New real-time Friendfeed: Wow, cool. Wow, nearly unreadable. (beta.friendfeed.com). Story: http://t.cnet.com/3s
It's actually usable. - Andrew
I still read this item. - Robert Scoble
This guy Rafe sure does have a lot of Twitter followers. What don't I know about him? - Daniel J. Pritchett
Dude, Rafe is the man...sittin next to the man - Bwana ☠
MrTweet told me to like Rafe, I just don't know the guy. I'm sure he's cool and was hoping for a quick blurb by way of explanation. I guess his LinkedIn profile tells me what I needed to know? - Daniel J. Pritchett
I like Rafe, cool - Susan Beebe
When did CNET get a URL shortener? - Steve Rubel
This is pretty minor, but where did the service icons next to each item disappear to? It is graphically pleasing and a definite time-saver to easily determine which service an item is from. Also, the icon section of my page that shows the services I use only has five icons there--even though the items from all the other services are still shown in the main feed section. It is a beta, but I just don't like it very much. - Eric Geller
Daniel, I liked him when I caught him on a buzz out loud a while ago... - Bwana ☠
Eric: their focus group killed them. I like this method better after getting used to it. - Robert Scoble
You can use the pause button on top of the new Friendfeed. It helps me a lot. - Alexis Bellido
Robert: Okay, thanks. I guess I understand where the "We hate the new Facebook redesign" people are coming from now. This Friendfeed refresh is not bad, and I can certainly get used to it, but I liked it as it was and didn't see a pressing need to switch. Is there a technical reason why they can't offer users a choice b/w the two styles? - Eric Geller
Eric: eventually yes. The new design lets them do a lot of things that aren't possible on the old design. Especially with search and filtering. - Robert Scoble
Steve: We built our own URL shortener, it's true. I thought there would come a time when people would stop trusting generic shorteners, or one of the majors would go offline. So I convinced some folks here to make our own, so a) users would know the short links weren't spam, and b) I'd know we could use it without worrying about it going offline. Currently, we only use it for our own links. - Rafe Needleman

Friendfeed comment needs threading, so you can comment on a particular comment
+1.. and also the ability to "like" comments - Sudar
like quotably does with twitter - The Product Guy
just put name and msg to them, I like the simple ui of one thread myself - wouldn't want the mess that is /. - mike "glemak" dunn
May be a few level deep might not be that bad.. The FF folks must be smart enough to handle comment threading in a nice way. - Muthu Ramadoss
yeah they need one of them pizza buttons in here. Not domino's though. Good pizza! :D or samosas - Mark Forman

Dominos is good in India.. Their Veggie stuff is really nice. - Muthu Ramadoss

& I'm not a Twitter-hater. But I'm just saying, if replies are really going to keep disappearing... I think that'd be the tipping point.
I haven't run into disappearing replies on Twitter. Then again, how would I know? - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
twitter lost a bunch of my replies today - The Product Guy
Hey I lost my car keys on twitter.Anyone see them? - Mark Forman
I was unclear, I think; I don't know if the entries are disappearing. I just meant the feature had temporarily disappeared, as in, it's disabled. My fault for trying to be too succinct. - Phil Crissman

World’s Fastest Browser: Apple Safari - http://digg.com/softwar...
"what about how it compares with firefox 3??" - The Product Guy
Sure it's fast, but it does not compare to the functionality and features of Firefox 3 (And well, even 2). Also FF3 is pretty darn fast itself :) - Bartek Ciszkowski

Netflix launches device for watching movies on TV | SOHO Networking | ZDNet.com - http://blogs.zdnet.com/soho-ne...
Netflix enters the Net-to-TV video race with the introduction of a $99.99 player that enables its members to stream up to 10,000 movies and TV shows. The company has let paying members of its DVD-by-mail service watch content on their computers for some t - Leo Laporte
Interesting, but not quite there yet. What I'd really love is the ability to watch Netflix movies through my Apple TV, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen any time soon. This just adds yet another box next to the TV, and what's worse, I need to keep my PC on while I use it, eating up more electricity. - Raoul Pop
it would be even better if they had movies worth downloading - The Product Guy
Looks like the PC doesn't need to be on while you watch... but you need it manage your Queue and select movies for streaming - Michael Markman

Maybe just a product of people feeling the pressure from finals, etc? Or, are university students no longer their key demographic? ;) - Brad McCrorey

I never did use Facebook much myself. And I signed up more than a decade ago. - Morton Fox
Facebook is just another web services company. In the near future, social networking is giong to be a feature, not an end in itself. Their only real hope is that they can get more sites to adopt FB Connect. - Steve Lynch from Alert Thingy
