I was watching inconvenient truth the other day and theres the bit where it shows the sea level rising really high and flooding most of the world. Well i live near the sea, and don’t want to drown, so i got to thinking. Maybe if we lower the sea level a bit, when the water level rises then it won’t rise high enough to flood.
Anyway, heres the plan. Everyone who can should take a bucket of sea water and pour it down the sink. If lots of people put the effort in, we could lower the sea level substantially and create a better world for our children to live" - Dave Riddell via Bookmarklet
Awww . . . there is no sunshine for me :( - Lindsey Smith
There's no shame in having more likes than comments. None. - Shey
My ratio isn't too far off: 245 comments to 386 likes this week - Lindsey Smith
Everyone gets to use them exactly the way they want to, very cool. - sergiooo
i'm at 168 comments, 191 likes for the week - but i feel like i "like" significantly more than i comment - interesting. - Morgan
If you like something, then it just gets bumped up on FriendFeed, encouraging others to participate in discussion without participating in it yourself. By commenting, you're adding value to the thread and encouraging others participate. - Here's... possible248!
wow Lindsey I thought I was active: i struggle to keep mine above 100 on both sides - Ruth Ferguson
AwesomePossum always wins . . . Louis CK reference (check) - Lindsey Smith
Very important point, which keeps coming up. Yet This is one post I Liked and not the hundred others. Hmmm... I guess, for me, subconsciously, it is dependent on who's made that post as well. - Parth Awasthi
ooohhhh . . . Then I'll just take that as a compliment. Thank you ;) - Lindsey Smith
exactly, lindsey. i may like a lot, but that doesn't mean they're toss-offs. (but don't be surprised if that is suggested to you now and then... sigh.) - edythe
I sound like an obsessed stalker, omg. I never would've thought he'd be on FriendFeed. omg omg omg :( - Mona N.
Some of the best relationships start with stalking. Besides . . . . now he can see how cute YOU are :P - Lindsey Smith
Nah, he just needs to get to know you, then it'll be cool. Plus everything we write on FF shows up in Google search results to the world. Sorry, not helping, am I. - Josh Haley
ACK! They do? Now everyone can see I'm stalking Kyle -_- - Lindsey Smith
I mean, why would the life stream guy be on FriendFeed of all places? ha ha - Paul Reynolds
With all the PR Mona gave, the least he could give back is some babies - Rodfather
Mona, really, it's not that big of a deal. We on FF tend to have some kind of theme for a few hours, sometimes the entire day--it's fun and it suits our attention span. Bacon, mangos, smurfs or some hot dude. I participated too--no biggie. :) So what, FF life goes on. What's on the menu for today? - Anna Haro
I thought you were talking about the software? :( All your other posts made it seem that way. You talked about rejaw similarly. - ·[•_•]·
I really do have a distaste for X.org at times. Is there a law that says it must crash or lock up at the least convenient time possible? - i80and
Is there a law that says Windows must crash or lock up at the least convenient time? How about Firefox? Actually there is: It's called Murphy's Law. - Voyagerfan5761
Perhaps I should just start using the terminal. X.org can't get me there! - Here's... possible248!
If I had to pay, I'd stop using it. There are many competing services that don't charge. - Morton Fox
Well, normal FriendFeed would still be free, and eventually you would get the same features as the folks paying. What I am really asking is, "Would you pay money to be first into the FriendFeed Beta?" - Here's... possible248!
If I had to pay for the beta, I would just wait for it to come out of beta. It makes no sense to charge for beta anyway. Don't they want people to test it? - Morton Fox
Independent of FriendFeed, no. If something is a true beta, I'm "paying" with my time testing, finding bugs, giving feedback, and working in a potentially unstable environment. If something is a "pre-release for the cool kids" with the tag beta slapped onto it for good measure, I'll use it if I'm deemed a "cool kid"; otherwise, I can wait. - Joanmarie
yeah, i'd pay. No more than maybe $10 a year. But i'd pay. - Zee at WeDoCreative
Interesting perspective. I came up with this idea in the middle of the night when thinking of possible ways for FriendFeed to generate money. - Here's... possible248!
i would pay a little but only if FF stayed competitive. Considering however how all the new competitors emerge like mushrooms and are all for free, not sure many would. Feedly is one good example. - Hayk Hakobyan
Tough question for the cheapest person on the Internet - Charlie Anzman
as in real money? how about some of those fancy virtual dollars? - Chris
@Matt I was actually thinking about something similar to that.. I have a larger avatar set now (I was missing a bunch of people) and there is a lot to fit. - Tim Hoeck
Well you will have to pay me $100 everytime you wear the shirt if you are going to have my image on it. :P - Mathew Ballard
2x, 8y = awesome, and honored. Enjoy the shirt, and let us know if people ask you who everyone on the back is while wearing it, and what your responses are :) - Nathan Chase
"And today, authorities announced a new form of depression caused by not being "friended" by important people on friendfeed. Apparently Dr. Wadda Frack has postulated that as recognition from thought leaders in the social media arena has become a form of social currency, that the "poor" among us are prone to depressive fits of outrage at not being included on the friendfeed t-shirts of the rich and shameless. To quote Dr. Frack, "This is very sad. The poor are always the last to know." ;-) - Bill Sanders
And Dr. Frack also wants to know where to order said FriendFeed Tee. - Bill Sanders
:0 cool, can i send them a higher res av image? - sergiooo
what a devious way to get more subscribers! hahaha - tagami
That is SO cool. (as I'm sure you already know) - Brandon Titus
So what's the deal, you just going to print on iron-on transfer or what? - Josh Haley
@tagami .. I realized that might happen after the post. FYI: new subscriptions will not be on the tee! I have the ones I am putting on there cached already (the pic above is not everyone) - Tim Hoeck
not to mention, these are the people I am subscribed to, not the ones subscribed to me! :) - Tim Hoeck
Is there a T-shirt service that let's you dynamically "program" t-shirts? I smell a business idea. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
And when I say that I mean a custom t-shirt for each buyer, based on a username on something like FriendFeed - Jesse Stay via twhirl
@Jesse Stay yeah there must be something I mean wheather you have charity or some cause you want to support there seems to be ways to get customized logos on shirts. I've heard of ways to even print a photo onto a shirt. - Colide81
@David no I'm not. I'm also on Dreamhost, so I think there's a button I can press somewhere that does this for me. Call me old school--or stupid ;) - Josh Lowensohn
Great plugin.. also Filezilla is a good free FTP client (and server if you want that too) - David Knight
In lieu of blinging comments and half naked pictures, adults use "I'M SO SMART" or "I'M SUCH AN INTELLECTUAL" as away to attention whore :) just saying - Mona N.
TARD BUCKETS == ROFLMAO ... awesome Mona...I love your humor...that was good! F'tard was even funnier - Susan Beebe
@Mona N. (monasfeed): But ... what if I AM really smart and intellectual? Given the average perceptual ability of humanity, if I don't advertise my capability they'll do crazy things like follow Obama and McCain! Madness! How can we safely guide humanity to a better, higher level of ability without telling them our desires? (Objectivism, naturally. Insert mad scentist laugh here.) - Alexander Williams via NoiseRiver
“It's weird how "Social Media" has only really existed for about 4 years, but around 80% of the blogs I check out are run by "social media experts". Was there a massive Learning Annex class that I missed out on?”
Don't you remember the learning curve post a while back? Self-proclaimed experts are the ones that know just enough to be dangerous to others with their ignorance. Real experts know that they know nothing. ;) - xero
nice josh! i guess i'd be half an expert either way :) - Morgan
I wrote a blog post or two on FriendFeed, so that automatically makes me the sixth most intelligent social media expert in the world. Yup. Totally. - Here's... possible248!
Jeez! Even an ant will never survive something like that! - AJ Batac
Well, an ant would have a much higher chance of survival due to the fact that it is less likely to be hit. If the ant was hit by some portion of the speeding train, then it is certain death. After all, a speeding shoe is also certain death for an ant. - Here's... possible248!
Very impressive. I, unfortunately, witnessed a train/car collision many years ago. I've never even thought of trying to beat a train since. - Chris Baskind
