xkcd.com is just plain the best comic I’ve ever seen on the web! And it’s about math and linux to boot! It has every thing from Stealing your Neighbors WiFi to the Power of Sudo. It even has cool forums to discuss life, the universe, and everything else.

A webcomic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language.

So Travis and I have been working on this new Facebook application called fActivity. The idea is to take all the feeds around the web that document your activities and share them with your friends on Facebook. Couple little use cases here to show what we’re talking about:

• Travis just twittered something oh-so-important and thinks it would be cool if all his friends on Facebook knew, maybe even by updating his status to what he just twittered.
• Daniel just dugg some way cool site and wants all his friends to check it out too.
• Austin just upload a waaay tight movie to YouTube and wants everyone to watch it and comment about it right now!

Most of the basic functionality for adding feeds is there right now, but we’re still deciding on new functionality and would appreciate if anyone has some input. We already know it would be cool to have features like your Facebook status being updated with your Twitters, but would it be also useful for it to say things like

There are so many possibilities on Facebook to integrate, hopefully especially with RSS feeds! Let the new frontiers be explored!

This is the first post in a hopefully long running series about the FlippedWEB team’s adventures with technology, mostly dealing with linux and Open Source.

This isn’t exactly the most groundbreaking bit of hackery ever, but if you happen to be a linux user, it sure can be funny!
