Thanks - I love watching real time comments - uber cool!

FriendFeed, if done right, could easily replace Tweetdeck
- Susan Beebe
I think the "Like" button could act as a retweet button. It can already push likes to Twitter. It just needs to follow the "stranded" RT format.
- Pat Hawks
Liked is similar, but takes up too many characters and is less known by general public
- Susan Beebe
@Susan that's what I mean. If I "Like" something here, FF should just push it to my Twitter status in the form "RT @whomever [Original message]..."
- Pat Hawks
Seems to me it'd make sense so have *Twitter* entries go back over to Twitter with RT rather than Liked... maybe as an option... but it makes no sense to me to "retweet" stuff that wasn't a "tweet" in the first place.
- Ken Sheppardson
Pat - Exactly! But I also want a "RT" button as I don't always "like" a post... sorry :)
- Susan Beebe
@Ken Right. I think the system could be smart enough to figure out the difference.
- Pat Hawks
It just seems that the "Like" paradigm is quite similar to the RT paradigm on Twitter
- Pat Hawks
Only if its originally a tweet. But then again, you may not want to RT that item. Too many RT's can be spam, sort of.
- Roberto Bonini
Yes, I should have clarified that (I thougtht that was an obvious requirement) - yes RT for items originating from twitter - afterall we're talking re-TWEET right?
- Susan Beebe
"Like" should retweet. I've been saying it for a good long time now, that liking a tweet in FF should do a proper RT rather than the standard "Liked X" that FF pushes to Twitter.
- Chris Charabaruk
Zee, that is easily the highest score I've achieved on F> ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
There already sort of is this function. Just send your likes to Twitter. But yeah, might be cool to be able to customize the prefix for likes to Twitter, so you could use "Liked" or "RT" or whatever. Would need the option of including the @name, too.
- Grey Drane
Grey, yep you can share your own posts to Twitter but it would be nice if you could RT anyone's tweet.
- Kol Tregaskes
yeah, you really need to be able to include the @username of the person you're retweeting. Just isn't fair otherwise
- Zee.
No, I hate the re-tweet. I've unfollowed everyone guilty of retweeting,
- Richard A.
Just so I know, you want to be able to take a tweet from Twitter that has come into FriendFeed and push it back to Twitter with the original tweet and a prefix etc... So the person who sees the RT wouldn't have to come to FriendFeed? Is that right?
- Johnny
Kol: You can share others' FF posts to Twitter, too, by sending your "likes" to Twitter, but like I and others have said, it would be better if the @name (when available, since not all FFers will have Twitter accounts) was included in the tweet that gets generated.
- Grey Drane
a feature i like: the fact that i can select which list a "group/room" is a part of is really useful - a feature i'm still hopeful for: the ability to expand/contract lists so i can see participants that makeup that list and go directly to them (was available in previous version)

Waseem Sadiq, CTO (left) and Khuram Hussain are showing me how you can send emails and messages to Twitter, Facebook, and others. It is in private beta now, will launch later this year. http://www.inbox2.com Does all sorts of useful stuff like forwarding, copying, etc. "It is really hard to build a good email client," says Sadiq. They nailed it, must try it.
- Robert Scoble
Very cool. I can imagine this being something to tie me over until Google Wave is released. I presume the transition to Google Wave from Inbox2 will be a ease?
- Vinko
Robert, thx for the plug! Everybody that wants an invite just leave your email address on the website (www.inbox2.com), will take a few weeks before you get one tho, due to the infrastructure we're setting up to serve u all :-)
- Waseem Sadiq
'a few weeks'!! we'll have all forgotten about it by then! -- you've got our interest now (it's about 20 people, how much infrastructure would be required?)
- Paul
Hehe that is true, but if I let you guys in now I might end up spoiling the zen like email experience once its good enough. I'll tell you what, if you are willing to try out the product and tell us how we can improve it, or blog about it, Í will get you an invite (waseem at inbox2 dot com)
- Waseem Sadiq
"less than 1% of the us labor force was employed as a journalist in 2006" wow, it seems like the only way to succeed anymore is through self-publishing and self-promoting!

I'm impatiently waiting for the new lists. Till then, I'm sticking with Twibes and even trying to get @NaNoWriMo to start a Twibe.
- Dennis Jernberg
Its not stagnant they just sit quietly and let everyone else design build the innovations - nice life actually
- WarLord
The lists won't add much without the ability to effectively follow a conversation. It's 2009, one shouldn't need to work so hard to follow a conversation on a website.
- Andy Bakun
Twitter's beauty is that it +isn't+ a conversation tool. If you want a conversation on Twitter link here to FriendFeed.

I really long for the list feature. I use a desktop client most of all to make groups of interest. It is really useful and makes Twitter an extremely powerful tool.
- Federico [Kurai]
Groups that are client-side suck compared to lists that are built in. You will soon see why.

Unless you mean a conversation is only one back and forth.

I am positively surprised to see the full tweet-conversation on twitters web interface. Things seem to be moving forward ^^
- James Kuypers
Is one of those features staying up for more than 24 hours in a row? 'Cause that would be awesome. ;) Seriously though, there are tons of features that Twitter could add (like a geo sort or "select all/follow") that would be non-intrusive but super helpful.
- Aaron Strout
I'd prefer they actually work on performance instead of little features.
- Spencer
I hope there's some money in that list
- Houseofmax
Not gonna really be drunk. Just relaxing. I can't drink like that anymore. Something happened after I turned 40. :) [She says as the '50' mark approaches ever closer]

Yes, last night was boring. I just ended up working.

Allen - new? --? founding SMCedu Rochester! I am working on a new chapter for SMCedu. I want to bring the social media conversation to higher ed. We need to establish standards for SoMe education. :)
- Susan Beebe
oh nice - i need to make a trip upstate one of these days
- Allen Stern
Allen - Yes, please do! I'll take ya out for dinner / drinks :) I am Co-Founder of @SMC_Rochester as well. You could come to one of our monthly meetups - every 2nd Thursday of the month. Oct 8th is next

It seems like Pubsubhubbub could add a note that hubs may send "update-only" notifications and take on the only real functional difference between PSHB and rssCloud. With that change, you could port over the WP rssCloud plugin by replacing the HTTP POST parameters and checking the result of subscription requests.
- Matt M (inactive)
Chuck Shotton's descriptions and suggestions are very clear - really well done.
- Micah
He's made a mistake in there: "PSHB hub implementations must cache published content while rssCloud hubs explicitly do not.". rssCloud hubs cache the digest of the *whole feed*, while PSHB hubs cache the digests of the individual RSS/atom entries. Here's the relevant part of the PSHB spec: "# The hub caches minimal metadata (id, data, entry digest) about each topic's previous state....
more...
- Matt M (inactive)
Matt, you got that wrong. rssCloud and the content are two separate things. The cloud server doesn't store the content, they could be stored anywhere.
- Dave Winer
Dave, but a remote rssCloud hub needs to store the digest (MD5 or SHA1) of the RSS feed to ensure that the feed was actually updated, doesn't it? That's all that I was saying. PubSubHubbub doesn't store the content either - it's only required to store per-item (Atom or RSS item, that is) entry hashes.
- Matt M (inactive)
I'm not sure it has to, but mine does. That's not the content.
- Dave Winer
I just updated my comment above clarifying my point... PSHB stores more hashes than rssCloud (ie: the hashes and IDs of the last 10 items in the RSS feed vs. a single feed hash in rssCloud), but it isn't required to store the entire feed.

"This is a short Random episode — 10:30 — and easily the most disgusting to date. I also think it’s the funniest. Imagine Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations if he didn’t need to edit for cable. This episode has some educational bits, but it’s focus is on enjoying the not-always-so-smooth experience of travel. Not for the faint of heart."

Akiva: Cotweet would be cool. I'm more familiar with TweetRiver. Posterous is a good one!
- Robert Scoble
Facebook... he he he... don't be silly!

Wow, this teaches me to pay more attention to bios: Jalada, I had no idea you were behind Twitterfall. It was used constantly at Gnomedex by everyone.
- Akiva
Hey Robert, I have a $100/mo Rackspace Cloud site, but I'm just a small blog and really can't justify spending that a month, so I'm trying to sell "chunks" of my site starting at $9.95/mo to others who are in similarly in my shoes. I'm doing it as perhaps a business opportunity, but also as a way to stay with the service and not go back to a shared managed host. I wonder how I can market this?
- Stephen Pickering
he asks the stupidest questions and he gets range of response !! what does that tell us ?

If you're going to show CoTweet and Seesmic, you definitely should show TweetDeck and HootSuite. It might also be a good idea to show some of the URL shorteners like bit.ly.
