Are you kidding ?! Love the event title, "Masterbacon" wow! where's Mona? - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

I was thinking of Mona when I saw this on Upcoming. - Robert Scoble

...makes you wonder what he was searching for, and whether Mona has been holding out on us... - WorldofHiglet

John, I did a double-take, too! Scoble...bacon...wha?! - Jandy Stone

haha - in the time it took me to type my other comment 'Mona' is mentioned twice! - WorldofHiglet

WorldofHiglet: I just added tons of events to my calendar and was looking through various events. I don't know how I found this one. Just appeared and I thought "Mona has to see this." - Robert Scoble

That's nothing. I've got your "event for bacon lovers who love bacon lover events" right here... _________ No never mind, I don't have that. - Wade Dorrell

And, of course, it's in Portland. Bacon capital of the world. - Rick Turoczy

I answer you back, Leslie. : ) - Chris Brogan

I personally think the E prefix would be abused rather quickly. You'd start getting emergencies like "OMG I'm out of milk!" - Shawn Farner

Could be. But then, it'd be yet another opt-out toggle. - Chris Brogan

Okay, you've got me hooked, RS. Gimme more, please, Sir! - James D Kirk

fascinating concept "Fluid Info": "database with a heart of a wiki" ... love his accent! Interesting to give user so much control w/o schemas, permissions, etc. Removes all the structure, limitations....wow - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

ok where's part 2 at? - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

Susan: Uploads from Spain are slow. - Robert Scoble

Faster than China or slower? - David Feng via IM

Sorry - wrong comment... I mean, commented to wrong person... - David Feng via IM

Gotcha! Time for some coffee although that hot chocolate does sound better :) - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

David: I think uploads in China were faster. But I think the hotel wifi sucks. Can't blame that on an entire country. :-) - Robert Scoble

Thanks Robert! And thanks for watching.... I'm a bit of a gasbag. - Terry Jones

Terry your ideas are amazing... ripping away the layers of db constraints to open up an evolutionary platform for information mining / sharing is simply AWESOME! My db structured brain is having a tough time computing the lack of structures, but my intuition tells me this is right for the future....neat data model design concept for sure! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

Hi Susan. Thanks :-) BTW, there are permissions. You can have, e.g., a susan/rating attribute that you're putting onto things, and it's yours - no one else can detect/read/write/delete it unless you let them. OTOH, the underlying database objects have no owner. There are no permissions at that level. So you can put a rating (or anything else) onto any object (that you can find). No-one can stop you. So we're fully writable like a wiki, but with a permissions structure within the object (unlike a wiki). - Terry Jones

...much more complete and much faster. Plus, more interesting because we all get to participate no matter what "list" we're on. - Robert Scoble

underpaid :) - Glen Campbell

Heh. Underpaid and overworked! - Robert Scoble

paid at all? - Jeff Douglass

So true!!! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

Loquacious Lemmings. - Colleen

Radical democratization of media filtering. What's the tradeoff? - Chris Kenton via twhirl

splendid - Duncan Riley

... really good at scraping up bacon and LOLCAT images. ;-) - Chris Baskind

I have a new slogan. FriendFeed, free crowdsourcing at its finest! - Mark Krynsky

Increasing the number of people doesn't necessarily make the selection of material better. Plus, you also end up with a lot of duplication. - Morton Fox

Can't. Resist. Must. Post. - Mark VandenBerg

yeah, only since. - Mohomed=genieyclo

Totally ignoring this one too. - Carmen

Mr. Winer, I'll ignore the next one...really. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)

Gapers' block. - Logical Extremes

I can't. Blame my comment tourettes...LIKE, LOL, +1 - Matt Musgrave

Now I feel compelled to ask: What is it that you're testing? It can't be whether or not we follow directions because i could have told you that we don't without all the silliness. :D - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

He is testing the FF Api.. - Chris W

Will it break the sound barrier? - Ian May

Would it be woozles FTW. or peas FTW, or both? - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)

hmmm what's Dave up to? - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

Penis. - Orphan Spinster Librarian

Test post successful. Just making sure you know that we know that it worked. - Pete Delucchi

Well, that was pretty easy. Worked the first time. :-) - Dave Winer

lookin good! - Sean Reiser

cool pic! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

I love that picture. Can't wait to see more photos from Dave's system. - Robert Scoble

The FriendFeed API just won gold. THE CROWD GOES WILD!!! - J. D. Ebberly

forget the pic, I wanna know what you're testing, Dave :) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

I think there's a bug, I can't quite see that one guy. - Logical Extremes

Is anyone else confused by this? There are other ways to get images into FriendFeed, with descriptions, without having to use the API. - Mark Trapp

If you mean manually, I get that -- but otherwise, the only way to get an image in with a description is through the API. If there's another way -- tell me now so I can cry over the time I wasted this evening. :-( - Dave Winer

Or what about, while using the Bookmarklet, adding *online* images *other* than those on the current page. Is it already possible and I haven't figured out how? Anyone? - Micah Wittman

Yes, but that's manual. I have a feed -- and it has friends, and this is Friend-Feed. It's about flowing stuff using feeds, it's nice that it can do it manually, and I do a lot of that too, but this automatic stuff -- flowing data from one place to lots of others. Manual we can do. This is the new stuff (yeah new in 1999). - Dave Winer

Do you mean to include the description as the comment? You could auto-send an email using Mail2FF. Subject is the title, any images attached are added, and the body becomes the first comment. With tarpipe, it wouldn't even require creating custom code to send the email. - Mark Trapp

The other way is to put in media:title elements, and if that doesn't have the result you want, go to the friendfeed feedback room and ask them to make it work. They're fast. - Bruce Lewis

Come on now Dave, things have evolved a bit since March '99. - Logical Extremes

I've been asking for it since May, Bruce. They still say someday. - Dave Winer

Mail2FF is awesome.... Mark described it well above. you could automate that way - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

Yeah, but Mail2FF doesn't use RSS ;) - Jasmin Patry

The layman's way is to use feedburner and subscribe your mail2ff email to receive the feed by email. I think that would work. - Gez
