Re: Cliqset: FriendFeed Done Right

I think the problem here is if the inaccuracies are corrected the entire tone of the article will have to be changed, and the very premise of the headline will be even more ridiculous. "Cliqset: FriendFeed Done Right" because I said so.

There's still the fact that a lot of the "shortcomings" of FriendFeed pointed out in this article are simply not true. I'd like to see those addressed as well.

Before suggesting that FriendFeed was unable to do some of the things you mentioned, you should have done a bit more research. If you had asked in any of the pertinent rooms, we (the FF community) would have been happy to help. Articles like this perpetuate myths. Perhaps the title could have been "Cliqset: FriendFeed done for a simpler audience."

What are you talking about? You can do all of that in FriendFeed right now, and have been for quite a while. Have you ever used FriendFeed?

I'm not sure what's wrong with FriendFeed. What does this do that Friend Feed can't again? Instead this article seems to show a lack of use of FriendFeed.

Thanks for writing pretty much exactly what I was thinking. :)

EDIT: I see the issue now Philip. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Apparently it's a very bad idea to use Microsoft Live Writer with WordPress. I updated this article via Live Writer and it's destroyed my code setup. I will get this fixed ASAP - probably not until I'm home tonight.

Thanks for the mention Mike! I can't speak for Lindsay, but I will anyways and say she appreciates it too - especially once she sees this! :)

Dave, maybe you could create another private room and store user data in XML or JSON or what have you in comments. It'd be cumbersome to set up, but once set up you should be able to call against the FF API and "reconstitute" your user's data in this way. Sounds like one HELL of a hack - but it'd probably work. :)

Ugh - this WP design needs some work. Oy.

Re: NoiseRiver developer quits FriendFeed, says LOLCats to blame

As the primary purveyor of said "entertainment" and self-proclaimed "meme maker" of FriendFeed I would like to apologize on behalf of all of us for increasing the noise to the point where FriendFeed has been rendered useless to those looking for a dull, dry, collection of tech stories.

Re: It's not over until Bush and Cheney leave town (Scripting News)

I don't really know. I think it may well be a bluff, but I won't be surprised with a meltdown anyways. Either way Bush will never resign, though it's a nice thought.

Hehe - that's some hard core wishful thinking there Dave! I personally see the whole thing as just a power grab for Treasury and the Fed. Nothing short of nothing will ever get W to admit to any wrongdoing and there's no way in hell he'll resign.

There's the possibility that the Republicans will vote for whatever the Dems come up with and then when the financial institutions fail anyway the blame will be on the Dems, not the Republicans. I think that will take until after the elections. If stuff continues to look bad Obama will win in a stupidly huge landslide.

Comments are here for people who aren't subscribed to me on FriendFeed. I believe they'll even show up in FF since they're disqus comments.

As for an RFID chip inserted in the body? Ummmm... not until it's on a nanoscale. I don't mind being a cyborg, but I don't want anything I can see with my naked eye inserted into my body.

Re: I figured out a use for those FriendFeed Rooms

Now that I just watched the screencast of Jottit.com I'd say that Jottit might be an even better and easier idea than FF rooms.

The Nintendo DS is the best thing in the world when you're stuck waiting some place. I get the occasional odd look, but most people just think it's my kid's! :D

Well, now I can log in, but the text is so freaking tiny - not like the screenshot above at all. I can make the text larger, but then i have to scroll around. Since I'm on an iPod Touch I should see the same as the screenshot above, right?

I am unable to log in on my iPod touch. I enter my login and remote key and it just goes back to the login screen. :(
