Obama is running a brilliant campaign and McCain is running a terrible one. I think that's telling and speaks to their mgmt skills
Paul Haahr, Chris Pounds, Andy Kaufman and 25 other people liked this
McCain's campaign is nothing but whining ('why does the world love Obama?'), attack ('Why didn't Obama make political hay out of wounded vets in Germany?'), and big-oil ideas ('more drilling -- in 30 years we'll start to really think about getting off the crack!'). It is amazing to watch the mainstream media cower before the GOP message machine, regardless.
- JB Holston
wait a sec... isn't Obama losing according to latest polls? what in the hell are you talking about?
- Noah David Simon
I think your rating of either campaign might be slightly influenced by which candidate you favor.
- Michael Tefft
true, somehow McCain isn't getting any press coverage(and if any all bad), and Obama is parading around the world like he's already won.
- clarke thomas

Obama is a "hip" guy, McCain hardly knows how to pick up a phone. That's a tough challenge for a campaign office.
- Juan Carlo Rodríguez
@Vincent - great managers hire great people (and the greatest managers hire people smarter than themselves in specific areas) ....I will say that I think the one thing Obama should be careful of is not assuming the role of President before the 'people' have actually elected him. It's good to go overseas and show your stuff but bad if there is the potential for the backlash of people who don't want him to assume his victory before the people have even spoken....(and yes that is a Canadians outsider POV)
- leigh himel
Then why are they neck and neck and in some polls McCain leading? Just saying. You're right on the campaigns, just saying, why isn't it making a huge difference for Obama? I can't figure it out either.
- Jim Kukral
McCain is too busy firing people from his campaign to actually manage it.
- jcunwired
A candidate's campaign and campaign staff is akin to the cabinet and other positions when assuming the presidency. So, by this measure I agree that McCain's campaign has been a scary look at what we could expect from his administration. The relentless gaffe's by McCain show a lack of coordination by his team. If they can't get it together now - what makes us believe they could do it once they were in office?
- AJ Kohn
I guess Obama's staff wasn't to blame when someone took recorded his gaffe about Guns and Religion, because, after all, his campaign is 'brilliant'. (sarcasm for those who don't think the original post in this thread was silly).

Marc Andreessen spent 1.5 hours w/ Obama 1.5 years ago and blogged about it http://tinyurl.com/create.php The best bit is this quote: "[MA] asked him directly, how concerned should we be that you haven't had meaningful experience as an executive -- as a manager and leader of people?" Obama replied, "Watch how I run my campaign -- you'll see my leadership skills in action."
- Furqan
@Geoffrey: brilliant deduction. so if I say "people cling to Obama because they're stupid and think socialism is a good idea," that's not just as offensive to your side of the fence? Whether or not every liberal thinks Red Staters are ignorant religious fanatics (and whether or not it's true), if the candidate wants their votes, he'd better not say it.

Not JUST religious fanatics (whether or not it's true), but the space limitation prevents me from completing the list ;-)

@Vincent, is it not important the people you select to run things for you. There's a funny thing called a Presidential Cabinet, and this is exactly what the future President will be doing -- choosing people to run the country. While campaign is certainly not a great comparison, it is a great way to see how a candidate chooses his closest advisors, mentors, and friends -- after all, those same people will run the country for four years.
- David Adewumi
I'm not offended by you saying that I'm stupid and I think socialism is a good idea because I like Obama. And you shouldn't be offended by me saying I think you're stupid for believing in God either.
- Geoffrey Hamilton
from twhirl
@Jim I think Obama hasn't sealed the deal with a clear majority yet primarily because (a) he's a black man and we've never elected an African-American president so that's always going to be a hurdle and is going to cut into his margins, (b) he's young and not nationally known up to recently, so he is still introducing himself to the country, especially those who don't tune in during primaries.

A few months back, one of my cards was used to buy about 8K worth of home theater equipment at a BestBuy.

Mike, while doing some work with AML (anti $$ Laundry) and the fraud div of a major financial entiry, we think the hotest zone lies in the .RU sectors and also their eixiting business in the north americas. Most of the Strip clubs are being run and managed by such East Bloc Countries. I sincerly advise each and every1 reading this thread NEVER to use your CC in a strip club !!
- Peter Dawson
Peter, that is very interesting and not surprising at all. These organized criminal entities specifically in the European sector dabble extensively with breeched cc data, child smuggling, drugs. They are truly a one stop shop for for fraud. We currently have a tremendous problem with Romania. Russia still on our list, but has taken a back seat too Romania and South East Asia. Africa comes in third on that list.

That wheel on the thumb side never let me grab it firmly so cramps happened also. This led me to stop spending money experimenting with mice--a good thing probably.

To clean the MM ball put the MM upside down over a slightly damp thin lintless cloth or towel on a table and move it around while pressing down lightly so that the ball moves around. The gunk eventually falls out. Works for me anyway.
- Fred Yankowski
Horrible, horrible miscegenation. Nasty flat profile that doesn't fit my hand the way even a $20 generic mouse does; slippery surface (hint: friction reduces effort); stupid easily-accidentally-triggered squeeze buttons; gratuitously nonstandard tilt action for clicking; nasty scrollball thing that's so small you can't even get a decent scroll distance with one finger movement. The worst mouse I've used in 20 years of computing; even the original clunky Mac mouse with the square button was better than this.
- Earle Martin
Can't actually say I've used the MM, but I've trailed lots of mice in stores. My favorite, strangely, is still the Microsoft Basic optical mouse. There are two key reasons for this: 1. It's light ... many of the fancier mice are just too heavy. 2. The scroll wheel middle click toughness to scroll resistance is balanced nicely ... many mice have a really loose scroll and a really tough middle click - I hate that because it induces cut-n-paste related RSI.

"I've noticed the same thing. I'm getting a lot more visits from FriendFeed and Twitter than most anyplace else. Except when I get on the home page of Digg, BBC, NYT, or some site like that (and those are harder and harder to get onto). One other thing I noticed is that as blogging turned into a business fewer and fewer links were coming my way from other blogs. Still working it out what it all means, but for me it means going back to the basics and participating, finding interesting stories that other bloggers are ignoring, and getting stuff no one else is (interviews with Congressmen/women, for instance)."
- Robert Scoble
@Robert, I think the reason for the traffic from FF and not elsewhere is that you are spending a significant amount of your time here having conversations here instead of on your blog or or on other blogs. This would obviously drive traffic from here. Since you are not blogging as much as you used to, you are not showing up as often in the 'traditional' aggregators as you used to. This all seems obvious to me and probably you but I thought I'd point it out anyway.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Jeff: true, but I noticed this trend even before I started spending more time here on FriendFeed. Also, other blogger friends of mine are noticing the same thing. Also, I've put out a ton of videos that deserve a lot of links (and would have gotten them four years ago) but now it's very hard to get a link.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert, I think as you mentioned as Blogging became a business, people started acting like business people, and became greedy and selfish, and began to avoid linking to their 'competitors'. Unfortunately this is counter to the original spirit of the internet and Blogging.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Another point is that there IS significantly more competition for eyeballs out there now than there was 4 years ago. Even though there are many more users on the internet now, there are exponentially more places for them to spend time. This certainly can lead to less traffic and less links.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I agree with Jeff. I have seen several community projects that kicked off virally a couple of years ago fall on their ass over the last year or so because people got greedy and tried to build their own walled gardens.
- Jonathan Beckett
If traffic means the possibility of having some revenue, then people will try to get it. Communities suffer because people with the will and energy to work for a common purpose are very scarce, if they stop contributing, the communities normally die. It is very difficult to find a balance to this.

There's a massive lack of any kind of a sense of humor going on in this campaign, especially when it comes to McCain. He used a crack about beating his wife when he felt that a reporter asked him a "Have you stopped beating your wife yet, Senator?" question, and he got beat up about it. There have been many similar instances, and maybe this is one, too. I don't particularly like John McCain, but I think everyone needs to stop jumping his shit about trivial crap.
- David Worrell
Michael: a man who attends to the details -- I like that. :) Let me rephrase: the Maccabean meme -- the archetype of the ethnic nationalist holy warrior -- is a product of the Old Testament mindset or culture. (And there are many fine things in the OT -- I am not using the term in an exclusively pejorative way.) In any case, Lieberman praising McCain as a Maccabee doesn't inspire confidence in me about McCain; nor is it a tribute to McCain's sense of humor (or even sanity).

I've sold lots of photos from Flickr but it just seems that it's been heating up lately. Wondering if this is more of a trend as buyers move away from traditional stock agencies and more towards things like Flickr etc. Sold one to a magazine yesterday for $100 and one to a text book company today for $150.
- Thomas Hawk
I've sold one, but had other 2 propositions that didn't work in the end.
- Mário Pires
I've given them away to smaller organizations and literary journals. I think, though, Thomas, that you're very high profile, too. That accounts for something. In fact, if I do a search for tags that I use, and that I'm the biggest user of (Flagstaff or Northern Arizona, for instance), I don't even come up -- or at least not in the first few pages). I'm not sure why that is. Congratulations on the sales. I hope this is a trend.
- Dawn M. Armfield
It's possible that art directors are looking towards Flickr because they can buy "unique" images at a cheaper price than getting a photographer to create something original. Just a thought.

I think that Flickr probably has a much better selection of really good photos than can be found at most stock agencies, due to the shear number of photos that are uploaded to it on a daily basis. It baffles the mind why Yahoo does not see this and build facility for users to sell stock images, and possibly fine art prints as well. This would be a win-win for both Yahoo and users.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Jeff I've been saying that for years. I had a few brief conversations with Stewart Butterfield about it back in 2004 and he mentioned that they would look into it. Nothing ever happened though. The stock photo business is a $2 billion business. Seems like a no brainer to me. I thought since Bill Gates owns Corbis 100% that they might have been a good fit for that given a Yahoo acquisition by MSFT.
- Thomas Hawk
I would say it speaks more to your skill as a photographer than Flickr's appeal as a stock photo source. But I've been wrong before.
- Randy Hall
Thomas, maybe Flickr's new management will see things differently now, but I'm not holding my breath...
- Jeff P. Henderson
I sell a few images per year on Flickr. More importantly, people see images when then lead to direct real-life work.

I have sold a few through flickr. People just searching for themes then contacting me if they find one of mine which suits their theme. The issue is then the sales process. I have to import my flickr photos into Imagekind for that.

Why doesn't Flickr offer a sell option? Zooomr was thinking of doing it but has changed its mind and now it looks like Protade is trying to start up as a Flickr/stock cross breed for this exact purpose.

It was before I started using Del.icio.us, so I don't have the links handy. :-(

Julian, since his primary base of followers are on Twitter, I think it's fair to guess that the bulk of his FriendFeed followers were responding to his twitter broadcasts. While Jason should've probably said "following me on FriendFeed in ADDITION to following me on Twitter" (instead of switching) if he has 1/4th as many followers on here as there, it's still pretty impressive after 2 weeks.

Andy, I think where social media works best is when it becomes more than just online. Less about the conversations on here per se and more about relationship building. It can definitely work in an online only environment, but I think it adds an element when people take things beyond the network. I'm better friends with Robert Scoble online because I've met him in person and become friends offline. Geo contact recommendations can help build these offline connections.
- Thomas Hawk
These offline connections then become powerful reinforcements for online activity. Local Flickr user groups are a good example. But Flickr has never capitalized on this kind of search or recommendation technology. FF is innovating very quickly as opposed to flickr and could do this better.
- Thomas Hawk

- Mitchell Tsai

- mike "glemak" dunn
This can work informally through rooms. Here's a "Bay Area" room. http://friendfeed.com/rooms.... But it would be more powerful if it were managed and organized more formally by the FF system itself. Not to mention when the first "we met on FF" marriage takes place, it will be just about in time for the New York Times article on FF as the web's hottest new social network as an anecdotal story.

- Colby Olson
http://friendfeed.com/setting.... This page is essentially worthless. Rather than focusing simply on higher profile FF members, FF should rank the recommendation page on who has the most mutual friends with you. This would be far more accurate. Then overlay that with a filter by country, state, city or zip. Then page it and you'd have one hell of a contact recommendation system.
- Thomas Hawk

Craig, connections will be made informally for sure. Rooms, meetups, blogger dinners, brightkite, etc. It is human nature for some of this to happen around any communications medium. No, what I'm talking about is leveraging this natural tendency through official FF recommendation technology. It is far more powerful that way and the offline FF interaction solidifies the online experience.
- Thomas Hawk
I have it!!! FF should strike up a deal with MOO Cards with a special FF design. It lists your Name and FF address. Then, with the assistance of local cafes/bars/coffee shops, they could have a small stand where you can leave some for other FF to pick up.

"This year, however, proponents of same-sex marriage have found encouragement in both the California Supreme Court decision and in a subsequent order by Gov. David A. Paterson of New York, instructing agencies in his state to recognize same-sex marriages performed legally elsewhere. The California court has also rebuffed several challenges to its May 15 decision, made by two conservative legal groups and by Republican attorneys general who fear that the California marriages will lead to legal challenges brought in their own states."
- Bret Taylor
The current UK administration defused the issue of same sex unions by the introduction of Civil Partnerships in 2005 linked to an across the board change of relevant laws to provide parity with married couples - with the exception of those with religiious objections (who should really know better) this has gone smoothly and been introduced across the UK.

Any bigots playing the victim card are ignorant of basic civics.
- Ruchira S. Datta
@Ruchira I agree. The Cali court is playing exactly its Constitutional role, and it's essentially a conservative and Federalist approach to reconciling changing societal mores and the demands of a minority. As I've commented elsewhere, we are winning this argument, and we're doing it state by state, rather than through a Federal fiat, which simply is not feasible at this time. All good things...

Don't they kind of deserve it Mike. I mean when one of the "innovators" (Joshua) that you've hired says that his experience there was extremely frustrating and blames management when he leaves that says a lot. Stewart couched it much more eloquently but kinda said the same thing in his resignation letter. For execs to trash a company on the way out tells you that it must be really, really, bad there for innovation. Shouldn't pressure be applied to fix that if Yang won't do it on his own?
- Thomas Hawk
I'm not saying they don't have problems. They do. But I think the reporting that is going on right now is way overdone, especially by TechCrunch. I use a LOT of Yahoo services and I'm very satisfied with them. They're never down and I'm happy with the features. Regarding the frustrations of the founders of the companies that they bought - I'm surprised that they lasted as long as they did. Good for them for cashing out and moving on to do something brilliant somewhere else.
- Mike Doeff
And I firmly believe that a Yahoo/Microsoft merger would have been a disaster on the same level as AOL / Time Warner or AOL / Netscape. Companies CAN turn around. Just look at where Apple was in the late 90's and where they are now.
- Mike Doeff
They lasted as long as they did because they had lock ups and were financially incented not to leave. This was Yahoo's opportunity to convince them that they were serious about innovating. Instead Terry Semel was more concerned with convincing a patsy board to make him the highest paid CEO in America in 2006. They deserve every bit of negative fallout that they are getting now. Hopefully it produces change which results in all your favorite Yahoo services actually improving.
- Thomas Hawk
Spot on Thomas. They were compensated.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
What bothers me Thomas is that Google does not have a perfect track record when it comes to acquiring innovative start-up's and keeping the founders happy. Dodgeball was a disaster. Take a look at this photo by the founders who quit Google last year http://flickr.com/photos... Why does Google get a pass on stories like that and Yahoo gets crucified?
- Mike Doeff
Mike: there's a huge brain drain going on at Google too. Lots of "famous geeks" are leaving Google to start new companies, or take time off to enjoy their new wealth. I think that Google gets a pass because it's a company that tons of people still want to work at. Yahoo? Not nearly as interesting a company. The general belief in the valley is that Google is moving up and Yahoo is moving down. That explains a ton of why each company gets the press it does.
- Robert Scoble
Google buys the wrong innovating companies for God only knows what reason. Dodgeball? Jaiku? Picasa? These companies had no chance in the first place. Google gets a pass though because they still innovate there and still do develop kick ass products in house, not the least of which has been the best search engine on the internet for the past few years.
- Thomas Hawk
Robert, I agree with you on these companies going in different directions right now. I also think that Google's brain drain will start to bite them in the not too distant future. Plus they've hired a LOT of people in the last year. That is going to catch up to them as well with more red tape, disorganization, turf wars, politics, etc. It could become another Yahoo if they're not careful.
- Mike Doeff
@Thomas I guess Google wanted to develope services like Jaiku or Picasa from the start but instead of investing so much money on research and developement they have probably realised it would be cheaper to buy an existing company who already created a good product and go on with it.

Google buys the wrong companies? I don't agree - but they do seriously f#$k them up rendering them useless. The need a major policy change here
- DC Crowley
DC: companies often buy other companies, not for the products those companies make, but for the people who work there. And, anyway, when a starving startup employee gets to a big company there's a period of just getting used to not having to starve for resources anymore. When I got to Microsoft I remember just watching the live streaming video for a while. It was amazing the kinds of things you get when you work at a huge company.
- Robert Scoble
One last thing before I hit the sack... I don't get the sense that every high-profile person who has left Yahoo had a terrible experience there. Read this blog post from Bradley Horowitz (former head of their Advanced Development Division: http://snurl.com/2lljj I'm sure that part of that is just being diplomatic but he seemed to genuinely enjoy his time there.
- Mike Doeff
This is a great conversation. Needless to say it could never have happened on Twitter. Thanks guys.
- Ole Begemann
Right before I left GM back in the summer of 2006, one of my colleagues and I visited Google and the same day went over to Yahoo. As relatively important customers (GM at that time was bidding on over a million keywords) of course we met with key execs at both companies. The juxtaposition couldn't have been more startling. The Google execs were all about listening and helping formulate solutions for our needs and our vision. Yahoo, on the other hand, were arrogant and dismissive. To me, that says it all.
- Michael Wiley
Mike, you can't really be pointing to Bradley Horowitz's resignation post as proof that Yahoo embraces innovation can you? First off, Horowitz is one of the most savvy *business executives* out there. Horowitz would *never* do something as personally reckless as calling Yahoo execs out like Joshua just did at TechCrunch. That post of his was very carefully crafted business speak. 2nd. Notice how many innovators at Yahoo he thanked in it -- many which are no longer there.
- Thomas Hawk
Flickr still rocks, the world still spins.
- Ross Hill
Flickr, delicious, upcoming, these innovative sites and technologies *could* not only be better today, but along with say a buy of digg and maybe a few other properties, Yahoo could have effectively created something amazing *and* owned social search, which is significant. Instead Yahoo bungled social search, didn't know what to do with these properties and got in the way of innovation, mostly, I'm guessing by pure management ineptitude.
- Thomas Hawk
Of all the "big" internet companies out there, which ones have even attempted to embrace social technologies? I can count on one hand. Yahoo is one of them. They'll get my respect for not sitting back like a LOT of other companies did for a long time. Sure they're having tons of management problems now, but I'm not going to knock their services that I use and enjoy today. Playing coulda, shoulda, woulda is a waste of time in my book. Especially when you have a company as big as they are.
- Bwana ☠
I fault Microsoft for missed opportunities moreso than Yahoo. IE6. Sourcesafe. Office. Sharepoint. Vista. Zune. Windows Media Player. PlaysForSure. They screwed up so many times it's hard to digest at times. No company is perfect, and I think Yahoo does have its issues that we should report on. Personally, I'm not going forget what they did right for me, since the early 90s. Management is only part of a company. Their output still earns my respect, which a lot of hard working people put forward.
- Bwana ☠
While I make my Yahoo jokes about management, I'm not going to forget how their tools enhanced my online experience. The talent at that company is astounding, and a majority of it is NOT at the executive level. So sure, bash management, I don't care. Flickr, Yahoo mail, Yahoo games, Yahoo pipes, My Yahoo, Yahoo UI, Yahoo Instant Messenger, these I do care about and I don't want them to go away because of replaceable management.

AT&T's Edge network sucks the big one.
- Thomas Hawk
thats exactly why I don't use it, too hard to read stuff in the sites that don't care to make a mobile one. I could care less about speed, as long as it is faster than dialup. I don't expect fast speeds on a phone
- BCK
Thomas - Verizon's faster networks aren't much better. While it makes sense to have the 3G and other high-speed bands in the population centers ... Some of us travel?. One area where the US is way behind and it's gonna take a while.
- Charlie Anzman
Thomas, I agree with Charlie based on limited testing w/Verizon's EVDO. I think the one thing I will do with the next gen of the iPhone is to wait at least a couple of weeks and get some hands-on demo of how much faster 3G is than Edge. I worry that a.) it won't be enough faster to get really excited about (esp. where video is concerned) and b.) so many people will buy the phone in SF that the 3G network will be strained to the point of being as useless as Edge. I hope I'm wrong on both counts.
- Robert Seidman
You guys are overthinking this. I have four of the most expensive mobile phones. They all suck for using the Web except for the iPhone. When everyone has a decent Web browser then usage will take off, just like it has on the iPhone. This is NOT a bandwidth thing. I've watched my son. He uses his iPhone all the time on the Web even though it's slow thanks to Edge. He had plenty of other Internet-capable phones before and never used them for the Web. Me neither. I hate my Nokia and Windows Mobile devices.
- Robert Scoble
...at least I hate them for accessing the Web. Interesting that the Nokia is a better phone (the radio in it is better) and a better content creation device (the camera is way better and it does video, something that the iPhone doesn't do). But the mainstream users don't care about that. Apple just nails the sweet spot for most users. I hope Nokia and Microsoft can get their acts together when it comes to Web browsing.
- Robert Scoble
I think it has a lot to do with data plans and all the "extras" that people think that mobile phone companies are trying to pile onto their accounts. Extra for SMS, ringtones, data!!!
- Lyndon Washington
The one thing that keeps me from using the web on my phone more is that stupid and extremely retarded excuse of a browser. It is a big pile of caca de poopoo. I use my little LG enV on the Verizon network.
- Yolanda
Scoble, no offense man, but you're drunk (on many levels) more often than I am. I've had my iPhone as long as you have so I don't think I'm missing the point. The browser is phenomenal, but if all I have available to me is Edge I don't use the browser much (the notable exception is FriendFeed because it's usually fast enough, even over Edge). My experience is that WiFi is about 10x faster than Edge. If 3G is only 2x as fast as Edge, it might not be very significant to me.
- Robert Seidman
Quality of the experience, access to the right equipment (both availability and price), and other expenses (data plan/phone/sms charges, etc.) either take the mobile web or put the mobile web out of most (casual?) users' hands. For me, it's all three: I don't want to switch networks for an iPhone, and it would be hard to justify the expense with all the other stuff I have going on. And...
