"The Volkswagen Microbus is a classic - even to those of us born after its time. Arguably unlike the newly remade Beetle, this remake of a VW classic is remarkably true to the original on the outside - but on the inside it is a bio-diesel hybrid stuffed full of high tech gadgetry and eco-friendly innovations."

sounds awesome. live the hippie dream, only it probably costs about $50,000 or something.

Not a fan. Then again, didn't like the original ;)

Afraid not Thomas, $129,000

Super cool VW Bus making a comeback...
- Walt Ruppar
First of all, I'll cop to wanting one of these. That being said, Jason is right. This is for rich hippies (who probably aren't hippies at all). The VW microbus became the darling of the Flower Power crowd because it was cheap, easy to repair, and big. You could camp in it. Is there a car today that fits this bill?
- Chris Baskind
wow, you can buy an awful lot of pot with $129,000.
- Thomas Hawk
I don't know a self-respecting hippie that would prefer this over a really nice indoor greenhouse. ;-)
- Chris Baskind
@Chris, Most cars today aren't as simple, but with the wealth of knowledge online, it just takes more time. The minivan/SUV can become a camper van with a few mods. They'll never take the place of the VW, but they're an updated version of the 70s panelvan conversions (hopefully without shag carpeting & a disco-ball).
- Steven Cains
Nope: there will never be anything that simple again. That's not all bad: I can't imagine a 1960s VW Minibus would satisfy *any* federal safety standard these days. You're right. A used minivan might be the closest thing.
- Chris Baskind

Very intriguing. How much steel is in that thing? Chris, that would be my next question after fuel consumption: how safe is this thing? And I agree, when we can go back to making transportation that costs less than a small home, we may have achieved something amazing. ;)

However, I have heard (and I'm not remembering where at the moment) that there has been a movement growing of people seeking alternative housing and substituting things like this as the new "mobile" home.

So after reading this article yesterday, I found myself this evening in front of a local place that specializes in reconditioning old VWs. It was closed, but there's an awesome red and white microbus out front with a For Sale sign on it. Ugly, underpowered -- and probably dangerous, by modern standards. Want. ;-)

I actually had to cut back on my lunch beer, because I was getting sleepy around 2pm. But when I worked outside the home, my coworkers *always* drank at lunch. I don't know how they functioned.

Also - Facebook = "Real life Friends". If you only friend people you're actually friends with it's actually a terrific application for keeping in touch. If you try to treat it like a Friendfeed/Twitter/MySpace then you wind up with a load of crap and its utility takes a nose dive.

I don't get why people who don't like apps don't block them all, or why people who do like them feel the need to send invites to everyone, let alone whine that you haven't accepted. Most apps I use have a button that shows your friends with the app, and I only send to those.

Smart people catch on to spamming apps quickly, they recognize when they've been spammed, instead of signing up and passing them along, or continuing to request you join (insert game of the week.) If your friends can't figure out what's annoying to you, how can you expect Facebook to?
- Richard Lawler
immediately block app requests as they come in! according to the picture there were not so many apps involved here, but blocking them from the beginning on spares you more invitations..
- Johannan Edelman
I thought my FaceBook was bad when requests piled up, but you definitely win! I don't feel quite so irritated about it, now ;o)

Yeah, that's one thing I hate about FB, those cutesy apps. I almost never participate in that...

Some of my friends are so annoying on FB that I have to permanently block all invites from them. Bloody Blood-sucking-vampire-stricken-greek-godish-monsters.

@Chris: Indeed it is sad. I am in the process of forming a group called "People who hate people".

WOAH! You know, I think it is funny, I removed ALL my apps the other day, AND told all my friends that I removed my apps, and they are STILL sending me app invites. If you keep up on it, it's fine. If you don't, it looks like this... /sigh

But FB is still better than the Google counterpart - Orkut. The sleaziest Social Website of all times. Their tag line : "Its so easy to get molested online, let us make it easier for you".

Some apps are good but most are just spam. Good apps are hard to find but there are a few nice ones out there, I like the ff app and the twitter app. I also use the slayers app and the compare people app. I'm a little shallow.
- Wesley Robin Guerrero
I hate the updates that I don't need. A large number of apps are useless.

I like FF for commenting on stories and seeing a discussion. I like FB for smaller discussions. FF bigest minus for me is the lack of a notification if someone specifically responds to me.
- ChiliMac
Agree with ChiliMac.
- Aman
That's a big list... I'm getting tired of hitting the ignore as well.
- Gary Gifford Jr
Believe me, even a good confrontation with those slimy friends does do any good. They keep sending invites even after that.
- Aman
I'd be a rich man if if I got a penny for everytime I click ignore. I'm just not making that much use out Facebook nowadays! That's why I decided to give FriendFeed a test trial.
- Vincent Nguyen
This is why they made the block function, I've blocked over 500 applications and I don't get many requests anymore. I promise, it works.
- Aaron Myers
It looks like facebook just threw up on your screen, IGNORE ALL!! And back away slooowly...
- Peter To
I don't get it. I have 600+ friends on FB (not crazy huge, but not an insubstantial number). About once a week, I do a combo of ignore-app's and ignore-all-apps from a few friends, and voila! In about 1-2 minutes, I'm all set. 1-2 minutes a week. How many friends do you have on FB, Thomas? And how many years has it been since you've cleared things out? While I think FB shares some of the blame, is this situation any different than not cleaning *anything else* out once in a while?

FFBlockr is a service which lets you learn who 'most probably' blocked you in your FriendFeed network.
- Erhan Erdogan
Interesting.
- Uncle CW™
I was sure that someone will launch this kind of apps :)
- directeur
I have been blocked by two users. Thank you ffblockr! :-)
- Erhan Erdogan
Why dos this service NOT use the FF Remote Key !? I don't use any Twitter services that require my Twitter password, and I certainly wouldn't use any FF service that required my password instead of my Remote Key.
- LogEx
little feedback: the by default disabled and checked box is NOT good at all...
- directeur
Logical Extreme is right, why not the remote key?? I first thought they meant "remote key" but it really needs the password?
- directeur
Logical: You are really right. But I really want to learn who blocked me. IMO, try it then change your password. ;-) Like I did.
- Erhan Erdogan

- Barış (beyn.org)
No option to not share who I blocked? Pffft.
- Admiral Anika
unliked when saw it needed my password and not just the remote key
- Amber, Random Time Lord
already changed my password :-S also, I can't see this supposed "top 10" so i'm even more suspect
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
i love it! I did not see anything to worry about and in the end I received my results and were happy about it.
- D. Eda Goze
Are there any differences in the API for password vs. remote key, other than write/delete account info, that would account for this requirement? The site seems to imply that.
- LogEx
jcunwired: Haha I enjoyed! But why India? They are really doing good jobs. Didn't you hear anything before? Where are you? In Antartica??
- Erhan Erdogan
well, you can change your password before you start "posting such messages".
- D. Eda Goze
I tried it out. email shows that I only have one blockr.
- Sinan Ata
Oh, I don't care who's blocked me. I thought this was to see who was mostly likely to block someone.
- Admiral Anika
Is it really necessary to learn who blocked me (or you)?

Ah thanks Erhan :)
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
I tried it out and it says I have 666 minutes to wait. Is that its way of telling me to go to hell? Heh.
- Robert Scoble
omg , "Time left for results : approx. ~726 mins (this may increase)" - well i don't want to know am i blocked or not, just tried out. now i have to change my pass... =/
- Batu
ha! i can do the calculations in 725 minutes less! tick... tick... tick... done! I don't think anyone's blocked me.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
it said 282~mins when it started, it says 282~mins now. wth? plus, it's been 560 minutes.
- Barış (beyn.org)
Robert: I wonder that Dave Winer was blocked you or not. Your list will be interesting. :-)
- Erhan Erdogan
I don't get this. Why bother?
- Francois A.
My approximate wait time in the queue ~1482 minutes , ah no, changing password back.
- ThePicMan
The FF password requirement is a dealkiller for FFBlockr. Besides I know folks like Winer already blocked me.
- Ernie Oporto
from Nambu
Same thing here - no update. Had changed password to try this, changed it back. Interesting idea, too bad it's not working.
- Hutch Carpenter
Hi all. Sorry for answering late. We ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STORE your passwords. And it can control 1 account in a minute because of the server. Why not REMOTE KEY: This system works with your perspective and logins into your account and visit all members of your network. Why 1700 mins? Now it is half of it.
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
I'm really sorry, because system did not started to work and there are currently 143 people on the queue. Now you can check the time left from your track URL.
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
I already know some who block me, so I will see if it gets it right. I am 855 minutes in the queue. :-)
- Louis Gray
"Dear barisunver, your recent request from FFBlockr is failed." it says that it's because I changed my password. And yes, I did change my password.
- Barış (beyn.org)
Louis: I got it. Look it and wait. http://friendfeed.com/e... :-)
- Erhan Erdogan
@Louis I'm really sorry... the system did not started to work at all, and I promise, you will receive the results.
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
It looks like FF blocked the FFBlockr . What an irony :)

FriendFeed temporarily (or permanently ?!) _blocked_ requests from our server. We are going to continue delivering results manually when this block is gone away :-{
