“I would be willing to pay for tracking if you would just bring it back. :( Offer some of this stuff as paid service options or something. I'd pay a yearly amount or a small fee (couple bucks) monthly if it would mean those services would be consistently available.”

“I hate what I just did. I've just chucked someone out of the room for repeatedly posting things that didn't belong here. I've tried to be subtle, but it didn't seem to be translating. I just thought I should be as transparent as possible about this. I've only done it once.”

Man, do people get sent to sit by the bathroom and public writeboard as punishment? - Stepan Mazurov

I brought a t-shirt to change into after biking to work, but I didn't bother. I might have made a different choice if I'd known it would be blogged... :-) - Kevin Fox

@Kevin: You match the rug and lamp so it's working. :) - Tsega Dinka

Awesome window into FF Bret. Really like the transparency and willingness to speak openly with the community and those who are critical of FF. Enjoyed that Qik inteview by what's his name... - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

hah! looks like you guys are gonna need more space soon :-) - tracy apps via twhirl

The code isn't a kernel panic. You can see the blue bar at the top showing it's a window. Looks like a cool place to work. - possible248

I wish my office looked more like that instead of a cubical farm - Josh Smith

You can probably tell someone is a marketer, if their very first tweet isn't about what they had for lunch. - Brooks Bishop

Didn't @jowyang try to start that conversation last November? The key, as I commented then, is that you can't market to people unless they follow you and there are few if any brands that I'll follow. - Barry Graubart via twhirl

Worse still are those accounts that seem to spam out to every member "Hey, like what you're doing, let's follow each other." Seriously, is there some sort of botware out there enabling this behavior? - Marc Vermut via twhirl

Well, this isn't really all that exciting. Either way, someone on Twitter is promoting something. Whether it be a new blog post or an ebook...it's the same thing. Plus, you gotta follow them first. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

This is what the block feature is for. I never get any spam from Internet Marketers and only follow the people I want to follow. I see no problem with this. - Chris Rodgers via twhirl

I was reading newsweek today while bored at the gym and was shocked to see an article on it and tumblr (unrelated but still :p) - BCK

Besides, if an Internet Marketer is good at what he does, you won't even notice him prospecting you >:) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

*groan* tis the lifestyle of many a web 2.0 service - awesome community forms... then the spammers start piling in. - Jason Kaneshiro

no, too clunky - Anthony Farrior

Unusable :) Inaccessible, I hate sites made this way - directeur

No. - Mike Reynolds

There's just so much time in a day, you know? - Tom Landini

There's so many things to do, too :) - directeur

nah; too few of the people I follow use it, the UI makes it kind of difficult to follow the ones that are there. - Evan Sims

just not enough going on and yet at the same time, too busy looking - edythe

that was my issue from start. Think it is gimmicky. Will wear off. Hard to follow - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy

i haven't signed up to see how it works but from what i see it looks too busy for me. i hate to say it (but, i have to) but, it's almost like an extended version of Twitter to my eyes. to answer the question at hand: i doubt i would use it daily. - Outsanity

I have to play with it more but I kind of doubt it. No specific reason why other than perhaps I prefer the layout of FF and if I've got an extra 3 hours to spend I find this more enjoyable than Plurk. But who knows, I've got to play with it more. - Thomas Hawk

Nooooooooooooo FAIL! - Susan Beebe

with a twhril like client side tool it might be interesting. - Sean Reiser

Regardless, I think it just rose to become the Twitter alternative. So expect more news about plurk as time passes. I think the interface'll improve, but nothing's gonna beat Twitter. Hell, I'm not even sure Twitter'll go mainstream. - Ben Parr

@Ben i feel it's basically Twitter but all fancy like - Outsanity

Scoble says to check out the mobile version, supposedly much more usable? Will have to try it. - Joel Gray

<sarcasm>Amen</sarcasm> - directeur

Interesting presentation but usability could be a prob for frequent use. Too early for the market - Akshay Dodeja

I just went and looked at the "Interesting Plurkers" link. Make the bad web stop! *cries* - Yolanda

I've noticed that the same interesting people I follow here are less interesting on plurk. EG. More of the "i'm brushing my teeth" or "i'm having a sandwich" than anything with substance. Maybe that will change with more friends, but i'm finding it very hard to make friends there without a public stream or search. - Doug Brooks

Nah. - Aaron Myers

I seem to be a minority, which is nothing new here, but I do love Plurk - It's so fun, seriously... I'm sad that so many of you are not even interested... But that will make it less likely to crash like Twitter, which is good for those of us who do prefer it over Twitter! :) YAY!! - Paula Hawk

I signed up today... looks ok :) - Larry via twhirl

just signed up - the timeline bit at the top jacks with vertical scrolling, which I find annoying. Again, if it's going to replace twitter, it needs to get twitter's userbase :) - Brett Kelly

I don't thnk its twitter replacement- just a toy for a while I think - Crystal Clear via Alert Thingy

that's probably a very fair assessment :) - Brett Kelly

I think it's very slick. IM works. Just needs an API and some disgruntled Twitter devs. Wonder if there are any of those lying around? - Leo Laporte

You did a great job Scoble. I am not convinced the air is cleared but nice of them to say it was not due to you. - Jeff B

Nice job Robert. I look forward to the follow up video where they discuss how they solved the problem and explain their lessons learned. Good stuff. - Michael Carter

This was the first video that I watched on qik and it was the most painful experience of my day. Is it always this slow, buffering for 20 seconds every 20 seconds. My internet is working just fine, in case that was your first thought, like it was mine. - Tim Wright
