- Simon Wicks
Thanks, Simon. I've not started going through these yet. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm only going to add the people i actually talk to on here. I have a lot less people on my follow list than you, so its a bit easier for me :)
- Simon Wicks
Remember, guys. According to FB, you're only allowed 5000 friends. Spend them wisely.
- James Myatt
As if we weren't before? Were they really that many people here who didn't also have a FB account, even if they didn't list it in their profile? I've been with FB since 2004

Well, with this news it is pushing me to start using my real name for web services and to kill (or at least slowly stop using) the tomit persona that I have used for many years. Find me here... http://www.facebook.com/ronaldb...

FF better figure out how not to destroy themselves (if possible) with this merger. Friendfeed in the FB interface will not work. I think FF really just f*cked themselves.

I'm on Facebook, but I don't have a name in my profile URL (yet; I'm still new...). But if you want it, it's http://www.facebook.com/profile... -- if you friend me, tell me you're from FF.
- Dennis Jernberg
I don't freaking have one because I never wanted to sign up for Facebook. :P Now I find out that through no fault of my own I'm technically a Facebook user? GAH.

http://facebook.com/alex.covic - I will friend everybody - for those of you concerned with friend/family + privacy = you can create lists (just like ff-groups) to keep FF-users in a different corner;-).

I do not use it much LOL I just post to it from other sites so to fill up my friends stream, I do get messages and some status in text. Anyone who really wants to add me, use the facebook link on my profile. :o)
- David Gross
www.facebook.com/drodzand you won't see much since I got the privacy settings on max in Facebook. Just another reason why I think Facebook is completely different from friendfeed. I hope they keep friendfeed running because I use both services in diametrically diverse ways.

http://www.facebook.com/kimbers... (I can remember if I commented on this already. I don't see "You" on the list, but I'm tired. So, hopefully, I didn't. If I did, oh well.

Thanks Rob, I had forgotten my username for I always used my email address to login - I found there is a settings > username > change thing that lets you change your username once and then you get a facebook.com/username url!

I am thinking about just using my Public Page more. Keep my regular profile for family and coworker data. Follow me here if you want more of the type of posts I do here of Friendfeed. http://www.facebook.com/pages...

Today’s Doctor Who fan has always-on, ever-present access to not only the newest iteration of their favorite show but all the spin-offs, supplemental features, fan films and other esoterica related to their favorite program. They probably don’t realize how different their situation is from the early Sixties, when one’s Doctor Who fix consisted solely of a once-a-week viewing. If you missed it, you never saw it again. And in the case of many stories from that decade, that was quite literally what happened. Before Youtube, home video, or even reruns, the BBC faced a real quandary. Broadcast tapes were huge, bulky reels that took up a substantial amount of shelf space, and since a show was almost always viewed only once and then forgotten, the mighty Beeb soon began running out of space for all of its programs. Agreements with actors unions also dictated programs could only be shown a set number of times, limiting the usefulness of the archive. Their policy at the time was to erase and...

Fifteen years after The Kids in the Hall aired on CBC Television, the five original members of the Canadian sketch comedy team have reassembled in North Bay, Ont., to shoot an eight-part TV series. Death Comes to Town will premiere on CBC in January. The series is about a killing spree in a small town and the trial that follows. It opens with the character of Death, played by Mark McKinney, getting off a Greyhound bus. "It's our version of comedy… with a whodunit as the engine," Kids co-founder Bruce McCulloch told CBC Radio's cultural affairs program Q from North Bay on Friday. The troupe's five members — Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, McCulloch, McKinney and Scott Thompson — reunited at Montreal's Just for Laughs festival in 2007 and toured across North America last year. "We never broke up," McCulloch said. "We just didn't do anything." via cbc.ca Permalink | Leave a comment »

We like to think our sports offer a way of settling questions too complex, too fractured or even too outdated and old-fashioned to be answered on the square in the real world. Honour, fair play, a level playing field – choose your cliché – it is supposed to be the essence of sports, and central to its universal appeal. Then Thierry Henry comes along and leaves his fingerprints on the ball, and the biggest crime scene to hit sports since, well, since the last time we went through these sort of conniptions. via thestar.com Permalink | Leave a comment »

AMC unveils a new version of "The Prisoner" Sunday night, and while it's not an exact copy of the Patrick McGoohan original, it does share more than one element of the 1960s series. Chief among them? It's a bit of a mind-frak. The story of a man ( Jim Caviezel) who wakes up in a remote village with no explanation of how he got there, who finds his name has been replaced with a number -- Six -- and who is at the mercy of the Village's temperamental ruler, Two ( Ian McKellen), "The Prisoner" is a tale of paranoia that often purposely doesn't make the most sense. The idea is to have you questioning its reality (and maybe your own) just as Six does. In honor of the miniseries' debut, we look at some of our other favorite head trips in pop culture. via zap2it.com Permalink | Leave a comment »

The planets will align to make the Earth go boom on Dec. 21, 2012, according to the Maya legend peddled in 2012, Roland Emmerich's latest schlock apocalypse. An event of far great gravity occurs this very day, Nov. 13, 2009. The newly opened 2012 will be joined at Toronto multiplexes by three other bad movies: Antichrist, Pirate Radio and The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. This alignment of awfulness could cause brains to explode across the city. Or maybe not. Forewarned is forearmed, and lots of people will go to see these movies precisely because they're bad – hoping against hope they'll be of the "so bad it's good" variety via thestar.com Permalink | Leave a comment »

The house is dark and quiet. There is a noise in a room. Someone enters carrying a flashlight that promptly dies and refuses to revive despite several smacks to the side. The music on the soundtrack swells. A hand reaches toward a doorknob. The door creaks as it opens. And then ... a cat jumps out! As the figure on screen and the viewers in the audience all breathe a sigh of relief, they fail to notice that some guy in a novelty mask has emerged from behind a wardrobe. It's a familiar scene, one that has played out in a seemingly infinite number of variations. Over the decades, horror movies have inevitably relied on such clichés in their attempts to terrify. New ones occasionally emerge, too – see YouTube for "Cellphone Failures in Horror Movies," a hilarious compendium of scenes in which ill-fated characters discover they can't get a signal. Every thriller must sometimes resort to tactics that are tried and true. Likewise, the genre's best new ideas get copied ad infinitum by...
