RT @larsras: 11am in Sydney and we've sent out the first few Google Wave invitations. Many more to come during today. Sandbox users first.

pretty sure this Google Wave thing is just an elaborate prank, much like Gmail Paper - http://mail.google.com/mail...

Stone vs iPhone
iphonee.png
Can be used as paperweight ✓ ✓ - Nathaniel Payne
Bunun nokia 3310lusuda var :) - loran the 'amorfati'
I choose stone : ) Better handling : ) - Selim Yoruk
Better standby time, too. - Jordan Hofker
Personally I'm waiting for the iPebble... - Johnny Worthington
Smash a rock into pieces and you get more. Smash an iphone, well, there aren't Nanos coming out. - Jordan Hofker
@Ahmet Buleeeeeent yorum yaz - Muge Cerman
John: I remembered the flintstones' infant daughter Pebbles Flintstone after your comment. She was using a phone like this Stone, wasn't she? : ) - Erhan Erdogan
Still: I have iPod Touch. Haha-haa! - Kristian Salonen
Which proves, people want less features, not more! LOL - Victor Ganata
Yeah, I'd rather have a stone than an iPhone. - Alex Scoble
Stones are also more theft deterrent. - Shawn Farner
Stone is cheaper - Morton Fox
bütün fuar gg oldu :) - Ömer Enis
Hey, there is a huge period of time that we now call the Stone Age. I doubt we will ever have an era named the iPhone Age. - Victor Ganata
Victor: Maybe Apple Age? - Erhan Erdogan
Still: the Apple Age 1976-2008. The Stone Age 3 million BC-3000 BC. Steve Jobs ain't gonna be around *that* long (barring major innovations in life prolongation that I'm sure he'd be able to afford.) - Victor Ganata
When they came out they were hot ✓ ✓ - Benedikt Koehler
For most situations, I prefer the iPhone. I get really bad reception with my rock.. and it's hard to check my stocks and get directions to the pizza joint with it. But it works great as a makeshift mallet for pounding tent stakes when camping! My iPhone's a little to fragile for that. At least my iPhone can double as a flashlight in a pinch! - Jackson D. Carson
OK. I will downgrade to Stone. - Leon Ho
This is classic!! and I'm an iPhone fan!! - Bronwyn
:)) haha - Farzad
Worse is better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ".. limited but exceptionally simple to use may be "better" than that is more comprehensive but harder to use ..." stone is better ;) - Turkey banned Bloggum :(
I'm sorry for this post, I wanna delete it now. :-) I had an iPhone gift and I'm very happy with my new Apple. She is really better than stone. http://friendfeed.com/e... :-) - Erhan Erdogan
...because it has a touchscreen, right? O:-) - Marcos Marado
not touch..multi touch :) - Ömer Zahit Kara
Can knock you out when hit with it: ✓ X - Martha
Too funny! I have to leave a comment when I my laugh turns heads - Rick Bucich
I want to see stone 3.0 when it comes out. - Phil Boiarski
Stil choose the stone. Until someone buy me an iPhone. - İbrahim Uzun [ j ]
Tesekkür! wunderful :-) - stefan m. seydel/sms ;-)
You can build a wall with a stone. - Martha
straight lulz. Wake the fuck up apple. OOOOOH COPY&PASTE COMING SOON!!! - LarchOye
How big (Kb) is a MMS message on average? - Johnny Worthington
I actually don't miss copy and paste. - Victor Ganata
Good question Johnny. Without an attachment, I think they're <5kb. After that, it depends on your attachment I guess! - Will Higgins™
An average MMS (according to Nokia) is 50KB. I pay 50c per MMS. Therefore I am paying 1c/KB or $10.24/MB or $10,485.76 per GB - Johnny Worthington
for mhmazidi - amir72
This image should be updated!! Please tick MMS for iPhone 3G : ) - Erhan Erdoğan
Also one-way video call - Ozkan Altuner
Rock solid build quality ✓ X - Sriks7
stone is not fragile, but iphone is. so better to use a stone. - elodeon
Güzel kıyaslama:) - Murat DEMİR

@copyblogger I expect that Google will buy FriendFeed and Twitter within 18 months. Not to mention FlixWagon or Qik or Kyte.
Wow. I actually agree:-) What airport are you stranded in? ...via AlertThingy - Francine Hardaway
Francine, I'm leaving for the Tel Aviv airport in two hours. Long flight home. - Robert Scoble
Yes, I tend to agree that our FF ex-Googlers with be re-Googlers in the future. - Mike Reynolds
Yeah that would would be great... also, *sooooo* not going to happen. - Jason Shellen
Not interested. Google was ok, but FriendFeed is a lot more fun. - Paul Buchheit
Paul: why? - Amund Tveit
Amund, Google is a big company now. - Paul Buchheit
I thought FriendFeed was going to buy Google. - Amit Patel
Google can buy what they want to get them at the top. Can they buy the whole Internet? - Jack

It's too bad Google has basically stopped innovating and just started bying stuff. Appengine is the pits and they haven't doen much else. ...via twhirl - Soulhuntre
friendfeed is already a spinoff of google ... what would he do with Jaiku ? and you forgot bambuser qwich integrates gmaps .. ...via AlertThingy - Frédérick 2 Baro
@Jack I am sure they will give it a good try, although they will see it more like shaping the internet! ...via AlertThingy - Joe Dawson
Soulhuntre, in a way i do agree with you, but i don't think that Google has deserted innovation, there's so many development projects running there. I think all this acquisition issue is a matter of economic calculations, instead of holding a special team to develop something for several years they just purchase a company that has already spent the time on R&D and created the product. - Nir Ben Yona
ha. i called this back in october: http://gregcbrownyes.blogspot.com/2007... ...via AlertThingy - greg brown
Maybe Google is jsut over-extended. They sat on Jot for years, then ruined it. They haven't done much with Gmail and search is stagnant for them. All they do to generate interest of late is spend money. ...via twhirl - Soulhuntre
@Jack They can't:) - Igor Poltavskiy
They most likely will try. But they won't get too far. - Daniel Spradau
But Google already bought Jaiku. I hope they don't buy FF too soon. I'd hate to see it die under corporate stagnation. - engtech
I agree with FriendFeed - FaceySpacey
I agree...makes sense...one is the search of scrape and link, the other is the search of share and discover = Organise the worlds info ...via AlertThingy - John Kotsaftis
friendfeed looks like a google service, acts like a google service, is built by xGooglers and is a perfect fit for Google. I agree and would love to see it happen. my only question, why didn't the team build this at Google? - timepilot
@timepilot, I wondered the same thing at first. But apart from the possible entrepreneurial benefits, I'm guessing the freedom of development. They now have complete freedom around where they want to take it without the limitations of a large corporate agenda. - Phil Ashman
no more romours ; ) ...via AlertThingy - Kevin
twitter will be a better fit than Jaiku. Friendfeed is already pary of my Google Reader, but I guess it would help to own it - Michael VanDervort
When will they buy Alertthingy? :) - Michael VanDervort
What would Google do with Twitter after the damage they did to Jaiku and Dodgeball? ...via AlertThingy - Jane Quigley
The difference between Jaiku and FriendFeed is that Jaiku wasn't funded and its founders weren't rich. They sold to Google to collect their bucks, and it was the right decision for them. FriendFeed doesn't need to sell out. So unless Google offers really a lot of money, there's no reason to sell unless Google has plans for FriendFeed. Which I doubt - if they had plans, they'd just developed it on their own. ;) - sebmos
@jane: What damage did Google do to Jaiku? ...via AlertThingy - Niclas Strandh
@Scobleizer agree re: friendfeed+google - mutenewt
Maybe Paul can coin a new phrase, "Don't be sold." - Vince DeGeorge
FriendFeed will be more interesting to Google if it gains mass appeal. - Mike Reynolds
Yeah, I've been saying the same thing...Agreed ...via AlertThingy - John Pretto
google bought jaiku, why should they buy twitter, too? ...via AlertThingy - Timo Heuer
I can understand FriendFeed, but Twitter ... Friendfeed need to add more browsing controls, tag clouds, filters etc.... ...via AlertThingy - Alemsah Ozturk

Excellent, Bret. I wish I got the eloquence gene too :) - Shannon Jiménez
Is that your head in the background, paul? - Nick Gonzalez
Nick, that's probably Kevin you see. She actually interviewed both of us -- I have no idea what became of the other video. - Paul Buchheit
I first came across the concept on Dare Obasanjo's blog but apparently it got widespread because Dave Winer blogged about it: http://www.scripting.com/davenet... - Adewale Oshineye
haha, i guess pauls interview didnt make the cut... - bob
"Hey do you think we should this. If other people say yes, then we just do it" What a novel concept! Also releasing quickly and often tweaking & fixing for each iteration... all great processes that make smaller dotcoms awesome and easy to drink the large ones' milkshakes. - Mark Krynsky
And why exactly did they decide to sedate her for the interview? - Richard Hemmer
Congrats on a great promo shot.. - Chris Reed
Nice! Way to go, guys. Tho I have to agree with Richard - what did she smoke before the cameras switched on? - Carla Thompson
Great interview. I learned some things about you guys. - Bwana ☠
Congratulations. Great press. Very well spoken, Bret. They do like asking about Google though, no? :) - Dylan Parker
That reporter was at the FriendFeed launch party, right? You've always interviewed very well, Bret. - Jess Lee
Bret, you're famous! Congrats! - Emily Miller

As my FriendFeed has gotten more full, I find I spend less time reading the articles people post, and more time reading the supporting comments and guessing what the article was about.
