ok, submitted it to lolscoble.com, thought they haven't updated in a while. - Andrew Dobrow

hee. that's a pretty good expression. - edythe

Is he trying to fart? LOL! - Jack

Actually, I think someone had just called him a "social application slut." haha - Andrew Dobrow

UPDATE: The pic has made its way to LOLScoble http://lolscobles.com/2008/05/... - Andrew Dobrow

Andrew, that was quick. Funny shot. - Russellreno

youptidou - thomas via twhirl

too funny -- wow - Shey

Yeah it was quick. Thanks to the awesome service of @Mazy - Andrew Dobrow

When they add more option other than like, I hope they add "super like". :) - Grant Bierman

This would definitely be the priceless part of a Mastercard commercial. - Kevin Bondelli

Is that Scoble or Gary Busey? - Cyndy

Great 404. - Courtstarr Runner

hmm.. and i thought the 404 is when it works :) - Naor

When I was writing a blog post about SEO, I thought it would be great to have this guy saying "Leave SEO Alone!!" "Stop Keyword Stuffing!!" - Bill Stevens

That's almost the funniest thing that I've ever seen ... almost - JohnBfromMemphis via Alert Thingy

John, then I guess you haven't seen this :-) http://friendfeed.com/e/d65ab8... - Andrew Dobrow

lol alright...via feedalizr - James Andreasen

Snap! - Caleb Elston

Probably db006 got "retired" by db007. I hear that 007 still has a license to kill... - Alexander Falk

Alex: Man down is funny, but License to Kill? rothflol - Russellreno

Haha very good, what is rothflol ? - Joe Dawson

Joe: rothflol = rolling on the floor, laughing out loud. - possible248

not to be confused with roflmao - Alexander Falk

Someone could probably write a Greasemonkey script to do that :) - Deepak

Of course, if I had said filter this item would be hidden from view. :-) - Robert Scoble

Me too. Here's my prediction for today - there will be several threads about how friendfeed is better than twitter, followed by several about twitter being down, those will lead to talks about scale, which roll back to talks about friendfeed being better than twitter. Throw in a couple of tricks for using friendfeed and we're done. Any takers.. i'm willing bet on this :) - Doug Brooks

I give it two more minutes before we see the first blog post: "FriendFeed killed Twitter, again." - Robert Scoble

@Robert If this filter came into being, I would just start saying "Twiter" and "FreindFeed" just to piss you off. ;) - Nathaniel Payne

Nathaniel: funny, but you wouldn't know I was autofiltering on those terms, or what terms I was autofiltering on. - Robert Scoble

yup. twitter has been unusually sick this week. I am loving the rooms feature as it really adds a nice filter for content and helps people gather around a specific subject matter. Vanity rooms are less effective at that. - Rodney Rumford

FriendFeed kill Twitter? Not going to happen hahah - it's really at the top - exactly 2 mins - Doug Brooks

@DougBrooks have you seen Robert's Facebook status ad for FF: "is wondering if there's any advantage to Facebook's new Mini-Feed import vs. FriendFeed." Interesting, yes? {BTW, I'm a taker on your scenario} - Barbara K. Baker

+1 for that feature - Mike Doeff

keyword content filters would be awesome... it would be great to never have to see the word Obama again. - Thomas Hawk

http://video.google.com/videop... Obama Obama Obama... Yes we Can... Obama Obama Obama... Yes we Can...Obama Obama Obama... Yes we Can...Obama Obama Obama... Yes we Can... - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

First spam on FF ? - Nicolas Gosset via twhirl

doesn't yahoo pipes let you do that? - Jonathan Denison

Get rid of them both :) - Azzam

It may be awhile before that happens - if they can't do anything about grey text quickly and easily, attacking word/term filters may be a bit much. :( - Lucretia Pruitt

@BarbaraKBaker I'm not sure if I've seen that or not? Is there a link? BTW "problem loading page" at twitter right now :). - Doug Brooks

Scoble's is wisely asking for boolean logic driven query to be available with the HIDE function; I will go one more...please add to the existing search functionality too. Still can't figure out where the "Advanced Search" is that I hear about. Louis? help! - Susan Beebe

Susan, it is here: http://friendfeed.com/search/a... - Robert Seidman

Do you mean like the filter by service script from http://tinyurl.com/3ekn6u (for Firefox)? - Ro (Lilyhill)

I want filtering by regular expressions. - Benedikt Koehler

In addition to a filter, I also think it would be nice to have a follow mode for threads that are interesting. Maybe in a tab of it's own. - Doug Brooks

I'm betting that within a few months the next big invention will turn up that makes both Twitter and Friendfeed look like boring old services. The entire FF tech elite will jump ship and bail out to the next great thing. The circus starts all over again. And the average Web user? Couldn't be bothered by all the noise the techies produce. We just love ourselves don't we ;-) - Alexander van Elsas

@alexanderVanElsas well of course that's true. Society as a whole is doubling our knowledge every year so it's a certainty that these services with evolve and becoming something entirely different. That's the cool part i think. Those same average web users missed the irc and bulletin boards too (both of which i am reminded of with ff). - Doug Brooks

@Doug, true, but us techies make such a big deal out of it, I understand where Robert is coming from, even though he started the echoing himself ;-) - Alexander van Elsas

FF should add support for third party plug-ins for filtering, presentation/visualization, notifications, etc. - scott anderson

Real-time text and video chat should be next... how about plug-ins that allow us to better connect our social services? - Larry Kless

BTW I just noticed of the last 6 items Robert shared on FF, 3 are about FF and Twitter. Robert, time to hide yourself, greatly reduces the noise i bet ;-) - Alexander van Elsas

I like noise. Most people don't. If you only design a product for those who like noise you will fail. - Robert Scoble

If it was automatic, you would not be able to see your own post! - Mot Faerin

I love that lens! We gotta rent it again.600 mm F4.0. - Robert Scoble

I took that photo! Thanks for sharing it Russell. - Mike Doeff

It's like AA: "Hi, I'm Chris Brogan, and I'm really f-ing sick of Twitter not working." Everyone: "Hi, Chris!" - Louis Gray

Yep. I've had two days now on FF exclusively and I occasionally poke my head back into Twitter to see if it's up. Another day or two of this and who knows... - Kevin Cearns

Yeah, it's hard to believe they are having this many problems. I'm a developer and I konw it's tough sometimes... but seriiously figure something out here since they have a great opportunity... - Adrian Nadeau

LOL - Chris is frustrated like the rest of us!! twitter outages are sooo annoyingly old hat it is become the laughing stock of all social media sites...sad! - Susan Beebe

Yeah, me too re twitter not working. I'm liking friendfeed more and more too. It works. - jjprojects

Let the twitter jokes begin - Jason Kaneshiro

Funny how we're all here, though, eh? I mean, really. Nuts. - Chris Brogan

I only *really* like FriendFeed when Twitter *really* isn't working. - Ryan MF

Entirely f-ing sick of it. Went to my first tweet-up last night, and was really stoked to get up this morning and play/talk/interact/etc. -- FAIL :| - Brad McCrorey

explain to me how Twitter is better that FF on any dimension. - ron k jeffries

Hi I'm Peter and I am a twitter Addict - I have not been on twitter for the day. Oh Lord, grant me the serenity to know that twitter is undependable and give me the strength to find other platforms to sustain my daily life one day at a time !! - Peter Dawson

Just as we need a backup but not identical laptop, we need a backup, but not identical Twitter. - Attila Csordas

I think I have to eat crow, I said FF couldn't possibly be a Twitter killer...but this is ridiculous, and I'm starting to see that is very realistic that we all end up on FF and just post here - Jennifer Van Grove via twhirl

I need that link for the importer from twitter to friendfeed - Brad McCrorey

ohhh... there's an importer for twitter to friendfeed? yes please.. - Sean McDonald via Alert Thingy

If ff had DMs and mobile version, it might be a good alternative that actually works. - jjprojects

Time for a one week boycott - Todd Cochrane via twhirl

Wow. I hadn't thought about DMs. That's a good point. FF doesn't facilitate that. Does it? - Chris Brogan

Since I mostly use twitter via twhirl or IM, it really has not been noticeable. Maybe Twitter should only allow historical information through the API, not the web interface and be done with it. - Jauder Ho

No. No DMs on FF. - Jennifer Leggio

If FF had all the traffic that twitter gets, would it be any more stable - Seth "Seth" Gottlieb

This is nuts that you're all here. Is there a follow-back automagically for FF yet? I'm um, a little behind. - Chris Brogan

Here's the T-->FF link - I just did it, works great. http://internetducttape.com/20... - anniebinns

Seth - someone asked that earlier and the response was that its aggregating more content than Twitter now and that yes, it's still stable. Not sure I buy it. FF is great but it's not yet the solution we need. - Jennifer Leggio

I can stand the outages with FriendFeed doing it's thing. I have no doubts in my mind that Twitter will clean up its act soon as it continues to expand. - Ryne Nelson

How do you "like" a comment? What Seth Gottlieb said. It's like Apple always bragging about having no viruses. If they were as ubiquitous as PCs chances are they'd have a few more viruses. (I know, not the same thing: an Apple's an Apple; a PC's a ... any number of brands.) - Robert Stribley

@ ron k jeffries: Really? You can't think of at least *one* way Twitter is better on your own? How about the lack of the @ function, or any individual notification of replies to your content. Just a few days ago I made a comment on Twitter (actually about the Twitter vs FF debate), Scoble replied on FriendFeed, and a discussion sprung up around it on FF that I couldn't participate in because I wasn't glued to FF at the time. If it were on Twitter I would have received a notification on my cell immediately. - Ryan MF

This is becoming a seriously long thread/ decent conversation. ftw. - jjprojects

Really hard to follow discussions on here - Jennifer Leggio

I just blogged about this, too. But you know that, because you're watching FriendFeed. - Chris Brogan

Hi everybody...this is amazing! wow, I am seeing more and more of my twitter buddies over here!! yeah!!! @smbeebe loves you guys! ;-) - Susan Beebe

it is very true that it is hard to keep up with conversations here over time... and once you are subscribed to quite a few people, you're really combing -- through new posts, through friends of friends... unless you are "glued," as Ryan MF said - edythe

@edythe big trick with FF is to learn the hide feature fast - Philip Evans via twhirl

It would be nice if FF comments had paragraphs. FF is extremely aggressive at caching where it is possible to observe variances between the web and API interface. On a different note, I wish FriendFeed was called something else or had a different acronym. FF = FriendFeed = Firefox in different contexts. - Jauder Ho

You'd think that they would have really fixed things by now. This constant tinkering is a joke. It is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. It just isn't working! - Jacob Burke

I just wish FF was a bit more threaded in discussion, instead of just a single thread under first post - Philip Evans via twhirl

nicely put - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Well, with Twitter down, I get more work done! :) - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

wow. absolutely beautiful visualization of life and death - nancy king

incredible. - Thomas Hawk

Amazing. I admire that man. - possible248

This is one of those situations where I feel really bad clicking "I like this", but I want to mark my appreciation for it. Makes me feel I should be doing something more meaningful with my SX-70 that's sitting in my drawer. - Fearghas

Wow. I tried taking a picture every day for a year. Only made it 6 months. I can't imagine doing it for 18 years! That's really dedication, especially when I'm sure there were days he simply didn't feel like it because of his health. Amazing, yes. - Lindsay Donaghe

Wow. This is really inspiring. - Ole Begemann

Incredible and inspiring. Thanks for posting this! - Jeremy Brooks

...I began my 365days on flickr 01.01.08 and thought that would be a large enough endeavor. For him to do that many years is amazing...so is his story. - JA Castillo

That is very moving. Thanks for sharing this persons story. - Geoff Schultz

Amazing. Reminds me a little of Matt Haughey's '10 Years Of My Life' project (http://www.tenyearsofmylife.co...). It appears that Matt abandoned the project late last year. - Mike Doeff

beautiful story - sam b-r

this is one of the reasons why FF is so cool and why I like to cast a large net and add as many people as possible. I've been finding so many really interesting stories from other people on FF here lately. I probably would never have seen this story had it not been for finding it here in Sacca's feed. - Thomas Hawk

@Thomas which is why I reposted it from Ken Norton's feed. I love the diversity of posts here and some just should be seen by any many people as possible. - Christopher Sacca
