!Every year, there are millions and millions of random facts and statistics gathered by researchers, scientists and analysts. These numbers are often times too large to interpret and the shear magnitude of the numbers can be overwhelming. Here are 20 figures scaled down to 60 seconds in order to grasp how wild some of these numbers are.!

It's a theme that displays the current weather. I've never seen the snow version before. I don't think it's snowing outside but it would be awesome if it started.

Step 1 in how to lose friends and disinfluence people - anger a popular blogger. No matter what the other side may say, and even if they have a legitimate reason for their decision, Arrington has the bigger megaphone.

Well that sucks. Something like this would probably happen anyway. A decent design comes out and a cheap knockoff from China is end up made.

Presumably FusionGarage will have their own interpretation of Arrington's claim of joint ownership, since FusionGarage previously noted that FusionGarage software was included in Prototype B. My thoughts (and a reference to this thread) at http://empoprise-bi.blogspot.com/2009...

Reason #42 why newspapers are dying: They make it expensive & cumbersome to buy access to a single short article.
Tyson Key, righini riprova, John μller and 2 other people liked this
$4. 15 minutes. To buy a *single* very short article, and just for vanity-sake, too. (it was a review of a theatre production I had been an orchestra conductor for many moons ago). This is ridiculous. I can buy an entire song on Amazon in seconds with 1 click for 99 cents. Why should this smidgen of text be so much more of a pain and expense?! Why can't the LA Times use Google Checkout? Or, heck, even PayPal. Why should I have to supply the LA Times with a mailing address, phone number, blah blah blah? And, perhaps more importantly, how much MORE MONEY would newspapers get if they joined the 21st century and made buying articles less like pulling teeth?

What is proper List etiquette? If someone creates a list and I'm on it, should I create a list including them? Do you subscribe to a list you're on? Subscribe to one you'd like to be on? I don't want to offend people. But I see no common sense list etiquette!
Voyagerfan5761, RAPatton and Brian Appleby liked this
@jesshoffman I wouldn't worry about adding people back. Only if it fits your purpose for what you are trying to do with your own Lists. (A Thank You DM and some follow up conversation might be appreciated though and will likely deepen the connection.) That said, your purpose may be to flatter some people, which of course only works if they're not on a ton of lists already. If someone is on less than say 5-10, it could really make their day.

Louis, what was fail about it, I'd like to at least know when the service ends, prior to it ending.
- Jimminy Fuller
The article suggests that the only way out is to pick a date it closes.
- Louis Gray
Ah well that is true, I'm trying to archive the service now, but I don't think that's going to get anywhere, far too many legal restrictions. So it all depends on how the deal was structured and if any of the team are still in control of the service. *sigh*

I thought it was Zuckerberg who gets to shoot the old dog. Buchheit & co. sold it to him. Remember?
- Dennis Jernberg
Dennis, no one knows who is actually in charge of the decision, and Buchheit can let us know prior. They won't have an abrupt shutdown, I'd assume.
- Jimminy Fuller
But I don't think that if they do shut it down (and for all we know they likely will), it'll be anytime soon. And of course it won't be abrupt; Yahoo's shutdowns of 360 and Geocities weren't. If FB shut down FF abruptly, they'd have to face a whole lot of angry FriendFeeders.
- Dennis Jernberg
I don't understand all this "friendfeed is over, pick a date" stuff. friendfeed has hit pause on the evolution of features, but it was always the community that brought me here. The world will eventually move on to the point that it will no longer make sense to have a separate site here, but that will likely be a popularity vote made by us (and measured in traffic), not some arbitrary...

Perhaps all of Facebook will be transitioned to FriendFeed. If so, how will I access Farm Town? :) I commented more fully at the post itself, after seeing a link to the post on Rahsheen's feed. And no, you're not seeing this level of conversation in Google Reader's social features, and if you are, you can't find the comments. Google Reader's a good sharing mechanism (I'm with Louis on that one), but it's socially awkward.
- John E. Bredehoft
Google reader's Comments engine and sharing engine are fracking perfect, but where it fails is in the conversation searches, and the "What/who the fuck was I talking about/to" and the "what are my friends talking about" function.
