10 Things You’ll See in PR Before the Release of GNR’s Chinese Democracy - http://unspun.shiftcomm.com/2008...
Great title. GNR's Chinese Democracy may be the most ironic album title of all time. - Greg Hollingsworth from twhirl

Apparently You People Don’t Really Care About Twitter Downtime - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r...
I think their measurement strategy may be flawed -- I go to Twitter at least once a month just out of morbid curiosity. And I certainly post tweets in response to tweets that appear on FF but for all intents and purposes Twitter is dead for me. I suspect there are many others like me that are being counted as users that should not be. - Brian Sullivan
it's Twitters sweet, rolling interface that I keep going back to. I can always come back to it and find out what's going on NOW. I just like it. - Shayna
Twitter downtime rarely ever impacts me. I guess I'm not checking at the times a simple refresh won't harpoon the whale. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
No offense, Brian, but if you go to Twitter at least once a month, and you post tweets in response to tweets on FF, then Twitter isn't quite dead for you, is it? Personally, I still use Twitter twice a day. If I hit a failwhale, it's back up within seconds. :shrug: - Brent Newhall
I don't really care about twitter uptime either. - Stefan Hayden
I haven't given up on Twitter. I love FriendFeed, but Twitter still holds some sort of weird charm. So I'll keep using it until it the big fat whale either sinks or flies. A service that's still around after all these beatings and blunders seems to have a little Phoenix blood in it. - phil baumann
well duh or does this constitute a doy? - adolfo foronda
I stick with Twitter regardless fo the fail whale (which I never see since I use twhirl) because it's easy to use and I don't lose features as a result of not logging on every single day (can you hear me plurk?) - Greg Hollingsworth from twhirl
To me it's rather simple -- many of the people I wish to chat with are on Twitter. Only a small portion are on FriendFeed. Even though Twitter is buggy I'll stick with it since it has the community I want to interact with. - Charles Barthold from Alert Thingy
I can honestly say I have never noticed any Twitter downtime :D - Moved to Facebook from fftogo
Twitter is alive becuase of it's userbase. Not just becuase of the mass of users on the service but the percentage of users that don't care about those features recently stripped away to make the site functional (i.e. track, IM) and they surely don't care about the features ff has to offer ahead of Twitter. IMO, it's going to be very hard to persuade people to leave because of the community they've built up and their friends that simply wont leave becuase they don't know any better. - Dan Cameron from MojiPage Bot
Are twitter and friendfeed so similar? I don't think so. FF has more features and hence is more complex. Apart from the obvious userbase network effect, i think twitter's simplicity is the deal here. Direct competitors (plurk, identica, ...) cannot count on network effects. FF is exploiting the need of service convergence, not necessarily playing against twitter. - Giovanni Lion
I love ff and twitter. Twitter is my immediate posting option (looks better and more easily accessed) while ff is my aggregator and twitter conversations spot. There is room enough in the World Wide Webs for both. - Sidney
Plurk is no competition since it has no apps. And it also does not have the user base, hence, twitter wins. Dont get me wrong, I like twitter. Just hoping Evan can improve performance over time. - Photo Larry
Twitter is permanently off for me...I am unable to log into my account. - kamla bhatt

TweetDeck.com - Another Desktop Twitter Client - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r...
I'm using this and like it. I'm going to try it against several of the other popular ones and see which one survives. I stopped using clients because Twitter was down so much and because Twitter's API was just, well, barfing with my data flows. - Robert Scoble
I really like the column view. I use it since two days now and it really makes it easier for me to stay on track, because I have different groups for different people and a few searches on special topics. - Sebastian Küpers
Everyone is talking about this now. - ChaCha Fance
It's the Sumize integration that rocks. Makes this the killer client. - Kevin Gamble
ok, let's try this one too... - Luca Filigheddu
For the italian audience, I commented the tweetdek interface here: http://blog.delbono.eu/2008... - Marcello Del Bono
I have to say that the Summize integration plus the ability to create groups is really cool - Luca Filigheddu
Yes, I agree with luca. Unfortunatley I can't help myself from being uncomfortable with the Air apps look & feel :( - Marcello Del Bono
Looks different from other twitter clients, with that column view, I'll give it a try - João Almeida
TweetDeck rocks! Louis brought it to my attention and I never looked back! Groups, Search, Summize integration, multi-panel view, and slick UI are awesome. Only beef: sucks a lot of memory, but that's sorta my fault for putting multiple searches / group queries in there - gotta tweak it some. Love it!!Se - Susan Beebe
I've officially ditched Twhirl for TweetDeck after using over the weekend. Needs tinyurl though. - Geoff Peterson
Looks promising, however I couldn't run it on PowerPC, the Air installer reports an error. - Ignacio Rodriguez de R,
The column layout is really, really helpful. But I'm missing tons of features from twhirl. Would love to see the column view as an option in twhirl. - Johannes Kleske
One of the columns could be FriendFeed - João Almeida
This could be much cooler if each column could be a different feed, it could be the all in one desktop aggregator. Friendfeed column at the very minimum is almost a necessity with Twitter's issues. - Greg Hollingsworth from twhirl
Looks really promising. I don't like that it requires too much space on my screen, but this is easy to get fixed. And I have already suggested quite a few new features. - Alex Popescu from feedalizr
i'm hardly using twitter thes days, but this is a neat app. much better than most of the other clients i've used including my favorite, twhirl - Cee Bee

Sigh, I miss Sean Connery. - Hao Chen
Daniel Craig is an awesome Bond, way better than Pierce Brosnan He's the first Bond other than Timothy Dalton that I can actually envision killing someone. - Greg Hollingsworth from twhirl
i also miss sean connery... - andy brudtkuhl
when when when? - clarke thomas
I miss Bond girls with really great names...Pussy Galore, Xenia Onatopp, Holly Goodhead, Plenty O'Toole... (ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_girls) - JA Castillo
JA Castillo: I also miss the naked girls in the opening credits - clarke thomas
He doesn't look like a Bond, I just don't see it. - Eddie Ringle
I went to Lake Garda recently where some of the tunnel scenes are filmed - can't wait to see how to drive through them properly! - Rich
ER--I understand, I always envision a strapping man with dark features. I think I'm just so comfortable with Connery. However, I must say that Daniel Craig does indeed do a good job as a Bond. - Anna Haro
The Bond Identity. *marks Nov. 7 on calendar* - cecily
I don't miss the girls with sexist names, nor do I miss them in the opening credits. For this girl, Bond movies have always been about the action sequences, and not those that happened horizontally (or, in the case of Moonraker, while weightless in space). - cecily
Come back Pierce - Alejandro
Jimmy Bond the Humorless Gangster. He does have the cruel streak from the books. Pray he's back to Baccarat and not playing Texas Hold 'em again. - Jericho
Film looks great but still unconvinced about Daniel Craig... - Emma
I Like Craig; more importantly he fit into the scheme of a crude Bond - Casino Royale being the first movie, I kinda liked that he was more blunt than sly; and he fitted that well. That said; no one looked Bond as much as Brosnan and no one can quite sound Bond like Sir Connery. - Parth Awasthi from twhirl
Brosnan had the look, but always struck me as undersized and too slight. Connery will always be the Bond standard. - Jericho

“What is your favorite Excel function? Mine is CONCATENATE.” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
Mine is SUM. - l0ckergn0me
iff()! - Jeff Scott
alt+ f4 - Brooks Bayne
Mine is indirect. It changed the way I use excel, especially for pulling data from millions on external sheets. - Rich
definitely VLOOKUP - Angel Smith
SumIF - Tom Carroll
OFFSET is the secret Excel weapon. I have probably saved millions of dollars with the offset function. Don't sleep! - @baratunde from twhirl
countit, sumif, iif - Al Degutis from twhirl
Possibly COUNTBLANK. For no darn good reason. - Rick Mahn from twhirl
AVG ftw! - Michael Garrison from twhirl
Concatenate has definitely saved me the most time, VLOOKUP is nice too, it's hard to say which is my favorite though. - Greg Hollingsworth from twhirl
