Fernando Bergamaschi
It appears that Facebook does not provide a Status feed for your account. Any idea of how to resolve this? Thaks in advance.
Fernando, are you trying to add Facebook as a service in FriendFeed? - Kol Tregaskes
I am getting the same error message when I'm trying to add Facebook as a service to FF. - Glenn Trtanj
Guys, can you describe what you are doing exactly? Are you following the instructions on the FF dialog window? - Kol Tregaskes
I followed the instructions on the FF dialog window but still have the same issue. - Gaelyne Gasson
Yes. Guess we are all following FriendFeed instructions. And do not work. - Fernando Bergamaschi
Same here... - Konsumkind
Hasn't worked for me either. My Links and Your Notes do, but not the Status - Gary Rudolph
Same problem here. Anybody from FF feels like helping? - Carlo Mastrogiacomo
same here, I follow the seemingly obvious instructions by FF, but error message gives no clue what went wrong. Hard to know if facebook of friendfeed is source of problem. it might help if an example url was displayed. I get 'format not supported" for http://www.facebook.com/feeds... This is the link that google reader (as my default RSS) accepts. - Lane Rapp
Same problem for me, nothing to do for the status feed :( - alfredo
Like Gary Rudolph, My Links and Your Notes supposedly work, but not the Status for me. - Angela Granfield
There are some clues that I've been collecting - search on facebookstatusbroken to see my latest comment with a collection of them. Some accounts can use the methods posted, but others cannot. YMMV. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Add me to the broken list. - Christopher J. Bottaro
added to the broken list. Please someone help! - JorgeR
It isn't just FriendFeed, as I've been having trouble with Alert Thingy, too. I fear that Facebook has gone and broken itself somehow. - Miss Elle
Finally worked after following these instructions http://friendfeed.com/about... to set custom Privacy settings for "Status and Links" and check "Allow friends to subscribe to my status" (confusing thing was that even before changing this settings, I was able to find the "My Links" URL ok) - Mike Chelen
i still have the problem. even though i checked my privacy setting in facebook... - Amin
me too - Tom Roberts
Same problem - Xargon Wan
I gave up on this a while ago. - Bill Kinney
Broke as well for me. - Ben Prince
same shit here - Archangel
same problem - İlker OĞUZ
How is possible there's not a simple solution to this problem? What a sadness :( - Marco Caporicci
Same here. I believe status feed url is just broke/changed after FB renewed their design to realtime. - Jacque from fftogo
same problem :S - REDKAYA
I find it difficult to grasp why this is such a long standing issue, without a definitive statement on how to fix it, or why it won't be fixed anytime soon. (since mine works, I know this must be possible to fix) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
This is crazy I have been looking for answers to this question for like 2 hours now and can't find any solution that works. - Sean Pisano
Blame Facebook, they just won't let anything outside it's service. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
it works for me. i even added people as imaginary friends that dont have friendfeed - Edgar Rodríguez
doesn't work for me as well :( - Jörg Wißemann
Something tells me this is going to change soon ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
FF didn't accept FB's status feed when I joined, which was before FB took over. But I agree: I suspect that'll change... - Dennis Jernberg
Count me in. Really stupid. - Asterios Toutios
I thought after the acquisition it would work but it still doesn't work for me. - Frederick Bvalani
It's ironic that Facebook puts up such "barriers" yet lets so many crappy broken and ANNOYING apps seemingly run rampant! Just sayin... - Mark "DerBingle" J
minmax: that is because the walled system depends on the judgment of a small group for approval, whereas a more open system enables a larger pool of users to rate and comment resulting in a higher quality of evaluation - Mike Chelen from IM
same here - cannot add FB Status - but privacy settings are same as directions specify, I thin: http://screencast.com/t... - Jason Buberel
count me in - it's broken. Let me know if anyone figures this out please .. - Philip von der Borch
does not word for me as well :(((( - Roberto Cattaneo
same same - Michael Lubinski
Ditto. Privacy settings adjusted accordingly. - Lindsay Crudele
same problem - Zalesthebard
same me - Amir GT
Also having same issue. Freindfeed suggests using the freindfeed app for facebook, but that does not seem to work. The freindfeed app sends my post to freindfeed, but not to facebook status or twitter. As a side note, I have had no problems using www.posterous.com to update all services. One email and its done. I still would like to figure out how to link friendfeed facebook and twitter through freindfeed. - David Imielski
having same issues with ff updating fb status, won't work... but posterous works everytime... - Douglas Sandquist
Same here - Alexandros Georgiadis
Following the FriendFeed instructions, I got Links and Notes to work but I get "It appears that Facebook does not provide a Status feed for your account." I don't see anything denying my status under Privacy or News Feed under the new facebook, but I'm at a loss. Why is facebook not publishing my status feed? Any ideas or solutions under the "new facebook"? - Ken & Kiyomi
Mine not working too! Damn! - Akshay Vishnu B.J
Has anyone figured this out? - Karen Gutierrez
same problem! - Rachy
same problem! +1 anyone knows how to fix it? - Sentome11
Wow. This is a ridiculously long-running problem. - nickrw
i have same problem here :( - Onurhan ÖZER
Same here :( - Altech Netstar Traffic
This sucks... same here. - Icarus Holmes
don't know whether it will help or not, but I have the same issue in my account :/ notes & links are fine, but for the status, this message appears in the settings :/ - Serdar Dalgic
No solution yet? I'm experiencing the same problem right now when trying to recreate my Facebook service here. It used to work before without any problem about the status. - Rodrigo
Everyone might be getting this same error already or very soon. Facebook updated their security and APIs again yesterday, prompting them to review their Privacy Settings when they log in. - Ken & Kiyomi from iPod
Yes, I did that... and my status updates should be public. - Rodrigo from email
Still no resolution :( - riscy
same problem. It sucks! - Kemal Çifci
I hate this.. neither can i add my linkedin profile.. weird!!! - John David Marte
Golly, this is a couple months old - John David Marte
but... still no solution! - Zalesthebard

Cancer crusader Stefanie Spielman dies at 42 | The Columbus Dispatch
Cancer crusader Stefanie Spielman dies at 42 | The Columbus Dispatch
"Stefanie Spielman has died after fighting cancer publicly and relentlessly for more than a decade. The breast-cancer advocate and wife of former football star Chris Spielman died at 6:15 p.m. this evening at her Upper Arlington home in the wake of her fifth bout with the disease. The mother of four was 42. Considering it her life mission to raise money and awareness for the disease, Spielman in 1998 established the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. "I know there's a reason God gave me breast cancer, and I'm supposed to do something with it," she said that year. As she shared her story throughout central Ohio, her fund raised more than $6.5 million for breast-cancer research, education and patient assistance at Ohio State University's Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. The charity's fundraisers include Stefanie's Champions, an annual luncheon honoring six caregivers of Columbus-area cancer patients, as well as numerous other community events." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
"With his wife facing chemotherapy and a mastectomy, Chris wanted to skip his upcoming professional season with the Buffalo Bills but debated how to explain his absence to the public. Stefanie saw the situation as an opportunity to serve her community. "Tell them I have breast cancer," she recalled telling her husband. "It may make one guy go home and say: 'Honey, my favorite football... more... - RAPatton

"So, following the final Bloom County strip in 1989, you brought back Opus (and Bill the Cat!) back, not once but twice – first in Outland, and then again with Opus.  What is it about these characters that kept you coming back?  Was it for you, or for the fans, or some combination of the two? Berkeley: Ever try to lose a girlfriend that you knew was bad for you or keeping you from other things or costing you way too much but the sex was too good to let go?  Of course you have.  Exactly like that." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
"Travis: Um, let’s pretend I didn’t. Soooo, moving on… the film version of Mars Needs Moms! is in post-production there as well (starring Joan Cusack and fellow Long Beach Comic Con guest, Seth Green). This is a motion capture film, correct? How much have you been involved in the film, and what are your thoughts on the motion capture technology versus traditional animation? Berkeley: I will be happy to discuss this at the convention!" - RAPatton
"Travis: Okay, that’s a nice segue – speaking of your books, I had heard that your Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big was being adapted into a short film by Disney. A nd then I never heard anything about that again? Was the film made, and if so, why have we not seen it released commercially?

Oz’s temple in the Tibetan mountains is no longer a safe retreat for Buffy and her troops. Discovered by Twilight’s magical agent, Amy, and bereft of their own magic, the army is preparing for a human war with guns, grenades, missiles . . . and MANPADS -- it’s not a laughing matter. People are about to die. But even without her own magic, Buffy is still a Slayer --the Slayer -- and she has to lead the way to victory. Or at least . . . live to fight another day. - RAPatton

Can someone explain to me on Feedly, how would I know there are new news stories in a particular category of mine? On Google Reader there are numbers on the left that show how many new posts there are...where is that on Feedly (without having to click on anything)?

Usually at the top next to the category name is the number of unread articles.... - Roberto Bonini
do you know how to set that? - Zee.
feedly only shows you a category is there are unread articles in that category. You can use drag and drop to order categories. Also if you have more than 7 categories and want to be able to see all of them, if you widen the window > 1060px, you will get a new layout with the category navigation on the left. - Edwin Khodabakchian

oh but btw, backtype connect doesn't work with P2 just yet...a fix should be here this weekend though - Zee.
more like a friendfeed than twitter though automattic is calling it twitter like but P2 is a great combination of blog, twitter and friendfeed - testbeta
for sure @testbeta . I'm not sure if you've read the post, but i've added a fair bit to the P2 theme to make things work "slicker" and be more social - Zee.

I'm proud to say that I'm a pretty good Facebooker (if that's something worth getting proud about). I don't do quizzes and I make sure my status updates are worth reading. Damn, I'm considerate ;-) - Brad Williamson
Agree with the article. I used to spend a lot of time at Facebook, discovering and reconnecting with old friends. Then I found out I had little in common with those people I went to high school with. It takes more than a common background to maintain a relationship - Andre P. Siregar
@Andre But hey... if that's the case then how do you explain your attraction to FriendFeed's social dynamic? - Brad Williamson
@Andre: that kind of means that there wasn't a friendship to begin with. Blaming Facebook is like blaming the cafe where you ran into someone you met 20 years ago and it didn't click. - Vincent van Wylick
I personally don't hold bad Facebook behaviour against anyone, as long as Facebook allows me to block their idiotic messages. - Vincent van Wylick
@Brad I use Facebook differently than Friendfeed. At Friendfeed I just follow people who talks about the things I like. So straight away I connect to people with the same interests - Andre P. Siregar
@Vincent Well, what is friendship in internet terms, really. Somebody wants to 'friend' you based on the fact that you were in the same Calculus class x years ago, and you accepted. Facebook is useful to me for that. But I only 'friend' people I know IRL in Facebook and apparently people I know IRL don't share the same interests with me (I know, sad), so I don't hang out much in Facebook. - Andre P. Siregar

Alex: has just stopped working for me too! Everything is fine with the application ie it shows up on the tab but does not publish into the news feed... interesting... - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Peter and Alex: Have you tried this: http://www.facebook.com/authori... - Benjamin Golub
@Benjamin: Thanks for the tip - it always used to be set and I've double checked via your link and it still is. How long should things take to show up? - Alex Lomas
Thanks Ben this was not set on my side about to check, thanks for the help! - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
hey its working for me now!!! rock on. pic and all! - (jeff)isageek
Hm. The pics I just posted to FF never showed up in FB. Anyone know if this should be working? - Keith Bourgoin from IM
Alex: according to our logs http://friendfeed.com/alexlom... has already been posted to your Facebook profile. Facebook responded with a successful publish. - Benjamin Golub
@Benjamin - Wow, thanks for looking into that. Still not showing up on my wall, so I guess it must be something else :( - Alex Lomas
@Benjamin - Woohoo! They've appeared! But the stories were way down the bottom of the wall amongst posts from early this morning so I didn't initially see them. Maybe something to do with time zones (I'm in the UK)? - Alex Lomas
Ben: that solved it for me too! Pics also showing! Thanks for the help! 1 quick question for you :) when do you think we will be able to add the FF app to Facebook Public Profiles because that would be awesome! - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Cool. Thanks for the tip. - Mitchell Tsai

Google Wave Preview Opens to the Public on September 30th – The Next Web - http://thenextweb.com/2009...
Google Wave Preview Opens to the Public on September 30th – The Next Web
"The Google Wave preview has officially been scheduled to open up to the public on September 30th according Wave API Tech Lead Douwe Osinga. Leading up to opening up of the Google Wave preview, Osinga has outlined specific areas of improvement and new features in the official Google Wave group..." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
What is OpenSocial? - Kol Tregaskes
Cant wait to use this, but none of my friends are geeky enough to want to experience it with me. :( - Cassidy
I'm sure we'll all hook up on Wave. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Yay! - Tyson Key
That's a month and a half I'll have to wait... - Dennis Jernberg
That none of my freinds are geeky enough to test this with me will be my biggest problem too. :( Very sad that most of my friends are not really in to computers. - JoeD
We'll test it with you from the 30th, Joe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, I don't know if we'll hook up (Mona said it was not her idea of a social network, so I'm curious to check that), but yes, we'll certainly test it. :) - Brome
From looking at Wave briefly the other day I can easily see it being a social network but, of course, this needs someone to code such a version with the protocol. I've been wishing FF would use the protocol when it was ready, or at least have a Wave version of it's service. - Kol Tregaskes
In fact I think I'll watch the 2hr demo again today... :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Would really be nice, Kol. I hope i will get my girlfriend and my brother into chatting with wave. Maybe some freinds from studying. But their biggest expierence with socialweb is "www.wer-kennt-wen.de", a really simple facebook derivate. -.- - JoeD
I've seen the demo recently. It is better than I thougt. Now i really can't wait to get an invitation. :) - JoeD

Thanks everyone! - Kol Tregaskes
Now I'm glad I got my vanity URL for FB. However I'm not about to go crazy friending y'all just yet as I hate the interface. - Kenton

Just added you Kol :) - Simon Wicks
OK, you've all convinced me and as Simon requested, please note FF in the request. http://facebook.com/kenton - Kenton
Thanks, Simon. I've not started going through these yet. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
I'm only going to add the people i actually talk to on here. I have a lot less people on my follow list than you, so its a bit easier for me :) - Simon Wicks
Remember, guys. According to FB, you're only allowed 5000 friends. Spend them wisely. - James Myatt

www.facebook.com/drodzand you won't see much since I got the privacy settings on max in Facebook. Just another reason why I think Facebook is completely different from friendfeed. I hope they keep friendfeed running because I use both services in diametrically diverse ways. - David Rodriguez

Svartling
I think the most important view in the new Google Reader (next after "All Items" :) ) is the Comment View" It's there all things happens! http://www.google.com/reader...
Here is the comment view: http://www.google.com/reader... - Svartling
You only see and can comment on those you are subscribed too. You also need to add all to groups so they can comment and like your stuff. - Svartling
I already had the feeling after trying several sites that Greader was the best FF replacement, after trying these new features I am now convinced it is. And it is not going away anytime soon. - M F
Exactly how I thinks too. That's why we need to inform all users to start using it correctly. What is your feed. I would like to subscribe you? - Svartling
I also feel that Google Reader might be the next Friendfeed. Not yet but with all the new features added, very curious what the future of Reader will be! Following you both now on Reader. - Nik
I've just added everyone I follow to my 'Friends' group. I didn't realise I had to do that, most were not in a group. Thanks, Svartling. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
I added everyone i follow to a custom group Friendfeeders. But somehow Reader keeps removing everyone from that group and i have to reassign. Am i missing something? - Nik
Nik: You must have that group in you Contacts in Gmail too. Otherwhise it won't work I think. - Svartling
Kol I will add all from your thread somewhere when I got the time :) - Svartling
It is in my Gmail Contacts, that's where i created the group. - Nik
Then it should work. You must click finish after you add all new contacts to a group in google reader. Maybe you didn't? - Svartling
I want to click finish but i see no finish. Anyway, i added the Unnamed Contacts that appear in Google Contacts to the group as well. Now it works. - Nik
Sorry I mean "Done" - Svartling
Svartling, OK. There are a lot of peps there. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
I think it will get better quickly - M F
Me too, but we desperately need permalinks for our notes, comments and such. Otherwise Google Reader is a closed system just like FaceBook... - Svartling
GReader is a right pain. It's refusing to save the last batch of people I've added to a shared group. :-( This is the third time I'll be going through my list. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
They are added, but there is a bug updating the page. If you reload the page you see they are added. At least for me. - Svartling
No, tried that. - Kol Tregaskes
Do you have an adblocker enabled? Try to disable it and try again. - Svartling
anyone know the best support channel, I got feedback for the reader team - Dobromir Hadzhiev
I can now comment on your items Kol, so I am in a group now :) - Svartling
OK and Google Contacts tells me you are all there. Very odd. - Kol Tregaskes
And you are still not in the group in GReader, ah well must be working. - Kol Tregaskes
Yes, there is some bugs with this system, that's for sure. Lets hope Google will change this to something better. - Svartling
They must be still working on it. I just started getting a preview link for new followers which is new. - Eric Logan
I've seen the preview link for some weeks now. I don't think its new. But "People you follow" updates automatically without reloading the page, that's new for today. - Svartling

Its a Wisconsin number - Joe Hall
Heh. That's why you shouldn't put a postbox where a searchbox usually goes. ;) - Chris Messina
totally, call - acedanger
It's not a phone number (or at least it's not a phone number to me). Please don't call. - Paul Buchheit
The actual amount of the fb deal? - Jim Norris
Whose number is it? - Liza
well, mayb a revised deal of the friendfeed buyout by facebook - Gtp19
I am curious - Liza
My bad its not a Wisconsin number, infact its not a phone number at all the 420 aea code doesn't exist anymore - Joe Hall
Joe, you called it - Liza
sure is a hefty number - Gtp19
Since I had the first comment (stays visible), I edited it to tell people not to call. - Bruce Lewis
Paul's password to his bank account :-) - Shakeel Mahate
$4,207,869,677 - Chris Messina
Number of friendfeed users - Shakeel Mahate
Total number of entries in ff database - Shakeel Mahate
When I copy/ paste that number into Garageband, it plays Revolution Number 9 - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
$42,078,696.77 -- how about that? - Jim Is Not Smart
Morton, did not know wolframalpha was still around. - Liza
I doubt it's money, that's not Paul's style (and surely wouldn't be legal). It'll be fun to watch this comment threat. I'm crap with number games. - Carter Rabasa
Another puzzle from Paul, this is why friendfeed is fun. - ashish
A social security number? - Akiva Moskovitz
Social security number has 9 digit limit. - ashish
Guys, it's not a hard puzzle. I got it. - Bruce Lewis
well, it may not be a $ number... but if it were...! - Jim Is Not Smart
Don't overthink it and you'll get it. - Bruce Lewis
Er, actually it does take a certain amount of geekiness to get it, but it's the kind of geekiness you'd expect. - Bruce Lewis
I think I got it! Addition? - Liza
gah! Bruce, you're killin' me here! - Jim Is Not Smart
Liza, is Paul mainly known as a math geek, or some other kind of geek? - Bruce Lewis
lol, paul shud be having some fun reading the comments - Gtp19
I have to go take care of some things now, but I know other people will get it. It's cute. - Bruce Lewis

So if we get it we're not supposed to tell? - Vlad Bobleanta
Well, it doesn't validate as any government issued ID#... :P - Tanath
The new facebook moto. The number of people you want to connect to deliver on the promise of connecting the planet. - Edwin Khodabakchian
I'm guessing it's something FriendFeed database-related - Eric Florenzano
what is the # of FF users? - I mean posts/entries/items :-) - Chris Heath
FriendFeed is the first social network to reach 4 billion users ;) - Paul Buchheit
Congratulations Paul .... thats a wonderful achievment :) - Bhowmik Shah
Only 4 billion? C'mon... I'm disappointed. Deleting my account now. :D - Vlad Bobleanta
YIKES - anna sauce
Yet only 1K or so "addicts" via Scoble's thread - anna sauce
Vlad, the other 1/3 of the world don't have access to a computer. - Jimminy Fuller
That shouldn't stop them from having an account. Nothing should. - Vlad Bobleanta
Wow Paul. That is amazing. - Yolanda
Yolanda: He was being sarcastic :) - Eric Florenzano
Is he?? How much does facebook have 2billion? - Sherif Mansour
Sherif, ~300 million - Jimminy Fuller
sorry, forgot to add *eyeroll* - Yolanda
The number of FriendFeed posts since inception. - LogEx
Nobody has even a billion. Think about it, there are around 6.5 billion people in the world. - Eric Florenzano
Jimminy, in that case there is no way FF has 4 billion?! - Sherif Mansour
Bruce, come on and spill the beans! - Will-Pastor of FF
It's hard to verify any of our hypotheses since FriendFeed uses nonsequential identifiers for everything. Can't really deconstruct the uuid to see what number it is. - Eric Florenzano
i feel like an idiot. - Call me Bronco
i'm sure it's not money related. - Call me Bronco
420 - 786 - ??? - imran
paul, didn't you do this a month or two ago? and it was the number of database entries for items/entries? - Chris Heath
Non-programmers do not need to feel like idiots here. Programmers do. :-) - Bruce Lewis
grrr! I'm not a programmer and I still feel like an idiot. It's some sort of code. Each number means something else. - Jim Is Not Smart
It's not 2^^32 - LogEx
Ah, got it. That's cheeky, Paul. - Carter Rabasa

So, what's the lesson after facebook buys friendfeed? http://jimsmarketingblog.com/2009...
Paul Buchheit
Obviously I can't provide a lot of detailed plans and guarantees, but I can tell you that I'll do my personal best to ensure that the FriendFeed users and community are treated right. I love this product too, and don't want to see it disappear.
That's great to read! - Diego Barros 
Thank you, Paul. - joey
Good of you to recognize. - Bill Kinney
Thank you, Paul. Hearing something is always better than hearing nothing =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I think this was a smart move fore FF and FB - Joe Hall
What about the service? - Amit Morson
That's a start. Thanks for reaching out. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Thanks Paul. - sean percival
Thanks Paul - Mike Doeff
We don't want it to go either. - Yolanda
I would not expect any less from such a cool guy like you, thanks! :) - Susan Beebe from iPhone
Please keep it going for as long as you can or until you can make Facebook actually work. - AJ Kohn
That's heartening, Paul. Thanks. - Admiral Anika
We love you guys and FriendFeed.. we are just a little hurt and worried.. just please give us details as soon as possible. - Tim Hoeck
Thanks Paul! - Darren Heydon
FriendFeed lets me use people as filters to turn data into information. Facebook doesn't. Until it does, please, Please, PLEASE keep FriendFeed as a destination alive. - AJ Kohn
congrats guys! facebook needs what you got! - Lorna Herf
I'm sorry that I haven't said more about this. As you can imagine, it has been an extraordinarily busy day (and I've barely slept in the past week). - Paul Buchheit
I'll add my plea to the chorus: Please don't take FriendFeed away from us. And don't make us go to Facebook (because we won't). FriendFeed means a lot to a lot of people and the thought that it will dry up and blow away shortly is very disturbing. - Fa La La La Lindsay
It's still great to hear from you Paul. Congrats on that new swimming pool full of cash. :D - Chrimmus Tad
Simply glad you're here now. You've always been a very responsive and transparent team. As much as I cringe at the thought of FF going away, I *am* happy for you and the team. - AJ Kohn
Thanks Paul. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Thank you kind sir. - Andrew Smith
I request you make it to the next scheduled FFundercats podcast to talk to the community. This announcement deserves a live appearance to the community. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Have been dealing unsucessfully with Twitter for two days, trying to get logged in...Their password reset page says"Snap we can't find you." I keep writing to Tech Support at Twitter and get their helpful auto-generated Twitter Trouble shooting email. My problem is not there. =( Hope FriendFeed does not get that blaise about helping users. @EV - SashaKane
If FB can't keep the service running, would you consider open-sourcing the thing, so we can? - Christopher Galtenberg from iPhone
Hi Paul, thanks for the assurances. In the future, I would highly suggest that you make this sort of statement shortly after the initial merger release. Thanks again. - Alex Scoble
Thanks for keeping the passion! - Shane
Nice to hear Paul. Thanks. - Mark Krynsky
I would like to give you a hug right now Paul. However, that would be awkward and April might beat me up so I will just say thank you and press the like button. - EricaJoy
Best news I have heard today. - Angus Burton
Thank you for affirming that. Much appreciated. - Karoli
A few more points that would be nice to have addressed soon. Ability to export data, tool to import friends to Facebook, and will ff.im urls continue to function? - Mark Krynsky
Amelioration?? - heretic_twit
Those that like friendfeed as is should be most pleased with this statement, as it probably means maintenance to keep the current system as is, without as much attention to new features. It's also good news for all those who like both friendfeed and facebook, as facebook will likely adopt the better features from friendfeed - Ivan Kirigin
That means an awful lot to me. - James (!?)
This has been quite a day! Can't wait to hear what is next! - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Thank you, Paul. Thank you for coming out from behind the curtain and finally giving us some communication, some semblance of hope. - Akiva Moskovitz
Thanks, Paul. - Mistletoe Glen
So we can expect a Facebook adaption of this? I like this technology over everyone else! - Shaggy Jenkins
Eric, my schedule is still a little uncertain at the moment, but I'd be glad to appear on a future FFundercats. - Paul Buchheit
That would be a good thing Paul. Thanks. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Cool :) - Susan Beebe from iPhone
I like this. - ashish from iPhone
Thanks for making FriendFeed what it is, and lets hope it stays that way, though there's slim chance of that - Aaman (Clone of FF)
Now that I think about it: are you kidding me? They've already stated that FriendFeed's going to be absorbed into Facebook. What kind of sleight-of-hand are you trying to pull now, Paul? - Akiva Moskovitz
@EricaJoy: I have nothing against hugs. :) - April Buchheit
Thanks! - Vincenzo Piromalli
Thanks, Paul. I've been getting more and more depressed thinking about the bad ways this could go. The reassurances help a bit, at least. In fact, just hearing you speak on the point is encouraging - the open lines of communication between the FriendFeed team and its users has always been one of the great things about FriendFeed that I'm afraid will be lost with the Facebook buyout. And yes, a FFundercats appearance would be a great idea. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I don't want to read too much into this reassurance but the "personal best" remark made me think like there is not a united FF anymore and that it's up to your personal efforts to prevent it from being eaten by FB :) - Turker Keskinpala
you can sell the tech but the community can not be bought sold transferred or merged - Robert Higgins from f2p
Turker, I do believe that this deal was the right decision -- I'll write a bit more about that when I get a chance. I say that I'll do my "personal best" because I will -- it would be misleading to make promises on other's behalf :) - Paul Buchheit
Hoping so... practicing patience - Majento
Paul: I'm hopeful that this will be the best for both Facebook and Friendfeed. What you and the staff at FF have done is amazing, with only 12 people! I love the service here. I also enjoy Facebook (one I ignore all quizzes and stupid apps), but in a different way. Hoping some coolness can be brought to both. Good luck to you and your team! - Travis B. Hartwell
this echoes star wars galaxies, incredible unique community. but they upgraded it to be like world of warcraft. this is a replay of the devs soothing messages. the forums were livid the community evaporated. - Robert Higgins from f2p
When socialmedian was acquired by Xing they left it alone. I hope the same happens here. I'm sure you will do your best though! - Michael Fidler
On behalf of the Dutch citizens our Queen wants to let you know: Thx Paul. - Ton Zijp
Don't know what to say, so lets start with big congrats! from one hand, as an early member of Friendfeed I think we've created here a very cool, collaborative and tech-savvy/passionate community of great people that all probably wish to stick around as much as possible. From the other hand, I know how corporates work and it takes one small decision of share holders to close Friendfeed... more... - Nir Ben Yona
My first reaction is disappointment. I don't believe big corporations do better than small ones. Facebook is inferior to FriendFeed, although it's user base is much larger. Clearly FriendFeed won't survive in the long term, unless it is open sourced. Why not open up and embrace the wonders of the GPL instead of joining forces with the Walled Garden no #1? Facebook don't even operate with permalinks,. - Morten Blaabjerg
Thanks for the explanation Paul. Of course, I congratulate you guys. I think anyone would do the same thing if they were in your shoes :) - Turker Keskinpala
Very bittersweet clicking [Like] on this one. - Nicholas Kreidberg
A big congrats for you guys.. However, I feel kind of sorrow :) - Ozkan Altuner
good to hear - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Thank you - but I would very much like our content to stay intact. :) - Mona Nomura
Of course it is, Ryo. - Christopher A Carr
Ryo: if you delete your account everything goes away. I totally disagree with you about Facebook, but that's OK. - Robert Scoble
Good to hear. Unfortunately I think Facebook are going to download the brains of all FriendFeed staff then kill FF. - Michael McGimpsey
but Paul it is going to disappear - Facebook bought FF not for the site but for you guys. So obviously once its integrated into Facebook, development on FF will stop - Anthony Feint
If FriendFeed and all of it's functionality get integrated into Facebook I'm all for it. - Hugh Isaacs II
Thank you Paul! Congrats on the deal! - Garin Kilpatrick
Paul - that's great news. It surely can't cost a lot to keep this place running and it's a good place to try out ideas before they move to FB. - Martin Bryant
what about improving the product and making sure it gets more users, not only supports those who stay? - Ihar Mahaniok
Ihar - unlikely. Facebook bought FF for the developer talent, not for FriendFeed itself. - Martin Bryant from iPhone
Martin - I also think so, and it is most likely. But I could still have a hope - Ihar Mahaniok
Paul, please - underpromise & overdeliver...they say it works. - A.T.
Nice to hear. Too bad you don't call the shots anymore. - jcunwired
FriendFeed is Dead! Long Live FriendFeed! (nice name for Facebook skunkworks) I'm sure everyone would love to see FriendFeed itself stay around, even if the innovations that happen are geared towards implementation at Facebook. Thanks for this note Paul! :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
There are a few promises and guarantees that you SHOULD be able to provide. Like, that our network of friends will remain intact and that the features that make this site great will remain. If you can't make those promises, then you shouldn't have done the deal. I sure do hope that the real-time search engine wasn't the centerpiece of this deal (it probably was), because that certainly... more... - Brad Williamson
Paul you did such a nice job with friendfeed, and I so want to believe you, but I'm not sure I can. Not because of you, but because of your new employer. Because your new employer is no longer you, and while I have kind of come to trust you, I do not trust your new boss. Not at all. Please prove me wrong, if they'll let you. - Jim Is Not Smart
Paul - thanks for that reassurance. PLEASE stick to that! I was in the middle of reading and participating in a lengthy discussion off of a Robert Scoble post yesterday ... then I came up for air and saw your news. Congratulations - I have no idea what that feels like or how pumped you must be. There are so many things FF does that I LOVE...I know you know that. Please Please PLease dont' go away! Thanks! - Tobin Truog
Thank you, I think everyone here loves Friendfeed. :) - Hunt from BuddyFeed
Thanks for the personal note Paul. - Mike Reynolds
Phewww..relief ;-) - Ritu
This is nice to hear, and I really hope that FriendFeed will keep on living. I still have some pain in my stomach because of this :/ - Patrik Johansson
First zombie/mafia request and we're all outta here.... - Fossil Huntress
+1 Fossil Huntress The partitioning of the networks between friendfeed and facebook was a major feature that many people made use of, lacking appropriate controls for who sees what. Merging the two groups of friends isn't going to work, at all. - Mr. Gunn
It doesn't sound like you understand what has people worried. I wrote this to help: http://friendfeed.com/brlewis... - Bruce Lewis
And we'll appreciate this man! Try to do your best to help FF :( - FFTornado
Maybe Bruce analysis is too imaginary, but the question is THE question nobody answered: why did you do it, Paul? - Luca Sofri
I left a response on Bruce's entry (http://friendfeed.com/brlewis...). I'll write more about this on my blog when I get some free time. - Paul Buchheit
Thanks. - Bonnie Foster
we all know what needs to happen. the question is, where? ... FB needs, - apart from being/it is, a large, general, open application platform, - 1. Smart keyboard shortkatze - and Im a kbsCzar to go to, 2. Aggregating facilities, smart /RSS/ .. 3. Full blogging facilities, capabilities, not 140 chars. 4. Full real time comments facilities, capabilities. 5. Real time, live, but ALSO... more... - Petr Buben
I hope you're being open and honest with us. This time. :( - Kamilah Gill
Good to know , we´ll see :) - Yahya
Thank you! I am sure you will do great things at FB. I just hope that the great app you built here isn't destroyed. I don't know of any other aggregation app that I can embed into my site like this one! - beersage
Congratulations on your successes, best wishes for more. And thanks for continuing to look out for us loyal, addicted FFanatics! - Rob Schieber
I hope it continues, i'm a new user and absolutely love it (wish i knew the value of it before)! Congrats! - Luis D. Santos
As nice as it sounds I'm sorry to say that as a, now, Facebook's employee I'm afraid you'll have to comply to whatever your new boss tells you. Didn't MZ make it clear? - lelapin
and let me add second, obvious, "Facebook needs" - Friendfeed bookmarklet, and Friendfeed tools - widgets, embedding - real time and not - of posts, and groups ...to embedd, to inject oneself into this thing called Internet ..... so, if FB listens to FF engineering long enough, they are going to get it .. right - Petr Buben
Paul, what I am worried is not that you're brainwashed, but that there's simply no business need for Facebook to improve FriendFeed from now on, period. - Ihar Mahaniok
I have confidence Paul. While some of the comments were probably uncalled for, covering an investment (of time and money) in these times to move on and hopefully provide even 'better stuff' makes sense to me. It's pretty obvious there are a LOT of people that don't want to 'lose' Friendfeed. (I wouldn't hold a town hall for a few weeks though :) - Charlie Anzman
Congrats, Paul. It's sad that people have to make these uncalled for hatred comments about Facebook though. Why can't both sites work together. I think Facebook will do better with FF and vise versa. Take the good features of both services. Don't boycott FB, enjoy it. I'm sick of the negative comments going on, that's all. :( - Molly, "sorry"
Molly: What makes you think there's going to be a "vise versa?" - Christopher A Carr
Because I don't think Paul and the other FF developers would allow FB to do anything. I'm sorry, I am not going to think negative here like some here are. I guess I'm a fangirl for FB. - Molly, "sorry"
Finally something about the changes on the horizon that isn't all d0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0om and whining. Thank you, Paul! :D - Christian (Simply X)
The time to think about how you could do your 'personal best' to ensure FriendFeed continues to exist was prior to the discussions with Facebook. Not after. - Andy C
Paul, what about the content scam that FB T&C is, does it apply to Friendfeed now? Should we all start writing scripts to retroactively delete all content ever uploaded to Friendfeed? Elaborated a bit here - http://friendfeed.com/mbravo... - Michael Bravo
We know you'll try your best, Paul. But sometimes, you just can't win the dark side... - Winston Teo
Thanks Paul for all your efforts. Founders often want the best, but acquiring companies often have people with political/power issues or different/limited visions. - Mitchell Tsai
*throws a sheep at Paul* is that a good thing? - Joe from iPod
Yeahhhhhhh BOoooiiiiiiiii!!!!!!! - sofarsoShawn
yes, thank you, Sergeant Paul ... well, good to hear we go on ... because if not, how about starting www.anotherFeed.com ... or, www.Letsgofeed.com ...... anyway, lets boost blogging capabilities, post more than current amount of chars, lets have TOP POSTS / clicks count list at the head of each group, some stats, lets index group headers, lets have MORE keyboard shortcuts .. - now ...... more... - Petr Buben

Jason_Pollock: Why Streamy Could be the Next FriendFeed - http://ff.im/6sN7U rt @Zee - http://twitter.com/Jason_P...
Seems like quite a bunch are checking Streamy out? Keep getting internal server error - Patrik Arwengrim
Well it's certainly a nice shade of pale blue. I think my next Lifestream site will be self-hosted though under my control. This episode has taught me an important lesson. Trust no-one. - Andy C
It would need to make quite a few changes before it can be used in a way anything like how people use FF. - Christopher A Carr
I don't want the next Friendfeed, I want *this* Friendfeed. #bitchlips - Derrick
Just tried signing up and got "500- Internal Server Error". Too many of us jumping on the bandwagon? - Narain Jashanmal
Looks like Streamy is gonna need a bigger boat... - Tech Introvert
Is this the tenth "X could be the next Friendfeed" on here today ? :p - Mark
hrm... their sign up doesn't have a "confirm password" box... typo lockout city for a few people then! - alphaxion
alphaxion: 1Password FTW! - Joshua
@joshua and those of us who practice better security by keeping up multiple logons for different services? - alphaxion
the 500 is gone again, at least temporarily - Patrik Arwengrim
Nope... it's back for me! - | Balu |
Streamy errors plus Twitter authentication not responding. Is there a big movement going on since @rww pointed his finger at the next place to go? How short the way from rise to fall. - Uwe Lucas
Looks promising, it seems (like several other "options" proposed today) to have the potential to capture FF users attention should the time of change arise, yet is still unrefined to do a quick jump... let the competition begin. - Marco ILLESCAS
Why another friendfeed? So people can join, get comfortable with it, and then be thrown into chaos when it sells out to another company? - Tomy Thomson
Is there a really a need for this? I don't have a viable alternative, blogging yes, but the built in community isn't there - perhaps services like Hacker News, or Tinythread, still the same issue. I agree with Tommy. Let the dust settle too. - Benjamin Taylor

Friendfeed Should Become Facebook Labs
I like this idea. I posted some of my thoughts on your site. - Mark Krynsky
Smart idea. Go wild implementing stuff here, figure out which works in practice and integrate the good ones to Facebook. Doubt that will happen, but let's hope so. - Chieze Okoye
