exploring the darkside of twitter on NPR http://www.npr.org/templat... - Carl Golden

I've got to remember to use this service more often. - Shane Tilton from BuddyFeed

Blippy certainly is pushing the boundaries. - Caleb Elston

I think he has something to, like you said Leo adding Netflix, Amazon, etc Affiliate links in for instant monetization - Jay Neff

Can I get a scale that lies about my weight then twitters? - Ghworg

It's all opt in, you decide what you want to share, it isn't as big of a deal as I first thought with concerns of privacy really - Jay Neff

Really want a FitBit - Caleb Elston

I think I need to take a screen cap of this. No Johnny W liking a TWiT post. Hmmm he must be busy today. lol - Bill Heslin

Wow. IRC is so crazy. I think the story of the decade is surely mobile and email. The iPhone's popularity is huge for this. Google too. - Elliot Christenson

Leo busy FF room today. Hey everyone! - Bill Heslin

Hey Bill! - Caleb Elston

Hi Caleb - Bill Heslin

Scoble are you going to talk about TSA restrictions on electronics on plane? - Peter Trussell

Maybe - Robert Scoble

Really excited by Square, could really shake up the payments space. PayPal for the real world. - Caleb Elston

and PayPal sucks lol - Jay Neff

here we go. iSlate lol - Caleb Elston

boy if Apple doesn't deliver they are in trouble - Kim Landwehr

Tablets haven't worked that well in the market, so it makes sense that they'd call it a slate instead of a tablet. - Jeff Harbert

@Kim, yeah- I actually just sold the rest of my AAPL stock. - Caleb Elston

All time high, taking profits. Will buy back in a month or so - Caleb Elston

@Caleb, wish I had AAPL stock to buy and sale (: - Kim Landwehr

@Kim not really much stock just about 25 shares - Caleb Elston

The tea leaves for iSlate is the brand new iTunesLP creation tools. All HTML, CSS, Javascript - Caleb Elston

So where do you guys discover the majority of your technews? (besides TWIT :) - Caleb Elston

Caleb - Lifehacker, MakeUseOf, MaximumPC, Twitter. - Jeff Harbert

@Caleb - Digg, The Register, Twitter... - Andrew

@Jeff cool, so no aggregators really? - Caleb Elston

@Andrew Do you do much filtering on Digg? Just the tech areas for instance? - Caleb Elston

Yeah the Tech page is set as my starting point. - Andrew

@Caleb, No, I don't like aggregators. Even for blogs, things like Google Reader and Bloglines annoy me. - Jeff Harbert

@Caleb - One exception to that is Popurls. That one's handy. - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff Interesting. Is there something in particular about them you dislike? - Caleb Elston

Yeah I barely look at Google Reader any more, it's just like a huge inbox you have to crawl through now. - Andrew

@Caleb - Readers don't give me blog comments, for one. I also find that the look and feel of a website will help me remember where I first read something. Blog themes are also usually stripped out and made homogenous by readers. Don't care for that. - Jeff Harbert

can someone post the links to the #twitdecade videos leo plays - Andrew Euell

this guy is annoying - Mark

news producer guy - Mark

I've gotten nearly all my breaking news this year from Twitter. - Jeff Harbert

I learned about Twitter on TWiT. TechTV and it's spawn are one important story of the decade. - Jason R

Twitter definitely provides most of the news/links that I click on. I prefer the layout/design of Original Signal to Popurls, just a shame it seems to have been abandoned. Only annoyance is no way to turn off the popups when you hover on a link. - Andrew

"we have some deep integrations coming with a bunch of different players and big announcements coming up" --Kevin Rose on TWiT - Andrew Euell

anyone know if traffic on digg.com is still growing? - Mark

I think the fire alarm is starting to beep more frequently... - Andrew

Story of the decade is REALLY TWIT. I agree with Jason Robertshaw. I learned of Twitter on TWIT. - Elliot Christenson

those glasses dont suit her - Mark

I agree with her comment. (Now I just need a piece of inexpensive hardware to switch between USB webcams.) - Jeff Harbert

I like my Zi8, but the EIS could be better. - Jeff Harbert

haha! 640x480 - Andrew Euell

I had a cheap HP camera back in the day. Utter crap. - Jeff Harbert

Heh, my mom had the Sony Mavica! :) - Ken Wiesner

My last employer had a floppy-drive Mavica. - Jeff Harbert

we had a mavica for a trip to vegas with the family. BACKUPS could be a story of the decade. Digital is now practical because of BACKUPS. - Elliot Christenson

I know Carbonite is a sponsor but I gotta say their product for Mac really sucks. It doesn't backup video automatically! You have to manually select video files to backup. I switched to Backblaze. We should try to get them as a TWiT Sponsor! - Ken Wiesner

Am I the only one that thinks location services like Foursquare are dumb? - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff hate to disagree, but I think location is actually a core element to be shared. Just like Photos, Video, Text...location is next. - Caleb Elston

@Caleb - but it's so transitory. So I check in at a bar - I won't be there an hour later. - Jeff Harbert

People recommend you for the "Crunk" badge. :) - Ken Wiesner

@Jeff that's true, but tweets are similarly ephemeral, but we now have much better realtime alerting systems so you can actually know about that right away. - Caleb Elston

@Caleb - And it also does me no good to know where anyone non-local to me is. Scoble is having dinner at the Ritz - I'm across the country, so what use is that to me? - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff, bingo - and if you're in a small town, who cares that you just popped down to the gas station in your pyjamas? - Andrew

@Jeff that might be true for Robert, since you don't really know him, but if it were your son or brother it might be interesting, a conversation starter for the next time you speak. - Caleb Elston

@Andrew - Exactly, which is why I think these services are dumb. - Jeff Harbert

@Caleb - I'm actually acquainted with Robert. It still does me no good to know he's having dinner at the Ritz because he's nowhere near me. - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff Touche haha - Caleb Elston

Love Amazon Prime. - Jeff Harbert

I love how the book store guy is kicking everyone's ass in the cloud space. :) - Ken Wiesner

Bezos is a force of nature in business. - Jeff Harbert

NASA should limit its spending to human exploration related activities. - Jeff Harbert

Leo is dropping comments about his wealth alot lately - Mark

@Mark I think Leo is very pleased and confident about the success of TWiT. - Jeff Harbert

best ad transition to date - Andrew Euell

Pet peeve - that's navigation, not GPS. - Jeff Harbert

A TWiT conversation is going to hit best of day. It's been awhile. Love it... - Bill Heslin

Automatic parallel parking is a joke. If you can't drive, don't drive. - Jeff Harbert

I love that electric vehicle thing! That would be so cool! And I cannot wait to become popular P: - Zachary TG

Fully automated cars would be cool though. Real life savers, since most people don't know how to drive safely. - Jeff Harbert

Robert's is right Microsoft is just not cool anymore - Kim Landwehr

I'd still like to have a full computer in my car. - Jeff Harbert

Doesn't the decade begin in January 1st, 2011? - Héctor

Dave Winer and RSS , Scoble names his child after RSS ...I may have to unblock you Robert...lol - Bill Heslin

@Héctor - Leo mentioned that in yesterday's TWiG. He said he'd rather get a little email from correct listeners like you than wait a year and get 10x more from people who think it begins 1-1-10. - Jeff Harbert

Correct. I remember arguing about it 10 years ago, but this time around I don't feel like nitpicking for that same exact reason. Sounds like a good plan. - Héctor

I don't like the iPhone. I need a real keyboard. - Jeff Harbert

Thinking of getting a Droid to replace my Blackberry in Sept when my current cell contract is up for renewal. - Jeff Harbert

Yeah I'm going to drop my BlackBerry Storm - was such a disappointment. - Andrew

Night all - Caleb Elston

Electric vehicles will fit 95% of everyone's vehicle needs. Yes, you will need a second vehicle. - Jeff Harbert

Sorry, it's the public holiday here in Oz for Boxing Day... I just woke up and I'm now going for a swim... - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Later Caleb! - Jeff Harbert

Hey Johnny...Was wondering where you were...Enjoy your day! - Bill Heslin

Please stop thinking that electric cars will 100% replace normal cars. - Jeff Harbert

And btw, good old lead-acid batteries are just fine for electric cars. We don't need a battery breakthrough. - Jeff Harbert

Thank goodness for holidays - this is the first time I've been able to watch TWiT live, as it's after midday Monday in NZ. Although luckily TWiG falls on Sunday here. :) - Andrew

audible = DRM = FAIl - Mark

hey you know how audible uses DRM, how does that work on a CD since a CD doesn't support digital copy protection does it? - Mark

(you can burn audible to cd) - Mark

If you think about it most people spend most of their time driving to and from work and around town, a perfect use for electric vehicles - Kim Landwehr

"earthy crunchy" --Leo Laporte on Kevin Rose - Andrew Euell

@Kim - Exactly. We don't need 350 mile range. 80 is more than enough for most people. - Jeff Harbert

you DO WANT Rackspace as a sponsor, trust me - Mark

(they are very generous) - Mark

Esp when Rackspace goes down and takes half the internet with it. Three times now? Or is it only twice? - Jeff Harbert

meh every host goes down - Mark

99.99% uptime - Mark

@Mark - kills the "cloud" argument though. How can a cloud go down? - Jeff Harbert

well if someone unplugs the power for computers in the cloud i guess - Mark

What kind of plasma? - Jason R

If that's the case, Rackspace needs to restrict access to their power cords. ;) - Jeff Harbert

gotta agree on the HD - Kim Landwehr

there are a whole bunch of weather/technology metaphors yet to be exploited with this whole "cloud" thing - Andrew Euell

HD really has made web video in particular much more enjoyable. - Jeff Harbert

giant women have never been so attractive - Andrew Euell

has a DVD screener leaked yet hehe - Mark

Blogs aren't history, they've become enhancements & supplements to videos and tweets. - Jeff Harbert

I like that comment by Leo - why pigeonhole it? It's all content. - Jeff Harbert

Yay. Dr. Kiki rocks - Bill Heslin

"tough ass particle" --Leo Laporte on the Higgs Boson - Andrew Euell

great - I could understand all of the previous video vignette's except the bio-tech one ;) - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

....and an overpolluted planet with 15 billion people. Something to look forward to. - Jeff Harbert

aging a disease? Cure that, that would b awesome - Bill Heslin

what about a cure for sleep, free of side effects of course - Andrew Euell

@Andrew - or just make sleep more effective. I'd love to get by on 3-4 hours per night. - Jeff Harbert

Biggest story of the decade - social media. It changed the societal consciousness. - echostreamer

it's not Facebook per se, but rather the ability of any company to connect that many people on the internet: Orkut, Twitter, Google Groups, etc - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Zachary TG

Fun show, guys. - Jeff Harbert

Great show, long live TWiT! - Andrew

digitel yamah keyboeerds and roland key boerds have realy advanced in sound and what u can do with them - daveccorey

Why is the Tricaster such a POS??? - Ken Wiesner

Leo thank you for another great year....Peace to you and your family...Have a GREAT New Year. We'll B Here!!!! - Bill Heslin

I noticed on the TWiT youtube channel, Windows Weekly is watched 5-6 times more than the other shows - Mark

As it should b Mark. it's a great show... :) - Bill Heslin

Windows Weekly is 12500+ per show. TWiT the flagship is 2 or 3000 - Mark

The different shows all have different user/viewer profiles for live, re-run, download and now youtube. It's amazing to see the variances - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
