Re: Where does he get that wonderful identity data? (Clayton Donley's Blog) - http://blogs.oracle.com/clayton...

"Hi James, Most of the focus of IGF has been on developers, including development tools. This is actually a reason why there's less chatter about it in the more system-management oriented identity space. This technology is being very actively pushed into our middleware and development stack with the idea that those 3rd party applications that leverage this stack will gain the benefits we've been discussing. That said, because we're doing this out in the open, other vendors can and will build their own technology to do this on stacks that we wouldn't typically be writing ourselves (.NET anyone?). Not all IdM stacks or development stacks are equal and clearly we're building this kind of technology to widen our lead in this area, but in a way that doesn't lock our customers into a particular set of protocols or infrastructure.

Re: Oracle People iPhone App Metrics - http://theappslab.com/2009...
"Maybe my disappointment was a sneaky ploy to motivate people to go download the app. If so, it didn't work. :-) That said, my take on why the numbers are what they are: 1. Not everyone needs this kind of information away from their desk, plus many people generally spend most of their time with a lot of the same people. I don't have the stats to back it up, but would wager that the field has a much higher adoption rate than the product organization. 2. All that extra password entry probably detracts from some of the friendliness that might make someone more strongly recommend it. It's certainly a deterrent to more active use with some of the connect/oratweet related features. 3. The installation process isn't as simple for Enterprise apps as it is for App Store downloads. It requires a little more thought and effort to locate, download, unzip, and install via iTunes than to do a one-click install through the app store over-the-air. 4. I find that many enterprise users sync with iTunes..."

Re: On Avatars - http://theappslab.com/2009...
"This is in fact exactly why the activities feed in the iPhone app doesn't use people's images. I started that way, but found that the pictures seemed to overshadow the content. Unlike IM or even Twitter, which seems to be about the person, I really think the activity feed is about seeing the kinds of things you're interested in. Stats seem to confirm that people also aren't clicking through to the full-size pictures, either."

Re: Simple iPhone LDAP Phone Book App (Clayton Donley's Blog) - http://blogs.oracle.com/clayton...
"Would love to do more here, but our Cisco VPN doesn't yet work with the iPhone, so I've been less interested in scratching this itch. I have shared the steps to build the LDAP SDK with a few other commenters. Maybe you can team with one of them and do something with a nice OpenGL org chart browser that I can use to give my peers iPhone envy, eh? Will let everyone know if I do more with this project. Also willing to do a full blog post promoting any LDAP browser that someone else writes, assuming it will work with my directory and it looks good. :-)"

Re: Simple iPhone LDAP Phone Book App (Clayton Donley's Blog) - http://blogs.oracle.com/clayton...
"Can't release the code at this moment, though seeded it to a few actual internal developers who may yet release something useful. As for the API, you should check in with Kayvon Beykpour at Stanford. We met for coffee the other day and I helped him get the base LDAP APIs compiled. He's still working on Kerberos support, but indicated he should be able to share what we got working. Try emailing: beykpour AT stanford DOT edu"

Twit-Out: Let's talk about why we love Twitter so much. We put up with so much, yet we don't hesitate to recommend it to others. Express yourselves.

The sex. But seriously. The speed. The numbers of people you can interact with efficiently. The fact that every message has a permalink (I wish I could permalink to specific comments here).
- Robert Scoble
I love that it's an avenue to express what I'm thinking right now
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
For me it's the truly dynamic nature of the service. The spontaneity creates an ever-flowing sea of information surrounding so many topics. It's so accessible, so easy, yet so hard to explain to others :) If I had to create a value proposition for Twitter to any executive, I'd be stumped. It's just so darn cool.
- Bwana ☠
I also love getting a peek into what others are thinking
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
The speed... not always.
- Morton Fox
I like the speed, real-time interaction and conversational / debating dynamics that occur here! very cool. I like Scoble's idea of permalinking to a single comment; heck I still want a REPLY feature to a single comment too!
- Susan Beebe
I can talk to RTM and reach people via SMS. I can see what people "smarter" than me are reading/writing/thinking
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
from Alert Thingy
Sex, expression, speed, dynamics. We have the makings of a major motion picture here. Seriously, I echo Rahsheen. Who would have thought that a concept so simple could provide for the sharing of such rich information? Its a true glimpse into the human network.
- jcunwired
Exactly!! this is why I love FriendFeed and enjoy it so much!
- Susan Beebe
Just started more activel using. Got a little bored with Twitter. Miss the chatroom-like energy, but like the links to deeper (and often better) content.
- Clayton Donley
from Alert Thingy
For me, the greatest power of twitter is that people are listening. When someone tweets they expect a reply...whereas FF seems to be a bit more of a bookmarking utility (which i still enjoy a ton). In addition, there are few things more exciting than using twitter at an event and catching the stream-of-consciousness from all attendees. I've even enjoyed going back and reviewing post event.
- Tyler Hannan
I feel like I work in the office of the people who's blogs I admire... I get to stop by thier office and even catch them in the hall between meetings.

(1) The simplicity of Twitter lets you use it for whatever you want. (2) SMS is a fantastic interface for those who don;t "get" the web. I have relatives who ONLY use SMS to Tweet. (3) Twitter is a grea tplace to start a discussion and (4) Twitter has great people.

1) there's a magic to twitter and all of a sudden it occurs to me that one of the reasons we're so enamoured with it may just be its fallibility. it makes it all the more human. 2) my friends on twitter are awesome. what can i say. 3) i really like the easy way to personalize the look. the change in avatars alone is entertaining.

I started my Twit-out this morning. Being in Malaysia, Wednesday came really early. :P 14:25 now...just a few more hours to go. Strangely tho, I feel kinda ok not Twittering today.
- Paul David
Absolutely the speed. Twitter is such a part of my distributed information workflow that when it goes down I feel seriously cut off from the world. But I'm willing to wean myself from the Twitter Teat (tweater?) for a day just to see if this makes a difference.
- cecily
Its simplicity. You can communicate in seconds. Right now I'm emailing posts to a pseudo-microblog, and hopping through many more hoops than I would if I just typed something in slandr.
- Ontario Emperor
That you know - It is guaranteed: "Less gab in one entry!" =)
- Erhan Erdogan
Twitter solves the tl;dr problem.
- Morton Fox
Simplicity. The fact that your messages can be promiscuous or private. The sheer voyeuristic frisson of knowing What Someone Else is Eating for Dinner. The fact that it's a status board, a 2-way communications system, and a blog WITHOUT HAVING A MODAL SWITCH. The similarity to Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park. The fact that it sometimes fulfills our Deep Inner Need to Complain. The fact that it is both CB radio and a Message in a Bottle.
- Karim
I thought I was the only one tweeting my dinner. Now it's a Twitter stereotype? Funny!
- Morton Fox
Also, the light hypnotic trance achieved by contemplating the question, "What are you doing?" Zen koan or accusation? YOU decide!
- Karim
The 140 character challenge... And my own unexpected answers to "What are you doing?"
- Lisa L. Seifert
I really don't have much interest in social networks like Facebook - Twitter is a social network, but lightweight enough to work for me. No fending off app requests, or visiting page after page to leave quick messages for people. Simplicity.

from twhirl
in time of social networks, twitter is the best, the reason is the people here, intelligent users give the network it's value
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I concur with most of the comments above: brevity, simplicity, quick(when it works), gets the word out, etc.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Twitter has the potential to be the fastest news reporting services on the planet.
- Vince DeGeorge
Communicating with masses in mere seconds, Twitter FTW. I love it for its sexinness, speed, and apps up the wazoo.
- Jon Bishop
Another point is the size of the group you are addressing. In FriendFeed, this comment thread is basically a small conversation between us, and anyone who happens to wander in. If I were on Twitter now, I would automatically be conversing with a few hundred people at once (or, for Robert or Jason, thousands upon thousands). A whole different dynamic of conversing.
- Ontario Emperor
I agree Ontario -- To me, the beauty of Twitter is it's 140 char limitation. No complex convos involving multiple parties make it easier to say what you have to say. No worries about not getting heard because folks are reading more than they are writing.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
I used to get a lot of my news information and announcements from sites like digg. But now that I have and use twitter I find that the fastest and easiest way to find and get information delivered directly to me instead of me having to dig through my rss subscriptions. Friendfeed is also a great way for me to get new, information and announcements but I still need to dig through the information.

from twhirl
I've got a little twitter fatigue right now (which is why the twit-out is so appealing) but ultimately, I love that it is my life's back channel. I don't care about how many people use it or what the twitter buzz is. I care about what the people in my life, or people I find interesting to my life, are thinking, feeling, finding important. The sense of connection and sense of community in the truest form of that word is what makes twitter special.
- Jason Toney
One reason that I love Twitter is because messages can be directed to me and, if people follow the syntax (use my Twitter handle at the beginning of the tweet), I will find them. Look at Shey's comment 3 above this one; I very easily could have missed it.

Tip of the day: Don't publish your private information in magazines. Then again, doesn't take a printing press to get your ID stolen.
