You know what would be fun. Get like 20 of us together and make like Louis Gray or Robert Scoble count to 100 and say "Ready or not here I come" while they're counting we all go "hide" on another social media site, and post something like "Monkey Trumpets" on a random thread. Then Louis or Robert would have to come find us all.
I didnt really want to add everyone i know on friendfeed to my facebook, i like to keep them seperate as much as i can. but you know what, fuck it http://www.facebook.com/simon... add a note saying you;re from friendfeed if you add me, then i can group everyone up :)
- Simon Wicks
Thanks, Simon. I've not started going through these yet. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm only going to add the people i actually talk to on here. I have a lot less people on my follow list than you, so its a bit easier for me :)

Remember, guys. According to FB, you're only allowed 5000 friends. Spend them wisely.
- James Myatt
As if we weren't before? Were they really that many people here who didn't also have a FB account, even if they didn't list it in their profile? I've been with FB since 2004

Well, with this news it is pushing me to start using my real name for web services and to kill (or at least slowly stop using) the tomit persona that I have used for many years. Find me here... http://www.facebook.com/ronaldb...

FF better figure out how not to destroy themselves (if possible) with this merger. Friendfeed in the FB interface will not work. I think FF really just f*cked themselves.

I'm on Facebook, but I don't have a name in my profile URL (yet; I'm still new...). But if you want it, it's http://www.facebook.com/profile... -- if you friend me, tell me you're from FF.
- Dennis Jernberg
I don't freaking have one because I never wanted to sign up for Facebook. :P Now I find out that through no fault of my own I'm technically a Facebook user? GAH.

http://facebook.com/alex.covic - I will friend everybody - for those of you concerned with friend/family + privacy = you can create lists (just like ff-groups) to keep FF-users in a different corner;-).
- Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic
I do not use it much LOL I just post to it from other sites so to fill up my friends stream, I do get messages and some status in text. Anyone who really wants to add me, use the facebook link on my profile. :o)
- David Gross
www.facebook.com/drodzand you won't see much since I got the privacy settings on max in Facebook. Just another reason why I think Facebook is completely different from friendfeed. I hope they keep friendfeed running because I use both services in diametrically diverse ways.

Thanks Rob, I had forgotten my username for I always used my email address to login - I found there is a settings > username > change thing that lets you change your username once and then you get a facebook.com/username url!

I am thinking about just using my Public Page more. Keep my regular profile for family and coworker data. Follow me here if you want more of the type of posts I do here of Friendfeed. http://www.facebook.com/pages...

"Amazon's Kindle hit an important and startling milestone yesterday: On Christmas, the company sold more Kindle books than physical books. Yes, this is obviously the result of everyone who got a Kindle for Christmas (lots of folks) firing it up and ordering a bunch of eBooks on a day in which most physical-book readers weren't shopping. But it's still important and impressive."

"I knew I needed to talk about GIRL COMICS in today’s column considering what this column is about and the fact that GC is one of the biggest mainstream ‘women in comics’ announcements since the announcement of MINX in 2006. However, I wasn’t sure if I had anything unique to add to the discussion. I felt like between the columnists, bloggers, critics, and fans the subject had been just about beat to death. And then, in one of the many articles I read, I stumbled across a comment that seemed particularly insightful and distinctly more positive than my outlook. The comment came from IDW editor Mariah Huehner, who is currently working on IDW’s ANGEL and in the past has worked on such heavy hitters as FABLES, SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS, and the MINX line. Considering Huehner’s experience in the industry and most especially her involvement with MINX I thought she would be the perfect person to talk to and someone that could perhaps bring me around to her more optimistic point of view."

" So without question I am completely excited about GIRL COMICS. It's impossible to not be excited to see that much talent (female or otherwise quite frankly) crammed into an anthology. And the cover? Forget about it...one of the best covers I've seen in a long while. However, I do think it sends a pretty dangerous message, both because of what it is, and because of the way the industry is already skewed (very exclusionary to women) and I think I am just feeling kind of 50,000 times burned, now shy."
- RAPatton
"Well, MINX was a very ambitious endeavor. I worked on the first few titles in its very beginning stages. The idea was to do stories a bit like independent films. Not quite the mainstream, a little odd, a little strange, for the girl reader who maybe doesn't quite know what to think about mainstream comics. It was meant to mirror a lot of what you see in YA lit. And try and reach an...

"Mariah: Hence why, until I actually see the stories and they prove otherwise, I'm optimistic. These are all great storytellers. Jill Thompson, Trina Robbins, Amanda Conner, Colleen Coover etc...it's quality stuff. Kelly: I think the stories are going to be great. I think they're going to be so great that I'm going to cry when it's over and I have to go back to 'business as usual'...

"I get as annoyed with people insisting all girls will like SANDMAN, as I do that they'll all like WONDER WOMAN. Kelly: Agreed. And I don't want to go negative and talk about the title...but we have to. What the hell were they thinking? Mariah: I suppose they were probably trying to be simple. MINX got a lot of negative reaction, even though it tested well, and was a reclamation and was...

And I am ok with that as long as they collect evenly from everyone - although this will also alter the pricing model of many amazon third party sellers. Should be interesting.

Just an interesting little tidbit... I don't celebrate Christmas. My wife is a practicing Jehovah's Witness and I'm what they call "inactive". Regardless, I want to wish everyone a happy holiday (whichever one you observe this time of year). Everybody stay safe, have a designated driver and watch out for kids riding their new bikes tomorrow. <3
My aunt had brain surgery yesterday that lasted fourteen hours. She's not awake yet, though, and has pneumonia. Please send positive thoughts, if you can.
Val, I haven't heard any updates today, other than she's still not awake. My mom is going in later to see what the doctors are saying. Thanks for all the nice thoughts and prayers!
- Trish R
Sending prayers and good thoughts, Trish.

She woke up early yesterday morning and was coherent and forming complete sentences. Thanks for all the positive thoughts -- the doctors still have to do a lot of tests but it's looking pretty good!

I didn't see this earlier, but that's great news, Trish!

My reaction was "Damn, I'm in the wrong profession." All I can do accidentally at work is bring a large #1 online property to a standstill globally. Somehow blowing up a building seems funner somehow.
