tokyo cabinet as a drizzle storage engine it looking interesting - Jeremy Zawodny

This is exciting. We looked at Tokyo Cabinet for some of our storage issues earlier, but it would have required a lot more work to hook up than this Drizzle-integrated one will be. - Matt M (inactive)

Thanks for the reminder - there are a few things that I don't have automated - good time to make sure that it's up to date! - Brad Parler

chethan: I did a whole video on it: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Robert Scoble

Once/week at least. Get into a routine! - Jeremy Campbell from twhirl

YES :) everyday...bliss! Need offsite / cloud solution... suggestions? - Susan Beebe

@susan check out mozy or jungle disk with S3 - Aaron Eaton

I just started using Mozy for my home systems and I like it. Had not seen Jungle Disk and I will have to look at it. - Robert Miller

I would do it Josh. I was offline for a couple of weeks and lost 4 months of email do to not having a routine. Not proud of it (ashamed, actually), but that is why I looked into online backup services as another layer. I am also thinking about loading up a Windows Home Server or Linux NAS box. - Robert Miller

Josh: I have not gotten to the point of determining the best solution for a NAS. For my security work, I use OpenBSD, but I have not sat down to go over a NAS build-out. I have put together a couple of Windows Home Server set ups and it is not bad; once you get past the "Windows Server for Dummies" mentality. - Robert Miller

Matthew: Interesting thought. I will look at LVM/softRAID, though I am more of a hardware raid person myself. - Robert Miller

Depends on your definition of "good" and how much storage you need. Other than that, should be good. - Robert Miller

That is total space. RAID 5 (minimum I would go) that means a minimum of 3 drives and, yes, that is like Microsoft saying Vista runs on a 1GHz P4. - Robert Miller

Using Mozy daily, but will soon switch to JungleDisk (archive + backup) - dpurrington

@joshchandler try dlink dns323 works quite well with vista and also supports upnp => u can stream media to ps3 and xbox - Shivanand Velmurugan

If I was going for a dlink solution, it would be the dns343 (Four drives) and RAID 5 capable. - Robert Miller

True. +1 hot-swap and online rebuilds. I also prefer hot-spares, but that adds $$$ to the price. - Robert Miller

well i've had 2 backups to 2 different NAS devices for years but this year i think i'll experiment with the cloud - Fuad Arshad

I bought a buffalo terrastation 2tb raid5 (1.5tb actual after parity) for around $900 about two years ago - next storage device will probably be a drobo. what i really would like to find though is a usb or firewire external bay for IDE drives that loads like the drobo - from the front - hot swappable isn't necessary, but would be nice. toaster style like the esata that @leolaporte has is the dream, but ease of swap is the idea... any suggestions people? - Chris Heath

Backed up and cleaned my car. Do I get a cookie? :-) - Mayuresh Walke

Who else? - Robert Scoble

Steve Gillmor - real time web evangelist :) - Karoli

Sounds really cool Robert... Wish I was closer to attend! - Ben Hedrington

directeur: you're using the real-time web here. So is twitter. - Robert Scoble

No one should be on stage. It should be a live web cast. - ·[▪_▪]·

Loic Le Meur of Twhirl/Seesmic (or his CTO, actually). - Robert Scoble

Evan P - Identi.ca/Laconica - Karoli

Well, it will be a physical event that'll be live on web. Steve Gillmor and Tim O'Reilly are good ideas. - Robert Scoble

1938media :) - Ramkarthik

Perhaps John McCrea, David Recordon, Beach, Stowe Boyd thinking of others. - Mark Krynsky

Louis Gray, GuyK, You, Dave Winer, David Weinberger, Doc Searles, Marc Canter, Chris Brogan, Fred Wilson, Susan Beebe, Hugh MacLeod, Loic Le Meur, Leo Laporte, Wayne Sutton, Thomas Hawk, Laura Fitton, Howard Rheingold and the ever loving Michael Arrington. - Thomas Power

Karoli: Evan P of Identi.ca would be good, yes. This will be in San Francisco on January 21st. - Robert Scoble

the guys from Tweetdeck. it seems they know what they're doing. - Orli Yakuel

Dan Rose of Facebook - Bill Romanos

Mark: David Recordon is a must have, thanks! - Robert Scoble

Someone from Twitterspy. Someone from Tumblr. Someone from Disqus or IntenseDebate. - AJ Kohn

Guy Kawasaki - Susan Beebe

Oh oh pick me! - Photar

Guy Kawasaki - Bill Romanos

Bill: Guy would be awesome, he certainly sees the marketing potential of Twitter. - Robert Scoble

The head of Obama's Internet-campaigning team and their government on the internet initiative. - Bill Romanos

Bill: I seriously doubt anyone from Obama's team will be available that week. But one can dream! :-) - Robert Scoble

The Tweettree developers - Michael Fidler

john: Leah Culver would be great, she now works at Six Apart. - Robert Scoble

Dave Winer, Steve Rubel. - AJ Kohn

alison I don't do tatoos. - Robert Scoble

Jeez, what's with all the A-listers? How about people who are really down in the muck making things work? I nominate Eric Marcoullier, founder of Gnip. - Carter ♥ JS

If you offer some broccoli, I bet Dave Winer would show up ;-) - Bob M. Montgomery from twhirl

What about AP or Reuters? - Andrew Smith

Carter: awesome suggestion. That's why I did this so I would make sure that I actually have people who matter, not just the stars. - Robert Scoble

How about the creators of Second Life? Lots forecasts that virtual-spaces will continue to grow. - Bill Romanos

Great idea robert, Wonder if Eric Schmidt would considering attending? Or maybe Sergie? - John McBride from Alert Thingy

I'd seriously pick me. I'm awesome. - Photar

Gnip folks for sure... Would love to meet folks who could take my experiments retweetradar.com and spy.appspot.com to the next level. - Ben Hedrington

Bill: have you seen ANYTHING about second life here or on Twitter lately? I haven't. Until I do that's a separate event. John: Eric and Sergei would be fun but I don't think would really add to this conversation. I'll probably see them for something in Davos a week later though. - Robert Scoble

Dustin Stallings for Twitterspy: http://github.com/dustin... - AJ Kohn

Good question to ponder...as a relative newbie to this stuff, i'll do some research and volunteer a POV if called. Lots to digest in SM, for an ADD type, can be a stretch... - Gregg

Since this is about the real time web only comments in the first 20 minutes count right? ;) - Ben Hedrington

George Dearing - Chris Geier

Mr Scoble - Jason Goldberg of Social Median - just acquired by Xing, came into the space and added enhancements to the site very fast. - shayne catrett

Haven't seen anything on Second-Life. You're right. It may be a separate conf. But real-time collaboration could be an issue for your conference. See this link and click on the first link. [real-time collaborative spaces in intelligence community (A-SpaceX), etc. Again, it may be a bit off in the future or another conf. but check this out.: http://www.google.com/search... - Bill Romanos

shayne: oh, yeah, jason definitely should be there. So should Drew Olanoff of strands. - Robert Scoble

Julie: I'd rather the VC types be a separate event. But I'd love to have Fred, Albert, Esther, and others in this space there. - Robert Scoble

Real time Web event! Sounds great. Let me think about the players Robert. - Drew Lucas

I'll second Laura Fitton, and add Jyri Engström and Chris Messina - I'd love to come along too; we haven't had a chat in a while. - Kevin Marks

John Doerr - Bill Romanos

How about somebody from the CIA? I thought about realtime when reading Suskind's book, The One-Percent Doctrine, where he describes how they first tapped into credit card info, but that was after the fact. They started getting somewhere with Al Quaeda money networks when they were able to dip into Western Union wire transfer and know when a cash transaction was in process... meet the recipient on the other end, bam. - Amyloo

Kevin Marks: oh, yeah, I'm totally missing someone from Google on this. Good point! - Robert Scoble

Amyloo some technology that was originally developed for the CIA will make it to the consumer space in 2009. But CIA stuff is outside the scope here. It would be very cool to get a demo of what they are doing, but they'd never show it in public. I think it's more likely to get an interview with Steve Jobs. - Robert Scoble

Also, what about the rep from Obama camp that Tim OReilly alluded to in your part2 interview with Tim. Wish I could be there! This is what my Vision is about...agenda item: White Space utilization...Wi-Fi on steroids....@bcultral I am a Community Organizer :) - Racism Occupied

I like Amyloo's idea the best! If anyone can do it, the Scobelizer can. - Web Pixie

Kevin Kelly? Or how about somebody on the Ops side of the house, or GE CIO Gary Reiner, or an "internet of things" expert from UPS or FedEx - Tom Funk

Robert, nope, they'd never come. But what really struck me about the CIA terrorist tracking practices was that it's such a great parallel to what stevegillmor has been trying to get across about track being post-data mining -- about catching people in the act being so much more valuable for marketers/governments than hearing about what the users/voters/marks did x hours or days later. - Amyloo

Cory: most people have no clue what the real time web is. They barely have heard of Twitter. They might be on facebook but don't see that as real time yet and facebook isn't quite the web yet either thanks to its walled garden. I'd rather have a panel to talk about where these systems are going in 2009 first. Then a separate one where we talk about the marketing impact of these things with companies like Ford and Zappos. That's where that discussion would fit better. - Robert Scoble

We may be nobodies but we are living a plan. My Architect for my Design SpokenWord.Tv Anton Prakash (he is doing big things with Kerner.com) @ephrontech me:@bcultral - Racism Occupied

Be kind of interesting to run the panel over Twitter. - hadleystern

Definitely Guy. I loved your interview with him on Fast Company TV. - Shaun Haney

Besides me? Are you moderating? Is there still bad blood between you and @TechCrunch? What's your goal? Just asking 25000 different people is going to get you roughly 25000 different names.... I liked the panel you had @Le Web.... Did someone already say @gapingvoid? - Mike Shields

George Bush... he'll have time :) - Marco Massarotto

Mike: bad blood? We fight like brothers. Goal? 2009 is when the real time web really takes off. So, I want to hear what's coming next. Whether Steve Gillmor will get his track. How these islands will interroperate. Etc. Etc. - Robert Scoble

Dustin Sallings, author of TWITSpy, Steve Gillmor, Dave Winer, Evan Prodromeu - many of the people that were at BearHug Camp should be speaking. IMO they're the pioneers in this space. Then of course, FriendFeed, and Alex Payne from Twitter. - Jesse Stay

I agree on David Recordon - I would suggest him, and perhaps Mullenweg. The blogging space will be entering real time shortly as well. I would suggest Alex Payne over Evan Williams though - Alex understand the technology much better. Evan is all business speak, and really doesn't understand what's going on underneath. - Jesse Stay

Clay Shirky is a good choice. - Jorge Carvalho

I would definitely love to be involved with this. - drew olanoff

These guys are as "Real Time" as anything I've seen. http://www.esession.com/home... - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

So Robert, where can you point us to for date, location, and other updates? An Upcoming stub perhaps? - Mark Krynsky

How about Andrew Rosenthal or any of the NT folks behind the new "Instant" op-eds: http://tinyurl.com/4uxytv launching Monday - Perry Hewitt

zaw thet from 4info.net @zawthet - Tim Connors

Gary Vaynerchuk from WineLibrary.TV. - Travis Lusk

I can't be there; already committed for Microblogging Camp in Hamburg: http://www.mbc09.de/ - Evan Prodromou

I don't think you've explained your goals (or maybe even what "real time web" is) for everyone here to understand. Some of the suggestions make no sense (Gary V?) but I think it's cos not everyone here understands well enough what you're trying to organize - Ben Metcalfe

For variety - Include more immersive experiences as a representation of the real time web (a la Second Life and WOW et al.) perhaps some of the MMORG folks. Elon Lee at Fourth Wall Productions is a good idea.... - Joshua-Michele Ross

Oh, and my initial comment is also "not the same old people". No disrespect to anyone in particular but the you could assemble most of those people and have them talk about anything to do with the internet right now -- does that mean they're the thought leaders in real-time web? BUT then I wonder who is? Maybe the thought leaders really are just the same herd of people, and it's just that they're smart enough to start jumping onto the next meme for them to lead. But I'd like to see new people too... - Ben Metcalfe

Sounds like fun! Would be great to hear from one of the Gnip guys about how their infrastructure tech will make the web more real time. - David Recordon

Alan Levy of Blogtalkradio.com :) - Amy Domestico

Gaia Online folks - very interesting. From an asia perspective second life is a case study in what not to do. Also Tobin Lent from Punch Entertainment first mobile-online cross platform socializing network - William Bao Bean

@scobleizer Mid January may be tough for me but would love to try to make it. - Jason Goldberg

Not very sure what do you exactly mean by RT web, but if it is what I think of, I would suggest looking into some XMPP guys, some Adobe people, maybe Gnip also. I'd also suggest bringing tech guys and not biz cause even if this will impact biz it is imo a tech topic. - Alex Popescu

Make sure you branch out from just the west coast / bay area crowd. There's lots of cool stuff happening in the rest of the world... Also, we'd be happy to have someone from HubSpot share some of the data from Twitter Grader and our State of the Twittersphere report. - Mike Volpe

Does this event have an URL yet? - Evan Prodromou
