So... it turns out I have a new nephew, born 5 hours ago. My sister's labor was 32 hours. My mom, dad and youngest sister were there (as was the baby's mom, of course). But nobody called us. Odd.
Hutch Carpenter, MB Linder, Darren Heydon and 36 other people liked this
Found out on a friend's wall... that they "liked" a photo from Sister A of Sister B with the baby. Huh?
- Louis Gray
The same thing happened with me and my sister's last child. I was a little taken back.
- Jesse Stay
That's a little....weird. To say the least.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Family is so weird. They rushed down to be at my sister's side, but we did our double birth solo last year. (Solo being Kristine and me, of course) No family ever made it to the hospital.
- Louis Gray
That always happens to us, not just for babies, too - must be an oldest child thing or something. It irks me to no end. My sister lives the same distance from my parents as when we lived in Virginia and my Mom is at her house every other weekend. We used to have to beg to get her out to our house in Virginia.
- Jesse Stay
It's always tough to explain that to the wife

Well congratulations on the new addition and, er, sorry you found out this way.
- WorldofHiglet
Johnny, let's just say I can always rely on you. :)
- Louis Gray
Congrats, Louis! And, as you say, family's can be weird..
- Andrew Terry
Johnny, you could of cut the cord because Louis didn't want to.
- Kristine Gray
I got to catch our 3rd child - caught it, cut the cord and everything. :-P
- Jesse Stay
I caught Georgia and cut the cord as well.

Kristine, by Australian law, I'd have to say 'CRIKEY, she's a beauty!' ala Steve Irwin for each twin.
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Didn't want to? Huh? Revisionist history! The docs did it for both and it wasn't discussed. :)
- Louis Gray
LOL... I love how Louis just dropped the charge of Revisionist history into this argument. The Aussie equivalant is less diplomatic :)
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Ha. Of note, my littlest sister cut the cord for the nephew. Now that's odd. :)
- Louis Gray
I found out a sister of mine was married this way.
- Uncle CW™
Yes, CW - generally when we are married we cut the cord from our parents ;-) (or some do, at least)
- Jesse Stay
Louis, you stated from the time I got pg that you didn't want to cut the cord.
- Kristine Gray
...breaks out popcorn...
- Jesse Stay
Actually social media makes getting together with family so much less dysFUNctional. Great aunt Edna can't be that annoying over the internet as in person.
- Kristine Gray
My statement above was that I found out a sister was married on a post on facebook. No notice, no invitation, no nothing. Just a post on Facebook.
- Uncle CW™
I'm so glad my wife's not on FriendFeed :-) (she keeps toying with the idea though)
- Jesse Stay
That is weird CW.
- Kristine Gray
Did the whole family find out that way or just you?
- Kristine Gray
Kristine I'm glad you're on though :-)
- Jesse Stay
thanks, I should be reading Silent Spring but this is much better
- Kristine Gray
The Family in other states... I think.. She had some local family there but swore them to secrecy about it from others.
- Uncle CW™
Why the secrecy?
- Kristine Gray
I understand wanting a small wedding, but a notice would be nice. I could of sent a gift.
- Uncle CW™
No clue. both of them are 18 and he is off to Iraq three days afterwards. Almost sounded like a bad WW2 story.
- Uncle CW™
18? wow!
- Kristine Gray
Old enough to go through it without parents approvals or anything.
- Uncle CW™
so no parents there?
- Kristine Gray
Her mom and step dad were there, no idea about the grooms parents.
- Uncle CW™
what would we do without families to keep everything interesting?
- Kristine Gray
Careful with CW, Kristine. This talk isn't cheap. "Answers: $1, Short answers: $5, Correct answers: $25, Sarcastic comments: Free" So, if he's not charging you, you can't believe it.
- Louis Gray
Yeah no biggie. The choices of young adults are what Fox TV shows are made from.. so I guess this is just another story for another episode of Young beautiful rich somethings doing stupid things without thinking.
- Uncle CW™
married at 18- yeah, that ALWAYS works out
- Kristine Gray
well, i guess sometimes it does
- Kristine Gray
I certainly hope the best for them. Honestly do. Its just interesting that its Facebook that was used to announce and not really from them, but from another family member that was there. In the early 1900's being sent a written letter might of caused a similar shock but there would be time to digest the information before writing back and even then it could of been weeks or month that...

- Uncle CW™
Generally, I'd agree with you, Kristine, that 18 is too early. But my mom was 19 when she married my dad and they've been together 45 years.

Gratz and :( all rolled into one.

Jesse has an interesting point. Maybe it IS an oldest child thing. I'm the oldest, and I had my son all alone, with no one there. When my two sisters had their kids, the whole family camped out for hours. Even so, congratulations to Uncle Louis and Aunt Kristine!
- Trish R
That is a scratch-your-head-and-go-hmmmm kind of moment. Nonetheless, welcome new little one!
- Martha
Maybe this is a son/daughter thing that daughters "need" Mom there more than sons so (and daughter-in-laws have their own Moms)? Family dynamics are always unusual. Hey, when did Kristine join FriendFeed? I've been missing out.

Re: Services Need to Stop With the Twitter Kool-Aid - http://staynalive.com/article...
"Robert, that was my point, Twitter is great to get the word out, but I'm a paying customer and like Jesse was unaware of the issue until Jesse raised it in the blog post. Now, mind you my blog isn't "mission critical" by any stretch of the imagination, but a personal touch would be nice. Of course, I don't think I'm paying for that level of service, so I'll have to check the SLA again. I will monitor Twitter more closely and should probably have Rackspace tweets hit my mobile. That said, I couldn't be happier with Rackspace overall. Great products and great service."

I love FriendFeed but the fact that Bing and Google are making deals with Twitter and FriendFeed is yet another nail in why news makers will NOT support FriendFeed no matter how much we evangelize it. This is why if I were Paul Buchheit I'd spend every waking moment getting FriendFeed's feature set into Facebook as soon as possible.

A question: Does FriendFeed have to compete anymore? Is there any shame in coming 3rd or 4th? I know people who shoot with Fuji and Sony cameras, not because they are the best, but because they like it and it works for them.
- Johnny Worthington
But Robert - news makers have never supported Friendfeed--
- TechFuga
Good point. They don't bother since Fb owns Friendfeed. Remember, FF indirectly already has a deal with Bing becuase Fb has a deal with Bing. And FF is now indirectly owned by micrososft ( thier 15% stake in Fb, remember). I wouldn't worry so much.
- Roberto Bonini
FriendFeed won't win... but there is no reason it should not even run the race.
- Johnny Worthington
TechFuga: not true. I supported FriendFeed and I'm noticing a ton of action over on Twitter that, well, simply isn't happening here. http://twitter.com/scoblei... is just a taste.
- Robert Scoble
Roberto, I was going to make that point also. FF is no longer an independent site battling for market share. They are a technology proving ground for FB with a vibrant community. ;)
- Travis Koger
I finally removed the FriendFeed desktop notifier from my computer. It no longer updates in real time. It's a shame because it used to send me a notification within seconds of someone publishing on twitter or friendfeed - something that the desktop twitter clients couldn't even do because of Twitter API.
- joebrooks
Johnny: the problem is that FriendFeed is going to be just a niche player. It's certainly not the dream community I once dreamed of. Not saying it won't be fun, but already the home page isn't the kind of things I care about.
- Robert Scoble
And, Johnny, that realization is quite different than how I approached FriendFeed five months ago where I was demoing it to tech audiences around the world.
- Robert Scoble
Do you not think friendfeed still wins for easy conversations though? You still couldn't have done this on twitter. I hate trying to talk to people on Twitter.
- Simon Wicks
We are totally going to be niche... and I'm comfortable with that now. The coming issue which not many people talk about is the fact that all my social groups don't mix. I have 2 or 3 sets of friends, with different social norms and contexts. I like being in a few different places. Lumping them all on one service, and feeding them the different slices, is just to much trouble to manage for me.
- Johnny Worthington
Err, Robert. You just said "I once dreamed of". Sure everyone wanted FF to succeed, but not everyone saw it becoming the next facebook, myspace or twitter (or even google). Where FF is now does not detract from its awesomeness, does not give us an excuse to ignore it and it continues to be, for many of us, the social platform of the future. Your dreams arn't everyone elses' dreams.
- Roberto Bonini
Just a quick look at some of my lists and I notice that twitter in generally is about 6 minutes late, and sometimes are published out of order. Is that just my computer, or the same for everyone else? Being 6 minutes late to the conversation is not helpful.
- joebrooks
No, but I saw it as being more important than it is today, which if you are truthful, is not all that important. And, sorry, it's not the social platform of the future. It might be the best feature set of today, but remember Pownce? It had more features than Twitter and was a niche player like FriendFeed is. What happened to it?
- Robert Scoble
@Johnny, what if something like FB allowed you to categorize all your contacts into social groups... not just grouping them as you can now, but properly categorizing them and then determining which parts of your news feed is available to which category etc. I see the problem with FB contacts is that it is mostly the people you are really close to, which also dictates the type of...

- Travis Koger
I don't think you're wrong... Owing to the overall decline in numbers and use, what you have been doing (and are doing now) is, in effect preaching to the choir. What I don't understand is why your so intent on telling them they are all going to hell.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
J. Abdul: it's part of my own grieving process. It's also just my personality. I invested a LOT of my career into FriendFeed and now I realize that it just isn't going to be what I was thinking it would be.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert I appreciate that, and like a lot of other people I was right there with you... But at this point you are rubbing salt in the wound.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
Robert, I would say you invested your time into the idea of what FriendFeed could be, and that gave the idea a far amount of weight. When people look back at history and speak of the move to a real time web, your name will feature amongst the players.
- Johnny Worthington
And for what its worth you and your brother are the reason I, and a lot of other people are here, so, some of this (this turn the whole thing is taking) is hard to watch.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
Wrong choce of words there Robert. I meant, "platform" as in something you build on. This is a feature set to build upon in future social networks.
- Roberto Bonini
@Robert is FF becoming another Second Life: still alive but only for a few aficionados? FF is the tail of a long tail? :)
- Roldano
@Robert I feel your pain Robert - how many of us in the industry have had that feeling about some technology or company we actually worked for years on. But who knows what Fb will do with FF yet - none of us can see the future in technology. Something game changing comes along and bang, an existin technoloy becomes useful aain
- Arthur Coleman
Simon: for now, yes, it does win at conversations. That's one thing I will keep using it for. But that's like a sub feature of these things and it's only a matter of time before Twitter does comments. Facebook already has comments that work pretty well (albeit not as well as FriendFeed).
- Robert Scoble
@Robert All that being said, I don't blame you one bit for needing to get it out of your system. Its just hard to watch.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
J. Abdul-Qahhar: yeah, but part of my brand is to tell the truth and not necessarily what you want to hear. I got a TON of shit from people on Twitter telling me to shut up about FriendFeed already. My brand is about what's next, not what is, and, I also live in public. Which means I'm a butthead sometimes and that's also part of my brand. :-)
- Robert Scoble
BTW. Robert, thanks. You made me write that letter :)
- Johnny Worthington
Roldano: if FriendFeed turns into Second Life (which is doing quite well, albeit without the hype) that would be very cool and probably the best possible outcome at this moment.
- Robert Scoble
Johnny: that's why I keep telling you the way I see it. It might not be comfortable, but telling the truth ALWAYS builds stronger communities. Your letter demonstrates why.

IF bret and paul are to be belived, FF is not being orphaned by Facebook. There are new servers in the works, some work has been done to the code etc. i doubt money would be spend on new servers if FF was being left to die. I'm sticking around till we see what paul was hinting at.
- Roberto Bonini
Roberto, saying new servers in FB world is just moving the FF code to a FB server. I don't think any money has been spent, just space/cpu provisioned on an already massive farm.
- Travis Koger
Still - its an investment in FF's continued life. And i doubt they would do that, much less tell us about it, unless they were comitted to FF.
- Roberto Bonini
FriendFeed can't die! Things are so easy to put into FF (Bookmarklet) that newsmakers don't have to make a huge effort to "support" it.
- Nathan Snyder
Roberto: Travis is correct. New servers are just Paul's way of saying that everything is moving over to Facebook's datacenter. I'm sure they got some new toys, though, and that will help speed a little bit (FriendFeed is a LOT slower lately than it was a year ago) but my friends at Facebook say that not much, if any, engineering time is being dedicated to FriendFeed specifically. But I've said enough about that part and can't wait to see what Paul shows me soon.
- Robert Scoble
would be good to organize persuasive reasons for FB to nurture development of FriendFeed in the pure form we enjoy today. Thinking there may be some $$ value just in terms of PR - both internal and external. What else beyond that? What might motivate Facebook to actively support more open-source development of the FriendFeed platform? Could it make good return on that investment as a monstrously successful good vibe buzz machine - "the next Mozilla project"?
- Dan Freeman
Dan: open source community projects haven't seemed to go very far. Look at identi.ca.
- Robert Scoble
true more often than not - some do - but no need get sidetracked debating open-source! The Big Question to brainstorm is: what pitch can Paul polish to persuade FB to sincerely support continued growth of standalsone "pure" FF project
- Dan Freeman
Dan: the deeper problem for Paul is, where can he make the biggest impact on the world? Working on FriendFeed or working on Facebook? If I were him I would be 100% working on Facebook.
- Robert Scoble
FF can compete if news orgs can realize the benefits. Best way to do that is to see a competitor utilizing FF tools, gaining traffic, or doing something that makes others say "I want that."
- TheIndustryStandard
Another question for Paul: how can FF community help (even with the small but significant detail work - and bouncing spammers) ... what else?
- Dan Freeman
Robert, I agree, I can see a time when Facebook will be the equivalent of the telephone directory (white pages etc). Facebook is definitely where a difference can be made, especially with Paul's openness agenda.
- Travis Koger
"I would be 100% working on Facebook" - agree 100% - and Paul definitely has his work cut out for him there. Huge.
- Dan Freeman
Why is FaceBook so hard to like, it's laborious, filled with the wrong applications (Games like FARM, Friggin MAFIA) and is not simple in ease of use terms. I use it but find I spend too much time trying to figure where things are than actually get something done. I must have a learning disability I guess.

I don't mind the 'design' of Facebook, it is relatively clean, however the UX is where it is let down.
- Travis Koger
IMO, fb needs to integrate ff feature set and provide much more fine grained control over privacy. I want to be able to have public, less public and private information. I want to be able to control who gets what information. For instance, if I share a funny link it's fine for anyone to get it including google/bing, but if I'm sharing my location info I might only want my family to be able to see that.

News makers using twitter kills the news makers. I don't think friendfeed was ever about Newsmakers looking for a platform.
- Cjay
Cjay: every single newsmaker I know came here looking for it to be a new platform that would take Twitter on. RWW even used it to plan out their editorial in a private group here. When I choose a new platform I'm definitely looking to use it as a platform for newsmakers to discuss things. I saw FriendFeed as being a new kind of talk radio. Actually, what has captured everyone's interest...

- Robert Scoble
The news makers platform is pure RSS. Twitter and friendfeed feels like the old belt clip pager from the 80's, a quick message here and there, but no way in hell that your going to convey any detail about any news using a platform like friendfeed or twitter.
- Cjay
RSS channels are the "WAVE" of the future. Everybody has a channel, Google wave is a small ripple in a big pond..Google should have never told anybody about it until it was finished. Companies have been using this idea anyway on internal Lan/vpn for years... and all of a sudden Google comes out with wave, like its some holy grail. Change Facebook to Friendbook and call it done.

I'll point out that today, FF features are in FB. The news stream is live (if you want it) I want the Status stream live, since I don't want apps in my stream and have made the status stream my default. FB is too cluttered, and the ads are pointless and annoying. I find FF far superior in terms of design, as I do Twitter, but I understand that ads are required for most websites to survive. I just wish that they would be nicer and less obtrusive (and that Friends would stop sending me Mafia Wars Requests)

Competing With Hulu a Bad Move for Comcast - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
"I fundamentally disagree with your thesis regarding Comcast competing with Hulu. In fact, value is created (for Comcast) precisely because they are moving in both directions along the content value chain--even if that movement is asymmetric. It's not clear to whom you address your arguments, but I think it is safe to assume you are not persuading any Comcast executives. Your most persuasive arguments center around Comcast's poor history of user experience design in the DVR space and their lackluster reputation for service. However, Comcast is smartly using branding to separate the Comcast brand from the Fancast brand. Furthermore, if Comcast can leverage its existing content relationships to bring Fancast content to devices connected to TVs BEFORE Hulu does, advantage Comcast. As a Comcast subscriber and a Hulu user, I can tell you I am constantly looking for entertainment value and clearly I'm not alone. Hulu is wonderful, but most consumers want to watch Hulu content on their TVs..."

Re: The Legitimacy of Border Policy - http://www.willwilkinson.net/flybott...
"I guess I might qualify as one of those "defenders of the legitimacy of strong immigration restrictions". I hope I'm not being obtuse in my analysis of the arguments. I don't agree with the premise that immigration policy and associated border security are in fact "policies that subject them [foreigners] to state force". A foreigner becomes to immigration policy and border laws when he freely chooses to enter the sovereign territory of a neighbor. Until such time, he is not subject to state force. Secondly, to whom do you extend the participatory privilege in defining the immigration laws of a sovereign entity? To those within 20 miles of a border, 50 miles, 100 miles? To those that express a desire to emigrate in 1 year, 2 years, 5 years? Where do you draw the border line (pun intended)?"

Content Aggregators are Killing Content Creators - http://www.techipedia.com/2009...
"This is a discussion that has no beginning and no end. Content aggregators, RSS readers and new social networks are all aiming to deliver the most sought-after content to the people who want the news, wherever they are comfortable. Some of these sites also offer the ability to have commentary, including Facebook, Google Reader, FriendFeed, SocialMedian, and many others. This new world is an evolution of the Web and it cannot be undone. But what people often miss from this discussion is that each of these sites drives significant traffic. The examples you gave of people copying full text of a story somewhere else is in the very slim minority from my experience. For me, FriendFeed is the #2 driver of traffic to my Web site, behind only Google. The more I participate on social networks like Twitter, Socialmedian, Facebook, and Google Reader, the more my content is being shared and distributed and discussed.
