This just in: Mark Sanchez and the Jets are for real ...maybe - .LAG liked that

Steve Slaton owners are starting to get nervous. His team scores 34, but he can't sniff the endzone. - Carter Rabasa

@Carter ...good point: Slaton was very productive in the red zone last year. I think the Texans still are figuring out what kind of offense they have... - .LAG liked that

Big Ben for the score! - Steve

49er defense is bendig but not breaking! - .LAG liked that

Terrell Owens gets his first TD catch as a Buffalo Bill... - .LAG liked that

Interesting stat (unverified): Since 1990, 65% of teams that started 2-0 made the playoffs... 49ers are on the verge of going 2-0, and more importantly, with two wins in their own division - .LAG liked that

Jeff Reed...you are killing me. - Steve

49ers defense just knocked Matt Hasselbeck out of the game, possibly even out of the season. - Dennis Jernberg

...yeah, but a fork in Seattle: without Hasselbeck, they're done. - .LAG liked that

Nice, solid win by the Bears over the Super Bowl Champ Steelers! nice! - .LAG liked that

Jints! TD on an INT off Tony Romo!!!! - .LAG liked that

What? Dangit! Glad I'm not watching right now. My remote and TV might be broken right now. - Give 'Em DBizness

...and now a fumble recovery. come on Jints! Bury the Cowboys in their home opener! - .LAG liked that

Cowboys are playing nervous - .LAG liked that

...damn, one of those strange plays for me: Witten scores (good for my fantasy team) but his TD ties the Giants (bad for my favorite NFL team)... - .LAG liked that

One of those YES! Oh no! moments. - Give 'Em DBizness

DB... you know exactly what I'm talking about! - .LAG liked that

Jeff Feagles, 43-year-old NFL punter, with the "coffin corner" kick, pins the Cowboys inside their 5-yard line. nice! - .LAG liked that

...the Giants scored a TD on that play, but replay rules that they get possession. - .LAG liked that

TD Giants!!!! - .LAG liked that

Wow. That was just crazy. - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

He should have taken the ball back and given it to the defensive player. Good playing all around - Matt Hilton

@Matt ...yeah, I know, the Giants' DB really scored the TD a few plays before... - .LAG liked that

20-17 at halftime. typical Jints/Cowboys game. - .LAG liked that

I'm changing channels until I'm sure I won't have to hear anyone else use the word "dominated". - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

Two things: 1) this is a strange game: Giants keep getting opportunities and blowing them, while the Cowboys look out of synch; and 2) Budweiser is making a wheat beer now? Please. - .LAG liked that

105,000+ in attendance at Cowboys Stadium tonight. I think the cheapest tickets start at $79...and there's not a lot of cheap seats here... - .LAG liked that

I'm no Cowboys fan, but this isn't looking good for the Gints. Not playing well at all. - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

ha3rvey ...i am a Giants fan, and I agree with you...their defensive line is getting sliced open right now - .LAG liked that

Yeah, I'm thinking the Cowboys are gonna win this one. I'm glad my kids are in bed. This way I won't have to hear any grief. - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

hahaha! - .LAG liked that

...as long as Tony Romo is playing QB, the other team has a chance to win... - .LAG liked that

Nice TD by the "other" Steve Smith! Giants back on top! - .LAG liked that

Marion Barber pulled a hamstring... - .LAG liked that

Great game. Hate to see Barber gone though. Cowboys feed off his energy. - Give 'Em DBizness

Icing never works. I hate that calling time out right before the kick. They need to outlaw that crap. - Give 'Em DBizness

GIANTS! WIN!!!!! that's how you break in Cowboys Stadium! Men in Blue ftw! - .LAG liked that

Hate that my Cowboys lost but that was a great game. Awesome way to open the new stadium. Except for the loss of course. :-) - Give 'Em DBizness

DB ...yeah, great game. great stadium. Your team will get another shot at my Jints later this season! - .LAG liked that

Wow. I'm frankly surprised the Gints won. That was something else! - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

3 INTs from Romo killed us. UGH! - Give 'Em DBizness

It's been a great Monday Night Football game. The Colts have been dominated and outplayed, and the Dolphins have kept the ball nearly 80% of the time. But when Peyton Manning has had the ball, he's led his team on four scoring drives. - .LAG liked that

...but the ball is in Miami's hands to win. 1:33 to go. 1rst and 10 from their 46 yard line. - .LAG liked that

...56 seconds to go...and no timeout for the Dolphins - .LAG liked that

...Miami's Ted Ginn dropped the would-be winning TD catch in the end zone... - .LAG liked that

...six seconds left. ball on 30yard line...Miami... - .LAG liked that

INTERCEPTED by Colts! they win! In a game where they possessed the ball less than 15 minutes. - .LAG liked that

Week 3 //////////////////////////////////////////// - .LAG liked that

Watching the Niners vs. Vikings in the Metrodome. Two great running backs. Two great defenses. I expect big plays in the aerial game as a result. .LOLz - .LAG liked that

...ouch! Jared Allen breaks into Niners backfield, causes fumble, 7-yard loss for SF - .LAG liked that

Chiefs/Eagles! - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

Watching Tenn v NYJ in their horrendous throwback/throw-up uniforms. Although... I like the officiating crew colours. - Mark H

@DrJohnny... nice! Let us know when Michael Vick steps onto the field... - .LAG liked that

watching peterson vs gore right now, but I'll probably be switching between this game and whatever's on CBS - chrisofspades

@MarkH ...eww, you mean those blue/yellow unis for the Jets? yuck! - .LAG liked that

Yeah, they're pretty gruesome. And weird to see Tenn playing in the old Oilers kits. - Mark H

...uh-oh. I'm out of beer. one of the beauties of the DVR is the pause button. I gotta run to the market. This thread will be here all day. Please add when something in the NFL moves you! L8r! - .LAG liked that

wow Mark Sanchez is a baller. what a TD run. - chrisofspades

Vick was in a WR? Wow. - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

This could be a long day for Tennessee. - Mark H

Vikings were going into halftime with a FG try to make it 16-7... Niners BLOCKED the kick, Nate Clemens recovers a clean bounce and takes it back 60 yards to the house. Niners 14, Vikings 13... at the half!!! - .LAG liked that

...ooh, ooh...I wanna see Vick at WR. Halftime hilites! Maybe I should pay for that NFL Redzone channel. .LOLz! - .LAG liked that

Vikes will power ahead away in the second half. My wife insists. - Mark H

Not been too impressed with the Titans/Oilers in my game but the Jets offense seems to have stalled, partly through the fact that Sanchez can't seem to get a good grip on the ball in the rain. - Mark H

...I don't know about the Vikings powering ahead. That 49er defense is starting to take on the tough, smashmouth characteristics of their head coach Mike Singletary. They never quit. - .LAG liked that

...looks like Vick ran a couple of wildcat options too... - .LAG liked that

...looks like Mark Sanchez is growing a porno moustache. .LOLz! - .LAG liked that

Kerry Collins and Tennessee suddenly looking quite good. I have the power to transform team fortunes through dismissive talk of them. It's a gift. - Mark H

@MarKH... LOLz! That's like broadcasters who'll say "This kicker hasn't missed a kick in two years..." or "This QB hasn't been intercepted in 20 straight games..." Then on the next play: missed kick or INT! hahaha - .LAG liked that

...this Vikings/Niners game has been really competitive. Niners play ugly, but they are tough - .LAG liked that

Niners just picked off in endzone...but play was whistled dead because of delay-of-game penalty. Lucky! - .LAG liked that

And just like that... I've decided that the phrase "and just like that" is really, really overused by commentators. - Mark H

Brett Favre just completed a big pass on third down, but he was 3 yards over the LOS. Niners challenging... - .LAG liked that

do the refs see the unofficial lines in the replay, like we do? - chrisofspades

Chris.... no, the refs don't see those lines, but they have linesmen who's job is to stand on the LOS and watch for that... - .LAG liked that

Favre is going to get the ball back with no timeouts and about 60 seconds to go... down four points. Here we go... this is what he's getting $12 million for.... - .LAG liked that

Favre is driving them... just completed a 50-yard bomb to Sidney Rice...out of bounds! - .LAG liked that

TOUCHDOWN VIKINGS....39-yard Favre laser...it will be reviewed though!!!! - .LAG liked that

what a catch! I thought he was out but in replay he was in - chrisofspades

...that looks like a TD to me! - .LAG liked that

definitely a TD - chrisofspades

Wow! Brett Favre! - .LAG liked that

Well, if Favre keeps playing like that he might just win over my wife after all. - Mark H

49ers and our great prevent offense. 3 plays up the gut and 0 time off the clock. At least try for a first down. OMG. - Todd Hoff

Todd ...yeah, the Niners could have done more to chew up the clock at the end there, but still, their defense let Favre drive about 70 yards with a minute left and NO timeouts. it's a team loss for SFO - .LAG liked that

...now watching Dolphins/Chargers... - .LAG liked that

Watching Dolphins/Chargers too. Both teams looking pretty shoddy in the red zone. - Mark H

Mark...agree, this has been kind of a snooze so far... especially after that Niners/Vikings finish. Oh well... - .LAG liked that

Miami is in danger of going 0-3... Chargers are putting together one of those killer late 4th quarter drives, late in the game, to close it out... - .LAG liked that

...yup! Chargers have this game in the bag now. - .LAG liked that

.LAG they really should have never been put in that position. Favre is a proven 9er killer. Call a rollout and make a safe pass if open. Something other than a use no time run up the gut. That's just bad bad strategy. Especially for a rookie running back averaging a couple of yards a carry. - Todd Hoff

Todd... great points. Niners are still learning to win, but they do have a lot of fight in them. - .LAG liked that

...looking forward to lots of offense in the Sunday Night Game between Colts and Cards! - .LAG liked that

...that's weird: Arizona blocked Indy's PAT, but the ball squirted through, hit the camera on top of the goalpost, and bounced back. the camera is above and behind the goalpost, so the kick looked bad, but was actually good. huh? - .LAG liked that

...can't tell if the Colts are this good, or the Cardinals are this bad, but this game is becoming clinical - .LAG liked that

They do have a lot of heart and that's a reason for hope. Though no matter how much I fight I can't do better than second in my pool now :-) - Todd Hoff

Cowboys start fast...and then go limp and blow their scoring opportunity... #mnf - .LAG liked that

...everytime the Cowboys' Felix Jones touches the ball, it looks like he's about to break a big play. it's a mixed sports metaphor, but it fits him: "home run hitter" ...he's a bomb ready to explode. - .LAG liked that

I love watching that guy run - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Shey... yeah, he's fun to watch, but he won't be running much if Romo and the Cowboys keep looking so sluggish. - .LAG liked that

...just what Dallas needed: big punt return. - .LAG liked that

Felix. Jones! - .LAG liked that

...crazy, crazy play by Tony Romo.. throws completely across the field.... - .LAG liked that

Pick-6 for the Cowboys... they have this game in the bag now. - .LAG liked that

Oh no, Eli Manning hurt his foot, he's out for the Giants right now. #nfl #nygiants - .LAG liked that

...but the Giants beat the Chiefs, 27-16 - .LAG liked that

...Bengals are in the red zone, under a minute to go in OT vs. Brown. all tied, 20-20, but not for long. 1rst and 10, Cleveland 13-yard line, 7 seconds left, or it ends in a tie. - .LAG liked that

Bengals win on a field goal. Poor Browns! - .LAG liked that

Can the Bucs run the table? I lived in Tampa in'76, and the '09 squad can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory... - Bill Sodeman

Bill ... the 2009 Bucs are pretty bad...the only team on their schedule they may be less than a double-digit underdog is Seattle - .LAG liked that

wow! what a great catch-and-run -- and poor tackling -- for a 50 yard TD by big baby Brandon Marshall! the Cowboys are in trouble in Denver. - .LAG liked that

Susan Komen Breast Cancer Fund + NFL = lots of pretty pink highlights on unis all over the league today. - .LAG liked that

Cowboys not dead yet... 4th-and-3... Romo manufactures a 53-yard desperation heave. 59 seconds left. ball on the Denver 20. - .LAG liked that

Can Tony Romo finish...? - .LAG liked that

Nope... he can't. Denver wins. - .LAG liked that

that was a dropped pass, though - Carter Rabasa from IM

@Carter ...it looked like a drop, but on the replay, you can see Champ Bailey coming around and punching the ball out - .LAG liked that

ok, but I'm still not sure that's Romo's fault. I think his receivers (esp. Roy Williams) let him down. - Carter Rabasa from IM

agree... dare I say, Romo needs T.O.? - .LAG liked that

I picked the Chargers tonight ...and the Steelers come out marching down the field like they're playing a JV high school team. :( - .LAG liked that

And then, of course, Mendenhall scores... and I benched him. - .LAG liked that

First quarter over. Steelers cruising. My fantasy team is all messed up this weekend. :( - .LAG liked that

Poor Aaron Rodgers... - .LAG liked that

HOW BOUT DAT BOY BRETT FAVRE - LANjackal

Is there a mercy rule in the NFL? because if there is, the Raiders need to invoke it against the Giants. It's like the Jints are playing Madden Football against someone who's never played before - .LAG liked that

The Giants have taken Eli Manning out of the game...he doesn't look injured though. - .LAG liked that

Who would win if USC played the Raiders? - Louis Gray

Louis: the Raiders would win, easily. they're a bad PRO team, yes, against the best competition on the planet. but every NFL team is basically an all-star college team of the highest caliber. it wouldn't even be close. Raiders 72, USC 3. - .LAG liked that

^ True. As much as we like college football, let's not get ahead of ourselves - LANjackal from IM

wow! David Carr -- remember him, he was the NFL's #1 draft pick about 8 years ago -- scores a TD for the Giants... the slaughter of the Raiders continues... - .LAG liked that

JaMarcus Russell...well, I'm not an NFL quarterback, but this guy is, well, horrible. he needs to go back to college and learn how to play football. - .LAG liked that

Russell has 5 completions... and 3 lost fumbles. Can he get 2 more fumbles? - .LAG liked that

Ummm .. have you forgotten how dysfunctional the Raiders are as an organization? JaMarcus was the best QB of his draft, and he's still a phenomenal athlete. He'll just never do well in the Raiders circus - LANjackal from IM

LANjackal... no doubt, in a different system, Russell would get better coaching, which would allow him to grow. Still, he seems to just be raw physical potential but with no actual talent for the position. he's not an accurate thrower, he has no pocket presence, he stares down receivers, and for huge, 6-foot-8, 270lb guy, he goes down far too easily... even tiny Jeff Garcia was harder to tackle. - .LAG liked that

Cincinnati 10, Baltimore 7...hmm, the Bengals D is balling. - .LAG liked that

Chiefs 13, Cowboys 3... it will really s*ck being Tony Romo if the Cowboys lose to a 0-4 team. - .LAG liked that

I'll have to put up a thread about that later if the Cowboys lose. I'm alarmed - LANjackal from IM

Tashard Choice TD... Chiefs 13, Cowboys 10 now - .LAG liked that

To JaMarcus Russell's credit: he gets very little help from his team. his line is porous and doesn't protect him, his running game is weak (related to the line play too), his WRs drop passes... it's all symptomatic of malaise throughout. the Raiders are becoming a case study in an organization that needs a complete top-to-bottom reboot. - .LAG liked that

+1000 to that - LANjackal from IM

...and to think I dumped Jeremy Maclin from my fantasy team earlier this week. His line today, as Donovan McNabb returns to the Eagles: 6 catches, 142 yards, 2 touchdowns! ouch! - .LAG liked that

Chiefs 13, Cowboys 13. not so fast.... - .LAG liked that

Too lazy for fantasy football on this end - LANjackal from IM

Fantasy football is an ingrained habit for me now: I'm a NY Giants fan living in SFO. if I didn't have FFL, I couldn't watch these Raider and Niner games... although, the Niners are getting entertaining these days. - .LAG liked that

Wow. Carolina just went ahead of the Redskins. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

The Falcons -- the team from that city that hosts 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' -- is currently pummeling the Niners 14-0 in the first! - .LAG liked that

Glen Coffee, who is a stud-in-waiting, scores for the Niners... Falcons 14, Niners 7 - .LAG liked that

The Niners' defense is starting to heat up...! - .LAG liked that

Oh man, yes, the Broncos throwback unis are terribly ugly. but, just like the SeaHawks neutron-lime-green throwbacks from a few weeks back, these unis are being marketed to a segment outside of the young, hip demographic. cool kids won't buy these, but they also don't buy most of the NFL's tickets. - .LAG liked that

wow...this Niners defense is really getting fun to watch... they're starting to play like their coach Mike Singletary...like a pack of mad dogs - .LAG liked that

big plays kill you... Falcons have a HUGE, 90-yard TD pass. still hammering the Niners! and then the Niners fumble the ensuing kickoff... - .LAG liked that

Broncos get on the board finally - LANjackal from IM

TB 0-5. Ha. Ha. Ha. YOU ARE NOT REAL. Never liked the Bucs - LANjackal from IM

Again for the elventyth time: I'm not feelin' the helmet dreads. #nonsequitor - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS

Barry... the helmet dreads are just the dreads...meaning: it's the look more and more young guys are rocking today, football or not. - .LAG liked that

Todd... i wouldn't say 'same old niners.' this is much more that the Falcons are actually a lot better than people think. in particular, i'm impressed at Atlanta's team speed...they're beating the NIners to every spot on the field - .LAG liked that

Holy shit what is happening to Jax? Seattle's doin dem boys worse than the Raiders this morning. OUCH. - LANjackal from IM

LJ... absolutely: if Sanchez and Henne stay healthy, they could make their teams pretty good for the next ten years... - .LAG liked that

Love how Miami ran their offense. It's nice to see a little innovation. And love how the Jets fake a few punts. It's nice to see to some sack. There's too much playing it safe by most teams. - Todd Hoff

...the Miami offense on the final drive was incredible. they had the Jets completely confused. - .LAG liked that

These are my Week 6 impressions so far: 1) Vikings have two lucky wins; 2) Can't believe the Saints could run up that many points on my Giants; 3) the Redskins may be worse than the Raiders, because they spend even more money and get even less in return; 4) the Rams will probably be moving back to LA.... - .LAG liked that

Yeah I'm shocked at the way the Giants game turned out too. Actually I think the better term is "appalled" :( - LANjackal

WHooooooooooooah! did I just enter the Twilight Zone? Is that final correct? Raiders 13, Eagles 9... huh? what? wtf? - .LAG liked that

Interception Bowl continues at the Meadowlands. Unbelievable. - Eric Logan

Boy, the Titans really really really sucked. I bet the Rams could have shut them out the way they were playing. - Mathew™ one of a kind

59-0. The Titans must be ready to burn those Oilers throwback uniforms by now. - Bill Sodeman

It's hard to believe that a professional football team, especially one that was a playoff team, with a 13-3 record, a season ago, could be demolished like this. I can only think that the Titans quit. - .LAG liked that

I think the Rams, Titans and the Bucs have all quit - in week 6. Stunning. - Bill Sodeman

The 49ers are stuck in the 90s. Singletary drew the wrong lessons from his experience. Dynasties haven't been running centric teams. This year the best running teams aren't in the lead. Singletary, play the team you have, not the team you want to play with in the 90s. The 49ers are a passing team, that's where their strengths are. Make it happen. - Todd Hoff

Looks like the Browns actually allowed Quinn to throw down the field this time around. No W tho o well - LANjackal from IM

Todd ...I agree with what Billick was saying at the end of the broadcast: the 49ers have to decide what kind of team they're going to be. When they go into that spread offense, suddenly, they can move up and down the field effectively.

Sanchez is playing like a rookie! Everyone was hoping he'd have a Flacco or Ryan rookie year, but you know what? If you look at Flacco and Ryan, neither or them are exactly living up to last year's accolades. Maybe we can get back to this time-tested notion that it takes most NFL QBs three or four years before they "figure it all out" and stop expecting rookies to lead you to the Super Bowl - .LAG liked that

#wtf et #fail - Itachi

that's ridiculous - Shey, Jamaican of FF

before I click: I bet there's more to it than that. - Richard Lawler

after I click: she was smiling ON A SUNNY VACATION. yeah, minor detail not in the headline - Richard Lawler

reading through it, that's pretty weak sauce. I don't really know the definitions, but couldn't someone who's clinically depressed still be able to smile on occasion? Like with friends on a birthday or on a vacation or something? To dictate this major policy based on a limited sample of pictures posted on a social network (and not say, a doctor's opinion or something) seems ridiculous. - Chieze Okoye

If you're supposed to be getting well..for a year, and you're on vacation (and I'd bet a considerable amount that there's even more to the story like she lied about going on vacation) and there's no doctor's explanation of why...then no, it's not ridiculous. She was faking and they caught her at it, only the FACEBOOK PICTURES details were deemed important enough for the article. - Richard Lawler

We've been discussing this in the Chronic Illness Support Room: http://friendfeed.com/painsup... - Spidra Webster

Again Richard, my point is that a few pictures on facebook (which together capture less than a second in the existence of this one person) is not sufficient evidence to say someone is cured from clinical depression. No insurance policy regarding depression should be based on that as it is not impossible in any sense of the word for someone to be clinically depressed and also smiling for a camera shot. - Chieze Okoye

Chieze - did you read the article? The insurance agency agrees with you. So, what's your problem with this? - Richard Lawler

Except they suspended it based on this "evidence" at all, rather than checking with a doctor before taking such a drastic step. - Chieze Okoye

And (also from the article): "Manulife says the photos are evidence that she is no longer depressed." So yes, I read the article and it seems to me that they're saying one thing and doing another. Making them hypocritical as well. - Chieze Okoye

How do you know they didn't check with a doctor? It doesn't say they're evidence because she is smiling. You're assuming that aspect. - Richard Lawler

Richard, and I didn't read the article yet. If there's more to it, than the more to it should be presented in the article. The reporting isn't well if Chieze still has these questions. - Lynne d Johnson

Sorry Richard, but I found the original CBC article. And there, just as here, the VERY STRONG implication is that Manulife used the facebook photos as their sole point of reference to determine that she wasn't depressed. In fact, in the CBC article is a statement from Nathalie that she was doing those things specifically on her doctor's advice in order to try to do fun things like that to help the depression. http://www.cbc.ca/technol... - Chieze Okoye

Smile does not equal no longer depressed. Just because you use 22 muscles to smile doesn't mean the negative horrible depressing thoughts and low energy is not still there. Insurance companies practicing medicine without a license again. - CW™

I read the original article Chieze, unfortunately, caps or not, there isn't evidence of what Manulife used to determine she wasn't depressed. The key elements here are what her doctor told her to do, and what she told her employer and insurer. - Richard Lawler

TBH, I find it odd that you're willing to give the benefit of the doubt to an insurance company driven to cut expenditures and improve profit over a woman that had been (apparently) diagnosed by a doctor as depressed going out and trying to have a good time on advice from her doctor. - Chieze Okoye

From the article ""I don't think for judging a mental state that Facebook is a very good tool," he said, adding that he has requested another psychiatric evaluation for Blanchard. "It's not as if somebody had a broken back and there was a picture of them carrying …a load of bricks," Lavin said. "My client was diagnosed with a major depression. And there were pictures of her on Facebook, in a party or having a good time. It could be that she was just trying to escape."" - Chieze Okoye

Richard, again, I still haven't read the piece yet, but will shortly. This isn't being well reported if we don't know what steps have been taken in the insurance company's determination. If all we have are the facebook photos -- then that alone is not substantial enough to make a judgment. No we can need read into the article and assume to know that there was no follow up in terms of a... more... - Lynne d Johnson

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that the headline is sensationalist based on FACEBOOK PICTURES. I don't think I can judge the worthiness of her case beyond the facts that her policy was suspended and the company is willing to put in writing that it wouldn't cancel it solely on facebook photos. That would imply there's something else, right? - Richard Lawler

There is no indication anywhere that Manulife used anything BUT the Facebook pictures. The fact that her lawyer is ordering the new psychiatric evaluation (rather than say Manulife after it found the pictures) speaks volumes. - Chieze Okoye

Speaks volumes of what? Her lawyer is trying to build a case for his client? What else would he possibly do? - Richard Lawler

That Manulife didn't think that maybe they should get a current doctor's opinion before they cancelled or suspended her coverage? - Chieze Okoye

and how do you know that they haven't done that? You don't have a statement from their end at all beyond the written one that says they wouldn't suspend or cancel based only on Facebook photos. That's it. - Richard Lawler

Lynne - until it actually goes to court, if it does, it's unlikely there's any way to know exactly what happened in the decision. The only reason the article exists, as evidenced by it appearing in the tech pages, is because it involves Facebook. That's the only detail we know for sure. - Richard Lawler

I don't know for a fact (you're very right about that), but I presume based on the fact that all the quotes related to the issue with Ms. Blanchard say specifically that they didn't and Manulife hasn't said specifically that they did. - Chieze Okoye

and I presume this case never goes to court, we'll have to wait and see. - Richard Lawler

From the article, "Blanchard's case will be before Quebec Superior Court Dec. 8." Seems to me like it will. - Chieze Okoye

from which article? - Richard Lawler

CBC article I linked to. - Chieze Okoye

Uh, no it isn't. The word superior doesn't appear anywhere in there I could find. - Richard Lawler

Oh, whoops, you're right. Sorry, it was in an SFGate article (originally from AP) about the same issue that I was looking at concurrently http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin... - Chieze Okoye

Hmmm, that's odd. The plot thickens. I guess it is just wait and see. - Chieze Okoye

I forget to use Google Reader. I prefer FF - Mike Nencetti

Also see: http://friendfeed.com/jessest... - Jesse Stay

Isn't that because the URL most people use for Google Reader is http://www.google.com/reader ? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken is right. I always use http://www.google.com/reader. You can also get feeds on http://www.google.com/ig/ Jesse, it's time for you to retire from stats mayhem. - Louis Gray

Remember, 65.4% of all stats are made up on the spot. - Ken Sheppardson

i use google.com/reader too - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Web 1.0 is to Web 2.0 as Alexa is to Compete. - AJ Kohn

There will also be users coming from other countries like us here (google.ca/reader). - AJ Batac

Louis, I'm simply sharing the same type of stats you did with FriendFeed. Who shall retire first? - Jesse Stay

Louis shared stats for FriendFeed using the wrong URL? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, http://reader.google.com is how I access Google Reader - Jesse Stay

See how it redirects to www.google.com/reader? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, my point is Louis's stats mean as much as mine do - there are way more factors that go into this, I agree - Jesse Stay

Jesse, without demeaning you personally, this is false and ridiculous. FriendFeed is a domain, a specific one, and I chose the primary domain. Google Reader is a subdomain or directory, and you chose the one that, as you show, nobody uses. The Alexa data you showed for FriendFeed illustrated something that nobody is experiencing. This isn't gamesmanship. It's just wrong, again. - Louis Gray

I have a hard time understanding the fights and points Jesse chooses to get into.....just baffling. - Matthew DeVries

So let's take this constructively - what's a better way of comparing the two if http://reader.google.com is a bad way? - Jesse Stay

Neither.... it's apples and oranges. - Jason Williams

Jason - considering some use FriendFeed as a replacement for Google Reader it's not apples and oranges - they're competition. - Jesse Stay

Really? Why on earth would anyone use FF over Reader? FF complements Reader but shouldn't supplant it. Is there really a constructive way to read rss feeds here? - Jason Williams

Jason, many people do that - it always comes out when Scoble is threatening to leave Reader. It's also why your FriendFeed stats now show up with your Feedburner stats. - Jesse Stay

looks like we gotta get louis to work more hours to get that chart moving in the right direction! - Allen Stern

Amen Allen (that's the spirit)! I'd love to see more stability and more focus on core functionality, not the social features. More stats, more organizational tools, more sharing tools. Better UI. Less bugs. I would use it more if that were the case. - Jesse Stay

Give me a better way to manage thousands of items a day and I'll read thousands of items a day. For now I've had to reduce my use due to how bulky and hard-to-manage it all is. - Jesse Stay

for the record i rarely to never use google reader. - Allen Stern

when friendfeed shows me full content RSS feeds instead of just title links, let me know. until then, I'll keep using Google Reader. that's the same notion that twitter is a replacement for it. I get it but it doesn't work for me. - Bill Kinney

Jesse knows that I read more than 1,000 items per day and am connected to more than 1,000 people via shared item feeds. The graph above is not valid. Google Reader is a great complement to FriendFeed, and always has been. It's the vast majority of my feed. Reader is also, very flexibly, able to share to different sites, including Twitter and Facebook. - Louis Gray

Yes, Bill. Jesse is just grumpy today. :) He knows better than to post data without any substance and try and get a faux argument going. He also is tempting me to post a SocialToo traffic chart and compare it to Twitter. :) - Louis Gray

i think that louis and jesse need a "time out" - both of you to your respective corners for a juice box - Allen Stern

No way, Allen! Not when there are great injustices in this world! :) - Louis Gray

louis i just sat through 4 hrs of city council hearings at city hall - not once did google reader or friendfeed come up :) - Allen Stern

Jesse, the difference is that Readers traffic isn't dependent on who else is also using it. As much as Google would like it to be, it's not a social tool. I can get my FF feed in Reader but not vice versa. Do you really get your "news" from FF? It's the same thing with Twitter. People try to make it a RSS replacement but it isn't no matter how much you want it to be. 140 characters might be ok for links and quick social commentary but in depth news, not so much. - Jason Williams

Allen, but they did mention a series of tubes, at least in passing I'm sure :) - Micah Wittman

*thinks of how to talk Jesse down from the ledge...* Jesse, Hi :) At best you are criticizing conventional wisdom web statistics in general and mixing it with a clearly flawed swipe at Reader. ### Now, carefully, come back from the precipice and live to fight another day. - Micah Wittman

You guys are all proving my point - that this argument is just as crazy a claim as this one is here: http://friendfeed.com/louisgr... - you can't trust stats - Jesse Stay

I use Feedly, which is off the back of Google Reader - Ian May

Jesse, nobody has proven your point. The only point that has been made is that you made a mistake and tried to draw a parallel, and you failed. - Louis Gray

Of course you can trust stats, Jesse. You just have to understand how they were collected, what they mean, and not try to use them to support some completely unrelated hypothesis. I've seen two graphs of US and global FriendFeed visitor stats that support two different statements... that US usage is down and global usage is up, respectively. The graph you've created for reader.google.com is irrelevant and immaterial, for reasons given above. - Ken Sheppardson

I could be wrong, but a certain someone who pronounced FF as dead cited that new features in GR were going to kill it. Just sayin'. Also just sayin' - I'm with Louis on this one. The combination of Google Reader and Friendfeed have changed the game for me, bigtime. - jcunwired

Surely not. - Will Higgins™

I'm probably in the minority but I have replaced Google Reader with FriendFeed. Pretty much for discussions like this one. I'm not sure I find the same value in Reader, I tend to bookmark and re-visit the same sites anyway. FriendFeed brings something to the table that a bookmark just doesn't. Reader, not so much. At least not for me. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

We need a UFC match between Louis Gray and Jesse Stay. The 9-lettered names of mayhem! - beersage

I'd like to append my last post with, I still scan GR, so the previous comments about using GR and FF together as a powerful combination--in practice, if not in heart--I'm in agreement with. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

See what happens when I stayed in GReader (and some Twitter) all day, I missed a good thread. I read/skim a little over 1,000 posts a day, I'm not sure if I read more than Louis (42,597 items in last 30 days) but it's my information center. Friendfeed use to be my place for discussions around the news, since engagement has dropped here (for me at least), I've moved back to Twitter for a fraction of that engagement (FB for friends/coworkers/family). - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I never knew there was a reader.google.com - Richard Lawler

Almost all of Google's (non-acquired) properties can do both whatever.google.com and google.com/whatever which is very smart actually. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

On the subject, I must thank Louis, Jesse and many others that act as filters on GReader BTW. When I don't have time to go through the bulk, these guys help bring the cream to the top. I try to do my part in filtering for others but I feel that it's a team effort to bring the signal to others as automated filters aren't smart enough (yet). - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Funny, I cut back on my usage of both services and the graph goes down. You can blame Scoble now. I don't use Google Reader anymore. - Robert Scoble

Don't talk about yourself in the third person. - Mark

I blame Scoble for the drop in the Twitter chart as well then. <smirk> - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

My use has gone down significantly and I'm seriously looking for the perfect solution to replace it. Hoping Seesmic or Tweetie or Tweetdeck do that soon. See: http://staynalive.com/article... - Jesse Stay

I now know Louis's Kryptonite - criticize Google Reader ;-) - Jesse Stay

Robert, please don't leave Gmail, because I still need that. Thanks. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

Jesse - I agree with your April blog post 100%. I also want to mention that Google Alerts is also a helpful tool for monitoring blog posts. (And without a doubt, most of us use it.) - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed

Jesse, kryptonite would weaken someone if it were their personal poison. I am not weakened by your inaccuracies and stubbornness. :) - Louis Gray

Anyone know what Feedly's numbers are?? - Roberto Bonini

it is still my best organic conversational real time tool... - Yann Ropars

Feedly is actually down 11% in Nov as well. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/feedly... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Is this a trend?? The holiday season and all?? What about Feedburner stats?? If RSS usage (i.e for RSS clients) is in decline (unlikely) it would show up there. - Roberto Bonini

manieles: feedly's content is generated dynamically in the browser so the metrics you are pointing to are just metrics of our blog (most users download feedly from the mozilla (and now chrome) sites. 2009 was a good year for feedly: we grew 1,527% from Dec 08 until Dec 09. http://twitter.com/edwk... - Edwin Khodabakchian

Ah, I guess that makes my comment above moot. There goes that theory. - Roberto Bonini

Sorry Edwin, just like reader.google.com the compete numbers don't show the story of true use. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

No problem Mark (it happens a lot). Roberto: Feedly is still relatively a niche service compared to Friendfeed and Google Reader so your theory could be correct. I do not have visibility into the Google Reader usage information but I can say that the underlying infrastructure keeps on getting better and innovating at a very fast pace. They have the foundation for a distributed... more... - Edwin Khodabakchian

Sounds like what I said about FriendFeed :-) - Jesse Stay

Jesse: Friendfeed is down but they are not dead. It all depends on if Facebook will decide to invest and move the service forward or not. If they do not, at some point Twitter and Facebook will have a super set of the friendfeed features and at that point their will be no turn around possible. Friendfeed sold out too early. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, Jesse is having an off day. Feedly is doing fantastically. Google Reader continues to have the #1 position in RSS and things are flourishing with their social features. FriendFeed has great technology and a fantastic community, but stalled momentum. Jesse should be in better form in about 5-7 days. - Louis Gray

Jesse are you sick *again*? I told you to eat more bacon! :-) - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Would be interesting to see a metric that measures total number of posts having comments and likes versus total posts and compare that to the "glory days" of Friendfeed. How much different is the engagement now? - Steve

Louis is basing his "FriendFeed is down" on faulty stats - that's the point of this thread. FriendFeed's just fine: http://staynalive.com/article... - I agree Reader and RSS are fine. So is FriendFeed. - Jesse Stay

Steve, you can always use FriendFeed's advanced search to find 100 comments and likes posts. - Louis Gray

Jesse, discussing this with you is getting boring. That post was wrong and based on data even worse than the public information I used. - Louis Gray

Nothing on the Internet is dead until the servers are unplugged and the information is not cached elsewhere. There could be 1 unique user on a site and it still could be very useful for that one person. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Mark, that's correct. I covered that when I said I would still find value if I were the last FriendFeeder. What's frustrating about this nonsense of a thread is that Jesse made a mistake with his graph and continues to stand by it. - Louis Gray

As did Louis (I'm not standing by this graph - I was making a point), and he continues to stand by his (about FriendFeed traffic being down) - Jesse Stay

Because it is down. - Louis Gray

Louis, if you think my post is wrong, how about a post proving my points wrong - Jesse Stay

:-) - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

It is a waste of time. It also does not benefit me or the community to make high visibility of negativity around this site. That's why I posted what I did here previously, also knowing it tends to be written about and spun by other blogs. - Louis Gray

I don't think Louis believes his graph is wrong - who's the stubborn one? ;-) - Jesse Stay

Congratulates Jesse and his graph for making my best of day on FF. I am not a fan of Google reader. the graph looks accurate to me and the feedback I see of GR. - Mike Nencetti

Jesse: I am confused. It seems that the point you are trying to make is that graphs are wrong in general and that both friendfeed and RSS are fine. Is that correct? - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, correct - Jesse Stay

Jesse, I believe that Compete.com data is not perfect, but it is the best publicly available data that we have. I also believe that the trends it portrays about this specific site are 100% accurate. Your data showing Google Reader at zero is laughable and an embarrassment to your reputation. - Louis Gray

Mike, this didn't make "best of day". It made "most obtuse of the day". :) - Louis Gray

Jesse: which metric would you use to determine if friendfeed as a service is up or down? - Edwin Khodabakchian

It is not showing it at 0 - it is showing it at very low. - Jesse Stay

Edwin: http://staynalive.com/article... - Jesse Stay

Google Reader's traffic is hidden within www.google.com's data. Dare I add iGoogle for RSS feeds into that picture as well. However, Friendfeed's traffic is not hidden (for US Traffic) in Compete's numbers. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Jesse relied on Alexa data (which is the ugly stepsister of Compete.com), and he suggested that Bret Taylor's graph showing a higher percentage of international users suggested growth, when, more accurately, it portrayed that US visitors fell away at a dramatic rate. - Louis Gray

Louis: May be you and Jesse are looking at this from different angle and are both right - Edwin Khodabakchian

Nah. Edwin, I will always support good data. :) This is bad data. - Louis Gray

Quantcast shows a similar decline. Every service that is respected shows a decline. http://www.quantcast.com/friendf... - Louis Gray

Louis, I never denied yours was based on US data. My point was FriendFeed was not down, which you claimed it to be. - Jesse Stay

May be Friendfeed has a lot more persian users which are less active but nevertheless users. But over all Friendfeed has a lot less momentum and engagement because the early adopters have moved to twitter - Edwin Khodabakchian

Jesse, I continue to claim that global traffic worldwide, including US and non-US traffic is down, period. And even if you were right, turning this into Orkut or Friendster is not a thing to be proud of. - Louis Gray

Jess: the problem is that down is not as important as momemtum and innovation. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Louis, again, you're showing the wrong state re: Quantcast - click the "all" link and you'll see something more reflective. They're down in the short-term (at least in the US), but not in the long-term. - Jesse Stay

There' nothing wrong with Alexa from a world view. Just don't mix numbers between Compete, Quantcast and Alexa. Compete clearly shows the US usage has dropped. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Louis, I never turned this into a comparison of Orkut and Friendster - where is this coming from? - Jesse Stay

Jesse, the short term is the start of the long term. You know better than this. - Louis Gray

I am. Those are sites dominated by non-US visitors, contrasted with Facebook and Twitter. - Louis Gray

Louis, I disagree the short-term is the start of the long term - Jesse Stay

Jesse: One simpler question for you: do you think that there is a chance for friendfeed to regain momentum and flourish without an engineering team behind it? - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, absolutely, but I think there will be an engineering team behind it eventually - Jesse Stay

and there is an engineering team behind it currently, or it would not be able to handle the current traffic. - Jesse Stay

Hmm. Do you have another example to point us to? Where will the engineering come from eventually? - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, Facebook - Jesse Stay

Friendfeed is clearly transforming. It may gain momentum for a while until 'other services' catch up. However once a better wheel is made... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I think that you are fooling yourself - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, absolutely not - there are numbers to prove it - whether it's still FriendFeed or transforms into Facebook, it will still be around, and serving way more than it is now. - Jesse Stay

Facebook wanted the brainpower and that brainpower is not integrated into other facebook projects - Edwin Khodabakchian

That brainpower is still keeping FriendFeed running at the same time - Jesse Stay

Here again. I think that you are fooling yourself - Edwin Khodabakchian

That brainpower still believes in FriendFeed - Jesse Stay

Jesse, I would listen to Edwin, and Matthew Davies, and almost everyone else in this thread. - Louis Gray

Facebook is in a hyper competitive space, those brains are working 150% on facebook projects - Edwin Khodabakchian

You can clearly see that the FF team is porting features into FB, they are attempting to have a friend of a friend system similar to FF. IF THEY SUCCEED, FB has become Friendfeed. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Jesse, Bret is VP of Products at Facebook and working on Connect and the dev community which reaches 100x+ more people than FriendFeed does. - Louis Gray

Louis I didn't say FriendFeed wouldn't transform into Facebook. I did say it wasn't going away and it would continue growing. - Jesse Stay

But it is not growing, and that entire argument is dead right there. - Louis Gray

It is growing, your argument is dead. - Jesse Stay

I think that you are right that it is going to stay (that is a low hanging fruit) and it might grow in some geographies (like it does in Iran because of the network effect) and because it was ahead of its time in terms of conversation, the erosion will take longer but there is no doubt that with no engineering, it is a dead end. - Edwin Khodabakchian

AOL is not growing but it's hardly dead. Wait, I'm on Louis's side on this... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

AOL is investing massively to survive - Edwin Khodabakchian

AOL is apples and oranges - if Facebook stops growing you can start comparing it to AOL. - Jesse Stay

Mark, that's fine. I don't think there are sides. There's what's correct, and whatever Jesse is doing. - Louis Gray

Or whatever Louis is doing - he seems to think he's correct, which he's not (now this is getting repetitive) - Jesse Stay

Too bad the friendfeed team did not believe in friendfeed the same way Jess believes in Friendfeed! - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, the FriendFeed team saw what we all see and sold at the right time for a fantastic opportunity. - Louis Gray

I will agree to disagree with Louis - that's about the only way I'm backing down on this. I believe passionately in FriendFeed, and I see no reason it's dying. - Jesse Stay

Edwin look at how much the FriendFeed team uses FriendFeed - they still believe passionately in the service. They believe so as much as I do. - Jesse Stay

(and I never said it was dying, nor did I say I don't believe in what was built here) Go find me saying that anywhere. - Louis Gray

Jesse: would you have sold to friendfeed? - Edwin Khodabakchian

I don't get what you are saying Louis - what is your argument? - Jesse Stay

Start from the top. (And read your DMs). The graph you show here has zero validity and it is in no way relevant to the graph you are discussing from last week, period. - Louis Gray

All I know is that public statistics lie. Paul B knows the real answer for FF, as does Jeff Huber for GReader stats. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Okay, so your argument is that FriendFeed is declining - isn't that the same as dying? - Jesse Stay

If you get the flu, do you always die, Jesse? - Louis Gray

If you lose 20 pounds, is it guaranteed that you will eventually hit zero? - Louis Gray

Louis, okay, whatever - I see no reason it's declining - Jesse Stay

Then you are being naive and ignoring all the public data, plus anecdotal data from this site itself. - Louis Gray

The FF sale is more than a flu, it's a handicap scenario. It makes it harder to see a perfect future. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Louis: I am not sure that facebook was/is a fantastic opportunity for the friendfeed team. Facebook connect is awesome but this space is still at its infancy and I am not sure that the centralized facebook/twitter model will be the model of the future. Friendfeed had the advantage of understanding search really well and being distributed at its core - great asset! - Edwin Khodabakchian

Louis, not naive at all - I shared the public data publicly on my blog, showing backed evidence the site is still growing. Where's your rebuttal? Do I have to show this again?: http://staynalive.com/article... - Jesse Stay

Using your links in your article, Jesse, Quantcast topped out in August and has fallen significantly since. And we already noted that the Alexa data, which is the outlier, shows a small upward trend. - Louis Gray

Louis, your argument is it's falling short-term. My argument is that it's growing long-term. My data supports that. I'm definitely not naive and frankly I'm beginning to be offended you're calling me that. - Jesse Stay

OK. Good discussion. I think that Louis and Jess should go get a beer and huge each other. Time to go write some code! - Edwin Khodabakchian

Yes, if you put the calendar back far enough, the trajectory is upward. Of course it is. And Edwin, I can't get Jesse to drink beer. - Louis Gray

Great, then we agree - Jesse Stay

I agree that if you go over a 2 year calendar, traffic to FriendFeed has increased. - Louis Gray

I guess I missed something... I've seen (1) Quantcast and Compete charts of US reach/visitors which says domestic use is down (2) an Alexa chart that says international use is up (3) a comment and accompanying chart from Bret saying "international growth has started to completely dominate since August (4) a pretty significant shift in the FFholic Most Active user list to international users, and (5) lots of anecdotal evidence from English-speaking users saying they've seen reduced (or stable) activity. - Ken Sheppardson

...is somebody taking exception to any of those observations? - Ken Sheppardson

Nope. Agreed, Ken. - Louis Gray

But the entire thread originated with the Google Reader flat line, which was a mistake. - Louis Gray

Yeah, I think everybody's just trying to ignore that at this point ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

I just don't get why Jesse's trying to make this you-can't-believe-stats/charts argument. I think there's something in my list of 5 point that Jesse thinks is wrong. - Ken Sheppardson

Jesse doesn't believe the Compete or Quantcast data showing a decline. - Louis Gray

I don't think I ever agreed the above graph was correct - it was put there to show a point - Jesse Stay

So you believe US usage is up, or not declining, Jesse? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, I didn't mean you can't believe them - I mean they can often be deceptive - Jesse Stay

Which is amusing, because the blue line here is identical to the same blue line I posted last week. - Louis Gray

My head hurts. - Ken Sheppardson

I thought I'd post it up against the same deceptive result so we were on the same terms - Jesse Stay

Jesse - Next time use a red line .... :) - Charlie Anzman

Sigh. I could also show a graph that over the last 120 years, GM sales are way up, and compare that to the sale of unicycles. - Louis Gray

Just laughed out loud at that one Louis - Hutch Carpenter

Damn, you mean Unicycles sales are up right now? Tomorrow is free shipping day.... :-) - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Are you saying Google Reader is like a Unicycle? - Jesse Stay

Nope. - Louis Gray

So Google Reader is going to be like GM? - Jesse Stay

Ah... sorry... a light bulb just went off... showing a chart that shows US traffic is declining is deceptive in that some people who look at it might conclude that's overall activity, when in fact total, world-wide activity is steady or increasing. - Ken Sheppardson

That's one of Jesse's theories, Ken. (Still doesn't explain the Google Reader non-sequitir) - Louis Gray

If Google Reader is like a Unicycle, it's like the Honda's U3-X..... a very cool one! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I'm starting to piece this together... so showing reader.google.com traffic is declining when in fact total Reader traffic is up... ? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, correct - Jesse Stay

reader.google.com is a domain nobody uses. Reader traffic is unknown, but certainly not the flat line displayed here. - Louis Gray

Louis, I use reader.google.com - Jesse Stay

I'd agree with that theory. The World growth is outpacing US internet growth. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I just took a look at the graph at http://www.alexa.com/siteinf... Turns out that although international reach is up as shown in your graph, Jesse, Alexa shows a 20% or so decrease in their pageview graph since the peak near August. More users spending less time... - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, that is short-term though, which was another point of mine. Long-term they still have an upward trend. It is still much too early to determine if they are declining yet. Maybe in 6 months you guys can all show me I'm wrong. - Jesse Stay

Facebook bought FF in Aug, that throws a trendline in completely different direction. It's an inflection point. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Mark, FF took a dip after that, but they recovered and went even higher than before the FF acquisition. I wouldn't call that an inflection point. - Jesse Stay

Which chart shows traffic higher than before the acquisition (not counting the spike after due to curious people who never heard of FF before they read it)? Are you looking at Alexa's "Reach"? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Yes, Mark... Alexa's chart of international reach shows that the % of worldwide internet users who are visiting FriendFeed is up. It's also the 47th most popular site in Turkey, 227th in Italy, and 412th in Pakistan. :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Mark, correct, which is more accurate because it compares visitors globally, not just US - Jesse Stay

In fact Alexa says 20.7% users are from the US and 20.6% are from Turkey, and another 20% or so from Italy, Japan, and India combined. - Ken Sheppardson

Right but the question would be what were those percentages between countries back in August? A shift in demographics needs to be adjusted by online population in those countries. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

There's roughly 74M people in Turkey. For every 1% drop in US visits, about 4% would automatically gain for Turkey in the Pie Chart without a single new user in growth. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

I don't believe they're breaking out the % of users in each country that are visiting FriendFeed, they're talking about what % of FriendFeed users are coming from each country. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken is correct. - Louis Gray

Strongly Disagree. Look at my coupon work site: RedPlum.com 92.2% are from the US. I highly doubt I have that much audience but I'd love for it to be true. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Disagree with what, Mark? That stat means for every 100 people who visit your site, 92 are from the US. - Ken Sheppardson

Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. It's a pie of % of FF visitors are coming from which country. We are on same page. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Yeah, sorry... I switched from "reach" to the user breakdown midstream there. - Ken Sheppardson

So as I was saying, a 1% drop in US visits moves Turkey up 4% when you factor populations and no new additions. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

To tie that together with Compete's US view, the US audience dropped 20% in last 90 days so Turkey would naturally rise in the pie chart regardless of new user growth from that country. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Actually digging that information a bit more, only 21.1% of the Turkey population uses the internet so the spread would widen even further. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

wow - ★ Soner Gönül

Rjcc brought the pain yesterday... the good kind... the gaming kind. We are up to 11,836 points of gamerscore. Jealous? That is an improvement of 45 points over last time! He rallied 1 vs 100 acquiring 1 achievement, Halo 3: ODST picking up 3 achievements, and then it felt like he threw my controller and I was like, TAKE IT EASY SHEESH and we stopped. I always like to end with a little bit about Rjcc and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. Follow every up and down over here. 4 other people are mixing it up, meaning fierce competition and some creative trash talk. Out of everyone, Rjcc is holding on to the number 2 spot. With 2 days to go, anything can still happen though... get on it! - Richard Lawler

Polamalu's Knee Injury Expected To Keep Him Out For A Month - SB Nation - http://www.sbnation.com/2009...

November 22 from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

"ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who is not a human being at all, but is instead a news-breaking machine comprised of gears, axles, conveyor belts, and punch cards, reports that Troy Polamalu is expected to be out for a month. The good news for Steelers fans, of course, is that Polamalu should hopefully be back for the playoffs. A straw-stuffed scarecrow is expected to bear the load in the Pittsburgh secondary until then. While not nearly as fast as Polamalu, it does scare birds away." - Steve from Bookmarklet

Statistics for Gerhart cannot overcome the fact he plays for an 8-4 squad when there are still multiple unbeatens in the FBS. Stanford will not, and should not, get respect from the voters. - Louis Gray

The heisman isn't for the best team, but instead the best player - RAPatton from iPhone

I understand. That's like saying the MVP in baseball should go to the best player even if their team didn't make the playoffs. - Louis Gray

It looks like Mark Ingram, Colt McCoy, or even Tim Tebow again. Bay Area fans are delusional around Gerhart, and it's not going to happen. - Louis Gray

Statistics for Tebow overcame the fact he played for a 9-4 squad... - Ken Sheppardson

++++Ken. Also, I'm not from the bay area. He's the best player I've seen this season. What will kill him is lack of tv coverage, but he's got a shot - RAPatton from iPhone

By the way, as much as I might think he should win it, I don't think he will. I don't think they can give it to Ingram and not Gerhart, considering they match up directly on paper and Gerhart wins that pretty handily. But as far as the Heisman goes, I think wins are sort of considered individual statistics when it comes to QBs, plus we're talking about college football and you can't really apply any logic to who and why "they" pick anybody for anything. - Ken Sheppardson

My money is on Tebow, simply because he's already won it, and his hype engine's red-lined these days. - Ken Sheppardson

Also, re "That's like saying the MVP in baseball should go to the best player even if their team didn't make the playoffs." ... or like giving the Cy Young to guys whose teams didn't make the playoffs. Oh, wait... - Ken Sheppardson

But tebow wasn't nearly as good this season, and did little against the good opponents florida faced. - Richard Lawler

I'd go gerhart and ingram before tebow, but tebow before mccoy - RAPatton

Jandy, yeah, that one. Thing is, I had such high hopes for it, but the narrative and the science were just swiss cheese and Sam Rockwell bugged the crap out of me (which disturbed me as I generally enjoy his characters quite a bit). We've come a long way since 2001: a Space Odyssey and no one has come even close... or really tried, in my opinion. 2010 would have been great if it wasn't... more... - Adrian

Fight Club. - Call me Bronco

Sarah - that and Seven were the Emperor's New Clothes of movies. - Matthew DeVries

I didn't see Seven. Fight Club pissed me the fuck off. And I am so glad you agree! I knew I liked you, Matthew DeVries. ;) - Call me Bronco

OH MY GOD, I take it all back, every movie I said is forgiven so that I may punch directly in the face THE SIXTH SENSE. It's an hour and fourty five minutes that I thought was two hours and thirty minutes that felt like 3 and a half hours. That movie dragged so much morbid ass they needed to import ass from other countries just to make it. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

All M. Night Sham-man films, Napoleon Dynamite, and the Original Wickerman. - Neal Krummell

Oh Neal, thank you for reminding me. The Village. I would not just punch that one in the face. It would definitely be a kick to the nads, too. - Chieze Okoye

I knew eventually someone would bring up "Hulk" with Bana. Which I consider the better of the new I-Hulk movies. The new one was really bad and just a cliche comic-book film. Everything M. Night did after the first half of Signs is punchable. - Joe Pierce

Uhhh. They're. Games. You can't commit war crimes against bits. Wouldn't these people's time be better spent dealing with *actual* war crimes? - Andrew Terry from iPod

War crimes are committed by people. People enter scenes of war having been enculturated with specific values. Despite the best efforts of legions of researchers to prove there is no connection between the content of people's "entertainment" and their actions in everday life, the fact remains that the connections are there, they're real, and in many instances they're terrifically... more... - Bahiyyih

Uh, what. - Richard Lawler

Some of the best moments in games are those that make us uncomfortable with what we're doing. - aldenoneil

care to mention some specific ones? cuz honestly the article is really vague. - Richard Lawler

We should ban books on topics that contain crimes also. Maybe we should burn them. - Cristo

Bahiyyih, your assertion isn't backed up by anything but your feelings on the matter. Meanwhile, all the reports and studies that show there is no significant correlation between violent video games and real-life violence are backed up by actual numbers and research. Hmm, which do I put more weight in? - Chieze Okoye

We should ban The Catcher in the Rye, because apparently it makes people crazy. And while we're at it, Romeo and Juliet, because teenage love in Shakespearean novels causes teen pregnancy. - Cristo

It is worth asking the question, though - there's a difference between depiction and glorification, and we identify with characters in games and books. Books, games, TV, film all come out of a culture with its myths and beliefs, and in turn reinforce them (or not). But I see a difference between depicting something immersively and making it fun and a goal and giving points for it. If it is illegal to display child pornography in games, why are other things ok, like torture? We're weirdly inconsistent - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

As a gamer, I'd like to point out that I and pretty much every other gamer I know are capable of distinguishing between fantasy and reality. They want to turn an entirely fictional event into a crime? I know many people who elicit the same response from books as I do from games (since they are using their imagination to place themselves "inside the novel"), should we apply the same... more... - alphaxion

Joelle - which game is torture rewarded in? - Richard Lawler

There are two schools of thought: 1) Exploring things that are lawfully and morally wrong through fictional media can influence people to accept as normal and perform these acts in real life, and 2) Exploring things that are lawfully and morally wrong through fictional media can allow people to have curious experiences that release them from desiring to carry out those acts in real life. - Cristo

Of course, we could all adopt the philosophy that we won't do anything that we wouldn't let our kids do. That would stop drinking, wars, crowded freeways, and overpopulation. - Cristo

Cristo - I think there can be a third option, where we explore those morally wrong experiences in fiction, but don't have any desire to carry them out in the real world. I can kill a bystander in GTA, but I don't feel like doing so is a release of any kind. Has acting out violence in games offered anyone a way to vent? It never has for me. To release anger, I'd have to do more than push a button; it'd require punching a punching bag or something. - aldenoneil

aldenoneil, I agree with that, although I think it's more like 2b. I was trying to slant it towards have some benefit, rather than having no societal impact at all. - Cristo

well, wasn't there a study which found people watching violent porn in japan actually had a reducing effect on the likelihood of the person doing that to a real person? And, I think the only real reason why they're jumping on something like this is because it's easy, gives the impression of reducing crime while actually not addressing any of the core issues which tend to be far trickier to tackle. - alphaxion

I think "idiot" sums it up. Pick any aspect of his career or personality and I think the word applies. - Jason Huebel

didn't the POTUS call him a jackass? and doesn't taylor swift kind of owe Kanye for all the recent success she has enjoyed? - Morgan Haley

Kanye West did make people feel more sympathetic toward her, but she's already plenty famous. She didn't need his shenanigans. Although I'm not into her music, she's apparently on the quick track to being a superstar. - Jason Huebel

She was getting an award, am I right? - Onur Gündüz

Yup. Best Female Video. - Jason Huebel

But Beyonce's was the best ever. Kanye said so. - Jeremy (cropmarks)

LOL. Looks like Taylor Swift took home a boatload of awards from the AMA's too: Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist, Favorite Country Album (for Fearless), Favorite Female Pop/Rock Artist, and Favorite Country Female Artist. - Jason Huebel

beyonce's video was better, that's inarguable. - Richard Lawler

I have no argument one way or the other about who had the better video. However, my original statement about Kanye being an idiot is also inarguable. - Jason Huebel

Being an "idiot" has worked well for him so far. - Richard Lawler

Actually - I think B's was trash. But I don't like her in general. Good singer - good performer. Crap lyricist. - Jeremy (cropmarks)

I didn't like the song at all but the video was pretty major, I think she's good at writing lyrics, but the actual content of them is shit. - Richard Lawler

Alex Scoble

If one actor out of a cast is acting poorly, it's most likely the fault of the actor. If an entire cast is acting poorly, it's most likely the fault of the director. See Star Wars Eps 1, 2 and 3 for a perfect example.

The entire cast, Glen. George Lucas couldn't direct if his life depended on it. - Alex Scoble

We should try that alex.... anybody wan to volunteer?? ;) - Roberto Bonini

counterexample: V. They're all bad actors. - Richard Lawler

I've sort of suspected for a while now that most folks in film these days can't act. I mean you can give them lines to repeat in a particular situation, and if they're close to what they'd say themselves in that situation, you can have them say it a few times, film it, and later you'll be able to splice together a passable film. But give them lines like "Hold me, Ani. Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo...where there was nothing but our love..." and the system breaks down. - Ken Sheppardson

Incorrect, Richard. The one woman totally could and did act on Firefly. Perfect example though. V must have a bad director. - Alex Scoble

No, she was at best average sometimes on Firefly, generally bad. Also, there is no director (or force of nature) that can take credit for Morris Chestnut's inability to act. - Richard Lawler

Oh and the other woman is pretty good on LOST too. - Alex Scoble

I agree with Richard. She was a mediocre actor on Firefly. She could of done more with the character. Hence the reason her part in the movie was so small. - CW™

She was bad on lost too. Juliet has one emotion she can express, that one where she looks sad and surprised all at once. She has no other face. - Richard Lawler

You will never be able to work for the Lightman group, I'm afraid. ;) - Alex Scoble

You know exactly which face i'm talking about - Richard Lawler

Ok, this whole thread is firing on all cylinders, but Ken wins. - Micah Wittman

That said, V does definitely have a terrible director, at least for these first few eps, but these actors are beyond any help. We'll see how it is when it comes back. - Richard Lawler
