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

There are four parts to this video. One of the most interesting developers and ideas for the RealTimeWeb that I've heard yet. I wish FriendFeed has this search engine's capabilities. - Robert Scoble

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)

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)

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

“Testing images through the FriendFeed API”
Testing images through the FriendFeed API
4 hours ago - Link
There may be several of these as I test the new functions. They will likely be deleted. IMHO -- it's lame to make you go through the API to get pictures to flow through FF with descriptions (like the one you're reading now). Most people can't do what I'm doing to get this to work. - Dave Winer

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
I still don't understand why this pic and desc is different from any other. What am I missing? Or, rather, what is FF missing? - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★

“I am very busy working right now. Please send me an email.”
49 minutes ago - Link
It's usually so much more efficient and helps workflow to use email. I've always refused to be a slave to the phone in any case. The worst is the twat that calls to ask if I got the email he/she sent ten nanoseconds ago, and has completed interrupted my thought process. Usually the email is for something that's not due to be started on until next week. - Ian May
