I'm definitely interested in the idea of "passive income streams", particularly involving writing (blogging and so forth). Damon - can you give some examples of what you mean? (And subscribe to me so I can DM you :)

Andy - probably about 10 hours per week, maybe closer to 8. I can do some things to increase that number if the investment is worthwhile.
- Brett Kelly
What sort of returns do you expect to get out of those hours? And when do you need to see it? Passive income could mean months of $0 returns (many of them if a string of ideas prove unsuccessful), consulting could mean 60-80% of those hours are billable immediately but stop when you do.

I think it _used_ to be the default setting. Which would include a distinct set of long-time twitter users with a large audience.

Here's the article from last May from Ev where he is explaining "How replies work" and he mentions the 98% number (the number of people who have the default setting). - http://blog.twitter.com/2008... My friend @manton (a *very* early Twitter user) has definitely told me before that All Replies used to be the default behavior, but I don't know when it was changed.

Damon, thanks for the reference - much appreciated!
- Damon Cortesi
oh you're welcome. In just re-reading that post, Ev does say that All Replies used to be the default because there was no notion of replies at the beginning. that part evolved.

I'm having such problems with Twitter tonight. And I keep getting logged out and asked for my Twitter log in information when I'm visiting people's blog. Weird.
Make sure it's the real Twitter site in the address bar, lots of phishers around recently, sites look identical.

The widget thing on external blogs is especially annoying. I decided to try out the FriendFeed feed widget for the first time. Since it includes so many other things that I'm doing, maybe it'll stay?

Friendfeed gets the XMPP feed (aka "the firehose" feed), however so does Summize and even they are missing tweets sometimes. I've seen it with http://snaptweet.com/ where pics will get Twitter'd but they never show up in a summize search. Not that they are integrated yet, but Twitter now owns Summize, so you'd think they'd be giving them the absolute BEST feed there is, currently. |...

FriendFeed is cool though. They definitely have almost everything of the recent stuff. Haven't looked into their APIs.
