Bookmarked, thanks.

Excellent. Thanks for the tips. I may take a run at the Wordpress Plugin.

No problem Benjamin, you and Paul opened up a lot of possibilities
- Bwana ☠
APIs are powerful things; FriendFeed (and RSSmeme) both have them and I want more people to understand that it isn't complicated to use them.
- Benjamin Golub
good read though I closed my blog......via feedalizr
- bvs
A lot of folks including myself are intimidated when they hear "API"
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I never thought the RSS mechanism would work differently with the API. Ignorance I guess. I have some experience working with Twitter and Jaiku APIs and I don't think they did this. I could be wrong.
- Bwana ☠
I wish the plugin worked on WP.com blogs.
- Jennifer Leggio
I just wish there was a general solution to allow everyone to use this great plug-in. I tried having a go to get it to work on my Tumblr blog but it wasn't having any :¬( Good solid HTML widget to add to my CSS is what's needed ;¬D

I'm working on a php script that merges Friendfeed likes and comments with Disqus comments. Still in early stages, but let me know if anyone would like to take a look (twitter klecu or comment on my blog http://klecu.com/article...)
- Kevin L
When I blogged this (May 28), no Blogger solution existed.
- Bwana ☠
I just went through the process of adding friendfeed to my own site (holgr.com) last week and also found your site. It's a good starting point! Unfortunately the "default" options are pretty scarce and not really flexible. Fortunately - however - the API is so simple that you can create a nice embed yourself using the documentation.

Jason Calacanis Retires From Blogging, Listen Up Bloggers – This Means Something - http://www.sarahintampa.com/sarah...

But wouldn't it be more significant to blogging if, say, Seth Godin, Robert Scoble, or Mike Arrington gave up blogging? Or Doc Searls?

You know... there is way too much chatter out there, and not enough "fun-having "... I don't know if I would mind if Scoble gave up blogging ;-) Maybe it would be a LOT quieter, at least if he gave up micro-blogging.
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

I don't believe Calacanis. I've known him for a long time and this just didn't sound like him. But, I'm making sure I have a ball. It's why I'm here on FriendFeed so much.
- Robert Scoble
Does it mean something besides "Jason Calcanis wanted some attention today"?
- Jason Carreira
from twhirl
Robert, keep having a ball. That's what's important!
- Elliott Ng
I may just follow Jason's lead. The 14 posts I've written over the past 2.5 yrs or so have really taken a toll. Blogging just isn't that much fun for me anymore.
- Ken Sheppardson
Robert, if activity is an indication of how much fun someone is having - I think you are having the most fun!
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Maybe FriendFeed is popular because blogging *isn't* that fun anymore?
- Sarah Perez
Calacanis isn't blogging for the same reason that a television person isn't. I once tried to sell David Letterman on a promotion system and he laughed his head off at me. He was right. If you have an audience already, why work that hard?
- Noah David Simon
Blogging IS fun. I support more "leading bloggers" withdrawing so Sarah can rise to the top though.

you got it after the triple read, right?

how... is that possible. seriously. i don't understand how you could've never seen star wars =\ ...and vb =\ x987987345

!= means "not equal to" in most languages. however, VB uses <>, which is "greater than or lesser than", which means "not equal to". So, most people use Yoda != Sir Yogurt, while I use Yoda <> Sir Yogurt :)

Because Dave isn't putting his hands over his own ears, he's putting them over the ears of everyone who is participating in the conversation. And beside, it's fucking hypocritical to talk about free speech and then hide from Loren by blocking him. He claims he wants to take a stand. Quit running from the person you have a beef with and take a stand. He's just being a coward the way he's acting.
- Tim Finucane
it might be time to tell the story behind what happened at podtech with loren.. re: loren and scoble. shel is acting all innocent but robert went after loren when he did work at podtech and as a result that caused Loren to lose his sponsorship away .shel is roberts partner and has tangled with loren on other occasions...so it was they who went after loren .. maybe it's time to set the record straight on this..

Thanks for giving the shout out to John, Jason. John Furrier was always good and honest to me.
- loren feldman
In the final analysis, all social media will have been about personal vendettas writ large.
- J T. Ramsay
Isn't it clear why Loren was fired? Wasn't it because of the outrage from the public over his videos the public deemed racist? Had he been at Coke or Microsoft, he would have been fired as well. It continued even most recently with his continued horrible treatment of Julia Allison.
- Mark Lepzig
Remind me not to get on your bad side, Loren. Also, most of the folks commenting on this entry I have not subscribed to yet.. proof that there are different circles of people here on FF.

That was the definition Denny always used, though he never gave it's origin. Not many folks I read use the word these days. Glad I had the definition right in my head, though.

AJ - one of my favorite novels as well. However, did you ever read the 'unabridged' version? I didn't notice many significant changes or additions.

@Tom: I don't often read books more than once but I've read Stranger three times. Give it another spin.

Is there a connect between the book and Leon Russell's song by the same name?

- Let's see...no adblock or HTTP Pipelining. Sorry, Safari is a mini-FAIL.

Safari 4 developer preview is promising (speed, dedicated apps)
- Travis Parsons
Stefan Hayden - opera is like a little kid pulling on your shirt for attention. shoo fly! :)
- Chris Harris
Does Safari have extension API yet? I'm also loving the history functions in Firefox that Safari doesn't have.
- jcunwired
Holy cow. That's a lot of comments. Are you guys having as much fun as I am? :-P
- Louis Gray
Safari is an excellent browser, but I'm too tied to Firefox. I have it customized just like I want it, and I run Linux, so Safari isn't an option for me.

great job - that was the one thing I was really waiting for from Disqus!

I'm still trigger shy on this Disqus thing.
- David Risley
Excellent! But it looks like it will only pickup Disqus trackbacks and not Wordpress trackbacks -- I'm still keeping the hack I've been using.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Yeah, looks like I'm gonna go with this solution: http://twurl.nl/h5so4l

@Rahsheen yup, I'm using that as well in conjunction with Disqus trackbacks: http://www.sheysmith.com/2008...

This worked for me. Thanks. (I wonder if this counts towards the record).

Works for me too, thanks. I am all for setting the record but if those dorks make it hard for me, then I won't bother

Careful with the overseas mirrors. They will not enable auto-update!

Release candidate 3? I thought this was a final version?
- Brian Sullivan
Great
- Palin Ningthoujam
@Brian Sullivan: RC3 and Final are identical.
- Jake (aka Jawee)
from twhirl
Thanks Bwana! I'm downloading right now :) oh it's finished. see you then.
- Kenichi Matsumoto
I went directly to the source -> ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/
- Mike Marusin
Shit it forces FF as the default browser -- no option to modify during install it seems.
- Brian Sullivan
I guess no one in the tread is participating in the record :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Well done

Hmmm..custom installation wants Fx in ..Mozilla Firefox Beta 5 folder, is the link really the final release?
- Wictor Wilén
Do we know that the FTP links count?
- Voyagerfan5761
I would hope so: FTP and direct HTTP downloads are trivial to track.
- Mark Trapp
shit - no firebug for rtm yet...B-(. scrambling to remember how to set "ignore compat" switch...
- Shawn L. Morrissey
@Voyagerfan5761: Mozilla said they don't earlier. If you do get it from FTP, download it from the main site later.
- Jake (aka Jawee)
from twhirl
It just installs on top of the existing version.
- Rich
What's the md5? My file (windows) has MD5 = c971bb2273d24d62dd15dcdbd6030ea3
- Rich
Dynamite! thanks bwana!!!
- Noah Carter
Is really the final version identical to the RC3 and so the version we are downloading is just a set up for the firefox down(load) day
- Stéphane Guérin
Thanks Bwana, struggling with server down for minutes :)
- Dan H. Racek
I've only downloaded the Mac version, but the md5 matches on both FTP and the link I provided above. Mac OS X md5: 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283
- Bwana ☠
I cant spot much differences between RC3 and the final version
- Palin Ningthoujam
There shouldn't be many differences. But so far so good on my system. Seems a little snappier and uses less RAM than earlier betas.
- Robert Scoble
excelent
- Ruben Llibre
Updated. Thank you, Firefox team. A vast improvement over FF2.
- Chris Baskind
Did it. Can I go home now? :)
- Naor Mark
is there somewhere (or some tool) to check compatibility with your addons? I don't want to have to go to each individual addons page and read the fine print.
- Tim Hoeck
Palin, the final release of FF3 is identical to RC3. No code changes whatsoever; it's the same package.
- Gregory Pittman
from twhirl
Linked to this from RWW - awesome! :)
- Sarah Perez
The welcome page says "Release Candidate 3" after I install from the Mac OS X dmg with an MD5 of 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283. However, the about page says just "version 3.0".
- Fred Yankowski
from twhirl
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox... not working
- Varun Mahajan
The "about" page has said just "Version 3.0" for a while (or at least it does previous in RCs). I can haz actual release and not RC?
- Karim
Shawn, go to http://getfirebug.com. Under releases you can download beta 12. It works with 3. I'm not sure how stable it is, so, as with all betas, installer beware! They claim it to be stable.
- Joel Gray
...getting off topic here, but I've been using Firebug on FF3 for weeks and it's very stable.
- Daniel Shaw
Watch them live on Mogulus...they just said downloading from mozilla.org counts. http://www.mogulus.com/air_moz...
- Bwana ☠
thank you, I can finally download FF3
- Rajiv Doshi
yeah, i've been having a hard time getting the updated firebug for ff3. anyone have an alternative download link?
- Ivan Stegic
never mind, i just answered my own question. firebug for ff3 is available on the ftp servers too, in a different directory. go herE: ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/1843/
- Ivan Stegic
Thank you very much.
- Kevin Porter
thanks for providing the link
- Moksh Juneja
Wow, that link made it much todo about nothing.
- Russellreno
My Mac OS version also has MD5 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283 - can someone confirm whether it's really final or RC3 (or provide an official confirmation that final == RC3)?
- Chester
For those wondering, the md5 of the Mac OS X download from getfirefox.com and the one I provided above match. Both are 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283 Those are the official versions
- Bwana ☠
Dude. You're awesome! :)

Predictable, it seems. You set a goal for massive volumes of downloads, your servers will be hugely taxed.

Has anyone actually downloaded it yet? It's 17mins in.

Think there's some ISP intervention (Caching the older pages). Can't say it wasn't predictable. Reminds me of the old Microsoft dial-up days
