Is Twitter about to retire the whale? - http://royal.pingdom.com/...
fbrunel, Victor and Mladen Srdić liked this
I have been noticing that Twitter has been getting better lately. Does that mean that it soon will be time to add some new features and/or turn on old ones?
- Robert Scoble
I've just met the whale. So, I don't thinkTwitter is working as good as it could just yet.

I think they shoid turn on the im thing again!

The conversation on cnet's "indecent exposure" photo podcast is a little dry, but its also new. They dont quite have as much fun as buzzoutloud yet. And TPN - The digital photography show is making a comeback, after being down for a month or so.

I guess that means that he knows there's something called the "Internet". That's almost as good as the head of german ministry of justice answering "Browser? What was a browser just now?" who still prepares laws pertaining to users of said Internet.
- Andre Heinrichs
The problem with McCain's statement is that it reveals a lack of intellectual curiosity about strategic developments in the world that are affecting us all. He seems to be out of touch with what is going on in the real world, and becoming more out of touch with each passing day. This situation is not going to improve -- he is in a state of mental decline. Without puppeteers at his elbow, like Joseph Lieberman, he would be completely adrift.

Turn it around: Is _the Internet_ aware of John McCain? Just so happens I interviewed _the Internet_ the other day and when asked the pointed question: "Many claim you _are aware_ of John McCain, but don't think he's relevant?", it mustered its best Cheney impression and said, "So?"
- Micah Wittman
Perhaps Mr. Bush could show him the Google?
- Philipp Lenssen
George W. was also just "aware" of newspapers, and you see where that got us. As for the Internet, remember his famous quote about the "Internets" : "Information is moving -- you know, nightly news is one way, of course, but it's also moving through the blogosphere and through the Internets." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 2, 2007

from twhirl
This makes sense considering his comments on net-neutrality. Troubling though across the board, given that there are so many issues still very much on the table.
- jcunwired
The key issue IMO is that the Internet is one of the key drivers that is transforming the economy. And if you don't "get" that, then you won't understand how we need to change how the gov't interacts with the economy. New leadership should "get" alternative energy, the Internet, biotech and other key transformational technologies. That way, we can spearhead efforts (funding, education, etc) to lead in those areas. It's not enough to simply be aware they exist.
- Barry Graubart
from twhirl
lol. The definition of non-sequitir is to couple the word 'awareness' and McCain.
- S Adler
It was Mark Soohoo, who works on John McCain's campaign.
- Robert Scoble
That must explain why he doesn't know what a blogger is - OH WAIT he has been holding regular conference calls with bloggers for over a year now. to @jasonburton's point - last time I checked the president does not run the internet so what exactly about that example makes sense? Should we now make computer literacy a prerequisite for serving as an elected official? Trust me - I wish he wouldn't have said it but until someone can prove to me that not being tech savvy is a prerequisite for leadership...
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
@Kirk Kittell - That's the wrong comparison. What you said (playing violin necessary to understand music) would mean that he's asked to be a programmer to understand technology. No, it's enough to use it - much like I demand somebody to like to listen the music they say they understand. So as long as he's not actually used the internet, a word processor and simple stuff like that, I think it's a save assumption that he doesn't understand anything. Well, he doesn't understand economy too, by his own account.
- sebmos
American's generates more Internet related innovation particularly in content generation, and social media but there are many other countries leading in eGov services. Looks like McCain won't be helping you guys out with the digitisation of your Gov services anytime soon.
- Roger Kondrat
Marco - would tech savvy requirement in this day and age be such a bad thing?
- jason burton
@jason absolutely not (although "requirement" may be a bit extreme) - just trying to point out that alot of the comments are illogical and unnecessarily extreme. I would love it if McCain was a mobile computing, FriendFeeding maniac but someone can be a good President without having to be tech savvy. (I say that knowing full well that McCain's lack of tech capabilities is far from the only problem most people on this thread have with McCain.)
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
@sebmos - Yeah, I might be off a bit (though in your example, I'd compare the programmer to the music composer, but I get you). The point I'm really getting as is that I don't hold this against him at all. He doesn't need to understand the technology or use a computer to be President -- as long as he is the best guy to lead the nation and is open to appointing the right people to positions that need those skills. I might have voted for him in 2000, but not this year; he's not a Luddite, perhaps, but close.
- Kirk Kittell
McCain isn't the President for me. I'm looking for a president that understands how to get in touch with my generation, and the internet is my primary source of information. If McCain doesn't use a computer and can't tap into that stream of info, he's going to have a hard time understanding what I want and how to give it to me. I'm not faulting him for his computer illiteracy, I just know that unless you use the same general set of tools that I use, we're going to be out of sync.
- Nick Malaguti
Presidents need a deep understanding of Government, International relations and defense strategy. They need to have experience working with other government members. They need to have a lot of skills.... whether or not they know how to follow me on a Twitter account is so far down the list it is microscopic.
- Soulhuntre
The next president will have to deal with an issue more important than net neutrality - oil. Does McCain know how to change the oil in his car? Does Obama? Barr? McKinney? Nader? (Oh, Nader probably rides a bicycle.)
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
The fact that McCain graduated near the bottom of his class at Annapolis, is nearly as inarticulate and incoherent as George W. Bush, and is under the thumb of the same neoconservatives who engineered the worst foreign policy disaster in American history (the Iraq War), is probably more significant than the fact that McCain hasn't demonstrated the slightest intellectual interest in a...

- Sean McBride
Wow, I can't believe that a candidate would lack computer skills some 20 years after they've been in use. I suppose he's had secretaries, law clerks and aids his entire professional life so he didn't *need* to use a computer per se. This is astounding to me and clearly seems untenable for a Presidential candidate today.

In addition to who edythe mentioned, I'd add Louis Gray and Shey for the straight up tech side of things. I'd say edythe, Ginger Makela, Thomas Hawk, and Bret Taylor are also very active and are sharing and recommending a lot of interesting stuff outside of technology/social media/early adoption.

Anybody who is participating in a discussion, making FriendFeed what it is. That's the beauty of it; there are no power user - the power is in the network. No matter on which side of the Content Discovery and Conversation you may be; viz the originator or the consumer; the equation is just not complete without participation from the other end. Its all in the Network.

Well, I'm just subscribed to Robert Scoble, and I'm seeing a lot of stuff I wouldn't have seen otherwise, that's quite cool. Hey, Robert: Thanks for being subscribed to cool people ;-)
- Andre Heinrichs
I think the power of FriendFeed is that there isn't a single global discussion, but lots of local eddies surrounding the global stream of consciousness. Lots of discoveries are made in eddies, and judged by local communities. The ones that are generally interesting make it to a wide audience, through comments, likes, and resharings. To answer Nick's question: in my local eddy, I see Jason Wehmhoener and Paul Buchheit as “power users”.
- Amit Patel
Yeah Amit, that's part of what I've been trying to figure out: eddies, cliques, or broad interconnectedness.... A lot of the big users people have been mentioning here tend to overlap each other, so perhaps there are "unexplored" sections of FF which are quite active, but they don't overlap. (particularly when done in other languages). (We touched on that in the middle of this discussion as well: http://friendfeed.com/e... )

- Eitan Burcat
@Subhasish Vodafone's press statement a couple of months back was generic w.r.t. SE Asia which was assumed to include India. Bharati made an official press release with Tim Cook that they will be launching in India in partnership. What puzzles me is the speeds that they will be able to support on their networks. popular high speed 3G technologies are CDMA based, UMTS & HSDPA: http://www.apple.com/pr... Though this was in the print edition of yesterdays BS, I can't find it online.
- Parth Awasthi
Parth My concern too. Neither Bharti nor Vodafone have true 3G networks. Not much idea about the CDMA services. UMTS uses the W-CDMA air interface but it was designed to be implemented over a GSM infrastructure. Hopefully these guys would be in a position to implement it.

Shoot. So......the 3g won't be out til then as well?

Why do they keep gouging iPod Touch owners?
- Graeme Shaw
Oh, phooey. I was hoping for a bit earlier than that - then again, I'm still excited :)
- Jennifer Dittrich
@Graeme It has something to do with accounting and revenue recognition. Or so Apple claims...
- Kevin D. White
"Why do they keep gouging iPod Touch owners?" because they didn't cough up for the contract.
- Gez
great so i'll have it for my july 4th bbq?
- Noah Carter
Argh! That means no new HW today? @Graeme - it has to do with accounting - iPhones are accounted for over a period of time so they get the upgrades, Touch's are accounted for all at once, so because of SarbOx they have to charge - at least that's my possibly flawed understanding.

Just wait... he's got something else up his sleeve

My bet iPhone 2 hardware in July.
- Steve Rubel
but rumor mongering and speculation is soooo much fun!

given that we haven't talked about hardware yet - I assume the iPhone 2 is going to be the OMT

if app is 10MB or less you can download over cellular, wifi or itunes otherwise no cell network

If 10MB is the limit for cell then EDGE can't be the network. 10MB over EDGE would take for ever.

maintain a persistant IP connection right to the phone, push their notifications through apple to your application

appear just like SMS messages now appear

sounds like a decent solution - not sure it will make all devs happy

it scales to many 3rd party services, but only one persistant connection needed

Every notification has to go through Apple?

this is absolutely the best way to implement this.
- Sam Pullara
Will it work on iPod Touch?
- Andre Heinrichs
listening to the audiofeed from wwdc. Why do people clap at every word Steve says? =)
- Davide D'Incau
This is *creepy*, so now Apple isn't just the gateway to get all apps, it's also the sole conduit for these update messages? The single point of failure and the place for the gov't to go? Hrm... may be good technology, but it does raise some concerns...
- felix
How will this work with somnething like chat? Instead of the chap app directly going and getting, now the developer has to set up a server to pull all chats and funnel those through Apple?
- felix
hm, so Apple will have working Comet until September?
- Stoyan Zhekov
yep, smart move.
- Graham Garland
@felix yes, that is the way it would work. presumably most chat apps will be built by the chat service themselves and this won't be an additional server at all.
