And now I present you with Full of Win #2: Ffundercats - or alternately titled "How to shamelessly gather likes and comments by involving FriendFeed in your new webcomic" - Full Version - http://www.dailyhaggis.com/wp-cont...
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
HA! The superhero outfits are perfecto. I need to actually catch up on Ffundercats. I think the last one I heard was the one with Tina, actually. Which was fab, of course.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
OH YEAH! AWESOME! I look good in baby blue!
- Mark Wilson
Haggis, this is awesome :), but it's terribly difficult to read the font if your display is more than 100dpi: I had to blow it up to 400% in order to read it.
- mjc
Yikes! Might have been the .GIF compression as well.. Is everyone else having trouble reading? It definitely looks best at 100%/
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Hehe. That is a good chuckle. Keep it up. Though, having to click three times so I could get it large enough to read was annoying. Still, worth reading. :)
- Robert Miller
I know, I know.. I posted that way to make sure the original item had my copyright on it. The Full of Win room has links to the direct images. I'm seriously toying with the idea of getting a dedicated site for these tho.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Thx Pete. I noticed I didn't put the symbol in on the last frame! (I also put #3 instead of #2.) Serves me right for doing all this on an empty stomach. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Thank you for 'being kind' to my waistline as well... :P
- Johnny Worthington
Hahaha.. I based the hair partly on the "Carls Jr" pic you uploaded in Vegas, and combining that with Lion-O's hair. Hey, I could have made you Cheetara :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I thought Josh was supposed to be Dr. Emmett Brown from Back to the Future.
- Mark Wilson
Colleen is cute and snarky. Two of my favorite things.
- Dave Friedel
I have a colleague that is just like Colleen. I suspect a 'Daria' effect, it seems to have appeared at about the time the series was released.

Felicia Day is oh so full of Win! This is a Jed Whedon song too I think :) Edit: Jed wrote the Music. The lyrics are all Felicia. :)

Seriously, you win the internets, big time!
- Josh Haley
I've been criticized for [liking] too much ( http://friendfeed.com/sebayou... ). I've been accused of clicking Like on everything I see to make myself visible. I'm pretty sure my average [Like] rate is less than 50 per day.
I think it's because they're new here, and have their own idea of the way to use Friendfeed. But yes, Kevin, I'll continue [liking] as I like. :)
- Brome
in summer "liking" are so dangerous... :D
- hermansji.:.
Like can mean different things Don't take it personally
- Rodfather
I'm trying, Rodfather. I've been called a spammer, a wacko, an a**hole (or their french equivalents) and it can become a bit irritating. But all in all, I find the whole story funny. It's just that some people should take the time to discover how FF works and "lives" before making judgements.
- Brome
@Brome you are one of the kindest ones. Don't change, be yourself. We LIKE you :)
- Véronique Rabuteau
You just want some love ! It's like everywhere else, if people feel swamped, they should just unsubscribe, not complain about it. Personnally, I subscribe to even more people when scoble is too much, that way it minimizes his presence.
- Genaro Bardy
from iPhone
Thanks Véronique. :) And yes Genaro, fighting noise with signal is the way to go. But of course, someone's signal is someone else's noise.
- Brome
in fact all the great stuff here makes it very hard, not to like a lot. (I once felt dirty because of using the magic button very often, but I got over it...) :)
- ★ Esther Rudolph
LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE
- Derrick
Clicking "Like" on everything sounds like a really poor way to make yourself visible; surely you should at least be posting meaningless comments everywhere? ;) Anyhow, if they don't like it (tee hee hee), they can unsub, or even block.
- Tristan Seligmann
liking something makes the post and the poster more visible. like away!!
- BEX
You can't ever please everyone so at least do what pleases you on FF where no one is forced to follow you if they don't want to
- M F
you're always going to end up interacting with people of the same level of activity as you - the people with a lot less activity will feel swamped when they come check, and might remove you, the people with a lot more activity might never notice you. It's like parallel layers, and sometimes people move from one to the next. I suspect you have, and some of your old group will stick with...

- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I know, Joelle, and I have absolutely nothing against anyone unsubscribing from my feed or just not subscribing to it in the first place. As you said, that's natural. But I've been publicly insulted and accused of mass-following people and liking posts to increase my follower count, in order to sell them a product. That's just insane! I follow people to gather information and because I care about what they have to say, I don't care wether they follow me back or not. And I have nothing to sell.
- Brome
Brome, just do what you have to do, what you wanna do. Who want to teach you how to use FriendFeed? They just have to unsubscribe. So what?
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
BTW.. I'm gonna like this FriendFeed entry of you, and it'll B Twitted. FriendFeed Likes (Promotes!) FTW!
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
That's not bad at all. I used to like a lot more than I do know. I've been trying to comment more lately. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable!
- Michael Fidler
I've already had lunch but I could *so* down a noodle bowl right about now...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I'm hungry. Thanks a lot. First, it is called "friend feed" and then you show me food I can't eat. That's just cruel. When does the replicator come out?

"You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President. You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy. You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed. You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed. You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us. You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war. You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq. You didn't get mad when you saw the Abu Grahib photos. You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people. You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans. You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden. You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed. You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown. You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark. You finally got mad...

Name That Foster Kitten Season 2 - Meet Boomer (aka Boomerang). Our grey & white boy is a real sweetheart. He aspires to be a lap kitten, but sometimes must rocket from lap to attack and back again. He has some odd eating habits (likes everyone else's food only), and is curious, contemplative and cute. #foxfosterkitten
VOTING ENDS FRIDAY THE 14TH AROUND 4:30ISH!! Names must be adoptable names, which means not really strange or obscure/in jokes (that can't also make sense to other people). Names can be people names or not as long at its cute. Something that is fun to say or rolls off the tongue easy is also good. We will take brainstorming suggestions for the next 24 hours and then voting on Thursday, not sure yet what the end time will be.
- Rachel Lea Fox
For some reason he strikes me as an Edward
- anna sauce
For some reason I thought of Maxwell, or Ping, like a horse I used to know that would startle at anything and go rocketing off, but calm down a couple seconds later.
- Heather
Oh, Ping is cute. I can see him being a Ping.
- joey
yeah lots of options already. Heather, he doesn't really startle, he just wants to attack one of the other kittens, but he also wants to be on my lap and he can't figure out how to have both at the same time so he rockets off, gets someone and then comes running right back. It might also be because he is a little chicken and the four of them have truly developed a game much like tag...

- Rachel Lea Fox
Aww, this is the guy that I want. :)
- Alex Scoble
The second photo above was from over the weekend when he would only eat gruel (kitten formula with wet kitten food mixed) as he wasn't totally weaned. He got done eating with a goatee of gruel hanging from his chin. I had to get a photo before he licked it away.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Oh, I want this kitten! I have currently named him Musfhaff (because I must have!)
- Janet
"Streak" - i luv his markings, the streak across his snout is cute ! [edit to support my choice] "narrow irregular line, stripe, smear; rapid movement or something that moves very quickly; trace, small amount; layer, stratum; unbroken series of events; spell or run (of luck, misfortune, etc.)
- Peter Dawson
He looks a lot like a kitten we just got, but ours is black on top and white on underside. We thought about naming ours :Oreo," but had to give him a cajun name cause he's a transplant from Louisiana to Texas. So we named our Boudreaux. But you may like Oreo, if his gray is dark enough.
- Katy Barrilleaux
Janet, do you live in the bay area? If you are interested I can add you to my list of people who are interested in one of them and give you more information as soon as I figure it all out. The kittens need to stay here at least a month before they can be adopted, but we can talk if you are interested.
- Rachel Lea Fox
He looks like a Shmootz to me (I probably spelled that wrong.) He looks like he has a little shmootz on his chin and could use a napkin.
- Marci Golub
Sorry, on the east coast but like Marci's name, it is used as PA word Dutch for something gooey/wet/dirty :)
- Janet
Yeah, I have to agree, "schmutz" does not have a good connotation in my understanding (as someone who grew up in the east coast hearing that). "You have a little schmutz on your shirt. You might want to clean that off before you go to the interview."
- Ragani Harris
My gray and white cat's name is Puddy and he won't eat until the other two cats are finished. (Puddy is short for Puddin'head.)
- Kimber Scott
There was a lady that lived across the street from me that had a kitty with the same facial markings as yours, I never knew its name but I always called it; "Pugsley"
- Scratch5150
My adoptee, RubyRoo, was 6 when I got her a few months ago. She spent the first few days in the closet and wouldn't come out (except for critical bodily functions!) Now, she curls up next to me in bed, rolls over to let me rub her tummy whenever I pass by, and almost lets me hold her (for a minute or so, tops!) We're making progress. My vote is for the name: Rupert. (I don't know why.)
- Mark Jepsen
Mark, that is awesome! And really fast progress for an adult cat. Congrats to you and RubyRoo!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rupert! I have to say the Victorian names are working- something about the coloring, like he's in black & white tails or something.
- anna sauce
He does look dressed up. I thought of Tux, but it's kind of cheesy. Victorian names are way cooler.
- Heather
ok going fwd - new direct for the kitty's :)- my name theme now is going to be greek. So here goes -'Vasilios -With royal blood, regal" !
- Peter Dawson
PLS VOTE FOR "Patton" - GENERAL PATTON :)-
- Peter Dawson
And so begins the campaigning for names. Awesome! Names on he poll are: Harley, Domino, Patton, Lego, Boomer (aka Boomerang), Rupert and Nami. Though I'm sorry Kevin, but I think we shouldn't go with Nami since the other grey one is now named Nonny. We can save Nami for another time. Voting till around 4:30 today. He is the last kitten without a name!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Cat without a name? Makes me think of the old 'spaghetti' westerns......Clint! Hey how about that?
- Kevin J Hatton
Kevin, that is a great one, but brainstorming is closed and we are voting at the poll right now. I will add that to the list for possibles with the next set of kittens though. Poll is here: http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll...
- Rachel Lea Fox
Based on the current results, I'd say the poll is faulty. (Because my choice is not winning)
- Brian Johns
Sparky, other than your suggested kitty, what is your choice?
- Rachel Lea Fox
I liked Patton the best, but chose Lego because it had the best combination of "how much I like it" and "chances of winning".
- Brian Johns
because nobody wants to vote for a loser, right??? :-)
- Brian Johns
You know, it's a check box so you could vote for all you like. I'm not exactly sure when it will turn of, time zone settings are screwy there, but people might be able to get a last minute vote in.

Nevermind it closed when it was supossed to. Boomer wins!!!!

I love to cook but it feels like such a waste to do it alone (Megen's working the night shift at the hospital). Leftover birthday cake sounds like a better option right now.
I remember when FriendFeed was available only through VT100 terminals.
- Jemm
I even remember what it was like before Alex Scoble got here. But I never knew a time without Louis Gray. And, before Paul? Well, there was Twitter. I remember that time well. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I miss having a friendfeed embed on my blog. I could use a good social media hub that isn't effected so much by good ole business decisions. What are my options?
- Mark Essel
Mark: rrrriiiiiggggghhhhttttt. Write your own, I guess is the option.
- Robert Scoble
Mona was a much more attractive Scoble. "Queen of FriendFeed" as I recall.
- DGentry
Robert, Who own's the internet? Who owns the web? How do we get that same group to own social media information so that I can rely on it rain or shine. As an aside, I looked into facebook this morning and nearly puked in my own mouth due to crappy apps, and low quality information. I sorta don't see facebook as my social information hangout, ever. (maybe lite will change that... and the relationship structure)
- Mark Essel
I too was here long before Scoble but thankfully I've gotten to know him much better after his arrival. Death to Scoble...Long live Scoble.
- Mark Krynsky
There was a "before Robert Scoble got here"?
- Morton Fox
BRS (Before Robert Scoble) will be a new measurement of time.
- Jemm
I think BS (Before Scoble) would be better. ;) Just kidding Robert
- Keith - @tsudo
I'm pretty sure Scoble was here when I got here, but I followed Louise Gray here and Scoble was quiet back then. His Twitter followers weren't following him en masse to FF like they apparently do now.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I don't remember but I love that quote anyway. That needs to show up in my feed again.
- Martha
Oh now we're starting to insult Robert now? Shame. :(
- Mol, Time Warping
People, geez. He's quoting that hilarious video with Hitler talking about FB and FF.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Molly... how is it insulting him.. he is in this thread joking along with it... not sure he feels insulted, maybe he would say so if he was..
- Rob Sellen :o)
Molly: if you think this is insulting you should read some of the people over on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
I remember FriendFeed on a 28.8k modem. I'm totally being serious. This whole real-time thing would have sucked. Oh, and yes, I remember FriendFeed before Robert. ;-)
- Zach Flauaus
I've been trying to see if I can actually tolerate "that cesspool of superpokes and mafia wars" of late...it's rough going. ;-)
- Christopher A Carr
I love that Bret, Paul, and Kevin checked in. They probably are looking at their screens and asking "what do we do now?" how about ship some new features before Facebook overlords take you off to do bigger things?
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
I feel sorry for all you addicts. My use of it is purely social.
- Bruce Lewis
I do like FF and use it almost every day. Wouldn't it be great if FB either left it alone so we can continue to use it as "professionals," or somehow incorporate it into a more "mature" version of FB that didn't have all the annoying, time-wasting apps, games, etc. I'd much prefer a totally customizable FF "wall."
- Cathryn Hrudicka
I think FFundercats HO!!!!! would have worked but I'm here anyways.
- Jimminy
Actively fighting addiction to anything on a daily basis, but I'm still a FriendFeed fan! (I'd have been here sooner but I've been staring at Phoebe Cates pics for longer than I realized.)
- Mark Jepsen
Thank you Robert Scoble to be here. :) BTW is this looks interesting for FF replacement? : http://streamy.com/ ? May be... I'll try it to see. :)
- Claude LaFrenière
Why should I? Whats in it for me? You doing some sort of survey of people to send out the police to do a "Safety Check" on when the site is shutdown?
- CW™
here. anecdote: a friend of mine just signed up for FF this evening. apparently the FriendFeed hype of the last 24 hours pushed him over the top. leaves me wondering whether FF has actually gained users today?it would be a crafty way of marketing the service. I'll wake up tomorrow to discover that there was a problem with the paperwork and the FriendFeed team have had a change of heart.
- David Hall
from BuddyFeed
Count me in even though I was just starting to get hooked. I guess it's time to find a rehab and get all sobered up until the next relapse with some other new addiction. Isn't life grand?
- Usman Bashir
oh hey, look, the added an "add comment" link to the end of the comment list. Huzzah!
- Brett Kelly
from iPhone
++Jay. I was going to do the same thing yesterday but I didn't want to pay the money.
- David Cook
David -- this was a $9.95 session but you can get them for $7.95 and there are also 25% off coupons if you do online check-in prior to your Delta flight. That's an incentive for folks to use that service and offload kiosk use at the terminals. Very savvy marketing by the folks at GoGo and Delta combined.
- Jay Cuthrell
well, it's 12:12 a.m. and I'm perusing FF from my iPhone via BuddyFeed before turning in. so yeah, I guess I count. "Here!" (raises hand)
- Don Faulkner
from BuddyFeed
I recommend FF to some of my clients, and there are some companies and nonprofits with presences here—not like Twitter, but I'll be curious how that will be affected when FB takes over more. Most have FB fan pages, groups and/or causes, too.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
Yeah, me too. I just saw the request to have a comment link at the bottom of the comments from one of your friends just yesterday and here it is. I'd say they are listening. Thanks FF.

а можно получить профессию известного блоггера? какие экзамены сдавать надо? какую специализацию лучше выбрать - микроблоггинг или аудиоподкастинг?
- Махатма Бугоганди
Один чувак пришол в чятег и говорит я известный блоггер кто тут тру на первый второй рассчитайсь. А ему говорят чувак у тебя сертификат есть что ты известный блоггер? Вот иди Зайке экзамен сдай потом приходи. А Зайка стоит такой с топором и улыбается. Щас думает счастливым его сделаю.
