We all try to show our best side to the outside world, particularly when it's with regard to business. But is it really disingenuous to show a happy face any more than it would be to show a scowl? Neither represents you or the collective us 100% of the time. Does this mean we need a chart with all our moods on it to greet potential clients? :) I do like the arched brow. hehe

Sorry to say this, Louis, but I will attempt to run away if I see someone coming to me bearing that smile you have on the second photo. I'd be like, "Darnit, here's another salesman wanting to pressure me into buying some thingamajig again..." No offense, Louis. But even for marketing, I really think you can do without the oh-so-friendly smile :-)

could anybody describe how to create such a picture? thx
- Arnaud Fischer
Arnaud, see http://friendfeed.com/mokarga... for tips. And Josh correct me if I'm wrong, he uploaded to Twitpic the same animated GIF 9 times, then created a friendfeed post and attached all 9 images by URL (instead of choosing images from his hard drive). Images coming from twitpic, soup.io, etc will animate, but photos hosted by friendfeed itself won't.

David Pogue neatly noted that the reason for the sensitivity regarding Apple is because of the near-religious war between fans of Apple and Microsoft. Other companies (Google, Yahoo, etc.) don't provoke that fervor.

Now, presuming that John Dvorak was listening to this, how will he respond to David's defense. I hope that he will admit the attack and note that it became perhaps over stated as it escalated.

The annoying part of Canadian ISPs is that in 2004-2005, they went to court, against the CRIA ((RIAA north)) to defend file-sharers. Now that there's a saturation (~90%) of highspeed access... well now it's time to say poor me because "our network can't take it" -- even though CEO of Shaw said: "We have a very big pipe that is great for things like peer-to-peer and Bit Torrent. People love our network because it is so fast for those things."

Glad David Pogue got the chance to rebut. As Leo noted when it was done to him by Michael Arrington, attacking a tech reviewer's credibility that way can be very damaging.

Fair enough. I mostly just think it's really odd that Leo let the panelists last week tear into David that way (and joined in), when he (rightly) slammed Mike Arrington for questioning his own credibility, and had no problem just now with actually plugging Andy's book on MBW! Now, I have no problem with Andy being a columnist and writing a book, but if Leo has a problem with David,...

I enjoyed your inteview w/ Pogue. The problem with his reviews is that they sound like they could come straight from Apple's marketing department. Pogue counters that he has given bad reviews to a few Apple products. Here are some specific examples of how his bias manifests itself. Snow Leopard: The product breaks many applications that professionals use on their Mac, yet Pogue recommends the upgrade as a 'no brainer'. That just makes no sense at all.
- John Bruder
Another example is his review of the Blackberry Storm. In it, David mentions that it's a world phone, but then goes on to criticize the outrageous prices Verizon charges for roaming. Well, I checked and AT&T charges are about the same, but he never mentions the high price of international roaming in his glowing iPhone review. These are just a few subtle ways that make David's review of Apple's products sound great, and their competitors, less so.

- John Wright
I made this site as kind of a joke kind of serious ... http://deathtoie6.com , it has been popular and controversial
- John Wright
However, this speaks to the problems that sites had with framing of sites with advertising by others some years ago. Google will be reaping benefit (advertising) from the content on some else's site. That was considered not desirable before and should be now. While others can comment about you on their own site, framing your site is getting unearned benefit from your work.
- JR Holmes
Great point from Gina on the Chrome Frame: IE 6 is still the most used browser and standard in many businesses. Not so sneaky way to help Google Wave get early traction as a messaging tool coordinated with Google Apps in the enterprise.

Yahoo owns a lot of valuable internet properties, but they really aren't doing the best with what they have. They don't seem to have a focused vision, or they haven't in the past.

Seems like poor management/leadership, other than that Yahoo isn't bad.
- John Wright
@KQT Yeah they're definitely trying to increase "mindshare" with it but I mean they own it and it's such a small change. It's not a feature change, it really doesn't affect the value of the service. I don't see why anyone made an uproar but that's just me :)

We’ve done a lot of work to optimize power usage, but if you prefer to save battery life, you can always turn off push in your phone’s settings and fetch mail every 30 or 60 minutes instead."

Android is under Apache 2.0 and GPL license. And Apache 2.0 as the BSD license allows to publish closed source derived from open source. So it's a good idea not to talk "Open Source" but to look at the license in any single case. This example btw shows that the GPL is the only true open source license. ;)

Switching browsers is a big deal for many people (change is bad), but installing the latest Flash plugin so that you can play games, watch videos, etc is normal. This is why the "Chrome Frame" plugin is a great idea. Now they need to add some "must have" features to HTML5.

- Bill Strathearn
"and then you just show them what is basically just a plain old website" No, using it for plain old websites would be annoying, but there are uses -- like Canvas animations -- to which there is no good plugin-less alternative. So then it becomes the choice between different plugins. (Of course Flash is more widely distributed at the moment, but some developers may prefer Canvas + JavaScript.)

- Goofy2
You certainly have a sharp eye!
- Xea Baudoin
Thank you Xea. I sort of landed next to it though. I was laying on the grass watching the kids run around, when I turned over to lie on my belly and found myself face-to-face with... that. So I did what I always do and stuck my Pannie FZ28 in its face and commanded it to say cheese!

It's definitely quiet in here. No denying it.

The only movement I see in FriendFeed right now is imported from other services. The sense of community is slipping away right in front of our eyes.

I still see lots on FF, though I'm not hear as much as I'd like since I'm trying to do the job search thing...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina, it's not only you. I see it even in influencers. There's less commenting happening and likes as well.
- Jorge Escobar
Wow Jorge, doom-say much? :-)

I just don't see it. My FF moves just as fast as ever with major conversations.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I hear you my Ffriend. But sometimes it's good to have a lull in the flow. It washes away the chaff and provides lot's of 'dead air' time, which may inspire/drive to insanity those that were not-so-chatty before. A fresh class of 'posters' with different ways of thinking and stinking. And when the lull is done with us, and the alumni come back for a joyous homecoming, we are all better Ffriends and better people from the experience.

Maybe it's not you, it's me...

I'm still not seeing this supposed slowdown either. There are even more threads I can't keep up with, all the same people I've seen in my feed are there along with a ton of new people. The only slowdown I see are from the people who have started school or new jobs recently.
- Admiral Anika
I'm probably seeing a backlash of my own social inactivity. Was very much disconnected for like a month, due to work. Who knows the reason, just meant to express it.
- Jorge Escobar
I see lots of recent conversation: http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Bruce Lewis
In fact, you see more. The bottom of my page has a comment from 23 minutes ago; for yours it's only 8 minutes ago: http://friendfeed.com/search... I think you're just taking a dim view of things.

It's quiet in here... too quiet. {cue ominous music}

@Bruce you may be right. I need a Milky Way, stat!
- Jorge Escobar
RAPatton, that's a good point too. People are participating in *this* thread to prove me wrong. :: Looks around in paranoid manner ::
- Jorge Escobar
Of course I'm right! Go get that candy bar, NOW.
- Bruce Lewis
I see conversation when I engage with images and/or I bring everyone from Twitter over here.
- Robert Scoble
RAP++ for the Airplane quote.
- Andrew C
There is also a spreading out effect. But some posts still get lots of engagement. My baby one got more than 500 likes since Saturday night so someone is still hanging out here!
- Robert Scoble
@Robert true... I was one of them. Congrats again!
- Jorge Escobar
I have stopped listening to some big inside baseball names and now just focus on the more personal interactions. While my feed is slower in that sense, it's 5x more rich. It's funny what happens when you stop focusing on what is expected to be paid attention to and focus on that which you truely care about.

The one thing I have noticed is that @scobelizer's stuff gets far fewer comments and discussion now that he only posts from Twitter. I know personally I read a fraction of the stuff of his that I used to.
- Kenton
Great stuff Johhny!
- Jorge Escobar
Wrong! #denial

Well, I don't know what time it is where You are, but I'd expect quiet during working hours on a weekday.

If Twitter had launched at TC50, could it have won? Would it have been seen as a utility, a feature, or a business? Depends on the demo.

Yammer won. So wouldn't it be easy to guess that Twitter would previously have won?
- Louis Gray
but Yammer came after Twitter - paving the way for understanding what this new kind of micro blogging was all about. Ev asked a related question and doesn't think Twitter could have won: http://friendfeed.com/evhead...
- Adam Kazwell
I think rather than asking about the demo, I'd wonder what can TC do to get more revolutionary, instead of evolutionary, companies to apply/make it through the pipeline?
