Beer Prices Going Mile High - Examiner.com

Not just due to gas prices. Time to stock up! - Mark Krynsky
This is a climate change story. - Jason Wehmhoener
Quick poll: Forget petrol or gasoline. What are you paying for decent beer these days ? £3.00 or over in London for premium strength lager (Stella, Grolsch). [Budweiser doesn't count BTW] - Andy C
Andy...here in the states that depends on the bar, club, or restaurant you go to. The same beer's price can vary wildly based on the location you purchase it. But a 6 pack of good beer is about $8 nowadays over here in LA...PS funny to think Budweiser is an import in London. - Mark Krynsky

Any chance you will be in Salt Lake City someday Thomas? - Jordan
would love to shoot Salt Lake City. I'd love to do a photowalk in every major city in the US. - Thomas Hawk
How about Rochester NY? The Lilac Festival is a great time of the year to visit. - Benjamin Golub via fftogo
I'm moving to the Twin Cities area in July. If you get up that way any time, let me know. - Dawn M. Armfield
I am from Salt Lake City as well. Would love to participate if you make it out here. - LiquidLag
2nd vote for Rochester, NY!! Ben, Cyndy, Jen, Aaron, SteelOpus, et al can all meet you for lunch or dinner someday and do a photo walk!! - Susan Beebe
Wow, Thomas you are able to travel to the future! (JULY 11th! :)) - Michael Lehman
I wish I could make the trip up i-5 but i'll be going to the Police and Elvis Costello show that night. - Squid
Sounds great, we would love to have you in SLC. Your original photowalking videos with Scoble really inspired me to take more photos and keep my camera around. Cheers! - Jordan
Another vote for SLC here - Kevin D. White
I'm thinking about setting up a photowalk in Evansville, IN. Any suggestions? Never been to an organized one. The family and I did a couple on our own last year and it was fun. - jason burton
Any of my fellow SLC'ers want to setup our own Photowalk in town? I would be glad to help organize it, but am still an amateur photog. - Jordan

“I am bummed that I am missing the FriendFeed open house that is tonight. ”
June 5 at 4:46 pm - Link
That sounds like it would be cool to attend. Their digs look pretty cool. Nice and spacious. - Andrew Dobrow
I'm right next door and didn't know they were having an open house. :( How'd you find out about it? - Don MacAskill
Don: just sent you an invitation. I forgot you were so close! - Bret Taylor
Since I live in Austin, I miss almost everything but SXSW, and I've only been to one of those. - Phil Glockner
If there are any left-over FF T-shirts can I send a SASE? - Noah Carter
@Bret Taylor: Thanks! Yeah, it's been on my TODO list to stop by and buy you guys lunch but I've been so swamped the last few weeks I haven't gotten around to it. But I will! See ya tonight. - Don MacAskill
But the real question is... is Louis there? And who's streaming it if Scoble isn't???? - Cyndy
Times like this I wish I was back in CA! - Susan Beebe
Cyndy, I was there. Look forward to seeing you there when you go. - Louis Gray
I wish I was there, but then I'd have missed talking with Mozilla's CTO. - Robert Scoble
@Cyndy - you would have loved Louis's shirt. - Hutch Carpenter
@Robert - my wife says she met you tonight at whatever shindig was going on. - Hutch Carpenter
Hutch: yes, she did and we had a great chat about you and FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
i'm bummed i missed too, next time there are no finals on and i don't have to lay the smack down on embargo breakers, i'll be there - MG Siegler
Wish I could be there. Just a month now until I'm in SF and can attend these types of things! - Eric Florenzano
@Hutch What shirt? @Louis I'm guessing pigs would be flying first. ;) - Cyndy
Sigh; Curse you east coast! - Benjamin Golub
@Ben - Ditto! you, Cyndy and I should all fly from Rochester to SF together and crash whatever party Scoble and Louis are hanging at and surprise them! ha, ha! - Susan Beebe
/me wishes he could just up and fly to California whenever an interesting tech company announced an open-house. - Voyagerfan5761
Susan, are you footing the bill? :P - Benjamin Golub
I'm with Voyagerfan on this, yeah dude! - Sally Church via Alert Thingy
@Scoble: don't worry, I'm missing it too, on account on being halfway across the world :) - Tudor Bosman
@ Ben LOL yea right! ha, ha!! - Susan Beebe
@Don Robert knows everything, check his upcoming. It's crazy. - Aaron Myers
@Cyndy - Louis has a collared shirt with his "LG.com" logo (http://www.louisgray.com/live/...). Cracked me up to see him with that. But you know what? He walks in, and everyone knows him immediately because of that logo on his shirt. - Hutch Carpenter
@Susan No dice. Louis has already met me. Scoble passed on the chance. ;) @Hutch I'm horrified that you suggest people wouldn't know Louis without the shirt! Rockstars don't need logo shirts! - Cyndy
Looks like we need the FriendFeed jet to pick everyone up :-) - Ginger Makela
Didn't you get your FriendFeed rocket pack then? - Slippy Lane
Slippy, actually I got my FriendFeed hoverboard. Way better than a pack. - Ginger Makela

Awesome, thanks for that link, Brian! - Jordan Hofker
Thanks for the tips! I'm down to GeoSetter and Microsoft Pro Photo Tools as my two finalists... need to play a little with them both to see which one becomes a permanent part of my workflow... If you have any further comments about one or the other, I'd love to hear your experiences and/or tips & tricks. - Kenneth LeFebvre

June 2 at 10:37 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
A great, extremely detailed article Q&A with Kevin. Stop what you're doing and read this now. I don't want to see any comments for another 15 minutes until you've read this unless you can prove previous comprehension from having already seen it. - Louis Gray
"A site that visibly promotes how many ’friends’ you have turns friends into commodities, creating an economy where you are motivated to make as many friends as you can. " There goes all my feature requests for a more robust stats section of the site. - Mark Trapp
Mark, I have that very quote in my clipboard, but I admit, I was going to say it's one of my favourite things about FF. :) - felix
All right, after reading it fully, I never realized Kevin Fox was like the Jonathan Ive of Google Apps. What a loss for Google. I enjoyed the rationale behind why labels exist: never thought of it like that. Most people explain it as "It's better than folders. Now be quiet!" - Mark Trapp
Love the old Google logos! Sounds like FriendFeed has a very promising UI guy on the team. Yay... The "You said earlier you found 6 types of users for Gmail. What were those? .... No comment. ;-)" is remnants of a less-open philosophy though. - Mitchell Tsai
"People talking to people facilitated by computers." I believe that about sums up this whole social networking thing ;-) - Paul Short
Sprague, but it could definitely be applied to things like Twitter, where people subscribe to thousands of others in hopes that they get a reciprocal follower count bump, and let's not forget about Jason Calacanis vying for top spot on twitter follower activity. The ability to get into follower competitions is facilitated by seemingly benign statistics about follower counts. - Mark Trapp
@Kevin: Great interview, though the pic above looks like a promo for "Kevin Fox's Chiller Theatre Macabre 3000" :-) - Chris Reed
Mark: When looking at Jason Calacanis's stats this morning http://friendfeed.com/e/bf02d8..., I was surprised to find that almost 45-50% of his readers are age 3-17, VERY different from Robert Scoble and Leo Laporte's age demographics. Is that because of how Jason went about gathering followers? Through the MySpace and Facebook communities maybe? - Mitchell Tsai
I like the flat hierarchy of titles @ friendfeed, I'm a UI Designer, so of course I look up to kevin's work. Any user experience person should be as flexible and willing to contribute more than interaction sketches. I super like, super karma, super kudos this entry if friendfeed had those UI elements :) - Karl
This is madness!! Folks you can't be serious! I'm sure it's a big joke or something... :) - directeur
I'm curious how one gets photos to show (as above) in this type of FF entry. - Greg Clinton
Greg, it's using the FF bookmarklet. When you use it, you can click on a picture to add it to your post. - Vince DeGeorge
Awesome article. I'm really enjoying reading about user interface design, even though I've never really done it. Very inspiring stuff here. - ha3rvey (That One)
Mitchell: Was it 3-17, or 13-17? If it's the former, that's awesome. And I would agree with that hypothesis: when Calacanis is active on Twitter, he's constantly demanding people react to whatever he's doing, either via comments or follows or whatever. I do know a few months ago he had a goal to get higher than Scoble in followers on Twitter, as well. - Mark Trapp
Thanks, Vince, it really brightens up the page. - Greg Clinton
Three cheers for Kevin. :-) - Jason Wehmhoener
Mark: 3-17 (but 12-17 was about 90% of the whole 3-17). See Calacanis chart stored here http://picasaweb.google.com/Mi... or the live one here http://quantcast.com/calacanis... - Mitchell Tsai
How does it even know that? You can't legally track someone's data if they under 13 to begin with. - Mark Trapp
Not only am I a happy user of all of the products mentioned in this article, as a UI designer I often find myself referring to these products in design discussions with my teams. - Jason Wehmhoener
Mark: No clue... Maybe Quantcast does some estimating based on subsampling to fix the raw data? (e.g. conduct in-person interviews on a random subsample of the population) - Mitchell Tsai
Seriously, you're doing all this for a thesis? a PhD? WHY? I mean... Are you "sciencizing" and "theorizing" socialmedia? All this is so ephemerous, so humanly erronous and lying, It doesn't deserve nobody's time and efforts... - directeur
directeur, maybe this isn't the community for you. - Mark Trapp
Mark: Let me very friendly don't agree :) Because in THIS community you have to study these things to be admitted? (no trolls, nothing, just a notice) - directeur
@directeur what is it exactly that you're talking about? - Shey
reading this was like...read, read, *lightbulb*, read, read, *lightbulb*, *lightbulb*, read, *lightbulb*.... - Iain Baker
@Shey: I was wondering on the life in a socialmedia context, I find it so exagerated to study things like Scoble/Dupont/Smith followers and such... I asked if it's for a thesis... because if not, I'm really wondering how come I feel the only one to think that it's exagerated and somehow strange behavior... - directeur
What, exactly, is exaggerated or strange about it? - Mark Trapp
Mark: saying "Calacanis chart" for example, I find it exagerated... I wonder about the need to study this... You are free to do whatever you want!! I'm just wondering, I wanted some exaplanations, I really needed to know why would someone like me or you spend time on studying a so vague and IMHo useless thing as the "Calacanis chart"... I may be wrong, so please correct me if i'm wrong - directeur
directeur, you jumped into the middle of a conversation between a few of us about a specific part of the story: calling what we're doing strange, exaggerated, stupid, silly, or any other abusive term isn't constructive. Think of this like real life: how would you feel if someone interrupted a conversation you were having with someone to tell you that what you're talking about is stupid and wrong and exaggerated? - Mark Trapp
Hey look! It's an interview with Kevin Fox! ;-) - Jason Wehmhoener
Mark: My bad, sorry, I though that the discussions here were open to everyone. and indeed they are, but it's still my fault, why the heck have I the need to share my own opinions? Sorry. - directeur
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Directeur: Mark said it very well: The discussions are open and you're free to say what you like, but so are other people. If you come in and harshly criticize others, you have to accept the reality that others will harshly criticize you back. It's just like the real world. - Kevin Fox
Kevin, I was wondering, like any "mediterranean" usually do, maybe it's my english, but I never meant to be harsh... anyway.. Sorry again! - directeur
directeur: No worries. I appreciate your comments, and love that we're getting such diverse international usage! - Kevin Fox
I'm so impressed that Bret set up and configured everything before your first day. That says a lot. - Ginger Makela
I like the concept of everyone having the same title. Excellent read. I have learned something. - Mathew A. Koeneker
@Ginger That says Bret has no need for a Field Tech person to me. ;) - Erica Baker
I like the photo. Kevin's got the classic visionary staring-into-the-distance pose but at the same time he has this critical are-you-sure-this-is-right expression. It's the heroic UI reviewer. - ⓞnor
I call that look "Magnum" - Kevin Fox
Oh! Oh! Now do "Blue Steel" - April Buchheit
If you roll over the thumbnail above, it changes to me doing "Blue Steel". - Kevin Fox
oooh... when do we get to see Le Tigre and Ferrari? - Ross Miller
So cute to see April's picture pop up over her name. :-) - Mitchell Tsai

Just hitting F5 over and over is working pretty good for me! - Tad - the Meme Maker
I'm finding that I need the thread of twitter in one place, and all of Friend Feed in another. So it's Twhirl and Feedalizer for me. ...via feedalizr - Andrew Nez
Ok Alert Thingy Makes more sense on FF then twhirl. Alert Thingy it is. I stopped using it cuz I thought it was stupid. - Tim Moore via Alert Thingy
yeah I'm done with Alert Thingy ... i'm really liking Feedalizr .. so far that is...via feedalizr - JohnBfromMemphis
- the only thing I like about it over Twhirl is the video recording and posting, which isn't that great as is. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Lol I like the replies to this from Alert Thingy and Twhirl. - Eric Florenzano
Installed it and love it, just one thing - is it possible to use a filter to not show someone?...via feedalizr - Simon Gelfand
Very nice look - but no keyboard shortcuts? FAIL...via feedalizr - Boris Gordon
/Like Boris' comment. - Voyagerfan5761
Good looking UI. Problem for me is I do like TWhirl's separate screens for Twitter and FriendFeed - and the fact that I can resize the windows. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart via twhirl
Thanks for the tip off Scoble. This seems like a nice alternative to trial :)...via feedalizr - CannonGod
Sticking with Twhirl..hate the colors but I think it makes the smartest use of screen real estate. And @Loic mentioned upcoming XMPP support...thats got me excited. - /(bb|[^b]{2})/ (Kamath) via twhirl
I've used Alet Thingy and don't like it at all. this morning I am trying feedalizr and am liking it alot...via feedalizr - David Jacobs
Good - nice scroll format, filters. Ick - no resize, no options. Fail - can't select text in comments (couldn't grab cool URL). Uninstalled clean and easy. - Nancy Babyak
Everyone must have younger eyes than me because the font size is just too small and the kerning is atrocious. What's that about? I appreciate the fact the comment text is blue rather than nearly unreadable gray as it is in AlertThingy for most themes but if the font size is too small and can't be adjusted, it's a wash. I can't adjust the window horizontally. Huh. So far there are no friendfeed desktop apps that give me a better user experience than the web site itself. - Rick Powell
better use of screen space, liked the UI overall. good job feedalizr...via feedalizr - Siddharth Mitra
Stickign with Twhirl. I LIKE having FF in a seperate stream most of the time. - Soulhuntre via twhirl
It's strange that it won't let me expand the app window horizontally, only vertically. Not liking that....via feedalizr - Bob
Can't comment because wife has taken possession of lappie and i'm in digital limbo. At least i have fftogo on my N95! - Adrian Scicluna via fftogo
Interesting. I will give it a shot. - Ryo
I like this little program, Just installed it. I think this is very useful to keep me updated on what's going on in FF!!...via feedalizr - Paul
Upon installing Alert Thingy, this was the first thing I read. I promply downloaded feedalizer, and no longer use Alert Thingy. that was fast!...via feedalizr - rambn
Posting this from Feedalizr. Links won't open in Firefox, so I find this fix: http://www.clipotech.com/2008/... ...via feedalizr - Svartling
Afraid that this doesn't work behind corp proxies/firewalls at this point. The developer indicated that they are working on this and should have a revision in a few days. - Greg

"It wouldn't be hard to allow users to create a Twitter like messaging service in a separate tab or even as their first point of reference in FriendFeed (as an option) so those who are interested only in the Twitter-like messaging can use that service primarily (or only) with FriendFeed." - huixing
Ummm...I think it already has. All it needs now is a solid mobile posting capability and Twitter is DONE. - Greg
I'd like to see a direct messaging tab as well. - Thomas Hawk
Why don't they kill Pownce first? They are at least half as popular since only a few people actually use it on Friendfeed. - Josh Jenkins
I like Pownce more than Twitter. I use it to share mp3s, can't do that on Twitter or FF. - Thomas Hawk
yes, FF probably need something direct messaging tab. http://jarkolicious.com/probes... - huixing
Maybe FriendFeed actually is killing Twitter, more or less literally: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008... - Chris Johnson
I agree. Friendfeed is more advanced, reliable and does so much more... - Ryo
I am intrigued, but think Social Thing has the better approach to aggregating. - Batona
Not necessary! - ravi karandeekar
At the moment FF and Twitter are different but complimentary. For FF to offer something more than Twitter they need to first equal what Twitter offers - open API with lots of application choices; simple, clean interface and international mobile phone integration. - James Marwood

This is definately WinSCP, and I for one appreciate all the options. Especially the last 2, ever tried syncronising 2 remote FTP folders? - Robert Kloosterhuis via twhirl
I am with @Tad make sure you select to Never ask me again!!! - Joe Dawson
I like WinSCP. I think that all those buttons are a good idea as they give you a lot of control. It is a bit of a crazy user interface, but WinSCP is built for those that can handle a slightly difficult UI, IMHO. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. There's always FileZilla if you find WinSCP not suited to your tastes. - possible248

Yes, technically reshare launched at around 1:30am. Good eye. - Paul Buchheit
Paul, is there any way to fetch the rooms list of an authenticated user via the API? - Aviv
Also, the "via" link on the reshared item will link to the original entry if it's from a public feed. See http://friendfeed.com/e/3d0593... for an example of this. - Paul Buchheit

I must be scrolling through my friend feed in the wrong direction - what's this 'room' thing? BTW, I tried the 'reshare', but didn't really want to share - the 'Close' button in the corner is busted. - Bruce Williams
Bruce, the close button should work. What browser are you using? - Paul Buchheit
IE7 on Vista, just a sec and I'll post the script error.... line 316, "object doesn't support this action". I'll enable script debugging and see if I can get more info. Its in apparently generated code (no filename), on a line of code "delete window["ff__reshare"];" that is the first line of a "function close(args)". - Bruce Williams
WOW - great add-on's - love the concept of the 'room' - is there a way to alert others about a post in a private room ? ie if I have members of a project team in different parts of the building or the world for that matter ... - viki saigal
Keep the features coming guys! - Bwana McCall
Ha. Great work guys! - Corvida
My Close button busted too Paul - IE 7 ...So i press share on FF ...it seems to do something with the lil icon going thru the circle but then the dialogue box just stays on my screen ! - viki saigal
I've definitely done a fair-bit of re-posting in the past - great call on introducing the re-share =) - Will DeLuca
c’mon, this is already gettin’ old. bring some new … oh rooms … - kosmar

yep, IE is fixed - talk about fast turnaround! - Bruce Williams
Love rooms + resharing. Is there a way (that I'm not seeing) to reshare an item to a room, and have it retain all of the comments, likes, etc that got glommed onto it when it appeared in my original feed. thx and again, excellent work ff - Ginger Makela
yeah...reshare is something i've been wanting for a while. - don loeb
Please implement a feature for me: send a link from the blog service to the ff api and get back all likes/comments for this entry. Or is it possible allready - Nils Hitze

“Would you consider yourself addicted to the current face of the web? Definition to be clear: A behavioral syndrome characterized by the repeated, compulsive seeking or use of a substance despite adverse social, psychological, and/or physical consequences.”
May 21 at 12:39 pm - Link
Yes. Without a doubt, yes. - Lindsay Donaghe
Yes currently addicted to all this non stop activity - Gadiel Rivera
The fact that we, as individuals, can be exposed to more information in one day than our ancestors could in an entire lifetime makes it so. We can't help but be addicted - our mind crave information and we'll gladly cram it with as much as we can. Our minds are sponges that yearn to be filled with both the interesting AND the mundane (and inane). The Internet is an extension of this craving - not to mention the almost hypnotic way we HUNT down the information we want. - Vince DeGeorge
of course not, but isn't denial a sign of addiction? - Thomas Hawk
Hooked. - TranceMist
I can quit any time I want. :-) - Jeremy Brooks
Absolutely. But I can stop anytime I want. - Mykl Roventine
Great comments, thanks! You see, I'm undecided if it can be called addiction. Don't we all do this for positive gain for everyone, the greater good, rather than self-gratifying feeding of a monkey on our back? - Matt Harwood

I think item one is the whole point of social. You _want_ that out there. Item 2 is curious. Do your friends want you sharing their emails? If they make them available to you, is that implied? I'm not sure. It's that "friend" vs "contact" distinction that I like about Flickr. I know what my friends will do with my information and since they are my friends they should trust my other friends, in theory. But "friend" on most social networks is a bit looser than that. Should you be able to do anything with the data shared under the notion of "friend"? Probably not. Should there be a way to flag this as "FYEO" or "also for your friends and contacts"? Absolutely. As for the real content, that should be under the license provided -- either copyright, or some form of creative commons, or public domain. - lilbyrdie
almost totally agree with lilbyrdies comments - succinct. - viki saigal
