I'm in the Gillmor Gang studio. - Robert Scoble

Please stand by. Technical difficulties are being worked on. - Robert Scoble

I'm enjoying the test pattern. Heard Steve's voice, so I'm sure we're closer to a b-cast. :) - Karoli

There was a bit of a glitch, but all's well now. - Ken Sheppardson

Cool. - Robert Scoble

crystal clear here :) - Adnan

Actually....the audio quality is much better than the old GG episodes! - Mike Kelly

Really curious to hear from Bret how he'd tie XMPP into Tornado... where he sees the intergration points and overlap. - Ken Sheppardson

Is Kevin Marks still with google? - Adnan

Is there an audio only feed? - Shaun Trennery

Shaun: close your eyes. ;-) - Robert Scoble

LiveJournal growth/uptime was a lot like the present Twitter headache. - Jay Cuthrell

"Some guy named Jack" :-) - Ken Sheppardson

This is greatly enjoyable and informative. Thank you all. - Harry Wolff

bingo - Ross Mayfield

what method does tornado use to pull updates that it pushes realtime? - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Wave is XMPP based... hence my earlier question RE how he'd tie XMPP into Tornado... where he sees the intergration points and overlap. - Ken Sheppardson

Ross: that one was for you! - Robert Scoble

:-) - Robert Scoble

;-) - Ross Mayfield

I'd love to know when noreply and donotreply goes away from Facebook notification emails. - Jay Cuthrell

Mochiweb (Erlang web framework) has some pretty easy to use support for long-polling too. Use it at http://replies.twitterfall.com for the streaming API there. I think Facebook use it for chat? (guess) - Jalada

Agreed Steve.......This is now officially WAY over my head.... ;-) - Mike Kelly

So, Bret... any plans for a near-term Tornado meetup? - Ken Sheppardson

Has there been any discussion on any top line scaling metrics they are shooting for now? i.e. transcations per second, etc. - Jay Cuthrell

Thursdays between 1 - 2pm SFO likes to fly jets over the NGL studios! We must have a talk about this - Tina Chase Gillmor

lol, love the Canter picture - Ross Mayfield

agreed... great Canter action shot :) - Jay Cuthrell

I believe that was at LeWeb several years ago. But Marc was famous for sleeping at conferences. - Robert Scoble

thanks... I'll take credit for the Canter photo. Not for taking it but for choosing it - Tina Chase Gillmor

awesome! :) - Susan Beebe

jazz? - Jay Cuthrell

yeah, what was that? :) - Susan Beebe

I seriously want that Calliflower hold music MP3 - Ken Sheppardson

That's a great blog - I follow it - Jesse Stay

whats the future of friendfeed? - Adnan

Ask him how scaling for Facebook compares to scaling from Google? - Jesse Stay

robert - do you have a public blog reference for digg using casandra? - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Cassandra uses Thrift too, which supports Python, so the two go together well. - Jalada

Can't wait to work with Brett in Platform - Jesse Stay

http://blog.digg.com/?p=966 - Rob La Gesse

Mike: I saw it on one of the Digg guys' twitter accounts. I'll try to find some details. - Robert Scoble

Rob, thanks for saving me the time! :-) - Robert Scoble

BTW, Brett's saying it wrong - it's not "the Facebook Platform". It's "Facebook Platform". - Jesse Stay

reading that too! - Susan Beebe

His Colleagues would correct him on that :-) - Jesse Stay

Jesse: on what? - Robert Scoble

Robert, on pronunciation of Facebook platform - there's no "the" - Jesse Stay

exactly - Jay Cuthrell

Ahh. - Robert Scoble

They're very picky about that - it's "Facebook Platform" and not "The Facebook Platform". #littlethings :-) - Jesse Stay

Any questions for Bret? - Robert Scoble

The same "Rackspace Cloud" vs "The Rackspace Cloud" argument :) - Rob La Gesse

Yes, they definitely can. - Jalada

We're using Pubsubhubbub at http://rssfall.com but it's trivial to add rssCloud support and we're going to. - Jalada

When will we get to see some of the FriendFeed-like real time features in the Facebook stream? - Jesse Stay

And when will that work with the API? - Jesse Stay

Q: What impact will today's release of @Mentions on Facebook have on their infrastructure, performance? - Susan Beebe

Listening to this is so very interesting if you remember things like "ATG Dynamo" and the personalization wave of the .com days - Jay Cuthrell

"Pub hub sub bub"? Nice :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Can anyone ask Bret if Friendfeed plans to open source more of their code. Would love to see how Friendfeed handles the aggregation of all the user feeds. - arjo

thanks rob and rob! - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

*boom* moment is when the homepages change - Jay Cuthrell

Jesse - great question! - Susan Beebe

Will friendfeed keep using their mysql blob store system or will they move to something more native to the FB platform? - Ian Kallen

arjo: I will try to get to that. - Robert Scoble

Facebook supports activitystrea.ms already - Jesse Stay

Ian: I think the answer is clear that the future is Cassandra and other systems built to deal with 300-500 million users. - Robert Scoble

De jure versus De facto? :P - Jalada

that's why at the IETF they learned the hard way that implementation trumps a lone spec - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

"Drool: "Tornado comes w/ built-in support for Facebook Connect, Twitter, Google, FriendFeed and OAuth + OpenID." -- http://friendfeed.com/chrisme... - Ken Sheppardson

I've only been recording episodes of the Gillmor Gang so unless someone else has recorded NewGang you will have to wait until Steve puts it on YouTube - Jack
