"As a devoted FriendFeed user, I have tried to convince all of my friends and family to join the site, but a handful of them never quite got their accounts set up properly. With our new Recommend friends feature, I can fix their FriendFeed experience by recommending subscriptions to them." Try it out at http://friendfeed.com/friends...

What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else.
- FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you.
- Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible.
- FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it.
- Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about?
- Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like....
- FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug.
- Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog.
- Bret Taylor
User-driven...I like.
- Josh Haley
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us?
- Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender?
- Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed.
- Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended
- Bret Taylor
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical)
- Meryn Stol
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant.
- FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.
- Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn)
- Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations

Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :)

- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday.
- Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

“When it comes to valuation, making money is a real obstacle. Our profitability has been a real drag on our valuation,” said Mr. Fried. “Once you have profits, it’s impossible to just make stuff up. That’s why we’re switching to a ‘freeconomics’ model. We’ll give away everything for free and let the market speculate about how much money we could make if we wanted to make money. That way, the sky’s the limit!”

"Three days later, at an all-company meeting in the same amphitheater, Hastings announced that there would be no Netflix Player. Instead, he would spin off the device, letting developer Anthony Wood take the technology and his 19-person team to a small company Wood had founded years earlier called Roku. But Netflix, which had already begun streaming movies to users' PCs, was hardly giving up on the idea of streaming them to televisions as well. Instead, the company would take a more stealthy—and potentially even more ambitious—approach. Rather than design its own product, it would embed its streaming-video service into existing devices: TVs, DVD players, game consoles, laptops, even smartphones. Netflix wouldn't be a hardware company; it would be a services firm. The crowd was stunned. In half an hour, Hastings had completely reinvented Netflix's strategy."

It's fun to dream of a day when cable companies and satellite content providers are out of business. I've been really impressed with Netflix's Watch Now service. The breadth of content available is impressive and combined with newer release TV and films via DVD mail the service is powerfully poised to replace cable and satellite.... one of these days hopefully.
- Thomas Hawk
It's endless though -- if cable and satellite companies go out of business or are no longer in the content supply business -- there will be a new evil supplier.
- Brian Sullivan
Look at it another way: if cable companies go out of business, who provides the pipe to deliver the content? The vast majority of people in this country get broadband via cable. Replacing them would require a huge infrastructure investment from somebody. Who's going to do that? Phone companies? Maybe, but they're shilling their own content services and aren't interested in being dumb pipes for everyone else's content.
- The original Kevin
@ Kevin Pedraja: Electric companies if they can get approvals. I think there are a lot of lawsuits right now trying to block the powerline companies saying it's unfair competition.
- ChiliMac
Netflix and TIVO with over the air content has made me very happy. Yes, I miss ESPN and I miss seeing some Cubs games that are on ComCast sports but I can go to bars for that. I LOVE not sending ComCast $100 a month.
- ChiliMac
@Cristo good point. Personally I've got CNBC all day at the office so that's less important to me, but I suppose much of the info from CNBC could be gotten via the Web, even their website. In terms of Monday Night Football, that one's easy for a big chunk of America (although not all). Do like I did and buy a cheap OTA HDTV antenna and then capture the signal via your Media Center PC or TiVo. As a bonus you get to skip all the commercials.
- Thomas Hawk
Kevin, if the cable companies go out of business then they sell the pipes to someone else who can more intelligently manage them. Personally I'm using AT&T's uVerse offering right now for internet and it's much faster than cable anyways. Maybe by the time they go out of business their pipes will be antiquated technology as well.
- Thomas Hawk
The ecosystems of networks gets larger: netflix is a network. Realtime is next.
- Cliff Gerrish
from iPhone
Thomas, but that's sorta my point. AT&T is an alternative, but they're not interested in being a dumb pipe. They want you to pay for UVerse. And do you think their prices wouldn't go up if they weren't competing with cable? The bottom line is that selling bandwidth isn't a good business. Companies make money from all the services they layer on top of it.
- The original Kevin
And an antenna is great if all you want to watch is broadcast network TV. How many people do that nowadays? Not many.
- The original Kevin
Christo, Ah, good point. I don't watch sports generally speaking so I wasn't even aware that they were on ESPN, last I remember Monday Night Football was on ABC. I think businesses will still have a need for specialty programming like CNBC. But like the Bloomberg terminal that sits on my desk, I suspect that those offerings will become increasing tailored for specific business customers...

- Thomas Hawk
AT&T is more than just a dumb pipe in terms of what I pay them. It's an obscene amount of money between my fiber internet, 2 iPhones in the house and a landline that we sort of have to keep alive for now so that the kids or babysitter can phone us from home if need be.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, agree on uVerse. But it's coming. Fiber is the future not cable.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, exactly. And in lots of cities and towns, cable providers have negotiated deals with municipal governments that effectively make them local utilities. There's no direct competition by mutual agreement.
- The original Kevin
So Thomas, essentially you just traded DirecTV for AT&T?
- The original Kevin
Cristo, I thought it was illegal to ban dishes, or is that just for single family dwellings? I wouldn't want Uverse personally, for a variety of reasons including that they already see too much of my traffic ;)

- Tinfoil 2.0
@Kevin. Well, yes, I traded DirecTV for uVerse, but the bill is lower and I get fast internet service with it. Plus I was able to cancel my DSL service that I was formerly paying for. I'm not sure exactly what I pay for uVerse, but it's a heck of a lot less than I used to pay for DirecTV and slower DSL internet service combined.
- Thomas Hawk
Good question Cristo. I'll have to check at home tonight and report back.
- Thomas Hawk
@Cristo: Yes I have internet. Not with Comcast.
- ChiliMac
They advertise lower, but I think when all is said and done it's about $50-60 for basic cable and Internet.

Despite how crappy their internet service is, my dad is still willing to stick to Time Warner because of League Pass and the ability to watch every single NBA game during the season. Time Warner even provides his telephone service. I still think it's going to be a while before cable dies.
- Victor Ganata
I tell you what I don't miss with Netflix though is commercials. I've become so spoiled from watching TV series via Netflix with no commercials that I'm finding myself bummed out these days even having to push the fast forward button on the Media Center remote for the OTA content. Even having to listen to 3 or 4 seconds of an ear splitting commercial before I quickly push the fast forward button feels like a pain compared to how fluid the commercial break transitions via Netflix.
- Thomas Hawk
That's a Huge point Thomas. Commercials (and lower quality) are exactly the reasons I don't watch much TV and movies on the Internet.

"Fox crams 18 commercials into every Sunday night airing of The Simpsons, earning 54 cents per viewer. But, according to research firm Sanford C. Bernstein, Fox airs just three commercials for the same show on Hulu--a site it co-owns with NBC Universal and Disney--earning a measly 18 cents per viewer." - Huh, I had no idea Hulu was already doing that well, relatively speaking, in per-viewer revenue.

Flickr Launches “Galleries” - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

Earlier today Flickr launched their latest feature: Galleries. Galleries allow you to be a virtual curator, selecting up to 18 photos to add to an exhibit of sorts on your Flickrstream. To get a sense of what I mean, you can check out the first gallery I built myself here: Motel America. I also made a second gallery highlighting 18 recent favorite photos of mine from DMU’s Lightbox. You can check that gallery out here. Galleries seem like a really interesting way to let you showcase some of the most interesting content that you find on Flickr. While Flickr already has faves, you might think of galleries more as super faves. Photos that you like so much, or built around a theme that you like so much, that you’ve decided to dedicate a special place in your photostream to it. I really like this latest addition and am glad to see Flickr offer it. I hope that lots of people on Flickr take advantage of it. I know that I plan on building quite a few galleries over time.
- Thomas Hawk
I understand the 18-image/video limit, but I wish there were a way to gather shots from group events like family outings or weddings better. I thought this might have been it at first, but no. At least Flickr is working on new social stuff that draws from the collective strength it gets from having a lot of people share images.
- Stephen Shankland
Photos that Flickr or a user on Flickr designates "moderate" or "restricted" cannot be put into galleries.
- Thomas Hawk
Stephen, that feature would seem to make sense. It would also seem to make sense, using your example, to be able to include your own photos in a gallery, something that can't be done today. Maybe flickr should consider allowing more than 18 photos and the ability to include your own photos as well as a premium feature for Pro accounts. I'm not sure I understand the 18 photo limit...
more...
- Thomas Hawk
I do think though that curating is a terribly important thing and am pleased to see Flickr build a feature that emphasizes this. If anyone ever wants to see an amazing documentary on one of century's greatest curators, Alfred Stieglitz, check out this one out: http://www.netflix.com/Movie...
- Thomas Hawk
I wonder if Flickr will allow you to use some variation of a gallery as your main photo layout. I'd like the option to feature certain pictures on the first page of my photo stream but there's no real way to do that now.
- The original Kevin
Kevin, as of now you can't include your own photos in any gallery. Personally I think a good option would be for Flickr to offer larger galleries than 18 photos (maybe up to 100 or 200 or even unlimited?) and allow you to include your own photos as a premium feature for paid Pro users.
- Thomas Hawk
I really wish Flickr would take down the wall between our photos and our friends. They need to give us the ability to treat our own photos the same way we treat others, to favorite them and add them to galeries. It isn't right that I have to go to favorites to see my friends photo's and then my own sets to see my own. Other than that I can't wail to play with galleries when I get home.
- ChiliMac
One more issue I just found. You cannot add to a gallery from your favorites slide show. They'll have to add that.
- ChiliMac
they should let you fave galleries as well as view galleries made by your contacts/friends/family.

It's official! The Tru Blood drink has now been 'de-fictionalized' and emerges into reality as a delicious blood orange carbonated drink. Meticulously crafted, the Tru Blood Drink is an exact replica of the bottle design as seen on True Blood. The 14oz glass Tru Blood bottle is stained in a rich red, with raised Tru Blood English lettering and matching Japanese Kanji. This blood orange flavored soda is slightly tart, lightly sweet and subtly carbonated. Designed to taste great while matching the appearance of Bill’s favorite drink, the drink pours like a regular soda, but with the standing appearance in a glass is stormy and mysterious.

Apple, for Christ's sake - Sync. Over. Wifi. Do it.

While you're at it, stop keeping a fucking hardcopy of apps. Keep a simple text log of what I've downloaded and just re-download when I want to load out my iPhone.

Drag & drop music? I need that! Photos? Ditto.

Finally: Stop threatening to delete EVERYTHING! This is scary & not intuitive.

I invariably don't sync because I refuse to strip and burn all my data just to add ONE SONG. Because of this I've lost important information. Speaking of which, I don't think my Notes get synced - which is where I keep a lot of random yet essential info. And I've lost this before >:( Really it's all just a ploy for me to buy a MobileMe account, and I hate being taken for a mug.

This whole issue is all the more ridiculous when you understand that Home Sharing is basically what I want but for portable devices! Fingers crossed someone realises this and creates a nifty hack to fool iTunes into wirelessly sharing to my iPhone. </hint>

I've been calling for wireless syncing since I rolled with an iPod Video!

Hear, hear. Wifi sync is long overdue. I'm thinking their trying to protect the Apple TV and the 4 people that use it.

WiFi sync could be a massive drain on the iPhone battery.
- Bill Sodeman
True, but then again most devices can be charged from a plug socket. This may seem inconsequential to plugging directly into the Mac and syncing as regular, but this will become more and more essential when iTunes learns to granulate the syncing process. Right now it's just way too bloated.

Back when I had G1 Zune with Wi-Fi syncing, I never used it. I configured it just to say, hey it syncs wirelessly! Then never used it again.
- Mac64
You can sync big fat media files over WiFi or have a battery that doesn't commit suicide. Pick one.
- David Chartier
from iPhone
David: True enough that when you want to replace large amounts of data on your iPhone/iPod it's better to directly sync connected to the Mac, but if iTunes granulates the syncing process I can easily add a single song/photo/app without hooking up. It just makes sense to me. I think it's sad I have to use apps like AirSharing to do this instead. I have whole albums wirelessly synced this...

Apple is half way there with MobileMe...Kinda... If we can sync Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks over 3G, it shouldn't be hard to sync Apps over wifi.

Time-plain & simple. Reading blogs is much quicker. So, unless you are distractingly attractive (extremely cute can work), or astonishingly entertaining, most of us would rather read your blog, or the transcript of your video blog. Exception:when the information you are sharing is best served by a visual demonstration.

yo so guys, I would seriously consider packing up and moving over to either the UK, Sweden, France or Spain. Spotify is *that* good. :)

it's crazy...i can search for say all eminem tracks on my desktop. Save all 100 of them to a playlist. Then can download the playlist to spotify on my iphone to play whenever i please...incredible.

The sound quality on all of the iProducts is so bad, I literally can't use them for listening to music. No one else in the universe seems to mind, but my iPhone's tinniness hurts my ears. (All eq tricks applied, yes.)
- Christopher Galtenberg
Did you already have a premium account Zee, or did the availability of the app make you make the change? Interested to know :)

Haven't tried downloading anything to the phone yet, but it takes about five seconds to start playing a song when streaming it over T-Mobile UK's 3G and there's none of that buffering like in the Last.fm mobile player. Using the Android version, by the way.

Tax refund check from California state bounces… « Jewel City Juice - http://jewelcityjuice.wordpress.com/2009...
La Ligne, Spidra Webster, Jimminy, CoG of FF and 14 other people liked this
"I attempted to deposit my $29 tax refund check from the state of California in my bank account this week. I had filed my taxes on the late side, which I think must have been compounded by the state budget issues, so I didn’t get the check until last week. So I deposited the check right away. For a young journalist like myself, $29 isn’t something to sneeze at. (That’s almost a tank of gas!) But for one of the most powerful states in the union, even when you take the budget crisis into account, $29 should be short change. Right? So imagine my surprise when I learned that the check had bounced. Not only was the $29 gone, but I had been hit with a bounced check fee as well!"

I wonder if you owned money to the government, if you could send them a check with a letter stating that it would not be good until the next month. Would that have gone over as well?
