So that was the TGIFF ("Thank Goodness It's FriendFeed") party? Perhaps slightly off-topic, but if Camiila hasn't been betrothed yet, have I got a grandson for her ;-))

None of these ladies, Yolanda/Shevonne?
- Andrew Trinh
Johansson...aside from the physical, I think should would be the better conversationalist.
- JA Castillo
What Yolanda and Shevonne said. Obviously.
- Derrick
Derrick, that's cheating. Let's say everyone had to pick ONE of these ladies, who would you choose (not necessarily based on physical appearance)?
- Andrew Trinh
from IM
I guess I would choose Scarlett. I wouldn't choose Jessica Alba because she is ashamed of her latin roots. Beyonce still annoys me with how she handled the whole Destiny's Child thing. Scarlett hasn't done anything to irritate me, so if we are not basing it on looks and I have to choose one, then Scarlett.
- Shevonne
Yes? Oh wait this is another cosmo how to secretly make your fiancé guilty trick. The correct answer is, they're all uglier than my lady!
- Mark Essel
from iPhone
Well, if I have to choose, I'd like to hang out with Scarlett. She might have some interesting stories to tell.
- Yolanda
Beyonce is just dos muchos, Jessica Alba? Meh. And I'm still hating on Scarlett for A) Lost in Translation, and B) Marrying Ryan Reynolds.
- Derrick
Beyonce is about as fake as the airbrushing on that photograph, and would probably hold a conversation as well as a potted plant. Jessica seems far too stuck up and high-maintenance, and I agree with Shevonne about losing points because she's ashamed of her heritage. Scarlett is intelligent and multi-talented, so I'd have to go with her.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Scarlett Johansson seems to be the clear winner so far because she seems to have more brains and personality than the other two (or she puts you to sleep if you're a chronic insomniac…interpret that as you will). One point goes to Mark Essel's lady.
- Andrew Trinh
i think i have a prob. since i only see scarlette... :)))
- Atif UNALDI
my wife blows these ladies out of the water. sorry, no bikini-clad pics. just take my word for it... :)
- Scott Magdalein
@Scott A quick look through your Flickr gallery can amend that. Hubba hubba! :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Drop Alba for Ayumi Hamasaki and you've got my ultimate 4some! As much as I like the others, for me it has to be Scarlett as she genuinely seems to have a personality. Oh and my mum's blonde with big tits so according to the Oedipus complex I really had no choice in the matter!
- Toby Graham
@haggis - oh yeah, LOL. I ain't lyin', huh!
- Scott Magdalein
I'd go with Scarlett, but dang that photo of her is awful.
- Tristan Seligmann
i dunno, i think the only bad part is the expression on her face. it's like she's waiting for you to discover the poop she smeared on your chin while you were napping.
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
Even though I can't stand her music, Beyonce. The other two, while pretty, could use a sandwich or a bowl of grits....just sayin.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
None of the above, it would've been Scarlett hands down till she stole my boyfriend Ryan Reynolds. Bitch.
- sofarsoShawn
If this had been posed circa Dark Angel, well, no contest. But Scarlett has since dethroned Ms. Alba. Oh, though even circa Dark Angel, if you replaced Beyonce with Original Cindy, I'd have problems choosing.
- Michael W. May
Well, it's official. I am now an employee of Facebook :) And as promised, now that the deal has closed, I've finally gone and created a Facebook account. - http://www.facebook.com/anayang
Congrats. But do you intend to use FB only for private networking ?
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
That was fast, not even a week after Bret's announcing acceptance of "Facebook friend request" [http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009...]. Given that you must be the single non-engineer of the twelve FF personnel (as per TechCrunch report of there being 11 engineers in the company), what will be your function and duties at the Facebook Hogwarts Manor? http://images.google.com/images...
- ianf ⌘
LOLLLLLL Sorry about yer Luck Ana! ;)) I'm actually considering Suing FacePOOP fer giving me da Boot a week ago!! Ya gotta Love their Kangaroo Court!!
- Billy Warhol
were they saving the anayang name for you?
- Thomas Hawk
Is Facebook account a requirement for all Facebook employees? Is it considered "testing" when you spend paid by the company time on your own Facebook account? Or it's a "crime" only for the QA department to use their own (as alternative to testing ones) accounts?
- earlyadopter
"As Facebook continues to roll out the full version of its new user profiles, it’s becoming clear that their primary goal isn’t, as they said in May, to simply create a cleaner user experience and allow developers to have more meaningful engagement points with users. It’s more about highlighting new content relevant to the user and fostering conversations about that content. And the result is that the Facebook home page looks an awful lot like the exponentially smaller activity stream aggregation service called Friendfeed."
- Louis Gray
from Bookmarklet
there is ONE thing Facebook cannot replicate from Friendfeed. Speed of execution. FriendFeed will always be better and will always be one step ahead
- Ouriel Ohayon
That would be the site with 60m monthly visitors Fred.
- Jamie
Coming from the other side, I’d like to see the Facebookization of Friendfeed (without sucking that is). FF is a great place for content and discussion, but not so much for community and social networking.
- Hao Chen
Facebook's largely self-contained, immersive "social" and "fun" walled garden works especially well for interpersonal relations, and the upcoming facelift improves on those same principles. I'm impressed. That said, it's too heavyweight for active group conversations. FF has far and away the most effective implementation of group discussions, especially around "the rest of the web". It's great to have both FB and FF, each optimized around their use cases.
- Amir Gharaat
The only thing I'm sure of is that Facebook will be unable to recommend the same 9 persons to add as friends to everyone - so hopefully we will still be able to choose exactly who we want to talk to.
- Svetlana Gladkova
Friendfeed = open; facebook = closed; this would be an area i'd be happy to see facebook copy
- Alex Gawley
@Thomas, LOL... I always crack up when I see, in any FB thread your "Facebook is boring".
- Juan Pablo González
Friendfeed lays it all out as a stream of posts and comments. It's like reading a newspaper. Just my style.
- david
Facebook has lost its mojo really fast, I winder if the same will happen to FriendFeed
- João Almeida
from twhirl
@Joao lost its mojo with who? The twittersphere? Facebook was doing just fine before and after they jumped on and off the bandwagon. According to FB, UUs and engagement are up every month.
- Jamie
Almeida: yeah, Facebook is growing as fast as ever and tons of "normal people" swear by it. Just because us early-adopter-inside-the-techie-bubble are over here playing on FriendFeed, don't assume that everyone else is. 110 million are on Facebook, maybe more by now. When I went to Israel all I heard was "Facebook, Facebook, Facebook." Same with my niece and lots of others here in Silicon Valley. Also, its event calendar brings tons more people than others.
- Robert Scoble
Typical conversation with Real World Friends: "So I saw this post on Friend Feed..." "What's that?" "It's this website where it aggregates everything you do on various social networks" "Social Networks? Like..." "Flickr, Twitter, Yelp..." (Blank Stares) "Websites like Facebook are social.." "OHHH FACEBOOK.. That's the best site ever. *blah blah blah"
- George Smith
Alex Gawley: Seems that Facebook no longer will be closed. "This week facebook will also launch their Facebook Connect product, which is designed to let users get that data back out of Facebook." http://www.techcrunch.com/2008...
- Alex Sauceda
but do you think the average FB user is going to use the "comment on news feed" feature? a quick scan of some of my heavy-user FB friends last week showed no comments on any news feed items, and then a couple days ago i noticed someone's status message was "I hate all these comment tags on facebook now"...
- Trent Olson
I love FF but all my non geeks friends and family are on Facebook. Seems that it works better for them.
- Alex Sauceda
Keep in mind, that 18 months ago you could not have had this conversation with anyone who was not 1) in the SV echo chamber or 2) in college. Web services start small and some inflect to a larger community and some don't.
- Christopher Sacca
My friends on FB go to Flickr for conversation. None of them are on FF. I add FF contacts in FB to view their bios.
- Russellreno
Louis - Agreed but I think the reason is more that they're trying to do an even better job with targeted ads (to keep the price in check) ... ala GMail. I find my Facebook list growing from my activity on Friendfeed. Hmm
- Charlie Anzman
Was the FriendFeed mini-feed on Facebook axed: no summary, just a note showing something was added? It's doing that for Feedheads too. Is this happening with others folks?
- Blake N. Cooper
Jim: Thanks! Does that mean that my friends would need to change this on their end to see more than 1 line? I have a lot of my friends who will stick to the default (i.e. will be overwhelmed by process for changing) and most likely will not see the content of my Google Reader Shared Items and FriendFeed activity. Sucks if that's the case. Thanks again.
- Blake N. Cooper
Jim: Is that option retaining the setting - I have it set to one line, short and full, but the new items still seem to default to one line.
- Richard Peat
Funny how one year later we are actually seeing the Facebookization of Friendfeed...
- Jean-Marc Liotier
I love that - it is so cute! I don't know that I'd get it on my toes (pink sometimes makes my feet look extra super double pale) but I fully endorse that.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Just showed these to my missus who's been going to yoga for years. Her responses: "can't do that... can't do that... my legs don't do that... can't do that... no idea what that is... can't do that..." Damn.
- Mark H
I did not know this fact about you. I practiced yoga when i was in Sweden with one of my Indian Friend. she was really excellent in yoga.
- Mahdi Ebrahimi
@Shevonne, the tat alone is nice, but in that dress, for the look she was going for.. it needed to be hidden. There are appropriate times for tats... this dress is not one, unless its peaking out from inside her legs or on the back of her hips..

My husband said she wasn't me. of course, that's after he said she wasn't Rachel Sterling.

I think it makes her look more sultry. Maybe it's just me =)

You know some women looks so good-it's hard to see them as anything else--and I have to say it is true with Megan Fox. I was surprised when I saw an interview with her and she didn't come across as a "bimbo"--quite the contrary actually. NOT FAIR-NOT FAIR AT ALL. :)
- Kelly W.
Even though she's wearing a dress, she looks practically naked. I don't find that very classy.
- Laura Norvig
I might try it. Once. I do love donuts but much prefer frosted chocolate (not the same as chocolate frosted!).
- CAJ, somewhere else
I've had that. :) Not just me though. My coworkers and I split it. We were dragged there by some reps from the company we were meeting with because they said we'd die sad people if we never tried the donuts at that place. Delicious indeed.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Cake donuts are horrible, Jason! Regular donut dough rules, on the other hand.
- Andrew C
I happen to live in the town (Round Rock, TX) where these are made. Round Rock donuts are famous around these parts but most folks just got normal sized ones. They are very good by the way.
- Jeff Jones
Jeff Jones: Yeah man I saw that TX restaurant on Man v. Food. The host tried to eat the whole thing, but he failed. LOL
- Danny Minick
Donuts in any form are awesome but give me my Krispy Kremes :D
