Does the iPhone make political statements? When I type @whitehouse into my iPhone it tries to change that to @whorehouse.

The iPhone must be racist.

The iPhone does spelling suggestions based on entries in the user's address book. What have you been up to, Robert?
- Glen Campbell
Lies, it tries to autocomplete to "whitehorse".

Glen: that is what Maryamie just asked me.

I tried and it does change whitehouse to whorehouse.

Mine completes to "Whitehorse"

Mine completes to "whitehouse" but here it suggests white-horse and so on :D

When typing "Gnomedex" a couple years ago, I recall it always forcing me to type "Gnomesex" instead. What does *that* say about Apple? ;-)

FireFox, Twitter, FaceBook are all acting up this morning.

Add Posterous too.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Any datacentres in common?????
- Roberto Bonini
Mahendra: posterous seems fine to me -- perhaps you're accessing it using Twitter's OAuth (which could also be affected)? #Edit: gee, that made sense until I remembered posterous uses Facebook connect, not Twitter OAuth...sorry!
- Robert J Taylor
Why is everyone else having problems with Facebook and Firefox but me
- Jon Bishop
No - It's working sporadically, loading slowly. Maybe it's my Firefox? I'm not using FB connect.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
I even had a Oops there was a problem error when commenting here on FriendFeed thru Firefox.

@copyblogger I expect that Google will buy FriendFeed and Twitter within 18 months. Not to mention FlixWagon or Qik or Kyte.

Francine, I'm leaving for the Tel Aviv airport in two hours. Long flight home.

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.

I thought FriendFeed was going to buy Google.

Google can buy what they want to get them at the top. Can they buy the whole Internet?

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.

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.

I agree with FriendFeed

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.

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. ;)

@jane: What damage did Google do to Jaiku? ...via AlertThingy
- Niclas Strandh
@Scobleizer agree re: friendfeed+google

Maybe Paul can coin a new phrase, "Don't be sold."

FriendFeed will be more interesting to Google if it gains mass appeal.

Yeah, I've been saying the same thing...Agreed ...via AlertThingy

google bought jaiku, why should they buy twitter, too? ...via AlertThingy
