Did you try it recently? - Ed Healy

No, not recently. I haven't played a d20 game in a long while. Has it changed much or is that what you're trying to find out? - Kristian

Interesting. I wonder if the 1.4 million SL residents agree... - Ed Healy

I love how these people dismiss things. Just bookmark their predictions, get back to them in a few years, then laugh at their face (or piss on their graves). - Opensource Obscure

Thanks for sharing this - important to track. I was in a meeting with a venture capitalist who said the same. But in education, SL is GREAT!! - Patricia F. Anderson

I will be using server stats soon, but I have been user PodPress stats. - Mike Wills

We use our stats from Libsyn - Mary-Lynn

feedburner for podcast, wordpress.com stats for blog, google analytics for everything else - David Van Vickle

I've been eyeballing the Seesmic WordPress plug-in. How's it working for you? - Ed Healy

I'm using Seesmic via Disqus at 1FPS. Didn't realize there were even any other video commenting services. Are there? - David Chartier

Dunno, David. That's part of the reason for my question. I'd love to offer video comments on a blog, but don't want to choose... "unwisely." How's Seesmic working for you? - Ed Healy

I haven't had anyone use it on my blog yet, but I've loved using it on other's blogs. And it was super easy to install. - Summer

video comments on other people's blog have been known to freeze my browser so I wouldn't implement this on my own yet. - Andy Roberts

Video comments? I haven't even heard of them outside YouTube. - Daniel Schildt

Haven't heard of them but sounds pretty neat. - ChaCha Fance from Alert Thingy

No i do not because i use disqus which supports seesmic which is terrible - Mike Martin

Is there a method/plug-in for Blogger? I'd guess that Google would find a way, since they own both Blogger and Youtube... - Joseph Z.

You'd think so but no. I hardly ever comment on Blogger blogs because the commenting mechanism and defaults are so useless. - Andy Roberts

The thing that would put me off is the sheer amount of time it would take to review and respond to video feedback. Has anyone who uses it found this to be a problem? - Winston

My use of email is declining - and I certainly rely less on Google Alerts and other email feeds of information. I've moved virtually all of my project management work off of email now onto other platforms. http://tinyurl.com/64b3bv - David Sim

Unchanged - most people I deal with professionally still use email - so I have no option. - Craig Thomler

I use it a lot for business- it's about who you're talking to and how private it has to be and if you need attachments,etc- I network with industry peers via SM, but also some email- but my day to day biz and client interaction is still phone and email. So it's about who's using the comm channel and what functionality you need. I probably comm more overall tho, with SM, so the % of my comm that's email has probably decreased. - Brian Carter

My email has vastly increased, and mostly just a lot more spam. I do a lot of real business via email, as not everything works on Twitter, Facebook, and other socnets. I am not sure how much of the spam increase is directly related to my getting accounts on so many socnets, but it seems like to some degree, it is. - Cathryn Hrudicka

I think not only has email increased, so has the number of email accounts and other tools for inbound messages. At this point it continues to just push all limits of information overload. - Tony

Email is my method of last resort. Synchronous communication, twitter / FF, phone, chat, etc is first in my book. - Dean Terry

Decreased for communication with general people, work communication has stayed about same - Justin Yost

I hate email, but it's still a necessary evil. If you asked me whether my attention of email has declined, the answer is yes. It still keeps coming in though..if anything it's worse than ever. - Duncan Riley

SM hasn't killed my email. It has, though, killed my use of AIM/YIM/MSN/etc... - Ed Healy

Could Friendfeed or Twitter ever become mainstream alternatives to email? A lot of the email I get is targetted at groups. We certainly have a mission - should we choose to accept it - to educate our clients, businesses and friends on the potential benefits of social media over email. - David Sim

Technically it has increased, because of bacn. But in terms of actual use, it's probably decreased a little bit. - Rubin Sfadj

Actually, I use email MORE now than before this social media phenomenon. - ChaCha Fance from Alert Thingy

i use email more because all the social networks require it for authentication and the services send me email when there's activity on my account (a peeve.) it's a flaw to have to know someone's email to invite them to a service - rob zand

email is more equivalent to things like memos and faxes. SM is more like IM, but only for broad open conversations, maybe more of a replacement for group chat like IRC. as for my email consumption it has decreased, but it has been replaced by the phone and not SM, the growing trend in the market is to talk to others in the office not email, especially now that email is 'permanent' as is most of what is said in SM - nick carrasco

decreased for keeping in touch increased for everything else! - Darren Daz Cox

And Gore invented the internet... - Ed Healy

I loved President Palmer - Hutch Carpenter

the Creative Commons Attrib 3.0 license is intriguing... does that mean that it will attribute to me explicitly in replies? - Glenn Batuyong from twhirl

I blogged about it here: http://www.bwana.org/2008... Summary: It's open source, and creates a possible federated twitter. Two big reasons to keep it on the radar - Bwana ☠

FF room for identi.ca http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - Hao Chen

Thanks Bwana, your post tells me what I wanted to know :-) - Marcos Marado

I like the fact that it uses OpenID. The features are so lacking ATM that, for now, I'm in a holding pattern. Plus... I'm not Canadian! - Ed Healy

It's like an extremely fast paced chat room LOL - Mona Nomura
