I'd rather this read "At FriendFeed hearing about new feed features coming in next two weeks."
- Thomas Hawk
Facebook hearing sounds like a Court Room drama
- paul mooney
I am finding people are underestimating Facebook feeds. FriendFeed is great but deeply embedded in geek culture. If it can't break out, it will not be significant beyond a great geek tool. Interested to hear what is coming
- David Jacobs
who did you friend on the night of the 15th, and what were you doing with that poke in the group? yeah I could see a CSI:Facebook
- Luke Kilpatrick
Facebook Pages and... ? A new news feed?
- Paul Papadimitriou
How bout unbreaking and unhiding the functions that were there before redesign? Kind of a Coke-Classic kind of move?
- Matthew DeVries
how about a way to have more than one rss feed added to Facebook? I've got multiple blog sites but I only add one and not all of them
- Patrick

They have been building up to the news. Should come in next few minutes.
- Robert Scoble
What, they're giving you the backstory of the company and the history of the product? Umm, you were kind of there.
- Matthew DeVries
+1 for Patrick. That's so needed. With a new news feed in the work (I guess), it's a possibilty.
- Paul Papadimitriou
March 11 for all of us

+1 Thomas

Thomas Hawk: Ha, I agree. In fact, I misread the post at first and was disappointed when I clicked through and realized it wasn't FriendFeed.

Summer intern?
- Mike Doeff
Yeah, Sanjeev was also there that same summer as it turns out.
- Paul Buchheit
Crazy.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
oooh look at how young and cute Paul is! :) very cool that you saved this! What was your job title then (intern for ______)? What location did you work at? Does that # mean you were the 39,325 employee hired by M$?
- Susan Beebe
I bet I could find mine if I tried, too.
- Gabe
I wish I still had my Apple badge. They made me give it back when I left.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Do I sense a meme coming?
- Chris Lamprecht
Yeah, unfortunately I don't seem to have any pics of my Sun badge, so I can't collect the whole set :(
- Paul Buchheit
bummer! collection is busted
- Susan Beebe
my work badges are boring white - no logo..nothing - designed for max security I guess
- Susan Beebe
Paul, did you work in Redmond?
- Gary Burd
Gary, Paul and I both worked in Redmond. Paul worked on Plus! Setup.
- Gabe
Oooh I remember Plus! that was really cool and made Win95 rock!
- Susan Beebe
Wow, I had no idea that you guys worked at Microsoft. Gabe, what did you work on?
- Gary Burd
Ex-PM in Developer Tools here. Visual J++ for the um, ...
- DeWitt Clinton
Maybe it would be more efficient for everyone who didn't work at Microsoft to raise their hand.
- DeWitt Clinton
How cute ;)
- Bindu Reddy
I worked on Win NT, debugging OLE. It was pretty bad because the NT OLE code was fine; all the bugs were in 16-bit OLE apps. There are few things worse than debugging interactions between two 16-bit apps you don't have the source to!
- Gabe
Wow, 16 bit OLE. Why didn't you force everyone to use 32bit Word and Excel? It would've been very Apple of you.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Yup, Redmond. I think I worked in building 4, which may not exist anymore, and lived across the street at "Timberlawn". I worked on the installer for "Plus Pack for Windows 95".
- Paul Buchheit
Eric, it gets worse: one of the first apps I had to look at was Ichitaro, Japan's #1 word processor at the time. It sure would have made things easier if I could have forced everybody to only use 32-bit English apps!
- Gabe
Awesome, Paul.
- Christopher Sacca
I tried, and I can't remember my ORCL employee number any more! Does that mean I've finally put it all out behind me?
- Tudor Bosman
My Intel WWID was 10599476, but I get the feeling that they added at least 10,000,000 to the employee number to generate that value.
- Paul Buchheit
I've already forgotten my Google employee number. I think my Yahoo! number was right around 9000...
- Kevin Fox
Ok here's a picture of my current ones I mentioned - sorta boring white plan ID badges http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Susan Beebe
haha, cool... And I didnt even know that I´m apparently the only person on friendfeed who hasn´t been a summer intern at Microsoft
- Peter Efland
At least they gave you a top-30 number at Google :)
- Charlie Anzman
Once again proving that you're "kind of a big deal". Nice badge!
- Randy Holloway

*swoon*
- Yuvi
I wonder if it was some kind of foresight to hang on to your old Microsoft badges, but not your diplomas.
- Clare Dibble
Nice, a blue badge. I consult for Microsoft and have an Orange badge.
- Alan Le
Wow! I was there that same summer interning for "Office Team Manager" I must have started a week or 2 before you as my employee number was 39207.
- Joe Beda ()
I think I returned my badge, so I can't remember what my employee number was. I worked on porting the standard ms installer from windows to the mac.
- Private Sanjeev
Sanjeev - a worthy cause for sure! :P
- Susan Beebe
It was a piece of code that Ben Slivka wrote to produce cab files :)
- Private Sanjeev
My MS ID was #38440 @ Microsoft... There were around 17k employees when I joined in 1995.

You seem very happy in this picture. There's still so much hope and optimism in that face.

Synchronize Google Calendar With Outlook - http://blogoscoped.com/archive...

Finally! I have needed this for my iPhone. I bought some shareware that does it, but it doesn't work very well.
- Bret Taylor
Great news! I've been waiting for this since Gcal launched.
- Andrei M. Marinescu
Bret does that work on the iPhone? I thought it's just a Windows exe...
- Philipp Lenssen
i have use this function before, and do not like ,because i use gmail web client
- qian
So the iPhone only syncs Outlook calendars. It doesn't even sync "web calendars" (i.e., it can't sync an ical calendar from Outlook, at least as far as I could tell). So my iPhone method is to sync Google Calendar to Outlook, then sync Outlook to iPhone. If there is a better way for iPhone, I would love to hear it. I was flabbergasted the iPhone calendar didn't support the ical format or any internet connectivity by default.
- Bret Taylor
Why don't you use Google Calendar directly on iPhone's Safari? (This question may be stupid, because again I don't have an iPhone.)
- Philipp Lenssen
The main reason is alerts and reminders. I sit programming, and I need my phone to ding at me if I need to leave for a meeting.
- Bret Taylor
Wonder if SMS reminders would do (that's probably costly) or if you can get iPhone to ping you when you get a new email reminder from Google Calendar, perhaps only when using a certain subject keyword. Google Calendar has a "5 minutes before" reminder setting...
- Philipp Lenssen
Now I'm no longer a liar when I said that this would be coming "soon" when we launched Calendar -- at least for some value of "soon". ;) Glad to see this live -- haven't tried it, but I hear its very solid.
- Carl Sjogreen
...and Philipp, at least in the states, its free to receive SMS messages and GCal doesn't charge.
- Carl Sjogreen
SMS message recipients are charged by some major carriers...

I use the Google Sync with my BlackBerry, which automagically syncs my GCal and Outlook cal via BlackBerry service. Pretty neat! http://abhishek.tiwari.com/2007...

"If you launch early, you can start earlier on the process of acquiring users. Don't launch with a crappy product -- launch as soon as what you have is better than what is out there. But don't wait for a perfect product -- launch as early as you can, get user feedback, and keep improving the product."
- Paul Buchheit
Interesting thoughts.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Look at the lower graphs. Who says mainstream media is dead. If anything, mainstream media is the enabler of new media.
- Omar Ismail
it isn't dead, but it is dying. it isn't the influence that is the measure of its lifespan, but their ledgers.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Looking at those graphs, my conclusion is actually press doesn't matter, it creates a curiosity pop that quickly goes to zero. What matters seems to be organic growth. Somewhere around July '07, users started sticking, the baseline slope became nonzero, and traffic took off. I guess press pops are good for giving you feedback early on, though.
- ⓞnor
Love David's openess. Really interesting graphs
- Immad Akhund
where is the friendfeed's various logos to choose from for pasting on blogs?
- huixing
slope became nonzero? you mean right after the Time article? Also, why are you ignoring the massive step increase that's precisely synchronized with the Newsweek article?
- j1m
It seems hard to believe that the Time article created a long-term positive trend (when lots of previous press had not). The Newsweek step function, maybe could be something. I guess it boils down to what they say: make a product people will actually stick to, and then get some press to start the exponential accumulation rolling.
- ⓞnor
The newsweek change is pretty big and crisp, I'm not sure you can explain it away. Poisson model, one process/user, probability of a return-to-site event determined by a stickiness function?
- j1m
I'll buy that, plus some probability of word-of-mouth spreading. This is why you really want that "where did you hear about us" survey question.
