Do you ever find yourself reading the Wikipedia entry for... let's say 'Snoop Dogg' and then think "What in the hell am I doing???"

According to http://vanelsas.wordpress.com/2008... Friendfeed has the wrong kind of users if it wants to go mainstream. Scoble is the kiss of death. :)

Inefficient "sync" instructions?
- ⓞnor
@ⓞnor I suppose he is referring to halting program execution at certain points to ensure an order among memory accesses/data mutating instructions. In general situations this type of ordering would need to be handled in a more conservative way than if geared towards a particular CPU.
- Mustafa K. Isik
Doesn't seem like that big a deal, and most OSS is distributed as generic binaries anyway. But maybe if I understood where he was going with MMIX I would know what he meant.
- ⓞnor
I can't say how much of a deal that currently is. What wonders me more are his views on parallelism, i.e. parallel hardware. He does not sound too thrilled about it. I always regarded it as rather exciting. The "free lunch" might be over, but the paradigm shift that comes along with this is not necessarily a bad thing - that is neither good nor bad, just as the laws of nature don't make sense in terms of good or bad. I sympathize with many of his other views though. Interesting read.

Probably end up being a Google/Microsoft acquisition
- Joe Dawson
Ontario Emperor sort of mentioned it, but isn't twitter the perfect acquisition for FriendFeed? Not that friendfeed has a true business model yet either.
- Rob Diana
Rob, actually that thought HADN'T occurred to me. Are you envisioning the incorporation of Twitter into FriendFeed, or the maintenance of FriendFeed and Twitter as separate services?
- Ontario Emperor
Dennis, that was a good compilation of thoughts from the technical perspective.
- Ontario Emperor
Ontario Emperor, I was thinking the integration of twitter into friendfeed. It just makes too much sense not to.
- Rob Diana
I don't see how Friend Feed would acquire Twitter. Friend Feed is like 4 employees or something? Twitter is much, much bigger.
- engtech
engtech, size doesn't matter here, money does. Not sure if twitter has that many people either, but I am sure they are bigger.
- Rob Diana
Hmm.. I think you could already replace Twitter with Friend Feed. Just share without including a link. So they'd be buying users/technical expertise.
- engtech
twitter is fun, twitter replaces the Balkans of IM, if twitter goes away don't we has Ponce/Haiku to replace it?
- Nathan Eckenrode
engtech, well the twitter IM like conversation is hard to get started in friendfeed. Share just doesn't feel the same.
- Rob Diana
Yup, but that's a user interface thing. A day of work, assuming someone is goofing off on the internet the entire time they're doing it. :) The SMS mobile phone functionality of Twitter would be harder to duplicate, but I wouldn't be surprised if the FF guys weren't thinking of it already.
- engtech
understood, but I thought we were talking about replacing twitter now :) Most of this stuff isn't that hard to do. Just hard to do well and scale.
- Rob Diana
Yup. Scaling is hard. I've been amazed at FF's responsiveness, but I have no idea what's going on in the background.

- Jeremy Herbel
@all - if Twitter doesn't get its shit together and soon,it's roadkill. Enterprisey types who do know what they're doing are building this inside other apps already. @Rob Diana - it is VERY hard to do after the fact.
- Dennis Howlett
from Alert Thingy
I'm a huge proponent of keeping things free. That said, why doesn't Twitter just charge $5 a month for people who twit more than X number of times/day?? I know, crazy! But seriously, if there was ever a service that could support such a model twitter is it -.

What I found interesting on this article was the comments and how everyone was like "Google Rocks" (which I think it does) but it seems to me that these people don't remember when Google wasn't the "it" company it is today.

I think the comments were more anti-Twitter than pro-Google. I agree with them, though. I don't think Twitter can beat Google in search.
