After having a taste to Twitter's threading, I rarely want to comment to Twitter via FriendFeed anymore. Is it so much to ask to have our conversations make sense? I thought that was the point of FriendFeed.
- Andrew Trinh
Yeah I just discovered that "send this comment as an @reply" doesn't reply to the correct status id. I am always careful about replying to the correct tweet, so this feature is useless to me if it does not.

Goldman to Raise Capital, With $5 Billion From Buffett - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2008...
Hutch Carpenter, Derek, Josh Staiger and 6 other people liked this
"Warren E. Buffett, the country’s most famous investor and one of the world’s richest men, announced on Tuesday that he would invest $5 billion in Goldman Sachs, the embattled Wall Street titan, in a move that could bolster confidence in the financial markets. Until now, Mr. Buffett, who has navigated the stock market with legendary prowess, has largely refrained from investing in the stricken financial industry, saying repeatedly that things could get worse."

It'll be especially helpful in boosting investor confidence when GS tries to sell common stock to the public. Hopefully, they can raise enough money to keep things running.
- Henru
I'm curious as to why investors (in general, not picking on Buffett) would have any incentive to tell the truth about their thoughts and projections. Given that information is money, wouldn't an investor be better off having a monopoly on that information? That's why I don't understand the point of financial message boards—there's clearly no "wisdom of the crowds" in your typical internet discussion (outside of friendfeed) so what's the benefit of sharing anything?
- Jim Norris
An analysis of Warren Buffett's investment can be found at http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comment...
- Atul Arora
From Atul's link: "If Buffett were to go to the Street earlier today to buy 44 million calls with a $115 strike price (circa 2010), they would have cost him about $1.5 billion dollars. With GS now trading at $135, Buffett’s $5 billion investment is more like $3.5B, in terms of net cost to him. Hence, the 10% interest is more like 14%. Doug Kass thinks its an even better deal for...

It means that Buffett got a pretty good deal, assuming GS doesn't collapse.

"He gives us the power to conquer and win." Who or what exactly are we fighting? This weekend we went to a parade in Indiana, and there was a baptist church float singing "there's power in the blood of the lord". Sounds kind of cannibalistic if you ask me. Then again, during his time, Bach was writing innovative music for the church. It really hasn't changed. Church is part entertainment.

really cool... it's working now :) Is there any kind of priorities? Like FF entries take priority over Blogs, etc.. or is it first come, first served?
- Tim Hoeck
hmm. first off, I <3 friendfeed. But I am kinda sad to see it go the way of all software getting more and more popular, it gets more and more complicated. I love the elegant simplicity of the V1 and hope that you guys can continue to improve the service and features while still maintaining the "light" and simple feel. I know we all struggle with it, but with every V2 product release I'm reminded of this general pattern in SW design.
- Jenna Bilotta
I don't get how the duplicate feed works. If you look at the feed items for the two stories attached to this story, they don't have related links. Do they only show up on the home feed? Or does only the first story get the related links section?

Bret, awesome. Any chance of seeing this feature in contexts other than the main feed, like on profile pages and rooms?
- Mark Trapp
What's the time length for dupe aggregation? A day? A week? A month? All time?
- AJ Kohn
The feature will go live in profile pages and rooms soon. Rolling out this feature 100% will take a day or two, so right now, you will only see it on your home feed and friend lists, but we are actively working on transitioning our system so it is available everywhere.
- Bret Taylor
Interesting: if you have something hidden, let's say all Google Reader entries without likes and comments, and that's the most recent activity for the link, the entire discussion goes from visible to hidden. Edit: cool, thanks Bret.

Given that "trickle-down economics" lays things out in a very bare way, I wonder how persuasive such analysis has. It would seem that, for much of the G.O.P. constituency: 1) non-pocketbook issues trump pocketbook ones, or 2) short-term pocketbook self-interest is trumped by long-term pocketbook aspirations. Well, anyway...that Freakonomics post nicely illustrates how presentation is so important when it comes to quantitative data...for those who care about accurate analysis of data...or data in general.
