Project Retweet: Why It Will Change Twitter for the Better - http://mashable.com/2009...
Iván Abrego, Alvin and Jerome Coloma liked this
I think this is a good thing, allows more people to commonly use retweeting

I think several things need to happen. 1. Twitter might as well leave RT, @ as is, but ... 2. there certainly MUST be, and ought to be, Facebook and Friendfeed style commenting on tweets. ... 3. Twitter absolutely needs to allow more than 140 chars, no question about that. Leave 140 as a head, then the rest, text or pix, wrap it up under an automatic 'more' link... this is a crucial, survival test thing for Twitter .... http://friendfeed.com/web24

Every new technology is going to have to handle spam and phishing. I think technology needs to come with a way to integrate measures to remove spam and phishing from starting, rather than deal with it later before it becomes too late. Yes, sure users need to be careful, but technology should also be able to prevent phishing from happening. Just like how with blogging, you have captchas, something similar is needed here as well.

A few words with Jack Tramiel and the Commodore 64 gang - http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei...
winckel, Randy Holloway, Tyson Key and 18 other people liked this
"The success of the Commodore 64 was unheard of; it sold 22 million units, the highest number for any single model of a computer in history, according to the Computer History Museum. ... Tramiel himself had a confrontation with Canadian investor Irving Gould and Tramiel resigned on Jan. 13, 1984. The problem with doing a follow-up on the Commodore 64 was due to chaos that followed Tramiel’s departure. To build the next machine, the company had to build everything from scratch."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
I wonder what the "confrontation" was about. From http://www.commodore.ca/history...: "Irving Gould and Jack Tramiel had a successful working relationship until 1984 when an argument that has yet to be fully explained caused Jack Tramiel to quit on the spot." From http://www.scripophily.net/atcorst...: "The nature of their quarrel was never publicly disclosed. Today, however, Tramiel says he wanted to "grow" the company, and Gould didn't."
- ⓞnor
"The Commodore Story" aka "On the Edge" has a whole chapter on Jack Tramiel leaving Commodore. It suggests a couple of theories about the disagreement. One is that Jack wanted his sons to succeed him in running the company, but Gould disagreed. Leonard Tramiel is quoted as saying that this had nothing to to do with Jack leaving.
- Laurence Gonsalves
Jack Tramiel is quoted saying that the issues revolved around financing: "Just because we were a billion-dollar company, we did not have to throw money out the window like a billion-dollar company." and also "I was of the view that we should have made a new stock offering when our shares were highly traded... [Gould] thought this would water down his portion of the company and he would lose influence..."
- Laurence Gonsalves
BTW: The Commodore Story is a great book if you're interested in Commodore and/or computer history in the 70's through 90's. I have a blog post about the book here: http://xenomachina.com/2006... (the book used to be called "On the Edge", but was apparently renamed)

Great article, my first computer I owned and worked on was the Commodore 64 when I got exposed to computers in elementary school. My dad actually wanted me to get an IBM PC Jr, but I wanted a C-64 because the school had it. I'm glad I was one of the people that owned a C-64, and I learned my first programming skills Commodore Basic from the C-64. Thanks Jack Tramiel for the C-64 days!

Scoble: I'm not going to take the bait on that -- I have unfollowed you, that's a neutral statement, it's not meant to hurt your feelings, or otherwise. That's the way this goes. No one is forced to follow. But, you really do get in my face more than I want. I meant everything I said in today's piece. And it's not aimed at you, or supposed to make you feel bad. This is the problem. Everything here is about you, according to you. I don't like it. I'm not asking you to change anything.

But if you want to NOT be the topic of conversation in every which way including ways you don't like, then you should change the way you do things. I'm not going to tiptoe around your ego, esp when you insert it all kinds of places where it doesn't belong.

BTW, I didn't like the way you were dealing with me last spring, so I changed my behavior, I never asked you to change.

I always found it interesting the tendency for one person to reduce another person's interest, or agreement with someone else, to brainwashing or mass delusion merely because they disagree with it.

Dave: people read the post. The issue is that the most interesting portion of the post was in the first paragraph, where you launched into a diatribe about how much you can't stand Scoble being everywhere. It didn't relate to the rest of your post, but you chose to put it out there anyway. You really don't get to control what portions of what you put out in public people react to.
- Mark Trapp
Dave: I'll bet most of the folks repsponding here probably did read your post, and are just responding the first seemingly unrelated "#" where you wish you didn't see so much of Robert, rather than the rest of it where you weigh in on the Arrington/Calacanis v Scoble kerfuffle.

and to think we are arguing about whether bootstrapped startups are going to thrive or die in 2009. I would walk away from all my work and live in a tent for my wife and family if it came down to it... it's just not worth it. I worked for years as a firefighter and EMT and have seen more than my fair share of death and crazy things. Whenever I get stressed at work I think about doing CPR on someone with their family watching... all of a sudden puts things into perspective. life is precious, and too short.

That is similar to they types of sacrifices Americans had to deal with during the depression and WWII. That is what made the US strong. This generation and the last has not seen hardship like our Grandparents did. Most Americans have no idea what real hardship and service to ones country is. We as a nation have gotten soft, lazy and complacent.

If the Americans do not discover what is really important, we as a nation are doomed to be second class citizens in the 21st century in the world that we created in the early 20th century.

Remember, in 2001/02 we saw a raft of startups gain speed that changed the world. Watch for that to happen over next 18 months.

I believe many of the world changing ideas will come from alternative energy/green start ups developing all kinds of new energy storage and energy generation and lighting technologies.

This is exactly what I wanted you to focus on 4 months ago when we were headed downward. Glad to see you focused on this now.

Why Twitority sucks - I am currently listed as the top expert on Myers-Briggs. Why? Because I mentioned it in a tweet. - http://twitority.com/search...

If I mention random infrequently-used phrases in tweets (even if I don't know a lot about them), perhaps Twitority will endow me with additional expertise.

Everyone interested in weather controlling devices should subscribe to me, Twitority claims I'm an authority on them! http://twitority.com/search...

Okay, final one, but I am the leading expert on Amish craftsmanship: http://twitority.com/search...

Presumably a human reader can tell the gamers from the truly knowledgeable, but what of one who FAKES authority? Granted this can and does happen IRL also.

I think you're making an incorrect assumption in that people will be able to find someone authoritative on a topic by searching Twitter. 140 simply isn't enough. Twitter's the wrong medium for searching for experts.
- trextor
How does Twitority identify an authority? That must be a guarded secret algorithm? Trextor, I think FriendFeed is better suited for searching for experts, are there any FriendFeed search tools? I've seen many Twitter tools.

Great, this gives me another social networking paper to read, thanks Om! Shows you the most relevant information can be retrieved from FriendFeed, even for research!

Imagine if Santa had GPS, we could see where he is in real-time using Google Maps. Does Santa have a FF?
- Alvin
I don't think Santa's on FF, but NORAD's tracking his GPS signal . . . http://www.noradsanta.org/en... Gorgeous and kinda fun to watch!
