Great point - here are all these services trying to imitate the very features that they used to complain about - and that they said were the reasons FF couldn't survive alone - the reasons FB had to come along and buy us.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Sarah Lane used to do that, but now she's on FB and she seems to connect more with people.
- Mol, Time Warping
I think where you will connect will depend on where most of the people you want to connect with are. That's why I spend time on FB. Because a great deal of my friends and personal acquaintances are there. But I also really like FF. But FF is a different type of service.
- Sarah June
Nothing wrong with FB. It's a great place to connect with our real friends/family.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Exactly Mary! And I think that the people I connect with there wouldn't enjoy FF because it would be overwhelming.
- Sarah June
But what a surprise last week when I was using FF to say things my family couldn't hear, when my mother was dying, and then the boyz started piping my FF onto FB! I had to do some fast resetting before thw wrong things got in front of the wrong eyes!

WOAH INTERRUPTING THE EPDISODE WITH ALL CAPS! W00T!
- Jim Hearts FF
Oddly enough tis was when I launched Soundflower to see how to configure it on the Mac - I know you're a bit new to your mini
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
It's Louis - I'd definitely go to FF. There's also this nifty thing called SMS for real emergencies. That's how I reach my brother.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
And the rest of you, too. Y'all are awesome.
- Laura B.
A ton. I can't tell you how great FF was the last two weeks - maybe the hardest two weeks of my life in a lot of ways, and the FFers were HErE.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
BTW, it was a lot of you guys on this chat who were there with me. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and letting me rant when I needed to.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
but people are arriving as well... no?
- Jim Hearts FF
And i'm also under the impression - because he said so in so many words - that we're Paul B's personal feature-development playground if he chooses.

Boooo,I wanted to make a joke about your mic smelling like butt, but you were really careful about making it clear the hose were new :(

Given the fact that line breaks (i.e. whitespace) are how you deliniate comments right now, there's no way they could add whitespace to comments without some other change, e.g. borders around comments.
- Ken Sheppardson
I think we broke live? this is the only window I have open and it's not updating live anymore :/
- mjc
They could just port the whole system over to vBulletin and we'd be all set.

"Visual design is clearly a very personal thing -- the appearance of our new interface is loved by many, and hated by others (though most people are probably somewhere in the middle). This is why one of the goals of the new design was to accomodate skinning/themes. We don't yet know the exact timing of the release, but we hope to have a version 1 of themes available in a matter of weeks." -- Paul, http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...

@mjc what's really funny is the screencap got that Bring Back Old FF logo. Hilarious.
- Micah Wittman
oh god, that sumo wrestler pic is the #3 entry on GIS for "akiva moskovitz" http://bit.ly/k2LiS

Nope! I watched XPlay for, uh, the articles. Somehow this metaphor is failing... I actually did have a geekgirlcrush on Morgan Webb for a while, but she's not doing it for me anymore.

Rochelle, pick his pocket while he's distracted. do eeet.

One of my favorite secret, insider musician phrases "I don't play out."

I just started using AJ's stylesheet yesterday, and I couldn't believe how much I missed it at work today. When I got home and saw AJ's again, it was like balm on my eyes.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I keep meaning to add Johnny on XBox Live since he posted his avatar like a week ago. But I have not been on XBox Live since then, so I have not. Me=bad gamer.

Just testing the limits. It's one thing to have a long comment thread and another entirely to view source, copy it all and paste it as a new comment. Turns out either FriendFeed has a max, or my clipboard does, because it got cut off.
- Louis Gray
Josh, Johnny, when should we expect the podcast to be available?
- Kol Tregaskes
Louis, that *long* comment supposedly took up 95,795 characters (I counted ;-)). An odd number?
- Kol Tregaskes
I just can't get out of the testing-habit (once a tester always a tester). The maximum amount of characters you can *type* in the comment field is 20,000. But as Louis has proved you can paste in a lot more, in fact you can have 100,000 characters on a comment before it's automatically cut off after posting. I've not reached the limit and what you can paste into the comment box before posting yet. But already gone over 5.5million characters!! LOL!
- Kol Tregaskes
And don't try and post 5million characters as a new entry. I think I've broken FF in trying so. ;-)
