"You know, I may just use this to browse around and check out apps I may like, because the screens/links bits on the bottom are neat. Then, I would probably grab it via apt-get/synpatic because I'm not sure of the sources for the packages on this site .. where are they from? Couldn't find it in About" - Bartek Gniado
"Nice, just having bought chicken legs at the market this Saturday this gives me a good idea for something similar.

"Not really. Some machines in the past for me got infected by trojans beause they acted as "public" machines, i.e you could access them through a url/ip.

From NewsGrange: "Yesterday, people posted screenshots of their desktops – the day before – pictures of themselves – tomorrow, it’s going to be a picture of their feet.
FriendFeed (or at least the part that I am subscribed to) is becoming a completely self-referential community that creates less and less value for me." - Louis Gray
via Bookmarklet
Agree? Disagree? Let them know in the comments. (And no, this is not my site or opinion) - Louis Gray
It's a little harsh, although I do accept that there has been a serious shift with FF. Where as it was once primarily a secondary discussion around posts, today it's a full blown social network in its own right. And I might add, it's a network I'm happy to be part of, and unlike facebook, it's one I'm happy to spend time in - Duncan Riley
It's impossible to create aggregator that shows exactly the content you want. FF can be fine-tuned with lists and hides to filter, but it can't be perfect, either. I think all the meme's etc bring the community together and makes them more likely to add more useful content, too :) - Jemm
They should subscribe to fewer people. My tech list doesn't participate in most of the memes and I don't click like on many of them either. - Robert Scoble
So come on, who's going to start the "Photo of my feet" meme? - Bec
I think tagging / categorizing would bring more value as I want to add both fun and tech content. Tags would help filtering data for my followers from my end. - Jemm
use the lists feature, which i find to be a great sorting tool on FF, and adjust your filtering strategy. personally, i don't mind the pictures of people, and their feet... it brings a little bit of humanity to what is an essentially unnatural activity...sitting in front of a computer, that is... - .LAG
FF needs to step up its filtering. None of the noise referenced on Newsgrange -- a nearly naked site, by the way -- would be evident if the author could exclude posts containing the word "meme" in the title. Beyond that: boo-hoo. Sorry to track our muddy feet across your pristine, sterile, unsocial network. People are noisy, and people have arrived.Figure out how to see what you want or move on to the next Pure Land. - Chris Baskind
I would have to disagree. Maybe its just the people but I honestly didn't see many post about the list at all. And also, sure there are many useless memes, but I see may great photos, news stories, personal stories, funny things, etc throughout the day. I don't know what Friendfeed your referring to, but its not the one I'm a part of. - Mathew Ballard
if you're only getting your feet wet with Friendfeed and playing around in the home feed, then yeah, I agree it's convoluted (although, personally that works for me). However, with just a little tuning of the rooms and lists, you can avoid most of that stuff, if you really wanted to. For me, I'm only peripherally interested in the tech news, it's everything else that goes on here that really strikes my fancy. - Pete Delucchi
Chill out dudes, it's not that serious bisnes. It's funny and nice to see what people has :) - Kristian Salonen
ff key: separate signal from growing noise - Igor Poltavskiy
I for one appreciate the non-tech posts, just as much as the tech posts. Friendfeed isn't just for discussing OAuth... - Matt Harwood
I agree, this isn't Techfeed or Oneparticularsubjectfeed, this is Friendfeed which means that pretty much anything and everything can be shared. That is why you can connect so many different services to Friendfeed and why you have rooms based on different topics. Yes, there are some instances of noise. But, I must say that even as I've subscribed to more and more people I'm not really encountering any noise. And the only things I find myself hiding are post in languages other then English. - Mathew Ballard
on the topic, i think duncan said it well early in the thread & louis what sort of site have you linked to, its a void except for this mindless "hating" ff now that its diverse post - that's not like you... - mike "glemak" dunn
I see the point but it's simply a matter of subscribing to the people who interest you/who post articles/shares you are interested in. I don't get it. Doesn't this person know how to do this? Was FF created for tech news only? The name certainly doesn't suggest that. You can share what you like, if the reader doesn't like it then they can unsubscribe or create a friend list tailored to their needs. - Kol Tregaskes
Great buttons on FF.. Hide, Unsubscribe & Block. Don't like what someone says, just hit one of those buttons. Problem solved. :) Wish I had them in real life. Granted I probably would be as alone as Wil Smith in I Am Legend. - Christopher Welle
After joining FF, my activity on all other sites has not slightly decreased, but I am happy with FF cos' now I don't have to login to all those sites just to see what others have posted. I log into them only if I want to post something. Otherwise I carry on discussion only on FF. In simple words, I love FriendFeed! - kunwar
Mike, I saw the site left a trackback on Robert's list. It does seem to be a bit of a hit and run. - Louis Gray
Bah, whinging because of FF's increasing variety and diversity - it's still social media, so there will be social aspects. FF's slowly diverging from it's original tech bias, deal. Use the tools provided, block, unsubscribe, or use lists to remove what you don't like or simply be more discerning in subscriptions. - Mo "Killer Bee" Kargas
Talk about linkbait... well, he got what he wanted. - Sprague D
I don't find anything wrong with a random meme when you are still contributing to the tech community. If the early adopters would like a tech list to dabble in information create a room and hang out in it! I happen to like a bit of diversity on FF... it adds to the value for me. Isn't too much of a photo meme the same as me getting pissed off on the 30000 Google Chrome posts? Or the iPhone App posts that litter my home feed? You can get tired of stupid, funny postings. You can get tired of random noise and - Kyle Lacy
chatter. The last thing you need to do is get tired of FriendFeed. If you are tired of personality and a community of diversity, go quarantine yourself in Strandz. :-) This is what social media is all about. Have a good day everyone! - Kyle Lacy
Louis, and all, I did stop by and thank the author for sharing his/her opinion. I have no worries with listening to the opinion and am not offended. Robert is fairly accurate in his assessment, as is Mathew (and many others). I have come for conversation on all manner of topics. I am interested in more than simply tech, and I hope that my likes and comments reflect that. I have begun to really enjoy the oddball humor and many interesting recommendations that come from everyone I subscribe to. Keep it up. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart
I don't understand why any of you who are involved in tech and promoting new applications would feel like the growing popularity of Friendfeed is a bad thing. Why would anyone publicly discourage the growth and development of any application in the mainstream? Is it only a great application when it's shiny and new and yet undiscovered by the masses? Personally, I get tired of reading the same tech posts linked by 20 different people. - Trish R
This happens to every social site - as the community grows, it tends to trend towards the kind of stuff that a large community can agree on, which tends to be funny pictures and dumb memes more than thoughtful commentary. Bolstering the rooms feature for more topical discussion would help greatly with this; in the meantime I'd suggest just culling your friends list. - Eric
You can't tell people what to do or share. You can just filter the people you find interesting, and make good use of the rooms and lists features. - Alejandro S.
I like friendfeed as it has become. its a community of different people and different ideas. to qoute public enemy "bring the noise!" :) - (jeff)isageek
This is what turned me off FriendFeed for awhile, and after trying to come back the same thing. I'm not going to call out any names but I got tired of seeing FUNNY PICS and just silly things that isn't new, just midly interesting, and most of it I had seen before on sites like Reddit, Digg, etc. .. My goal of FriendFeed was to be able to connect to people of like-mindedness on things I am interested in. Perhaps it's the people I'm subscribed to but even searches for things I'm interested in don't turn... - Bartek Gniado
(Continued comment) .. up very intriguing results. I've participated in one or two memes because I was bored but the FriendFeed problem is the same as any social-based network: You have your star players, they get all the attention, they post most of the links, and it becomes centered around them. It's too much effort to block/unsubscribe and filter it all out so now I'm stuck thinking how I can make FriendFeed useful for me. - Bartek Gniado
I know how you feel.. I can post a link and it'll get ignored. Someone else with a higher profile will post the same thing and it'll generate a load of activity. This is a central problem I notice across the net - it's billed as the great equaliser but it isn't, people don't have a fair shout because of human nature and its tendancy to coaless around "prominent personalities" and cliquish behaviours. I doubt this is a "problem" that can be fixed by technology as it sits much deeper. - alphaxion
@alphaxion I've had that happen a few times. At first I was kinda miffed that I'd posted something topical and relevant and got no response, and then someone else had posted the same link a couple of hours later and got 30-40 comments. Still, I still post stuff I find interesting, and that I hope others will too. If we don't post links, because we think that it will always only be the high-profilers ones that get read, then it WILL always only be theirs that get read! - Ian May
Kyle, you said "I don't find anything wrong with a random meme when you are still contributing to the tech community." The problem is when a bunch of people participate in every meme: those people stop functioning productively in the tech community. P.S. I'm glad my month-long curmudgeonry about MemeFeed has finally gotten mainstream! - Mark Trapp
There's something productive about the contributions of the tech community? News to me - a thousand people going "ZOMG Google Chrome!!!" and "Dude check out my iPhone!" strike me as being about as useful as lolcats but less interesting. - Eric
There's a tech community on FriendFeed? Where? I see a lot of talk about Web 2.0 sites and using webapps, but very very little about tech. - Jason Carreira
@Mark What is a productive tech community? - Kyle Lacy
@ian I know, I have the same philosophy with everything - I post to my site even though no-one goes to it, I produce podcasts that no-one will see nor hear. I don't care about any lack of traffic, I do it cause I want to. If someone else picks up on it, ok. If I change one persons opinion, fantasic job done. @jason we are there, it's just we don't have many subscribers to hear it ;) - alphaxion
It was just Sunday night - everyone is more relaxed over the weekend. - Jesse Stay
Agreed to a certain point. (I still like having fun with you all.) I will do my best to be more informative instead of entertaining. I will go for being 80% informative and 20% entertaining/fun. I don't want to treat FriendFeed like a Face Book or MySpace application or see it become one. I originally came to FF to follow some of the greatest tech minds ever and learn from them. I’m not apologizing for following the meme’s, but I will cut back from some of them. - David Cook
at this point, for most people (ie not tech bloggers who have a vested interest in staying on the cutting edge) fun and cutting up has more value than more information. I lost interest in friendfeed when it was the opposite -- when all my FOAFs became saturated with attention whores whoring after the attention of my early adopter friends with floods of links and already beaten-to-death analysis of the latest tech news quantum. I'm not including L.G. in this, but -- I'll take thedesktops and picture memes. - Jeremy Raines
I still find it to be pretty useful. I don't check it everyday mostly because it requires more time to dig through everything and involve myself in some discussions that interest me. Yes there is a lot of noise but that unless your FOF is completely unmanageable there you can often find some great stuff buried in all that noise. - Devlin Dunsmore
via twhirl
Looks like people have made the comment I was going to make already. Namely - people will share whatever they choose on their feed. We have our own choice as to *if* and *how* we consume this. - chet
The problem I'm seeing is that people spend more and more of their time on the silly memes - which I suspect leaves little or no time to read worthy articles that are shared (often by less-popular users), and certainly almost no time to comment on them, especially considering how quickly they get buried by the meme entries. FF will need to overcome this. - Aviv
The past 2-3 weeks have seen a huge upsurge in FF photo traffic, which is a direct result of the new photo feature being so easy to use now after the recent FF beta went into production (some of us were aware of how to use mail2ff app (which I think FF later acquired). So, I was expecting this increase; however, it certainly went viral when all these "meme" photos popped up. Early on, I suggested a MEME Room to contain all the madness so folks could manage their preferences to opt in/out. Cont'd....... - Susan Beebe
Cont'd....... Also, I think we're seeing a genuine interest in folks getting to know each other better. This generated the whole photos idea, which seems to have cemented new online friendships and opened the door to a plethora of new "memes" thereafter. I still think we need a "meme room" to filter in/out this new content type. In the end, this all may be just a short-lived trend. - Susan Beebe
as for the "silly meme" trend on ff, i don't mind them but haven't really participated much (i have very little time) - i have created a specialty list called "high volume" that gets most of these out of my primary feed/lists, it has cut down the noise but i still can go scan through them when time allows - works for me... - mike "glemak" dunn
Gang, is FriendFeed specifically geared towards tech, or was it simply the early adopters that found and spread the concept of "life streaming"? - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart
If Newsgrange doesn't like what the people they follow are posting, they can simply change who they follow. To whine about this is a total waste of their time! Talk about ironic and not having a clue. - Dread Pirate PJ
can you say *lost!*... paper maps...augh! oh yea, paper "trip-tiks" at AAA - Susan Beebe
good question. It is great being able to pull up google maps and get instant directions. - (jeff)isageek
I used paper maps.. and then came mapquest printouts... and if I was fortunate, I had NeverLost in my rental car. I remember buying a GPS UPS dongle for my laptop and fumbling it in the car at 2am - Bwana McCall
In the US, one drove into a gas station, looked for a map taped to a window and figured it out from there. Also, if necessary one stopped at a phone booth and looked up an address in what was called the `white pages.' None of these techniques work anymore. I'm only describing them for historical reasons. - John Murray
I remember being blown away the first time I saw MapQuest. I trusted its directions way more than paper maps or my own experience, since of course the computer would find the optimal route. I was so cute and naïve back then… - Jim Norris
I used maps made out of paper. I have had AAA for years and if I was going on a trip they would sell me this really detailed flip book with turn-by-turn travel directions to my destination. I use Garmin GPS now. - Brandon

I try not to use maps on my phone as much as possible because before then I would write down the directions and spend 5 minutes memorizing them. I've made it to some pretty remote and distant places just by my memory so I'm not going to just give it up and rot my memory by constantly looking down at my phone for directions. - Bartek Gniado

"Naturally, taking care of a baby is a chore on its own, but getting pregnant is my present challenge.

OMG. How about she comes to deal with my kids for a week. Or better yet, my former method of birth control: Toys R Us on a Saturday right around lunch time. I LOVE babies, but they turn into cranky 8-year-olds. - Cyndy
you would be surprised how many 1st world women are like this. it is one of those things that make the feminist movement a moot point when we deal with Madonna or Paris Hilton archetypes the male is disposable. my mother wrote a play in the 80's called "Generic Father" and it pretty much deals with this. While yes women are looking for a strong male for support, if their support system is already strong like in upper class families then this could be a libidinal desire to rid of the male. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
one of the mistakes the egalitarians have made is in assuming there aren't libidinal drivers guiding women. The more we learn about women the more we find that they have instincts just like men do and the huge mistake of Gloria Steinem and her ilk is in assuming that these instincts could be parallel to men. The desire to mother is not culturally learned. If a woman finds herself without needs for financial support, then her driving motives in looking for a mate could be very different. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
a woman in this type of situation might surround herself with weak candidates. Again her needs to mother and care for the weak kick in. She might even be very hostile to strong men... at the point where she decides she wants a healthy baby she might be more happy with the DNA of stranger outside of her sphere. How can we offer people happiness if we pretend to understand what happiness is along male metaphor? - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
I'm surprised the reaction here is so negative. She is right that her fertility is peaking. Have any of you struggled with fertility? She seems to be somewhat stable and certainly more qualified to be a single mom than some of the single moms I have known. Would it be better if she pretended to be in love with some loser for two weeks? I say she should go for it. - Clare Dibble
=Clare, I can't find what there is to criticize here. Certainly one always approaches single parenthood with some trepidation, but she sounds like she's examined the alternatives and found them wanting. Also, where does this whole commodity/doesn't-want-to-be-a-mother idea come from? I don't see that in there. - j1m
I think her attitude is a bit flippant, but there is some truth in it. Males contribution to the birthing procedure is only minimal. That being said, I think life is easier and more enjoyable as a couple, and having a child on her own will reduce her chances of finding a mate. (When I was 25 and looking, I excluded women with children. I might feel differently if I was 35). - Robert Felty
Of course Clare and j1m make some good points. Another good point comes from one of the comments on the blog. The potential donor could be liable for child support payments through the law. That is more of a risk for the donor though. - Robert Felty

Anything for attention... but there is a very real libidinal desire of young girls for a doll to play with... - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
I find the reactions here to be more telling then this little shocker of the story. It takes parenting a child to understand how important a father is. People seem to glamorize the fact that Obama didn't have a father... as if this is a great qualification. It certainly makes them very aggressive and introverted and perfect for politics, but in the end morally lacking. Bill Clinton didn't have a father either... and the list goes on in a generation of scandal we find that fathers were rejected. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
While generalising and stating a father is unnecessary is no good, stating people without a father become aggressive and introverted and perfect for politics, is just as well a generalisation, hence no good. - Irma Vermaat
I wonder if sperm are really purple. - Keith Shepard
no Irma. I think a powerful man without a father figure is dangerous. and I don't mean "g-d" as role model or a symbolic abstraction. I mean a very close talking and trusting relationship with a person who has your DNA. for me my grandfather changed me. I spent time with him before he died and it defined me. I don't trust people who don't have these relationships. Role models are so important. this is no generalization that should be rejected. you must eat... I make that discrimination as well. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
I grew up around so many kids that were adopted. most of them did not turn out as well adjusted as those that had a positive link to their past. My best friend was a Chinese kid who was adopted into a Jewish home. I hear he is now stable, but only after finally meeting his genetic family and going to college and learning Mandarin. His sister who was half puerto rican and half Jewish did not fare as well when she met her mom who turned out to be a loser. Life is cruel. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
@Another - Most single mothers tend to be poor and uneducated. Surely the poor and uneducated part has a lot to do with how their children turn out. Personally, I would not choose to be a single parent, but if someone chooses to do so with foresight (i.e. not by "accident"), I think that should be their prerogative - Robert Felty
Robert I am speaking about the adopted children of one of the wealthier families in Montclair NJ. The parents are both lawyers. I failed to even mention their North Korean child who burned their house down. Many wealthy famlies like John McCain's family adopt children from poor countries. The children are rarely as successful as their counterparts who have a genetic link to the wealthy family. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
