Congrats to Paul, Bret, and the whole FriendFeed gang. But I hope you bring a big shot of openness into the Facebook ecosystem, because it doesn't feel that way right now.

NO Congrats or whatsoever "to Paul, Bret, and the whole FriendFeed gang. But I hope you bring a big shot of openness into the Facebook ecosystem, because it doesn't feel that way right now." Matt, dear! You Stole My Words! ROFL :)))) Just curious - is there anything more important than money? It seems NOT ROFLMAO

- Sushubh
I am sad. No congratulation at all.
- bellegarde-webb
Besides being closed, Facebook has never adequately addressed serious privacy issues in its past. I strongly distrust them as a company and I'm sad to hear that they're gobbling up a service and a group of people I do trust. But if both services end up being elevated to FriendFeed's high standard then this will be a great day in hindsight.

Well put doug, I feel same way: I trust FF, I dont trust FB. I'm skeptical this acquisition will change FB enough for me to trust it, but we'll see.

Has anyone got an idea for a friendfeed alternative?
- Ru Viljoen
Ru, I think Hellotxt.com might be a decent alternative to Friendfeed (it can also post to Friendfeed for you so you can keep your feed if you wish). I may start using it instead. Not sure. There's also identi.ca which claims to be adding more features for cross-posting. They use the Opensource Laconi.ca platform
- PurpleZoe
thx for suggestions but looks like those are both exclusively microblogging platforms.
- Ru Viljoen
no congrats, but I agree with the rest.
- Kamilah Gill
Identi.ca is mostly a microblog (I hear cross-posting networks should be enabled soon), but Hellotxt.com is a lifestream (you can cross-post and etc across networks) I believe. Unfortunately it's slow at times. I'll miss Friendfeed if it gets sucked into the Facebook network, instead of remaining a stand-alone app. Not at all happy about the acquisition.
- PurpleZoe
3 other possibilities: lifestream.fm, Socialthing.com and possibly Streamy.com
- PurpleZoe
Now might be a good time for socialthing to exit private beta and enter public
- Ru Viljoen
Agreed.

With the (actual) italian law about accessibility there is a requirement that asks to use HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 with DTD Strict instead of transictional (i'm working now to upgrade this law guidelines for respect the new WCAG 2.0, but at now this is the problem...

I first came across Louis back in July of 2008. I had no idea how social media 'worked' but something told me, he was a 'big player'. I subscribed to him across the board, he reciprocated, but because my feed back when I first started FriendFeeding was ALL fluff, he unsubscribed from me right away. And I admit, my feelings were hurt. I sent him a message on Facebook to tell him: I WILL regain credibility, to let you know I am worth subscribing to. Somehow, some way. Well, it worked. By just being myself. One day on PixelBits, among the silly posts of Star Wars, Lego, and gummi bears, I wrote about Goosh. A few minutes after I published, LG left me a comment, sent me an email that said: "Wow, you're a geek?" Me: "Um, yes?" Little did I know, something I wrote because I was interested in, garnered enough attention for him to extend an invitation to post on his site. And from there, Louis and I became more than Internet buddeis, we became real friends. :)

Bryce, I don't see why there would be an outrage? Google are already integrating DoubleClick and are analysing your data when visiting sites which are using Adsense if they are Tech based etc to make the ads more relevant. The same should apply to Social Networks.
- Nicholas James
Maybe they should use F-Connect to give the websurfer a more personalized surfing experience. I think FB can provide a lot of value if the ads you see on your favorite blogs and websites are connected to the content AND your personal data. While you don't have any ads on your blog Louis, you still have a F-Connect button and many other might add it if they find value in it. Could it be that FB should look out of its actual boundaries?

I hate to sound like a broken record (I've said similar to this on many other discussions), but they don't have to do ANYTHING. The writers have every right to stay true to their vision and end the show in the way they see fit. Don't believe me? Go back and watch "The Sopranos". The immediate reaction of the last season/episode of The Sopranos was of shock, disbelief, and anger, but...

From io9: "Cottle MD The high concept speaks for itself; it's House in space. Galactica's chain-smoking, ornery doctor has been an oddly calming presence throughout the show's history, never failing in his ability to speak bluntly and make even the worst situation just a little bit bleaker. This is what I'm suggesting - An hour-long drama about Cottle moving to a new hospital ship where the boss hates him but also has a crush on him, he has three flawed geniuses as assistants, and John Hodgman's brain surgeon is his long-suffering best friend. Sneak it onto NBC as a replacement for er and Emmies await, I'm telling you."

Scoble, saying "who knew I was so close to a news story 1.5 years later"would be no different that if you had climbed Mt. St. Helen's in Nov of 1979 only to hear of its eruption in May of 1980. You being on that plane has NOTHING to do with this story. Nice try, though.
- Dave Madison
Dave: interesting point of view. But in this case the affair was still going on. At least I didn't die to get these pictures like I would have if I had been at the eruption of Mt. St. Helens.
- Robert Scoble
Robert you r being silly. You wouldn't have risked dying because you wouldn't have been there. And u weren't there for this bimbo eruption.
- Dave Madison
You just happened to get a picture of Reile 1.5 years before anyone knew what was going on. If I got a picture of Lewinsky walking down Penn. Ave in 1995, does that mean "I was there?". Hey! I got a random ok picture of Spritzer on a shuttle to DC. Guess that makes me a part of history, too!
- Dave Madison
Dave: the thing is I WAS there. Just because I didn't know what was going on at the time, doesn't mean I didn't capture the two of them together. But, whatever, I really don't care either way. If you had a picture of Lewinsky and Clinton together on Penn Ave. you would have had an interesting picture too. Your argument doesn't hold, though, because if I had a picture of St. Helens at the time it exploded I would have had a historical picture, even if I didn't understand what I had taken a picture of.

so is it impossible to interact rationally with the trolls? must they simply be blocked?
- Ňicķ
in my experience rational and troll don't tend to go together - they're motivated by something different than non-trolls nick
- mike "glemak" dunn
yes.... so aggressive and so defensive at the same time.... so self-righteous.... its depressing actually....

Overdue piece Mike. Thanks. I watched several services disintegrate over the past few weeks and finally gave in to 'block'. As you said, life's too short. The key is to not feed it (except possibly as you did just now). Don't recognize it. Don't answer it. If we ignore them, maybe they'll just go away?
- Charlie Anzman
agreed charlie, ignoring is best but also don't think they'll ever go away either
- mike "glemak" dunn
One final thought (having just read one). Stop mentioning them by name in your posts.
- Charlie Anzman
agreed charlie, have noticed that too which was one of the points in my post - takes two to tango - also, i've seen some folks directly call someone a troll but when i read what's being labeled "trollish" its simply a very strong differing of opinions thus someone (usually a popular person) is overreacting...
- mike "glemak" dunn
Really important observation Mike.
- Jeremiah Owyang
thanks jeremiah - it really was just a humorous observation :)
- mike "glemak" dunn
agreed melanie - a very important part of learning is the art of listening to both sides, like-minded and dissenting
- mike "glemak" dunn
My particular tactic is the more trollish they become, rather than ignore them I respond ever more briefly. I find that nothing bugs and deflates a troll more than when they spend 2 hours writing an invective filled response to them then you acknowledge them and respond in 6 or 10 words. It works better than ignoring them.
- Dave Slusher

I have to say that FriendFeed is extremely good at weeding out trolls. The nature of the platform makes it amazingly easy to spread the word about a troll or spammer that everyone can block. (Which I assume triggers a flag somewhere in FriendFeed HQ)

A few words with Jack Tramiel and the Commodore 64 gang - http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei...
winckel, Randy Holloway, Tyson Key and 18 other people liked this
"The success of the Commodore 64 was unheard of; it sold 22 million units, the highest number for any single model of a computer in history, according to the Computer History Museum. ... Tramiel himself had a confrontation with Canadian investor Irving Gould and Tramiel resigned on Jan. 13, 1984. The problem with doing a follow-up on the Commodore 64 was due to chaos that followed Tramiel’s departure. To build the next machine, the company had to build everything from scratch."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
I wonder what the "confrontation" was about. From http://www.commodore.ca/history...: "Irving Gould and Jack Tramiel had a successful working relationship until 1984 when an argument that has yet to be fully explained caused Jack Tramiel to quit on the spot." From http://www.scripophily.net/atcorst...: "The nature of their quarrel was never publicly disclosed. Today, however, Tramiel says he wanted to "grow" the company, and Gould didn't."
- ⓞnor
"The Commodore Story" aka "On the Edge" has a whole chapter on Jack Tramiel leaving Commodore. It suggests a couple of theories about the disagreement. One is that Jack wanted his sons to succeed him in running the company, but Gould disagreed. Leonard Tramiel is quoted as saying that this had nothing to to do with Jack leaving.
- Laurence Gonsalves
Jack Tramiel is quoted saying that the issues revolved around financing: "Just because we were a billion-dollar company, we did not have to throw money out the window like a billion-dollar company." and also "I was of the view that we should have made a new stock offering when our shares were highly traded... [Gould] thought this would water down his portion of the company and he would lose influence..."
- Laurence Gonsalves
BTW: The Commodore Story is a great book if you're interested in Commodore and/or computer history in the 70's through 90's. I have a blog post about the book here: http://xenomachina.com/2006... (the book used to be called "On the Edge", but was apparently renamed)
- Laurence Gonsalves
Great article, my first computer I owned and worked on was the Commodore 64 when I got exposed to computers in elementary school. My dad actually wanted me to get an IBM PC Jr, but I wanted a C-64 because the school had it. I'm glad I was one of the people that owned a C-64, and I learned my first programming skills Commodore Basic from the C-64. Thanks Jack Tramiel for the C-64 days!

I wonder how things would have been different if Jack Tramiel had stayed. Commodore was a big success at the time, but it sometimes seems forgotten when people talk about computer history and Macs, PCs, etc.

Pete Delucchi, Michael Markman, Morgan and Robert Seidman liked this
this is a show the critics, and seemingly millions on the Internet love, but only averaged 900,000 viewers in its first season. I suspect some of that is because of people like Thomas Hawk cancelling cable and watching everything via netflix, but I'm very interested to see this year's ratings as AMC is spending $25 million to promote it.

- Thomas Hawk
Thrilled. Every craft excels... art direction, costume, makeup, cast, direction. don't know if it will ever achieve mass appeal. It's missing some of the things that conventional wisdom says you need: likeable characters, explosions, big yucks. There's a strong dark undercurrent to everything. But that's okay. The demo that watches should be very valuable to advertisers.

I read recently that after all the petty fines and charges are added in, the final penalty for a first offense comes in at around $65. Anyone who thinks they can text and drive is mistaken. I do think, though, that to try and prohibit every possible distraction individually is nonsensical.
