OMG who's Steve talking about there? lol - Susan Beebe

Susan: he's talking about Twitter. They've turned off his favorite features. This quote was from yesterday's Gillmor Gang. - Robert Scoble

I just re-installed XP (from Ubuntu) and installed Gtalk, then twitter takes away. what a cruel turn. - rambn via Alert Thingy

The track feature was my favorite feature as well. I hope it comes back soon. - Brian Sloane

I preferred him on the show before with Chris Messina [on Microsoft being stupid] “..And there’s no indication of that from anybody except the Office and Windows groups… who are about to be put into a large container and thrown food in from the top.” - Jamie

@rambn hope you didn't ditch ubuntu just to get gtalk...It's just a jabber/xmpp client. Pidgin will give you the same twitter fix under ubuntu (when twitter is working) - James

I want my heroin back ! - Adrian via twhirl

more like cocaine. both'll string you out, but coke makes you hyper (eh, robert?) - marty nickel via twhirl

Sounds bad... there could be much of trouble for Twitter if they can't solve things soon enough. - Daniel Schildt

Honestly, even with the limitations of features on friendfeed and a more limited network (on my part) I am now posting just about everything I post here. - Jeremy Kunz

I like to post on Twitter, but then check back here for replies. When the majority of my network moves here, I may move over here entirely. The SMS posting of Twitter is just too easy from a mobile phone. - Jesse Stay

I wonder if comp.sci students of the future will study the fail whale. - Mark Derricutt

Fail wail, too funny. - Colby Olson

@Jesse - I do the same. Use twitter as the conversation catalyst, Friendfeed to expand the conversation. I'll follow the discussion wherever folks want to take it, although not having the same groups of friends across socnets complicates things. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I hope Twitter people know how to develop 2-3 parallel systems, and do a good switchover (one which allows switchback, and doesn't lose data during transitions). Hopefully they've got checkpoints, audit logs, rollback, among other database 101 stuff. For example, they could allow switching into a temporary system which only holds ~1 day of data (after informing Twitter users that they won't be able to access old history for 24 hrs). - Mitchell Tsai

Brian: I prefer not having same group of "friends". keeps things fresh. - rambn via Alert Thingy

I really don't understand how it can take months. Are they just starting now? Why weren't these problems understood and a plan developed months ago. Ev and Biz may be nice guys but from the sounds of it they are not all that competent. They have months of money but I doubt they have that long remaining in user goodwill. - Brian Sullivan

Brian: I think they are setting expectations properly. These things do not get fixed overnight. Blogger had similar problems and it took a while for them to fix. - Robert Scoble

they had no plan from the outset. no wonder why twitter is a train wreck. - rambn via Alert Thingy

Blogger had the same problems? -- and no lesson was learned from that? Or maybe the lesson was I can produce crap, take forever to get it working properly and still sell it for a gazillion dolars? Geez -- the whole SV ecosystem must be fucked up if that is the attitude. Whose money are the VCs using to fund these kinds of fiascos? - Brian Sullivan

Brian: in a way, the problems are similar, but not the same. I think this stuff all was covered in the video yesterday. You should watch it. - Robert Scoble

when facebook roll out their new redesign, with a deeper integration with social site for the news feed, twitter will be in trouble. solve the issue now! - Truong Nguyen

I do appreciate them being honest. Now we as users have more information to decide whether or not to continue using their service. - Jason Kaneshiro

Well I watched the video and didn't see anything there in the way of useful information. I really think you were very kind and maybe overly friendly. The tough questions about the personal competency of the people in the room didn't get answered (and maybe there was no way to really ask those questions). I really wonder how somebody could plunk down $15 million with the kind of cavalier "aw shucks" attititude that Ev and Biz seem to have. - Brian Sullivan

I really do hope they can fix the issues because Twitter is such a useful application. I know people are getting frustrated but it would be a huge tragedy to lose Twitter. - Paul L. McCord Jr.

Just ran some numbers. Robert Scoble is only 25% of the load of these top 8 bloggers: #msgs (#msgs x #followers) - Robert Scoble 12,346 (320 Million) - Guy Kawasaki 14,322 (186M) - Chris Pirillo 13,470 (165M) - Chris Brogan 18,259 (160M) - Jason Calacanis 4,618 (125M) - Jim Long 18.191 (117M) - Bloggers Blog 9,931 (106M) - TWIT Live 9,753 (104M) = ~1.3 Billion outgoing messages to followers (Actual number of msgs probably 50-75% lower because #followers increases over time) - Mitchell Tsai

“Question of the day: Can you copyright your Twitter stream? Can anyone republish anyone's twitter stream? Thoughts?”

May 9 at 9:52 am - Link

Russellreno, Adam Gershenbaum, dan, chantelle and 2 other people liked this

IANAL, but I think that legally your Twitter stream is copyright to you, and nobody can republish it without your consent. Twitter certainly doesn't own your stream, according to its TOS. In practice, I think anyone should be allowed to republish anyone's Twitter stream, as long as it's clearly attributed. - Brent Newhall

Why twitter is so important - it's like any other illegal ways of re-publishing?! Or smthng more? - Erhan Erdogan

And if it is important, Friendfeed team must be in prison first :D - Erhan Erdogan

You wrote it, you own it, assuming you don't sign those rights to twitter as part of the ToS (which I don't think you do). - James Spinks

James: Nope, the Twitter TOS is clear: "We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to the Twitter service." http://twitter.com/tos - Brent Newhall

I believe it is copyrighted to you default. Unless you say otherwise. - Chris Nixon

no one single person could hope to police the Internet for their own content, in or out of context. The copyright would not matter, the words will move too fast onto other sites, which would cause a logistical nightmare, huge costs, and little recovery. I know this sounds like the MPAA/RIAA copyright terrorism, but if we end up there with twitter, what a waste of time, resources, and people to hunt down 140 words or less. - dan

Dan makes good points. I also would think the content in your twitter stream would fall under the DMCA like most content on the web http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... - Adam Gershenbaum via Alert Thingy

Oftentimes Google engineers like to post unreleased code on display booths at consumer tradeshows. This could be a huge security breach. Never can be too careful. </snark> - Jason Shellen

Hmmm... maybe if you drove in there with a van with cameras on the roof they would let you? ...via AlertThingy - Nathan Manley

That's pretty hypocritical of them. After all, they're going around taking street-level photos and invading people's privacy. How can they disallow photos of their booth with a straight face (and with impunity)? It's wrong. - Raoul Pop

On what legal grounds? Do they own the venue? Push the issue and shoot anyways. - Thomas Hawk

'Do no evil' lest it be photographed and someone gets into some serious trouble. - Akiva Moskovitz via Alert Thingy

Interesting - Adam Gershenbaum via Alert Thingy

Forget that... get Scoble or somebody over there and Qik it. Michael Moore style, but live. And send me a link. =D - Rex Pechler via Alert Thingy

Big deal. At least you was not detained and tortured like the vlogger http://www.youtube.com/user/dr... - Robert S. Robbins via Alert Thingy

Just posted a tweet to @micromedia2 asking all to take pictures of their booth. Will show up on display in hall. - Jeff Scott via Alert Thingy

Raoul Pop's comment is to the point! - Ontario Emperor

I looked into this a bit ago. The Googlers were being (over)cautious, and it's not Google's policy to prevent folks from taking pics of the booth. So a couple of us contacted Scott to apologize and let me him know that it's fine to take pics of the booth. - Adam Lasnik

Hooray for Adam. - Amit Patel
