Now, try earning that in millions per annum as a company listed on the gambling board. I mean, stock exchange. Ah!

i'm confused Tobias, not sure what you mena. Clearly yes, race has played a big role in this election.
- Zee.
Obama is the first president without grey hair? Really?
- Peter
Tobias, voting for or against Obama based on race would have been to vote ignoring all the other other issues at hand so it wasn't a focal point. Now that he's won we're free to focus on the historical moment of having our first minority President and what that means and says about us as a country.
- David Knight
@David Knight I think you nailed it. The focus on race that you see right now shouldn't be classed as "since Obama won" but "at the moment of his winning." We have crossed a boundary. We should take note. Now that we've crossed, our attention to Obama's race will dissipate. On the other hand, the fact of his race, name, and lineage will loom large in foreign policy throughout his presidency.

@gregory. It isn't just coincidence that all 44 are male, and 43 are white. If we want to follow the path to ensuring that differences are not barriers, we can't deny that historically they have been. Following that path requires us to cross some boundaries into new territory. This graphic marks one such boundary. I believe it puts us closer to your wish of "human not color"
- Michael Markman
We've come far, FAR, in what amounts to only a couple generations. With not only the memory, but the living memory, still so fresh in so many, acknowledging and even celebrating each step down that road to unity is to pay respect to those did and gave so much to bring us this far.
- Michael W. May
I completely agree with your last statement Gregory so why have you bought it up in the first place? (in your first comment)

Celebration and Acknowledgment, even Discussion surrounding a Black Man as US President shouldn't be expunged, ignored, or stifled based on the We're All Created Equal argument. That sounds fairly bananas to me.
- Marko Bon
There's been some focus on race last night and today, but it will probably die down, just as the focus on gender died down within a few days of Pelosi's elevation to Speaker of the House, or O'Connor's elevation to the Supreme Court. Pelosi and O'Connor were eventually evaluated based upon the issues, and Obama will be (and has been) evaluated based on the same.

Ansel Adams - Tribute page by Carletto di San Giovanni [MySpace] - http://profile.myspace.com/index...
Chris Maughan, CW™, Ayşe E. and 31 other people liked this
Adams was born in San Francisco, California in an upper-class family to Charles and Olive Adams. When he was four years old, he was tossed face-first into a garden wall in an aftershock from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, breaking his nose.
- Mitchell Tsai
from Bookmarklet
Adams' father decided to pull Ansel out of school in 1915, at the age of 12. He was to be educated by private tutors and, with this, his father also arranged for him to take piano lessons and to learn Greek. From years of music his original passion was to become a concert pianist, but Adams became interested in photography after seeing Paul Strand's negatives. Adams long alternated between a career as a concert pianist and one as a photographer.
- Mitchell Tsai
Ansel Adams first came to Yosemite National Park in 1916.
- Mitchell Tsai
Adams was an avid mountaineer in his youth and participated in the club's annual "high trips", and was later responsible for several first ascents in the Sierra Nevada. It was at Half Dome in 1927 that he first found that he could make photographs that were, in his own words, "…an austere and blazing poetry of the real".
- Mitchell Tsai
One of my favorite interviews was with Ansel's son, here: http://www.fastcompany.tv/video... -- did you know that the music on that video is actually Ansel Adams' piano playing? We have one of the few recordings of his music, thanks to his family.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I watched that video when you first posted it. Great interview and I do look forward to seeing more from the PhotoCycle series.
- Justin Korn
Robert: I like that FastComany's videos don't auto-play. I can open the video in a tab & listen to it when I have time. Fun to see Yosemite's Glacier Point again after 2 visits to Yosemite this summer. :-)
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mitchell Totally agree, it's little things like that I like on the web. Can't stand autoplay vids!
- Mo Kargas
Justin: the PhotoCycle series got a funding green light (thanks to a sponsorship from Adobe) and we'll be starting that up probably in October. Got some really fun ones planned for that. In the meantime, though, we just interviewed Rick Smolan, photographer behind the Day in the Life series of photo books. That should be out later this week or next week and is a good one.

"But as with any product used to excess, consumers often wonder about the health consequences. And researchers readily oblige. Hardly a month goes by without a report that hails coffee, tea or caffeine as healthful or damns them as potential killers. Can all these often contradictory reports be right? Yes. Coffee and tea, after all, are complex mixtures of chemicals, several of which may independently affect health."

From Yodel Anecdotal (Yahoo's Corporate Blog): "I emailed Matt on a lark, with an invitation to come do a video with Yahoos in Sunnyvale. What you see here is the effect of one incredibly willing Internet phenomenon, as I dragged him hither and yon across our campus to shoot 33 scenes in less than seven hours. This video closed a recent company all-hands meeting — webcast to 14,000 employees worldwide — as a reminder that, in spite of the extraordinary events of last seven months, this is still one helluva great company."

I'm going to drop my blog from my FriendFeed account. I don't like how FF posts my blog posts automatically without images. I'm going to drop my blog feed from my FF account and just manually share items on FF directly from my blog. This way I can include images that go with stories. I think.

My posts often have a lot of images. I've felt sheepish about direct posting them to FriendFeed with the images, but perhaps I should try direct posting too.
- Hutch Carpenter
lately I've been sharing the blog posts with images on FF and then just manually deleting from FF my blog post when it shows up without the image. But it's a pain to do that and since almost every entry on my blog includes an image I think that this represents a better way to post my blog content to my FF account.
- Thomas Hawk
Good idea. Can't FriendFeed automatically include images?
- Benedikt Koehler
FF should just turn itself into a blogging platform and be done with it
- Brian Sullivan
Thomas, what do you use to publish your posts?
- Roberto Bonini
Benedikt, they don't at present. I think it would be a good feature to have, but probably not easy as oftentimes blog posts use multiple images and FF wouldn't know which one automatically to scrape. That's why doing it manually this way might be the better way to go -- at least for me.
- Thomas Hawk
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I never even check to see how it looks, Oy, sometimes I wonder how I make it through the day!
- Karen Swim
@Thomas: True, it's not that easy. But I don't want to drop my blog from my FF account because it kind of defines my identity here. There are no profiles, so you just have the list of your (potential) friends' feeds.
- Benedikt Koehler
Just checked the API. It supports uploading images. I have a Windows Live Writer Plugin I'm thinking of including auto image upload in.
- Roberto Bonini
hmm. good point Benedikt, maybe I'll leave my blog and then just keep quickly deleting my blog posts as they post to FF manually instead. Might be more work to do it this way though. Will have to see how it goes. I just think that blog posts are enhanced immeasurably on FF when they have images and a snippet of text from the post to give the reader an idea what the blog post is about beyond a simple blog headline.
- Thomas Hawk
one thing maybe FF could do would be to somehow autodetect any embedded flickr/zooomr/smugmug/picassa, etc. code in a blog post and use the first image to accompany a blog headline. Might also be nice to see the first few sentences of a blog post's text along with the headline as well.
- Thomas Hawk
@Thomas: Absolutely! First thing FF could implement would be the ability to switch auto-feeding of your blogs to FF off and on. So you would not have to delete your blog from your "not-quite-profile".
- Benedikt Koehler
I've been thinking the same Thomas. I was thinking of re-sharing via the bookmarklet, but that just causes echo. Your solution just makes more work and takes the point away. Perhaps FF should scrape the first picture within the body of the post at the very least?
- Justin Korn
I'm falling behind on the conversation apparently. One step further to what has been suggested would be to allow your blog post to post private first, allow you to add pictures, comments etc, before it goes "live" on FF...
- Justin Korn
I agree that this is a deficiency of FF. Not sure how they would implement it automatically though.
- Jeff P. Henderson
++ Thomas' last recommendation, this would be great.
- jcunwired
Thomas: Just realized one lost if you do that is you lose the use of the FriendFeed plugin on your blog.
- Justin Korn
hmmm.. I never thought of that. Thanks for mentioning that Justin. That's a pretty good reason not to delete my blog posts... grrrr.. I wish that there was just a way that I could get my photos from my posts apended to my blog entries. Even a "share image with this post" button on FF afterwards to add a graphic could be helpful.
- Thomas Hawk
Wish there was a good way to make things work for you! I need to rethink a lot of the services I import, too.
- Andy DeSoto
Thomas: Agreed, that would be nice. I actually sent an note to Glenn Slaven (author of the WordPress plugin) to see if there is a way around this. We'll see if anything comes of it.
- Justin Korn
Thomas, perhaps keep double posting (Blog & bookmarklet), but don't bother to delete the blog (e.g. Louis Gray leaves a twitter, blog post, and Google Reader on FF for all his articles). Searches by service (blog) won't find your articles. Usually bookmarklet will beat the blog post by a wide margin, so it gives comments time to accumulate on the bookmarklet post.
- Mitchell Tsai
second mitchell. people will want to see your link from your profile, search through it - and most people will ignore the double postign or can act to it.
- Nicole Simon
I think posts with a picture garner more attention on Friendfeed, so that seems wise.
- Meryn Stol
though about a autodetect for flickr, zooomr, etc. option, would be a massive feature
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
There should be a FriendFeed plugin for WordPress - haven't looked for it - that does exactly this. Analyze your post, then offer the title, excerpt and an image. Just remembered: that wouldn't help Thomas, since he's on blogger.com. Hmm. Maybe some kind of Greasemonkey script?
- Holger Eilhard
I think FF should add support for better addition of blog post together with photos.
- Daniel Schildt
+1 for FF plugin for WP
- Ernie Oporto
It would be great to get WP plugin for FriendFeed but problem remains for people who use hosted service at WordPress.com or somewhere elso who can't add plugin to blog software.
- Daniel Schildt
I was thinking about same step - de-registering. BTW, some blog platforms might have event-driven API and, as consequence, on event of posting you might get called also FF's code (bookamarklet?)
- A.T.
@Thomas, I have created a new WordPress Plugin to automatically post link to your blog posts with images to FriendFeed every time you publish a blog post in WordPress. Plugin can be found at http://sudarmuthu.com/blog.... FriendFeed Discussion at http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Sudar
I am also working on a script for non-WordPress platforms like blogger. Please let me know if you have any feedback
- Sudar
The non-WordPress version is available now at http://sudarmuthu.com/project... Let me know if you have any feedback.
- Sudar
I only use my own photo blog to post photographs (why post anywhere else in addition?). They are picked up from the photo blog feed by FF just fine.
- Ulrich Hilger
@Ulrich, what software are you using to host your photoblog?
- Sudar
@Sudar: I developed it myself using Java and Java Server Pages. I run it on my own Linux server using Tomcat and MySQL.
- Ulrich Hilger
Just looked at the entire discussion here (not just the post from Thomas). I guess to pick up photo posts in blogs requires a change in how a particular blog publishes RSS feeds from new content for FF to recognize posted photos correctly. Just a guess, the creators of FF might be able to describe it better...
- Ulrich Hilger
Another problem with deleting your blog from FF: If you would be using a plugin like WP-Friendfeed-Comments (I guess, there will be more soon) that integrates the Friendfeed discussion into your blog, it cannot find the discussion.

Simplicity is hard to build, easy to use, and hard to charge for. Complexity is easy to build, hard to use, and easy to charge for.

There's something in this statement that explains why people love to use tools like Twitter but are unwilling to pay for it and hate to use complex app's like SAP but are more than willing to pay for it.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Stockholm syndrome?

I think some of the complexity of enterprise apps like SAP comes from their decisions to address multiple niche use cases that people are willing to pay for.
- Kris
It seems like there's a lot of effort involved in simplifying things, it involves a global perspective of what you're doing and ultimately you may have to move slower down a narrower path than if you simply added complexity, but perhaps the results are more stable and more valuable.
- Robin Barooah
Wow - well put! and soo true!
- Susan Beebe
This is a good statement - vey good statement. DO the credit's got to you ?
- Peter Dawson
Could be that complexity adds a non-financial transaction cost that makes the money a much smaller part of the TCO. Companies are willing to pay it because the benefit they get is presumably greater than complexity cost + financial cost. Simple companies like Google and Apple are profitably able to go after more marginal niches.
- Jonathan Tang
when a firm calls themselves a Solution Provider, you can be sure that they are really a Problem Provider. They get you to exchange an acute problem, the need to manage information, for a chronic problem, complexity that must be outsourced.
- Neil Kandalgaonkar
@Peter Dawson - I came up with that after spending a lot of time this afternoon thinking about a startup with whom I have been working. (Not Twitter, btw). Thanks to all the nice things people have said and even more thanks to folks who keep the conversation going. I love that about FF.
