My First Pregnancy Photo Shoot! - The Amazing Sparky (aka Brian Johns http://friendfeed.com/brianjo...) and I teamed up to do a photo shoot of of our beautifully pregnant friend Georgia http://friendfeed.com/georgia who has also been kind enough to let me share the photos. I haven't seen Sparky's awesome photos yet, but his lighting was perfect!...
Oh, the third thumbnail is one of my favorites! Such a good shot :) I also LOVE number 22!
- Georgia Diehl
Georgia, the third thumbnail is one of my absolute favs too!
- Rachel Lea Fox
I couldn't remember which one of you and Nathan you liked best, the first one above and 22 are two of my favorites of the both of you alone with the spot color one.
- Rachel Lea Fox
There is a bug with the FriendFeed SmugMug crawl. I'm pushing a fix now :)
- Benjamin Golub
And as the subject matter, I must add, both Rachel and Brian made the experience wonderful! I don't think the shots would have been so incredible if I wasn't so comfortable around the both of them.
- Georgia Diehl
FF is about conversation. If you're going to use FF as a billboard or megaphone and not reciprocate when people are taking the time to respond to you, I'm unsubscribing.
It's one thing I like about Robert Scoble and a few others, even with busy lives, and thousands of followers, they still find the time to comment and comment back. Well done.
- Mo Kargas
*crickets* HA HA HA HA HA HA. OK, sorry. :|
- Josh Haley
If you wish, Comrade! *salutes smartly*
- Mo Kargas
Everyone now feels obligated to reply to this post to prove they're part of the community ;)
- Steven Cains
Rofl :D Cains haz discoverd mah evil plan!
- Mo Kargas
Well, you're not subscribed to me so I'm not going to repl... doh!
- Morton Fox
LOL @ obligation to contribute to the thread. And Mo - I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed to you! I'd been reading you so long as a friend-of-a-friend! Sorry!
- Ladybug Heather
Ohh that's ok Heather lol, it just occured to me that I wasn't subscribed to you and Morton. I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for FF's little blue/grey comment icons
- Mo Kargas
Wasn't that kind of megaphoned. ;-) I am hot and cold with FF. Sometimes I power participate, and when I don't, I forget that my stuff is feeding into it. :-/
- Jennifer Leggio
I am here quite a lot, and I think I participate quite a lot, but one can't always be here of course. I do try to respond when folks ask me something or respond to me, but I probably miss a few along the way.
- Ian May
Mo, right on! This is a community not a soapbox.
- Mark Wilson
Oh, oh! I was on the way to the gym so I couldn't reply to your last comment on my feed! I'm sorry! But I did go to the gym so does that get me a little bit of leeway? :D Hi, Mo!!
- ♥patricia♥
You're soooo off the island Pea :D J/K <3
- Mo Kargas
In terms of my portion of the conversation, I prefer to listen :)
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Mo, I don't find that funny AT.ALL. *ahem* :D hee. <3
- ♥patricia♥
Anyway, none of you guys do that. A lot of so-called 'A listers' do (again not all), and I don't follow them anyway, anymore.
- Mo Kargas
Yah, I feel you Mo. Anyone that is bothering to respond/like this is probably not on "the list" LOL
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
hey I'm still here, I've been in the US Politics room for the last few weeks.
- R. Ferguson
Good one. I guess not many people realise it and it was good that you point it out. I can understand what Scoble comes from now. Conversation is everything!
- Suhit Anantula
Seems awful shortsighted - some people are are good conversation starters, some are good commenters, some are both. Why exclude any of them?
- Brian Sullivan
i get more responses to my comments than what i post, so ff works (or my feed sucks)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Agreed, just with FriendFeed made it easier to track all your conversations, kind of like a FF "inbox".
- Mike Reynolds
I agree and try to respond when I have something valueable to say, but I am on the quiet side. Hubby hates that I don't talk as much as he does. Need to get him on here.
- Denise

participation is important...but it's OK w/me when people promote their own stuff - same goes for twitter, greader, etc - it helps me not miss anything when it comes in via mult channels :)
- Sarah Perez
@Brian I don't think most FFers are like this, I also understand if you're a new FFer your feed may look like a billboard. What I'm against is, for example, if your subscribers are constantly commenting on your feed, and you never, ever, reply back to them, never participate in the conversation.
- Mo Kargas
@Sarah Perez Ohh for sure, but paticipation/conversation/reciprocation is what I believe to be the foundation of FF. If you're merely promoting yourself, there's no difference between you and a banner ad.
- Mo Kargas
Really like your idea of connecting Obama's work with corporate world. And Why not? If the President of US is doing it, why are the big guys running away from it.
- Suhit Anantula
hehe..good one M. Reminds me what I do with Visio drawings I need to come up with. I create the grand shell, name it, save it and then go..meh.
- Kamath (नमः)
Best inspirational poster ever. Thanks Mona!
- Mike Reynolds
Remind me to comment on this later too...
- Mike Lewis
my dad had the best procrastination comeback ever. i accused him of passing it onto me and without missing a beat and with perfect delivery he said, "No, I haven't gotten around to doing that yet." awesome.
- ♥patricia♥
Oh gees, that is classic!! ha, ha!! good one Mona!!!!!!!!

the act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or defering an action to a later time
- jfayel
procrastination 1548, from L. procrastinationem "a putting off," noun of action from procrastinare "put off till tomorrow," from pro- "forward" + crastinus "belonging to tomorrow," from cras "tomorrow," of unknown origin. Procrastinate is recorded from 1588. http://www.etymonline.com/index...

It just occurred to me that melamine and toxic assets do the same thing. Toxic assets keep the financial system from passing water, and melamine keep people from pissing. One is virtual and the other is real. So China and the US make the same things in different worlds. And they lie about it...
Can I not just rely on one service to replicate my posts across all these other services using some sorta extensible open api ? Twitter being the biggest whale in this ocean atm would ideally be the primary source of sorts but so lacks in other areas of the social graph ! Looking for a friendfeed in reverse I guess ? Scratch that invert it grrrr how frustrating ! love FF shame it makes regular folk run away in fear brains a melting :)
- David Smith
@David coz a lot of us have different audiences on each service. eg. I am invested in FF and twitter and pownce, in that order and just cross post to jaiku.
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Was very impressed with the 'new' Twirl - Using it since Loic posted it last night. Giving this a spin now ....
- Charlie Anzman
I particularly dig the Posty screenshot.
- Louis Gray
I thought you would Louis :-) Apol for not linking to you, I'd already written the post and screenshots are the last thing I do pre-publication.
- Duncan Riley
No problem at all, Duncan. I didn't link to you because my story went first. :-)
- Louis Gray
LOL @ Louis - of course you like I like - what's not to like?! :*) I like it!
- Susan Beebe
Louis, by a matter of minutes....I'll have to be quicker next time ;-)
- Duncan Riley
This is good...I have been a Twitter user for the past couple of months or so. I waiting to see how this will pan out...but from side whatever works is good enough.
- Suhit Anantula
@louis actually mine went first - posty got a mention at the bottom. ;) ha ha @duncan thanks for the link :)
- Sarah Perez
@Sarah: you're welcome :) but don't click that link now...looks like identi.ca is down...
- Trent Olson
@David Smith, the whole point of openmicroblogging is to do that kind of federated network for you. So, YES, but we have to get the other services to sign on.
- Evan Prodromou
Seriously though, it seems like identi.ca is just copying everything twitted does with a huge lag. Anything new could have easily been tacked onto twitter as others have done, instead of going to the trouble of creating a whole new posting service to fracture the community. It may have uptime going for it but that is only good while they are small. Will they scale any better?
- Ernie Oporto
Ok. Let's start an auction! How much do you bid to receive the notification of the new version Posty TEN minutes before the rest of the group? Place you bid ;)

If the world had a chance to vote in US elections, you'd have a real left winger like Tony Benn on the ballot instead of Obama.
- Prolific Programmer
i'm PrObama myself, but there's something creepy about the foreign adulation.
- Aziz Poonawalla
Prolific, not ALL of the world is so left-winged. Heck, not with the kind of governments we're used to. Not me, at least (I'm Venezuelan).
- Juan Carlo Rodríguez
I did not read the entire article, but I was doing some preliminary numbers with a friend of mine and it came out around that excluding your primary home.
- Suhit Anantula
hmm... I like to think of it as web1.0 = producers, web2.0= data centric, web3.0=people centric
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Hmmm.... don't like it. How about this: web 1.0 - corporate & academic publishing. web 2.0 - self-publishing (blogging, micro-blogging, etc.). web 3.0 - machine publishing (semantic web living on top of the other two).
- Aaron deMello
Does anyone think we'll get to 3D by 3.0? I know second life dabbles here, but I'm thinking more like surface/touch getting us to web = everywhere. Wearable, bendable, portable, just meta-tagged ideas in space.
- Kim Mahan
Umm, I'm slow, what's an example of Web 3.0?
