For those of you who are fans of tonight's legislation, there is only one true response. Howard Dean said it six years ago. :)
I want a Howard Dean button on my laptop. CTRL-Dean - Eric
I want that as my bootup sound - Chris Saad
I knew there was a good reason that FriendFeed supported MP3. There it is. - Louis Gray

Blogger is finally abandoning FTP support, I understand why, but it means I need to move my blog: http://buzz.blogger.com/2010... ouch!
Gah, means I have to move too. Where to? #oldschoolftp - Richard Chen
There is always simply migrating to BlogSpot, but I'm digging Tumblr too. Still not 100% sold an anything. I'll let you know. - Jason Shellen
Ugh. This is probably the right thing for most users, but for me it probably means I'll stop using Blogger. I don't want my URLs to change, and I don't want my blog to be on a different domain from the rest of my site. From http://buzz.blogger.com/2009... I get the impression that that simply isn't possible with Blogger without FTP. - Laurence Gonsalves
This means I'll have to move my blog and client blogs too. This is going to be a nightmare :( - Emily Gonsalves
Yes, the suggestion is to do something like blog.domain.com but I'm not thrilled about it. I'll make everyone a deal though. @cw and I are in the same boat and we'll share our solution after we think about it over the next week or so. - Jason Shellen
Hi all, I know how abrupt this seems. We've given this a *ton* of thought over the last year, and have considered just about every possible alternative. That said, I don't want anyone to feel like there are no choices here. If staying on Blogger is possible (and I think it is), great. If not, we'll make sure to provide migration options to convert the Blogger export file for import into other platforms. - Rick Klau

Does anyone at Google have an extra Nexus One for me to try out?
Ditto. Just for a week or so. :-) - Kevin Fox
Ditto. Just for a year or so :) - Susan Beebe
Me too, me too. :) - Karoli
I'm on that bandwagon! ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Come on up to Seattle and you can borrow mine. :) - Joe Beda from iPhone
Gary -- sure -- come on across the bridge for lunch (bring Scott?) some time and you can have it for a while. - Joe Beda
Hoping Peter will have one for me to look at when I see him tomorrow. - Laura Norvig

Somehow, my small story on Blogger turning 10 hit the front page of Digg. It's a black art I will never understand.
Picture 5.jpg
Only my second time ever. - Louis Gray
Good thing I don't care about traffic or ads, for gaming the system might make me focused on the wrong things. :) - Louis Gray
You're just that good, dude. - Rick Klau
It's not me, Rick... it's all Blogger. - Louis Gray
No idea, Scott. I am not in charge. :) - Louis Gray
who can tell? the "secret sauce" is a moving target...that's why they keep pissing off the power users. I wonder if people still sell front page access for $$$ ? - Richard Walker from Android
Congrats! - Anne Bouey
Mazel tov. I guess. :) - Elliott Ng
Who is astorygirl? Is she a valued Digger? - John E. Bredehoft
Look here: http://friendfeed-media.com/843e457... Was Blogger Buzz hacked for a short moment? - Ton Zijp
The same kind of black art dominates the Spanish equivalent Meneame. Well, in fact, it is "controlled" by a tight and nearly closed user community who knows the rules very well and manages the front page news stream. - Jose M Pelaez
My guess is that the submitter is not a huge digg user, so the number of diggs required is much lower than what is required from top diggers. - Rob Diana
Whoa! - Charlie Anzman
I Love Blogger!! Super Tool for EZ Blogging + some Fab looking Templates + coloured Fonts without going thru the Programming Pain of Crappy WordPress!! Do U wanna Blog or do U wanna be a Programmer!! + Flickr works Brilliantly with Blogger - Super for getting some awesome Visuals into Blog Posts compared to Boring Text Posts on even more Boring White BG on WordPress!! ;)) - Billy Warhol

If My Data is Any Indication, Google's FeedFetcher Is Gobbling Up Market Share and RSS Subscribers Are Rapidly Growing...
greader_050409.jpg
greader_051809.jpg
greader_060209.jpg
In the last six weeks, our subscriber base has grown from 5,000 to 6,000 to 7,000 today. And Google FeedFetcher is responsible for almost 100% of the growth. - Louis Gray
Rick Klau of Blogger thought it was due to the Google Bundles, but the growth had started before this... although if I am bundled from somewhere, I can't complain and would like to find out! - Louis Gray
Forgive my ignorance, but what is FeedFetcher? - Jesse Stay
FeedFetcher is the tool Google uses to pull RSS updates, whether it's on Reader or iGoogle, for instance. - Louis Gray
So is there anything you're doing specifically or is it just happening automatically? - Jesse Stay
Jesse, I haven't changed my own behavior. - Louis Gray
You haven't done a "state of the blog" post in a while... - DGentry
@DGentry, you're right. I used to do them monthly, but as the numbers got higher, I got too much negative feedback where people considered it bragging (or worse). So unfortunately, we stopped. - Louis Gray
People heard that you tried Windows 7 .... and you went viral (again) - Charlie Anzman
Or people heard you tried Windows 7 and had to rush in to see if it was true. - DGentry

Would you trust your financial future to a company who can't spell "concerned" correctly in a banner ad?
Picture 19.jpg
Seen in an ad on a Reuters story... - Louis Gray
In a word? No. - Derrick
No. - Anne Bouey
funny:) - Igor Poltavskiy
Nope. That's ridiculous. - Aaron Hood
If anything, I guess this proves every once in a while I look at ads. - Louis Gray
that's pretty bad - BEX
I don't trust anything to any company just based on their advertisements. Adverts let me know of the company, further research lets me know of how the company actually performs compared to their competitors. In this internet age, anything less is just stupid. If you don't have time to research, maybe there should be a business that would research this stuff for you. Just talking in general here. I've actually been thinking for a long time about setting up my own research business for people. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
I think Louis is just pointing out a funny ad, rather than making a financial judgement for his investment needs. BTW: good find Louis. I see ads like this in Hong Kong often. - Vinko
The last financial institution that spammed me, I CCd every. person. on their employee contact list and told them to take me off their mailing list LOL - Mona Nomura
Id be more concerned if I was their agency... chop chop - Nigel Walsh
Apparently they misspelled their URL: surely they meant "myWelth.com" :-) - Richard Walker
Eh, it's ok. They spelled financial right. - Pete D
I can haz welth? - Mike Reynolds
lol, signs point to not a chance - Keith - @tsudo
Not really. Aren't they paying attention? - Rah-PM 2012
There are ad campaign engines (saw one at WebInno, Boston recently) that let you mess around with different texts in the same graphical ad and experiment to see what gets the most response. Your typo can be exposed to thousands of people instantly! - Bruce Lewis

Even if you gotta go bad, you'd choose the sink over rubbing shoulders (and heaven forbid other parts) with the guy at urinal number one. - Jeff Crites
You can't really fit two adults in that corner. Rubbing parts looks quite eminent. - embee
Someone really doesn't know the unwritten rules of urinal etiquitte. Must have been a woman. - Dave Roth
You guys are missing the obvious. This urinal setup was made for conjoined twins. - Louis Gray

Why doesn't the spoiler and side air intake match? http://youtube.com/watch... - nadim
nadim, this design pictured above was later in the show when they added new features like Super Pursuit mode. - Jeff Quinton
n/m. "This is one of the original vehicles from the series introduced initially in the third season and then re-converted to simulate the "Super Pursuit Mode" variant of KITT that debuted in the 4th season and was later used in the Knight Rider made for television movie (1984) and for exhibition and promotional purposes." - nadim
KITT overrated, I wanted one from BTTF ;) - A. T.
Man, gas hits $4 a gallon, and they put KITT out to pasture. I guess Turbo Boost got to be a little too expensive. Sad. - Karim
For me, it would be disappointing to sit in it and see that all of the cool buttons used in the TV episodes don't work. It would feel gimmicky. - Raoul Pop
+++ for Karim's comment! - iTad

FriendFeed: Being informed, Sharing, and Participating - http://www.youhavetobekiddingme.com/2008...
I think the biggest part is the participation. I've noticed, personally, that I get a lot less out of FriendFeed when I don't participate. This is spot on. - Eric Florenzano
agree. no way you can grow in a social media without participating (meaning sharing/commenting/rating...) - Ouriel Ohayon
Sounds a lot like what I posted back in May. http://www.louisgray.com/live... - Louis Gray
Louis, I'm sure I read that when you wrote it and that it stuck in the back of my mind. If it turns out FriendFeed does become huge, I'll give you all credit :-) - Robert Seidman
Robert - Friendfeed IS (almost) huge ... in record time. - Charlie Anzman
I meant huge in the sense of a $150B market cap, and not how much we love it. - Robert Seidman

I think I like the scene where they were pounding on the printer better. - April Buchheit
that movie rocks! - (jeff)isageek
Did it inspire you to go to Google, or make you question the decision? Historically, there is a correlation between my watching this movie and soon quitting my job. - Paul Buchheit
Yes, and also before quitting Intel to join Google back in '99 (right after Office Space was released). - Paul Buchheit
if you're on the fence about leaving a job, watching office space definitely makes you lean towards leaving. it's such a funny movie, but can be quite sad if you're in a bad job or a have a lumbergh for a boss. - David Vasileff
I watched it at least twice during my leave, along with another movie I won't mention that helped me make up my mind. - Kevin Fox
My favorite scene is the gridlock sequence in the beginning, where the skinny white guy is gangsta rappin - Thomas Gundersen

M&A works in much the same way that 14 yr olds talk about sex. "do you want to?" "do you?" "why do you ask?" "i'm not asking, are you?" etc.
