Submissions for FF gang sign
Picture 76.jpg
Picture 77.jpg
Show all
The first two are "F" in sign language, third is a little more shaped like the actual F...lemme know if that helps, Rahsheen and gang! - Josh Haley
I see a caricature-like logo where hands would be palms-up like this in the lotus position. Enlightenment. Each hand signing "F". cool. - tagami
I like that idea tagami - Josh Haley
bump. vote or suggest another pls - Josh Haley
And don't forget the variation for the night crew with the N and C sign afterwards =) Josh, no lie, I was thinking of exactly this last night. Get outta my head! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina..I'M IN UR HEADZ, MAKNG U FEEDZ FRENZ - Josh Haley
lol Brian - Josh Haley
We throwing up signs now?!! It's Like That?!! hahahahaha!!!!! - Anna Haro
I am SO not an expert on signs. My fingers can barely bend enough nowadays. Just trying to get some ideas out there. Let's see some more from everyone. Rahsheen's fault, he brought it up last night on a video. - Josh Haley
LOL! I like the 3rd one. - Her Lindsay-ness
Dude, I'm not on FF for one night & you're off throwing gang signs and starting shit. What the hell? Do you need a time out again? - Mark Wilson
The 3rd one looks the most like what I would think a gang sign would look like. What the hell do I know? - Mark Wilson
Oh, and I like how John looks kinda loveable dork in his avatar, and all grrr hardcore in these pics. Awesome! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Who's John? - Josh Haley
lol Mark...you left a vacuum i guess :O - Josh Haley
Gah, typo! You know darn good & well I meant Josh! It's Friday, can you really expect my brain to work? - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I like the third one, it's gang-sign-y-ish - mjc
GAH! I love that word! Yeah, I gotcha Tina ;) - Josh Haley
The first one is actually really similar to how you sign "free" in ASL. http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101... - Rochelle
And the second one is similar to "family" in ASL. http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101... - Rochelle
Nice one, Rochelle! - Josh Haley
Some prefer the printed letter F, for those who can't read sign - http://friendfeed.com/e... - Ontario Emperor
Looks good to me. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I actually prefer a single handed gang sign . . . since I'll be on FF with the phone in the other hand. - B. Hatin
Show me! Post your ideas for signs. - Josh Haley
Those first two will make people think you are throwing up "Bloods". - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
I think the only course to go here is to pick something directly from sign language.....I don't want anyone to bust a e-cap in my ass - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Monique - THANK YOU for that because I would never know. I too am not in need of a cap-busting. - Josh Haley
If you want a real ASL sign, let me know what word/words and I'll find it! - Rochelle
Rochelle, One for friend, feed and confess(ion) - Josh Haley
Oh, and Night Crew - Josh Haley
Feed is hard. There's a sign for "feed", but it's the eating sense. http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101... - Rochelle
"Night crew" would be the sign for "night" plus the sign for "group" or "team" so: http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101... plus http://homepage.gallaudet.edu/harry... - Rochelle
"Confession" would be signed as "true/truth": http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101... - Rochelle
Link back to Rah's new vid http://beta.friendfeed.com/e... - Josh Haley
Yeah, cause nothing says "we advocate gangs" like coming up with your own gang signs for products. - Joe from twhirl
Um... that last one Josh... um... - Johnny Worthington
LOL. Way to bump this Johnny. - Mark Wilson
Fail, I don't get it...plus there's no chest bump - sofarsoShawn
priceless - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Ummmmm... that last one. I don't know how to say this, but here: http://bit.ly/ewRll - Bec Rowe @d0tski
2 shockers are better than one? - Josh Haley
FF4LIFE - Carmen
*awkward fist bump!* - Josh Haley
That's nothing like the Blood sign (which is the coolest gang sign ever). Working from that, can anybody spell "feed" with their fingers? The night before the inauguration someone managed to spell "OBAMA," it was beyond awesome. - Friday Lo is Friday!
Mark Wilson
Mark Wilson is watching you poop

as if he wasn't already creepy enough - Lindsey is Fierce!
it's the smell that's making you semi-wince isn't it? sorry, i think I had a bad burrito : / - Maria
ewww - Morgan Haley
This explains much. - Steven Perez
I swear I've seen this video today of some teenage girls acting goofy about American Idol, but I can't find the link anywhere. Maybe Josh has it? :/ - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOL ff is improving my mood. STOP THAT!!! I like being Mrs. McCrabbity. -
It's Ceiling Mark. - Her Lindsay-ness
Oh YAY! Now all of my voyeristic dreams have come true! - Katie: Whelmed Overly
creepy - Caroline
I don't understand but it's still funny. - Brian Bufalo
It's a really big responsibility because, hey, everyone poops. - dkb
as long as he leaves before the paperwork begins, i guess it's ok. - Morgan Haley
mark ... shouldnt you be working on anther FFundercats ,,,, get busy ... - johnpiercy
its Peephole Mark - johnpiercy
John...peep is not what I read at first. -
I was wondering who that was behind the toilet paper?! - Carlton Hackett from twhirl
Mark Wilson obviously needs a life. :) - Ontario Emperor
True story: my dog can't poop if we watch. - Nine
Egads - Morton Fox
is that because I'm looking at this while on the toilet and using FF on iPhone - Valley
toooo much information! - Susan Beebe
it's peanut butter jelly time! - Josh Haley
DAMMIT HALEY! - Mark Wilson
someone kill this thread, please - Mark Wilson
it smells like roses, right? - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE from fftogo
O HAI - Josh Haley
DAMMIT HALEY! - Mark Wilson
Quit it! - WorldofHiglet
See Jon, I'm watching you poop! - Mark Wilson
Great. Now I'll never be able to crap again. You know I have shy poo... - Jon, the Beartato of FF
And for once it wasn't ME that bumped this! - Josh Haley
that's just downright unesttlin' - Joe Pierce
Why won't it go away?!? - WorldofHiglet
Because I'm watching you poop! - Mark Wilson
But I'm not pooping! - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo
Flushes... - Rick Kaiser
Shhh .. I'm thinking about pudding and cookie dough - Mattb4rd
From the safety and security of Lifeguard Station 142 on Lake Erie. - Christopher Harley
are you listening as well? - Jim Hearts FF
It helps me to know. It helps me to go. - Josh Haley
NOT my desktop - WorldofHiglet
I have anti-poutine software that keeps unwanted Canadians off my hard drive. - Steven Perez
pfffft - WorldofHiglet
Top scientists have injected Mark Wilson with cilantro so that the poutine in his system would be undetectable to such a system. They have the technology. - Joe Pierce
That would work - unless you had the recent upgrade from the Cilantro Gods. Such an upgrade would render unwanted Canadians inert. - Steven Perez from IM
AHHHHHHHHH ITS BACK! - CW™
It never went away....:( - WorldofHiglet
Shevonne
For all cat lovers, my cat keeps vomiting. I don't know what the issue is. Is it maybe the food I'm giving him?
I would take him to the vet - RAPatton
Definitely go to the vet. Could very well be nothing, but it's always good to check it out. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Did this start suddenly? Is your cat an outdoor cat? - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
I got him a month ago, and he use to be a stray. He is now an indoor cat. Well I took him to the vet about two weeks ago, and they gave me medicine cause he had worms in his stomach. I gave him the first dose, and tomorrow is the second one. Could it be that he is throwing up all the nastiness out of his system? - Shevonne
I'd finish up the medication but if it doesn't get better in the next day or two after the second dose, take him back. My cat vomits about 1-2 times per day but it's because of a sensitive stomach and eating too fast. Your cat could be perfectly fine, but definitely get it checked out to make sure it's not something more serious. - Rochelle
My cat does the same sometimes Rochelle - and it's always semi-whole food he vomits. I don't worry about that kind of vomiting at all. But if it's bile and you don't think it's pre-furball vomit, I'd take him in. He could be reacting to the deworming meds as well. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Thanks everyone. I am going to follow Rochelle's advice and wait a day or two to see what happens after he finishes the medication. - Shevonne
Call the Vet...sometimes they can help right over the phone - Susan Beebe
Ok, I'll call them. Thanks so much! - Shevonne
It could be the meds, but if he was a stray he might not yet be used to the idea that he doesn't need to compete for food and he's eating too much too fast. Try giving him several small meals through the day if you can. - Nine
Make sure he drinks plenty. In part it could be side effects of the meds, especially since your cat is probably still adjusting to new food, new lifestyle. Try feeding less and in smaller doses, perhaps? (not that i have cats, only a dog) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I thought about that. The thing is I go to work sometimes, so I have this automatic feeder thing. - Shevonne
also, since its the holidays, you may have plants out that have a higher instance of toxicity to the cat than your average house plant. you may want to assess that as well. - Carlos Ayala
Automatic feeders can lead to overeating in any animal. I go to work, too, but fill my cats' bowl with food in the morning before I leave and then when I get home in the evening. Two bowls a day shared between two cats is plenty. - Rochelle
Ok, I'm going to eliminate the feeder for a week to see if that does the trick. Also, these kids are constantly sneaking some treats to him, so......it must be overeating - Shevonne
ewwwww - Shevonne
I think your cat has an eating disorder. You should just sit it down and explain that you love it just the way it is and it doesn't have to change. - James Ferguson
He does have FIV so that could be a factor as well - Shevonne
What wet food is good for sensitive stomachs? - Shevonne
My cats vomit frequently after eating too. I wonder if it isn't because I ONLY feed them 2x a day. When they get the food they seem to "overindulge" and I think that may lead to the vomiting. When I try to feed them smaller meals more often, they seem to NOT vomit so much.... - Tiffany Campbell
My sister's cat recently died of Hepatic Lipidosis caused by overfeeding. A visit to the vet is probably a good bet. http://www.petplace.com/cats... - Sprague D
Thanks for the link. I called the vet, and she said to try a more blander wet food. If it continues, then to bring him in. She said that if his stools are ok, then it might just be overfeeding - Shevonne
Also check for allergies. We changed cat food and she throws up way less. - Susan Beebe
One of my cats is a vomit machine. She yacks less when we feed her food without a lot of added colors. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yeah, I think that is what the vet said. She said Iams is good. It's blander - Shevonne
Shouldn't we be feeding these animals real meat rather than processed food? - alphaxion
alphaxion, there are some people that do. No meat is allowed in my house, though, so cat food is the closest my cats get to meat! - Rochelle
I read into that. It's more of an issue for me because I don't stay home, so I would have to mix dry food with real food and that make him sick - Shevonne
Thanks Patricia! - Shevonne
It's much better for cats to be on an all wet food diet, especially males, as they are more susceptible to urinary problems. A cat on dry food gets half the amount of water then if they are on an all wet food diet. My cat also vomits sometimes after eating her wet food. I feed all 3 cats twice a day, and she tends to eat too fast. Depending on weight, a cat should be getting at least... more... - Chelsey Roe
Hepatic Lipidosis usually causes a cat's appetite to diminish, so they usually under-eat, not over-eat. In this case, to make sure you're cat is getting enough calories, you may have to feed her with a syringe or even a feeding tube. More about this problem at this website http://www.catinfo.org/ - Chelsey Roe

For my Facebook and Friendfeed peeps: 25 Things You May or May Not Know About Me - http://bigstarlet.tumblr.com/post...
Four octaves? Impressive. - Ontario Emperor
#23 is scary :-P - A.T.
Oh, silpol, it's only for people that piss me off! Which is not many and not often - I guess that qualifier needs to be in there, no? - Helen Sventitsky
<3 - Anna Haro
I love you too, Anna. As well as the 12 other people who "liked" this. :D - Helen Sventitsky
I thought number 12 said you were a Cheese Whiz, i think thats as impressive as chess whiz actually. thanks for sharing. - Steve C
Helen - I've often been mistaken for rude or unfriendly because I am quite shy and quiet when I first meet people, so I understand completely. All it usually takes is one thing in common and I'll talk your ear off, though. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I think, at that age, I didn't know better, and I think I would have rather been a Cheese Whiz. :D - Helen Sventitsky
Sean is in my club! :D - Helen Sventitsky
making a mental note regarding #23 (*always be nice to helen, always be nice to helen, always be nice to helen*) - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Helen, you and I share #23. I try to work on it, but it's hard... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
*note to self: be extra nice to Tina as well* ; ) - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Marco, LOL!! Tina, given what you went through as a kid, I can't say that I blame you. - Helen Sventitsky
#17, likewise :) - Nia
Seriously, I've lived for it. Now, I'm just rather numb to it. - Helen Sventitsky
::bumps:: - David Cook
I love supporting other people and THEIR endeavors. I’m usually quite silent about it, however. <<< I feel it Helen :) - Myrna
About #23, you know where the negative energy resides :( ok, its 'your work', all solved, that was easy :) - Myrna
Whoa Hey! Hi Myrna. thanks! :) - Helen Sventitsky
:)) It's the truth! - Myrna
Intuition!!! - Myrna
I did not know that! - Christopher Harley
orionstarr
How can I get my feed here?
Sorry, orionstarr, I just saw this message. If anyone wants their feed included, just post your LAST.FM user name as a comment to this thread, and my alter ego will add your feed to this group/room. - John E. Bredehoft
orionstarr78 added. - Ontario Emperor
Thanks. - John E. Bredehoft
Don't mention it. - Ontario Emperor
Thank you! - orionstarr from iPhone
Thank you for volunteering to share. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

Why is Twitter shutting down in 2012? - Steve Rubel
Plus it will have lots more (Google) Services added to it :-) - Martin Rix (Mrrix32)
@Steve I don't think it means Twitter is shutting down. I think it means Twitter will bar FriendFeed from using its feed ;-) - Rubin Sfadj
This is too kewl - Peter Dawson
Hilarious - may all come to pass before 2018. - Todd McKinney
Love it. But 2018? I'd except to be able to get Friend.com directly through the HUD in my flying car by then... Only silversurfers (like us) would still use "web browsers" in 2018. - Tony Ruscoe
Twitter feed not available? That may come to pass at 10:30. - Bill Bittner
And what's up with "low karma comments"? I thought the karma thing left us in the seventies... but yes, everything comes on cycles... - Alex von Halem
awesome. - Tobias Boonstoppel
You've got the Google thing backwards :) - Paul Buchheit
Hey, I just noticed I'm in the screenshot. :D @Paul: ? What's backwards, where? - Voyagerfan5761
Actually, it missed one important thing - a HUGE ad, taking up the top half of the screen, for a substance that is just as effective as Viagra (which was banned in 2011). - Ontario Emperor
I think Paul's saying that in 2018 ff will own google - j1m
It's comforting that hitting monkeys will still be as popular in 2018 as they are now. - Ginger Makela Riker
One thing they got wrong: by 2012, Paul will have started his own country southwest of Alaska on an artificial island. It'll be called Free Festivusland, and it'll get the top-level domain “ff”. FriendFeed will then be http://ff/ — no dots or coms or nets or orgs. - Amit Patel
@Amit P. ROFL .. very funny - Steven Hodson
@Jason lol :D - Voyagerfan5761
I think the web will be voice and audio driven in 10 years, or at least it will be available. There's even some startup now that can sense nerve pulses to the vocal chords to know what you'll say before you actually say it. - Mike Reynolds
I think comments won't be replaced by nested commented, just like @ in twitter, many people like this. - terababy
Mike Reynolds, now I'm scared. Very scared. I'll get myself in trouble before I actually hear what I'm saying (rather than after). - Ontario Emperor
For some reason, the Facebook deal makes this future user interface look more likely. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Ladybug Heather
Don't blame me, blame Madpriest: On some far away planet in some far away galaxy Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were staring into each other's eyes. "I know what you've been given for Christmas," Darth says to Luke. No you don't," replies Luke. "You couldn't possibly know." "Oh, yes I do," says Darth. "I know exactly what you've been given for...
Darth Vader replies, "I felt your presents." - Ladybug Heather
*GROAN* - Steven Perez
Then the cops arrested Mr. Vader because he caused a disturbance in the Force. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
John E. Bredehoft
Ignore this. I'm testing something.
The test is proceeding. - Ontario Emperor
Specifically, I was trying to figure out what the two greater than signs (">>") meant when they appeared next to the time stamp of a FriendFeed entry. I'm assuming that you can't see the greater than signs, but I can because I am one of the participants in a direct message thread related to this item. Technically I'm the only participant, since "Ontario Emperor" is also me. But "Ontario... more... - John E. Bredehoft
I cannot see any greater than signs. You two are the same person? - Kol Tregaskes
Yes, except when I'm in "Ontario Emperor" mode I stomp around and make imperial pronouncements which my dog proceeds to ignore. - John E. Bredehoft
Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Do you put forth energy into monitoring who "blocks" "unfollows" or "hides" you? Some folks seem really on top of that.
...or maybe no one can see me... hmmmm. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I see you. I don't care unless you tell me. - Robert Scoble
I don't. - €€€€€€€€
I don't keep track of my follower count. - Andrew Trinh
Nope. I have my notifications turned off. - Mona Nomura
Nope. - Lisa L. Seifert
I don't think I would have the time to do that on a regular basis, but that's only me. - Barbara Duck
Frankly, I could care less. I can't control who likes or doesn't like my stuff, and I'd just assume not bother. - Helen Sventitsky
I don't either--I keep seeing dialog about people noticing that "so&so blocked me..." and can't help but wonder--How do you know (without going out of your way)--why do you care? - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Nope, don't follow that at all. - Amit Morson
I don't really care who un-follows or who does. I like when people do follow me, but if someone un-follows it's their business and there's not much I can do to change their mind about it. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
I'm not even sure how I *could* track that even if I were interested. - Mattie Kenny
Energy put forth for who blocks you, or unfollows or hides you, seems like energy wasted... if you mention why you're doing it in a public fashion, I might care. Otherwise, there's better things to spend energy on, clearly. - Colin Charles from twhirl
I've only blocked three people on FriendFeed; one for using my feed content to spread crap about me, and two for other, more personal reasons. Again, it's the discretion of the user, and it's not my business as to why they do or do not. - Helen Sventitsky
As far as I know, there's no way for me to tell who blocks or unfollows me unless I keep a list of my followers and check against that list to see if everyone is still on there. - Rochelle
Didn't even know that was an option. But now that I do: nah. - Type Micah
I only keep track of who is following me so that I can follow them back. - Colide81 (James)
No. If someone chooses not to read me, they're probably wise. No one can please everybody. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
I don't care - Amber, Random Time Lord
Nope, personal choice. - Adrienne Van Houten
I only noticed someone blocked me today on Twitter because someone was upset about my tweet and as I was attempting to reply Twitter told me I was blocked. - Andrew Trinh from Nambu
How can you check? - Adriana
I checked by following them, I knew I was following them before and wasn't at that instance. Twitter provided an alert saying I wasn't allowed to follow them any more. - Andrew Trinh
Roll call I guess---hellifiknow... - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
None whatsoever - Mike Fruchter
Didn't even know I could do it... :) - Jordi Soler
I review every single new follower and block folks who have no apparent reason to care about what I'm saying. I wish I could force their follow to be "private", so that their face doesn't show on my page and my follower count isn't incremented. The Twitter gods have not provided such a feature. (I don't care at all who unfollows or blocks me.) - Richard Soderberg
I've tried one or 2 things on Twitter but turned up them almost immediately. Basically no, not worried in the slightest, they have their reasons to unfollow I'll just carry on what I do. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
nope - MikeAmundsen
Who has the time for that and would want to use it that way? - Internet Strategist
Natalie Davis
How does one have one's last.fm feed included? NR Davis (gdread)
I just saw this comment on Monday evening. I'll make sure gdread is added. - John E. Bredehoft
(Had to slip into my superhero alter ego...haven't done this in a while! - Ontario Emperor
OK, gdread is officially added to the feeds in this room! If anyone else wants a user feed added, please comment. - Ontario Emperor

T'was a nice Halloween theme going here on FF. Then Scoble logs on and it's election election election. blah blah blah.
Hey, politics is scary! - Rob H.
Do you want the candidate that will give you cool candy? - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
Your election has gone on so long the scariness has become mind numbing - Capn' One Eye - adrift
Under Obama's plan if you have a certain amount of candy, you have to give a large portion of your oh I am just too tired for this. - Akiva Moskovitz
I want the candidate least likely to take my candy. -
Under McCain everyone in the neighborhood yells "Get off my lawn and buy your own candy!" - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Robert, Robert, Robert, can't you take ONE day off without talking about politics? Yeah, I know it's right before election day, but it's Halloween for gosh sakes. - Mol, Time Warping

P.D.Q. Bach [pseudonym of Peter Schickele] – Iphigenia in Brooklyn, cantata, S53162 - http://www.last.fm/music...
This piece consists of an Aria, a Recitative, a Ground, another Recitative, and another Aria. I can truly say that the Ground ("Dying, and yet in death alive") is one of my favorite pieces of music. Not just the cello or the singing, but also the double reeds - Schickele notes that many composers wrote for double reeds, but only PDQ Bach wrote for double reeds without using an oboe or bassoon.... - Ontario Emperor

14 Ways to Describe Twitter - http://www.ariwriter.com/2008...
14 Ways to Describe Twitter
Before reading the article.. I'd call Twitter a modern ham radio. - Phil G
"Small steps, Sparks." "CQ, CQ, this is W9GFO, do you copy? CQ, CQ..." Okay, I'm done quoting Contact now. - Mark Trapp
+1 Mark - Yolanda
Twitter would a be dinner party with too many guests. - Anika
Twitter is a bar. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
twitter is the water cooler - Adam Singer
Passing notes in elemetary school. - Rob H.
modern telegram, walkie talkie, online post-it notes - Susan Beebe
Twitter is the Grand Central Trainstation.... I wanna know what Friendfeed is? - Peter Efland
Twitter is a cross between speed-dating and public speaking. You talk at a lot of people but you only get a minute to say what's on your mind... and you may not hear if someone responds... Or it may be an event no one attends and you're just in a room talking to yourself. - Her Lindsay-ness
Twitter is public shouting, but the thing is people do listen to that shoutin - Varun Mahajan
Plant a seed in Twitter - watch it grow in FriendFeed. - Chris Loft
Peter, FriendFeed is an elementary school playground. - Anika
Friendfeed is more like ham radio than twitter is, IMO - Kevin L
"online post-it notes" I like that one Susan - Alejandro
How is it I never saw this until now? Do Google Alerts not work with FriendFeed? Weird. - Ari Herzog
Twitter is the graffiti on the bathroom wall. - Paula W
But Paula, you must remember this is where the words of the prophets are written if Paul Simon is to be believed. - Aaron Krug
@Aaron Krug If followers make the prophet, that is... - Paula W

37 songs on my last.fm playlist are no longer available, including Devo's "C'mon," Dilba's "Miracles," and Jerry Harrison's "Man With a Gun." Disappointed.
I think it's Warner Bros. that pulled their licenses last week from Last.FM because they could get a better deal with MySpace Music. Very disappointing. - Dana Franks from twhirl
Spot on, Dana - Michael W. May from twhirl
acck. bummer. the music industry politics suck. - edythe
Found brief article. See my FriendFeed post http://friendfeed.com/e... - Ontario Emperor
Hmm...Talking Heads' "Born Under Punches" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer" still played for me this morning. Interesting... - Ontario Emperor
Hm. I must use last.fm in some oddball way; I've never played songs from the site. I just use iTunes, find last.fm interesting to view my listening habits. - Phil Crissman
I'm probably the oddball. I've never installed any of last.fm's software. I just select items I like, add them to the playlist, and listen away. - Ontario Emperor
I scrobble from iTunes, Pandora and I use the last.fm software to listen - Jeff Quinton
I don't usually play songs on the site unless someone wants me to hear something i don't have and lst.fm has the whole song. - edythe
On May 17, 2009, the Dilba song came up in my last.fm. I'll re-check "C'mon" and "Man With a Gun." - John E. Bredehoft
Neither "C'mon" nor "Man With a Gun" are available. But at least we have Dilba. - John E. Bredehoft
They change periodically without logic. Also, check for variant names. Sometimes the (album version) or a subtitled track will be streamable. - Michael W. May

I just checked my rolling three month charts by track. - http://www.last.fm/user...
Top 4 are Roxy Music, "Avalon"; Dilba, "Miracle" (acoustic); Siouxsie and the Banshees, "The Passenger"; and Backstreet Boys, "Incomplete." However, due to Warner Brothers pulling their stuff off last.fm, the Dilba song will no longer rank in my charts. WB's loss. - Ontario Emperor
I think they may reverse that decision as soon as whatever they are trying themselves losses enough money. *edit* I'll have to look at my rolling tracks. - Michael W. May
As I suspected, Claire Guerreso's entire As Is EP followed by Bat For Lashes' debut. - Michael W. May
On May 18, 2009, the Dilba song came up in my last.fm scrobbler. :) - John E. Bredehoft

Mitchell Tsai
Top 51 FriendFeed Likeaholics - You've helped make my FriendFeed experience lots of wonderful... Thanks for your cool links! :-) WARNING: Subscribing can be hazardous to your feed...and bring WAY too many cool articles/pictures/links...
Robert Patton - "RAPatton" (49,307) http://friendfeed.com/pattonr... Discussion http://friendfeed.com/pattonr... - Mitchell Tsai
I guess I'm just more stingy with my likes - only 1422 from me - Nathan Chase
Sorry, but my one pet peeve about FriendFeed are those who Like EVERYTHING. It tremendously devalues the feature when these Like-happy FFholics start OCD'n with their trigger finger. - Brad Williamson
I should hit 10,000 in the next couple of weeks. - Mathew™ one of a kind
Whoa. I'm at like 12K. And I didn't really start getting into FF until September of '08. - Derrick
Brad: From my experience, these heavy likers all have really good taste. If you surf 20,000-100,000 entries/day, you still have to be pretty damn selective to choose 400 to like. There's a huge amount of dedication (or addiction) to look at so much stuff... Take a look at their discussion feeds before you pass judgement. :-) Surfing these people's discussions is a great way to waste (...use) time. - Mitchell Tsai
Some people aren't looking at anything except the link that says Like - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Sorry Mitchell, but there's just no way to absorb anywhere near 20-100k pieces of content in a single day. Honestly, it's probably impossible to even adequately peruse a thousand in one day. - Brad Williamson
Brad: Watch the live feed on Friend for just an hour. How many items do you think you're seeing in an hour? Some studies show that our brains can visually recognize pictures in 1/3 of a sec (and get about 1000 words of information). Many of the people on this list are on FriendFeed 4-12+ hrs/day. They might be liking only one item every few minutes, and still have 100-400 likes/day. FriendFeed's got quite a few people with AMAZING taste. It's a joy to have so many people helping me filter the news! - Mitchell Tsai
Those likes aren't from one full day, Brad. That's over the lifetime of their FF account. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
glad to see you spreading the love, Mitchell :) - mjc
The funniest part of this thread as that none of the people listed are the ones I consider likeaholics - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Rah, not even RAPatton and edythe? - Akiva Moskovitz
Oh, sorry. Didn't see edythe. Can't say I noticed RAP, but maybe he just doesn't Like my stuff :) (or doesn't like as fast) - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
LOL Rasheen! "Quality" likeaholics. P.S. Brad, in the "old days" the speed limit on likes was ~60/day. I hit it quite a bit in my like-a-holic days. It was raised for people like Polly Roberts and Robert Patton who brought so many non-tech articles to my feeds before I started following 700+ people and reading the Everyone feed (Thanks to Robert Scoble who first brought me here...) - Mitchell Tsai
Oh, and Mitchell, I'm not sure everyone would appreciate their full, real names posted here for all to see. - Akiva Moskovitz
@Tina I know, I know. I was afraid you might think that. I'm talking about those who knock out about 5k a week. That's nowhere near the degree I believe many of you might think I'm hinting at. - Brad Williamson
@Rasheen That's what I'm thinking, too ;-) - Brad Williamson
Akiva: Simply click on people's Facebook icons & you'll see their names... If there's no easily-found name linked to FriendFeed, I'm not posting it. (Kind of confusing "edythe" is "furry" is Polly Roberts. And so many Farzads...) - Mitchell Tsai
I think the Likeaholics I'm thinking of are new to FF and maybe trying to catch up - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Mitchell, ah, gotcha. As you were, then. - Akiva Moskovitz
Good point though Akiva. If anyone wants me to blank their name from this list, just tag this entry, and I'll edit your name (and delete your entry)... - Mitchell Tsai
iamghostblogger does not agree: http://friendfeed.com/e... - edythe
Welcome to FriendFeed, Buth dangoi! - Mitchell Tsai
wow I almost feel good that this is a list I didn't make it on :) - Steven Hodson
It is interesting but I am following every single person on this list already. Now I know why there's so much good stuff coming at me! - Robert Scoble
Robert: For the first time, I ran Felix's FriendZone, and I was subscribed to everyone on the Top 100 already! http://ff.deasil.com/friendz... - Mitchell Tsai
Cool band name: "So many Farzads" - Oldengrey (Jay)
You might as well add me to this list. Because I'm well on my way to getting there. BTW, there is nothing wrong with liking a lot of things. If your worried about things getting buried then use the tools available on Friendfeed to filter things. - Mathew™ one of a kind
Apologies to anyone I left off this list. I thought of this when reading Kol Tresgaskes' “I just hit 15,000 likes on FriendFeed!” post http://friendfeed.com/e... and people were asking about other people with lots of "likes". - Mitchell Tsai
Thanks to Felix for his FriendZone tool. I looked at the 200 people on Mahdi Ebrahimi's FriendZone http://ff.deasil.com/friendz... and my FriendZone http://ff.deasil.com/friendz... to create this list of 50 people. - Mitchell Tsai
You're forgiven Mitchell - Charlie Anzman
LOL Charlie! - Mitchell Tsai
wow, 15,000 - thats persistent! - Peter Efland
6800 and didn't make the list...wow. - Amber, Random Time Lord
Sorry I didn't include you on the list Amber... I was originally just doing 15,000+, but stretched down to 8,500 before I got worn-out. By a strange coincidence, I think (not sure of my count) it's exactly 50 people... People have been quite active. Last time I looked at "like" counts, Polly was the only person over 20,000. It was nice to see new names in the list! - Mitchell Tsai
If everyone here hit up my Comments/Likes stats collection http://friendfeed.com/e... , bye-bye quasi-random sampling :) - Micah Wittman
I was pointing out that even with that many likes... I wasn't in the top 50. And it made me happy. Means lots of good shares and conversation. - Amber, Random Time Lord
:-) Amber, I was worried you felt bad that you weren't on "the list" (many people seem to worry if they are on or not-on any list). There are SO many amazing people here. I started making a short list of people with amazing pictures http://friendfeed.com/e... that aren't on my older lists. - Mitchell Tsai
Great list, thanks for this. Mitchell. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Like! ;) - Tyson Key
Not in the top 50, but ... Mike Reynods (8,124) http://friendfeed.com/mikerey... - Mike Reynolds
To be fair, a good portion of my likes are songs that appeared in the lastfmfeeds room, so my like totals may be somewhat inflated. (Then again, I created the room, so I guess I should claim the likes and shut up.) - Ontario Emperor
Any statistic is going to be possibly meaningless. Even if one looks at comments instead of likes, those may be skewed from commenting on your own things (e.g. if you share something from Google Reader and add a note). - Ontario Emperor
I guess the takeaway from here is that anyone on the top 50 list, or for that matter anyone on the top 5000 list, is using likes and comments to engage with others. And that's a good thing. - Ontario Emperor
[Update: May 11, 2009] Wow! Morton Fox is at 107,095 likes - Mitchell Tsai
Yes, a like from Morton makes your day - LPH™ and his dog P™
[Update: May 11, 2009] You guys have been so busy here at FriendFeed. Morton Fox has 107,095 likes, Robert Patton 76,251 likes. Polly's 58,458 likes. ....means I have 110,000 items to catch up with (no counting all the commented items). Whew... - Mitchell Tsai
Yup and I've definitely moved up in this list a bit too, hehe. - Alex Scoble
Question: Any way to make lists like these automatically with the new search? (e.g. people with the most comments/likes) I've love to have a way to make topical lists for science, music, movies, etc... (e.g. in simplist form - people with the most comments with "keyword alpha") I made this list by hand... - Mitchell Tsai
Mitchell, perhaps question to pose to the guys in this group: http://friendfeed.com/ffss. As for topical lists I've gone through loads and loads of groups and found my favourites. I've created lists for each of my favourite topics and added relevant groups to each list. Then I've created saved searches for each topic list showing me entries with x likes and x comments. Works pretty well though took a while to set-up. - Kol Tregaskes
Kol: Yeah. But I'm in the position of trying to catch up again on 3 months. It's be nice for some automated tools, or way to share groups. - Mitchell Tsai
Mitchell, 3 months!? Gosh, good luck. ;-) I can barely catch up a missed day. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Haggis (Sean Loyless)
AWESOME! The electric company just gave me an electronic thermostat that can be controlled over the internet for free, with free install as well!
Yes, but was it FREE? - Mattie Kenny
FREE FREE FREE FREE - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'd be worried about security. What if DYSP were to hack your thermostat? :) - Ontario Emperor
He would, that rat bastard. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
The lady at the camera shop would say that how "they" are out to spy on you. - Anika
So, now Big Brother will decide, for you, at what temperature your own home should be? No thanks. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Big Brother can already (thanks to the "stimulus" bill) decide for your doctor how he/she can/should treat you, so why not? I mean, Big Brother knows best, apparently. - Craig Eddy
Pshh, okay tin foil hat wearers, simmer down. The internet control is only for my use, plus it'll be nice to have a programmable thermostat. I need to squeeze every last cent out of my electric bill. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Who is doing the controlling, you or the electric company? - Rochelle
The fine print, from the mailer: "When demand for electricity is at its highest, Peak Saver participants agree to let CPS Energy remotely access their central air conditioners to cycle compressors off for short periods of time - about 10 mins each half-hour - from 3pm - 7pm M - F only during peak demand months." - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Now they have another excuse to raise your rates! - Paul
So can we take the tin foil hats off now, Sean? - Craig Eddy
If this were Houston and I was dealing with Reliant energy, I might agree. CPS is a lot better. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
So they turn it off, right? - Michelle Martinez
What kind of Thermostat can you control via internet? I want one! - Les Zaldor
Only 10 mins p/half hour, which won't make a difference anyway. Currently I haven't even been running it at all, and during the summer my ceiling fans do most of the work. They do not control the temperature settings, only the cycling. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Here's an article I found about the program: http://www.achrnews.com/Article... - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I would kill anyone who tried to touch my thermostats during the summer. - Joey Gibson
I'm not normally a tin foil hat wearer, but I don't want my power company even slightly touching my AC in the summer in Texas. What if they manage to eff it up? I don't know know about CPS, but TXU is 100% pure suck. - Michelle Martinez
Ugh Michelle, I know. I switched from Reliant to TXU for a few months before I left Houston, and they were cheaper but SO much worse. I'm really not worried about it. I can still set the thing to 65 degrees if I want and they can't control it, only turn it off twice during times when I'm not normally in the home in the first place. It needs to be noted that this is only during "Peak" conditions and may not even happen every day during those months. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Oh, I see. I am normally home all day and turning the AC off for even 10 minutes in this piece of crap duplex would be a nightmare. - Michelle Martinez
I understand completely. I've got ceiling fans in every room, plus plenty of trees to provide shade for the house so it doesn't get very hot here anyway. I'm also fairly warm-natured anyway (you saw how I shivered even in 65 degree weather) so typically my A/C doesn't dip below 75 in the first place, usually closer to 78-80. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'd rather buy my own that only I can control - Lindsey is Fierce!
WE BRING THE POWER! - Geoff Schultz
Nice!!! - Nia
I don't mess with another man's thermostat, thankyouverymuch. :D - Steven Perez
Oh, and make sure that thing is secured. - Steven Perez
They offer this in California, but the electric company (PG&E) actually CONTROLS your thermostat during times of heavy electrical use when there's strain on the grid. Because it's apparently our fault that California and the energy companies are too f'ing lame to expand the infrastructure along with the massive amounts of housing they keep allowing to accumulate here... - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Yea, but can it post temperature updates to FriendFeed? - Mark Krynsky
Finally got the call for the installation, 3 months later! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Yeah, best meme EVAR! - Vincent X
Are you on the left or on the right? - Ontario Emperor
LOL +1 Ontario - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
and this is why there are people out there in the wold scared of clowns. hell, looking at this photo, i think i'm developing a phobia right this second. - ♥patricia♥
Awww! I was scared of clowns as a kid, tho. - Mattie Kenny
+Ontario...hahaha - Anna Haro
Surely, you did not see Poltergeist before this moment. - Josh Haley
No, but several years later after I had watched Poltergeist he ended up on the front lawn, and I had long stopped sleeping with him. But before then, nah. It was Ronald McDonald! Every kid loves McDonalds. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOL @Haggis. I had a McDonald's dress my mom had made for me. I loved that dress, would scream every morning to wear that dress (uh-oh, now I'm realizing my little girl is like me!), but I wouldn't eat McDonald's. I'd rather starve than eat there. - Anika
*bump* - Rodfather
aww. - edythe
Guess Sean hadn't seen "Poltergeist" yet. - Shevonne
I had a knock-off version of that doll. And the nightmares to accompany it. - PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK
Aw, you're so cute, but that Ronald doll kinda scares me. - Carmen
I got rid of this doll as soon as I saw Poltergeist the first time. That thing was not going to drag me under the bed! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I think the Afro needs to return. The closest I've seen to a 21st century Afro was the best friend in High School Musical. But it doesn't compare to Afros back in the day. - Ontario Emperor

too cute! - Egyirba from twhirl
oh, oh, oh. still my favorite. still my favorite. the drooled-on lower lip, the slightly gappy front teeth, the citrus-slice shape of the grin, the barely-there eyebrows, the miniature ears, the aura around the hair, the feetsies... - edythe

great photos. love the fourth one. - Cee Bee

That first one of you is so cute! - Helen Sventitsky
Hehe, Igor, that would have squished the budgie! - Her Lindsay-ness
@Helen - I remember that being my favorite shirt. I loved the rainbow stripes. And that little bird, sad that I'm not even sure which of the many parakeets I had he was. Don't you love Bo's Dukes of Hazard shirt?? - Her Lindsay-ness
I get that look in the first pic, ALL THE TIME. - Internet's Tad
Bo's just a good old boy, never meanin' no harm. - Helen Sventitsky
I've got some from the '90s too whenever that meme comes around. You won't believe my hair. - Her Lindsay-ness
I love the straight-jacket posture in the first pic :P - Jemm

Breadlines and Battlecries | The Cosmic Tap
"Valleywag picked up a FriendFeed discussion between a few of us yesterday regarding the bailout bill within which Scoble blames 'people like [me]' for the coming 'breadlines'. It rings a little hollow considering where I’ve been on all this and where he’s been (i.e. nowhere), but it brings a much more important issue to the fore..." - Anthony Citrano
lol - Cee Bee
gotta have somebody to blame - right? - Marc Canter
Hey, it's supposed to be "Blame Scoble" not "Scoble Blames You." Hmmm, I gotta fire my PR firm. :-) - Robert Scoble
People like you? - Alex Scoble
From the article: "So, all of you: call your legions to arms. Tell them a national emergency requires that they spend an hour a day seriously evaluating the American way of life, thinking critically about where we stand as a nation, how we got here, and how they might help in the rebuilding. This is not politics; this is hardcore societal bodywork." - Ontario Emperor
I've been talking to people at Fast Company and Inc here in NYC today. There are two problems. 1. The very real credit crunch. The Congress can get us out of that one, maybe. 2. Our fear. We're now all hoarding and preparing for the worst. I know I'm not spending money on projects that I was planning on doing (like I need to fix a shower). That too will cause harm to our economy and is something we can do something about, but, tell me how to get me over my fears and my hoarding impulse? - Robert Scoble
Thanks Anthony, very well said. Glad this came around again. - jcunwired
@Robert: Glad to see you're on a more even keel today. Credit will tighten but not stop. Things will get worse before they get better. I'd have to refer you to a therapist for the fear issue. I have faith that we're strong enough to get through it. The Bay Area survived the web 1.0 dot com crash. It wasn't easy (I was out of work for 11 months and had to go back to my old career for half pay) but ... we make due, we soldier on, we rebuild. Corny, I know. [edit] And a dose of lolcats ;) - AJ Kohn
AJ: oh, we'll get through it. We made it through the depression and the civil war (where we killed six million of each other). We'll make it through whatever comes next. I might have to bring my family over and sleep on your couch, though. Hope you won't mind. :-) - Robert Scoble
That's a small part of the current problem, Robert, for sure. But my goal with this piece is to move beyond this singular symptom (the financial crisis) and address the root of the disease. - Anthony Citrano
First Twitter, then the economy. Damn you, Robert. ;-) - Chris Baskind
The root of the problem is that we are human. - Alex Scoble
This is why I think we need to create a "couch for Scoble" room ;) - Les Zaldor
@Robert: Sure, come by! Not that I have much in my apartment and the 12 year old IKEA couch isn't too comfy. - AJ Kohn
@Anthony: Well written BTW. I feel like this is an opportunity to change the way Americans have been living - to stop living beyond our means and start living sensibly. And perhaps this creates an atmosphere where we speak up - loudly and boldly - when we see something going off the tracks instead of sitting back. - AJ Kohn
@AJ - thank you. That is exactly what I am hoping for. - Anthony Citrano
@Gregory I had a feeling you might like this post. :) - Anthony Citrano
Well thought out and written commentary. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
Robert, you get over your hoarding impulse by spending on things that lower your expenses over time. There is no shortage of those: Fresher produce (ie. locally grown), energy-efficient appliances, more durable clothing, etc. For your specific example (a shower), look into water-efficient shower heads. - Michael R. Bernstein
Those are all optional expenses. Won't be happening anytime soon, sorry. - Robert Scoble
Oil should start its well awaited decline towards $50 range - imran
Keep dancing around it guys; but, do know that we're dancing at the edge of a cliff. - Anthony Citrano
Anthony: I thought your ideas are good, but we're not ready for that yet. It's amazing to me that so many on Twitter and here (er, around the world) are just encouraging the total burning of our economy. So, I figure, we need to go through a year of burning. Burn, baby, burn. Hoard, baby, hoard. Then we can have a real conversation about what to do now and how to build a new economy on top of the ruins. In the meantime, hope your house doesn't get burned down in this mess that's coming. - Robert Scoble
Consumer Credit Outstanding: http://www.federalreserve.gov/release... - AJ Kohn
Yeah, I was talking to my mechanic yesterday ... he still feels that a bailout is for "someone else." I mean, yeah, we're *all* feeling the effects of high gas prices, but the effects of the "credit crisis" ... You'll forgive me if I say that "main street" hasn't felt that yet. So (to hack up yet another political quote) main street's quite ready to say "thanks, but no thanks" to that bailout for noone ... and let the markets spin for awhile. - Joel Bennett
32 days left - imran
@Gregory: Consumer revolving debt will top 1 TRILLION by the end of the year. I simply don't think anyone truly understands the effect of offering so many so much credit. - AJ Kohn
Nice to see people finally talking about the substance. I wrote an in depth piece today on the natural selection of a market recession. We can attenuate some of the acute pain, but we can stop the cycle of disruption. We ensured the intensity of the coming chaos by trying to forestall it. Now the deadwood has to burn. There is a silver lining. http://www.chriskenton.com - Chris Kenton from twhirl
Chris - thanks. I am not terribly optimistic that my rallying cry will do much - but here's hoping. - Anthony Citrano
Robert, food and clothing aren't 'optional'. Spending more for fresher food makes you healthier and increases your productivity, and reduces your future medical expenses. Spending more on durable clothing saves money on buying replacements. - Michael R. Bernstein
Catharsis has its own merits. :) People will listen when they're affected. Compared to the conversation I saw three weeks ago even after the initial crisis started, there's now a chorus. Keep up the cries. - Chris Kenton from twhirl
The initial crisis started well over 25 years ago, but I take your point. When and if they do listen, it may be too late. - Anthony Citrano
Anthony - funny picture!! hilarious!! ha, ha!! - Susan Beebe
The underlying issue isn't hilarious, though, is it? I wonder what percentage of FFers are bothering to actually read the piece... the silence is deafening. - Anthony Citrano
Thanks Anthony, this is a strong call to arms to invest our time in campaigns, issues and nonprofits. Have any favorites that you personally choose to invest your time in? - Jason Wehmhoener
Thanks, Jason. The ones important to me I keep on display on my "agitate" page: http://www.cosmictap.com/agitate... - Anthony Citrano
First Book looks interesting to me. I did a search on idealist.org for local nonprofits with a similar mission and came across http://www.bringmeabook.org/ - Jason Wehmhoener
I think a point that can be difficult to grasp is that there are other measures of a society's health beyond personal wealth. Finances are easy to express in nice simple integers, but the degree to which individual people will be able to weather the inevitable changes of our times has to do with a great many more dimensions than those determined by money alone. - Jason Wehmhoener
I was raised by teen parents who were by definition poor. However, my mother is a librarian, and I was taught that knowledge is power. She was right. I'm doing very well financially now, in spite of having dropped out of college as a freshman for financial reasons. - Jason Wehmhoener
@Robert - I missed your earlier suggestion that "we're not ready" to stand up and take personal responsibility for our future. That may be true, but if it is, it's heartbreaking - and we deserve what we get. - Anthony Citrano
Robert Scoble
Hello friendfeeders from my cell phone. - http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/roberts...
Cool, now I can call into friendfeed with my cell phone. - Robert Scoble
I used to use the service that let you record audio tweets. I miss that one... - Ontario Emperor
Just signed up for Cinch. - Ontario Emperor
Ok Robert, to play devil's advocate, how is this any different than the original Utterz which I distinctly remember you dissing at SXSW last year? Personally been a fan of audio posts for some time... - Jennifer Van Grove
Jennifer: I don't remember dissing Utterz, but it probably had something to do with the brand name. Or the fact that it was yet another service I had to use. Sometimes I am wrong, though, about new services. Might have been in this case. - Robert Scoble
Two comments (1) I don't think I'm ever going to warm up to this in-line mixed media thing. I'm always irked when reading through blog comments and mixed in among the text is a little thumbnail of a Seesmic video. I can either track down headphones, turn the speakers on, or (more likely) just skip it. Have the same reaction to this in-line cell phone stuff. (2) Bah humbug, and get off my lawn. - Ken Sheppardson
Replying to @kshep again: I totally aggree. (again) maybe it's cuz I just turned 29 tonight & I'm feeling old(er) - Chris Heath
Robert, it was probably in jest but there was definitely a moment when you put down audio posts...something like, "why would I do that, when I can do video?"...I think you were even recording video at the time. :) - Utterz name was very bad, I'll give ya that. - Jennifer Van Grove
@Chris 29??? You're a whippersnapper! - Jeremy Brooks
Awesome Scobez! I'm signing up now. DRUNK FF'ING HERE I COME!! - Internet's Tad
Robert how do you edit the title of the audio file from date and time to a text title. - Shaun Haney
Wow. Thanks Robert. I've been looking for a practical way to use BTR with what I have to work with and this looks like it's perfect. - Brandon Mendelson
I Tweeted my baby's first cries with this - I believe you did, too Robert - Jesse Stay

I'm planning to have the name changed by May 1st to something easier to say, spell and digest overall - John Wright
There's also a service called TwitHear, with which you can do a similar thing in Twitter. The advantage with this is that the flash player appears in FriendFeed automatically. - Abounding Media
