For pictures, imgur seems to work pretty well, as explained here: http://www.frenf.it/early... I don't know about music, though. Easy file sharing was one of the many great things about FriendFeed. - John B. - -

I'm grateful for having an extra day full of fun and craziness on FriendFeed and for having this space to turn to once FF finally closed for good.

I'm also grateful to everyone who wrote scripts for FFers to archive what they could, and especially to Victor, who gave me extra help to archive the earliest days of my feed when I kept running into errors. - John B. - -

Whenever I see #FF on Twitter I think it refers to FriendFeed.

I still have a few FriendFeed tabs open for the moment. At the top of the main feed is Mike Nayyar's epic thread, and it looks like the last word was "Bad" by rønin. | Edited to add screencap: http://i.imgur.com/OIMOqM...

I was getting too sad as people started dropping out of the feed and closed them all. Not exactly a dignified exit :/ - Jennifer D. - -

John, when I came home and clicked on a link I saw that "oops" message. I figured FFs time had come. - Stephan - -

I do hope someone saved the insanity sparked by Micah's last selfie for posterity.

I think Micah mentioned that he did. - Jennifer D. - -

Someone from Anatolia, Turkey region threadjacked a Micah goodbye post and blamed him for friendfeed going away. Hilarity ensued. - Joe - -

I wonder where Duolingo gets its images for illustrating vocabulary. Like does someone actually look at them or do they just scrape them off websites?

I like them, in a weird way. Normal, normal, normal, WTF, normal.... - Jennifer D. - -

John B. to US and Canadian Soccer
The Union are squandering a real opportunity to build their fanbase this summer considering that the Sixers are tanking, the Flyers are mediocre, and the Phillies could end up in last place.

I feel like they put themselves behind a couple of years ago (with the whole Le Toux saga) and never quite recovered. The Sons of Ben are really active, and they have good attendance, but I'm not sure that ownership really knows how to reach out to local non-soccer fans very well. (Honestly, a lot of markets struggle with that.) - Jennifer D. - -

FWIW, I thought their match with Sporting KC was by far the most exciting of the weekend. I like both teams, and it felt like they were pretty well matched. They fumbled at the end, but at least it was a fairly exciting finish. - Jennifer D. - -

winter plumage or female? - Ondatra iSkoolicus - -

I think it's a winter male transitioning to summer plumage since there are some bright yellow feathers growing in on its back and some black feathers emerging on its crown. - John B. - -

I rode by the bay today hoping for loons, but it's all mallards and coots (and one grebe) so far. - Ondatra iSkoolicus - -
