Merry Christmas to the FriendFeed team. You guys rock! FriendFeed reacts quickly and you're adding wonderful features all the time (Thanks soooo much for the "edit" feature.)
- Mitchell Tsai
Happy Holidays FF crue -- you've made this an excellent and memorable year for many of us. Facebook couldn't have done it without you! :)
- Christopher Galtenberg
w00t you gave me the best online year in 15 years!!! ;p Thanks a lot, everyone, for what you've done here XD
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
Sigh. Sometimes it is the little touches, like seasonal logos or easter eggs, that mark a site as a living project, and that you really miss when the developers have all moved on to something else.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Haha, I forgot that my Amazon wish list got posted to FF. LOL. Yes, I've been looking an armand for the iPod Chris got me for my birthday. Since they came out with a new generation I can never find any in the stores...and, this one is PINK! :-)

Still alive? Sorry but this remains to be proved, a post every now and then or a cake are not enough. No announcement of any new feature since Google [edit:Facebook] bought out Friendfeed, if that is not an indication that Friendfeed is quietly [but surely] put aside for a slow death I don't know what is.
- lelapin
@lelapin: 1, Facebook, not Google. 2, no new features != slow death. First of all, community is independent of the evolution of the technology. There are tons of forums out there that haven't added new features in ages but are still highly active. 3, it could be argued that FriendFeed doesn't *need* new features: it's a very complete and functional platform, that does what it does well.

And, in response to the original post, Hellz Yeah!
- Louis Simoneau
@LouisSimoneau: 1 - thanks for the heads up 2 - cemeteries are extending in size and population still would you take them as example to back up your argument, as 'highly active'? 3 - could be indeed, I would not though since, no matter what sector you're in, no change, no new feature irremediably leads to obsolescence.

"Ms. Yang and Mr. Muller met in May 2008 while working at FriendFeed, a startup social networking Web site in Mountain View, Calif." / Congratulations, guys!

Wow, in the NY Times!!! Congratulations!!!! :)

The first and only FriendFeed wedding!
- Sheila Taylor
There have been other FriendFeed weddings, but no double-FriendFeed weddings! And yup, this'll be the last one (unless Prop 8 falls and there are a couple other big surprises!).

Our neighbors have these for when they want to sit out on their patios for cocktail hour and the wind is a bit chilly...they are actually quite brilliant!

Today would be dad's birthday. I miss him. Made marinara sauce last night and had an imaginary debate with him on peeling the tomatoes (he did) or not (I don't). It would have been a lot more fun in person. Going out to Sonoma to spend the night with mom.
I'm with Grandpa-- I always peel the tomatoes. Say hi to Grandma for me!
- Shannon Jiménez
Boy, do I miss those debates with Papa! Regarding your debate...I never peel the tomatoes...and Papa used to always tell me that I made more work doing it my way. Hugs to Mickey when you are in Sonoma!

"How did three Stanford computer science alumni and a friend make a huge mark on the world of social networking? With social networking, of course. The story of the founding of FriendFeed, an influential social information sharing site acquired in August for a rumored $47.5 million by Facebook, is a tale of investing in relationships. Eleven years ago, Jim Norris (BS 2002, MS 2004 CS) and Bret Taylor (BS 2002, MS 2003 CS) arrived on the Stanford campus with vastly different interests. Norris came to school focused intently on a long-time interest in computers. From his childhood days in the Napa Valley tinkering with code on an Apple IIc computer, he knew he enjoyed making technology work and the Stanford classes he enjoyed the most were hard-core, operating systems and compiler courses taught by Professors Mendel Rosenblum and Monica Lam."

"Taylor, on the other hand, expected to spend his days in the History Corner of the Main Quad, preparing to be a lawyer. But like many Stanford undergraduates do every year, he took what he figured would be an elective, CS106X, “Programming Abstractions,” with lecturer Jerry Cain (a full-time employee of Facebook) and that hooked him on computer science. He had done some Web design a...

"By sophomore year, Norris and Taylor had found so many common interests that they started taking classes and doing projects together. Midway through his co-term year, Taylor went to work for Google. Norris joined him there six months later. At the then fast-growing search startup, they helped create now-familiar products such as Google Maps. Meanwhile, Sanjeev Singh (BS 1996 CS) and Paul Buchheit (who studied at Case Western Reserve University), were working to create Gmail."

"Like Norris, Singh cut his teeth programming an Apple II. Singh grew up in Singapore but what brought him to the Bay Area for college was the inspiration he felt in high school when he read Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by now Stanford President John Hennessy and leading UC Berkeley computer science professor David Patterson. Cal didn’t accept Singh but Stanford did....
