I wonder if this incantation works on social media sites the way it does in the ER: "It's so quiet in here right now."

Of course, in the ER, you can't easily block people who you never want to see again. If it really worked here, then all the people I've ever blocked would suddenly start showing up in my feed.

It never occurred to me until today that "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" isn't just a metaphor. It's actually practical advice for anyone trying to jab an object into a man's heart without hitting anything else, and without damaging the object you're trying to jab in.

Isn't it "The way to a man's heart", not "through a man's heart"?

I wonder if the orcs and men who fought for Sauron thought they were the good guys.

Everyone does.
- Alex Scrivener
At least the way it is described in the book, mostly no. There were a lot of people not fighting who were supporting him, though, through their own evil actions.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I'm always amused by imposing contemporary politics onto the Lord of the Rings. I wonder if Sauron denounced the Elves and Dúnedain as imperialists, or as enemies of technological progress.
- Victor Ganata
There is that neat little passage where Sam wonders what motivated a man of Harad to fight and die for the Dark Lord. Then there are the Dunlendings who were surprised that the Rohirrim didn't burn them alive. It's those little ambiguities that make me give Tolkien more credit than the critics who slam LotR as too black-and-white.

To Whom It May Concern, If I was writing a movie based around the current scene at FriendFeed, I would cast you as the big, evil corporation and all of us FriendFeeders as the people at the community centre standing in the way of ‘progress’. But I don’t write movies and, frankly, Channel 7 News isn’t [...]
- Johnny
"FriendFeed is more than a few noisy tech bloggers. While I agree that there is thick filling of tech and social media content here, it sits on a delicious base of personalities and personal connections. Over the 18 months I have been here, I have seen births, deaths and marriages. I have watched children grow, others fight cancer, couples fall in love and felt very real support through my own family issues. I have emotional currency in here, and I am sorely in debt."

Robert Scoble's recent words about the future of FriendFeed were meant as a call to arms by him (although that has just become clear). This is my first salvo...
- Johnny
Thank you for serving up this good food for thought and call for action! Here is a meme that might be helpful for the effort - while "FriendFeed: the Company" may be history ... "FriendFeed the Concept" may be the future. It may make as good a verb as it does a noun - like "to google" has become synonymous with search, "to friendfeed" can become the core SN function. Maybe some motivation for FF owners to guide their legacy to this logical conclusion.

I have a feeling I'm being gently shepherded to Facebook. The problem is, I use Facebook for real ife friends and family, and high school classmates. So I don't quite know how to make the transistion.

Johnny - I am new to FF (and most all social media) and arrived only due to the influence of a friend that I wanted to follow (a few months ago I didn't even know what "follow" meant!) ....what I found was an interesting, informative, less commercial site that I now go to numerous times a day. I think your letter precisely expressed the sentiments of most FF'ers new and old....I hope someone was listening!! Thanks for the great effort and I, for one, second that emotion!

For the record I NEVER have said that FriendFeed is in danger of disappearing. At least not soon. I'm not worried about that. I'm more worried that FriendFeed isn't evolving and will soon be matched by other systems (including Facebook, which is where Paul works now). Because I see that happening I have moved a lot of my time to other systems like Twitter and Facebook because I've...

johnny why do you have default permalinks? you can change them to the ones including post names. would be searchable SEO they say
- ffcode
If I were worried about the servers being turned off I'd stop using this as an aggregator too. Right now I'm bringing all my Twitter Favorites in here which makes them searchable (they aren't searchable on Twitter). That's a HUGE advantage to FriendFeed for the moment. But I know Facebook and Twitter are working on search and Twitter and Facebook just made a deal with Bing.
- Robert Scoble
SuperMassive FistBump to you Sir! Your letter said it all perfectly.

I agree with Robert.

My hope is that if they do match FriendFeed w/ Facebook that they give us all an easy way to transfer our friends over there as either friends or fans.
