Picasa web albums now supports "collaborative albums" which means other people can, if you give them permission, upload photos into your albums. You are on the hook for any illegal photos put in your album and your quota is affected by their uploads. Why would I ever do this?
A friend and you join same event. You want to keep All pictures taken both by your friend and you in the same album
- Peter Theill
from iPhone
eh.. I guess I just wouldn't want to give up part of my limited quote to someone else - and or risk having my acct closed because my friend accidentally or intentionally uploaded a photo that violated the TOS - seems like way too much risk for very little reward. I'd rather my friend just had his own album of the same event and then I could link to it.

7 Reasons Why Google Wave Is Going To Be Awesome - http://webstudio13.com/2009...

"Back in May at Google I/O, Google revealed its next masterpiece, Google Wave, created by brother brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen and Stephanie Hannon out of Google’s Sydney, Australia offices. Google Wave is a product that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web. “A “wave” is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more” (About Wave). The Google Wave invention signifies Google’s determination to maintain its leading position in the Web 2.0 products/service development. This post illustrates 7 features that truly make Google Wave remarkable."

So what are your thoughts on #Facebook's acquisition of #FriendFeed? Do you think it's a good thing, bad thing? What do you think Facebook will bring to FriendFeed, and vice versa? What changes do you see happening to FriendFeed? Will FF be integrated into FF?

bad thing. I have a feeling FF will slowly disappear. Facebook will get marginally better.

- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

- Roberto
Ask me again in 6 months--if you still can.
- Steve Lowe
It will be a great thing. With more people the FriendFeed experience will explode
- Marcus
I share Roberto's opinion...
- Chiara Lorè
Facebook was looking to implement more of a public twitter-style thing, but a lot of users didn't like that it seemed to be making private conversations more public. If they could keep them separate in some ways, this could solve that. This could be the public facing side of Facebook. I think its a good thing.
- Ryan Massie
Not sure how my friends on Facebook will appreciate all the added stuff in my stream if they decide to integrate like that. I wouldn't mind as long as the core friendfeed functionality is there. Along with the search, filters and group features. We'll see, though
- Fox
FriendBook? Facefeed? What will this new marriage be called?
- Manu Ullas
Well, it can only help FB. I don't know what is going to happen to FF. Guess that is what is worrisome. I liked this place.
- Yolanda
It would be great if FB promote FF a lot as FF would get the millions and millions of users from FB. But surely FF will be integrated into FB at some point. I feel very sad atm. I hope I'm wrong.
- Kol Tregaskes
imho, it's good for many reasons, both for FF and FB. Better integration, content based advertising (based on comments, discussion topics and demographics on FB account) etc. FB successfully established a networking platform, yet, still couldn't be able to establish a healthy conversation platform (look for the useless fan pages + groups). FF would do it. It may also be the end of forum culture, and so...
- Eren Kumcuoğlu
Not sure what comes out of it. Hopefully both services are kept separate as I use them for separate purposes.
- Oliver Bouchard
Yeah, I agree Oliver. I use them both for separate purposes too. Not sure all my friends on facebook would be interested on all my shared stuff on friendfeed.
- Dan Smith
Personally, I think it is the beginning of the end of FF from user perspective. From FF team perspective it is the end of the beginning.
- Dilip Dand
Bad, bad, bad news.
- Louise Bolotin

I agree with Oliver Bouchard. That's something that Facebook has been lacking for quite a while. And I hate having to reload the whole pig of a Facebook page.
- Manu Ullas
I'm happy for the FriendFeed team, it's great news for them but I can't help think that we can't have the two sites running side by side for too long.
- Kol Tregaskes
Great thing for FriendFeed employees who manage not to be laid off. Bad thing for those who are laid off. Bad thing for FriendFeed users, many of whom came here to AVOID Facebook's persistent privacy problems.
- D0r0th34
I don't like the news, I preferred the two being separate; as far as I was concerned they were 2 separate networks for different groups of people.
- Arthur Guy
congrats to the FF team. They made a great service!
- Peter Theill
I just hope we can export the data before the site closes... that's going to be the biggest sadness... so much content that would be really disheartening to lose if the site closed completely
- Nathan Chase
congrats to FriendFeed! facebook tried to mimic the service with real-time profile updates but the FF technology is apparently too good and UI too smooth that they had to buy it! I'd imagine facebook integrates the technology without using the Friendfeed name so as not to corrupt the native FF community with n00bs
- Andy Sternberg
@cavlec Friendfeed doesn't have privacy problems, because it doesn't have privacy. But it will be a challenge for fb/ff to merge their streams without making the ff stream too private and the fb stream too public.
- Oliver Bouchard
from IM
Oliver... FriendFed has privacy in some very important ways: (1) Private feeds (2) private rooms (3) most importantly... you don't have to cough up any personal information to have an account on FF.
- LogEx
FF teams have made a great and simple tool, so congrats to them, but I don't like the FB aproach and hope this will not "mixed" too much. Is it the "market law"?
- Véronique Rabuteau
I'm worried that FriendFeed will turn into a walled garden like Facebook. I'm also worried by Facebook's repeated attempts to take ownership of users' content. Plus they don't really have a reputation for responsiveness to user concerns.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
John I agree with you. The public outcry to the change in their ToS was what made them back off.
- Manu Ullas
Agree with you 2 John.
- Véronique Rabuteau
Too early to have an opinion...
- Rasmus Lauridsen
logicalextremes: that's true. But friendfeed doesn't by far have as much private information as facebook.
- Oliver Bouchard
from IM
Not sure just yet, I think it will bring more users, but I love the tools that FF provides, not sure that FB will be able to integrate FF into FB interface and still provide access to all the great features that FF offers now?
- Brian
if FB bought FF is because they want to make money out of it. Therefore even if they keep it separate they will put ads on FF. But what I am most scared about is the proliferation of stupid applications and silly games with the only puprose of doing aggressive marketing.
- gibilix
I think it's a bad idea. Twitter is full of automatic spam and Facebook is full or redundant apps. We need an independent platform somewhere to hide from the clamor of social circuses

Not a good thing for FriendFeed.

As far as technology, I think they need it mainly for their Social-TV initiative to work, besides the obvious other services they offer. Most people are unaware that they have been continually upgrading their interactive/socialTV service over the last six months. They have already had two pay-per-view events which sold out at $66 a ticket. Facebook kept $22 and the balance went to...

I love it .. use it all the time. I did the switch from QuickSilver though I know a lot of people still thinks it's better than GQSB
- Peter Theill
I'm not sold on it yet. When QuickSilver was opensourced I started to look for a replacement and have been pretty happy with LaunchBar.
- Adam Turetzky
It is good, but not entirely stable and as feature-rich as Quicksilver. I have made the switch some weeks ago and it covers all of my use cases.
- Lars Trieloff
For Mac, I think Spotlight and Google Desktop are better, or just Google Desktop alone.
- Vinny
Hmm, I may have to try it out, then - I still use Quicksilver.
- Ryan - @magicofpi
I like it, but it doesn't have the plugins and other niceties of quicksilver. Like chrome, it's fully fleshed out, it will probably be better than the competitors, until then... nifty.
- Ted Roden
I agree with the other posters -- it's great, but not yet as powerful as quicksilver. That being said, it's great.
- Gregory Cohen
For me QuickSilver is superior because it has the cube interface, can upload things to Flickr, can search the web (and is not limited to Google searches) - i.e. I can say "d", tab, type to search Demonoid and it also seems way more responsive than QSB. I dunno
- newmedias
I just use Spotlight. I have tried QuickSilver, but I think it's too easy for me ;) I haven't tried Google Quick Search Box yet.
- Peter Kruit
Every time I see a reference to one of these alternate launcher things as a quicksilver killer, I think of something I do with quicksilver every day that it doesn't do. Spotlight is my search, quicksilver is for more directed stuff. I'm glad people are trying to do better, but it's got to at least do what I need already.
- Dustin Sallings
I used it (GQSB) for about a month and LaunchBar before that before switching back to QuickSilver which, I believe, is still being developed.
- Timothy Griffin
I tried to get into QuickSilver but Spotlight does everything I need. No one has ever been able to sell me on QuickSilver and boy have they tried.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, I use both. If spotlight does everything you need, then you don't need the stuff I do with quicksilver. :)
- Dustin Sallings
I second Dustin. Quicksilver do things that Spotlight can't and won't ever do. In fact, comparing Spotlight and Quicksilver is like comparing the search field on google.com and Ubiquity.
- Brome
As for the answer to Ryan's post, I've been using GSB for months. I used to be a happy Quicksilver user until OS X 10.5. Then Quicksilver became unstable and I finally switched to GSB. I think GSB is what he had in mind when he was talking about rewriting Quicksilver properly from scratch.
- Brome
I find it a bit sluggish to be honest. I've been using Butler recently, though my favourite so far is Launchbar (I find QuickSilver's configuration too counter-intuitive, though maybe I was missing something considering how much everyone waxes on about it).
- Jalada
I've installed LaunchBar and it seems all right so far. I'm guessing this will be one of those Twitter-like situations where you don't realize how useful it can be until after you've been using it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I can't imagine not having Quicksilver on one of my machines. <3 it much. I tried Butler years ago but not since, and I think its been about as long for LaunchBar. Haven't tried this Google one yet, but seeing how happy with Quicksilver -- why would I?
- Robert DeBord
I love Quicksilver, but really appreciate the ability to search my Google stuff on QSB. I do miss add-ons available in Quicksilver.
- Joel
I dropped Quicksilver to use it.
- Rich
Hasn't Quicksilver development stopped?
- Akiva Moskovitz
Nicholas Jitkoff who developed Quicksilver open-sourced the code. He is the one behind Google Quick Search Box and is putting his efforts behind QSB.
- Zach Holmquist
Gonna try this out now. I'm solely using Spotlight atm.
- Meryn Stol
It doesn't search through my files, so not really useful for me. They should include Spotlight results I think.
- Meryn Stol
Yeah it's good, but I don't use it so much though.
- Svartling
@Meryn if you look in the QSB Prefs it is searching your Documents and Downloads folder.
- Zach Holmquist
Hmmm it actually does index my files (I have them in my Documents folder), but it had some lag. Well, great then. I like the instant thumbnail. I consider it an improvement over the Spotlight UI.
- Meryn Stol
BIG improvement is that I don't have to turn my eyes to the absolute top-right of my screen as I have to with Spotlight.
