what method does tornado use to pull updates that it pushes realtime?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Wave is XMPP based... hence my earlier question RE how he'd tie XMPP into Tornado... where he sees the intergration points and overlap.
- Ken Sheppardson
I'd love to know when noreply and donotreply goes away from Facebook notification emails.
- Jay Cuthrell
Mochiweb (Erlang web framework) has some pretty easy to use support for long-polling too. Use it at http://replies.twitterfall.com for the streaming API there. I think Facebook use it for chat? (guess)
- Jalada
Agreed Steve.......This is now officially WAY over my head.... ;-)
- Mike Kelly
So, Bret... any plans for a near-term Tornado meetup?
- Ken Sheppardson
Has there been any discussion on any top line scaling metrics they are shooting for now? i.e. transcations per second, etc.
- Jay Cuthrell
Thursdays between 1 - 2pm SFO likes to fly jets over the NGL studios! We must have a talk about this
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Can anyone ask Bret if Friendfeed plans to open source more of their code. Would love to see how Friendfeed handles the aggregation of all the user feeds.
- arjo
Yeah I know about that, unless I'm mistaken it doesn't have the newsgang live from tue 09/08
- Michael Breslin
I've only been recording episodes of the Gillmor Gang so unless someone else has recorded NewGang you will have to wait until Steve puts it on YouTube
- Jack
Mike: That link is to the same file as in the bootleg feed
- Jack
Thanks for writing this. Just want to respond to clarify the differences between SUP and Pubsubhubub, as they serve two different purposes, and indeed could be used together. SUP publishes an aggregated list of changed resources, which clients can poll to save the overhead of polling individual resources directly. Whereas Pubsubhubub uses a push model to ping an aggregator/hub directly. Sites like FriendFeed already support both, and we're discussing how to use SUP at Google.

If everything built on what was already there that would all make a lot more sense to a whole lot more people.
- Dave Winer
I @replied this on Twitter and FF didn't see the relationship. Would love to see that bridge.
- Dave Ferrick
The time i spend twittering would have been spent blogging. However as mobile usage grows, the mobile will become the preferred twitter device and we will get back to using our computers for blogging or work.
- Steve Plunkett
@rizzn & I talked about ff, disqus comments last night, think should flow like a two way street- he has some interesting stats
- michael sean wright
I've never maintained a blog regularly for any length of time - but I'll spend hours Friendfeeding and Facebooking. And I notice I'm getting a lot noisier here on ff.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
There are tools to bring FF discussion back to a blog. I think though, the more important question is, what is wrong with fragmented conversations? Paul Buchheit is right.. Discussions happen. Whether it's on friendfeed or around a kitchen table or on the original blog, the point is that they are happening. Eventually, us who converse can't help but return to you, the source, for things to talk about.

Speaking just from personal experience, the availability of FF & tools like Disqus is making me much more likely to comment on a blog. And also of note, both tools make me much more likely to see a blog (because the link shows up in my stream from a trusted, respected source)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
This is Allen Stern's pet issue, I'm sure he can give O'Reilly some stats for CenterNetworks. Edit: I tweeted the relevant links, hopefully Tim can take it from here: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I've actually considered turning friendfeed into my full time blog comment platform. It links to global conversation and reputation management better than individual blogger/wordpress/etc platforms.
- boz
Most of LinkLogs are gone. They live on Twitter. Blogging has certainly gone down.
- Dorai
we've got a plug-in we use to pull FF comments into blog, cross post blog comments back to FF. Has increased our number of comments substantially
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Marshall, What's the plug in and is it available?
- Molly
There's a WordPress plugin, but I would dearly love an option for TypePad integration.
- Richard Akerman
I'm pretty sure RWW uses TypePad, Richard. Try messaging Marshall directly to see if you can't get a better response. Then again knowing RWW's high technical competence they may well have written their own plugin in house.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
@Daniel J. Pritchett since someone else might be posting the original story.
- Vivek Puri
the thread owner can delete comments. the comment owner can delete comments. that's about it.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
can the MT plugin be used in Wordpress? I'm trying right now to figure out the best way to have both FriendFeed comments and Disqus comments on my blog.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
considering you can get twitter/friendfeed commentary in your blog now, i doubt its too big a deal these days. blog posting on the other hand, i notice that goes down nowadays... my rss reader isn't as filled up, as it used to be - FriendFeed is my new RSS reader
- Colin Charles
hmm...no, that's not quite what I want. I think I saw what I want on Techcrunch. I can't locate discussion that I saw here about it either. A magic trick that integrated 9at least one way - pull from FF) comments from FF into the blog commentary
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@Rob: There's Disqus's FriendFeed sync, there's BackType's social mentions tracker, and there's Carter Rabasa's FF2Disqus as seen on LouisGray.com (https://ff2disqus.appspot.com/). Pick your poison!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Silos of comments aren't particularly useful, they lack the potential for connectivity. A friendfeed wordpress plugin would be the category killer.
- Cliff Gerrish
Robert, do you mean your volume of posting comments on blogs has gone down, or that the content you post on your own blogs has gone down/suffered because of your posting on Twitter/Friendfeed? Like many others, I prefer your longer thought out pieces on your blogs than your posts; certainly, however, don't cut off your finger (microblogs) to spite your arm (blogs).
- Chris Aldrich
I'm pretty sure Scoble meant (note, his comment is a month old) that he no longer devotes as much time to posting at scobleizer.com as he once did. He is still wired 24/7, he's just spread his presence out to more outposts i.e. FriendFeed.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Chris: both have gone down because of friendfeed. But I'm still writing longer posts when the opportunity strikes me. I'm working on a long one about Zappos right now, for instance.
- Robert Scoble
Analytics! Track whenever a blog comment is posted, and correlate those numbers against specific referring domains such as Facebook, Twitter, or Friendfeed to understand the impact. I do this with a number of my social-media-savvy clients and they love it.
- Shawn C. Reed
@Daniel interesting. May be worth it to Disqus-ify my blog just for the FF integration.
- Richard Akerman
Daniel: Thats IT! FF2Disqus Was the the item off to discover all the deets now :) Thanks!!!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I nearly spit out my tea when I read this :) Well done sir.
- Fraser
I can't wait for Facebook to look like this! I have many more friends on Facebook so start your copy machines now.
- Wo
Facebook needs a lot more real estate for all its features. It will never look like this. Personally I really like the new look. Although, I think that we should be able to change the background without any 3rd party coding.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Hasn't Facebook already said that they're working on a realtime feed?
- Martin Bryant
You Dinosaur! Wait your name Is Rex. What a coincidence.
- Marcus Beagley
Maybe we should set up a Facebook Group hating the upcoming friendfeed design before they implement it??
- Paul M Evans
Facebook has had a real time feed for ages. They've just temporarily disabled it in the new design.
- Erik K Veland
Saw Nova recently talking about the theory that the diff between Mars and Earth in terms of being hospitable to life is mainly due to our magnetic field. Kind of makes norther lights an affirmation of life. :)

My updated iPhone (old school) is humming along just fine (I updated it yesterday and had no problems).
- Jennifer Dittrich
Right...but its Rogers...and its Blackberry. See?

hey steve if your phone is down, i can let you borrow my samsung ace - it works great, super fast speeds, and an awesome opera mobile browser :)

Hang out for a while. It finally comes on. I was down for 3 hours trying to update this AM, though

Wow. First time I've seen an item with triple digit likes.
- Mark Krynsky
me thinks it will go higher by days end ,, as the problems continue , flickr exposure + friendfeed = TRAFFIC ( Viewed 2,049 times ) on flickr
- johnpiercy
Tweetdeck is very nice. Breaking tweets out into @ replies and groups makes sense. Pretty, too.
- Leo Laporte
Excellent! I'm just not that into all the dark gray.
- kennbell
'scuse me while i wipe up this drool, but that looks hot!
- Sarah Perez
This is very nice. Love the grouping feature. Makes it a lot easier to follow tweets.
- Dave Rutter
ok, see that got all screwed up just now, had to delete & start over.
- TheMacMommy
from twhirl
so what I meant to say was, I like tweetdeck for trying to improve on apps like twirl or twitterific for that matter, but I'd still love to see some über combination of tweetdeck & twirl that lets you group, customize color in UI, post using ping.fm and receive more than just tweets like FF does - not so much a firehose but more like a spiffy detachable shower head w/the different dial settings. Come to Mamma!
- TheMacMommy
from twhirl
I like it Louis - thanks for the tip .. even though there are acouple of things I would probably like as options it is very workable in the short time I have been using it
- Steven Hodson
I really like this so far, it'll be interesting to see what future plans holds. I'd like to see a tad more customization of the client itself. Nice so far though.
- Nick
Nice that you can keep twittering even when Twitter is down. Categories/groups/tags is clearly a direction Twitter user needs are heading. Also need an app, though, that can handle multiple Twitter accounts. I tried Twhirl but after a while kept getting timeouts on the 2nd open account. Maybe that's Twitter's fault, not Twhirl's.
- Gordon Vaughan
I still wonder why all of these apps default with a dark background.
- Caleb Elston
Just saw it with my 9-y-o daughter. Animation was amazing and it was visually attractive. Story was cute, but not great. I think that Monsters Inc., the Incredibles and even Toy Story had better writing. Most interesting thing to me was that more than half the people in the theater were adults with no children. Definitely a bit of a geeky crowd, different than you might expect for a Disney/Pixar flick. All that said, Nice. Now all I need is a blackberry version (that also handles friendfeed) :)
- Barry Graubart
from twhirl
Using it .. nice. Try clicking on the photo. Looks like most of us need to go higher rez!
- Charlie Anzman
pretty slick...just not picking up all my twitter friends though for some reason.
- Zee.
Very nice and still very-very buggy (Air Linux)
- Czar
Ok, another ugly black twitter client. I want an Air app with some brushed metal feel to it. Having something on my desktop that doesnt match the rest of the windows makes me feel like Im on windows.
- Colby Olson
I would rather pay for Flickr than put my photos on Facebook to be fodder for advertisers.
- Andrew Feinberg
Are there any other Twitter services/apps with the Grouping functionality? Really loving that.
- Bryan Landers
looks excellent. love the "maximized view" for real twitter addicts. though I can't imagine there are many left that are addicted, since, well, you know. can't really be addicted to twitter when it's down all the time
- Mark Bao
Thanks! I'll check it out over the next few days!
- Soulhuntre
from twhirl
This is lovely. Funny how some really nice apps sneak up on you. Thanks for linking!
- mark.kemperman
from feedalizr
nice but I doubt it fits the workflow now that twitter is a tiny bit of it
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
thanks Louis, very cool app, what do you think of the group service?
- John Cass
from Alert Thingy
I like the group service, but I love the Summize integration more. I've watched my search for TweetDeck just blow up today, and the app hasn't crashed once or locked up - which is saying something despite the fact it's been open all day.
