For a website, business?

Basically, like Pirillo has the circle and Drew has the monkey, a logo that I can put on shirts, adorn websites etc... Self branding.
- Johnny
Minifig + Beard?
- Mo Kargas
It would be stylized of course. I think it represents an intersection of your erm..interests. I suppose the minifig could also be holding a lightsaber

Why did you link from Twitter to this restatement of your tweet? Where is the substantiating link? I thought you'd link to Mashable or TechCrunch or CNET article. What is this, friend? :^)
- Steven E. Streight
Is this a FriendFeed promotion. If so, it worked. It made me realize that I had not set up a personal FriendFeed account. Thanks! (RT @mashable: Twitter is Down: Long Live Twitter - http://bit.ly/VPP3t)

FYI... FB is blocking our friends' news feeds except 250 they choose. To undo block go to your HOME page. Make sure your news feed shows LIVE FEED, then scroll to the bottom and click "Edit Options" in the lower right-hand corner. You.will then see your News Feed Settings. Change the 250 to 5000 (FB's friend limit) and your feed will work...

i promise to buy this for you someday... all the kids will be working for a living and we'll all chip in to get it for you. so... you'll just have to wait until we have successfully educated our four children enough for them to go to college and get really great jobs doing what they love. by then it will probably going for five times the amount. it will be worth the wait, though.

Nirvana Members 'Dismayed And Very Disappointed' By 'Guitar Hero 5' (boycott, yo) - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009...

"Kurt Cobain's appearance in the latest "Guitar Hero" video game is not hitting the right notes with the surviving members of Nirvana. Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl said in a joint statement Thursday that they were "dismayed and very disappointed" that an avatar of the late Nirvana frontman could be used to play songs by other artists. "While we were aware of Kurt's image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn't know players have the ability to unlock the character," they said. "This feature allows the character to be used with any kind of song the player wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in 're-locking' Kurt's character so that this won't continue in the future.""

So Activision has the power of Amazon, yeah we gave it to you but we're having copyright issues so we have to pull it?

I won't play it or spend any money on their series again if they don't. This is whoring out a dead man to go against everything he ever believed in. Making him sing Bon Jovi is the final co-opting.
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons

So who owns the rights to Kurt's appearance as an avatar? I doubt it's Krist and Dave. I bet Kurt's family (maybe Courtney?) gave Activision the right to do this. There's no way they'll re-lock it. Once Kurt is in the game as an avatar at all, there doesn't seem any difference to me to have players use him for just Nirvana songs vs. all songs. It's not like Kurt never covered other...

It's Dave and Courtney and they both disagree with his portrayal, especially the unlocking of his image. Courtney said that he'd never agree to sing a lot of the songs. http://arstechnica.com/gaming...

What the hell does Kurt covering other people's songs for his reasons have to do with it? It's not about only playing his own music, it's about him playing the worst kind of corporate whore butt-rock that he spend his life despising and ridiculing.

- Kurt Starnes
Jimminy, thanks for that Ars Technica link. So it says that Dave and Courtney had to sign off for the avatar to be made in the first place. That was the mistake. They shouldn't have done that if they didn't want his avatar in the game. No use complaining now.

They signed off on him being the avatar for the Nirvana songs...apparently they didn't know that he was going to be unlockable

Was the unlock a hack or sanctioned by Activision?

Sanctioned, built into the game apparently. Again, I won't buy or play it.

Facebook´s ultimate goal is to be the Great Internet Search Destination, and in buying FF it's achieving step 1: real-time, public content where searches can be seriously taken.

Can we have support for linebreaks in comments, please? It'd make it so much easier to read and compose long comments, or ones where "special" formatting would be helpful... Thanks.
Mitch, Kurt Starnes, Chris Myles and 23 other people liked this
Yes, I know you can split them into several comments, but that's just awkward and even more time-consuming.
- Tyson Key
I'm not sure I need line breaks (as I use separate comments to achieve this) but some very basic HTML support in the first comment would be most welcome. This would aid us in using FF as a basic blog platform.
- Kol Tregaskes
It might also help with times when BackType stuff gets imported, and the result is so long that nobody in the right mind could scan through it quickly.
- Tyson Key
True. It certainly would be beneficial for imported comments, say from an custom RSS feed. I'd like to see the paragraphs broken up instead of being one long sentence. Good point, Tyson. :-) I still wouldn't like it as native support. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Now that I think about it, it could work as one comment-per-paragraph, but it'd just create confusion if people decide to start injecting other comments in-between each paragraph, as they're imported, or if we ever got the much-requested threaded/nested comments support.
- Tyson Key
Yep, there would be no problem if the import was quick though, so it still might work like that.
- Kol Tregaskes
Still, I get the feeling that it was intended initially for relatively short "local" comments like "Oh! That LOLCat is so cute! I wish I could hug it", rather than for importing long blog comments quoting parts of "War and Peace" or proposals against porting Dalvik to Windows CE-powered toasters. ;)

Just fell for this again - pasting in stuff with linebreaks looks like it's going to work, then does this - http://ff.im/5SqhB
- immaterial
Yeah, that's the biggest problem this issue causes: having to painstakingly edit and split across multiple comments something you should just be able to cut and paste.
- Mark
You have to remember, however, that it *is* convenient now that I can type *and* post without lifting my hands from the keyboard. Just typetypetypetype and press Enter. OTOH, linebreaks *do* make comments easier to read. YOTOH, someone can mis-use linebreaks to type in a comment with, let's say, 100 linebreaks or so... a linebreak vandalism... and that will surely annoy the hell of everybody.
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
Line breaks wouldn't require you to take your hands off the keyboard. They'd just have to make Shift+Enter insert a line break and Enter to post. As for vandalism, a) it's unlikely, and b) it's trivial to code in protection against that sort of thing.
- Mark
@Mark: Ah, you do have a point there. If all nitpicky stuff like that gets properly handled, then I'm all for line breaks. Yessir :-)
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
would love to see line breaks, too...there are codes to check for abusive line breaks (i.e. huge blank spaces in between paragraphs...though it may increase server load a bit)...maybe even RichText or Emoticons?
- brainno722 (Peter)

RichText I don't really like. BBCode-style formatting for [b]bold[/b], [i]italics[/i], and [color=black]color[/color] would be welcome, though.
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
In a way, BBCode is similar to RichText...it would be nice to have bullets (order/unordered), bold, italics, underline, etc...of course, none of these are required, just make writing/reading/organizing easier
- brainno722 (Peter)
from NoiseRiver
Y'all don't need shift-enter to post; you can just use the tab key to switch focus from the text box to the Post button.
- Andrew C (✓)
Agree, brainno/Peter. What I was trying to post was, I don't want RichText controls (like those in Gmail) trying to give a WYSIWYG feel to posting comments. Just BBCode support will be enough to make my day. And Andrew... I blush with embarrasment on realizing that >.<
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
I disagree on displaying emoticon graphics by default. Sometimes, overzealous implementations interpret character combinations as emoticons, when they're unwanted (e.g. when pasting the output of a CLI application in a comment, or anything containing ":P" without being padded by a space).
- Tyson Key
Line breaks, some HTML, etc. (but no emoticons) should be allowed on the first comment, i.e. like a blog post.
- Kol Tregaskes
yes. please.
- Harini Calamur
If a reason against line breaks is that it might be harder to distinguish comment boundaries, using alternating color blocks could address that.

I think linebreaks would take something away from FriendFeed. Linebreaks in comments enforce conciseness and "scannability". Like Twitter's 140 chars, but better, because you still can make a coherent argument. I don't have any trouble with this kind of intermediate form between microblogging (twitter) and normal blogging. What we really need is a blogging platform as fast as FriendFeed. :)

"After two albums, Shante said, she was disillusioned by the sleazy music industry and swindled by her record company. The teen mother, living in the Queensbridge Houses, recalled how her life was shattered. "Everybody was cheating with the contracts, stealing and telling lies," she said. "And to find out that I was just a commodity was heartbreaking." But Shante, then 19, remembered a clause in her Warner Music recording contract: The company would fund her education for life. She eventually cashed in, earning a Ph.D. in psychology from Cornell to the tune of $217,000 - all covered by the label. But getting Warner Music to cough up the dough was a battle. "They kept stumbling over their words, and they didn't have an exact reason why they were telling me no," Shante said. She figured Warner considered the clause a throwaway, never believing a teen mom in public housing would attend college. The company declined to comment for this story."

To Robert's point about his engagement going down, I'd suggest that using a sample size of one item to measure "engagement" isn't really going to lead to any statistically valid conclusion.
- Ken Sheppardson
It has felt to me like I'm seeing fewer native posts from Robert, fewer "here's why:" items, and lots more fowarded Twitter convos and favorites. It wouldn't be hard to use the API to pull all Roberts entries from the past 2-3 months and count comments, likes, and look at how many comments Robert has posted to his own items. My theory is his that if his "engagment" has gone down it's in proportion to his participation.

I can skim through 1,000 tweets in a few minutes and separate the signal from the noise much more efficiently. And, of course, it's all searchable in GReader.

I'm with Louis on this. RSS is far from over. Like Louis, the number of feeds I'm subscribed to is on the increase, too. Services like Lazyfeed and Toluu are making it far easier for me to discover great new content.
- Andrew Terry
RSS is critical to the growth of the social web, and is growing quickly. It will eventually be replaced by friendlier, less protocol centric technologies that shield the user from the mess that is ATOM/RSS etc.

completely agree. google reader is a great feed reader and is getting better GUI wise by the week. great avenue for syndication via friendfeed

Taking into account that Im far from been an expert, I want to leave a thought. What if the way of use is simply different I mean, ok twitter is real time while RSS has some minutes delay, but in any case if I receive 900 hits/day I will not be able to read them all as they come so I dont see the problem on getting some delay.To me is just a question of leaving the noise on Twitter as is much more quick to read and pass through the news & info and get the selected ones on RSS for better storage and record.

RSS needs a proper comment API, so you can fetch all recent comments on all posts in one call from a blog - with threading if the site supports that.

RSS is an essential part of many things now. The argument is irrelevant and though I'd never say they were wrong, they are misdirected or trying to get a reaction. :)
- James Stratford
I use FF, Twitter and Google Reader for different things. Twitter and FF are far more about Buzz and the conversations around the topics. In Reader I aggregate many different original sources together. There is less need for it to be on-the-spot live, but it needs to be deeper and more detailed to be of value, and it is. They serve different purposes for me.
- Robert
Lately, I've been dumping select Twitter & FF feeds into Google Reader, as well as Posterous feeds, so even though I'm using all of these services, GR has now become more of a hub for me. Also: gReactions gives me a sense of how popular a feed item is. I would wish GR would incorporate these kinds of services so I could get more metadata about a feed item.
- phil baumann
Ughh, no, I believe the RSS is dead mantra arose from the real time Twitter phenomenon, however, us smarties know you gotta verify your sources & our attention spans MORE than the space of 140 characters. Catch that, the dual use of metaphor...attention "spans" MORE...As per myself, I read more articles via RSS feeds than ever as well.

Say, don't Twitter streams have RSS feeds? The icon's right there at the bottom of the sidebar...
- Dennis Jernberg
RSS is very alive and well and dare I say, even young. With tech news, there aren't necessarily thousands of sources like with general business news, etc. Where RSS will be big is in who can create the best filters for those larger niches. But the RSS readers we have today don't support all the features we'd need to create those filters. Google Reader management taps out at maybe 1500 feeds in Chrome, the most of any reader that can export opml (not just rss like Friendfeed).
- beersage
I agree that the problem with RSS is filtering. If something changed the way I use the Net was RSS, but now the volume is so great that unless you prune your feeds regularly you can end up with a lot of garbage. Most average users don't have any idea of what RSS is and that's something that can't cease to amaze me.
- Angel B
RSS & EMAIL are not dead. They are getting better and faster. PUSH tech can push anything. Push Email on mobile devices is just as fast as twitter. And now we are going to PUSH RSS/ATOM. Twitter is different, yet the same. Sure, maybe a news headline will break first on twitter but will I see it before I see it in my inbox or reader? Prob not because I'm not frozen staring at a twitter...

Mike, in your privacy settings there are options to make profile, status updates, etc. viewable to 'everyone'.

I'm trying to find a formula for generating the perfect tweet (then I can automate it!). Here's what I have so far: Statement of fact (preferably one that shows how awesome or lame your life is) followed by witty insight or observation.

People seem to be big fans of pithy observations of life phrased as a rhetorical question followed by the phrase "just sayin'" and an irrelevant hashtag lately.

Here is the issue: A witty insight or observation is not made witty by the creator but by the observer. So, unless your automator will tweet and laugh at itself or somehow guess the minds of your audience, it might have issues.

- Chris Saad
I dont understand how you can argue that we shouldnt rely upon one privately owned platform, while at the same time selling your own?
- Nick Halstead
Blogs are open platforms because the only thing a competing platform (competing to Wordpress for example) needs to do to participate is build a better tool and provide an RSS endpoint. Echo, similarly, uses open standards/data and sits on these open platforms. You can easily switch it for another real-time streaming service. Neither of these require you to participate in a single platform to join the conversation.
- Chris Saad
The platform is the web and each component is easily interchanged if a better solution comes along - that's the point
- Chris Saad
Fear Uncertainty Doubt Paul gave no commitments. Read MG's post again. 51 minutes of commitments.
- Steve Gillmor
I did better, I watched the video :) He did not commit to keeping FriendFeed iterating much less competitive and you never pushed him on the point. More importantly, though, I don't understand why you wouldn't want your own blog/software to be as good or better than a centralized tool. You want likes and threading on comments in FriendFeed? Why not use a blog instead and choose a tool that has likes and threading? You have total power
- Chris Saad

Chris, if FF falters, there will plenty of things coming along that will replace it... some may even be better, and more open... that's what we're trying to do with Grabbit.net, and we thought we could beat FF even before the Faceborg assimilation... just build a better service... with as much open-ness and platform-ness as possible... we will have the beta out in September, so I hope you check it out and give us your feedback! Same goes to you, Steve! And thanks for pushing for the API support! Cool!

Of course, I'm biased, 'cuz it's my baby... but we're basically trying to build the product we really want to use... and just build it from our hearts more than our brains, if you know what I mean... things created with love usually turn out better than things created by greed ;-)
- Fred Davis
The issue that most folks in these circles (and by that I mean anyone that has figured out how to reach this FF thread (or whatever the term is)) have not grasped is that to make a service "dead" there must be a definitive stop of whatever can define as the major systems that support it. Make any analogous statement to heart or a nervous system you want. When I consider Google Wave, FriendFeed, richer so-called microblog formats, and rebooting/CPR/transplants into other "dead" systems: I smile. Zombieweb.
