LOL according to my Google search results, I'm a man =\ - Mona N.

Don't sweat it Mona, judging from FriendFeed it's better to be a man with boobs and a vagina than one with a penis :-) - Robert Seidman

wow - love her gaze ...amnot sure whether it is come hither or fuck off you perv - viki saigal

Commented because I like. - Russellreno

FriendFeed is becoming a good source for pictures of hot women. Who would have seen that coming. - David Risley

@David: every website with support for images ends up being just that :) - Rahul Das

I wonder what will happen when we post full nudity on FF.. any1 know the TOS for FF ? - Peter Dawson

Ok just checked the TOS. IMHO, FF is ripe for Pimping Porn ! - Peter Dawson

Oh wow. Nice eyes! - Soulhuntre via twhirl

Yeah, how horrible! The last thing we want are pictures of beautiful women in our nerd space right ? :) - Soulhuntre via twhirl

Personally I think it has more to do with that 'look' ... - AJ Kohn

Peter Dawson, we've had that nudity discussion before. Hutch Carpenter wrote about it here: http://bhc3.wordpress.com/2008... - Michael Hocter

@Michael, ahhh thanks for the pointer !! - Peter Dawson

The incident is one of at least four that have occurred in Miami-Dade County over the past year in which photographers have ended up arrested, handcuffed, threatened, intimidated, or accused of being a terrorist. (I spent 16 hours in jail as a result of one of them.) Taken together, they raise the question of whether the First Amendment means anything anymore. "Officers do not have the right to seize cameras, look at the images, or delete the images," says Oregon attorney Bert Krages, who wrote The Legal Handbook for Photographers: The Rights and Liabilities of Making Images. - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

I keep hearing of these incidents - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

Of course, if they delete pictures you can get them back. Take the card out and don't take any more pictures on it. When you get home there are any number of recovery programs that will recover the photos. Sometimes it's just easier to back down and show them you're deleting the pictures, then restore them when you get home and tell your story. Otherwise, the whole camera might get impounded and you'll never get the photos back. - Kevin Fox

You would think that there was enough other crime to deal with in Florida without cops wasting their time bullying photographers? - Brian Sullivan

Wish I could say this surprised me. I'd buy the fact that he was upholding security measures if his issue were that the photographer was photographing a sensitive area ... but this guy got caught probably doing something that's in direct violation of the rules of his shift. Or maybe he was worried that the picture made his ass look big ... which it does. - Cathy Brooks

This makes me want to spend a weekend taking pictures in Miami. With a thousand or so of my closest camera-toting friends. - Chris Baskind

Things like this greatly frustrate me. It's beginning to sound a lot like a police state around here. - Geoff Schultz

Kevin, is there a program you use for this? I didn't know you could recover pics from a card. I thought once they were gone, they were gone for good. - David Cook

WHY?? WHY?? WHY?? lame-O - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

@David: if you haven't taken other pictures (or written to the card in other ways) after the deletion, recovery is easy. I've successfully used a free tool called PhotoRec in the past. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki... - Tudor Bosman

This is a shame. They were talking about this on TWIP a few weeks back and the guy actually stood up to the police. I believe they are gathering a bunch of Photographers to that spot in LA so they can all take pictures where they guy was asked to stop. - Matt Donders

Of course, this is also a good reason to get an Eye-Fi card. By the time you delete the photo it may already be posted to your flickr account! - Kevin Fox

wow those are some seriously disturbing stories. - Chris Jones via twhirl

Reminds me of my story last year in San Antonio - I had basically chosen to not get arrested by capitulating to a big, threatening cop with obvious anger issues... a reporter friend of mine at a major daily told me, when I relayed the story to him the next morning, that it wasn't really a story unless I got arrested. I mean it's getting that common, and that's sick. Story here: http://www.cosmictap.com/an-ac... - Anthony Citrano

I think there is safety in numbers and maybe someone in the group could photograph the incident. @TWIPPHOTO has a poll this week asking is you shoot photos alone or with others. - Bob

Nice article. (1) There's a non-liker. I've noticed a few people who post a lot, but have 0-50 comments/likes (as opposed to some who post...nothing...completely blank feed, and do all the activity in comments/likes). (2) I'm not sure if wanna-be-noticed likers exist. I would imagine that commenting & liking would be way more effective than just liking. - Mitchell Tsai

Hate to say it but I'm just "average." :) - Oliver Ortega Chua

(3) "Vanishing Liker" Liker who unlikes later (maybe related to the "like to go back to it later Liker") (4) "Caught by the cops" liker - Liker who likes 200/day and hits the limit... ( ---> (5) "Tag-team likers" (haven't seen this yet) Way to get attention on FriendFeed: (A) Post (B) Get two friends to "like" post (C) Just one person says "Amazing post!" - Two people would be overkill (D) Have one of the friends be Robert Scoble... - Mitchell Tsai

Mitchell, I like your feedback. I think I might add that to the list. - Mike Fruchter

Mike: I "super like" this blog. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

@Scoble HA! :-) - Mike Fruchter

8 different types? that's a lot and still I miss a category for persons who are not really aware what the like-function on FriendFeed implies. Among the german users recently someone mentioned the fact that "like" can also be used for oneself to find good stuff later again. - Matthias Schwenk

Love FriendFeed I am addicted and I will shortly be crossing over into the thousand comment/like mark. Deserve's a t-shirt hey ha!! - Joe Dawson (beta)

Matthias Mitchell mentioned that in his first comment, I will add that to the revised list. I also like the ""Vanishing Liker" , some one who unlikes later on. - Mike Fruchter

Big fan of Friend Feed right now... looking forward to continued enhancements and improvements. - Ron Emrick

"Vanishing liker" = like that one - Hutch Carpenter

I don't 'like' articles. I might be interested, they might be relevant, but 'liking' them has too many connotations. - Sam Pullara

Sam you define the Friendfeed "Non-Liker" - Mike Fruchter

According to your definition, I must be a selective liker. Although, the flickr content is so good here I usually "like" every set I see. ;) - Alejandro S.
