“watchmen trailer is up http://is.gd/WDq”

Shiny. Although, I don't get the "watch" (as in timepiece) metaphor with the title. I thought they were the watch-(as in watch over)-men. - John via twhirl

I think the gears (a) indicate that Dr. Manhattan will take a large role (he was associated with the watchmaker motif in the graphic novel) and (b) suggest the conspiratorial machinery at play in the plot. - Clay Spinuzzi

“Friendfeed v. Twitter: Half The Followers In Five Months http://tinyurl.com/5dw7jm”

I was going to say something about how that isn't the case for me until someone just did subscribe. - Trevor

For those early adopters on Twitter, it's likely there's a 2:1 ratio of Twitter to FriendFeed. For those of us weighted the other way, it's 2:1 in favor of FriendFeed. - Louis Gray

Louis - 'tis true. - Hutch Carpenter

When I was on Twitter for four months I only had 2,000 followers. In the same time on FriendFeed I've gotten to 15,000 followers. - Robert Scoble

Yeah? Well I have one MILLION followers here. HA! Not only that, but I have 42 *billion* on BrightKite, 18 million on Pownce, 3.14159 million on Plurk, 1.1 million on hoozurdaddy, 321,000 on webtooohhhhfriendme.com......... - Adam Lasnik

Adam: you should meet Tom over on MySpace. He has millions of friends. You guys could start a club! - Robert Scoble

Yes, but he gets more women than I do :P. - Adam Lasnik

True empowerment comes in the culling of those you follow. - Bernie Goldbach

Rabbits like cheese. It's about as interesting at the friendfeed v. twitter debate. Time for new content. - Andy

Steve Gillmor, at breakfast today, said "it's a slow news year." This is just another example of that. :-) - Robert Scoble

Yeah, Andy! Let's talk about Digg, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft instead :D - Adam Lasnik

The FF vs Twitter meme needs to die - Mike Doeff

Mike: it's about time for the Mac vs. Windows meme to come back yet again. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert, at this point I'll take Mac vs. Windows over FF vs. Twitter. Bring it on! - Mike Doeff

The FriendFeed versus Twitter debate reminds me of those old Miller Lite commercials... Tastes Great! Less Filling! - Mike Doeff

sometimes you have to tell your readers what's interesting so later on they know what's going on. - michael arrington

Sure you do, but count up the number of twitter v. FF posts lately. Between commenting on the amount of downtime, who is better, the founders being the next "bill gates" and a plethora of other commentary - think enoughs, enough. Simple. :D - Andy

Michael, can you tell me why you banned me on TehcCrunch? I was never abusive to you or to your readers on TechCrunch! I know I said some negative things about you on Social Media networks but it was constructive criticism and not an attack on you or TechCrunch! You never said anything about me negatively in public so I am not targeting you! TechCrunch is your blog so you have a right to who you want to post there, but if you want 2 be seen as an open minded person u should allow all type of criticism on TC - Igor The Troll

My FF/Twitter follow ratio is 10/1 for some reason ;) - Paul Buchheit

Paul this might be the first time I've seen you comment about the FF/Twitter notes (but I may just not follow these conversations enough). Everyone loves to compare the two, but for you/ founders, what's the actual vision for FF? It doesn't seem to me to really be a twitter competitor at all, where, as I said before, Twitter is about quick, fleeting messages, while FF fosters permanent discussion centered around your content pulled in from anywhere you exist online. - David Adewumi

That's correct David. I just thought it would be funny to add my more lopsided ratio to the discussion. - Paul Buchheit

more interesting: what percentage of visitors to your blog use IE vs. FireFox? I recently checked analytics on one of my sites and it was 65% FF :-) - Andy Sternberg

it's good to see you have a sense of humor about it, even if everyone else takes it so seriously... - David Adewumi

I don't know, I'm seeing a lot of variation. My FF friends in academics seem to have just a handful of friends in FF and treat it as simple lifestreaming aggregation. Those in the tech industry are much more likely to have conversations here. - Clay Spinuzzi

Is it just a sign of no techie friends that no one I know is on FF or Twitter??? - S. Patrick Kaine

I wouldn't overlook the fact that Twitter broke a lot of new ground. I would bet 90%+ of your FF followers are also on twitter. - Scott Watermasysk

115 on Twitter, 23 on FF for me. Of course I have no idea how I got to 115 on Twitter and only an handful of them actually contribute anything. Of course, I'm also not anywhere close to having as many friends as you do (I don't even think I'm on the 'y-list' when it comes to bloggers). You know, I wonder what the ratio would be with "mutual" friends, ie: people you're subscribed to who have subscribed to you. - Adam C.

Does anyone use FriendFeed for any purpose other than discussing FriendFeed? At least Twitter conversations are about life. - William Beem

At some point the comment count within FriendFeed will surpass blog comment counts. - Ben Parr

It's not surprising that everyone's FF network is growing faster than their Twitter network did. When building your twitter network, you had to have some way for people to find you. When building your FF network, all you had to do was Tweet about it. Robert, how many FF followers do you get each time you Tweet, "I'm using FriendFeed a lot more now."? My guess is that most FF networks are a subset of twitter networks because that's how it's easiest for us to find each other. - Ryan Kuder

One data point does not make a trend. - Glen Campbell

i've created a video that explains most likely how they got this many so quickly - http://www.centernetworks.com/... - Allen Stern

And for some of us who actually have an organic growth pattern, neither. - Cyndy

Well now ive moved to Friend Feed must say i like it - Bullying UK via twhirl

Writing in the Digital Age at e-Literate

June 27 at 10:43 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

I know it's not the point of the article but I'm really interested in the way people talk about people using technology. Take, for example, this sentence: "Despite the perceived tech-savvy nature of these Millennials..." This encapsulates what has become a familiar trope when it comes to talking about technology: gathering people of a similar age into a group, slapping a label on it, and ascribing technological prowess (or lack thereof) to it. To wit: your students can teach you a lot about computers but your grandmother cannot. At a very particular moment, that might have been true. But I'm not so sure it is useful. And it probably obscures a lot about what your grandmother COULD in fact teach you about technology given that she has seen more of it come and go. - William Burdette via Bookmarklet

Right, I am really tired of this handwaving about millenials. - Clay Spinuzzi

“I always use more olive oil than i expected when frying egg plant”

June 29 at 1:42 pm - Link

have you thought why you do that? cause you are not the only person - david

I think the eggplant is more absorbent than I expect. So I pour more olive oil in, and eventually I overcompensate and end up with about a quarter cup too much olive oil at the end. No worries, I just pour it into the eggplant parmesan. - Clay Spinuzzi
