interesting. I've tried a few times to get animated images to work on FF without success.. I guess piping it through twitpic might be the answer!

veo, yeah Twitpic, RSS (MediaRSS), Delicious, Tumblr all seem to work. There are more than that but those come to mind.

Just one question, Josh: are you by chance spinning on 9 different Aeron chairs that were a steal after the first dot-com bubble burst? The future of the internets: you're looking at it =)
- Micah Wittman
Bingo!
- Josh Haley
could anybody describe how to create such a picture? thx
- Arnaud Fischer
Arnaud, see http://friendfeed.com/mokarga... for tips. And Josh correct me if I'm wrong, he uploaded to Twitpic the same animated GIF 9 times, then created a friendfeed post and attached all 9 images by URL (instead of choosing images from his hard drive). Images coming from twitpic, soup.io, etc will animate, but photos hosted by friendfeed itself won't.
- Micah Wittman
Hahaha, nice :)
- Simon Wicks
Sir... my muse
- Johnny Worthington
@Micah: awesome, thanks!
- Arnaud Fischer
Did not sleep well with all the spinning. :p
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
It's infinitely more amusing when they don't all load at the same time. Spinning chaos!!!
- CAJ, somewhere else
Why the friendfeed limitation on animated .gifs? It seems arbitrary and odd to me. I could see wanting to limit filesize (animated .gifs can get large) but you can upload huge .jpgs without any trouble.

- Live4Emma (L4S)
Mesmerizing like a lava lamp. Hey! You are a 'Lame-o Lamp'! And you might want to call the folks in the makeup department and get that forehead de-sheened. Remember, your forehead is an alternate landing site for the Space Shuttle - And you don't want to blind the crew on their final approach, do you? :-)
- Morgan Haley
Good luck trying to land anything on that while it's moving. :p I can always count on my brother.

OMG! That should be the next installment at some fluecy deucy art museum!!! AWESOME. :) It's like whack-a-mole... I keep trying to figure out which one will show your face next and for some reason I'm always wrong.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Thanks, Lindsay! :) I think that's the first time someone described wanting to systematically hit me on the head repeatedly, yet have it come off as a compliment. I would love to take credit like I was Andy Warhol or something, but alas I was just tired and felt like doing something silly. :p
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
yep, what Lindsay said. That was one of the first bona-fide instances I've seen of using Friendfeed as a medium for net art. You could get in the Whitney & stuff. GOOD JOB
- Kamilah Gill
LOL! I actually didn't mean it the way it came out (the hitting you on the head part, the compliment part is ok ;)). But I'm in tears laughing when I read your reply. Whack-a-mole always frustrated the heck out of me... I did a lot more staring than hitting when I tried to play. It was mesmerizing.

you wait - the scary part of this comes when one of these ffoodoo heads stops turning, starts grimmacing and talking to you ..... have you seen one of these heads actually get up off the chair and curse the world??? ... the seeming dissynchronicity, the haphazard discord with which these dollheads turn might drive you ...nuts

"concentrated yeast extract" should have been a warning not to take such a big bite.

We told the kids that we are going to use it on them when they get in big trouble. I think it would work better than soap.

Did you put butter on it? Also, you just kinda scrap it on... not to thick
- Johnny Worthington
I wasn't too afraid of the "what i's made of". I'm pretty adventurous. It was just SO strong and salty and ...and...I don't know how to describe it. It was not for me. And I told Johnny I was sorry already. :(

it's velvety smooth, chocolate appearance made me slather it on.

No, no butter. Would that change it THAT much, though? :p

vegemite, it's like marmite but with more wrong ;)

we did eat the raspberries to help remove the vegemite taste.
- Trish Haley
alphaxion, what's marmite?
- Trish Haley
Heh... Trish, I had a friend who went to live in Australia for a while and came back with a wife and a small jar of vegemite. He spread a fingernail sized area of toast with it and bid me try. I did. It was astounding to feel my face muscles contort into a state that they had never before and have never since attained!
- Jim Iz Not on Ur List
marmite is a yeast extract based spread from here in the UK (vegemite is an australian version of this)... their ad campaigns centre around "you either like it, or loathe it".

- CAJ, somewhere else
thanks alphaxion... very educational. i still wonder WHY? @CAJ, I tried to chew it all and get it down, but had to spit it out in the sink, wash my mouth out, and eat various other things to get the taste out.
- Trish Haley
an yeah, that's WAY TOO MUCH on there.
- Joe Silence
Vegemite is awesome, we are lucky that we can buy it from Tescos here in the UK. As everyone has said though, you need butter (not margerine, but it will do) and spread it lightly. As for Marmite, that is some disgusting stuff right there!
- Travis Koger

I will try again later with butter and a SMALL amount, to do my friend Johnny's effort justice.
- Josh Haley
ZOMG y'all have Tim Tams? You HAVE to have a Tim Tam Explosion then. There's no excuse not to. In fact, I'm going to have one when I get home (I have a supply in my freezer).

@travis.. actually, you can't buy margerine in the shops.. all of those butter type spreads are thr same (disgusting ;P )

Trish's face is hilarious. I was raised on Marmite and hated it the entire time. Ate as little as I could get away with. Vegemite is more awful than marmite. Poi isn't bad, just a bit bland to me. Still laughing at Trish's face. (Josh's is funny too.) Excellent capturing of the moment.

@Johnny, be sure to at least send them the caramel, the double coat, and the dark chocolate ones. *wets self*

Yeah... it's an acquired taste, I suppose... one that I apparently haven't acquired yet either... it wasn't for me either when I tried it.
- Walt Ruppar
@Travis: It's a fair tradeoff, methinks. :D @Trish: One of my best friends is Australian, so he keeps me supplied with Tim Tams (I send him cash on PayPal, he sends me a box of Aussie treats). In fact, his first time visiting the US, he packed like ten packets of Tim Tams in his suitcase just for me. I almost passed out from joy. :D

Spread thinly. Got it. If Josh tastes it again with butter and spread THINLY and says it's good, I may try again. But tomorrow. I still have some floating around in my system and can't stop the gag reflex thinking about eating it again. TWSS!!

Gah! I love Vegemite, but that much on toast with no butter would destroy me. Think of Vegemite as spreadable salt. You don't have Vegemite on toast, you have hot, buttered toast with a meagre dash of Vegemite.

Nirvana Members 'Dismayed And Very Disappointed' By 'Guitar Hero 5' (boycott, yo) - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009...
Rob Schieber, Mohsein Sani, Nia and 5 other people liked this
"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 Jansons
from IM
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...
- Jimminy Fuller
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.

Would be sort of funny if you could use his avatar to play GN'R songs...

Christopher - I missed that, but I get your comment even better now!
- 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.
- Stephen Mack
Seattle bands were lightening Rose's wallet by that point...made him cranky, evidently.

My read of the blog post is that FB essentially bought the FF staff, the talent. And that to me means they have a good shot of weighing in and fixing a lot of the problems FB has.

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 25 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)
from NoiseRiver
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
I agree. It needs support for italics, bold, strike-through and underline.
- Kittyburgers
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
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. :)

Rapper behind 'Roxanne's Revenge' gets Warner Music to pay for Ph.D - http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_loca...

"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.

So let me get this straight. RSS is dead because one guy stopped reading Google Reader? I am reading more feeds than ever.
Jon Gosier, sull, beersage and 94 other people liked this
That's up and to the right. I am now reading almost 30 percent more feeds than I was reading a month ago. Bring it on. And RSS powers everything - not just feed readers.

Pubsubhubbub is making RSS even faster. RSS is behind FriendFeed, LazyFeed, and every relevant aggregator. This argument is so silly.
- Louis Gray
Twitter's a great basic RSS reader for headlines and more realtime/'now' stuff. Not ditching NetNewsWire/Google Reader for actual post material anytime soon though.
- BeauGiles
I agree, but RSS could do with a few upgrades here and there though (I just want to comment on blogs straight from the feed itself).
- Hugh Isaacs II
Couldn't agree more. Sure, it might turn into more 'plumbing' for many users, but RSS is far from dead.
- Brad Kellett
900 articles a day? Now that's a lot!
- Antoniu
Louis: I am writing an article about this. It will be in your reader a few minutes after it hits Twitter. :-)
- Robert Scoble
RSS: 1. Really Simple Syndication ; 2. Rich Site Summary => I like the interpretation #2 better.
- Ethan Gahng
That's fine, Robert. We're already discussing it here, though. :)
- Louis Gray
My headline? RSS: interesting or boring? (Hint @marshallk and @louisgray, we’re not normal)
- Robert Scoble
I never said I was normal. Just that I am kicking ass at my job. :) And that anyone else who wants to ought really read feeds. imho
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Agree with Marshall (and Scoble). I believe the best information producers are those who consume lots of information. Know your craft and use the best tools.
- Louis Gray
Marshall: you can read the feeds. The real news lately is being broken in Twitter. But I'm glad someone reads all those feeds so I don't have to!
- Robert Scoble
The signal to noise ratio in feeds is 10x to 100x better than Twitter, though. Even if you do prune your list of Twitter folks (as you have), much of what is there is not news-related.
- Louis Gray
Twitter is the news ticker. If you rely on the ticker to inform your opinion of the world... Good luck
- Johnny Worthington

I had no clue why anyone would use Dave Winer's Twitter OPML tool to get all tweets from friends via RSS. But I tried it anyway and discovered that it's easier to find the really relevant stuff when you get tweets via RSS. 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.
- Dominic Jones
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.
- William Toll
Me too. Feedly has rebooted my RSS reading.
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
completely agree. google reader is a great feed reader and is getting better GUI wise by the week. great avenue for syndication via friendfeed
- James Butler
from BuddyFeed
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.
- Luis Guijarro
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.
- Richard Cunningham
That particular person was serving up link bait
- Dave Hodson
Dave: links are dead. Or so says the same person (Steve Gillmor).
- Robert Scoble
I stopped using Google reader a couple of years ago and I now just read it in the stream with my Twitter, Facebook, Flickr mixed in (in FriendBinder [disclosure: I wrote FriendBinder]) I'm not sure why other people don't do something similar.
- Richard Cunningham
Stuart: life streaming is a headline with a link. For the most part.
- Robert Scoble
The reports of my death are sadly mistaken - quote Mr. RSS
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Google reader is a great tool...if you keep it to only important and feeds that matters to you
- testbeta
louis agreed I love using google reader. great tool.
- (jeff)isageek
I love RSS and losing it would change how I work (and play), but I really wish it would be more mainstream. I work in technical sales and I bet <30% of that group even uses RSS day to day. I bet for the non-techies it is closer to 10%.
- Bill Grant
Love RSS and Reader both, my feed reading is rising day by day!
- Ahad Bokhari
i'm with you on this louis
- Andy Jenks
RSS is dead. Long live RSS!
- Aaron Strout
I can't seem to stop reading. Anyone else using Feedly in conjunction with Google Reader?
- ronnieledesma
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.
- sofarsoShawn
So am I but not in Google reader, I read mine on my desktop in my e-mail program, they come to me, I don't go 'looking for them' I love RSS!
- Sandra Large
Say, don't Twitter streams have RSS feeds? The icon's right there at the bottom of the sidebar...
- Dennis Jernberg
RSS? It'll never displace Usenet.
- Ian Tindale
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...

- mikepk
Mike, in your privacy settings there are options to make profile, status updates, etc. viewable to 'everyone'. The privacy FAQ on FB says setting it to 'everyone' will make those items viewable to the entire internet, even people without a FB account. That is not, however, what is actually happening.

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.

Apply the formula here, or propose a better formula. This was inspired by a discussion of what my brother's dog would tweet if he had a twitter account (and could tweet). It started with "Just got neutered.", but then we had trouble coming up with the witty insight or observation part.

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.
