Question of the Week (from my four-year-old): If the firehouse is on fire, do the firemen call other firemen?

Excellent question!!!!!

cloning the Neanderthal - http://digg.com/general...
"There are things we need to do simply because we are 'human' (and that is not a good thing, in my book, but that's another story). We need to have answers for questions. This is the very journey we started long before time itself (for us). The question is, how much of a "mammoth" is that mammoth we will bring to life in some form or another, and how much of a "neanderthal" is that neanderthal. Then the next question: a mammoth is an elephant; no problem; but what is a neanderthal? Is it is human-like animal, or is it a human? What happens if the newborn is exposed to a human family, and will it develop somewhat like a human child with down syndrome? Why not resurrecting someone's grandfather? How will they feel? How about resurrecting lots of clones of that grandfather and sending them to some mine deep in a desolate desert for hard labor? Science is great. But it needs to be managed. With great power comes great responsibility (and I am not quoting from a comic book here). I mean it...."

Twitter is open, which is great. But when Twitter is down, we are 100% locked-in, and that sucks.

I use Jaiku when Twitter is down. Both Twitter and Jaiku feed to my Friendfeed stream anyway.

Anyone has any idea what is the matter with twitter and why it goes down or comes to a grinding stop? Did they grow too fast or something and their infrastructure is collapsing onto itself?

What is more powerful? A Like or a Comment?

1+1=2 ! I do both if I like something AND I have something to say!
- Geoff Schultz
Comment adds more personality. But, both jump the item to the top again so I wouldn't think it makes much difference.
- David Risley
I agree with Geoff, if it is real good I do both, if I want to add something I comment and if I am tired and in a hurry I just like it.
- Jon Erickson
from twhirl
Is it just me or do comments not bring an older post to the top as high as a like would?
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
comments FTW @shey they seem to bring them to the top of my list
- acedanger
I'd say a comment because it shows someone actually took the time to write something. Both together would be even more powerful.
- Morton Fox
Comments are informative - like is just preference
- Peter Dawson
I'd say same level of "power," but I only comment if I have something to say. A bunch of comments just saying "This is a good post/message/whatever" aren't that valuable. On the other hand, all the likes go on one line, and each comment adds a new line, so visually, a comment adds more weight, perhaps.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
What if you do both?
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I'm with Lindsay. I often do both.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
@Lindsay Well nothing's more powerful than both. I mean just one or the other.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
They should just allow us to configure the text of the 'Like' button since it means different things to different people.
- Akiva Moskovitz
comments are a form of expression but a "like" opens the door to a new connection...I say "Like" is more powerful in this arena...
- Anthony Farrior
from fftogo
@Anthony I think that's what I'm trying to get at. Psychologically, if someone comments on something, but doesn't "Like" it, I think that says a lot.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
It depends on the comment, I guess ;-)
- Robert B. Morshe
yes Twitter is down. Now is a good time to work! No noise on FriendFeed! Heh.

Joke's on us. With all the talk of a Twitter boycott, Twitter decided to preemptively boycott us.
- Mark Logan
Robert, any insight why Twitter is down a lot more often these days?
- Rudy Amid
Wait - I thought it was the opposite! Once Twitter is down, that's when FriendFeed gets noisy! ;)
- Nathaniel Payne
Rudy - see this: http://blog.compete.com/2008...
- Christopher Dickens
did it occur to anyone that maybe the FF guys are sabotaging Twitter to grab their users? :-)

Is anyone tracking Twitter downtime? Seems to happen several times a day now.

from Alert Thingy
Dana, at my blog you can see a bunch of the conversation we've all been having about Twit-Out http://jerseysuburbia.com Some might disagree, but a bunch of us think it's worth a try.
- Andrew Dobrow
is Twhirl down too? Ah well, time for me to return to reality *shudders*
- Iain Baker
I bet it does. Matter of fact, we've already got a great discussion going surrounding it. A boycott doesn't always have to "make change", it can simply spark several discussions around the topic. http://friendfeed.com/e... My goal is to learn from the twit-out, and share that knowledge with everyone who cares.

Jeff, I wish there would be a Captain Quint scene (played by Robert Shaw) in which he shows up and promises to scale Twitter for the outrageous sum of $10,000. "For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing."
- Karim
thank god for FF though!
- Sarah Perez
I think this is the first time I've blinked today... glad Twhirl has FriendFeed support
- SolidSmack

@Karim - and Cap'n Quint is joined by Cap'n Kirk (Scotty. I need. Twitter. Now!) and Cap'n Crunch ... who's just on hand to offer sugary goodness to take the edge off this whole damn thing.

I wonder if Evan even realizes the dialog his Tweet has created here on FF. He doesn't seem to be active based on his Comment & Like history unless he's a lurker. I just find it so interesting how so much dialog is created here without the knowledge of the originators at times.

So dexter isn't doing well once again, can't keep anything down... Monday he goes in for the heartworm treatments, poor guy
I am wishing Dexter all the best. He is a good dog, and I am certain he will recover soon enough to enjoy the dog park again. I think the "heart worm" medication may be responsible for part in him not being able to keep food down.

Unfortunately he doesn't start the medication until monday so that doesn't explain his current problems
