The Friendfeedization Of Facebook - http://www.techcrunch.com/2008...
The Friendfeedization Of Facebook
"As Facebook continues to roll out the full version of its new user profiles, it’s becoming clear that their primary goal isn’t, as they said in May, to simply create a cleaner user experience and allow developers to have more meaningful engagement points with users. It’s more about highlighting new content relevant to the user and fostering conversations about that content. And the result is that the Facebook home page looks an awful lot like the exponentially smaller activity stream aggregation service called Friendfeed." - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet
there is ONE thing Facebook cannot replicate from Friendfeed. Speed of execution. FriendFeed will always be better and will always be one step ahead - Ouriel Ohayon
facebook who? - Fred Grott
That would be the site with 60m monthly visitors Fred. - Jamie
Coming from the other side, I’d like to see the Facebookization of Friendfeed (without sucking that is). FF is a great place for content and discussion, but not so much for community and social networking. - Hao Chen
Facebook's largely self-contained, immersive "social" and "fun" walled garden works especially well for interpersonal relations, and the upcoming facelift improves on those same principles. I'm impressed. That said, it's too heavyweight for active group conversations. FF has far and away the most effective implementation of group discussions, especially around "the rest of the web". It's great to have both FB and FF, each optimized around their use cases. - Amir Gharaat
The only thing I'm sure of is that Facebook will be unable to recommend the same 9 persons to add as friends to everyone - so hopefully we will still be able to choose exactly who we want to talk to. - Svetlana Gladkova
Friendfeed = open; facebook = closed; this would be an area i'd be happy to see facebook copy - Alex Gawley
Facebook is boring as hell. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas, LOL... I always crack up when I see, in any FB thread your "Facebook is boring". - Juan Pablo González
Friendfeed lays it all out as a stream of posts and comments. It's like reading a newspaper. Just my style. - david
Facebook has lost its mojo really fast, I winder if the same will happen to FriendFeed - João Almeida from twhirl
@Joao lost its mojo with who? The twittersphere? Facebook was doing just fine before and after they jumped on and off the bandwagon. According to FB, UUs and engagement are up every month. - Jamie
Almeida: yeah, Facebook is growing as fast as ever and tons of "normal people" swear by it. Just because us early-adopter-inside-the-techie-bubble are over here playing on FriendFeed, don't assume that everyone else is. 110 million are on Facebook, maybe more by now. When I went to Israel all I heard was "Facebook, Facebook, Facebook." Same with my niece and lots of others here in Silicon Valley. Also, its event calendar brings tons more people than others. - Robert Scoble
Communities are communities. - Andrew Feinberg
Typical conversation with Real World Friends: "So I saw this post on Friend Feed..." "What's that?" "It's this website where it aggregates everything you do on various social networks" "Social Networks? Like..." "Flickr, Twitter, Yelp..." (Blank Stares) "Websites like Facebook are social.." "OHHH FACEBOOK.. That's the best site ever. *blah blah blah" - George Smith
Alex Gawley: Seems that Facebook no longer will be closed. "This week facebook will also launch their Facebook Connect product, which is designed to let users get that data back out of Facebook." http://www.techcrunch.com/2008... - Alex Sauceda
but do you think the average FB user is going to use the "comment on news feed" feature? a quick scan of some of my heavy-user FB friends last week showed no comments on any news feed items, and then a couple days ago i noticed someone's status message was "I hate all these comment tags on facebook now"... - Trent Olson
LOL @ Friendfeedization - Bwana ☠
I love FF but all my non geeks friends and family are on Facebook. Seems that it works better for them. - Alex Sauceda
Keep in mind, that 18 months ago you could not have had this conversation with anyone who was not 1) in the SV echo chamber or 2) in college. Web services start small and some inflect to a larger community and some don't. - Christopher Sacca
My friends on FB go to Flickr for conversation. None of them are on FF. I add FF contacts in FB to view their bios. - Russellreno
Louis - Agreed but I think the reason is more that they're trying to do an even better job with targeted ads (to keep the price in check) ... ala GMail. I find my Facebook list growing from my activity on Friendfeed. Hmm - Charlie Anzman
Was the FriendFeed mini-feed on Facebook axed: no summary, just a note showing something was added? It's doing that for Feedheads too. Is this happening with others folks? - Blake N. Cooper
Jim: Thanks! Does that mean that my friends would need to change this on their end to see more than 1 line? I have a lot of my friends who will stick to the default (i.e. will be overwhelmed by process for changing) and most likely will not see the content of my Google Reader Shared Items and FriendFeed activity. Sucks if that's the case. Thanks again. - Blake N. Cooper
Jim: This is great, thanks! - Blake N. Cooper
Jim: Is that option retaining the setting - I have it set to one line, short and full, but the new items still seem to default to one line. - Richard Peat
Funny how one year later we are actually seeing the Facebookization of Friendfeed... - Jean-Marc Liotier

I just can't find the new features in my reader. I also don't know how to get Google friends. I have one friend. One, measly little Google friend who happens to actually be my son's friend and so we don't really talk. I tried to find the button to invite friends. Can't find it. Do they have to sign up for GMail, or what? - Kimber Scott
I don't like this idea at all. Good thing I've stopped sharing articles in Google Reader last March :-) - Miguel Caetano
I think this is great, but there may be a few bugs. If you see that others have liked an article you like, you can click on those users to get an idea of what they share. If you like what they share, you can then "follow" them. However, I've "followed" a few people and they either don't show up or make other users disappear. There also seems to be some Twitter-like feature I may not... more... - Jack
I'd also like to see if this makes it way into the mobile version. I can see whether or not people liked an article, but I don't see something to let me "like" an article. They should replace the star with like. - Jack

The Eskimo Nebula from Hubble [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/3/09] - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod...
The Eskimo Nebula from Hubble [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/3/09]
In 1787, astronomer William Herschel discovered the Eskimo Nebula. From the ground, NGC 2392 resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood. In 2000, the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the Eskimo Nebula. From space, the nebula displays gas clouds so complex they are not fully understood. The Eskimo Nebula is clearly a planetary nebula, and the gas seen above composed the outer layers of a Sun-like star only 10,000 years ago. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet
The inner filaments visible above are being ejected by strong wind of particles from the central star. The outer disk contains unusual light-year long orange filaments. The Eskimo Nebula spans about 1/3 of a light year and lies in our Milky Way Galaxy, about 3,000 light years distant, toward the constellation of the Twins (Gemini). - Mitchell Tsai

M31: The Andromeda Galaxy [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/10/09]
Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is thought to look much like Andromeda. Together these two galaxies dominate the Local Group of galaxies. The diffuse light from Andromeda is caused by the hundreds of billions of stars that compose it. The several distinct stars that surround Andromeda's image are actually stars in our Galaxy that are well in front of the background object. Andromeda is frequently referred to as M31 since it is the 31st object on Messier's list of diffuse sky objects. M31 is so distant it takes about two million years for light to reach us from there. Although visible without aid, the above image of M31 is a digital mosaic of 20 frames taken with a small telescope. Much about M31 remains unknown, including how it acquired its unusual double-peaked center. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

Whirlpool Galaxy Deep Field [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/26/09]
Follow the handle of the Big Dipper away from the dipper's bowl, until you get to the handle's last bright star. Then, just slide your telescope a little south and west and you might find this stunning pair of interacting galaxies, the 51st entry in Charles Messier's famous catalog. Perhaps the original spiral nebula, the large galaxy with well defined spiral structure is also cataloged as NGC 5194. Its spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy (left), NGC 5195. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet
The pair are about 31 million light-years distant and officially lie within the angular boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici. Though M51 looks faint and fuzzy to the human eye, the above long-exposure, deep-field image taken last month shows much of the faint complexity that actually surrounds the smaller galaxy. - Mitchell Tsai

Moon Rays Over Thurso Castle [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/18/09]
What's happening over that castle? While waiting for the Moon to rise last month in Thurso, Scotland, amateur astrophotographer Stewart Watt took a three minute exposure of the background stars. The above image was the surprising result. Patchy clouds in front of the rising moon created crepuscular rays streaming across the night sky in spectacular fashion. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet
In the foreground is a stone tower from Thurso Castle, a 12th century fortress augmented in the 17th century. Above the crepuscular moon rays are stars, many from the constellation of the Lion (Leo). Visible to the right of the tower is the planet Saturn. - Mitchell Tsai

A Circumhorizontal Arc Over Ohio - clouds of different colors [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/12/09] - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod...
A Circumhorizontal Arc Over Ohio - clouds of different colors [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/12/09]
Why would clouds appear to be different colors? The reason here is that ice crystals in distant cirrus clouds are acting like little floating prisms. Sometimes known as a fire rainbow for its flame-like appearance, a circumhorizon arc lies parallel to the horizon. For a circumhorizontal arc to be visible, the Sun must be at least 58 degrees high in a sky where cirrus clouds are present. Furthermore, the numerous, flat, hexagonal ice-crystals that compose the cirrus cloud must be aligned horizontally to properly refract sunlight in a collectively similar manner. Therefore, circumhorizontal arcs are quite unusual to see. This circumhorizon display was photographed through a polarized lens above Dublin, Ohio last week. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

Messier 106 [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/29/09] - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod...
Messier 106 [APOD: Astronomy Picture of the Day - 5/29/09]
Close to the Great Bear (Ursa Major) and surrounded by the stars of the Hunting Dogs (Canes Venatici), this celestial wonder was discovered in 1781 by the metric French astronomer Pierre Mechain. Later, it was added to the catalog of his friend and colleague Charles Messier as M106. Modern deep telescopic views reveal it to be an island universe -- a spiral galaxy around 30 thousand light-years across located only about 21 million light-years beyond the stars of the Milky Way. Along with a bright central core, this colorful composite image highlights youthful blue star clusters and reddish stellar nurseries tracing the galaxy's spiral arms. It also shows remarkable reddish jets of glowing hydrogen gas. In addition to small companion galaxy NGC 4248 near the picture's right edge, background galaxies can be found scattered throughout the frame. M106 (aka NGC 4258) is a nearby example of the Seyfert class of active galaxies, seen across the spectrum from radio to x-rays. Active galaxies are believed to be powered by matter falling into a massive central black hole. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

Looking at turning my design mockup into a userstyle. No promises yet. Can ya'll give me a little bit of feedback on this design, regarding font size, colors too light? etc - https://friendfeed.com/eclipse...

You just can't quit me, can you? - B. Hatin
I love things being simple and easy to read with nothing too jumbled or close together. This one is clear and nicely spaced out, pastel colours make it that bit easier to read whats what in the boxes but I guess sometimes bold colours can help to differentiate between posts. That's just personal preference though :p - Charlotte M
No Kaia I can't . . . will you promise to take me up the mountain? @Charley I was going with their color scheme for the most part and went pastel so it wouldn't compete for attention with the posts. Some of my monitors are too bright and have a high resolution so it's easy for me to lose a sense of size and lightness - Lindsey is Fierce!
TBH I'm surprised FriendFeed haven't bought this off you Lindsey. - Martin Bryant
I do like it, the pastel colours for me make it easier to read. There's nothing I hate more than bright flashy colours bouncing back at me! - Charlotte M
Thanks Martin but I tend to be a little "abrupt" when I talk about design. I'm sure I didn't win any friends with my less than diplomatic ranting. - Lindsey is Fierce!
Yes please, Lindsey!! :-D All I'd say is sound how to incorporate AJ's commenting and search term colouring? I'm not sure how best to do that with the blue boxed entry area though. What do you think? - Kol Tregaskes
Mock up looks great to me. No changes needed from my point of view. - CAJ, somewhere else
I dig the service icons in the mockup. Are there any already available userscripts that adds service icons like that? - Erik Gulliksen
Go with it - I like. - Andy Bold
Huge win. I don't think any changes are needed either. Colors, font, spacing, service icons, better real-time controls, a most sensible sidebar -- FF should hire you to design for them. - Criz
Working on it now Andy but I did make some changes. Went with a left column version and there are some other differences so far due to the html code. @Erik I'm using this to add service icons back http://userscripts.org/scripts... @Kol I'm just going to code it as is for now to get it up and running. After that I'll look at AJ's highlighting and see if there's a good way to incorporate it. ;) - Lindsey is Fierce!
Lindsey, yep fair enough. The commenting highlighting is a huge thing for me personally as it makes reading comments 100 times easier than FF's standard. Thanks, I can't wait to see this. :-D - Kol Tregaskes
I disagree with the placement of the service icons. I think they need to be next to the initial post and the avatar. With the three elements close together I get the Who, What, and Where without moving my eyes. It seems odd to place the very thing that gives the post context so far away that it is almost out of context itself. Otherwise I think the mock up is a great start. I especially like the treatment of the post box at the top. Much more intuitive than the current one. - Kevin D. White
Well Kevin . . . . you may get your wish. I'm having problems getting the positioning in the upper right corner which may mean I need to make a sacrifice. I do like them in the upper right for easy scanning and picking out posts to pay attention to but I can also see your point. Your comment has great timing ;) - Lindsey is Fierce!
Customizing the site should be a feature within FF itself. - Capn' One Eye - adrift
Capn, yep it's coming. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
...yes, please do @L.I.Fierce! it's fabulous design work! but what good is it as a JPG mockup? - .LAG liked that
maybe the icons could be under the user images? - Doğaç Yavuz
I'm currently using AJ Batac's "Cleaner FriendFeed" stylesheet (which I adore!!), and one thing I really like about it is how he visually calls out your own comments, and those of your FF friends with color. I like how your design chunks a whole thread into a blue box, but it would be cool if there was some way, inside that box, to visually differentiate the comments of friends, and friends-of-friends, etc. - .LAG liked that
I actually like this mock up. I DEMAND THIS. OBAMA APPROVES! - €€€€€€€€
Hrm...Where is AJ on this? I'd think his input would be valuable :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Lindsey, great design. I would love to see this as a userscript. - Beau Liening
Thanks Beau. I've been working on it and there are still a few small things left to do on it. I had to stop working on it last week because I had a logo job that had to get done :) - Lindsey is Fierce!
Superb - though the navigation on the right needs more work. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
