Google Voice is appealing to anybody who has more than one phone number of voicemail system, i.e. home and work. I think y'all are going just a *little* overboard with the "We only care because we're the tech elite" argument

I think one side-effect of Google being so successful is that fewer people have their own web pages with links to sites. And those other links used to be one of the ways Google decided what pages should be on the first page.

Not allowing "targeted messaging" on Twitter seriously constrains the potential to commercialize the service.
- Ken Sheppardson
I don't mind people who advertise "their stuff", but not an ad that someone is paying to insert their commercial in someone else's life.
- Garance Alistair
A big problem with spam ads is that they suck. They are not interesting or helpful. Compelling ads or products don't usually make spam. Just a thought.
- Joel R
The line is most blurred on TWiT when it comes to Drobo on Macbreak and TWiP

You choose what twitter is for you, it can be about conversation with people who interest you or it can be following tonnes of random people.

I don't like the idea because somebody could make it look like an ad but it might actually be say a website with a virus.

Yes, Oprah is on twitter to advertise herself. But the people *FOLLOWING* Oprah are following her because they expect that. They want Oprah's ads.
- Garance Alistair
it really depends on how often the ads come up

- Rick
Also, Twitter is the company which is spending all the money to make the service available, and these commercials are not financially helping Twitter.

Humans are inherently internally inconsistent and hypocritical, and we don't like it when other people do things we think it's OK to do ourselves. We all just need to learn to live with it and move on. ;-)

Leo has difficulty seeing other point of view here. As for me, I just won't follow an ad dropper. So some people will drop ads, and others won't. What's the big debate about?
- Preternat (Ken Cadby)
Just let the market decide. If their content isn't important enough to you, you stop following, if their content is important to you, you're gonna continue following even if they have ads
- Stephen Pickering
Preternat: He's trying to reconcile his same basic reaction with the sponsorship system on TWiT

URL shortening is a commodity with no marginal value. All the services will start to fall by the wayside, and it'll just become a feature of other sites and services.
- Ken Sheppardson
I agree and disagree, I follow certain people to advertise what they wrote or did not advertise someone elses product. I block people who only post ads, it's spam to me. I don't use twitter for ads, I use it more as an RSS in a way
- Dave Hoffman / N3PRO
from twhirl
Why can't Twitter automatically convert the shortened URLs to the actual URLs?
- Dale Feinstein
He needs money for his podcast not Twitter, Twitter is free his cost to buy stuff to make his broadcast better isn't, so ads help to make back the money he spends to bring the program to us.

you have to be an engineer to be a patent lawyer, right ?

It used to be that you could apprentice with an attorney for seven years, and that would allow you to sit for the Cal BAR in CA. Not anymore. You have to take classes at a law school now. You can, however, pass law school and call yourself a JD (Juris Doctorate).

Can't skip past the ad on the live stream can you? >_<
- Jonathan Day
No, Jonathan, you can't. 'cause they sneak in content during the ad ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
if you stop the stream and come back in... say 20 mins
- Jim Shaver
@Ken, Leo makes content out of the ads. He's just that good.
- TeraDyne Azurepaw
He's certainly mastered the Paul Harvey ad format :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
I'm not taking that risk, there might some gems of content hidden in the ad in that case. That being said I might actually give Squarespace a try - need to sort out my wordpress.com blog.
- Jonathan Day
There's an online law school (non-ABA approved) which allows you to sit for the BAR for $3K plus per year. There's another law school which meets only M-TH at night only for people who want to have a law degree for nonprofit type purposes (People's Law School or something like that). $5K plus per year.

Leo, I'm in the market for the long term so am holding. I didn't invest in fly by night funds or companies, so why would I get out now? I plan to hold for long term.

Yep knew this was coming, after TWIT the "Disciplined Investor" recommended this. Lots of opportunity still in the market. Solid investing means the long haul.

Problem is, that cash is losing value just like the stocks. Your foundation should be built of something other than money.

- Kevin Vinck
wise move... this financial mess is getting worse...freaky
- Susan Beebe
Leo will be around forever as our tech guru
- Rod Bauer
from twhirl
I think you are right and should hold some liquidity until things settle down. The market is too emotional, but deals will be abound. Flight to quality.
- Eric - seven eleven
I hope Leo consulted his financial advisor first. Mine told me to hang tight.
- Pete D
It's now a buyer's market. You can probably pick up some good bargains. Just make sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket :)
- imabonehead
Gold is okay for now, but even it is going to lose its value.
- ComicList
Cash may be losing some value, but not like stocks. How can some of you say this is the bottom, especially some of those stocks. The bottom is likely yet to come. Gold may seem cliched, but it is a safe place when all else goes in the tank. Gold related companies as well.
- Eric - seven eleven
I've deliberately not looked at our portfolios since everything starting hitting the shitter. I trust our money people...though I suppose I should call and at least make sure they've not offed themselves.

Isn't the fact that the stock market is become like it is BECAUSE people are just selling all their stocks? Sorry if I've got it wrong.... but I thought that's kinda the cause of everything,

Hope you don't miss the upswing and end up buying back in above your sell prices...
- Steve Lacey
Wish I'd learned this a lot earlier: Never. Sell. Assets. (unless you plan to actually use the money) I'm not selling a thing this time around.
- Ray Grieselhuber
Leo: you are always on KGO Radio. Did Bob Brinker recommend you do such a thing? That dude is ALWAYS right. I don't know how he does it, but he's called nearly every up and down in the past 20 years that I've been listening pretty damn accurately. He also usually gives sound advice like "don't sell all at once, but dollar cost average." Doing stuff like that keeps you from reacting emotionally at the wrong times and keeps you from trying to totally time the market, like what you're doing here.
- Robert Scoble
I have what investment cash I have in Prosper.com, earning an average of 15% to 19%, and small amounts in sharebuilder.com (very small). I prefer investing in microlending where there's a long-term almost certain return...
- Justin Long
Prosper looks cool. I wouldn't put ALL my cash there (or at least in a single loan) but I would consider putting some of it there.
- Ray Grieselhuber
I put in a set amount a month on automatic disbursement, and I am using one of prosper's automatic portfolio selectors that divides investments up amongst different grades of risk, at $50/loan. So its *very* diversified. I've been in well over a year and even with the inevitable losses that of some loans going bad, I *still* average between 15% and 19% return at any given moment. I can't say enough good things about Prosper.
- Justin Long
Sold some positions but because I am in the market for the long term, I am still investing in stocks
- Rajiv Doshi
if you'd said that in December or January you could've bought back today at a huge discount - the same will be said in 4 months time - check Gold going to 1300$ while you hold and wait

I second the motion for a Wii Fit. It's more fun than you're bouncing ball seat. For real fun I agree with the calls for Guitar Hero World Tour. Even Guitar Hero 3 is extreme fun. The tunes are just right for guys our age. GHWT however looks like it goes leaps forward. I just got mine and will be playing as soon as I get some free time. No matter what just enjoy the Wii experience and ALWAYS wear the wrist straps!

"Very interesting and a great idea... Is there any way to get that feed into the tricaster? If the Tricaster could act on what sort of content it was seeing from the feed and put up the appropriate CG up, and possibly link to that story or ad page which is then clickable (we're streaming in Flash so IT SHOULD be relativly easy but then again, I have no experience with the Tricaster). So if in the XMPP feed (for shownotes), we might have an audible ad for http://www.audible.com/twit, the tricaster would then see this as an ad and put the relavent audible CG up. If the content was a link to a story or a website you're discussing, it would put up a CG that is predefined (let's say the general TWiT one) with a clickable link to that story."
