I feel for you Robert. My wife told me yesterday that my son had made an invitation to the "Fathers Day Picnic" being held by his kindergarten class. He didn't want to give it to me: "No, Daddy is too busy at work to come." - broke my heart.

I'm in the front row of the Twitter Conference in Mountain View #140tc Here's EVERYTHING you need to follow it: - http://parnassusgroup.com/twitter...

No video feeds?

Right now I'm sitting next to Steve Broback, who runs the conference. It sold out, by the way.
- Robert Scoble
It's the only conference (TechCrunch reported that there's actually six Twitter conferences) that Twitter is semi officially supporting. Alex Payne, API Lead at Twitter, is speaking this morning.
- Robert Scoble
I am watching the live stream coming from the conference and will click "like" on any Tweet that has a really great point. That way you can see the stream with less noise than you'll see in the search above. Here's a search for #140tc but with display set to only show Tweets and other items with one like or more: http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Robert Scoble
Just how many people are there also blogging or tweeting the conference?
- Robert Freeze
The first speech, by Alex Payne, Twitter's API lead, starts at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, which is about one and a half hours from now.
- Robert Scoble
I want to swim in the pool instead of tweeting
- Jacque
Are you only talking about a live stream of twitter and friendfeed messages? Or is there an actual live video stream going to be available from somewhere? If someone would post a live ustream, kyte or such stream from the conference, that would be cool!
- Charbax
Robert Freeze: there are more than 300 people here (or will be in about an hour). I'd expect most of them to be Twittering the conference, so anything that Alex Payne says will probably be repeated many many times. Having filters is going to be very important to be able to find the "needles" in the haystack that is headed our way in real time.
- Robert Scoble
Charbax: Andru Edwards is shooting video of the sessions but we're not sure it'll be streamed live. I'll try to turn on my Kyte cam if they don't, at least for Alex Payne's speech.

There's an article about Twitter on the front page of USA Today, by the way.The article is at http://www.usatoday.com/tech...

Peter: I'm sure that will come up.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: quick question before the action starts here. You covering Google I/O from tomorrow?
- Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Robert has said he will cover Google I/O, I can't wait. It's the point Google is going to launch a Twitter/friendfeed killer app, an Intel/Microsoft killer Android OS for netbooks, a TV/Cinema killer Youtube HD monetization plan, a hosting provider killer in PHP support for Google App Engine, a Facebook killer in updated Google Friend Connect and Google Open Social and an iphone/nokia killer in Android 2.0
- Charbax
Looks like we're in for an exciting two days then!

Peter: I should be there in the morning, but won't be covering everything. You will have TONS of news from there. I am sure it'll be hard to avoid for the next two days. :-)

Steve Broback just opened the conference here. So will have more soon.

Alex Payne is showing off the early days and explaining how he got to Twitter. The stories are all out there, unfortunately not enough bandwidth here for live video streaming. Sigh.

Is twitter going to support OpenMicroBlogging protocol? There should be public pressure for them to adopt this, and adopt federation with other OMB capable services
- Jon
here's another proposal, quit enabling url shortening. This trend is breaking the web, and it sets users up for a bad experience. There are two options that come to mind, either take URL data out of the message and into a separate structured data field just for URL data, or just get rid of the arbitrary 140 character limit.
- Jon
I'll take Door #1, Jon!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from IM
while they're at it, they can add data fields for just about anything, such as location or hashtags. these really don't belong in the message do they?

To clarify, people who are interacting with Twitter via an SMS-only interface have no use for links anyway, why not strip them out and only make them available as supplementary metadata for API/web clients

Blocking things out just makes them more interesting. It might actually get someone to physically stalk you just to see what you're hiding at the end of your trips every night.
- Robert Scoble
wow, commenting on friend via your blog Robert. These are good business applications, but like you said, most people are concerned about their privacy...
- Anthony Farrior
I think most people do not want to indiscriminately share their location automatically at all times, even with a wide group of 'friends'. Not storing history is important (like Latitude and Loopt), and easily being able to announce a location while staying off the grid the rest of the time is important.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Like a firewall, shouldn't you block everything and just define the areas you want to be trackable in?
- Jim Bergman
Latitude doesn't always update in real time for me, hope this is an improvement
- AJ Leon
Very cool. I like that the service uses no traditional accounts (to send or receive), so it's very simple to use and easy to share. So like if I went hiking, I could post the glimpse url to FriendFeed for all to watch my progress.

One problem with business cards, though. They go out of date remarkably fast. CloudContacts tries to help by hooking up with other social networks so you can find other ways to contact the person you're trying to get ahold of.

I'm in the first allocation (I put my $500 down a couple of months ago). I almost cancelled it after we had trouble with our Highlander and got poor service (it's been working fine since, though).

They start showing up in dealers around the first of June.

Scott: they want to make sure I don't cancel it and wanted to make sure I didn't change my color choice. I think Toyota PR might have been involved, too, since they saw me having trouble with my Highlander here.
- Robert Scoble
He will be among the first because of the Highlander incident, and how he went public with it. They need to make it up to him, hoping he will spread the word what a nice company they are...like he is doing right now.

Yeah I'm with Scott on that, did they phone the other couple hundred people and let them know as well?
- Wes
Wes: I don't know the other people on the list. At one dealership, though, there are more than 100 people waiting. I was at a non-Silicon Valley Dealership, though, where there wasn't a line. Geeks want this car. The Google parking lot is filled with Priuses.

John, Robert, it looks like Toyota has both radar & laser-based systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...). the press release on the 2010 Prius (http://jalopnik.com/5221417...) says it's a "Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system that uses advanced millimeter wave radar." fortunately millimeter-wave radars operate above cellular...

The internet and websites in general are subject to highs and lows just like everything else in pop culture.Highly popular sites aren't necessarily better just as lesser known/frequented sites aren't necessarily inferior.the population in general flock to "the next big thing" and almost as quickly abandon it with the rest of the fair weather fans.

It's not paused because Tweetdeck, etc. can refresh automatically. It has RTs instead of likes. I agree a client needs to implement inline YouTube/Flickr/etc. but these are client issues. FriendFeed client may be superior to Twitter's web client but there are other Twitter clients out there.

Strange that she's purporting that there's a real persona and a fake twitter persona: the reason she got burned was because she didn't realize her real identity was attached to her Twitter account. The solution isn't to be a fake version of yourself on Twitter, it's to realize you can't say anything on the internet and not expect it to have real-world consequences. Maybe she thinks watching what she says in real life is also being "fake."

- EricaJoy
I'm still conflicted on this. While her words were not ideal for a job seeker, the response outside of a company HR channel from Cisco (assuming this was a Cisco employee retort) wells up many more questions than answers on engagement outside of acceptable (known quantified risk) channels of communication. See also: the Monty Python "sacked" series of slides.
- Jay Cuthrell
Companies are counseled to track their name on services like Twitter, to engage customers (e.g. Zappos, Comcast). Tim Levad was doing exactly what is considered best practice. He happened to catch something a bit different than a customer tweet. Since her tweet was public, what is the best response?
- Hutch Carpenter
Something less antagonistic, probably. It reads like a scolding.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Hutch: Well what was his desired outcome? His question RE who's the hiring manager was certainly rhetorical. He can't have expected theconnor to tell him. He sure wasn't trying to engage theconnor in some sort of constuctive conversation, e.g. find out what wasn't a fit about the position. theconnor wasn't slamming Cisco, really, just stating that the job wasn't a fit. Seems like the only point was to embarrass the original poster.
- Ken Sheppardson
I know this is insane, but one way to handle this situation is not through creating multiple personality disorder, but by changing how we read and react to the different aspects of people's lives. Something like don't let that crazy picture or crazy statement 20 years ago change your judgment of them forever. Be more understanding and caring.
- Todd Hoff
Fair enough Ken. Just generally, if a customer expresses displeasure with your product, responding is key to managing your brand. And responding publicly is part of that. When a someone expresses displeasure with working for you, is there an equivalent need to respond publicly?
- Hutch Carpenter
Companies certainly need someone on channels like Twitter watching for customer issues and providing info, but it's really no different than the way corp reps have participated in forums and chats for years. When reps try to get all hip and edgy and personal rather than simply acting as the voice of the company, they're heading for trouble. Cisco the company didn't call out theconnor, Tim Levad--who happens to be a Cisco employee--did.
- Ken Sheppardson
One thing to keep in mind is she misrepresented her tweet in this blog post. She didn't say "I turned down a job from Cisco, it wasn't a right fit": she said, "Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work." Calling her out was the appropriate thing to do: that if she was thinking of joining...

- Mark Trapp
Hutch: Assuming Levad's not in HR, he should simply have brought it to their attention and let the people involved with hiring handle it.
- Ken Sheppardson
Mark - I noticed that too. Her tweet was one of being in the middle of deciding. Not "I have decided".
- Hutch Carpenter
Ken - I'll bet there's a mix here. Maybe Tim's public response could have been something like, "That's too bad to hear. Work at Cisco is actually quite stimulating". While privately, he lets HR know about her tweet.
- Hutch Carpenter
Let's not forget, she admitted the tweet was a stupid thing to do, we all agree on that.
- Bwana ☠
Yeah Bwana - I saw that too. That was stand-up of her.
- Hutch Carpenter
Does anybody know how this originally got widespread coverage? Was it because somebody with 45 followers said something dumb or because a Cisco rep called her out?
- Ken Sheppardson
@Ken: Levad called her out, Hutch (who subscribes to Levad on twitter) blogged about that, influential bloggers picked it up from Hutch on FF and/or Twitter, Hutch made it to TechCrunch, TechMeme, and WordPress.com. Getting from there to TV was just a matter of good luck.

Yeah, it boiled down to "I know this guy on the internet who knows a guy and he found something and told his friends who told their friends and now its on youtube and wouldn't it be nice if your coworkers could share information with each other virally?" I felt like I was trying too hard.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Now I get it. Just read your post, Hutch, and checked out timmylevad's feed. I'd been left with the impression he was some sort of official Cisco twitter rep, but from his profile and feed it just looks like he's some guy who also happens to work at Cisco. At least there's so much non-Cisco noise in his feed I sure wouldn't consider him an effective rep, if that's what he's supposed to be doing. Ah well. People saying dumb stuff. What's new.

It would be really nice if Twitter search respected tweet deletes. I realize that the internet remembers everything you do, but taking old tweets out of Twitter search would help a lot in terms of damage control.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
After reading through all this FF... I still come to the conclusion that a single Cisco employee gave me a data point that compounds my conflicted feelings on this. What is the net result of all this for Cisco? For the Cisco employee that elected to use an open and public channel to call out someone in HR related matters? Is this rogue? Is this accepted? Is this scalable?
- Jay Cuthrell
Daniel - what's interesting is that @theconnor's original tweet is no longer in the search results. Someone removed it...I assume "someone" means a Twitter employee. Probably had a bit of mercy on her.
- Hutch Carpenter
That sounds like an odd step to take, Hutch. I imagine no one short of a founder/CEO would feel they had the authority to delete tweets from the stream like that. Honestly I'd be more likely to believe there was some quiet legal threatening involved. Maybe I'm wrong and the whole "summize never forgets" thing is a known bug that they just haven't bothered to correct. If that were true, then deleting a tweet upon request would make sense.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
@qthrul my guess would be the employee community of the company (Cisco in this case)--from top to bottom--will consider the call-out a net positive (what their PR move projects is another matter). If the default assumption today is that a big co. under-values loyalty, and highly transient employees have responded in kind, then affinity with the Cisco employee’s reaction is a backlash to the general climate of cynicism of the employee-employer relationship.
- Micah
When you mark your feed as private (as @theconnor did) does that make all your past tweets private as well, and therefore invisible in search?
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken - search.twitter.com makes any tweets made from a public account accessible. Here's the pre-private tweets of @theconnor: http://search.twitter.com/search...

Delfina is hardly a regular pizza joint. It is a fine dining restaurant in a good neighborhood and has a great word of mouth reputation. It's sometimes hard to get in on a busy night. They are in a pretty strong position to do this as anyone eating there will find the reviews absurd.
- Robin Barooah
On Yelp, as on the internet at large, you never know why someone is saying what they say, or with what authority they speak, until you dig into it a little. From what I can tell, it's about 80/20 in San Diego. 80% people who are bitching because they're crazy or felt like they were mistreated for some reason and maybe 20% people who actually sound like they know food and have reviewed more than one place(and thus might be worth listening to).

Damn. CNBC is totally going on the offensive today. Stewart hasn't been mentioned once but Cramer's show today is basically a compilation of every other talk show he's ever been on and every call he's ever gotten right. It's pretty obvious that this is in direct response to Stewart's broadcast.
Eric Thompson, Brian, grant fox and 45 other people liked this
They are really trying hard to rebuild their credibility. It almost feels like they are trying wayyyy too hard. Cramer's gotten a ton wrong over the past few years. To try and only highlight stuff he's gotten right is misleading. It's the wrong way to counter the Jon Stewart problem.
- Thomas Hawk
today's show is like one huge endorsement of Cramer including even gimmicky stuff like Chris Matthews wishing him a happy birthday. Basically they are surrounding him in promos with the most credible people saying good things about him. They've pulled out everyone from Dr. Phil to Stephen Colbert in clips to paint him in a positive light.
- Thomas Hawk
CNBC is in a bit of a spot. They suck and have been outed for it but they can't really admit that it's true.
- ·[▪_▪]·
Jasmin, that's it. Highlighting calls that he's gotten right could just be luck. He's gotten so much wrong over the past few years that to try and somehow paint him as a financial genius in response to the Stewart interview just comes across as pathetic.
- Thomas Hawk
I was just wondering what Kramer's hit rate is - i.e. how many wrong vs. how many right
- Bindu Reddy
They're doing this because their ratings have gone down 24%. Yet, Stewart's have gone up 20%.
- Michael Forian
that's it Bindu. there is no public hit rate that I'm aware of, but he has gotten a lot wrong. To try and counter that by selectively highlighting clips over the past four years where he's made a right call is totally and completely misleading and I bet it ends up backfiring. If I were Stewart I'd show the same promos they are showing today with him getting everything right and then after it show an identical promo with him getting everything wrong. Selectively pulling his right calls is disingenuous.
- Thomas Hawk
The way to counter the criticism is to issue a mea culpa and both promise to do and do better. Anything else is just horseshit.
- Brian Sullivan
Not only are they going forward as everything is smurfy, they are painting him as a financial genius who gets everything right. Colbert: "hip, hip, hooray Jim Cramer!" The show is full of every other commentator who has every said anything positive about him combined with selective clips of him making right calls.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas and Bindu, this might give you an idea of the accuracy on his 2008 predictions: http://www.businessandmedia.org/article...
- Michael Forian
Brian's right, mea culpa and promise and do better. This circus show of a show today is just over the top. CNBC didn't need to take this tact and it's going to end up backfiring on them I bet. They are trying too hard to push their credibility. It rings false.
- Thomas Hawk
I guess they ( the suits) won't get it until the populous is outside with pitchforks and torches( this is not a threat ).
- Erik Weese
NBC Brian Williams endorsing him. Showing the Iron Man clip. Showing clips of college students calling him a hero. it's just one big marketing show marketing Jim Cramer today.
- Thomas Hawk
The thing is Stewart called him out as a snakeoil salesmen and rather than try to become more professional today he just comes out with more snakeoil than he ever had on any show ever. The truth of the matter is sometimes Cramer gets it right, more often lately though he's been getting it wrong and the show is entertainment not financial advice.
- Thomas Hawk
CNBC's gotta know they're just setting up Stewart's next move, compiling and calling them out on it. I wonder what their follow-up move is?
- Kevin Fox
As Karl Rove famously said, "If you're explaining, you're losing."
- John Craft
If I were Stewart I'd replay his promos today with him getting everything right and then immediately after it make their own promo of one of him getting everything wrong. The fact that they cherry picked good calls for today's promos was stupid. It's easy to counter and he'll look foolish for even trying to counter this way.

- David HC Soul
They should have never given TDS credence in the first place sending Cramer to all their sister channels to defend himself from a comedy show. Now they're digging a bigger hole completely missing the point of Stewart's ire. NBC has a lot of financial assets to protect, but this is so not the way to do it.
- Anika
bidniss as usual!
- Richard Walker
The problem isn't in Cramer - it's in ANY show that claims that they have expertise in Wall Street and has stunning accuracy. It's the same kind of tactic that is used by the infomercial services that share gambling predictions for sporting events. Rather than Cramer promising that he'll do better, the world would be better served if Cramer AND ALL THE OTHER FINANCIAL SHOWS simply issued their predictions, and when they get them wrong - and they WILL get them wrong - analyze and figure out WHY.
- John E. Bredehoft
Michael, I guess my point was...if you are going to crucify Cramer, you've got lots of other people to crucify at the same time. And if individual investors are taking his word as the one and only truth, it's their fault - not Cramer's, or CNBC's. Just as you should diversify your investments, you should diversify the sources of your investment advice.
- Ryan Kaisoglus
I agree with the pundit who says Cramer will be gone in six months. This is good news. He himself admits to gaming the market and misleading others--both crimes. Perhaps a little jail time will set him straight. It's what I'm hoping for--as well as Stewart staying on the attack.
- Shawn Michel de Montaigne
Kevin - not really where I was going with my comment, but we agree on your point. The best move that CNBC could have made, IMO? A clip reel of Jon Stewart's bad jokes. ;-)
- Ryan Kaisoglus
Ryan, you should always keep an open mind to different investments. But seriously, do people actually trust the TV? I'd say the internet is an investor paradise.
- Michael Forian
In my opinion, if I were CNBC I'd just drop it entirely, and over the next few months add a few personalities or shows that are chock-full of journalistic integrity. Of course, the root problem is that they're trying to fill 17 hours of programming a day, and they can't do that without adding 'entertainment' to 'information'.
- Kevin Fox
CBNC painted themselves into a corner. If they ignore their issue with Stewart, then maybe it goes away - until the next time one of their own slips up. So instead, they turn this into a personal vendetta between two personalities, which helps to diffuse Stewart's message - unless Stewart come after them again.
- Steven Perez
Plus, there's an x-factor here no one has thought of - Stephen Colbert. If Colbert's mug was used in their spots, CNBC then runs the risk of having ***two*** professional comedians gunning for their network. Stewart hits them with truth, and then Colbert makes them looks like buffoons. They're stuck, so they have to pimp their message hard.

I haven't watched Mad Money in a while (got rid of cable).

@Chris, he said she lost a lot, right? But it wasn't from 'playing the stock market' it was from 'investing long term.' The kind of investment that is good and stable and will always go up as we're always told was nullified by the dudes 'playing the market' and that's part of his anger.
- Chieze Okoye
@ChiliMac This isn't about Crammer's financial advice. He jumped of the Obama bandwagon and Stewart is being a loyal cultist and attacking him for it.

@Robert: not even close. this is not about politics, it's about the media. Stewart pissed off the media elites and now he's on the block. people didn't trash talk him while be beat up Bush or Kerry. they got on his case when he beat up Carlson and Cramer.

@Helen: i enjoy Stewart's show, but i like my journalism straight-no chaser. i miss in-depth researched reporting that spans several days/weeks/months. i like pointed questions and dogged reporters. details that take minutes to read and understand, not seconds. i like the background as well as the foreground characters. finally, i'm not interested in the *big* story, but the *long* story. really miss that kind of reporting.
- MikeAmundsen
Count on Robert to go all Politico on the media. Stewart and his writers have the common sense, down to earth touch of someone like Will Rogers. Much of the show consists of playing clips of words media mavens actually blurted out on the record. We have gone from Wall Street Week with Lewis Rukeyser, a once-a-week panel and interview PBS show, to several full time networks desperate for content, starving for any sort of bell-ringing, horn-honking ego-bozo in just a few years. I blame the boomers.
