awesome!! wow go figure that! funny sh*t!!! - Susan Beebe

Social Blue Monsters? - Andrew Smith

It's extremely short sighted of them, that's for sure. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Typical old marketing reaction. I love my Nikon, anyways. - Douglas Karr from twhirl

Talk about taking away easy and great free PR. - Michael

This happens often. Companes like Canon just dont get the web 2.0 and the free PR they get with it. Some things really are free ( as in beer). - Roberto Bonini

Yeah, that is lame. Who do these people think they're dealing with. You can't control the internet. - Ryan

Seems like they got you guys to talk about it - mission accomplished? - Jesse Stay

When I read your in depth personal sharings like this, I love www more. Peace! ;-) - Erhan Erdoğan

It's not about either or, it's all about AND - Dave Martin

Strange I find FriendFeed covers all three for me - Brian Sullivan

Brian: and your comment just proved my point true above! :-) - Robert Scoble

We love you too scoble, we love you too ;) - Alemsah Ozturk

Nicely put. - Nicholas Kreidberg

I feel the humor factor shows up better here than Reader and Twitter. - Scot Duke

Twitter doesn't make me realize how boring our lives are, just that our lives are all very much the same no matter who we are, where we live, and/or what we do. Which is kind of cool to me. - FFing Enigma

+1 @Brian - cjmart

still got to catch with all the friendfeed updates!! Still hanging around with fcbk and orkut!! - Moksh Juneja from twhirl

Thinking about it, I agree with you, Robert - Migger

Well said... I mostly just use Twitter and FriendFeed but should get back on habit of reading what matters at Google Reader. - Daniel Schildt

And of course, you posted on friendfeed instead of twitter. ;-) - Brent Logan

so everone on FF uses Google Reader, whereas I use Bloglines. Why Google Reader? - anna sauce

@anna. GR + feedly = fun - Dave Martin

I've abandoned both Google Reader and Twitter. - Thomas Hawk

LOL. funny but true. i still use all three. but i use FF most of the time and also incorporated it into my blog. to make it look a little smarter :) - ~C4Chaos

i use the hell of of ff and greader, but they lack the humanity of twitter. i'm an infojunkie, but there has to be more to life online than just data. - eric mortensen from twhirl

I find Google Reader the most useful of the three by far. But when I want to discuss something or see what others with like interests are talking about, I find FriendFeed to be the place to go. - Jeff P. Henderson

Robert, I try to have the same effect from all three :) when i m done with the daily minimum i switch to the second effect and finally third :) - Hayk

On the consumption end, I agree. On the production end, however, I find that I share more in FriendFeed directly than sharing from GoogleReader (because I can attach pictures to the share in FF -- plus it shows up immediately). That seems to make my FriendFeed feed smarter than my GoogleReader feed. (Doesn't matter that much, tho, as they're combined in the end.) - Christopher Galtenberg

I have to say that I'm a FF addict like the rest of us, but the past few days I've found it kinda boring and self-serving. Now that's bound to happen, but the chatter seems to have become less interesting of late and more like graffiti IMO. Maybe it's an end of summer thing. - Jason Goldberg

Well that would be a judgement upon your friends, not the service, nay? :) (update: lol, just saw your friendfeed subscription come thru - the pressure's on!!) - Christopher Galtenberg

@christopher sorta yes, of course. the question i do have is how much will be graffiti vs. substance? again, i'm an addict, just wondering - Jason Goldberg

@Jason, it's time out for the Olympics! - asiriusgeek

@jason we need a friendfeed substance pledge! (actually just a way to mark FF contributions as private graffiti, to use your helpful terminology) - Christopher Galtenberg

Friendfeed indirectly feeds my google reader - so it makes me smarter too - George Smith

I have to agree with this one totally Robert. Top 3 in my 'social graph' right now. I do pick up an occasional important passing item from Twitter (when time allows). GReader would be better if more people shared. Friendfeed is providing the best remote networking opportunity I've ever seen (and can be fun too!). All of the other 'new' tools bear watching and are all 'pipes' for those looking to promote themselves, or their products. - Charlie Anzman

Trying to figure out what Identi.ca makes me. People don't tend to just blabber on identi.ca as much as Twitter. I find there are a lot of really smart developers there, so is it becoming a community for developers then? - Jesse Stay

Every once in a great while now, when things seem to take a momentary awkward silence on FF, I may poke my head in to twitter or my rss feeds. There's just so much good activity here, it's hard to turn my head away sometimes. - Pete D

Lovely comment Robert! Had me laughing... - Mitchell Tsai

Yap, but Twitter also shows how crazy people can be driven ;) - Martin Gommel

All very good reasons. I can't live without my Freemind maps. Whether its planning code or even just problem solving. Its a lot more intuitive than trying to use Planner (or MS Project) to plan something, and can then be easily translated across to Project software if you need it to. Its especially good for defining your own workflow and strategies as well. - Stephen Cropp

I've been trying out mind maps every now and then but still haven't been convinced. What exactly is it about mind maps that make you more productive or efficient? - Benedikt Koehler

I've started to doodle mind maps instead of notes for meetings and it certainly makes more sense to me when I return to the notes - Andy Britcliffe from twhirl

What are the best programs to Mind map? - Toby Graham

Desktop - Mindjet mindmanager - Sasha Kovaliov from twhirl

They need to get smarter first. MindMeister gets close with the nodes you can click on to search for pages related to the node. I want to create a mindmap and have it suck in my bookmarks related to each node on the map via tags. That way I can just build the map, have the research I have done before come to me and then move on from there. - Stephan Miller from twhirl

Anyone remember "The Brain"? So much promise - but it didn't quite work. Mindjet is a really good but doesn't integrate well enough into my todo / project managment solution. - Soulhuntre

I loved The Brain. I used it for web site architecture, too - Francine Hardaway from twhirl

Mindmapping is a useful construct. We used it with the major scenarios of our last software release and -- with MMPro and a TFS Plugin -- exported them directly into Microsoft Team System. Cool. - Robert W. Anderson from twhirl

Any good web-based Mind Mapping solutions? Ultimately I'd like an Evernote for Mind Mapping which would run everywhere. - Al Degutis from twhirl

I would lose my mind without mindjet mindmanager - adolfo foronda

As I mentioned early --I'm a mindmapper junkie...and doing it collaboratively via mindmeister in real time has been great with clients. - Leif Hansen

Al: www.mindmeister.com :) (multiple user updating real time, one touch Skype, jottable notes via 1. “My Geistesblitzes” = widget (Windows and Mac compatible) 2. SMS (Twitter) or 3. e-mail plus moticons, smilies, and tons of visuals galore. Once complied, the map can be exported and shared in various ways; which for a free service is phenomenal, plus the data can be exported in multiple ways.. I blogged about it here -> http://bit.ly/1EdpIG) - Mona Nomura

love mindmeister! - Peter van Teeseling

Mindnode! very lightweight and useful. - Akshay Dodeja

@The Doctor: FreeMind isn't as good as kdissert, which is being renamed to Semantik. - Tanath

Turns out @petehoekstra isn't following anyone. Usually a bad sign, but I followed him anyway. - Ontario Emperor

Roberto: it's not a filibuster. Congress adjourned for the summer recess. They wanted to vote on the bill lifting the ban on offshore drilling before the recess, a bill that has no urgency. - Mark Trapp

Mark: It has urgency now. :-) - Brent Newhall

Pelosi shut down the CSPAN cameras, turned off the lights and microphones. I think they should vote to decide if there should be drilling. - Caleb Easterwood

It couldn't be a filibuster it's the House members doing this and filibuster is a Senate procedure. There is no filibuster in the House rules. - Thomas Vincent

@Thomas: Good point. Just remembered that myself. - Roberto Bonini

Caleb: no, she didn't. She adjourned the house for the summer recess. When the Congress adjourns, CSPAN turns off and everyone goes home. It's not censorship, it's the Congress going home to their constituents. What's the rush to vote on drilling? It won't have any effect on the summer's gas prices. The twittering/qiking congressmen are playing the social media crowd hard. - Mark Trapp

رونوشت به حسین مزیدی - Shandiz

+1 to Mark. Exactly. - Kevin Bondelli

The outcome of the vote won't have any effect on gas prices for at least ten years. This is pure grandstanding. - Nathan Rein

... not, of course, to imply that there's anything wrong with grandstanding, a glorious tradition in parliamentary politics the world over. - Nathan Rein

Kirk, no, they won't. Futures speculation is based on the delivery of futures contracts, which must occur within a quarter (more often, within 30 days). Speculation is based on what will happen to the price of oil (more specifically, the production/supply of oil) at the time of delivery. This will do absolutely nothing to speculation or "psychology" until the oil can be delivered to market, which will not happen for several years. - Mark Trapp

A Twitibuster? Err drilibuster? Maybe more accurately, a re-electibuster. - Christian Anderson from fftogo

Mark, very lucid. - Pete D

Was not a filibuster. Only in the Senate can that happen. House had recessed, so it was more of a sit-in. Still very interesting though. Almost went down to the gallery to check it out. Presser at http://qik.com/johnculberson is cool - Andrew Feinberg

I think it's totally an illusion that gas prices will come down if offshore drilling is allowed. It's a Republican smokescreen. - Cathryn Hrudicka

It'll have no effect on it until the oil comes to market. That's what so silly about this drilling push. Environmental concerns aside, it's a long term solution to a problem that requires an immediate answer. The gas tax holiday, for all its argumentative defects, is more based in reality to solve gas prices now than drilling. You want to bring gas prices down now? Mandate the prices or ban speculation entirely. - Mark Trapp

Yeah, business savvy is right. It's all about some extra profit for a few oil companies. At it's max predicted production (which would take 7 years to reach) it would add about 1 million barrels per day... That sounds like a lot, until you realize that's a 1.2% increase in the global supply, and, since oil is a market-traded commodity, there would only be a commensurate reduction in oil prices. Whee... $0.25 less per gallon... in 7 years.... - Jason Carreira

Mark, you now they used this "years" arguement 10 years ago, 20 years ago & even as far back as 30 years ago, meanwhile, we have went from importing 20% of our oil 30 years ago to importing 70% today! The same thing can be said of alternative sources (which no one on my side is trying to block, Bush has subsidized these sources more than any previous Admin), so using your logic we should give up on alternative sources as well! - Brian

Brian, there's solving the energy crisis, and stabbing blindly in the dark because it "sounds" good. Drilling will have no measurable effect on the economy now, and outlooks show that even at peak production, the effect on the oil market will be negligible. So why did it need to be passed before the recess? Why was it so important to have a special session after Congress adjourned? It's political silliness, and they got people to bite via Twitter and Qik. - Mark Trapp

So a blend of fear and trust is... what? - Andreas Johannsen
