The only motivation I possess at the moment is the desire to go home, eat pizza, and drink a good beer.
Define good beer.. micro brew? IPA?
- Chris Myles
I define good as a nice hoppy IPA, in particular Firestone Walker Union Jack. Best IPA I've ever had.
- Rob Fahrni
from email
Nothing beats a great IPA. We had to make our own while we were sailing, Coopers makes a great IPA kit. I'll have to try the Firestone.. I hope it was good!

Hey Roberto, you're getting double posts on Twitter. One from FriendFeed, one fro Posterous.

It's a silly notion of many of these 'techjournalists' that Twitter is the be-all-end-all of the web. Okay it's useful for some, but I can't get ALL my news from Twitter. I use Netvibes for the rest... Why can't these "techjournalists" understand that the two technologies can exist next to eachother, and perhaps even supplement eachother?
- Marcel de Jong
TCP is dead, as is HTTP. RSS can join the ranks of the dead, driving the internet silently in the background. Dave, I'd take this as a badge of honor. People say it's dead because it's "just another thing used to build out systems." You gotta have it, and you don't have to think about it. That's a great thing, I think. :-)

Thank you Rob. But I still don't like the word. It's ridiculously bad karma.

Hey Robert, I have a $100/mo Rackspace Cloud site, but I'm just a small blog and really can't justify spending that a month, so I'm trying to sell "chunks" of my site starting at $9.95/mo to others who are in similarly in my shoes. I'm doing it as perhaps a business opportunity, but also as a way to stay with the service and not go back to a shared managed host. I wonder how I can market this?

It's the hardest, but also the most gratifying. I POUND my legs, and I see the results. I need to get off this crazy work schedule so I can go back to my workouts. It's been three weeks of crappy, workouts, that following five weeks off for the back injury. Legs are at zero again. Sigh...

Will today be the day Robert discovers Weblogging? Enquiring minds want to know. But seriously, it's just another weblogging system, with a different tagline. You can post to your weblog via e-mail from all kinds of different systems. What makes Posterious different? Does it offer something the others don't? You're also very limited by them, at last check, you can't post to your own...

@Kahlil, that's good, didn't know that. Thanks for the correction, that's a very good thing. How about customizing the look, so you can't tell it's a Posterious weblog? Also, can I post to it from my favorite desktop weblog client, MarsEdit?

Posterous is so flexible and how they handle media files is just killer. It can be simple or more complex depending on your needs. Love it.

@Kahlil, is it safe to say Posterous is limited to posting via e-mail? That's what it looks like via the FAQ. That's why people are raving about it. It's VERY easy to post to your weblog from any e-mail service/client. That's nice. So what besides that makes it better than Blogger, WordPress, or many of the other established leading weblog publishing systems? That's the question that...

Posterous for a private site is where it really shines. I have both, public and private, and the private one is amazing. Try it.

Ended up ditching my personal WP site for posterous & loving it. @Rob the ease of posting and tweaking how things are disbursed is incredible. You can pick and choose per post which other sites you would like updated. The multiple photo upload is sweetomatic and they embed just about anything in a snap. I'm a fan and I thought I would live and die by WP.
- suecosby
Right now, Posterous = email in + tumblr-like blog + ping.fm-like out (duplicated content I actually find annoying). With more ways to automatically import, better support for discussions, and truly custom themes that I could host on my own subdomain (with my own HTML/CSS/JavaScript), it would have a lot of potential.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Posterous is fantastic, Tumblr too but one is mad to give up a self hosted blog in place those services. Respectively of course Steve Rubel.
- Benjamin Taylor
I've found that views on my Posterous posts have dropped like a ton of bricks. At first (a few weeks ago) I was getting 400-600 views per post. Last week it was more like 100 per post, now I'm hardly going over 10. :-(

We are actually crowd-sourcing our blog on Mugasha. Mugasha Aux is hosted on Posterous with custom theme (still in private beta). The cool thing about this blog is that the community and the Artists can post content on the blog. Artists can promote their music and events and fans can post stores about events or other music related things. We are terrible bloggers here at Mugasha so we decided why not ask the community to help us out. Posterous is setup really well to hand this. http://aux.mugasha.com/

That's definitely cool... but if they're still going to have that white block in the header with the Posterous logo that http://aux.mugasha.com has, looks like Tumblr will still have them beat in that area.

@Ken Actually we decided to leave The Posterous bar on top to give them credit :) You can totally style that in any way you want.

Nice, Akshay. Good to hear. Looking forward to seeing them go live with customization.

Robert: was today the day?
- Ken Power
Ken, Akshay, Kahlil -- we've got a revision to that top bar coming. You can expect as good an experience with Posterous as with Tumblr for full customization. Better, if we do it right. Thanks for all your support.

I started on posterous thanks to being talked into it (http://pingmicro.com/postero...). Hilariously, so far I don't see it as a challenger to tumblr at all. For me Tumblr is about fragments, scrapbooking, and its "genre" posting styles help with this. Posterous for me is an engine to conventionally blog (as opposed to microblog) to multiple sites, and...

I do like FF and use it almost every day.

here. anecdote: a friend of mine just signed up for FF this evening. apparently the FriendFeed hype of the last 24 hours pushed him over the top. leaves me wondering whether FF has actually gained users today?it would be a crafty way of marketing the service. I'll wake up tomorrow to discover that there was a problem with the paperwork and the FriendFeed team have had a change of heart.

David -- this was a $9.95 session but you can get them for $7.95 and there are also 25% off coupons if you do online check-in prior to your Delta flight. That's an incentive for folks to use that service and offload kiosk use at the terminals. Very savvy marketing by the folks at GoGo and Delta combined.

I prefer FF over twitter and facebook, but all my friends are on twitter and/or facebook. Maybe facebook will get it right this time now that it has acquired FF. If they simplify it a bit more without removing functionality. Then I would spend a bit more time on FB. Lets hope all goes well with the merger. If not I'm jumping ship and going over to Google Wave. oh wait, I'm going to go with Google Wave regardless! ;-)

@scobleizer i can speak english and i beg you to remove bann from all russian friendfeeders, because we are all from it-community, working in internet companies and we came with peace, you asked for feedback from friendfeed addicts — we show you how really it is being frf addicts, we change names, we chat, we making things that are not serious. Why so serious? Unlock people, they are not bots, they just playing the game of real addicts and have fun. Common.

@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all.

@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you?

Developing OPML Editor Tools by Andy Sylvester. http://andysylvester.com/2009...
Rob Fahrni and Roberto Bonini liked this
Folks don't give Frontier it's due respect. It is quite powerful, and with Dave driving it, it's VERY powerful. He's constantly adding new functionality to his toolset without changing Frontiers Engine. Yes, the UI is very minimal, but I think that's half the point. Once you master UserTalk, you can do quite a lot with it. I was just thinking about grabbing the OPML editor last night. I used Radio for a while a few years back, just never got into the scripting engine.
- Rob Fahrni
Thanks Rob. I think you're right about that -- there are so many things in the integration betw the editor and the object database and the scripting and the Internet -- I don't think anyone else has gotten there because it has to be done by a very small team with a drive toward the purpose over years and years. It's really hard to sustain that kind of momentum, but we did, for quite some time with a great team of people. I'm doing a project in there right now. :-)

Micro-blogging is good for idealets and infotainment, but it really is turning the web into a mindless medium like TV. Of course, there will always be the equivalent of PBS trying valiantly to raise the bar somewhat. Blogs will always have the possibility of transmitting real knowledge.
- Paul W. Homer
The interesting thing for me is I think we have lost the definition of what a blog is. Everybody jumped up and down about what Steve Rubel did, but really I see his change as a shift of platform. If he posted that same content on wordpress, nobody would have said a word. Just because he did it on posterous and called it a lifestream, people took issue with it. So, what is our definition then?
- Robert
I think Steve still has a weblog, he's just submitting posts to it in a "different" way. Like Dave's link says a weblog is "... a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser." Pretty much sums it up, I think. Steve's post is going to generate attention, and debate, but in the end it's a weblog.
- Rob Fahrni
Robert, I know you're asking Dave a question, but I don't think the Posterious way goes against the definition. If I'm not mistaken Radio could post via e-mail, and I know Blogger supports this feature. Maybe I need to dig into Posterious a bit more but isn't that what it does?
- Rob Fahrni
Rob - That is my point. This in my mind is one of the major problems with looking for a "new name" for these social products. We see it as something different because it is called something different. Posterous, from what I can see so far, allows for the writer to interact with their "weblog" in a different way, just as you said...
- Robert
from email
Huh?
- Dave Winer
Dave - I think your "huh?" was towards me... We call Posterous a "life stream", I say it is a blog, that we have given a different name to. That is what I am saying.Rob - I agree with you 100%, and that is my point exactly. I keep reading these post about blogging being dead, or blogging being alive... but those that say they are not "blogging" are still "blogging" Maybe I am not making sense, but I hope I am...
- Robert
from email
Robert - Precisely! I think Posterious is trying to find a why to differentiate their product, so they've coined a new phrase. It's still a weblog, how the data arrives may be different, but it's just a weblog all the same. When I read Steve's story last night, from his new site, I thought I was going to find a link on it to something "new and innovative", then I realized I was AT the actualy site, his "life stream."
- Rob Fahrni
Robert - Right on!

What I feel sad for is the lack of opportunity future literature and social behaviour experts will suffer not using post's content ( and graphics ) as sources for studying today's world zeitgeist.

It's funny that this sentence and a few lines from Anthony Trollope's autobiography should have crossed paths in my consciousness on the same day, since it's almost the same idea, thrown back two temporal orders of magnitude. Trollope tells of a correspondent, a vicar, who had enjoyed his clerical novels but was upset by Lady Glencors'a contemplation of adultery in the Pallisers series....

Before Web 1.0 we listened, conversed, collaborated and then we wrote. Writing was the synthesis of all the thinking that occurred in the first steps. In the new medium, the thinking process is the streams, both personal and community. Blogging is the synthesis of this new kind of community thought process.

I think a large percentage of bloggers were really microbloggers, they just didn't have the correct apps to do that. The people that actually have something to say will keep blogging and those that just like to say something small or share something interesting will continue microblogging, or lifestreaming, or whatever variant you want to name it. Blogging is akin to publishing articles...

Question: Of those of you out there who use posterous, do you use it as a replacement of your blog, a mirror of your blog or something different?
- Curt Mercadante
One of the things I like about blogging is the ability to not finish a thought, not to try so hard to say all I have to say or say come to any definite conclusion in a single post. The unfinished thought is what encourages conversation. Let someone else add to your thought. Let others challenge your incomplete premise. I don't know everything, why pretend I do? My thoughts are never finished.

Wow, you're right Dave, scripting news was indeed VERY much a microblog. Interesting & thanks for pointing that out!

Just as your diary became your journal and then your log, your log has become your stream. The web has become your life..... AND SO IT WAS, that in the year naught-nine, the web-log was renamed to life-stream, dissected, and it's pieces scattered about the hundreds of "cloud" services, from which it could fall as raindrops of thought, pinging here and there in an attempt to spread ideas to where they were needed the most.

Folks, the real reason we react with such a deep personal response when a celeb like this dies is that it smacks us in the face with our own mortality. We identify ourselves a little with these celebs, whether we like, approve or even appreciate them as artists. I've been listening to Michael Jackson music since he was a teenager. I don't like seeing artists that were popular when I was a teen dying because it reminds me my time/era is fading just like that of my parents.

Never an Elvis fan, but I was a huge Beatle fan, so John Lennon's death was a shock to me.

At least he no longer has to suffer whatever personal demons drove him.

I see several people on this thread wondering why "GenX" is so impacted by MJ's passing, here is a reason why (http://www.youtube.com/watch...).

Like Cristo I remember the day Lennon died. Walked into the student coffee shop on campus and it was like a morgue. Yet, I grew up with Michael. I remember sock hops at lunch time.

Of course there are 1000s of people who meant more to our lives. The reason we feel a sense of loss when celebrities like MJ pass is because his songs bring back certain memories from our lives. Brings back memories of my childhood. Less about MJ and more about his music and the memories.

Fred: I agree and its a great point. This is almost what Facebook and LinkedIn do to recommend connections.

I thought LinkedIn had a similar issue a few years ago with the number of connections and they capped the visible connections at 500 and evened the playing field. I like that approach. But it seems that acquiring twitter followers is baked into the twitter dna and they would never create a visible cap at 500.

Exactly Robert, you work your butt off, and I appreciate you for what you bring to the table.

Robin: I've never paid to be on Google. So far Google is a pretty darn good example of a good platform vendor that lets the marketplace decide winners and losers.
- Robert Scoble
Don't they have paid links that take precedence? I guess the diff is that though they might have that (and I don't know that they do for sure), they also show everybody else that fits the search criteria.
- RobinDotNet
Robin: absolutely not. The paid links were always separate on Google and never were mixed in with the free ones.

Robert, I meant killin me in a good way, I'm grinning ear-to-ear. I see your point but doesn't all this attention, even negative attention, just add to the popularity of the thing you despise?

from BuddyFeed
And, by the way, it seems like the SUL is being used like the same "mass follower" tools that the Twitter folks are seeking to diminish by killing the accounts of those who use them.
- Curt Mercadante
Reason I still use Twitter, I still get more responses from my Tweets than in FF. Yet I tend to be more engaged in FF these days but I think the FF celebs usually spark the most engaging threads and the rest of us are trying to get that engagement from our posts.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
manielse: there's no audience more engaged than one you build yourself by being of service to them. It's tough work and I'll be watching and engaging!
- Robert Scoble
Sorry I wasn't complaining, just saying many of us built that in Twitter and find it a little tougher to get traction on FriendFeed with our posts. I think tools like WeFollow, Twellow (and even #followfriday) help build relevant audiences easier. You can even argue that SUL is even a good starting place for n00bs.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
manielse: yeah, the eco system that's built up around Twitter is quite powerful. On the other hand here all you need to do is follow someone active and they bring other people into your view (every time I click "like" or comment on someone's items I push those items into your view, for instance) so finding new people to follow here is much nicer and much less of a competition. Plus you find new voices that aren't on any list a lot faster here, I've found.

Maybe they could reward early twitter users with a day on the list for every month on twitter before 08. If new social networks would promise props in the future I could live without twitter.
- Greg Birch
Although the SUL is obviously distorting of the natural community growth of Twitter, and does not really fulfill the functions @Ev and @Biz intended, "power users" not on the SUL who criticize it should know: they sound really vain, chippy, and silly.
- Jason Pontin
I don't care who is on the Twitter SUL, and I pay no attention to it. I look for the Twitter feeds that are most interesting to me -- they are not difficult to find, with a bit of searching. I don't understand the preoccupation with that list -- like everything on the Internet, it is simple to route around or ignore entirely.
- Sean McBride
Jason: we know that. If I lived in fear of looking vain, chippy, or silly, I'd just stay off the Internet! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I do not know you or Tim but I do follow and have great respect for you both. IMHO (I am an amateur when compared to you guys), Tim was not saying that he supports the SUL. Do I agree with his comment? Nope. Do I like the SUL? No. But it does happen that if you criticise a list while you mention that you have not been included it can sound like you are "jealous" even if you are not and you do have good reasons for not liking the list... so this can be a tricky one!
- Pablo Melchor
Really, the personalized way is the only good way... I mean, sheesh, Twitter recommends people like Ashlee Simpson to me, ferchrissakes! So most of the people on the SUL are a total waste for me, and I suppose for most people, when you get right down to it... if I had some $ to burn I'd get some outside research firm like Insight Express to scope out how the SUL is actually viewed,...

I still think most people find suggested users through word-of-mouth and their own social circles. That's the only way to get the people you really want to follow based on your interests. I've also found that using hashtags properly will get the kind of users you want to follow to you before you get to them.

friendfeed is a client for more than twitter... does it use rss to grab it's content for all of the 57 services?
- Chris Heath
Almost true... but the comments and like feature make it better and different.
- Benoit Cazenave
And Benoit, what would you be commenting about? Twitter and RSS. So much for Steve Gillmor's grand goodbye to the Beatles. I think he should try to talk the FF guys into the idea that RSS is dead and see how far he gets with that. And convince some FriendFeed users too while you're at it. Just give up your RSS for one week, and let's see what FF looks like. Heh. Twitter with comments.
- Dave Winer
Would it? It's a great aggregator! I don't think you need to defend RSS Dave. People make weird comments about technologies being dead all the time, mainly because they don't understand how that technology is being used.
- Rob Fahrni
When I post a video on youtube, does FF use RSS to fetch the data from youtube to FF as an example?
- David Lloyd
Mark, I don't know. Seems pretty likely to me. :-)
- Dave Winer
I think the real point is that without RSS (aka recently-updated-data-interop standard) FriendFeed wouldn't exist at all. The fact that they have a custom firehose for Twitter or "might" use a custom API call for Youtube is sort of besides the point. They are the EXCEPTION, not the RULE.
- Carter ♥ JS
How come it all happens so fast tho Dave? You know that post you made hours ago about Tech Heroes? It just made it into my google reader. I read it on Friendfeed, liked it, commented on it, and retweeted it on twitter minutes after you posted it. But still its taken hours to get on my google feed.
- David Lloyd
Without RSS, maybe people writing articles will just post links to their articles manually, and maybe have a conversation about it after submitting it in like 10 minutes, it would feel a lot less automatic and more human for me..."but that's just the rant of a teenage Egyptian kid, don't mind me ;) " "oh FF is much better than Twitter when it comes to discussions too, try having a convo. on Twitter, it will end in 5 - 10 tweets max "

so pretty much Friendfeed FTW even without RSS ;)
- Ahmed
I may be wrong, but Dave is making the point that RSS is important (not dead). He is not making a statement about Twitter vs. FriendFeed. I'm going to assume that for a significant percentage of the services involved, FF grabs that content via RSS. That being the case, one would have to answer True.

Allen: and YouTube and wordpress and Upcoming and Flickr...
- Robert Scoble
Allen ... all of which arrive via RSS, if I remember right. There's only a few services using SUP or XMPP (which is how Twitter arrives here). Dave: when pundits say something is "dead" they almost always are wrong. Remember, Gillmor said Office was "dead" four years ago. How many billions in profit has that made since? Yeah, really dead.

I've been defending RSS more lately than normal but glad that Dave agrees. I have to laugh when people say that X is dead but Y is the greatest thing. Very quickly that person makes Y their next X. Dare I say that this usually happens in Flocks as people want to stay cool. As I just said to Kevin Rose, RSS readers just need smart AI that can learn someone's SPAM/HAM to better sort and filter to the individual. I can argue that FriendFeed has the same challenges ahead.

Wrong-headed question designed to provoke debate. (I am happy to join in - debate is good.) Twitter/friendfeed, apples/oranges, false dichotomy. They do different things and if RSS didn't exist another way would be found to satisfy what is a clear need. What is really interesting in the tech world unlike the industrial world we don't know we need things until we have it. But that's another discussion.

Dave: the most valuable data I get from Friendfeed is the comments about things posted. I feel like about 25% of what I read on Friendfeed is an item imported via RSS, so I say RSS is far from dead. :)

LPH: I will refuse to be on this list for three reasons: 1. it's not a meritocracy. That means that my inclusion on it will raise questions about whether I did something behind the scenes to get on the list. 2. It is a gift from a company I would like to cover journalistically in the future. If I got the "gift" of being on the list I could no longer do that and keep my own integrity. 3. Being on the list gets you huge amounts of unenaged followers. I really am not in this game just for numbers.

- Robert Scoble
LPH: TechCrunch's followers: http://twitter.com/TechCru... My followers: http://twitter.com/Scoblei... -- what differences do you notice? Look for signs of engagement. What are those? 1. Have the members put a photo on the avatar? 2. Have the members actually done a tweet or two? 3. Have the members actually followed anyone on their own (organic following?)

- Robert Scoble
Or, visit this article about non engagement: http://features.csmonitor.com/innovat...
- Robert Scoble
Hint: this list is actually making things worse for Twitter's returns and engagement. Here's why: 1. If you get onto Twitter because of a celebrity, that's great, but I've found people get very fickle about celebrities. Go to @oprah, for instance. Is there anything really that interesting there to read day after day after day? I don't see it. But what if your best friend is on Twitter? Yes, I find following my close friends on Twitter day after day IS interesting and DOES get me back to the service.
- Robert Scoble
2. Twitter seems to only endorse "celebrities" on its recommended follower list. Well, that tells normal users that they don't matter to the system as much as celebrities. So they feel less engaged/empowered. Compare this to Facebook where celebrities only can have 5,000 friends. Now everyone is on the same level and the system "feels" more intimate and engaging because of that.
- Robert Scoble
Great point Robert, and that's another reason why sites like Facebook (and in the past MySpace, Friendster, etc) are 'sticky' ... people you actually know are there. Most people will be more engaged with people they actually know - i for one don't engage with celebs on twitter because i know they're not going to engage with me
- Chris Heath
bet that if twitter had a "best-of-the-day" feed like, no celebrity will on it. twitter is becoming less conversational. pity :(
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Chris: right! Plus, this list really penalizes the real users of the service (this is why Allen Stern's points about friendfeed's list being bad are starting to win me over). Those who put the most time into the service should be rewarded by that service. I've been on Twitter 890 days. The fact that someone else is on the recommended list that's only been on for 15 days really pisses me off and makes me more likely to go elsewhere.
- Robert Scoble
Shivanand: right, and it would be a lot better for engagement to have something like http://alltop.com/ which recommends people based on your content interests. If I want to hook into people who are into quilting, why would such a system recommend Mike Arrington to me?

I've never found the suggested users list to be useful, on Twitter or FriendFeed. Frankly, I don't care if you're "just some guy/girl" or if you're God...if you don't say anything that interests me or teaches me something new, I'm not going to look for what you have to say. If you put all the numbers aside and make connections on a one-to-one basis, even though it's accessible one-to-many, that's worth finding.

Reed, i totally agree... suggested lists are a nice thing to have, but only when you know why the suggestion is being made.
- Chris Heath
Maybe a better model for a suggested list would be to look at more than number of subscriptions/follows - look at how many posts/comments - on FF they could also look at how many services or what services - if i post a lot from a service then the suggested list should maybe show me more people from that service ... one thing i will agree is that a suggested list is a hard thing to do because you can't please everyone with your suggestions ... just look where we are now...

Oh my bad, It was Jay Rosen. I thought it was Dave Winer. Oh well, same difference. I can totally understand him. He's a journalist.

- Robert Scoble
Don't forget the fact that there will be no way your followers can all DM you if you're on that list.
