I can't help but think of "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" here.

No, but only because we don't have enough power points in the bedroom, and no aerial point at all. - Mellissa

Jabba? - Sam Harrelson

Really? - ashish

Butt? - Jeff P. Henderson from iPhone

Honestly I think it sucks! - Jeff P. Henderson from iPhone

I'm confused. It looks like the Hut is wearing a web-2.0 style fedora. - Ginger Makela Riker

odd branding decision. why drop the pizza out of the name? - Bill Kinney

@ginger, the hut's hat is more or less the same as the one from the previous logo: http://walkba.alsa.org/images... - Dan Hsiao

Is this for their entire brand now? I heard it was just for an upscale version of Pizza Hut they were testing. - Mark Trapp

They're promoting their pastas more, and probably want to extend the food offerings further. They've offered pastas and desserts and such in Asia for a few years now. Seemed to work out well there. (Not to say that I like the change... I think I'll continue calling it Pizza Hut) - Dan Hsiao

I shall continue calling it "Pizza the Hut" :) - Paul Buchheit

This was from a pizza box from a plain 'ole Pizza Hut (er, "The Hut") that I wouldn't consider upscale, except for the fact that it's across the street from a ginormous Whole Foods. - Dan Hsiao

Ah, okay. I found a story from last month (URL: http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/topstoc...) that says they're rebranding the boxes and "some" signage, but not everything. Yum has never been good at rebranding (they also own Kentucky Fried Chicken/KFC/Kentucky Grilled Chicken or whatever they call it this week). - Mark Trapp

Too bad they dropped "Pizza" from it; Pizza the Hut would've been awesome. Maybe they didn't want to get sued by Mel Brooks. - Brian Chang

Mark, that makes sense. A nickname of sorts... - Bill Kinney

I like Papa Johns better. - Dallas Cao

Zachary's is the best. Get in your car and drive. :) - Cristo

I LOVE Zachary's, but it's a bit too far. Patxi's is a reasonable drive, but still not all that convenient. - Dan Hsiao

Patxi's is the poor (or lazy) man's Zachary's. It's okay, but there's always a little romance missing. - Cristo

Agreed. It's not quite as good, but it's a helluva lot closer for me. Are there any good non-chain thin crust pizza places around the bay area? The only place I've been that is remotely comparable to good NY pizza is Pizza Antica in Santana Row. - Dan Hsiao

Delfino Pizza is pretty good. They just opened in PacHeights. - Cristo

+ - Will Higgins™

that's all kinds of crazy - still can't get over syfy - BEX

Same disgusting taste. Papa John's FTW - LANjackal

It's not a name change but "additional branding" for some markets. Pizza Hut is still Pizza Hut http://www.facebook.com/PizzaHu... - Rajiv Doshi

Hopefully slave girls in gold bikinis cannot be far behind, along with Rancor battles for evening entertainment. - Kevin Fox

When I went to KFC a few weeks ago they insisted on calling themselves 'Kentucky Grilled Chicken' but they still use the KFC initials. Perhaps it's now Kentucky Fgrilled Chicken, with a silent F? - Kevin Fox

I am waiting on the first person to fall off the roof trying to paint Jabba on the Logo.. - Tony C from fftogo

This isn't nearly as bad as, say, Tropicana's failed re-branding, but I still don't like it. - G. Sigh

Grotesque. - Aaron deMello

+1 Sam for Jabba comment. - Mike Reynolds

+1 Mark. Yum! sucks at rebranding. I saw this logo over the weekend and thought it was a mistake. What. The. FRUIT! were they thinking?!? - Bill Sodeman

They changed it awhile ago. And I noticed they released a new iPhone app - Johnny

Bill: I think they would drop the Pizza from Pizza Hut to communicate that the Hut is not just pizza anymore. Probably aligned with product diversification - Johnny

hmm, that's interesting. Not against it, since they have been diversifying for the past couple years at least. EDIT: read comments. Oh, it's just a nickname/partial change. I'm a fan of it for that. Pizza the Hut would have been pretty humorous, though, lol. - Chieze Okoye

Ha, yeah. I think the partial change makes it even more confusing. - Johnny

looks more like a hat... - John Wang

I shall continue not eating there - andy brudtkuhl

it looks like a fedora. I would eat there but their store coverage is pitful. - Rudolf Olah

The first thing I thought of was Jabba, Jabba the hut, so much for new branding. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

eat with us twice a week and become our name? kind of stupid move by them, assuming this story is true....i, like many of you, first thought of Jabba....not good. - Morgan Haley

Well Dan, have you seen most of the folks eating there? jabba is not to far from the truth :D - Tony C from fftogo

I've always called it 'Pizza Slut' which sounds better than 'The Hut' - Morgan Haley

"Hut" means "hat" in German. Good luck in Germany if that's really the new name... with "pizza" at least you can guess it's not a clothing store. - Philipp Lenssen

Haha, I always said that if they stopped serving pizza, they'd be called "Hut", and now it's finally happened. I don't know if I should laugh or cry. - Tyson Key

Seriously? Yikes. - edythe from iPhone

@Morgan: That's what my niece's friends called her when she worked there. - April Russo (app103)

Ah, stupidity abounds. Yeah, still not buying their pizza. - Jennifer Dittrich

I don't understand this random rebranding thing... - Vince DeGeorge

+1 Vince - Tyson Key

The placement of "the" is just aweful - Shawn Hickman

@Shawn - it is actually one of the few things I like. In my head, I add "Pizza" to "the Hut," and it reminds me of Spaceballs. - Jennifer Dittrich

hey! our family has been calling Pizza Hut "the hut" for years! i think i need to see a royalty check here! - MikeAmundsen

I vote that they change it to "Piazsta Hut" just to satisfy both those that wanted it to be called "Pizza Hut", and those that wanted it to be called "Pasta Hut" in their poll. ;) - Tyson Key

They should think about serving Italian food there. It's all the rage. - John Hardy

Jennifer: If it reminds you of SpaceBalls then it can't be wrong:) - Shawn Hickman

It has a very "fat" sort of feeling. I feel like I'm putting on pounds just looking at it. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

Tyson, one could argue that they never *started* serving pizza. That said, the image above the logo-type looks like a fedora. Pizza Hat? - Kevin Pedraja

Heh, I see what you mean now about it looking like a hat. - Tyson Key

And it's a sassy red hat, too. - Bill Sodeman

First thing I thought was - "The Hut stole Carmen Sandiego's hat!" - Paul OFlaherty

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.... 's hat! - Bill Sodeman

Mitchell Tsai, Peter Efland, Steve Chou and 111 other people liked this

Yes, with filters, friends, likes and stuff - Charbax

173 more comments

yes, I think that is what it is. - Cat West

No, can't read full text for blog-length items. - Bruce Lewis

Yes. I'd have to say it is a feed aggregator...it pulls in feeds from Google Reader, Twitter, Disqus, Flickr, Delicious, Digg, etc. - Kenneth

But why can't we just import our OPML or sinle RSS feeds somewhere into FriendFeed without having to dump those feeds one by one in groups, that doesn't make sense - Charbax

no. can't simply mark items as read, subscription is not a simple one click operation - James Beake

It is pretty remarkable that after all this time FF still can't import/export subscription lists. - Dave Winer

FriendFeed should somehow automatically group feed items so I don't get bombarded by 100 people all retweeting, liking and commenting the same things.. It should basically create a techmeme of feed items on-the-fly - Charbax

yes - Amber, Random Time Lord

Wow delete much Dave? - Bill Heslin

in a non-rss kind of way it's a feed breeder -- aggregates feeds and conversation and distributes back out also - Adrian Chan

No, because it doesn't read feeds, it just posts headlines. - Louis Gray

No, I need full-text feeds. Headlines don't count. - Alex Scrivener

yes - Wayne Sutton

it is a feed reader and a lot more. its ability to function as a feed reader is probly one of its weakest functions. (so far) one of its strongest functions is to start discussions which are so damn easy and efficient that i can see ppl giving up on blogging and sticking to friendfeed. - Freddie Benjamin

yes. it has a summary of the posts it aggregates. err yeah - Alfredo

No, FriendFeed is not a feed reader - Bill

I prefer Google Reader, because it's easier to privately star stuff in GReader than it is to reshare stuff to a private FriendFeed room. Plus you can mark items as read. I actually view http://friendfeed.com/lastfmf... via Google Reader rather than FriendFeed. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

Nope. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Can I read feeds in FriendFeed - yes. Does that mean it is a feed reader - no. The question is to fraught with subjectivity in the end. But if you forced me to say what it is - it's a data aggregator and transformation platform. - AJ Kohn

Sure, like a search engine is a feed reader. - Daniel Dulitz

Nope - no way. - Julie

Imaginary Friend makes it so - Bryan R. Adams

Yes, for some types of feeds. I.e. anything not requiring much in the way of item payloads. - Kevin Johnson

FriendFeed is def a feed reader. I prefer it to Google Reader. - Shawn Hickman

FF is Live Feed Reader - Nitin Nanivadekar

It is not now ... but getting dangerously closer ... - Amani

FF is a social network, a chat apparatus, a communication device, AND a feed reader. - Helen Sventitsky

it is for me now. Pushed all my twitter news, rss news to a select room i created. Allows me to see real time info - Fake Elmo

I read feeds on friendfeed - BEX

yes - sean percival

no - Matthew

It depends. FriendFeed is whatever you make of it. If you import RSS feeds, then FriendFeed will be an aspect of a feed reader. - imabonehead

FriendFeed and Twitter - the best tech space. - Igor Poltavskiy

Nope, but it's a Social Feed Reader. You read items sourced and recommended (= posted) by your friends. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Yes - Justin Yost

s/is/can be used as/ -- Yes. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Since you can only read headlines and not full posts, I wouldn't call FF an RSS reader just yet. - Chris Rossini from BuddyFeed

I would call Friend Feed and twitter "feed discovery engines" and "content discussion facilitators" rather than feed readers. I still use Google Reader -- too much in depth content and other things that I can't really get from FF. - Travis B. Hartwell

Yes in some sense - Håkan Dahlström

indeed - americanm

Isn't FriendFeed a feed aggregator? - Chris Heath

It is, if you actually read the feeds. - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

yep! - Jay

Just as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are turtles. - Parth Awasthi

Yes, it is. But that's just the beginning. - Mark Evans

No, I would say FF is a feed streamer, not reader. (and a mediocre aggregator) - William Mougayar

So if it's an aggregator of feeds, how is it a feed reader? Just to be clear, my answer to Dave's question is: No, ff is not a feed reader. - Chris Heath

Social Feed Aggregation* - Chris Heath

* see site for details, some restrictions apply - Chris Heath

+1 for no because it doesn't grab content, only headlines. - Brett Kelly

thoughts' reader:) - Igor Poltavskiy

Out of roughly 50 responses: 53% YES, FF is a feed reader, 31% NO, 16% didn't exactly answer the question. - Mark Evans

I've been debating whether Twitter is replacing Google Reader and/or Techmeme. Friendfeed definitely could be one too. - Mario Sundar

Not a feed reader for text posts (blogs). Feed reader for everything else. - Mohamed J

better one than twitter, but NO - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Better than twitter but it's not a full replacement, either - Michael Fidler

Yes. Once FriendFeed decides to turn on something like what Twitter just destroyed (replies) it would be even better - Antonio Altamirano

A feedreader, no! There is no way anyone can read multiple blogs and communicate at the same time in the real-time realm - Joe Dawson

Similar aspects I suppose but RSS is just available, whereas FriendFeed is something like SRSS - Syndicated RSS. Or maybe CRSS - consolidated RSS. - Rick Cogley

No - Chris Nixon from BuddyFeed

No. - Damond Nollan

I used to subscribe to my friends RSS feeds using Google Reader, but quit when FF came about because they were so hard to keep up with and not everything had an RSS feed. I guess that makes it a feed reader, so yes. - Jesse Hattabaugh

Yep, but not as good as Google Reader... yet. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

No. FriendFeed is for Friends. Feeds are not friends. Though, I would love to use FriendFeed for feeds also - if only it was easy to separate people I follow and blogs (non-personalized) I read. - Ihar Mahaniok

No it's not... you cannot read full posts there. - Bhavesh

No. Friendfeed was not intentended to be feed reader. Although I use this room as my second feed reader http://friendfeed.com/mix-room - arjo

No. You have to leave the site to read. It would be nice if Google Reader live updated like FF or the option to view the full post in FF existed. - Peter Warnock

No, it lacks some of the key features needed in a feed reader but has other features that make it a different thing altogether - M F

No, you have to leave FriendFeed to see the article. - Mike Roberts

No, it's a social network. I talk to people on FriendFeed, I don't read blogs. - Larry Hudson

No. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

No. - dkb

The answer is either: no, not at all. Or yes, but it is a very limited one that is very unlimited in terms of others' voices. - C. K. Sample III

To a point it is. - Adam Martin

It's a real-time chat room. - William Mougayar

FF is not your father's feed reader. It is a new gen user sweatshop producing metadata for its own search engine and maybe track equivalent. - Mindaugas Dagys

Yes. - Vincent Wright

It certainly depends on how you use readers. FriendFeed isn't going to do everything I use Google Reader for. That being said, FriendFeed would probably work better for many of feeds I actually subscribe to. - Camden

a more customizable feed reader - feed reader to a lifestream - Elizabeth Koh

yepper! - Susan Beebe

it was - Alessandro Lanni

Yes, *but* (and this is a big one), it does not provide enough facility to serve as a non-realtime reader. I cannot pick up where I left off on a feed or know what I read or didn't read. It lacks the controls to be effective in that space which, I think, is a critical feature of a feed reader. - Kevin Kuphal

no - Marcel Janus from twhirl

Read feeds on Friendfeed Don't make Friendfeed a feed reader. - CantorJF

no, I can't track what I've read and what I haven't. - You.

I think its more of a meta-feed reader in a microscale. It picks up on the feeds of others, who in turn are reading the news rss feeds, thus meta. It's also on a microscale because, as mentioned before it's not real time, it's only the headlines with no descriptions and it still connects to the echo chamber as opposed to outside world. - Shane Tilton

Well, compare this http://ff.im/2RXFH to this http://is.gd/zO1f . The question should be, how good is FreindFeed as a Feed Reader? It's bringing more value to the use of RSS feeds; more than just presenting them, regardless of each item being full post or just headline. - zeroinfluencer

Dave, Could FriendFeed be a good email client? - zeroinfluencer

FriendFeed is a task list. Yes or no? - You.

FF is my magazine for browsing. I'm not catching up on FF posts like I do in Google Reader. I check the front page of FF, drop some comments, and then move on while it stays open in another tab. - Joel Zehring

No, but that doesn't make it inferior. It's a wholly different animal. - Daniel Miessler

(Of 94): Y:16 | N:27 | (?):51 - answers on this thread so far (based on this script: http://wittman.org/project... ) - Micah Wittman

Not necessarily. If all my RSS subscriptions were in Friendfeed, it would move way too fast. RSS is something I can still take at my own pace. Which is why I don't think it's dead, like some people would say. - Robert de Castro from twhirl

Nope, not for me. - Adnan

It's an improved feed reader. - Diego Espinoza V.

No way. Nothing beats a good google reader/postrank/feedly combo. Oh, unless google's servers are not responding like today, in which case friendfeed might be a nice backup. - Mike Elliott

I'd say no, because it's the conversations that seem to have more draw / weight than the content (like a slashdot). It's a fuzzy line though, I could easily see the argument for. - mikepk

No. - Ken Sheppardson

Both. Depends on the user. - David Damore

I tried to use it as FeedReader, but without being able to view full posts, it just didn't work. - James Ostheimer

No. It's way better! - David Cook from fftogo

I'm torn on how to answer this. I've been back and forth with Google Reader and FF. If there was a simple way to import all my GR feeds into FF and de-dup it would help some. Sometimes all I want to do is quickly scan what's new and GR is fast, in fact rather amazingly so on the iPhone. But just reading feeds can be like empty calories. Having real discussions on selected topic has... more... - Tom Parish

Yes. - Steve Rubel

Technically, yes. But it doesn't serve the same function as a dedicated feed reader. - John Federico

I don't really get the "FriendFeed is a feed reader" logic. Is TechMeme a feed reader? I mean, I can't actually *READ* feeds in FriendFeed, I just get links to articles. - Ken Sheppardson

what friendfeed does best is create an environment for people to connect and have conversations. It is more a networking tool than a reading tool. Sometimes you want to go to a bar an network and sometimes you want to go to a library and read. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Ken, yeah you can only read the headlines (or maybe the first sentence or two if the feed is set up to do a first comment type thing here) but past that... you're not reading the story/article/blogpost in friendfeed - you might discuss it within friendfeed (which is awesome, btw) but once again - NO - friendfeed is not a feed reader - Chris Heath

No. It is a social feed aggregator with filters. It's limited in that you can read feeds of existing FriendFeed users, groups, or external feeds by creating "Imaginary Friends". However, Imaginary Friends is a rather cumbersome way to add external feeds. No facility exists for easily adding a list of feeds such as by importing an OPML file. - Derek Mahar

in part yes. - Thomas Hawk

An interactive feed reader, yes - Murat Gök

No - I can't read the articles right on FriendFeed. It also doesn't require RSS to publish. - Jesse Stay

No - to read the blogs and articles I still need Google Reader. - Antoine Bertier

No, because -- in addition to what William Mougayar said -- there's no tagging of articles (just liking). - Kawika Holbrook

No. Feeds are the internet data, tv, radio, cd/dvd/comic book collections and plumbing in the house. But people living in the house is the lead story. - Micah Wittman

I can't answer yes or no : it is a social feed agregator - Stanislas Jourdan

a feed reader, yes, and much more. I use it more and more - Nadine Pestourie

No, because beyond choosing who I follow, I have no choice in what the rest of you put in it. I propose that FriendFeed is a "social media service." - David Chartier from BuddyFeed

No, I still use Google Reader to stay up-to date...to much noise on FriendFeed even with filters. - Rajiv Doshi

It's interesting to see everyone who says it's not a feed reader. It most definitely is. You can subscribe to RSS feeds here. So it is defacto a feed reader. Now, is it a good one? Not if you want more than headlines. If you want full text Google Reader or other readers are much better. - Robert Scoble

@Robert you got a point here. Does this mean it "might" be our future feed reader with a bit of improvement? - giuseppe c. | markgreene

I think Google Reader is moving more toward a FriendFeed model with all of the Share and Comment features they have been adding, but they are fundamentally different because there is no post feature with any RSS reader. - Brandon Hall

As i said elsewhere, Google Reader is my favorite feed reader because i can mark things as read/unread, so i don't miss anything. FF will never get this feature because the goal in FF is to go back to items you liked or commented. On Greader, once you've read it, you don't go back. As a consequence, Greader will remain my favorite feed reader. - Stanislas Jourdan

giuseppe: I haven't used Google Reader much since I've gotten addicted to friendfeed. I always seem to get the most important news here first and when I go to Google Reader it is all old to me. I used to be Google Reader's top user, so this change in my behavior is interesting to me. - Robert Scoble

Sure it is--though I don't is as such - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

With Google Reader shortcuts, i can skip very quickly between many items so I can scan much more information efficiently. However, on Greader you've to make a high selection of good feeds you really want to read fequently. Otherwise, it becomes evil! - Stanislas Jourdan

absolutely! - Sinem Co

Yes, but it's a "newspaper" style feed reader, as opposed to an "inbox" style reader. - Tristan Seligmann

NO - Kristian Salonen

No. - Brandon Mendelson

totally disagree with Tristan - Stanislas Jourdan

Yes - Arda Çetin

For me, yes. At least in part. I recently created a News group and added a few news feeds to it (techmeme etc). I then switched on desktop notifications for this group so I effectively now have a real time feed reader / news ticker. - Jamie

Jamie, I don't think it is worth. With this system you don't enjoy the FF community (i guess nobody "like" your entries or comment them so that you don't see what's important). Moreover you don't have benefit from Greader shortcuts and read/unread status. - Stanislas Jourdan

No, friendfeed is not just a feedreader, feedly do a better job for feeds reading. - David Foucher

BTW in my opinion, the interest of FF is that people select the items they share so that you get the best in your feeds - Stanislas Jourdan

Pretty much yes.though thats not its primart function. - Abhishek

yes, it's true and http://friendfeed.com/technol... doing that things ;-) - Sakib Mahmud

FriendFeed is also a feed that goes to my google reader :-) - David Foucher

O_o ?! - Stanislas Jourdan

Yes, but only one facet of many. It's a poor feed reader if you plan on reading everything. It's a good one if you plan on only reading what is deemed popular by those you follow. - xero

Stanislas - I think you misinterpreted me. I don't add the news feeds to my profile - I subscribe to them as they are already on FF. So for high volume RSS feeds like TechMeme, TechCrunch and so on I just view them as real time notifications. I don't need them piling up as unread items in Google Reader, which I use solely for low volume, high quality feeds where I need to see every item (daring fireball, carnage4life, codinghorror etc) - Jamie

Jamie : Ok I understand. In fact you made a friendlist for News feed more than a News "room" (?) - Stanislas Jourdan

UPDATE: (Of 145): Y:27 | N:43 | (?):75 - answers on this thread so far (based on this script: http://wittman.org/project... ) - Micah Wittman

Definitely Yes. - stark

No, it doesn't show full feeds...only titles. - Alex Scoble

Yes. - Bill Romanos

Clearly there's a whole lot of variation in what people actually expect from a "feed reader". Seems like some people think it means "anything that uses RSS/Atom to generate a list of web pages" - Ken Sheppardson

yes - Danilo Paissan

and now I really want that there would be a feature to "unsubscribe from comments"... I am getting every phrase in my gtalk :) - Ihar Mahaniok

Hence the inclusion of the word "feed". :) - Kelly McAlearney

Yes, a Feed reader of «Friends'» Feeds -- make it «Fellows'» or «Follows'» -- with steroids (conversations). - Jorge Martins Rosa

Ff technically reads feeds but that is not where their value - aggregation -is. It is a discovery platform powered by RSS and API-based clients can potentially fill the perceived expectation gap with current feed readers. - Alberto Saavedra from Nambu

Yes, but with added value, in that we can discuss aggregated content on the fly, including photos, video, music, etc., not just blogs and text posts. - Cathryn Hrudicka

Not yet. It will get there. News outside tech is still scarce on FF - Francine Hardaway from BuddyFeed

No, and yes - Christian Burns

........what if it was?? Leave Friendfeed a-l-o-n-e !!! please !! .. leave it alone , Dave ! .. please : ==== http://gog.is/chris+crocker - Petr Buben

Ihar - the notifications section of your settings lets you choose which friend lists go to IM, email, and the desktop client... in lieu of frienfeed allowing us to unsub from each thread you can use the friend lists to section off the stuff you do and don't want going to your IM client - Chris Heath

FriendFeed functions like a feed reader in that it gets (most of) its content from other sources. I don't believe it stores copies of the results (would it even be authorized to do so??) so I don't see how it could ever provide search capability. Big difference from TW which has its own content DB - David Sanger

Yes. you import feeds, I've done this many times with 'imaginery friends' - Jeremiah Owyang

FriendFeed is definitely a feed reader, since most of the content you'll find is brought in from RSS sources, such as YouTube or a personal blog. - Thomas Ward

I love questions and answers like this -- They prove my thesis that "nobody gets anything," which, of course, is an ironic way of saying, "everyone gets anything in their own way." Of course, FriendFeed is a news reader. And of course it's not. (Me, personally. I like my "readers" to have an export feature, i.e., OPML) - Rex Hammock

I like my readers to have an OPML *import* feature, too! - Derek Mahar

or even an rss import for anything other than my own feeds - Chris Nixon from IM

Chris, you can import one or more RSS feeds by creating an "Imaginary Friend" and adding those feeds. It's better than nothing, but not nearly as convenient as OPML import. - Derek Mahar

Its a bit convoluted. I'll stick with a feed reader for reading feeds. FriendFeed is about my friends feeds. - Chris Nixon from IM

It's the big-ass river of RSS. I like it. - Pete Gilbert

Chris, I agree! Friendfeed is more of social feed aggregator than a reader. Google Reader is a good reader, but unlike Friendfeed, it doesn't (yet) allow you to share a set of feeds by default. You must explicitly share each item. It also doesn't appear to make comments public. - Derek Mahar

Actually, I think I was incorrect when I stated that Google Reader comments are not public. I do see comments that others have posted to friends' shared items, so I guess comments must be public. - Derek Mahar

Yes, FriendFeed qualifies as a feed reader. - Mike Reynolds

If it is a feed reader, it sucks. There's no way to view the content of the RSS feed items. I have to click each and every story to read it. Headlines only? No thanks. I'd say no, because compared to Google Reader, Bloglines, NetNewsWire, FeedDemon, it fails as a feed reader. - Bwana ☠

I'm with Bwana (it also has no import/export subscription function). I have lobbied for an iGoogle like popup in the past so I will put in my .02 here as well. I would like it to be a good feed reader but it just doesn't cut it now. - Brian Sullivan

Yes. FriendFeed is a form of a feed reader ;) - Nicholas James

hoped so, but not yet - Peter Efland

I re-iterate my earlier No vote. A good feed reader like Google Reader or Bloglines remembers the items that you've read, but this memory is absent from Friendfeed. - Derek Mahar

Seriously though, I'd go to Europe and spend some time in Germany (beer and riesling, how could you go wrong) and on the beaches of Spain. - EricaJoy

$20k is a bit of a stretch, but we rarely splurge while traveling, so I thought the honeymoon would be a good opportunity to sample the finer things :) - Tudor Bosman

OMG. I'd be in the maldives in a split second with that budget: http://images.google.com/images... - Jenna Bilotta

Also, congrats! - Jenna Bilotta

1 week Venice then 1 week Crete - Jeff (the マクダジ of FF)

Maybe some of the top-end Spanish restaurants, like those featured on that "No Reservations" episode. I mean, that one guy has figured out how to grill caviar! - Andrew C

I'd spend $5 on a vacation and bank the rest. - Rochelle

+1 for Spain. A few of the top restaurants in the world rated by San Pellegrino are in Spain. A friend is going to el celler de can roca in a few weeks, just researching that place makes me want to go. - nadim

http://www.goturkey.com/index... - Murat Gök

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone, keep them coming :) Also considering: Caribbean (hop around Barbados / St Lucia / Curacao), Australia (Great Barrier Reef for 2 weeks, Sydney for 2 weeks), Fiji, the lifestyle of the (European) rich and famous (French Riviera: Nice, Marseilles, Monte Carlo) - Tudor Bosman

I LOVE Australia, but I don't think August is the best time to go there. How about Costa Rica? I think (but am not sure) it'd be decent in August, and for that kind of money, you could practically live like a king and queen for a while there! - Adam Lasnik

I tend to agree with the budget comments. The return on "luxury" stuff seem sub-linear to me, though maybe I'm just cheap. For example, first class tickets cost 400% more but are at most 50%-100% better. Hotels are even worse. Often, the greatest value in paying more is not worrying too much about it. For example, sometimes it's nice to travel without a plan and just show up at a random hotel and not worry about finding the "best" deal. - Paul Buchheit

So that rules out http://www.neckerisland.com - zeroinfluencer

Paul: interesting point. I'd rather spend more money on good food and traveling from place to place than on staying in the nicest hotel room that I can afford. - Tudor Bosman

Def. Europe...I'd choose Milan, Turin, and Paris. - Mona Nomura

Also, places we've been to (and we might go back, although we'd prefer to go somewhere new for the honeymoon): Paris, London, Ireland (a wonderful 9-day road trip starting from Dublin, through the south and along the west coast), Tahiti / Bora Bora, Hawaii (Kauai and the Big Island), Cabo. - Tudor Bosman

Well, do you want tropical or metropolitan? - Mona Nomura

Koh Samui or Bali - viki saigal

Mona: a bit of both would be best. Definitely 10-14 relaxing days, and then maybe something more active and engaging. We also considered the Amalfi coast of Italy, followed by Rome and Florence / Venice, but Rome in August is empty and scorching. - Tudor Bosman

Vegas. Hookers. Blow. - Morgan Haley

River Cruise on the Rhine, Bicycling in Provence, Cruising the Greek Islands, African Safari (not sure about August though), Machu Picchu trek, Climbing Kilimanjaro, Biking Southeast Asia sound good - Brian Sullivan

That's a huge amount of money. I'll start with Hotel Rosenlaui for a week: http://piaw.blogspot.com/2008.... It won't use up even 1% of the $20K budget, but it'll be the best part of the trip (and yes, I've been to the Great Barrier Reef and the French Riviera, and those don't compare to Rosenlaui). - Piaw Na

Hmmm I'm not really a beach/tropical person but I've heard the beaches in Italy and the Greek Isles are fantastic. I will ask my relatives, they go to Italy four times a year. The latter sounds amazing. I would stay away from Rome; go once for the experience but I would not recommend it. (I am more interested in food and culture than historic sight seeing) - Mona Nomura

I grew up in South East Asia --- I doubt if I'd recommend biking there for a honeymoon. Go there for a eating vacation to gain 10 pounds each. Ok, maybe 20 --- the food is that good. :) - Piaw Na

You don't want to go to Greece or Italy in August unless you love 110F weather! October will be far better for those places. Personally, the best beaches I've ever been on have been in the Virgin Islands. The Baths on Virgin Gorda are absolutely amazing. If I *had* to spend $20K on a honeymoon, I'd charter a boat in the Virgin Islands and dive/snorkel the heck out of it. Best season for that? Around April/May, or late November. - Piaw Na

My wife and I spent two weeks in Bali on our honeymoon there in December. Bali is a relaxing, clean and overall chill place with friendly people. You can combine it with Australia. Avoid the heavily populated areas though! Lemme know if you want more info. You can spend as little or as much as you like with the options available there :) - Sam Grover

Also, consider the Coast to Coast walk in England. Easily the best long walk in the world. http://piaw.blogspot.com/2006.... With $20K, you can do it in luxury over 3 weeks, and thoroughly enjoy the Lakes District (a fantastic honeymoon spot). (It cost $4K for me and Lisa to do it in 2006, but the pound is much lower now) - Piaw Na

I'm drooling at the suggestions given. We will be doing the same soon with the same budget, so please let us know what you decide! - jcunwired

I'll be happy if I can afford to go out of the state for my honeymoon. Good Lord Man! - David Cook

Hey Piaw we came very close to doing that walk this year, but I wanted to see a few more castles instead of just walking every day. - Todd Hoff

If you want maximum flexibility, you might consider: a round-the-world fare. http://www.staralliance.com/en... With 3-5 weeks, you could hit almost every continent. - Jason Chen

Todd: nothing stops you from scheduling rest days and extra "castle days" instead of following the route start to finish. In fact, that's what we did! We spent a day sailing on Ullswater (of Wordsworth fame), a day exploring Windermere, and if we had had the motivation and time we would have spent it exploring more castles as well. - Piaw Na

15k for four weeks comes down to about 535 per day (to include airfare, food, lodging, transportation, all fees, tips etc) - not motel 6, but not exactly luxury either. Piaw: no running water and shared bathrooms for a honeymoon? I think not :) While we generally book our trips very economically, the honeymoon isn't really a time to be roughing it. - Jeanette Bosman

Jeanette: they have rooms with more facilities as well. Those cost considerably more than $65 a night, but with that budget you can afford it. :-) Remember, I was traveling with my ex-intern, not my girlfriend. And trust me, when you see the 4 course meal Andreas and Christine prepare, you will not think that you're "roughing it" in any serious sense of the word. - Piaw Na

Central Europe, then down to the Adriatic (east side first; Slovenia, Croatia, etc.) then over to west side of Adriatic (Venice, Assisi, etc.) - Anthony Citrano

Honestly, I'd consider doing an around the world type of trip. You can check out the company I work for (http://www.airtreks.com) where that is our specialty. (I would actually do a trip like this and not advertising my company, my opinions do not express theirs, just throwing it out there, etc.) - Justin Korn

Italy and/or Japan. - Alix Whitmire

Another option that we're considering (which would help with all places where August is way too hot) is to take a trip nearby for a few days, then go on the "real" honeymoon starting around August 20. This would also mean we could go to the Depeche Mode concert at Shoreline on 8/12 :) - Tudor Bosman

Maldives without a doubt -> http://www.poutz.com/img... - Threepwood

Zanzibar and Seychelles. - Cristo

Botswana/South Africa - Gabe

Please come to Huang Mountain Of China，have a great and special honey moon there~ - 阿石

I was going to say Maldives, but 20k isn't enough for 5 weeks in a nice hotel in the Maldives. Try driving around in Hokkaido, Kyoto on foot and train, and then to the happiest place on earth. http://picasaweb.google.com/pengtoh... - Peng-Toh

comments on places already mentioned: high end resorts in bali are drop-dead gorgeous, honeymoon-friendly, but make sure you drink the *bottled* water. :-D paris, peut-etre, mais paris is le empty in august, non? biking in provence, yes. rent a villa with a pool and beautiful view. you will have to fend for your own meals -- somebody's going to have to get to the fresh bread every... more... - Karim

Just remember that in the Carribean, the prices are cheap because it's hurricane season at that time of year. - Admiral Anika

Anika: if we decide on the Caribbean, we'll go to islands that are south of the hurricane belt. Barbados and St. Lucia are currently topping the list. - Tudor Bosman

Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Cook Islands, French Polynesia. We did almost all of this (except for New Zealand) in 4 weeks back in 1999... if we'd had 5 weeks, New Zealand would have been the one place to add. - Paola Bonomo

Bora Bora - nothing more amazing than a hotel room with a glass table so that you can see fishes swimming - Rajiv Doshi

Monte Negro - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I think I said this before somewhere, but Tahiti (including Bora Bora) is very beautiful, very expensive, and the food mostly sucks. - Cristo

visit Bali, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand... is more than enough for that budget!!!! what a beautiful country........ - Saiful Izham Hassan

@Chris: Agreed. Though in spite of its shortcomings, I REALLY enjoyed our time in Bora Bora. If anyone else is interested, we did find great food at one place on the island called Patoti. It was just steps from our hotel, the Sofitel Marara, which I also highly recommend. - Jeanette Bosman

Italian Riviera? Cyclades? Turkish Isles? But yes, it's hot there then. The Great Barrier Reef is awesome, and the beaches around there can be very calm. - j1m

We went to the Galapagos Islands for our honeymoon, and now pretty much everywhere else I go pales in comparison. We also spent several days in Quito. We did it on the cheap end (the Galapagos cruise was about $1000 per person for 8 days). I doubt I will ever go back, but it was definitely worth it. The wildlife was really amazing. You can't really find scenarios like this one everyday: http://www.fedibblety.com/honeymo... - Robert Felty

Zee, In 'n Out is a "healthy" cook-to-order burger place popular on the west coast (and maybe other parts) of the US. It has very few choices, and has an almost cult-like following. There's one right on the other side of the freeway from Google headquarters in Mountain View. - Cristo

In N Out is the bomb, but we don't have them here and they don't fry the burgers...ergo my choice is still KFC or Popeyes. - Alex Scoble

Taco Bell. Either #1 (Burrito Supreme w/Taco Supreme, no tomatoes on the taco) or #3/5 depending on location (3 Taco Supremes, no tomato on the taco) plus a chicken Meximelt. Though the Meximelt also depends on location. In Orange County, the chicken Meximelts taste like tuna. GAG. - Admiral Anika
