A bunch of supported services. Anyone try this?? - Jan - @wordsforliving from Bookmarklet
That's like a reverse FriendFeed, if you know what I mean. - Kurt Starnes
I did months ago and really liked it. Haven't gone back to it recently. - Martha
Convert anything - distance, weight, speed, etc. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I just had a revelation that not everybody that uses social media sites crave conversations or meaningful connections. Some just want to share links with people and that's how they want to use twitter or friendfeed for example. Could it be then that most people who have introvert traits don't really want to connect with people?
Very likely. I only get into discussions about politics, economics, and religion, which are not most people's cups of tea. I may like other things, but I rarely discus them online. I don't really crave 'connections' with people online, I view them as sources of content. - Alex Scrivener
I'm an introvert, but I do enjoy a useful conversation - William Harryman
This is an important thing every person talking or advising about the interactive web needs to understand: different people use it differently for different reasons. - Patricia
i like discussing music-making and everything that goes along with it. sadly, i have yet to meet anyone in FF or FB or anywhere other than message boards (UGH!) or IRC who is like-minded. - Dead Silence
You are a bit kinder than I am. Maybe I should learn to look at things like you do. However, I see a lot of people that live in their own little world and just don't care about other people. They want themselves to be the spotlot of attention and wouldn't dare give attention to someone else. - Hummie
Yup, you're assumption is correct. See Forrester.com/groundswell then click on "Profile Tool" to find out why - Jeremiah Owyang
Jeremiah, what assumption?? - Jan - @wordsforliving
Dead Silence, rooms may help with that. I find it more difficult to have topical conversations when everyone's feed is a mass of all different interests and inputs. - joey
I don't know that it's just introverts. I'm a strongly expressed introvert, and I love interacting with people online. It's much easier and less stressful for me than interacting offline - although gaining confidence through online interaction has improved my offline confidence as well and I'm far less shy than I used to be. - Jandy
Jandy - same here - my thoughts exactly! I'm still working on the offline confidence... hoping that will improve as time goes on... - Jan - @wordsforliving
i see what you mean but there are also different ways of using social media. Some use it strictly as a way positioning themselves as industry leaders, some for business and some for fun. The strategies are different. - Violet Mae Lim
Aaah - so true Violet... I have to remember that not everyone is exactly like me or want the same things out of it! - Jan - @wordsforliving
I think you're on to something although I'd never want to concede your last point even though that might be deductively true. For some of us it takes a while longer to open up and 'engage' per se but I'm hoping that its just part of the natural learning curve. - Adi
Adi - I'd been puzzled over other introverts not wanting to chat even online. I don't understand this since I'd like to connect with other like-minded people, but at this point, it's definitely a mystery to me. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I like connecting, sharing, learning, and don't have a thing to sell you but my smiling mug. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
Yea Matthew! :-) - Jan - @wordsforliving
I like getting involved in discussions online, but I'm not sure that I really connect. - John
I fall under the introvert category. I do more sharing of links and content and original thoughts than conversating. I guess conversating isn't a word. - Holden Caulfield
Have to disagree with the opening statement. Just had an interesting time with some twitter peeps about Friendfeed-aggregated news links. Because the links came into Twitter around ten-to-a-time, my followers didn't like it. Pretty much unanimous they wanted commentary and conversation. - George Hall (Australia)
Exactly George - that's my thoughts. What happened was I came across one person (and maybe this person is rare), that actually stated that she did not want the conversations, but only wanted to use social media to share info and links. This was quite a surprise to me, as I assumed every single person on the planet would want commentary and conversation. So seeing her disclose that she... more... - Jan - @wordsforliving
I have gained true friends through the internet. I use it to connect, to discuss common interests and to learn. - Lis Miller
I think I function in social media much like I do in the real world. It takes me awhile to find those I really connect with. I don't care for all the silly stuff most of the time. It's kind of like small talk which bores me after awhile. But when I can get into a good discussion with a group about something I'm really interested in, then I'm more than willing to engage. However, I find... more... - LLL
I'm kind of the opposite, Jannifer. I find that conversation and connection are much easier for me online than in person. I don't get worn out or overstimulated nearly as quickly or easily. And, of course, every day is different. I may be in a silly, frivolous mood today and a more serious mood tomorrow. - Ladybug Heather
you sound like my boyfriend. great words - Caroline
Today turned out to be another horrible horrible pain-filled day. :-(

I'm so sorry that you're having such a bad day. - LLL

I'm trying to get team members to join FriendFeed as the MAIN collaboration and communication platform for us to use to run our Independent businesses, but I'm just not having luck getting the people here who would benefit tremendously by being here. Any ideas on how I can overcome this obstacle?
Not sure if you got the answer you were looking for but my business partners and I at the Secret Women's Business Network ( http://www.swbnetwork.com/blog... ) use FriendFeed as a collaboration tool as we are on three different continents. We have a private room where we do our collaboration and a public one http://friendfeed.com/swbnetw... where we share bits and pieces to the world. It really is fantastic as a communication and collaboration tool. - Allison
I'm in the same position. I have friends on my Yahoo Groups mailing list that would benefit being on FF (if any for the email features) but they are not interested. I'd prefer it as it will kick down my emails even more, ah well. - Kol Tregaskes
I am guessing give this guy a try - Robert Scoble (scobleizer) - Brent - Mugwumps R Us
FriendFeed is way too addictive!!!
Must. Step. Away. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Most days I find it Just addictive enough, but there are those days where it isn't a good thing for me to enter the Friend feed front door .... - Brent - Mugwumps R Us
Crap. Have you ever upgraded & PAID for a whole year of premium service, then FORGOT you'd done that?? I could have been using this service all this time and had even been paying for another service that duplicates the main features!! Now I only have 2 months left before the next year's bill is due! I could seriously STRANGLE myself!!!
Never completely forgot I think but in a way I half forgot, I mean did not think about it and didn't act although I didn't completely forget, it was procrastination. You think you have plenty of time to start using the service and then time goes quickly. It's like those people that pay the gym for a year go twice and then keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow and they hardly ever go again. - M F
Right! I know I purchased the whole year thinking I had plenty of time to utilize it, then life problems happened and it shoved it to the back of my mind. Meanwhile time was flying by, then my memory goes into FAIL mode, I seriously hate seeing money go to waste like that. I quit getting gym memberships a long time ago for those very reasons you mentioned M F. - Jan - @wordsforliving
nods. - denise
I have questions about the video embedded in your presentation about Friendfeed - http://prezi.com/107051/view - I can't find if you have the video link elsewhere... Also wasn't sure if you minded if I ask questions...
not at all I love questions, just a sec I'll get you links - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
full list of links here http://ff.im/4FBeF - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
Ah I see it - I watched the video - Increase your Google Juice with Friendfeed... - Jan - @wordsforliving
you can also find everything at http://knowthenetwork.com - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
My situation is that my website isn't getting pulled up in Google like it used to and this is hurting my business. Since I don't want people to think that I only want to "market", I don't mention my brand much here on friendfeed. Nothing I'm saying or sharing here on friendfeed is pulling up in Google, even though I have a bunch of rooms set up for brand exposure. - Jan - @wordsforliving
So in your examples, certain content was being pulled up when you talked about it here on friendfeed. That is not happening to me and I'm confused as to why. Is it because people don't usually talk to me when I post stuff about the Uppercase Living brand or is the reason content gets pulled up on Google search from friendfeed because those threads have lots of "likes" or "comments". I'm wondering this because this seems to be the way Facebook works. - Jan - @wordsforliving
To be honest I'm not sure, the example I used with "search literacy" had not likes or comments other than my original one - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
if you have alot of other links it may be drowning out the google results - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
Is that because "search literacy" doesn't get that many searches for that term? Because I know the term "Uppercase Living" is searched by a ton of people all the time. Lots of competition, plus people searching directly for it. - Jan - @wordsforliving
i think that is exactly it - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh) from IM
Aaahhh so if I'm always posting a bunch of links to stuff all the time here on friendfeed (which I do), posting all kinds of other links delutes it too much? - Jan - @wordsforliving
perhaps, I'm no SEO exper - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh) from IM
So, tons of people searching for a term or maybe it's more of the fact that so many people like me have websites listed under "Uppercase Living".... Oh, as you can see, I know very little about SEO, but I heard SEO folks are kind of shady. But I don't know... - Jan - @wordsforliving
If I have other questions related to this topic, where is the best place to go here on friendfeed to talk about it?? - Jan - @wordsforliving
If you want info regarding search on google, seek out Adam Lasnik on FF. - Anne Bouey
There are no Michael Jackson fans on friendfeed watching the funeral?
MichaelJackson.jpg
Yes, but few, I guess. I am watching on CNN.com - Jorge Escobar
I'm watching on tv as well. I just can't get into the twitter stream. Too confusing. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Watching on FoxNews.com and monitoring the Twitter streams. - Sharon McPherson
I'm working... - Katie and her Amoeba Eye
Try CNN.com, they've integrated with Facebook - Jorge Escobar
I have it running from here: http://inmusic.ca/news_an... - Jordan Hofker
yes!!! - YoYo_P
hulu is streaming it live http://www.hulu.com/live... - Caroline
Who? - MVB
Nope. - Judy Jones
What I like about the CNN integration with Facebook is that the comments are generally good, although assholes are everywhere. - Jorge Escobar
I really don't care for it - Outsanity
I don't mind people not caring, but trolling on it is what gets me off - Jorge Escobar
i'm watching a documentary from 1994 about restoring a 4-8-2 steam locomotive. - Dead Silence
I'm watching it. - Kimber Scott
Nope - AJ Batac
Um. No. Not here. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
My kids are home sick, and they let me put it on a little bit ago, but they'd rather watch something else. I liked John Mayer's performance though. - Stephen Mack
Nope. At work. - joey
Watching on ustream - Rodfather
I'm sitting in a really long line at the Bureau of Vital Statistics and they are playing CNN Live. Can't hear a whole lot. - Trish Haley from iPhone
I'm amazed at how everyone who are speaking and performing are expressing themselves from such a deep place in their hearts. You can hear the depth. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Brooke Shields had me crying a river of tears with her beautiful speech. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Yes, Jannifer. I'm enjoying the honesty. - Kimber Scott
cnn/fb kicks ass hands down! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
And when I heard Stevie Wonder's song, I didn't realize how incredibly talented he is. His song and piano playing was expressed with such amazing depth, it was breathtaking. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Yes, Brooke and Jermaine's appearance were special. - Sharon McPherson
Jannifer -- that song Stevie did is one of my favorite George Michael songs - Jorge Escobar
watching on PC with Hauppauge TV card (was supposed to be at Busch Gardens, but hubby couldn't get the week off) - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
It was hard for Jermaine to make it through his song. Heartbreaking. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I'm here...and I'm watching! - Carlton Hackett
Usher is sounding incredible now - Jan - @wordsforliving
Oh my goodness now Usher broke down crying... now I'm crying again - Jan - @wordsforliving
watching on PC with Hauppauge TV card (was supposed to be at Busch Gardens, but hubby couldn't get the week off) - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
*hug* - Caroline
I don't think there's been anyone yet who performed that didn't break down or nearly break down during their performance at the funeral. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Now I'm crying. Usher got me. - Kimber Scott
Gone Too Soon is such a perfect song for the ocassion. Heard it over the weekend and thought the same. - Jorge Escobar
Stevie Wonder got me and things went downhill from there - Jan - @wordsforliving
OMG. I love this song. Who's Loving You... - Kimber Scott
I'm working from home, but I had to take a quick car trip and heard Andrae Crouch. - John E. Bredehoft
I must say - liveblogging an event is SO much better here on friendfeed than on Twitter. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Real time FF is built for something like this - Jorge Escobar
I don't think anybody can believe this is real. I can't. - Kimber Scott
I know - seems surreal! - Jan - @wordsforliving
I've never heard of this kid. - Kimber Scott
I don't know the kid who is singing now - anyone know who that is? - Jan - @wordsforliving
I waver between chills and tears.... - Myrna
Jermaine singing SMILE really got me! - Myrna
They are closing with a bang - Jorge Escobar
Do you think this is the closing? - Jan - @wordsforliving
Aww people are spontaneously joining hands in the streats - Jan - @wordsforliving
Heal the World - Jorge Escobar
... - Dead Silence
ok, a more upbeat song. Maybe no more crying on stage, although Usher looked like he still may be. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Look how all these people are touching the world now!! Something, somebody made this happen!!! Michael was a vehicle for all this love and now in his passing it's really blooming!!! You know how it happens when someone dies. - Myrna
Myrna - I agree! - Jan - @wordsforliving
We'll never be able to see the concert, such a shame - Jorge Escobar
I read someone's comment on FF. What is all this attention for MJ. I said I understood how he felt because I felt that way last weekend when he died but then I allowed myself to go to a deeper place to get the gift of love and sharing. - Myrna
Not me, I'm all Jacksoned out. Actually, I was all Jacksoned out about three months after "Moonwalker" - Sir Slippy of Slippington
This is not about MJ. He is only the vehicle for something deeper Sir Slippy.. - Myrna
This is about love and compassion..and sharing. - Myrna
I hadn't seen Janet all this time - Jorge Escobar
I wonder which brother that's talking how that started breaking down when he started speaking. - Jan - @wordsforliving
marlin - Myrna
"Maybe now Michael they will leave you alone" he said... - Jan - @wordsforliving
omg, he said Michael give my twin brother a hug for me. *cries* - Jan - @wordsforliving
omg his daughter - Myrna
I'll watch the movie - Willem
Those are Michael's children! They are so beautiful! - Jorge Escobar
Oooh the daughter was wrenching everyone's heart with her tears and words - Jan - @wordsforliving
That was hard to watch - Jorge Escobar
No. I am working, dipping in here occasionally. I didn't know it was on. I don't have TV on during the day - Ian May
So touching... - Iván Abrego
Brooke Shield's really humanized him the most I think. A glimpse into a side the public never really got to see. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I had a hard time when Paris spoke. I lost it. - Kimber Scott
Oh Kimber I know - she's not more than about 11 or 12 yrs old right? Hard to watch a little girl's words and tears expressing the loss of a parent. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I am. the moment when MJ's voice was heard in 'Will you be there'. next thing I'm all in tears. - Franc ☺
hmmmmmm..watched bits and peices.. its not as if he was like Mother Teresa ! - Peter Dawson
Careful - I moderate comments. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I just hope CNN et al don't replay Paris over and over again as they have just started doing. They should be respectful, but hey, ratings right? - Jorge Escobar
FoxNews is back to news. LOL - Giancarlo Caparo
Thanks Jannifer for giving us the space :) - Jorge Escobar
This was an amazing day!!!! - Myrna
I loved sharing the love ❤ with all of the friendfeed peeps! ❤ {{Group Hug!}} - Jan - @wordsforliving
{{hug back}} - Myrna
Hug back. Thanks for starting the thread. - Kimber Scott from email
That was today? - Steven Perez
the memorial service?? - Yes - Jan - @wordsforliving
It's going to repeat again tonight. - Myrna
Oh it is? The whole thing? - Jan - @wordsforliving
yes, I saw something from BNO online..maybe video but just heard msnbc say they would repeat. They always repeat. Check CNN or MSNBC and also BNO - Myrna
Oh ok - I'll have to check it out. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I don't have a tv and my internet is slow, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I suspect I'll catch snippets of it online later, though. - Katy S
CNN is going to replay highlights at 11PM -not for you Katy but you can replay video at link above your comment anytime..I think. - Myrna
It was on at 3am in the morning here. I'm waiting for a repeat. - Mellissa Doyle

I've started using this in a lot of my Physics lessons to great effect - really nice bit of software. - Rich
I've heard this can be somewhat difficult or time-consuming for the everyday person to learn how to use. Do you think this is true? - Jan - @wordsforliving
this is fantastic, i have presentation on wed will use this - Robert Higgins
Jannifer - It does have a bit of a learning curve. Took me a couple of hours to get used to it but it was well worth it. - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
Here's the presentation I created about Friendfeed http://prezi.com/107051/view - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
Impressive. Lot of potential here. - JazJaz
i created a job portfolio with it and got an interview - Tyler J. Gillies PhD
nice presentation btw - Tyler J. Gillies PhD
Very interesting – i need to spend some more time with it and experiment.. - Bruce Colthart

This is the next on my list to try. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Thank you Tyler. - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
It's strange I found the limitations of design elements make me much more creative. It's as if you were only giving a palette of 6 colors but you found ways to make a painting even more interesting. - Keith (aka Tsudohnimh)
Ok, as I'm trying to catch up with all the new things FriendFeed is rolling out, I keep asking myself... Is it POSSIBLE for FriendFeed to get any better???!!! Just how much awesomeness can we handle???
There is only one way to find out. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Evernote - Is a Premium account worth it or needed to make it truly useful? - http://www.evernote.com/about...
Evernote - Is a Premium account worth it or needed to make it truly useful?
I'm analyzing apps to help me get organized and reduce paper clutter. Any thoughts on Evernote vs. Springpad and/or if a Premium acct. is needed to make it truly useful. - Jan - @wordsforliving from Bookmarklet
I have used the free account for some time and like it quite a bit. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I personally do a lot of note taking and document archiving in a month. Since I have such a high amount of traffic I pay for the service. - CW™
I'm wanting to utilize some sort of document archiving. I'm horrible with keeping track of papers, which get misplaced, etc. Preferably I'd like to scan documents directly into an online app. rather than storing them on my computer first and then uploading them, but I don't know if that's something that's even possible. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I do that with iPhone (or any digital camera) and send to Evernote via email or iPhone app. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
only if you need to annotate pdf - Ricardo Pietrobon
I don't have an iPhone - wondering if it would still benefit me as much since I don't have one. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I just upgraded to premium. The cost to do so is minimal, and with the premium account, I can now import any type of file. That's big for me in business: Word, Excel & PPT files I get from colleagues can now be input and accessed through Evernote. I love it. - eEditor
eEditor - can you also import MP3 files (not music, but educational lectures)? - Jan - @wordsforliving
I've started using Evernote and LOVE it so far! - Jan - @wordsforliving
I love Evernote but haven't yet hit the limit on uploads (so far, I mostly use it for bookmarking online and tagging things to read or do in the future). I plan to upgrade to premium anyway just because I think it's a wonderful service and I want to support it, especially as I branch out and use more of the features. - joey
Also, they use FriendFeed: https://friendfeed.com/evernot... - joey
Don't have a premium account, but should. I use it a lot with my WinMo - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I compared Evernote to Springpad. Springpad is pretty cool, but it's buggy and has enough complaints on their Get Satisfaction website to cause me to shove that one to the background at least for now. I discovered that I could use Evernote with Skitch to take screen shots, then organize them into Evernote. This keeps me from having to save too many .jpg files onto my laptop. - Jan - @wordsforliving
I use Evernote a lot, but the free version is enough for me for now. It's kind of a chicken-and-egg thing. I don't want to invest too much of my note-taking with them, given that they are a small company and who knows how long they'll be in business. But if most people think like me and opt for the free version, then they'll probably won't survive. - Andre P. Siregar
That's what concerns me - whether a company is going to be able to stick around. That's why I didn't want to invest too much into Springpad. All of these companies sinking makes one hesitant. If it continues to prove valuable, I would upgrade to the premium account. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Anyone interested in live-blogging your thoughts with me during Michael Jackson's or is that a twitter-only thing?
I had forgotten about him and Brooke Shields. - Kimber Scott
I'd forgotten how incredibly talented Stevie Wonder is. His voice and piano playing was extremely soul-touching during the funeral.

Too much stuff also complicates life - both literally and figuratively. Not only does it take time and money to deal with my excess stuff, but having my stuff scattered about also weighs me down emotionally. - Jan - @wordsforliving from Bookmarklet
Wife and I just sold $1600 worth of household stuff this weekend. Fewer things now to mentally keep track of. - Bruce Colthart
Bruce, that's great! I've been trying to get geared up to have a garage sale and it seems like it's been one thing after another and time keeps flying by... hopefully I will be able to have one by Fall at least. - Jan - @wordsforliving
Getting rid of stuff is a LOT of work, unless what you're tossing is completely meaningless to you. Otherwise, most items are fraught with memories or unfulfilled plans or whatever. Even donating items takes sorting, contacting, coordinating, etc. When pondering a purge, you have to ask yourself "if the house was to burn down, could I live just fine without these items? The answer is most often "yes." - Bruce Colthart

This is very cool, I wonder how it would work for the 110# lettra paper. I've been working with a vendor to have my cards scored because they are basically impossible to score using a bone folder. - Andrea G
That's cool! (I geek out a little over office supplies) - Katy S
Andrea, I have some really height-wright laminated post cards and was actually surprised how easily I was able to score those. - Jan - @wordsforliving
One of the main reasons why I love FriendFeed is because I can follow people around asking questions and can learn lots of new things. For instance I just learned what a Vegan is thanks to Alex Scoble. FriendFeed is heaven for curious cats like me!
No problem. :) And that is indeed one of the things that makes friendfeed great. - Alex Scoble
You just touched on why I love Friend Feed so much. - Aden
Agree, i ask most likely stupid questions all the time on FF. :) - Steve C
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers :-) - Sir Slippy of Slippington
I have also found this to be an awesome site for learning things. - MiniMage (FakeLifePerson)
Slippy - there are no stupid questions, only stupid people. - Mellissa Doyle
And then there is the raw foodist, who is also, essentially, a vegan. lol - Kathy Lee
Is that someone from the Vega star system? - Mark Trapp
Mark: No, they're named after their home planets in the Vega system. - Ha3rvey
Ha3rvey: I'm not sure about that; I heard they united under one Vegan interplanetary government after the Vegan civil war a few hundred years back. - Mark Trapp
This thread is all kinds of win! :-) - Ladybug Heather
That wasn't a "civil war", it was coup. They became rebalkanized within 50 years. The Galactic Wikipedia will back me up on this. - Ha3rvey
Feh, that's just what the revisionist editors at the Galactic Wikipedia would have you believe. - Mark Trapp
And again with the cries of "revisionism". I suppose next you'll be telling me that Wolf 359 was just a "rescue mission". *sheesh* - Ha3rvey
Look, the Borg were on holiday. If you were stuck in a transwarp conduit for over 1500 parsecs, you'd be a little irate, too. Mountains out of molehills. - Mark Trapp
And this is how, on FF, you go from non-animal eaters to biologic-mechanical hybrids at warp 10... sorry, transwarp! - Marco Neves from IM

Practice releasing the emotions of fear and guilt and replacing them with love, forgiveness, and kindness. If you are feeling guilty about your past conduct, remind yourself that you are inviting turmoil into your life. Release the guilt by forgiving yourself and vowing to avoid that kind of conduct in the future (via http://friendfeed.com/persian...)
