individual favourite posts rss-feed
yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. For each user an rss feed of his favorited posts. I don't see the use of a feed of favorited comments though.

well, it seems that the interest in this feature is minimal. A shame, because I really think it would be useful.

Yes we can meet up in Berlin?
I can't say for sure if I'm able to come, but I'd try if you'll just set a date...

I'm kinda curious if Obama will speak in front of the Brandenburger Tor. Don't think he will, though it would probably be a massive event, "Ich Bin Ein Berliner"-style. He's pretty popular over here.
A friend of mine is in some German-American student club and attended the 4th of July ceremony where the American embassy opened with a speech of George Bush Senior. She had her stand next to the Republican Party which kinda tried not to look like they were... [more]

actually speculation right now is Gendarmenmarkt. Perhaps I'll go too and take a look at the spectacle.

if the 24th is set we could add it to the upcoming meetups. There were various suggestions for a place in the last thread, I think we reached a consensus with Max & Moritz or somwhere else on the O-Straße. (Although I didn't make it to the meetup in the end, and don't know if you actually went there.)

on a sidenote: I just read in the current issue of city magazine Zitty that Max & Moritz is the inofficial club house of the democrats abroad. So I don't know if this actually the best place to meet on the evening of Obamas visit.

I'm cool with all of the above, except that Freies Neukölln seems to be packed everytime I go past there.
Some friends of mine opened another bar there which I'd like to recommend, the Tristeza in Pannierstr. 5. Quite low priced, a good cocktail card and they could use some customers right now...
Perhaps it would be best to set a time after we know where and when the speech will take place. Last I heard was Siegessäule, but this seems to be a bad idea. No... [more]

The crowds are probably coming through the Brandenburger Tor and/or Potsdamer Platz I guess.
25th is not possible for me, we have a concert at our place that day. I still don't know if I'm going to see Obama on thursday. This whole thing is becoming a huge political farce right now. The Christian Democrats and Liberal Party just discovered the Nazi-related symbolism of the Siegessäule, France and Britain are displeased, and the organisers plan a football world-cup-style...

Well it's the fist time I can remember the CDU speaking out against prussian militaristic symbolism. And at the same time celebrating the public pledge of Bundeswehr recruits in front of the Reichstag. Hypocrites.
Meile is commonly used for a distinct range, like Fanmeile, or Amüsiermeile/Sündige Meile (sinful mile) for the red-light district in harbour towns. Wikipedia says "Umgangssprachlich: für hohes Passantenaufkommen eingerichtete städtische Straßen oder... [more]

Right now I think I will go to the event, and would be open to a meet-up there and/or a drink afterwards.
I have a job as a kind of concierge at our concert, so I might not be able to chat there...

Me with a shout-out to amberglow (I don't really look like that), creasy boy greeting the Berliners who coldn't make it, and goodnewsfortheinsane. Maybe you want to list your shout-outs personally?... [more]

Tags in RSS feeds
Can I use this this thread to request a different pony instead of opening another one?
I don't know if it hasn't been requested before, but I'd really like an rss-feed for personal favourite posts. Is this feasible, or would it blow the processor and bandwidth load out of proportion?
Because with that feature we could feed favourite posts to our blogs or soup.io.

February Berlin meetup?
i'm definitely going to that little film festival and see one or two films, perhaps we can meet at a cozy plaze at Potsamer Platz in between, like the Hofbräuhaus? (kidding, I just don't know a nice place with reasonable prices there).

Some people I know run the Tante Horst, right across from Max und Moritz, so I'm for going there to discuss which neighbouring country we could invade.

I have to say that creasy boys painting of this evening sounds really enticing! It wouldn't be the first time that my bar was opened after a Long Kreuzberger Nacht to drink out of the taps ... (although we don't exactly have tapped beer in the literal sense...)

You are The Man.
Recently I wondered why Meatbomb was one of the few people I linked in my profile, now I know again. I approve of this callout, for the sake of humanity.
If it only didn't feel like working in similar conditions without having anybody to blame is somehow even worse (self-employment). Right now I'm seriously considering a call-center job like this again, at least an office revolution wouldn't turn me against myself then.

What are MeFites listening to?
cool, but though I'm on last.fm I kinda think Mayor Curley as a point there. It makes more sence when you use it in communities based on musical preferences, like a forum or community blog about a certain genre.

I walked by Kolophon's bar and it looked nice. Also he already offered anyone who says "metafilter" a free shot.
on your way to "Ä", were you?
Somebody just asked us to host his Live-Electro-Disco-Concert on that evening with 0gleich1 and die Garridos, but I'm not sure if I'm up to that...

I know what you mean. It raised some eyebrows when I explained to my colleagues why somebody should get a free shot when mentioning "metafilter".

There should be a table left if you come between 8 and 9 pm, it usually gets quite crowded after 10

Just ask at the bar, I'll be there (though not all night, There is a birthday party where I'll have to show up later)
amberglow: Yes, Berlin can be difficult! I remember after the first time I went there in the 90s I promised to myself never to come to this awful and ugly city ever again (beeing chased by nazis through east-german concrete slabs and all)
But now I can't imagine living anywhere else...
And it is probably harder to meet... [more]

is this odd? because I never saw much feedback on the AskMe threads (or the ones that I've responded to). But maybe my answers just sucked.
