"Friendfeed does have to think about it compared to Twitter at the time they removed Track, more than a year ago. Even then Twitter had more traffic, but it wasn't nearly as dramatic a difference as in the more recent part of that graph." - Bruce Lewis

"What's interesting is that new posts are added to the search index in real time. Twitter used to have this (Track) but couldn't scale it; they're testing it and may reintroduce it. For FriendFeed to have put this out I think they must be confident it can scale." - Bruce Lewis

"Robert, where's Posterous in your list? Posterous is going after twitpic with a vengeance. They're in all the major Twitter clients now. OurDoings isn't really shooting for twitter, much more for FriendFeed: http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin..." - Bruce Lewis

"I've got a really cool API example, but can't talk about it yet. Give me a few hours." - Bruce Lewis

"OurDoings won't go out of business because it hasn't gone into business yet. I developed it and continue to build it as a side project. Also, the comments live on FriendFeed and Disqus, just like on this blog." - Bruce Lewis

Great food for thought, Bruce... Thanks! - Steve Carter

"Read their articles to get to know what they like to write about. Then look at different things that could be said about Windy Citizen and find a story that they would like to write. Then talk to them." - Bruce Lewis

Yes, all of you. - Bruce Lewis

That was me the other day, serious. :p - Josh Haley

Yeah, I thought for sure you were going to see me, but you never looked toward the camera. ;-) - Bruce Lewis

that's my hood... enjoy! - Benton

I did enjoy it, more than I thought I would even! - Bruce Lewis

Very helpful. Don't mean to be rude but I never understood the logos on the top to be a camera and the back of a camera, that tip alone is so enlightening! - Jorge "JungleG" Escobar

It's not rude at all. I have more tips like that one. More posts later. Getting ready to take the family to NYC. - Bruce Lewis

A lot of web enthusiasts will be in the area for http://www.webinnovatorsgroup.com/ We can eat at Cambridgeside, then move the meetup across the street at 6:30. RSVP for the meetup by commenting here, and for webinno at that link. - Bruce Lewis

Excellent! Bring friends. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo

"I think there are a lot of reasonably smart cocky/arrogant people. I think there are hardly any extremely smart ones. But there are plenty of ones that people think are extremely smart, due to the phenomenon this article describes. Arrogance hinders people from getting smarter." - Bruce Lewis

"Love the subtle self-referential joke at the end." - Bruce Lewis

One of the economic professors at school was saying that today the individual has as much access to the best talent world wide as a company does, Guy basically said the same thing. Anyone not believe that this is the best thing to happen lately? - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

"A general explanation of SUP is at http://blog.friendfeed.com/2008...... A general explanation of XMPP: http://xmpp.org/tech..." - Bruce Lewis

"Right. I pass it through as an argument to the script (see the "$@" in the last line). Initially I wanted to use the script more cautiously." - Bruce Lewis

"Thanks, that's really helpful. So what I'll need eventually is an EC2 instance that can be the remote end of the rsync. It would only need to be up for the duration of the backup, so it wouldn't have to cost a lot. What I'll likely do medium-term is do this rsync once a week, and have the daily backup simply copy new files (via tar), so it won't have to navigate the whole remote filesystem to find things to delete." - Bruce Lewis

"Does the video mention Lisp?" - Bruce Lewis
