This got something to do with Twit Leo? - Dieoxide

You've got to be kidding, why would he do that? The next four years would be a constant battle of who is in charge. You would just want her to be his VP since it was close. She lost, its over. :-) - David Tolsma

Guess you're right - it's Biden. In retrospect a pretty good choice. - Leo Laporte

prediction wrong - Ryan

Biden is a good choice for Obama. - ComicList

I like the whole omniscient unmiked mom conceit. - Oldengrey (Jay)

I enjoyed it a lot, I'm sure you can find a way to incorporate everything. - Mike Lewis

She's putting on the pressure to do a podcast. Ay yi yi. - Leo Laporte

Are you the line extension or is she? She was charming. - Oldengrey (Jay)

Looked more like "Lunch with Leo". A new feature on TWIT - Dave Rutter

She was wonderful, I enjoyed listening to her thinking. A breath of fresh air! :D - Shawna Bergen

@leolaporte - Your mom was great. Really enjoyed her being there in studio and speaking up. I do think she should have her own podcast... dump her brain so that we can all hear it. :-) - C.B.

We love your job too, and how well you do it. :) - Margaret Kerr from twhirl

i love your job except when i am trying to get something done, because i can't tune you out. - robert steburg

I love your job too and if I had it I might be able to afford all of the "toys" you turn me on to. Keep at it! - Mike

@Robert: I think there might be a direct correlation between how much Leo loves his job and my inability to do mine when he is on. :) PS I can't stop whistling the Skype Dial Tone now! - Johnny

We love that you love your job. For some of us in our jobs, however, the opposite of love applies. :-( - Dave "Freedom 35"

Do what you love, love what you do. It is a fundemental truth that escapes most of us. - Rob Fuller from twhirl

love that you love your job so should we all - Danny Pratt

And I love the output. I look forward to Macbreak Weekly and TWiT. - Jonathon

It's a great job. Congrats on 24 hours of iphone. - Ryan

You made it happen, made it lovable. - Michael W. May from twhirl

24 Hours was great stuff! - Patrick Jordan

You do have a very cool job Leo. If you are hiring, let me know. - Michael McGimpsey

I'm hoping to have a similar job someday soon. - Vermyndax from twhirl

Great. I just read your Twitter when thinking about quitting my job. Now I'm a wimp if I don't bail. - Andrew Leyden

EVIL WEARS PRADA!!! - Business Blogger 【ツ】™

How could you not love your job! Actually you could not love it, but you wouldn't do it as well if you didn't love it. - Jenz

Great to read someone loves there job! I love the positive vibe. I've just subscribed, I don't know what your job is... pardon my ignorance :) - Adrian Nadeau

I love both of my jobs too! - Douglas Porter from twhirl

Apple should become a sponsor for all the free promotion you are going to give them tomorrow. - ComicList

You think anyone will watch the ENTIRE 24 hours of it? - tehsnknplnt from twhirl

It is going to be fun to watch. Thanks for doing this leo. - Shannon Carver from Alert Thingy

Yeah, I'm the kind of person that really needs sleep as well. If I don't get at least 4 hours a night, I'm completely useless. And I'm 16! - Dillon K. Hoops

You know you love it, you're never too old as long as you still love it. And I might actually watch the whole 24hrs just for the heck of it. - Margaret Kerr from twhirl

You are too old for this! But you are going to have fun. I couldn't do it that's for sure. Best of luck, I'll be watching! - Mike Lewis

It is a sad revelation when you realize you are starting to get too old for some things. Then it begins to hit you that it will only get worse. – Our Daily Affirmation – Today is the best day of the rest of your life. - David Z

Must say I like that the focus starts in this part of the world again (Australia/NZ). - James Fridley

Coffee and sugar are your friends. Get through it and take a few days off afterward :) - Brett Kelly

.Mac is don! Oh happy days! - Clay Hummer from twhirl

Never thought I'd here that, people being happy about .Mac being down - Andrew Fielding from twhirl

Age like a fine wine. - LPH™ and his dog P™

Leo, are you a robot? - Randy

Well, at least we know why this time... :) - Clay Hummer from twhirl

Apple store at Stanford Shopping Center has a short line because the mall is closed at night until 5:45. 5am good to go. - Oldengrey (Jay)

Good night. - Morton Fox

What price passion for the work we do? I know I can't do it anymore without major caffeine and catnaps! - Barb Gonzalez

in the wee hours of the morning....remember your cell phone and call people....and I'll be up with ya too. - Walter McNabb

Shouldn't Apple just GIVE you a phone - If NYT and others get review units why NOT the CHIEF! - Jeff Garlick

That is VERY cool - Grant

Sounds great! I can't wait to see it. - James Mowery from feedalizr

quite exciting :) - justine

Sweet! I have the day off, and I'll be tuning in whilst I play with my new 3g iphone :) - Jeremy

I will definitely be tuning into this. Very cool! - Matt Donders

Cool. I will (as always) be listening....and viewing. ;) - BISQ

It turns out I won't be able to get iPhone 3G on launch day but watching TWiT Live is the next best thing - Grant

Wow, Dane is really pulling out all the stops trying to earn that Kevlar vest isn't he? Very cool news! - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce

Ooo, I'm tuning in too! - Dillon K. Hoops

awesome news, now how about posting TWiT a few minutes early tonight in celebration? - Jordan

We don't hold on to TWiT - Dane posts it the minute it's ready. (Which should be soon.) - Leo Laporte

Is it cool just to buy a 32MB iTouch, most of the coolness, none of the AT&T? - Steven Van Tilburg from twhirl

I figured it'd be cool to buy a used, deactivated iPhone with most of the coolness and none of the AT&T, and it would still have the potential to be a phone again. - MiniMage, enterRUPPted

I wonder if Super Monkey Ball would fit on a 32 MB iPod Touch:) - Grant

I have to agree with Keith, Leo. Is there going to be an audio stream or podcast of some of the twitlive activities for the new iPhone debut? Being on dial-up it's hard for me to watch the video streaming. - Mol, FF Music Lover

Waiting to see magic unroll on the iPhone 3G marathon coverage.. Leo, who is joining you on the 24 live? - Du Senyao Peter

Leo should do it telethon style... Have really cheesey variety acts, I'm thinking a singing dog and a bird that runs a obsticle course. Then every hour you could cut to a scene of Dane and Colleen at a bank of telephones and a counter of some sort. "Hi and welcome back to the iPhone-a-thon, lets go to Dane in the tally room... how we going Dane?" - Johnny

That is great!! - Spirit 2.0

I require yellow lasers... - xero

cool - Fred Grott

You need to have Dane put up a schedule. - TJ Harron

I'll be there. Calling in. At 7:15 AM. With sleep rings around my eyes. :) - Eric Geller

awesome... i love the woz! - Chris Heath

Thats great Leo, just try not to gush on him this time ;) - Chris Kuhner

Very cool. After reading his Founders @ Work interview, I am even more interested in his take on the 'simplicity' of it. - Jon Cline from twhirl

When Woz is on TWIT Live it's definately a highlight event! The guy has a ton of personality. - Harry Myhre

Is he gonna have Kathy Griffin with him? : )~ - Hillary

so.. this is where you're hiding. - Dan Hendricks

why don't you just use summize? i don't even use the replies tab anymore. - Veronica

Spent the weekend getting used to FriendFeed - thanks for the tip Leo - it rocks! Figured it all out just by clicking around. Friendfeed me of "Shozu" the way they tie into all the other online services. Really amazing. - Harry Myhre

Friendfeed makes it much easier to see EVERYTHING not just status updates - Grant from twhirl

You're right, Beronica, shoulda thought of Summize. But I still have too many @s to reply to. Even 10 replies would choke Twttr. - Leo Laporte

so re: your switch to friendfeed, how will you manage your status updates when you are mobile? by logging in to the friendfeed site on your mobile browser? - isky

@isky doesn't have to. just twitter the mobile update, it'll show up on ff and ppl can comment there. - xero

its gonna go back down again just you wait - sadiq kassamali

time to ditch all replying at Twitter and do it at FF - Michael McGimpsey

I only had one new response there to greet me when I clicked Replies! - Joe Dawson

Someone should be keeping a track on the amount of backlash twitter is getting because of its lack of scalability - Jassim

What feature did they turn off in order to ger "Replies" working again? - Michael VanDervort from Alert Thingy

only hundreds? Am surprised-- seeing how long replies were down. I'd have thought @leolaporte would have even more. This is actually v. interesting information for me - john conroy

It was more replies than the paginator would let me read, so I don't really know how many. According to Summize 281 @replies in the past 48 hours. - Leo Laporte

I am liking this FriendFeed concept. Should have looked at it earlier. It's like gossip central. - Andrew L

it'll be really interesting to see when/if ff goes down when they start getting serious traffic. i wonder what their numbers are in relation to twitter - h1ro

Let's keep FF civil. - Oldengrey (Jay)

Jay: it's a lot easier to tear down than to build up. Plus, by fighting with people you aggregate attention (everyone in High School pays attention to a fight, but rarely pays attention to the smart kid building a science project). - Robert Scoble

cool rule and analogy... Is that an analogy? I agree with you. No different than phishing for followers is attacking people for the sake of attention and then hoping attention = followers. If everyone was nice... THen everyone else would be nice!! HUH? - Cody Heitschmidt

The only problem with this argument is you can't exactly mimic your real life behavior with your virtual ones. - Muthu Ramadoss

bravos, robert. there is never an excuse for bad manners - Dave Martin

Muthu - Not true in this case you sure as hell can defend and protect those your care about in anysituation - Cody Heitschmidt

Attacks are a cheap way of scoring points and often say more about the attacker then the victim. Like Jay says, it brings attention, but if done simply for that purpose, it can be a difficult ledge to step back from. - Ross Maguire

Depends on the context, I guess. Reasonable people can disagree and have opposing points of view, but repeated ad hominem attacks are simply unacceptable, no? - Andrew Feinberg

I think everyone needs to go outside and breathe some actual air. Maybe see that thing called sunshine all the cool kids are talking about. - Cyndy

Andrew: a disagreement is one thing. I'm talking about something else. Agree. Cyndy: I live in Half Moon Bay. It's overcast right now. And, anyway, I saw enough of the sun this week in Washington DC to last me a month! :-) - Robert Scoble

I think part of the problem is the term "friend". Just because you subscribe to someone's feed doesn't mean you have to like or even respect that person. - Mike Doeff

Mike: I'm talking about real life friends in this post. You know, those kinds of people you've had dinner with and done stuff with and who've been over your house, and all that? But, yes, I'd apply this same test to the people I'm following here on FriendFeed. If I saw someone attacking one of my online friends over and over I'd block them too. It's behavior I don't need in my life. - Robert Scoble

I agree. Who needs the negativity? There's enough of that in the world. Having a respectful difference of opinion is one thing; but a situation where one person constantly attacks other people is not helpful for anyone. It's pointless in person or online. - Cathryn Hrudicka

Civility is important in all arenas, but we must remember that there is a difference between online interactions and real life. Humor, etiquette, and context are all things that are radically different online, and as such, do not have the gravity of face-to-face rudeness or niceness. Besides, Twitter and FF are tools, as are many of the people I follow on them ;) See? That joke might not fly IRL. Oh wait... It didn't here either. - Juan Aguilar

Yes, but you can still hear about attackers from others, blocking only works half well. - Jeremiah Owyang

So right. Even if you are having a disagreement, there's basic respect. Either you are building the relationship or you are destroying it. Be honest about that choice, and ask yourself if that's really the kind of person you want to be. If you make the choice to be a jerk, don't go labeling yourself a hero. - Ro (Lilyhill)

Jeremiah: that would work just like it does in my living room. My friends often tell me about people who hate me, attack me, or lie about me to Valleywag. That doesn't mean that I need to let those people into my living room (or get unblocked here on FriendFeed). - Robert Scoble

The lack of truly personal interaction has brought about a lack of civility and too many pointless arguments. - David Z

a very sound sentiment - Andrea Baker

@David Z: Very astute observation IMO. Amazing how many 'fierce and fiery' folks via email or IM suddenly become very cordial when you get them on the phone, much less have a face to face. - AJ Kohn

I used to think like this when I had a BBS in 1990s. The BBS actually was in my living room so I had no worries about telling people the rules. I learnt then that some people who are reasonable in the "real world" are nutjobs online.. - Stuart Woodward

Fair enough, though for me, FriendFeed is *not* my living room. - Brent Newhall

I agree - there is no reason why people should treat people online differently than they would IRL. Although on the internet it is difficult to behave the same way .. as you may meet people online you would have never met IRL, talk to people would have been too self conscience to talk to, etc. so it gives weak people a place to get all that real life anger out on people they will never meet. which is pretty messed up, but as a former shy girl .. i went through that when I 1st went online a million yrs ago. - Jenz

It depends on your definition of attack. If by attack you mean disagree, even passionately, then I disagree. - Michael Tefft

I tested Wordle and I put in my CV! Check it out: http://wordle.net/gallery... - Michael Forian

but it's too small to see it and won't enlarge :( - Lucretia Pruitt

:-) - Mitchell Tsai

Hey I see my name right below Twhirl...cool! ha, ha!! - Susan Beebe
