Robert, last I checked the RSS feed hasn't been updated in weeks.
- Mike Doeff
I missed it, but I heard at the end something about you uploading it to Youtube? I think that would be great to have that as an easy way to catch up with your shows. Easy skip into important parts if comments or links are to a specific timecode in the video, support for HQ even HD mode (if you were recording HD which you are not). You need my type of early setup Director account (signed...
more...
- Charbax
HI Steve... caught the tail end of your show... twas good! :)
- Michael Lynch
I use to listen on my way to and from work, I can't watch the live show. Any chance the i-tunes version could be uploaded after every show again?
- Jeff Weber
christian i guess as the moment you couldn't, because you're probably sleeping or about to sleep, because your side of the planet is facing away from the sun right now, kinda like mine does when the gillmor gang is on....
- Christopher Harris
Hey, Mine too..... Fortunatly i can stay up late tonight......
- Roberto Bonini
I don't have time to do real-time... would really appreciate the mp3
- Jeff Weber
Is there a DVR equivalent for BitGravity/Twit.tv that will allow me to record the show to mp3? Real-time only podcasts feels like TV pre-DVR.
- Jeff Weber
I believe there have been a few GG's now that took place in real-time but have never been released for download. Bummer too, GG is one of my favorite shows. "Real-Time" is great, but "Anytime" is better!
- Jeff Weber
Steve, I assume this is being done on purpose along the lines of the old GG "Parts 1-4" split, but can you explain to those of us who don't have easy access to the real-time stream when and if we'll see a Gang podcast? (And if not, why not?)
- Andrew Jaffe
I think some kind of answer on this issue would be nice. The silence from anyone involved in the show is frustrating. I can't see any reason not to release it as an MP3.
- Martin Bryant
you'll have to bear with us until our plans can be fully implemented.
- Steve Gillmor
Could be wrong but I believe Steve mentioned that they'll be on YouTube but Google has to work out some issues. I would still prefer to get them in iTunes as podcasts (audio), can rarely catch live and really don't need video for a talking heads show while driving.
- PXLated
sounds like you already heard the show
- Steve Gillmor
Is it surprising how many of these companies are secretive about how many servers they have?
- Pete D
it's an ambiguous things - do the servers show how beefy your product is, i.e. how much number crunching and storage is really needed for all their sophisticated needs - or does it show how inefficiently done it was?
- Iphigenie
It's all about lenses. Research the lenses you want to shoot with and then buy the body that supports those lenses.
- Akiva
Well, not just the menu style though. Canon tends to be more button intensive while Nikon's got more toggles and switches and wheels.
- ronin
Umm, Canon's design (at least on the 5Ds) rely on a wheel. And both seem to have comparable 50mm primes.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
How it feels in your hand is a big one. Layout of the button and menu.
- Zach Flauaus
I'm beginning to think that the answer is "there is no reason to pick one over the other".
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I like Canon, but I can't justify why I would pick it over Nikon... they both rule to me. I went with Canon simply because of brand loyalty. I have two other Canon cameras
- Bwana ☠
Perhaps they have done a poor job of differentiating...
- David Damore
Glen, we are both Americans...I bet we agree more that we disagree. :)
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I didn't mean Canon doesn't have any wheels, it's just that controlling a Canon is usually something like "push button, scroll" while a Nikon has a bunch of toggles and switches thrown in as well.
- ronin
If UX is not a factor, then price may be a consideration especially with the high end lenses. Canon lens system also has the upper hand in newer and more offerings in the high end primes as well as constant f/4 zoom lenses.
- ronin
I only like Nikon DSLRs because Akiva likes Nikon and he got me into Nikon DSLRs. That said, I have a Canon PowerShot E1 that I like, too.
- Rochelle
Yeah, Rochelle, I'd like Nikons just because of Akiva too, but there's my brother's ego to think about.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, then I think Robert should choose AND buy the camera for you. :)
- Rochelle
Everything I've read suggests that it's a personal preference. Admittedly, I haven't researched much because I was lucky enough to receive a Nikon as a gift before I really jumped into the search, so I'm a Nikon user by default. I do appreciate that several of my friends are Nikon users because I can get great advice on lenses and usage. My friends who have Canons love them, through, and I've been very happy with my Canon point-and-shoot.
- joey
In a word, no...no real compelling reasons with any real regard to the two. I bought my 5D because the school where I work has tons of Canon lenses I can check out for free, which...is a big deal. Glass costs a lot.
- Derrick
I have an old Rebel 2000 you can buy cheap ;P
- xero
Why did I go Canon? Canon's full frame sensor camera costs $3,000. Nikons costs $5,000.
- Robert Scoble
Alex: if you wait for your wedding you might find that going with Canon is a better choice! ;-)
- Robert Scoble
I interviewed Brad Mangin of Sports Illustrated tonight and he was using a Canon. He also was complaining about it. So there! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Alex, I bought a Nikon D90 ~6 mos ago and love it. But I have to admit that most people I know who have owned both seem to prefer Canon.
- Doug Kaye
I feel like I stopped into FF just for a second to see this thread. Quick answer, no, nothing really. I honestly do not think I have anything to add that hasn't been said, but the 2 most important ideas to keep in mind when buying a new DSLR... #1 - Personal preference and comfort with camera layout and aesthetics, #2 - Access to good glass and gear. If you already have gear, it's nice...
more...
- Justin Korn
I went with Canon XT Rebel, older model on sale at FRY's, 8-megapixels is decent quality, Canon lenses are great and the supplied 18-70mm lens rocks, also with a T-mount adapter. (thread-mount) I was able to use the 400mm telephoto from my Canon A1 35mm film camera in Manual mode for wildlife and moon photos. Liked the F2.8 Canon 70-200 zoom but a bit pricey (even without Image Stabilization!)
- Nicholas Chase
In the past I had always say that you should checkout what your immediate friends have around you. Are they Canon or Nikon owners? Less so on trading lenses; as these are usually too precious for your friend to lend you. It is more like what Justin mentioned about. It has to do with gear advise and setup. BTW: I recently (this year) became a Canon-man and now taking the expert advises and investing on L lenses, so I guess I will be Canon-man for some time.

Live now, the Gillmor Gang with Steve Gillmor, Robert Scoble, Jason Calacanis, Mike Arrington, Loren Feldman, Hugh McLeod. http://live.twit.tv Dicuss here.
you can always catch up with stuff in your RSS Reader, but sometimes a great link to something either through Twitter or FF will pass by without knowing that it ever existed, maybe both services are very useful if you keep up with it on an hourly basis or something, but RSS FTW!
- Ahmed
I doubt Winer is pissed (no about this) he knows RSS isn't going anywhere
- Phil Maxwell
RSS is dead when people stop using Google Reader.
- Phillip Stewart
I view hundreds of items per day and share the best. RSS powers all the best tools, including all major portals and aggregation services. This is of course silly.
- Louis Gray
Sometimes everyone wants to come on... and I don't like turning people away
- Tina Chase Gillmor
But I still think Google can filter and recommend items from RSS much better in Google Reader
- Charbax
Steve is right. Office is dead. No one can justify paying 200 dollars to edit text.
- Steven (optionshiftk)
It'll take some reliable, widely adopted push standard to kill off RSS. Twitter's not that.
- Ken Sheppardson
Everyone on Friendfeed is using an aggregator. :o
- rob friedman
100 percent of windows users I know still use Office
- Ryan Gerritsen
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
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
- Gunnyman™
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 about too many people on the call
- russellcoleman
talking about someone when they aren't there to respond is incredibly LOW class
- Gunnyman™
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
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
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
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
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
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
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)
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
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
Tina, we're on the same helical wave length! :)
- Micah
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
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
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
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 Walker
They really do need a sponsor maybe Plantronics
- jackygreen
NEW build of Seesmic Desktop is out and Facebook is now integrated.! + you can unfollow people direct from Seesmic Desktop and lots of other new things.. \o/ love it.!
- @LarsenTweet
I can't figure out how to get rid of the left column in Seesmic Desktop
- Jesse Stay
This version of Seesmic Desktop is definitely better than the last two. They keep improving bit-by-bit. Still like Twhirl better though, for now. =)
- Wilford Tibbetts
yes, yes i do and i am a much better person now. thank you Qbat
- Jeff Gignac
I'd like them to trim Seesmic desktop down a bit, that's why I like Twhirl, it doesn't take my entire desktop.
- Colin
Guys, do you really like Seesmic Desktop? It seem to try to be Friendfeed. The new FB integration doesn't even allow to like, comment or even read comments FB statuses!
- Jérôme
Colin - Yeah, that's also another reason why I like Twhirl. It's compact.
- Wilford Tibbetts
Jeff: Ok, no problem, just wondered, some people really don't like it.
- Daniel Rowley
Twhirl has nicer sounds than tweet deck too. Quite soothing
- lawrence kenski
It may be because of the FB API, but if people really wanted to have real time and services integration, why not just move to Friendfeed? And FF needs no download, no CPU, has a great mobile page, etc. So why?
- Jérôme
Kenski - Oh yeah! That dang TD chirping is rather annoying. I use TD sometimes and I have to go back to Twhirl within 5-10 min. lol
- Wilford Tibbetts
modern AMERICAN media. Fox, MSNBC, bla bla bla. Over here I have no clue what beefs the biggest media outlets have.
- Jackson Pollock
Well said Steve, we are all subjective, we are subjective beings!
- Colin
why would you want your society to be laid out as a left right, right wrong, black white ballgame where for one to be right, the other has to be wrong. it's such an american concept and it creates more conflicts than it debates
- Jackson Pollock
Publish everything, filter later. We're good with the publishing, not so much with the filtering.
- Cliff Gerrish
Pollock: Tell that to Burr and Hamilton.
- Jason Nelson
I agree Leo, unfortunately objective reporting seems to have been pushed aside for a more opinionated, "entertaining" news source. It seems bizarre to have bias when it comes to reporting the facts.
- Daniel Rowley
Real time won't help for facts gathering online. We'll need lots of time.
- Jérôme
Pollock - Not everyone can be right all the time. Humanity is a creature of conflict(among other things) and I like it that way. Through conflict we advance and grow. 60% of all tech, and advancements have come from conflict.
- Wilford Tibbetts
One thing I don't like about many tech news sites is the dominance of op/ed in articles that should be straight reporting of news. But the other extreme of sites that just regurgitate press releases is bothersome as well.
- Jim Metzendorf
Look at CNN who uses 20% of their on-air time to talk about how they're gathering information: "wow, we're using webcams, mobiles, twitter, and we're "live"; we have 2 reporters there... wait, no connection... oh, it's back! Do you hear me? So you're there, where it's happening right now, and we're "live"...*sigh*
- Jérôme
wilford: I just clinch in horror watching american news media. Everything is so bias to one side or another. It's not that I can't disagree with certain people or certain news media outlets, but as a kid grows up, at one point he is more or less forced to define himself as a Fox viewer or an MSNBC viewer. Now fight eachother. It's not there in other societies like it is in the US.
- Jackson Pollock
Flipo: Great point... And MSM doesn't even pretend to be objective anymore.
- Jason Nelson
you can teach journalism in the schools. You can tech people to gather the facts and present them. You can't always teach people to think and share their ideas and thoughts
- Tina Chase Gillmor
There's a place for both, but it's important not to mistake opinion for fact. It seems all too common for people to believe anything they're told. How can it be right to be influenced in your opinions by which news channel you watch.
- Daniel Rowley
Pollock - Oh, our news media is defintely more into airing the extremes instead of the more common Center, politically. I wish they wouldn't do that, but it brings in ratings, so they try to invite guests they KNOW will be annoying. lol...
- Wilford Tibbetts
leo has a great story about richard stallman for this conversation. he hung himself bigtime on the screensavers
- Jackson Pollock
Tibbetts: News media develops personas to market to and works to not offend imaginary sensibilities.
- Jason Nelson
Wilford. Yes. A lack of regulation lets one person or one company take over a certain percentage of the media to spread their word to the people.
- Jackson Pollock
Kyle: Agrees. I don't care for the Seesmic Desktop either.
- Jason Hansen
Pollock - I'm wary of "regulating" News Media. It smacks of govt interfering in our First Amendment Rights to me. I'm very against that idea. To say the least. lol...
- Wilford Tibbetts
Nelson - True. Personally, I think people need to be told the truth cold, hard, and bluntly. People need to be offended. Which, also means I sorta like the annoying far-Left far-Right bickering on the news. LOL!
- Wilford Tibbetts
Hansen - I've switched back to Twhirl for now. Seesmic Desktop has gotten better, but it's still to 'cluttered', I guess.
- Wilford Tibbetts
Just tried Seesmic again for about 5 minutes...went back to Tweetdeck
- Darren Rowley
Tried Tweetdeck, went back to Friendfeed ;)
- Jérôme
Wilford. Well that's what differs Americans from others.They love quoting their constitution made 250 years ago, and not look at how the rest of the world does it, and has been doing it for 500 years. Government regulation is not your enemy. In certain countries (most western developed countries), government owns certain parts of the infrastructure and makes sure it's on the right path. Here, government owns a telephony company, the biggest TV-network, the oil (and therefor oil production). It's fantastic
- Jackson Pollock
I'd love to see people integrate Microsofts FeedSync for 2-way feeds.
- Jamie
I don't know. I just find that if government controls some part of the infrastructure that that is communist and evil and taking away my rights. Am I better off with a cost cutting, profit making privately held company owning my hospital? I just don't think so
- Jackson Pollock
Pollock - I disagree. I do use my brain and just don't quote my Constitution without using it. I want my govt as far away from regulating my Rights as possible. I don't mind them improving roads, and the like, but I believe a Capitalist society will improve things just find without having govt owning bits of businesses.
- Wilford Tibbetts
They'll migrate? They took years to move from Hotmail to Gmail :(
- Jérôme
Nelson - Yeah, the Authoritarian vs Anarchist would be fun to watch. LOL!
- Wilford Tibbetts
these guys all sound like birds flying through the air
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Can Mike explain why Friendfeed can't win?
- Jérôme
Pollock: We need to "retailify" healthcare in US not institutionalize more bureaucracy.
- Jason Nelson
I hear him repeating that, he probably knows a lot about services' successes, but I need some solid arguments.
- Jérôme
Conner - I hear ya. Only reason I'm here is for the chat and then I'm off. lol
- Wilford Tibbetts
Wilford. But I live in a capitalist country! That government controls hospitals, schools (all levels), transport, energy production, communication and oil/gas production doesn't mean that I have any less rights or any less freedom or anything else. They're one player in a market of many. They provide in many cases the line where competition happens, and make sure that two privately held companies don't jack up prices
- Jackson Pollock
Jerome, probably because of what you just said about hotmail to gmail. Friendfeed's user base is so small compared to Facebook or even Twitter.
- Laura Norvig
Jérôme: I think it's to do with user saturation, the number of people able and willing to use Facebook for example, will far outweigh those for FriendFeed.
- Daniel Rowley
Pollock - Meh, I prefer govt stay out most things. The Federal Govt, anyway.
- Wilford Tibbetts
Pollock: Has a monopoly in energy production and distribution retarded innovation?
- Jason Nelson
Email isn't a model -- 90% of the system is spam. The model should be spamless.
- Cliff Gerrish
Say if I were to break my arm right now. I can go to the government held, national hospital and have it checked, x-rayed and cast before the night was through. Or, I could go a little further down the road and have the exact same procedure done at a cost, with perhaps slightly better service. The point is that nationally held institutes don't have to mean bureaucracy and bad service, it can be just as good a competitor as a private company
- Jackson Pollock
Pollock - Maybe. But I'm not that hot on the idea of socialism in the first place, so maybe that's coloring my viewpoint. LOL!
- Wilford Tibbetts
Same thing for the news media. I could turn on channel 1, and see the channel that is owned by the government. Get neutral, commercial-free news reporting. Or I can pay a fee and get channel 2, which is privately held, and still neutral, with commercials. 99% of the population has both, and 99% watches both
- Jackson Pollock
Wilford; yes, I realize that's a popular viewpoint over there :)
- Jackson Pollock
Pollock: Competition between government and private? Instead of TARP wish US would have thought about that.
- Jason Nelson
Did Kevin just "shh" Mr. Gillmor! Oh, goodness.
- Daniel Rowley
Verified w/ credit card? Isn't that a bit 1st-world-centric?
- Nick in Manila
Nelson - Agreed. So long as it's competitive and not a demand by govt to do it this way or not at all, I'm fine with it. TARP was definitely a mistake, imo.
- Wilford Tibbetts
Dave Winer just tweeted that he's listening to GG and it's the same old thing. Really?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina - What does he mean by "same old thing"?
- Wilford Tibbetts
Tibbetts: Agreed. And I don't think it's a long-term solution. More of a quasi-micro-financing short-term stimulus.
- Jason Nelson
Nelson - That's what I'm thinking as well. I would prefer they do a long-term solution, but too many Americans want a 'quick-fix' instead of something more stable and long lasting.
- Wilford Tibbetts
Dave Winer says all of you on the Gillmor Gang are missing everything :-)
- Jamie
Well, we're in a very special point in time right now. The reason my country was not very hurt by the downfall was because we don't live on credit-cards and mortgages. But essentially, yes. Why would the US be AGAINST socializing medicine, when every other country runs great that way. You can pay for the top-of-the-line in medicine over here too, but you don't have to. Very few people do, because there isn't that big a difference between that and the norm
- Jackson Pollock
Tina - Meh, I'll just listen to the Gillmore Gang instead. =D

PeoplePond has an identity verification service. From their homepage "PeoplePond's identity verification service will give your audience confidence knowing your profile and online assets are yours and not someone posing as you spoofing them."
- Neil Simon
i don't want to see it at the top of the page, google should create a separte profile search only page like it has images

I set myname.com to point to my Twitter last week.
- Colin
Tina, I don't like sushi. i like fish, though
- Karoli
and the social features on youtube are weak
- Jamie
Google doesn't get social. not yet. but they're working on it
- Karoli
it just so happens that the content is always going to be "social" in that people want to share the stuff they find.
- Jamie
Yelp can be gamed just like anything else
- Karoli
compare social features and digg is the winner. it only means so much, comparing accounts and hits are way bigger/better benchmarks for social communities. it's all about the ads and the influence
- Jackson Pollock
i used yelp last weekend. did better with google maps
- Karoli
Twitter was born out of the facebook status updates. they wanted to do it on mobile. and to non-facebook friends
- Karoli
are any of them offering a professional model and succeeding? no? none of them are really winning, just waiting for the next funding from whoever..
- Terry O'Fee
Need to connect old media (movies, sports, journalism) with order management and directory services. I see TLC show on renovation and order the room through local contractor in blue and oak.
- Jason Nelson
its an interesting phenomenon because the kids were on Facebook before the tech scene jumped aboard on the launch of Platform.
- Jamie
the tech scene were the late adopters in this respect. just like they were late with myspace
- Jamie
Jamie - No, but it's beginning to. Slowly, but it's gaining ground I think.
- Wilford Tibbetts
Some things just never change. Not even the people, eh?
- Doug Kaye
Robert's camera (laptop) is swiveling with him and giving me motion sickness
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Well Leo's name came from the user requested; This Week in Geek, which he changed, and the entire thing happened on the air on TWiT 4-5.
- Jackson Pollock
Anyone know how to stop FF from posting 3 times whenever I make a comment? lol...
- Wilford Tibbetts
It's so fun to see what Scoble has become. I remember being 15 back in 2004 and watching him walk around with his camcorder on channel9 talking to people. He loves talking to people. When TWiT started, I followed them both, and to see Leo and him come together for the first time on TWiT 59.

I just save me friend from the death of his MacBook keyboard death, set him up with a USB keyboard, and he is really happy with it. I told him to never clean his computer by directly spraying it with cleaner, he didn't listen, resulting in him killing his MacBook keyboard, he has learn a valuable lesson about how to properly clean a computer. Unplug from wall, remove battery, and only! use a damp soft cloth to clean it.
- Beverley Solis
personally, I think the most valuable resource I've seen from FriendFeed is the live, transcribing of podcasting more or less. Searching audio is a pain, and if I'm trying to figure out what podcast and what episode had a certain topic, I can search the chat that went on. Crowdsourcing at its best
- Jackson Pollock
One thing about "likes" and adding meta-data through clicks in any way, like Digg as well, not everyone actually hits "like" or "Digg", and that skews things
- Colin
FriendFeed needs to make the leap and become the place that everyone uses to post info (like many of us) rather than use it as a feed aggregator.
- Lawrence Di Stefano
A saved search turned into an RSS feed turns pull into push.
- Laura Norvig
Scoble can stop anytime he wants ... yeah, right.
- Laura Norvig
Doug; my 15 year old brother is so in love with the Gnomedex episode of ITConversations, where Woz spoke. He's an aspiring electro engineer, and listens to it over and over and over again, just like his brother did 4 years ago:)
- Jackson Pollock
quite disappointed at the Pre's media solution
- Jamie
Jackson: that's weird. :-) I was at that presentation.
- Robert Scoble
Mike: "The only reason I care about Flash is video." Agreed. Well, MP3, too, for us audio guys.
- Doug Kaye
Trying to get the core iPhone base to switch to something else, is no different than getting an iPod user to switch. Don't forget brand, fashion object, experience, relevance. The iPhone is much more than something you can touch and review, it's got it's own whole mythology.
- Jackson Pollock
Doug; key features of flash / as compared with mp3 for audio? I see for example Leo doing both on twit.tv
- Jackson Pollock
I think Steve needs to come up with two endings for the show. The "false" end and the "real" end. Or maybe we should sign off ever.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Microsoft put Flash everywhere -- it wasn't Adobe.
- Cliff Gerrish
Tina, the show started when he signed off.
- Cliff Gerrish
I'll bet. I use OSX, and W7 pretty much daily. At work I use an 24" iMac with Fusion hosting a W7 Virtual machine so I can use Outlook for Exchange email/calendar
- Don Bonaddio
The audio quality is not good on your Bitgravity stream. It sounds like people over modulate at times. The Stickam stream seems better to me.

Used Seesmic Desktop since it was released and I must say, its FUN when we can give feedback to team seesmic and you get answer from them almost at once, AND the best: they try to fix it for you
- @LarsenTweet
OffTopic: Is it just Larsen that is displayd after my messages? or Larsen aka Qbat ?
- @LarsenTweet
Hope they can keep memory usage down to DestroyTwitter's levels
- Manuel Mas
@ Joseph Zitt I want to replace my eee 701 with an eee 901 it has loads more memory and battery life.
- Aidan Mann
Until the UI is fixed, and it's off AIR, I won't use it. Native apps, FTW!
- Daniel Brusilovsky
I downloaded the last version of SD and it overwrote all of the user lists I had worked so hard to create. Until that is fixed, I won't be using SD for more than updates. I posted my feedback to Seesmic's user forum and no one responded. Lovely.
- Rachel Polish
I went back to try it out but I am going to stick with TweetDeck. I think Seesmic needs to learn from TweekDeck.
- Rohit
Agreed! I've just created a userlist called ScobleFeed, it only has one user... ;-)
- Luke Gregory
Rachel, that user list bug should be totally fixed now. Daniel, you have no idea what it takes to create and maintain native apps as advanced as SD on both PC and Mac, I talked to Evernote today and they have LOTS of people to be able to do that.
- Loic Le Meur
Great job, Loic! It's great to have prompt response on our feedback and questions.
- Gerald Neo
That's just because Seesmic got preference by Facebook to present and see the OpenStream code before TweetDeck. Seesmic got a lucky, free head start. I'm happy for Loic in that matter, but TweetDeck will launch the same stuff, I'm pretty sure. Props to Loic for keeping good relationships with the Facebook team to be able to get opportunities like this.
- Jesse Stay
I am still super impressed with Tweetie desktop.
- Daniel Zarick
Thanks, Loic! I will check it out again and am excited about the Facebook integration.
- Rachel Polish
Now all we need is Friendfeed integration and I'd love it.
- Brandon Mendelson
Giving it another try, but on initial start-up, I am still seeing some of the «issues» that have been irking me since the beginning: too much wasted space in the UI, CPU consistently over 5 to 10% usage, refresh problems lists not getting update or notifications not appearing & my twitter account icon not showing. I will continue to run it for a few days see how...
- Thomas V. Fischer
They got me too. Until tweetdeck does multiple profiles!
- robwest
from Nambu
Seemic Desktop is a great example of iterative/customer focused development. A few more iteration and they might get me to switch from Tweetie (which is an amazing application)
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Does Seesmic Desktop suffer from the same memory leak issues as TweetDeck?
- Chris Poulson
TweetDeck is a lot better lately. But I don't care, I run TweetDeck/Seesmic on its own laptop that gets rebooted once a day. So steal my memory, please!
- Robert Scoble
What memory leaks does TweetDeck have? I run it on my Mac and never had any issues.
- Joe Lima
Joe: if you are following lots of people, like I am, it used to leak memory until it would eventually freeze my machine forcing a reboot. It no longer does that. So far neither does Seesmic's new desktop.
- Robert Scoble
I'm getting tired of changing clients every week. I'll stick with Nambu until more dust settles.
- Doug Kaye
polizeros: you can make Seesmic look very similar to Tweetdeck by dragging things to create columns. Until I got that I didn't like it as much either.
- Robert Scoble
why is it a "seesmic" desktop while it has twitter, facebook... but not seesmic? it's got a cute UI but less features than twhirl used to...
- Jean-Charles VERDIE
Excellent! I was just getting ready to switch.
- Kelly Williams
Can't wait for the FriendFeed integration coming soon!
- Garin Kilpatrick
I really enjoyed the cinematography in Helvetica - even though I was watching it only on my MacBook Pro's screen via Netflix Instant. The story started getting a bit boring for me about an hour in. Overall, a nice experience - but not over the top. How about for you?
- Scott Loftesness
It was gorgeous in Blu-Ray. I'm sort of a font geek and I love the post-modern stuff, so all the miscellaneous shots and graphics were cool. Personally, I did get into the 'Helvetica is great' vs. 'Helvetica sucks' debate. It's a good way to show off the Blu-Ray and HD technologies, but definitely not for everyone.
- Doug Kaye
trust me, it's better than "udder scum"
- Veronica
I agree Veronica, Monster Cable is SCUM. Two coat hangers and duct tape work better than their cabling...
- Allen Harkleroad
Not sure which is the greater scam, Monster or Bose.
