Ross and Dan made this video to illustrate the advanced technology we use behind the scenes at FriendFeed. (Ross and Dan, you are amazing - I can't believe how awesome this thing turned out)

OK, not exactly what I was expecting, but very cool.

Anyone have the video somewhere other than Youtube? it's banned here in Turkey and I can't wait until we get home (next month) to watch it!!

Bret, this video should be titled: A Love Song for FriendFeed ! Great vid (and music) !

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

I think they need to make a full stop-motion version of the Matrix in legos. Now THAT would be awesome. I wonder what bullet-time looks like in LEGO?
- Bret Taylor
i'd pay to see the stop animation lego matrix, but not the sequels

The place is super tiny-- basically only a counter with space behind it where many people are assembling sandwiches (the line moves really quickly). I occasionally see bread carts being wheeled in from where they bake it next door.

News is tricky - aside from how it makes you feel. Humans like to stay up to date - but it is a /very/ inefficient way of learning things.

Agreed - there's a tiny amount of signal < 1%, coupled with mostly redundancy, noise, and bias. The biggest problem is the non-signal elements can be important social currency.

"I found it an interesting read. I especially liked the sentiment, "An organization that wins by exercising power starts to lose the ability to win by doing better work.", which I firmly believe. However I don't see how PG shows that Apple is somehow winning by exercising power. Can someone clarify this? PG even? I don't hear any explanation of how their exercise of power is helping them win."

Good work. I recommend not bothering to reintroduce it to check your results.

Re: "I am having trouble concentrating and coffee might help" - it probably would help. In theory, stimulants when needed is not such a bad idea. Coffee is an addictive drug, though - so use with caution - http://www.mycaffeineaddiction.com/caffein...
