And will I get dizzy watching it? - Francine Hardaway

try calling me back, looks like skypes dumped me down to 3 fps - Kevin Marks

isn't the 3d backwards compatible (ie it uses fields on final cut) - Kevin Marks

Francine: you can watch it in 3D. - Robert Scoble

how does it look Ankush? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Kevin: no. Doesn't work. - Robert Scoble

Kevin: my new camera records separate 1080i videos. Has two separate cameras. - Robert Scoble

ah, I see - Kevin Marks

Gray, our studio cat, is in love with mimi. They did not get thrown outside today, therefore they are running around and making noise. Thanks cats! - Tina Chase Gillmor

I don't get the big deal about apps, survey after survey shows that most people ignore them(on mobile) Consumers ignore most apps on their smartphones – USATODAY.com http://usat.ly/y20Sr1 - Stephen M

http://www.theverge.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

Collections of polyglot web apps make lock down inevitable (Heroku) - cliveb

Stephen: absolutely false. That data is simply not right and is provably so. - Robert Scoble

thats a pew survey.. reputable - Stephen M

if this doesn't wrok, I'll go get an ethernet cable - Kevin Marks

Change just comes much more slowly than anyone expects. People don't whip into apps on the desktop if they already have what they think is a satisfactory solution, - Francine Hardaway

looks somewhat better Kevin - Tina Chase Gillmor

didn't someone make that app last year? http://isscobleinthisroom.com/ - Kevin Marks

can you mute me round i or shoudl I? I think it's a prop plane - Kevin Marks

Tina: it looks great - we need to get to HD so I can see Steve's individual whiskers - Ankush Narula

Kevin: yeah, but that was a hack using Twitter's location. It rarely worked right. Highlight works very accurately. - Robert Scoble

Polyglot enterprise web apps make sandboxing a good thing, w/o no x-collection privacy security. - cliveb

Ankush, you do not want that! - Tina Chase Gillmor

'Capability based security' is what you want rather than sandboxing - Kevin Marks

was PATH available in Europe yet? - Stephen M

Tina: I've fashioned my own white beard to pay tribute to him - Ankush Narula

Stephen: I believe it was. - Robert Scoble

the way Europe is about privacy i wonder if they will get in trouble over there for this address book problem - Stephen M

ankush ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

Andy Baio was warning about OAuth in Wired, which is blaming the wrong piece of the stack - Kevin Marks

Lazy Fare FTW... - Aron Michalski

tina - check your @mentions - Ankush Narula

I don't think what Path did was all that bad.. I mean, you are using a mobile device, and the cell phone provider has to know where you are, who you are calling... you care about privacy, use a can and some string - Stephen M

Ankush - looks nice indeed! - Tina Chase Gillmor

Thanks for the peak - Tina Chase Gillmor

maybe you should publish your setup featuring your favorite show, of course! ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

will do - Ankush Narula

Cool side note stat: 360,500 texts are sent every second from Nokia phones - Stephen M

i think by installing social apps like fourSquare, Path, Highlight - you're implicitly opting in - Ankush Narula

exactly - Stephen M

there should certainly be disclosures about how your data is used up front - and there should be an option to delete your data - facebook sync for iphone was doing this - and then on their website they let you delete the synced data - Ankush Narula

Stephen - is that a lot? - Tina Chase Gillmor

sounds like it...just for one brand... of course the service providers only see $$$ - Stephen M

Android intents, web intents are better than iOS model - Kevin Marks

Windows 8 allows apps to talk to each other - Stephen M

stephen: very true - Ankush Narula

I watched online! - Stephen M

the online experience was very nice - Stephen M

Stephen: because. - Robert Scoble

NBC Press Release about Superbowl viewer stats: http://www.nbcumv.com/mediavi... - Ankush Narula

Stephen M: iOS apps can talk to each other through the cloud. :-) - Robert Scoble

Steve has a cold and it makes his voise deeper and louder.... hard to control - Tina Chase Gillmor

wow 4.5 million streamed the super bowl online - Stephen M

I need to admit that my former guilty pleasure "all My Children" is still missed by me. And I bare a crudge against ABC still - Tina Chase Gillmor

it was powered by Silverlight - Stephen M

NCIS has a great social media presence... a lot of the actors are on twitter, and tweet during the episode, or provide behind the scenes pics of episodes they are shooting - Stephen M

crugde = grudge - Tina Chase Gillmor

3D is so bogus - Kevin Marks

fishtank video - Kevin Marks

extreme close up, nerd version... - Aron Michalski

no one would watch it on CNN anyway - Stephen M

Robert has found the loudest, most boomy room to broadcast from - Tina Chase Gillmor

Kevin: it's very clear you weren't at CES and didn't look at the new OLED screens. They were AMAZING in 3D. - Robert Scoble

my boys have been through arrested development that way - Kevin Marks

The Hour really was excellent. - Hilary Talbot

CBS and American Idol are making me want to watch their shows "Live"... the behind the scenes tweeting is really nice for their shows - Stephen M

Kevin: I listed to an interview with Chris Columbus, the movie producer behind Harry Potter and he totally disagrees with you about 3D. Interesting that this argument is happening in lots of places. - Robert Scoble

goodness, dump the dvd drive, - cliveb

Chris Columbus, ohhh i didn't know u were that old ;) - Stephen M

Stephen: different Columbus: http://www.imdb.com/name... is who I'm talking about. :-) - Robert Scoble

ah the election... Republican primaries have been very interesting - Tina Chase Gillmor

he, i know. - Stephen M

3D works when you have a very big screen that fills your visual field. without that it is a fishtank that reduces suspension fo disbelief as you can see the edges - Kevin Marks

GetGlue does that - Kevin Marks

Kevin: hold your computer closer to your face! :-) - Robert Scoble

Interesting that Google is trying to develop a Home Entertainment O/S - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Android at Home? - Stephen M

One good thing about the DNC coming to town, all the cell providers are improving their networks, or upgrading it! - Stephen M

I prefer GetGlue.. you get real Stickers! - Stephen M

motorola already ships loads of home entertainment boxes, and Google just bought them - Kevin Marks

do you really care what other people are watching? particularly in the age of DVR? - Ankush Narula

Highlight sounds a little like the flappers in Gulliver's Travels. - Hilary Talbot

yes, because I can see them reating to it on twitter - Kevin Marks

I do... some shows I have to watch when they air - Stephen M

Steve + JP consumer web observations turns up in Chatter Timeline - cliveb

Microsoft played around with this in the 90's. Looks like Google is looking to make this real. A complete Home O/S, controlling Media and Electrical Systems - Moe Glitz from iPhone

I only watch sports live - maybe Daily Show or Colbert if I'm awake and home - otherwise it's pretty much all on demand - Ankush Narula

Stephen - which ones? award shows, yes? - Tina Chase Gillmor

was the superbowl in 3d? - Kevin Marks

only in Indianapolis ;-) - Ankush Narula

No.. most of the shows on CBS.. each has a member of the cast or crew tweeting little behind the scenes information... especially NCIS.. - Stephen M

i like that stuff. - Stephen M

and I'm in the advertiser friendly Demo, so i guess its working lol - Stephen M

stephen - it's true - that's a fun activity - Ankush Narula

Can't wait for the Grammy's either - Stephen M

oooh BTW "The Good Wife" is an excellent show to watch anyway - Stephen M

yay G+ - cliveb

Last week's episode with Kevin's dog was the funniest thing since Jason c's imitation of Adam Curry - Doug Ellis from iPhone

I wish I could have been there. It looked like my kind of incident - Francine Hardaway

i'm more afraid of governments taking over the internet - Ankush Narula

Didn't I tell the lawn service not to work on my lawn on Fridays btw 1-2:30? geez - Tina Chase Gillmor

Facebook required - exactly - cliveb

sheep? - Tina Chase Gillmor

FB sucks up data like an octopus into Goldman Sachs transparency. - cliveb

Goog has privacy controls and audit - cliveb

You pay with attention dollars - Michael Roberts

and we give them our content - Tina Chase Gillmor

skype sync is weirdlyoff today - Tina Chase Gillmor

and like dollars that trickle through the economy - Facebook connect etc.. lets your attention trickle through the attention economy - Michael Roberts

Microsoft slated cooking up some sort of Azure skype service - cliveb

We can choose not to go to those networks. Exactly, Taschek. - Francine Hardaway

Our currency is being used to create actual currency. We either agree to give it away or are ignorant of it. - Aron Michalski

No, don't agree with John... exactly Robert.. - Michael Roberts

I understand peer pressure, but most of my friends are NOT on Facebook and feel no pressure to be there. Unless they are young - Francine Hardaway

w/o FB can't post comment on The Cloud Blog - cliveb

In fact, neither of my daughters is active on FB. They have rudimentary profiles, but they are not engaged - Francine Hardaway

not just peer pressure, but also as more people move into the online space, they feel they need to engage these spaces open or closed because they feel they need to in order to promote themselves and get noticed. Klout is an extreme example of this. - Michael Roberts

I am glad to accept tags from some but not all. Glad FB allows you to reject pernicious tagging. - Aron Michalski

the problem with Facebook is we let private sector companies control the places where people get to meet and interact. Jane Jacobs describes physical spaces in cities.. these are digital meeting spaces.. the problem is Facebook gets to tell you how to you get to interact. - Michael Roberts

I actually thought MSFT might buy NOK - Francine Hardaway

I can see one path to apps for MS phone. Easy authoring add-on tool for Sharepoint. Now they wouldn't be *cool* apps, but there could be a lot of them. - Amyloo

MSFT basically took over NOK without buying it - Kevin Marks

francine...you're agreeing with Steve? - Tina Chase Gillmor

I hope Scoble talks about his switch to companies helping small groups like janrain. I think he's right about mobile innovation in 2012. - Michael Roberts

He'll support anyone until something shiny passes before his eyes... - Aron Michalski

Robert's right. Sales Mgmt would call that sandbagging - cliveb

robert is lit up today...I don't mean in the alcolhol kida way - Tina Chase Gillmor

someone needs to track the number of times data is said during this show and others.. I guess it is all about big data. - Michael Roberts

...or make a drinking game out of it. - Aron Michalski

what shall we drink? - Tina Chase Gillmor

seems like its data koolaid today - Michael Roberts

Drink tea. - Kevin Marks

should I drink at the controls? - Tina Chase Gillmor

adult beverage of your choice, preferably shot sized so the chat room doesn't turn into a cage fight venue... - Aron Michalski

and my former boss - Kevin Marks

are they banking on the ignorance of people and their own privacy? - Aron Michalski

I think I shold take Kevin's suggestion and drink tea....but it would be more exciting if it was spiked - Tina Chase Gillmor

Gillmor is right - Michael Roberts

Gillmor is always right. - John Taschek

I'm right by Samovar here, so tea is a good option for me. - Kevin Marks

the golden age of quality search from Google is over as far as I'm concerned. Has been for several years. - Laura Norvig

I thought we asked foursquare - Kevin Marks

I'll bring my coffee pot. - Aron Michalski

+1 Taschek - Aron Michalski

Goog threatened by FB, or by engineer defections to FB - cliveb

Kevin nailed it. - Laura Norvig

cliveb: I'm not privvy to how they feel, but I too imagine something like Mama Cass gaping at Janis Joplin at Newport Jazz fest thinking oh-oh, I don't know how to do that. - Amyloo

Google know what having a controlling market share is (in search) and would hate to see FB continue to be in that position with their immense network. - Aron Michalski

do I hear a howling cat? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Scoble is right as well.. people use FB to see who is doing what on a Friday night. FB might have just been the best at capturing this change in human behaviour, but there will be others.. I suspect FB loyalty isn't as solid as people think. But so far nothing disruptive. Google plus is trying. - Michael Roberts

RS talking out of the side of his mouth; is he ok? Got a little Sammy Davis Jr. going on... - Aron Michalski

barking dogs, howling cats, what's next a little red rooster. - cliveb

Tumblr is now the cool thing for the younguns. They prefer it to Facebook, I think. - Laura Norvig

Amyloo: Mama Cass gaping at Janis Joplin. Right on. - cliveb

I've lost a lot of digital photos over the years. Dont even get me started - Tina Chase Gillmor

Laura - yes they do. Tumblr and Twitter - cliveb

Are we going out for steaks tonight? Im confused ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

You'd think that Budweiser and Omaha Steaks are sponsoring this show - Tina Chase Gillmor

But what if you had posted, "I hate steak" and they put an ad for steak in your feed. - Laura Norvig

totally right.. but.. read Tara Hunts post about looking for boots.. All she sees now on the google sidebar is boot ads. - Michael Roberts

it only goes away when a company folds ... - Laura Norvig

Steve's right. Wordpress blogs migrating to Tumblr - cliveb

Scoble working for steak lobby... - Aron Michalski

Aron: the beef trust - Amyloo

Here's a suggestion for you guys. bring on Mark Surman of Mozilla Foundation - to talk about the Open Web. He'll come on. - Michael Roberts

Think before you click is kind of the message of The Information Diet. Just started reading it, it's good. - Laura Norvig

B2B advertising will be slower to try FB, or give it a larger share. - Amyloo

totally right! Steve Gillmor - Michael Roberts

Gillmor is always right. - John Taschek

By Gillmor you mean TINA Gillmor, right John? - Tina Chase Gillmor

JP's analogy: FB the new real-time phone book. - cliveb

NGL, soon come. - Aron Michalski

Davos! - cliveb

Tina -- yes - Gillmor is plural for Gillmor(s) - John Taschek

did Scoble talk about his thinking for 2012? - Michael Roberts

it's heavy on the reshare. [I actually hate the way Tumblr erodes the concept of attribution.] - Laura Norvig

I never use it - ever - Michael Roberts

wordpress just added reblogging for their hosted blogs - surely a response toTumblr - Hilary Talbot

I love Storify. - Laura Norvig

I'd use it but I think the feed references the tumbler post for reblogs, not the original. Is that right? - Amyloo

Pinterest is like a chick flick. - Laura Norvig

hey hil - Amyloo

Tumblr easy like Twitter & Google+ - cliveb

hey Amy :) - Hilary Talbot

I already have a fridge. - Aron Michalski

Pinterest requires as little effort to create content as is possible./ It's like chair dancing - Francine Hardaway

Pinterest is beautifully designed, IMO. It makes food and clothes and nice photos look nice. - Laura Norvig

"Delicious for girls" someone described it as - Michael Mahemoff

I don't use Tumblr, Pinterest, Slashdot, OR Reddit and I have all those accounts - Francine Hardaway

Pinterest like Quora (flash in the pan) - cliveb

not sure about refs on tumble,r Amy. I think it looks attractive too, but will stick with my blog - Hilary Talbot

AmyLoo, if you can think of a really effective B2B use case on FB, LMK - Francine Hardaway

Right, Steve - Francine Hardaway

Eric Schmidt said that - Francine Hardaway

I will, Francine, but hard pressed. Lots of companies trying it, not sure but think they think they have to? - Amyloo

thats why attorneys still use us-mail - cliveb

What happens in Davos stays in Davos :) - Michael Mahemoff

Oh francine, actually I do know of one. I'll email you. You writing about it, or just storing it away? - Amyloo

does anyone have a service called starrfckr yet? - Aron Michalski

Amyloo Thinking of writing, but not yet. Not nearly yet - Francine Hardaway

TMZ, aronski - Francine Hardaway

I was thinking for the Davos set, Francine... - Aron Michalski

I never watch it live.. amazing the difference with the editing. This was a great show. I enjoyed it. - Michael Roberts

The show is always way better live. - Francine Hardaway

that's because of the chat Francine - Tina Chase Gillmor

But that means I can't do two things at once. Both things are the Gillmor Gang TIna - Francine Hardaway

All of the sudden, at the end of the show, J. Taschek has something to say - Tina Chase Gillmor

;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

i always have something to say -- whether I say it or not is my mastery of the negative gesture :) - John Taschek

...but of course - Tina Chase Gillmor

FST quote: "I'm never wrong and I'm always right". - Aron Michalski

Francine: B2B 1st and 3rd patents... http://www.tumblr.com/tagged... - cliveb

Good strategy, John. I can't think of a babbler I've ever thought of as wise. - Amyloo

Tina, how did I know? ;-) - Aron Michalski

It's obvious isn't it Aron? - Tina Chase Gillmor

0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both) - Micah

chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you! - Micah

5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others? - Marg Uerite

Thanks jamar78 and Marg! - Micah

A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology.... - David HC Soul

My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39 - David HC Soul

*bump* - Micah

1.26 (2965/2346) - Micah

Thanks, Glen and pea! - Micah

Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others). - Micah

.38 - Ryan Dadey

Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah

An update it's .44 which is an improvement from .36 - Michael Fidler

Amani, so your comments have climbed a bit. - Micah

Thanks, Eric. - Micah

Probably, just chattier then :) - Micah

I'm down from 7.16 to 6.94 :-) - Ken Sheppardson

the live NBA playoff threads have ALOT to do with it. - Amani from IM

Ken, the FCC may be interested to explore how your "I'm down" may be offensively self-deprecating ;) - Micah

.56 eeep, must try harder - Threepwood

4.52. I don't bother to like things I've commented on, since commenting already flags it as interesting. - Andy Bakun

Thanks, Ryo! - Micah

Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81) - Micah

1.91 - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

Thank you Nicholas and MiniMage! - Micah

Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas. - Micah

.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good! - Michael Fidler

1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me. - Micah

Micah, are you doing something with these numbers? If so sounds interesting. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

0.58 - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah

Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah

You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

.87 - Nine

Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - Micah

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments).. - Chris Myles

1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah

Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah

I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience. - Micah

383/372 - Ashish

'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah

Thanks, ashish. - Micah

wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b

chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah

Thanks, Bren. - Micah

Thank you, Alex :) - Micah

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while... - Bren

Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically. - Micah

true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better. - Bren

Jenny, resistance is futile; embrace the rising tide of comments. - Micah

Oh yea @Kevin.. I used that book in College (if I remember correctly).. great stuff.. - Kevin Costain

Page views online and eyeballs in print -- same motivators, different tools. Blah. - Michael Krigsman

Michael: yup, it's a Nikon F2 made in the 1970s. - Robert Scoble

I've had it 22 years, and I knew exactly where it was to take that photo - Kevin Marks

Robert: obviously there is a story there - Michael Krigsman

Say, I've been pondering the role of journalists as so-called "experts", but they actually don't do anything other than report on things other people actually do. Is there actually the large disconnect that I think there is? - Kevin Costain

@Kevin - I have that book somewhere at home too... be hard to find it I think.. :( - Kevin Costain

There is no current business model for profitable newspaper publishing, and people say blogging the replacement. However, there is also no business model for bloggers, in general. Seems that news has a little problem. - Michael Krigsman

@Micheal - indeed, the business model for that stuff may be worth investigation.. but I speak more of those in the technology industry (that make money by making technology work, or making technology) and those that report ABOUT it. The line that those that report and those that do it seems to be less delineated.. something is up there though I'm probably not articulating it well enough. :) - Kevin Costain

I see allot of these BOLD statements about technology almost for the sake of being bold.. but where is the substance behind it? Are these people making these bold statements ever in the position to have to back these things up? - Kevin Costain

It's interesting that Google continues to develop Orkut: http://en.blog.orkut.com/ - Ankush Narula

why would google abandon 70M users of Orkut? - Kevin Marks

agreed - but why wouldn't they transition them to G+? - Ankush Narula

G+ has fewer features and a different friend model. would be a big transition. They are ending Buzz. - Kevin Marks

Orkut is big out in South America right? Google seems to be dumping lots fo stuff lately. - Kevin Costain

Roger McNamee was on CNBC this morning. Do we believe his forecasts? - Stephen Pickering

Perhaps that will pass.. I guess the good thing is people's memories tend to be short.. and when they're locked into two and three year contracts, they won't remember this when it's time to renew. - Kevin Costain

Well, like him or not, Fred has integrity in the community. If he lost that, he wouldn't make Techmeme, I don't think - Stephen Pickering

So what's happened with Techmeme? I have I missed something? - Stephen Pickering

Stephen: exactly. Integrity is one of my favorite words. - Robert Scoble

Stephen: we always try to figure out what Techmeme is about. :-) - Robert Scoble

hahahaha :-) - Stephen Pickering

Robert: What exactly is the arbiter of integrity? - Kevin Costain

Dork Wars. - Aron Michalski

haha.. who are you fighting.. ? - Kevin Costain

Nas v Jay-Z? - Eric

I think the arbiter of integrity is the sense they put truth and objectivity above money and personal gain - Stephen Pickering

Kevin: Integrity is "are you what you seem?" So, if you are a criminal, and everyone knows it, you have integrity. Now, if everyone thinks you are a Rabbi, but you actually are a criminal, then you don't have integrity. - Robert Scoble

Stephen: Indeed that is one nice definition of integrity.. but I'm more interested in what decides who does or doesn't operate with integrity? - Kevin Costain

yeah - like Omar on The Wire - that dude had integrity - Ankush Narula

someone flew a kite in the WSJ which gabe picked up. Maybe they were trying to get valuations down. - Kevin Marks

Why is Steve getting more credit than Bill gates? Bill put a PC in the hands of villagers in developing countries. He put them in failing inner city schools. Steve Jobs put computers in the hands of the well-off. - David Lloyd

I do know what it's like to live with integrity. Indeed, this is essential. But, when we have those out there and we lack personal involvement with these people. What helps me know that this person has integrity. - Kevin Costain

look back to Apple II, David - Kevin Marks

David: because Bill put products in my hand that crash and are ugly. He will get lots of love when he dies, too. - Robert Scoble

There's usually 2 questions you need to ask yourself; 1) is this a pot of S&^t? and 2) Am I going to stir it? - Aron Michalski

I consider this more of a Klout thing. Klout being a measure of influence, right? - Kevin Costain

Klout measures online popularity and topicality. I wouldn't go as far as saying it truly measures influence. - Robert Scoble

But it gets us at least partway down that road. - Robert Scoble

Eh. Bill Gates changed computing as much as Steve Jobs did - the love won't be the same for Bill because the Microsoft message has become about malware, "Product Activations", and sales channels - Ankush Narula

the Mac was the first beige box... the PCs were metal before - Kevin Marks

There is a reasonable chance Bill Gates will help erradicate Malaria and put clean water in villages in the Sudan. I know who I think changed the world the most. - David Lloyd

It doesn't have to be pissing contest. They've both done great things - Stephen Pickering

Sure. Popularity and topicality are not influence. I think something like tying honesty and integrity to an identity would give words of those with more of it, more weight. - Kevin Costain

I've read Steve Jobs was a dick at times. +1 for him right there.... :) - Kevin Costain

The greatest geniuses always have the greatest weaknesses. Without the dick part, you wouldn't have the genius part - Stephen Pickering

I do consider Jobs a genius. If I had met and interacted with him, I'd probably know for sure. - Kevin Costain

But I'm not looking forward to today's show. - Robert Scoble

great post robert - Moe Glitz from iPod

I usually love these shows, because we talk about the future. But I have a feeling that's not what we're talking about today. - Robert Scoble

hi Aron - hanging out in my garage on a glorious Chicago(land) October afternoon - Jerome Hughes

Steve in black. - cliveb

we will be talking about the man who invented the future - Moe Glitz from iPod

you have to be involved with a patent to be listed on it, so Steve was involved - Charlie Isaacs

Yup. - Robert Scoble

Moe: good way to put it. - Robert Scoble

gah, my comcast cut out for a minute - Kevin Marks

iLived. Steve Jobs. What a Life! - Moe Glitz from iPod

Mighty big hole in the World right now :-( - Stephen Pickering

Thanks for giving Doc the first wack; - Aron Michalski

I like Doc Searls' Buddhist point that without Jobs vacating the space, further growth is not possible. - Francine Hardaway

That was a really good summary by Doc, made me feel a lot - Stephen Pickering

A life well-lived. What more can anyone expect? It's a sad thing but hardly an ending. - Karoli

I regret Steve's "hobby" -Apple TV- did not roll out in elaborated fashion before he passed. I was looking forward to Apple disrupting another hide-bound industry: TV - r Macdonald

Robert is choked up and it's choking me up - Robert J Taylor

r Macdonald: I agree. I can't wait to see what Apple's working on there. - Robert Scoble

I know, I hate being sad, but that's how I feel - Stephen Pickering

we should be glad for what he gave us but equally sad for what we will never know - Moe Glitz from iPod

don't you all think he had enough time to lay out a vision for what he saw and time to pull in people who could execute it? - Karoli

Data is not everything - Francine Hardaway

struggling with Danny's audio. sorry - Tina Chase Gillmor

Tina: I could hear it all. - Robert Scoble

true Karoli, but who is there to lovingly build it and cast a magic spell on it - Moe Glitz from iPod

Karoli, I think we overestimate how far he was able to see into the future. Remember it's not that he invented the tablet, or the mp3 player, or the computer: he made them BETTER. - Francine Hardaway

some gaps on the stream, but not enough to lose the meaning - Kevin Marks

That's what worries me. He somehow needs to be here to help us make things better. - Francine Hardaway

he was a worldwide influencer - Tina Chase Gillmor

It's also part of our time. Hewlett and Packard had just as big an impact, I'd argue, but their impact was in a time before YouTube. Steve Jobs is a world-wide celebrity, arguably the first of Silicon Valley's history. - Robert Scoble

Here is a link to the Tim Berner-Lee post yesterday, about using NeXT to support his development of URIs, HTTP and HTML http://www.w3.org/QA... - r Macdonald

here's the playboy interview: http://www.scribd.com/doc... - Kevin Marks

Thanks Kevin! - Stephen Pickering

what Steve Jobs gave us over the last 10 years will never be repeated - Moe Glitz from iPod

iPod, iTunes, iPhone, App Store, iPad - Moe Glitz from iPod

Well said Steve. Disrupting powerful players and bending them to his will - indeed. - r Macdonald

The French didn't get Steve vision. See their serious newspaper 'Le monde' : http://www.lemonde.fr/societe.... Fundamental difference marked by Americans ! - Guy Vander Heyden

Betters the Beatles years of 62 to 70 - Moe Glitz from iPod

Gentlemen, do you think Tim Cook can bend additional media industries, like TV content and distribution, to Apple's will & new products? - r Macdonald

no - Moe Glitz from iPod

the next Steve Jobs will be a group of people, a braintrust who can work together like great musicians - Tina Chase Gillmor

Well, Tim Cook has $60 billion to push around and he has Steve Jobs' shoes to fill, so he knows that he better do some big things. But, most of my head is saying Moe is right. - Robert Scoble

Little known Steve's support for medical research. Stanford's Joel Dudley convinced Apple to add Ruby and other capabilities http://macresearch.org/about_m... - cliveb

Tina: funny, I wrote just that to someone last night. - Robert Scoble

Tim Cook seems a smart guy but its like replacing Mick Jagger with Kenny Rodgers for the Stones - Moe Glitz from iPod

Robert... great minds....;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

Moe: "replacing Mick Jagger with Kenny Rodgers" ouch - r Macdonald

Danny is right about the carriers. I can't figure out an economical way to upgrade my iPhone. If I switch to Verizon, I can get a phone for $299, and then I have to do something with whatever I left left on my AT&T contract. And it's not unlocked. - Francine Hardaway

android is a knock-off of sidekick, but it got a great browser from Apple - Kevin Marks

I agree - our whole world has changed. - Teri Temme

40 million used to mean something - Tina Chase Gillmor

Jobs was a great and powerful pitchman. He had to pitch his revolutionary trojan horses to folks like printers, cell carriers, record companies, publishers and film and video distributors. Apple will need to replace this facet of his talent. Who will be able to do this at Apple? - Alex de Soto

funny, Tina, I was thinking the same thing. - Karoli

Alex, Apple has other people who do that, but no-one as well. - Kevin Marks

Alex: Kevin is right. Jobs isn't replaceable. But they will find their own voice over the next few years. - Robert Scoble

Robert and Kevin: I really hope you are right. I'm counting on it. - Alex de Soto

Westboro Baptist Church to protest (please puncture their tires) - cliveb

which they announced on their iphones. - Karoli

Protest what? - Francine Hardaway

the Angel technique still works on them. and parody signs. Violence is what they want, then they sue. - Kevin Marks

Westboro are just culture parasites. They attack anything popular so that they can get paid attention to. If we stop paying attention to them they go away. - Robert Scoble

What are they protesting? - Stephen Pickering

Right. Why would they ever protest Jobs' funeral. It's not like he was gay or political - Francine Hardaway

attention whores. that's who they are. - Karoli

Interesting undercurrent to the discussion is the continued fight against the entrenched interests -- carriers, publishers, networks. That's a point of commonality for all us in the tech world. Interoperability will be huge, but it will take huge efforts to bring it about. - Ian McGee

Robert, all of those pieces are teams. I suspect that will be the key to Apple's success. - Karoli

Both Newsweek and Time are having special Tribute issues for Steve. He was a Rock Star - Moe Glitz from iPod

I wonder how many people will use "Cards" to send sympathy messages to Apple once the app is released. When I first heard about "Cards" I immediately thought of Steve Jobs, even though many laughed about this seemingly silly app. - Alex de Soto

Jobs was a critic - Kevin Marks

Someone who gives their life to something - Stephen Pickering

Bezos? - Robert J Taylor

Perfection, Simplicity and Secrecy. - Teri Temme

Bezos is the closest I think - Stephen Pickering

Who insisted on rounded corners for software windows with a radius just so? - Alex de Soto

thanks guys.until next time. - Aron Michalski

Who placed FCC certifications on a cell phone more elegantly than Jobs? - Alex de Soto

alex, steve insisted on round rects: http://folklore.org/StoryVi... - Kevin Marks

Who ignored blu-ray? - Alex de Soto

Bezos is a genius but he doesn't build things of beauty. Want me to pull up the videos about the original Kindle? - Robert Scoble

Bezos and Amazon's driving force is to build things at low cost. That doesn't mean they will bring us beautiful things. - Robert Scoble

Robert but he is similar in that he tries to remove friction from the buying process and make the process fun and beautiful - Stephen Pickering

That just tells you about the importance of beauty, design, and ease of use - Francine Hardaway

WWSJD? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Right Kevin :) I could go on with thousands of examples where Jobs made incredibly inspired design decisions. He was more like the old car designers who lovingly thought about every curve on a car. - Alex de Soto

Danny, iTunes was Job's way of keeping us humble. ;-) - Ian McGee

hi Kevin - Tina Chase Gillmor

It could be that iTunes complexity was to try to assure the music industry that their system would be "safe" - as far flung as that might seem - Stephen Pickering

Danny is right. iTunes sucks - Moe Glitz from iPod

iTunes needs a rethink. Spotify is that rethink. - Robert Scoble

Richard Stallman: "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." http://bit.ly/n50IWd - cliveb

Ouch. That's tough - Stephen Pickering

Nothing wrong with Wordstar key combinations. Now vi -- that's a problem. ;-) - Ian McGee

Spotify requires a Facebook login. Very short-sighted, and limiting. - Tinfoil 2.0

Richard Stallman is an idiot. - Robert Scoble

iTunes is getting a rethink with iCloud, so sync isn't t required and backup happens - Kevin Marks

What a horrible thing to write. - Robert Scoble

lets hope they kill the bugs - Moe Glitz from iPod

But Stallman is probably autistic. My own son does stuff that's hurtful without realizing it because he just doesn't have the brain for social cues. - Robert Scoble

So, I should be more understanding of Stallman and his condition. - Robert Scoble

I was talking to Rana-June Sobhany about that - iPad as musical instrument - Kevin Marks

Most of the people in the world have Facebook. That actually is a brilliant decision and the Gillmor Gang in 2020 will discuss just how brilliant it was. - Robert Scoble

"Stallman and his condition" well said - cliveb

Reminds me of how Clinton can persuade you even when you disagree - Stephen Pickering

Some have said Steve and Apple didn't "Get social" What do you think? - r Macdonald

I don't think its they didn't get it, they just couldn't do everything - Stephen Pickering

r Macdonald: both true and false. Jobs got how we would talk about his products and made them HYPER conversational. Why else ship an iPod with white headphones? - Robert Scoble

Jobs jettisoned the physical keyboard and need for a stylus on a smartphone. That move alone was brilliant and gutsy. - Alex de Soto

Still waiting for Apple to release their own Mapping Product - Moe Glitz from iPod

it's gonna be a WWSJD world for a while - Tina Chase Gillmor

My question mark is how will Apple do with the Cloud? - Stephen Pickering

Interesting take, Robert. Products that are inherently drivers of social discussion & adoption, but no closed gardens for social interchange. - r Macdonald

Stephen: I do worry about what will happen next week. Hope it goes well. - Alex de Soto

do you think there were problems with the iPhone 5 - Moe Glitz from iPod

i hope Danny is talking about upgrading the phone...not the wife ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

why take 15 months to release the same phone - Moe Glitz from iPod

Beatles? - Tina Chase Gillmor

4S stands for Siri... - cliveb

did you see the Warhol/Jobs/Sean Lennon story? - Kevin Marks

Thanks for sharing everyone. Good show. - Alex de Soto

r Macdonald: yeah, I still love Siri. I remember the day I saw that tech for the first time. Really amazing stuff. - Robert Scoble

I'm so happy I got to see what they are doing. - Robert Scoble

Robert, is Foursquare boring? - Moe Glitz from iPhone

G+ devrel advice set up a circle just for Scoble (only go when u hv time) - cliveb

Zuckerberg on G+ follows Marks's law of twitter: if you tweet you lose followers; if you're retweeted you gain followers. By not posting, no-one unfollows Zuck - Kevin Marks

Not posting public and not posting aren't the same thing. It's possible Zuckerberg has posted, just not publicly. - James Williams

What Google is doing is building a cloud operating system, and the value proposition is the integration of all the parts, with a Social Network being just one part - Stephen Pickering

Counting only posts is not the same as counting all interaction. - James Williams

Peter Norvig's researchers and machine learning are all over G+ - cliveb

FriendFeed is still better than Google+ technically and functionally. - Brian Sullivan

well not +1's - that woudl be counting favorites on twitter - Kevin Marks

Keith, how much do you use Google + ? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Here we go again... "Normal". Elitist crap. - Aron Michalski

Daily peek, don't publish much - Keith Teare

It's not so much search as it is getting content onto their system as oppossed to a competitor's cloud system that is closed off from the open web - Stephen Pickering

Can John stop talking too much? - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Kevin, I don't think +1s are conceptually the same. I plus +1 things that I agree with, not necessarily things I want to save for later (I have a Favorites circle for that). - James Williams

Herman Caine seemed the most Reaganesque to me. He was cool. - Stephen Pickering

G+ is like scanning a newspaper rather than having a channel on 24/7 - Aron Michalski

I tried their exporter out when talking about microformats with Sarah Perez this week, and was surprised how few g+ posts I'd made - Kevin Marks

20 yrs with Steve married. yep - Tina Chase Gillmor

The rich only use Google+ - Moe Glitz from iPhone

congrats - Mark Vaske

In the early days, that was true because to be on FB, you originally had to be a college student. - James Williams

I'll take a fat seat anytime the rich stay home. It's nice to be able to reach into your own pants pocket and pull out something (which is hard to do in coach without dislocating your shoulder...) - Aron Michalski

Kevin he is saying that apple is driving the usage that brings notifications back to the hardware... - Mark Vaske

Apple didn't invent multitasking....Android and WebOS had it first. - James Williams

THen I must be on the SUL - Francine Hardaway

I post Madonna's tweets - Francine Hardaway

hi kids - Aron Michalski

Hi Aronski - Francine Hardaway

What a de-motivator distribution seems to be - Francine Hardaway

Yay - discussion of the Google+ default list - YAY! - Allen Stern

hey Aron - Tina Chase Gillmor

Hi Tina! - Aron Michalski

I figured it would take 3-6 months for a default list - but they did it even sooner! The problem is that celebs have no desire to interact with normals. Twitter allows them to spread the message with just talking to, here they want you to talk with - that won't work. But what the freak do I know, I don't have 100,000 followers so my thoughts are useless apparently. - Allen Stern

You are right, Allen - Francine Hardaway

G+ over-weighting, very astute - cliveb

Allen: they needed to change their suggestions. Telling me to follow Mark Zuckerberg, who has never posted, is funny but really bad for new users to the service. - Robert Scoble

hm, Kevin Rose's google plus page is result 2 for 'kevin' now (in an incognito window) - Kevin Marks

G+ integration with Google Apps - Ankush Narula

i find google+ a hassle to set-up let alone engage with. - Gregg

Robert - why in the heck do you think Cashmore and Zee fought to keep his account on google+ - because they needs it for the seo juice. - Allen Stern

0.2c Developer community: SFDC attracts older developers, GOOG younger. Late middle still MSFT, Energetic Devs doing consumer web startups - cliveb

considering how much scoble loves google+, it's odd that this chat is still on ff - Allen Stern

Tina: because finding people interesting to you is VERY difficult on Google+. - Robert Scoble

Apple is a business disruptor - not a business partner. Salesforce, Google, etc don't have the same latitude. - Ankush Narula

Allen: that's because it's hard to embed Google+ in web pages. - Robert Scoble

and yet - my first time back in months on ff and i can see how much better this still is than google+. - Allen Stern

tahnks scoble - Allen Stern

Exactly, Kevin nailed it - cliveb

What, no world domination Kevin? - Tina Chase Gillmor

i saw an apple 6 demo unit left on a table in the whole foods near me - Allen Stern

My Droid just updated to Gingerbread, finally. Maybe that Motorola purchase has legs - Kevin Marks

Gingerbread? is it a food theme or a fairytail one? - Tina Chase Gillmor

all the UX changed... - Kevin Marks

oh and btw - i predict 60 days and google+ will have aggregation too. - Allen Stern

fun fact; the bit of Moto that makes set top boxes was once an independent company called General Instruments. Donald Rumsfeld was CEO at one point. - Michael Markman

Kevin - self mute if you can. its better that way if you control - Tina Chase Gillmor

As long as Android app revenues are lower than iOS app revenues - Android vs iOS comparisons are moot. iOS hardware profits are the bulk of smartphone profits. - Ankush Narula

I am now, Tina, sorry - Kevin Marks

the crane is getting further away - Kevin Marks

Gingerbread, mango, what's up with all the sweet food names? I guess those big Apple cats aren't interested in desserts. - Alex de Soto

"It is disturbing that the message is intended to stay indoors albeit on a server farm with a single brand on it. Your post makes me wonder if the confederacy of email will occur again, the mega content with first dibs on the mining, the pittance of rent of the cloud and the gatecharge of clients, leeches and cyber pimps. It really makes no sense to be on the network if the message can only go so far. Will the silos insist on being last server standing or will they be satisfied to tag the Post-it with their own RFID when they send it into the wild? If they can still make a buck, I'm sure they will. China wasn't breached in a day..." - Aron Michalski

Gruber's pretty much a Google-hater - it gives him better access inside Apple - Ankush Narula

the battery makes a big difference. - Aron Michalski

I just copied and pasted Gruber's actual quote: "Google seems to feel entitled to copy whatever it wants. Android copies the UI from the iPhone. Places copied data from Yelp. Google+ copies from Facebook. Their coupon thing is a clone of Groupon. And yet it’s Google that acts as though it has been offended when these competitors fight back." - Alex de Soto

Music culture is Dead! - Moe Glitz from iPhone

for now seems Spotify is social async, #TT is social realtime - Jerome Hughes

now that you can upload all your stuff to Amazon and Google for free, it won't matter until Apple does it. It works great, except it maxes out your onboard RAM on Android phones. Desktop, big win. - Aron Michalski

I'll try it agin with more people on it, but way less social than turntable. Though apparently listen on turntable, add to spotify is good - Kevin Marks

Spotify is great on the go...but turntable is cooool - Tina Chase Gillmor

bullish on Big Data boom - cliveb

What do you think 'the YouTube of audio' is? (not just talking about music/movies) - kosso

And I thought album covers where killed by the cassette tapes - MarkDilley

mp3.com from 1999 - Christian Burns

I can only listen to my music when I'm connected to the network? Does anyone remember that the entire world is not 3G, let alone 1G? - Aron Michalski

Spotify has some caching or downloading features for when you have not network access, I think - Stephen Pickering

Cassette and LP's were buddies in the past - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Anyone heard of a "signed" plug-in? - Ankush Narula

I had pretty much given up on music, just listened to Pandora - and #TT surprised me, re-ignited my caring about music again, haven't felt that through spotify - MarkDilley

web app sucks for me at ~200 friends - MarkDilley

I'm conjecturing on the idea of storing all your media on the cloud and the media companies wanting to only make media available so you can't steal it. At least not the increasingly lazy populace. - Aron Michalski

it works great on android - Christian Burns

G+ for the Android update is great. - Aron Michalski

whining iphone users - Christian Burns

slow, crashes browser - MarkDilley

Web app works fine for me with 1200 friends - that's absurd - Ankush Narula

Aron's dead right G+ on Android great - cliveb

+ app crashes on ios 5 beta 4 - Arnold John

Robert's nearly 500 comments on one post (politics and the economy) froze G+ on my Chrome CR-48 yesterday. - Alex de Soto

poor steve, stuck on iphone - Christian Burns

Remember fast trackers: G+, 1 month, 25 million users, no Fail Whale. Try that Twitter. - Aron Michalski

Aron: It's actually the war to steal the entirety of your screen (think Lion full screen apps) - Ankush Narula

Christian- not enough RAM in 98% Android phones...no, make that 99%. - Aron Michalski

it will continue to be the domain of the rich and the addicted. - Aron Michalski

Without the Telecom Act of 96 we'd all have gigabit internet right now, and the first internet meltdown wouldn't have happened - Stephen Pickering

Artists need to diversify their own revenue streams - look at what's happening with musicians over on Etsy http://mashable.com/2011... - Ankush Narula

I buy their t shirts. No streaming required. - Aron Michalski

re music, better to have your favorites stored in higher resolutions than they'll stream, worth the overhead - Jerome Hughes

hi, saw a snippet of Andrew Keen early there, guess he'll be one of the guests - Jerome Hughes

Hey, see what the comment list just did? Can we get G+ to learn that trick? - Aron Michalski

Sorry, I'm the holdup. On now. Starting shortly. - Robert Scoble

What is the word on g+ for Apps accts? Nobody I know cares abt anything else. Just internal Collab. - coldbrew

3 and 0 - Aron Michalski

I want the ones that don't just say "I agree" - Francine Hardaway

Scoble's family blocked him too? - Kevin Marks

my thought as well...noise,noise, noise. - Aron Michalski

+Kevin Marks of course. They were first - Francine Hardaway

noisy people, then the people who follow them - Kevin Marks

Haven't we all been through this before as we organized this very site I'm typing info into? - coldbrew

then, the people I follow who comment on the floods, making te show up in my notifications - Kevin Marks

The collapsing comments would help along with Micah's chrome plug in. - Aron Michalski

yes, coldbrew. Or indeed in blog comments before that - Kevin Marks

Kevin: no, my family doesn't get to see every post. Only some of them. - Robert Scoble

Kevin: Facebook algorithmically filters out a LOT of posts. - Robert Scoble

G+ could learn a great deal from watching an active swarm on FF, circa 2 years ago. - Aron Michalski

a billion shares a day! - Kenny

How about when the original poster +1/Likes a comment, it bubbles up to the top - seems like a moderated approach - Ankush Narula

Current numbers are irrelevant. - coldbrew

It's a marathon, not a sprint. - coldbrew

agreed coldbrew - Kenny

you don't see all the posts on twitter, that's the point. - Kevin Marks

The simple fact is, G+ is also much easier (than FriendFeed) for the average user to digest. - Darren

I joined in Jan 2007 - Francine Hardaway

Google is probably just happy they are not seeing a Wave/Buzz response, getting something more viral. - Aron Michalski

ah hang on, try this link for Keen's interview: http://techcrunch.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

Friendfeed, Twitter and Facebook were training grounds for social media interactions. Made it easy to adopt G+ and whatever comes next. - Alex de Soto

Oslo on G+ was more visceral and compelling. - Aron Michalski

i think Quora has it right - Ankush Narula

G+ is Facebook but for people you're interested in. Unlike Twitter,engagement is confined to comments and likes which means the stream itself is less polluted and easier to find topics/information to converse around. - Darren

Ales -I was feeling the same about the acceptance of plus. we're already well educated in Social - Tina Chase Gillmor

Alex, good point. Perhaps we were just being taught to navigate the stream and learn some manners. - Aron Michalski

it's twiiter+facebook+Friendfeed - Kenny

Ales=Alex - Tina Chase Gillmor

mmm, Ale - Kevin Marks

Where is the startup that allows you to import your g+ data? - coldbrew

It's Twitter spliced with Facebook. - Darren

I can follow/see public folks like Robert, Kevin Marks, etc but I also follow/see my family/friends (if they ever join) - I get to chose! - Kenny

On my way to get some....ale that is. I'll catch the recording later. - Alex de Soto

We need an API first? - coldbrew

I have 50 lists on Facebook - Ankush Narula

Marks: It's pilsner for me today. Too hot. - coldbrew

Oslo - G+ limitation is that you can't post images/video as comment to a post - Doug

Hangouts + Gaming is going to revolutionize things. - Darren

Steve says my chair is too noisy - Tina Chase Gillmor

Robert might need to move to the other end of the counter... - Aron Michalski

So if G+ adds crowdsourced topic tagging (like Quora) maybe the content becomes much more relevant and interesting - Ankush Narula

Naive, Robert. VCs don't talk much about their deals publicly, and they also have lives:-) - Francine Hardaway

Sorry what? - Darren

2 things G+ needs to add/fix quickly before people get annoyed and move on: 1) only show the last 5 replies, minimizes the rest(user can expand all replies if they want), 2) stop pushing posts to the top when there is a new reply or at least make it an option - Kenny

what to who, Darren? - Kevin Marks

I have a Chrome extension that collapsed old posts - Francine Hardaway

http://twitter.com/#!... - Kevin Marks

Kenny +1 - Ankush Narula

- Francine Hardaway -something like that should that should be built in - Kenny

Kevin, in reference to Steve and his "authoritative stream" comment. - Darren

I'd be interested in this crew's thoughts on the 'anonymous' kids wreaking havoc. Any Interest in sharing those? - coldbrew

http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

Kevin - the people who make all this noise are the Scobles, you, etc of the world, those people get put into a certain circle and I look at it when I want - I switch between stream types to see different info - Kenny

Seems like Techmeme has slowed it's crawling down considerably. - coldbrew

Kenny, sounds like you get some utility out of lists (or in this case circles) as also happens here - Jerome Hughes

I need to confess...I'm having a Corona with lime right now. The weekend begins - Tina Chase Gillmor

I forgive you Tina - Francine Hardaway

I agree with Scoble. If your goal is good information, why build a graph based on people instead of interests? - Darren

thank you Francine. That means the world to me ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

Jerome, yes. I just need G+ to allow me to watch select several stream at once, instead of one at a time, for example let me check off and watch my friends and family streams and not see the others until I want ot - Kenny

Darren: The info eventually comes from people, so one has to trust the sources or the info is irrelevant. - coldbrew

Kenny, until you can mix them, do you run multiple tabs for your faves? - Jerome Hughes

people are a good locus of information; twitter allows non-human authorities to speak too - Kevin Marks

Winer seems to be a bit off lately. - coldbrew

and semi-human, too! - Jerome Hughes

I would argue more human, but there ya go. - coldbrew

Jerome, no I just switch between them - kind of a pain right now - Kenny

On G+, I think I've added about 100 people who have made a good comment - it's as simple as mousing over and adding them to the Following circle (and I've removed people just as quickly for too many crappy posts) - Ankush Narula

You can add G+ search in Chrome, and i hear of extensions too - Majento

"If winer didnt built it himself, it sucks" - that's what I'm getting. - coldbrew

Kevin, That would be a clear circle for me in a folder/list/Flipboard sense with the newsbots in a circle and the respected commenters in another. - Aron Michalski

coldbrew, the algorithm can leverage people for prioritization, reputation and ranking of the information. - Darren

I gotcha say Gilmor seems more positive about G+ then any other Google product...I'm shocked - Kenny

any comments on the gaming announcement? - Aron Michalski

coldbrew: I think Winer gets frustrated with closed and centralized solutions - it just so happens that most of the popular services of the day are just that - Ankush Narula

there was a gaming announcement? I thought it was just rumor? - Kenny

It's a much better product than the last 5 they have presented, even if they are kinda parts of G+ - Aron Michalski

Darren: I suppose. But, I'm one of those people that doesn't like the algorithm, nor data mining. Personal preference, of course. - coldbrew

Kenny... since gMail, perhaps - Jerome Hughes

that's also part of what kicks off that article citation links, those "entity" accounts ~ "personas" - Jerome Hughes

Because Google screwed up - Ankush Narula

he now has two accounts with the ame name, right? - Kenny

I'm with Gillmor on this one. I'll say no more - coldbrew

yep - Ankush Narula

@violetblue on G+ http://t.co/pUDi0mA (face up internet full of socializing sexual humans). - cliveb

@mashable on twitter is Pete Cashmore's account - Kevin Marks

as is @petecashmore - Kevin Marks

Hrm. Is this a little bias I'm sensing now? - Darren

Darren? how so? - Robert Scoble

The problem for businesses is authenticity and brand infringement - Google needs to create certified accounts - Ankush Narula

Maybe not an announcement... https://plus.google.com/1100125... - Aron Michalski

#FB eventually intro'ed fan pages for this - Jerome Hughes

http://venturebeat.com/2011... Club Penguin in their sights - Kevin Marks

Scobilzer is the internet! - cliveb

Are they insisting on us regurgitating info or us morphing into a brand with our name? - Aron Michalski

I'm confused ;) - Kenny

it's a word now - Tina Chase Gillmor

Is Facebook == Mark Zuckerberg? - Ankush Narula

individuals interact with other individuals and with institutions both - Jerome Hughes

http://venturebeat.com/author... - Kevin Marks

I sometimes think of some of you as a source , rarely a brand (Scoble maybe) but always individuals. - Aron Michalski

is Andy Carvin NPR? - Kevin Marks

thanks, Kevin! - Jerome Hughes

There's no question that G+ is genius. It's completely changed my perspective of Google and their future. It's also changed how I think about their existing services. - Darren

that's this point: http://radar.oreilly.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

I can't wait until it is integrated with GReader, Gmail, etc - Francine Hardaway

Kevin: yes, Andy is NPR. - Robert Scoble

Kevin, here's Andy Carvin on Google+: https://plus.google.com/1173780... - Robert Scoble

WOW I agree with Gilmor - Kenny

Steve is right on - Christian Burns

Everyone settle down now, G+ is a brand new service, they will work through these issues (sum might agree with it others won't), Twitter and Facebook all have gone through these issues and will still go through similar issue - It took years for Facebook to get to 750mil users - it will take a while for G+ to grow past these issues - Kenny

I agree with him as well. - Francine Hardaway

I value Kevin and Steve's pointers more than a media source, more along the lines of an advisor or spiritual guide. I'm sure that sounds daft, but because they bring their personality and brains to the equation, it adds value to the post. - Aron Michalski

Its a bete - Christian Burns

beta - Christian Burns

Watch Ed Chi embedded in G+ for direction http://bit.ly/pJWl7m - cliveb

Keen, :) no - Christian Burns

Kevin's voice sounds particularly good today - Tina Chase Gillmor

I'm not sure how a public persona would not be on it (I'm not a public persona, so I am not on it). - coldbrew

is this keen? https://plus.google.com/1145004... - Kevin Marks

I just joined, Will there be an mp3 download rob? - Christian Burns

this group rocks… here's a list that _might_ be useful... http://twitter.com/list... - Jerome Hughes

Airplay - Ankush Narula

thank me! ;) - Kenny

ah, thank you tina. - Kevin Marks

more so than someone who is co-opted by a corporate plan (well, Salesforce has nothing to offer me professionally other than a day of employment next month). - Aron Michalski

thanks, Kenny! - Jerome Hughes

I have missed the gang sooooo much - Christian Burns

thanks guys. - coldbrew

Thank you. Cya next time! - Nir Ben Yona

Reid is very smart. I once flew home in a private plane with him, great times. - Robert Scoble

the quality that Facebook and Twitter have is cohesiveness ... but they are also traps into a system that is very hard to 'get out of' pretty much because of inertia of numbers - Xenophrenia
