"Art, your post links to an expose of the guy behind ChrisitanChirp I did on my blog. I had to take it down because he made a threat of legal action. I don't think I was wrong about anything I said in that post; I had documentary evidence for everything. Nonetheless, since he charges tons of eager followers hundreds of dollars to learn his "Internet marketing secrets!!" he probably has deeper pockets than I, so I can't afford to take the chance that I would have to hire a lawyer.I've decided that the people who defend him and want to follow him probably deserve him."

[WELCOME TO FF-BG]: Firstly welcome to the new Beginner's room! Hopefully this room will be used by new users to find out and ask questions on how to use FriendFeed + by more experienced users to help out with the queries and to welcome the new users to the FriendFeed community.
If you have any queries on using FriendFeed start by checking the "guides" here: http://bit.ly/10vcK. If none help try searching the group as you may find it has already been answered:
- Kol Tregaskes
1. To do this type in one or more keywords, for example "filter", into the search box at the top of the screen. As you type a list will appear underneath the box. Before hitting Enter to start the search make sure "Search friendfeed-beginners for <keyword(s)>" is highlighted. Once you press Enter you will be presented with posts where the term or terms have been found in the title or a comment.
- Kol Tregaskes
2. If you find the list does not help you, press back on your browser or return to the group's home page here: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... and type in your question in the text box below the group's name and above the words "Add: Photos". This is the 'share box' and you will find these on most pages within FriendFeed.
- Kol Tregaskes
3. If you would like to add an image, such as a screenshot, click on the word "Photos" underneath the box and use the dialog to navigate to the image you wish to upload. Then either double-click on image file or highlight the file and click on the Open button. A progress bar will appear and once the image is uploaded it will be shown as a small thumbnail under your post.
- Kol Tregaskes
4. Once you're happy with your post press the "Post" button and you will see your post appear in the group just under the share box.
- Kol Tregaskes
Later on you'll hopefully get one or more comments to your post. These will apear under your question, to post your own comments:
- Kol Tregaskes
1. Click on the word "Comment" under your question.
- Kol Tregaskes
2. A new text box will appear at the bottom of the comments already posted. Type your comment in the box and press the "Post" button. This wil post your comment and it will appear at the bottom of the thread.
- Kol Tregaskes
I hope this gets you started, feel free to leave any feedback here. :-)

This will be very useful for a workshop I am doing in my HEI to introduce academic and support staff to the delights and benefits of 'using social media to inform and educate' - any further hints, tips or useful guides that anyone can point me to, would be very gratefully received ;-)

"At least Justin had the good sense to end the Chik-Fil-A prank while it was still funny and being enjoyed by the CFA employees. Apparently some teens in Utah lacked that good sense: http://m.apnews.com/ap..."
- Mark Traphagen
I remember when I first logged in to FriendFeed (I joined at the launch of the beta version, so my comments will relate to that). My first thought was "What the heck is this and what can I do with it?" I was already an active Facebook and Twitter user (as well as a blogger). Why did I need yet another social web service? In this post I and other FF for Beginners Guides will try to answer those questions.
- Mark Traphagen
DEFINITION: There are as many definitions of FF as there are users. In part that's because FF is so flexible and powerful, people use it for many different things. The "official" self-description of FF is "FriendFeed helps you discover and discuss interesting stuff that your friends and family find on the web." I would add another verb: "share." So in a nutshell, FF helps you SHARE-DISCOVER-DISCUSS. The unique power of FF is the way it allows you to blend and cross all three of those actions.
- Mark Traphagen
1. SHARE: FriendFeed allows you to post things from the Internet (or your own thoughts & ideas) that you want to share with others. You can do this manually by simply typing a post into the blank at the top of your Home page. OR automate what you share here by giving FriendFeed access to any of the other social web or bookmarking services you use (HOW TO: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...)
- Mark Traphagen
2. DISCOVER: Browse your Home page feed and any Subscriptions or Filters you have for a never-ending cascade of stuff others on FriendFeed have found fun/interesting/helpful. The more subscriptions you have, the faster that waterfall flows (feed pages in beta FF now update in real time). You can make anything you see show up in your own public feed by either adding a comment to it (see below) or clicking "like" under the topic.
- Mark Traphagen
3. DISCUSS: Here's where FF "one ups" other social web services: Virtually anything you see on FF can have a discussion attached to it. This begins when any user adds a comment to the post. You can join any discussion by clicking "comment" under the post description. TIP: To keep track of discussions in which you've participated, click the new "My Discussions" link in your Filters box. Discussed topics automatically rise to the top as new comments are added.
- Mark Traphagen
That's the basics, but there is SO much more power to FriendFeed! Browse or search the topics in this group for more ideas. Perhaps my fellow guides will add their own "What is FriendFeed?" definitions below.
- Mark Traphagen
I like this post, but would like it even better were it more concise, less chatty, more descriptive as to the differences between FF and some other, more widely talked-about social sites. Especially for those among us who thus far have abstained from joining by-and-large sophomoric "communities". [Typo? what typo].
- ianf ⌘
Thanks for the feedback, lanf. Typo corrected. This definition was "chatty" by design. My intention was to draw in those who, like myself at one time, feel overwhelmed by FriendFeed's seeming complexity. I wanted to create interest without being exhaustive, so I limited myself to the three things that are standout (to me) about FriendFeed. Sure, other social web locations allow you to "share, discover, & discuss," but the power of FF is the unique way it brings the three together.
- Mark Traphagen
Might be a good idea, though, to create a post here that describes specific differences between FF and other services. In the meantime, if you're interested in that subject, FF fanatic Robert Scoble has hosted many active discussions here on how FF differs from Twitter and Facebook in particular. If you browse this filter: http://beta.friendfeed.com/search... you'll find some of them.
- Mark Traphagen
I'll study it later, but for now made it into my own filter (as apparently there is no other way to share ready-mades among ourselves).
- ianf ⌘
Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciated it.
- timethief
Nice definition. I will add my voice for >4. BLOG, aggregate< .Please boost the blogging capabilities. That means, allow posting more text, allow some text formatting. Otherwise, this mixture you lay out here, is the success recipe for any social site out there - BOOKMARK, aggregate - IMPORT, aggregate - DISCUSS. I might add support for email sending via "em@emailaddress" in the post, and aggregation of discuss, where comments would also go to FB, Intense Debate, Disqus, or any other platform.
- Petr Buben
Kol: That's pretty neat. Wish it was shorter like wave.com or gwave.com (Google owns gwave.com anyway) or something.
- Nick Humphries
i think this @googlewave.com email address is a temporary thing during testing. after it goes live you should be able to just use it with your google account. at least that's what i think:)
- Taylan Aydınlı
if only you could bold an announcement in FF like you can in Wave :D [oh, and my username on Wave is the splendiforously original "adamlasnik"]
- Adam Lasnik
Guys, please read the title and the first comment. This is not a request for invites. This is for users who already have an account and want to share their account name. For invites see this thread: http://ff.im/91M9R

Blimey. I must be going mad, is it not clear that this is NOT an invite thread. For invites see here: http://ff.im/91M9R
- Kol Tregaskes
Not sure if anyone else woudl find it useful, i'm going to add a load of you as friends and create a wave just to try stuff out in. Feel free to remove yourself from the wave or use it as you feel. Also feel free to add anyone else you think might want to be in on it
- Jamie Vidamour
Shockingly, I am robdiana@googlewave.com

Kamilah, you are kamilah.gill. You can find this if you click on yourself in the Contacts sidebar. You address (like everyone) is shown there.
- Kol Tregaskes
Karoli: is that your google wave nick or are you sniffling? :)
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
I'm sniffling because I don't have a google wave nick. Despite two invites, there is still nothing in my inbox. I am not in with the in crowd. :(
- Karoli
Karoli -- It appears as if there's a batch of emails going out now. Keep checking.

"I envy the HP Envy's state-of-the-art NV circuitry which utilizes its built-in wireless capacity to generate an envy field extending up to 30 feet in all directions. The NV-generated field causes all within range to be unable to take their eyes off it. I was most impressed when I heard that it was field tested in a Starbucks where Justin ("I'm a Mac) Long was sipping a triple-double half-late mocha supreme. He immediately ripped the soul patch off his face, grabbed the tweed suit jacket off another patron, and went out and got a job."
- Mark Traphagen
"That a more reasoned response, Art, and if you're original post had been more like that, I probably wouldn't have even commented. Still trying to give Bell some benefit of the doubt (probably because I really like much of what he does and would take him over scratch 'n' belch Driscoll any day), (a) we don't know that he didn't bring Jesus into the discussion. This is a newspaper report, and you can bet whatever he said was edited down. (b) If he didn't mention the Christ connection, it could be because he was either (i) emphasizing the things that most evangelicals leave out or (ii) was addressing his entry points into finding common ground and communication with the generation he reaches out to (and talking about Jesus would come once those doors were open)."
- Mark Traphagen
"I'm going to be contrarian here (surprise!). - Actually is a surprise, because I don't often disagree with you , Art, but in this case I do. I find Bell and his approach refreshing. I don't think he is trying to deny the forgiveness of sins aspect of the gospel, but he is rejecting the typical evangelcialism that talks only of forgiveness of sins. Unfortunately, Art my dear friend, you sound still captive to that mischaracterization of the gospel when you say that things like "a belief that we together can actually work for change in the world, caring for the environment, extending to the poor generosity and kindness, a hopeful outlook" are "leaving out the gospel" when the gospel presented in the NT is not know apart from those sorts of things. There are far, far more verses in the NT that talk about love and doing good to others as what distinguishes a person under the "good news" than there are about praying a prayer to ask Jesus into your heart."
- Mark Traphagen
"elnwood:With all due respect, I don't understand you're requiring me to be boxed into an all-or-nothing approach when it comes to the Bible when we don't treat any other ancient compilation that way. I'm weighing evidence, as we always should in a careful approach to anything we can't be certain about. Some things have more evidence one way, some another. Because I come to a conclusion about one thing based on the evidence for that one thing it does not follow that I am bound to place a similar conclusion on all other things.Schleiermacher is (or was!) free to his own view of the evidence. Unlike him, I don't rule out the possibility of the miraculous unless there is sufficient evidence to outlaw it. I do not see "it's never happened elsewhere" as that kind of evidence (although it should lead to a healthy skepticism). For me, there is enough circumstantial evidence (see NT Wright as Nick suggested) around the resurrection of Jesus to make it plausible for me to place a faith..."
- Mark Traphagen
"elnwood:Nick gave above the reply that I would make for the most part (concerning the non-falsifiable nature of the resurrection of Jesus Christ vs. the demonstrably falsifiable idea of humankind starting from one suddenly appearing, fully-formed homo sapien a few thousand years ago.) The resurrection as a historical event I receive by faith. (I would add to Nick's faith affirmation that my faith is bolstered by the so-called evidences of the resurrection, although I don't see them as conclusively proving it.) The point is that so far there has been no convincing scientific or historical evidence (e.g., the remains of Christ's body being found) that would militate against my faith in the event. In other words, I don't see my leaning toward a non-historical Adam as necessitating that I will inevitably doubt that anything in the Bible is historical. Ancient records don't work that way and the Bible is no different. Every long-term history from the ancient world contains things that are..."
- Mark Traphagen
"And might I add t what Nick has said that one's presuppositions about Scripture need not be as "one way or the other" as you laid out, Horace. Some of us have found a third way of viewing Scripture that maintains it as God's revelation to us while not forcing it into an "either believe the Bible or science" false dichotomy. In short, our reading allows that Paul could have been wrong about historical details but still very correct in theological truth."
- Mark Traphagen
"Thanks for the Woven Hand video. I’ll definitely have to get me some of their music. What is that he’s playing? A banjolin? I want one!"
- Mark Traphagen
"Just interjecting an off-hand thought here....Obviously some of us insist on a "one [literal] man" Adam because of Paul's one-to-one correspondence with the "one [literal] man" Jesus Christ in Romans 5.What if we think of Jesus Christ not as the literal "one man," (though certainly not at all denying that he was that) but as the "one man" Israel. As Israel was formed to collectively represent all mankind (and yet failed to bring redemption), so the New Israel represents all mankind (and does not fail). Follow me here....so could not Adam be the "one man" that was all of the earliest human beings, who as they became human also displayed the capacity to reject and rebell against their creator?Not saying that's what Paul had in mind, but then I'm not really concerned with what Paul had in mind; I'm searching for the theological truth in what he said, while I'm trying to reconcile it with the "two naked people in a garden fooling around with fruit trees and talking snakes a few thousand..."
- Mark Traphagen
"pduggie:Sure you can link that one concept of deuteronomistic theology to the Job story, but the overwhelming thrust of the deuteronomistic strain in the OT is "do good > be blessed; do bad > be cursed." That is the very heart of deuteronomistic theology. The book of Job raises the obvious question that comes up in the face of such a simple theological formula: Then why do bad things happen to good people. Job's friends echo to him the party line: bad things are happening to you so you <i>must</i> have done something bad. In the end, the God character in the book tells them they're full of crap and don't know what they're talking about. As to your second comment, can you rephrase? I'm not catching your problem. What does "yep, those 2 ideas are all kinds of different" have reference to?"
- Mark Traphagen
"Horace,Just to pick a nit...in reality, Adam is mentioned surprisingly very little in the rest of the Bible. Hardly at all in the rest of the OT (outside of genealogies). Most of the non-genealogical references in the OT are ambiguos, and almost certainly to be translated as the generic "man" or "mankind" rather than as a reference to the person introduced early in Genesis.In fact, one of the startling things about the OT if you stop to think about it is, given the huge importance Reformed theology places on Adam and the fall, they are hardly of any concern to the OT writers."
- Mark Traphagen
"David, That really has possibilities. It’s been pointed out before that Job’s three friends seem to be spouting the Deuteronomistic party line, and we all know they get their come-uppance at the end of the book. Which raises some interesting questions for those who get their panties in a twist when biblical scholars like Peter Enns insist that the Old Testament has diverse theologies. If God is the author of the theology in the Deuteronomistic tradition, why does he smack it down in Job?"
- Mark Traphagen
"To set the record straight on Wright, JT lifted the quote he used in the opening post from Wright’s Romans commentary out of its context. Readers should go read pp. 525-26 to see what I mean. In the full context, Wright: 1) tries to steer readers of Romans away from such questions (of the historicity of Adam); 2) affirms that Paul probably believed in a literal Adam and Eve, etc.; 3) asserts, with very good reason given what Philo does with the early chapters of Genesis, that Paul would have been aware of possible “mythological” dimensions to the story; 4) urges against consigning the Adam and Eve story to the dustbin of “mythology” (in a UK and European context of that term); 5) and then goes on to offer a construal of Paul’s point about Adam and the primal sin and the entry of death that would remain valid regardless of the position one might take on human evolution and Adam and Eve."
- Mark Traphagen
"Meade:Your last point is the crucial thing being missed by those piling on condemnation of Longman on other blogs: Longman did not endorse one view or the other; he merely insinuated that the text leaves open a range of possibilities."
- Mark Traphagen
"Nathan, I’m not going to get sidetracked into debates about male headship, but let me address your main challenge. I don’t accept that it is a necessary reading of the passages in question that Jesus’ and Paul’s arguments were grounded in the historicity of those people. That is not to say that they didn’t believe in Adam’s historicity; I think they probably did. It’s just to say that I’m not persuaded that the theological points they were making necessarily stand or fall on the historicity of Adam."
- Mark Traphagen
"Justin, My response to that argument flow is already posted in response to your comment on Jeremy Pierce’s blog, which he linked in his comment above."
- Mark Traphagen
"Many people have cast their Bibles into volcanoes and become agnostic, because of such rigid insistence that the Bible only can and must be read in such a way. They start reading outside the closed and very protected walls of fundamentalism and encounter too much cognitive dissonance to continue to hold the faith. That’s why some of us are committed to a third way that maintains Christian faith while accepting the Bible’s humanity."
- Mark Traphagen
"Thanks, pduggie. Unlike the first two replies to my comment above, you at least are seeking to pursue a dialog, and seeking to understand me and my ilk on our own terms (even if you ultimately disagree with us) rather than on the terms of a corner others have already painted us into. Your statement in quotes is a very good one, and very much encapsulates what my friends and I struggle with every day. I know some in this thread sneer when they hear Longman or us say we “struggle.” All I can say to that is it must be very comforting to never struggle with anything in the Bible. It certainly is “safe.” What hurts most in the criticisms above is the assumption (on the part of some) that people like me have arrived at where we’re at out of some sort of laziness or peer pressure or mere accommodation (going along to get along just to reduce social embarrassment or to be accepted by the “in” crowd). Certainly those are very human tendencies that I need to be watchful for, but so do all of..."
- Mark Traphagen
"The presumption of many commentators here is that if we allow any reading of the early chapters of Genesis other than a literal-historical one, then all of the rest of the Bible falls apart, particularly Paul’s key passage of Romans 5. A secondary presumption is that any reading other than the literal-historical automatically and inexorably leads one to “liberalism.” Unfortunately for both of those assumptions, there are a growing number of us Evangelicals who refuse to fit your mold, no matter how loudly and forcefully you consign us there. We do not insist upon the early chapters of Genesis being read literally-historically. We have accepted the overwhelming evidence for life emerging over long periods of time by the process of evolution, and yet we continue to believe that human beings are imago dei; that we all have a sin nature; that our sin needs atonement, forgiveness, and cleansing that can only be provided in the (historical)life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth,..."
- Mark Traphagen
"In Seow's lecture in Enns's Books of Poetry and Wisdom class at WTS, as I recall it, he favors the theory that the oldest versions of the Job story did not have the prologue (of God's council in heaven) or the epilogue (of God's restoring Job's wealth), that these bookends were added later to try to give the story some "backstory" and a comforting happy ending.Read without those additions (if they are that), the Job story becomes a much more profound, very human poem of our very human experience: bad stuff happens to good people, philosopher-theologians try to come up with reasons, but in the end, nobody knows why it's all so f*cked up."
- Mark Traphagen
and happy rosh hashanah to all the jews out there
- Spill Crew
Its an honor louis.. so louis tell us what you think will come of this friendfeed platform.. is it going by the way side or blowing up?
- Jason Pollock
Chat more active, more "equal ground" in nature. So what has been picqueing your interest lately, Jason et al?
- Steve Woods
Louis: if facebook was smart they would get everyone to microblog on friendfeed and kill twitter that way.
- Jason Pollock
I think FriendFeed as a dedicated site is seeing slowed traffic as people don't have great answers. But I also believe the platform (as you put it) is going to be part of a much larger network.
- Louis Gray
Thank you, Spill Crew. L'Shana Tova Tik'Tevu
- Steve Woods
SPill crew: my film isnt out yet.. stay tuned for more info on that.
- Jason Pollock
ok will do, name is russ over here, work with spill.com
- Spill Crew
I believe Facebook is smart. I think they are going to do things we haven't thought of yet, Jason. But we who have been using FriendFeed are going to be a step ahead.
- Louis Gray
Learning how to navigate here (newbie) thanks for inviting me Jason :)
- snysctt
Louis: its too bad to see friendfeed slow down like that.. it is so much more technologically advanced than any other site
- Jason Pollock
I agree, that if FaceBook would allow for us to Friendfeed in a column of the main page, it would go a long way to Twitter's demise...
- Steve Woods
spill.com = movie review site...so good luck with the movie..trailer looked great
- Spill Crew
Louis: have u tried THREADSY yet? what are your thoughts? which twitter client do u prefer? i like seesmic.
- Jason Pollock
The ability to have a microblog and option to lend permanence to certain bits in the regular status update would do it...
- Steve Woods
spill: COOL! we gotta get a review up on your site when my film comes out.
- Jason Pollock
I just tweeted about this chat in hopes that at least some of my (checks Twitter) almost 910 followers can join in.
- Dennis Jernberg
Jason, I've been an aggressive pusher of Friendfeed for almost two years now, and with good reason. I like the team and think they had to make the right choice for them and for the Web in general. I am happy that we can still use it.
- Louis Gray
I have not yet been impressed with Threadsy. As for Twitter clients, I use the standard Web often because it works with my bit.ly bookmark, but I do like Seesmic Web and Brizzly.
- Louis Gray
I am getting quite used to TweetDeck, which means I ought to consider moving on from it...
- Steve Woods
can you read more post than just 3 at a time?
- snysctt
HAPPY TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY ARGGGHHH YE MATEYS
- Spill Crew
Louis: I understand why they sold it.. facebook is a behemoth now.
- Jason Pollock
TweetDeck is a great product as well. It was the pioneer for groups, search, etc.
- Louis Gray
On TV: I'll watch it more when I get a TV card for my Dell and plug in the cable. Then I can watch it and tweet/FF at the same time. ;)
- Dennis Jernberg
Has anyone tried THREADSY? id love to hear your comments on that.
- Jason Pollock
I have been using Brizzly, and I like it.
- Matt G
I've seen a few sites like that. Will give Brizzly a try, Louis. Thanks! I don't like to settle in too much with any program.
- Steve Woods
Thanks for inviting me Jason... don't know if you saw that earlier... this moves faster than I can read... lol.
- snysctt
I don't think it's so much TV that's dying as the MSM and push media in general. YouTube, Hulu etc. are beginning to cut into its viewership, plus live sites like USTREAM.
- Dennis Jernberg
As soon as the on-demand programming is upgraded to include live Internet streaming, it will be over for television, Jason...
- Steve Woods
HEY KIM it was you I was talking about sinbad with right?
- Spill Crew
I have heard talk about tv's with twitter intergrated into them.
- Rob Madden
It is great to have you and Louis here, Jason. So much hands-on learning between the two of you, and your willingness to share what you know...
- Steve Woods
We're almost at 100 comments tonight! Everyone who is here please click LIKE on this thread PLEASE!:)
- Jason Pollock
You gotta give kanye credit for being a brilliant publicist.. he sure did keep his name in the news ALL WEEK!
- Jason Pollock
Just think, the ability to watch a Leno show, and see a feed alongside from your online friends, discussing it amongst each other...
- Steve Woods
whats up everybody. First timer here on friendfeed.
- Joseph Peterson
i would rather read the news on the web then watrch it on tv. I get more out of the news if i read it online then i do watching it on tv because they try jam too much into the half hr like CBS Evening News.
- Rob Madden
Jason: I remember that chat. The one that got crashed by that fake @Danny_DiVito (with an "i") under the FF name "Tanya".
- Dennis Jernberg
@_stevewoods, I think on-demand needs to expand to include such basics as NBC for free on their basic programming....long B4 they entertain the idea of internet streaming....
- Doris Jean Brown
A live show might even have a feedback that could be used to alter the programming as they go along...
- Steve Woods
Jason, if you didn't have social media, what would you do more of?
- Louis Gray
Woah! First time friendfeeder! welcome dude!
- Jason Pollock
I always like your live shows Jason. You keep stuff interesting and educational.
- snysctt
New here jst signed up for friendfeed...hope I am doing this right
- Sherry Thompson
from Android
for the record I liked it second. ...I think
- Joseph Peterson
hey jason why dont you do ustream live now?
- elenabeloff
That's another thought, Louis. What if books were online, with feeds and commentary from your friends who have also read the books to turn on and off when you wanted?
- Steve Woods
My best friend goes to college in Chicago.
- Rob Madden
Rob Madden, It took me quite awhile and interaction to get my follows. Had to delete hundreds over time who were bots or simply businesses...

I can't choose between The Matrix or Blade. Although, I actually learned things from The Matrix that changed how I think about stuff.

- CarePathway
Sorry... got a little busy there... and sorry Jason for using your stream as a launching board for the funniest game I've played. Something about beating Kanye down is fun... you know?
- iamkhayyam
actually, the latest Star Trek was right up there, too. I rarely want to see movies more than once but both of those got me.

Diane M: forgot about that one - and you're right
- Dan G. Druen, Jr.
Pardon me if I space out here. I'm watching Criminal Minds while I type lol
- Diane M
did anyone else hear about Kanye West interrupting Patrick Swayze's funeral?
- Doris Jean Brown
I loved The Natural because of the open willingness to engage with everybody that Redford's character exhibited, the promise of greatness from hard, persistent work...
- Steve Woods
Kirk: Wizard didn't stick to the book as much as Return did. All of Baum's Oz books were incredibly twisted, and Return showed it. Totally creepy.
- Diane M
Okay, have to run, get some sleep, phone calls and more tomorrow, plans, plans! Jason, wanted to say that I appreciate you taking the time to interact with all of us. Looking forward to more discussions in the future...
- Steve Woods

Robin Hood: Men In Tights... tight tights!

I couldn't get into Big Fish, watched it twice a few years ago
- Myrna Reed
Absolutely! Tim Burton has such amazing vision! A much wider understanding of what beauty really is. He doesn't live in a Barbi & Ken world...and for that I love him!
- Kimmy Sue
i introduced someone else to Big Fish last yr. They saw all other T Burton's. LOVED Big F! So much to look at in Big Fish. Also has 2 of my fav actors in it!
- Kirk
$JesseStay - let me guess.. you're going to let me finish right?

I think the point of #FF is to show off the people you like and introduce them to each other. Like having a bunch of people over to mingle
