How much? - Johnny Worthington

Michael... the answer is: If it was a 'no', you wouldn't have taken the time to post and already told your Coworker your answer :P... Get thee a camera sir! - Johnny Worthington

+5 BEX - Derrick

Damn you, Palm. Did you have to announce something so cool the day after I bought a new phone? - Michael Hocter

Yeah, I will finally have accompaniment for my weird little songs! - Michael Hocter

Does anyone here remember the Cleveland Free-Net? Or am I really old? I still remember my id (ak519), and I'm still in contact with a few of the people I met there way back in the 80s. Ah, good times... - Michael Hocter via Bookmarklet

Ben, I didn't know that. Interesting... - Michael Hocter

I was logged in the night it was shut down. I think I have a transcript of the chatroom somewhere. I also had the (dis)pleasure of rebooting the servers when they'd crash during its last year of operation. - Sam Harmon

Set up a pretend scenario where actors pretend to be racist, and oh my god, other people will be racist, too! Wow, this is news... - Michael Hocter via Bookmarklet

They should call this "To Catch a Racist"! - Michael Hocter

This is beyond dos muchos. I refuse to get up in this crapola. - Derrick

Hide liberally + scroll by yuckiness. :) - Mona N.

Thanks, Mona. I figure if anyone knows how to handle the noise, it's you. :) - Michael Hocter

Michael - from my understanding, I AM part of the 'noise' ;) Lists help, too. :) - Mona N.

I agree. I hide a lot of stuff. - Chacha - Sick (Literally)

Whoever ends up with it, I hope they have deep pockets or a better plan for making money with it. JPG is/was a lovely idea and a fun community, but I'm not sure it's a real viable business. - Michael Hocter

Good suggestions here - Michael Hocter

And yes, I'm aware that this post is also about FF. :) - Michael Hocter

This weekend's bitchmeme, and thus what everyone is talking about, is about FriendFeed: next weekend it'll probably be about something else. FriendFeed's greatest strength, leveraging what your friends are talking about as a means for discovery, is also its greatest weakeness: what happens when all your friends are talking about something you don't care about? - Mark Trapp

Mark - you go outside. - Hutch Carpenter

Outside: what is that, a FriendFeed competitor? Do they have keyword-based tracking outside? :-P - Mark Trapp

Along with that support, we have also received some interest from qualified parties who may be interested in acquiring the company so that JPG could live on. - Michael Hocter

We've spent the last few months trying to make the business behind JPG sustain itself, and we've reached the end of the line. We all deeply believe in everything JPG represents, but just weren't able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times. We sought out buyers, spoke with numerous potential investors, and pitched several last-ditch creative efforts, all without success. As a result, jpgmag.com will shut down on Monday, January 5, 2009. - Michael Hocter

Phill, this is a great series. I love reading about someone else's workflow. :) I especially found this part interesting. I probably won't adopt it but it did give me some ideas. - Michael Hocter
