Re: My Thoughts on the Current State of FriendFeed

I agree that Blogs, a social network, status updates, and Lifestreaming all have their place and I'm not condoning ditching any of them. I don't think creating a separate page with a Lifestream is intrusive at all. It's there if anybody wants to take a look and I also think I point to a good way to have it archive your data as well. I think you can have a local Lifestream as well as broadcast it to another service at the same time without any penalty which is what I've always done.

I admit I was pretty unhappy when I heard about Facebook buying FriendFeed. Actually, I'm still not that happy about it.

But then I start thinking about maybe getting FriendFeed features on Facebook, where everyone in my life actually plays, and I get a little giddy. I'd like to finally be able to have a good service with good features, and have everyone use it.

Also, I wonder about everyone going back to blogs. I feel like it's a step back from lifestreaming. Blogs have their purpose. Status updates have their purpose. And I feel like lifestreaming has it's own purpose.

I don't want to leave FriendFeed, but I'm beginning to try to figure out my place in Facebook. If Facebook is where they're going, I may have to go with them. Simply because everyone I know is on Facebook, even if I generally dislike the service. It would have to be another really good site like FriendFeed to get me to start over again.

And I've thought about self-hosting my lifestream, but I feel like that it would take up so much space on my domain. And for what? So, I can have it all? I'd rather it be pushed out to people so they can read it and comment. And they're more likely to do that on a site that everyone else is on. That was the beauty of FriendFeed. And it'll really be missed.

Thank you so much. That fixed it. I've been building the theme from scratch and didn't realize that was missing.

Hi Araceli,

The theme you're using appears to be missing the wp_head() call in the <head></head> tag. This is also why you may have noticed limited functionality in other areas, like missing rss feeds, the inability of third party tools to login to your site, and so forth. Adding that tag will fix it.

I just installed the plugin yesterday and I can't get that repeating icon issue to go away. I downloaded the newest version from the WP site. You can see it here: http://www.mysticalmagick.com/index.php?p=15
