Using the data collection website Daytum I recorded time (in minutes) and cost (in £ GBP) of all my interactions as a consumer. This included the odd five minutes for lunch every few days at my favourite salad stall on Goodge Street, to spending 45 minutes in Preston train station waiting for a connection. Yep, that's 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back. The data's not perfect of course (eg. it's not automated based on GPS), and I rounded up/down as appropriate so that I didn't completely lose my sanity. But it provides a fascinating insight into how I live my life as a consumer, and which brands steal my attention. What's more, with only a limited time of existence on this planet, it shows me whether I'm spending my time and money wisely as a consumer. And having invoiced the companies that claim my attention, I'll soon find out how much they respect the time I spend with their brand.

Funny thing is, if you posted about this on Facebook, 99.9999% of it's users would go "huh, what's FriendFeed anyway?"
- Richard Matthias
It almost seemed inevitable since Facebook has been copying so much of Friendfeed in recent months. It's good for the founders of FF and may benefit those of us who use both on a regular basis. Maybe they'll just leave FF alone?
- Kenley Neufeld
someone tell me what they will do with it? Nothing maybe? Kill it, maybe?

Originally posted this to your other FF/FB post before you astarted this one: I don't see the point of Facebook acquiring FriendFeed. They are pretty much identical services (well, FF represents just the News Feed portion of Facebook) I don't see how they can incorporate FriendFeed into Facebook. If they really did buy it, then I see this as them going for programming talent more so...

I think this is more of a "send the friendfeed traffic to facebook" than any kind of technical leverage. My biggest concern here: in order to exchange dialogue with people on facebook I need to be friends with them vs. being able to do it on friendfeed without having to friend them up. I find this valuable as there may be a topic or 5 that I want to engage with user "X" on, but I don't...

I am disappointed by this news... I don't like Facebook at all... And I'm afraid they will just kill FriendFeed with their awful cluttered interface...

It depends on how they integrate it. Did they buy it for the search engine, or did they buy it as a potential for extending the reach of Facebook into real time conversations? It's all about the life stream now right? So probably Facebook's attempt to stake a claim there.

Facebook has ZERO respect for users' wishes... Friendfeed is incompatible with that. Friendfeed will be going away. :( Their blog post says as much: "FriendFeed.com will continue to operate normally **for the time being**. We're still figuring out our longer-term plans for the product"
- tollie williams
Ideally, FB will leave FF to do the sweet innovating they are doing and just take the awesome features and put them into FB

- Bart
Not happy about this. I use Facebook, but don't like it. It reminds me of AOL from 10 years ago.
- David Sharpe
I agree that I don't want FB to mess up FF, but this will also give FF a higher profile and bring in many more users...which we may or may not like, judging by what happened on Twitter. I hope FF doesn't die off like Jaiku because I really think FF offers a more valuable and useful interface.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
One thing to consider is this: If we have "trusted" the FriendFeed people not to screw things up, hopefully we can trust them to make sure they're still in control in the terms of the acquisition.

This is very good for FriendFeed as long as Facebook doesn't corrupt them. I would have preferred to see Google buy FF but I know with their focus on Wave I don't think it would have been a good fit. I like the Facebook platform, but they have done too many shady things in the past for me to trust them.

FriendFeed is very good, a better way to use Twitter & etc. Knowing this, I still rarely use FF. Not going to start using Facebook more.
- Nicole
Actually, this could be death for Twitter when you think about it. The people I know who are in FB are not likely to add TWO more nets to their lifestream. FriendFeed makes more sense for them. Maybe Twitter just stays as the dumb pipe it's become for many of us here.
- Thom Kennon
Echoing what others have said - My guess: Facebook will get better, Friendfeed will get worse, Twitter will matter a lot less.

The main reason why I came to FF was because when I tried to treat FB the same as FF, i was talking to a wall. At least people interact here. At FB, it's all about the cheesy games/apps.
- Matthew Horton
from iPhone
Just like most acquisitions, it could be good and it could be bad. I trust that FriendFeed will live on as FriendFeed, only sharing their tech with Facebook. Possibly more integration between the two sites. If you were FF/FB, what would you do?
- Nick Humphries
Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook are three entirely different animals. Facebook eats Friendfeed and poops out little bits of content that once belonged to us. Twitter continues to thrive as the broadcast conversation-wannabe that it always was.
- jcunwired
Nick - think again. Its going to go away - read the tea leaves in this statement: "Your data will not go away any time in the near term future - we are committed to our users" - Bret Taylor in this post https://friendfeed.com/friendf...
- jcunwired
Please no. I don't like FaceBook...
- Svartling
Facebook must want real time soc-net search badly...
- martin smith
The biggest thing here, at least within the Twitter context, is that this merger will combine 'verified' identity (in terms of Facebook user ID being slightly more 'real' than Twitter) with real time status updates.
- Dan Patterson
I'm looking forward to what this brings to Facebook. I have enjoyed both networks but wondered when FriendFeed/Facebook would face-off and/or be absorbed by the other. I think FriendFeed's tech will improve the Facebook experience.
- Jacob Sloan
FriendFeed + Twitter = disruptive. FriendFeed + Facebook = one more app for FB . Facebookers dont know the power of FriendFeed. I agree with : "" So FB failed to buy Twitter, - so they buy FF which is just a UI for twitter.. - Nick Halstead ""
- Rocky
Most likely scenario is Facebook assimilates the FriendFeed guys, has them work on improving Facebook newsfeed/realtime/status, and lets FriendFeed die a slow unmaintained death.
- Richard Akerman
Well, my friends on FB doesn't give a damn about sharing links, news, pics, vids etc. So I'm not sure how I will use FB+FF now. I don't think FriendFeed will exist, just implemented in Facebook. The name FriendFeed will die. And: on FB you don't want the whole world to see everything you're doing, just your friends. And it will stay this way. So the question is: Who will build the new FriendFeed?
- Patrik Johansson
Do this mean, by the way, that we (the FriendFeed users) should start to connect with each other on FB? How will they like that? People who get's 2-3 maybe 4000 connections?
- Patrik Johansson
Robert, it means all the time you invested building friends lists and updates there will go to Facebook :-)
- Loic Le Meur
could someone start to develop a Frienfeed clon , please ? ASAP !
- Rocky
Seems bloody terrible from this users perspective. Good for Friendfeed the company though.
- Quasar
Given Facebook's past, this could be really bad. Given FriendFeed's past, this could be really good. No real way to speculate without talking to the FF crew.

It's a good time to sell to Facebook, cause Google Wave is imminent and is going to destroy all of Facebook, Twitter and FriendFeed. I think FriendFeed employees might even go back to Google eventually as soon as their contracts with Facebook are up.

(RE: Your tweet earlier) When you say the minor league team going to the majors, I don't always feel that this is a positive thing. As in this case, it's like Ferrari being acquired by Ford. I don't think I like this acquisition.

- Jonathan.Rivera
From what I'm gathering, this acquisition is more about FB acquiring the talented engineers of FF than it is about the FF software itself. A smart play by FB. Unfortunate for us that value FF. I personally feel that FB is just slowly becoming the new Myspace. Which I don't think I need to explain how lame that is.

If you ignore all the crappy apps and just comment and post photos, your main feed on Facebook is fundamentally a pretty similar experience to FriendFeed - people post stuff, people comment on it. That is, at-least, the way my network tends to use Facebook. The main difference is that Facebook defaults to being very closed and private while FriendFeed defaults to being very open and...

FF acquisition is expected. But, as a user, I would be bumned, if FF would become a feature of FB. As, I tend to use Twitter as my social network and not FB.
- Vasu Srinivasan
It doesn't make much sense talking about 'Facefeed" and 'Friendbook'... Facebook simply bought a cool 12-people company called Friendfeed for its great search technology paying 15M plus some shares, which is really very cheap in this context, given the value of FF's technology (as it is perceived by us). They are also hiring the talented FF team, which makes the deal even more interesting for FB. Probably there are also some deeper hidden motives and implications that I am not able to get.
- Liviu Barbat
I would love it if Facebook integrated the FriendFeed features. I would love it if Facebook had FriendFeed's flexibility with Facebook's privacy control. It sucks that the world may lose FriendFeed, but it is great the Facebook will likely get better.
- Andrew
Andrew, Facebook will get better - over time. There won't be any Vulcan website meld of FB and FF overnight.
- Bill Sodeman
thank god someone understands that, andrew. it's like "i liked this band better before they went to a major label!" ;)
- Terry O'Fee
Bill - But we can dream, can't we? :) I mean, what I love about Facebook is that I'm interacting with my friends as my friends, not as usernames and avatars. But I hate their bookmarklet, the weird delays when I post anything, the comment system, and I hate the Photo gallery tech. I love the FriendFeed community, but would love bringing the FriendFeed technology over to Facebook even more. If only Facebook could buy Flickr next...

- Logan Lindquist
oh NO! I don't spend much time at FB (everybody there's too busy playing stupid games, at least in my little network), and besides it's more private unlike FF. And now they've gone and bought FF? And I just joined! I guess I won't be around here for long, since FF won't...

This happens to me with hummus all the time.
- Michael McKean
Same things happens with cereal, since I can never get the milk to cereal ratio correct. First bowl: too much milk, not enough cereal. Add more cereal, and I'm on my second bowl. Then I have too much milk again, and not enough cereal...so I add more cereal, then more milk, more cereal, and by the time I'm done, I am STUFFED.

Ditto on the hummus, Michael. "Oops, I finished off the hummus, but I still have all this bread... Hmm, I have this tub of hummus, I should get some more bread!"
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
Mona - well, first Dominos just used extra dough for breadsticks. And then came cheesy bread & cheese in the pizza rim, and then they found a secondary use for sauce too, at which point they basically had secondary uses for all the major pizza ingredients. But it wouldn't be news if they announced they were now coming out with pizzas...
- Andrew C
Andrew? I think we are talking about two different things... i.e. cheese and chip ratio for nachos, hummus and bread/pita chips, milk and cereal, hot dogs and buns. Dominos extra dough is creative uses for waste prevention (which Dominos didn't pioneer since pizzerias use left over dough for garlic knots, breadsticks, and such)

I know, but it just struck me as funny once Dominos rolled out so many secondary use products that they basically had all the ingredients for more pizzas.

"Earlier this year I spent a month living in Tehran. I’m a 21 year-old British-Iranian from London, and it was my first time back to the Islamic Republic since my twelfth birthday. By day, I dutifully donned a shawl and an overcoat, in public playing the part – like all Iranian girls my age – of the respectful and obedient woman. But at night, and in private, the shawls were off. The same girls – with their brothers and cousins – joined me in underground raves, fuelled by smuggled alcohol and copious amounts of cannabis. Among the city’s youth, the elections hardly entered conversation. When I asked Mazyiar, a twenty-six year-old, if he would vote, he shrugged, saying, “All the candidates are approved by the Ayatollah, what’s the point?”"

from Bookmarklet
"All the young Iranians who told me they wouldn’t vote surged behind Mir-Hossein Mousavi; maybe they saw him as the lesser of two evils, the only candidate able to oust the hardliner. One thing is certain: for young middle class Iranians the strained veneer of the Islamist regime is crumbling. They are sick of leading double lives, and having a President they consider to be a global embarrassment. "

Original question was MILF?
- Michael Fidler
Early 40s seems to be where most hot women i know are declining in looks. Unfortunately, that seems to be my age. :-( Ahh. To combine the wisdom & spirituality of a 100-yr old, with the beauty of youth. She looks great...
- Mitchell Tsai
I don't think she has kids, but I could be wrong:)
- Michael Fidler
Cee Bee's got a good point about the pictures. So many pictures of public women in their 40s are from their early-40s or their 30s.
- Mitchell Tsai
I think those pics are old. And photoshopped. I mean, what faux-toes aren't Photoshopped these days?
- thepete
@thpete: But with these photos, she's ACTING! —signed, Jon Lovitz

Stop following me, LAG!! Yer freaking me out!!! ;)

Neither of those are recent photos of Ashley Judd. That said, a woman with true character really hits her hot zone in her 40s. Those who can take it into their 50s and beyond (Sophia Loren, Emmylou Harris, e.g., or my wife, specifically) are the keepers. But yeah, hawt.
- Alan Chamberlain
Mitchell & thePete, I pulled a bunch of pictures of her from different places for this. The ones I shared were all fairly resent based on the info included with them. However, I agree with Cee Bee. Most women use pictures from when they are younger, however Ashley Judd is fortunate that she doesn't have to.
- Michael Fidler
Fantastic!

<insert wayne's world impression here/>
- Mark Philpot
they are obviously retouched. but many people including me shared some other recent pictures that were taken by the paparazzi, she looks really good for her age. then again she no longer has that good skin and has a few wrinkles (duh). so yeah I'm pretty sure these are retouched.
- D. Eda Goze
She looks wonderful...
- aerobroken
photoshopped - I am sure she looks quite good, so why do they feel they have to paint out the few spots and wrinkles she has or tighten parts of her anatomy? She would still look very good to most of us, she would still look hot...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I would.
- Mattb4rd
pretty damn good I may say
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I need something higher than Like for this one.
- Joe Pierce
She obviously takes care of herself. A very beautiful and talented person.

Thanks for sharing some of the responses that you received. Your transparency through this was "inspirational" (though I hesitate to apply that term to any mere mortal). I am glad that you share such things. It is good to see demonstrations of the fact that while maintaining integrity carries risks, it can have much more fundamental rewards. Thanks for sharing your human faults and frailties. Few current "leaders" point to their own mistakes and shortcomings. Thanks for being someone who does.

Just watched it. Talk about uncomfortable!
- Graham English
Watching it now. WOW. Jim Cramer looks like he wants to cry.
- Steven Perez
He should cry. I felt sorry for him at first. Then Jon totally spelled it out at the end and I just felt disgusted.
- Graham English
I like how Stewart kept driving this conversation away from "Cramer v. Stewart", which is what NBC has been pushing all week, and pushed the conversation more towards "CNBC was criminally negligent". NBC tried their damnest to make this personal, but Stewart wasn't having any of it.
- Steven Perez
Yep. Completely uncomfortable. I hope Stewart goes after that astro-turfing fool Santelli next. Night, night, all.

Satnelli is irrelevant toast now. He got burnt by proxy.
