It has a lot of potential. I think it will be a lot more valuable when there are people using it that we know and it is more than random threads we may or may not be interested in. - Brian Sloane

I am still waiting on an invite. It could make terrific groupware. Wave has the potential to be disruptive in the collaboration space. But.. without a userbase and a use... it is nothing but a fancy demo. - Dave Senior

I would love to see Facebook (or another NEW social network) integrate with Wave. I think it could really change how people interact on the net. But for that to happen, someone's really going to have to bet big and I don't see that happening yet. - patrick

As mentioned by others - definitely needs a critical mass of users to be interacting to test it's usefulness. SO Leo - how about one of those precious invites Please :) - Matt Dell

All I have is a sandbox but you are more than welcome to come play in it. - Richard Bitting

You invite me, that's what you do. - David Sheneman

Hop in the sandbox, Leo! - Garmon Estes

i've had one for a couple months. don't know what to do with it - andy brudtkuhl

I filled out my "sandbox approval application" where I (supposedly) just pick my username and should have my account ready to go in moments but never received any information from Google. I even e-mail whoever I could find with regards to Wave support and never heard back from them. It was very disappointing. - Brandon Blattner

Raptors Digest » Blog Archive » Marc Iavaroni is coming to town - http://www.raptorsdigest.com/2009...

August 31 from Bookmarklet - Comment - Like - Share

"One of the more intriguing additions to the Raptors won’t even be putting on an uniform. Marc Iavaroni will be joining Jay Triano’s coaching staff as a lead-assistant. Marc spent the better part of the last two season as the head coach of the rebuilding Grizzlies, winning a total of 33 games in his 123 game tenure. Those numbers would scare anyone, but not so fast, Marc’s resume does not end there. Before Memphis, Iavaroni was the lead-assistant in the up-tempo Phoenix Suns locker room, backing up Mike D’Antoni and playing an instrumental role in constructing one of the most exciting offensive schemes ever devised in the NBA. We at RaptorsDigest really have to wonder what Iavaroni will bring to this new look offensive squad." - Dave Senior from Bookmarklet

Oh, I can't wait to hear how this shakes out... - Travis Tasset

With any luck FB will rework the UI to make it more friendly and it can gain some market - James

Absolutely. Great deal all around. Congrats to everyone involved. - Tom Guarriello

If Facebook uses the FriendFeed interface, then I would agree it is a great idea. - Rob Diana

I'm hoping for better, faster feature development. - Jeff Harbert

yes, definitely win-win - Wolfgang Heinrich

huge win for both companies ?? is it a win for the FF community ?? who comes first ?? the business or the users ?? I bet you within 6 months, I wont be using FF as much as I use it now !! - Peter Dawson

i agree - facebook has been getting on my good list this past year and I just love friendfeed. - Chris Jackson

Just as I re-dedicate myself to using FF, FB acquires them. If FB can integrate FF's deep feature set, it would be a win-win-win. - Jim Duncan

True or false: Facebook needs FriendFeed more than FriendFeed needs Facebook. - Joel Zehring

I'm excited too, but at the same time I'm afraid facebook may make some wrong moves with their acquisition. We've seen this happen before. - Steven (optionshiftk)

this is not a good day for Twitter.... - Giorgio

I fully expect to just see FriendFeed as a separate entity to go away with its technology being absorbed by Facebook. - Mike Flynn

Very True. - Steven (optionshiftk)

Joel: Absolutely true. - Adam Reyher

I caught Robert's reaction to the news on my iPhone: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Robert J Taylor from iPhone

If this makes it so I have one LESS place to go to follow my social media, then it will be great. I already have too many different places with different people and different conversations for differ purposes that overlap and make it unnecessarily complicated. - David Rondeau

FF > FB? not great, actually. diversity is better than monopoly. and i'm concerned about aggregation features getting deprecated (in the name of progress and chrossing the chasm and all that jazz.. of course ;) - jacek

This is a IP, technology and talent grab.. I don't see the 2 sites being consolidated - Dave Senior

It may be a big win for both companies but is likely a big lose for FF users. - Brian Sullivan

FriendFeed functionality on Facebook would be nice. The reverse, not so much. They're trying to address two entirely separate purposes and as such, need to remain completely separate. - Adam Reyher

I hope Facebook turns into FriendFeed. That would be great! - Wo

I'd really love to see the real-time threaded conversation feature of friendfeed be adopted by facebook. - Steven (optionshiftk)

Looking forward to your analysis Robert - Ken Seto

I can see development of FF slowing down as the team brings the tech over to Facebook - Dave Senior

Indeed, Brian. FF devotees should be pissed over this. I can't believe Facebook will do anything but carve out a few choice pieces of FF meat - likely making them even more Twitterish - and dump the rest. FF will be gone within six months. - Shéa Bennett

This is a huge win for both companies, and a huge fail for every net surfer. - TiTi

yeah it may not be that bad. maybe i'm exaggerating. - Edgar Rodríguez

Well, I think the FF team can certainly help the Facebook UI. But, all I take away from this is FF going away. - Yolanda

One thing to consider is this: If we have "trusted" the FriendFeed people not to screw things up, hopefully we can trust them to make sure they're still in control in the terms of the acquisition. - Adam Reyher

Yes, Robert. Like TiTi said, huge win for both companies, huge fail for the people who like FriendFeed. "Welcome to FaceFeed! Would you like to take a quiz?" - Zach Flauaus

I think this is definitely a huge win for both but maybe not for the users. I think it could be good or bad for users but I hope that Facebook will allow FriendFeed to continue and push the envelope with emerging technologies. I imagine this is Facebook and FriendFeed teaming up against Twitter. - Brandon Titus

.-( Good for Friendfeed, but horrible for people that like friendfeed and hate facebook &their UI or where FB is blocked - Del_

may be - Ahmet Soyata

It's good timing. FF uniques fell almost 10% in July. - Shéa Bennett

this is bad news for twitter, me thinks. - Brian Ries

Absolutely, Robert. Its a very good tech acquisition for Facebook, they get a great team with a well developed technology stack. It lets the FriendFeed founders get a good, early exit. - DGentry

I hope so. I know my initial reaction was not as negative as most of the others I'm seeing in my stream. Maybe I'm just being naive. - Herb Hernandez

Hopefully this means the power of friendfeed will be utilized. Awesome news - Marcus

This is why I follow Mr. Scoble, yes that is Mr. Scoble :) always has his fingers in the breaking news. - dennis podgorski

I'm fired up about this union between FriendFeed and Facebook. With the exception of my social media group, I've used FriendFeed primarily as an aggregator--despite it's being my favorite GUI and functionality. I think this is going to bring the substance to FriendFeed that it's been missing. Very exciting! - Jim W

I have a hard time drawing my line of Public v Personal. I use Twitter & FriendFeed for public use and I use Facebook for private use. I have not even once made a status update on Facebook. I am not sure I want FriendFeed on Facebook. I am intrigued about the possibilities of integration but I am not sure I will adopt. - thestaticfrost

The power of FF will be used -- but it won't be pretty and won't be for good. - Brian Sullivan

I have to agree with Robert on this. I think this is likely to be a great deal moving forward. I'm excited about it, and happy for the FriendFeed crew. They've done an AWESOME job. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I am not as excited about this. I don^t like Facebook as much - nchenga

i think this is going to add more value to Facebook - Lee Kent

concur robert - mike "glemak" dunn

It certainly makes sense, and I agree that it adds value to FF. I wonder how many of the 250 million users of FF will be using it in its current form. - courtney benson

Just surprised this didn't happen earlier. Facebook has been mimicking FriendFeed's functionality for a while now. Nice that FF is finally getting paid for their R&D efforts. - Aaron Strout

I think this will make me drop friendfeed or facebook - Nicolai Rygh

Please explain - this may be win for Friendfeed - but as far as us the users/fans... we're the big losers in this right? I really really can't stand Facebook :-( Help us have hope... - Jannifer @wordsforliving

ruination. - Joe Silence is not Santa

I will wait and see approach @ all - polou/indigo_bow

here is the explanation, FF have t sell the soonerr, better then laterr, they choose the right momment, wave is there and it is a big promise - abdellah

when Google start wave, they surely shown their non desire to acquir FF it was implicite - abdellah

All Your Feeds Are Belong To Us - Ian Tindale

I'm hoping for the best. - Jim Connolly

The idea here is growing on me. I see the business case...I'm still not sure as to the impact on Twitter and different users who prefer one tool over another and/or use the two differently. - Derek Shanahan

I'm trying to defer my pessimism...but I feel an "I Want Sandy"-type fail in the wings. As for FF needing to sell, that wasn't the case; the founders had the money to keep it going for as long as they wanted, basically. We'll see, I suppose. We'll see. - Ken Kennedy

This is really interesting. This will bring a bigger pool of social media services to people. As it is now, regular folks don't venture further than Facebook, with this acquisition, many will realize that there is a plethora of great other services and social media websites that they can engage in. - Rami Taibah

Ya know when you get a bad feeling about something - I have one about this deal. Can't put my finger on it, but it don't feel right. - Jim Connolly

FriendFeed now to get BIGGER than Twitter? - Jim Connolly

"when Google start wave, they surely shown their non desire to acquir FF it was implicite" - I think that probably covers it. - John Craft

Isn't this the kind of daring move that Yahoo should have made? - Andrew Warner

Seems like a HUGE win for Facebook. Not so sure for the future of FF, though. - Chris Wood

is there a dislike button anywhere? I did exactly the opposite FB never appealed, FF rocked... - Valeria Maltoni

FriendFeed will not be the same place, in terms of the community, but this keeps friendfeed around for a while. Awesome! Where's Arrington? Did he reopen his account? - Benjamin Taylor

Whatever FB and FF does, don't tell Oprah... That's a sign it's over.. - Timothy Latz

FF isn't blocked at work, FB is. FF usefulness would nose-dive for me if blocked. - Brett Veenstra

Brett: this is likely to pave the way for more client applications for Facebook, which will not be blocked at work. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Hmm… I may just be more active in FriendFeed. - Evan Hindra

The above is an actual DM spam I got today. :) - Louis Gray

Leon: if you abuse SEO types they send Google Hate your way, which, by the way, is the same thing as Google Juice. - Robert Scoble

neat idea! - Aloke Fernandes

So we get to be in the cool club? Yay! ;) - Vicky Teinaki

I just noticed that Scobleizer unfollowed but am glad it was for the above reason and he unfollowed a lot - Allen MacCannell

Cannot wait to see you (again) at Gnomedex after that sensational news panel at #140conf. You set the bar high for yourself there ;) - Maya

I am all flesh and bones Robert :D - Antonio Montero

Rob: FriendFeed is better. - Robert Scoble

Louis, NOW I know where all those are coming from. Time to blacklist you ;-) - Jesse Stay

Friendfeed FTW! - TheHenry

Why would you want to follow me,i have nothing to offer but my ears to learn. - Paul Downing

Not a bad filter at all. - Robert Anderson

Hi Robert, I'm a real person and would love to be followed. - Steve de Mena

What if the spammers, SEO experts, the bots, or the social media experts all comment here? - Andrew Trinh

Word up - Charlie Haims

Scoble smash Twitter spammer like Hulk! - Peter Hodges from iPhone

Dare I? - Spidra Webster

and then I will comment on whoever follows me here... - Alpay Erturkmen

Louis, I recently got the "high five" DM spam, too. So off-putting! - Robert J Taylor from iPhone

I just need to spend more time setting up FF so it is my friend that intercepts all my social media content but only from who I want to read! - Pentaxfan

Friend feed seems like mainstream to most serious ones? - jibzy

Friendfeed has it's strengths once you get it setup - Chris

@robert whether or not FF is technically better than <insertsocialnetwork> its really a question of said network reach - Sean Scott

Once a week I go through my followers and delete most/all of the spammers, but I only have like 50-60 so it's not hard to do. - Allison Warnock

Let's hope the spammers and bots and etc don't attack us here on FriendFeed next. I won't tell them if you don't. - Louis Trapani from iPhone

Sean: well, FF has better search, grouping, real time, a better community, and more. - Robert Scoble

Sean, you have to start somewhere! - Pentaxfan

Really Robert? Will you follow me here or Twitter - Kevin Krewell

Last time I checked I was human. - Luke™

What, even if I've got these hot videos where I ... Haha, not really ;-) - Katie Dob from iPod

Kevin: here. - Robert Scoble

I think you're already following me. - Danny Minick

In two years on Twitter I have never used any bots nor even tried to sell anything. I always look at profiles personally before following anyone and have never been concerned with how many are following me. - Gord Young

That's nice of you. - Michael Owens from iPhone

Why? - Stefano Maggi from iPhone

Yea, i dont want FF to get has "known" has twitter, I'm selfish - Fee501st

Mainly on Twitter myself, but everything updates to here + I tie in a couple things through here to Twitter. - Chris

Will you actually read my posts? - Kimber Scott

oh really :D - Sinem Co

See, cross posting that offer to Twitter is misleading - Kevin Krewell

It is fun to watch my follower ## on Twitter go between 200 and 230 it is a constant battle to see what I post. Just not that interesting at times! - Pentaxfan

Interesting project! Please follow us @streamfile :) - Kimmo Gläborg

Checking in here...hope we continue to follow each other, Robert! - Cathryn Hrudicka

Even if we write in Turkish? - Emre Güneş

@robert again not arguing with you. I think better community in your POV but from marketing / UX pov not yet. - Sean Scott

thank you - - pat o'bryan

I'm pretty sure I've commented here before Robert, but you don't follow me here or on Twitter. Not that I want you to under just for the sake of it... - Gurpreet

Today's secret password is "cheese". - Andrew Smith

And you don't have to read everything we say, my God we can't keep up with your feed! But it's nice to always be assured there will be something in my Friendfeed from Scoble. And more Scoble and more Scoble! - Keith Rowland

...only if you actually find my tweets interesting enough. - Gurpreet

It's Unfollow Sunday. Just purged all the bots, spammers, SEO/social media types from my own Twitter account. I never autofollow. Still got the "high five" DM spam, though... - Dennis Jernberg

Nice when you integrate Facebook and twitter and multiple accounts so you can read all at one place. I have to say I use Seesmic to read posts more than FF. - Pentaxfan

bit bucket... here i come :) ps: scoble, what if we just "like" your post ;) - simran

Count me in too, please :) - 1x29

@pentaxfan of course. not wanting to start a FF vs Twitter debate. just saying the glasses through which we judge better or superior are diff based on our interests. Plus in the end FB will take it all :P - Sean Scott

This is a sly way to get us to sign up for FF :) - valb00

Shhhhhhhhhh - candy from Nambu

@valb00 said it! - Dennis Jernberg

According to my following list, Scoble was the second person I followed after joining Twitter. A long time ago that was. - Stephen Sclafani

UX tip for FF. Be nice to be able to click on the comment link at the end of a comment stream. Having to scroll back up on these long threads breaks flow. - Sean Scott

Kimber: wait and watch http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... and see if I like any of your posts. I read a LOT and if you are posting interesting stuff I'll probably like it. - Robert Scoble

Sean: click twice on the time stamp and you'll get a window of just this chat and you'll see a comment entry area at the bottom. - Robert Scoble

Kurt: maybe! - Robert Scoble

Sean Scott: Click on the timeline (the '5 minutes ago' bit) :) - 1x29

You will end up following me anyway. They all will. :) - Matt G

But you're already following me here on Friendfeed, Robert. How is Twitter going to be different? - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

FriendFeed is better, deeper, yet Twitter works better on the go - Majento

There's a lot to like about FF, except it needs a bigger community. Twitter is like the iPhone - for iPhone it's all the applications, with Twitter (and Facebook) it's all about the number of poeple. - Kevin Krewell

following me is good stuff :-) - N.G. Gordon - RadarSync

@Sean, that is why we are always looking for new and improved apps to operate at a better level with more consistency. Take it easy! I'm off to bed for my 5 hours of mediocre horizontal time out. - Pentaxfan

Hi Robert, you are obviously going to be following a lot more people. Thanks. - Rob Zachritz

And I return. (Just cleared my account so I can start afresh with friend lists) :) - BeauGiles

Is this an experiment? - Theresa Shin

so will you follow me too - aybars badur

Theresa: no, I do this from time to time and always find interesting people to follow. - Robert Scoble

FF hmmm about that... - Philip Small

Robert, you have lost a lot of followers. I have been watching all night. - TheHenry

I don't get the appeal of auto-following. I for one would not want thousands of updates showing up in my timeline. - Alex Knight

Twitter -ly ♪ and FriendFeed -ly ♪ livin' in perfect har-mony ♪♪♪ LOL Why can't we be friends ♪♪♪ - RetiredTeacherD

Just created a corporate FF account so you can follow our corporate Twitter at http:/www.twitter.com/senderok - Plug-in with anti-phishing icons for the inbox and photo business cards in the header pane - SenderOK

I'm here I'm here! :D just curious, what do you have against SEO and Social Media experts? - Celia

Really? BTW I'm just a regular geeky gal. - Teresa O

TheHenry: and I will lose even more this week. No biggie. I don't define myself by who follows me, especially if they are there just to get a follow back. - Robert Scoble

@Scobleizer is a man of his word - Charlie Haims

Zomg you has to follows me!! I r teh most important persons here!!! - Tom Vohs from iPod

Okay Scoble I'll bite... - SalvadorM

Joining the experiment - Jan Schultink

robert, you are a "pearl" under all the blogger,.........and i'm sure, you know that!!! sunshine and light to you from france, martin - martin

I'm awake and listening! - Graham Lawrence

To all those new to FriendFeed, remember to add your Twitter, blog, Flickr, YouTube, and other accounts so we can see all your stuff! - Robert Scoble

...and I was wondering where is my one-lost-follower...here on FF. - Danica Radovanovic

hello, I am an italian SEO expert :) - Roldano De Persio of FF

I have nothing to say - Paul Denlinger

@Paul, I was going to say that. - Justin Yost

You should follow a game designer, Robert :) - Kurai (ff)

Wait, does this mean I need to spend more time of friendfeed? - Shea from iPhone

Federico: I'm already following you. Roldano: I'm already following you too, but don't let it get out. - Robert Scoble

Shea: yes. This is where I spend most of my time! - Robert Scoble

That's encouraging - Keith - @tsudo

I cannot recommend following me, I rarely have anything interesting to say. - Shaun William

What's the catch? - Rory Conway

We're already facebook friends. And I think friendfeed friends too. But FF just hasn't hit critical mass yet. It'll be cool when it does. Nice job throwing another rock at the hornet's nest! :-) - Dan Becker

I'm glad to know that you are still interested in hearing from us :), I'm @tsudo - Keith - @tsudo

Rory: the catch is I might like one of your posts and then you'll have to deal with my other friends. :-) - Robert Scoble

scoble i like you man, but you're crazy - patrick

I applaud your mass unfollowing, but following back via FriendFeed comments seems inefficient (says me, the efficiency consultant). - Marina Martin

Dan: well, that's what Twitter gets for treating me like a lame early adopter that isn't needed anymore. - Robert Scoble

Cool - I'm in. Thanks Robert - from the land down under. - Monte Huebsch

Marina: you haven't discovered that FriendFeed has groups yet, have you? - Robert Scoble

patrick: crazy like a bat! - Robert Scoble

I need to better utilize FF groups. - Justin Yost

Ouch Robert! Telling it like it is to Twitter - Keith - @tsudo

Do you never get SPAM in FF? - RobinDotNet

You might regret that :-) But thank you - Stephen Baugh

Hi, i had created a new website name http://bit.ly/Od5Xx now please guide me in increasing traffic - mohammadhassam

Robin: I have only seen a handful of spams here. They are easily blocked and there are other defenses against them that I won't talk about here. - Robert Scoble

Are we not allowed to comment if you are already following us? - RobinDotNet

Are all those SEO types you're unfollowing now following me?! - Dennis Jernberg

@Justin, try this for a starting point for using groups http://www.knowthenetwork.com/blog... - Keith - @tsudo

Okay )) - Manila Envelope

Yet another comment, from an ordinary twitterer not a spambot. :-) - Joshua Lee

is this a bait to get more people to use friendfeed? ;-) - Ritu

Robin: I like all comments. I can see who isn't following me because their icons are white. Yours is blue. - Robert Scoble

speaking of spam, twitter seems like it's about 90% spam lately - Derek Chilcoat

Robert -- that's good to know. Those people are insidious. Will you ever tell us how to block them? - RobinDotNet

It'll be interesting to see who follows the leader to @schoolpr. - SchoolPR

The SEO experts, bots and social media experts don't have good content, and FF makes their crappy content easy to hide, and ignore, too. - Andy Bakun

Thanks @Keith - Justin Yost

Andy: bing! - Robert Scoble

Robert, was that an endorsement of bing? ;-) - RobinDotNet

SEO experts endorse bing. ;-) - Joshua Lee

@Justin (1 more) my friend Ken did a great post on groups as well http://www.changeforge.com/2008... - Keith - @tsudo

Why, oh why is my first thought to respond with "FIRST?" - Jon, the Chilled Beartato

I'm not a bot :-) - Nir Ben Yona

Jon: I want to respond with "penultimate." :-) - Robert Scoble

Even me??? - Kevin Arth

Can't imagine this won't end in a big mess... - Justin Howard

Nir: I know you aren't a bot. That's why I follow you. - Robert Scoble

wwooww :) - Emre BAHADIR

So far not a spammer has shown up. - Robert Scoble

commented! - Jeremy Lane

I think scoble is on Twitter just to get people to read friendfeed. :-) - Joshua Lee

Joshua: no. I'm here to talk about the 2010 web. :-) - Robert Scoble

This is some elaborate mind game, I'm sure:) - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Can we put some restriction on bots . means use some software who block them - mohammadhassam

Joshua, i liked your Bing comment :-) - Majento

and the 2010 web is.... friendfeed! - Joshua Lee

Thank you, Sir. I'm impressed. :) - Kevin Arth

Ah, I think you may already be following me, but just in case... - Ranger Craig

Joshua: the real time web is only one part of the 2010 web. - Robert Scoble

Nice - Fred Morales

Thing I don't like is that FF doesn't have a very good topic when the primary line is directed at twitter. There may or may not be a link to something after FF part. Which means FF becomes a bit of a treasure hunt. I like FF for commentary but I hate the initial post. - Justin Howard

SPAM. :) - Jason

BACON :-) - Stephane Tsacas

Even your archnemesis? - Erik K Veland

Mona :-) - Majento

Mmmmm. Bacon. - RobinDotNet

Erik: I would even follow Mike Arrington, yes. :-) - Robert Scoble

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer? - RobinDotNet

what are some other examples of 2010 web, Robert Scoble? - Joshua Lee

Ok Robert I got it ;) - Roldano De Persio of FF

Count me in :) http://www.twitter.com/stanley... - Stanley Tang

Robert: Thanks mate, interesting and probably efficient idea. I'll do the same for quality content, tired of those "I just used whateveryoucallit.com to gain 300 new followers right now!". - Nir Ben Yona

whateveryoucallit.com domain name is already taken :-] - Stephane Tsacas

Hi Robert, I had to do the exact same thing to nail all the twit spam I was getting. Hope you get it all sorted! - James Brown

Even as we sit here, my iPhone dings with new follow e-mails from spam/marketing people. Sigh. - RobinDotNet

Stephane: LOL, probably. I took this line from Chris Brogan's "Twitter Etiquette Guide". - Nir Ben Yona

Robin: on Twitter, though, right? - Robert Scoble

wow been fascinating watching this exercise :-) - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)

So this is like a captcha? - Dylan Verheul

also on twitter? - Sinem Co

The joys of not being internet famous means I can check out followers personally, block where required and I've only ever got about 2 DM spam. But with the volumes that Robert gets, it's obviously not possible. - Rachel Clarke

TwitterEtiquetteGuide.com is available ;-) - Stephane Tsacas

I think Twitter needs something like captcha to keep the bots to a minimum, IMHO. - Dennis Jernberg

Nope, I'm just following here. - Robert Scoble

But feed your Tweets in here and what's the difference? - Robert Scoble

OK, thanks :) - Sinem Co

Hi Robert, I've been following you quite some time, and what you do here is very open and brave too, congrats! - Kaan Bingol

This must be a plot to move everyone to FriendFeed ;-) - Masatake E. Hori

Masatake: plot #458. - Robert Scoble

Great thanks for the offer and follow - Stephen Brown

Masatake: I think you're right. :-) - Joshua Lee

Robert -- yes, on twitter. It seems the more you tweet, and the more people you communicate with, the more spammers follow you. Hoping for auto-follows I guess (I disappoint them in that regard.) - RobinDotNet

No offense, but what is the utility of being "followed" by someone who already follows tens of thousands? - Derek Pangallo

Good way to filter, you know the spammers don't actually read anything or participate - Justin Luey

Derek: why don't you see http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... and see just how many people I touch. - Robert Scoble

What is the utility of being "followed" by someone who doesn't tweet and who follows thousands? What do they do, sit at their terminal and watch the tweets go by all day long? - RobinDotNet

hi Robert u r already following me how r u? - Gaith

I dont get it. - Andru Edwards

yeah? I think most spam bots have the AI to search for such threads! - Rohit

Derek: or how many people I interact with. Check here: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... 28,000+ comments. - Robert Scoble

oh, hi there! - Jeremy

Gaith: doing fine, gotta work on my videos, but thought I'd do this instead. - Robert Scoble

Robin: I'm guessing the mass followers rarely take a look at the flow - it's about being able to talk about the numbers - Rachel Clarke

No - Michael Fidler

Yes - Michael Fidler

follow me on twitter please... - Özgür D. Cyric

First day on Friend Feed and Robert Scoble is available. What a welcome.... Carey@holisticdds - Carey O'Rielly

What will you do when the spammers/SEOs infest Friendfeed, as they will, or do you believe this is better crowdsourced and will be able to hold against the hordes? - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Rachel -- But numbers alone don't mean anything. Are they that shallow? That must be a stupid question. - RobinDotNet

Is this going to be the 'most-commented-ever' post on Friendfeed? 240+ already! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Aaman: FriendFeed is FAR more defendable against spam than Twitter is. - Robert Scoble

and how would this benefit people who follow Robert Scoble? - Seyfi Erol

Mahendra: probably not. - Robert Scoble

That seems like a good idea, but I think you're already following a lot of these people - Carlton Prest

Seyfi: why don't you follow me and see how it goes? - Robert Scoble

I've gotten 4 follow e-mails since my first post here from people I don't want to follow. Do the bots start running right around midnight? - RobinDotNet

Mahendra, you're not following the threads in Russian (that's my only hint) :D - Micah Wittman

Robin: oh yes. But I'm never sure what's worse. the people who just want to talk about the numbers or the people they may be able to impress. - Rachel Clarke

Aaman - Friendfeed doesn't make link-tracking easy, so it's less interesting for spammers to infest. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Is this a test of interaction or more likely a sort of audience verification? - Gilgamesh

Robin, it's 9am ! - Stephane Tsacas

Gilgamesh: it is what you want it to be. For me I followed you. - Robert Scoble

If twitter is noise, and FriendFeed is conversation, Robert Scoble followers are their own discussion. It's like using an entirely different website. - Carlton Prest

Rachel, that's a good point. Is Facebook the same way? I joined that and suddenly got all these people I've nothing in common with who want to be my friend. Creepy. - RobinDotNet

@Micah: Oh, good I don't read Russian! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Scoble: you convinced me! (thought you just needed self-validation, sorry) - Derek Pangallo

Derek: heh, yeah, I am watching this, among other things running across my screen. - Robert Scoble

Robin: Facebook is the same but I think to a lesser extent - it's harder to find people I think. But still got a load of friend requests that I ignore as I don't know them - Rachel Clarke

Robin: you mean like people you went to high school with and didnt' like adding you on FB - Derek Pangallo

I already do. what i mean is if we don't keep FF, Twitter limited to our interests, wouldn't it be garbage we already try hard to get rid of. Or how far can we extend our interests in life or amount of information we consume? - Seyfi Erol

Derek -- I mean people I really have NO connection with at all. I've only friended a couple of people I work with, and 2 other real friends. I'm getting friend requests from people I don't know at all. - RobinDotNet

Seyfi: you haven't discovered FriendFeed's groups and lists yet, have you? - Robert Scoble

I got a Russian-speaking follower on Twitter. I didn't follow him because I don't understand a word he tweets. - Dennis Jernberg

Mahendra, And I've been told http://translatorize.com has successfully translated all 6000+ (oops - update: 7000+) comments http://friendfeed.com/ideali... from Russian to English :) - Micah Wittman

Thanks Robert! - Jan Ignatius from iPhone

Seyfi: you can separate your friends into lists. That way you can keep your quilting buddies separate from your football ones etc. - Robert Scoble

I'm the spammer u follow alrdy HA! - Rich Weaver

Did you know that Facebook has started selling parts of itself to the Russians? At end of May, they sold 1.96% stake of Facebook to Russia's Digital Sky Technologies for $200M. - RobinDotNet

Robert: I shouldn't have underestimated you. You probably have started much longer comment threads on Friendfeed before. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Mahendra, Robert, I agree, FF has been very good at keeping out junk - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Micah: Uh, wow! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Mahendra: I have. I gave away $5,000 once and got more than 1,000 comments on that. But that cost me a lot of cash. Can't afford to do that again. - Robert Scoble

DST is run by Alisher Usmanov who is closely tied with Putin. You feel ok to that, but re-read the company's user agreement where it says it can share all of your info with third parties. Of course, it's irrelevant to this thread, but I thought it was interesting. - RobinDotNet

Robert: I think your Twitter follow is worth more than that? - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Even if it's a lame comment and I don't actually say anything? Woohoo! FF looks interesting anyway,,, - Matt Harward

Yes, Matt! :-) - Robert Scoble

I'm @odie on twitter - Odi Chi

FF is interesting assuming the topic is FF... and/or Scoble's next devilishly clever stunt to generate FF comments - John Hardy

John: there are lots of interesting topics here on FriendFeed. Did you know you could search by them based on number of likes? Click "Advanced Search" and try. - Robert Scoble

John: Nope. Twitter's 'bout Trends, FF's 'bout Friends. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Very bold, I like it, are you going to keep the people you follow under 2000? - Joe Dawson from iPhone

Tell me the newest best way to use FriendFeed! - Shoichi

I notice that one of the prolific thought-leadering traffic drivers I follow on twitter basically tweets everything he reads, before he reads it. This has lead to spam a few times. disappointing. - Derek Pangallo

I'll not tell anyone ;) - PaperDoll

I hope I am interesting enough to be followed! lol - Carlton Hackett

Some of the reactions to what you're doing are pretty interesting, Robert. - ha3rvey (doesn't dance)

Social media experts? What are those? - Alasdair Munn

But what if someone doesn't want you to follow them :) ... It's not me.... - Amit Nangare

lmao - Andy Ghozali

woww! that is a lot of comments. - Sumanth Kolar

Joining bandwagon. - mwydro

Yo Robert: a man has to do what a man has to do, so one surfer to another: go for it! - Geer

Here here! A good cleansing is good, now and then... Starting fresh is the way to go, get all of that nonsense out and maintain a core group of people for solid conversation! - Brian Partridge

Great taking the tour w/ you, Levar Burton & @VegasBill during CES 09 at the Atomic Testing Museum. I would appreciate the follow back. Thanks Robert! - Chris R

There is change in the air... - Zack Brandit

Chris: I'm already following you, no need to beg! :-) That was fun times, wasn't it? - Robert Scoble

You've got to admit anyone who's on friendfeed instantly gets more exposure since it nicely imports people's public @ reply's anyway? - Matt Randles

I'm a ff fan;) - Cheray Bressler from iPhone

Thanks for following back on Twitter Robert. Cheers from Las Vegas! - Vegas Bill

I'm pretty sure we're friends here, only just wish there was a easy way to check... and if there is, that some one will let me know.... - Grant Bierman

this is such a classic move! well played. - laura

So why can't SEO people be tech as well? Actually requires a good tech aptitude. - Paul M Evans from iPhone

I'd like to see how many comments this one gets :) and i'm assuming you mean follow here on friendfeed. - Bhowmik Shah

Make sense, Scoble :) - Grant Laird Jr

Just out of curiousity, why are there fewer spammers and bots on FF compared with Twiitter? Is it because they haven't discovered FF yet? - Sally Church from iPhone

there are occasionally spammers on FF but I think they mostly get handled quickly vs Twitter where more than occasionally clusters of spammers just follow each other... - Shannon Clark

Choose wisely :) - Ozkan Altuner

Go FF its the Best - Robert Wheeler

followww meee - Thomas Christory

Scoble-plicity .-) - Del_

I use TweetLater to vet new followers. Helps get rid of spammers fast. - Bob Morris (polizeros)

Wow! I've never seen so many people comment on Friendfeed as much as this! - Armand

Yo! peteryared on twiter :) - Peter Yared

This is #scoble at server irc.friendfeed.com I beleive ;-) - Stephane Tsacas

Your biggest fan and follower in Cambridge, UK. Thanks for the DuoFertility video. Great as ever. - Philip Baddeley

Fantastic, I want to be followed :-) - Antonio Correnti

What if your already following me? Do I still need to comment here? - CW™

Sally: I don't explain spam defenses in public. I don't want spammers to figure them out. But there are quite a few defenses against spam here. - Robert Scoble

Refollow me on Twitter! @carloscomputers - carloscomputers

nice one - Ken Post Jr

I was surprised about the spammer comments, until I started getting female nude model followers and I'm a women. Maybe a nude male model but not Sparkle or Hootie McBoob - Corrine Pearce

Corrine: hope you don't see that here on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble

Why are you doing this? You have one of the best listening audiences on twitter! Is there a point to prove that we will post here or go to wefollow? - David Cole

Now those not on FF will miss this one;) - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy

David: actually that's not true. Most of the Twitter audience I had has moved over here. - Robert Scoble

I'm intrigued and will watch with interest -- and hey, you're always interesting. Well worth the follow! - Don Tamihere

real-time on FF is awesome - nchenga

David: and I can prove that. Twitter's audience has become less and less engaged lately. - Robert Scoble

Wow, powerful shift by Robert Scoble, I'm really interested in seeing how this works for you Scoble. I slept through all the big news here tonight. - Jimminy

Always up for your social explorations Robert. - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy

And you're not even halfway through the unfollowing process. :) - Ken Brady

wao, let's good. - naokits

Interesting experiment. This is probably one the most commented feedfriend threads in history! - Menno te Koppele

Plus, David, if you all are listening, you are listening because of my ability to find cool stuff. Mostly that's been because of FriendFeed over the past 18 months. Now I've seen how ascerbic Twitter's spammers have gotten on my accounts. - Robert Scoble

agree, it's an interesting experiment. - nchenga

Menno: actually it's not. There are many 1,000+ comment threads here. - Robert Scoble

Here's a search with all 1,000 comment threads displayed: http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Interesting. This is going to boost 1000 egos for sure :-) - Freddie Benjamin

So will it be a matter of just trying to say ahead of the spammers by jumping from one early adopted social network to another? - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy

JP: no. I am not leaving Twitter. I AM, however, deleting all their accounts so I will no longer be passing them juice. - Robert Scoble

I wonder how will your FF homepage look like after this. - ahmet bulent

Does this make you anti-social media? - Cory Brown

To follow commenters from here on Twitter will be a lot of work for you Robert. Or do you have some magic tool that helps? - Tibor Holoda

Robert, how many of the 100k do you think you'll still be following when you are done? - RobinDotNet

~~~> Robert!! Follow me back again. [a] I'm a real fan of the @Scobleizer... and [b] I'm much nicer than some of these sassy bloofers. ;) - Kim Sherrell

1,100 - Robert Scoble

That's good to know. - George Hall (Australia)

So what if you have all 58k + comment on here? And you have to keep everyone! And your plan is foiled, sir. Okay give or take 10k for the neglected abandoned twitters and the spammers. Btw, you're already following me on both twitter and here. But come on, you're not really. : / - Lise

That's cool. I am finding the spammers too much to manage these days myself. - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy

Are you trying to make a point about FF v Twitter? I have spammy things to say about my amateur photography, potential homelessness, and run-ins with public-run health system in the US. Isn't all Twitter spam--just spam you want? :) - Dean Hall

the auto-refresh on this thread is mind-blowing, fun to watch - nchenga

Do you ever worry about SM burnout Robert? How do you pace your self? - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy

Interesting to note many of most commented threads are in languages other than English. Can we suggest FF has a better international appeal than Twitter? - Kaan Bingol

Good idea, as you say, stop juicing up the spammers - it'll be interesting to see the stats once you've finished. - Andrew Piggott

Dean: your Tweets aren't spam. I might keep you. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

Robert, care to explain how you use groups in this kind of context? Because I don't get the point of following people who are then placed into a "I don't read this much" kind of group. How do you use groups so that you're (1) not overwhealmed, and (2) actually read what people are saying? - Ian Betteridge

You don't have to follow me on Twitter. I think the FriendFeed party palace is mighty fine. - Josette Torres from fftogo

@Ian I believe that it may come in Google Wave. - JP Holecka - Jaypiddy

@Daniel - ditto, and for me it is generally development related also. Robert - I know you have to try and keep up with everything going on in the social media space, but I'm always surprised when people follow so many others as it must be extremely difficult to find the wheat in amongst all the chaff. - Donald Matheson

Jamo: I am already following you. Scott: why not? I am already following you too. - Robert Scoble

Robert, it might be a problem for me re-gaining your following as my tweets are not 100% English only (whether that means trying to speak English or no English at all ;). How do you deal with occasional non-English tweeters? As that's clearly a noise for you. - Tibor Holoda

if only twitter were as engaging as FriendFeed has become, and as instantaneous as things like this comment thread, then maybe I would use it more. Hence why I'm all for unfollowing who you conceive as uninteresting; and if that includes me, then so be it! - Nick Soden

Tibor: I just skip over most of them. Sometimes I translate them to see if I was right. - Robert Scoble

Peter: although to be fair I've already followed quite a few people who have commented here. - Robert Scoble

Robert, but you're following commenters here, not on Twitter, right? Not that i care about Twitter that much, as for me it's just a pipeline. FF and FB are conversational platforms for me, or the places i hang out these days. - Tibor Holoda

Spammers being blocked doesnt do anything as they are hoping for that 1 in 100 hit of someone clicking that link, eventually they get banned and create a new account. - Charlieray

Roy: 40% - Robert Scoble

Does this constitute a comment or are you looking for some insightful commentary on the state of new media? ;) - Iwan

40%? This must have turned out to be one of the biggest promotions in FF history, even if it wasn't intended that way. BTW, I'm new to FF too. - Dennis Jernberg

I think it's a hoot. Now I'm wondering whether to reverse my recent move towards following more, not less. I do believe that from my experience so far FF is more attuned to building/maintaining community than is Twitter. - Des Walsh

Great move Robert - I like it a lot - Robert Davies

Des: on FriendFeed you can do both strategies at the same time. You can follow a lot more in one list while following even fewer in another. - Robert Scoble

"A 60 feet (18 m) long narco submarine can reach speeds of 11 miles per hour (18 km/h) and carry up to 10 tons of cocaine. They are typically made of fiberglass, powered by a 300/350 hp diesel engine and manned by a crew of four. With enough cargo space to carry two to ten tons of cocaine, they also carry large fuel tanks, giving them a range of 2,000 miles (3,200 Km). Because much of its structure is fiberglass and it travels nearly below the sea surface, the vessel is virtually impossible to detect via sonar or radar. Narco submarines also have an upper lead shielding to minimize their 'heat signature' and evade infrared sensors. The newer models have piping along the bottom to allow the water to cool the exhaust as the ship moves, making it even less susceptible to infrared detection. In most cases, this means enforcement agencies must spot them from the air, though they are painted blue and produce almost no wake. ...

I always wondered why they don't use subs to smuggle drugs. I guess they do! I especially like the evidence elimination tactic. - Paul Buchheit

Since they need air for the engines, they can't be fully submersible, so they're really just boats with a deep draft. - Gabe

There is a great documentary on narco subs and smuggling on http://www.vbs.tv . It's Vice magazine, but their documentaries are pretty stellar. http://www.vbs.tv/watch... - Dave Senior

They have a new task force and radar system in Key West and have recently been bringing these subs into the Coast Guard base here including two from the Wikipedia pictures. http://www.wired.com/dangerr... - Eric Logan

It seems like the thing to do would be to create a large number of small, autonomous ships. Or train dolphins to be mules. - Paul Buchheit

They already have decoy subs that they tow with the cargo. They fill up the decoy.. when one ship gets caught.. the decoy sub is released, sinks and turns on a gps locator. The VBS tv documentary is pretty enlightening, they show you where these things are made. - Dave Senior

++ Dave, Thanks, for the link that is a really good documentary. - Eric Logan

Paul: it's quite possible that autonomous ships wouldn't work because they need humans onboard for maintenance. Autopilots on boats are pretty trivial -- you can get one for $500 or less, and some even have remote controls (for the guys retrieving them). Presumably if you could just set some GPS coordinates and a throttle, they would do that instead of paying 4 guys $3000. - Gabe

Gabe, the point would be to make the ships smaller and more numerous so that they would be harder to detect and capture. Of course the best techniques are probably unknown, so maybe they are already doing this :) - Paul Buchheit

Thanks again, Dave, really good doc. [27:41, in Spanish, w English subtitles] - Richard ¿digame? Walker

Paul: the problem at this point might just be that they can't reliably build a boat capable of going through a couple thousand miles of open ocean without maintenance. Remember, these things have to be built undetectably and without raising suspicions. And while the boats may be expendable, they probably don't want to lose $1M of coke everytime there's a mechanical failure. - Gabe

I still like what these folks in Cuba pulled off --- great engineering. http://www.floatingcubans.com/ - Jay Cuthrell

Kol Tregaskes and Jonathan.Rivera liked this

A little video I put together showing you my Twitter "workflow" using Tweetie for the mac. I elect to setup multiple twitter accounts to manage different groups of people. The latest build of Tweetie allows you to get very granular with notifications from each account. Setting up groups via multiple accounts solves 2 problems, cross app group syncing (think phone and desktop) and the Adobe Air bloat. I just love the speediness of a native client. The little blue notification icons indicate when one of my groups has new posts. I only post out using my @davesenior account. Not the quickest way, but probably my favorite overall solution to the grouping problem. - Dave Senior from Bookmarklet

yeah, i do the same but decided to switch to Seesmic Desktop because the overload of buttons in the pointless buttons in the sidebar. If there was growl notifications for searches that would be a great help too. - Zee.

I like the fact that I can link my delicious account with friendfeed but it would be better if we could choose which links are getting published. Maybe use delicious tags to do this? Say if you tag a page "friendfeed", it gets published on FF... otherwise it doesn't. Something like that.

Paul is Dead!! - Steven (optionshiftk)

I still use google read - not much but some...I use the rss reader on my opera mini on the phone - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Paul is dead, right? - Tina Chase Gillmor

open office? - Donnie Murdock

agreed louis - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Jason is going to set us all straight - Tina Chase Gillmor

Thought Steve would appreciate the bit about the Beatles conspiracy - Steven (optionshiftk)

I agree with Louis. Whenever I listen to Gillmor Gang the lack of structure lets it down. That and the varying quality Skype connections. - Martin Bryant

He was more correct with sauce. - rob friedman

Major stuff on Twitter, niche stuff in RSS - Matthew

"Every news story of interest"... no, it's not flying by. There are still people out there without 500,000 followers who don't get 100 "Likes" who are saying things that are important. - Ken Sheppardson

martin, the lack of structure IS the Gillmor Gang. the problem for me is that today seems to be 'puffed egos on ice' day. - Karoli

Jason makes sense in terms of real time. There is also a need for an archive or to redirect data somewhere new. - Louis Gray

If Google improved Google Reader, add friendfeed like features into it (more than only starring and sharing items), then early adopters will go back to it - Charbax

I know who everyone on this show is, except for steve gillmore. Checking teh googles - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Ken: prove that. - Robert Scoble

It should be called RTR real time readers - Ryan Gerritsen

No! Jason is wrong. Digg is not dead. The "Upcoming" recommendation engine gives it a fresh feel. - Steven (optionshiftk)

Robert: You mean by pointing to people who say "important" things who don't get 100 likes? - Ken Sheppardson

Right. - Robert Scoble

I havent looked at digg in over a year - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

twitter clients are mostly stream, but rss reads like GReader offer features like bookmarking and sharing favorites - Matthew

I had big hopes for Digg recommendation engine, but the one they released wasn't impressive - Charbax

Robert: http://metajack.im/ - Ken Sheppardson

Are we including ATOM in this RSS debate of syndication? - rob friedman

Robert, there's no question that Ken is right. Having 100K+ followers does not indicate that it's the only source for important data. Smaller people say important things and get little visibility often. - Louis Gray

I still use GReader every day - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Robert: http://www.stevekrause.org/ - Ken Sheppardson

same as Gunny over here! - Ahmed

Rob, ATOM died long ago. It lost the battle. - Steven (optionshiftk)

Louis: if you are seeing them and you aren't liking their stuff in friendfeed it's your fault. - Robert Scoble

RoberT: http://www.calculatedriskblog.com - Ken Sheppardson

I use rss to import one liners from twitter to friendfeed? - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I thought the Jabber guys where all about ATOM? - rob friedman

useful to me - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

They aren't on friendfeed. So your point didn't hold. - Robert Scoble

I can like them, and you know I will, Robert. But I believe Ken is correct in that you can't force visibility of good content. - Louis Gray

Robert: http://flowingdata.com - Ken Sheppardson

All those guys are on Google. - Robert Scoble

Imagine Google Reader with real-time recommendations (based on your starred/liked items) and real-time Jaiku powered conversations around each item and feed - Charbax

Louis: yes you can. you like them and they are visible. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Not everybody who's important is on FriendFeed or Twitter. That's my point. - Ken Sheppardson

RSS as a consumer commercial name is fading and river of news streams are winning the battle - Alberto Saavedra

@Robert loving your multitasking skills, fast typing with one hand! - Ahmed

Ken: if they aren't on friendfeed they aren't important. :-) - Robert Scoble

Does Techcrunch have fulltext syndication? - rob friedman

haha well done RObert - Ryan Gerritsen

Dan Farber always has mic problems - Matthew

if I was in charge of "mahalo.com" I would always be seen wearing an Aloha shirt - Josh Haley

Ken has a point - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Robert: You don't actually believe that, do you? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

FF and Twitter are what you make them...and you can make them incredible news readers - Ryan Gerritsen

Ken: more and more it's getting close to that. - Robert Scoble

oooooh, some background ... tell more Mike - Tina Chase Gillmor

The "how to be hated" post: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17... - Louis Gray

Robert: The day you believe that, you lose your role as a concentrator for this stuff. - Ken Sheppardson

Arrington strikes as a real miserable person... always feuding with someone - Phil Essing

Ken: more and more the important people will be found on friendfeed. You guys just included two more in this conversation. - Robert Scoble

Phil: He's actually a really nice guy just opinionated. - Christopher Mercer

Thats also true Robert...but some may be slow to get here - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

If they all agreed with each other it wouldn't be any fun at all - Tina Chase Gillmor

How about Calacanis? how can he be a hated guy? :S - Ahmed

I have to agree with Robert... - Ryan Gerritsen

Phil - my 1/1 interactions with Mike have been good. I spoke to him quickly yesterday. But it is easy to throw stones at those at the top. - Louis Gray

Christopher: Mike is a nice guy. He fights with people to aggregate attention. - Robert Scoble

The day we all believe likes, follows, etc makes something true, we're all in serious trouble. - Ken Sheppardson

I know all these guys.... all nice honestly... sorry to burst your view - Tina Chase Gillmor

Im opinionated, but don't seem to make any enemies in the process. - Phil Essing

haha Robert - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Robert: Yeah, and it works :P I think Gilmor says things are dead just to start convo's! - Christopher Mercer

I'm more likely to read an article in a Reader than on a site as there is less distraction. Unless it's got fulltext syndication. - rob friedman

Ken: it is not to believe, it is to promote what you might find interesting for other along with yourself to read or listen to - Ryan Gerritsen

it all started going downhill for Mike when he went to LeWeb and insulted the European entrepreneurs.... - Ahmed

Arrington may be a great guy... I don't know him. I can only react to what I witness, myself. - Phil Essing

Rob: Agree fully. - Nick in Manila

The other day this Marx quote showed up on Twitter/FriendFeed and everybody started retweeting and Liking it. It bounced around and got amplified -- "Owners of capital will stimulate working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to... more... - Ken Sheppardson

Thing is, Marx never said it. - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter and FriendFeed are #2 and #3 referrals for me behind Google (combined with Google images) - Louis Gray

And if everybody just takes "Likes" as gospel, we're dead. - Ken Sheppardson

Once WoW get's a Twitter client, and a Digg API you'll get more traffic, OK? so go make it already. - rob friedman

retards? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Go learn. Read. Listen to people not n Twitter/FriendFeed. Techmeme doesn't equate authority. - Ken Sheppardson

the crunchpad should run Android on ARM processor - Charbax

"Developmentally Disabled Please" I agree! - rob friedman

Don't be retarded. - Phillip Stewart

I loved the part where Arrington gave Feldman shit about spreading lies about him. - Dave Winer

FF finally is realtime. Winer, Gillmor et al finally did killed RSS. - Brad Kligerman

Chickens come home to roost Mikey - Dave Winer

House (The TV Show) has a great rant on the use of retard. - Christopher Mercer

What a bunch of idiots - Dave Winer

Welcome, Dave :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Now now dave - Christopher Mercer

Dave: welcome to the Gillmor Gang. - Robert Scoble

be nice Dave - Tina Chase Gillmor

Who made Dave Winer God? - Stephen Pickering

Hey Dave! - Ahmed

Stephen: lol. Play nice - Christopher Mercer

Stephen: Dave is God. - Robert Scoble

Not really, but he is the guy who gave me blogging, gave me RSS, and improved my life immeasurably. - Robert Scoble

http://www.pcworld.com/article... - Donnie Murdock

Robert: is that why he blocks people on twitter? - Christopher Mercer

Arrington: I don't think Dave's 'yelling' - Chris Heath

Wait.. is Jason defending Dave? - Ken Sheppardson

@Dave are you going to take that from him? :S - Ahmed

He blocks liberally on FF, which means I can't see anything he's saying now. - Josh Haley

Ken, apparently... - Chris Heath

http://www.pcworld.com/article... twitter not for sail - Donnie Murdock

Who is josh? - Chris Heath

sale - Donnie Murdock

jcal is such a smartass - Phil Maxwell

How can you say RSS is irrelevant? - Byron McCollum

Dave - Josh Haley

well that's what I don't get, why block people from seeing what you are saying? Makes no sense for someone so intelligent. Even if I criticize his long thought use of the short form Twitter. - Christopher Mercer

dave is a god - Donnie Murdock

Robert, did you get kicked out of your room again? - Chris Heath

I didn't do anything to him. Got nothing against him, etc. well, yet. - Josh Haley

Was that Canter? - Ken Sheppardson

Chris: someone came in and started talking on the phone. - Robert Scoble

RSS readers will evolve - Donnie Murdock

Ken: yes. - Robert Scoble

You can't ban handshakes! - Ahmed

gun rights? - Phil Maxwell

everyone should just bow nowadays ;-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Let's ban limp handshakes - Tina Chase Gillmor

Banning handshaking (literally) is just as insanse as the 'rss is dead' (literally) - Chris Heath

How about banning conferences - Charbax

Thanks Jason -- and I'll listen to the podcast so I can fast forward. - Dave Winer

in some countries "like mine" it's a sign of respect to handshake people! - Ahmed

I agree Tina - Chris Heath

Ban anything with "con" in the name. - Christopher Mercer

+1 Chris - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I propose we all french kiss each other when we meet - Tina Chase Gillmor

Q: What do handshakes and RSS have in common? A: They're equally as dead. - Ken Sheppardson

Actually, banning handshakes is a good idea. Leading method for things to spread. - Tanath

chipping away at humanity - Josh Haley

@Tina that sounds nice LOL - Ahmed

Arrington is like Larry David and Howie Mandell heheheheheheh - Stephen Pickering

If Leo win's this kissing ban, I am out! - Christopher Mercer

Is Steve syndicating the show anymore.. my podcast feed hasn't updated since the 18th - Dave Senior

wear gloves - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Just explain you're like Howie Mandel. - rob friedman

do a fist bump - Tina Chase Gillmor

Leo - thanks for the clearheaded logic - Chris Heath

it's like that guy from "Boston Legal" that doesn't handshake, keeps his hands on his thighs all the time.... - Ahmed

The mouth is - Christopher Mercer

We could spit instead. - Ken Sheppardson

Spit on each other. - Ken Sheppardson

touch anuses - Josh Haley

Needs better moderation. Too much talking over each other. - Byron McCollum

roflmao - Chris Heath

We shake hands for the same reason we wear suits and ties. - Ken Sheppardson

we wear suit and ties? - Christopher Mercer

Eskimos, Maoris touch noses. Be thankful it's just the hands. - Josh Haley

You obviously don't work in tech :P - Christopher Mercer

Yeah, Hugh *never* attacks TechCrunch - Ken Sheppardson

http://friendfeed.com/pmaxwel... - Phil Maxwell

just thought I'd throw it out there that I have awesome corn on the cob and a smoked turkey sammich - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Wear a button that warns people that you don't shake hands cuz you're a germaphobe - Tina Chase Gillmor

The moderation could be filtering by "likes" - Charbax

Christopher: In theory. Roll with me. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: Alright, since you asked nice! - Christopher Mercer

let's just sniff each other like dogs - Tina Chase Gillmor

thanks, Gunny. Now I'm hungry :p - Josh Haley

Mike is so passive aggressive. lol Makes me laugh. - Christopher Mercer

Doc FTW - Ken Sheppardson

Go DOC! - Christopher Mercer

+1 Doc - Chris Heath

Looks like Mike is a "hugging" kind of a guy http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Ahmed

Crazy hostility. - Byron McCollum

Canter's on the line. This will get fun now. Where's Jason... - Ken Sheppardson

Mike reminds me of Dvorak - he practices the same schtick. - Leo Laporte

lol - rob friedman

:-) - Chris Heath

Up in Halifax, NS they had a fire recently and the local media (and half the city) learned of it from Twitter first. Social Media for the win. - Christopher Mercer

how did twitter save Santa Barbra? - jccalhoun

-hiss- - Chris Heath

Oh, snap! - russellcoleman

Robert: The answer to that question is YES - Ken Sheppardson

why am I listening to this again? - Josh Haley

I'm putting my hand over my mouth and saying geeeeeeez to myself - Tina Chase Gillmor

"Don't Destroy my Network" nice - rob friedman

@Josh maybe because you are bored and need to listen to a bunch of geeks talking... - Ahmed

wow, short!!! - Christopher Mercer

Good question Josh - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Jesus, why is arrington even on the gillmor gang? when he's not being an ass, he's talking about the time someone else treated him poorly. Me me me me... woe is me. meh. - Phil Essing

Why did leo leave and why was this show so short? - Stephen Pickering

Phil: easy on mike - Christopher Mercer

Seems pretty short. - Phillip Stewart

It's not as if you don't have a dozen other people on the call you can attack... - Ken Sheppardson

No, it was DAve. - Ken Sheppardson

unbelievable how you guys talk to each other. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

mike, baited the hook at least, no? - Chris Heath

I'm being hard on Arrington? Perhaps, he should consider being less of an SOB. - Phil Essing

Phil: Hello Pot? Kettle on line three - Christopher Mercer

If RSS = Dave Winer's thing, then you're attacking his baby. - rob friedman

RSS is dead? then how is FriendFeed going to suck in all my content? - Rob Clark

It's personal for Dave Winer because its his baby. I can understand that. - Stephen Pickering

leo had henry's lacrosse game to go to - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Dave said the other day that RSS was dead himself on his blog - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

dave winer calling people names? noooo Of course I live in a flyover state so he doesn't care if I hate him... - jccalhoun

or in a comment - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

yes, RSS is Dave Winer's thing. Steve knows that. But this isn't personal. It's about what's going on and what Steve thinks. It's not personal - Tina Chase Gillmor

A lot of the crap on Twitter comes from an RSS feed... TwitterFeed. - rob friedman

a participator in current technology - Matthew

i has a busket - Phil Maxwell

yes, but Robert's point earlier that dead=not interesting to talk about was valid - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

steve gillmor= davinci? sheesh - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

It's not personal with me either. - Robert Scoble

OMG, Gillmor is Leonardo Di Vinci and the FriendFeed guys are the Beatles! - Stephen Pickering

Gillmor says things are dead once in a while. He said links are dead a few years back. - Robert Scoble

He said Office is dead three years ago. - Robert Scoble

Is that Loren cracking up? - Ken Sheppardson

I'll be honest: I wish Loren had been able to talk more. He was on point and among the most polite on the show. If these could be 3-4 people I think it would be greatly improved. - Louis Gray

rss needs track - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

a lot of ego's clashing leads to personal attacks - Kim Landwehr

agreed louis - Chris Heath

Why did Leo leave? - Chris

I haven't used office in years myself - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Funny, I don't remember Loren being polite. - Raphael, Raphael

links are alive and well on twitter ;-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

So, when Gillmor says RSS is dead it's just a statement about how important he finds the technology. - Robert Scoble

Chris: Leo had something to do with his family. - Robert Scoble

what is he talking about? - Phil Maxwell

true that Kim - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

about the Belguims not giving into the germans? - Phil Maxwell

looked disgusted - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

The rotary phone is dead... RSS is merely becoming less and less relevant - Phil Essing

Jesus guys... this episode should be called the Kindergarten gang... stop it now.. - Nathan Smith

Gilmor saying something is dead is his way to make it dramatic. - rob friedman

Hi, Guys. Did I miss another one of *those* shows? (Got here too late.) - Doug Kaye

does dead mean developmentally dead? - Matthew

RSS, who cares - Nick Rae

Steve does - russellcoleman

Didn't I liked it at all. - Wayne S Price

How is twitter different than an RSS feed with only one 140 carachter field without metadata per item? - Charbax

RSS is not dead its just evolving and morphing into something else - Kim Landwehr

Yes Doug you did...its went wayyy down a road it shouldnt have possibly - Kevin Hart

Twitter isn't push is it - Charbax

Alive? just poll the RSS feed a million times a second. - rob friedman

good - Byron McCollum

we don't talk about FTP either....but still we use it...RSS is in the same kind of state - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

So mike you going to run away...dont do that - Kevin Hart

it's a building block, and stones aren't interesting to talk about most of the time - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

uses of rss are evolving, but is the protocol? not really right? - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Isn't Kinnernet supposed to be in Israel? - Charbax

Things come and go guys, diversity on the internet is the important thing... some people get twitter, some are more comfortable with RSS, others with newspapers... talking about things being dead is just headlining. - Nathan Smith

Mike, I agree there were too many on the call. There are a number of ways to improve the call, which would include having fewer folks and an agenda. - Louis Gray

I agree with him. - Michael Forian

I agree about too many people on the call - russellcoleman

talking about someone when they aren't there to respond is incredibly LOW class - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

I guess thats possibly true Mike...sad. but guess thats true for anywhere but oh well. Like to hear your opinion on such things on the gilmore gang and such...oh well - Kevin Hart

tell them Scoble - Nick Rae

Gillmor should post the video on Youtube after every show - Charbax

Louis, the GG has never had fewer people or an agenda...thats kinda the point of the show. it just kinda flows. its a bunch of back end people talking about all the things - Kevin Hart

We need GillmorGang Survivor: Just get everybody who has ever been on on the same call, then after the show you have to vote one person off... - Ken Sheppardson

heh - Phil Essing

lol Ken - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Keep cutting folks until you're down to 3-4 - Ken Sheppardson

Love that Ken :-) - Nathan Smith

bye Mr Crunch - Charbax

Ken, and we should make them all use Redboxes - rob friedman

Michael I tried to bring in technology and you weren't interested. Google's new Sky app was very cool but you wouldn't have any of it. - Robert Scoble

Haha Ken - Bill Heslin

Robert: Who wasn't interested/ - Ken Sheppardson

Agree'd mike, ive listened since like ep1....and yea it used to be more tech. i dont care about government politics. dont care about who hates who... but guess every show goes through ebs and flows.... thanks for the few moments Mike... - Kevin Hart

no scoop in it if you announce it on the show - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

We can hear STeve's call witn Winer. - Ken Sheppardson

The last gillmor Gang on RSS is from April 19th? Is there a new feed to get the new shows? Or is it love only now? - Omar Egan

There aren't any good voting systems yet on the Internet as far as I know, a basic internet poll can be tricked and is not the right way to vote online - Charbax

gillmor got his feelings hurt - Nick Rae

Steve: your call is on air. - Robert Scoble

It's all SCOBLE's fault ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Oh man, this is bad :S - Christopher Mercer

Scoble needs a headset. - rob friedman

The private call is being aired. Might as well leave it on... - Louis Gray

these guys need to stop taking thing's so personally - jccalhoun

thanks for the heads up - Tina Chase Gillmor

I think everyone's just in a bad mood this week for whatever reason - Stephen Pickering

It's a loss not to see Michael on the call more often. He's dead honest and it does hurt, but that's how it goes - Ville Vesterinen

alpha geeks must sheppard lil alpha geeks. - rob friedman

Audio isn't all that much of a priority on TWiT live, eh? - Michael Forian

The guys need to take a chill pill - Nathan Smith

Michael Forian -- this isn't really a TWiT show. Adio quality is much better on the real TWit shows - jccalhoun

@Michael Forian: Gillmor Gang is not an official TWiT netcast - Phil Essing

tough week - Tina Chase Gillmor

Like O .. M ... G ... if i wanted a lame reality show Id watch Mtv - zefyr

lol - Nick Rae

Forgive, But Remember - It Never Pays To Hold a Grudge http://www.louisgray.com/live... - Louis Gray

Michael Forian, the gillmor gang uses phone teleconferences so there's the lowest common denominator for the audio - Chris Heath

jccalhoun: oh, I know. But still! ;) - Michael Forian

Agreed, Gillmor Ganger's need a Clonazepam before each show - Stephen Pickering

Guys... agree to disagree on this episode... best friends again next week... you guys need to all get together for a beer! - Nathan Smith

Good to hear Scoble. Appreciate all of the people on the call. Valuable insights - Ville Vesterinen

Weird week. - Ken Sheppardson

People being people...we all share whats in our heart eventually - Owen Greaves

yeah very strange.. rather surreal - Nathan Smith

I haven't taken any of this sersiously. What's wrong with me? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

UAV is Online - Matthew

I understand why the audio quality sucks for those on phones, but why was Steve Gillmor's audio crappy? - Phillip Stewart

that's the right attitude Ken - Nathan Smith

Every week is weird. Why can't they have a structured show like TWIT where it isn't constant personal attacks? - Stephen Pickering

Phillip: we're all on cell phones or Skype. Gillmor is in Pacifica. Leo's studio is in Petaluma. - Robert Scoble

Great example of how trying to communicate in 140c isn't sufficient in a whole lot of cases, e.g. see Winer's comments. - Ken Sheppardson

Stephen: because of the personalities involved. - Robert Scoble

I think Gillmor likes it this way. it is Gillmor's show - jccalhoun

Stephen: we're like that in real life too. - Robert Scoble

Dave likes to use 15x 140c to express a thought. I say get a blog! For that, I got blocked. - Christopher Mercer

I see a valleywag post in the future - Matthew

Aaaahhh... Leo and Paul... great palette cleanser.... - Ken Sheppardson

Sometimes the show feels like I'm attending a STONING! - Owen Greaves

Matthew: Valleywag? That's dead. - Robert Scoble

Gillmor Gang is a very "raw" show, which sometimes works to its detriment. - Phil Essing

Owen: it feels like that sometimes too! :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert, ISWYDT - Matthew

Anyway, I'm outta here. - Robert Scoble

Yeah it was almost like the stoning scene in "The Life of Brain" this show - Nathan Smith

It's like a modern Roman Gladiator Arena - Charbax

Yeah, I know. Everyone will be fine like you said in a couple weeks. I think Mike was just in a cranky mood, probably from a stressful week, something about CBS - Stephen Pickering

Later, Robert. Keep workin' ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

have a good afternoon robert - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I only caught the last 10 minutes... did I miss something? :) - Jay Cuthrell

Good night from England guys - Nathan Smith

Thanks, Robert, hope we can catch your interview with Jimmy Wales - Stephen Pickering

Jay: Depends on what you mean by "something" - Ken Sheppardson

:-) - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: *zing* - Jay Cuthrell

I'm hoping for more live videos and friendfeed chats from kinnernet - Charbax

I know Gillmor Gang is raw, and there's a lot of value that comes from that, but I thought when he joined Leo's network, Leo would bring a little structure to it as well as audio quality, and he has for the most part, this week just kind of fell apart. Its all good. - Stephen Pickering

I didn't really mean it that way, i.e. "zing". Lots of folks on the call, some discussion around Steve's "RSS is Dead" thesis, Dave Winer made some comments in Twitter/FriendFeed that sorta sent it sideways... - Ken Sheppardson

It still boils down to respect for one another....there was a shortage of it today. - Owen Greaves

exactly owen - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

it's a fun show, especially once friendfeed sends it sideways - Charbax

@Stephen: Yeah, Leo often ends-up moderating the Gillmor Gang, along with Gillmor, and when he does, the show is better for it - Phil Essing

Owen, yeah, your right, and they wonder why no sponsors? This could be the no 1 tech show or Social Media show, with the talent, if they could make it more structured. - Stephen Pickering

Ken: Oh... I was pasting from my irc window -- that *zing* vs. a *zing* here. No worries :) - Jay Cuthrell

stephen, not to put leo down but i think he sets some stuff loose just for "entertainment value" - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

382 comments, this is getting cool - Charbax

You're right Phil. All in all it has gotten a lot better. This week is just an exception, and Leo had to leave - Stephen Pickering

We now have a unit for calibration of cool. Cool is defined by numbers exceeding 382. - Jay Cuthrell

in a few weeks, there will be thousands of comments per show - Charbax

Maybe FF can have a "Best of day" that takes into account +382 - Jay Cuthrell

Well, fundamentally, GillmorGang isn't Leo's show. It's a long-running conference call that's just recently moved to TWiT as infrastructure/distribution. - Ken Sheppardson

thousands of people chatting, friendfeed will implement chat filtering mechanisms in real-time like "Show or highlight only top 10% of the best comments by best chatters" - Charbax

Yeah, on one end of the spectrum is a YouTube comment, and on the other (hopefully) is a FF comment - Jay Cuthrell

Yeah, Ken, I think that's just in his blood from working in Radio all these years. you gotta do some of that to keep it interesting. But he's also Professional. I've never seen him pick a fight, personally like many of the other members do on Gillmor Gang. - Stephen Pickering

Youtube will implement real-time chatting as well eventually, overlayed on the videos - Charbax

I noticed the feature showing people also watching at the same time... but I rarely see more than 3-4 usernames. - Jay Cuthrell

Yup but eventually it will be all over Youtube and you can switch it on/off as overlay on the video like the annotations. - Charbax

It is a "Gang" however. the DNA is in the name - Tina Chase Gillmor

Stephen, you may be right about grooming with an eye on sponsorship money, but the people that make up the show do it on an inside baseball / think tank basis, and the rough and tumble and rawness is part of its dna. - Micah Wittman

Tina, we're on the same helical wave length! :) - Micah Wittman

Dont defend it Tina, just post the recording so I can see what the fuss is about. - Francine Hardaway from IM

I'm surprised there are no sponsors for the show, Leo's other shows, besides TWiT, don't receive nearly a fraction of the comments this show receives. - Matthew

Micah: People still want to be treated with respect or they most likely won't come back regardless of the format - Owen Greaves

I didn't actually hear this particular show, so I should just wait and see and close my trap. Thanks, Owen. - Micah Wittman

not only do people want to be treated with respect, but they want to see others treated with respect - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I don't mind watching animated arguments as long as people can be respectful towards each other - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I saw it live at LeWeb08 in Paris, they were insulting europeans and people were booing, it was fun - Charbax

Micah & Rob: I'm from canada and we are overly polite here so my view is biased :) - Owen Greaves

I think you're right on Owen. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I don't mind the honesty it's refreshing but it crossed the line today - Owen Greaves

I am looking to do a show similar to this but not for the Internet Elite...for the small biz owner trying survive - Owen Greaves

It did cross a line. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

matthew, during leo's other shows most of the chat happens at http://irc.twit.tv #twitlive - for this show there's a lot of chat in there too... - Chris Heath

thanks for the link to that Chris - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

no prob - Chris Heath

errr... no prob, rob - Chris Heath

:-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

rob, what line? I left 30 minutes in...had enough of mike arrington's baiting, just wasn't in the mood for it. things got hot and mean? - Karoli

as for politics and alliances, @mikearrington, when hasn't it been about that? for as long as i can recall, the politics of tech has been at the fore. there's a struggle afoot right now to get the upper hand on real-time, the cloud, all sorts of uncharted territory. It has always been political, always will be... - Karoli

Chris Heath, Yeah, I follow that chat as well. But only this show and TWiT have brought in an audience on FriendFeed, even though Leo sets up rooms here for his other shows. - Matthew

matthew, it probably has to do more with timing... i see leo's ff chats for the others shows during the day, but i'm at work and can't listen... i assume there's a lot of other people like me - Chris Heath

Karoli: they pretty much all crossed the line...I think that it chilled not long after you left though. I thought Dave, Steve, and Mike all crossed lines. Different ones each - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Karoli - the only reason I knew it was live today was your FF update. I came in late for the series of uncomfy silences. - Jay Cuthrell

jeez let us never speak of this episode again.. - Richard ¿digame? Walker

They really do need a sponsor maybe Plantronics - jackygreen

And Xanax ;-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

I'd like to hear it too. I have to do some driving today and have time to listen. - Dave Winer

I wouldn't imagine that this is a great show for a new listener to start with. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Ended up here after reading a Bobby Llewellyn tweet - now I know who his next CARPOOL interviewee is :) - Bigrac

It's always funny how one person's favorite is another person's worst nightmare :) I always enjoy Dvorak, Patrick and Veronica. - Jeff

Molly Wood - Renee Pie

Pete Cashmore was cranky and great although probably not popular. Ryan Block and Will Harris are always good. Worley and Molly are very good. Curry would be fun since he is opinionated.

Wil W pls, he's a fan of both Twit and Star Trek... - Denverken

Steve Gillmor, Merlin Mann and Jason Calacanis. - Wo

Kevin Rose, I know you don't like having him on, but he is nice to see every once and a while. Veronica Belmont would be nice again, Patrick, Maybe John. - Dakota O'Neill

Sam Ramji, Open Source Director at MS. Talk about cognitive dissonance! Very smart guy and excellent speaker. I can introduce you if you want. - John Kordyback

Josh Topoksky, Geoff Farinha (up and coming podcaster) - Shawn Roberts

I really enjoyed Twit 188 with Becky Worley and Devorak. Calacanis is good too. Not a fan of P Norton - Allison

Wil Wheaton and Levar Burton would be awesome. - Jason Elliott

John C, Rose, Norton, and Worley. Second list is John C, Harris, Swood, and Curry. - Kacy

Patrick, Wil Wheaton, and JJ Abrams. - Matt Smith

Dvork he's always good - Annika from Nambu

Leo - I'd like to hear from Bret, et al, from FriendFeed and what they've experienced, learned from the very first major outage they have suffered (due to their colo provider losing power) - Robert J Taylor

Daniel Suarez, author of Daemon… just finished it… awesome. - Mike Meiners

I like Jerry Pournelle, if he's up to it. - doggy

Heard about that Daniel Suarez. Looking on Audible right now for download (Insert Audible Ad here Leo) LOL - Bill Heslin

Molly and Lisa--Star Trek geeks; Brian; and Patrick but, as has been stated, only if he's in the house otherwise he leaves early/gets disconnected/gets called away. No more than four - MikeNNN

I forgot. John Gruber, he's the best. - John Kordyback

Definitely could use me some Molly Wood. Also, Veronica was nice. Hell, make it an all BOL show, bring in Jason and Tom too. And I agree with John, Gruber would be sweet. - Mike Nayyar

another new suggestion considering the fate of 3d realms: 1UP.com editor Garnett Lee - friend of Patrick, frequent Cranky Geeks guest and all around smart dude on tech subjects - winston smith

I love the new product reviews like Pogoplug and sling iphone and using eye-fi for instant slide show from camera! LESS ALCOHOL! - Stephan Romeo

Chris, Molly has been all over this biz! - Mike Nayyar

Patrick Norton, Jason Calicanius, Or perhaps Bwana? Levar Burton is always awesome too. - Crystal Tillman

Trent Reznor - Baron Sekiya

For selfish purpose, I'd love to come on and talk about how we're using social networking to help America's homeless. But aside from that (and pardon the plug), I like Baron's choice, Trent Reznor would make for an interesting guest given the present circumstances with Apple. I also would love to see Molly Wood. - Brandon Mendelson

Wayne Sutton - Wayne Sutton

Well that's just sneaky, Wayne. Mike Nayyar! :P - Mike Nayyar

Norton, Dvorak, Wheaton and Burton - Howard

John C. Dvorak of COURSE, Becky Worley (who seems very insightful and is able to hold her own with John) and lots of wine. Do not under any circumstances allow Calacanis on to do any more impressions, god that's annoying. - Barry Ferg

Interesting to hear what a tech-savvy VC has to say about the state of innovation in tech - what is likely to get funding - who's under presure - where money helps innovate - where VC money offers no advantage etc etc - Ian Horley

Calacanis, Veronica, Levar and Dvorak of course - John Gardiner

Adam Curry, not that bad of a guy Leo... Less Ryan Block, More Calacanis, More Wil Harris - Jim Edwards

How about a Blast From the Past! A show on the old Computer Chronicles and maybe get Stewart Cheifet as a guest. I know it's history, and not really a new tech idea, but if not on TWiT maybe on another show. Maybe TDoT - These Decades of Tech, history of where it all started, with guests like Steve Jobs, Woz, Gates (he's retired now also) Capt. Crunch etc.. There is a lot of history there! just an idea. - HamRadioActive

Dvorak - MλTT

John C Dvorak. - tommy

How about how the white house could have saved 300k and a job. To do the Air Force One Photo - hire someone to photoshop a pricture of AF1 over the SoL - why did we actually need to take the picture? - Laurence Gold

Why not have an open MIC ? - johnpiercy

I'm available - Russ Broomell

Lisa Bettany and Justine Ezarik please :) - Peter Kruit

Paul thurott - Joe from BuddyFeed

Jason Calacanis - Caleb Elston

I'd really like to see you take it to the next level and turn it into the tech equivalent of the Sunday news shows, ala This Week, Meet the Press, etc. That is, try to get more of the folks who've actually made news in tech this week on the show, combined with analysis of why what's happened this week matters. Just getting a bunch of hosts from TWiT shows and other media outlets talking about who knows whom and promoting their stuff is less appealing to me. - Ken Sheppardson

Levar Burton - May I also add perhaps an iPhone/BB/C-phone app review/recommendation section of the show - I value the panels input on such things - Tyler Johnston

Jerry Pournelle, Levar B or Peter Rojas. Spare us the bubble gum ones like iJustine or Lisa Bettany. Shopping exclusively at an Apple Store and being cute != tech expert/panelist. - Adi

Yeah, I'm a OneNote -> Evernote convert. Doesn't seem like we really have Window client parity with Mac yet. - Ken Sheppardson

I use Evernote all the time to keep track of things, love it - Kim Landwehr

Question for Phil: When will us Windows users have all the same functionality Mac users have? The "Notes by title" thumbnail view comes to mind. Seems to be in the online and mac versions, not on Windows. - Ken Sheppardson

Are they developing a Palm Pre, webOS client? - Ken Sheppardson

Question: When will Evernote (Mac) stop locking data in and give proper export (and not a convoluted XML file)? - Frank

I just downloaded it, i love it so far! - Callum

I love the syncing capability of Evernote...internet, desktop, and mobile...plus text notes, web clips, or audio!!! - Brian Appleby

Would like to see plain old Jabber/XMPP/Google Talk integration, so I could just IM stuff into a notebook - Ken Sheppardson

I love EverNote. I use it across Mac, PC and iPhone. - Michael

just got my cigar aficionado magazine nice review of the palm pre don't know how they got one but great review - Gary Prechtel

I just use the browser plugin rather than the software installed version - Greg

I'm sorta confused whether Phil was making a Palm Pre joke or a dis... - Ken Sheppardson

Evernote rocks! I wish I worked for them. They really have something to be proud of there. Ken: I think Phil was being coy because he couldn't talk about what they're doing with Evernote on the Pre yet. - Joe

Knew about EverNote for a while but am just trying it now and LOVE IT, its going to rock during school with long science class's and lots of writing on whiteboards! - Dakota O'Neill

OK, I think one of the terms of the Palm Pre early access dev program is you can't say you're part of the early access dev program... so now I feel better :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Sorry if this was asked before..will there be Blackberry Bold support? - Jeff Gignac

@Jeff Gignac Like he said they are working on a lot more phones. But you can always just use the email way. Which is just as good! - Dakota O'Neill

what's the discount code for squarespace? - Karma Martell

"night" - Leo Laporte

Leo, I thought we were doing a Gillmor Gang tonight. Is that still on? - Robert Scoble

Am I the only one dissatisfied by the BSG conclusion? They basically answered a lot of questions with "God did it", and then the characters choose to terminate their civilization, culture, knowledge and technology, entering into a 150,000 year dark-age.

No, you are not. I was waiting for a grand finale where everything will be explained in some surprising, mind-blowing way. Everything *was* explained, but the explanation was, lacking a better word, lame. - Tudor Bosman

I thought the last part, where they brow beat the whole future time-traveling head angels teaching us an after-school special lesson, was lame. In retrospect, the rest of the ending was probably the only appropriate way to end everything: throughout the series, the running theme is mankind got too proud with its technology and built cylons; the cylons rebelled, and even the best laid... more... - Mark Trapp

The one thing they could've done was stretch out the catharsis over more than 20 minutes: I feel like the entire second half of season four was at least a full season's worth of plot condensed after they wasted so much time on nowhere plots in season three. I think they could've explained a little more about the divine plan, but that was probably a victim of the condensed plot line as well. Hopefully The Plan, the TV movie coming out later in the year, expands on the divinity story. - Mark Trapp

I had no problem dumping most of the high tech because it would make them easier to find in case there are any stragglers were looking for them, was failing and wasn't all that useful. New Caprica looked more like something from Charles Dickens than the Garden of Eden. - RAPatton

Most tech oriented people I talked to loved that they finally "won" the war with Cavil, heroically, but hated that they chose to be erased from history and live terrible, brutish, short lives without modern medicine or anything. Most people were hoping that they would land on Earth and find it was the genesis of Kobol, a destroyed (non-radioactive earth), like Planet of the Apes, and they would live off in the future in our memories rather than being dead 150,000 years ago. - Ray Cromwell

One option RDM could have taken with the 'past earth' version would be to make them Atlantians, having build the city of Atlantis and vanished for some reason. But Colonials with children giving up *everything* and living like primitive man? I don't see it, no matter how bad the Cylon war/Cycle was. Some humans would have voted to go live with the Centurions in the base ship or tag along with them I bet. Hell, I would have voted to set a ship down somewhere and live out of it. - Ray Cromwell

It was incredibly weak.. all this god did it stuff.. your all seeing angels.. Starbuck was an angel.. blah blah blah... really did a disservice to the characters. - Dave Senior from twhirl

I was hoping the angels would turn out to be some hyper-advanced AIs from Kobol that had gone to war and started the original exodus, and had been spreading a viral meme through generations of robot DNA manifested as visions, angels, All Along The Watchtower, etc. It wouldn't explain the clairvoyance of how to arrange both fleets to arrive just in time for the super-nova. Or that the singularity+FTL would turn into a time travel device(weak, yes) but allow for Baltar to be the author of Pythian prophecies - Ray Cromwell

I also thought it was very naive of Apollo to blame war on technology. Humans have been warring for a long time. Technology has just changed what it looks like. The same goes for pedophiles. They used to hang out at the school playground. Now they can hang out in the internet instead. I did like the foreshadowing of things happening again, as the hybrid said. - Robert Felty

I was disappointed that no one pointed out how much is sucks to live without technology. I also thought it was interesting that a couple of the main characters wanted to be hermits in the end. I was happy that they finally let Roslin die. - Clare Dibble

Claire, there was a dialogue with Romo Lampkin, where he showed surprise that the entire fleet was so willing to forgo "creature comforts," to which someone replied that he underestimated the amount people would sacrifice for a "clean slate." - Mark Trapp

I could have done without the final moral lesson but was otherwise satisfied. - Kevin D. White

That crew of screw-ups as the first intelligent life on Earth -- explains a lot. And Baltar and 6 as the 'angels' walking with us to this day. Sorry, but the juxtaposition of Adama throwing up on himself and Tigh and Ellen getting further shitfaced in a strip club, with the scenes of beautiful pristine Earth, was maybe about the lousiest ending that could have been thought up. Ronald Moore's creation was pretty ugly, top to bottom. - Christopher Galtenberg

But we were left with one lingering question: where will the cylons find fashionable duds now? - Christopher Galtenberg

I haven't written my final review or figured out what it will say, but part of the reason I found it satisfying is that to me BSG is a collection of characters, and the ending for each made sense, and gave me closure. I like this way of ending, as opposed to the Sopranos which I found unsettling and lacking resolution. - Dave Winer

We're all descendants of a half-Korean cylon mitochondrial Eve. :p - Josh Haley

Yep, loved it! They found their paradise and didn't want to spoil it, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. After all the pain and suffering a simple life would be very attractive. - Rob Fahrni

I guess I don't believe in the Luddite fantasy of paradise, that if only we destroyed all our knowledge and technology, then things would be ok. I doubt that ignorance is the way forward. - Paul Buchheit

It was about as good as any series ending I've ever seen, probably the best SciFi for sure. I'm sure I'm not the only who bites his check bloody when someone says "All Good Things" - Matthew DeVries

Only 2 things bummed me out, that they didn't flat out say that Starbuck was the daughter of a Seven, and that they never unboxed the Twos. - Matthew DeVries

I think things would have been horrible. Think of the Europeans arriving in the New World. How many of the initial waves died? How many of the immigrants and natives succumbed to disease. The Colonials would not have been immune to Earth 2 diseases, nor the primitive natives of theirs. How did Adama build his dream cabin with no steel tools? Did he make a Stone Axe? Look at how city dwellers failed when back-to-nature Communists marched them into the fields to be farmers. - Ray Cromwell

Paul -- maybe we'd feel differently if we were the last survivors of a civilization that had destroyed itself -- with technology. - Dave Winer

Paul, I'll drink to that, but I wonder how they could've resolved the ongoing theme of "our technology screwed us" in a way that wouldn't involve a rejection of technological progress. Consider that in the first war, they managed to defend against the Cylons by removing networked computers from their defenses, and the only reason Galactica survived the holocaust was because it was the luddite battlestar of the fleet. - Mark Trapp

Matthew: Kara being the daughter of Daniel/Seven was never in the cards. RDM went on an interview tour basically saying "my bad, we didn't mean Daniel to be anything more than a minor character in the Cavil backstory. Don't pin your hopes to him." - Mark Trapp

But Mark - Kara and Hera? Come on. Starbuck was Seven's daughter, that's just a given. - Matthew DeVries

Dave, I considered that, and of course there's no way to know how we'd feel after being through all that. I think the fact that the show's ending bothers me so much is perhaps an argument that it was a "good" ending :) - Paul Buchheit

You know one guy would've been smelting out iron barrels and making potassium nitrate the first time he had to go bow or spear hunting. Maybe he was one of the ones who landed in China. - Rob Haas

You can have a clean slate without obliterating all the lessons you've learned up to that point. It just seems wasteful and naive to think the "clean slate" wouldn't dream of electric sheep at some point down the road. But, hey, it is BSG after all. RDM did the best that could be done in that context. - Scott Greiff

On Xenoevolutionary scale, what are the odds that a biologically similar culture will develop far far away with all the historical biological impressions that Earth has? And I'm not even taking Drake's equation into this whole thing (which would throw the odds far far far far away) - Eran Sandler

Once saving grace is that the Centurions who left at the end on the baseship presumably have a historical record, and can return in a future BSG Movie, Galactica 2080, to warn Japan about creating humanoid female fashion robots, and to rescue a band of super-powered scout kids..... :) I am still depressed that a culture that invented FTL, immortality through resurrection/consciousness uploads, and AI, destroyed itself multiple times, forgot its history multiple times, and essentially gave up. - Ray Cromwell

I think we're forgetting something in all this: the show had a proper ending. Maybe it's not the ending we didn't want or like, but it ended. How many of our favorite shows have we seen that were cancelled out from under us, with no way to proper finish the story or with some lame attempt to tie off the myriad loose ends? I'm just glad that Moore and his bunch got to tell their story completely. Was it the one I wanted? Not really, but it finished. And that's not nothing. - Steven Perez

Oh, and I think that it was the only proper ending that could be had: break the endless cycle of pain and death and find a new way, even if it meant giving up the things that made them "advanced". Then again, after all these years of hype, what possible ending would have satisfied the majority of viewers? - Steven Perez

Thanks for heads up but we don't all live in USA... Season Finale is scheduled here in three months... - Boubacar Balde from twhirl

For a series to have an official ending here in the US is kind of a big deal. I kind of wish more shows would wrap up, considering they ran out of ideas awhile back. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato

Has there ever been a good ending to a sci-fi/fantasy series? Nerds cannot be pleased. - Matthew DeVries

I gave it an 8 out of 10. The crew was under a lot of pressure to wrap things up, and for the most part did their best to tie it all together. Did they cop out on some questions? Absolutely (Starbuck anyone?). So there were some ways I was disappointed, but I thought it was better than the last couple of episodes had been trending (horribly IMO). - David Wynn

The best way I can rationalize the loose ends / mysticism - is that it serves as a counterpoint to the technology - it indicates that the universe that they live in is still much more complex than they (or we) understand - and that although the cylon/human battle seems monumental, it's insignificant in relation to the as yet still unknown. I think that's where allegory with today is most clear. The only thing that weakened it for me was the in-your-face Baltar/Caprica in 2009 silliness. - Robin Barooah

...although that actually looked as though it was tacked on afterwards - my guess would be studio fears that the emotional/spiritual ending would be lost on some people so they wanted a simplified ending as well. - Robin Barooah

Saw the title of this thread before watching the finale so decided to let RDM be God and trust HIS divine plan and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. - Nicola Quinn

A much much better conclusion would have been something like what Asimov did to merge and end both the Foundation and the Robots series. - Mario Nogueira Ramos

I wish this was available on Netflix streaming. I'm afraid to admit I haven't seen any of them. I'd rather stream it than get the DVDs though. - Jesse Stay

I'm still waiting for someone to cite a more perfect SciFi/Fantasy ending. There's never been one. So just respect it for not being flat out terrible like ALL of the other SciFi endings have been. Voyager was the closest to not terrible, and it was still pretty terrible. - Matthew DeVries

I agree the Luddite conclusion is annoying. But lately I'm thinking it's not so much "either or." A happy convergence is occurring between the POV that "it takes a village to raise a child" (ie, we'd all be better off in those simpler times) and the increased value that comes from less anonymity online. Instead of lurking and seedy chat rooms, the participation and responsibility is way up. In a way, we're recreating the village. It's a little bit tech, and a little bit Luddite. - Edward Zwart

Edward: It's a little bit country, and a little bit rock and roll? - Mark Trapp

Really? Maybe the most vile and self-centered character consistently and throughout the whole series, Baltar, finally decides to something else before himself and he his the hero. All is better: a simple moment to erase the the selling out of the human race. Isn't the message that you should do as you will for as long as you can, and just when you are pretty sure you are about to die, say you're sorry and you'll never do it again. Ouch! - Chris Rose from twhirl

Ooo! I just thought of the perfect ending for BSG--they should have called me-- right during the biggest battle, the alarms are sounding and we fade to, insert character here, wakes up and, insert clever-thought-provoking visual here and fade to black, roll credits. I'd like to thank the Acad..... - Chris Rose from twhirl

Having wasted many hours following the plot-churn that was the third series I'm glad I wasn't able to see the fourth. Judging from most of the comments here it wouldn't have been a good investment. Why is it all these space operas, from Star Wars to BSG, have to get religious? But then maybe I'm demonstrating why we Brits always get cast as the villains in US series -- something to do with our tendency towards jaded detachment..! - Tim Ostler

I too was dissatisfied. Sorry, but post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi is a difficult genre and they just didn't deliver. History repeats itself, maybe it will mutate this time around? Gee, I haven't heard that stuff 100 times before. The religious stuff was preachy and overkill. The anti-technology stuff was ridiculous (remember a few episodes ago when toothpaste was a big deal). They resolved everything but the resolution was bunk. - AJ Kohn

Overall, I liked it, but there was too much "God did it" hand-waviness for it to be completely enjoyable. If there was hinting at some of them becoming Atlantis, at least that would have addressed the "everyone would NOT choose to give up all their technology" issue. A SciFi series that had a much better conclusion than this was Babylon 5. The end of Season 4 of that show (the *real* ending to the main story) was fantastic. Season 5 was alright, but felt more like an epilogue than anything. - Chieze Okoye

I thought the war scenes were great. I kind of half-heartedly liked the re-enactment of the "opera house," the really long death scene was lame. Glad Olmos got the final scene. Well, despite the odd angels-on-earth-still-in-90s-fashions (though they're 150K years old..?) - anna sauce

... and I'm also glad that an American TV series decided to end. Starbucks disappearing was dumb. In general, wish they'd done more flashbacks/character substantiation in the weird 3rd/4th seasons that were so slow and melodramatic. - anna sauce

You are not the only dissatisfied one. I didn't care for it the first time I watched it, let it sit for a day and watched it again, only to find marginal improvement. Not quite as bad an exit as the Sopranos, but certainly not as smart as MASH. 5 stars out of 10 to what was an otherwise extraordinary series. - Cole Jolley

Anna - you wanted more flashbacks? I thought that the last several episodes were too slow. Most of the revelations about the final five etc. had already been revealed, so the flashbacks didn't really explain that much. I thought that one of the great parts of the series was how suspenseful it was. That was lacking in my opinion in the last several episodes (except the finale). - Robert Felty

I think I would've just let it pass as a reasonably neutral, non-sucky finish if not for the flash-forward at the end. I found that totally inconsistent, it took me out of the story completely, and sorta left a bad taste in my mouth RE the whole series. - Ken Sheppardson

I for one am glad for the sucky flash forward, thereby justifying my not having spent any time at all on this - Steve Gillmor

Finally saw this (it showed up on Hulu yesterday) and it really wasn't half as bad as I was expecting from these comments. :-D I didn't think it was particularly depressing that they walked away from technology. Maybe the depressing part was that the technology didn't change them: that *despite* the fantastically advanced technology developed over millenia, humanity's idea of a "good time" still revolved around politics, illicit sexual encounters, and getting drunk and puking on yourself. - Karim

Maybe the correct analogy is not to Luddites -- who hated technology because they saw it as stealing their jobs -- but more to the Amish, who wish for peace and nonviolence. ;-) - Karim

Video games are not recession proof. With the cratering global economy, the game industry is certainly feeling the effects — most notably, those making the games. "The environment creates stress and strain on all fronts," an insider told Kotaku. "Management finds themselves unable to maintain the funding for their staff, and employees find themselves working harder than ever without reward." Every week it seems like another company is slashing staffers or shuttering. Folks are out of work, finding themselves starring in a new game: The game of finding a job.

the gaming industy has a bigger problem, the control publishers are exherting and the conservative deathgrip they are employing. The indie scene could be the saviour tho, as much of gaming outside of the pathetic "AAA" graphics orgasma-fests (which is what is burning all of this cash they use to make a game) is going back to its roots and putting gameplay ahead of everything. There's a great little RTS I have been playing recently called Dysons. Simple but beautiful graphics, the only downer is the pacing. - alphaxion

Alphaxion: It comes down to ROI.. AAA titles are a high risk venture, you burn through a ton of debt just to get through development. All the investment is frontloaded. It takes an awfully secure firm with solid cash reserves and little debt to finance a game these days. - Dave Senior

Every business works on ROI ;) the current concept of AAA is spending exorbitant amounts of money on the graphics or on overly complex game mechanics/engines. You don't need to spend a fortune in order to create a great game and we are seeing a movement in this direction. Just look at how much it costs people like introversion to create their games and the turnaround on production. - alphaxion

compare game production today to production 15 years ago, they used to make a few games in a year or two, most would have only moderate success with an occasional hit that would cover the cost of producing the others. Today, for the "mainstream" a game can take 3, 4, 5 or more years to produce, which greatly adds to the burden since the studio doesn't tend to make money during that period. - alphaxion

I feel that Flash and indie game developers are working in the new economy. Be able to produce a product with a small team on a bootstrapped budget. This allows you to rely on lower price/advertising model to fund a game. This may be the future. - Dave Senior

My next episode of vertical slice mentions a massive step towards this.. Paradox Interactive have created a digital publishing label called Mezmer Games. An indie version of steam effectively. Also, I don't think it's new economy, it's getting back to the old economic models of gaming. Taking chances, but taking enough of them to find one that sticks.. There will always be room for the massive "AAA" games, but they'll be funded by smaller, better and more frequent games. - alphaxion

It seems that alphaxion has said all I was planning to say, and I agree with most of his assesments. It might be bad for the "industry," but I believe the result for the gamers is that we will get more light-weight games more based on actual gameplay than SUPA-LEET GRAFIX. But then again, that's just the retro fanboy in me speaking. =p - Daniel Bruce

It calls out BitTorrent and eDonkey as the two leading P2P networks for illegal downloads. The ESA highlighted one part of the report, which involved tracking the illegal downloads of 13 titles during December 2008. Users downloaded 6.4 million copies of these games, the two most popular titles being downloaded 4.7 million times. The "heaviest illegal downloading" occurred in Italy (17%), Spain (15.1%), France (7.9%), Germany (6.9%), and Poland (6.1%).

BitTorrent: If Pirate Bay is Shut Down, It Could Take All of BitTorrent With It - http://i.gizmodo.com/5153109...

The operators of Pirate Bay are standing trial in Stockholm next week. Yikes, I know, but here's the scariest part: if Pirate Bay falls, it could be big trouble for BitTorrent as a whole. P2P researchers crunched the numbers and found that the Pirate Bay's eight servers are responsible for tracking over 50% of the internet's torrents. Should the Pirate Bay be shut down, the burden then placed on the next-largest BitTorrent trackers would likely overwhelm them, causing a chain reaction that could bring the whole torrenting infrastructure to its knees. - Dave Senior from Bookmarklet

It's the internet, it's built for redundancy - Richard A.

Unlikely.. someone else will step in to fill the void. There's a deeper reason why pirate bay exists beyond "I'm not gonna pay for that". It's the way in which media companies mess around with releases and software firms charge extortionate amounts of money regardless of whether you're a company, consumer or student. Imagine if media firms released their stuff online for the world at a reasonable price instead of staggered? - alphaxion

Imagine if we saw sensible licensing fees that took into account commercial use, residential use and scholastic use... They'd prolly make revenue instead of losing it to piracy. - alphaxion

Maybe public trackers will suffer but private trackers will see no loss at all. - Brandon Titus

alphaxion hit it right on the head.. If licenses were written sensibly to allow the user to consume media that he/she has already paid for (televsion, album sales, etc), we would likely have a happier media ecosystem. New pricing and subscription models could really curb the cumbersome process of piracy. Fact is, right now, it is sometimes just easier to pirate. - Dave Senior

@dave sometimes it's the only option - I cannot buy crystal maze episodes anywhere because they won't release them on DVD. Where else am I to get my hands on them? Piracy exists for a number of reasons, not just because some people won't pay. - alphaxion
