“I'm seriously considering starting a blog. Is WordPress the way to go?” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
good thread here - john conroy
It depends what you want to do - how much PHP and CSS do you know? How customizable do you want it? Is it for a company or for a personal blog? WordPress is a great way to go, but you just need to know what you want to do with your blog. For both beginners and those who want control, WordPress is often a good choice - Ben Parr
Yes, if you want to take care yourself of hosting and desing (you can easly just pick a premade template). Not if you don't even know how to do an FTP. Have you considered the hosted Wordpress.com ? Give it a try before getting in a self hosted Wordpress script. - Fabrice Epelboin
Personally, I would also start with a wordpress.com blog, just so you get the feel of it. If you like it, get your own site! - J.T Dabbagian
WordPress is the best. It does not take any more work, but it is much cleaner than other formats. - Ethan Jaynes
Heck YES! - Luke Martin

How many clicks on a mouse do you do a day?
too many - Matt
I am more of a mouser than a shortcut user, so a buttload. - Stephan Miller from twhirl
i'm sure their is some kind of program that can track it! - orionstarr
I'll try to remember to count tomorrow... ;#) - john conroy
Mine was under the 1,000's today but on some days I know it has to hit 10,000 and up - orionstarr
Far to many, can i get a app that counts for me ? - Jacqueline
I can't count but it has to be in the tens of thousands or more if you include double clicking - orionstarr

Oh, I'm so embarrassed! I just sent a DM to @zappos with a customer service question, not realizing it was the CEO. *blush*
Just about every employee of the company is on Twitter. It's hard to tweet without hitting one. :) - Hal Rottenberg
It's not like you sent one to @zapposCEO.. besides, he seems like a nice guy. - mark
Yeah, Tony is a cool guy. He won't mind. He's the one that really pushed his employees to Tweet. He also encourages other companies to do the same. He's doing some innovative management stuff there. (My fave is they offer new employees cash to leave as a test of their commitment/loyalty) - Paul Reynolds
own it. he's supposed to be the king of customer service anyway - Josh Haley

I am sure there is a lot of commentary you could put to this pic. My only comment is that the world at large must REALLY be tired of the current US Administration if you can get this many people (in another country) to cheer for the possible replacement. - Darrell Bell from twhirl
were the decemberists there too? - scott from twhirl
Ha @ scott. Those Decemberists really are a huge draw. Obama needs to stop riding their coat tails. - Kevin Bondelli
Perhaps he should run for German Chancellor - Ben Jackson from twhirl
Not commenting on BO but seriously does it matter if the Germans like our future president. That's usually a warning sign for me. - Todd Jordan
@kevin bondelli Maybe mccain should show up with Hasselhoff in tow. Those germans love him! - scott from twhirl
but there are Americans, lots of them, that do live overseas who will be voting. - Nathan Eckenrode
Ja wir kann! ;-) - Karim
I think the full size picture is about so many people taking a picture that half of the audience is not able to realize that they are making history by not being aware that they are being photographed too. - Ton Zijp
It's really fascinating to zoom into the large image and see the details. There is an amazing number of cameras in the audience. Plus: above the Angola sign, what is that person doing with the laptop? Is it taking a picture? - John from twhirl
Todd, It's a warning sign that a US presidential candidate is getting a warm welcome from citizens of a long-time ally that we'd managed to alienate to a large degree over the 8 years or so? Why is that? - Erik S
Germans? one would have to wonder what the Obama campaign people are thinking. I understand that it makes sense to stop somewhere on his way back from the mideast, but perhaps a lower key reception would of been in order? This is not going to get him elected in the US. This will cost him a bunch of points. Lets be objective here. I hope he had a great time because he is going to suffer with a hangover from this. - Noah David Simon

i think when God made potatoes he had hashbrowns in mind
Potato chips and fries too. - Yolanda

Dear Sunday - just a heads up, Sat is ruling your @#$ right now with a lesisurely AM, nap with the son, and a friend coming over with steaks - you'd better step it up, the lawn mowing u have planned for me puts u at a serious disadvantage
There you go Marco..if that pansy ass Sunday tries to get crazy, I got your back! What now Sunday?!! - Anna Haro

Sunday stood up for itself this time. I took my son to Starbucks this morning where we chilled and read and talked for over an hour. Just to two of us. It rocked Saturday's socks. - ha3rvey (big appetite)

I broke down and did it. White 16GB. There was a line of about 20 people at the Santa Rosa Apple store. Activation took no time at all, tho.
Big surprise there! :-) - Mark Sheppard
ahh...Leo...I thought you were going to wait till the bold came out.....but you let the money burn in your pocket.....*sigh* - Matt
Congrats on your purchase. I haven't taken that plunge yet :) - imabonehead
I would laugh, but I did the same thing this morning. - Jonathon
Why white over black? Does it hide fingerprints better? - Keith Dishman
I got the white 16g too. Love it. Saw Wall-E again today and the white 3G reminds me of Eve's smooth white awesomeness. - Steve Isaacs
Given the Leo Effect (TM) does this mean that the 2.0 IPhone is now obsolete? Can we expect 3.0 next week now? - John Lutz from fftogo
It's funny. I was JUST listening to the MacWeek podcast where you said you thought you were going to wait. - Michael Groner from twhirl
Boy, I wish you had not given your old one to Dane. You could given your old away. Like to me :) - eyeonpower from fftogo
So now that Leo has bought it, should we expect an announcement on the iphone 3.0... - James Fridley
agree with @james_fridley on FF, the iPhone 3.0 will be announced tomorrow now - Justin Yost
I knew you'd break down. I think I'm gonna get an iPod touch tomorrow myself. - Jim Bednarz
Congrats Leo. Welcome to the club:) - Grant
Wow, what a surprise. Why did you get white instead of black? - Doug Sampley
I figured black would be less likely to scream 'expensive gadget freak' to prospective muggers. - Joost Schuur
You waited a whole extra day, separating you nicely from the freaks who camped out overnight. Good job! - James Joyner
Leo Laporte
What does the app do? Show the video or let you know when you are live? - Mike Wills
Thanks. Installed fine on XP and seems to be working, though I can't tell for sure until the show is on air. - Johan Lindhoff
Heard you mention this on twit - thanks for the link, and thanks to the authors! - Dan Nimtz
Doesn't install in Linux....bummer. - Bryan
Nice one - thanks! - Jim Christian
Oh, I fear this is going to suck up even MORE of my time. :-) Lovely app, by the way. - Brent Newhall
Leo, when is you iPhone live show starting? - Teppo Kotirinta
Very neat app. Schedule on it is nice, too, now I just need to remember that the times on said schedule are pacific, not eastern :) - James P. from twhirl
Great Job - Matt
Just downloaded it! Sooo nice! - BlueMoonMultimedia from twhirl
Very nice. Thanks! - Mike Nally from twhirl
This could make Leo the hottest thing on the Internets!! Take that Kevin Rose... - Zach Scott
For those looking for a better icon for the app, check out http://lopagof.deviantart.com/art... - Jason Thompson
whoever created that app...I have a better icon for it...if he could email me at http://tinyurl.com/myemail - Matt
Is there a TWIT podcast app? - americanm
The app is fine, but I want to avoid the stikem chat but continue to view the feed... - James Fridley

I spend a lot of time on FF talking to myself. It's like I'm live-blogging my life.
Well, not my life so much as my frustration with computers. Especially computers that do stupid things. - James (@willia4)
I tend to join the conversation after everyone else has left the room. - Russellreno
I've started to think that FF is blogging for people with short attention spans (me included). - Trish R
Trish - FF is ideal for anyone who spends more than an hr each day on the intertubes. - Russellreno
Well, in my case it's because I have almost no idea what you're talking about. ;) (Okay, to be completely honest I do have a general idea what you are talking about. But I'm not supposed to know computer things, because I'm leaving that knowledge base to you, right? ::cheeky grin:: - Bran Mydwynter
And that would definitely be me, Russellreno. Although I was just looking for that post about people having less face-to-face interaction with people because of the internet. It's getting frustrating to me to leave someone a voicemail to call me back and they email me instead. - Trish R
I don't even expect comments on most of the stuff I put up here. I just need to vent. And then I comment on my venting. And then I comment again. ;) Hence, I'm talking to myself. But I definitely wasn't doing the whole "No one comments on my FF posts! Nobody likes me!" thing. Honestly, most of what I post is pretty banal and insipid and I don't know why I have any subscribers to begin with. - James (@willia4)
Trish - I have to walk away from the monitor when someone calls. - Russellreno
Friend Feed or FireFox.....we need a better abriviation - Matt
Technically, I also spend a lot of time on FireFox talking to myself. :) Instead of RoR (Ruby on Rails), it's FFoFF. Which is nicely symmetrical. - James (@willia4)
Back when MozillaZine linked to nightly builds on their site, they would refer to Firefox as "Fx." I ended up adopting that abbreviation myself. - Jared Smith
That is SO awesome. Micro-dialoging with our inner thoughts ans sharing with others. That's what's happening in our minds the whole time, live-blogging. Or life-blogging. - John McElhenney 2.0
FFoFF here too! - John McElhenney 2.0

classic! I woke up this morning on Friday, July 11, excited to go to the Apple Store to buy my slice of heaven. I waited in line for 3 hours to get mine: white, 16 gigabytes for two-ninety-nine.
