No, only the nasal spray is a live vaccine. The shots that will be given are a dead vaccine. - Alex Scoble

I heard this on NPR yesterday, which addresses the concerns you've raised as well as several others: http://www.npr.org/templat... - Paul Wilcox

From the piece I just posted: "First concern: some people are afraid the new vaccine isn't safe: it hasn't been tested enough, they rushed to make it too quickly, I don't want to be a guinea pig. Wrong. This new vaccine was made the same way, with the same ingredients, at the same factories, as regular seasonal flu vaccine, which is an extremely safe vaccine.

Georgia, almost every vaccine is a "watered down version of the virus" -- that's the whole idea behind vaccines. From that FAQ: "The FluMist nasal spray works differently. It contains a live flu virus that has been weakened to the point that it can't cause the flu. That sounds pretty scary, but millions of people have safely taken this kind of vaccine. The advantage of the nasal spray... more... - Stephen Mack

But would you want to be riding around downtown San Francisco in your Mustang with your German Shephard hunting deer and avoiding zombies? Just get the shot like the rest of us. - Ken Sheppardson

There are basically two types of flu vaccine we use: killed inactivated virus and live attenuated virus. Killed inactivated virus can't actually cause disease (although some people can feel symptomatic because the immune response can make you feel sick anyway.) In theory, live attenuated virus can actually cause disease, although it's not going to be as severe as the actual virus, and it also generates a better immune response. - Victor Ganata

But, as everyone else has already said, the H1N1 vaccine is generated by the same techniques they use for the regular seasonal flu vaccine. - Victor Ganata

Not saying I agree, but here's a story that questions the efficacy of flu vaccines in general. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc... - Kevin Pedraja

Money quote: "Jackson’s findings showed that outside of flu season, the baseline risk of death among people who did not get vaccinated was approximately 60 percent higher than among those who did, lending support to the hypothesis that on average, healthy people chose to get the vaccine, while the “frail elderly” didn’t or couldn’t. In fact, the healthy-user effect explained the entire... more... - Kevin Pedraja

I take an immune suppressing drug to treat my Crohns so my Docs always recommend a flu shot and I take them but frankly I feel like I'd get the same effect by a lighting a candle at the cathedral - WarLord

As far as vaccines go, like if you compare it to polio or the measles, it isn't that great. Still, it be interesting to see the data in other at-risk populations, like ex-premies and kids with asthma, and adults with certain chronic diseases, populations in which the pathophysiology is a lot more specific than in the elderly. And while it might not do much for the average healthy individual, I wonder if it at least cuts down on transmission. - Victor Ganata

The older I get, the more I love flu shots. I hope that the last time I had the flu as an adult (long time ago, now) was the last time, ever. Who can trade away weeks of productivity and engagement for that long miserable time of pain and fever followed by feeling like a jellyfish? Too awful. Already got my regular shot, and will happily go for the H1N1 shot, as well. Few more years, and I'll get to add the pneumonia shot to the mix, too. Bless you, scientists. - Kathy Fitch

Know what you mean Kevin. - Hutch Carpenter

++Kathy. Science Rocks! If only the H1N1 vaccine were available in the Bay Area... *sigh* - EricaJoy

I just avoid human contact. That seems to work pretty well. - Cristo

Wash you're hands a lot! Look you've been fine so far right? - orionstarr from iPhone

Lots of Purell. No large crowds. :) I do actually want to go to parties again at some point. - EricaJoy from IM

Kevin, I'm inclined to agree with you. I also read something recently, but have misplaced, that the virus was mutating and that the current vaccine may not be as effective as first thought. Don't quote me on that until I can find it. I'm with WarLord. I have a weak immune system and I would just as soon take occillcoxcinum and just use sensible precautions. - Melanie Reed

I'm with Paul Wilcox on this one. The reason why it has been invented "just one or two months ago" is because it passed the *administrative* processes very quickly (without all the usual red-tape for regulating therapeutic goods). Otherwise, the vaccine has succeeded all the usual clinical trials. At least that's what French officials (from many health organizations) are saying. - Jérôme Flipo

it appeared in the 1970's (http://diseases-viruses.suite101.com/article...), there shoulda been no reason to "rush" a vaccine for this, :( - chaz2b

It actually first appeared in 1918. The 2009 strain is different enough from the 1970s one that vaccines developed then wouldn't be effective. - EricaJoy from IM

we wont know since the 70s version was never distributed - chaz2b

You don't think they tested it? - EricaJoy from IM

no, i think it was a hurrried endeavor like now, and when the talk of mandatory vaccination spread, ppl panicked, and it was shelved - chaz2b

Chaz, I don't understand your article: what does it show? Otherwise, it reminds us that the 1918 flu caused 50 to 100M deaths and got probably 500M people infected. With similar ratio for today's world, that would be 200M deaths and over 2B infections :( - Jérôme Flipo

i'm just showing that this isnt the first time we've encountered this - chaz2b

I remember that chazz2b. And also, there are a lot of people right now who I'll bet can't even afford the $25 I saw Kroger was charging. - Melanie Reed

thats my mnain concern about it, the cost & long term effects on ppl. and, if we encountered it in the 70s theres no reason the vaccine wasnt better tested and on hand for now, :( who among us has a small pox scar, who doesnt, and who thinks there isnt stockpiles of that vaccination sitting somewhere? - chaz2b

Chaz, the point is that the pandemic is expected to happen this fall and we can't wait & see the long term effects if it mutes and become as deadly as the 1918 one. If you were responsible for the WHO, what would you recommend? And what would you think if most people think they would prefer to wait and see? - Jérôme Flipo

i cant find the article i'm looking for on the fly, so i'll wing it, wash you hands, use hand sanitizer, stay away from sick ppl, stay home if sick, and cough into your shoulder for starters - chaz2b

lol, the cdc page about swine flu facts is currently down, so thats not helping (http://www.cdc.gov/flu...) - chaz2b

hey, just search "flu" on my posts, i've got quite allot of bookings about this dating back to april - chaz2b

Point taken. The vaccine is not going to supplant universal precautions as a way to avoid the flu. - Victor Ganata

Wouldn't worry about it, had swineflu back in July and it's one of the mildest forms of flu I've had, didn't cause me any problems with my asthma but did linger around for a few days... - Andy Davies

It's no different then getting the regular flu shot-the only reason it is separate from the regular one is that they didn't have time to combine them. If you are at risk-get your friggin shot. - Kelly W.

Flu can be a brutal thing, and it's unpredictable. I'm sticking my arm out there for all available shots that help protect against it, even if that protection might not be total or perfect! Hit me up, needle wielders! - Kathy Fitch

For those of you who decide to take the flu vaccine, please check at your university (if you are still student or staff) because the CDC has made them priority and you can get it for free: http://www.iupui.edu/~prepar... - Melanie Reed

Get the vaccine. The first night swine flu hit me, my heart started racing and I stopped breathing. I'm 22, and otherwise completely healthy. (on no medications) - Jess Dennis from iPhone

Yikes! - Mark Harai

Regular flu shot contains 4 different flu virus strains. If H1N1 had been prepared just 2 months earlier, it would have been included in this seasons' shot (all 5 strains in 1 shot) rather than a separate shot. Hysteria over vaccinations amazes me and damages public health. The world got punked by a fraudulent study on Autism and Vaccines in the UK paid for my lawyers cruising for money and almost 2 decades later, we are still seeing drops in people vaccinating their children. - Ray Cromwell

+1 Ray. Vaccines are safe, hands down. The autism-vaccine hysteria is so frustrating - no matter how much the link is disproved, the vaccine deniers keep pushing it (Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, etc.) They took all the thimerosal out of the vaccines which was the crux of their original argument, but they'll always find something in there that they don't like. (i assume you meant "paid... more... - Matt Mastracci

Their argument is vaccines are up, autism is up, and they both happened at the same time. Even though all three of those "facts" are actually untrue. (Vaccines are flat, autism is arguably down even though measurement is up, and they didn't actually happen at the same time.) - Stephen Mack

I would also expect that with radical changes in our living (having kids at later age, working moms, more stress, sedentary lifestyle, dietary alterations like sugar intake way up) that there is bound to be some changes in early childhood diseases. We had our first child at 33, our risk of trisomy/downs syndrome was 1 in 240 at that point. - Ray Cromwell

I find that this fear of vaccines comes from the generation that doesn't have personal memories of the sanitoriums of iron lungs - toddlers with braces and crutches and the like. The real problem with your decision not to take the flu shot is that it will probably influence the decision of those closest to you. The whole concept of "herd" theory then is out the door - because the one... more... - Robyn Hawk

Certainly, there's nothing like an outbreak to convince people to vaccinate. After we had the measles outbreak in San Diego, I heard vaccination rates went back up to levels where we could maintain herd immunity. Seriously, it would truly suck if polio made a come-back. - Victor Ganata

Victor, isn't it true that some illnesses are more easily controlled through vaccines that others? - Kevin Pedraja

I started an account ages ago because I was told it would help me out in future job searches.

How many do you know consider it to be the "new" version of a resume and/or portfolio?

A few of my more techy friends definitely consider their LinkedIn profile to be their resumes, and give out that URL instead of posting a .pdf etc. I've yet to hear of anyone having great success with their LinkedIn networks though. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle

I've found very little use for it, and find the community aspects to be sorely lacking. The few groups I was in got so spammy with self-promotional things that I left them.

Go, TechCrunch: "And to the CBS employee who was fired and threatened based on this story - we believe certain U.S. Whistle Blower laws may protect you from retaliation from CBS in this matter. We’d like to provide you with legal counsel at our cost." - Tudor Bosman

From this side of the Atlantic it just looks like more TC BS - they run a story without any facts and full of caveats like "we believe", they run the story without asking last.fm for comment first and they run the story after the UK has closed for the day and a long weekend so it makes it hard for last.fm to respond - is this what people in the tech industry consider good journalism?

I don't know about the tax consequences. I'll try to find out. Basically this money is money Cisco paid to me and I'm just shipping it back out. So, this money will be counted pre-tax, I'm sure, and you'll probably need to pay tax on it. - Robert Scoble

Did I win yet? - Robert Collazo

Sadly, I'd use most of the money to pay bills, but in the spirit of ff, I'd take a smaller portion of it to play a similar game on my ff. - Randall Rodakowski

What I'd do with $1000? Get them converted to Euros :) Would most likely be spend on "offline" needs, like a new bathroom - dieck

I suppose spending it on crack and hookers wouldn't win the prize, would it? - Ian Betteridge

Feeling like a winner already. - Tsega Dinka

I will use the $1000 plus 119,000 more dollars to buy a spot on the Twitter "Suggested Users" page. - Sprague D

And you r giving your money away why? - Andrew Finkle

it'd go toward my first Mac - Jeff Mincey

118 comments in 17mins, progress report.. :) - Yunus Tunak

Count me in! - Wim Mulder

Interesting; I'd give a bit more than the the money to an unemployed friend for necessities(car repair, rent, food, getting back her phone with Nana Lemon singing Nena's famous anti-balloon protest song) in cash and perhaps a small gift - RAPatton

I would use the money to go biking in Tibet and give everything that's left to the Tibetians. - Henrik Johansson

Robert why are you giving away money - not that I am complaining- but curious! :) - Susan Beebe

I'm game - Ken Nicely

I'd spend mine on women, booze and a Mac. - Ed Hudson

I'd use it to stretch the time I can work for equity-only before our startup gets funded! (Why doesn't federal stimulus money go to something like this which actually creates jobs and innovation instead of banks and auto companies?) - Dale Larson

this should be interesting - Robert Accettura

The chances of winning Scoble's money are slim. But the comments are hilarious. Love them. - I Spy

This is easier than a lottery ticket! We must be in an experiment or something, knowing Robert. - Cesar Arevalo

Sure why not - Rodfather

I will use the money to go PyCon, learn new skills, network, mention how generous Robert Scoble is, and do a sprint to improve FriendFeed PyAPI--which, by the way, you should use to select the random winners from this thread. https://launchpad.net/friendf... Thanks in advance. - Chris Lasher

Clever way to show the power of friendfeed! - Emee Pumarega

For $1750: I would pay a portion of my wife's college tuition, buy my daughter a netbook, and my son a practice guitar amp. - Mattb4rd

Great idea! Count me in. I think you should give your money away monthly. - Grace Ciccone

I'm Here. Wow. I''ve thrown the laptop up on a 56" JVC LCD HD. Convergence! Just watched you on the Gillmor Gang. Feels like TV to me. It's great. Something's definitely happening. - Stephen Pickering

Love it...I'm in - gavin

that's not that much - Jesse Fornear

I'd spend the money on a new display, I really need one - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Not my first comment on a Scoble posting here, but first with a potential payoff. - Tom Landini

I'm in. How I will use the money? will buy server for XdbE project - Elmira Gazizova

With $1,000 I could buy all 57 Used & new "Naked Conversations" books from Amazon and still have enough to buy bottle service at the club. - Andy Fields

would like to be able to try new technologies while still being a student and on a student's income = ($0) - Shane Grant

Cool, count me in :-) I would use the money by buying 2 HTC Fuzes for me and my love. - Sarah Peterman

Count me in! (for the first way I guess :P). - Mauro Borione

What can I do to get your $$$ Robert? How about a virtual dance from my dogs? - Jeff

get Diabla my pit bull puppy hip surgery sooner rather than later - shayne catrett

haha, what is it all about? - Имплантант

I would use the money to help fund a small-scale electronics lab, which has been a dream of mine for some time. It would serve as the perfect place to plot and create the robotic army that will eventually take over the world! Also it would teach me lots that would make me very attractive to an employer, or capable of creating a business of my own. - Daniel Bruce

It would be hard for me to decide how to spend the money. There is so much, yet so little, being given. Because I'm a crazy Linux-lover, I think I should take the selfless route and donate at least part of the money to various Linux/open-source programming projects. Though, I would have to be careful to make sure that the money is not wasted in the style that Jeff Atwood describes (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog...). - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

<cold><oddsized><red>here's my comment</red></oddsized></cold>. I've made my comment colored and differently shaped because supposedly those will get drawn before all the other regular looking comments. It's cold too because that's how the Knicks got Ewing first in the draft. - Todd Hoff

Well, I need a new kidney, and there just happens to be one available on Ebay for $1000. (The previous portion of this comment is an utter lie; both my kidneys are doing fine, I am gainfully employed, do not need the money as much as so many on this thread, but Mastercard would really love to have it.) Congrats and good luck with the new venture, Robert. - Phil Essing

Very cool! - Josh Haley

Hey as long as were giving away money - count me in ;) - Rob Jones

sweet, a thousands eh? converted to $ JMD that's 90k, groceries for 2 months:P - Gordon Swaby

i'd like to thank my good friends olasofia and tav for mentioning this opportunity to win $1000 randomly, and if gratitude to one's friends isn't enough, how about this: i will give the $1750 for the best answer to this question: now that there are 100,000 people paying attention, what single action can we all do next tuesday that has the greatest social impact globally? - happyseaurchin

For either amount, I would look to pay down some of my pressing debts and apply the rest towards a rainy-day fund. The 10% paycut I took three months ago has not helped things. - JA Castillo

I'm on spring break now and my school was nice enough to lend me a Canon 20D (a little old, but I'm still glad to have borrowed it). Usually, only people who are part of the after school photography club can take it out, and seeing that I'm not, I was quite lucky. They gave me a 28-135mm lens, which looked ok to me. It was the last lens they had available, so it was take it or leave it.... more... - Michael Forian

hmmm just leave a comment for a $1,000 dollars, not sure what to say... - Kevin Tunis

$1750 for a cheeky mobile app, any more would be telling - Yant

I'm here. pick me :) How would I use? I'll buy a netbook and some books. - Dogan Tuncer

i am somehow reminded of ben stein - Adam Singer

Testing the mix, testing, testing, one two, one two, - is this thing on? - Martha

I would use the money to do what I do with all of my money...support my wife through graduate school :p. Thanks for the opportunity, Robert. - Neal Jansons

Give it to Michael Forian! He seems so well-meaning! - RexEveryhting

Big Spender Robert. Who knew? - Michael Fidler

I'm feeling lucky. - Laura

Cool! I saw your new venture announcement (live) earlier on my old iMac, which I would love to replace. :) - Rob

I'm an unemployed community manager formerly of Silicon Valley. Hoping to spread new technology from NorCal to SoCal. - Kimberly

recently laid off, this would really help, *fingers crossed* - Nick

Pick me, I've got medical bills to pay-off. Boring I know, but it's really how I'd use any extra money. - Curtis Phillips

I'll donate the money to GM. Nah, forget it. I'll worry about it if I actually get it. - Hal

I will throw my virtual hat in the virtual ring for the not-virtual $1000. What is the other $3500 going toward? - Her Lindsay-ness

Working on a little something in the review space with a friend of mine, $1000 could cover a bit of initial hosting. - Jack Bogdan

Hmm, adding that to a house down payment would be nice. I imagine there's others here that could use it much more, though. - Jordan Hofker

peace on earth..... - imran

Wow...a comment can win me $1000!?! - jamar78

Awesome. With $1,000, I'd use 50% to buy shares of F, GM, BAC, etc... and we'll have even more money to hand out. With the other 50%, we could also make 20 $25 loans at a Stanford MBA microfinance project, so the money recycles and has more impac (and have FFers decide which projects to support). Gumball Capital http://news.newamericamedia.org/news... or Kiva.org http://kiva.org Ideally we could even start a fund to support out-of-work FF'ers. - Mitchell Tsai

@scobleizer - please give me your money. if you do i will use it wisely to help pay for a macbook & if i get more than the random $1000 prize i will use it in a philanthropic manner - Chris Heath

I'm probably use the money for a new bed for son, and upgrade Shelly's computer - jamar78

I'd have to use it all to put toward the $1,900 deposit due next month for the Friends school for which we got an acceptance letter, on behalf of our 10 yo, earlier today since my partner's reaction was that all I needed to do was to go out and get a job Monday! We've tried public schs (& their lotteries) in Boston & DC and have come to this... If that wasn't pressing, I'd use it to put... more... - Angela E. Taylor

updated to say - please give the money to someone in need. If I were to have the money to give away, my choice would be to http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com. - BEX

Wait, in this economy, you giving away money?! - Adi Rabinovich

So...dear! Did you sign the cheque? Yes? Now send it to me! LOL - Lora Lufark

all your money are belong to us! - Geek Cowboy

It would be really cool if this money went to a charity in need, in increasingly tough times. - jjprojects

I'd use it to buy myself some time to finish a volunteer project I'm doing for my alma mater - making a website that is an archaeological cataloger and academic discussion space all in one. - Joey Brunelle

posting comment. crossing fingers. knocking on wood for good measure. - Anita

I'd use the money as a donation for my favorite charity, www.4everhomes.org, helping orphans and foster children get adopted. - Lynn Owens

I will use the cash to invest in a MacBook for my wife so she can be mobile and still do her school work and finish that degree finally!!! - Geek Cowboy

Well after the football team I support (Nottingham Forest) lost 5 -0 today I would spend the money on buying myselft a place in the squad. I can't be any worse than the current goalkeeper - Paul Bainbridge

I'd give the money to children of San Diego http://www.alphaproject.org/ - David Krug

I'm in - Jack Kendall

Putting my entry in the hat. Hope this is truly random because I don't have anything interesting to add! :) - Matt Baron

With $1750 I'd buy Canon PowerShot SX1IS 10 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.8-inch LCD @ $600, a 2nd Gen Drobo populated with four 1TB Western Digital Green Drives @ $849 via TwipPhoto and a GigaPan Epic 100 as soon as its available (probably about $500). All of this will support my GigaPanning habit: http://www.gigapan.org/viewPro... - Ron Schott

James (imabonehead) & Robert, $13,000/yr is allowed by gift tax limits,... so no tax if it's from Robert's personal money. - Mitchell Tsai

Great idea. I'm in. - Bill Romanos

I would use the $1750 to pay for the laptop that my daughter wants for her 11th birthday at the end of the month. She will be entering Jr. high next year and could use a faster more up to date computer than the 5+ year old hand me down desktop PC running Win2000 that she is presently using. - Jeff P. Henderson

i would be glad to invest it into a macbook pro... - Progresif Cem Gencer

Craziness. That kinda money could feed my voracious tech and gadget habit for quite a while. - Brooks Bishop

OK, I'm in. Though not for the money: I want to know waaaay more about Building 43! - Jordi Soler

I'd use the money to invite (pay for flight/hotel, etc.) someone really cool (Harold Varmus?) to the next ScienceOnline conference. - Bora Zivkovic

Building 43 and Rackspace FTW! - Bill Koslosky

I'll use it to buy 2 new monitors. 1 for tweetdeck and 1 for Alert thingy - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)

Hi Robert. A noble venture to be sure. We would put the gift to use saving our art studio. The after effects of dealing with the Basin Complex Wildfire that burned Big Sur have left us in a precarious postiion. Truth be told, we'd rather have a big commission than the gift. Work is always better on so many levels. Perhaps we can bootstrap ourselves back to where we were and afford to offer the same gift to others in need one day not too far off--Pay it forward. Best wishes on Building 43 & thanks. - B.E. (BJ) Johnson

me I'd take my wife out to dinner and then seriously consider buying a MacBook Pro :) - Steven Hodson

I'm in for the $1,000 random drawing (because my $1750 answer would not be memorable - pay my bills). - Laura Norvig

Give half to charity, then spend the other half on upgrading my skills (educational resources) - Mo Kargas

What did I miss? - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Do Canadians qualify? - Brian Sullivan

I just caught up with what the other money is for. If it was awarded to me I would use it to help a couple I know get started in Aikido. Their kids are in our kid's class, and they had been trying to find the finances to join for almost a year and had just figured out how to start and then the husband got laid off... They're having a hard time making ends meet and I know that they would... more... - Her Lindsay-ness

What a cool contest, Robert. I can't wait to see how it turns out. - Glen Campbell, B.A.

I'll donate the entire $1,750 to Phoenix Children's Hospital if I win. Same goes for the $1,000 if I win that one. - Aviv

paypal address to follow ...... :) Good luck with the new gig Robert - Charlie Anzman

With $1750 I would help that YouTube girl scout girl, Wild Freeborn, reach her goal of selling 12,000 boxes to send her whole scout troop to camp. Got to give the girl some credit for thinking outside of the box. - Tyler Brownfield

_/\_ Namaste (greetings) from India. This is simply awesome Robert. Would be great to win a cool 1000 USD. That's a lot of money in India. ;-) - Shinil Payamal

Here's my comment. I would use the money to fight against DRM - Marcos Marado from fftogo

My mother has been an avid Obama supporter doing a great deal of volunteer work before & after the election. She recently lost her job & wants to start something new. She will need an audience. Robert, I'd love to use your money to hire YOU to coach her on how to do that most effectively. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Money..! Will use the money to travel to India this summer, visiting, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki..., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... with my family :) - Karthick R

maybe because I'm the first Italian to write about it :) http://www.fluxes.it/flussi-... - Andrea Contino

Haha a single thread from Robert turned us all (briefly I hope) into marketers :) - Mo Kargas

What the heck I'll throw in a comment...I would use the money to fix up the bathroom at my parent's house. - Amber, Random Time Lord

This comment is random. - Dave Roth

Great idea Robert! If I won I would take your portrait for free :-) - Bill Pennington from twhirl

Cheese and rice! This comment thread is giving FriendFeed Notifier a run for it's money. It's an interesting character study on what people will do with free money. Me? I'd pay the IRS & give to my favorite charities. - Anthony K. Valley ©

If this comment gets chosen at random, I hereby refuse the money (always test the exception conditions of any algorithm). If I win one of the other chunks, I commit to donate the money to @eff (EFF - Electronic Frontier Foundation - the leading civil liberties group defending your rights in the digital world). - LogEx

I thought I already commented on this? - Herne

And the other way to win? - Alex Scoble

I would find 17 worthy people under the age of 16, who are helping their community through volunteerism or have started businesses and give them $100 each to help them reach their goals. IMO, helping young people is the most noble thing those of us above the age of 40 can do. And I'd spend $50 on take-out dinner with my wife. - Scott Duffy

You win if you're last on the thread, Alex ;) - Josh Haley

here and ready to spend the money for new ipod touch :) - Nahnu

why? - Anthony Farrior

$1000 with which competitors can enter the bet would be google! - Harun R. Demirbaş

pick.me - Bob Stewart

Hi, and who are you? Thanks Robert. - Daniel Buckley

Sounds good, here is one comment. - Grant Bierman

I would channel the money to ongoing biomedical research in the lab I work in (UCSF). - Pedro Beltrao

*wave* - Jan Schwenzien

How will I use the money? With pleasure, thank you Robert. - Tomi Itkonen

I will use the money to start my non profit and purchase educational/tech material for my son's school. Warm thanks Robert. - Yanik Falardeau

And as for what I would do, I'd build a new desktop pc (and switching my current one over to act as my media/web pc), buy a true dSLR and donate some to charity. And if there is any left over, pay back some minor 'loans', which I guess I really should do first... - Grant Bierman

Hi! İ m not speak english so not comment writing :D(ingilizce bu kadarmı berbat olur ya:II) Thx You Robert. - Mehmet Alp

Hey Robert, If I were to win the money would go to a project myself and a few other early stage entrepreneurs are starting to help get people who have lost their jobs back to work in the startup community. I know it wouldn't go very far but it'd get it kicked off. Otherwise just give us some help (which would be better anyway) and give the money to the guys who have to pay school fees or rent or buy food for their families. Their need is greater. anton@udoogoo.com if anyones interested in helping - Anton Mannering

Great.I'm in. - OnuRC

this post is going to get a hell of a lot of comments. - Thomas Hawk

Random is random, Chris. :) Thanks for the thought though. - Alex Scoble

Just another random comment. :) - Zian Choy

Why am I giving away the money? Because last week we did a job for Cisco where they paid us to do some videos. I am giving away my cut because what Cisco is doing is important to pay attention to without you worrying about whether I am paid off to say so. Also, I'm very fortunate to be in the position where I can do it. I thought about paying Jason Calacanis to buy some of his tweets, but thought that money could help someone out of work more. - Robert Scoble

liked - Yusuf Esenkal

I think you should give it all to Jason ;o) - Ken Morley

Love being crazy. Let's be a bit. If i won the money, I'd make my ideas and projects real. - Cem

I would use one of the $1,750 prizes this way. I'm currently photographing people that ask me for money. I give them $2 for their portrait. Instead of the two dollars. I will use the the money to add $50 to each $2 (total = $52) to the next 35 people that I photograph as part of this project. After I photograph them for the $2 I will give them the extra $50 and tell them that it is from Robert Scoble and will document each person's story, photo and reaction in a blog post. - Thomas Hawk

i'd like to thank my mother, my father and all the people who helped me win this :p - Sofia Bustamante

interesting !! - Murat Can Demir

Hat off! - Alemsah Ozturk

Sounds good to me. - Herb Hernandez

I changed my mind. Give it to Thomas! ;o) - Ken Morley

Hmm I like Thomas' innovative idea - Mo Kargas

I couldn't tell you what I would do with $1750, but I do know I would give some away to good causes like my underfunded state school or the public school drama and music programs, and I would probably keep a little to save or update my home technology. - Steve Lowe

This is my first comment : Gods of Randomness, choose me ! - Alemsah Ozturk

how many others have signed up for Friendfeed to try and win $1000? Scoble, you should be a Friendfeed spokesman... :) - chelle

Best of luck with the new gig! Have fun at SXSW! - Trevor Little

I wonder how many new FF accounts this thread has been responsible for? Many first-time posters here. - Ken Morley

This is my second comment: I will gonna put your $1.750 to eBay tagged as “Robert Scoble's first FriendFeed Competition money“ and I'm gonna wait & see what happens :) - Alemsah Ozturk

Sounds fair to me. I'm in. - Henry Burger

Random rules - ted perlmutter

why not publish this on an indian and a turkish newspaper? this will def drive this post to records easily... and i am sure, i'll get the macbook pro this week with scoble's sponsorship... maybe i'll brand-name its alu-case with a thanksgiving note to scoble and his sponsor... time to start coding on textmate... - Progresif Cem Gencer

My niece in Mexico is on a partial sports scholarship at the university she attends. She's been supported by her mother who worked at a liquor store to help pay my niece's way. My niece's mom recently lost her job and fears she cannot financially support her daughter's education. $1,750 would pay for six months of university studies. If I were to win, that's where it would go. Good luck everyone. - Andrew

Thanks for the opportunity Robert. Good luck on your new gig! - andy

What would I do with the money? Well I'd put some towards my debt and paying my Mum's house bills. But I think my family could do with a nice break or trip away somewhere - my Mum hasn't really gone out since the death of my Dad last January! Time away from the house would do her the World of good right now. - Kol Tregaskes

Really? - Vinay | विनय

Hi Robert; good luck at Rackspace! My $1,750 would go toward my Rackspace bill of course (well, that would cover it for a few months)! - Binyamin Bauman

My second comment (for the 1K). This would go to the same niece...it's 3 more months of school. - Andrew

i dont want it... { reverse psychology } - Cem Öztürk

laykk! - Taylan GERDAN (Tylolhot)

My wife has put up with a lot of sacrifice as I've worked on http://ourdoings.com/ and money's been tight so I haven't been able to make up for what she's done. I'd use the money to take her somewhere special, and of course I'd share a picture/map of where we went here on FriendFeed. - Bruce Lewis

Oh for peats sake, it should at least be easier than winning the lotto. I'm in. - Eric @ CS Techcast

I'll comment and be random...it's a good day to be giving away $$$ :) I would use any money won here to help my friends who are in such horrible need right now. (the story is on the blog and all over my FF stream). I may be unemployed, but I have a roof over my head, food on the table and can make some $$ freelancing. My friends are hanging on by less than a thread, already stretched way too far. - Karoli

Hey man, I love money. Also, I have no job. Also, I will say some incitement here: LEO LAPORTE IS AN ALIEN - Mike Nayyar

so this is how you comment on friend feed.... - Noel Gomez

looks like i have a 1/300 chance of winning (right now). i'm predicting this number will diminish to 1/950. - Kevin Pruett

just to be safe.. - Cardeen Martinez

Count me in! - Aaron Draczynski

good luck :) - Ömer

I'll throw my name in the hat. - Chris Owens

Since my wife (school teacher) got laid off from her district on Friday, I'd use the $1,750 for tuition to help her get a Special Education certification, since districts are still hiring Special Ed. teachers. In turn, her continuing work will help pay for my son's tuition when he starts college in the Fall. My son wants to eventually become a lawyer so that he can influence policies that would ensure that people get a good education. - Glen Campbell, B.A.

Sounds like a plan. Let's see if FF has scalability issues with their comments. - Michel Goldstein

Yea! I need some money! :) - emdot

Who wouldn't want to win? - Tom Silk

This is my first year of trying to "make it" on my own, with a camera and no "real" job. Just trying to scrape by ... to be perfectly honest I'll use the money to help pay off some debt that I have acquired since I started, which has definitely been causing me headaches and frustration. My husband has been a gem, paying the majority of the bills since I make very little, and I want to be closer to breaking even with my debt so I can start to help him out. :) - Nicole Young

Scooby dooby doo! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

new sponsor ? paypal ? - Gökmen Karasu

Hope the hat is a big one, this thread is getting pretty full. :-) How the money would be spent? Pay off some student loan debt and put a chunk in our 5 year olds savings account...he (as well as his entire generation) is going to need it by the time he's an adult. - cmiper

robert are you a photographer - Dixon Hamby - Dixon Hamby

Geez, it's 2:10 am here in Berlin and you start just another interesting stunt. I will take the 1.750 US and pay a programmer to finish our "Virtual intelligent chatbot" project which offers affordable AI Avatars with personality for all kinds of virtual worlds like Second Life, Gaia, the web, Opensim etc. They'll be our 24/7 virtual workforce and a way to create immortal interactive portraits - Gaby K. Slezák

I like this idea. I'm talking with some friends this evening about how they'd each allocate $1750 if they were given this much money today to do anything with--most would share with friends and acquaintances that are going through tough tmes. One would help a friend who just closed down his company and is in need of dental work. Another would help co-workers whose hours have been cut... more... - Loren Heiny

Great idea! Count me in. - Mike

A comment for the $$$ - Jess Gibson

this sounds fun. - Wesley Robin Guerrero

I'd like to win :) - Sam Houston

i will love you forever. and evah evah. money would be spent on a nice camera (i'm studying photography) and supplies. working with a 5 year old p&s is getting tiring. :) - shannon

How can anyone NOT click 'like' or comment? I definitely 'pLike' (the p is silent - btw) this thread. :-D - Sean Hanna

a stunt? sure, but I could use an extra $1k. count me in, scoble - Seth Long

If I win the $1750 it will be applied to my son's tuition as he starts college this fall. - Jess Gibson

Sure, why not! - Jasmin Patry

Is this stimulus money??? If so I'll use it to build infrastructure. There's a giant pot hole in our alley. I'll buy bags of cement and repair it myself. The neighbors will love me. - Greg

Who am I and what am I doing here? - Kris

I'm on it like white on rice. - Jay Lara

Wow, I'll take some money - I need hard drives for my Drobo. Seriously, I need to start up an emergency savings account. - Bryan Villarin

A chance to get paid to comment? Love it! - Ginger Kenney

First, here is the comment. Second, I would use $1,750 to travel back home to Russia where I have not been in five years with my toddler son so my grandmother who is very ill in her old age could see her only great grandson (who's 19 months old) before she goes, and so I could take a one dream portrait of them together. She's been a big influence in my life, and this would be the way to make the portrait and their meeting possible. - Ivan Makarov

Could really use some money to help plant some seeds for the future - Leonard Nelson

I'll buy an Iphone and with the rest put in my IRA to reduce my tax bill. Hey, helping economy and investing in business. Not bad. - Stephen Pickering
