I can't believe that people consider wikis and sharepoint to be competing products. I've suggested a wiki install at some places, and they install sharepoint instead. The "document sharing" is entirely backward, it's just a glorified shared network drive with a UI that avoids you from having to name things "Document 20090901 Final Backup 2 Andy FINAL Approved". Google docs is much more appropriate for sharing.

"Much more important than working hard is knowing how to find the right thing to work on. Paying attention to what is going on in the world. Seeing patterns. Seeing things as they are rather than how you want them to be. Being able to read what people want. Putting yourself in the right place where information is flowing freely and interesting new juxtapositions can be seen. But you can save yourself a lot of time by working on the right thing. Working hard, even, if that's what you like to do.

"knowing how to find the right thing to work on" - the actual answer to this question is very computationally expensive. Rather than "the right thing to work on", it might be more feasible to find "a right thing to work on", but even then proving that what you found is right might be still very costly. Then you would and up with "something that seems to be a right thing to work on".

"To kill some time in a diner, Teller was practicing his version of Cups and Balls, a classic sleight-of-hand trick popularized by ancient Roman conjurers. It involves a series of "vanishes" and "transpositions" as the balls appear and disappear underneath the cups. Teller hadn't brought any props, so he used wadded-up napkins and clear water glasses. Somehow, this made the trick even better. Although it was now possible to follow the crumpled napkins as Teller variously palmed them, squished them, and moved them from cup to cup, the illusion persisted. "The eye could see the moves, but the mind could not comprehend them," he says. "Giving the trick away gave nothing away, because you still couldn't grasp it." They eventually worked this version of Cups and Balls into their show, and audiences loved it. But the magic community—whose cardinal rule is "Don't tell 'em how it's done"—reacted with outrage and even threats of physical violence. Penn and Teller were exposing an ancient secret! Two arty geeks were destroying the mystery!

Would your wife still be your wife if you were waiting in line for a Palm Pre at 7:45 when the wedding started at 8? My guess is no—but this guy has himself a very special lady. On Saturday at 7 a.m., Theodore was 14th in line at an Atlanta-area Sprint store, fidgeting for his new Pre. His wedding was scheduled for 8 a.m. As much as Theodore wanted Pre, he wanted his bride, Anita, to see him at the altar at the appointed time. At 7:45, he abandoned his wait and left his line-number and credit card information with a Sprint store employee, asking that he "hold the 14th phone for me." The Sprint store employee obliged. Minutes after the recessional, the newlyweds returned to pick up their phone, spending the first minutes of married life with a Ready Now consultant who walked the happy couple through Pre's setup and features. The new Mrs. Travis later revealed that her reaction was "You did what?" to her husband spending the hour before their wedding waiting for a phone, but later...

Sounds like advanced email service, where the email message is "alive", wiki type collaboration is evolved. Email+Wiki+Twitter meshup. And the UI is really not that much googlish . Very eager to see it!
- Nenko Ivanov
from the article and slides, it looks like FF rooms with live chat functionality and extensibility. FF is almost there already. maybe the presentation video when available will explain any differences better
- Wladimir Labeikovsky
FF as it exists currently *looks* like the enterprise collaboration holy grail. Its only problem is that no one wants to buy into a closed service hosted externally. Even if Wave is nothing more than a free self-hostable Friendfeed it will still blow the doors off of E2.0.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from IM
[NINJA EDIT] And by "no one" I mean "no Fortune 100 CIOs". I'm sure you guys at FF aren't out to sell directly to the enterprise yet, but it's my area of interest and I've been daydreaming about how awesome it would be to use FF as a part of my official workflow. I think Wave is more likely to get there given your current featureset versus their current vaporset.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
good point Daniel, i had somehow missed that Wave would be a Google App and thus amenable to self-hosting, etc
- Wladimir Labeikovsky
I understand Wave team's desire to integrate and leverage existing, accepted forms of communication and collaboration. But doesn't that also limit innovation? I'd love to see someone take a "blue sky" approach to the problem of business communication and collaboration, rather than build on existing models.
- Larry Hawes
I know it may seem hard to believe by watching all the crazy stuff they show in the video, but it's actually very easy to use. Click 'new wave', start typing, add a recipient. Or you can add a recipient first. So in some sense it's actually simpler than email, because there are a lot fewer opportunities to make irrevocable mistakes (like, oops, sent too early). I can't wait to be able to use it publicly.
- Joel Webber
Nenko, I think you've done a superb job of succinctly describing Wave. Or, at least my perception of Wave after using it for a month or so :). And one thing people should keep in mind: this has been in development for a long time, so it's not like three months ago, Google thought, "ZOMG! Must respond to [insert other service name here]" :-)
- Adam Lasnik
Daniel, if "FF as it exists currently *looks* like the enterprise collaboration holy grail," how do you explain to these enterprise folks, that anyone can edit and delete their past contributions after the fact, thus soiling the conversational record? Business can not be conducted in such conditions. Clearly, before being of use FF would need to "stratify" their basic types of collaborative primitives - beginning with non-editable posts and comments.
- ianf ⌘
I didn't mean "looks like" as in "feature complete" just "resembles". Lots of the latest and greatest parts of FF are features that would make any E2.0 toolkit much more powerful. The rooms and multi-threaded DMs are particularly sweet.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I can't see this being ready for the enterprise just yet, but sme's and startups definately. If they can also produce a mobile version for the iPhone and android markets it potentially is the next killer app.
- Keith Bennett
from BuddyFeed
ianf: "Business can not be conducted in such conditions." Are you kidding me? What about the telephone conversation. Business uses that just fine. It's one tool.
- Nick in Manila
It certainly wins on ease of use, but that's not enough in a business context. Accountability, being held to account, is. Truth be told, we really don't know if FFeeders paid any attention to enterprise use when originally designing it. Perhaps it can be evolved in this direction without lots of shouting, perhaps not. @Keith - FF is extremely text-input-centric. Neither of the two mobile devices is very good at this. But, fine, it does represent a step above even the most intelligent of mail/Gmail etc.
- ianf ⌘
Nick, there's a difference between telephone and print. As soon as text records are involved, there's the problem.
- ianf ⌘
ianf: Agree. It's not an auditable text record. But we've adapted to Wikipedia. It only takes you so far. You have accept it's not an absolute and use it for what you can.
- Nick in Manila
My problem with FF in the enterprise (and I try to use it that way) is the goofy name and logo.
- Nick in Manila
Wikipedia is a special case, but I have yet to hear of it being acceptable beyond colloquial use. FF is fine if treated as multi-threaded dialogue platform. Perhaps it's just me, but I always assumed that any heavy-duty business use presumes that a company runs it off its own/colo servers, not from platform-provider's own. We really don't know much of how FF works, but I suspect that...
more...
- ianf ⌘
ianf: Yes re enterprise use. But as the enterprise becomes more and more atomized, this will become less and less of an issue. Although that's not the immediate future of Fortune 100s - which gives a huge advantage to smaller co's.
- Nick in Manila
@ianf: There *is* an auditable record. Didn't you notice the part where they show how you can always go back through the history of a wave to see its edit history? Not only is it possible, but it's easy and only takes a few seconds. It's really useful for getting context on a large wave when you come into it late.
- Joel Webber
is there an app for that yet? :-)
- Chris Cotsapas
@Adam Lasnik I'm sure that Wave is not a respond to any existing service. At Google there are smart people thinking ahead and I think that wave is a step forward in personal and corporate comunication
- Nenko Ivanov
FriendFeed might actually benefit from Google Wave, see http://nicolas.lehuen.com/index...

Actually the platform looks like a response to Live Mesh and the product looks like a FF client powered by Gears but the interesting stuff is the protocol which could be used to bring consensus on how to, finally, implement track.

Isn't that a bit premature to ask? Wave's just been announced, we don't know how FF will develop in few months' time, yet already now you want us to speculate whether some vaporware will be killerware of existingware rhetorical q.

nope it isn't. i think this is the time for asking this.

It'd be much more interesting to use have the live "feeds" be rolled up into searches, although I'm sure this is a much more difficult problem to solve. Streams from twitter, friendfeed, facebook etc should all be readily accessible through search. I think the content that people create is still probably more important than the person themselves...
- Chris Reichow
Chris, but to access *all* the content, and have less data to index, you want the people. The people own the content. It should be indexed by the people, not the content itself. A person owns content, not the other way around.
- Jesse Stay
Interesting note: "A person owns content" I'd certainly like to think this was true, but in today's world I think ownership is significantly diminished. Plus, who said anything about having less data to index, next-gen search needs to increase the available data and timeliness of that data exponentially. It's a tough problem
- Chris Reichow
Chris, with Wave you truly have the ability to own your content. Wave is a technology and protocol anyone can install on their own server, and it's open source. That which you want to stay on your own servers stays on your own servers - you have full control and Google never sees the data. Regarding next-gen search, it's much easier to index a lot more data when you have already indexed the people that own that data vs. indexing just the data.
- Jesse Stay
from email
Both announcements are important, I think, and they're too different to be considered together. Wave isn't about search. (Based on the short videos I've seen), Bing brings *context* and order to search; something that Google's search results appear to be lacking at the moment, and something that people will respond to if Bing lives up to the promise.

Here's another reason not to dismiss Bing so quickly: http://friendfeed.com/media-n...

"These research results suggest that wanting to have a particular identity is an important motivator in carrying out the activities one needs to perform to succeed. When those activities are the only marker that you and others have that you have taken on a particular identity, then your motivation to work hard will be strong. When there are other ways to communicate your identity to others, your motivation to work hard will not be as strong. So when you are just starting out on the road toward a big undertaking, it is probably best to let your actions express your intentions louder than your words."

"Recent studies have suggested that, even in times of economic downturn, people continue buying really differentiated products, products that make them feel good. Some of these are authentic "heritage" brands, those you remember from when you were a kid. They are reliable; they convey indulgence but only as the result of real quality. Some are value brands shaded by an umbrella of trust. Sometimes people will spend a lot of money for one exceptional thing that really makes their life better and they know it will last for a while.

- Antonio Altamirano
David: not sure. I'm following more than 90,000 and I think I only have about 17,000 here from Twitter. Twitter is a lot less early adopter audience at this point. I filled up my Facebook very early on so the percentage is higher there.

Believe it was about 30% [Twitter folks here] for me as well... follow just under 1,100... so that would be about 330 peeps.

Good companies make money, Great companies change the future. Twitter has everything to become one of the biggest thing since Google if only they keep their eggs in their own basket.

It's a popular show watched largely by women. Maybe Biz wants more of that demographic.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
All good companies that are for sale tout the "we are not for sale" line. It is standard strategy to signal that if you want to buy, you'd better come with a serious offer.

Just Some Naked Guys With iPhones! [Nsfw] - http://gizmodo.com/5242285...
Carlos and Iván Abrego liked this
You're an attractive guy. You workout. You like to take semi-nude to full-nude pictures of yourself. Oh, and you own an iPhone! Guys with iPhones is a site celebrating the love of a man and his iPhone in its rawest, most sensual form. Sometimes while shaving. Sometimes while posing. Sometimes while donning camouflage briefs. Always while making a "you know you want it" face coupled with an underlying insecurity of "does he/she prefer me...or the iPhone?" Now I don't look at a lot of homo-techno-sexual pornography, but when I do, it's Guys with iPhones. [Guys with iPhones via The Register] Oh, and if you're into that sort of thing, there's a Girls with iPhones site as well. The photo collection is both less populated and less evocative than Guys with iPhones because, well, women generally detect when they look stupid.

Bruce, OK: provide a game to get people into using it. Even Google got me into blogging. Why? The more I blogged the more power Google gave me. 2. Make it seem lame if you don't do things. 3.

i'd agree with those suggestions to improve twitter. however, hasn't the Neilsen Online analysis of "60% twitticide" been debunked because Neilsen only counts web visitors, not all the other ways to use twitter (SMS, IM, desktop clients, oAuth apps, etc)? i'd really like to see some customer churn and loyalty numbers from twitter to settle this. actually it would be possible to use the twitter api to construct some aggregate intel...
- Bob Hitching
Bob: Neilsen went back and looked at the numbers again and found they were correct. I totally believe the numbers they reported.
- Robert Scoble
fair enough... Neilsen must have used the Twitter API to check their numbers, i think that would be the only way anybody outside of Twitter could measure their SMS and IM usage. good on Neilsen if they did that.
- Bob Hitching
The numbers that they gave seem to coincide with my limited experience of my followers behavior.
