“I invested a lot of time this year in FriendFeed and Twitter instead of my blog. Was that the right decision?”
5 minutes ago - Link
I think so. - Robert Scoble
Half of it was right. - Chris White
Time will tell, but I think it was correct decision. - imran
It's made you one of my favorite bloggers, if that makes you feel any better about it. If you weren't heavy on the social exploration I probably wouldn't read. - Daniel J. Pritchett
what outcome were you going for? - zach
From my perspective, yes. It's a much more interactive and broader experience for all. - Kevin C. Tofel
The right decision from which perspective, Robert? Did you increase "eyeballs?" Revenue? Both? Other? - Mark VandenBerg
I like FriendFeed and Twitter, but don't see how they compare to developing thoughtful, deeper blog posts. Really, I think FF and Twitter have their place, and I love them as well, but that place is certainly not a replacement to blogging. - Michael Krigsman
I think yes. Most folks can read twitter 100% of the time -- blogs are scanned. You tend to link to good stuff from twitter and have good headlines. - Ted Simpson
No question about that. In the past, websites were static compared to blogs. Now blogs are static compared to microblogging services. - Berci Mesko
I think only you can be the judge of that. We're all beginning to look at blogs as sort of the core of our outreach, so I'm not sure investing time in microblogging elsewhere is an either/or question. You are you. Your blog and social media network are simply extensions. If you're happy with your business model and continuing to grow, what's the problem? :-) - Chris Baskind
Mark: Revenue? Didn't change much. Eyeballs? Well, I have almost 21,000 followers here that I didn't have at the beginning of the year. Zach: I just saw that FriendFeed was going to be one of the most interesting new services of the year. Seeing how it was on the screen at the Chinese BloggerCon I think I picked the right services. - Robert Scoble
I consider FF as blogging in many ways and more interesting than a blog. - imran
You certainly moved the ball forward for the two companies. And if you think they're a vital part of the "internet plumbing", you absolutely made the right decision in helping to secure their futures. - Christopher Galtenberg

Hey Robert broke twitter ... no wait, it's just twitter's way of saying, "Welcome Home"~!! - Susan Beebe
What's Alex done to Twitter? Alex? Robert is saying you broke twitter..... - WorldofHiglet
I really don't think it's your fault..... this time. :) - JCLeftie
Awesome blog title -> "Twitter went down as soon as Robert Scoble landed in SF" - AJ Batac
Yeah. Nice work Scoble ;) I bet you brought some Chinese twitter virus back home - Dennis Bjørn Petersen via twhirl
And, being that you're Scoble, you're still able to Tweet about it. - DocileWalnut
Another Blame Scoble meme? - Roberto Bonini
It went down right as I ran my auto-follow script for SocialToo - it's probably my fault ;-) - Jesse Stay
Googel reader having problems as well... you must not have read all your feeds and now they have an out of memory error - Ian D. Nock via twhirl

"Yesterday, Fi (Fantasy Interactive) sent out alpha invitations to their new product, Kontain. This is one product I’ve signed up and (not very) patiently waited for its launch, as it should be pretty revolutionary in terms of user-friendliness. Basically, it’s the first Flash-based blogging platform open to world wide free public access." - Alex Cristache
Who needs a Flash-based blogging platform? It's inaccessible. Each page weighs at least 400Kbytes. Maybe someone would use Flash-based blogging tools, but the reader also needs Flash to view even your text and image content. I don't get it. Isn't this why we have standards like JavaScript? - Benjamin Doherty
Benjamin, the Flash Player is installed on the majority of computers these days. That's not the real problem. Also, no matter how much we complain about it, the dial-up era is gone. 400Kb per page? We should analyze standard blogging platforms and see much their pages weight, with tons of widgets & slow loading gadgets using external APIs. This is a great product for those that find "drag and drop" type of actions easier. It would be a whole lot easier to explain Kontain to my father rather than WP. - Alex Cristache

“Now that Ted Stevens looks to have lost his re-election, is it safe for me to ask what was wrong with the 'series of tubes' metaphor? Is it because he didn't say 'pipes'?”

In context it makes sense. But his "GET OFF MY LAWN N00B!!1!" delivery of the phrase makes it easy to take out of context and ridicule. - John Craft

“Idea: Experienced players should offer guided tours of Call of Duty levels, introducing newer players to common tactics, killzones, and advanced strategies. I could totally see players paypal-ing $5 for an hour session in a private game room with 10 other students, while a drill sergeant runs folks...”

...through sniping exercises and claymore-avoidance skills. - Kevin Fox
Anyone know if this kind of thing already exists? With 90,000 players on Call of Duty at any given time, this seems like a worthwhile market for building a team of instructors. - Kevin Fox
I gotta get back into that game -- it was awesome - Shey
wow that's so nerdy. it could help though. i used to get frustrated as hell always getting shot down on cod 4 all the time when i first began - Cee Bee
But if there was this, there wouldn't be any more n00bs for the experienced players to pwn. - Wizetux

"Alfred snapped this in 1963, at the climax of Guignol's "Saint George and the Dragon" in the Tuileries Garden in Paris. Just as the dragon is slain, some children cry out in a combination of horror and delight, while others are taken aback in shock. Every child is consumed with emotion, masterfully captured by Eisenstaedt's camera. These amazing photos are now blended into our Image Search results along with other images from across the web." - Kevin Fox

Great tips Matt, I just asked google what the square root of 1000 was and it told me in less than a second with NO typing, now we need voice for Gmail and Google Talk! Awesome app - Kelly Johns
I just added one more bonus tip that I forgot. :) - Matt Cutts
Kelly, I do like how the voice recognition works with the calculator. :) - Matt Cutts
Yes, and it works great for conversions, I asked it how many ounces in a pound and it gave it to me fast, the accuracy is amazing -- not to mention how good the local search is with easy to click telephone numbers and everything. A "restaurant" search comes up with some great local info. - Kelly Johns
