We were just talking about Voltron at lunch yesterday. Who thinks the "car" Voltron was just as good as the "cat" one? My hypoth. is that there were just too many cars, and having 5 lions was just enough :) - Stu Andrews

Also, let us never forget (even though it's so slow and hard to watch now) Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. - Stu Andrews

I didn't care for Voltron as it was too formulaic...Which is odd as I liked the A-Team and GI Joe...But the whole, we are gonna throw the kitchen sink at the monster in every episode, but oh no, that won't kill it (except for that one episode that had TWO monsters)...we always have to take out the sword last...Why couldn't they just take out the sword first and be done with it! - Alex Scoble

Stu, I had both Voltrons (*cough*... still do *cough*)... agree, Vehicle had too many 'parts'. - Johnny Worthington

Great to see Voltron #1, but He-Man should be #2 :) - Kevin Buckstiegel from twhirl

Brian: Ahhh, 7 Zark 7, there's just not enough of his wisdom in this world today :) - Stu Andrews

Nobody mentions Burt Raccoon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... was it just a UK thing?

I never had Coleco as a kid, but a few years ago, had Coleco with the Atari 2600 adapter (http://www.geocities.com/djslack...), you could play both games on it, something you would never see (legally) in this day. - cmiper

resembles Intellivision with that remote control-looking controller. My uncle had one that he never let me, my siblings or my cousin touch. so tantalizing... - Kamilah Gill

I very much enjoyed this whole post and it's lovely comments. Leo, you're awesome. Heh - Lise

When I checked my "nearby" tweets in twinkle, my wife showed up... so I think if you have the location stuff turned on, then yeah... But as long as you're not tweeting with a twinkle other than your wife, then no problem! - James P. from twhirl

NASCAR is booooooorrrrrring! - Scott Wamsley

Smart move. Fastest growing sport in the country in terms of fans for a few years now. Plus the NASCAR season ends in November, so the timing is good for Obama and consumers. ;) - Kevin C. Tofel

The novelty/news value would give the 49 car some rare TV time. Usually it has to wreck to get on screen - Dave Pelland

NASCAR hardly fits in with the 'elitism' meme, which is also a good move. - Alexander Carlill

Carla, Yes! That is the one with the Planet of the Apes musical! - RAPatton

Fave Hartman quote - as Frank Sinatra to Billy Idol: "I got CHUNKS of guys like you comin' outta my STOOL!". - Steve Isaacs

Hulu has the News Radio, I watched every available episode! Great show. - Vox

So many to choose from, but his understated Frankenstein's monster with Tarzan (Jon Lovitz) and Tonto (Kevin Nealon) sketches are what stick out for me. "Fire bad! Arrrr! Fire bad!" - Michael W. May

Tomorrow doesn't work for me.... how about now? ;-) - Mike Wills

So you are goint go buy Yahoo? ;-) - Ansgar Wollnik from twhirl

I just called Loic and he wouldn't tell me. We'll tell his news, though, live on WorkFast.TV (since we go live every Friday right at 10 a.m.) at http://www.fastcompany.tv -- tomorrow's show will have Sanford Dickert on, who is a coworking guru in New York. - Robert Scoble

Looking forward to hearing about the announcement tomorrow! - Joe Dawson

Is this the seemsic support?! If so, I'm already using it (and luvin it) - Shivanand Velmurugan from twhirl

+1 @Armando - In collaboration with switchAbit, maybe. - Mohamed J

fun to see my friends trying to find out what the news is! - Loic Le Meur

anything related to the g-spot? I knew it. - Elliott Ng

ahahhh!! now I know!! seesmic are buying phreadz!! congrats!! great choice :) *j* - kosso

something w/ apple? - clarke thomas

you've figured out women because I need some help at the moment - BCK

here we go - i just got the reports from my man on the street in paris - it's seesmic integration into youtube - so you create a video in seesmic and it can be shared into youtube - tubemogul integration is another thought - but my man on the street couldn't confirm that one. - Allen Stern

Waiting:( - Igor Poltavskiy

i would use a loic endorsed twitter clone. btw loic why arn't you subscribed to me? duncan and scoble are! ;) - Tyler Gillies

could you change that PST time? It's already 11:30 AM Friday over here in Malaysia. I like to start the week-end before all of you:) - Benoit Octave

Hey Loic. 9.40 French time. You are French, come on... tell the world. - Ansgar Wollnik from twhirl

Buying FriendFeed? - Benedikt Koehler

My guess would either be live broadcasting (like qik) or an aquisition. - Nir Ben Yona from twhirl

couldn't make it work. is it supposed to work in the friendfeed window? - fbrunel

forget about what I just said, downloaded the wrong file - fbrunel

I just tried and the integration is great! it's faster to watch videos on Twhirl than on the Seesmic website. Do you plan to integrate video recording as well? - fbrunel

sweeet :) - Marco Sascha Sven Hoppe from twhirl

do the vids play in FF Twhirl? Can't see it - Dennis Howlett from twhirl

the download link is here http://snurl.com/2k6ov click on the Twhirl logo and add your Seesmic account - Loic Le Meur from twhirl

yes, video recording is within a few weeks - Loic Le Meur from twhirl

oh! I was hoping I would be able to play seesmic videos that are aggregated by FriendFeed too! Is that not yet possible or am I missing something? - Parth Awasthi from twhirl

You need an unreleased beta version of twhirl to use seesmic directly. Follow the link posted by Loic to get that version. - fbrunel

Seesmic just got 200% more usefull to me. Now I have a reason to actually start convincing my friends to use Seesmic. Hope you guys are working on some kind of text embed and not solely relying on Friendfeed to place text alongside video or something. Also, please PLEASE integrated all account windows into a single one, my entire second screen is now taken up with just Twhirl, its a bit... more... - Robert from twhirl

Thanks Robert, we are exactly doing all this! - Loic Le Meur from twhirl

+1 Robert. 1 window is better than 3. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

@fbrunel I upgraded to 0.8.2b via the Linc Loic had posted. I hope that is the correct version... - Parth Awasthi from twhirl

Something interesting I noticed: the default stream that Twhirl shows is your Seesmic friend stream. Its not the public feed, which is hidden underneath the world icon (i like that icon btw). This shows the focus has shifted to the twitter model, while for a long time it was centered around the public feed. This makes far more sense to me, so way to go. Time to start spreading the Seesmic love umungst the sysadmic crowd, let see how many people I can convince to use it :) - Robert from fftogo

worked perfectly... Seesmic + Twitter + Friendfeed in the same application... remind me to buy a biggest screen... :) - Steph

Is this vodka guy you're referring to? I don't seesmic from work. I saw this drama unfolding as I was going to bed. Lots of people saying "fuck" last night. End of days? - Michael Gaines from twhirl

why the heck do i miss all the drama or random crap that goes on? gah! - tracy apps from twhirl

We have jobs, Tracy :D - Michael Gaines from twhirl

ah yes, i forgot about that.. minor.. detail. someone dig up a direct link. i don't have the time/energy to search for this :-P - tracy apps from twhirl

I looked on Seesmic for the root of it and couldn't find it (you know, no SEARCH). Eric, linky? - Michael Gaines

Meh good grief, I'm still finding the parts - Eric Rice

Two things started at the same time last night: "FUCK U ALL" from vodkakid, and "who are these fuckers that need attention" from Doug (?). They both started last night around 12:30ish. They may be the root of it. There was also this mask kid. - Michael Gaines

he's shirtless, how can you go wrong with someone like that... he knows how to work the crowd! - Kevin Buckstiegel from twhirl

lol Kevin :) - Eric Rice

Oh yeah I was waiting for a video from the lulzsphere. Can you IMAGINE! - Eric Rice

At some point, the lulzsphere ain't gonna be some 'those digg people', they are gonna come and infiltrate and terrorize. Folks like Scoble etc are in no way prepared to handle that. Not at all. Everyone's definition of trolls and donnas and all that is WAY kindergarten at this stage. - Eric Rice

So to add a bit of positivity, buck up campers! Happiness comes from the inside! :D - Eric Rice

You're scaring me, Eric. Tracy, hold me. :D - Michael Gaines

Wow, thanks for the share, Dave. I'm deleting my account. This guy is right. Can't believe I've been so oblivious. - Aviv

My employer's browser is blocking your site? Hmnnnn? :) - Mathew A. Koeneker

the site in the link kills IE (and please don't tell me to use Firefox instead; I'm not on my "normal" machine) - Andrew Terry

For a service that's just getting started, FriendFeed's doing a great job. I know his points are mostly recommendations, but the blog post title is cynical link-bait. Given the thoughtful article content, he could have done better. - Edd Dumbill from twhirl

I like all of these suggestions except the "getsatisfaction" one...this is a small company, and there is no way they can be all over the place. In fact, company-customer interaction would most appropriately take place within friendfeed, perhaps in a room. I have never before heard of getsatisfaction.com - Zach Landes

great post from lars. agree in all and more comes in mind. - kosmar

Attention grabbing headline but good post, I like the rework of the black Friendfeed Widget with Fluid - Joe Dawson

"bad customer service" he must not be visiting the same FriendFeed I am; I think the "customer" (we aren't really customers are we?) service here rocks. - Benjamin Golub

Good suggestions. I'd take them more seriously without the sensationalist headline, though. - Tom Harrison

I like Lars' post, except he was way too harsh on the customer satisfaction bit. Bret and Paul are REALLY responsive and actively engaged in FF development and improving their product based on *customer* feedback, that's why they created the FriendFeed Feedback room. So Lars just doesn't get FF yet. However, the rest of his feature requests / improvements are really good. I especially like # 2 in his list. Not bad. - Susan Beebe

@Andrew the link works find in Safari and Firefox .. the reason it stalls in IE is because of a "doc" rewrite back to the page page. I did a google on the error given and this is a known bug in IE7 - Steven Hodson

@Tom I didn't like the headline myself - smacked of linkbait more than anything else - Steven Hodson

Yes the LINK BAIT was super lame and annoying... don't insult your readers.... gees. - Susan Beebe

#1, irrelevant if you are not using an RSS reader. RSS is dead. #2 I don't mind fragmentation. #3 recommended contacts could definitely be improved. #4 agreed. #5 Facebook is irrelevant, #6 small team better spent working on customer service here than at getsatisfaction. #7 nah, maybe down the road, better to build a plug in to handle comments on Blogger (at least in my biased opinion). - Thomas Hawk

@Thomas I would love to see a comments plugin for Blogger! - Joe Dawson

@Thomas Hawk - excuse me? how do you see RSS as being dead? That's a fairly big limg you're hanging yourself out on there - Steven Hodson

Steven, it's dead to me. I abandoned my RSS reader when I found FriendFeed a far better use of my time for finding interesting content on the internet. Social filters beat the random mess I previously used called RSS hands down. I don't need RSS feeds out of FF. - Thomas Hawk

Joe, so would Louis Gray and I. A plug in to allow FF to become the default commenting system for Blogger blogs would be slick. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas, do you want FriendFeed comments on Blogger? I've got them running right now. See: http://tinyurl.com/58hqn5 - Louis Gray

I think what's most awful about this post is that he didn't even put ads on the page. What's the point of blog trolling if you're not going to make money from it? Needs to read my sure-fire strategy to get rich quick at blogging: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Mark Trapp

Thomas, with FF as the default commenting system on Blogger, only folks with a FF account will be able to comment. - Dewald Pretorius

Interesting. - Alex Hammer

@Dewald. Good, maybe it will encourage more of them to sign up for FF ;) - Thomas Hawk

just installed Pat Hawk's Blogger comments FF plug in by the way. Seems to be working well so far. Wish it included a link back to the FF post directly, but other than that it's pretty damn awesome, thanks Louis! - Thomas Hawk

I can only think FF will improve... and far more quickly than Twitter. - Bill Sodeman

@Thomas Do you follow any blogs regularly? RSS in a sidebar is a much easier way to follow someone and make sure you havent missed any of their posts than trying to find their name in your friendfeed friends list - at least I think so. - Zach Landes

By the way...check out my number one friendfeed feature suggestion at my blog, I think everyone will agree it's a must have: http://snipurl.com/2jgrb - Zach Landes

Zach, I used to use Google Reader and Newsgator before that and Bloglines before that. I've used RSS for many years. The fact of the matter is that an RSS reader quickly clogs up with boring stuff. On FF the best of blog posts get promoted and even if your favorite blogger isn't on FF you can add their blog as an "imaginary friend" FF is far superior to any RSS reader I've ever used. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas, why does it get clogged up? Perhaps you're using the wrong reader. Not fair to blame it on RSS, it's the software designers that did this to you, not RSS. - Dave Winer

Dave FF is a far better social filter a certain type of almost AI if you will that no RSS reader that I'm aware of incorporates. I've used many different RSS readers though. They are one dimensional. FF is two dimensional. You can read any RSS feed inside of FF. No need for any other outside reader. I still have an account on Google Reader, I just never go there anymore. - Thomas Hawk

@Dave. Hide is enormously helpful in getting through the clogs. The main reason my RSS reader gets clogged up is because even the best bloggers (myself included) mostly blog about uninteresting things. Despite their ability to serve me something super interesting one out of ten posts. FF gives you the "best" of the bloggers that you love to follow. - Thomas Hawk

Well I know a thing or two about RSS readers and I've talked with hundreds of users, and I recognize your concerns, you've been using RSS readers that think RSS is email and RSS is not email. FF is the first reader you've used that doesn't. However Thomas, there are other readers that don't think it's email, and work much better. I'm not trying to sell you something, or argue, just wanted to state an opposing viewpoint, since this is a thread I started. Peace. - Dave Winer

The article is wrong on multiple accounts. For instance, RSS feeds are available for nearly all pages. - Mike Reynolds

Dave, is there any RSS reader that filters and recommends via a social network as powerfully as FriendFeed? And if not, and if the natural filtering that FF provides is your thing, maybe FF is the best RSS reader of all? - Thomas Hawk

First of all, thank you Dave for linking it and sorry for the sensationalist title, I will not do it again. I would like to comment on some of the points mentioned here in the discussion: #1 no feeds for summaries: at the time of writing my article, it was not there yet, now we have the feature, but if you subscribe to the feed, you will see that it is not really useful as long as all comments are in one line and as long as the images for service icons are missing. - Lars Trieloff

Regarding #6, bad customer support: you can use FriendFeed rooms for customer support, but it is not the best tool for it. getsatisfaction offers a good tool (that allows you to track status of your suggestions, instead of scrolling out of mind), and there are already people asking questions and waiting for support. I've been also subscribed to the FriendFeed google group and have not been impressed either. Relying purely on social media for support, means the biggest attention grabber wins (today it's me) - Lars Trieloff
