Thanks everyone. I'm in the pub making the moat of it. Being mocked for going online too. - Michael Barton from iPod
Drinks all around ;) - Pedro Beltrao
@Michael Congratulations! - Duncan Hull
Congratulations^2! - Bill Hooker

Great: jetlag plus a broken toe now... :(
Ouch, not great... Sorry to read that. - Ricardo Vidal

My mum briefly appeared on skype. Think I freaked her out with a chat message. Little steps :-)
LOL - I briefly disussed #wave with my mum last week and we still don't know who's the more confused..... - Graham Steel
My 80 yr old grandmother thinks that when she talks (with video) with my aunt via skype that it's a video recording. Despite the fact that she's interacting with my aunt, live... LOL - Ricardo Vidal

I have Paulo Nuin sightings on FriendFeed. Confirm? http://friendfeed.com/search...
Confirmed! :) - Ricardo Vidal

"Have you ever searched on PubMed and wished you could get the PDF right away like on Pubget? Now you can, with one click." - Ricardo Vidal from Bookmarklet
this sounds really useful - I just did a demo of PubMed for my class last night - just added a link to PaperPlane on our resource page http://getcheminfo.wikispaces.com/resourc... - we'll see how well it works - Jean-Claude Bradley
Richard Akerman
This looks great :) - Ricardo Vidal
Thanks Ricardo. I definitely consider it a draft and welcome feedback. http://ff.im/ajGDh - Richard Akerman

FriendFeed User Locations - Google Shared Map - http://maps.google.com/maps...
ff_user_locations.jpg
Roll call...this can be great if we all participate. Add yourself to this shared map. I created a placemark on the 2 major intersections near where I live. - Mark Krynsky
or just list location...I'll start...Chatsworth, CA - Mark Krynsky
I would but I won't - €€€€€€€€
near Chicago - LogEx
How do I add myself? - Mo Kargas
Puyallup, WA - Bren, Photophobe
Mo, I'm a newb to the shared maps stuff, but I turned on collaboration and allowed anyone to edit the map. There should be an edit button and then you can add a placemark. - Mark Krynsky
erm...Adelaide, SA, Australia - Mo Kargas
Sydney, Australia. - Andrew Trinh
Yeah, I don't see how to add anything to the map - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
But you already have Rahsheen. - Andrew Trinh
Well it's working because I see others are adding themselves...Make sure you are logged into your Google account. - Mark Krynsky
After most have put their placemarks on, don't let anyone edit it because there's always someone out there waiting to fuck shit up. - Andrew Trinh
@Andrew...good point. I just changed it from public to unlisted which only makes the map available to those with the URL. - Mark Krynsky
Even so, last time we had the Confessions account details on FF it was tinkered with. - Andrew Trinh
I added mine, but in the process of learning I think I nudged the Sydney, Australia points off a little. Sorry. - Rob H.
Ok, think I did it! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
Robert bought me a new house in the northern suburbs. - Andrew Trinh
@Bec...nice. You are the first brave female on here. - Mark Krynsky
Cool idea, Mark! I was thinking something like this would be fun the other day. Duly added myself - or at least the nearest big intersection. ;) - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Mousing over the usernames shows your Google profile info...cool. - Mark Krynsky
I marked a bus stop near my house. But not TOO near. :) - Nine
If you haven't yet...go add FriendFeed to your Google Profile...it will then auto-discover and allow you to add a ton of other profiles you have. - Mark Krynsky
Thanks for the profile tip - I hadn't updated it since I moved here! - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Added myself. Verona, Italy - Stefano
Added. Sydney, Australia - Jay
Added. Doha, Qatar. - Mohamed J
Thanks guys. This is coming along nicely. It's great to have as a resource to see where everyone is from. Hopefully this can become a standard feature on FF one day. - Mark Krynsky
Canterbury, Melbourne, Victoria added - Duncan Riley
Athens, Greece added, too :) - George Tziralis
Added. - Atul Arora
Ace idea, I've added mine in Kent, England. - Kol Tregaskes
There's no spot for "Hell, Eternity" ... *sigh* I'll have to give in to my worldly location... - Kyle Brady
Added, Near Paris, France - Olivier Castets
Asia's letting the side down - Toby Graham
added, North London, UK - Rory
Current count: 13 US, 11 Europe, 3 Australia, 1 Middle East. Happy to see many others add themselves overnight. Hoping more will continue this. - Mark Krynsky
Done ! Waterloo Belgium - Jacopo Gio
Added myself! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Hey Robert Haas - We're apparently neighbors. - edit. Okay maybe not, unless you live at the airport. XD - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I've read the instruction and still don't see the button thing to add myself. I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. -
@Jill, make sure you are logged into your Google account and then click on the edit button above the list of names already on the map. You will then see the pushpin in the upper left hand side of the map. - Mark Krynsky
Thanks Mark! I see it all now. -
Great idea! - Alan Le
Added. Seems like there are a lot of us in the Bay Area...we must do a get together at some point. - Neal Jansons
@Neal yea, we really need a FriendFeed meetup. I might be up there for Web 2.0 in March...or we can have one at SXSW if a large number of us are going. Let's plan and get the Upcoming page going. - Mark Krynsky
Am I the only FriendFeeder in VA? - Aram Zucker-Scharff
@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up? - Neal Jansons
Maybe we can talk Paul & Bret into letting us invade the FF offices for a meetup in conjunction with Web 2.0? That would be sooooo cool! - Mark Krynsky
Oooh, now that's a really great idea. - Neal Jansons
I'm there :) - Alejandro
Yay Alejandro...first South American..and my old stomping grounds in Argentina no less :) - Mark Krynsky
Neat. Added. - Rodfather
Alright Shey! We finally have a Canadian...let's see if your fellow compatriot Mark Wilson joins the fray. - Mark Krynsky
@NiceFishFilms, your pushpin seems a bit off up there in Russia. Dana Point is thousands of miles from there :) - Mark Krynsky
Oh, I see now...you added 2. You're a pushpin litterbug :) - Mark Krynsky
Added.. - CW™
Another snowflake pushpin *waves to Shey* - Micah Wittman

London EC1 UK - Joe Dawson
Added - Bwana ☠
Pinned! sheesh this just cost me 1/2 hour of time as I scrolled thru all the folks :) - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Except for Bret, there are no FriendFeeders on the penninsula between San Jose and San Francisco. So much for Silicon Valley early adopters. - Ryan Kuder
Added! I'm the first in The Netherlands :-) - TobiasVerhoog.com
Added. First in Japan! - rawwell
London, Ontario, Canada. Represent!! - Mark Wilson
I think I added me. HOpe it worked - Amani
This is truly awesome! - Mathew™ one of a kind
Cluelessness alert! I'm not seeing how to add my pushpin! - Hutch Carpenter
For some reason whenever i use google maps in creation-mode, it defaults to some other maps I've used, not the one I'm trying to access - ah, figured it out. Had to de-activate some other collaborative maps - anna sauce
Added. What a great way to see who's on FF in Austin, TX! - Carter Rabasa
Added myself in Shenzhen,China. - Steve Chou

Por acaso vi o Saramago numa estação de serviço na auto-estrada do norte. Area de serviços da Antuã se bem me lembro. Estava a dormir no banco de trás e o motorista baixote na conversa ao telemóvel enquanto duas senhoras entraram para comer/beber algo... :P - Ricardo Vidal

Has anyone used Web 2.0 tools like FriendFeed, Twitter, etc. to initiate or implement collaborative science? I'm writing a series of pieces about new technology in scientific communication, and I'd love to talk to someone who's actually used these sorts of tools to do actual science. Let me know!
If you'd rather take it straight to email, you can email me at the address listed here: http://ouroboros.wordpress.com/about... - Chris Patil
And by the way, this is for a journal, not my blog. - Chris Patil
Thanks Pierre. I will definitely follow up with the people involved in that thread. Keep 'em coming, folks! - Chris Patil
I'm not sure this counts but the biogang (http://biogang.openwetware.org/) was sort of founded/created via Twitter/FriendFeed interactions. Lots of projects there. Also, the bioinformatics survey was also propelled by T/FF if I recall. - Ricardo Vidal
Jean-Claude Bradley started a spreadsheet where he wrote this kind of information : https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... - Pierre Lindenbaum
This is really amazing, you guys. Thank you. JC, the spreadsheet is incredible. - Chris Patil
There are so many examples on discussion boards like ScientistSolutions, Molecular Station, etc. (Disclaimer, I work for SSI). I could give a you a list of at least 50 specific threads on our site. Here's a recent favorite http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t8853-h... - Rusty Bishop
I just added to the spreadsheet re: the help I got with CSV munging shell scripts earlier. Would discovery of papers through social bookmarking be considered collaborative science? - Mr. Gunn
@Mr. Gunn - no, i don't think so. Collaboration suppose to be productive - if discussion about papers within the group brought all participants to consensus that could be collaboration via social bookmarking with discussions. But bookmarking sites don't provide discussions. Even they would, it will take for a long while for scientists to start discuss about papers online - simple online collaboration. My thoughts also here - http://hematopoiesis.info/2009... - Alexey
Chris - Carmen Drahl made a nice video showing how FriendFeed is used to collaborate with scientists (second vid on the right) http://pubs.acs.org/cen... - Jean-Claude Bradley
Pierre - thanks for posting the spreadsheet - it is nice to see these little projects get re-use - Jean-Claude Bradley
Concretely, the References Wanted room (http://friendfeed.com/rooms...) has really been useful in writing up articles so I can rapidly get my hands on hard-to-come by references in journals to which my institution does not subscribe. But I'm not sure this is a great thing to bring up in your article, except in a vague way; we're not quite clear which side of the law participating re-distributors are on (fair use, or not?) It's not quite the same as discovering papers as per Mr. Gunn. - Heather
Sci-Mate is a very recently opened collaboration to develop Web 2.0 tools for the benefit of researchers. http://www.sci-mate.org/ - Christopher Dyer
I have recently started a project shared on a wiki + google code + zotero but it is still early days http://openwetware.org/wiki... - Pedro Beltrao
open notebook science should qualify, thinking about usefulchem as example of wiki and google spreadsheets like http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... - the list on wikipedia is helpful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Mike Chelen
I Added the GeneWiki paper in Jean-Claude's spreadsheet https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... - Pierre Lindenbaum
Chris - if you are asking for a more technical answer - UsefulChem and the ONSchallenge run mainly on a combination of wiki/blog/Google Spreadsheets - Jean-Claude Bradley
Pierre - thanks for the addition - Jean-Claude Bradley
Maybe this is where Google Wave will turn out to be useful once we all realise that we're not flying around Beginners Island naked like in Second Life ;-) - Sally Church
Sally - do you have a link to the island where everyone flies around naked? Sounds like fun :) - Jean-Claude Bradley
Of course I'm naked but my feline fur hides that pretty well - Jean-Claude Bradley

Hmm. My timeline has not updated in > 2 hours, but my mentions are updating. Weird...am I alone? <crickets>
I think twitter's API is having issues. Haven't seen any updates in a while. Although they are showing up in FF - Ricardo Vidal

Nice! I can't wait to move onto a modern day computer. This laptop of mine is steps away from the recycle bin :-) - Ricardo Vidal
Just got a new monitor myself, which reminded my that my 7 year old video card needed updating, too, which reminded me that my 7 year old CPU needed updating, which reminded my hard drives that they were 7 years old. Now they're telling me they're retiring, too. - Mr. Gunn

To all those people asking about Wave invites a) I don't know if/how many we get b) please form an orderly queue :-)
Since I have seen lots of people asking, but nobody offering, I conclude that the new invites haven't gone out yet. Has anybody actually received a new account today yet? - Matt Leifer
i've seen someone tweeting that he has 8 invites. don't know if it was fake or not. now i start forming the queue :) - Endre Sebestyen
Is this the queue :) - Kubke
Are we forming the queue here then? If so, here I am :) Thanks! (allyson.lurena at that gmail email account) - Allyson Lister
The BBC suggest that each account gets 5 invites (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1...), but I read on Techcrunch yesterday that each account got 8 nominations (not invites, merely suggestions...). There's obviously no definitive info out there. Anyway, if there's invites going, and this is the queue, count me in :) (sjcockell at googlemail) - Simon Cockell
I saw some comment about release at 4pm BST but no idea where that came from or if it is accurate - Cameron Neylon
Queuing... - Yann Abraham
This totally reminds me about how I got my googlemail account. Consider me enqueued :) - Dan Hagon
I hereby formally join THE Wave queue :) - Graham Steel
queuing: bjhaugen@gmail.com - Brian Haugen
Hi. rich.bradshaw at that gmail thing. - Rich
Me? barton.michael@gmail.com - Michael Barton
And me (but you already knew that...). - Jan Aerts
I will queue belatedly, but hope for an account of my own :D dan.swan at the googleplexes mail servers - Daniel Swan
Queuing up in orderly fashion. - Jill O'Neill
queuing. this is like Wimbledon. - Sarah Kendrew
guess I'll also get in line. google acct: michael.kuhn - Michael Kuhn
Tapping foot in line: rvidal - Ricardo Vidal
News is popping up everywhere that the invites are rolling out, but I do not believe it... - Egon Willighagen
Invites for sale on ebay already... - Ricardo Vidal
Lines right up: tseng.ben - Benjamin Tseng
Waits patiently in line. wordsforliving@gmail.com - Jannifer @wordsforliving
Crossing my fingers...brian.j.krueger@gmail.com - Brian Krueger - LabSpaces
Those Ebay buyers are going to be sorely disappointed when they find that it's not an invite but rather a nomination, which I read a Google's way of saying "we'll know if you try to let in a SEO or spam account". - Mr. Gunn
Ok - it looks like I have eight - can other people on the sandbox confirm numbers and we can see about dividing these things up. Also can anyone who got their own invite delete the comment above? - Cameron Neylon
I can confirm 8 invites... which are really nominations, it seems... - Egon Willighagen
Line gets crowded ;-) pls count me in: yar.nikolaev [] gmail.com - Yaroslav Nikolaev
I make it 17 names above - and I've seen at least three other requests (Richard Akerman, Mike Ellis, David Bradley). So not sure how to do this. My inclination is to prioritise based on people who will be able to put some direct effort into building (but not necessarily coding) things. - Cameron Neylon
Can I just check whether Bjorn, Andy, and others with sandbox accounts have any free invites? - Cameron Neylon
Would it be worth getting those interested in obtaining accounts to write a short abstract (say 100-200 words) about the sorts of projects they'd use their account for? - Dan Hagon
According to http://twitter.com/larsras... no more invitations are being processed until tomorrow (Sydney time) - Nick Lothian
To all those wondering what is going on here - we are trying to coordinate the invitations we have with the people who want them. Its a bit of a slow process. - Cameron Neylon
Shouldn't Wave make that process faster? :) - Jan Aerts from Android
Yes, Jan. There's a wave weve set up for tracking who's got them and who still needs them. Everyone from this thread (that I know - please don't spam this thread ;-)) has been added. - Mr. Gunn
Since I haven't heard from Google, yet, I'll place myself in this queue for Wave invites. First name, last name, gmail. Thanks for organizing the process. - Chris Lasher
Cameron - Thanks for your efforts to match requests to invitations. Hopefully there'll be enough to go around for everyone on this thread who asked for one. Btw, because I didn't mention it above, my gmail account name is axiomsofchoice. - Dan Hagon
Jan, Wave makes the communication faster and more efficient in some ways but it doesn't help that much for human processes - like making difficult decisions. Also as far as I am aware the invitations I haven't sent haven't actually flowed through the system yet so you're not missing anything as yet... - Cameron Neylon
Oh, I'll add myself late to the list. rni.boh at gmail (you know the rest...). - Bob O'Hara
Would like to add myself to the queue as well ;-) - bala chandar
I would like to add my name to the list too - mhanwell at gmail if there are any invites still out there. - Marcus D. Hanwell
I have now been nominated for an invite (it's "in the mail"), so I've removed my comment above. Thanks @robsyme ! - Andrew Perry
I got mine too. Thanks - Deepak Singh
Got an invite as well today, and removed my comment above. Thanks anyway. - François Dongier

Byte Size Biology: will you have your own genome sequenced? - http://bytesizebio.net/index...
Yes. I am not sure when and under what circumstances, but pretty sure I will - Deepak Singh
Yes, as soon as possible. I doubt I'll get picked up for the PGP (no siblings etc) so it'll have to wait until I can afford it myself. - Bill Hooker
No, as of right now. - ashish
No. I do not trust that the information will not be used to deny me health care. - D0r0th34
@Deepak @Bill RTFP http://is.gd/3JwSl There is a description of a hypothetical but not too far-fetched future where personal genomic sequencing is cheap and readily available. OTOH there are some other hitches.... - Iddo Friedberg
sure thing - Attila Csordas
definitely, sooner or later. - Endre Sebestyen
I certainly will at some stage in the not too distant future. Not quite sure when or how, but I'm pretty open to it. :) - Ricardo Vidal
I've had a genetic error identified... does that count? I have an extra ccgg in there on some chromosome. Seems that knowing that would require sequencing. - Nina Jansen
@Nina. We're talking whole genomes. - Iddo Friedberg
a little twist can be introduced into the question by asking: will you sequence your own genome in the future by yourself? after all we're life scientists here & some of us are also bioDIY enthusiasts :) - Attila Csordas
I imagine I would, once it becomes dirt-cheap and routine. I was toying with a 23andme account when their prices dropped, but then the "financial crisis" struck, taking the US/AU exchange rate with it. - Neil Saunders
I have to say as soon as it comes within *my* budget, I will do it. If anyone lets me near a Solexa unsupervised for long enough though.. - Daniel Swan
Good post/poll combo. As for the question, I'm still on the fence on this - I guess it will depend on the details... - Mickey Kosloff
At this point, absolutely not. Too much risk for too little benefit. If we succeed in closing all the insurance loopholes about "preexisting conditions", then yes. Certainly not until then. - Chris Miller

It's good to be the king of the jungle. - CAJ, somewhere else
Hehe... I suppose that's because "like" doesn't really do anything in FB. - Christopher A Carr
i try not to judge. - Trish Haley
Actually, as far as I can tell, Like in FB does do something: it's basically an empty comment, so you get notified of new comments that occur after you Like it. - Glen Campbell, B.A.
BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA - Parth Awasthi
Gl3n: Oh, yeah, there's that. - Christopher A Carr

I would just like to go on record here and clearly state that, were I able to do what this lion is doing, I WOULD NOT! NO! NEVER! EVER! Thank you. - Mark Jepsen
Mark, not even if they were dipped in chocolate? - Adrian

No! Not even then! - Mark Jepsen
To be honest, Mark, I don't think there are many people who would lick a lion's balls, so you aren't alone there. - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane

@Deepak Does "Five Sentences" imply that if a message requires more than five sentences, move to another form of communication? Otherwise, don't you find it an oversimplified solution to a complex problem? - Chris Lasher

Wow. The level of ignorance and sheer stupidity in this video is amazing. Some of the thin // via popurls.com - http://pop.ly/2tfc
glad that you chose Canada? - Paulo Nuin
Hilarious! - Rajarshi Guha
Paulo, actually very glad. The US has a lot of good going for it but from what I've seen lately, the stupidity goes from the folks in that video all the way up to the people in power (congress, mainstream media, etc). It's appalling at times. - Ricardo Vidal
Every country has its fringe movements, they just don't get on TV as much as ours do. - Mr. Gunn

Did you kids see this out of researchgate today? They're setting up a self archiving service. Not sure how it's legal, or how it works, or if their metadata gathering is going to be correct... http://blog.researchgate.net/index... - Brian Krueger - LabSpaces
Well, supposedly they're just hosting personal webpages, so that's their self-archiving argument, same as a blog. The big question is whether they're going to expose the metadata for the papers properly. - Mr. Gunn
I personally like the idea of searching the web for self-archived papers rather than going to a specific site and doing a repository-specific search. - Mr. Gunn
Google Scholar already provides something similar to a decentralized search. It usually finds self-archived papers on personal/lab pages with decent accuracy. - Ricardo Vidal

Early Risers Crash Faster Than People Who Stay Up Late: Scientific American - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article...
"An hour and a half after waking, early birds and night owls were equally alert and showed no difference in attention-related brain activity. But after being awake for 10 and a half hours, night owls had grown more alert, performing better on a reaction-time task requiring sustained attention and showing increased activity in brain areas linked to attention. More important, these regions included the suprachiasmatic area, which is home to the body’s circadian clock. This area sends signals to boost alertness as the pressure to sleep mounts. Unlike night owls, early risers didn’t get this late-day lift." - Donnie Berkholz from Bookmarklet
