They disturb me, but I can't shake the feeling that if I just tried one that I might experience something like a religious revelation. - Daniel Andrlik
Dude, this is full of SO much awesome... - Dan Patterson
I just finish a session with WiiFit and see this??? eek! - Linda Mills
Well, I stopped smoking for six years (and still going strong, knock wood) so I think I can stop blogging for a week (actually just four days). - Dave Winer
Ha ha! yeah, but you're still a "blogger"... :) - Kenneth LeFebvre
I think Dave's bluffing. He's clearly Obama's VP choice. - Louis Gray
If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve! - Dave Winer
My mother, writing about the impact and clean-up of the Iowa floods. I'll be covering the story from Cedar Rapids starting this evening. - Dan Patterson
Wonder how iTunes feels about this. Previously, I was happy to spend $10/month for content and brands that I felt bettered my life. Now, though I'm still paying for it via advertising, I can get those products at a reduced 'price.' I'm excited about this, and hope it sets a trend. - Dan Patterson
That's strange because I've gotten maybe 20 tweets on my Twitter page this morning. Not so stable? - chelpixie
I'm seeing all the tweets I think I should be getting. If there was a way to have Friendfeed import all 500 people I follow on Twitter, I'd switch, but it'd be a real chore finding them all manually, since I don't have email addresses for all of them. - Rob Usdin
I'm simply putting Twitter aside until later. Much to do in the mean time. - Ed Roberts via twhirl
rob is 100% correct. If I could only move all my friends to friendfeed. - David Jacobs
I agree with Rob (and, I think, your sentiment): It's NOT about the Twitter, it's about the people. Twitter should learn this asap; I don't particularly care about the network, I care about the people I connect with. One of the first rules of advertising is that it's NEVER about you and your product, it's about the needs of your customer. - Dan Patterson
I love Twitter's interface and using Twirl makes my experience with it perfect. I'm not calling for a mass move but I really don't want to lose touch with people that I've met on Twitter because they can't get their act together. Friendfeed is giving me too much information. Twitter is overwhelming sometimes, sure, but Friendfeed intensifies that for me. It's not short bits, it's my friends entire social network (or what others choose to share of theirs) streaming through my day. - chelpixie
Yes. We must have faith. Thusly the inclusion of Jeebus. In fact, Doc and I interviewed him a few years ago - I'll try to find the link. - Dan Patterson
I find his interviewing style very cryptic. All those parables. - Sarah Vela
I can't support that Hilary Clinton : she's a looser : i really don't appreciate her! - Vraiment
I don't think at this point that Hillary can stay in the race without looking like a fool. Her comments about the assassination really just put her over the edge of losing my respect. - chelpixie
I'm no Obama fanatic, and I don't HATE Hillary. However, I've been pretty disappointed by the rhetoric she and her staffers have espoused regarding this Kennedy assassination 'scandal.' Their defensive attitude has demonstrated how little the campaign has learned during the process, and shows just how arrogant they are. Very disappointing. - Dan Patterson
The silver lining: we shouldn't have to worry about Hillary being the VP anymore. - exador23
I don't support Obama, but I can't imagine a situation in the world that would get me to vote Billary in '08. The last thing we need is another carpet-bagging, fear mongering professional politician in the white house. Obama will most likely not get my vote either, at this point I'm leaning towards Bob Barr the LP candidate. - Greg Hollingsworth
I asked this on Twitter, but curious to know what you all think: Presuming Obama is the nominee, where does Hillary fit in? I'm clueless. I can see Biden as Secretary of State, and Richardson as VP - but still no idea about Clinton. Thoughts? - Dan Patterson
I think her campaign style of assassination politics & exploitation of divisions will preclude any significant role, but Obama is shrewd - anything can happen. If anything, SecHealth or Labor makes sense. I would like to see a Libertarian leaning VP to offset knee-jerk old-school big government solutions to the issues Obama is focusing on. Hoping for Hagel as SecState - am I naive? - exador23
should she? yes. will she? no. *shrug* It will make for a more interesting convention in August. ;) - Sarah Vela
Ubercaster sounds pretty sweet. You know that I'm down for the show no matter how you want to produce it. S'all good, as long as I am in a place where I can call in. - Greg Hollingsworth
Thus far, I've really enjoyed Ubercaster. I agree with your sentiment that it would help bring back the vibe of 'live' shows. I don't miss doing FM radio, but I do really miss sitting around a studio, lights low, monitor loud. - Dan Patterson
I think there are a few custom Google search strings, but am not really sure. - Dan Patterson
cool. wish I had more time to explore today. This is getting closer to my dream of near-instantaneously forming/swarming of social networks of people thinking about similar issues at the same time - in addition to one's consistent social network, which takes a lot more effort. - exador23
I describe Twitter as a web-based app that's somewhere between a blog and a public instant messenger client. (Blog can also be anything contextually relevant to the person I'm talking to, myspacer, etc). It's public with some private messaging abilities. We converse to our buddy list in the public view. In response to those that don't use it like that (and use it as designed: a status poster) I simply compare it to the status or mood message that's part of many IM programs. - Eric Rice
I tend to steer clear of 'chat room' only cuz of old-school 'seedy' implications. IMs are much more normal and acceptable. Anyway, I've had a higher level of success wrt: comprehension of it. People who might not 'get' it are generally not interested in interacting with the world, one of the most annoying assumptions in social media, that everyone *wants* to be social. Hence my year long prediction on the rise of anti-social media. - Eric Rice
When I explain it I try to make it relevant to the listener in their terms. So for example, like CB radio, you can ask for information from many listening and many may answer. Or like a mailing list, many people choosing to participate in multithreaded conversations. - Shamir Katsu
Not having time for this kinda thing is the same as not having time for a social life. "I'm too busy to talk" scales between lots of people and one-on-one. In fact, the more people, the more work. Just like at parties. Ever blow off a party cuz you just aren't in the mood to deal with it? Kinda like that. Besides, sometimes we want to meet someone and talk offline. Share wisdom in private w/o the peanut gallery. - Eric Rice
How I describe Twitter depends a lot on who I'm talking to. However, when talking to GenX/Yers, I'll often describe watching Twitter as similar to watching your minifeed in Facebook, but with conversation/interaction. Generally young(ish) people get that. - Dan Patterson
I try to go for it in terms of facebook: status update + wall + link list. Also general junk drawer for your brain, way to interact with incredibly interesting people on a low-key way, being in California at the beginning of the Gold Rush panning for goodies. - Cat Laine
Interesting conversation on WNYC this evening regarding oil prices. I'm pretty sure they used the phrase "super-surge" regarding an alleged impending spike in price. - Dan Patterson
