Considering what happens when you try to take photos of Netscape's fountain, it's no big surprise that you get arrested when you try to take photos of politicians. - Gabe Schaffer

Am I the only one who thinks that cop needs to look for a new job? - Dana Willhoit

@bruce: Is that Kucinich Wife? She's beatiful! - George The Writer

The beautiful blonde is my wife. Elizabeth Kucinich is the tall redhead. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo

Thanks, bruce, I'm reading more about Kucinich, and he's very different in a lot of issues in american politics, I should start to be more interested in american politics :) - George The Writer

Finally, big media is now involved in the brutality shown towards photographers. Perhaps something will happen now to stop it from happening in the future - William Spaetzel

total likebait. but it is the way i end up finding people to follow on here. - Jason Goldberg

let me put it differently, i seldom use the "find people to follow" functionality, so the way i discover people is by interacting with them. - Jason Goldberg

Me too. Not everyone but most... - Hakan Dahlstrom

You were already following me :P - John Worthington

I grow my list organically this way (and comments) too rather than the recommended A-list on signup. - Sally Church

It worked! :) - Tibor Holoda

I only hit like to expose this to everyone else. Jason and SocialMedian rock and I've been on record saying that since April. - Louis Gray

well, and i just found a bunch of new people to follow from this post ... cool! - Jason Goldberg

No ego problem... I am doing technologiy watch here... So no need to follow me... - Boubacar via twhirl

I can't believe you actually do this. :D - Cyvros/fyc

If someone *likes* something I submit, it's a great indication that I might want to follow them. If they leave a sharp comment, even better. - Jason Goldberg

people interaction is part of the core of FF - Olivier

Must not click like... must not click like... damn. - Eric

+1 Oliver. The interaction on FF is what I love the most. More in depth and on topic interacton than is available on fail whale central. - Monique

unintended consequences: i really WAS NOT looking for people to *like* this particular story. Rather, i was pointing out that liking or commenting on something i post is certainly the best way to get my attention to follow you - Jason Goldberg

I feel the same way. - Chris Luckhardt

Sorry Jason, but the more entertaining interpretation of why you posted this message is the one that will live on. You'll have no more luck getting the facts out than Gore did for the "I invented the Internet" lie. Reality just isn't funny enough. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo

You see Bruce, that's why I need to be able to add a *like* to your comment :) - Jason Goldberg

Alright, I "liked" a bunch of things. =) - Jauder Ho

Excellent linkbait - Charlie Anzman

Yes, please! - Anthony K Valley

Absolutely. I already work long days and then battle burn out at the end of those weeks. Having that home day would enhance my personal life and likely increase my efficiency in the office. - Jason Toney

Without question, yes. - Jason Wehmhoener

More like 7 half days ... these days. (PS: Great stuff lately :) - Charlie Anzman

Yes, yes, yes! - JA Castillo

Yes, but some days would be too long for me... But maybe I could do more with my show then... - Mike Wills

No. I'd prefer, crazily enough, six shorter days. ideal schedule would be from 7am to 1:30, Monday to Saturday. i like my afternoon and evenings free. - patricia elizabeth

Yes. I need to stop driving so much. I'll take Fridays off please. K Thanks Bye. - Ernie Oporto

I worked a 9/80 schedule and really liked it. Unfortunately, the Friday off tended to become a Honeydew day. - Victor Ryden

I think the way a 4 day work week is usually talked about is having 4 8 hour days... I think we'd all probably get just as much done and have more time for our families and friends. Better yet is to measure people on what they get done, rather than the time they spend on it. - Jason Carreira

I had a schedule where I worked alternate 4-day, 5-day weeks. I enjoyed it. Like many, I work a lot of hours anyway. I could probably switch to that schedule now if I really wanted to. - jbrotherlove

I used to work four 10s, M-Th, and loved it. I'd probably go back to it, too, especially if they'd let me work the extra two hours per day from home. - Akiva Moskovitz

I'm on a 4 / 10 right now, it's really sweet. - Jason Kaneshiro

Or exclude individual feeds — excluding individual services from the home feed would be a way, for example, to avoid repeated messages from three or four microblogging sites, wouldn't it? They would still be listed as services for others to see and it would be even possible to list them elsewhere. - Rodrigo Portela

Service specfic feeds would be awesome... - John Worthington

Definite win - Mo Kargas

yeah, i'd like to block certain feeds from some users or even just block that feed totally. If you could do it based on lists even better. - Charles Lacz

@jworthington: There are service specific feeds (filter by service and go to the end of the page), but it seems they can't be managed anyway in lists or other views, they can be just added from a feed reader. - Rodrigo Portela

Agree! Moreover, the underlines are so important for people to sort information: what are names? what are contents? The font color is not stressed enough to support this. - K.D.

I had the same reaction. I initially thought they had taken away the links for no apparent reason. I'm guessing they're thinking of improving readability. - William Spaetzel
