Yeah, you can stop checking the Apple Store. They won't be carrying these for a while.

I feel that this is a metaphor for growing up and freeing oneself from the pressures of adult life and responsibilities.

Well actually, it's probably just a sweet statue of a naked guy being attacked by rabid monster babies, and then punting one as hard as he can.

I couldn't find the email. And I'm really interested to read it -- daniel at disqus :-)

Re: louisgray.com: What FriendFeed Needs to Do To Grow and Keep New Users

Personally I wouldn't mind a FF desktop app, if only to spare me from having several tabs open in Firefox simultaneously, each to my main feed. But yeah, it shouldn't be necessary -- those issues that make FF harder for casual users should be solved on the FF site.

Uh... Perhaps the reason nobody has bothered so far is because business as usual on FriendFeed was with the likes of Scoble, Gray, et al. who haven't a problem with the site as is, personally. Twitter clients started showing up when people were getting annoyed with the limitations of Twitter.com, so it's possible that some FriendFeed apps are just around the corner.

Re: It's The Interface!

coldacid — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:54:29 -0000

What works for one type of website does not necessarily work for another. You're talking apples and oranges.

Re: It's The Interface!

coldacid — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:04:09 -0000

The problem with that is that the design of the site informs how people see the content. Were design so unimportant, most sites would likely still have that horrible, outdated look they had in the mid-90s. So it's important that FriendFeed have a design that makes it easier to follow the feeds.

While there's no doubt a lot of consideration by the FF team on how things are laid out, it's just as important, if not more so, to understand how users perceive the service, and ensure the site makes things easier on them. This is even more important if FF wants to attract more casual users and push for the mainstream, as Facebook has done so successfully.

Twitter, or any other service which FriendFeed connects to. And it'll be necessary before FriendFeed can go mainstream, just like the suggestions you made in this post.

We'll add the news feed functionality to our integration soon.

Regarding the error, we're looking into that. Sorry for the issues.

Yup, absolutely. Expect much more after the holidays.

Make sure the callback URL is http://disqus.com for the time being.

I think that's the ideal goal for everyone. Today it's going to require a bit of cooperation from everyone, but all of this is in the right direction to making the experience a better one for everyone.

No, thank you! It was your article that gave me the inspiration to write mine, actually.

Re: Facebook Connect now available on Disqus

danielha — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 07:25:48 -0000

Yes to both questions. We wanted to get the bare minimum out first and work on improving it.

I don't know about jumping the shark, but I was left slightly wanting after the musical episode. I think this last season had some really great episodes such as "Who Pooped the Bed?" but then again that may indicate more about my humor than the quality of the show.

Re: Facebook Connect now available on Disqus

danielha — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:48:12 -0000

Looks like it's because you've chosen to only allowed registered (Disqus) commenters to post. We should have more granular control to allow FB within these confines as well.

Re: Combination Widget "People" Tab Not Working

Jason — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:37:59 -0000

Can you give me some examples? It only shows the post count for the posts that were made to your site, not all sites on DISQUS. The number of points does not influence the ranking at the moment.

Re: Combination Widget "People" Tab Not Working

Jason — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 05:23:20 -0000

The widget only counts users who are registered with DISQUS. Do you know if the users that have more posts are registered?

You're probably right, but I think a good part of it is that a lot of people aren't actually choosing the best profile pics for themselves.

Re: StarCraft II. Freakin' bad ass.

It was slightly annoying but I actually enjoyed the cheesiness of it.

What kind of computer do you have now? I'm thinking it'll run decently on my MBP.

Re: Reconnected

danielha — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 01:26:45 -0000

It looks like it is manual, but we are releasing some changes to the point system that we hope will address this properly.

Hi there,

You can sort the comments by clicking Options. That will help surface the newest posts.

Could you elaborate about the JavaScript problem? We're not aware of these issues.

It is a pain.That's why I'm starting with a 225km² area, centred on a village or small town which would be the home of the heroes. If they want to venture outside this area, I can start creating other areas of different sizes as needed.
