It's very addictive - once you get into it. At least it's not a "time-waster". The wealth of information and news I find here is valuable for me. - saskia
I am learning how to use it effectively, as well as for fun. It seems to be able to do both now that rooms have been added. - Paul Barton
its interesting but is taking a while for me to figure out - raincloudcat
What is so great about friendfeed is it is a depository of all the popular social medias online. It does not replace any of them. For example to really use twitter, you much either go to twitter's website or use 3rd party software like Twirl. I love friendfeed because I can share what I read online with others very easily. - Brandon
Yep, for someone whose not that tech-savvy it can be somewhat difficult to comprehend but with agile high-speed minds like me, it's like boxing for 15 years and being in your greatest shape (don't ask me about reminding me that simple real-life responsibilities where I do suck have specific schedules and patterns to follow, contrary to the undefined sleep timeline of the web) - Zu aka ElijahBailey
If you are into socialization online, then try using Flock. It is a Firefox based browser with added programs that makes socializing online a lot easier. Flock can use most Firefox addons. - Brandon
I wonder if there is really a privacy issue online. What you do not give out online can never be known online. Have a good firewall, avti-virus, spyware software, and watch out for scams. If one uses common sense online as in day-to-day life, then one does not need to worry about privacy issues. - Brandon
I agree it should allow the audience to really Jell - Todd Cochrane
Hey Todd, another great place for the Ohana to participate in the Geek News Central podcast happenings. - Sam Garcia

I know.. I am trying to get it downloaded.. I think it'll only get worse before it gets better. - Mike Wills
Tried to download, now that ver. 3 is up, but all the "million" downloads have dragged the site down. - brie sansotta
Here's what Firefox admin told me:we're having a few technical glitches because of the high traffic to the site, check back in a little while.

I just watched the round table and enjoyed what was visible through gottomeeting. I wouldn't use it often enough to get the service myesef but I really enjoyed the recording. How is that aspect done (recording) - Mike Abair
Just saw the roundtable. I really enjoyed it. Lot of work from Andy to review the HP UMPC. - brie sansotta
Don't let 'em get to ya! - and more importantly: don't change. Obviously you're doing fine - otherwise you wouldn't have all of us listening to your podcast etc. I do not always share your opinion - so what? Life would be boring if we'd all agree about everything. - saskia
That must bug you Todd but Try not to let it get to you. Some people are like that. Howeer they will most likely be listening to future podcasts to see if you give them any more airtime or byes). - Mike Abair
re: today's Podcast: Hey Todd, had to smirk when I heard you say that "all your video are belong to us" was grammatically wrong. Yes it is wrong, ...but... actually, whenever you hear something that includes "are belong to us" it's probably "gamer-humor", making fun of bad translations in the (very old) game named "Zero Wing" where one sentence was translated from Japanese to English as "all your base are belong to us". I linked to the wiki that explains a little of the phenomenon :) - saskia
