IMO, most textbooks betray a massive bias of quantity over quality, in part because quantity is confused with depth. If professors were doing their jobs (some are of course), they'd concentrate on distilling out the key points rather than partake of the laziness/spoils of the rigged textbook market... most textbooks are the equivalent of a public works program.

Kids were put in a room with a single marshmallow and told that if they waited to eat it, they could have another. Then they left and filmed the children's reaction. Hilarious.

The little blonde boy in the thumbnail was the best, his facial expressions KILLED me. The redheaded girl that didn't even wait for the woman to leave before eating the marshmallow was the best. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
The little girl who didn't wait looked really young, though. They were probably testing different ages to see when they could start understanding delayed gratification. The older children all clearly understood the concept. I wonder how long it really was before they came back in? EDIT: Just read the description - looks like I was reading too much into it, and it wasn't as scientific as all that. :) Still, I wasn't surprised the young one didn't even think about waiting.

<3 I don't even like marshmallow, but I probably wouldn't driven myself crazy wanting to do something under those parameters. :)

The study was about how distraction is used to help willpower. The kids (in the original study) who distracted themselves lasted longest, and even until the researcher came back into the room. The kids who didn't use distraction and used pure willpower never lasted until the researcher came back. And of course the youngest kids just ate the marshmallow as fast as they could. :)
- Heather
Oh, that's interesting, Heather! I was thinking about that and how much easier it would've been if there'd been something else in the room to focus on. I guess it was a test of how well the kids could distract themselves without external aid.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
It's actually a study that shows that kids who have techniques to defer temptation do much better in life- on test scores, in personal success, etc. It's fascinating, and covered in an episode of WNYC Radio Lab. Also, those techniques to distract themselves can be taught.

"While JET's 15 European sponsor-nations have paid about US$1 billion for their hardware, and the US government has spent $14.7 billion on fusion research since 1951 (all figures in 1997 dollars), Storms's apparatus and ancillary gear have cost less than $50,000. Moreover, he claims that his equipment works, generating surplus heat for days at a time. Storms is not an antiestablishment pseudoscientist pursuing a crackpot theory. For 34 years he was part of the establishment himself, employed at Los Alamos on projects such as a nuclear motor for space vehicles. Subsequently he testified before a congressional subcommittee considering the future of fusion. He believes you don't need millions of degrees or billions of dollars to fuse atomic nuclei and yield energy. "You can stimulate nuclear reactions at room temperature," he says, in his genial, matter-of-fact style. "I am absolutely certain that the phenomenon is real. It is quite extraordinary, and if it can be developed, it will have profound effects on society.""

I was thinking about this today - I don't remember 4 or 5 entire tech conferences devoted to just Facebook in a single year. That makes me think something's different about Twitter. Maybe you're right on the reasons - I'm not sure what it is, but Twitter has the celebrity appeal that is drawing more people percentage-wise than Facebook. Interesting to see if Facebook can turn things around (I have faith they will).

i think robert's hit it on the head. FB is simply too cumbersome and too information-poor to be of value to businesses; twitter's extreme simplicity ("just" a stream) and ability to be mined make it easy and valuable for businesses to use. i'm on a trip to nyc right now and am amazed at how much local businesses have picked up using Twitter.

it's not the site itself that is really the useful part, it's the platform it has become.

I've always disliked it, but it's success in penetrating...uh...everything cannot be denied.

It's generally considered bad form to be comfortable in an office (especially if you're female), so if these shoes are normally comfortable, I'd say so.

Kevin, my feet and legs (other than the skin) feel fine, though we'll see how things are tomorrow. I ordinarily wear flip flops and also spent a little time thinking about how to run barefoot, so I was at least a little prepared. I'm not much of a runner, but it felt easier than it normally is.

If you're chafing on the heels, and they're not too big, then the prescribed answer is special 5 finger socks. My brother called them and that was what they told him anyway.
- Piaw Na
Piaw, I think they are too big. The "right" size felt a little more snug than I like, so I went one size larger, which may have been a mistake. I did buy the toe socks, but just didn't wear them.
- Paul Buchheit
Sorry about your feet! I've never seen these before. They look they would be excellent for Martial Arts as well. Are your toes still as flexible in them?

Paul: Even though my brother and I got the right size, we still are forced to wear the socks for extended walking or hiking.

They make more sense than the women's shoes with the ridiculous five inch-long pointy toes.

Atleast the label says they're machine washable. :)

I want a pair of these. They look pretty neat. I'll just have to remember to get the socks to fit them as well.

Winston: the FiveFingers lessen the barrier between the ground and your foot, which allows your body to naturally compensate for variations in terrain. Some claim this is healthier and will improve long-term running healthy. Read the book 'Born to Run' for a great story and some provocative science.
- Jason Miller
I bought a pair of the sprints a few weeks ago and had a similar problem, no blood though. I took them back right away and bought the KSOs in a size smaller. For some reason in the women's version, the KSOs run a half size big, might be worth checking it out in the men's if you're concerned about sizing. Also, watch out...I loved running in these so much I doubled my routine and out of...

I bought vibrams a week ago: ran a few miles, went to the gym and wore them all the day; feeling very comfortable, no blood or blisters reported so far (as a disclaimer I usually wander barefoot at home and I am kind of a regular runner). Great also for exercising at the gym as I felt more grounded; on the other hand they are not very suited for driving, too much grip.

Yeah, i'm sure people have managed to do it before somehow, but i've never figured it out direct from Greader.
- Simon Wicks
Simon +1. pictures are needed. BTW, do we need "https"?
- woodear
Interesting - geeky feature! :) I already use FF to pull in my gReader shares. How is this different?
- Susan Beebe
Yes, I brought it into FF long ago via add/edit feature.
- Rob Schieber
Thank you very much.
- David Faulkner
Does this speed up the transfer? I've noticed the past 2 days have been a little laggy getting here.
- Courtney Engle
So when I using this method try to "send to" Ff - It takes me to FF and just pastes the URL of that feed item into a posting box. Is that proper behavior?
- Matthew DeVries
Yep. Similar to the behavior with other engines. You can then add other rooms etc (something not possible with regular sharing AFAIK)
- Deepak Singh
Wonder if there is a way to get it to open and drop it into the bookmarklet instead of Ff proper.
- Matthew DeVries
BTW, FriendFeed (and Tumblr) should now be a built-in option on Send To http://www.google.com/reader...

So what is the code to send it to a particular room? If I wanted it to flow in the public FF I would just click 'share'.
- Paul Arterburn
Whoa, sharing to a particular room would be epic :) Would probably have to create a shortcut code for each room instead of multiple rooms...
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Ya, I really just have one group for this - public share or private share among close friends (private FF room). That would also let me DM the link to a FF user if I wanted a *really* private share.
- Paul Arterburn
What about diigo ?
- Stanislas Jourdan
Would also like to know, if there is a way to configure Google reader to send to a certain group in FF?
- Gerald Hildebrandt
At the very least, it's always good to know the code.
- Mike Reynolds
tried 'http://friendfeed.com/$userna...', but did not worked out
- Gerald Hildebrandt
AFAIK sending to a Room is a bit painful. I tag the item in GReader. Then subscribe to that tag's RSS in the FreindFeed Room. A little laborious to set up, but quick when sending - you just tag. And wtih GReader's pubsubhubhub they show up in Room immediately.

A (Google) Wave vs a FriendFeed Post. Here's a quick overview of the structure. (updated version here: http://docs.google.com/View...)

blip = post & blip = comment & a document can contain photos, rich text
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
a wavelet provides access control. It provides a branch where participants can be different from another branch.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
a wave, itself, can also have participants: which implies they can see/control all the wavelets
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I've written a bot that creates a post on FF for every blip... but it's not feasible. The alternative is to create a comment for every blip .. and thereby lose all formatting/photos.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Hmm, I should flesh out the FF side of it. An FF Post can have participants. A Comment has an author.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
From the Wave docs: "Waves are hosted live conversations between multiple participants". Excellent definition.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Did you create that graphic?

Yes, Chris. With vym (mind-mapping software for linux).

- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Ahsan, yeah that makes sense
- Chris Heath
Yeah, seeing that I'd take the money and run too
- sofarsoShawn
lol @ shawn :)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
You forgot that on Friendfeed, a post also has addressees. Addressing specific people on FriendFeed also allows for access control, since the post/thread/conversation will be private. If you post something to a private group (and not your home feed), the whole group will have access (and not the public).
- Meryn Stol
Meryn, agreed. I need to work on this further.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
from IM
It's a pity FF doesn't allow me to edit/reattach inline images ;)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Sounds too complicated to start a new technology off with. They need to start more simple.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, the map is from a technical perspective .. visually, you'd just see a threaded conversation with (optionally) private sections. It is interesting, however, how much FF has achieved with a relatively simple model. Maybe their success is _because_ it was simple ?
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Yeah, the friendfeed side of this mindmap is very simplified right now. I really think Google Wave will run into some mainstream challenges for what I've read so far (don't have wave account yet). However, aren't you really just displaying the threaded feature of a Wavelet? That would just be the ability to comment to a comment in FriendFeed.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
manielse, yes. The major difference between the two is threading.. except in Wave, a comment is equal to a post itself (with photos, rich text, etc, multiple participants). Hence the recursive nature of the tree. A comment (blip) can have a reply, which can have a reply in turn.. and so on)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
But these are features that some of the FF users have wanted, to reply back to a comment and also with a richer content such as a diagram that explains the topic better.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Exactly :)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
from IM
Updated version as per Meryn's suggestions: http://docs.google.com/View... This is not meant to be an exhaustive mindmap - just an overview of the structural differences.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Nice
- Chris Heath
Ahsan, I know how it looks visually - I'm on the dev sandbox. I still say it's too complicated for an initial launch. They need to start simple, the Google way.
- Jesse Stay
Oh I agree that it definitely needs a lot of work.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
from IM
Google Wave is all about potential. In a sense, it's like handing someone a copy of Visual Studio or Eclipse and saying, 'Okay, now go build what you want!' The majority of people will say, 'Uh... what?'
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, agreed. That's why they haven't released it to the public yet.
- Jesse Stay
Http was the same way - and look what we have now?
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Interesting comment, Joelle. I wonder if Microsoft will branch off from the Wave server protocol at some point, like they did with XML, and do their own thing. :) Interesting times, ahead.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Ahsan -- what a great post! Pure gold. (And I happen to think that Google Wave is the wave (oops) of the future. But I need to get hands on with it for a few days to be sure.
- Sean McBride
Glad you liked it, Sean. Be sure to view the updated version (see the link I've edited into the original post).
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I didnt have a precise enough project to make it into the closed access, apart from having written time and time again that what we should have and want was an open standard, distributed system matching nearly word for word the wave press release... (although the reality will probably be different). AM more interested in what can be done on a node basis than writing bots.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
A key question in my mind: will Google Wave feel more cluttered than Friendfeed? The beauty of Friendfeed is the simplicity of the look and feel. Will more power features reduce the impression of simplicity and clarity?
- Sean McBride
You really can't compare FriendFeed and GoogleWave, they're both completely different things. Google Wave is a set of technologies that I feel will contribute heavily to the next generation of social networking tools, however it will not replace them. http://jaredquinn.info/article...
- Jared Quinn
Reshared to the Clonefeed/OpenFF room
- Roberto Bonini
To answer Sean's question, the interface itself looks pretty, but inside the wave it can be difficult to manage: I don't like some of the keyboard shortcuts; the threading in a live chat becomes confusing. While the windowing is slick, you feel like you need more space (at least on my monitor). They need to work on the UI (see Jesse's points above).
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
It's nearly certain that people and companies will come up with different client "front end" apps which are slicker to use, focused on using wave for a specific purpose - live chat/discussion, document management, information sharing, location enabled services, archive access, tech support, games...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
"the threading in a live chat becomes confusing" (I wondered about that from the first moment I saw a Google Wave demo -- it looked busy and noisy...)
- Sean McBride
We strip the threading out then, sean..... non threaded real time conversations work perfectly well here on FF.
- Roberto Bonini
Roberto -- I need to actually use Google Wave in threadless mode to compare it to Friendfeed. Can't wait....

from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Marshall, from a product perspective, what is Facebook really getting here? Can't they implement everything you outline on their own? Is this really a talent play for Facebook? Was it defensive (e.g., was Twitter looking at FF)? Regarding social networks, it seems to me that a range of flavors will emerge (completely private like geni.com to the public cross-pollinated fire hose of FriendFeed). All serve a valid purpose for different/overlapping audiences.
- tomturnbull
from FriendFeed MT Plugin
I can't help but think it's like a Betamax/VHS scenario. For those of us who remember when (and no, you wise guys, I don't mean 8 -track!) both platforms were good, they came out around the same time... and it can even be argued that Betamax had better quality. FF has more options, but... if the "people" elect Twitter the platform and use it, then ultimately, Friendfeed is the betamax. A great technology that withers. There are many platforms chasing the same fickle (?) audience.
- Jody Raines
Why would Twitter do that? It would be an idiotic move by Twitter, and force them into even further "walled garden" mode. Twitter needs to prove they're more open, not less - cutting off FriendFeed just removes them from becoming "the pulse of the internet". Not to mention I bet they have contractual obligations.
