anyone else w/a new macbook pro having issues clicking? sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
chantelle, Andrew Smith, Leo Laporte and mjc liked this
Yes! Actually haven't run into it with single-clicking, but I have with double-clicking.
- John Wang
I find that clicking with my thumb, the way I did on previous MacBooks, is rather unreliable on the new model.
- Nathan Henderson
I tried it in a mac store... it works
- Ben
Yea, same problem here, Nathan
- Kevin Rose
Nope but I am a "tap" guy...no clicking for me - have tap turned on.
- Kamath (नमः)
Actually, now that you mention it, yes. It seems especially true with buttons, but maybe I just notice it more. I use tap a lot, though.

I have the new MacBook and mine seems to be working fine. The only issue I am coming across is picking up good wireless signals and staying connected. Are you having this issue?
- Luke
No problems at all. I use the new trackpad the exact same way i used the old one. Thumb at bottom to click.

I jet hope they don't launch a 32gb or higher iPhone. Then I will be sorry I didn't wait. :(
- Jon Price
@Jon I have it form a reliable source that they are a ways from having a 32GB or higher iPhone. It has to do with how much room is available within the chassis of the iPhone. With the extra things required for cellphone their isn't enough room available for the two flash ram chips needed for 32GB.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
New displays are long overdue
- Andrew Leyden
I'll upgrade to the iPhone 3G when they have a 32GB model and official support for tethering. Otherwise, I'll wait for the next generation which will hopefully have better battery life.
- Rick Huizinga
@Rick I was wanting to wait until a 32GB. But, I don't think it will happen for a couple more years. Plus the battery will have to be improved greatly before I could use it as my iPod and phone.

FriendFeed request of the evening: It would be *awesome* to integrate "Likes" as endorsements on social sites. As in if I like a Reddit story on FF, it should upvote on Reddit. Or on Digg. Or on SU. Cool idea, eh? :)
Ronald, Eduard Blacquière, Ruben Llibre and 17 other people liked this
it's a cool idea, but I hope they don't do it. FriendFeed will be consumed by bloggers looking for traffic. I think that has a bad net effect.
- Robert Seidman
Good point. There are always ways to abuse the system. :(
- Tamar Weinberg
How about granting this right for established FFeres? Trust reward system?
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
That's actually a better idea. I see a few people who just use FF to establish their presence (and score their username before someone else does) but they never engage, which was a gripe of mine earlier this week. Active engagement should be rewarded. Just liking things (without commenting) might be overkill. The middle ground would make more sense and I think it can still be purely democratic (as to who can participate).
- Tamar Weinberg
I'd just like to figure out how to squirt RSS into a room...

even if they can't be fully integrated, support to Digg, vote etc would be ideal. There's no reason why it couldn't be done for Digg, they have a fairly liberal and open API
- Duncan Riley
@Duncan - AFAIK the Digg api is read only. I'm pretty sure that it is.
- Yuvi

Obviously the other site would have to support voting in its API. This could be very powerful, but the question is how to prove a human is voting when all it takes is an API call.

- embee

from twhirl
tamar: sorry was busy, same basic reason that robert mentioned above, ff will just become yet another traffic boasting platform to game and the noise will make it unusable - today ff is a great presence aggregation tool (i subscribe to you and all your services) plus a good follow on communication mechanism (this thread) - like's don't mean that much and that's a good thing, not much to game - i really like the purity of focus from a start-up perspective that the ff team has kept to
- mike "glemak" dunn
tamar: one more thing, the /friendfeed-feedback room is the best place to leave suggestions for the ff team regarding suggestions or bugs - i've reshared this thread there so others who like to see and comment on these sorts of things can participate :)
- mike "glemak" dunn
You certainly have legitimate concerns. It may work to entertain a possible democratic way of getting trusted individuals whose votes would actually weigh something, whereas others (who are here for the sheer reason of abuse) don't. I guess that it's wishful thinking, though.
- Tamar Weinberg
Tamar -- as a startup, I don't think FriendFeed should have entertaining "a democratic way of getting trusted individuals" on its radar. "It seems easily doable", is much easier in theory than in practice. it gets very complex, very fast and figuring it out and becomes a distraction that takes away from creating the best aggregation/social information service. I'm not just a little against it at this juncture, but very, very opposed to them even thinking about this : )

a pull down menu for all types of bookmarks, votes and shares would be great and would save a lot of time for people. ...and what the hell is wrong with bloggers looking for traffic. aren't we all trying to speak out?

In addition to the gaming abuse, Noah, what you describe is exactly the reason why I'm against it. Everyone will quite naturally want to use it as a time saver to drive traffic to their websites. That would become the primary usage of FriendFeed. I understand that some wouldn't mind this at all, but believe many would.

they should be taking the money they have and investing it in a business. instead they always invest it in real estate or some trust fund. if you don't invest in a family business then you ride the market. in the 80's we were rich till they lost it all in the 90s. then they inherited more recently and they are about to invest that away somewhere.

More than "using us" I think is a matter of co-evolution. There's a concept called "cognitive prostheses" that may shed some light about it. If you can find juan Ignacio Pozo's "Humana Mente", there's a section dealing with that (including human-computer interaction). I'm not sure if there's an English translation of it, but a quick search turned some relevant results.

"In the past few weeks Plurk has released a number of updates in preparation for its upcoming API launch. Improvements include, a new customizable sidebar widget, new starter verbs such as “wonders” and “needs,” a cleaner “All Plurks,” and “My Plurks” navigation, along with a custom search feature. Plurk has even enhanced their competitive ranking system, also known as “Karma” to make the algorithm more fair and balanced."

One of the most stupid things about Plurk is "karma."
- Louie
Louie, I find it interesting about Karma .. Isn't it ?
- Hisham هشام
I don't like it because it promotes people spamming themselves just to raise their "karma" points. And having to have certain "karma" levels to change user settings = lame. Let me use the site how I want.
- Louie
Like any other social network, it's all about who you follow. None of my friends spam for karma.
- Bwana ☠
Me too , It really depends on your friends and about me I'm now so close to Plurk Nirvana and I wasn't spamming :)
- Hisham هشام
You don't understand what I'm saying about spamming. Karma presents a situation where people post for the sake of posting, just to raise their levels. While there are users who do quality posts, karma makes the global pool more diluted, with people wanting to do their xx updates a day to raise/maintain their level.
- Louie
So it encourages using the system... what's wrong with that? Especially if they're valid posts. If they're not valid posts, then you shouldn't be following them
- Bwana ☠
To retweet @evanhamilton: Wait, so Plurk's hipsterfied premise is "use our product or you get a low rating on our product"? I feel used just writing that.
- Louie
I figure if you don't take the karma system seriously, you'll have a great time. If it becomes a vice, then, well, there's always Twitter and its follower count. Focus on the people and conversations, and it's a great system. Focus on the negative potential of the features and it becomes annoying....at least for me.
- Bwana ☠
Twitter follower count = (lame) popularity contest. Plurk karma = doggy treats. Not the same. I've been using Plurk for a while, usually when I'm most bored. Their karma scheme just bugs me. I am but a lowly disobedient (headless) pet though.
- Louie
Plurk = DO NOT WANT. that dyslexic timeline! it bugs the crap out of me.. WHY does it update R -> L????????
- Mona Nomura
In my mind, they're both popularity contests, which is probably why it doesn't bother me. The bells and whistles of Karma get old fast and when they do, that's when it becomes valuable.
- Bwana ☠
Plurk's timeline is just retarded. It's horizontal...ok, but then it's R->L? It's all scrolly and slick-looking, but I have to click stuff to update? New "plurks" are just scattered haphazardly about my screen. It just makes me somewhat nauseous :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Ya try following Tweeters that live in the SF bay area. I didn't know anything so I followed who everyone else followed. What a nightmare. Every two minutes "I'm at X and X event. Just saw Kevin rose" "@xyz, i'm over at the bar" "At the xxx event, spotted bla bla bla" UGH do.not.want.
- Mona Nomura
Once you use Plurk enough, karma isn't an important factor anymore. If you don't like other people spamming your timeline, you can either block them or mute Plurks that are of no interest to you. Personally, I found that I get to know people better on Plurk than on Twitter - it's more informal and it encourages conversation. But again - who you follow defines the kind of experience you get (same as with Twitter).

New Twitter Policy Towards "Aggressive Following" | TwitterStars.com - http://twitterstars.com/2008...
Noah David Simon, Czar, Geraldine Copywright and 2 other people liked this
"Posting links to Twitter is great and we encourage people to do so. However, spammers are posting links on a whole different scale and they’re doing something else we call Aggressive Following. This behavior entails following thousands of other accounts in the hope of reciprocation and it really peeves Twitter users because many of us are sensitive to our Follower count—we don’t want email notifications triggered by spammers and we don’t want to see our avatar on their profile page. Those who have created thousands of accounts, posted thousands of the same link, or aggressively followed way too many people, stand out like a sore thumb to our support team because they are usually blocked by hundreds or thousands of well behaved Twitter users. This simple feedback is one of the ways we detect and delete spam accounts but there are also preventative measures and more we could be doing."

Nice work with the status, I would like to see DailyMugshot introduced!
- Joe Dawson
Great! Just added identi.ca; configuring brightkite too.
- Parth Awasthi
Paul, given Identi.ca uses the Twitter API it would be nice if we could respond via Identi.ca in the same way you can with Tweets. I presume implementing it wouldn't be overly hard (where as Plurk of course is another matter)
- Duncan Riley
@Rahul FB status would be cool, but there is no public RSS feed. There is a feed, but it requires a key, which would require you to type in your username/password.
- Hao Chen
@Duncan +1. i was thinking the same thing
- Trent Olson
Quick poll. Who's using Plurk?
- Larry Kless
Any chance of adding Qype for us non-american review writers (aka non-yelpers)?
- Liron Tocker
Woohoo! Identi.ca!
- ◄ani625Ξ
Integrated identi.ca via RSS feed before. OK, now it's there but it's not that big deal to me.
- Ansgar Wollnik
Thanks for the identi.ca support ... Excellent work !
- Christian Farley
AWESOME!! Ok, I might be using Identi.ca again!!! Yippee! Thanks FF team!!
- Susan Beebe
Why are the updates called Dents, I'll Dent you later :S
- Joe Dawson
i love "status-blogging", but i still think that it destroys the flow of my friendfeed - i also blocked every twitter update from everyone here at ff...
- Dieter Schwarz
Yay, more services to add to my profile! ;P
- Aaron Myers
I am getting ready for Identi.ca Twitter going down the drain!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
seems like i need to go get my identi.ca id before its taken ...
- Raza
Fantabulous ;)
- Yung-Hui Lim
yay!!
- Sarah Perez
I am all set! Please follow me! http://identi.ca/igorthetroll
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
ahhh cool
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Now people can stop doing status updates with FF every time Twitter is down ;)
- Alejandro
great! but my username on identi.ca (9000) is not recognized by the subscription page. starts with a digit, yes — maybe that's the problem.

I work in print transitioning to online (professionally and academically) and the old guard has changed over the past few years from disinterest to fear. It is impossible to communicate the literacy gap across this apparent digital divide.

USA Today covers Twitter, http://tinyurl.com/5m6kqr Not quite a household name. Do your parents understand what Twitter is? mine don't.

what's with all the pop-ups in USA Today -- they are really desperate for revenue I guess
- Jorge Escobar
Not many people understand Twitter before diving in and experiencing it.
- jcunwired
I just ran a reader survey on pcmech.com and a decent percentage don't know what Twitter is yet. Of course, my audience isn't exactly the early adopter crowd on that site.
- David Risley
Mine do...after my Mom didn't hear from me in three weeks, she learned how to Twitter to follow me and get me to respond before she tweeted publicly!
- Lauren Vargas
Of all my tech developers friends, none use Twitter and never will. They just don't see the value.
- Jorge Escobar
My mom follows my Facebook status updates which come from Twitter
- Nick O'Neill
Any volunteers to explain Twitter to John McCain? ;-)
- Paul Denlinger
My mom kind of understands. She doesn't do Facebook or Twitter or anything, though. I think she thinks that we would think it's weird if she did. (Got that?)
- Jordan Hofker
My parents read about the San Diego Union Tribune (local paper) so now they definitely get it more than used to & they've expressed interest in following my tweets :)

I dare say "Most" people I've talked to in their upper 30s-40s have no clue either. Sad.. sad
- Lee Carlson
it's not about 'parents', it's about awareness of technology. fundamentally twitter, friendfeed, etc are still extremely edge tech
- Jeremy Toeman
I've had a lot of non-techie people come up to me lately and ask me about Twitter, including my parents. Not sure it's getting to the tipping point yet, but there sure is a lot more mainstream awareness of Twitter out there thanks to articles like this one.
- Frederic
You'd think USAToday.com would give twitter a direct link with http://twitter.com also how about linking to http://Zappos.com. They do have links to their own 'blogs' on twitter, but please... On the sidebar: "USATODAY.COM BLOGS ON TWITTER". I really like the video embed with an interview though. Very nice job.
- Steve Garfield
Nice puff piece for @biz @jack. Too bad Twitter has been so wonky the last few days.
- Barbara K. Baker
Can any of you explain Twitter in one line? The REAL definition?
- Jorge Escobar
I hate it when people like USA Today make those blanket generalizations.
- Francine Hardaway
Interesting point are that most of the negative comments on their site are by "anonymous or pseudonym" users.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Paul: Actually, John McCain is aware of Twitter.
- Alexander Carlill
Maybe the news article explains why Twitter seems constantly down today - the USA Today readers are trying it out.
- Sally Church
Wonder how the FriendFeed guys feel about being labeled a "third party app" for twitter?

My 82 year old mom uses twitter and told the world on ABC World News. Read her blog post about it. http://mymomsblog.blogspot.com/2008...

Heath ledger performance is one of the greatest ever captured on film. I'm not kidding... More evil than darth vadar. Amazing. Absurd.

wow. high praise, indeed. In 24 hours time, I'll be seeing for myself. Better than "Silence of the Lambs"?

I can't wait to see Dark Knight. Thanks for the feedback. I've heard Ledger was amazing, have seen just a few clips.
- Charlene Kingston
I can't wait to see Ledger's performance in the Dark Knight, read your email on IMAX going to make sure I view it there!
- Joe Dawson
"...one of the greatest performances ever captured" that's a grandiose statement. i haven't seen the film, so i can't pass judgment. (Usually), landmark cinematic performances take time to distill and mature like a fine wine. i'll check it out
- ray
Jason, he was awesome. Although I love Jack Nicholson, Heath was the perfect Joker. Just enough Devil inside.
- Fred Tabsharani
Saw it late Saturday night, Heath was amazing, and the movie itself was as close to perfect as it gets.
- Andreas Matern
The entire cast was stellar. Oldman, Freeman, Bale, Cain, Eckhart, Maggie...and of course Ledger. Freaking incredible - there were moments I just shook in fear of the man.

Nice addition. And, yeah, I'm testing, too.

I like it. :)

How is posting to twitter competing with twitter? :)

Thanks for the tip for using friend feed to reply to twitter.

I don't see it as competition really. i think they help each other.

Sounds good-thx for heads up

oh that's a nifty feature, somehow, i believe its encouraged
- Nathan Eckenrode
It would be nice if this would be extended to comments on blog posts, flickr images, etc.

That's one small step for friendfeed, one giant leap for twitterkind.

I wonder if Dave Winer can use this FF feature for Twitter posting without the AT sign.
- Bernie Goldbach
Oh yeah Dave I see your FF comment on Twitter but it took three months to come! LMAO
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
@Igor: Was wondering why FF was doing reruns from March.
- James Joyner
Maybe Dave is resurrecting old posts to keep things going?
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
In any case... still a great feature. Would be nice to be able to post directly to Twitter when adding a new message here...
