I love that twitter & friendfeed enable folks to let us know they're at the movies... :-D - karen2
Hmm looking Dick's feed, he does nothing more than comment on what he is doing, whereas Dave has a contribution that is worth listening to - Ian D. Nock via twhirl
apparently fat people are mad at wall*e bc of the portrayal of humans in the movie. Shut up fatties. - Anthony
I'm fat but why be offended. People need to take a breath once in a while. - Todd Jordan
I could stand to lose a few pounds too, and if genetics are anything to be taken seriously, Im gonna look like rush limbaugh when Im 40, but thats not disneys fault and I sure dont feel like they are taking a shot at people - Anthony
heres the original article ... http://defamer.com/5020076/eve....... also I do not mean to offend anyone...I just think this is slightly ridiculous and we need some personal responsibility, however i recognize that in some cases, weight is somethng out of a persons hands... - Anthony
do you think Richard is in the movies spilling nachos on himself? - Fred Grott
This is what I love on FF. One innocuous twitter comment helped me kill ten minutes reading the useless banter it generated. You can now all processed to block me. - Kevin Shannon
Come on Richard aka Loren, you're not fooling anybody. We all know that's you. - Ken Sheppardson
Charlie Chaplin would have been proud, I think, of Pixar's achievement with their 21st-century Little Tramp, Wall-E. I loved it. - Kawika Holbrook
@Kawika Of all the comments on Wall-E your Chaplin comparison is the one that's convinced me to go see it. - Kevin Shannon
personally I don't think setting a "limit" is a good thing. I only post when I have something relevant to say. - Fred Oliveira
5 or 6 times. I don't blog every day like I used to. - Morton Fox
I never blogged that often, but I'm down to 3 or 4 times a month. - Bwana McCall
for me, it depends on what i come up with. usually 2 a day and the number of days are random for me. - Outsanity
It's not really a limit. It's a my own metric to gauge if I'm blogging based on my own standards. I don't blog for the sake of flooding the web with worthless HTML. I'm the kind of person that needs to set measurable goals. Else, I'm likely to get lackadaisical. - Shey
I blog 4-5 times a week across 3 blogs - but that is less not cause of twitter, FF, and pownce. - Tony via Alert Thingy
I am at 2 or 3 a week, but even that has been limited the past 2 weeks. - Rob Diana
Steve, probably blogging about twice a week on average on BryanPerson.com -- and realizing that's not enough to maintain loyal and participatory readership. - Bryan Person
My new strategy is to line up non time sensitive posts well in advance - I have several week's worth of posts already lined up to fire off once a day. I then scatter timlier posts whenever inspiration strikes, which are a few times a week. - Jason Kaneshiro
I only blog when something catches my attention enough to do so & when the subject isn't saturating the blogosphere already (unless it's something I want to comment on, but there's simply too much to say for just a comment)... Sociosophy.com usually gets more posts, because of the thousands of social media and 2.0 awesomes that are out there. - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
I try to post most days, but I'm on the road this month and I'm letting things slip - so it's mostly photoblogging at the moment... - Simon Bisson via Alert Thingy
Only when I feel like I have something to say. I keep three different blogs with a different purpose. Sometimes I may have a lot in a week, some weeks I may have nothing. - William Beem
embarassed to admit- like 10? Different blogs tho. - anna
Since moving to Tumblr - I make much shorter posts, but more of them - about 20-35 per week. - Steve Isaacs
1-3 times a week. It is time consuming to figure out logic for my blog topics. - ClubEddy - clubeddy.com
@Steve: I used to use tumblr, but it lacked good SEO, so I went back to WordPress. I generally post once or twice a day on it, if I have nothing else in my agenda. - Josh Jenkins
FF has put a huge dent in blogging. 1-2 times per week tops - Roberto Bonini
I tried to order Comcast internet last night. After 'completing' my order a chat window popped up unexpectedly. This is the transcript of my conversation. - Kevin Fox
Oh that is *awesome*! I have two questions: 1. Were your prepared to send over photos of Danza and 2. Did this chat session resolve your problem? - Jason Shellen
I'll try to work "Do you like pictures of Tony Danza?" in all conversations with CSRs from now on. - Tudor Bosman
I think you should have requested pictures of Tony Danza FROM him. He's probably trained to provide spectacular customer service! You should have at least requested his favorite Tony Danza links. (Though looking at the transcript, it almost looks automated) - Cyrus Lendvay
Were you able to buy modem for your internet successfully? - ⓞnor
I like the part were you told him that "That is comcastic." - Stephen Mack
I'm now going to call them up and demand that self install kit #277433364 be sent to Siberia. - Stephen Mack
What a strange and surreal experience for you. Personally, I'd have screamed "Argh! Hacker!" and thrown my boxen out of the window. - Slippy Lane
I love the fact that he WANTED pictures of Tony Danza. He obviously doesn't bought modem for his internets yet... - Slippy Lane
"I'm sorry. I have to go now" - hahaha... :) - minus3
This brought back memories of AOLiza. - Ragani Harris
