Dont rely on Twitter for your main news source - Greg

Where can we found this Forecast thing? - Chris Gilmore

I don't think twitter is strong enough yet, it may be very popular like other websites but it is not as stable as the others. - Jonathan Day

is twitter so important? - EvilMonkey

Not to sound like a commercial for Windows 7, but watching Leo on full screen with IE 7, pretty nice. For those that are Windows Users, you have something to look forward too, and I m running intensive gaming apps at once! - RALPH

Federated twitter.... use laconi.ca - Ryan

In soviet Russia Google Searches you - Fee501st

Think this was a wake up call for some people regarding Twitter and their dependence on it - Greg

Yea, Win 7 - T C Sandford

evilmonkey how many millions before it's considered "important"? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

I can finally update Twitter from Firefox 3.5.2 again - Gary Kostrivas

I was in mid-tweet when twitter went down - Kevin Ramcharan

"Federated twitter" e.g. laconica is great in theory, but in practice it won't work unless Twitter approves, supports it, and collaborates - Ken Sheppardson

Gary I had no problem with any of the FFox 3.5.x updating twitter - Greg

Well the downtime shows how important people think it is... - Jonathan Day

Given Twitter's role in the Iranian elections, stuff like this is bound to be big news. - Garance Alistair

Why? It's just not that important. Come on! - Allyn Edmonds

What's Twitter? - David Rysz

lol my local news (Toronto) had it as their first story, ahead of the Tragedy on the Hudson. - Dakota O'Neill

I was down in Oklahoma but when I proxied to my california box I could get on twitter just fine. - Eric Boehs

'Cause the news is relying on Twitter for their sources - Carey Lumeng

yeah leo, all that media tlalking about it - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

millions of what? - EvilMonkey

Twitter isn't important. It's a drug and "shiny new thing", but nothing more. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

Jon and Kate were also at the top of the news for a while. You can't infer importance from the fact that something's in the news. - Ken Sheppardson

I think that Molly is right on this - RALPH

Just like Charlton Heston in Omega Man - ZillaFan

How often does that happen...meaningful conversation? - Allyn Edmonds

I had a normal day .. twitter had no effect - Greg

Greg - for two days all I got was the spinning thing when I tried to update when using firefox - Gary Kostrivas

Friendfeed is better then twitter - Fee501st

Friendfeed is great! - RALPH

Last Twitterer on Earth - ZillaFan

Dvorak must be having a cow right now - Carey Lumeng

Friendfeed makes a good companion to twitter though, a good bridge I should think. - Jonathan Day

twitter, like a bad hollywood movie - decjr

Leo don't forget to mention Open Street Map - Jim Shaver

Teens don't use twitter ahaha, its funny because there are more grandparents on facebook! - Dakota O'Neill

Yeah. .we need Dvorak to comment on this... Probably why he didn't come on twit this week - Eric Boehs

people in irc are saying friendfeed is too complicated.. huh? - Greg

I think Twitter and Friendfeed have their own place - RALPH

Drovak, meh, move on - min

The media just like the sound of the word "Twitter". Twitter. - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter needs a dedicated fail whale server - Eric Boehs

Leo loves to hate and hates to love Twitter. - Aaron Coe

Father's who tweet to much and the daughters who block them. - Gary Kostrivas

Here we go!! - Jonathan Day

It may have something to do with the manner of comment and how to get it to work lol - RALPH

(repeatedly stunned) - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

no audible yet,,,commonnnnn - harry burgos

I guess I should check out FriendFeed more often. - Garance Alistair

I'm a teen and use Twitter, my friends (in the UK) are starting to use it - Chris Gilmore

AT&T works fine in Oklahoma area... Great 3G coverage for such a low pop state - Eric Boehs

That's why I have an Android Phone instead of a IPhone. I don't like AT&T. - John Lyons

Chris Gilmore - same with me! - Dakota O'Neill

too many of you tech heads with iphones - EvilMonkey

sounds like we need to have a Global Twitter Support Group, now lets organize and use twitter to get the word out, LOL - Dave T

T-Mobile has crap 3G coverage - Eric Boehs

AT&T dies has soon has you enter a building here - Fee501st

I'd switch to go to a Google Cell Network - Mike

Exactly the same conversation we used to have 10 years ago RE dial-up providers. - Ken Sheppardson

I have not thought about T Mobile of being an alternative, but my AT&T here in Florida runs pretty good - RALPH

the terrorists are coming! - Dakota O'Neill

I wouldn't go back to Verizon. Each carrier has their own problems. I don't have any AT&T problems with my iPhone. - David Rysz

I get 80 kbps on Rogers.... If it is a concentration problem, how do they do it in Japan and Singapore - Jim Shaver

T-Mobile has great customer service but poor coverage service. - Dale Feinstein

I use T-Mobile G1 for my phone and back it up with an iPod Touch. - Gary Kostrivas

I couldn't be happier with my Palm Pre and Sprint these days, btw. - Ken Sheppardson

thats a ridiculous line, if you jail break your iphone the terrorists win. - mikemcmullan

Dale where are you ..? part of the country? - TalkToMeGuy

its unlocking, not jailbreaking for T-Mob - cxx dxx

Nice straw leo :P - Eric Boehs

I'm looking at cell phones and going to be curious about how people feel about the MyTouch, since I refuse to go iPhone, though the Galaxy isn't far off... - Patrick Sullivan

Will there be a mass exodus from at&t when the iPhone ends up on Verizon? - Jim Bednarz

The Google/Apple FCC saga will end with the FCC stepping in saying allow the app. - Luis

Yep, until the day the Tablet is announced. Ohh, Ahh. - Mike

@TalktoMeGuy: I am in southern New Jersey (Ocean County). - Dale Feinstein

Yeah that tablet rumour is worrying me... - Jonathan Day

Apple is not consistent with approval process. - DesertWeather

Most of the people with iPhones I know have only a few apps and love it. GV isn't going to touch them - Carey Lumeng

Google Voice is Sweet ! I use it a Lot ! - TalkToMeGuy

The developer note published on Saturday says that “based on the current app submission, 96 percent of applications are being approved within 14 days.” - Eric Boehs

Google Voice is appealing to anybody who has more than one phone number of voicemail system, i.e. home and work. I think y'all are going just a *little* overboard with the "We only care because we're the tech elite" argument - Ken Sheppardson

virtual arm wrestle! - Dakota O'Neill

Beat her in wow - Fee501st

What is a Chumby?? - Julie Manweiler

Awh!! Chumby is so cute, yeah I want one too ladies, I want that very fancy alarm clock. - Jonathan Day

@aron Coe Watching TWIT on the Mac watching FriendFeed stream on iPhone - Jacqueline from iPhone

I like Apple, but I'm annoyed about Google-Voice getting blocked. I do know some people who really don't understand the point to Google Voice, and we can't explain it to them. - Garance Alistair

I use my N800 instead of the CHUMBY - RALPH

Rock paper scissors!! - Jonathan Day

Whats #1? - Fee501st

Bing! - Jim Bednarz

myspace had a moment? - Dakota O'Neill

Myspace peaked about 1988 - Jim Shaver

Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook - Ken Sheppardson

Facebook is 6th in the US behind Google, yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, and the Fox Interactive properites - Ken Sheppardson

Alex - click on the time stamp and you get 1 webpage of just these comments! - Dakota O'Neill

Oh no Molly's gone!! - Jonathan Day

Long ago and far away - RALPH

Veronica won, molly is gone - Fee501st

I still greatly prefer MySpace over Facebook for tracking music. But I don't use MySpace for anything outside of music. - Garance Alistair

Stand-alone pop up for this thread - http://friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson

once you get twitter you understand it! - Dakota O'Neill

thanks Ken Sheppardson - Jim Shaver

molly , get a better connection please - harry burgos

she's on wifi, she can't help it - Dakota O'Neill

I wonder what's average time spent on facebook - mikemcmullan

Molly makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl - like someone said titmouse up in here! - Jonathan Day

1 Billion googles - min

twitter is bigger then digg now, wow didn't know that - Dakota O'Neill

Google understands the nature of a distributed network infrastructure. My guess is Twitter... less. - Ken Sheppardson

bing will have them before the end ot the year, ha - EvilMonkey

Facebook is doing everything that Classmates.com wanted to do, except Classmates.com turned into a total ad agency. - Garance Alistair

Yeah, if you write a page about a topic, guess what... it pops up pretty high in the list of relevant articles for that topic. (i.e. wikipedia) - Ken Sheppardson

Plus Wikipedia often holds the answers to whatever you're searching google for. - Jonathan Day

The "same old thing" aspect of Google is why I use Yahoo and Bing... and dmoz. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

I took the Search Engine Blind Test and I picked Yahoo. - Gary Kostrivas

gotta go lookup hegemony - Jim Bednarz

People like finding info in a familiar format... Wikipedia gives them that - Jim Shaver

I think one side-effect of Google being so successful is that fewer people have their own web pages with links to sites. And those other links used to be one of the ways Google decided what pages should be on the first page. - Garance Alistair

Yes, if many people think an article is relevant... isn't it... you know... more likely to be relevant? - Ken Sheppardson

what's bing? - min

google has a twitter? - Scott H

oic - min

the blind search engine test is down. we crashed it - Dakota O'Neill

google is all about backlinks - Jörg Reinhardt

bing is microsoft's competing search engine. - Ronald Hahm

it was down before you said it leo. BTW I always pick google on the blind test thing. - Dakota O'Neill

Wikipedia is so widely found because everyone links to it, because its cc - Jörg Reinhardt

You can do it in safari with glims - Ward Miller

"screw you" apple - Dakota O'Neill

Leo add Glims - Ward Miller

Understatement of the Week: Apple not exactly open - Jim Shaver

LONG LIVE GNU/LINUX! - RALPH

So anybody else have a Pre? :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Apple: Because pretty things are often painful. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

Like Club Fed - craig keenan

Bing on Safari? Install Inquisitor - Carlos Duarte

Molly is PC only - Fee501st

All Hail Linux the luxurious - Jim Shaver

oh dear - RALPH

Veronica - Dakota O'Neill

Wasn't it Alex on Macbreak that was putting forward the theory that there was orginally only one Steve, and that some strange time/space discontinuity split him into Woz and Jobs? - Ken Sheppardson

blindsearch.fejus.com - Mitch Boettcher

apple fail - EvilMonkey

Long Live LINUX! - RALPH

Apple knows we are talking about them - Jim Shaver

lol freaking sound engineer! - Dakota O'Neill

Sound engineer or Cylon - Gary Kostrivas

yea, tea inhalant - min

Dvorak - Jim Shaver

Can I mention his name? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

No, not Dvorak - Ken Sheppardson

lol! - Dakota O'Neill

Adam Currey - Jim Shaver

curry - Jim Shaver

g gang episode.... - min

does his name rhyme with mvorak? - Jim Shaver

Dane Golden - Jim Shaver

i can't wait until html5 comes fully. i hate flash, your lagging on me leo :( - Dakota O'Neill

rhymes with Ganter - Jan Ole Peek

What min and Jan said. - Ken Sheppardson

I totally agree with Veronica. - Jonathan Day

Not allowing "targeted messaging" on Twitter seriously constrains the potential to commercialize the service. - Ken Sheppardson

I don't mind people who advertise "their stuff", but not an ad that someone is paying to insert their commercial in someone else's life. - Garance Alistair

Molly is grand! - James Larmore

This discussion is immediately following a GoToMeeting ad? Hm. - Ken Sheppardson

That is why Leo brought it up - Hector

Ah... I tuned out during the ad. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

A big problem with spam ads is that they suck. They are not interesting or helpful. Compelling ads or products don't usually make spam. Just a thought. - Joel R

The line is most blurred on TWiT when it comes to Drobo on Macbreak and TWiP - Ken Sheppardson

Alex, Scott, etc. are all fans of the product, who are also paid to "evangelize", in a sense - Ken Sheppardson

You choose what twitter is for you, it can be about conversation with people who interest you or it can be following tonnes of random people. - Jonathan Day

All of us are on Twitter to advertise. - Ken Sheppardson

@Ken those are part of the PixelCorps though - Jim Shaver

I don't like the idea because somebody could make it look like an ad but it might actually be say a website with a virus. - Dakota O'Neill

Yes, Oprah is on twitter to advertise herself. But the people *FOLLOWING* Oprah are following her because they expect that. They want Oprah's ads. - Garance Alistair

it really depends on how often the ads come up - Daniel E. Renfer

Twitter will be history this time next year - Rick

did the first podcasts have adds? - EvilMonkey

no - Jim Shaver

Also, Twitter is the company which is spending all the money to make the service available, and these commercials are not financially helping Twitter. - Garance Alistair

Humans are inherently internally inconsistent and hypocritical, and we don't like it when other people do things we think it's OK to do ourselves. We all just need to learn to live with it and move on. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

I love Molly Rants !! I finally lived long enough to hear bull crap and Oprah's name [brand] used in the same sentence !! - TalkToMeGuy

I am Mad about DIGG.COM's sponsored stories!!! I think that is just as messed up as ad tweets - Nick Young

I've been seeing a lot of twitter spam bots that have 4 random facts, and then one ad. I removed them - Daniel E. Renfer

What if the ads were personally selected by the person on twitter ? - Jason Cartwright

@Rick I agree, though I'd give it two years at the most - TeraDyne Azurepaw

It was years before podcasts had ads - Jim Shaver

as long as you put a mute tag in the tweet so I can mute it - min

facebooks ads are just dirty - Dakota O'Neill

Leo has difficulty seeing other point of view here. As for me, I just won't follow an ad dropper. So some people will drop ads, and others won't. What's the big debate about? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Just let the market decide. If their content isn't important enough to you, you stop following, if their content is important to you, you're gonna continue following even if they have ads - Stephen Pickering

Preternat: He's trying to reconcile his same basic reaction with the sponsorship system on TWiT - Ken Sheppardson

too many url shorteners... - decjr

bittercakes. ahaha cute. - Dakota O'Neill

URL shortening is a commodity with no marginal value. All the services will start to fall by the wayside, and it'll just become a feature of other sites and services. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken ok, but my point still is, how one person reconciles it can be different from others. His is not the only point of view. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

I like moourl because it has a cute cow on it. - Jonathan Day

Preternat: I agree with you. - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter: we couldn't find a buisness model, so we're shutting down - Daniel E. Renfer

URL shortening is a short term arbitrage sort of opportunity. If you're building a business around it, you're doomed. - Ken Sheppardson

tr.im had great stats too - Klaus Bach

Name the show: TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes - Fee501st

Bingo - Ken Sheppardson

TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes - Hector

To be fair, I have to add... I prefer his point of view. It's just not the only view. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Bitly is gonna build a nice business around it - Stephen Pickering

I agree and disagree, I follow certain people to advertise what they wrote or did not advertise someone elses product. I block people who only post ads, it's spam to me. I don't use twitter for ads, I use it more as an RSS in a way - Dave Hoffman / N3PRO from twhirl

Why can't Twitter automatically convert the shortened URLs to the actual URLs? - Dale Feinstein

He needs money for his podcast not Twitter, Twitter is free his cost to buy stuff to make his broadcast better isn't, so ads help to make back the money he spends to bring the program to us. - Jacob Chimilar from iPod

Bit.ly has a Firefox plugin to preview - Nick Young

@Leo The security aspect might be a good topic for an episode of Security Now. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

another reason to go mac - min

Scott gets it. You have to trust the person posting the link. - Ken Sheppardson

Wow Leo is pissed - Hector

Adrian: First time listening? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Imagine. A Twitter conversation on "Twit Live". Who would have guessed? :-) - Garance Alistair

Don't interrupt the Leo! - Hector

He was more pissed that Coleen stole his passwords :D - Nick Young

Is Twitter reliable - Jim Shaver

Patents, copyright, trademark... all the intellectual property laws are fundamentally broken and not keeping up with technology. - Ken Sheppardson

reliable twitter aint - EvilMonkey

I invented the wheel. What's prior art? - Daniel E. Renfer

I invented Patent Oswalt - Gary Kostrivas

patent is a good business. It doesn't require a real product - min

Patents: For those who can't make money the honest way - TeraDyne Azurepaw

She should! She would be awesome, made to rant in a legal capacity. - Jonathan Day

Isn't patent law fundamentally unchanged since it was developed in Italy back in the 15th century? - Ken Sheppardson

This conversation would be very different if @acedtect & @therealdvorak were here - Mike

you have to be an engineer to be a patent lawyer, right ? - cxx dxx

Going to law school to study patent law these days is equivalent to going into engineering to learn about buggy whip dynamics - Ken Sheppardson

patents try to increase innovation where there is none. We have plenty of innovation in the tech world and the current patent regime stifles it - Jim Shaver

It used to be that you could apprentice with an attorney for seven years, and that would allow you to sit for the Cal BAR in CA. Not anymore. You have to take classes at a law school now. You can, however, pass law school and call yourself a JD (Juris Doctorate). - shelter watch

Can't skip past the ad on the live stream can you? >_< - Jonathan Day

No, Jonathan, you can't. 'cause they sneak in content during the ad ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

if you stop the stream and come back in... say 20 mins - Jim Shaver

@Ken, Leo makes content out of the ads. He's just that good. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

He's certainly mastered the Paul Harvey ad format :-) - Ken Sheppardson

good day - min

NICE - Ken Sheppardson

:-) - Ken Sheppardson

I'm not taking that risk, there might some gems of content hidden in the ad in that case. That being said I might actually give Squarespace a try - need to sort out my wordpress.com blog. - Jonathan Day

There's an online law school (non-ABA approved) which allows you to sit for the BAR for $3K plus per year. There's another law school which meets only M-TH at night only for people who want to have a law degree for nonprofit type purposes (People's Law School or something like that). $5K plus per year. - shelter watch

The little reference paperbacks I carry with me most often are ~4.5"x7". That's 8" corner to corner. A device that size would be pretty darn handy. - Ken Sheppardson

Toby remembers when COKE TANKED! - Da-Chief

My question is, what happens to all those purchases when they finally make a Color Kindle? Will you be able to get your book in color? - RALPH

I have an ebook reader: my eeePC 900A. Displaying text is all it seems to be good for anymore. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

goverment reg for computer are too stiffeling. - Howard Losiewicz

My honest guess would be that as soon as most 'cyber czar' candidates see what the NSA, et al are already doing they realize they really don't have a role other than PR - Ken Sheppardson

I don't think regulations are "too stifling," but I do think walking into a role like that brings with it an unparalleled exposure to bureaucracy...at a level you wouldn't get even as a CIO of some of the largest companies - Marco Iacono

I like the Sun for the articles - min

The "Ted Turner" model... - craig keenan

I thought that there is some type of law which requires a non-US citizen to only own a certain amount (percentage) of media. There was a big deal with Rupert Murdock about 10 or so years ago over this. Maybe he became a citizen? - shelter watch

breaking news: the Pre will be successful - Jeremy Stanley

Interesting that the feed is a little faster than the video feed. It's like it's clairvoyant. - Scott Thomas

Paul, i only complain that there's no 3g in my city while smaller cities nearby have it - Chris Heath

G1 (T-Mobile) and iTouch is better than switching to iPhone with AT&T. - Gary Kostrivas

There's free tethering apps on T-Mobile for the G1!!!! - Ross Johnson

Wil's right - Jeremy Stanley

I've always assumed that all the Customer Service Reps suck! - Paul Blasman

"Subsidy" http://i.gizmodo.com/5284318... - Kevykev

That's ATT hacking Dwight's connection - Devon Blugh

iphone or pre? - Paulo Custodio

How can Palm not have any plans for a world GSM version yet? - Thomas Søndergaard

AT&T realized they've been discovered...no more interference - Devon Blugh

I think Android will suffer the same problem as Windows Mobile, multiple handset manufacturers and no consistency of user experience between phones. - Callum

Should I pay for an ETF when the Pre comes to Verizon? - Jeremy Stanley

Looks like according to the details, the full price only applied to people with the 3G iPhone... - Jamison Judd

first palm needs to survive thomas - vondutch

Thomas, I think they do, just no planned release date - Devon Blugh

I've had positive experiences with both Windows Mobile and Android so far. - Ross Johnson

Verizon doesn't line wifi on their phones though... - Joel W Tscherne

But is it really worth it for Apple to create a CDMA iPhone? - Michael

I was on verizon for 7 years. I loved verizon but i never liked any of their phones. I went to the iphone - richie hernandez

Michael - how hard is it to make another chip? - Paul Blasman

Verizon likes too much control on their handsets... - Ari

verizon would love to have the iphone - Chris Heath

My concern exactly Joel - I'll bet if the iPhone comes out on Verizon it doesn't have wifi - Mark Moran

Paul - They need to write the drivers for the CDMA chipset, too. Put it through FCC testing, etc. I just don't know if it's worth it. - Michael

Verizon turned down the iPhone. Think they would make a different decision now? - Scott Thomas

I bought my iPhone in April so I'm stuck with the 3G for awhile. Of course I'll get the next version! - Joel W Tscherne

You can get refurb 8Gig 3G for $79, that's a tempting upgrade - Paul Blasman

Thats just mobileme, not the 3g s - Simon Wicks

I realized that the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre have the same CPU and graphics chips - Matthew

You can turn it off on the phone too - Mark Moran

paul $99 for the old 3g - Chris Heath

And a thief can turn off the location service on the phone. - Michael

cold medicine - Scott Thomas

O2 Pre-Pay iPhone 3G 8GB - £342.50, iPhone 3G S 16GB - £440.40 & iPhone 3G S 32GB - £538.30 - Michael Mooney

Ahmedinejad! - Michael

give up the link to the funny Apple commercial plz :) - rob friedman

MobileMe is garbage IMHO. - Bill Grant

MobileMe is too expensive but it's nice when you rebuild a Windows PC and Contacts and Calendar items are synched to Outlook. - Callum

LOL - HeavenLike

it's not just CNN though - Chris Heath

i think i would get mobileme if it was $52 - richie hernandez

Callum I agree, Mobileme should come with the iPhone service - Paul Blasman

you can find mobileme greatly discounted lots of places, i think it's $69 at amazon - James Tussey

Just use Google Sync instead of MobileMe... works great for me. - Jason Hansen

I got it for $69 when I bought my new MacBook Pro - Joel W Tscherne

content... not context on Twitter. Though journalism might not always get context right - Jeremy Stanley

Good point Darren - Callum

I heard on the radio this morning that foreign journalists are being arrested and confined to the hotels. - Johnny

should get Scoble's wife on to talk about Tehran - Chris Pugh

darren landrum over time, and vetting. it's not always possible, but usually - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Does anyone know if "The Daily Show's" Jason Jones is still in Tehran? - Jeremy Stanley

Fareed Zakaria gets it. - Ken Sheppardson

Were news outfits not aware that Iran was having elections? - Bill Grant

bill grant good point, but people should also demand it - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Are there any "Verified Accounts" from Twitter users in Iran? - Ken Sheppardson

But how do you cover things when you are about to get arrested? - Johnny

http://tehranbureau.com/2009... - Daniel Rowley

Apple need thier own digg site to take on AP & REUTERS with user content. - Michael Mooney

@Ken yep... i guess the point is our first (not necessarily the best or most accurate) place to get breaking news might be twitter. The trending topics are amazing. - Bill Grant

Can't trust eyewitness accounts. We don't know the real source of the tweets! - Joel W Tscherne

@Joel, i have to kinda agree, look at the Digg army and the faked front page stories as an example. - Ryan Scullen

otoh i felt i usually got better overview with a weekly magazine or hour pbs show. up to the minute news isn't exactly highly enlightening, in general - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

HI all my first time in this. - caffeinefreedavid

You should not take everything posted on twitter as gospel - Greg

We only see something from one individual's point of view. Many conspiracy theories are still alive because ONE person claims to have seen something that can't be easily disproved. - Joel W Tscherne

Leo, does a Re-Tweet count as a second source? - Gabe

up-to-the-minute speculation is especially aggravating - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

I think the problem is that it was the weekend... the news stops then - Jeremy Stanley

Then they jump on a story too quick and it's a prank call - Mark Moran

no it doesn't gabe - Chris Heath

if you Apple made it a yearly membership that will help - Michael Mooney

Flickr has a great photostream - Howard Losiewicz

The day CNN or any other "major news outlet" goes on the air to simply report on what they're reading on Twitter is the day they lose any last shred of credibility. - Ken Sheppardson

agreed ken - Chris Heath

I don't want my news channel to tell me what it means - I'll figure it out for myself - Mark Moran

You're right Ken. - kenneth glenn

Context is everything in live coverage - Gabe

@Greg Agreed (on twitter <> gospel) but I think people used to think of the news media as gospel and this is also incorrect. People are better off taking lots of sources and drawing their own conclusions. This was mentioned during the last or second to last twit... - Bill Grant

This is the service that is summarizing the real-time web version of the Iran events - http://iran.twazzup.com/ - Chris Saad

Unfortunately old fashioned TV/Radio companies have cut their budgets so much that I'm surprised they do ANY live international reports - Joel W Tscherne

If you want random 140 character anecdotes from anonymous sources, you've go Twitter. If you want somebody to spend a few hours collecting information, verifying sources, and asking follow-up questions, you've got CNN - Ken Sheppardson

Bll Grant true but at least you know with networks where to complain.. it twitter u have anonymous postings - Greg

There is no rush. John nails it. - Ken Sheppardson

yup - Chris Heath

The BBC picked up the riots pretty quickly. They've been covering the whole event for weeks. Even a breaking news banner for CNN would suffice, regardless of edited footage, surely they have journalists on the street. - Daniel Rowley

It's not about rush - it's about avoiding the filter - Chris Saad

Why do we watch car chases? Because we're idiots. - Ken Sheppardson

If stringers can provide accurate context and journalistic style coverage they would be worth paying leo - Gabe

There are never any car chases where I live in North Carolina. - Michael

@Greg I suppose, but I think people just assume journalists are by definition balanced when in reality everyone has a bias. - Bill Grant

Great conversation, excellent guys! - Ryan Massie

Haha Michael only once every 5 years - kenneth glenn

When people are streaming video, is that mis-information? - Colin

The newsrooms have been victim of cost cutting for years now. Cheaper to have shows with talking heads. Now, we can't get real news because they don't have people positioned in the hot spots of the world. - Eric - Too Hot

cave man instinct. hard to overcome. like tribal prejudice. hmm, going of on tangent now :) - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

People want to always be the first to tell a story. It's why they can often be wrong! - Joel W Tscherne

Kenneth - I'm just down the road from you in Chapel Hill, but within spitting distance of the Durham line. - Michael

@Colin Interesting.... but we all know that even video can be misleading if taken out of context. - Bill Grant

On the other hand, CNN will spend 6 hours on a fixed shot of some plane sitting on a tarmac speculating about what's going on inside with no real information whatsoever, so... there's a bit of a double standard. - Ken Sheppardson

I mean we criticize them for that. - Ken Sheppardson

CCCC - Car Chase Cable Channel - Dave T

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. - Ken Sheppardson

Conversation is such a lame buzzword~~~ - Ross Johnson

CNN INternational had great coverage on Twitter and on their network this weekend. The people who decided NOT to switch to the International feed should be fired. - joebrooks

24/7/365 live as it happens off a ticker kills the story for most viewers - Michael Mooney

That's the definition of news isn't it, up to the date information. - Daniel Rowley

I wonder if BBC was covering the events in Iran faster than the US new stations? Is the US new stations only caring about in-the-country-news? - Ryan Scullen

why does the "twit live desktop 2.0" only do audio now? it used do video a few weeks ago. ....ah it worked as soon as I opened a twit live tab in my browser. Odd - Ian Murphy

I was in Egypt recently and I was amazed about how different the CNN International stories were from the ones on CNN in the U.S. - Bill Grant

Daniel: No. Live 24x7 streams of everything happening everywhere all the time isn't "news". "News" is somebody with some experience and judgement filtering out stuff that matters and flagging it for others. - Ken Sheppardson

News isn't news if it isn't accurate. That just makes it rumor. - Joel W Tscherne

jim stanger bugs me too... angers me. chichen and egg tho... also have to blame the consumer who's buying it. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Ryan: the BBC were covering events way before CNN. - Daniel Rowley

I also thought @BreakingNews on twitter was doing SUPERB coverage of the events in Iran. - joebrooks

The other problem with TV news is the need to be commenting on every story. I don't care about pundit Joe Blow's opinion on a topic. - Joel W Tscherne

Why isn't what I had for lunch "news"? Because it's irrelevant to everyone except me. We know that because "journalists" watch the live feeds and call our attention to what's important. - Ken Sheppardson

@Richsanchezcnn was doing a better job than CNN recommending ppl to follow - kenneth glenn

this show has more scoops than ben&jerry's - vondutch

The role of journalism is to watch the live feeds and tell us what's important, what matters, and what's going to affect our lives. - Ken Sheppardson

...and verify. Check sources, make sure not so spread rumor, put things in context... - Ken Sheppardson

Joel - agreed. i see more straight to the actual events news here in canada. US has too many "news celebrities" that skew information WAY too much with their commentaries. - Ryan Scullen

Good point Dwight. I love reading the same story in multiple ways in my rss reader. - Joel W Tscherne

you can do a nearly 24/7/365 live as it happens off a ticker but you have to have content to help viewers understand the ticker news - Michael Mooney

but Ken, those feeds offer a narrow view of a situation, with very little context. A remote aggregatior can't provide that reliably - Gabe

What do you mean "but" Gabe? What did I say that you disagree with? - Ken Sheppardson

I don't mean "feed" as in sit there watching Twitter, I mean everything that's happening everywhere. I was speaking figuratively. Sorry... - Ken Sheppardson

@micheal that's why i don't understand why ccn cut ccn-text, that was very informative - vondutch

Ken: I don't think news should just be information that affects our lives. We can understand and have reported information streamed to us without it necessarily having any direct impact upon us. - Daniel Rowley

Whose picture is that on the video feed for TWIT? That bearded guy does not look like the chief cranky geek. - Bill Grant

What about Libel or Slander. How can you trust what is being "reported" - William

Bill, it's Dvorak's skype avatar - Chris Heath

voice of san diego rocks! - Jeremy Stanley

@Chris LOL thanks, must be as accurate as a SecondLife/WoW avatar - Bill Grant

I'm saying that traditional journalism has the advantage of trained professionals on the ground rather than armatures that might not know what questions to ask, video to shoot, and could get themselves hurt if they are not careful - Gabe

Daniel: I disagree. If it doesn't affect other people, it's not news. It's the journalists job to *explain* HOW it affects our lives. - Ken Sheppardson

Classifieds (which is what Craigslist is destroying) was the crack cocaine of newspapers. Classifieds aren't related to the news or delivering the audience of news. Classifieds could appear anywhere that enough eyeballs collect. The audience for NEWS is differerent from the audience for classifieds. That so many newspapers depended upon the easy money of classifieds was a convenient drug. Now newspapers are going cold turkey and need to find how to live with the smaller NEWS audience. - JR Holmes

bill, he used to have a rainbow clown hair avatar - Chris Heath

@Ken - I disagree. What happens in Iran does not affect my life. That statement is only true the more local the story MIGHT be. - Ryan Scullen

@Chris Now that sounds more accurate :-) - Bill Grant

Ryan: I didn't say what's going on in Iran doesn't affect us. It does. The news outlets need to explain why. Tweets in isolation don't do that. Twitter is raw material. - Ken Sheppardson

it would be nice if the major news programs at least had a ticker at the bottom. Wish they spent more on their research, correspondents and less on their gee wiz gimmicks. - Kim Landwehr

Ken: how does it affect your day to day life unless you have family or travel plans to the area? My point is your statement is true for local stories, but not necessarily for international stories. - Ryan Scullen

Journalism and news aren't just a matter of narrating what you're watching. You need to have context and explanation. - Ken Sheppardson

@Ryan This Earth is getting smaller, 100 years ago I bet someone could say something happening a state over doesn't affect him/her. - Bill Grant

Nigel Planer did an episode of Carpool which was a good watch - Iain

Does Friendfeed have other "conversations"? Like for the Iran Election? - Randy Willard

Libel/Slander: If you mess up as a journalist, like make stuff up, then you don't work again in the business. You'll then have to become a blogger or find another industry. - William

Ryan: Great question. I'm sure if you watch The News Hour on PBS on Monday they'll have 10-15 minutes with experts who'll put it all in context for us. Or, we can just watch random tweets from people allegedly in Iran. - Ken Sheppardson

@Bill Grant The compressed world is what makes it important to me. As Jim illustrated, it is important because the US will need to respond in some manner and that will cost you money. - JR Holmes

Randy, this is a 'room' or 'group' created by leo for the specific purpose of discussing the live stream shows ... there's nothing stopping someone from starting an 'iran-election' group - but getting people to coalesce around the group is the hard part... that doesn't happen easily/quickly - Chris Heath

Randy: Other FriendFeed conversations on the Iran elections - http://friendfeed.com/search... - Ken Sheppardson

@JR 100% agree... Things that happen in other countries matter to me in a way that might not have affected my great grandparents in their time. - Bill Grant

yeah ken, a search is a good way to find stuff - Chris Heath

Jim - I agree that stories can impact us later, but international stories tend to have less of a direct impact compared to national stories. - Ryan Scullen

I really like the new friend feed, they've done a good job improving it to make it useful. - Bill Grant

OK, I'm not familiar with FF yet, and wondered if it was possible. thanks - Randy Willard

i back john.c's comment - Michael Mooney

@Ryan Well true that the things that affect you most are the closest (at least usually). - Bill Grant

in a bigger context, i see vetting (eg journalistic) sources as an essential act that everyone should learn... as demonstrated even here, in ff. i need to be able to assess, then depend on a hierarchy of reliable sources above me. it takes time to do that - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Ken - news organizations can get access to more 'official' sources of news (aka government representatives) but we all know that PR does not tell the real story. tweets as raw info, at least to me, is more valuable. RTs don't count. twitpics = more legitimacy. - Ryan Scullen

The web's going to take over the console business - Stephen Pickering

Sims 3 sets franchise record 1.4 million copies in first week http://news.cnet.com/8301-10... - Jim Lyons

low cost, small sized games like Tetris are the way to make money - Michael Mooney

my first real use of ff... i wish i could see avatars to help me remember what comments belong to who - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

My current favorite game is the NY Times Crossword app on my iPhone! - Joel W Tscherne

Jim - once news organizations have a crystal ball to tell us the future with 100% accuracy, I'm ditching web news and watching tv news again lol. - Ryan Scullen

World of Goo anyone??? - Ross Johnson

Leo: Basis for that statement, please. - Ken Sheppardson

which statement (for me and for the record here)? :) - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

sounds like an eeePC model # - Gabe

That's the plot for Deep Impact. 14 year old spots the comet first - Joel W Tscherne

"Sepulveda [Pivotal Labs], whose group builds applications for companies wanting mobile offerings, said he’s advising his clients — Twitter, BestBuy and Salesforce among them — to start on the Pre. The phone’s operating system, called WebOS, offers the most compelling place to build and test a prototype, for both cost and technology reasons, he said." -- http://venturebeat.com/2009... - Ken Sheppardson

give palm pre some time for people to develope before you write it off - Omar Atin

Did I just hear that right, one side of the USB ports on a Mac are better than the other? - Bill Grant

yup - Ross Johnson

I would like to start dev for the Pre, but I don't think its got the base OS to pull off a casual games platform. I read on Gizmodo i think that the Pre's REAL target competition will be the blackberry. - Ryan Scullen

"Got a Pre? Like Nintendo? If you fit in the overlapping intersection of that particular Venn diagram, then have I got some good news for you. Some enterprising individuals over at the Pre Dev Wiki have gotten a NES emulator up and running on the Palm Pre." -- http://www.crunchgear.com/2009... - Ken Sheppardson

You need to have a puppet TWiT! - Ryan Massie

I moved off of this conversation and I have no idea how to get back.... Now I need to keep hitting the comment link at the top every time. This could be a little more intuitive. - Bill Grant

Doom on the Palm Pre - http://www.engadget.com/2009... - Ken Sheppardson

I think we just heard this weeks title "Face Squatting" - Paul Blasman

xbox live + XNA Game Studio 3.1 is the way to go - Michael Mooney

bill hit the time link to the left instead - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

The one that was interesting was default.aspx that I saw - Bill Grant

@Ken and @Greg -- thanks guys! That was not obvious (to me at least) - Bill Grant

there is a tie in Wil, its called FriendFeed - Gabe

This must the best/funniest Facebook name grab: http://pauliukas.com/randomf... - Paulius G

jim and bill... this techy stuff is just unnatural! - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

I got nothing at Facebook. I have no desire to get a Facebook account - Greg

Y'all are assuming people want totally overlapping professional and personal social graphs. That's certainly not the case. - Ken Sheppardson

Or... in six months we will have forgotten about Face Book when the next great thing comes out - Paul Blasman

myspace is the new AOL - Gabe

Jim, I had the same issue when i found my name. It is not clear. - Judith Gerdin

The name grab was insane. It's a fraking _walled_community_!! - Gold

It WAS a walled community - Stephen Pickering

It also has the same stigma as AOL too. - Gold

Oh wow - he just advocated to hand over the entire social web to Facebook - genius :S - Chris Saad

@Ken Cadby Hah!... Well I guess I can program a computer but that doesn't mean I know how to use one... ;-) - Bill Grant

I sorta think the only services really threatened by Facebook are MySpace (direct competitor) and Classmates. - Ken Sheppardson

i'm surprised classmates is still around - Chris Heath

Broadband killed AOL. It was more of a connectivity platform rather than a social platform - Stephen Pickering

Chris - yeah me too - Paul Blasman

Facebook is not using OAuth or OpenID (OpenID is promsied) - Chris Saad

Stephen: _Was_ a walled garden? How is it not now? I still get links where I need to log in to see things. Can't think of a time it's not been this way. - Gold

@bill grant are you a fan of caffeine? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Yes, you are right. I grant you that - Stephen Pickering

Chris: Well, considering we've ranged from the Iran elections to video games to social networking, I think we maybe just have to nod and take this all with a grain of salt. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Ken - the competition is not even close. MySpace is the like AOL, Facebook is like Google. - Ryan Scullen

Gold - I agree that is why I've stayed away from FB. - Paul Blasman

Classmates must make money from organizing reunions. Who would pay to contactsomeone you do not remember. - Judith Gerdin

Ryan: Fine. I'll concede the point. The only people who should fear Facebook is Classmates :-D - Ken Sheppardson

Caffeine. Mmmmmmmm - Randy Willard

And Leo just explained why Facebook will never "take over" - Ken Sheppardson

Paul Blasman: I've stayed away due to the T&C. I have no problem with the walled garden but the T&C are draconian. - Gold

Ken - lol I never liked the idea of classmates from the beginning - too much spam linking - Ryan Scullen

Gold - I didn't even want to go there! - Paul Blasman

Leo - you should be checking out your daughter account - Paul Blasman

3 million usernames have been claimed since Friday night ... in the first 14 hours, that is - Ken Sheppardson

Paul Blasman - Heh. :) I've had one friend from Auckland, NZ appear on those damned "This guys I.Q. is x. What's yours?" ads. He followed it up and they said they purchased it from Facebook. - Gold

http://mashable.com/2009... - Ken Sheppardson

facebook landgrab was soooo over hyped. Just another excuse for bloggers to have something to write about and for people to have another thing added to their business cards - Ross Johnson

Omg that's funny - Paul Blasman

Heard from a colleague: kids are going to twitter with private profiles to keep the older people out. - Bill Grant

@Greg That works if you have a relatively unique name or as long as you post a picture... - Bill Grant

Fastest Growing Demographic on Facebook - Women over 55 (2/2/2009) http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009... - Ken Sheppardson

lotta college kids on facebook. facebook can't die. it can be bought tho. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

66% are 18-34 - Ken Sheppardson

78% are under 34 - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, do the math. - Judith Gerdin

only 8% are older than 45 - Ken Sheppardson

Once it becomes main stream, the geeks and the college kids will come up with something else - Paul Blasman

Which math, Judith? - Ken Sheppardson

...you mean the fact that the F>55 segment is growing fastest because it was almost nonexistent before? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

sigh - Greg

Ken: between 18-34 and under 34 you're at 144% - Gold

Gold: under 34 includes 18-34 - Ken Sheppardson

as you might expect - Ken Sheppardson

Dont forget the total number of accounts vs the total number of active posting accounts is not the same.. just like twitter - Greg

Ken: and I look like a bloody idiot. ;) - Gold

Leo you already have LeoLaporte - rob friedman

erm /LeoLaporte - rob friedman

That's his fan page - Stephen Pickering

ya, well, once a URL is used you can never reclaim it unless it's trademark. so his fan page is him. :) - rob friedman

That'll teach me for only reading half the discussion. I should get back to work. :/ - Gold

All fan pages with a thousand fans or more got automatically assigned a while back - Stephen Pickering

Gold: No, I should've thought that out more before I posted... the way I wrote it was inviting that sort of interpretation... :-/. - Ken Sheppardson

Died in the US, right? - Ken Sheppardson

Still alive and kicking everywhere else? - Ken Sheppardson

ken - yea us only, canada is still kickin analogue till aug. 2011 - Ryan Scullen

Excuse me while I burry my 9-inch black & white in the back yard lol - Paul Blasman

very scandalous - rob friedman

I'm still going to keep my 9" black and white for my Apple ][+ monitor - Ken Sheppardson

I feel bad for the senior citizens but for anyone under the age of 65, if you didn't follow the hundreds of mentions of this conversion to digital, you might not deserve digital tv. - Bill Grant

Did you PAY for that phone? - Ken Sheppardson

lol ken - Chris Heath

Ken - mine is the TV I used for my Timex Sinclair ZX80 - Paul Blasman

Right... because that's the case, right? - Ken Sheppardson

If you have cable, you don't need to change anything. - Ken Sheppardson
