It's hard to imagine that archives aren't coming to the various streams. Right now though, especially given Twitter's search problems, it sure is gone. The old "we hardly knew ya'" line seems somewhat appropriate. I have a question for you Steve if I might. Do you think that you could have achieved what you have without blogging? Could a microblogging service or a Facebook ever provide...
more...
- Gregg Morris
I think this is wrong. Almost anything appearing in "streams" today has a permanent url, including all tweets. Searching of the archives is a different matter though. Right now Twitter does not provide search for tweets older than one month I believe. Google on the other hand, probably indexes everything. If we can index all blog posts, indexing all tweets won't be problem either.
- Meryn Stol
Everything has always been a stream. Previously there were eddies where it collected and was presented. Rocks and logs have been removed, the stream flows fast once more, and we wonder how to damn it up again.
- Todd Hoff
yeah, we could all really use a new way to swim in the reservoirs... I'll get my trunks and a tube! ; > actually - if FF with their increasingly robust search figures this out maybe that's the next big thang.
- Thom Kennon
@Gregg Blogging gave me "home field advantage" that still pays off today in the form of SEO, which is why I still do it all. So while it's easier Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook to find community, we're putting sweat equity into their platforms, not ours. But to answer your question - yes I think it could. But will we want them to?
- Steve Rubel
Steve: Suzy Welch hasn't found friendfeed. I can find the original tweets about the Chinese earthquake here, but not on Twitter and not on Google. Same for the plane crash into the Hudson. Over the next year people are going to discover a new kind of search and see why it's important to put metadata into the system. For instance, I've been putting 2010web tags onto certain objects here. That turns into a search like this one: http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Robert Scoble
@Robert, I absolutely concur and have written an entire white paper for clients about the coming emergence of Social Search. Just wait until Facebook gets good search.
- Steve Rubel
Steve: I did a panel discussion a couple of weeks ago with the head of Facebook's search. Did you listen to it?
- Robert Scoble
@Robert, no I missed that. Slip me the link would love to listen to that.
- Steve Rubel
@Robert, many thanks. We're all over this as it's going to be a big deal. The question is who will be better at letting you search your friends' content: Facebook, Twitter OR Google. I say Google.
- Steve Rubel
friendfeed. :-) But, seriously, you're right, its between Facebook and Google unless Friendfeed gets dramatically bigger quickly.
- Robert Scoble
Or, unless Google and Facebook just can't execute. If that happens friendfeed will win because as real time search gets more important people WILL discover the one that is way ahead and friendfeed is WAY ahead right now.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, can friendfeed get that big?
- Gregg Morris
Scoble, I bet Google. Reason: they will catch it all, especially as Facebook opens up.

I am not sure I agree that conversations should be archived! I mean isn't having a conversation the point of FF and Twit?
- John D Reasor
John, people put them out there so they are going to be archived.
- Gregg Morris
Robert, one more question if you have time. I can't find a way to do "local" search in FF as I can in Twitter. Is it there?
- Gregg Morris
Steve: if Google doesn't have access to the real time feed it will be at a significant disadvantage. Also, Facebook's terms of service keep third parties like Google from storing any Facebook data for more than 24 hours.
- Robert Scoble
Gregg: I don't know of a way to do a friendfeed search around location yet. Twitter's search, though, isn't granular enough. If I remember right it's based on the location I put into my profile, not where I actually posted a Tweet from. I might be wrong about that, though, but we definitely need that here on friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, thanks! You are correct about Twitter's granularity. I didn't know whether I was missing something in FF though. I have assumed from following you guys that location based search is on the horizon though.
- Gregg Morris
I know it happens I am just saying it may not the right course to take, to make sure it happens and to make sure it can be found. I really do not want to hear about this conversation ten years from now.
- John D Reasor
Gregg: you can certainly manually add some location information into the comments here and search on those. For instance, you could type "posted from Half Moon Bay, CA, USA." Now let's go search on that. So, adding location based searches could be pretty easy to add onto friendfeed. Just need the metadata to be posted here. This is why I want invisible comments.

OmniGraffle 5 works excellently for me. Are you using the Pro or Standard version?
- Clay Newton
It was a bug of rendering engine. After 3-5 hours of work shawdows of OG's and other app's windows has started to loof like, you know, _noise_. Color mess with horiz. stripes. Maybe it's a driver problem (i have macmook with intel videochip).

Quick search tip: It looks like you can use brackets () for multiple search terms, e.g. this: "-from:(elusion OR squashyfrog OR koltregaskes)" excludes any post from ALL 3 users. The alternative would have been "-from:elusion -from:squashyfrog -from:koltregaskes"
These features need to be taken from command line syntax to becoming options on the advance search dialog. Also would like the ability to name a custom search something other than its command lne formula.
- Mark Traphagen
Mark, I found it via the search page, I put in the search terms and it tidied it up with the brackets, so kinda fixes it already.
- Kol Tregaskes
So you can just enter multiple search terms and it writes the syntax? If so, that is very cool.
- Mark Traphagen
Mark, that's what it appeared to do. But like I say I need to test it further.
- Kol Tregaskes

How does this compare to Twhirl? Anyone tried it?
- Richard Barley
personally,neither do it for me. I think it depends however if you prefer the separate windows of twhirl or the single feed.
- Zee.
I like the single feed of FF, with the option to limit what I see via the lists. Though I wish I could get 2 columns...I have a 24" screen and there's so much wasted space.
- Jaemi Kehoe
We need to spread the word about this app to everyone with more than 5 social accounts out there--and need to stay connected. My Blackberry thanks ye!

Still looking for something like this for iPhone. Doesn't FF already support the other three sites shown in that pic?
- Ernie Oporto
@Ernie i'm not a huge fan of feedalizr but you can actually post to all of them
- Zee.
lots of bugs. no DM/replies view, lots of other issues
- mjc
I tried it, not bad, but until something can knock out twhirl, i think I'll stick with that. Does it have a shorten url function?
- Bryan R. Adams
I like what they're trying to do... the UI is very minimalist, very sleek, which I love. It takes up too much screen real estate though (too much padding on events, font size perhaps a bit too large) and I'd like to see Ping.fm integration so I can post everywhere at once. I'll keep an eye on it.

"The iPod drove the success of iTunes. iTunes then became a controlling force that kept you in Apple's garden. Once you go iPod, you're kind of stuck. So, iTunes grew to be the de facto place to find and buy new music. Then the iPod and iTunes spawned the iPhone. Like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, it appears the iPhone might destroy its creator. With a seemingly unlimited amount of music available either online or through an app, the future of iTunes might not be quite as rosy as it used to be. With endless sources of new music from places like Lala and Pandora, and bands coming up with new apps practically daily, music lovers have fewer and fewer reasons to visit iTunes. How long till it's obsolete?"

(6 videos, 21 photos) Excerpt: "Overall perfect conditions for our polar plunge. All the good weather in the world wouldn't change the Antarctic water temperature though, and now that we were inside the Antarctic Circle we were guaranteed of sub-freezing waters of 27 degrees Fahrenheit (-2.8 degrees Celsius). The high salt content of the water lowers its freezing point several degrees, so this truly is some of the coldest liquid water in the world. And so Captain Martin, Tim, and Rob found us a perfect spot for a little dip." Click through to see the rest!

Alan - exactly. A couple days after this we got our news report from the states (the boats parent company would fax us news excerpts - literally 100 words or less on random subjects from the US. Some of it was odd) and one of the news excerpts was about people somewhere in the U.S. doing a new years polar plunge in 38 degree water. We all laughed! ;)

There's a Discovery Channel show called Man vs Nature, where former SAS operative Bear survives being dropped for days in extreme conditions (Survivorman, which I like better does the same thing). Anyway, Bear jumped into freezing water one time and remarked that some, apparently healthy fit people, have heart attacks doing this from some reflex response or plain ole shock. Definately sounds like keeping a defib AED around is a good idea.
