Submissions for FF gang sign
 |
Lynne d Johnson, JSNFLMNG, Spidra Webster and 40 other people liked this
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
Friend: http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101...
- Rochelle
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...

- 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.

Watching die-hard FriendFeed users complain that Google Wave isn't intuitive, is too noisy, and doesn't solve a problem sorta cracks me up.
rowlikeagirl, Daniel Rowley, Kol Tregaskes and 5 other people liked this
My question is... where are these pockets of negativity? I believe the article I did was an overview which accurately praised what they had done well and suggested what it was/was not. Others were more aggressive, yet my post got lumped in. I believe I have been equally analytic for FriendFeed, highlighting the weak and strong.
- Louis Gray
FriendFeed solved a problem for me in 1) Enabling a place to aggregate my activity from around the Web and 2) Enabling me to follow other people's activity in one place. No other site does it better, period.
- Louis Gray
The other spectacular function of FriendFeed is it is a searchable archive. I can find Tweets, for example I Tweeted early last year. Nowhere else can I find them!
- Tom Raftery
I wasn't thinking of you, Louis. In fact I wasn't thinking of anyone specific*. It's more just this vague sense I get that seems to come partly from folks just not getting what they expected, whatever that might be. [*Ok... I was thinking of Scoble a little. ;-) ]
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken... I feel it's a mixture of not knowing what Google Wave fundamentally is and the baggage of other application or services... I seriously listened to someone compare Wave to Outlook...

Facebook allows you to gossip with your friends when you're in high school and college, or reconnect with them if you're out of school. Twitter allows you to broadcast your thoughts whether or not anyone wants to hear them, from wherever you happen to be, and it allows you to search for things that are happening right now. What does Wave allow you to do?
- Cristo
lol @ Sanat
- Silver Hage
Maybe Robert Scoble was a bit harsh in his critism that it was too noisy.. got that idea but I could be wrong..
- Jaap Willem
You've got to use Wave for what it was meant for: collaboration. If you don't have a project, or folks interested in something specific, you'll end up with a lot of noise and virtually no signal.
- tagami
Well, I'm not particularly excited about it, so it will probably do really well. ;)
- Cristo
I think they went the wrong way with Wave, in developing an interface at all and/or in making it public. They should have stuck to pure protocol development. Make that rock solid, make a working server, get federation going properly... then let other people build apps using it. Because I can see the backend idea being useful in a lot of ways, but everybody is going to judge it based...
