'Broken Embraces' -- latimes.com - http://www.latimes.com/enterta...
Jonathan Lee, Anne Bouey, Mazaamir and LogEx liked this
"Something almost magical happens whenever actress Penélope Cruz and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar work together, and so it is with "Broken Embraces," a deliciously twisted tale of love, death and a badly edited film. The writer-director is up to his old tricks, creating an onion of an experience -- a movie within a movie within a movie, irony in each layer, poignancy that stings and whimsy that bites. Cruz has turned in a performance that is just as complex -- a character within a character and so on, all residing within the mysterious and beautiful Lena. Central to the setup is an impoverished young beauty trying to escape the world's oldest profession and the powerful man who wants to possess her. Initially, fate comes down on his side. Lena has gotten an office job, but a bad turn of financial affairs makes a trick or two seem the only answer."

"Cruz steals more than a little herself -- primarily just about every scene she is in, with echoes of Audrey Hepburn -- think the bangs and a pony-tailed innocent in "Sabrina" -- Shirley MacLaine and any number of characters who populated American noir. The range of characters given to Cruz and the way she slips in and out of them so seamlessly reminds you of just how versatile an...

Trying to confuse the heck out of Scoble ;-)
- Jesse Stay
Those people don't matter. Only the people who follow Robert Scoble matter. ;)

This is in reference to this conversation: http://friendfeed.com/louisgr...
- Jesse Stay
And so the debate begins. Meanwhile, we diehards aren't about to fly the coop anytime soon. ;)
- Dennis Jernberg
I believe compete.com measures only US traffic and Alexa looks at global internet users. So FriendFeed may be growing outside of US but declining for US traffic
- Atul Arora
Well, if you look at the Compete traffic it is somewhat reflective of this - this just includes December's data, which seems to shoot up again. It seems November was just a slow month, probably partly due to Scoble leaving
- Jesse Stay
I think the crux of the problem is that there is a perception on some people's part that a service is only worth using if it is gaining popularity. The message these people are really sending, is that they intend to capitalize on a service, and when it no longer looks profitable to them, they abandon it for something potentially more lucrative.
- Cristo
Atul, you have a great point though - global will always trump US with FriendFeed, at least at this point.
- Jesse Stay
Cristo, exactly.
- Jesse Stay
These people's posts should end with a disclaimer that their post is for commercial purposes, and not in a genuine interest in communication for its own sake. Of course, this would prevent much left over for a pitch in 140 characters. ;)
- Cristo
I am sure Google Real time search will help FriendFeed since it is one of the data sources for the realtime search.
- Atul Arora
Atul I didn't realize that - awesome
- Jesse Stay
It's just that for something that doesn't cost any of us anything, FF is top shelf for creating/building communities within existing and overlapping communities in a pretty unobtrusive and extremely accessible way.

Jesse, great retort to Louis' repose :)
- Micah Wittman
Micah, I love Louis, but I hate FUD and I avoid it especially on services I love and want to see grow.
- Jesse Stay
And Cristo, excellent point on those with intent to capitalize. Filthy lucre is filthy :)
- Micah Wittman
Jesse, I've never see Louis as alarmist, but it seems that in Sil Valley-centric technology/business blogging there's a tendency to telegraph some posts to defend one's objectivity as a reporter.
- Micah Wittman
Louis, of all people, doesn't need to do that; then again, for me, it's because of the trust built up vis-à-vi coming to know him on Friendfeed :)
- Micah Wittman
Micah, I agree. I don't think it's necessary in this case.
- Jesse Stay
Alexa's ranking system still has doubt around it's accuracy, and confusing graph representation; McAffee classifies it as spyware(or adware whichever) even, though it's supposed to have improved lately, whereas Compete's via Louis Gray -> http://ff.im/cKqx3 is fairly cut and dry clear
- sofarsoShawn
sofarsoshawn be sure to compare it to Quantcast then - Alexa matches Quantcast much more than Compete does - that's 2 vs. 1, and the 1 only shows November, not December, and the 1 is only US - the 2 are international
- Jesse Stay
Atul said "I believe compete.com measures only US traffic and Alexa looks at global internet users. So FriendFeed may be growing outside of US but declining for US traffic" ... that's certainly consistent with the shift in the Most Active user lists at ffholic (http://friendfeed.com/kshep...), and Bret's comments about growth outside the US (http://friendfeed.com/bret...)
- Ken Sheppardson
No, it's actually the opposite. Quantcast almost mimics Compete's results exactly http://www.quantcast.com/friendf... showing a visit numbers today equitable to last years; but to be honest I'm not familary with Alexa's new changes, it could very well indicate something beyond me
- sofarsoShawn
I know some people don't like the "signal-to-noise" concept, but I'd submit to you that if people using a service are speaking a language I don't, it's fair for me to call that "noise" from my perspective. Obviously that's not true for everyone, like the people who *do* speak the language. But just as the fact that Orkut might be huge in Brazil doesn't do me much good, nor does the fact FriendFeed might be taking off in Turkey.
- Ken Sheppardson
Maybe, but with Micah's Transloratize script, it's all some form of your native language. And lots of people here on ff do use it.

Locker Room Report: Dana O'Neil: Harvard Crimson's Jeremy Lin fulfills father's dream - ESPN - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb...
Andrew C, Samuel L. Jackson, Felicia Yue and 4 other people liked this
"He was an Asian-American basketball player, an oddity and a curiosity in the cruel world of high school, where nothing is safer than being like everyone else. "It was definitely a lot tougher for me growing up," he said. "There was just an overall lack of respect. People didn't think I could play." ... Converting people outside Northern California was more difficult. By his senior season, Lin was the runaway choice for player of the year by virtually every California publication. Yet he didn't receive a single Division I scholarship offer. Lin doesn't know why, but believes his ethnicity played a part. Asian-Americans make up just 0.4 percent of Division I basketball rosters, according to the latest NCAA numbers. That equates to 20 players out of 5,051."

"Every time he did something good, they'd play it over and over again," [Justin's father] Gie-Ming said from his home in Palo Alto, Calif. "I kept watching, and they kept showing him."

Pretty crazy all-aroundness: He boasts an all-around repertoire rarely on display. Last season Lin was the only player in the nation to rank among the top 10 players in his conference in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, field-goal percentage, free-throw percentage and 3-point percentage.

Then I would do a quick weight workout and a 5 mile run at lunch. If I...

"Can a Barcelona truck driver be expected to speak like a Buenos Aires banker? Can rules be imposed on a language spoken by 400 million people stretching from Madrid to Manila? The academic overseers of the language of Cervantes have taken an ambitious stab at it, unveiling their first Spanish grammar guidelines in nearly 80 years. The fruit of their toil is a nearly 4,000-page tome in two volumes presented Thursday, with yet another to come out next year. It was produced by the Spanish Royal Academy and 21 sister organizations in Latin America and other countries where Spanish is spoken, such as the United States and the Philippines, and has taken them 11 years to compile."
