You have got to be kidding me. - Brian Norwood
Most ridiculous thing I've heard today - AJ Batac
That's pretty ridiculous. - Nick Hochmuth
If the porn industry goes under, the effects will be devastating. The ripple effect will be felt by every Tom, Dick and Harry in the United States. - Bjorn Stromberg
Honestly, I think they're doing it to make a point about the bailouts. - Spidra Webster
@Spidra I agree. It seems everyone is wanting a bailout these days. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
Betamax sales have slumped as well. We need to save these people. I'd like to see us bring back the 10cent squeeze me booths of the early 70s. NOT! - Dan Rockwell via twhirl
Larry Flint, at it again. This is going to get awesome. I hope they follow through with this mess - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
@Dan 10 cent squeeze me booths? Dare I ask what those are? Forgive me, for I was only born in '74 so I apparently missed out on this social novelty. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
flaccid sales? - Greg
Let me fix that for you: Porn moguls get free publicity. - Tad Goes to 11

Let us see if this FF comment synchronizes to Disqus on Louis' blog. *waves to readers* - Micah Wittman
Louis, thanks for the heads-up on FF2Disqus. I decided to go with just the FriendFeed-to-Disqus sync and not the "Full Sync". Pretty cool stuff. - Andrew Meyer
Seriously missing functionality, been waiting for this for a while - Mo Kargas
I tried to add Disqus to my blog (blogger template) but I kept getting an error. Has anyone run into that or know how to fix it? - Amani
Have selected Full Sync but so far not seen any activity but then again it's only really me responding to the off chance comments and testing ha! - Joe Dawson
Joe, looks like it worked! - Carter Rabasa

I would suggest an 11th reason: I don't follow you on Twitter if I can subscribe to your feeds on FriendFeed. - lelapin
I'll still follow people on Twitter if they're also on FriendFeed. Why? Because I use Twitter at the same time I'm not using FriendFeed, and vice versa. If I only follow you on one or the other, I might miss out on something useful during one of those times that I only see one service, not both. - Chris Charabaruk for Hire
When blogging was in its infancy, people wrote thoughtful pieces to help people get it. New media follow patterns. - tom matrullo
@Chris if the person you follow is on FriendFeed and has his Tweets added to his feeds there you can't miss anything then. What you would miss are all the tweets from others who do not have an account on Friendfeed. - lelapin

Accident-explanatory slings
Show all
Tuesday at 12:27 pm - kickstyle.info - Link
For all who are getting annoyed answering the same “How this happen” question, Andre Montejorge designed couple of funny and practical slings, aiming to save you the wording, but still illustrating the accident in a comic way. - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet
clever - Hao Chen
No liquor bottle? - Andrew Smith
true, a self-immolating accident from a drunken binge is missing - Cee Bee
That makes it easier when asked constantly "what happened' LOL - Summer
Where's the drunken bar brawl?? - Clay Newton
Or ninja attack? - Jemm
Or the "my relative pushed me down the stairs because they wanted to be the sole beneficiary of my father's will"? - Spidra Webster
do they have one for the ski-lift guy? - Jim Jannotti
They do, Jim, but it's a cup. - Spidra Webster
Please tell me that's not your experience, Spidra!!? - Josh Haley
No, Josh, I was trying to make a funny. - Spidra Webster

I need a "failed leap from a picnic table to a tree limb" one for my son right now. - Dave Roth
I like - Adriana
I broke my arm in elementary school when I tripped over a welcome mat while I was trying to moon walk. I wonder what that sling would look like. - E.M.
LOL. Those are so cool! I would say "I want!" but...um...I really don't - Mary DeSive
they should stock these in every school nurse's office across the land - Pete D
I'd hate to see underwear versions of this. - Mark Krynsky

"Simply highlight any text in the body of this post and a ‘Respond’ bubble should fade in near your mouse. As in Ubiquity, the bubble maintains a low opacity in order to be fairly unobtrusive unless you mouse over it. Clicking the respond button scrolls you to the comment box where it is now populated with the an html blockquote of the selected text." - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
nice idea .. I like the immediacy and ease of use behind the idea - Steven Hodson
pls add this to FF :) - Chris Hofmann
incidentally, the ride is nice, but the bike "racks" are horrible - very difficult to use without injuring your fellow passengers... - Ryan
I think FF's works great - via bookmarklet, of course - highlight text, then click the Share on Friendfeed bookmark - it's ready to go (only minor request would be to be able to then highlight and share more to the post thread, via subsequent clicks of the bookmarklet) - Christopher Galtenberg
Wow, that's cool idea. Works well and it's much more faster then copypaste. - Kristian Salonen (krisu)
Any of you know how to intergrate this with wordpress? - Greg
The web should have been built with this - Christopher Galtenberg
Nice idea. I can see that one getting out there fast. - Peter Simard

The new mainstream

Want a preview of how Mainstream Media will look in the coming years? Go stand in front of the mirror. The next Mainstream Media is you. - Chris Baskind
Yay! This was posted with SUP and MediaRSS -- and FeedBurner is still enabled. - Chris Baskind
The way we consume the media has changed quickly. I'm not restricted to the time and place anymore. Only restriction nowadays is a dead battery. But last week I found a solution for that, too. I can read my feeds and browse the internet almost anywhere. Mainly in buses and trains, sometimes in beerhouses. At home I have a small digital TV converter connected to the PC. It has changed the way I watch TV completely. Once a week I do the programming and PC saves all the stuff I.m interested of. And I can skip all the ads. Right now I don't even own a TV as we have learnt to know it. (comment via Disqus by BitterEnd) - Chris Baskind
An interesting viewpoint - I agree with much of it. There is one part that is missing that I can't quite fill in though. Look at the teeming masses - they LOVE their television, they love to be passively entertained. Do you really think average joe and jane are going to give that up anytime soon? Seems like as long as the average people survive and gather together to watch their average media, there will be a place for mass appeal advertising. Not saying they don't use the web too, but I feel like we can't ignore the fact that much of society is still rooted in it's old ways. Perhaps in a few decades things will look different. I think it's headed int he direction you speak, and we certainly have many obsolete technologies walking amongst us now. The future will be interesting. (comment via Disqus by Adam Singer) - Chris Baskind
Great read. (comment via Disqus by AroundHarlem.com) - Chris Baskind
What an great post. well written and thought provoking. I was waiting for this year to roll around. :) (comment via Disqus by phil campbell) - Chris Baskind
Did I miss something?!!?!? How are your Disqus comments feeding into this thread on FriendFeed?!?!? Or are you manually entering those? PS. great post. - Justin Korn
Behold! FF to Disqus sync. Works both ways. Awesome: https://ff2disqus.appspot.com/ - Chris Baskind
By the way, I don't know how well the sync is working yet. Just enabled it. I would prefer a native Disqus solution, and expect they are working on one. - Chris Baskind via IM

I'm having the same problem Tobias... I voted for one category and it seems to have blocked me from voting in any other category. :( - Michael Leggett
Only one member of our household has been able to vote. Others get the "You've already voted..." message. Different people on different computers, but same internet connection. Tried again today, but apparently need to wait a full 24 hours (supposedly you can vote once a day). - Anne Bouey
