@fourlittlebees, nothing I ever do will make you happy. This I know. Good thing you have trade show schwag as a second-tier replacement.

@scobleizer I think the acquisition would have put MS in a worse position. Now I think Yahoo's doomed. Each wanted the wrong outcome.

Disagree. Yahoo's only play in search was Search Monkey and opening up the Yahoo! Social Graph. No way that would happen in an MSFT merger. As long as Yahoo guys can survive the shareholder lawsuits and and remove whatever dysfunctionality has kept them from doing this before, they have a slim chance for survival.

Eating a burrito from the taco truck in the beautiful afternoon sun is probably the best lunch break ever. Now I need a siesta!

Can Lifestreaming and Aggregation Go Mainstream? - http://therealmccrea.com/2008...

They can and will. After all, what is the Facebook news feed, and is that not mainstream?
- Louis Gray
Thanks, Louis! I do not believe that Facebook qualifies as a lifestream aggregator. Facebook is (currently) a walled garden that just recently added some external feeds. Facebook is largely self-contained and easy and avoids the friction problem associated with helping regular users understand that they can bring together the content they create all over the place into a lifestream.

The ever expanding gap between early adopters and mainstream users - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r...

This is spot on: people are just barely getting the concept of myspace and facebook, now the early adopters are 2 to 3 steps ahead of them. (You won't see mainstream tweeting for at least another year, yet twitter is so passé already). It used to be that early adopters were just thinking of jumping ship when the mainstream caught on.
- Mark Trapp

Have to agree. No offense to the FF guys, but the FF hype is incredibly premature. Whether or not there will ever be mainstream adoption is very much in question and even if there is that time is a ways off. Things have gotten awfully loud here in the echo chamber....
- JonathanJoseph
Matt: that's not true (that early adopters don't pay the bills). There's lots of misunderstandings of the role of early adopters here, though. Think about it. If we were back in 1977 we'd be having the same discussion about personal computers and why only geeks would buy them. If you came to that conclusion back then you'd be dead wrong. Just like now.
- Robert Scoble
The thing is, you can't JUST have early adopters. You need them, then some middleware people who aren't as geeky to see the potential, who then evangelize it to the mainstream. Taste Tribe leaders, I suppose. You need all three groups to make something ubiquitous, like personal computing.

@Scoble, Exactly I was just writing up that in 2002, when Flickr launched, the average user saw no need to have a site to share all their photos here we 6 years later and everyone's grandmother uses Flickr (ok, exaggerating, but you get my point). in 5 years time when the average folks will be getting the bulk of their media from the interwebs, a FF style service will be important.
- Sean Reiser
Scoble: Try telling that to the early adopters of Betamax, HD-DVD, minidisc, etc. There are technologies that fail, plain and simple. I don't think Twitter or FF will be around in a few years but something else might.
- Shawn Farner
from twhirl
@Scoble That's not at all a valid comparison. At some point, everyone had to have a computer whereas there's very little chance that Twitter/FF will rise to that level of necessity.
- JonathanJoseph
Early Adopters and Beta apps are just the blueprint or Outline for the eventual product. Take RSS for example. It doesn't matter what you use to harness it as long as you use it to be more productive. Really it looks like everyone is fussing over their favorite tree and which tree is better when what counts is the FOREST the trees are in...
- Anthony Farrior
I've always known that I had AADD (adult attention deficit disorder) but I havev evolved my opinion that MOST of the folks highly involved with technology suffer from this. Today with SOOOoooo many new tools and technologies it is even more difficult to maintain a focus. This jumping around makes that gap widen even quicker. What do the rest of you think?
- 2WheelTech
Early Adopter idea is limiting. Communities and personal styles are also important. FF might be mainstream for bloggers, yet early adopter for techies. Facebook is mainstream for college kids, but early-adopter for age 40-45 Harvard alumni (only 2-3%), and out-of-the-rader for general public. Out of my ~1200 Yahoo! Mail addresses, 93 on Facebook, 10 on Twitter, and 0 on FriendFeed. And Facebook seems to be post-mainstream (aka old news) for the bloggers here. Track early adopter/mainstream vs community.
