Which Microsoft OS Will Windows 7 Cannibalize More: XP, or Vista? http://www.lockergnome.com/theorac... [I'd say Vista.]
Sarah Perez liked this
I agree.. Windows 7 will bury Vista!
- Chetan Bhawani
I'd say win7 could even give osx a run...win7 on mac hardware>? haha
- Colin McCabe
Colin, you joke, but it would be very smart if Microsoft did an ad campaign letting mac users know that they can install Win7 on their machines. They might regain some of their lost market share.

Twitter is acting crazy or some1 is trying to hack into my account. I am locked out of it and it asking me to chillax! wth
Request new password ASAP. Your FF updates are still coming on your twitter account. Someone hacked and changed your password probably.
- Chetan Bhawani
I changed my own password a few hours back and now it is not working. May be tweetdeck API did too many pings with the wrong password
- Vemana Madasu
I change my password again. and still when i logout and try to log in same case. May be I should try a new password.
- Vemana Madasu
And magically it is normal again without me doing anything. I guess all I had to do was chillax.

Interesting...! Has anyone here bought a full license? If so, is it a product you'd recommend..?

I don't have a license yet, but the application has a great UI and comes with more features than, say, CleanApp -- I think I'll buy it at some point

I "found" a copy for testing and so far I likes. Worth buying I'd say

Which would be the coolest places in India to travel during Summer?
Leh, Ladakh.. Even Goa can be fun with friends..
- Sumeet
I'd go to Kerala if the humidity doesnt kill u
- Asfaq
@Asfaq humidity in Vishakapatnam would really kill a person who is from a colder climate. Now sure about Kerala.
- Chetan Bhawani
+1 for sumeet. Leh, Ladakh or anywhere in upper kashmir is good place to visit in the summer
- Keshav Khera
Darjeeling maybe...

Does being Indian make a reason for you to follow back other Indians on Twitter???
No it doesn't.. it is the interest and not the same region which should be a reason to follow.
- Chetan Bhawani
Actually yes. It's the context. I am likely to give an Indian more of a chance than I am to someone from outside India. When I log in, I see people talking about Indian concerns like traffic, festivals, politics etc.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
@chethanbhawani What about the idea of coming together with people whose views, ideas and news which matter to you since they are from somewhere near or from the same country..
- Sumeet
@vimoh These are why I choose to follow back an Indian even with a unrefined profile..
- Sumeet
Sumeet: You mean me, right? :)
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
@vimoh No,no I mean others who follow with bad ratio(followers:following), no exact location, no bio and all..
- Sumeet
I give them a chance but add them to a watchlist. If they aren't worth it, I unfollow them.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
Unfollowing seems a little harsh to me, so I try to pass my 2-bit advice if the person is lost..And I tend to favour my countrymen..
- Sumeet
I always prefer to follow an Indian than a foreigner, i can have more informed conversation with them and could easily relate to the issues that are on roll...
- Mayur Pathak
no...who I follow on twitter is not decided by the individuals nationality, rather the interests, having people from the same area makes information abt a particular area flow faster and more efficiently, thts the only reason I subscribed ;)
- Rizwan
No it doesn't. Its really about matching interests really. Or maybe a similar circle of friends where conversations overlap
- Asfaq
For me... My aim is to follow as many Indians as possible... with Naukris :)
- Naukri
i'm very selective about who i follow. have kept it to double digits for over 2 years now. so obviously, the answer is no.
- krist0ph3r
It's all about the intent with which you are on any social media.
- sinha
It depends on the interest..regional things doesn't matter much..

I am shocked. Now sure why and how i got banned.. Sent a mail to twitter and got no response yet. Pls do send @twitter a request to restore the account. Many people doing the same can influence and make them act faster. :(

Do I have to login to friendfeed to post here? Can I post from twitter or from another client?
Kol Tregaskes liked this
You have to actually login, as its a special feed group and not the direct friendfeed profile page of yours. So you have to come into this page and post to talk to the group. I am trying to look out for something which is more easier to use.. do you guys like any email groups?

Ad makers of BSNL 3G are thinking they can send a beautiful actress to tell others that BSNL 3G is fast and affordable. WTH.. We need figures talking here and I'm not talking about Deepika, I need to know How Fast and How much cost in figures to go for a service..
Hehe still people would be hearing more to @gulpanag than Deepika.. as Gul still knows better about Internet than Deepika.

Same here. Just temporary, try again I presume.

I just got the same message, so I'm leaving it for (much) later. But cool that I got it and was able to come here to Friendfeed to find I'm not alone.

I went with the combo updater instead (which was much faster as well): http://bit.ly/iCGdw Worked fine.

Nevermind, I just did a quick check of some of your twitter accounts. You're from all over. Guess it's Apple's problem.

I had the same error. I closed down firefox and all other programs and updated again. The update worked fine after that.

Seems like after a forced reboot and a couple auto restarts it lets you back in to the OS
- Joshua Schnell
Can i get a link to the combo update page of Apple website?

Chetan: Look through the comments above ...

I had that error too. I waited a few hours and tried to download it again. Worked that time.

I got that same message 4 times when I was updating my MacBook Air. Had to shut down and start over from the beginning and then it went fine.

Absolutely no issues on 10.5.7 for me- did the massive Combo update and now my MB is even faster and runs cooler, with longer battery life too!

this does not surprise me. i have spent a lot of time in industrial companies and email is the most advanced tech that has traction. can't even get secure sharepoint sites to get traction with execs!

Were you surprised? It amazes me how few people (in general) know about these....especially Twitter.

I am not surprised. The day these and other such folks get onto social media, social media will be passe ;)

Ya i suspect by end of 2009 it will have hit mainstream consciousness, but still obscure now.

It would have been a surprise if they had. Good job Robert is on hand to spread the word.

There was a seminar on social media and communications in Toronto last night and a few people had never heard of Twitter, either. Is it really surprising or are we just to immersed in it?
- Bonnie Dean
It took me years to get around to wanting to use Twitter. I read about it regularly at Coding Horror (ex: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog...) for at least a year but I just didn't see the point. I finally registered because I wanted to reply to a friend's tweet. I think for a lot of people it's more of a reticence to join social networks than plain technophobia.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
that says something doesnt it?
- Richard Binhammer
This is not surprising. Recall that John McCain does not even use email. And I am sure most, if not all, of these "top" executives are part of McCain's generation.
- Joe Lima
I haven't touched Qik/Seesmic/Kyte because I can't work out the difference. Not surprised most won't have heard of them or Twitter
- Luke
Robert, send them an invoice for innovation consulting! ;-)

Make a list of top execs who do know about social media.
- stefan hyttfors
Not Surprising, I'd consider myself fairly Tech savvy and although i've been registered for ages i only just started Tweeting. Although given the publicity it's had in the last few weeks i'm slightly surprised.
- Jamie Vidamour
but i guess they know about Facebook ? well, i think twitter is more for more tech people
- Junal Rahman
Do you think their assistants know about those technologies? My understanding of CEO responsibility is that they have to think on a super broad and strategic level. Many of those technologies are about integrating tiny pieces of information into something bigger. Since that's not really their job, I would think those services would be off the CEO's radar until they have an impact at that high level. Right?
- David Wynn
from fftogo
Our CMO @BestBuyCMO relayed a similar experience at a CMO dinner he was one or two of 10+ who knew about the tools and he certainly was the top user of them.
- Ben Hedrington
It's not surprising, if you think about it, but it's still unfortunate. Top executives are hardly "the mainstream" and if they're not in tech or marketing, those types of communication are not foremost in their minds. I know one chief exec. of a Fortune 1000 company who still has his "important" emails (as determined by his assistant) printed out and put on his desk every day.
- Robert Clockedile
from twhirl
This does not surprise me in the least. Yes, awareness is growing but anyone who assumes that our social media world has "made it' to mainstream is unclear on the concept.
- Cathy Brooks
from twhirl
I've never expected top executives to have a clue about anything. They're just a figure head for the company. They pay others around them to do the grunt work.

What a surprise!! Here in Brazil I've asked to my friends and coworkers and nobody knew about Twitter. Well, some of my friends don't even check e-mails account daily...
- Flavio Knopp
it goes to show that twitter, kyte, friendfeed, etc... haven't really hit the mainstream yet... user adoption will always be a problem no matter what platform or software is out there.
- Dejim Juang
Most of them can't even use email....
- Stuart Murray Walton
What is the point of Twitter, Kyte etc when hundreds of thousands of people are losing their jobs and we are in global economic crisis? Don't these top execs have bigger issues at hand? Are we drinking too much social media coolade in these times?
- Andy Oliver
Dejim: I would not consider 30 executives not knowing about Twitter to equate to these services not being in the mainstream. It you ever worked with "top" executives, you'd be amazed by how much "mainstream" knowledge they really lack.
- Joe Lima
I'm doing a Social Media 101 seminar in a few weeks for entrepreneurs who haven't touched linkedin.com, facebook, or twitter. Seminar is full. We'll likely do 2 or 3 more. I'm not surprised at your group's ignorance.

I'm a publisher in medical technology market data and I continue to be stunned at how much behind the tech curve my audience of medtech companies is. Their rate of adoption of social media, like their adoption of new information technologies, lags at the same rate as physicians, who are traditionally slow to adopt any new technologies other than medical technologies.
- Patrick Driscoll
Top *executives*? No surprise there, unless they're *tech* executives. Gates or Dell not knowing would be worrying, but should a boss at Exxon or Rolls-Royce (the aero engine company) know or care any more than we'd know or care about distillate refining or FADEC aero engine controllers?
- James
I don't think we are drunk on social media when we say that in spite of the downturn and maybe because of it, we need to look at the enormous possibilities of social media at the very least as a brand loyalty mechanism(ie I am more apt to subscribe to products from companies/ people that I have a more intimate relationship with).
- Phillip
The other issue with non tech executives not tuned in is their reluctance to accept ideas that don't have a direct and obvious connection to ROI. I have to admit (and I'm not blowing my horn) that during the pre-internet heydey, I felt like Tom Hanks in "Big" raising my hand to say, "I don't get it". Then, I couldn't understand why website traffic mattered more than revenue.
- Patrick Driscoll
Recently, I spoke with a colleague of mine, a university professor of linguistics known as geek. I asked if someone is studying tweets' peculiar language and style from a scientific point of view. "Twitter?" he said, "Microblogging? never heard before". A geek, they say. Well...
- PaperDoll
not surprised at all. You may try to ask if they know Firefox
- ClubEddy - clubeddy.com
There's a whole tendency in social media toward rapidly accepting what's at the front edge of development, while at the back end, product managers, sales/marketing and other grunts are just struggling to hit their numbers. They don't live and breathe the latest info tool -- they live and breathe their own product.
- Patrick Driscoll
OK, I'm hogging the airwaves, but one last point. When I look at new medical technologies emerging in the market, I have to bring in two very important perspectives: the opinion-leading early adopters (docs at universities or highly visible MD-consultants to industry) and the regular practicing physician working in the trenches of daily care. Social media evangelists would have me pay much more attention (I'm simplifying a bit) to the opinion-leaders.

I don't think that social media is so important that everyone MUST take part in it. If I had more of a life (was a busy doctor or exec.), twitter and friendfeed would be the last thing that I would do in my spare time -especially twitter.
- BEX
Ok, twitter might be something they need to know, but Kyte? Qik? Far too early for both of them to be at executive level of a non-tech company.

Carol Bartz doesn't use Flickr and she's Yahoo's CEO. Her daughter does use facebook to post photos though.

Our organzation is doing well w/Facebook with more plans for expansion after receiving demographics that show a high number of professional level participants and 30 and up crowd. I always considered FB for kids.

I can belive Qik and Kyte. But Twitter. That is tough. Of course my CEO doesn't know what SEO is.
- John Flynn
Robert, that does seem strange. But then I see smaller co's. and non-profits jumping into Twitter, FB,etc. faster. My theory is because start-ups and NP's are open to the pool of university student volunteer workers, interns, and beginners out there who are more saavy in this area.

Non-tech CEOs is not surprising. However, depending on the kind of executive not knowing at least 1 like Twitteer may be troubling. For example if they are media companies or telecom companies then that is a more troubling thought than say the executive for a manufacturing company. Ultimately the lack of knowledge is a reflection of the type of talent they recruit and how that impacts their corporate culture now and in the future.

Using our difficult economic circumstances to dismiss the tools of Web 2.0, be it Twitter, Facebook, or something else is to embrace the status quo.

what is more significant/startling... that some do not know about twitter et al, or that some know and do not understand the value either personal or business wise? and believe me i know plenty people who know about twitter et al and just do not get the value. nor the point. which tells me social media is in its infancy still - we all know that of course. then again it took me 2-3 years to figure out email way back when ;)
