Try http://friendfeed.com/search... It's also fun to watch the embedded search on the blog blog post (http://friendfeed.com/search...). You can see people discussing the blog post, from the blog post, in real time! - Paul Buchheit

cooool - Dobromir Hadzhiev

coooool - zsafwan 

GREAT ! - Stanislas Jourdan

Eeee. Awesome. - Mark Trapp from iPhone

Impressive! Now you can save real time searches as embeddable widgets. That's just awesome! This is a massively POWERFUL feature. Thank you FF team! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Lol, you flipped the switch before the post came out as far as I can tell. I was searching for it and I couldn't see it. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Yowsa. Makes quick easy work out of social media monitoring, don't it? - Ian Wilker

YAY!!! FriendFeed staff rocks, that's all there is to it =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Congrats Paul to you and your team! Another one bites the dust! - Jorge Escobar

WAAAAAAAAA.. meta real time search.. love the concept of embed a real-time search !! Way to Team FF -- luv u guys !! :)- - Peter Dawson

Do you guys sleep? Honestly, love the constant output and attention you guys pay to user feedback. I know this highly requested and probably not easy to implement. - Frankie Warren

Twitter Killer! - David Schmidt

Thanks so much Paul & Co. Excellent work! - Leo Laporte

hey love they way they launched search.. espcially when its close to "Search Marketing Day 2009" !1 - Peter Dawson

Thanks Leo. Jim and Gary did most of the work on this one though. - Paul Buchheit

Track is back! This is a gamechanger. - Mike Doeff from iPhone

Track is back! - Christian Burns from iPhone

Excellent news. - LPH™ and his dog P™ from BuddyFeed

I think I'm going to scream if I hear "track" again - someone please define it for me - Jesse Stay

Wow, great work! - Meryn Stol

I stand in awe of your hackfullness. - Ted Gilchrist

Good work. Much-anticipated. - Louis Gray

@Jesse: It's a dead twitter command "track keyword" sends you realtime updates whenever the word is used. Think of it like realtime google alerts for friendfeed. - Daniel J. Pritchett

I'm pretty sure Gillmor et al kept calling it "track" because that's what Twitter called it back when they had it for a week. - Daniel J. Pritchett

On a related note, live embeddable searches mean that I can hack together my own FF embeds for the pages that don't have them yet, like say "comment:dpritchett" http://friendfeed.com/search... - Daniel J. Pritchett

Daniel, Twitter never had this - this isn't "track" - Jesse Stay

you guys rock. - Karoli

...wowsers! Very nice! - JA Castillo

The blogpost said they're working to implement "keyword notifications" Jesse, that will be "track" - Frankie Warren

Twitter's brought back track, it's just no one cares. You can now have updates by keyword on Twitter pushed to you, via XMPP, just like track used to. Gillmor says that's not track. - Jesse Stay

That's why I hate the term "track" - no one knows what it is. The way Paul is explaining it, as real-time search, is a much better way of explaining it. - Jesse Stay

I guess we're still missing the realtime notifications piece that folks want. You can shape the firehose to watch terms in realtime but you can't yet get it pushed outside of FF via email or IM? - Daniel J. Pritchett

Daniel, Twitter has that right now, but Gillmor says that's not track - Jesse Stay

/me prints up a few hundred "That's not track!" t-shirts - Daniel J. Pritchett

Killer feature. I'm watching news about Honduras scrolling by. Very useful. - Chris Baskind

Jesse: Oh, i'm with you... Real-Time Search is a better term :) - Frankie Warren

BTW, integrating this into my blog right now - Jesse Stay

Me too Jesse. Making a new static page for that comment:dpritchett search I mentioned - Daniel J. Pritchett

this is definitely cool and all, but what about API? We are falling way behind on feature sets :) - Tim Hoeck

It's like an alternative to watching TV, in a literary sort of way. - Ted Gilchrist

awesome!:) - m.0

kewl! - phil baumann

Yay! This is the killer feature (once it's in the API, of course ;) - Brandon Titus

I'd love to see a blog post about how this is implemented. Real-time search has some interesting problems. - Chris Lamprecht

I take it back - I can't integrate this into my blog until I can filter it to a single list. I really need an embed for "comment:dpritchett list:e20" except lists are still virtual in that no one other than me can see them unless I use the atom export. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Awesomeness! I'm loving this right now. - Anthony K. Valley ©

Wow you guys rock! - Alfredo

I am sloooooooooooow. But what/where is the template to make the embeddable widget. please? - Marg Uerite

You're right Jesse - it's not exactly Track but it's getting a lot closer. The old Twitter Track allowed you to set up multiple search terms (e.g. track iphone) and get those delivered to your IM with zero time lag. At any time you could type "track" to see what you're currently tracking and "untrack" to untrack something - e.g. "untrack iphone". There are some third party tools that... more... - Mike Doeff

Paul, is there a way to change the title of the embed? The long search string looks kinda bad. - Jesse Stay

Mike, Twitter offers that today. Gillmor says it's not Track. - Jesse Stay

Marg, after you do a search, click the "Share / embed search" link to get the embed code. - Dan Hsiao

Jesse, are you sure? Can you provide a URL describing this feature? I think you're referring to Twitter Search (and saved searches) which is totally different. - Mike Doeff

Mike, it's in beta and available to developers, but it's back, minus SMS support: http://staynalive.com/article... - Jesse Stay

Jesse, when / where did Gillmor say that isn't track? I'm pretty sure that Steve just wants the old track brought back, with some filtering capabilities added (the old Track didn't filter out blocked accounts). - Mike Doeff

Yay! Have been eagerly awaiting this. :) - Rick Turoczy

Mike, he's said in various comments. Looks like Track to me... Heck, it's even called "track". - Jesse Stay

BTW this is on staynalive.com now (look in the sidebar): http://staynalive.com/ - Jesse Stay

for my italian friends: stica... - Alberto D'Ottavi from fftogo

Jesse - you can hide the ugly search bar with a little quick CSS - it's <h1> under an easily identified class. - Daniel J. Pritchett from IM

Daniel, good idea - I'd love to change the title more than that though. - Jesse Stay

just a few minutes work and I have a FriendFeed realtime search embedded in a blog http://www.amsterdam20.nl (web 2.0 event) - Jeroen De Miranda

Yeah - Brian Sullivan

FF guys: we like your style :) --- way to go!! - Harscoat

I think I'm going to cry - Bwana ☠

awesomesauce! - Simon Wicks

This is a really great innovation, congrats friendfeed team! - Garin Kilpatrick

Thanks, Jim and Gary! Lots of hard work for a very cool result! - Anne Bouey

HhhhhUuuuuuGggggEeeee !!! - Harold Cabezas

I want to 'Like' this *twice*! many thanks! - topo

The first step in a storystreaming platform! - Kevin Sablan

Whoa. Wow. And Yes! Fantastic work, FF team. - Micah Wittman

Good stuff although should support negative operators such as I should able to search my name in the all posts NOT coming from me. I've tried "from:-username" but it doesn't seem to work. - Ferruh Mavituna

OK, you guys are wicked talented! It's kind of scary, but I love it. So what's next? Just kidding:) - Michael Fidler

Ferruh: you just have it a bit backwards... try -from:username instead :) - Ross Miller

WOOOOOOOOOOW. Friendfeed is really pushing some cool features out :). Friendfeed is the best :) - alfred westerveld

How can we embed FriendFeed search? - Mike Reynolds

Mike - There's a link at the top of the search just beneath the red bar. - Mitch

A box will pop up, take the HTML code from the bottom of that box. - Mitch

Thanks Mitch! - Mike Reynolds

Nice the embedding code can be dynamic.... <iframe src="http://friendfeed.com/search..." frameborder="0" height="600" width="400" style="border:1px solid #aaa"></iframe> - Mike Reynolds

Thanks @Ross it works fine now, love the RSS output. - Ferruh Mavituna

tabbr likes this - tabbr

Woo! So: will this cause a FF server meltdown anytime soon? - Tim Tyler

very good! - standin

Highly addictive--great stuff! I did notice that if you do a search like [google] you'll see dupe stories streaming by quite a bit (e.g. the TechCrunch story about Google Voice shows up over and over right now). Not sure if it's possible to de-dupe based on destination url a little bit more? - Matt Cutts

two months after redesign, we have access to real-time search. good news bc my preferred search engine is friendfeed. ;) - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

We are there, in the battle against Twitter - Michael_techie

Best search engine became better :) - Chirag Chamoli

I can't say enough how amazing this is. So, I ordered a bottle of real-time translation to go with this magnificent feast of real-time search :D http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah Wittman

Just to show what is possible now with this feature, I've built SteroidFeed: Go here to see it as well as download the files: http://friendfeed.com/lph... Latest version is 1.01. - LPH™ and his dog P™

It's amazing! - Lizunlong

I've been waiting for this since the new UI, excellent, thank you Paul and FF! I'll give this a play later. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Micah, really looking forward to having your scripts work in Chrome. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

This is great. Well done, guys. - James Myatt

Awesome :D - Praveen Vasudev

great!! - Mike Chelen

Wow. It took me a moment to even understand what application I was looking at. - Kevin Fox from Bookmarklet

37 more comments

Fills me with dread. - Stephen Mack

all the buttons at the top are so funny, it's like a puzzle ! - Jeremy

FriendFeed 2010? :-) - Brian Johns

Not if I'm around. - Kevin Fox

It's probably deliberate that they're de-emphasizing the application. That megatoolbar looks ugly and jarring, but you can see what they're trying to do, right? Okay, "Translate / Translate", "Zoom / Zoom", and "Send to OneNote / OneNote" are just silly, but I bet that can be fixed. The idea of having actions categorized, with a few popular actions promoted out of each category, doesn't seem like a totally unreasonable approach to managing toolbar/menu complexity. - ⓞnor

yeah, i'm sorry but that just looks awful. does. not. keep. it. simple. - MG Siegler

To be sure, the "Actions" category is lame -- isn't everything here an "action"? (Certainly "delete" and "reply" seem like actions to me.) In fact their whole categorization scheme is rather suspect -- "OneNote" is a category, really? Isn't that an app? But somewhere under there is a designer trying hard to make sense of an incredibly complex set of features. At a guess, they've built a pluggable system so that functionality can actually float around from app to app but retain some coherence. - ⓞnor

But at a higher level, the whole thing feels like rearranging deck chairs. The whole model of applications with a document view and a vast menu of commands that operate on the document feels old and strained, compared to a more web-type UI where the affordances are integrated directly into the view. - ⓞnor

Only 25% of the window is devoted the most important content. I looks like a ****ing mess to me. The vast majority of the visible buttons will not be used by most users. - Paul Grav

Did anybody notice voice to text conversion of voicemail? That is super cool! Now, voicemails can be indexed too! - Jigar Mehta

I'm pretty happy with the voicemail-to-trash conversion of my current system though. - Jim Norris

I find it disgustingly ugly, but personal taste is rarely a good measure of usability. One thing, though. What about people who don't like clicking, but instead use chains of alt->something->something for commonly used commands? I kind of missed Office 2007 completely - is that option still around? - Goran Zec

Wow. It looks like someone forgot to include a CSS file or something. Yes, there's a lot of functionality, but it's exacerbated by what I can only describe as a lack of design.. - Jonathan Terleski

Yikes, that's butt ugly. I'm not sure I'd have any idea where to start to get anything done. Somehow I don't think my mom will either. - Joel Webber

Why why are are all all the the menus menus duplicated duplicated?? - Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy

I like the "voicemail-to-trash" conversion feature :) Also, will Google Voice + Gmail deliver all those features? - Jérôme Flipo

I imagine that everyone on the Google Docs team is secretly rooting for this particular product manager's vision of Office 2010 to come to fruition. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) - DeWitt Clinton

This is a caricature of an actual application. It tugs hard at my uncanny valley receptors. - moo. bye.

This hurts my eyes. Can't they add another 100 buttons/controls/widgets? Surely there's something else buried in nested menus just begging to come out and play - John Koetsier

The Ribbon in 2007 is stunning. I trust them to get it right with Outlook. - Jamie

who signs off on this crap? - Tsega Dinka

and you thought Office 2007 was bad? - Yann Abraham

Outlook sidebar will look like Mail.app a lot - Ivy /composmentis

On the bright side, even though there is realively little space left for the actual content compared to the 2003 (pre-ribbon) version, they didn't take about 60% of the screen width and fill it with grey "whitespace" like... oh, nm. - Jim Espinoza

A salutory lesson in how to make a crap product even crapper. Why does anyone bother. 2007 was just astounding for its awfulness, now the MS PR is trying to make us believe they surveyed customers for feedback. I want to find the person they 'surveyed' and give them a good talking to. - David Eedle

I'm just getting used to Office 2007 :-/ - Amit Morson

Gag. - Victor Panlilio

You have to understand these poor guys at Microsoft: it's getting a lot harder to slow our new laptops down to a crawl. - saccades

We're still on 2003 here and I don't particularly like that, but this seems like some sort of unfinished web interface. That ribbon thingy uip there seems like a waste of space. - Johan Mellberg from twhirl

I really think the interface is somehow broken. The ribbon was OK in 2007. This screen has 0 interface improvements. - Andy Gongea

the UI is awful - timepilot

Do you suppose the 'softies put any effort into improving Outlook's pathetic support for IMAP? Or did they focus exclusively on pointless eye candy? - Pat Rice

So glad I have not had to use Outlook in years. This preview reminds me of how bad the interface design was and they have only added more brightly colored icons and options for 2010. Feature bloat? - Jackson

Voicemail will only be part of MS Office how many years after the prevalence of VOIP? - coldbrew

OK, Way Way too busy. - Marcus Beagley

Microsoft, as much as I dislike many of their products, is well-funded and has a team of very skilled user interface testers and designers. There's no way something like this could come out of there. Thus, I conclude that these are either forgeries designed to look bad, or one of the designer's children got hold of a template library and these got accidentally released. - Mistletoe Glen

OTOH, OOo's interface is also rather awful, but in a different way. - 9000

Every day I am teased by the Microsoft FTE's who get access to the dogfood versions. - Sean Oliver

We have separated Groups (the new name for "Rooms") into its own section, and we have renamed "filters" to "Saved searches" to make things simpler/clearer. Saved searches have simper URLs that can be shared, and friend list operations have all been added/cleaned up. - Bret Taylor

101 more comments

Nice - looks much cleaner. - Robin Barooah

Nice, better navigation - Nimaa

Our primary goal was making Groups more useful again. The friend search / group search functionality is now separate and much easier to use. - Bret Taylor

excellent, much clearer - Don Bonaddio

So the "Top Friends" option that used to be showing is now gone. Works fine. - Louis Gray

That works awesome with the "group" I just put together consisting of all my rss feeds from google reader. - James Ostheimer

I like this change. Also, I apparently like boats. - Ana

I dunno, it's possible to be an enthusiast but not like something. - Casey Muller

Thank you! - BEX

Thank you I love the new navigation. - Russ Jackson

We have also added Atom feeds, Block, and a number of other small missing components. - Bret Taylor

Organization is a good thing. Thanks and keep it coming. The subtle stuff will come. Color customization, etc. I think the main think is make it look dead easy, with the advanced user stuff just a little symbol or click away... - kilbuda

Much better! - Andrew

Thanks !!! - Eric Logan

SHWEET! - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

i like being able to statically set the groups it shows me on the side now. - rob friedman

Very cool. Much simpler. Any chance of being able to rearrange the blocks a la iGoogle in the future? Saved Searches were mighty convenient up at the top. - Mark Trapp

Yes, rearranging and theming are both things we would like to do. - Bret Taylor

I wondered what happened ! - LPH™ and his dog P™

Theming? Whoa. - Mark Trapp

Like Mark Trapp's idea. - kilbuda

+++ Thanks! - .LAG liked that

@Rob, you still can set the groups that show up by clicking on "prefs" in the orange bar. - Ana

Where did the create feed/imaginary friend substitute function go? - Brian Sullivan

@Ana, I just said I liked it. :) I didn't see the ability to change what was shown there prior to this change. It just seemed like a random sampling of the groups I'm on before. - rob friedman

Excellent. Very glad to see the "Browse/edit friends" link. I look forward to being able to rearrange to put my saved searches at the top. - Elizabeth

Nice, but I use filters (well, now saved searches) more than I do my friend lists. Personally I prefer it the way it was, although I'd be happy just to have filters bumped up some (I got a _lot_ of lists to scroll past). - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

@Brian, I dont think the imaginary friend stuff is in the beta interface yet, I had to use the old UI to add a few yesterday. - rob friedman

I like the new separation much more than old layout. Being able to rearrange placement of these blocks would be nice but not essential. - Boris Gordon

Better, but you really gotta do something about that color scheme. - mike fabio

Great work! Would be really nice to get the last modified time back next to the title of the groups. That saved me a lot of unnecessary clicks in the non-beta version. - Christoph Studer

Boris: Not essential, that's true, but extremely useful. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

rob friendman -- I am talking about the create a feed function that allowed you to create the equivalent of imaginary friends. - Brian Sullivan

I still think that the "My discussions" link under Friends should really be "My likes and comments", since there are some posts in that feed that are just ones I "liked" and have 0 comments, from me or anyone else. Would you call a post with no comments a "discussion"? - Nathan Chase

Nathan: you are right, those should probably not be in that feed. - Bret Taylor

We are still working out imaginary friends functionality. It is on our radar. - Bret Taylor

Nice. An improvement in my book. - AJ Kohn

I like it. Now give us skins so we can change the color scheme. I also wish I could put searches at top. - Robert Scoble

Bret: cool - just a little semantic thing I figured you might have overlooked - and something that could be confusing for new users. - Nathan Chase

Bret, you guys have moved the filters to the bottom of the sidebar. Can you please put them back to where they were? - Kol Tregaskes

I like separate groups. As for positioning - it would be easy to make the boxes draggable, so people can order them how they like? - Neil Saunders

anyway i can switch my account totally over to the beta UI? so any ff link i click on goes to the beta....thx - patrick

let me choose the sequence of the boxes - like "saved searches" on top! - Kishore Balakrishnan

Agreed a nice dark skin would be awesome - Kashif Khan

Can we have the "last modified time" back for each individual group? Anyway, this navigation is much better. Thanks! - Winston Teo

agree with Neil Saunders - پـرستووو

Still wish there was a way to hide the top and side bars for use in a widget style browser window. Till then there's always greasemonkey http://is.gd/rBrh - KyleHase from twhirl

Thanks, Bret. You guys -- FF team and product -- are awesome! - Eric Johnson

Thank you Thank you Thank you! Loving the beta and the FFteam's responsiveness - Keith - @tsudo

Why is this showing up in my timeline? It says because one of the people I'm subscribed to Liked it. I'm not a member of the room and I'm not subscribed to the original poster (Sorry Bret!) But I swear I've turned off FoaF every day and this keeps happening. - Paul Reynolds

Its enuf,men,give me more updated info plz. - kelvin from IM

We have more consistent terminology now; good. Now can we have more sophisticated feed-composition tools? How about one-touch "create group from saved search"? And how about fixing the "private group - standard FEED - public group" inconsistency? - Karl Knechtel

I don't think we need full skinning capabilities - just a colour chooser for each coloured element. Also, the prefs link for Groups is a bit ugly. I don't like magically appearing links. - Karl Knechtel

Overall, big improvements, guys. :) - Karl Knechtel

@patrick: every element of the beta UI should have a beta URL already. Any links that you click in posts are whatever URL is actually specified in the post. - Karl Knechtel

Bret, this is great news. I'll leave the cosmetics to better people. I like things as is :) - Deepak Singh

@Paul Reynolds: FoaF can be turned off? - Karl Knechtel

We just pushed a fix for IE 7/8. If you were using IE, you should refresh. Sorry for the problems. - Bret Taylor

Nice improvements, FF team. - Micah Wittman

Yes! Thank You! You guys are awesome! - Alfredo

I love it - especially the filters at the bottom (I use Lists, more often). That said, I like Kishore's suggestion -> let us choose the ordering of the boxes. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Very good improvement, but would like to have another box of favorite friends. I wouldn't mind if I could set this up like the groups box, or if it would just remember who I clicked on the most. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Simpler... When is the mobile version coming out? - Brian Kenyon

Well done. - Steven Perez

Bret: theming? Please elaborate! - Ryan Miller

Thank you! - Kemal Hadimli

It is awesome Bret! - Akira Kojima Simpson from twhirl

I would really appreciate if we could drag and drop items and boxes. I want to order all this. - Stanislas Jourdan

While the new sidebar order is good, I'm having fun getting rid of two saved searches which only bring up an "edit new filter/search page. It'd be nice to have some way to edit/delete searches, like with the groups and friends boxes. Still waiting for someone to give me a tip on how to remove those two links from the list otherwise. - George Hall (Australia)

George: Click the "Saved Searches" title, then select the feed from the left-hand side, then click Delete. - Karl Knechtel

much better! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

like it! only thing i don't like is that i have to scroll down everytime i wanna see my saves searches now... - Peter Efland

Peter, yep to me that's in completely the wrong place. It's the second most important new feature on FF (behind real-time) and it's now "hidden" at the bottom. I have a large list of Groups and means big scroll down to the Saved Searches, which I use a LOT. Please either return them back to the second tab down or give us the option to select what sidebars we have and what order they appear on the bar? - Kol Tregaskes

Bret, this is great, especially being able to see all of my groups. But I agree with just about everyone else, I'd prefer to have my saved searches above groups. There is still enough room to add subscriptions as well . . . maybe?? - Chris Loft

Nice change. Please sort out the color palette next :-) - Alex Gawley

I like it, although the name filter was better, I think. Besides putting the Searches under Friends, it would be good if the Groups would change order in relation to recent activity, like it used to be. - Alejandro

I like the way things are separated, now. However, I too have a lot of lists to scroll past to get to groups and saved searches. It would be nice to move the saved searches and groups above the lists. Definitely loving the beta, though! - Seth Greenblatt

Hmmm.... I still cannot edit a list created from the "likes" of my friends. The UI doesn't allow me to manage the friend list. I cannot tell the likes to which I'm subscribed or add/remove others. - Anthony K. Valley ©

much better now - Mahsa Z

A number of feeds I set up are showing as Groups. Is that right? I set up a number of Twitter feeds (e.g. "Twitter - Al Yankovic") for nonFF Tweeters. It's a little confusing since now they're listed as a Group when their settings are "Standard Feed". - CAJ, somewhere else

I guess feeds that aren't individuals are groups :-) - Neil Saunders

Alan has a point. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

separate groups section is good. now about labelling content sources rather than people... (would be nice to have this at least as an option: show user avatar OR show content source - then those of us who read by content are happy, and those who read by user are happy) - Richard Akerman

Alejandro, I first thought I'd miss "filter" but actually prefer "saved searches" now. Well because they are, aren't they? Makes things easier to understand. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

good point Kol - Alejandro

Voice chat in groups could be nice :) - Nir Ben Yona

Thank you! - Iván Abrego

I use filters a lot and now on the HP Mini I have to scroll down the window to get to the next filter I want to check which then scrolls the page back up to the top after picking it. I have nine filters that I check probably once an hour. The page scrolling is tedious to go through. Is there a way you could move Filters up above Groups either manually or automatically based on most common use? - Loren Heiny

Thank you! Navigating to groups/rooms was a pain. - amygeek

Nice Job, I like it. It feels simpler and will be welcoming to new users. - Poor Gamer

I also don't care for the name change at the top of the "Search results." The name of the search was better at least for how I use it. I can see the actual search criteria in the seach box. I don't need it in both places. Plus, when I'm clicking through a list of saved searches one at a time I often forget where I am in the list. The title helped me keep track. - Loren Heiny

Kewl! - Charlie Anzman

Love it. Thank you guys very much! - Josh Haley

"Atom feeds" are not a "small missing components"!!! :) .. as on abay +++++AAAA+++AAAA for beta.FriendFeed - CantorJF

Just noticed the new groups sidebar. Thank you! - Carmen

Seems like the green box should be titled "Friend Lists" (in an actual Friends list, I'd expect to see Joe, Mary, Bob, etc. -- right now, there's a pretty big disconnect btw typical user expectations and what's appearing in that box). And maybe the browse/edit should then be titled "Browse/edit friend lists". - Christopher Galtenberg

Even more unexpected is that when I click on Friends, I also see Groups. There should probably be another split, so we have Lists, Friends, and Groups. Bret, you guys are going to run out of colors soon! :) - Daniel Sims

And would you *please* give us custom backgrounds and colors? - Gaby K. Slezák

Karl: tried it, but it only brings up a new filter again. If one could edit one's "saved searches list by the NAME of the filter, it'd be easy to delete it. But your suggestion didn't bring up anything that could help me get rid of the two empty filters. Neither has a delete button. - George Hall (Australia)

Ana is a boat enthusiast? - Benjamin Golub

Karl:don't know whether my desktop wasn't showing the left-side bar, but late last night, I was looking at a list of my saved searches with the delete button active for all things in the list. Finally got rid of those two items that were only bringing up a search/filter page. That left-side bar with all listed searches is an elegant solution. - George Hall (Australia)

Dont like it. No longer can get Twit Conversations to show up in Groups.. only in Home even if I add it to Groups! - Greg

Hulu is making money Leo - Jamie

hulu = NBC + Fox, right? - Ken Sheppardson

yes Ken - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Hey this is a pretty good idea for commenting. What is this? Friendfeed? - Tokyo Dan

yep - Nick

Yes, Dan - Ken Sheppardson

welcome to friendfeed Tokyo Dan - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

the question is whether its making enough money to cover the increase in losses due to torrenting - Jamie

Whoa. On the main page? - Lise

I wish Hulu had more content and less restrictions, though its more the networks than Hulu. If all of BSG (mini-series to season 4) was on Hulu you wouldn't see me for a week - Daniel

just testing friendfeed - Matthew

twit 23: http://twit.tv/23 - Chris Heath

The UK doesn't need a hulu thing. bbci player... channel 4 after player (even if it does need to be improved). - ralphsaunders

and Id watch full ads as well - Daniel

@ralph project kangaroo would have been great... especially with Hulu integration (which was rumoured) - Jamie

target advertising - Daniel

I'd like Hulu more if they'd quit messing with methods of getting to my TV rather than my computer scren - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

if hulu is not making money then there is no hope for iptv - Zach Scott

Loving Bitgravity, would be awesome if they made an Android+iPhone compatible stream. - Martin Eberhardt

loving the kshep TwiT hybrid - Steve Gillmor

Ralph - there are several shows on hulu that I would like to watch that take ages to come over the UK - Iain

I guess Leo stopped using the Stickam comment system. - Tokyo Dan

Hulu needs to realize a screen is a screen, and it doesn't matter what device is feeding it. - Ken Sheppardson

@Jamie I haven't heard of project Kangaroo.. but judging by the tense you used its no longer about? - ralphsaunders

Friendfeed integration on live.twit.tv is great - Rod Bauer

Hulu is the future, eventually data will be a utility for me to do with what I please and I will watch what I want and when I want to watch it - Daniel

@lain what heroes? or...? - ralphsaunders

tokyo dan, the stickam conversation is still happening on stickam, leo sees it on one of the laptops - Chris Heath

TV advertising down 6% in the UK... Internet up 17% but thats mainly due to search. Display advertising is pretty flat. - Jamie

Heroes, House etc - Iain

Sheppardson > Hulu isn't the ones who want to restrict it. It's the content providers. - Martin Eberhardt

Martin: Whoever it is needs to get clued in :-) - Ken Sheppardson

------AD BREAK AUDIBLE.COM------ - Chris Heath

TWiT looks much better on BitGravity - C.B.

I can hear Calacanis from MAssachusetts..."Auuuudddibblllee..." - Daniel

I see two TWIT.tv threads on FF. - Tokyo Dan

@ralph it was shut down by the comeptition commission. it was essentially a collaboration between the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV... and the CC ruled that it would stifle competition in video content creation - Jamie

http://audible.com/twit2 - Chris Heath

I thought heroes was out on BBCi within an hour it was aired in the UK... i think thats down to the people who produce heroes - ralphsaunders

tokyo dan ... this is the official: http://beta.friendfeed.com/list... - Chris Heath

twacker hitted - Matthew

Ralph - I'm impatient though as it is a few weeks behind - Iain

same with Lost - Iain

Heroes is on BBC iplayer on the 'net, but not on iplayer via cable tv. It's bizarre - Ghworg

<3 Audible. listening to "On the Origin of Species", read by Richard Dawkins, at the moment. loving it. http://bit.ly/QSBOn - Martin Eberhardt

@Jamie, damn that sucks. Would of been cool - ralphsaunders

Hmm... with embedded FF entry, if you float over a username you get a pop-up, but it doesn't fit in the iframe. :-/ - Ken Sheppardson

sounds..... delicious.... I'll be here all week folks - Daniel

BBC don't have the rights for on demand Heroes via a set top box ghworg - Jamie

every place you want to view content requires a separate rights license - Jamie

Yeah the FF integration is very interesting. It makes the episodes searchable. - nautic3l

I love Splendid Table - bill giltner

How is this live FF stream with only comments on TWIT being done? - Tokyo Dan

@lain is it really 3 weeks? damn - ralphsaunders

Think it's 3 - could be wrong though Ralph - Iain

im so jealous.. lol - jplusa

Tokyo: Leo creates an entry on FF for each show. That entry's embedded on live.twit.tv in an iframe. - Ken Sheppardson

cool - Tokyo Dan

But I'm trying to see it on the FF site. - Tokyo Dan

http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson

Red Dwarf jumped the shark a little bit. - Matt Leifer

ff needs a comment button at the bottom of the feed when it is open - Zach Scott

@tokyo click the time stamp underneath the entry - Jamie

which is better 1080 p or 1080i - ralphsaunders

Tokyo - click the time stamp and you get only this conversation - Iain

@ralphsaunders 1080p - Martin Eberhardt

keep on clicking - Sander

Such a bummer. I cn't get on the live stram - Francine Hardaway

Ah i always forget, cheers @Martin - ralphsaunders

1080i is 720p in disguise - Martin Eberhardt

Yeah :P - ralphsaunders

@ralphsaunders: 1080p. - Daniel Rowley

Red Dwarf jumped the shark, it killed the shark great show - jackygreen

wow... ustream ~10+ sec ahead of bitgravity?? - Ken Sheppardson

just you - Iain

is there anyway to comment when you have real time pop up opened? - Matthew

Matthew: just scroll to the bottom. Comment box should always be there. - Ken Sheppardson

there isn't one in the popup, but there is one on the regular page. oh well - Matthew

the T word, no! - Daniel

It went down right after I clicked this link "http://beta.friendfeed.com/twi... - Ken Sheppardson " It brought the whole FF site up in that little comment window. - Tokyo Dan

those pirates - Daniel

hah. wil has the "crazy americans, always think terrorists are everywhere" -look on him. crazy yanks - Jackson Pollock

any backdrop/link to this story? I have no idea what they are talking about. - Jamie

Stopping people getting on the internet doesn't really cause "terror" though does it? - Ghworg

Lots of business relies on it - Iain

for the California crowd, it sure does - Daniel

They cut fiber. It's not just internet. Took down 911 service as well. - Ken Sheppardson

Story - http://www.mercurynews.com/topstor... - heyburt

weld ht e manhole covers shut ;-) - Greg

that would be poor design - Daniel

Ah, taking out 911 is more terrorism-ish. Didn't know that - Ghworg

John Connor was stopping skynet. Your Welcome California! - Daniel

well, doesn't affect cell phones - Jackson Pollock

Harden the internets? - Steve Durgin

Don't click on links in this window cause the website will come up in this little window. - Tokyo Dan

A ship can drop anchor in the wrong spot and take out a cable - Steve Durgin

nooo - Sander

Interesting that its most recently that we've been seeing more news on this sort of thing. Between the malware in the power grid, these fiber sabatoges, and the Chinese GhostNet (Security Now had a great ep on it), its certainly been an interesting cluster of seemingly related events. - Curtis Schweitzer

Do the MAE-West/Central/East exchanges still serve as the critical aggregation that they used to? - Ken Sheppardson

you got a Solid Snake stache - Matthew

Well everything can be disabled since you can not guard all of the infrastructure - Greg

the internet is more cobweb then web - Daniel

nice! i could see me noo on live.twit :) alright alright i know aim silly - Sander

my cousin mikie! - Daniel

"Mikeyy, he'll hack anything" - Matthew

:) NoScript - Sander

Clearly the terrorists are after Twitter too ;) - Curtis Schweitzer

thanks to Steve Gibson, tip of the hat =) - Sander

that's leo's standard pre-puberty voice tho - Jackson Pollock

Noscript doesn't help if you use twitter, because you will have enabled js for twitter is you use it regularly - Ghworg

Ya twitter is a critical part of the internet according to Leo - Greg

i was borred =) so ..... - Sander

He's a child. - Francine Hardaway

I think IE8 is ahead of the other browsers here in respect to anti-XSS - Jamie

thats stupid - ralphsaunders

"An open letter to the FBI..." - Ken Sheppardson

omg:p - Sander

knock knock.. - Greg

He might be brighter than you think...If he didn't do it! - pmclem

be careful making fun of a kid who hacked twitter - Matthew

who's there?? - Sander

who's there? - Steve Durgin

Ice cream soda - Ken Sheppardson

FBI is Mikey there - Greg

micky!!! - Sander

/me has totally lost confidence in twitter... i'm done with it... only send to it from friendfeed now - Chris Heath

Snake ! ! ! - Matthew

FBI @Greg yeah we have him :) - Sander

SNAAAAAAAKE?! - ralphsaunders

he's getting early to bed this week - Sander

Why would he admit to it? He's a minor and knows full-well that he's going to get nothing more than slap on the wrist. - Phil Essing

lets ddos him :) - Sander

h - Dan Moutal

ya - Greg

hey leo, maybe he's german - Jackson Pollock

If friendfeed had a way to automatically make imaginary friends for all your twiiter contacts that aren't on FF then I'd probably stop going to twitter. - Ghworg

someone here has to hack the confiker bot net and then ddos micky :p - Sander

ghworg, you can, but have to add the feeds manually too it - Chris Heath

agreed ghworg. or at least simply implement a full client access into the site. so that all of your tweets come into FF. - Jamie

I hear the sound of lawyer, writing down everything that John just said - Kim Landwehr

a way to fight terms of service - people have wanted to do this for awhile haven't they? - Xenophrenia

Real time rocks. - Wo

it's standard phising. did it in high school and got everybody's itslearning accounts. basically just edit all the /dir/dir/ to http://twitter.com/dir/dir in the code and implement it. change the user and password boxes scripts to save input and then redirect to twitter.com, - Jackson Pollock

hey, that's real name - Jackson Pollock

If you can read this, send help! I'm trapped inside FriendFeed Beta and it's hungry! - Daniel

lets see, what we can find in the code - Sander

i'm from wyoming - Jackson Pollock

cody - Jackson Pollock

Can't be sued for something someone said you said. - Keith Makuck

Apple *is* evil - Ghworg

phil; well, someone educated on the issue would have an argument about him and 3-4 others, not write him off immediately - Jackson Pollock

Apple may be evil, but it's OUR evil - Daniel

and the dance between yahoo and microsoft starts again, its like a soap opera that never ends - Kim Landwehr

Steve or no Steve. The person running the actual strategy and product development; the identity of Apple, is Jonathan Ive. Steve's entire success can be traced back to Ive' strategy and methodology. Steve and Jony talk once a day. He introduced Apple to the few products - fewer products that has been so successful. As an industrial designer, he changed the way Steve looked at products, materials, process. The white plastic cover of the Ipod, the scroll wheel click, the aluminium unibody. - Jackson Pollock

Beats me Matthew, one day they were, and then the next they weren't. I have to manually refresh threads now. - Bwana ☠

those 1st Gen iPhone users are coming to the end of their contracts in June. Its Palms best chance - Jamie

ken, i use the twitlive air app (still on stickam) ... i've been nonplussed by the bg player so far - Chris Heath

Howard Stern was granted a private viewing with Palm of the Pre. For an hour and a half he used it, and then passed on it for a Blackberry. He did get the impression that it would be coming out in May, but not worth waiting. - Jackson Pollock

What's the point? They're all to expensive for me anyway. - Mike Vierow

Jackson: What I heard was as soon as he found out the Pre won't support Lotus Notes (which he needs) he punted. - Ken Sheppardson

whats the price for the pre? - ralphsaunders

looks like the Palm Pre will come out at a $199 pricepoint - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

or suspected price - ralphsaunders

ralph: not announced - Ken Sheppardson

see $199 is not bad - ralphsaunders

*hugs BlackBerry Storm* - Andrew

Howard Stern got a Blackberry because he uses Lotus Notes and niether the Palm Pre or iPhone have great Lotus notes support compared to the Blackberry - Matthew

ralphsaunders: for most probably the "it's not an iphone"... - Holger Eilhard

;) - Holger Eilhard

blackberry are finished imo - Jamie

Ken; that wasn't it. it just didn't do anything special. iphone has the browser, the podcasting. Blackberry the lotus notes and the keyboard. The Pre really didn't have anything. - Jackson Pollock

LOL - Bwana ☠

You cannot resist the iPhone. Join us, give in to your hatred! - Daniel

Trust in the steve? wtf is this - ralphsaunders

I look at the Pre and think - the keyboard is too small. - Jamie

Ive is working on on-screen vibration to give feedback to your fingers. Matter of time. - Jackson Pollock

Sounds like Suretype :) - Bwana ☠

at least with the iPhone it figures out what I wanted to type - Jamie

@holger yeah its preference i guess. - ralphsaunders

It's funny how you can pick out people preconceptions and biases as they speculate with absolutely no real info whatsoever. - Ken Sheppardson

i trust in steve and that happens all the time... i never thought of it that way, but it does work - Chris Heath

I'm looking forward to the Pre in the hope it means I get a choice to make when I am ready to change my iphone - Iain

centro keys are tiny I went back to a palm 700p so I could type - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

I hate refreshing..going to irc - Bwana ☠

@ralphsaunders the apps, overall ease of use, etc. are more important than a physical keyboard for me... - Holger Eilhard

The pre is all about the web, the idea is to sync with the cloud not the desktop. A bad idea in my opinion, but we'll see - Ghworg

let's be honest. what made the iphone more successful than the others; 1. the design and interaction. 2. the brand and buzz. 3. the marketing and news - Jackson Pollock

what is the delicious url for this show? - Xenophrenia

i'm hoping that android will be mature in a year and a half when my iphone contract is up... i'll check in on the phone wars then and no sooner - Chris Heath

bwana your refreshing? - ralphsaunders

i don't think copy/paste in iphone 3.0 is a coincedence... i think the imminent Pre forced Apple's hand - Phil Essing

you shouldn't have to - ralphsaunders

http://delicious.com/twit/190 - Holger Eilhard

http://delicious.com/twit/190 - Michael

Leo the Grand-Mentor - Ghworg

and dvorak mentored Leo - Jamie

Let's hear a talk-up Leo - Jackson Pollock

I've never been able to figure out why a job posting site makes cable. - Ken Sheppardson

does anybody have any thoughts about Feedly? - Jamie

Let's hear Wil's take - Jackson Pollock

Would Leo beat up his hookers like the Sham-Wow guy?? I think not. - Chad Albert

We should all go to Amazon and give bad ratings to Monster cables - Matthew

Will hasn't spoke in awhile, I think he is having trouble hearing everything. - Kim Landwehr

Well talk to the lawyer, Wil? - Jackson Pollock

For years I thought it was Monster.com that bought the naming rights for Candlestick PArk - Ken Sheppardson

Diggbar! - Holger Eilhard

i download 30gb a day - Kiel Walker

50 gb get you nowhere anymore - John

it was 5/10/40 to start with - Xenophrenia

If TWC caps me that badly, I'll buy a air card - Chad Albert

He said earlier that if you watched twit live 24/7 for a month, it would only be 174GB. - Mike Vierow

$150 is ridiculous. - archaictree

Carbonite would have an issue with a 50 gb cap - Chad Albert

I think the key word is reasonable, I am not sure cable companies know what reasonable - Kim Landwehr

174gb great i leave my computer on - Kiel Walker

here's an article of legislation to prohibit these companies from doing this http://digg.com/tech_ne... - Xenophrenia

i'm on roadrunner, and it's fine for now... no cap - afaik if they change the plans it will only affect new subscribers - i'd be grandfathered in - Chris Heath

i thought it be more than that - Kiel Walker

some people can't afford 150 a month and use that much - Xenophrenia

How is IPTV going to succeed with this. it's an enormous roadblock - Jackson Pollock

I don't want to go back to how it was on dial-up when I had a clock by the side of the computer so I didn't spend too much time online and get a huge bill - Ghworg

Jamie: By definition it's bandwidth intensive :) Hosting = Bandwidth - Eric Florenzano

ghworg you did that? haha lo-tec :P - ralphsaunders

The cable companies are like crack dealers....get you hooked on the internet, then jack up the rates - Chad Albert

comcast is 200 or 250 - Xenophrenia

Limits cause people to be more conservative in their usage. They will be less likely to try new things, like streaming video. - Ghworg

Ghworg: Compuserve used to charge by the time and they had a big clock on the top right corner of the app. You could set it to kick you off after a certain duration. - Eric Florenzano

they are trying to protect their cable tv and prohibit online tv and video - Xenophrenia

Sure this isn't just a ploy to get people to lock down their Wifi? - Jackson Pollock

router firmware is the place to put the meter... or even better on the cable modem... then you could check on your account page for the isp - Chris Heath

$75 bucks a month is a better price for the top tier. - archaictree

jackson lots of ppl are locking down their wifi here... it's hard for me to get an open ap these days - Chris Heath

most routers come out of the box locked down - Jamie

I pay around $55 for 8 down, 2 up. totally unlimited - Martin Eberhardt

with all media going to the internet, bandwidth caps are going to limit a lot of what you can do - Matthew

If people have limited bandwidth, they'll put a password on the Wifi and force their neighbors to get their own line. - Jackson Pollock

they are having an issue with people cancelling their cable and keeping internet and watching their video online ... that's what they are trying to stop - Xenophrenia

Here's Jason's Ustream (not on right now): http://www.ustream.tv/channel... - Jesse Stay

It would be awesome if FriendFeed could figure out how to link an IRC server to FriendFeed conversations. Each conversation could get its own channel. - Jesse Stay

Here's a request; get the videos of the old episodes hosted. the best twit's by far were 21, 23, 24, and so on, and they were filmed but are no longer hosted. people would love them, but Leo is holding them back, get them out there! - Jackson Pollock

I like that the bitgravity feed lets you pause and resume without missing anything like the others do. - Jeff

the live twits? - Jamie

my favourite was the one after Apple announced the move to Intel. - Jamie

Jamie; if you read the twit wiki, I listed all the taped live shows, but many are missing hosting, and those who aren't are bad quality mostly. get them really hosted - Jackson Pollock

Jamie; yes that is true. However, early TWiT, the first episode with John on. (I'll check, but around 10) Leo played that interview - Jackson Pollock

wow neha is a fast typist - ralphsaunders

Yeah, you're not actually supposed to eat Peeps. - Ken Sheppardson

CAR SHOW - Ben Gold

calm down - ralphsaunders

I remember listening to them at the time. literally recall when John first said he gets no spam and I think Leo just died laughing - Jamie

My dad told me he got no spam and then i showed him his spam box :P - ralphsaunders

Jamie; it was a Steve Gibson - John thing. Steve turned off HTML emails and John yelled at him, saying he got NO SPAM what so ever, with HTML. Steve and John work fantastic together - Jackson Pollock

yeah John said he had this setup from a friend right? - Jamie

final cut pro is heavy duty - ralphsaunders

Jamie; he sends his email and runs his websites on a site called ComputerTime.com if I remember. Mark something - Jackson Pollock

had to go be a parent for a while what did I miss? - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

That is a loud box Leo - Jackson Pollock

and im stuck with a 4 year old laptop that hardly runs photoshop >< - ralphsaunders

Final Cut Pro a great tool - Kiel Walker

I <<< Student <3 - ralphsaunders

There's lots of good open source stuff out there, no need to pirate for the majority of the time nowadays. - Eric Florenzano

are they gonna use BoinxTV for their show? - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Photoshop is design industry standard... its kinda an exception - ralphsaunders

ralphsaunders: Yeah, photoshop and final cut are both exceptions. - Eric Florenzano

final cut is mac only right? - ralphsaunders

people might have my head but I believe Office is an exception too - Jamie

ralph; yes - Jackson Pollock

ralph: Yeah, but substitute Premiere Pro for Final Cut on the Windows side. - Eric Florenzano

Damn you apple! *shakes fist* >< - ralphsaunders

Premiere Pro.... hmm - ralphsaunders

ralph; get a mac - Jackson Pollock

Got some spare money? - ralphsaunders

Queue it up - Ken Sheppardson

ah premiere pro is adobe software :D - ralphsaunders

14% student discount at the Apple store - Jamie

I think I have £20 in my box :P - ralphsaunders

ralph; sell your pc. if you want to run a program like final cut, a cheap pc won't work. apple is expensive yes, but thats what's needed 90% of the time - Jackson Pollock

lol @ the Computer Answer Man - Jamie

Ha! That computer video is classic. - Eric Florenzano

uhhhhh that needs to be Leo's avatar - Chad DeHaan

I would build my own PC... I'm not stupid :D. But the Apple side of things I think is a bit much for me. It will probably go on a student loan when i go to uni - ralphsaunders

LEO: AVATAR - Ken Sheppardson

hackintosh ralph hackintosh - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

It looks like 1-800-BASH-LEO - Jesse Stay

He looks older in that pic than he does now. But yeah, that needs to be his avatar. - Eric Florenzano

yes ken, yes! - Chris Heath

I agree Eric... hes "aged" well - Jamie

Nah I wanna go clean from Uni onwards G - ralphsaunders

(Chris DeHaan's idea :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Gunther, no no no no. you'll be disgusted by final cut forever if you try to do it on a non-mac. - Jackson Pollock

lol that sounded kinda gangster "g" :P - ralphsaunders

except for EFI, you can build a non mac identical to Apple Hardware - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

You look like a male model - Jackson Pollock

I have a Mac, AND a hackintosh - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Did anyone see Randal Schwartz do Karaoke on Ustream last night? - Mike Vierow

uni has left me £18k in debt :-( - student loan repayments start this month - Jamie

http://i44.tinypic.com/2crucz4... - Ken Sheppardson

Jamie I thought you didn' - ralphsaunders

crap - ralphsaunders

I thought you didn't have to pay it off till u started earning above a certain amoutn - ralphsaunders

Gunther; until you want to update it; then you have to format. It's cool in theory, but it does not work. Every update breaks your OS. 10.5 is one download, 10.5.1 is one, and so on. you have to tailor the build for each version. doesn't work - Jackson Pollock

walt they're going to talk about the diggbar next week - Chris Heath

they give you a year... then if you earn above £15k you start paying it back. the more you earn the more you pay. I expect them to take out £90 from my salary this month - Jamie

how about when you tricked Stallman to sing the GNU song - Jackson Pollock

this is true Jackson I hadn't thought of that - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

If comcast decided to bring back tech tv with double the pay, would LEO quit TWIT and go back? - Ken Bernard

Gunther, I tried it, but it's not worth the time and effort. Buy used if you can't afford - Jackson Pollock

ken, probably not... - Chris Heath

Jamie wow.... £15k ... jeez :/ *hopes he gets spotted by design company halfway through uni* - ralphsaunders

I think its only about £30 a month if you earn 15k - Jamie

When does Laporte Courte start? - Ken Sheppardson

Ah thats not too bad then... i think out of uni (and this is a bit forward of me) i should be getting a bit more than that.. i hope :/ - ralphsaunders

15k is below poverty in London.. lol. most decent grad jobs will start at 22-24 - Jamie

also worth checking out; Dvorak from the late 80's with Gary Killdal talking about and taking apart an IBM workstation - Jackson Pollock

What a handsome man. You look like a male model Leo. Silver fox - Jackson Pollock

Patrick is like 25 there - Jackson Pollock

how old is this video? - Jamie

The Screensavers was such a great show - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

hah, Patrick haven't changed one atom! - Martin Eberhardt

hmm apparently " Average annual salaries for general graphic artists vary from $37,000 to $64,000." - ralphsaunders

Patrick looks very uncomfortable in that video - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

well yeah $37k is about £25k - Jamie

Link is dead - Ken Sheppardson

When did Leo go gray and Patrick start balding - Jackson Pollock

^^ - ralphsaunders

is that pat's car? - Jackson Pollock

Although my prefered fields + a few others "User interface designers can make about $86,000 on average each year. Package designers can earn an average annual salary of $82,000." ... although idk if I want to do that full time yet - ralphsaunders

I miss Kate Botello - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Kevin looks like he's 17 - Jackson Pollock

Has anyone tried iCloud OS? It's an online operating system. - Mike Vierow

www.instantrimshot.com - Martin Eberhardt

Jackson: I just don't find him funny. He seems like a smart guy--he should try to do a serious show maybe. - Eric Florenzano

Oh man, a TWiT meetup for Star Trek would be awesome. - Eric Florenzano

He's of the Jim Carrey school of broadcasting. But people forget that Carrey is a standup, just being loud and screaming doesn't work - Jackson Pollock

times like these I wish I lied in Northern California - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

lied=lived - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Me too. - Andy Wood

star trek. wow is that a fad i don't get. - Jackson Pollock

Syler is a creepy Spock :D - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

I think the world has moved on since Star Trek. The premiere of the new one will be a bust. Just sayin' - Francine Hardaway

I liked the Next Generation but thats about it. never got the whole Star Wars thing either - Jamie

it will be huge in the us. here, prolly less successful than a sandler film - Jackson Pollock

iWoz: I can't do it captain! It's not jailbroken! - Martin Eberhardt

Ne1 have a link to Icloud - jackygreen

i just googled icloud...http://www.icloud.com/ - Ken Bernard

Good twit & bitgravity, but why so many freezes? I am on comcast, but don't think they are the problem. Diggnation videos never freeze. - John Bunting

Them's fightin' words, I think ;) - Chip Duford

It would be just like me to comment on this thread, just for the sake of commenting. :) - Randal Schwartz

Randal: hah! - Robert Scoble

Better late than never :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Plus the show is repeating right now, so it's appropriate - Ken Sheppardson

This experiment prompted some feedback to Paul RE how they could make embedding easier. - Ken Sheppardson

we're about to go mac mini system at home - would love to hear your tips - and ps love the dog's name - given that I'm an Aussie by choice - love ya leo - Linda Johannesson

testing if this thread still alive. - Cliff Gerrish

Cliff: Not explicitly, and I haven't really noticed changes in the embed, but I haven't looked at it in a few days. - Ken Sheppardson

present. - Willem (@wim66) ☠

bout time this was created :D - Ryan

I will believe Eestor when I see a working product - Greg

xp99 mentioned that the boot.ini can be edited via msconfig - Greg

Leo, any idea why posts I make to my home feed don't make it to Twitter? - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Thanks Timo. - Willem (@wim66) ☠

Watching now! Great Show. - John-Paul Dickie

simple, embeddable, this post only link: http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Chris Heath

Even though I've checked all the relevant boxes, I've got the same problem as Gunther. Any ideas? - Thomas James

Thomas, I've had the problem for several days now - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

maybe it's on twitter's end... they have been having problems lately... - Chris Heath

Leo's FF post that created this chat has already appeared on his Twitter, so the system is definitely working. Just not for me... - Thomas James

thomas and gunther: have you guys contacted FF about this yet? - Chris Heath

expirimenting with some embedding. will this scroll...? - Ken Sheppardson

I sent them a message yesterday. I guess I can't realistically expect an answer during Easter weekend... - Thomas James

ken i'm on my ibook today (using firefox) there's not enough posts to scroll yet... but will soon if i make this post big enough, also, yesterday i was on windows using chrome (and the scrolling was working fine then) - Chris Heath

where are you embedding ken? - Chris Heath

I'm just messing around. A page on my own server that has the bitgravity player embeded over the FF thread. - Ken Sheppardson

Chris, I haven't. But then I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I've posted on the FF feedback room. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Experimenting over at http://www.kshep.net/twit - Ken Sheppardson

cool @kshep... so something like leo has said he wants for the twitlive page - Chris Heath

Gunther, try this http://friendfeed.com/about... - Thomas James

Thanks Thomas - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Gunther the link that thomas put up is the correct place to send bugs like this - Chris Heath

just submitted :) - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

so ken, once you scroll tot he bottom this embed does scroll, but i can only see the last 3 posts (if they're one line posts) - Chris Heath

ken, what about making them side by side... video on the left? that way you get more vertical space for the 'river' - Chris Heath

yep. trying that next :-) - Ken Sheppardson

let me know when it goes live.. i'll check it again - going back to http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... for now - Chris Heath

when will yesterday's gillmor recording be available for download? - franzstehrn

franzstehrn, http://gillmorgang.techcrunch.com is where the GG is released... probably later today or early tomorrow i think - Chris Heath

this is great much less noise than the irc chat - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

gunther, yeah but much less info too (i'm not sure if the signal/noise ratio is better but it is much easier to keep up that's for sure) - Chris Heath

trying to keep an eye on both - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

i'm not gunther, but i do keep trying to tab-complete names in here tho :-) - Chris Heath

LOL - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

just read an article regarding my wife's failed Seagate Barracuda drive. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Chris: give it a reload - Ken Sheppardson

ken, the embed is the same height as the video... still kind of short, but i get more lines here - Chris Heath

Just messing with it on 1024/768. Experimenting. - Ken Sheppardson

yeah this ibook is at that resolution... - Chris Heath

I hate "!important". Sigh. - Ken Sheppardson

ken... paggin-bottom: 0px !important; (el typo mayor) - Chris Heath

To have FF embedded alongside BG, would you constantly have to go into the code of the page to change the thread being embedded as the shows change? Or how else could you manage that? - Thomas James

thomas... it could be done programatically but yeah you're right - Chris Heath

perhaps it could be programmed to embed the most active twit-conversations thread at any given time... - Thomas James

i see you fixed that typo ken... maybe even before i noticed it - Chris Heath

Something somewhere should know what show is currently taping or repeating - Ken Sheppardson

something somewhere... my favorite ambiguous statement... almost as good as writing pseudo code - Chris Heath

updated the player to 600px. Seems to balance pretty well. Just need to get rid of the padding/margin/border in the bottom of the convo iframe. hm - Ken Sheppardson

NIFTY I'm on Your Page Ken - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Gunther have you contacted Seagate support since some have had the data restored free of charge. I was able to recover mine using a simple interface I came across on another website - Greg

I'm getting the drive, replaced under warranty Greg, I just want to make sure the one Iget back isn't bugged as well - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

out of curiosity, am I the only person for whom the BG stream (embedded on live.twit.tv or anywhere else) has never worked (or even appeared) in Firefox, but works fine in Chrome? - Thomas James

ken... it looks like you're setting the height in the iframe - Chris Heath

I am. - Ken Sheppardson

Thomas, I'm on Firefox for OS X and BG works fine - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

But the whitespace below the comment button is because FF sets the padding-bottom and margin-bottom of .entry to 25px - Ken Sheppardson

oh k because the turn around time is about 10 days for the recovery procedure - Greg

i'm not getting more than 5 px or so below the comment button - Chris Heath

Greg, luckily all the mission critical data on the household is backed up on my external drive - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

maybe 10px - Chris Heath

what browser? - Ken Sheppardson

fffx mac - Chris Heath

still would like to be able to scroll the posts and reply without having to scroll back up to the Comment link - Greg

Greg: like this? http://www.kshep.net/twit - Ken Sheppardson

bit gravity's audio is garbled. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

greg, you can... go to http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Chris Heath

almost like it's too high - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

ya that page seems a bit easier to use... thanks - Greg

Wish the default bg client embed client volume control could just be clicked on to mute and unmute it - Greg

i'm going out for some grub... Five Guys burgers... mmmmm .... be back for TWiT - Chris Heath

HAH... the padding was coming from the "cleaner friendfeed" greasemonkey script. Without it... this looks fine - Ken Sheppardson

there we go - Ken Sheppardson

that is brilliant ken - Thomas James

aspect ratio on the vid is crunched to make room for the thread. Need to tweak the containing div widths - Ken Sheppardson

Experimenting here: http://www.kshep.net/twit/ - Ken Sheppardson

Like the test Ken.. looking good - Iain

yes, looks GREAT Ken - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Are you manually setting the Twit conversation URL? - Iain

very nice Ken is it set to display real-time? - Ken Bernard

oooh goodie drunken twit :) - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

now for confusion lets get the irc at the bottom? :D - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

yes, it's real-time, with the FF thread embedded. - Ken Sheppardson

Is this a Tech Wine Show? ;-) - Jeffrey Bell

I want them to uncork some two buck chuck - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

all that needs to change for different shows is the iframe src. It'd be nice if there was a big button Leo could click that updated some "Now Playing" info somewhere, create a FF item, update the iframe src - Ken Sheppardson

has Leo seen this? - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

not in this form - Ken Sheppardson

ok, back in a bit. will update the iframe src for twit manually :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: very cool. - Jason Nelson

Dvorak is trying to reach Leo - k. chan

yeah ken, leo's gotta post an entry into twit-conversations first - Chris Heath

just finished some ham here - Greg

heh - Greg

hey - Mike Scalora

Great timing. Big day for FriendFeed Monday. I'll definitely be tuned in. - Rolf Schewe

773 more comments

Awesome! - Susan Beebe

Great! I may actually be able to catch that one due to the time! Thanks! - ursi

I will be in the air, unfortunately. Bummer. - Robert Scoble

Good to hear. A good time for that. - Thomas Hawk

Gillmor, is anyone from the FF team on your show this afternoon? - Thomas Hawk

My guess would be he's probably been tired since Friday or so, Chris. :-) - Ken Sheppardson

yes Paul Buchheit will be on Gilmor Gang at 4PM Pacific streamed on Twit.TV live - Steve Gillmor

I can barely hear what Leo is saying. - Dave Winer

Leo's spent the last few days trying to recover from a tricaster failure and has been tweaking levels on different services, getting resolutions reset on feeds, etc. The ustream feed seems to have the best audio at the moment: http://www.ustream.tv/channel... - Ken Sheppardson

50min till Gillmor Gang right? - Wo

Cris: yes - Ken Sheppardson

Thanks Ken. This real time thing is pretty neat! - Wo

Live now at http://live.twit.tv - Ken Sheppardson

Paul Buchheit, Mike Arrington, Scoble, Dan Farber, Andrew Keen, and Kevin Marks. - Ken Sheppardson

Mike says he's writing an article right now: "FriendFeed is in danger of becoming the coolest app no one uses" - Ken Sheppardson

Mike sorta declares FF missed the boat and won't be able to overcome Twitter's lead/network effects. Paul's trying to defend the fact that they can/should be more than one company in the space. - Ken Sheppardson

I disagree with Arrington - Bwana ☠

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be a short term shift en masse to FriendFeed - Ken Sheppardson

Has Andrew used the beta? - Ken Sheppardson

Andrew seems like he doesn't understand the beta. - Thomas Hawk

Talking heads are mentioning Twitter because it is a fad - Bwana ☠

the idea of twitter storing my images and video on their site gives me the willies. - Karoli

Half of them don't even know what they're saying - Bwana ☠

I wish they'd stop talking about twitter... - Adnan

yeah it seems like some of the people on the call really don't understand how the new FriendFeed even really works. - Thomas Hawk

I just brought my friends timeline into Friendfeed as a custom RSS feed. - Karoli

Bwana: Yeah, this is a whole lot more about how the standard market dynamics stuff than what FriendFeed's done - Ken Sheppardson

I thought this was going to be a "Twitter free" edition...I guess I was wrong. - Ahmed

I can't understand some of these guys because they are talking over each other. - Molly, "sorry"

Ahmed: You can't really talk about FriendFeed after today without also talking about Twitter and Facebook. - Ken Sheppardson

Hey, yeah... let's talk to Paul about this... - Ken Sheppardson

Chris: They have to go through the usual suspects before they can settle in and talk about FriendFeed :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Chris, don't take it personally. - Kevin Fox

live updating on the new beta really works well for this type of back channel. - Thomas Hawk

Ken : True... - Ahmed

This realtime discussion is amazing... instant realtime chat room! - Adnan

Mike is missing the standards conversation - Kevin Marks

Thomas, it's great. I did turn off the replies to Twitter feature though... - Karoli

Live blogging events pretty much changed overnight. - Ken Sheppardson

I'd love to ask Paul, will there be any chance to give people the choice for run-Time instead of forcing it onto people. That's what I didn't like. Leave it an option. - Molly, "sorry"

That's actually a really good point: "Celebrities aren't coming to Twitter for conversation." - Kevin Fox

Thomas: opening up an entry page (this one for instance: http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi...) works really well in the beta. It's like a chat room :) - Benjamin Golub

I agree with Paul, personally I'm not interested in celebrities and Twitter has very little appeal for me. I'm far more interested in interesting tech and photography and for that FF is far more interesting a place. - Thomas Hawk

Molly, just hit pause and manually refresh - Karoli

Neither is Steve Gillmor, for that matter. - Kent

Benjamin: Only little kink is the page doesn't scroll to keep up. The convo keeps walking off the bottom of the screen. - Ken Sheppardson

If I post a comment, does it leave the post input open and focused? No. :( - Michael Leggett

Are the comments to this post from Steve just an analog to an IRC chat? Looks darned familiar! - Calgary Guru

I love FF over Twitter. - Molly, "sorry"

Michael: It does if you're on a single-item page. - Kevin Fox

Calgary: Absolutly, but it's persistent, searchable, linkable... - Ken Sheppardson

RT is great for these fast-moving conversations, but if only the comment button was down at the bottom. - j1m

Michael: when on an entry page (http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi...) if you post a comment it immediately refocuses the comment box. Edit: Kevin beat me! - Benjamin Golub

It makes it pretty much a group IM chat. - Kevin Fox

yeah this is nice. - MG Siegler

...and when I see somebody say something interesting here, I can jump off an link to everything they've ever written. - Ken Sheppardson

J1m if you click the link and come into this post only, the comment button is at the bottom. - Simon Wicks

Facebook. ugh. - Karoli

Can I go slap Mike Arrington? - Molly, "sorry"

Molly, get in line behind me. - Karoli

Molly: Ask Kevin to. - Ken Sheppardson

FriendFeed pro tip: once on an entry page (http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi...) click on the entry timestamp again :) - Benjamin Golub

Mike was pretty hilarious at the FF demo on Friday. He was wandering around the office looking at whiteboards and stuff... - Ken Sheppardson

Why should I use FriendFeed when I'm happy on Twitter? <-- Use Twitter. Duh. - Bwana ☠

Facebook's UGI is crap now, but I still use it. :) - Molly, "sorry"

Benjamin: That's sweet! - Sam Grover

Thanks Benjamin - Phil Maxwell

oops UI not UGI - Molly, "sorry"

I like the way these comments are turning into an irc room - Kevin Marks

Twitter is a broadcasting channel now. The real exchange of ideas is going to be here. - Ken Sheppardson

FriendFeed has photos, Twitter does not, I think that's huge right there and very disruptive. - Thomas Hawk

oh, that's very cool Benjamin - Karoli

FF is good for the conversation. - Molly, "sorry"

I think with the feedback FF is getting, they will improve their UI. - Molly, "sorry"

Friendfeed is pretty cool with the update. - Paul L. McCord Jr.

It's lots of things. It's adaptable. It's sorta infinitely extensible. The trick is making it simple at the same time. - Ken Sheppardson

Paul seems like a really understanding person. - Molly, "sorry"

The comment box needs to be above the comment stream so it doesn't get pushed of the bottom of the window if a couple of people post comments while you're typing. - Phil Maxwell

Kevin: Ask what FF's runway looks like, will ya? - Ken Sheppardson

Can't wait to hear it. When will it post to the web. - Tom Parish

I am not giving Twitter or Facebook my content. They keep it - Karoli

It would be interesting to pick any two: FriendFeed, Facebook, or Twitter, and assign those two arbitrary user counts where one had 10x the other, and then try to make the argument of how the underdog was doomed, or would eclipse the larger site. - Kevin Fox

I can't understand why it's always a choice between FriendFeed or Twitter and not a choice between Facebook or Twitter. Boggles my mind - Bwana ☠

When FriendFeed will tip: When people get sick of duplicating themselves across FB, Twitter, Flickr, Disqus, BackType, etc. - Karoli

There are tautological arguments. Twitter is superior to Friendfeed because it's simple, but Facebook is superior to Twitter because it has more functionality. - Kevin Fox

I don't think a direct 1-to-1 comparison of users is fair. Does a twitter user have the same value as a FF user under all the possible monitization schemes you can imagine? - Ken Sheppardson

*sarcastic tone* Yeah get Paul off the line so we can trash FF. *rolls eyes* - Molly, "sorry"

FF is far superior to either for two simple reasons. 1. It's far better for conversations. 2. Visual representation is significant and in many ways can be more relevant than text alone. - Thomas Hawk

I prefer friendfeed over twitter because it allows a conversation to beuch less fragmented. I can see the whole conversation rather than having to jump all over the place to pick up what is being said. Twitter is one on one im and not the group chat I prefer - Iain

Scoble speaks truth. - Bwana ☠

The most telling argument is probably that this dicussion we're having here simply couldn't happen on Twitter as it currently exists. - Kevin Fox

@Kevin @Bravada Agreed! Discussion here is much easier to follow than on Twitter - Pat Hawks

Scoble rocks - Molly, "sorry"

I'm on the call and reading this - Kevin Marks

nice. hi Kevin. - Thomas Hawk

Hi Kevin :) - Molly, "sorry"

Kevin: Hi! Are you reading via the entry page (http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi...)? - Benjamin Golub

Much better than the 'real chat rooms' - Amyloo

Mike has a very typical biz/VC approach to this it seems. Sorta limits the scope of what one sees it seems. - Ken Sheppardson

We have real-time web around a real-time video show... - Bwana ☠

When Paul says multiple services converging... does that mean he sees friendfeed, facebook and twitter eventually having the same functionality? - Adnan

Adnon: No, it means he sees interoperability and a free flow of data between them. - Ken Sheppardson

Adnan, since Facebook seems to copy everything FriendFeed does anyway... :) - Karoli

Back in my day, we called this IRC... kinda cool it's on the web now - Bwana ☠

"Why would you want a private room?" Because some people have friends in real life that they want to share with and not worry about random people on the internets messing it up - Pat Hawks

Bwana: And we can search it, link to it, hop off form it into peoples' other stuff, etc. - Ken Sheppardson

Well, I'm off. Bye :) - Molly, "sorry"

Bwana, on the web and going out to anyone who follows you if you want it to. - Karoli

Someone should get Scoble in this thread. - Thomas Hawk

Scoble speaks for the drunken folk. yay! - Bwana ☠

Kevin: Suggest Andrew actually try it, will ya? - Ken Sheppardson

yes Kevin it would be great to let the others on the call know that this is going on. - Thomas Hawk

Beta tweak: Put a comment link a the bottom of an active thread. I keep having to scroll up to get the comment box to come back up :) - Bwana ☠

Bwana: go directly to the item. It expands automatically, and you always have a comment box open: http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi... - Ken Sheppardson

Bwana, are you on the permalinked (and beta) page of this thread? If so, I think the box should always show. - Philipp Lenssen

Oh ok, I was on Steve's page - Bwana ☠

IM should be a component of Twitter, except that they don't give a shit about their users. - Karoli

Is friendfeed doing anything with opensocial? - Adnan

I think FriendFeed might kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia - MG Siegler

Chris: Some folks on this call (e.g. Steve) think email's dying, yes. - Ken Sheppardson

I hate email. I like FF direct messaging. - Thomas Hawk

Compare this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/search... to this: http://search.twitter.com/search... Which is actually more meaningful? - Kevin Fox

Chris White: maybe that's why Twitter removed their IM functionality? - Phil Maxwell

Friend feed is all about the databasing and the search!! - Ed Dale

@Kevin Yes! FriendFeed search ftw - Pat Hawks

Because you're using it Leo LOL - Bwana ☠

Adnan: Matt Cutts and Paul were talking about OpenSocial last Friday night... keep your eyes open. - Ken Sheppardson

On Twitter, I know 50 people are telling other people to listen to Gillmore Gang. On Friendfeed there are several active conversations in realtime *about* the things that are being discussed on the show right now. - Kevin Fox

Kevin: perfect example - Bwana ☠

The search is the most powerful I've seen, particularly when it starts updating in real time - Karoli

Which is why I'm so excited about Filters - Bwana ☠

My company uses friendfeed as a group repository for niches we are researching - fully searchable - people can comment and it's permanent - Ed Dale

ken: I was in the middle of watching scobles video of the event when the gillmorgang started... :) - Adnan

Kevin Fox: Would be nice if there were someway to know/see what other convos are going. - Ken Sheppardson

bwana: I can't wait till when they make filters realtime! - Adnan

twitter is broadcast - friendfeed is a destination - Ed Dale

Not *everybody* uses Google, but they're doing all right - Pat Hawks

Adnan: It was after the demo, over a beer. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken Sheppardson: That's what I linked to: http://beta.friendfeed.com/search... - Kevin Fox

Google at one point was far smaller than Yahoo. And then Google came along with better tech. Sometimes you actually can build a better mousetrap. - Thomas Hawk

Adnan: seriously - Bwana ☠

It's a search for "Gillmor Gang' entries with more than 5 comments. - Kevin Fox

Leo speaks for the common man - Bwana ☠

Aha... cool. I've been trying to funnel everybody here. :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Mike is wrong about network effects and disruption. - Kevin Marks

friendfeed needs an api period - not what they are currently calling an api - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Some superset of the Twitter API, yes - Ken Sheppardson

the trouble with twitter is the follow you follow me problem - by making it to "rude" not to follow people - they create a mess - Ed Dale

I agree with those who say the API for FF needs to be more robust. Developers won't build if they don't get an API they can work with. - Karoli

yes, follow too many people on twitter it's a total mess. FriendFeed is far more manageable. - Thomas Hawk

let him finish a sentence, mike - Ken Sheppardson

not true @chris White - anyone can send you an @ message - Ed Dale

Scoble and Mike, like a married couple :) - Simon Wicks

FF is vastly superior for realtime search. - Thomas Hawk

it isn't real time search, Mike. it's TRACK - Karoli

The metadata's much, much richer on FF than Twitter. - Ken Sheppardson

with the real time push, it becomes track - Karoli

I gree with that - - Ed Dale

impossible - Ed Dale

Thomas: Agreed! Robert really has a point... even Arrington agrees! realtime search is important. - Adnan

This real-time chat is one of the reasons why FF new UI is so much relevant - Martin Añazco

Martin - But it's tooo faaaaaaaast </whine> :P - Bwana ☠

Likes are much richer than Favorites - Ken Sheppardson

Bwana, you crack me up. - Kevin Fox

this chat is excellent. - Ed Dale

see how this realtime is limited to this thread....Guess what else can do that... LISTS!! - Bwana ☠

friendfeed has metadata because they don't strip it from the incoming sources - twitter strips all of it but the source and the 140 characters - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Lists of comments provide much more semantic connectivity than @ signs on Twitter - Ken Sheppardson

@Bwana we will get use to it or find better ways to use it. It's just day 1 on this. - Martin Añazco

someone in the chat room just said short statement metadata is useless. LOL. - Karoli

Martin - yup you're right - Bwana ☠

hang with the hashtags, then - Karoli

Likes are the new retweets - Karoli

Scoble is a FFholic!! best ever.. - Ahmed

oh dear the meta data of likes and comments alone is immense for the search engine - Ed Dale

He said Plurk!! hahah - Bwana ☠

If this permalinked thread is IRC, then I would want the comment box to always be scrolled into sight/ be at the bottom, tho. - Philipp Lenssen

Twitter and FF can and will coexist. - Pat Hawks

Yeah, Laconica/Jaiku are the biggest losers here. - Ken Sheppardson

Philipp, agree. frustrating to keep having to retrieve the comment box. - Karoli

Philip it is here: http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi... - Bwana ☠

Robert just nailed it. - Thomas Hawk

Yes. Needles out of the haystack ftw - Pat Hawks

Ken, why isn't there a bridge into Laconica like there is to Twitter? - Karoli

That's why they're shutting him up Thomas - Bwana ☠

Right on Scoble!! - Ed Dale

You have all the same friends you had yesterday, you just see them now. You're just seeing everything you used to miss. - Ken Sheppardson

Robert is on top of it tonight - Bwana ☠

Mike Arrington is an asshole today. - Karoli

Mike! See this forum! THIS IS WHY! - Pat Hawks

@Karoli only today? - Ahmed

Karoli: You mean a little checkbox to post to Identica? Because nobody uses Identica. - Ken Sheppardson

I just realized..my FriendFeed stats are going to be weird this month... Steve Gillmor will be my #1 guy - Bwana ☠

Bwana: He has to be to deal with Mike. - Ken Sheppardson

@Ahmed I was hoping someone would say that. - Karoli

Scoble's really on today. Making very good points. - Thomas Hawk

Bwana, that is where I am, but old comments perhaps should be pushed away by new comments... right now, new comments push away the comment box instead. - Philipp Lenssen

Here it is again...Explain again Robert lol - Bwana ☠

if you have comments and likes!! you can filter!!!!! - Ed Dale

Scoble knows how FF works far more than Arrington does. - Thomas Hawk

meta data is sadly not a celebrity word :-) - Ed Dale

Ken...but still, what if we want to communicate from FF. I have to leave to reply, can't send likes there. Even if it's not huge, it would center everything on FF - Karoli

Scobles been put on the spot so many times, he's improved all his arguments over time! :) - Adnan

SOMEBODY get this link in front of Mike! - Pat Hawks

Ed - Let's make a cute name for it.. "Meta Meta" or "MoMeta" - Bwana ☠

I like how the company founder just sits back and let's Scoble explain stuff. Robert is FriendFeed's "Goose", re the Top Gun analogy earlier today. - Ken Sheppardson

@Karoli I think he is just on the show to make people angry... - Ahmed

Fluffy kitten meta - Ed Dale

also group messaging, Filters... - Ken Sheppardson

how do I make a filter of only this comment stream? (sorry if it's a stupid question) - Michael Breslin

FF = the dream of social search realized. Twitter = one big search mess. - Thomas Hawk

DITTO SCOBLE!!! - Ed Dale

awkward silence of "I'm right you're wrong" - Bwana ☠

Fuck you, Mike Arrington. Just sayin'. - Karoli

sorry about the ditto! - Ed Dale

:) - Thomas Hawk

but its searchable!!!! - Ed Dale

This could never happen on Twitter. - Thomas Hawk

its permanent!!! - Ed Dale

And you can search it later, link to other stuff, etc. - Ken Sheppardson

Michael, as a workaround, perhaps you can search for this guid and add the search as filter 579630c9-3f6c-4e9e-a8ec-4e91a52d9f91 - Philipp Lenssen

Let that become Arrington metadata. I've been saying that to myself forever - Karoli

Just today :) - Kent

If other companies start pumping their activities into twitter and if they get to critical mass, does that nuke FriendFeed? - Angus Logan

you cant save IRS ...easily - Ed Dale

We have this thread as proof when Arrington says he was behind FF all along when it becomes big - Bwana ☠

YES! - Pat Hawks

Yes, Michael - Ken Sheppardson

Ahmed, he's succeeding. - Karoli

:) - Bwana ☠

haha. yes. - Thomas Hawk

pretty much - Ed Dale

Yes, you broke the embargo... Jerk. - Bwana ☠

I love you! - Bwana ☠

I HATE you too. - Bwana ☠

wow..who likes Arrington...really? - Ahmed

Arrington should join this chat. - Thomas Hawk

Gmail has all your email. Next argument. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken wins again - Bwana ☠

and google has all its data on their site!! - Ed Dale

Angus, how is Friendfeed nuked? Given that Twitter's feed can come to FF, I'd think the superior search would hose Twitter - Karoli

uhhh... now we are worried about silos... but we aren't worried about it when we talk about twitter? - Adnan

Ken, I have all my email. GMail holds it in the cloud, but it's all stored here, too. - Karoli

Twitter is limited...FF is the future! - Ahmed

I'd rather have the guy who came up with "don't be evil" managing the conversation on his site than trusting it to Twitter. just sayin'. - Thomas Hawk

I think of the Big Three, FriendFeed is the most likely to build embeddable services that let publishers brand their conversations. - Ken Sheppardson

its certainly not either/or - Ed Dale

It's here! - Chris Baskind

It's RIGHT HERE. - Trevor Childs

WE ARE HERE :) - Ahmed

Too bad Mike doesn't listen to women. he'd have the link to the chat room now. - Karoli

*Waves to Mike* - Ken Sheppardson

too much scrolling - Maxine Appleby

and you can search for it - Ed Dale

Philipp, thanks, seems to work. - Michael Breslin

Somebody tell mike to search for "arrington comments: 200" - Ken Sheppardson

You're not good at all sir - Bwana ☠

com'on now, it's right here..my 14 year old bro can find it! - Ahmed

I found it! - Randy Archer

"It's right there at the top" :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Hi. Welcome to your doom - Bwana ☠

he's found it. - Thomas Hawk

Hi, Mike - Ken Sheppardson

Hi Mike. - Thomas Hawk

Click on the timestamp - Ken Sheppardson

What has science done?! - iluvgimp

Here it is again!! - Jeff

Listening (and viewing) the discussion in real time is amazing. - Henry Burger

found it, finally, eh? - Karoli

Does this thing auto scroll for us as well? (my entry box has just scrolled off the screen!) I guess not. - Viran

GamersCircle Comics was here - Andy Wood

Somebody tell mike to search for "arrington comments: 200" - great point - Ed Dale

this could never happen on Twitter. - Thomas Hawk

LOL blais - Bwana ☠

it isn't a chat room... it is a conversation - Brian Roy

the scroll issue needs to be fixed. hate my comment box rolling out of sight - Karoli

Auto scroll would be sweet. - Pat Hawks

how about an autoscroll? Is that possible? - Phil Maxwell

why to turn it into a room? just click on the time stamp, it has its own page - Jérôme Flipo

And we stay on topic here. (mostly) - Bwana ☠

If you go to the item directly, http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi... it'll scroll automatically for you, with a comment box that sticks on the bottom - Ken Sheppardson

a searchable and PERMANENT conversation - Ed Dale

go here and the box stays at teh bottom - Amyloo

muahahah - Bwana ☠

I agree with Pat...we need auto scroll - Ahmed

he found it thank the lord - Zach Scott

http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi... - Amyloo

Real-time comment is awesome - Jérôme Flipo

Autoscrolling would be nice - Jeff

nice, thanks Ken - Viran

no need to get my 14 year old bro lol - Ahmed

the nice thing about FF is that there hasn't really been any censorship that i've seen. - Thomas Hawk

No. The permalink does not autoscroll... - Pat Hawks

I am not a troll. I am reacting in real time. - Karoli

It's not trolling if people would say it to your face, Mike ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Trolls are usually wrong...I'm just right :) - Bwana ☠

Oh, no, we bash Robert. - Ken Sheppardson

it's constructive criticism Mike :) - Ahmed

<3 Leo. - iluvgimp

Mike, I promise I don't spit - Karoli

Scoble made the most sense on the call. And probably knows FF better than anyone else on the call except Paul. - Thomas Hawk

block block block - Ken Sheppardson

Oohh also, use the scroll function in the browser, activated using the mousewheel/mousebutton3 and just set it to scroll to the bottom of the page, once it hits the last item, it won't scroll until a new item is added by friendfeed. - Viran

you're wrong! BLOCK! - Bwana ☠

Mike is just one of those persons that some people just love to hate :) - Phil Maxwell

Scoble has used the service a heap and gets the power of it - Ed Dale

+1 for Shel - Pat Hawks

Oh, please. stop it. you sat there and said FF would fail and a room full of people reacted . that's not trolling. - Karoli

Click on Saturday, which is a permalink and yes it does autoscroll. You need to go all the way down to the bottom - Rolf Schewe

OH Leo, don't say that please... - Trevor Childs

This is one of th few times where I completely agree with Scobel - Keith Barrett

Amyloo: How do you get to the link? - Nick in Manila

Thanks Leo :) - Andrew Smith

Scoble understands FF... mostly - Bwana ☠

@Rolf @Ken not in Firefox it doesn't - Pat Hawks

I've disagreed with him too :) - Bwana ☠

Rolf, the browser does not autoscroll here (Firefox 2.0.8). The comments do auto-push the box away instead. - Philipp Lenssen

Leo speaks sense. - Thomas Hawk

"mini-forums" will sping up where they are required - Ed Dale

+1 Karoli - Tony, Paradox of FF

Reminds me I need to cancel my Well membership. - Shawn Thompson

Yeah, in firefox the confo flows off the end of the screen - Ken Sheppardson

Good of leo to make nice with paul, so he'll want to come back... - Amyloo

idem for Chrome, Philipp - Jérôme Flipo

+1 Philipp - Pat Hawks

Yes. I thought you meant it was not real-time. Misunderstood. - Rolf Schewe

Barbarians being ... well ... actual people. - Chris Baskind

The ShamWow salesmen - Bwana ☠

I put my screen bottom up, so that the last comment is always at the top :D - Jérôme Flipo

But if we are commenting publicly how can we be trolls? - Brian Allen

Talent is not universal - Ken Sheppardson

Chris Baskind +1 - Karoli

I am using Firefox 3.1 beta. Same thing happens here - Rolf Schewe

I gotta say, the FF UI is not very intuitive. - iluvgimp

twitter will be fine if they get rid of auto follow - Ed Dale

It helps Hammer - Bwana ☠

Unwashed masses: The people that do not use leading edge tech - Keith Barrett

who cares about following celebrities. I don't. I'm much more interesting in following great photographers. - Thomas Hawk

Doesn't auto-keep box at bottom of browser window in Chrome either here. - Philipp Lenssen

Well Leo..she did stop a suicide, so she is pretty smart.. - Ahmed

Wow, real time increase a lot the comment flooding, look at this thread! - Jérôme Flipo

Oh, the permalink is on the date, kind of like Wordpress. - Nick in Manila

Trolls .. Blocking give trolls more power - Michael Holzinger

Ed, I disagree. The Twitterati lists combined with lack of track mean it will be elitist. that's how they want it. Like Google weighting toward corporate sites in their results - Karoli

Nick: and Twitter :) - Bwana ☠

Jerome: We're discussing the live streaming Gillmor Gang at http://live.twit.tv - Ken Sheppardson

awkward silence of "wut" - Bwana ☠

Sometiemes trolls are nice to have around. - Thomas Hawk

I'm on Twitter because my site's readers are there, too. - Chris Baskind

Chrome seems to handle the ajax in a little smoother way on the thread page - Amyloo

wow, this is long. I like the trend with FF. They just need to give me some numbers that will boost my ego and I'll switch over. - Nick Gonzalez

Chris: I thought a troll was somebody who tried to incite you into responding. - Ken Sheppardson

@Philipp Lenssen Same issue here. I need to scroll down constantly to play catch up with the ever growing conversation. Hopefully there will be a fix for that. - Rolf Schewe

Mike, this could never happen on Twitter. - Thomas Hawk

As opposed to Twitter. - Ken Sheppardson

MAINSTREAM users pay for servers and keeping a service up. - Angus Logan

you are Mike - Andrew Smith

And now Mike is the Troll - Pat Hawks

Mike's trolling :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter would get a reaction..we're too smart for that kind of bait - Bwana ☠

@Ken, I know, I'm listening too :S - Jérôme Flipo

Chris, exactly. so if you could bring your Twitter stream into Friendfeed, and reply from there, it's an invitation to conversation - Karoli

Mike is so much fun. ;-) - Chris Baskind

Leo nailed it. - Thomas Hawk

better than the junior high kids in the chat on the video pages! - Amyloo

Oh no..you didn't! - Ahmed

Leo, FTW. - Karoli

"I said that just to get a reaction." the definition of trolling. - Tony, Paradox of FF

Twitter = the AOL of Micromessaging. - Thomas Hawk

Agree with thomas - twitter is about individuals - friend feed will work for groups - Ed Dale

Mike would be a good agent provocateur. - Rolf Schewe

@Rolf Schewe I'm using the autoscroll using the mousewheel button to permanently scroll to the bottom of the page, give that a try :) - Viran

how many comments can a post hold before it starts messing up the browser? are their any posts with 1000+ comments? - Phil Maxwell

It's not Twitter vs FriendFeed.... - Bwana ☠

scoble's giving away money post had over a thousand I think. - Thomas Hawk

Twitter is a brilliant success that has not made a cent yet - Ed Dale

We could care less if Twitter succeeds - Bwana ☠

There's a difference between lots of people and quality content - Pat Hawks

MySpace grew at a staggering rate for awhile too - Karoli

and twitter is avery different service to friendfeed - Ed Dale

Phil, Robert had a 1000+ comment string - Karoli

Viran, I tried that, but how do you combine it with typing? :) - Philipp Lenssen

@Karoli ROFL - Pat Hawks

friendfeed will never be able to compete with Twitter's simplicity. - Phil Maxwell

That's like saying Facebook will fail because Twitter succeeds - Bwana ☠

Why can't Twitter, FriendFeed, and Facebook all succeed? Apple seems to be doing just fine right along side Microsoft? - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter is only a small part of FF. FF supplements other services - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Anybody who compares FriendFeed directly with Twitter doesn't understand Twitter - Pat Hawks

@Viran Thanks. Works great, until I have to type. ;) - Rolf Schewe

build in Friendfeed comments to your blog, Mike - Karoli

I will, however, refrain from repeating my FF/My Space comparison. ;-) - Chris Baskind

JaikuEngine: -) - Ken Sheppardson

I think in the future, people are going to hate simple stuff, they will need more features... - Ahmed

XMPP - Phil G

So how does the plugging of networks happen? Open Social? Why won't they talk about that? - Adnan

Yeah a comment button on the BOTTOM of the feed!!!!!!!!!!!!1 yeah! thanks for listening to my request for this earlier today!!!!1 woooo hooo! - Susan Beebe

twitter and friendfeed work well together - Ed Dale

REALTIME BLOG -- Try real time comments when people aren't on your blog using IM for the hundreds of millions of people on their desktop - Angus Logan

So we've went from it'll fail, to "I want this" - Bwana ☠

Ok must go... hubby wants BEEEEEEEER :) sorry to hit and run - Susan Beebe

Susan: Yes, when you're viewing an individual post. - Ken Sheppardson

I will crush the enemy social media and drive them before me and hear the lament of their users. - Moved to Facebook

smart hubby. - Thomas Hawk

i want transcript of the Gillmor Gang show today... :) - Susan Beebe

Bwana: I'm sure part of it is devils advocate/entertainment. - Ken Sheppardson

Its also very easy to subscribe to people here who are making sense - just click on their name - Ed Dale

Or good old fashioned two facerry - Bwana ☠

If the commenting systems go away, we still have the data. - Chris Baskind

Thomas - Yep we're celebrating! He finally dumped a client I advised him to dump MONTHS ago! my treat...LOTS of beer - Susan Beebe

I just made up a word - Bwana ☠

Mike throws stuff into Twitter. THAT is why it's better than FriendFeed - Pat Hawks

FriendFeed is the most likely of any of these big services to provide you with something that'll live on your system. - Ken Sheppardson

Who here is making sense? - iluvgimp

yes you did - Susan Beebe

haha funny Bwana! - Susan Beebe

stuff -nice word for it - Susan Beebe

lol @ Bwana - Tony, Paradox of FF

Susan's making the most sense about the whole getting beer for her husband thing. - Thomas Hawk

Daniel: What do you mean? We're talking about the live feed at http://live.twit.tv - Ken Sheppardson

how big will friendfeed have to get before kevin marks makes the move over to it? - Amyloo

yep :) I should should real-time comment how good each Harp & Guinness on tap will taste :) - Susan Beebe

having the data is HUGE. Twitter doesn't give yours back. Facebook? HAHAHAHA - Karoli

We use it for storage and search - create a room for a niche, get all the feeds in their and see what people like and what they comment on - Ed Dale

love you guys... gotta run... this is FUNNNNNNN :) thanks FF :) - Susan Beebe

http://activitystrea.ms and http://opensocial.org - Kevin Marks

Hello world \n - Ricardo Liberato

it's my default now - Amyloo

I'm never goin' back - Pat Hawks

KShep: I'm listening to the same feed :) Just making a joke about none of this making sense. - iluvgimp

People hate the grey - Bwana ☠

userstyles ftw - Bwana ☠

agreed Pat - Ed Dale

The summary: Twitter has already changed the game. FF could maybe change the game, but whether it will remains to be seen. We are still in the early stages of how this stuff works. Obviously, Twitter and FF (and dozens of other services) aren't mutually exclusive. - Albert Willis

user styles would rawk - Karoli

Daniel: gotcha - Ken Sheppardson

Is there a Pause hotkey? - Chris Baskind

i like FF beta - Michael Holzinger

oh Leo, they are not. - Karoli

@amyloo I'm mostly on twhirl, but this new FF is looking good - Kevin Marks

Pause button needs a refresh every X seconds option - Tony, Paradox of FF

Space bar should pause. - Jérôme Flipo

Like the FF beta : yes or no? - Ahmed

I;d like to turn bubbles off on the RT feed. I need my ral0estate - Keith Barrett

452 comments and no swear words or repeat spam messages. How is that bad? - Phil G

kevin, no, i meant go to work for them! - Amyloo

When you do a new DM...it defaults to MyFeed...bad..very bad - Bwana ☠

yep - Ricardo Liberato

seems almost too simple - Zach Scott

Yes, a pause keyboard shortcut would be sweet - Phil Maxwell

and fixed. - Bwana ☠

keyboard shortcuts period - Bwana ☠

I like the comments gray. - Thomas Hawk

black comments are a big one for me. don't dig the lighter comments - Karoli

Please, Kevin, ask for a "pause" keyboard shortcut! - Jérôme Flipo

themes ftw - Jay Neff

I agree, can you make them black? It's hard to tell I'm supposed to read this - Colin

THEMES! Woooooo - Phil G

Yes, nobody's made that request before, have they ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

spacebar pause ...should be simple to do right? - Bwana ☠

I think holding down the mouse button should pause - Pat Hawks

Phil, wiggling the mouse does pause it momentarily - Karoli

Theming would be nice, the pastel blue usernames don't show up too well for me :( - Viran

I'd pay $5 a month for access to CSS - Andrew Smith

Grey is perfect for me. - Jérôme Flipo

500 comments now. - Marc Dong

I'd like my comments to be in a different color though to find them. - Thomas Hawk

There are over 450 comments now. Is this a conversation anyone wants to follow, or is this evanescent like a chat room? - Francine Hardaway

Themes FTW! - Ahmed

I love the new UI, keep up the good work! - Jay Neff

It will seem weird without gray comments but I could live with it. - Mitch

whoa this is like a chat room when you get down to the individual feed item page, 10 comments posted before i could finish this - sean percival

Somebody suggest Andrew Keen try the service. - Ken Sheppardson

Search is EVERYTHING - Ed Dale

Francine, it's great in real time, and searchable later - Karoli

FF = social search of the future. - Thomas Hawk

no one talked about Filters - Bwana ☠

Karoli, but then I have to take my hands off the keyboard :) - Phil Maxwell

:( - Bwana ☠

very hard to scroll back to Comment link - need to be able to lock in on a realtime thread like this - jcunwired

francine not like a chatroom -- it effectively is one - Amyloo

It's probably a boring read, Francine, but perhaps a search goldmine. - Phil G

custom themes would be nice - Zach Scott

Bwana: Small steps :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Glad to see Leo likes it so much. - Thomas Hawk

Cheese... moved....RAWR - Bwana ☠

i'm about 500 comments late to this thread, but loving the new beta, on my mac & iphone. My new default on both platforms. - Jeffrey Marsh

Francine: it's basically the TWiTLive impromptu chat - iluvgimp

I'm doing a video tonight Leo :) - Bwana ☠

Jeffrey how are you viewing it on the iPhone - Karoli

most of the comments won't make sense not in real time - Phil Maxwell

Was a good chat - Simon Wicks

Is Léo looking at this thread right now? - Jérôme Flipo

I was going to ask for themes. - archaictree

beta interface works on iPhone - Bwana ☠

jcunwired: you can, click this link: http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi... - Phil G

I ALWAYS used the feeeds in real-time--wish the filters were RT. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

I hated the way it rendered on the iPhone - Karoli

will be fun to read while listening to the recording, though - Amyloo

I do agree with Arrington: realtime FF is nice, but is it the game changer that Steve Gilmore's post implied? Not yet--at least not for most people. - Albert Willis

"It's all about search"... indeed:-) - Patrick Chanezon

this must look annoyingly awesome on the iphone, let's look. - iluvgimp

I like that the comments are bubbling up on the front page too - Kevin Marks

and you can search it!!!! - Ed Dale

Hey, even Patrick is here. Woot! - Jérôme Flipo

top secret fuzzy logic - Bwana ☠

@Karoli just via the browser (saved it to homescreen)....granted i am on wi-fi, but even real-time seems to work great - Jeffrey Marsh

it's about discovery as well as search, and the interesting space inbetween - Kevin Marks

nice job guys - Jay

good beta test of the realtime interface - Bwana ☠

haha, tired of hearing about Scoble's car problem. - Thomas Hawk

and it was useful - Bwana ☠

Ok, i think i need to be part of this too! - Damien Benoit

hello ... joining in! :) - Garys Wine

Go for simplicity, FriendFeed - Mitch

How long until filters are real time?? - Ken Sheppardson

Click hide, done, no more car problem - Tony, Paradox of FF

I echo Ken's question - Bwana ☠

the nice thing about friendfeed is that if you get tired of something bubbling you can just hide it. - Thomas Hawk

Scoble's car brand should advertise on this thread :D - Jérôme Flipo

Somebody ask paul when Filters will go real time? - Ken Sheppardson

I also echo Ken's question - Adnan

Thomas - It would be nice to "anchor" it down without completely hiding it though. - Mitch

Albert Willis it is the gamechanger. It may take people time to figure it out, but Twitter took 3 years to jump the shark, so... - Karoli

@Paul: when Filters will go real time? - Jérôme Flipo

Chris, backward filters on home feed: exclude certain feeds from appearing on home feed - Karoli

@Chris: maybe "make this filter your homepage" would do it. - Jérôme Flipo

Pluggable algorithms for filtering/bubbling up would be interesting too. - Patrick Chanezon

should latest post be up top? date and time added? - Garys Wine

Holy update! - Dave VanderWall

I got some kewl filters brewing - Bwana ☠

would be nice to have some draggability to speed friend list making - Amyloo

take any Hobby -feed all the best feeds into it - one stop shot - Ed Dale

Agreed Amyloo - Mitch

holy crap.. looks good on the iphone.. a dedicated iphone app would be even better - iluvgimp

I never really visioned FriendFeed as a place for spontaneous chats before today. - Thomas Hawk

Everybody should check out AJ Batac's theme at http://beta.friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Ken Sheppardson

great question. - Bwana ☠

omg... real-time chat engine! - AJ Batac

Thanks Steve - Jérôme Flipo

Man I love filters - Bwana ☠

before the service comes out of beta? - Ken Sheppardson

sweet - Ken Sheppardson

How would one deal with spam commenters in threads like these? - Philipp Lenssen

glad they took their time on this; it's really nice - Amyloo

Thanks Steve! :) - Ahmed

hidden stuff should stay hidden in filters as well. - Thomas Hawk

Filters FTW - Ken Sheppardson

less than a month... and with full keyboard shortcuts! - Jérôme Flipo

You need to promote it to your niches - Thomas to Photographer for example :-) - Ed Dale

I like how a comment thread is also a topic oriented chat room that can be archived and linked to unlike traditional chat room conversations that disappear once you close them. - Rolf Schewe

Philipp: Each person could eal with them individually: block - Ken Sheppardson

darn, I zoned out. Stupid A.D.D. - Bwana ☠

Exactly Rolf!!! - Ed Dale

can this section be expanded in the beta? I liked the old view so I could see stuff I missed - Scott Kingery

600 comments now. - Marc Dong

Everybody can make their own judgement what's spam - Ken Sheppardson

Rolf - Yeah this is a lot more IRC-feeling isn't it. - Mitch

I've had this running as the lead items on my Flickr page all day. I'm trying to promote FF at Flickr and other photography related places as much as I can. Love seeing great photos on FF. - Thomas Hawk

is direct message here a new thing, or just something i never noticed? - Amyloo

this doesnt auto scroll on Mac/Firefox FYI ... i have to keep scrolling to catch up - Garys Wine

Spam is simple - dont follow everyone - follow people you know - Ed Dale

Track = "friends:kshep or term1 or term2 or term3 or" as a filter - Ken Sheppardson

nambuu - Phil G

it's new - Bwana ☠

@Daniel Boehmisch I thought so, others may disagree, but I am going to give it a try over the next few days and see how smooth it runs...but I agree a dedicated app would probably be better - Jeffrey Marsh

@Mitch DALnet2000 ;) - Rolf Schewe

Watching this on post on Twit.tv while watching it on Friendfeed. Yo Dawg... - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

there's been very little spam in FF. When you do see it it's almost sort of fun. - Thomas Hawk

Well, Ed, but in threads like this you see everybody. Not just the folks you're following. - Ken Sheppardson

Ed, I was talking about specific comments in this thread, which show even when you're not following the person... and I didn't notice any block button when hovering over a name. - Philipp Lenssen

All thats missing is a realtime list of whos all currently viewing this page. - Tony, Paradox of FF

@Bwana are going to make a tutorial on how to use Filters??? - Ahmed

lol 16 new results on "Gillmor Gang" on Twitter since Kevin Fox posted it.... and 200 new comments here. We win. - Bwana ☠

Twhirl client shipping tomorrow: looking foward to see what it does! - Patrick Chanezon

I tell you what, next time I liveblog something, I'm just opening up a FF thread and going to town. - Phil G

oh gotcha! - Ed Dale

No, it's easier! (posting to FF compared to Twitter) - Jérôme Flipo

Ahmed: yeah, producing the video tonight - Bwana ☠

trouble with friendfeed clients is that they refresh when you like or comments which really disrupts friendfeed flow - Ed Dale

Why can't you CC: to Facebook as well? - iluvgimp

@Bwana thanks, can't wait to watch it... - Ahmed

BWana: is your voice/natural language -> filters converter done yet? - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: Prototypes are being brainstormed - Bwana ☠

Thomas, we had tried to experiment with Friendfeed for chat a year ago but the interface wasn't very fit for it then http://friendfeed.com/e... - Philipp Lenssen

heading home to the wife and kids. thanks to all for the chat during the show. this was fun. - Thomas Hawk

Sweeeeet - Ken Sheppardson

heh - Bwana ☠

have a great day Thomas! - Ahmed

thanks thomas - Ed Dale

see ya Thomas - Bwana ☠

@ iluvgimp - Facebook has a Friendfeed addon which basically does the same result. - Tony, Paradox of FF

See you, Thomas - Jérôme Flipo

direct message methods twitter api http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+AP... - Patrick Chanezon

You know, it really would've been better to have this as a room., rather than a thread in the main feed... - Ken Sheppardson

Philipp, real time updating is a whole new experience. Later all. - Thomas Hawk

let's try it, what's the syntax? - Amyloo

chattin at http://live.twit.tv - Garys Wine

Welcome Garys Wine - Viran

oh no..almost 2:30 am over here..."Cairo, Egypt time" later guys! - Ahmed

Actually no... direct message is a specific API call - Brian Roy

Or just send a FF to a proxy "Twitter" user you set up for your own accounts on different services - Ken Sheppardson

http://twitter.com/direct_... - Patrick Chanezon

@Ahmed. 2:30 is also Paris time. Zzzzzz - Jérôme Flipo

Can this be saved or do you always have to modify the url? http://beta.friendfeed.com/FFusern... - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Mightly mouse = fail - ralphsaunders

the longest wine? - Garys Wine

Could the beta.friendfeed.com makes the Digg homepage? - Jérôme Flipo

Watching now, am coming in an hour late though. - Brian Tiede

Gilmore - good show on TwiT.tv - TJ Polczyn

Jérôme, we could try :) - Philipp Lenssen

Scrolling to the top to comment everytme is ... annoying. - ralphsaunders

Oops, I take that back. It's #3. You can see the long threads here: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Gary Burd

I don't care for the ff.im links - Phil Maxwell

@ralphsaunders ... mighty mouse is saving my life right now :) - Garys Wine

ralphsaunders: click "Saturday", it's a permalink - iluvgimp

i need to scroll down ... go figure - Garys Wine

ralphsaunders: click on the timestamp ("Saturday") to go to the permalink http://beta.friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Benjamin Golub

EXACTLY as a chat room :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Whoops bad copy buffer! http://beta.friendfeed.com/stevegi... - Benjamin Golub

They should hire some Google folks. - Ken Sheppardson

And Twitter isn't? :) - Bwana ☠

@Garys Wine Would be quicker with a conventional mouse heh heh :P - ralphsaunders

you mean this isn't a chat room???? - Garys Wine

the permalink is the key - Scott Kingery

"Will it Scale?" is the new "Will it Blend?" - Trevor Childs

permalinked, searchable - Ken Sheppardson

i wish i could text talk! lol - Garys Wine

It's a message board really - Adam Turetzky

It's like a turtle..that eats a pigeon - Bwana ☠

The interesting thing of the NEW FF is that it combine IM+Chat+Email+Feeds in one place and we have just started. - Martin Añazco

except I dont like the comment box floating down down down - Scott Kingery

The Swarm == The Hive Mind? - iluvgimp

A linkable archived chatroom. How long it is archived I do not know. - Rolf Schewe

its word tetris! - jcunwired

the whole time i thought this was a "different" chat room LOL - Garys Wine

well, it's behaving like a chatroom - it's lost the overlapping publics model of twitter - Kevin Marks

Leo: You can have a thread like this for every show you do, in your TWiT FF room - Ken Sheppardson

Sweet thanks Benjamin Golub - ralphsaunders

Leo: to a large extent, this is the giant stream of everything you've been talking about RE XMPP - Ken Sheppardson

Bwana - it's turtles all the way down. - Phil G

I can't see!! - Randy Archer

700 comments now. - Marc Dong

BTW, it's an "editable" chat room. That's amazing too. - Jérôme Flipo

Feudal or futile? - Trevor Childs

dip in is a good strategy Leo! - Garys Wine

KShep: ie, "The River" - iluvgimp

@Ken I agree. Why use disposable chat sessions when you can link, search and archive them here? - Rolf Schewe

Leo ... imagine what it would be like with twit on sunday :P - ralphsaunders

@Jérôme Flipo ... oh yeh ..I just edited my post as a test, that's a good point!! - Garys Wine

I love the Gillmor Gang - Wo

I've managed to read everything, but could not parse the voice. will have to listen to recording - Amyloo

Editable chat rooms ... the wave of the future! - Garys Wine

I'm with Andrew Keen on this one. I find this all hard to understand, and therefore tiresome. So there. I want something simple and compelling - Francine Hardaway from IM

yes, we have the swarm/river/whatever... now we need to figure out how to give users the ability to manage scarce attention. - Brian Roy

You can scan friendfeed but how do you scan a discussion thread such as this? - Adnan

Jérôme, you're giving me an idea about animated ASCII art here :) - Philipp Lenssen

will this thin thread just keep digging down until it hits china? - clewellyn

Francine: It can be that if you want it. - Ken Sheppardson

Should there be a preference option for the text to scroll down and put the new comments on top? Would be nice. - iluvgimp

oooooooooooops - missed it - Marc Canter

if i could call a number and speak the text into friendfeed, now that's an app! - Garys Wine

let's go for a Guinness World Record ... let's never stop this chat/feed and keep it going forever ... - Garys Wine

lol - Jay Neff

How do you use the new beta RT feed in firefox sidebar? - Keith Barrett

Netbook with WWAN as a FriendFeed appliance. - Ken Sheppardson

These guys can be really Cranky Geeks... - Charles Alden

iPhone app - TJ Polczyn

A FriendFeed iPhone app or a robust web app that works well on the iPhone browser would be cool. - Rolf Schewe

forever and ever and evaaaar - ralphsaunders

should scroll with most recent posts on top - min

Thanks Leo! - Keith Barrett

how about a very long skinny tablet as ff device - Amyloo

Dial 2 Do might be able to do that, I know you can blog via a phone call using that service - Viran

*just put Steve Gillmor in a "cranky geeks" feed* :D - ralphsaunders

Nice. Real-time mini window update! - Rolf Schewe

I love this... but I want it in the sidebar :) - Keith Barrett

Amyloo: only issue there is, like, typing - Ken Sheppardson

Rolf: Opinions differ but I think the Facebook app shows how successful native apps really are - iluvgimp

userstyles - Bwana ☠

I requested that today in the Feedback Room - Rolf Schewe

There already are "skins" e.g. http://beta.friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Ken Sheppardson

curious if you can edit/delete comments - monkeystick

What Ken said - Bwana ☠

On the iPhone I can't see contending with all these different FF issues - Francine Hardaway

Hey there Leo hows it going - taxi_cab

it must be 666! - Amyloo

I also wish I could search FF for twitter followers/followees to build my cloud - Keith Barrett

How about making it <blink/> instead of dull grey?-) - Patrick Chanezon

"Cleaner Friendfeed" is a *great* add-on. http://beta.friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Ken Sheppardson

well, theres 1 alternate skin currently - Tony, Paradox of FF

looks like comments just stay permanently - monkeystick

click it - Ken Sheppardson

I also use Andrios - so feel free! - Keith Barrett

ah there we go, you can edit comments still - monkeystick

I have abandoned trying to import things into Facebook and it's apps. Now I export from Facebook into FriendFeed. - Rolf Schewe

No, it's embeded video that plays automatically, no? - Ken Sheppardson

Okay, wind down the convo so I can go watch Big Bang Theory :) - iluvgimp

Shoot. I have to go to work yet. Is lunch over yet? - Ken Sheppardson

im still using cleaner friendfeed V2 bc the beta cleaner doesnt look much better than the beta ui, aside from what V2 already does. - Tony, Paradox of FF

Perm chat rooms - Keith Barrett

Fun stuff - Ken Sheppardson

great show, good conversation. thanks and bye - Amyloo

hmm im not seeing realtime feeds now - Adam Hubbs

Leo: You're going to need a dedicated FriendFeed monitor :-) - Ken Sheppardson

GREAT SHOW! - Keith Barrett

Lol! - Garys Wine

Good Job LEO ... Thanks! - Randy Archer

I tried the FF Facebook app. 1. It looks abandoned, and 2. I see Facebook as a subset of my overall social content and FriendFeed as my hub. - Rolf Schewe

"774 more comments". That's huge. - Jérôme Flipo

and i guess the real time stuff must be in http://beta.friendfeed.com/static... - Patrick Chanezon

Great show, nice chat-stream too. - Willem (@wim66) ☠

Matt Cutts and Paul were already talking OpenSocial at the demo last Friday - Ken Sheppardson

hmm this is seriously like a chat. - ralphsaunders

Very intertaning show! - Adam Hubbs

Should've asked Paul if he wants to go back to Google. - Ken Sheppardson

On bart now. Someone should submit this post to digg. There are enough people here to get it on the front page - Thomas Hawk

Welcome back Thomas ;) I tried to post to digg using the new diggbar. Failed :( - Jérôme Flipo

Thomas it was mentioned, will check it out - jcunwired

Not chat - dialogue? - Randy Archer

We had similar problems with the last Beta Friendfeed release, Digg says "This link does not appear to be a working link. Please check the URL and try again." Friendfeed might be sending the wrong http header for Digg. - Philipp Lenssen

63283 chars of minified javascript: nice job Bret! - Patrick Chanezon

digg submit didn't work, even with link from friendfeed.com (not beta) - jcunwired

"Twitter is currently down for unscheduled maintenance". We did it, didn't we? - Jérôme Flipo

:P probs - ralphsaunders

still going?? - Garys Wine

So many commets, great! - Tony

I am a Chinese student .I like the new Friendfeed.. 国内的来顶啊。。。 - ybs

keep it going people ... we're not stopping ... what happened to the record we all agreed on?? c'mon, who's with me??? - Garys Wine

FF最长的回复了吧 - 阿石

I think scoble was right, mike arrington isn't aware how quickly things roll in a revolution. - Jan Zimak

Arrington - I am a fan of your honest point of view. (how's that for balancing out the negative?) - clewellyn

Philipp (and others), Digg submission should be working now, so Digg in :) - Paul Buchheit

sweet! thank you :) - Jay Neff

Have watching twitlive.tv and watching lots of comments to this post scroll by but not seeing it on beta.friendfeed.com - John Wood

this thread today was one of the most awesome things I've seen on FriendFeed yet. - Thomas Hawk

still going? - Garys Wine

继续顶，顶到1k - 阿石

At over 800 comments in under 8 hours, this thread has sprouted 100 per hour. Not bad for the best system that no one uses. - Micah Wittman

Mike Arrington is a stupid. - Wo

Hey no one uses friendfeed, right? Where did 800+ comments come from? - Robert Scoble

I'm certainly not using friendfeed. (It's using me.) - Jon Lebkowsky

Robert - exactly! - Susan Beebe

Thanks Paul - Ok I just submitted this to Digg http://digg.com/softwar... Go Digg it up!! - Susan Beebe

Well, this thread kind of proves that the FriendFeed model works. Fairly emphatically. - Jamie

Jamie, yeah, I just listened to the parts that I missed. Arrington is wrong, but it will take some time to prove him so. - Robert Scoble

Apparently I had an easier time finding this thread than Michael Arrington did. - Michael K Pate

what's it? - Do Young Min

Very good post, I'm going to be upgrading to a smartphone in the coming year. All my area can get is Verizon so the only choice I have right now is a WinMo phone or Blackberry. I've tried playing around with the phones in the store and the user experience is absolutely dreadful. Also the prospect of my expensive phone never updating is a major turn off. I like the application support for WinMo when you can find it but seems like Blackberry will offer the better user experience. - Bryan

4 more comments

Anyone else care to chime in on there experiences? I'm curious to know what others thinks of the two platforms. - Bryan

I'm in the same boat as you, Michael, and also looking at the same unit. At least Verizon left the WiFi antenna turned on... - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I installed 6.1 on my Moto Q9H a few months ago and am pleased with the performance. I really miss having a touch screen so I will be upgrading phones but it will definitely be a Windows Mobile based device. My wife has a Crackberry and I hate it. I really like what I've seen of the Treo Pro but with no contract price, it's way too expensive. - David Ward

Thanks for the link, Michael. - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I can wait a while... - MVB (Grinch of FF)
