Dare Obasanjo aka Carnage4Life - Google+ is the new FriendFeed - http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog...

"I’ve been joking with Omar that Google+ is the new FriendFeed. I recently posted this on Google+ and was asked to explain what I meant since Google+ doesn’t support importing of content from other services which was the key feature FriendFeed. The reason I say this is that Google+ fulfills the same need that FriendFeed when it first came out."

I kinda wish there were a tool for identifying FriendFeed zombies en masse: People who look like they're still active on FriendFeed but really only have imported items and comments imported from their Delicious or Google Reader feeds. You can check by hand, but it'd be cool to tell at a glance if your comment to them here will ever be read.

I know I'm a little late, but it only just hit me now that Discovery is never going to go on another mission after this one. I still remember watching Discovery take off on the very first mission after the Challenger disaster, and I remember that I actually got teary-eyed when they lifted off safely.

"Cellular automatons are great at illustrating the power of functional programming. They also make for very pretty Clojure programs. This article talks about Rule 30, what's so interesting about it, and how to implement it in Clojure. There will be a second part to this article as well, covering ways in which we can make this automaton go faster using Clojure's concurrency and parallel programming tools."

However we're thinking of moving up to a minivan, like a Honda Odyssey. That way hitting each other with toys will require them to learn to throw accurately. #essentialskills

"For the past few months I’ve been consulting with This Week in Tech (TWiT) helping build a new TWiT.tv website. Last week Colleen Kelly—who’s done an amazing job building out TWiT’s studio, live & mobile streaming infrastructure, and IT systems—decided she’s moving on from TWiT and accepting a position with Google. One thing led to another, and Leo Laporte and TWiT CEO Lisa Kentzell made me an offer I couldn’t refuse: I’m joining TWiT as their VP of Engineering."

Vlado Handziski liked this
"Computers are traditionally viewed as logical machines which follow precise, deterministic instructions. The real world in which they operate, however, is full of complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty. In this year’s Turing Lecture, Professor Chris Bishop discusses the field of machine learning, and shows how uncertainty can be modelled and quantified using probabilities. He looks at the recent developments in probabilistic modelling which have greatly expanded the variety and scale of machine learning applications, and he explores the future potential for this technology.

- t toring
The way it clusters multiple shares of the same article, for instance. I also like how it manages the information flow. Very nice. On the other hand, those features aren't enough to get me not to switch to Buzz as soon as I can get everyone migrated over. :-)
- Piaw Na
Two-stage hiding. The promotion semantics of Like and Comment. The visual design. When the realtime updates happen and when they don't. The way pagination works. One-paragraph comments. How it decides which names of likers to show. But the craft is not in the features, it's in the thing itself.
- Daniel Dulitz
Totally agree. FriendFeed innovated in ways that will never be fully appreciated by most. In a way, it's like that Postal Service album. I'm kinda glad there wasn't a sequel, because where it froze in time was just perfect.
- DeWitt Clinton
Agreed. The release of Buzz really underscores the attention to detail in FF and makes me appreciate the many design decisions that they got right. It's sad that the inovation had to stop after the acquisition.
- Chip Ramsey
Agree. I feel strong information overload in buzz. Visual design of buzz is very ugly. Full of useless frames and icon. Why did google release such a immature prototype to the public?
- Ted GUO
I've said it before: it's an elegant social networking site for a more civilized age.
- Goran Zec
What really sets it apart is how clean it feels. I use it with the Helvetica theme (but Deja Vu Sans and banner hidden through adblock , since I dislike Helvetica), a greasemonkey script to color-code my friends' comments. It's all whitespace and well-formatted content.
