Great list. I think out of the ton of sites I listed in the original post these are my favourites and I subscribe to all but 1 (the 1 being rectified right now) ;-)). Quick note, it's DIY Photography not DYI. ;-)

FriendFeed needs a way to collapse these multiple references to the same article into just one post on here... Call it the "Louis Gray Rule"

Federation is simply the beginning of the solution for a micro-blogging service. You'll also need a dynamic load-balancing system that is capable of spreading the load of requests for content acroll multiple servers. For example, a popular microblogger (eg. Scoble) might be replicated across all servers, while a mid-level microblogger may only be distributed across a few. The average microblogger may only be on two or three servers depending on the redundancy requirements.

Federation is simply the beginning of the end of micro-blogging. No thanx. Kthxbai.
- Jason Carreira
Jason - Could you elaborate on your thoughts?
- Jim McCusker
Jason, for some reason I did not connect you with babelnote. Besides scalability and reliability, what will make babelnote different than other microblogging services?

this reminds me of "get you people to talk to my people and we'll work it out" :)-
- Peter Dawson
@Rob, Well, I can't talk about all of it. Let's just say that there are some features Twitter has disabled, some features that have been partially implemented by 3rd party apps outside Twitter, and one truly game-changing feature. I also have a very solid, very profitable revenue / business model that scales up with the number of users. Out of the gate all you may see is a scalable, reliable Twitter, but that's not where the vision ends.

@Jason, now the obvious question I forgot, when? Can we get this two months ago :)
- Rob Diana
Here! Here! to Calicanis' call for item consolidation! Fewer instances of discussion fragmentation would really make FF more attractive to me for day-to-day use.
- Daniel Smith
psst... Daniel... it's Carreira, not Calacanis.
- Cyndy
@Rob, well, as they say, it depends... Know anyone keen on being an angel investor?
- Jason Carreira
@Daniel, you can tell I'm not Calcanis because I mentioned revenue and profit ;)
- Jason Carreira
@Jason, I wish. I could use some funding myself.
- Rob Diana
Jason & Rob: You guys are east-coast & I'm not well-connected with the east coast Angel networks. :-( E-mail me at tsai [TA] cs.ucla.edu and perhaps I can help with "find-an-angel advice". Unfortunately, I haven't loaded any of that info onto my Del.icio.us or FriendFeed accounts. Maybe I can help you guys connect up. It's often not just about "money" for the investor, it's about 95+% ideas failing, and how to connect ...past... that mindset, and speak the language of the investors.
- Mitchell Tsai
@Cyndy: Thanks for letting me know in a whisper. Now I can go back and edit it before anyone finds out the silly mistake I made! Oh wait... ;) @Jason CARREIRA: Guess that should have been a dead giveaway. Sigh.
- Daniel Smith
@Jason - Just checked out your site and, after the initial surprise of not being on Mahalo (har), read your post. I think your project is interesting and one to keep an eye on for sure. Oh but just FYI, babelfish.com without the www redirects to a domain parking page, might want to fix that! Cheers.

Maybe it's just me but I have trouble finding photography blogs that stick for me, with very few exceptions. I get bored with photo blogs (i.e. mostly photos, little commentary), photo technique blogs, photo equipment blogs, photography-as-art blogs, and I just don't care about photo industry blogs, etc. And for the record, yes, I know my own blog falls into one of those categories. :) The best ones for me, like Thomas Hawk's blog, cover photography from many diverse angles.

I love looking a good photo blogs and flickr. I wish I had a good DSLR I use to dabble in film photog. I was in right when the digital was taking over. I found that a good camera and some quick reading and you will take good pics. To take great pics you have to have the eye.

http://www.twipphoto.com. Scott Bourne, Alex Lindsay, et. al. The associated podcast is probably the main resource for me, but the blog also has good content.
- Bill Crow
@Justin Korn (justinkorn): I've just been through my flickr contacts this week to add them as imaginary friends so why doing this I added them here, I also posted my fav list on my blog, so has killed several birds with one stone. ;-) Warning: I'll keep posting, on and on and on... ;-)
