I mean that every time there is a new comment on any thread it goes to the top position. In my opinion one should be able to see the threads in order of appearance.
- Franco Piccolo
But this way the important topics stay at the top and the junk/old stuff gets filtered down to the bottom.If you want to read them in order try an RSS reader instead. http://reader.google.com
- Skyler Call
well lets make it an option - groups sortable either by time of post, or time of comments
- Petr Buben
I would make it an option. Skyler you cant compare this service to a reader. But it works this way: If you are not interested in a conversation you dont want it popping up when sbdy makes a comment. On the other hand, If you are interested into a conversation you can follow it directly from "My discussions" and that way it is not necessary for them to go up all the time.
- Franco Piccolo
I for one think active conversations popping up is immensely useful. Posts become themes, many useful links and much insight sediments in them over time. Maybe make it an option to automatically hide conversations you've seen, but the default should stay as it is now.
- Goran Zec
What about the "Q" hotkey? It puts Friendfeed in pause, you just have to refresh the page to get all the new updates (entries and comments). And it remains in pause, even if you log out, until you repress "Q" (or click the little pause button in the top bar of the feed).
- Jérôme Flipo
I think it is important to have the option to sort the feed by date, even if the most active is the default. I find that by only sorting by popularity, posts that I might find interesting get buried in the discussion.
- Cloud
ok, then this by option, 4 cute mini bulb buttons at the top - Sort by: 1. last active, default, 2. post date, 3. no of comments/reverse, 4. no of likes/reverse ...... B. also how about to have a real time cloud, and sort results real time subcloud .. this subcloud is important anaytical tool, and i haven't seen it nowhere .. you know they talking "Michael" ..but what is it they say ..?...

"BING=Bing Is Not Good. Heheh. But seriously everyone who’s seen it is raving about it. I guess the rest of us will have to wait for next week."
- Robert Scoble
Jim: it's a general search engine, but most of it is just like Google. There are a few places, though, where it goes further than Google. Shopping is one of the verticals. Now, how do you hurt Google? You can't take all their traffic. How about just go after the most profitable traffic? That's what Microsoft is up to. Of course this strategy was, in part, designed by Vic Gundotra, who is now a VP at Google (Vic was one of the execs behind Wave). Interesting, huh?
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Ok, now that makes sense. Thanks Robert!
- Jim Connolly
Obviously I haven't tried Bing, but Google has shopping, Google has image and video search, Google maps, News etc. We'll see.

Comes the morning When I can feel That there's nothing left to be concealed Moving on a scene surreal No, my heart will never Will never be far from here Sure as I am breathing Sure as I'm sad I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh I leave here believing more than I had And there's a reason I'll be A reason I'll be back As I walk The Hemisphere *I've got* my wish To up and disappear *I've been* wounded *I've been* healed Now for landing *I've been* Landing *I've been* cleared Sure as I'm breathing Sure as I'm sad I'll keep this wisdom In my flesh I leave here believing More than I had This Love has got No Ceiling

hmmm ooh It's a mystery to me we have a greed with which we have agreed You think you have to want more than you need until you have it all you won't be free society, you're a crazy breed I hope you're not lonely without me When you want more than you have you think you need and when you think more than you want your thoughts begin to bleed I think I need to find a bigger place 'cos when you have more than you think you need more space society, you're a crazy breed I hope you're not lonely without me society, crazy and deep I hope you're not lonely without me there's those thinking more or less less is more but if less is more how you're keeping score? Means for every point you make your level drops kinda like its starting from the top you can't do that...

On bended knee is no way to be free lifting up an empty cup I ask silently that all my destinations will accept the one that's me so I can breath Circles they grow and they swallow people whole half their lives they say goodnight to wive's they'll never know got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul so it goes... Don't come closer or I'll have to go Holding me like gravity are places that pull If ever there was someone to keep me at home It would be you... Everyone I come across in cages they bought they think of me and my wandering but I'm never what they thought got my indignation but I'm pure in all my thoughts I'm alive... Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere underneath my being is a road that disappeared late at night I hear the trees they're singing with the dead overhead... Leave it to me as I find a way to be consider me a satelite for ever orbiting I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me guaranteed...

1. Share the credit: This could be applied to every product that generates content. A video camera, any music instrument, a graphic design software, etc.
- Franco Piccolo
2. Let them be fans: Please exploit all the possible positive emotions the consumer may have. Create clubs, events.
- Franco Piccolo
3. Encourage online reviews: This aspect has a tremendous impact given the trend buying is following. Buying is less about absorbing publicity and more about seeking information. Online reviews are the information that determines if I buy or do not buy a given product, and therefore any company NEEDS to have favorable reviews, so you must encourage people that loves your product to make...

4. Refer a friend: I would like to add the use of tools like friendfeed, Google Reader and recommendators like Digg or Delicious. Imagine you produce tennis shoes and you make an article about the last shoe you made, about its outstanding characteristics. If there are people that love your shoe that same people would love to share your article on facebook, friendfeed, digg or delicious, you only have to provide a quick link and a word of encouragement. And the same goes for good offers.

Suppose you attend college, then you won't have time to get into an Open Courseware course, I fall into that category, and right now I can't take advantage of them. But now imagine you are a professor from a little university, with a scarce budget, and you have the opportunity to teach your students the same syllabus being taught in the MIT, then you have a great opportunity there. In my opinion, in the end open courses lead to the centralization of knowledge creation, a positive centralization, where everyone can access the best contents created by the best.

"Everything we found associated with video games came out negative... [But] I don't want parents to go out and yank all video games. It's like TV. We have to choose what's good and bad and practice moderation."

I like your qualification, Anthony. We don't have them in our house, but I believe an absolute prohibition can be just as dangerous in a different way. Provides a teaching opportunity for kids too.
- Martha
Videogames are one of the BEST ways of learning, practising math skills and improving reading ability. And they are fun! I know they can have negative consequences, but they are a powerful tool for teaching, and a wonderful hobby.

This was a quote from Techdirt. My 7yr old son has PS2. I stay one gen behind on purpose so we can find safe,fun games at a good price. Any clean brain stimuli is ok with me and I make sure he get's to play physically too.
- Anthony Farrior
I just can't a gree with the quote "Everything we found associated with video games came out negative" because other studies have recently proven true the exact contrary. And gaming is a social activity. Ask Joy Ito what he thinks about games and sociality :)

Las colas son una excelente oportunidad que tienen las empresas para diferenciarse de la competencia agregándole valor al cliente. Cosa que pocos hacen y esto causa el estigma que gira en torno de las colas, cuando podrían ser de lo más placenteras con un mínimo de imaginación. Hasta incluso es un tiempo que se podría aprovechar para tratar de venderle más cosas a los consumidores o conocer sus opiniones!
- Franco Piccolo
Algunas diferencias generacionales y cómo hacer que no se conviertan en un problema dentro de la empresa. En mi opinión conocer estas diferencias es muy útil tanto para evitar problemas internos como para realizar cualquier acción de marketing, ya que los hábitos de consumo entre generaciones varían. De todos modos debemos tener en cuenta que estas características generacionales no aplican a TODOS los integrantes de cada generación, algo obvio pero importante.

Bill: it has a wider range of sources and shows you competitors. It also is faster. I'm seeing news getting onto parts of TechFuga in a few seconds. Usually it takes 15 minutes to 60 minutes to get onto TechMeme. The real-time web is going to be a big deal next year and aggregators that can pull news out of Twitter and friendfeed and other aggregators will do quite well and will grow faster.
- Robert Scoble
TechFuga's got such a terrible UI though. I've tried it twice and left in a couple of minutes each time. Plus getting to related stories takes an additional click. TechMeme might not be all that, but it's far easier to use
- Deepak Singh
Deepak: agreed. But it's a terrible UI because it was a clone of TechMeme. That was really lame.
- Robert Scoble
All you guys still would do anything to be on the top of techmeme. Period.
- loren feldman
loren: I used to strongly agree with your statement here. Now sorry, no. If I cared I'd be writing about everything on the top of techmeme. That's how to get onto the top of techmeme. I already figured out that game and it is a lame one and takes you down a path that just is stupid. I'd rather have conversations with smart people. I never had a SINGLE smart person come to me and say "let's have a conversation so I can get to the top of techmeme." Yeah, PR people do that all the time. Just saying.

Never good when you allow personal likes and dislikes to affect the end result. Techcrunch is always on top irrespective of quality of post. Have likes and dislikes but keep it personal. Never allow it to affect the business
