Paul Carr's piece is rubbish (and disgusting) - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
Dan Morrill AKA Techwag liked this
I am not sure what to make of it honestly - I read it then started thinking back to news coverage of Vietnam, then the idea that the journalists in town must get blood splatter shots on everything they cover. Is there really a difference here between citizen and normal journalists, when do we participate or are we there simply to document? If I am out with my camera - it is to document...

I played it for a couple of months when it first came out. Then when everyone caught on to it, I quit playing. I have that app (along with all the others like it) completely blocked now.
- Jason Huebel
I've blocked all those apps in facebook, so I can have a readable stream with a low s/n ratio when I go in there. I'm not miserable, but I spend enough hours at a computer as it is, without trying to waste more time!
- Ian May
I played Farm Town for about two weeks. It was too much work for a "game," so I gave up. I never got into Farmville. My "friends" still send me all kinds of stuff from both games, though.

I don't play games. Just don't like to. Every so often I post an announcement that I won't respond to your game invitation so don't take offense. People still hit me with "pillows" and "food" and whatnot. Have they MET me?
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I love Farmville....there I said it. If ya don't like it, tough squat. I also play Cafe World, Pet Society, Farm Town and Mafia Wars, even though Mafia Wars is bugging me lately. I know people get sick of the apps, but they are fun time wasters. :P I guess I like Farmville because I am bringing out my inner farmer, since I'm from the country originally. :P
- Mol, Time Warping
I don't play farmville, but I do play Enchanted island (nice passive rpg that doesn't really annoy your friends) and the Backstage games (did the artwork for a charity prize set in Scratch & Win). And Bejeweled Blitz kind of grabs me every once in awhile when I get really bored. Come to think of it, I don't really have an interest in facebook beyond those few games.
- April Russo (app103)
I don't play any games on facebook. I avoid most apps like the plague.

Me neither. I've got so many invitations to play it, it is not even funny :P

I personally don't get the app craze on FB - I have a hard enough time just keeping up with people...tried at the beginning - lost interest.
- Robyn Hawk
Yay for http://www.facebook.com/pages... and the "block this ... " feature.
- Irma Vermaat
Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging people who play the games. I used to play the trivia games on there, like the one about the TV show Arrested Development. I even played that infernal Lil' Greenpatch one cuz I found out they really do donate to environmental orgs. I just happened to see this abundance of notices about the game Farmville and it struck me as this huge craze. I'm glad I know how to hide those notices now.
- Laura Norvig
I don't. No apps for me.

And me. I refuse. Also don't play Mafia Wars.

- Jeannette Høvring
No Facebook games at all. In fact, I was somewhat appalled to find one of my AdGabber friends playing Mafia Wars. Although I suppose I shouldn't take it so hard - he's an agency type - not a geek.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
In Italy we use to say: "Two good arms hijacked from Agriculture" and that's a very good reason NOT to play Farmville!
- marcoscud
Farmville won't show me all the screen, not just on my TabletPC, but on my desktop (widescreen) w/ Firefox. People tell me I can, er, was it resize or pop the screen out, don't remember? However, that icon doesn't make it into what little of Farmville shows. I prefer Farm Town, anyway. I don't want to be bothered with fertilizing and watering and all that stuff. If I want to do all that, I'll switch to real life. I don't even play Farm Town anymore; I like Castle Age. I SMACKED THE CRAP OUTTA THAT HYDRA!
- MiniMage, sheeple of FF
I've never played it, or it's ilk, either. Same deal with the various "games" on Twitter like SpamMaster, erm SpyMaster...

I think I'm too sensitive to be on FF anymore. Not sure if this will pass or not.

It's not 'just the Internet' for me anymore. It's like a family and I keep finding that I've been blocked or unsubscribed from by people that I thought I had friendships with or at least some cordiality. My life is in a chaotic place right now and I can't help but wonder what I did wrong and why no one is telling me. It's the same thing everywhere I go and I feel like maybe hermitage is a better life for me right now.

Ah, I meant to disable comments but you were too fast.
- joey
Yeah, please don't leave, Joey.
- Alex Scoble
Don't leave. :(
- Michelle Martinez
Don't leave!, but I know exactly what you mean, a lot of FriendFeeders I care about a lot and it does sting when stuff like that happens.
- Holden Page
I'm not talking about leaving and I didn't mean it to be construed as such. It was more an observation of my current mental state and how sensitive I'm feeling. And I don't want my feed to turn into nothing but wahh wahh. Like this.
- joey
But can you stand to be on FF any less? I'd bet not. ;) Don't go!
- Craig Eddy
This too shall pass. Take a break but don't go. Some FriendFeeders can be harsh and not know it, I just ignore them.
- AJ Batac
boy(i mean girl), you got quite some fans if you ask me :)
- Halit Okumus
I don't want anybody leaving from friendfeed.
- ashish
I didn't say I was leaving, just that I'm too sensitive right now.
- joey
I've felt like that. And then I stepped away, and read a book. Or did some writing. Or took some time out for me. It's good to unplug. Sometimes we're too plugged in. I'd be awful sad to see you go, but I can respect it if you do.
- Derrick
I think it feels worse because I'm not sure what to step away to right now. I need to work on that and then I can probably get back to my normal self.
- joey
Cut back. Do more browsing on other services. Don't take things too seriously here. Its best to just step away if it gets to hurt too much.

- Joe Silence is not dead
CWs, good idea. I've been reading but I haven't gotten out of the house much because I've had the flu. So I'm just feeling isolated and crummy all around and I'm ultra-sensitive to things here because as I said it feels like my extended family.
- joey
Joe, that sounds like a challenge!
- joey
As one who has rhino-tough skin and a cement-head to go with it, Joey, even I have to unplug once in a while. You shouldn't feel bad about it. You need to do what's good for you. If stepping away from the keyboard and finding out what makes you happy is what you need, then go and recharge your batteries. Just know that we're still here for you, love. :)
- Steven Perez
Find a local theatre or school that needs some help. Volunteer there a few hours a week.
- CW™
I just joined the a theatre group to help out when I have time. Need to do something enjoyable, creative and something that has nothing to do with computers. ;)
- CW™
CW, I definitely plan on doing that when I'm officially unemployed. I have some plans but I'm going to need variety and ideas to help keep myself active and social. Fall/Winter in Seattle can be hard. What do you do with the theatre group?

CW said "Cut back. Do more browsing on other services."... I think Scoble is pushing Ning this week, he's like the pusher man.

I heart joey. That is all.
- Jim Hearts FF
Thanks, Steven. I need to learn what recharges my batteries at this point in my life ;) That's more the crux of my issue.
- joey
Right now.. make calls. Help move scenery in, help build.. but there are other things like make the sets, props, costumes. Stage hand stuff or back end admin things.

It might help to keep a private journal for a little bit too, when I have a lot of complicated feelings I am upset over I just kind of spew it wherever, I finally started directing most of it into an offline word file. :P
- Dragon Goldmaple
That's really cool. A friend of mine used to work with a youth theatre; I'll have to see if they have any volunteer positions.
- joey
Andrea, that is a brilliant idea. I haven't done that for a while but that will save FF from my emo-ness and help me sort through my emotions. Plus, maybe I can publish it and it will be the next Twilight!!!11
- joey
I have to admit, there are a few people here who I would be disappointed if they unsubbed me. As for the rest of you... :-P (just kidding, of course)

other services I mean are like other forums for things your interested in... Games? Legos? Knitting? Militia Baby Monitoring services.. .

Hi Joey. New subscriber here. I have to just ignore a lot of what happens and take a break when things are affecting my emotional state. That's particularly hard online since I use FF to escape RL.

*hugs* Please understand, Joey, when someone blocks you it's about THEM, not about you. That said, if you're feeling prickly about FF, taking a breather is probably a good idea.
- vicster
vicster, that's true but I tend to assume that I did something to offend them and as I've posted earlier, I want to learn from my mistakes and things that I do that hurt others. I end up agonizing over what I've done wrong. I have social anxiety issues, heh. I'm not going to leave or anything, just musing that right now I'm definitely feeling over-sensitive.

Ya know its the Holiday Season. Your local city might be having a Holiday events and need volunteers. With leaving your company you could do some real fun work and see the benefit soon.

- Cristo
Joey, this was the reason why I left FF for a bit. Certain people unsubbed from me and I didn't know why. I figured out that I just needed to get away before I let that behavior get to me. At the end of the day, it IS them, not you. But you need to take care of YOU, and not let what anyone's opinion or actions get to you.
- Helen Sventitsky
joey, I won't claim to know *exactly* how you're feeling, but I spent so many years of my life blaming myself whenever someone I was friends with (or thought I was) suddenly stopped speaking to me. I'm an extremely sensitive (and shy) person. Being unsubbed/blocked/not spoken to, would devastate me and I always blamed myself.

joey, this is EXACTLY how I was feeling when I did that confusing thing of creating a 2nd account. And I know people didn't really understand why I did it, but it really helped. I started from scratch and I locked my account. I certainly didn't do it with the aim of alienating people but I figured it was that or leaving. And I didn't really wanna leave. Do what feels right but if you have the patience for it, maybe tweak how you're using the service and see if that helps.

I think your first comment after the post says it all. Just like a real family, your internet family is filled with misunderstandings, disagreements, disappointments, and differing moods as well as with thrills, joys, discoveries, and celebrations. We can't control what anyone else does IRL or on the net, just what we do and how we respond. You're not doing anything wrong.

IF ONE MORE PERSON TELLS ME NOT TO LEAVE, I'M LEAVING! ;P

And by that I mean that this post was in no way meant to be about me wanting to leave (I don't). I was just making an observation about how I'm feeling too sensitive and thin-skinned for FriendFeed these days. And for going to work, and interacting with offline friends on FB, etc. An observation of my character and mental state and how emo I am right now.

Shevonne for being a fly girl with some fire ... I'll continue in a bit

I´ll add some love for Derrick as well b/c he was the first friendfeeder to take me under his wing and show me the ropes here. BUT there has since become a handful or two more that define my good friendfeed experience. Intelligence, humour and warmth is abundant amongst you all, so thanks.

It's hard to pick anyone out because my total FF is made up of so many brilliant people: funny, witty, acerbic, insightful, mind-blowing, thrusting, truth-seekers, provocative, timelords (okay, there might only be one of them...). I love the tech, the LOLs (and the LOLcats), the debates, the discussions, the shared problems, the glimpses into others' lives....And Monique, you have started one of my favourite threads so special props to you.
- WorldofHiglet
Monique is a clever woman to kick off such a good thread
- RAPatton
Josh and Trish and Tina and Yolanda and Derrick and DYSP Steven make me smile and laugh when I need it. Johnny Worthington always hears when I post an "OMG help me!" kind of thing, and he usually responds with the most absurd and sweet message. Also, he has haiku battles with me, which is all kinds of WIN. Mark W and Fierce Lindsay make me smile, and Mark VandenBerg makes me LOL. And there are so many other sweet and funny and clever people who fill my day here on FriendFeed... thank you to everyone!

Returning the love to Amani and Abby -- you guys are two of the most honest and kindest souls on FF. Others: RAPatton probably doesn't have a single mean bone in him (ok, poor choice of words there), I could watch Dobromir's feed all day long, Shevonne is a ray of FF sunshine, Akiva is just flat out funny
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
There are so many people here that make being here worthwhile that I cannot single out just one. You guys all rock in your own special ways.

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would blow up like this. I think this is a clear example of the value of friendfeed: the relationships we build. Sure, we have differing interests, politics, social situations and opinons, but at the end of the day, what we come here for are the people. No one exists in a vacuum, and if they did, they probably wouldn't have a friendfeed...

I understand wanting to make money, however, when it causes you to not disclose all issues with a product, that's bad. You might as well not review anything at that point, because you have no credibility after that.

Hehe, well any consumer electronics companies can feel free to send me stuff to review, they should just expect to get the bitter with the sweet.

No clue what this is about, but that's never stopped me before. Never offended by an intelligent opinion being express, besides with Scoble as a last name expressing an opinion is a given

Never apologise for having an opinion, even if that opinion offends someone.

Daily Express | Odd News :: Calf frolics again on prosthetic legs - http://www.express.co.uk/posts...

"THIS calf escaped the butcher's knife when a brush with frostbite left her without hind legs. Meadow, a yearling Black Angus, is believed to be the first bovine recipient of double prosthetics. Doctors were forced to amputate the calf's back legs in August after she was found in a paddock having lost her hooves and half her ears to severe frostbite."

but how did she get frostbite that severe in the first place?

poor darling.

How do you get frost bite in august?
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Meadow is apparently from Ocate, New Mexico, which is here: http://maps.google.com/maps... ... and without heftier digging I've no idea what the climate is like there in August. But maybe walking in a cold stream or field, toss in some windchill, so circulation to the extremities is impaired, so she slows down and stops moving, which means she gets colder, yadda yadda vicious circle.

Blackboard and Microsoft Team Up on New Offering for Students | Sarah In Tampa | Channel 10 - http://on10.net/blogs...
From the page: "Blackboard Inc., the educational technology company whose software system is used across campuses worldwide, recently announced a partnership with Microsoft. The purpose of the alliance is to deliver new integrations into the Bing toolbar which will alert students to updated course material when it becomes available through the Blackboard Learn platform. This will make it easier for students who now have to log into Blackboard several times throughout the day to check for assignments, grades, announcements, and other sorts of information. With âÂoeBlackboard Learn for Bing,â these updates will arrive directly in their web browser instead and there will be no need to actually log into Blackboard to see them. "

Same sides but the percentages are off. Should be about 70/30 pink/blue.
- Kenton
Hmmm, just looked at the big version. That's actually pretty close.
- Kenton
Husband does the same thing to me, with the snuggling. I've ended up on the floor a time or two. And guess whose feet the cats sleep at?
