If you come home to 100 puppies and 50 quarts of ice cream, you'll know your passwords have been compromised.</p>John E.

I like your idea of a keyboard shortcut for pause!</p>John E.

I've invested some time in making lists much like TweetDeck's groups, so the experience is actually pleasurable and not overwhelming. There are still some kinks to be worked out on the usability side, but I think we have a great start to the "real-time web". Be careful what you wish for :)</p>BwanaMon, 06 Apr 2009 13:08:48 -0000http://blog.louisgray.com/2009/04/friendfeed-reloads-with-real-time-at.html#comment-7907948<p>They do a good job, Jesse.

My biggest complaint is using the mouse to pause the "real-time" feed. There should be a keyboard command to pause it, because going all the way back up to the top of the page is a hassle. Another issue is sharing. If the new FriendFeed is about sharing, and I'm watching a video, with out pausing of course, the "real-time" updating continues, meaning my video moves down, and I'm missing parts of it. FriendFeed should detect that the user is watching a video, and lets give him some time to watch it, before continuing. Just my beta two cents.</p>Daniel BrusilovskyMon, 06 Apr 2009 12:20:38 -0000
