Apple's Mistake - http://paulgraham.com/apple...
"So programmers continue to develop iPhone apps, even though Apple continues to maltreat them. They're like someone stuck in an abusive relationship. They're so attracted to the iPhone that they can't leave."

- John (a.k.a. dendroica)

- joey
Yeah, pretty out of the blue. Taking the contract would put me about $400 a month ahead of unemployment (both before taxes) and in theory I could work elsewhere while doing it. It's the finding work that's the question: unemployment is high around here.

Not really, Justin. I took a bit of a benefits cut by staying with the company once Boss bought it from the previous owner: I liked the working environment enough that it was worth it. Luckily my health insurance is through Dave's job (but unluckily he works in the newspaper industry).

I'll be honest, I'm not all that interested in a lateral move or staying in this industry if I have the option, but the question then becomes where to go if I don't stay where I am. I'd love to get back into training again but I don't know that I can after being out of it for 3 years...

Getting laid off is the new black! Not really, but someone said that when it happened to me and it's kind of true. All the coffee shops during the day are filled with us. Come make friends...and learn about all the unemployment tricks. If it helps, everyone I've met in the past 5 months has found new opportunities and are happy.

- Scott Magdalein
My current job is (was?) a mismash created as the result of me filling in where it was needed over the years.

If I leave here I don't intend to stay in the same technologies (or even in tech at all), but other than that I have no clue.

I'm ambivalent about what I do but enjoy who I do it for. Perhaps to be more specific: I don't like what I do enough to be willing to do it for another company (and honestly, I don't have the credentials necessary for another company to hire me to do what I do now).

here's a secret: you don't have to be *GREAT* to make money. "good enough" is oftentimes good enough to make a living. not saying you should stick with tech if that's not where your heart is. but don't let "i'm not great" keep you from doing something.
- tiffany
I agree, I'm terrible at everything. Oh, but I don't make any money. I guess that is not helpful. Good luck.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Tiffany, it's not even a matter of being good enough: I'd have to go get several certifications to get hired doing what I do now with another company just to meet the minimum qualifications. I don't enjoy it enough to do that.

I am so sorry to hear this news, Tina. I wish you the best in deciding what to do and then pursuing it.

I appreciate it Mike, but I'm going hold off for just a little bit. I'm not really certain what I want to do or even if 'want' can come into the picture in this economy. I'm more than willing to telecommute if need be, but moving isn't an option.

Tina: I noticed you said you don't have the credentials to perform your current job for another company ... are you sure about that? Nearly all employers value experience doing something over raw qualifications. You might want to test the waters first before making that assumption
- LANjackal
from IM
:O
- Josh Haley
Oh ouch… I'm sorry. :-(
- James (!?)
Because my current job duties were so varied and scattered about, LANjackal, I never became proficient enough at any one thing to warrant a position in another company without credentials. And to tell the truth, I'm ok with that; the biggest reason I enjoyed my job was because of where I worked, not because of what I was doing. I don't enjoy Notes/Domino/Oracle enough to want to do them at another company. I've got 10 long days to mull everything over in Vegas, so hopefully I'll come up with something =)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Oh, and James: LOVE your display name =D

Aww, thanks, Tina. And again, I'm sorry. Here's hoping that something better's on the way for you.

Bummer. Good luck. Do you have any other companies/people in mind that you'd like to work with? If you connect with me on LinkedIn, you can look through my LinkedIn contacts to see if there's anyone where you might like to work... (or I can e-mail you some PDFs). I can also look through my 2nd & 3rd level contacts to see if anyone's interesting.

Roberto, there are currently only 2 people at my company: Boss and myself.

LOL! Stephen, I'd have to be able to skate well for that to be an option. I'm good at hitting and controlled falling, but skating isn't my strong point just yet.

Well, then that takes roller derby out of the question, no one gets paid in flat track derby. Actually, we all pay dues to be on the team...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
And the roller derby t-shirt sale profits go to?
- Stephen Mack
They go into the team fund, which pays for renting out the place we have our bouts. It's a new team, no cash right now. Our league is setup as a non-profit, though, so once they have enough capital to cover expenses then profits from our bouts and merch sales will be donated to a local charity (we're actually in the process of picking one). EDIT - I just realized, that might mean that my monthly dues are tax deductible. Dunno...

Don't give up, Tina. The trick is to turn the set-back into an opportunity. I know for a fact that if I hadn't been laid off at a point in time, I would be still stuck in a crappy cable-tv company instead of where I am now.

James, that is very tempting, I'll have to add it to my list of inexpensive places to live =) Actually, if I were willing to move I'm actually now capable of moving to Argentina: even this li'l bit of contract cash would be enough to set Dave and me up comfortably in Cordoba. Hrm....

Tina - Would you be interested in applying for this Continental Airlines position? http://ff.im/6S4bZ Continental is my favorite airline & has been making good efforts to relate to their customers.

I just read this post - you say "My current job is (was?) a mismash created as the result of me filling in where it was needed over the years." - I'm in the same kind of position and also in layoff jeopardy. No one appreciates the glue until it's gone. I'm sorry.

The Friendfeedization Of Facebook - http://www.techcrunch.com/2008...
Nicholas James, Iván Abrego, Daniel Rowley and 63 other people liked this
"As Facebook continues to roll out the full version of its new user profiles, it’s becoming clear that their primary goal isn’t, as they said in May, to simply create a cleaner user experience and allow developers to have more meaningful engagement points with users. It’s more about highlighting new content relevant to the user and fostering conversations about that content. And the result is that the Facebook home page looks an awful lot like the exponentially smaller activity stream aggregation service called Friendfeed."
- Louis Gray
from Bookmarklet
there is ONE thing Facebook cannot replicate from Friendfeed. Speed of execution. FriendFeed will always be better and will always be one step ahead
- Ouriel Ohayon
facebook who?
- Fred Grott
That would be the site with 60m monthly visitors Fred.
- Jamie
Coming from the other side, I’d like to see the Facebookization of Friendfeed (without sucking that is). FF is a great place for content and discussion, but not so much for community and social networking.
- Hao Chen
Facebook's largely self-contained, immersive "social" and "fun" walled garden works especially well for interpersonal relations, and the upcoming facelift improves on those same principles. I'm impressed. That said, it's too heavyweight for active group conversations. FF has far and away the most effective implementation of group discussions, especially around "the rest of the web". It's great to have both FB and FF, each optimized around their use cases.
- Amir Gharaat
The only thing I'm sure of is that Facebook will be unable to recommend the same 9 persons to add as friends to everyone - so hopefully we will still be able to choose exactly who we want to talk to.
- Svetlana Gladkova
Friendfeed = open; facebook = closed; this would be an area i'd be happy to see facebook copy

- João Almeida
from twhirl
@Joao lost its mojo with who? The twittersphere? Facebook was doing just fine before and after they jumped on and off the bandwagon. According to FB, UUs and engagement are up every month.
- Jamie
Almeida: yeah, Facebook is growing as fast as ever and tons of "normal people" swear by it. Just because us early-adopter-inside-the-techie-bubble are over here playing on FriendFeed, don't assume that everyone else is. 110 million are on Facebook, maybe more by now. When I went to Israel all I heard was "Facebook, Facebook, Facebook." Same with my niece and lots of others here in Silicon Valley. Also, its event calendar brings tons more people than others.

but do you think the average FB user is going to use the "comment on news feed" feature? a quick scan of some of my heavy-user FB friends last week showed no comments on any news feed items, and then a couple days ago i noticed someone's status message was "I hate all these comment tags on facebook now"...
- Trent Olson
LOL @ Friendfeedization

I love FF but all my non geeks friends and family are on Facebook. Seems that it works better for them.

Keep in mind, that 18 months ago you could not have had this conversation with anyone who was not 1) in the SV echo chamber or 2) in college. Web services start small and some inflect to a larger community and some don't.

My friends on FB go to Flickr for conversation. None of them are on FF. I add FF contacts in FB to view their bios.
- Russellreno
Louis - Agreed but I think the reason is more that they're trying to do an even better job with targeted ads (to keep the price in check) ... ala GMail. I find my Facebook list growing from my activity on Friendfeed. Hmm
- Charlie Anzman
Was the FriendFeed mini-feed on Facebook axed: no summary, just a note showing something was added? It's doing that for Feedheads too. Is this happening with others folks?
- Blake N. Cooper
Jim: Thanks! Does that mean that my friends would need to change this on their end to see more than 1 line? I have a lot of my friends who will stick to the default (i.e. will be overwhelmed by process for changing) and most likely will not see the content of my Google Reader Shared Items and FriendFeed activity. Sucks if that's the case. Thanks again.
- Blake N. Cooper
Jim: This is great, thanks!
- Blake N. Cooper
Jim: Is that option retaining the setting - I have it set to one line, short and full, but the new items still seem to default to one line.

- Susan Beebe
Susan: there are so many distribution channels for anonymous jerks that I don't feel that I need to put up with that here.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: So true! and I bet they exist in ALL channels available to them...nice. Being able to be selective via a BLOCK feature is therefore essential for folks who are in the limelight like you are!
- Susan Beebe
More important than a real name is consistent identity... if you're "beezlecruft" on every service and your blog, then you're a recognizable persona. This is a good thing. On the downside, you make people around you feel like an idiot by writing things like: "Here's the thing, beezlecruft..."
- Roger Benningfield
There's probably an interesting post in here somewhere on why it's necessary to announce who you're blocking. I do the same thing sometimes and always catch flack for it. Unfortunately, I've been up too many hours to properly defend myself intelligently as to why I do it, so we'll see if I'm interested in this topic tomorrow enough to post on it.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
@Roger: For years, I posted anonymously on the 'Net as simply "rizzn." Up until about 2 or 3 years ago, I was the only Rizzn in Google. When I wanted to go a bit more mainstream, I wound up merging the nick with my real name, partly so that there wasn't an identity split, partly for the SEO value, and partly so that folks wouldn't have to feel silly and call me Rizzn.

isn't the issue one of transparency, if the handle says "troll" & their actions are trollish, they're a troll, block makes sense
- mike "glemak" dunn
er... isn't the whole point of all these SM tools the ability to create your own conversation and experience? To be honest, I blocked "the troll" a few days ago. His comments to me and others were making me uncomfortable. Done, and done. It's not personal, it;'s just the way I choose to shape my social media experience.

- Gerard van Schip
as I've used my handle for years, I've kept at it; and as I may post things which might be negative about my current employer, I want to make it harder for the HR(non tech savvy) types to find it......add-on to that, my names are not common, google and find me alone + a bunch of dead people with my names
- clarke thomas
I only use a handle because I have quite a common name. I'm not tryin' to hide behind anything!

I had to block igorthetroll too! He was calling me bad names and commenting on everything I said with weird, nasty comments. What a boring life to be "that guy."
- Alana Taylor
A good handle when backed by a real person with a consistent personality should be nothing to be ashamed of. Handles are easier to remember. It's part of the personal brand.
- Chinkerfly
from twhirl
Chinkerfly, it's not about being easier or just as good. It's a principled matter. If you don't want to back what you say and what you do with your identity, you aren't playing the same game as a lot of us are. Speaking for myself and others like me, we're interested in using social media as a supplement to our real-world business, personal, and social relationships, not as a replacement or an alternative.

You're straw-manning the issue, David. It's not just about the name: it's about a verifiable identity. If you can't be tied to an identity offline, you might as well use a nickname as it has the same effect on how people perceive you.

- Brent - Loving Life
a double shot espresso, isnt that just 2 cappuccinos? capp=1partEspresso+1partMilk. latte=1partEspresso+2partsmilk. so........ 2E+2Mlk=2Capps
- echostreamer
also i believe lattes are an American adoption of cappuccinos. am i correct? it does sound good though(double shot latte)
- echostreamer
Latte is the coffee drinkers equivalent of training wheels
- Mo Kargas
do people stick with lattes? I think they either graduate to cappuccinos and espresso or give up. (no offense lattes)
- echostreamer
I started with cappuccinos then moved to lattes. Less foam, smoother taste.
- Mellissa
Echo Steamer - generally, cappuccino = 1 part espresso, 1 part milk, 1 part froth. Latte = 1 part espresso, 2 parts milk, teeny bit of foam to top.
- Mellissa
I like steamed milk, don't like foam. Then again, few baristas in America make foam correctly. I do like a nice cap when in Italy.
- Jason Wehmhoener
I prefer Lattes because they're generally not as strong as a cappucino, I prefer sweet coffee. Caramel and Hazlenut Lattes are awesome.
- Bryce Roney
Why on earth would you want to override the natural taste of coffee with copious amounts of cream, milk and added flavours? Just have a milkshake
- Mo Kargas
So, that is what my local cafes call a cortado. 2 shots of espresso and 1 shot of steamed milk (or soy).
- anna sauce

- Hao Chen
Mo- because the roasting, grind, and/or preparation are so bad you have to override the bitterness. I had some high quality beans form south america and they were so sweet, you didn't need any sweetener. (BTW if you want to know what i'm talking about, checkout coffee made from Clover machines http://www.starbucks.com/clover...)
- anna sauce
followed by a double late shite?

thats seems right. flavors and excessive milk (lattes) are for either poor quality coffee when you just need the buzz, or for people who want in on the coffee culture but just dont like coffee. lattes are the boxed wine of the coffee world

You are probably going to have to install a Bluetooth Kit. The auxilliary will allow you to hear the person, unfortuantely, you will still be using your iPhone's mic to talk. So, they might not hear you too clearly. As for the tape deck adapter, that might work.

- Susan Beebe
yes. stitching together memes using people is desirable, especially considering how fast the Friendfeed River of Noise runs. This is a classic cataloging technique. It's the "See also" or "Related topics" technique.

- martin english
from twhirl
Yes- b/c with new articles coming up I see a few diff. FF posts about it- having clustering sounds great, and like Trent's idea of "more..."
- anna sauce
I'd like to have the choice of joining the connected conversation or starting a new conversation. The private room idea is interesting, but it might be too much effort (and too much room invite spam) for most people to start a new room, invite a specific list of friends, and have them join and participate..
- Hao Chen
Certainly Not. I've watched Robert's video and I couldn't agree less with him. It would be terrible if lots of conversations were carried on behind closed doors - which is what he's advocating. It would completely defeat the purpose of having an open system where people can actually move through the social network and discover each other. Likewise it would be terrible if all of the conversations about the same content were aggregated together automatically just like reddit.
- Robin Barooah
Has anyone stopped to wonder why it is we love FriendFeed so much? I think the quality of the conversation has a lot to do with the fact that it is seeded in small groups and then grows across the social network. Duplicates may be annoying some of us, but are they such a problem that we should risk destroying the community to get rid of them?
- Robin Barooah
Robin: private conversations happen all the time. Look at Calacanis' email list or Facebook or, well, the Fortune conference I am now at. I wish there were more choices in who I have conversations with.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert - agreed - and personally I don't have any problem with people like you 'manually' connecting conversations. My point is that FriendFeed is currently different - it's semi-permeable, and perhaps we love it because of that. Imagine you automatically aggregated conversations based on content and FriendFeed had 100M users - I don't want to be in a conversation with the 1% of those people who happened to post about a particular news item.
- Robin Barooah
What about this: You see the item you or one of your friends shared with its respective comments and a link (something like "more discussions") so you can see more conversations about the same item. If many of your friends shared it, you see the one with more comments first.
- Alejandro
Robert, so you have what, *thousands* of people you can have conversations with and it's not enough? Really? You could always go raise some venture capital and attempt to build a service that would allow you to have even more conversations. I don't think that should be FriendFeed's or any other company's goal though. That's not a slam on you, I just don't think these services should worry about designing to solve for your very extreme case.
- Robert Seidman
Robert: I follow 3000. That is enough. The problem we are discussing isn't that I don't have enough. Why are you changing the discussion. Actually THAT is what we are discussing! How to keep random people from changing the conversation! Heh!
- Robert Scoble
Scoble, you may have ADD. About 5 comments up (as I write this) you wrote (in THIS thread): I wish there were more choices in who I have conversations with. - Robert Scoble Or, I merely misunderstood what you meant.
- Robert Seidman
I don't see a need to connect the conversations any more than I believe there should be only one place to have a comment thread on a blog post. If Robert and others believe that commenting on FriendFeed is okay, then commenting in multiple places in FriendFeed is okay as well.
- Louis Gray
I don't see a problem with people trying to link the conversations together, but I also don't lose sleep over the fragmentation. This is another case where I would rather see conversations connected by some third party tool. I don't think it should be a FF thing. I am also pretty positive such tools already exist.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Scoble: I did watch your video Susan linked to, but I come down being with Louis and remain steadfast in the hope that FriendFeed doesn't design the service to your tastes. Here's why: you follow three thousand people. If FriendFeed scales to 10 million users you can pretty much count on 99% of them following less than 100 people. I have no doubt FriendFeed has these stats and can check it with the current base. You're such an extreme use case that you're a bad person to design this service.
- Robert Seidman
I want a feature in FF that allows me to SEE all the conversations in flight around a particular post so that I can join 1 or multiple convos and comment accordingly. Currently I can NOT see the entire picture. I can't even imagine how huge the conversations would be if we had EVERYONE in the same conversation. this goes back to my request to have the ability to FLAG a convo to a particular category of interest.
- Susan Beebe
Robert: I'm not designing this service, first of all. Second of all, I've shown it to a LOT of people and the #1 thing they tell me why they don't come back? "It's too noisy." So, there's something wrong with the design that's keeping it from going really big, so I seriously doubt we'll get to 10 million users anytime soon.
- Robert Scoble
Susan: you should learn to use the search. Go to the "Everyone" tab. Then search on something. You'll see all conversations, including from people you've previously blocked or hidden. In fact, this would be a killer feature: to be able to search the main topic of a comment cluster right from a link at the bottom of the cluster. Sort of like Techmeme lets you turn on search if you want (it's in the preferences on there).
- Robert Scoble
Susan I understand the flag/pin, but here's the critical piece I am missing as far as ability to see the entire picture -- why? Why does anyone want this? I for example am very interested in how Apple is handling Steve Job's health, but if you provided me with a tool that allowed me to read every post and every comment on this topic, there wouldn't be enough time to get through it. It could be done, but I don't see what the true benefit is beyond some illusion of control. What am I missing?
- Robert Seidman
The tools are already here to make Friendfeed pretty much anything you want. While the comment fragmenting can be mind-boggling, it also has 'some' advantages, like good or very popular pieces hitting the front page multiple times. I have invested a lot of time here and have a lot of faith in the FF team to do what works ... over time ... at the right time. Hopefully I won't be wrong. I hope I'm not in the minority I visit and clean up my own feed about once a day (IE: Items without comments ... gone).
- Charlie Anzman
@Scobelizer - people I've shown FF to have made similar 'it's too noisy' complaints. But when I've asked them what they mean it's always the FOAF stuff that they dislike - specifically the 'celebrities' who they don't have any connection with. I personally like some of what the a-list have to say, and enjoy the stream of content that I don't have time to look for, but some of my friends have switched off FOAF because of me commenting on posts by you, Arrington, etc.
- Robin Barooah
@Scobelizer - could it be that people think it's too noisy when you show it to them because your personal view is much more noisy than almost anyone elses? In fact I unsubscribed to you myself, although am subscribed to some people who are subscribed to you who act as a filter for me.
- Robin Barooah
Robin, exactly: imagine the service as intended, and not as some SNS pyramid scheme to drive traffic to your blog or Scoble/Louis Gray "super users". You follow less than 50 people, your real friends, family, co-workers. You see their pictures, their blog posts, what they find interesting to share, what music they're liking etc all in one convenient place. Too quiet for Scoble, but not too noisy for most.
- Robert Seidman
Robin: yes, that's possible, but usually the noise they mean is the duplications that they see, and also that conversations keep coming up in their face. They are used to Twitter or Facebook, which just is a straight stream. Then I teach them about hide and they usually calm down. The subscribing to noisy people is a problem, but think about a newbie: who should they follow? No one? Then FF is lame. Scoble? Great for techie geeks who like that kind of flow.
- Robert Scoble
Even if you follow a few non-noisy people you still see lots of duplication and noise. It's a real problem. Most people don't like systems like these. They don't also like participating in conversations, especially when they don't know who is participating.
- Robert Scoble
@Scobelizer - I don't disagree with those statements. I just think the solution isn't obvious and may end up being quite subtle. Also - as to newbies - perhaps it's not going to spread though people typing www.friendfeed.com into their browsers and not knowing who to follow but though word of mouth giving them some obvious personal starting points.
- Robin Barooah
Robert Scoble: Good call - I do need to learn to use the FF search better to find conversations / topics (I rarely use this feature and should do so more often - thanks!). I've only blocked 2 people and hidden FOAF on some heavy feeds (too much noise); I like REALLY like your idea of Search with main topic (parent) displayed with related topics (children) with Links to each. The Techmeme example you gave was great too - that would be cool!
- Susan Beebe
Robert Seidman: the reason I want a "Flag conversation" feature in FF is so that I can view / monitor conversations and IDEAS as they emerge. I may not participate in all those conversations, but I will scan them for sure - and I will LEARN and grow from my exposure to the marvelous ideas and concepts presented in those rich and diverse threads. I've learned much even from this one...

- Robert Seidman

I'm going through a nasty divorce as well, and my ex has threatened to sue me for blogging about it. He hasn't though, because the fact is if it's true, it's not libel and therefor not illegal. Then again he IS suing me for giving him herpes despite testing negative twice, so maybe that's just the next step.

The woman is an exhibitionist. It's the same mental disorder as the guys who stand on the corner and flash. I think reading her posts is no different than staring at somebody who has obvious mental or physical problems. I don't think it should be used as entertainment.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not. It's not about libel or slander. If you blog about your ex and you're involved in a divorce or custody case, it can show your state of mind and your attitude towards your ex and concern can be raised to the judge that this attitude might be seen by your children. If you blog about how upset you are or about your negative feelings towards your...

"Sources close to MiNa claim the US Army has moved their alert level to Defcon 2. This was initiated by the alarming situation in North Korea. The US Army has over 35,000 troops stationed in South Korea, well within reach of North Korean convential weapons. North Korea has the largest artillery force (can be equipped with nuclear warheads) in the world, which adds more to the already tense situation."

Are you sure it's not surveillance level 2 and DEFCON 4?
- Hao Chen
DEFCON 2 This refers to a further increase in force readiness just below maximum readiness. The most notable time it was declared was during the Cuban Missile Crisis, although the declaration was limited to Strategic Air Command. It is not certain how many times this level of readiness has been reached.

if I were an enemy of the state, I would monitor the defcon level and just attack when it was on 5. Why is this public anyway? :p

- Richard pancakhaus Walker
@Richard - As of early (VERY early) this morning, the new Undo button's there (lower-left) if you have an attack of spasming claw-hand and pick Critters 3 over Ferris Bueller. That only lets you go back one ranking, though. After that, two options: 1) use the Top 20 filter to get it out of the top spot faster, and from there it should bubble down; 2) click on that movie in your list and then hit Rank This Movie to speed through some rankings.
- Jeremy Thompson
@Richard - Rank This Movie should be your primary option in that case, but it's got a bug right now where other movies get put above it when it loses rankings, when really I think the movie being ranked should be the only one that moves around. I'll post when that's fixed.
- Jeremy Thompson
I did notice that Jeremy - slightly after I declared SMOKIN ACES IZ MY FAV MOVIE EVAR!!!! ... your suggestion would help ALOT, as I did notice that exact behavior. I'd have to re-rank almost everything to force it down to the bottom, where your solution in a few tries will take it down where it belongs OMG THAT MOVIE SMOKIN ACES IS SOOOO LAME LOL
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Very cool. I can't wait to try it.
- joey
Richard, you are not the only one. I talked with Nathan about this after "Hook" became my #7 movie of all time. FAIL. :)
- Louis Gray
Oh noes Louis! I think that's worse than SMOKIN ACES! lol

I think it would provide a more accurate ranking if you could start with your own list of maybe a top 10-20 and then compare the random movies with those.
