We have received numerous reports of excessive FriendFeed posts showing up in Facebook this evening. While we are not 100% sure, it appears to be an issue on Facebook's end due to ignoring application settings. We have disabled all FriendFeed updates to Facebook until we are sure the problem is resolved.

See http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... for more information - it seems to also have impacted Twitter's Facebook app. Again, we are not sure if it is a problem on our end or not, but we are investigating now. - Bret Taylor

No problem, if I knew it was on your end, I wouldn't have cared, but thanks for letting me know about the situation. I was confused because it happened right as I was trying out a new twitter game. This was compounded by the fact that the game has no controls for turning off public messages. I'll bet they plan to add them later, but right now they want everyone to hear about it.

nice, good to see OAuth support, this will enable a larger 3rd party ecosphere around FriendFeed, I hope - Jeroen De Miranda

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages? - Mark Trapp

Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed. - Benjamin Golub

Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks! - Mark Trapp

Can you post the wget version of the command line? - Gabe

Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget. - Mark Trapp

Thanks God it is New API. - Ahmet Alp Balkan from iPod

Nice progress here with this release! - Micah

I love it! - friday night

Why is wget questionable? - Gabe

Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle. - Mark Trapp

cool : ) - Gurkan Oluc

Thanks to bgolub posting his password, I now have all of FriendFeed's secret documents about notorious users, useless metrics, Justin Timberlake's promoting FF on Oprah's show, hiring Colbert as a spokesperson, Ev Williams being just a “distraction”.

"It’s taking something everyone knows on the web (your email address) and making it immensely more valuable as a way to identify yourself and information about you. Exactly what kind of information? Here are some of the ideas from the WebFinger Google Code page: * public profile data * pointer to identity provider (e.g. OpenID server) * a public key * other services used by that email address (e.g. Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug, Twitter, Facebook, and usernames for each) * a URL to an avatar * profile data (nickname, full name, etc) * whether the email address is also a JID, or explicitly declare that it’s NOT an email, and ONLY a JID, or any combination to disambiguate all the addresses that look like something@somewhere.com * or even a public declaration that the email address doesn’t have public metadata, but has a pointer to an endpoint that, provided authentication, will tell you some protected metadata, depending on who you authenticate as." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

I don't want my contact information to be my identifier. I shouldn't have to give a website my email address, just like I shouldn't have to give a store my phone number. - Daniel Sims

Daniel, I think it just takes the form of an email address, but does not in fact have to be one (or could be a "throw away" account). - Paul Buchheit

It would be cool if we could get our act together (as an industry) and make this stuff happen. I'd also like to see ENUM deployed to the point that my phone number can be linked to my identity. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) - Joe Beda

This is a bad idea in so many ways I can't even begin to list them. - April

If a site wants my email address, it's probably in order to spam me. It's usually a bad sign. If legit sites ask for my email more, it will make it harder to identify the spammers. - Tim Tyler

Do gmail users seriously still have problems with spam? I don't. - Robin Barooah

Personally this sounds great - as long as it really doesn't force you to use your actual gmail address. - Robin Barooah

I loved finger. - j1m

Does this mean I can have a .plan again? - Benjamin Lee

Sounds like the .plan which is (again) accessed via an id in email format and returns different information/metadata about a person depending on who's accessing it. Email id is used to do a DNS lookup in order to discover URL for the XRD file (accessed with a HTTP GET) containing the metadata about the person being, er, WebFinger-ed. - Nenad Nikolic

it is like user authenticating, having two three ids won't hurt ;) well i don't want to be identified, they are going same as gravatar - testbeta

It's so curious to me that people have concerns that WebFinger would lead to more spam, and yet don't like the "format" of URLs for IDs. Personally, as far as OpenID is concerned, I don't care what the identifier looks like as long as people can remember it — typically email seems easier to recall than URLs (for most people in today's world). - Chris Messina

Some users who have an email account with Google, myself included, have oodles of incoming mail both standard and secure so it fits the bill to increase security for both vendors and marketers. - frank burns

I have no problem with the idea, but it seems to me that it won't help the current state of affairs much. The kind of information I'd be interested in sharing via Webfinger (my OpenID, a URL to a FOAF file, etc.) will have no better adoption, so the Webfinger configuration doesn't buy me much. I'll hold out hopes that after a couple tight integrations between Webfinger and OpenID providers (say if Google, Microsoft and/or Yahoo provided and consumed both) things will improve ... here's to hoping :( - J. McConnell

Years ago I experimented with FOAF. I didn't fully understand nor appreciate what I was doing. To serve as a warning, if you take this example, ensure that it is blocked. #Example: I sent a file to Adobe which in turn, was sent to another email account I had at the time. I verified it's sender (ME) and sent it back in the direction of travel. A signed FOAF (API KEY) was then returned... more... - frank burns

This is such a cool photo Robert. Looks like one you'd see in Life magazine. What lens did you use? - Mark Krynsky

I mostly only use one lens lately: my 17-40 F4.0 lens on a Canon 5D MK II. This was shot at 6400 ISO. Which is totally crazy. I remember when Kodak came out with 1000 ISO film that was only Black and White and had lots of grain. - Robert Scoble

Scoble, yeah I understand him not being prepared, it's just a very striking shirt, definitely an attention grabber, though the environment pulls you away. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Melanie, I wasn't really describing plaid so much as the colors of it. ;) - Jimminy, CoG of FF

On the wafer I'm holding (I got a tour of their fab this week where they make these silicon-based lights, which are really super-powerful LEDs) are hundreds of chips which are really little light bulbs. - Robert Scoble

Advantages? They use very little power. They last a LOT longer than standard light bulbs. They are a LOT smaller. They generate a LOT less heat. - Robert Scoble

And, eventually they will be cheaper (not now, because of the R&D needed to make these). - Robert Scoble

But they already are cheaper to use. These will go first into street lamps. Cities will pay for these new lights in two years because of how much power they save (and they need to be replaced a LOT less often). - Robert Scoble

It's nice to see a company building manufacturing capabilities in SF Bay Area, too. Why not in China? Because the technology is changing so quickly (and costs are coming down so quickly) that they need to be able to change the fabs very often. Not easy to do when your fab is thousands of miles away. - Robert Scoble

I'll have a video that I did at Bridgelux up next week. Cool stuff. - Robert Scoble

very cool, Robert! - Karoli

Very cool. Desk lamp, please. =) - RAD Moose

RAD: yeah, very bright desk lamp! What's neat is because they are small and flat that we'll see all sorts of new lighting designs. Imagine a strip that goes at the bottom of a monitor, for example, or a neat design embedded into a wall. - Robert Scoble

Any idea how they rate on total environmental impact. It seems that sometimes the "cost" to deliver the end result is missed. - Elwin Witzke

Elwin: much better. They use fewer nasty chems than old style lights. No lead or mercury, for instance, and they use a LOT less power and need to be replaced a LOT less often. They have an initial higher cost for now, but they expect that will change over next decade as every light switches over to LED style lights. - Robert Scoble

cool!! :) - Susan Beebe

Any idea on what the spectrum they emit is like? I'd be in the market for a replacement full-spectrum desklamp that uses less electricity. - Michael R. Bernstein

Already we see new lamp designs coming from companies like Philips: http://www.ledino.philips.com/ , based on their own LEDs. The new generation of technology displayed here will give even better designs. - Meryn Stol

The cloud left 'cool' status and is on the radar of CTO's - jeremyoday

Definately the Cloud. Windows Azure came of age this PDC too. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

Roberto: have you shipped anything on Azure yet, though? - Robert Scoble

The cloud was big for us in 2008... we made a big bet on AWS then and it's paid off dividends though 2009 as Amazon dropped its prices. It was marginally better than hosted servers in 2008 and it's now beating it hands-down. I suppose that's a change in 2009 as well. - Matt M (inactive)

Not yet. I'm working on that. Doing my Honors year project on it. Will have somthing in a few months. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

Matt: there are two types of programmers in the world: those who use Amazon and those who use Rackspace Cloud. :-) - Robert Scoble

I'd love to consider Rackspace, but it'll take a year without multiple major outages before it goes back into my evaluation pool. We get outages and machine failures on AWS, but they are a lot rarer and shorter in my experience. It might be that the reporting of outages could be biased against Rackspace, too, but without more data it's a big risk for me as a founder/CTO. - Matt M (inactive)

Listen to Jesse. IRC and mailing lists. - John from Android

Having my employer fail completely and close the doors. Second time that has happened to me. - DGentry

Matt: we've had, I believe, three major outages this year, very unacceptable. Two were power outages in our Dallas datacenter. The third was a configuration mistake made by a team at Rackspace as we started to move customers over to our datacenter in Chicago. Yes, because many big web sites like 37signals, Techcrunch, and Mashable are all on Rackspace our downtime gets noticed every single time. - Robert Scoble

Seeing a 2010 free of major high-profile downtime would be enough to convince me that things are stable. Rackspace should put up numbers on their downtime vs. other providers, even if it's not entirely flattering, so we can see them in the open without the high-profile-site bias. Sorry to derail your 2009 thread here! :) - Matt M (inactive)

2009, the year it became cool to be a geek :) - Kashif Khan

Matt: the problem with numbers is it's hard to figure out. Even during our three big outages not all of our customers were involved (we have 50,000 servers and 10s of thousands of customers and are the world's largest hosting company). - Robert Scoble

Have a few: 1) It's been far easier to make money using PHP than C#, 2) jobs on dice are increasingly becoming more javascript/ui focused, 3) starting to understand how to use twitter. - David Nelson

You know moving all my servers over to Rackspace from Amazon was pretty significant too (and I'm saving a lot more money) - Jesse Stay

Am I a fuddy duddy for not feeling like the cloud risk is worth the reward? I have a google-fast site with BBG, it's close to bare metal, it's cheap, we have support. I dunno. I'd make the same choice again. - Christopher Galtenberg

Christopher: that's why we still provide traditional hosting too. Cloud is not for everything. That said, almost all of the new startups I've been interviewing lately have been on either Rackspace or Amazon. There are major cost advantages to cloud (especially for sites with spiky traffic) that more and more are going that way. - Robert Scoble

I think cloud needs a disaster-free 2010. Then a lot more 'moderates' like myself will bring the big money over. - Christopher Galtenberg

The cloud risk is worth it in our experience. We have a lot of servers on amazon doing crawling, indexing, API hosting, etc. You're a lot more nimble when it comes to swapping out machines. Our overall downtime on AWS is basically the same as when we had hosted servers. We also pay careful attention to what we shift to Amazon's CDN so our boxes are serving what they serve best. The only Amazon fuckup that affected us this year was losing an attached storage device that we didn't have backed up properly. - Matt M (inactive)

Christopher: I've seen quite a few companies that self host have major problems. Twitter is a good example. Self hosting is not disaster free either. Cloud is actually more reliable in many ways than self hosting is, especially if you do self hosting wrong. - Robert Scoble

+1 to what Robert said. In 2008, when you balanced out the cloud cost + the time spent managing servers you'd end up very close. Prices have dropped by nearly 50% since then. Major disasters are way more expensive while self-hosting, but you don't see that many of them unless you've got a fleet of a few dozen machines running 24/7. Every company's evaluation of risk/reward is different though - ours tipped over to the cloud though and we're definitely using it as well as we can. - Matt M (inactive)

Matt: Techcrunch's CTO backs that up: http://www.rackspace.com/blog... - Robert Scoble

I became a lover of cloud apps after working on the infrastructure team for a recently famous startup. Not fun to say the least. I don't like babysitting Nagios and fearing database disks failing, 3 year old multi-threaded code you didn't write deadlocking, etc. :-1 - David Nelson

cloud and morphing from ASP.NET to WordPress(PHP/CSS) - Melanie Reed

I don't know all the niceties that Rackspace offers (Robert could chime in here), but AWS also gives you easy and fast access to S3 and cloudfront for content serving, SQS for job queues and various load balancing features. Having access to some of those little features really does take a load off your mind. I keep hoping that Amazon will start offering giant, hosted memcache instances. That's one thing I love about the cloud: hosted extra features. - Matt M (inactive)

starting to develop for Android, feels like a warm bath after a year of Objective-c for iPhone. Yes the iPhone is hot and sexy, but developing for Android is much easier. Ow, and looking forward to deploying on Amazon's AWS, almost can't remember thoughts of buying hardware myself :) - Dirk

Dirk: 2010 is going to be a big year for Android. It isn't lost on me that Google is starting out the new year with a big Android announcement (I'll be there). - Robert Scoble

the one thing Android needs now is an excellent user interface, hopefully close to the iPhone's. User experience is the one thing the iPhone is light years ahead in - Dirk

Matt: we're working on many of those things and more for Rackspace Cloud too. We have some of the world's experts on database technology (one of the guys who worked on Cassandra, which is Facebook's system, works for us, for instance) and you'll see a lot more from us, as to specifics there are other better places to compare us to Amazon, would love to help anyone figure out the differences, though, if it's not self evident. - Robert Scoble

Robert I agree with you about 2010 being the year of Android . Also developing for it is awesome . Do you think it will also be the year for T-Mobile ? - Kashif Khan

Dirk: agreed. Android is getting bettter though and we'll see next week just how much more they have to go. Kashif: I really doubt it, but you never know. Most of the geeks in Silly Valley want Verizon. - Robert Scoble

The economy of 2009 made business take the cloud way more serious. - Eric

Dropbox changed my world this year. All of a sudden users can painlessly get large numbers of files from their desktop or iphone to my site. All the previous options are comparatively awkward: web forms, email, Picasa client, XP wizard. It also upped demand considerably and forced me to turn to cloud storage for help. - Bruce Lewis

Robert: cool, re: extra features. I'll keep an eye out this year for new Rackspace features. - Matt M (inactive)

GWT for showing how webapps can be written, Adobe Air for showing how they can be deployed, webkit/chrome for raising the bar really high, cloud services that are almost good enough to host a real business and up and coming DBs like Casandra for saving us from RDBs - john schneider from iPhone

2010 will not only be the year of the Android, but also mobile in general (and I'm including 7 inch tablets in that statement). - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

GWT was/is _huge_ but wasn't that 2008? It's really matured in 2009 for sure. Love the new features like code splitting. - David Nelson

Oh ya, the google plugin for eclipse! Love it!!! - David Nelson

GWT made huge leaps in 2009. The development experience of 2008 was hosted mode (meaning IE in windows). The GWT 2.0 experience is plugin-based, slicker and much faster. The new plugins also let us debug our GWT-based firefox extension in Eclipse which was impossible before. I just released some of that code as an open-source project (gwt-firefox-extension) </shamelessplug> - Matt M (inactive)

My developer friends ripped me a new hole for suggesting that GWT was good. And I actually tried it - and it was good. They were just being arrogant ignorant jquery assholes. - Terris of California

Matt - totally agree about GWT making huge leaps in 2009. You think it was because google started using it on more high profile projects like wave and adwords? Perhaps they ramped up development of it? - David Nelson

It may seem small but my biggest change was my coding font. I went from Monaco to Consolas. - Andrew Smith

Consolas is a good one. Anonymous Pro is also good. - DGentry

David, I think a lot of the features that appeared in GWT 2.0 were driven by internal customers (code splitting and the new UI binder for sure). The GWT team is incredibly smart and they were building a lot of the new infrastructure on top of the solid and mature GWT 1.x series. This year was all about solving some of the real-world issues that came up when GWT-based projects started to mature as well as figuring out how to cut out much of the boilerplate. - Matt M (inactive)

Tyson Key to Tyson's feed, FriendFeed Feedback

Can we have support for linebreaks in comments, please? It'd make it so much easier to read and compose long comments, or ones where "special" formatting would be helpful... Thanks.

Yes, I know you can split them into several comments, but that's just awkward and even more time-consuming. - Tyson Key

24 more comments

I'm not sure I need line breaks (as I use separate comments to achieve this) but some very basic HTML support in the first comment would be most welcome. This would aid us in using FF as a basic blog platform. - Kol Tregaskes

It might also help with times when BackType stuff gets imported, and the result is so long that nobody in the right mind could scan through it quickly. - Tyson Key

True. It certainly would be beneficial for imported comments, say from an custom RSS feed. I'd like to see the paragraphs broken up instead of being one long sentence. Good point, Tyson. :-) I still wouldn't like it as native support. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Now that I think about it, it could work as one comment-per-paragraph, but it'd just create confusion if people decide to start injecting other comments in-between each paragraph, as they're imported, or if we ever got the much-requested threaded/nested comments support. - Tyson Key

Yep, there would be no problem if the import was quick though, so it still might work like that. - Kol Tregaskes

Still, I get the feeling that it was intended initially for relatively short "local" comments like "Oh! That LOLCat is so cute! I wish I could hug it", rather than for importing long blog comments quoting parts of "War and Peace" or proposals against porting Dalvik to Windows CE-powered toasters. ;) - Tyson Key

Thanks for the feedback, Tyson. I've added it to our suggestions list. - Ross Miller

It would also be awesome for ascii art! - Geoff Schultz {TF}

I would really like 'em too! - J.D. Deutschendorf

Yay! Thanks, Ross. - Tyson Key

Just fell for this again - pasting in stuff with linebreaks looks like it's going to work, then does this - http://ff.im/5SqhB - immaterial

Yeah, that's the biggest problem this issue causes: having to painstakingly edit and split across multiple comments something you should just be able to cut and paste. - Mark

You have to remember, however, that it *is* convenient now that I can type *and* post without lifting my hands from the keyboard. Just typetypetypetype and press Enter. OTOH, linebreaks *do* make comments easier to read. YOTOH, someone can mis-use linebreaks to type in a comment with, let's say, 100 linebreaks or so... a linebreak vandalism... and that will surely annoy the hell of everybody. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer

Line breaks wouldn't require you to take your hands off the keyboard. They'd just have to make Shift+Enter insert a line break and Enter to post. As for vandalism, a) it's unlikely, and b) it's trivial to code in protection against that sort of thing. - Mark

@Mark: Ah, you do have a point there. If all nitpicky stuff like that gets properly handled, then I'm all for line breaks. Yessir :-) - Pandu ● IT Optimizer

would love to see line breaks, too...there are codes to check for abusive line breaks (i.e. huge blank spaces in between paragraphs...though it may increase server load a bit)...maybe even RichText or Emoticons? - brainno722 (Peter) from NoiseRiver

RichText I don't really like. BBCode-style formatting for [b]bold[/b], [i]italics[/i], and [color=black]color[/color] would be welcome, though. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer

In a way, BBCode is similar to RichText...it would be nice to have bullets (order/unordered), bold, italics, underline, etc...of course, none of these are required, just make writing/reading/organizing easier - brainno722 (Peter) from NoiseRiver

Y'all don't need shift-enter to post; you can just use the tab key to switch focus from the text box to the Post button. - Andrew C (✓)

Agree, brainno/Peter. What I was trying to post was, I don't want RichText controls (like those in Gmail) trying to give a WYSIWYG feel to posting comments. Just BBCode support will be enough to make my day. And Andrew... I blush with embarrasment on realizing that >.< - Pandu ● IT Optimizer

I disagree on displaying emoticon graphics by default. Sometimes, overzealous implementations interpret character combinations as emoticons, when they're unwanted (e.g. when pasting the output of a CLI application in a comment, or anything containing ":P" without being padded by a space). - Tyson Key

Line breaks, some HTML, etc. (but no emoticons) should be allowed on the first comment, i.e. like a blog post. - Kol Tregaskes

yes. please. - Harini Calamur

If a reason against line breaks is that it might be harder to distinguish comment boundaries, using alternating color blocks could address that. - Andrew C (✓) from Android

I think linebreaks would take something away from FriendFeed. Linebreaks in comments enforce conciseness and "scannability". Like Twitter's 140 chars, but better, because you still can make a coherent argument. I don't have any trouble with this kind of intermediate form between microblogging (twitter) and normal blogging. What we really need is a blogging platform as fast as FriendFeed. :) - Meryn Stol

David: I think uploads in China were faster. But I think the hotel wifi sucks. Can't blame that on an entire country. :-) - Robert Scoble

Thanks Robert! And thanks for watching.... I'm a bit of a gasbag. - Terry Jones

Terry your ideas are amazing... ripping away the layers of db constraints to open up an evolutionary platform for information mining / sharing is simply AWESOME! My db structured brain is having a tough time computing the lack of structures, but my intuition tells me this is right for the future....neat data model design concept for sure! - Susan Beebe

Hi Susan. Thanks :-) BTW, there are permissions. You can have, e.g., a susan/rating attribute that you're putting onto things, and it's yours - no one else can detect/read/write/delete it unless you let them. OTOH, the underlying database objects have no owner. There are no permissions at that level. So you can put a rating (or anything else) onto any object (that you can find). No-one can stop you. So we're fully writable like a wiki, but with a permissions structure within the object (unlike a wiki). - Terry Jones

Ooooh got it!!! Ok so you're building a core data model (protected) with objects everywhere (open design) which are available to users who are presented with a highly customizable user profile (detect/read/write/delete ) that can call / manipulate said objects to create the user's *own* data set (which has multiple layers of permissions / attributes / tags? to control sharing, reporting and distribution of data) = fabulous! when can I have it? :) - Susan Beebe

Terry - is this something like entity/attribute/value? I did something like that a few years ago... but found it hard to do searching - equality in my thing was fine, but greater than, less than etc (ie: with a date range) were a bit harder. How have you overcome this? - Brad

@Susan. Yes, that sounds more or less right. Yes, your own data is on the objects, as it that of anyone else who wants to put something there. it's all combinable, searchable as you like. Plus you can organize multiply, simultaneously, and arbitrarily (simply by adding more tags to objs & searching). We'll do an alpha release in early 2009. - Terry Jones

@Brad. Dates are stored both numerically and textually. What gets searched on depends on the query. terry/seen > "Jan 22, 2007" is numeric, terry/seen ~ "Monday" is textual, etc. The query language is dead simple. It took me a lot of thinking to reduce everything to very very simple primitive operations and an easily parallelizable query language. - Terry Jones

BTW, there are 3 more parts to the video coming up... :-) - Terry Jones

Part II is now up: http://www.kyte.tv/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Impressive demo and ideas. I was thinking about similar lines last week using CouchDB (a schemaless document database by Damian Katz). Also the views in FluidDB sound like views in CouchDB. I very much like the idea of sharing data and being able to annotate or enhance the original(!) data. This is Open Data on steroids. - Berry Groenendijk

Mindnumbing stuff. - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

@Berry Hi. I'm reasonably familiar with CouchDB. It's a very different animal. CouchDB is very focused on documents, and lays out complete documents (serialized JSON strings actually, plus BLOBs) efficiently on disk. FluidDB is not focused on anything :-) And its storage is not done by object, but is instead by attribute (or tag if you like). CouchDB used to not have permissions, but I think that's changing/ed. About views yes, agreed. I hope that makes it clearer. It takes a while to get. - Terry Jones

Part #3 is now up http://bit.ly/UteO - Terry Jones

Terry I think I am slowly getting my head around FluidDB. There is still one big problem. The way people tag things. Some people tag things with a x,y coordinates, others with a longitude and latitude, etc. You need consistent tag names (or metadata field names or whatever) to be able to effectively search data. Does FluidDB help you with this in any way? - Berry Groenendijk

And part #4 http://www.kyte.tv/ch... - Terry Jones

Hi Berry. No, there's no help, and nor do I think there should be. Conventions evolve. They become consistent to the degree that it's important they are consistent. If it doesn't matter that you write color and I write colour, then it's no big deal. But if I write S.O.S. and you write S.O.B., it could be very important! - Terry Jones

There's a lot of evolutionary biology thinking behind FluidDB. Attributes will (implicitly) have fitness. Things that are useful will flourish, become trusted, be heavily used, and their owners will similarly gain. Other stuff will not. This gets at the question of spam too. What's spam? But that's another subject - also very important if you're going to build an information architecture that can survive its own success. - Terry Jones

Terry I like the way you think about these things. Just viewed part #4 of the interview. I am looking forward to the alpha release. - Berry Groenendijk

Eager to see Alpha product too! send me invite susan.beebe {at} gmail dot com - thanks! This is really inspiring / disruptive technology!! love it! makes my brain hurt in a GOOD way (i.e. un-doing all the overly burdensome architecture that was imprisoning my data!) :-) Terry is one smart cookie!! - Susan Beebe

How will you expire certain attributes? Similar to domain name management today, will you have leases on groups (or specific) attributes? This seems to be the way that you're going with the revenue model, and would certainly make sense after you've reached enough critical mass. When will you start allowing people to start reserving namespaces/attributes? - Davison

very neat project - mikehedge

@Terry - thanks. I built my thing on a standard relational db - Firebird, but everything was stored as text, so it was a bit difficult... :) So... how do you go about implementing "relationships"? ie: I have a video store, with all these videos, and this person rents these vids, so I'd like to send them an email when there's a new release in the genre that they've hired previously? Would love to talk to you more about this. Thanks! - Brad

@SusanBeebe - you know, that's exactly right! undoing the architecture! yes, sort of kinda..... :) and freeing one'self from the confines of relational theory... but see me other comment to Terry re relationships. Happy Days! :) - Brad

@Terry - sorry I can't stop thinking about this. In my thing, I maintained another table that aggregated all the various uses of a "thing". So at a glance, I could tell what the most used credit card was for purchases.... which state had the most sales etc.... this was a way to help the business owner make sense of all the data, and plan for the future. ie: Diners Club had like 2% of sales, yet attracted the highest fees - so that tells me get rid of Diners Club as a payment method? That sort of thing..... - Brad

@Terry - and all - I had better stop here - I could keep typing all night about this, and then miss the new year! :) So happy new year to everyone. And special thanks to Robert for bringing you to our attention. - Brad

Hi @Brad. Sorry for my slow replies - I don't get any notification of new comments here. I don't really use friendfeed (yet). I'm not sure exactly what @Susan had in mind with her "undoing the arch" comment, but that certainly captures the flavor. Re relationships, there is NO support for them. It's not a relational model. There's just a (conceptually) very simple architecture and laughably simple query language. You get to do analysis on your own CPU :-) Lots of tradeoffs there, of course. - Terry Jones

The video still works for me. - Terry Jones

shaun: I started this post to demonstrate that a lot of us are still here and aren't likely to leave. At least not quickly. So, life goes on after FriendFeed gets acquired by Facebook. Point proved. - Robert Scoble

Beyler, bana bir sey anlatin, bu kadar ciddi olmaya ne gerek var? Translation: Guys, why so serious? - ideali

Good morning, Robert! - Hector

here - Maitani

ideali: have them send email to scobleizer@gmail.com and I'll unblock anyone who says they weren't impersonating me. - Robert Scoble

Hector: good morning! I need coffee. - Robert Scoble

@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all. - abdellah

Wow!! So many likes and comments; is it a record Rob? - Erfun

@scobleizer thank you, for understanding. be cool, guys we just want have fun here a little. Take care. - ideali

@Robert RE "I have enough noise in my life. I don't need to have more" - isn't it a lot of noise having 26K subscriptions and 46K subscribers on your frf account?

@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you? - Он будет добрый, ласковый

I just mention the 1500 mark since it was such an iconic query to see... that and the 500 Likes club of FF posts. It's pretty exclusive stuff... but it's also sobering to note that the subject matter required to get to these levels isn't always a uniform mix of cares/concerns. - Jay Cuthrell

Holden, although I understand your spirit there... how does the extra $100 change your life? In my opinion, $200 is the same as $400 in the same way that $1700 is the same as $2100. Do you work five more hours at your job or 10 more? It's non-consequential. What makes the difference is does this become something you need, and will you pay for it? - Louis Gray

Goes from a no-brainer at $200 to a "ehh... do I REALLY need it?" at $400. - ronin

I like it--moving us closer to the world where paper is quaint, antique, a hobby. The problem with the price moving ever higher seems to be that it starts to enter the realm where one could just buy a little laptop. Why this and not that? - Kathy Fitch

I agree with both points. $200 is the sweet spot although they'd probably hemorrhage losses for a while. But $400 isn't a terribly large chunk of change when it comes down to it. Think of the Kindle. That only does print material (and a small selection at that) primarily. This does web only. The web opens a lot more opportunities than a book reader. - Zach Flauaus

$400 means it's competing with netbooks and low-cost notebooks - a crowded market if ever there was one. - invariant

looking good. looking good - Ritu

What does it do? - Johnny from iPhone

Surfs the web. - ronin

the price doubling is quite a variation. :P - Joe The Sausage

as previous post on this item "if i can casually throw this in a backpack WITHOUT the screen getting F.U.B.A.R., then me wants one very much! - You (edit | delete)....price not a factor if that is solved. - shayne catrett

msi already has a tablet out in akihabara japan, i looked at it today it is slightly smaller, but has a keyboard. same price - Robert Higgins

I'll buy it!!!! *waves arms wildly* looks slick,,, drooools - Susan Beebe

Looks nice, but I *knew* they were never going to hit their price points. Although I guess it's good to set really hard goals. - mikepk

I love the "the rumored apple tablet will kill it" stuff. Does anyone remember how long Apple's been rumored to be about to release a slate/tablet/umpc/netbook/tablet PC? - Joel Bennett

I would like one, but US$400 is NZ$700, so if Apple tablet comes in at rumoured US$800, then NZ$1400 is way out of most peoples league - hate it. - Geer

I'm a bit surprised of no Bluetooth in the specs. The lack of BT for keyboard and A2PD plus the price hike really has limited my lust for this device. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

SGD575. Hmm.. Now that I have the iPhone, I wonder if I really need this? Hmm.. - Winston Teo

$400 USD is to top of the price point that I believe most people will be willing to pay for a device that will be used to surf the web while watching TV. As any new product, including the yet to be announce Apple iTablet, the price will go down after the initial release and the TechCrunch gets some of its R&D back. I wouldn't be shocked to see the price drop to $350 after 3 or 4 months. - Casey Russell

1 USB port? Really? One USB port… - Remo

ronin said it best (3rd comment) "Goes from a no-brainer at $200 to a "ehh... do I REALLY need it?" at $400" - Chris Heath

Remo, to be fair, the crunchpad is designed to be held. Having USB cords in the way really hampers the way the design is intended to be used. I experienced this experience with the Raon Everrun. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Lazyfeed is the best thing ever--it's kind of like a more nimble, lighter version of Skygrid--a broader net, in some ways, but a simpler, cleaner interface. I love it. (And I'm trying to avoid it, right now. Bad enough that I'm here! Stop being interesting, you darn virtual world.) - Kathy Fitch

@kathy, to be honest I don't see what make people sing lunge for the lazyfeed, yes it is clean yes it is user centred (speaking design), no more interaction with other users, it aggregate no more, and then it is just an other aggregation tool, so why not using GReader. - abdellah

Well, the truth is that I find Google Reader rather clunky. I love lots of Google tools, but that's just not one of them. The interface is clunky, unattractive--just not at all appealing from my perspective. It feels harder to move around in, and not as easy to populate the feed with exactly what I (might) want to see (but don't have to look at). Also, the import of tags from one's blog is a nice feature in LF. Really just a gut reaction, though--seems to fit my flow better. - Kathy Fitch

I was about the innovation!! there is no innovation in lazyfeed, may be just a bit in user experience, they elevate it a bit no more, but again compared if we are about user experience FF is better. - abdellah

Oh, yes, abdellah--FF is my hands down favorite right now (literally--I spend hours with my hands down on the keyboard, here.) - Kathy Fitch

abdellah, Lazyfeed competes neither with Google Reader nor Friendfeed. In fact we are all great fans of Friendfeed and Google Reader. We wouldn't create a tool that competes with those two because we know they're awesome. - Ethan Gahng

@Ethan, please don't missunerstand me, I know that lazyfeed isn't in competition with both FF and Greader, my concerns were about , what new feature "or must have" feature lazyfeed can bring to feed agregation? - abdellah

abdellah, no, not at all :) To answer your question, it's not the feature, but the concept(and philosophy) that is different. Friendfeed, you subscribe to what your friends say. Google Reader, you subscribe to your favorite blogs. Lazyfeed, you subscribe to your favorite topics. That said, we have lots of features we would like to introduce, and the technology to back them up, but your... more... - Ethan Gahng

@Ethan it is not an interests filter based feed agregation system, when people use GReader they subscribe to the topic they are interested in, and in FF people fllow and subscribe to people that share the same center of interst (mean topic). so even FF and GR are oriented topic too (people do that without even thinking about) (because users subscription are dicted and ruled around some... more... - abdellah

"Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhídu, or in Italian formaggio marcio) is a traditional Sardinian sheep milk cheese, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae. Although outlawed there for health reasons, it is found mainly in Sardinia, Italy on the black market. Casu marzu literally means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese. Derived from Pecorino, Casu marzu goes beyond typical fermentation to a stage most would consider decomposition, brought about by the digestive action of the larvae of the cheese fly Piophila casei. These larvae are deliberately introduced to the cheese, promoting an advanced level of fermentation and breaking down of the cheese's fats." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet

Weird... Not sure whether I could eat it or not. - Nikhil Dandekar

"The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, about 8 millimetres (0.3 in) long.[1] When disturbed, the larvae can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in). Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming; others do not." EWW. - ⓞnor

I had heard of this before, but couldn't remember what it was called. My ick meter definitely rises when I think about it, but (as long as you clear the maggots) I guess it's not really any more gross than allowing milk to go foul until it becomes solid, then eating it. Yet somehow there's a difference between a good cheese and that crap that formed in my dorm room fridge. I guess it's just a matter of a controlled setting... - Joel Webber

There was a boingboing on this cheese too: http://www.boingboing.net/2009... - Micah

From what I have read, it appears to be a patent on a platform for delivering podcasting in such a way that the advertising in it could be updated independently to the content. You may deliver a show with an ad, but a year later, that ad may be obsolete or incorrect. The press release appears to focus on the technology of inserting that new advertising material into the shows. So,... more... - Johnny

"What’s even more striking is how a flurry of fanning or short chains, all started by many people acting independently, often merges together into one gigantic group of friends and acquaintances. This merging happens when one person fans a Page after seeing two or more friends fan that same Page. A case in point is a Page devoted to a popular European cartoon, Stripy. The diagram below shows the cartoon's close-knit communities of fans in both Bosnia (blue) and Slovenia (yellow). A few fans serve as the “bridge” that brings the two groups together. A third cluster of Croatian fans (green) hasn’t yet found its connecting bridge. Finally, there are a few fans from other countries (grey), perhaps Bosnian and Slovenian expatriates!" - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

I have looked at them before, and they have a lot (a ton) of add-ons and features, which muddies the waters. It would be nice if they had bundles. With the proliferation of start-ups these days, a cool feature would be the "start-up bundle" that walked you through the "so you think you have a unique ..." process. something most start-ups miss, and inadvertently fail as a result of. - Erik Boles

I'd also like to know if they see value in offering a 'lite' version perhaps hosted for free on the web, could this be ad supported to offset costs?

I'd like to know what they are doing that's innovative in mind-mapping. Are they making the visualization more fluid? Improving ability to show multi-dimensional connections? Improving the interaction design? I would love to see concrete examples of what they are doing differently, and why it makes a difference. how do they keep us "in the flow" when we're thinking... ? - Darius Dunlap

Edwin - we're definitely looking to bring mapping to the masses via the web; also, I agree, mapping your search results like Google wave is pretty cool. An integration there would be extremely useful for researching, gathering competitive intelligence, and writing. - Michael Deutch

James - we're working extremely close with Microsoft. In fact, our team met with their head of innovation last week. He's a MindManager user :) In fact, someone from Microsoft posted on our blog a couple of weeks ago to share that his whole department is now using MindManager and they love the integration with Microsoft Office. Windows 7 and Office 2010 are both on our radar! - Michael Deutch

John - great questions! We touch on some of this in the video. I've been involved in some internal discussions recently which raised the question of adding information on the branch lines vs. topics. I think many of the mapping software vendors have followed Mindjet's lead in this arena where the focus is on adding content into topics rather than the lines.

Donnell - I hear you loud and clear. I've been monitoring similar sentiments on the web and passing on these requests to our product team. With the growth of apple's touch products, introduction of HP's touch desktop, and upcoming release of Window's 7, rest assured that we'll take a renewed look at our own touch capabilities. In fact, Robert recorded a sneak preview of what we're working on for Windows 7. I'll continue to be an advocate for you here! - Michael Deutch

Thomas & Larry - Mac and mobile are definitely on our radar. Expect news very soon! - Michael Deutch

Mark - Collaboration and easy sharing on the web is a priority! We're also not tied to any business model so you may see some innovative packaging in the future.

Darius - we're focusing a lot of attention on collaboration these days but continue to explore better ways to present information visually, navigate large amounts of data, etc... today, you could take advantage of tablet pc's and write your maps, voice technology and speak to your map, gestures to navigate, and more... I think you'll see more about 'purpose-driven' maps. In other words, not mind mapping for mind mapping sake but rather mind mapping embedded into your workflow seamlessly. - Michael Deutch

Are they doing anything with blog/article/digg comments and mind maps? Maps could be used to group similar comments under a mind map node. - ydfeed

You could ask why they are not on FriendFeed -- outside of Michael (at least the community labels on their website do not so indicate). Some sort of integration with FF could be a great marriage. - Brian Sullivan

contentious point on the surface that probably devolves to a semantic argument. i think the bottom line is that the paper's author, Tom DeMarco, is just mellowing out a bit in his old age. :-D you start off at one end of the spectrum (engineering Nazi) and you're bound to eventually realize hey sometimes you can just wing it. look at Twitter -- more hacked together than engineered, not especially reliable, but it has played an important role. - Karim

Leaving aside the sensational title, I think Jeff's point is that certain traditional practices like waterfall, software-as-a-manufacturing-process, discrete estimation, etc. never really accurately depicted the practice of building software. Jeff makes some good points, but I'm not sure that *craftsmanship* is the last word on this topic. - Matthew Trunnell

It will be engineering again when computers stop getting faster every year. Would you really spend a lot of time engineering the mpg of a car if you knew that gasoline was going to be 2x as effective every 18 months? - Sam Pullara

Unlike any other engineering dicipline, s/w engineering is highly depend on intellectual property while developing s/w product. - ersan bilik
