WSJ: "Two Ships Hijacked by Pirates" http://online.wsj.com/article... Arrrrrr!
; -/
- VAL D. Zone
I know I'm supposed to hate stories like this but everytime I hear about it all I can think is "HOLY SHIT PIRATES!"
- tehKenny, Dork
That's probably a common response to headlines like the one above.

"Orkut, with 17.6 million users in India in October, is the country's third-most visited Web site, according to comScore Inc."
Heard some people in the bookstore talking about Orkut. They sounded like invested users.
- Admiral Anika
My Indian friends at work all use Orkut. The younger guys especially.
- Tad
The full story is worth a read. Here is the short link for your convenience. http://is.gd/5JaQM
- David Damore
Of the 1.2 billion citizens of India about 5% have Internet. That would be about 60 million people. Of those, 17.6 million are Orkut users. That is just over 29%.
- David Damore
Does anyone know if FriendFeed is broken?
Doesn't look like it's broken. Why did you ask?

Engadget: "Latest Apple patent app details multitouch tactile keyboard" http://www.engadget.com/2009...
This was from a shared feed in Google Reader. Thanks KyNam Doan. Cheers ;)

"Revenue in China for Mary Kay, which is based in Dallas, has doubled to $600 million in the last three years."
o.O
- Admiral Anika
huh?
- VAL D. Zone
China has a population estimated as 1,325,639,982 by the World Bank in 2008. There are many indications that there will be continuing increases in the sales of cosmetics in China.
- David Damore
And in other news, FriendFeed, Facebook and Google Reader are still up. Poor Twitter....

I see Twitter being down, for many folks, like a power outage. Everyone stops... rubs their eyes, looks around, and eventually picks up a book. :)
- Louis Gray
Pretty much. I was polling people about something, but I guess I could go... uh...

Hacked by "Iranian Cyber Army" according to TechCrunch -http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
- Atul Arora
I am mainly curious to see if Google/Feedburner will automatically tweet my new blog post now. That's why I even found out, because I checked.
- Louis Gray
Yes, Atul. (See the Google Reader share on my feed)
- Louis Gray
Louis - my bad. Was lazy not to scroll down to the bottom of the screen :)
- Atul Arora
...and I'm sure FriendFeed, Facebook, and Google Reader are seeing increased traffic just right now.
- Claudio Sennhauser
Then you should be using Lazyfeed! http://www.lazyfeed.com. :)
- Louis Gray
I got an error from DISQUS when I posted to your blog
- Ankush Narula
Totally. Where else we gonna go? FriendFeed is, in that sense and to some people, like Twitter's less hot but totally more willing friend. Dang.
- Jolie O'Dell
Ankush, I got your comment, successfully.
- Louis Gray
Yes, no one will hack FriendFeed.
- Jose Alvear
Jolie, FriendFeed is much hotter, but there is an entrance fee and bouncers.
- Louis Gray
++ Louis.
- Micah Wittman
yes... it posted to DISQUS... but I get a cross-site pop-up from DISQUS that wanted me to reconfigure my twitter connection
- Ankush Narula
Are we still talking about apps??
- WorldofHiglet
Louis is right - I've seen peeps get bounced. Good times :)
- Micah Wittman
Question is: How many blog posts will get written about it? And how many will have BREAKING in the headline? And... what's the point? :)
- Louis Gray
Isn't a daily Twitter outage almost expected these days...
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
This seems like a bit more than the regular outage. Am I wrong?
- David Damore
oh one more ... Twitter is like a really hot chick with a heart condition and tendency to get raped every now and then...
- Ankush Narula
A tendency to get raped... Yup. I'm definitely over the Internet for tonight. Peace, y'all!
- Jolie O'Dell
I predict FriendFeed traffic back up this month :-)
- Jesse Stay
Why isn't there ever a Farmville outage, it has more people and money is even involved....
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Louis, my question is how will you ironically work the word BREAKING into one of your blog posts by tomorrow. *taps toe...*
- Micah Wittman
Is it a requirement, Micah?
- Louis Gray
Interesting that http://search.twitter.com/ seems to be working fine.
- David Damore

BREAKING HEADLINE: Twitter is currently DEAD. Scoble is not getting smarter right now!
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
nice
- Ankush Narula
The phrase "twitter is down" shows results from third party clients, but none from Web. http://search.twitter.com/search...
- Louis Gray
looks like a DNS poisoning attack: curl -H'Host: twitter.com' http://66.147.242.88
- Paul Lindner
Tech Crunch: "Update III: It is suggested that if you use the same password on your Twitter account with other accounts, now would be a good time to change your password on those other accounts. Because of the scale of this hack, it can only be assumed right now that Twitter has been completely compromised."
- David Damore
Louis, yes, it's practically required now - MaryB voted on it!
- Micah Wittman
Somehow, I just got a new Twitter follower 1 minute ago. :)
- Louis Gray
Was it @IranianCyberArmy ?
- Ankush Narula

- WorldofHiglet
Back up for me

And now that Twitter's back up, I'm going down for the night.

Google Reader is borked in Chrome at the moment.
- raphaeL
That's unpossible!
- Louis Gray
I'm as surprised as you.
- raphaeL
Well not completely. For my main use of Friendfeed, it's not. I use FF to update Twitter accounts (several) from Yahoo Pipes, and it stopped working almost 24 hours ago.

I can't get to it via the web... but when you search for twitter on Google you can see the firehose is still pumping real-time to Google's servers

When twitter was on a go slow yesterday I missed out on answering a @namecheap Xmas trivia question. Now it looks like I will miss this hours. *shakes fist*

I rather like lists, it enables me to see tweets by people who I'm not following in context with others in their location/field.

Someone needs to build a Twitter proxy service that'll hold tweets until the service is back up online and repost them.
- Tom Morris
There is a major problem with Twitter. Tweets from people you are NOT following are appearing in your stream. These are NOT Twitter ReTweet either.
- David Damore
It wasn't LeWeb's fault. No one is even here in the hall yet. The conference starts in 45 minutes or so.
- Robert Scoble
What time is it there Robert?

Certain social media people have egos big enough that they like to think that they could crash Twitter. ;)

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles

Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah Wittman
0.9009 (6055/6721)
- Jason, Mosquito
OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF?
- Jason, Mosquito
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah Wittman
So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is.
- Jason, Mosquito
Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too.

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren -- Making Contact
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah Wittman
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

Has anyone, other than us 100k first timers, got their Google Wave invites? #googlewave #wave

Has anyone been able to confirm is they don't get invites themselves?
- Kol Tregaskes
Leo confirmed today that someone he nominated got accepted. They are doing it by hand so, yeah...
- Johnny Worthington
I don't believe I was in the 100K list. Tad and I were nominated on the day they went out and got in the day after the first round of invites. But we were nominated by someone at Google, so that may have made a difference. That being the case we both also were able to give out 8 nominations.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Did Leo say if that person had invites to give out?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm not sure
- Johnny Worthington
I was invited about 3 days ago and I'm still waiting :(
- Jay
OK, thanks Johnny.
- Kol Tregaskes
How did Leo confirm it btw? I wouldn't know how to tell? I only believe I was the first 100k as it's been said that only the first 100k get invites to give away.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol - Did my comment not help? Tad and I were nominated but we also had nominations to give out.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Negative.
- David Damore
no. Will patiently wait for one. No hurry

I was nominated by two people. I got my invite on Oct, 2. It was less than 24 hours.
- Mike Fruchter
Lindsay, Mike so you didn't register in any other way? You got access purely on the invite?
- Kol Tregaskes
I submitted for an invite a LOOONNNG time ago as soon as I found out about Wave. But I know that I got in via nomination because the Google employee is a friend of a friend that I didn't previously have in my contacts list and he showed up when I first got into Wave. No other way we would have connected. Update - just confirmed... my invite email says that he nominated me... so yeah, I wasn't in the first 100K.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
OK.
- Kol Tregaskes
Guys, if Lindsay was already in the first 100k queue and someone nominated her, wouldn't she be bumped up? That's how it works, I think.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
But would my invite email say I was invited by someone if I was in the first 100K?
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Just saw your edit Lindsay so it actually says in the e-mail that you were nominated. OK, I don't have that.
- Kol Tregaskes
My invite email says: "Thank you for signing up to give us early feedback on Google Wave. We're happy to give you access to Google Wave and are enlisting your help to improve the product."
- Kol Tregaskes
I was nominated 3 days ago and I'm still waiting.
- Mike Doeff
Mine says "[name withheld] has invited you to preview Google Wave!" Of course, with the name of the person who graciously nominated me.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
So the 4th paragraph here is incorrect: http://thenextweb.com/2009...
- Kol Tregaskes
OK, cool. Thanks, Lindsay. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Again, maybe something is "special" because it was a nomination from a Google employee? I don't know for sure.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
OK.
- Kol Tregaskes
I don't think any of the people I have nominated have gotten in yet, either!
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Maybe they had holding out, maybe they've got enough people, maybe their servers can only take so many users.
- Kol Tregaskes
The other day, Lars Rasmussen said that they would "trickle" invitations over the weekend and to be patient. http://twitter.com/larsras...
- Mike Doeff
Does anyone really care? This is a lot like Gmail was to me. I'll wait for my invite. I don't *need* Wave right now at all
- LANjackal
Just asking. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I applied for an invite when Google fist announced Wave but guess as just an ordinary Internet user was not high enough up the pecking order to get one. Will have to wait until it is opened to the general population. Pity as i wanted to asses it for elearning.
- Daryl Hunt on FF
Same here but I was luckily in the first 100k. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm still waiting for my invite. Tad kindly nominated me.
- Roberto Bonini
I have been sent one, but not yet received it.
- Travis Koger
from iPhone
Same with Travis
- Sofia @ SoMaFusion
I think there where just 10-20k users invited yet - I guess, the 100k invites will only be reached in 6-8 weeks! They are doing it manually! *doh* This is so stupid!
- Dieter Schwarz
I was nominated 3-4 days ago, haven't got my invite yet :/
- Patrik Johansson
My nomination was from someone who themselves had been nominated. They received eight invites to send out and I believe none if the eight that they sent out (mine included) have been received yet. My nomination/invite was sent last Thursday.
- Travis Koger
from iPhone
I submitted for an invite a long time ago, but didn't receive access. I was nominated by someone days ago, yet haven't received an invitation.
- Irma Vermaat
Irma I'm in the same situation. I'm still hopeful. . .
- Heather Solos
“Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can, Seldom found in woman, Never found in man.” I don't have an invite yet either. Trying this patience thing. Not sure it's working for me. ;)
- Eoghann Irving
I was nominated on the 100k day -- still waiting, like a kid waiting for Christmas.
- Rob Fisher
I was in the 100k and invited two people the next day. As of yesterday neither had gotten their invite. I'm thinking they'll start flowing after the weekend if they're really being done by hand.
- invariant - farewell FF
yes
- Leslie Poston
Just got mine - Oct 6 06:52 GMT+1
- Rob Fisher
it was waiting for me this morning.
- Jim in Real Time
Still waiting for mine. It's been over a week since I was invited.

People who build things are a lot more interesting than people who tear other people down. Congrats to @1938media to making that turn.
