I love that Bret, Paul, and Kevin checked in. They probably are looking at their screens and asking "what do we do now?" how about ship some new features before Facebook overlords take you off to do bigger things?

I feel sorry for all you addicts. My use of it is purely social.

I do like FF and use it almost every day. Wouldn't it be great if FB either left it alone so we can continue to use it as "professionals," or somehow incorporate it into a more "mature" version of FB that didn't have all the annoying, time-wasting apps, games, etc. I'd much prefer a totally customizable FF "wall."

Why should I? Whats in it for me? You doing some sort of survey of people to send out the police to do a "Safety Check" on when the site is shutdown?

here. anecdote: a friend of mine just signed up for FF this evening. apparently the FriendFeed hype of the last 24 hours pushed him over the top. leaves me wondering whether FF has actually gained users today?it would be a crafty way of marketing the service. I'll wake up tomorrow to discover that there was a problem with the paperwork and the FriendFeed team have had a change of heart.

Count me in even though I was just starting to get hooked. I guess it's time to find a rehab and get all sobered up until the next relapse with some other new addiction. Isn't life grand?

David -- this was a $9.95 session but you can get them for $7.95 and there are also 25% off coupons if you do online check-in prior to your Delta flight. That's an incentive for folks to use that service and offload kiosk use at the terminals. Very savvy marketing by the folks at GoGo and Delta combined.
- Jay Cuthrell
well, it's 12:12 a.m. and I'm perusing FF from my iPhone via BuddyFeed before turning in. so yeah, I guess I count. "Here!" (raises hand)

I recommend FF to some of my clients, and there are some companies and nonprofits with presences here—not like Twitter, but I'll be curious how that will be affected when FB takes over more. Most have FB fan pages, groups and/or causes, too.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
Yeah, me too. I just saw the request to have a comment link at the bottom of the comments from one of your friends just yesterday and here it is. I'd say they are listening. Thanks FF.

Hi, I'm Bette... I don't know if I'm an addict, but I can't stay away... I keep checking, just to see if something's new... and I cry if I get no responses to a post. Is that addictive behavior? :D
- Bette Cooper
Yup, I have blocked all the impersonators now. You will still see them, but I don't see them and they no longer can comment on any of my items.
- Robert Scoble
@scobleizer As far as I can see you have blocked not only the impersonators (who renamed themselves back the moment they found out you have a problem with this) but most of the folks who chatted there.
- Махатма Бугоганди
@meatreach yes, see next thread. Scobble becomes anti-Russian.
- Never Impersonate You
Maxatma: well, that's just too bad. I speak English. Sorry. People who don't speak English really don't have any business commenting on one of my items, except in rare cases.
- Robert Scoble
Why you, Robert Scoble, don't block users from Spain or Italy? China or arabic countries? Those users that comments on non-English languages?
- Never Impersonate You
@Robert, in fact they do speak English. But they also do make fun of Friendfeed and everything that's going on there. You can block them or take part in this fun. ;)
- Махатма Бугоганди
I prefer FF over twitter and facebook, but all my friends are on twitter and/or facebook. Maybe facebook will get it right this time now that it has acquired FF. If they simplify it a bit more without removing functionality. Then I would spend a bit more time on FB. Lets hope all goes well with the merger. If not I'm jumping ship and going over to Google Wave. oh wait, I'm going to go with Google Wave regardless! ;-)

@scobleizer i can speak english and i beg you to remove bann from all russian friendfeeders, because we are all from it-community, working in internet companies and we came with peace, you asked for feedback from friendfeed addicts — we show you how really it is being frf addicts, we change names, we chat, we making things that are not serious. Why so serious? Unlock people, they are not bots, they just playing the game of real addicts and have fun. Common.

shaun: I started this post to demonstrate that a lot of us are still here and aren't likely to leave. At least not quickly. So, life goes on after FriendFeed gets acquired by Facebook. Point proved.

@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all.

@Robert RE "I have enough noise in my life. I don't need to have more" - isn't it a lot of noise having 26K subscriptions and 46K subscribers on your frf account? I'm kind of surprised - you create a community that large around yourself, yet when you see a new and unusual activity you just block it right away.
- Махатма Бугоганди
@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you?

I'm sure this is part of Scoble's plot to poll all the people who really read his posts, and unfollow the rest. So I raise my hand.
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Just a wannabe. Not an addict (yet).
- Carole Hicks
It might also be a way for me to filter down my "following" count (diff (my followers, scoble)) are the only people I really need to follow. Those that scoble follows, I can safely unfollow and use Scoble as my social media filter :)

pardon the arrogance but it really sucks this great forum of sharing will turn into a myspace humdrum. Now I have to find another SM where first adopters and well informed techies won't haft to compete with general "noise"

Well, here's a comment I can later delete and rob the owner of 1500!
- Matthew DeVries
I just mention the 1500 mark since it was such an iconic query to see... that and the 500 Likes club of FF posts. It's pretty exclusive stuff... but it's also sobering to note that the subject matter required to get to these levels isn't always a uniform mix of cares/concerns.

New here, but learning. Tips for best use?
- Barbara Langham
@bdlangam From my perspective the #1 tip in this category is: Explore and define "best use" for yourself. Despite potential "finishing" impression of some productive consolidations in this collective-collaborative cognition space, the emergent #cognosphere is still WAY too nascent to assert anything other than initial impressions. March to the beat of your own drum; build your own...

#CalenGoo - Finally realized that I don't need to #SYNC my calendar if using an #iphone google calendar app that performs. Multiple calendars, invite attendees, add alerts... If I'm on my PC I already have my google calendar up anyway... http://calengoo.dgunia.de/Start...
@BEX and I liked the iPhone browser (safari) version with the one exception; I could not add items to multiple calendars I maintain. Playing with this CalenGoo and liking it more and more each minute. lol
- Dave
Pocket Informant rocks (except that you have to sync it).
- Greg
Trying to decide between this and Pocket Informant.
- Kevin Whalen
I use Pocket Informant and love it. It's a superb app and a mainstay on my iPhone
- Mike Fruchter
Pocket informant seems fairly promising with it's sync features to with Google and even the tasks with Toodledo. I'd like to check out Calengoo though. I like how it performs similar to Google calendar in a browser.
- Olympia Scott
Hrm. I really like the Google Cal sync - what about it don't you like that makes you want to use a different app for calendaring than the native calendar app on your iphone?
- Bill Rawlinson
I have gone with CalenGoo. I like how it closely resembles the google calendar interface. Which is one reason why I am going with it instead of Google Sync (native calendar app). So far no problems. Also, when I tried Google Sync with my Personal, Birthday, and Holiday calendars, every day on the native calendar app was marked as having an event in month view (even when there wasn't)....
more...
- Kevin Whalen
Can you only OTA to one Exchange server? I wasn't aware of that limitation. thanks for explaining Kevin. I don't use my iPhone for IM at all and I have never had any weird "ghost" events show up on my native calendar due to the sync. Overall it has been perfect for me - but I'll be curious to see how well it works out if my company goes to google apps since then I'll have both a work and personal google account I want to sync
- Bill Rawlinson
Bill - Yeah, unfortunately you can only have 1 Exchange ActiveSync account configured on the iPhone at a time. Before 3.0, you couldn't have both an Exchange account configured and local contacts synced (itunes) at the same time either. Thankfully this changed in 3.0, and you can now have both at the same time.
- Kevin Whalen
from email
iPhone 3.0 does support CalDav too. But can only sync 1 google calendar with iPhone. Where google sync can sync up to 25 calendars.
- Kevin Whalen
from iPhone
Still pining for an iPhone calendar that does weekly view in landscape mode. Edit: Drag and drop schedule editing would be ultra-welcome too.

Ever run out of toilet paper or trashbags at an inopportune moment and think to yourself, I wish I had someone to remind me when I need to buy household basics? Tonight at 9 pm, Alice.com will show you a better way to buy household essentials online that will not only remind you when you need more toilet paper but will save you time, and most importantly, money.

from Bookmarklet
This looks like a great idea! The free shipping and the massive variety of household items caught my attention.

Yeah definitely! Though like the article says, the one downside is that you have to order at least 6 items in an order (which would be annoying if you needed different items at different times)

i text a lot so i have to charge it at least 2 times a day!! Horrible!! I wish that battery lasted longer cant wait to upgrade to the new version!!
- Paula Teeter
yes, every night for the day connected day :)
- Foxarts
I have to charge my iPhone at night as well. If I use it through out the day, I need to charge it on my drive home. I bought the Mophie Juice Pack Air for mine and my wife's iPhone 3G. Now I have a case and a portable battery charger. I bought it from http://www.mophie.com/ with this Promo Code - air09 It basically got me about 10% off. If you live in Michigan there will be sales tax, otherwise there is no sales tax, but there is shipping. The Juice Pack Air will also fit and work with the iPhone 3Gs
- Gerard Lagana
Every 2 hours, without using phone, SMS, GPS or listening music, but I'm an unrecoverable case of webaholic ^_^ My iPhone is a unique part with my hand. It's a real problem the battery autonomy for the iPhone, but fortunately Apple have declared for 3GS model +30% of autonomy using Wi-Fi and +25% listening music

Every night, but I am planning on using ActiveSync soon with MS Exchange, so I see myself charging every time I am at my desk....
- Peter Ghosh
Every night, which is the only frustration I have with it. One of my previous phones was a Sony Ericsson k800i which tended to last a whole 5 days without needing a charge, that was both energy efficient and lessened my "oh crap" moments.

+1 for the mophie. I leave charging all night, always on charge if in the car, but have the mophie at hand if I'm out and about for the day. Essential piece of kit.

FYI, when my wife had HG it wasn't so much the nausea but the acid reflux due to the hormone imbalance. She was on Regalin, Zofran and Protonix. Protonix really helped her a lot!
