Seesmic, Friendfeed and Twitter next to each other in a test version of Twhirl. Adding tons of Friendfeed experience improvements in there, Marco rocks.

okay, so FF and Twitter are in the latest? but not Seemic correct?

- Adrian
from twhirl
yes... when?

@LouPaglia - correct, Seesmic is not integrated with Twirl desktop app yet

Steve, you should interact more directly on Friendfeed. Most of your stream is Backtype comments and tweets replies: they're very difficult to follow and to discuss about.

what about having different FF rooms associated with different twitter accounts? It would be nice if FF setup all the twitter accounts you have and you select which ones to post @. Like a drop down. I am also confused how to set this up with posterous as I have published all over the show.

Brett: not much to say except I took up running cause the jocks were always trying to beat me up. They once tried to tape me to a tree. They got my brother instead (not Alex). Actually I got into running because of my middle school science teacher at Hyde Jr. High, Mike Mister. Mr. Mr. is what we called him. Anyway, there's no secret to running marathons, you just have to run a LOT.

By the way, this was the first time I used FriendFeed's photo feature. Very nice!

Great series, so cute! Our little guy just turned 2 and he sure does keep us running as well; wish I could bottle that energy! Our daughter is almost 14 and it is amazing the difference in technology we are using in "documenting" their lives growing up. Most of what we have of our daughter until she was 6 is plain old photos that will take us a while to digitize. With our son,...

Our daughter was born a few months before Milan (seriously, playdate next time we're back in the Santa Cruz area), but we have such blinders on that I saw this pic and thought "wow, how did that kid get so big already?" Oh. Right. He's two. Hope you're having as much fun as we are!

Awesome pics of the young scobleizer. Robert it's never too late to pick up running again. Although I've fallen in love with good old walking (can multitask better at 4mph), I can see the addiction to jogging for hours. That 100miler had years of training on you, no reason to be ashamed.

The Navy is getting into Twitter and friendfeed and other social media and wanted us to get an upclose look at the ship and what 5,000 Navy sailors do while at sea. They know they can't do public tours so they bring people on board who can show off what they do to other people. Hope I did OK as your proxy.

Jim: it's always been a dream of mine too. I've gone to many an airshow and always wanted to get on deck to see them shoot off a plane. The fact that I got to witness about 40 launches, a good many of them at night (those pictures didn't come out so well) was just a great thrill. Keep dreaming, sometimes dreams come true!
- Robert Scoble
I spent 10 years in the Air Force as a weather forecaster and I always loved to set out on the flight line and watch the jets take off.

Click on each video, then make sure that you click on the "HD" button to see them in HD goodness. I was using a Canon 5D MKII with a 16-35 mm F2.8 L series lens for these because we were so close (literally feet away). I also had a Rode microphone on my camera to try to get better audio (although the audio doesn't do the actual experience justice and at home you can't smell the jet fuel fumes).
- Robert Scoble
from Bookmarklet
Seems that sound is an issue with the Canon 5D MKII, anything else that you noticed that one should know about?
- courtney benson
Reason the sound is total bonkers is that it's so loud (jet engines, right...) that you get the equivalent of +140dB or smth, where +-0dB is the absolute maximum without distorsion. A compressor would do the trick, but that's not something I see Canon installing by default. Let's just say the Canon 5D MkII sound recording works fine in most "normal" circumstances...

Robert -- while not a one place checklist, visit http://forums.digitalpoint.com/. I've implemented some of their recommendations thus far and I feel like it's already making a difference.
- Aanarav Sareen
I've recently heard Google changed their algorithm, plus with aggregating sites indexing for us (FriendFeed, Facebook, Twitter), there are many outlets and methods of people reaching our media -- that is, if we remember to segregate to keep various audiences interested. ie: staying away from ping.fm like services.

I'll let other folks suggest additional outside info. There's everything from Eric Goldman who talks about legal aspects of search http://blog.ericgoldman.org/ to SEO by the Sea http://www.seobythesea.com/ which talks about patents related to SEO/SEM/search. It's a really broad field. It's almost like asking "What are some good sources for information about blogging?" :)
- Matt Cutts
What a timely question Robert :) I'm just studying up on this whole subject for my own site, and didn't really know where to start. Nice

Yes, another vote for SEOmoz here. This checklist is pretty comprehensive: http://www.seomoz.org/dp...

Must read SEO blog: http://www.thegooglecache.com/
- Mark Traphagen
"Does anyone have a good checklist?" We wrote an SEO beginner's guide at http://googlewebmastercentral.... that I proofread before it went live. You can also do searches like [wordpress seo guide] and there are several good resources in the search results.
- Matt Cutts
Mona, Yes. something like 90% of all traffic starts with a search engine, so unless you are a destination site ,you rely on search to send your traffice. There are times when RSS Subs can be more valuable, like when you are doing loyalty building, but generally NEW users are finding you through a social media or through search. More people are in search than social media..Ergo its still relevant
- Brandon Wirtz
Aanarav, I would recommend some caution regarding Digital Point. Some of the more aggressive stuff that gets pitched in corners of DP can get you in trouble.

- Alexander Ainslie
This post and more importanly the timeline of the replies are in and of themselves useful as a measure of which SEO/SEOm firms are paying attention online. Not that this is an automatic measure of capability or quality, but you gotta question how good any site is that doesn't link drop on this particular post, be it a self drop or otherwise, given who the author was/is. I*'m, amazed there haven't been more. This might be tell us a thing or two about FF and the SEO community.
- Eric Ward
Just a comment regarding Digital Point, they commonly recommend greyhat/blackhat techniques, and offer lots of stupid stuff for a price. The same advice can be had for free on BlackHatWorld.com. Information wants to be free. ;)
- Lee Ingram
http://www.seobook.com with Aaron I rate highly, digital-point is probably a good place for short term success on splogs but nothing sustainable long term for a proper business.
- Mark Edmondson
If this is about your blog vs SEO in general, that's a bit different. For blog SEO you might try Aaron's lengthy article on SEO for bloggers, http://www.seobook.com/blogger... Joost DeValk's Blog http://www.yoast.com or Matt Cutts favorite commentator: http://www.wolf-howl.com

Eric, thanks for your offerings. I think that maybe the lack of SEO people here may be down to the fact that we are all working hard implementing all these techniques for our clients. There are plenty of SEO companies who merely do the work, rather than write down what they are doing and share with the rest. http://dragonsearchmarketing.com/blog... , the shop I work at part time is running really hard right now, with 3 new hires in the last 2 months.
- Mark Zip
As to the reflection on the Ff community, perhaps that is because FF is bleeding edge and most work in the trenches of SEO is being done short of the bleeding edge, where there are more "regular" folks.

I tried to use the "Set up custom gadget" to include an iGoogle gadget, but it didn't work. :( Also, if you click on the little arrow in the upper-right-hand corner of the GFC widget, it takes you to a custom view using the "canvas.html" file.. but at least on my site, it is super-generic.
- Phil G
I noticed that too. And I had to edit my canvas.html to change the hard coded Site Name to be the name of my site.
- Don Campbell
Nice article Bwana. I'm only going for the 1st way. In my opinion items 2 & 3 seem to compete a bit with functionality that should stay on the site, but it's clear how Google wants you to get that on to your profile. More decentralization...oy vey.

Friendfeed.
- Timo Heuer
FF3, despite constant crashes. Basically for the add-ons, otherwise I'd switch to Safari given the apparent instability of version 3. Also use Google Reader constantly, FriendFeed, Twitter, Sphinn and StumbleUpon.

Twitterbar may be a neat idea, but Twhirl is enough. Laterloop is also a neat idea, but Mentos from the same developer is more powerful. Firefox: I wait for the final release to be out. Friendfeed? Here we are, obviously.

Being a freelancer who keeps track of hours across a variety of computers, my vote goes to slimtimer.com.

Another new service I use all the time is Skitch.com. Great desktop tool I use often when making comps plus it has very easy image sharing using their service or your own web hosting.

I am using Friendfeed, Brightkite and Mento. And I am addicted to Fluid, which is more an app than a service, but the combination with Friendfeed makes it great.

The danger of scanning, as we're all aware, is misinterpretation. I thought Steve wote: what new services are you using that SUCK?

Google apps, Twitter, Flickr.

Firefox 3, Friendfeed, FFFFOUND, Mento and Plurk - the last one just because there is a tab open. I don't like the navigation of it.
