There are ghosts in my Gmail theme. - http://skitch.com/cgranie...
Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie), Simon Wicks, Lim Chee Aun and 27 other people liked this
If you use the Gmail theme "Tea House" you may not have noticed that, late at night, the ghosts come out to play. Have you found any other easter eggs in Gmail's themes?

Whoa. I use that theme on one of my accounts, but I never use that account at night.
- Admiral Anika
haha. Love Easter Eggs. Thanks for pointing that out. Like Anika I never use that account at night. BUT I do like how the solar system rotates on my Gmail Theme throughout the day. Very fine. :)

Okay then. I'll have to live with the screen shot. :)
- Admiral Anika
@Anika, check out Alessandro's link. It has a bunch of additional info on Google's theme easter eggs - and pics!
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
coool
- Zafarali
That's supposed to happen as well in the same iGoogle theme but I have the impression that that only works in America as I have never managed to see that in the iGoogle page, which is pretty disappointing. The rest of the world do like those Eastern Eggs in the Google themes, not that I have waited at night to see it (I'm lying on this) but if you, for whatever reason (playing Sudoku), are still up you should be able to watch and enjoy it in the same way as an American. Shame on you Larry and Sergey. ;)
- Cibeles
I use this theme, and i have never noticed. :)
- Simon Wicks
In Singapore, I can also see some. Like in the Phantasea theme, usually water is deep blue, but when getting late (2200pm i guess), it will become purple. and deep in the night( 3 or 4 AM, not sure, because usually never bother to look at clock at that time) it will be like bloody red.

@Google hey what happened to the envelope Gmail favicon? Seems to have gone missing? I'm using @firefox 3.5.1
Rohit, Rob Michael (Atmos Trio), Charlie Anzman and 5 other people liked this
Has anyone else noticed this?
- LANjackal
I still have the envelope. Also using firefox 3.5.1
- TobiasVerhoog.com
The funny thing is that when I open a message, the correct envelope favicon shows, but when I load my inbox it doesn't
- LANjackal
Envelope's still there for me, too, in Safari 4.
- Ryan - @magicofpi
Clearly, you are being experimented on by Google, treated as any iconographic test rabbit out there, and you being a LANjackal 'n all!
- ianf ⌘
Huh? I have the GMail envelope favicon in Firefox.
- Tyson Key
There was a bug in Konqueror related to using the apple-touch-icon instead of the favicon, but it shouldn't be in Firefox, too.
- Tyson Key
Looks better.
- Zachary TG
It [Firefox 3.5] is grabbing Google's favicon when accessing google.com/accounts to log in. If you reload the page while logged on, it will swap back to the red envelope. Happens to me all the time (with google reader and orkut too).

Problem solved :)

Bing launches Google Trends-like service xRank http://www.bing.com/xrank/ Bing is VERY strong effort by MSFT Google should worry #bingrocks

There are still some things that I think google does better, but I think I am a strange case...
- Robert
Google is still my number 1, but Bing has been able to solve everything google has failed at for me.
- Matthew DeVries
Image search, video search and xrank were things that Live Search already had. they were just refined even more and updated with the new Bing Engine. things like Shopping + Cashback, Travel and Question Searching are the new things in Bing. for example you can ask it to translate:, to tell the market wage for a certain job, to rate exchange a currency, to do math, to tell the weather,etc, etc. Mahalo index would do good in Bing. maybe Jason will want to sell :P

I really enjoy using mine even though I've found I need it less than I thought I would.

me too, I love only logitech mouse...
- OmarCaf
I'm using the Mighty Mouse but I really want Apple to release a new mouse..
- Peter
Okay, I really don't have a problem with the MM in general. As long as it's working, it works for me. I say "As long as it's working" because, if it gets too cold (and by that, I mean, not THAT cold), it slows down to a crawl, which can be very frustrating.
- Fleagle
It took them how many years to build a mouse with more than one button?

The MM is the best mouse I have ever owned! I love it!
- TheHenry
I love the mighty mouse. Though I wish apple would release just a USB Track pad because I prefer using a trackpad over a mouse.
- Corey Harris
I hate the MM, I much prefer a good solid logitech with no less than 16 buttons :)
- Danny Cohen
I tried to like it but I ran out of patience about 15 minutes into it. I replaced it with a Kensington Slimblade.
- Akiva Moskovitz
My scroll wheel had gone out on my wired MM, which was two months past warranty. I took it to an Apple Store last night, they cleaned it to no avail and handed me a new one, no fuss, no muss, no paperwork.
- LogEx
Again, much like Apple's products, it is not meant to satiate everyone's needs and wants. Especially when it comes to mice, there are so many products out there that a little bit of research would help you decide if the MM is for you/not!
- Guru Panguji
The concept is good. (The scroll-ball is a great idea) The implementation sucks. I found the scroll-ball would eventually get clogged with dirt, but unlike a traditional ball mouse, you can't open the mouse up in order to clean the scroll-ball. The left-clicks work fine, the right-clicks are often hit-and-miss. I do love how it connects via bluetooth and works with hardly any configuration.
- Paul Grav
Beauty over use. It's been ages since Apple released a good mouse.
- Pedro Rodrigues
MM drives me crazy, anyone find a good replacement for it that replicates its functionality?
- Gordon Corte
lmao!
- Zafarali
Logitech's VX Nano is pretty good. It isn't bluetooth but the usb dongle is tiny.
- Paul Grav
Agreed. Damn you Mighty Mouse. Damn you.
- Garin Kilpatrick
I've gone through 2 MM's that became unusable due to broken scroll wheels. No more.
- Chrimmus Tad
While I don't think much of TechCrunch; I have to agree with this post wholeheartedly. I like all (read: ALL) things Apple. Minus the Mighty Mouse.

"Follower" is a weird term. "Watcher" may be better. Follower implies action and engagement, and anybody who's used social media for more than 20 minutes knows that just isn't true.

If we need to use friendfeed to be useful, are there any clients or is it only the webinterface.

Daniel: what is wrong with the web?
- Robert Scoble
inscribo ergo sum (I write therefore I am)

Nothing, just seem deficult to follow more threads. But that is probably not needed because the whole conversation is in once place. No need to multitask.
- Daniel Graversen
is it just me or is the most used "plugin" on FriendFeed twitter?
- Qbat
Actually, I find FriendFeed useless. I was reading an article about Twitter being useless, but the news get faster there. We'll have to say thanks to TwitScoop for that.
- Dragos Pirvu
I never use FriendFeed. it just agregates all my other feeds into one feed. thats all :D
- Zafarali
Dragos: wait until you compare search here to Twitter before calling it useless. Among other features.
- Robert Scoble
No bot me, no. Count me out for that one.
- Ton Zijp
dragos: all the news on Twitter is on FF, plus FF has better conversation - what do you think is missing?
- Chris Rogers
FriendFeed enables comments on your tweets.!
- Qbat
Robert Scoble: I think the proliferation of tools for Twitter let you slice and dice the data the way you want it and that is helpful to many. I do like the Web interface for FriendFeed, but imagine the possibilities that some cool tools could bring. No?
- Larry Roth
So then we need someone in your vast network to write us a little app that will map the Twitter users who comment on FF and then block all the rest! Or at least create a "Real" Group in TweetDeck for me.
- Marshall Huwe
You don't want followers, Robert—you want minions. I've got a few myself, and they're great.

Robert: unless perhaps the bot has directions to comment on every Scoble post?
- Brian Sullivan
This reminds me of that "following directions" test from grade school. 1. Read all instructions before beginning. (2 -> N-1). Lots of crazy instructions which we all did. N. Don't do any of the previous instructions. Turn the page over, write your name, and wait.

Should be a rewind and play button so you can play back all the comments.. like google wave

Tim: I'm a 65%er :) Though I am now in the 13.9% that skim comments to see what's going on. And also in the 29.4% of people managing to find replies to their comments in the Scobleflow. Definitely in the 100% of people wanting a Comment link at the end of each conversation since I moved back to Safari. Oh, and also in the 100% of people who take conversations off topic while making up statistics.
- Andy Bold
Done, in.
- Thom Kennon
Tom Griffin, I saw that, and it's "usable" but it's nowhere near the elegance and simplicity of say UberTwitter,SocialScope, or TweetGenious. I use SocialScope. It is an absolute Killer app.

Do I get partial credit for skimming the comments? No? Sorry, master.
- malackey
Cool, so, I'm in the 47%, 35%, 29.4%, 100% and 100% ranges! I'm all over the place. Thanks Scoble and Andy for helping me learn something new about myself.
- Tim Young
I see the "224 more comments" bit on FF and know I don't need to add another comment. Erm...
- Ian Betteridge
FFtogo doesn't auto-refresh
- Ron Hudson
To follow or not to follow, or to passive follow versus have an active conversation?
- Peter Simoons
More stats: 41% will miss Robert's reply to them in the reply flood, 26% will see it and not answer, 22% will have ADD (the tech curse) and already be doing something else, and 1% will see the reply and see it as an excuse to make up some more statistics. (And reply that I definitely have not read all the comments ;-) )
- Andy Bold
It's all about the user experience though - it's easier to comment to someone's question on Twitter by quickly clicking @ than click a link through to FF, faff about sizing the screen on the screen to wait for the comments to load, read them and then post, so yeah, I can see why many respond on Twitter than FF. I'm doing that more myself as currently very busy with work projects. This...
more...
- Sally Church
And, somewhere in the horde, somebody will belatedly realise that he somehow manages to fall into Robert Scoble's "useful" list. Darn it - will need to post more signal and less noise now! ;)

nice one :) you should do an NHST on that hahaha

They should change that from "followers" to something like "watchers" or "subscribers". As in "I have a subscription to the Scoble lifestream."

So is this a casual social experiment to determine rough percentages of active/rabid users who like to engage/participate with those they follow?
- Eden Hensley
I completely agree! Unfortunately I might be considered part of that 53%! The only reason I am responding is because someone else I follow re-tweeted it. I personally have over 5000 followers but only regularly interact with 50 or so. Isn't Social Media about conversation and being engaging? Hmmm......
- Robert Dominguez
Robert: Very interesting experiment, one should use there own judgment over there (twitter) regarding bots and spammers.

Andy Bold, I played with iPhone page too, but it's just a pain to have to open the browser. The blackberry environment is all about easy simple communication. If I have to jump through hoops it breaks down. Not to mention a friend feed experience without push is not a friendfeed experience.\

Hey, much better here! Twitter sux.... after getting locked out of @freddavis for months with NO reply from Twitter, even after you tweeted @ev and @biz (thanks!)... so I my new Twitter name is @fucktwtr ... but much better to use FriendFeed!

- Patrick Ward
To much noise, the good data is lost.
- Adam Mesenbrink
Yes to much noice. Maybe a way to mark comments as good could be a way to filter the comments.
- Daniel Graversen
Adam, I think that's a limitation with the threaded discussion model of FriendFeed - it becomes very, very difficult to follow a conversation once it goes beyond a hundred or so comments. Of course, Scoble will come up with a search filter which makes it easy in about three comments from now, just to prove I'm wrong... :)
- Ian Betteridge
I didn't realize followers were supposed to do what their followees said. Does that mean I have to open those links to help me make money on twitter? I was just using it for communication. Silly me.
- RobinDotNet
Robin: communication takes someone on the other side listening and talking back.
- Robert Scoble
Useless to YOU, perhaps. I'll bet they are getting value from the info you rpovide. Social media doesn't have to be about communication, it can be about "transmitting information" or some other morer restrcitive definition of what goes on. Some people just like to listen!
- Jim Tierney
Useful post :)
- Krishnamoorthy
Agreed! There are those like me who sit in shadows, read and do not comment... oh wait, crap!
- Danny F Santos
Talking back is definitely good, but I'm still not clicking on those links telling me I can make money on twitter. I do talk back to people (as evidenced here). :-) So you have a lot of followers who don't. Do they even tweet? Can anyone explain why people join twitter and don't tweet?
- RobinDotNet
Jim: I'm not a broadcast, though. Are people who just consume really useful?
- Robert Scoble
And BTW, if you don't realize the value your personal brand gets from having those 48,000 followers whether they reply back or not, you're missing something!
- Jim Tierney
Robin: people are used to consuming info and not talking back. I understand that. Jim: there is some value in having lots of consumers, yes. I just aspire to more.
- Robert Scoble
lucky you that non all of them have an active role in your FF... how can you think of have an interaction wth so many people?
- Paolo Galli
from IM
I think you math is waaaaaaaay off. Looks like somewhere around 0.3125%(300/96,000 - rounding up) of your followers are useful, meaning you should edit your comment to say 99.7% of your followers. Really makes me wonder the true value of twitter if one of the top uses gets this percentage of useful following. The other possibility is that as followers increase, the percentage of attentive/usefull/whatever-you-want-to-call-it decreases.
- Robert D. Fraser
Paolo: I've had interactions with tens of thousands of people here on friendfeed, just not all at the same time. Robert: you're right. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Do you think those non-tweeting-twitterers sit at their desk and read all the tweets coming across? Or are they looking for something specific.
- RobinDotNet
Scoble: You are asking questions and experimenting with stuff that I find interesting. Just reading through this thread provides some interesting insights into users' perspectives on Twitter.
- Matthew Schrock
Is that southeastweb thing from a bot or some kind?
- RobinDotNet
Robin: I think it's a spammer. But at least it's a spammer that follows directions. That said I think I'm going to block it.
- Robert Scoble
Blocked.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble you really can do it? I'm very impressed :) I'm jocking... I think many users on the web just read information but doesn't partecipate... it's to difficult ;)

- Antoine Bertier

- Jon Winters
Although at this point I would welcome someone giving me instructions as to the next steps in life - far too many options. Maybe I should crowdsource it, but I am certain not to like the results
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Robert: To be honest, I think sometimes folks are intimidated by the breadth of knowledge that you and others on FF seem to have and your ability to engage in discussions. They may feel that they need to say something 'brilliant' or not say anything. I will admit that that I fell into that category up until recently. To your (and others') credit, once I took the plunge I found that this wasn't the case. You guys still know WAY more than I do, but that's one of the reasons I'm here - to learn!
- Alex Hellstrom

- Jason Nunnelley
BTW: where'd you see my reply come in from first? FF or as a mention over on twiiter?

- David Race
Will there be and end of this direction? Do we want to close directions? I think somewhen even directions become useless

There are 3 kinds of people in the world: 1. Those that follow Robert Scoble because he doesn't act like he's too good to talk to us. 2. Those that follow Robert Scoble because he is known to follow everyone back, and therefore he is good for "inflating" their follower count. 3. Those who have no idea why they are following Robert Scoble.
- April Russo (app103)
4th type of person follows for great feeds that generate discussion on FF.
- Mike Nencetti
April, you forgot the fourth category: 4. Those who don't subscribe to Robert Scoble but find far too many of his posts liked and commented by their friends.
- Scott of Two Countries
But the only reason why Robert generates great discussions is because he is part of that discussion. He doesn't just drop & run, or only talk to people he thinks are "somebody", completely ignoring the rest of us. While he may have a big ego, it isn't so big that he thinks he's too good to have a real conversation with us.
- April Russo (app103)
53%? That seems a generous estimate.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Rob: I have almost 42,000 followers here and 96,000 followers on Twitter, which comes out to 43%. Glad someone caught me on my math! :-)

I can't put my finger on it, but I feel somehow manipulated...?

Wow! It wasn't till I finished reading through almost all the comments that I got what Robert was trying to say :) FF good, Twitter bad. But I can't complain since it was Leo Laportes constant references to FF that got me to join and Roberts comments that got me to try and really understand what FF is all about. Initially FF was a little overwhelming and the only reason I've stuck it through so far is because of the higher quality of content for a (mostly) passive FFer.

Kostantinos: it's an open question how best to interconnect FF and Twitter. remember that there are a wide range of options, including sending comments or posts, and sending posts automatically or manually. the feedback from readers is helpful if it can be used to find the right balance
- Mike Chelen

It's really really faster... I can feel the difference with the upgrade to Safari 4 from the 4 beta. I hope the same goes for Snow Leopard when they talk about the performance boosts.

They hired the chef away from Google. The food was awesome. If you get a chance to have lunch at Facebook's cafeteria, take it!
- Robert Scoble
Impressive how I can see the stuff that's erased behind the secret sauce. I wonder what THAT is.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Almost all the offices were open plan (no walls, sit at a desk). It reminded me a little of Zappos, but without the wildness. They need a little more craziness there, but it's fun that people were riding these cool two-wheeled skateboards around (called Wave boards). Never seen that at any other corporate headquarters.

FB did. Does anyone know where the feed is on FB?
- Kol Tregaskes
I didn't find the link but I did find a possible workaround to make the link yourself. Go to your inbox and then notifications. You should see a link to a notifications feed. In the url of that feed replace 'notifications.php' with 'status.php'. Keep the rest of the link the same. You should get your status feed.
- Rahul Das
I tried that method Rahul and had no luck. Thanx for the info tho. It was a great idea.
- Scott H
Does anyone know what the link format looked like before? Maybe it still works, there is just no way to navigate to it.
- Daniel Sims
my feed still works. the format is http://www.facebook.com/feeds... the keys for both my status and notification feeds are the same and the method I wrote earlier works for me.
- Rahul Das
replace FBID with your profile number
- Rahul Das
Whoa, I just got an awesome fail out of FB. I tried Rahul's method, and that Firefox tab appeared to hang. Then I hit refresh, and got redirected to http://www.facebook.com/status..., which simply displays the message "1-AM-ALIVE_PROD_WEB". Epic!
- Karl Knechtel
just tried by entering http://www.facebook.com/feeds... and got the same message "The given URL does not appear to be a My Status URL".
- Scott H
I'm having a similar problem, and thought I just didn't know enough. How do I see my "FBID"?
- Stan Scott
Do you also need to replace UNIQUE_KEY in that URL with something?
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
good question
- Scott H
I spent some time working on this with a friend yesterday. My old status feed still works but it has a key value that I can't find anywhere on facebook anymore. The keys he is able to find with his account won't work with the status.php
- Bill Rawlinson
Cool. Well keep up the great work. I'm working on it on my end as well.
- Scott H
FBID is the number on the end of your Facebook profile link. Example: my profile link is http://www.facebook.com/profile... so my ID is 567536610
- Rahul Das
you can get your Unique key by navigating to your Inbox, clicking on notifications and seeing the url for your notification feed in the bottom right. Do it right and it does work. Verified with a friend's FB account too.
- Rahul Das
Worked like a charm... Thanx Rahul
- Scott H
Thanks, Rahul! I'll do this.
- Stan Scott
The status.php doesn't work for me, even with FBID and Unique_key. Any chance to see the mini feed page again? I used to lurk with that :P
- Daniele Severo
this is not working for me either. anyone find a fix yet?

Thankfully, I still had my FB status feed saved off before FB hid it from us. It still works, however, the Unique Key for my status feed, links feed, and notification feed are all different.
- Kevin Whalen
Just when you get use to something they go and change it on you! How are we newbies supposed to keep up?

Not working for me. I'm new to using this so I don't "have" an old one. Why is FB doing this? I just want blog readers to find my FB acct in this easy way.

I sent a question to FB help inquiring what happened to the RSS feed for our own status updates. Have not heard back.
- Kevin Whalen
The Inbox/notifications way Rahul first replied with worked for me. You have to right click on the "Your Notifications" link and copy it and then change it as he advises.
- Quintessential Studios
There seem to be two distinct results to Rahul's method, some people have success and some not. I already have my FB feed on here, so I have a working URL for my feed. Using Rahul's method, I arrive at a different Unique_ID (the key= paramater) than the one that's working on FriendFeed now. Opening the URL I arrive at by Rahul's method in Chrome I get a page that says "this feed is no longer valid" with a link to my FB profile page presented as a "replacement".
- Andy Kruger
Andy - I come to the same results you do. The Unique_ID of my FB status feed that works (and imports into FF), is different than the one I come to using Rahul's method.
- Kevin Whalen
from email
Doesn't work, I get "This doesn't seem to be a valid Facebook Status feed URL". Yes, I have "let friends subscribe" checked and when switching to Rahul's URL, that goes to a page (with a broken AJAX opacity making it almost impossible to read) it says "Facebook wnats us to be more specific, and no URL works there.

"[This review contains SPOILERS] “I’m the best there is at what I do. And what I do isn’t very nice.” As titles go, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is about as unremarkable a title as you could come up with for the first solo screen adventure of Marvel’s most popular mutant. It should have been called “Wolverine: Back to Basics.” Because that’s what this big, loud, barroom brawl of a movie is. It steers clear of the original X-trilogy’s weightier aspirations and with a fully committed Hugh Jackman at the helm, returns everyone’s favorite Bub back to his ‘one man against the world’ roots. That may come as a surprise to fans who know Logan as the guy who holds membership in practically every Marvel Comics super-team, or as the cigar-chomping, pep-talk giving mentor he turns into in X-Men: The Last Stand. but before he became the face of Mutant Marvel, Wolverine was the ultimate anti-hero, the four-color Man-with-No-Last-Name."

"Ultimately though, Wolverine is all on Jackman’s insanely muscular shoulders. And he is completely invested in the character. You can see it in every frame of film, hear it in every line of dialogue. Because he takes it seriously, we take it seriously. And that’s why the movie works. Jackman has a lot riding on this personally. This could be his last chance to show he can headline a...

I like the UI change. One minor suggestion: add a close box [X] to the dialog; I found out that you could close it by clicking outside, but I think it would be easier with an explicit action (or even "close this window")

Bret, this is far better, thank you. I love that we can see the short URL (this could really to with being on the share box and the bookmarklet as well as the embed code. The quick links are very useful too. But it's still just a link to the post not actually opening the post up to new feeds (i.e. with sync'ed comments and likes). Would this be possible please?
- Kol Tregaskes
What I'd like to see is the possibility to share the comments when you reshare it to another feed.

In fact you could combine this new share dialog box with edit post options and we could edit/add/remove the images, the link(s), the title and the feeds the post (the ability to remove from existing feeds and add to new feeds).

this is frustrating. More specifically...the retweeting is frustrating. We need to be able to retweet without a (via http://ff.im/2lx3d) at the end and the urls need to be shortened if we're resharing a link from friendfeed. This is driving me bonkers.

and a RT is nothing without mentioning the name of the person we shared from
