Louis - bummer. But it could be worse: my poor mother was almost entirely in the market (hoping to "catch up" and retire before 65). Now it looks like she'll be working for another 10 years :( A lot of the boomers are hurting right now... - Patrick Lightbody
@Patrick, this has hit everyone across the board. I was just looking at the data and saying, "If I lost the average amount I have over the last two weeks, we'll be at zero in eight weeks." Ugly. - Louis Gray
Everytime we have one of those 5% down days, I think "well we can only have 20 more of those..." - Occasional Headbanger
My like isn't meant in a nasty way, hope it turns back upwards for you and everyone else with large exposure. - Tai

@Tai, I never take "likes" in a negative way. I know people use them for their own reasons, to expand exposure, to note they read it, that they liked the content, message, you name it. Appreciate the explanation. - Louis Gray
Zee: Maryam is an English Lit graduate and Milan Candera is her favorite author. Plus I keep promising I will take her to Milan someday. - Robert Scoble
Lovely...might keep that one a potential for my kid one day :) - Zee.
Milan Kundera you mean? You did name your kid after him... - Harish V
That is so weird. I remembered the part about you promising to take her to Milan and that was a reason for the name b4 I read it. So, um, when are ya gonna pony up Papa? Anniversary? You'll have to change your story then to "plus I promised her for 5 years I'd take her to Milan and then I finally did and then...we got Fiji the puppy and...." ;) (I made that last part up for fun) - TheMacMommy
Lucky for us Lucian is past the crying part but Frank made him laugh and go all nuts in a little two year old spaz attack kind of dance. Not sure if that was good or bad. ;) - TheMacMommy
I don't want to agree Paul, but I'm being dragged kicking and screaming to that conclusion. - Matt Cutts
I gave up a few years ago and don't miss it at all. Now I use OSX with a Linux vm running under Parallels, and find that the combination works well. Linux is great for server work, but unfortunately the Linux "community" has usability instincts that are the opposite of good. - Paul Buchheit
The worst thing about bad usability instincts is that no one thinks they have bad usability instincts :) - Chris Lamprecht
I've just about run out of hard drive space on my Ubuntu machine (it's the SCP machine for backups/storage). Since I recently moved to a faster Wintel machine, the old Wintel is sitting around waiting to become the new Linux box. I've got a larger hard drive waiting to do it's job. I'm thinking openSUSE this time. The old Linux box will become my FreeBSD box, I think. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
ABC.com's Full Episode Player has hard interruptions, too. Very annoying. All the other networks and Hulu use soft interruptions. I wonder what ABC.com thinks they're gaining with the hard interruptions? - Andrew Meyer
is this some type of contraceptive manuver? - Chris Nguyen
Having just rearranged things in the room here, I will be sleeping next to mine, now. The PC it will need to connect to to charge is right next to my pillow. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
Same here. It's my primary alarm clock now. I promise I *never* wake up to do a mail run or check FF. Nope. Never. - Chris Baskind
same... Although the wife first ridiculed me about this, once she got hers she began doing the same. - Jim Goldstein
My wife has tried to ban our iPhone's from the bedroom. Not working though as I'm writing this in bed, on iPhone whilst she's still asleep! A-ha! - Nick Marsh
good article I do the same thing. I have been trying to get away from my computer more and complete tasks on my iphone, its like a mini laptop - Kelly Johns
Like Chris, mine is my alarm. I also go to sleep listening to Last.fm or use the iPod. - KevyKev
Tamar, I find that after using it a few days, it gets more and more useful. So you might want to give it a week before concluding that it's not helpful. - Matt Cutts
Observed a strange thing. it is enable when I use it on Firefox but not on Chrome. Anybody else seeing the same issue. - Atul Arora
That would be the 2nd google project this week to be canned. They even start to listen to their clients!!! Maybe the crisis is worth for sth :) getting google to listen - Jaap Willem
Looks like it still lives but you have to opt-in to the 'experiment' - AJ Kohn
Jaap, how do you figure they don't listen? They've been good for that for me. - Tanath
Damnit, SearchWiki is gone. I never even really got to play with it. :( You can join the experiment on the labs page, but when searching it says "The experiment you're trying to access is no longer available." - Tanath
Such a tempest in a tea cup. This whole episode has zero relevance outside the tech-o-chamber. - mrshl
Easy come, easy go, i kinda liked it actually - Majento
i never figured out how to see more than 10 comments when some sites had 100's - Kyle Weller
Hm, it's back, but I can't see anyone else's comments. :-/ - Tanath
maybe they are going to make this where you only see the comments of people you connect with? I just tested it out leaving two different comments from two separate google accounts and I can only see my own comment, but I can't see the second comment. Dumb. - Laura Norvig
MIchael, this is your wish. But it won't happen. You spread wrong news, and I guess it's on purpose. I use this function, and find it the best. And yes your sites will be commented. - Ryo
Cool share, thanks! (have you seen Nutshell - similar idea (Orli told me about it here on FF)... creating my Fuser account now...thanks!! :) - Susan Beebe
Last time that I used Fuser it was extremely slow (and without Twitter support) Maybe I should give them a second try. - Orli Yakuel
Hi Orli! I'd like your feedback on Fuser - Susan Beebe
Orli, thanks that was fast - awesome...reading now! Great post! Thanks for showing those cool screenshots - that Fuser Leaderboard feature is hawt! - Susan Beebe
I like Fuser, glad they came and showed it to me. - Robert Scoble
Cheers Susan...shame they have a rubbish site though eh Robert? - Zee.
Looks neat, but it's unfortunate that we have yet another service that immediately asks you to trust them with all the passwords for your other services. - Ken Sheppardson
So my only issue is that when working with social media tools like Flock, Fuser, and others, I need something where I can interact with a somewhat full list of components for each of the sites - status, comments, inbox, updates, photos, video...I have no use for an app where I only check my msgs from all sites. I end up having to login anyway to FB/MS to add the new content that matters and keeps things fresh and compelling....not just to check my inbox. - Rich Harris
Rich is right - I need an app where I can do everything for the sites. - Nation Hahn
Well i like Fuser i was able to add all bar 1 email accounts but only found out you could add your own settings by accident.The UI is great and works for me. Seems pretty fast too.As i said yesterday i think FriendFeed is a must. Along with other Social sites.The forum wont allow me to sign in or join not sure whats happening here! - Richard
