Using Safari for Windows as my friendfeed client. - http://www.scrnshots.com/users...

That is an awesome idea, but no notifications or auto-refresh.
- Ryan Farley
hm....what if I embed a the new browser control in WPF 3.5 and hardcode it to point to FF mobile, make it configurable to do auto-refresh, and add the wpf notifications we did in Witty.

Is there a way to set the number of items to include in a CommunityServer 2.1 RSS feed?
In 2.1 you could only control that for the entire site (not by blog). In Control Panel -> Administration -> Blogs -> Default Presentation you'll see the indiv blog post count setting and community aggregate count setting.

Interviewing someone today. Got his resume. Page footers say "Page 1 of 1" "Page 2 of 2" and "Page 3 of 3" What?

You just blew my mind. :)

Wow, that's a great first impression huh?
- John Stockton
Does he also mention his "eye for detail"?

To anyone writing a ff desktop app: Please add spellcheck with an outlook style "Don't send message until it's been checked" option. Please.

Another feature needed in a ff app: If you receive the same post from the same person via several networks, only show it once but identify numerous sources.

+1 on hiding dupes from other networks

Awesome. I imported our blogs into the Herding code room. FF detects media enclosures in the feed and puts a player in the item. Nice.
sweet! I was going to suggest that for this room as well.
- Alan Le
Looks like we get dupes because the media's linked from HerdingCode.com as well as all of our blogs. Maybe the only service listed should be the HerdingCode.com feed?
- Jon Galloway
+1 Jon - Now I see your blogs on your FF feeds and also in the HC room too. Would make sense to just have the HC feed in the room. Just my 2c.
- Ryan Farley
Ah, I imported them all because I could see some people joining the room, but not necessarily following all of us.

Tonight's podcast topic: Should startups use Microsoft technologies. Got any input?
1st drawback is the price of hardware for MS vs. OSS... especially when you get to the database. SQL Server is a huge cost if you need a couple clustered servers compared to 0 for MySQL.
- James Avery
2nd drawback is the cost of development tools, sure you can use express but Eclipse, etc. are free.
- James Avery
3rd drawback is that the cheap labor (interns, etc) are more likely to know PHP or Java then .NET coming out of school.
- James Avery
Of course if you know .NET, and you have MSDN, then #1 is the only real issue (and the one I am having right now with The Lounge)
- James Avery
Thanks for all the feedback, James! One other issue is hosting - we host HerdingCode.com on Wordpress / Apache because Site5's hosting is dirt cheap. Windows hosting is a bit more expensive.
- Jon Galloway
From an outsider perspective it doesn't matter. As a developer who wants to integrate with a startup's product, I don't care what they've used as long as they provide easy ways for me to integrate regardless of the technology I use - REST APIs, etc.

I feel that changing Witty to work with FriendFeed would mean a big redesign as the two services are just not the same.
- Alan Le
Sounds like a plan, time for "Fitty"!
- Adam Kinney
Or how about "Fatty"? Hehe.
- Ryan Farley
from twhirl
"Fatty" ha! that cracked me up.
- Alan Le
There would have to be a complete re-design around both binding and the simple "IMessageService" interface I threw in there. It could be done, but perhaps the Twhirl approach, e.g. a window per service, would work better?
- Scott Koon
from twhirl
I would take a user-centric approach. what are the primary actions on ff, secondary actions, what info is necessary, how to reduce info-overload, etc. starting with this type of brainstorming, it would probably mean creating a new client vs a client that does both twitter and friendfeed.
- Alan Le
I agree. Now that I've used FriendFeed for a bit, I'm seeing how a client like AlertThingy pulls that together. With FriendFeed as a superset, I don't really need Twitter anymore.
- Jon Galloway
I agree with Alan, FF has so much more info available, it would be better to design for FF than fit in an old box.
- John Stockton
Where's the Witty/Fitty/Fatty room?

Trying Friend Feed Twitter Client from http://InternetDuctTape.com
It didn't work for me. Nothing would happen when I submitted the tweet.
- Matt Blodgett
from Alert Thingy
Matt, that's because at the moment the Twitter API for sending tweets is down/broken (last I heard today)
- Ryan Farley
from twhirl
Still not convinced that FriendFeed is a decent Twitter replacement. It's more geared towards sharing and less towards communication.
Ryan Farley liked this
I agree. FF is nice, but I'm not really sure I want everyones bookmarks, flickr, diggs, etc, etc, etc. I just like the conversations the most.

I think the threading alone puts it ahead of Twitter.

Back from lunch. I'm staring at 6 Jaiku adds and 10 FriendFeed adds in my inbox. The exodus has begun
Erik Lane and Matt Davis liked this
The problem is...to where? It's been crazy lately with people going to Jaiku/FF. The exodus won't work if everyone is scattered on different services.
- Ryan Farley
Ryan is right, we tried Pownce already, it failed miserably. This time it's two at once. Which will win?

voting for friendfeed
- Daniel Woolston
Jaiku or FriendFeed are at the top, not sure which is a winner

from Alert Thingy
ping.fm could have been so much more.... oh, what about plurk?

Thinking I should start using FriendFeed solely - ignore Twitter altogether?

I am thinking the same.
- David Seruyange
I am headed that way, need to get more people over here though
- James Avery
Is there a way to find all my friends on twitter who are also on friendfeed?
- Hal
http://internetducttape.com/2008... - but it's kinda slow and uses the Google Social Graph. I would be willing to bet that most people use the same username here as they do at Twitter.
- Patrick Veverka
That's exactly what I've been doing for a while - gave up on Twitter several weeks ago.
- Brandon Wood
FF just needs a better UI. Something about it just bugs me. Not sure why though, I never actually go to the site.
- Ryan Farley
from twhirl
Besides, the exodus to FF will only work if everyone goes (at least everyone in your network). Not sure that will happen.
- Ryan Farley
from twhirl
seems that the exodus has begun
