I assume Twitter is down for everyone and not just me? And by 'down', I mean while you can access the site, updates from others aren't coming through to your stream (your own updates DO appear, oddly). Seemed to start misbehaving around 1526GMT. http://twittercism.com/twitter...
Yes, Shea, I have updates from about an hour ago but nothing since except my own. - Dilip Dand
looks like the problem is with updating each user's feeds, twits are being posted as you can see in searchs - Naor Mark
Same here. - helenarriaza
Curiously, Facebook appears to be glitching as well. I'm having to post updates twice before they 'stick'. Look out for aliens - they might be using our social networks against us. - Shéa Bennett
funny, that's the reason I came to read Twitter on FF. lol - enza (aka iVenus)
amm.. it interesting to see how long it took till people noticed since many twit as usual :) - Naor Mark
twitter doesn't work from me for two hours... No new updates :( - esghalis
Replies still work - check your mentions folder. You can also see all updates by visiting profiles directly or by using Twitter search. Or on Friendfeed. :) I've updated my article. http://twittercism.com/twitter... - Shéa Bennett

siamo entrati in un mese per me strano. Mi è sempre piaciuto anche se invecchio, finisce l'estate e si saluta il caldo ed il riposo. boh
è domenica il tuo compleanno, no? se non sbaglio sei nato l'anno prima ma il giorno dopo di me :) - enza (aka iVenus)
il 19. E grazie per la strana sensazione di vecchio che tutto d'un tratto mi sento addosso :) - Felter Roberto
we're only as old as you feel (and look) ... e nelle foto della tua vacanza stai benissimo :) - enza (aka iVenus)
se non stessi benissimo in vacanza sarei MOLTO preoccupato. Il tuo primo commento vuol forse dire che tu compi gli anni OGGI? - Felter Roberto
lol! hai ragione ;) li ho compiuti il 5. - enza (aka iVenus)
mi dispiace, ma i miei auguri te li prendi comunque, anche se in ritardo. :) AUGURI. - Felter Roberto

Twitter is Not Your Average Social Network - http://mashable.com/2009...
"This is odd; with all those hot female avatars grabbing the attention of male twitter users, one would expect a completely different ratio." Well, guess I'm going to have to regain some faith in male tweeps then, that they follow according to content...not judging a book by its cover. Or is there something more? - enza (aka iVenus)

cAsTa Ways: An Interview with Enza Antenos-Conforti - http://www.worldatways.com/2009...
We had discussed the power of Twitter in a previous post and had listed Enza’s e-twinning project with her Twitter colleague, Seth Dickens, as an example of how you could use Twitter educationally. We were eager to hear more about Enza’s Twitter projects from her perspective as a seasoned classroom instructor and active researcher. Enza’s research on her use of Twitter in university-level intermediate Italian classes can be found in the 2009 Calico monograph, The Next Generation: Social Networking and Online Collaboration in Foreign Language Learning and she writes frequently about her teaching and research on her blog, An Academic at Work. - enza (aka iVenus)

Getting ready to head to Jersey then NYC for WordCampEd on Fri., finished 1/2 my presentation-whatdayathink: http://openbydesign.wpmued.org/
I think it is great! I didn't review all the content of the presentation, but I think it is impressive and should definitely engage your audience in a fantastic conversation. Kudos! - enza (aka iVenus)

Day 10 & only the 2nd vocal difference of opinion...why I chose to be a career mom vs a stay-at-home mom like many in the neighborhood
Are they paying your bills? Nope? Then tell them to STFU about what you choose to do. - Anika
@Anika Malone +! - David Damore
I can't believe people are bold enough to ask something like that. I would never question someone on their decision, it's none of my business. - Michelle M
@Anika Malone they don't pay the bills and I see them 3x a year. Sad for me to I let what they say/think bother me - enza (aka iVenus)
@Michelle Martinez it's my parents... everything I do is their business. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes not so good - enza (aka iVenus)
Oh, I didn't know this was your parents. That's tetchy. Generational, maybe. - Anika
Oh, I see. I thought it was some random stranger. - Michelle M
I guess the good thing is there is one day left to their stay...and also that they really enjoyed themselves this visit :) - enza (aka iVenus)

L'ambient Advertising, non trova mai tutti d'accordo, ma deve essere intelligente per funzionare
jeep.jpg
hai ragione...è molto intelligente! :) Ho una Jeep Liberty (che vorrei vendere appena possibile) ma sì, almeno potrei parcheggiare qui, se fosse necessario ;) - enza (aka iVenus)
al bando i suv, ma benvenga l'adv intelligente - killeader
Suv a parte è una forma di comunicazione, poco invasiva - Maurizio Goetz
messaggio allo stesso tempo originale e poco educativo - Roberto
si è vero è poco educativo, efficace per il target a cui si rivolge - Maurizio Goetz
Esisteva già un adv per sensibilizzare alla guida sicura. Parcheggi disegnati attorno agli alberi. Insomma questa di Jeep è una scopiazzata niente male. - Tiziano Caviglia
è vecchia, non è nuova, l'ho ripescata per discutere sull'argomento - Maurizio Goetz

playing with Wolfram and trying to figure out what happens with input provided...okay, kinda cool :)
wolfram.jpg
thinking I like the extended dictionary of definitions, word origins, synonyms, broader terms & semantic maps...except twitter is still just about birds. :-D - enza (aka iVenus)
news article from the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2... about Wolfram. wondering if they will achieve multi-language capabilities if they continue to get the coverage they have been getting over the last few days - enza (aka iVenus)
Chris Charabaruk
I'd participate in the hometown meme but Wolfram Alpha hates suburban Canada. It assumes Pickering, Ontario means....
It assumes I mean travel between Pickering, England, and Ontario, New York. - Chris Charabaruk
WOLFRAM FAIL. - Chris Charabaruk
doesn't seem to like much of anything foreign...countries, languages, etc. - enza (aka iVenus)
Wolfram is a racist bastard? ;) - Chris Charabaruk from IM
maybe just in alpha - enza (aka iVenus)
LOL. - Chris Charabaruk from IM
It wouldn't take my (American) town either. It knew six or seven Augustas around the country, but not Augusta, Missouri. - Jandy
Perhaps Google Squared will know better. - Chris Charabaruk from IM
It doesn't like small town Michigan, either. But I've been accused of being Canuck before, so... *suspiciousponder* - Michael W. May
Michigan? You're practically Canadian, then. - Chris Charabaruk from IM
Hey, I'm part Pickering, Ontario. My great great grandfather was born there. - Tinfoil 2.0
Cool. Know what part of the township he was from? - Chris Charabaruk
Not sure exactly, I only know Pickering from a mention on his marriage record. His family mainly lived in other nearby towns through that period. - Tinfoil 2.0
Well, the township is pretty big, and had a number of incorporated towns in it at one point. Possibly those towns are within the township borders. - Chris Charabaruk

wtf? Teen Pregnancy Barbie (via http://friendfeed.com/e...)

OMG - Oskar NRK
@alessia hai ragione! con quegli occhioni orientali. ma mattel non fa le bratz! - enza (aka iVenus)
Barbie non ha mai preso la pillola, o il culo oppure interrotto. Mattel ha vinto la causa per le Bratz, mi sa che ora sono sue - Mucio
@Diego like a lot of teen mothers in the USA - Mucio
do you think this is at all a commentary on Palin's daughter's pregnancy? caspita! all I remember at age 16 was how to prevent pregnancy - enza (aka iVenus)
@enza You were lucky to know that, in the USA they don't know... before the first child :) - Mucio
I only now see this picture. WOW - Marta
this is a college students project. yes it is art. and it is well thought. and no its not real. I dont get it, whats the big deal. - D. Eda Goze

Should Pregnant Women Get Special Privileges? - http://www.parentdish.com/2009...
Should Pregnant Women Get Special Privileges?
YES - Shevonne from Bookmarklet
Yes - Thomas Hawk
sure, why not? - Nathan Rein
Absolutely - Mark Layton
Does anyone here say "no"? - Rochelle
Of course...not having been one...but with 3 children, I get at least half a vote - Michael
Abso-smurfly not. - Roger Benningfield
I think they should handle this with the current "disability" access system (however they handle the parking permits, etc.) because most private business are total crap at implementing something like this on their own. I don't mind walking a little extra distance at the super market, but I'm not sure why the local one needs both 20 disabled spaces an an extra 10 expectant mother spots. I think those women should get to use the disabled slots as they are rarely all used, and they're closer. - Jennifer Dittrich
Let me rephrase. Of those who say "no", have you been pregnant? - Rochelle
I don't think so. - Roger Benningfield
Jennifer, I'm not sure about other states, but WA state does allow pregnant women to use disabled parking spots, as long as they get a temporary disability parking permit. - Rochelle
yes, especially on public transport or public parking - SteVe C
why should they not get special priviledges eh ? after all , if somethings happens to the women, the law generally tends to smack you for injury's of 2 people.. correct ? - Peter Dawson
No. The extra discomfort is good practice for what's to come. - Mark H
Mark, what do you mean? When I was pregnant, I had my pubic bone separate. It's not an uncommon complication. However, I'm not sure how a broken pubic bone prepared me for having a child. - Rochelle
I think they should get to drive in the carpool lane. :) - Jandy
Candace, this post is about allowing them to park close to a facility, not about "special treatment". Am I missing something? - Rochelle
I skimmed the article and it basically said people should be courteous (duh), and the expectant should not take advantage of it (duh)... so what's the issue? - Tinfoil 2.0
I don't mind the courtesy. The sign that gives priveledges to parents of young children, I do not. It's enough to endure them in the store, in the theater, in a resturant. No breaks for you! - Mike Lewis
As with anything, special privileges should be a case by case basis. Some women are so high risk that they'll miscarry if they sneeze wrong. - Jess
Rochelle, by forcing pregnant women to park far away it helps them both to get extra exercise and to build up more of a tolerance towards the pain and anguish of childbirth. I realise it's not a popular viewpoint so I won't be suggesting it should I ever run for political office. - Mark H
I'm not even as open-minded as Candace. "Pregnant" is no more a disability than "fat ass", a "disability" with which I am intimately familiar. - Roger Benningfield
Jess: In those cases, I'd have no problem giving someone a temp disability sticker or something. - Roger Benningfield
@Mark I can see where you are going, but like Rochelle said, pregnancy can cause major discomforts to a woman that really has nothing to do with exercise. - Shevonne
Mark, that's sweet and all, but uninformed. My experience with childbirth, for example, was pain-free. No anguish involved. And like Shevonne said, exercise has nothing to do with any of it. - Rochelle
Somewhat related: Older generations were smart to tell men to give up seats to women. Today you're expected to give up your seat only if she's pregnant or elderly. That puts you in the position of judging who's pregnant and who's elderly, and you insult her if you get it wrong. Men 50 years ago only had to judge who's female, and we're adequately good at that. - Bruce Lewis
the only special privilege would be to stop the tenure/promotion clock. you cannot be expected to publish or perish while expecting - enza (aka iVenus)
actaully on second thought, that is plain wrong.. .. how does an establishment figure out a painfull child bearing vs a normal child mother mother who has no ill effects ? "Pregnant" does NOT equal "disablity" !~! - Peter Dawson
@Helen There are also the "Parent with small children" parking spots. Do those bother you as well? Just wondering @Bruce I feel sorry for men nowadays. - Shevonne
My wife is pregnant, I'm going to go with no on this one if we're talking a bulk "You're pregnant, you can park here" type of rule. IF you're in your later stages of pregnancy, I'd be ok with the parking pass, but not for the full 9 months. - Brandon Mendelson
@Rochelle - that's one of the things I like about WA; I figure that puts it in the category of any other health-related issue: if it is really difficult, due to a medical condition, to do certain things, then we have an OK system in place to help handle that :) - Jennifer Dittrich
I'm ambivalent. I had to be on "modified bedrest" so on the rare occassion that I could go out and about I think a disabled permit would have been appropriate. I would rather see more family friendly parking spaces (like at IKEA) then spaces specifically designed for pregnant women though. - adf
Matthew: Why does it matter that she's a pregnant chick? What if she's just a 250lb chick? Or a 300lb dude? Or a dude with really bad allergies, who needs to get inside the store as quickly as possible? Or a chick whose "office dress" policy requires her to wear heels, even on a slippery, rain-soaked day? There are lots of people who have issues, and I'm not sure why we would single out one specific group for special attention. - Roger Benningfield
Matthew: Not everyone worships the womb. - Roger Benningfield
Hey, I don't drive, and I don't think I've ever gone through a public door without holding it for a woman, an elderly person, a disabled person, or even a smaller guy. Courtesy is cool. It's the whole "I breed, therefore I am" ethos to which I object. You can be a dick to virtually anyone in this society, no matter what their situation, and most people will just shrug and go on. But if there's a kid involved, people lose their frakkin' minds. - Roger Benningfield
Y'mean the same social contract that also demands that the icky homos stick to the closet, and expects Muslims to just man up and accept that this is a Christian nation? There are plenty of flaws in that unsigned deal, and telling people to shut up and accept it never got us anywhere. - Roger Benningfield
See, there's yer problem... you haven't read the fine print! :) - Roger Benningfield
Roger think you're making yourself sound harsh, but above you commented that in cases where the woman is at a health risk, you would make certain allowances. So it's up to the doctors to decide who those women are. Which makes it easier for men to chose old fashioned chivalry to all pregnant women and/or kindness to a person (pregnant or not) in need. - Jess
I am oh-so-amused at how this went from "be nice to pregnant ladies" to "icky homos stick to the closet". - Rochelle
ABSOLUTELY - Tamar Weinberg
Rochelle: No, it went from "should pregnant women get special privileges" to "that's the social contract, shut up". - Roger Benningfield
Matthew: I didn't add 'em... they've been there all along. - Roger Benningfield
Yes. I think so. In Australia we have 'Parents With Prams' spaces close to the door, often next to the disabled spots. While they are not enforceable by fines like that of disabled spots, they are governed by the public law of "Really mate? You're in a sports car and you couldn't park 8 spots down. You're a fuckwit". This is not so much a 'privilege' so much as a safety issue. Having... more... - Johnny
Jess: I probably am coming off more harshly than intended. Because I'm cool with helping anyone in need. Pregnant, broken leg, heat sensitivity, trying to carry too many packages... you name it. But here's the ugly reality... I can't count the number of times I've seen people bitching about the obese lady who's in the disabled parking spot, or giving the whole "He doesn't look disabled... more... - Roger Benningfield
I want to know why woman complain about popping out one kid, when men have to pump out a million sperm a shot.... I mean come on??? Give me a parking spot!!! :) - Lokei Atikus™®
Wait, they let women drive these days!? What is this world coming to! - Nathan Rein
Absolutely YES! I have also seen spots designated for moms with babies only. - Elena
When I was 28 weeks pregnant, I flew from EWR to FLL on Continental Airlines. I was uncomfortable and wanted to get on the plane early to avoid being bonked by some suitcase. The agent at the gate yelled at me and said I couldn't board early because "pregnancy is not a disability." One of the mothers nearby muttered, "um, yeah it is." I, too, was appalled. I filed a complaint against the agent and corporate told me they put the agent back in training. - Tamar Weinberg
"However, I'm not sure how a broken pubic bone prepared me for having a child." Exactly, Rochelle. I'm in super pain where I walk right now and I'm not sure how this is going to prepare me for motherhood. I'm certain with all the discomfort I'm going through (33 weeks now) that life will be *easier* when the kid is born. I even expect to actually sleep. Yes, I'll *definitely* get more sleep with a kid to breastfeed given the circumstances at the present. I don't think that some people get it. - Tamar Weinberg
I wasn't going to say anything else and just let it go rather than explain to Shevonne and Rochelle but, since Tamar brought up the broken pubic bone again I suppose I should just clarify: I was not being serious when I was suggesting women should walk to get them in shape for childbirth. When it comes to some people not getting it ... well, there, I've said it. Sarcasm, I know, doesn't always come across in written form. I'm very, very sorry. That wasn't sarcasm, by the way. - Mark H
Usually I don't bitch about things, but I have to say this. People, we are on the Internet and many of us don't know one another. How can someone possibly know if someone is serious or not? Can we see your body language or tone of voice? No, so you shouldn't get pissy because we didn't pick up on your sarcasm. - Shevonne
I wasn't being pissy. I was trying to stop others from assuming I'd been serious. But thank you for telling me not to be pissy without being pissy. - Mark H
All women deserve special privelages. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) from fftogo
Most definitely. - JCunwired
I think so yes, it just makes things a little bit easier for those who might be uncomfortable at the late stages and such. I remember my friend being really emotional at about 6/7 months gone and just needing to get things done without hassle. Sometimes it was easier for everyone else too ;) - Charley M
Just in case anyone misunderstood me, I'm with Mark. I KNOW women are allowed to drive and I don't have a problem with it. That was also sarcasm. Though no one seems to have been either amused or offended. Nevermind. - Nathan Rein
Sorry Mark -- I made a general statement not really directed at any particular individual. In fact, I moused over your name and figured you were being sarcastic after reading your bio, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem that Roger was. I'm fairly certain that if I was a non-pregnant "fat-ass," I still wouldn't be as uncomfortable as I am right now. - Tamar Weinberg

just blogged about a miserable conference on the weekend (not mentioning the association name or participants) and just moments later, one of the session organizers follows me on Twitter. Hopefully, she won't read my post? What do you think the chances of that are? :(
Was the experience bad because the conference was poorly run? She needs to hear that if they plan on doing more conferences. - Anika
@Anika, it's more a political thing...the conference organizer has way too much clout and the power to make life difficult for people in the field. Think I'll just need to boycott this conference :( - enza (aka iVenus)
Ah, I see...that is touchy. Boycotting the conference is a good idea unless you need the networking opportunity. - Anika

Twitter Launches Enhanced New Follower E-mails - louisgray.com - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
Twitter Launches Enhanced New Follower E-mails - louisgray.com - http://bit.ly/w226y
"It would appear that Twitter has launched a brand new format for their new follower E-mails that they send out to users opting to be notified of new followers.  The e-mails are now in a pretty HTML format, include the new follower's name, Twitter username, and picture.  They also include the number of updates, number of people they follow, and number of followers they have.  While users aren't given the option to follow straight from the e-mail, you can block the user by clicking on a link in the e-mail." - from Louis Gray: http://friendfeed.com/louisgr... - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet
The post is by Jesse Stay: http://www.friendfeed.com/jessest... - Louis Gray
Thanks, Louis. I should have mentioned that. The new emails look goo, received a few today. - Kol Tregaskes
I'm like a kid at Christmas! LOL - Sharon McPherson
Great improvement - interesting that the follow back link isn't their. Almost forces you to check out the users stream first - Keith Don
Topify still tops that. Way more useful imho. - Vlad Bobleanta
thinking I would like to see a bio line too - enza (aka iVenus)
@enza+1 Bios shouldn't be hard and website url - Jorge Escobar
I second Vlad. Topify is still at least 5X better. - dgw
If somebody un-follows you, then? - TrafficBug
@Jorge Escobar you're right, it should be quite simple :) - enza (aka iVenus)
how about recent tweets? tweet spammer can fake followers and following - Toni @ NavinoT
@neofreko That's why Topify is still better. - dgw from IM
just got a twitter DM...must say I really like how that looks. much prettier than just text ;) - enza (aka iVenus)
I wonder why did they stop at pix, follow/following update count and not give it all information available. What are the reasons, you think? - Birgit Pauli-Haack
I think the emails should include the bio information too - Wayne Sutton
That saves me at least 1 step when "Angie XXX or PhyllisneedsU" begins to follow me and when I click to her profile, Policetweet tells me she has disappeared. What a surprise! - Bob Young
Brian Solis
At Next09 I challenged Twitter users to stop answering “What you are doing” b/c the answers are mostly meaningless. What should we answer?
"Who is" or "How are you" making a difference today? - Russell Cook
What is important to share right now? - Louis Gray
What might other people be interested in? - JCunwired
What do you want Google to know right now? Heheh. Or, what do your friends need to know? - Robert Scoble
"How many social media experts does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" - Daniel J. Pritchett
@DanielPritchett - LMAO - John Fox
What are you thinking? - Abhimanyu Chirimar
i would make Twitter spit out a random Zen koan on page load. - Karim
I don't see the issue with the current question. For certain users, it's still applicable. They should perhaps consider adding a second question though, with answers to each aggregated into separate streams. That way, you know what you're getting. - TheLovableRogue
"What are you thinking?" is being push by @jayrosen from NYU. He has dubbed it "mindcasting". - Meryn Stol
Over on friendfeed the question is "what would you like to talk about?" - Robert Scoble
"<-- put shit in here" or better yet, remove the text and don't replace it with anything! - alphaxion
I talk about pills or solutions to people's challenges. Fill a need. Ask "How can I help?" - Shane Gibson
Thinking about it though, is the question even that relevant? People will continue to write about whatever they want regardless of how the question is phrased. - TheLovableRogue
"what can you share that is valuable to your community right now?" - Jason Peck
Where do you want to go today? ;) - Meryn Stol
what can you post that's meaningful? - Miguel Rodriguez
What have you learned? - Lou Clark
Wuz Up? - Sharon McPherson
For your consideration: - Denise Aday
I like Robert's response. Rather than simply talking about "I'm brushing my teeth", it should be about "what would you like to talk about?". It's all about conversation. - Kenneth
Why is it all about conversation? My mom likes my status updates. - Daniel J. Pritchett from IM
What are you thinking? seems to be the obvious one. - Steve Lynch from twhirl
The keyword is share. It needs be something like 'What would you like to share?' Ideally, though, I think Twitter should randomize 5-10 different questions (share/say/discuss/something about photos, etc), or run them sequentially each time the user logs in, so they get the full idea of what you can do on the service. And one of them should still be 'What are you doing?', as not every tweet can be a Pulitzer prize-winner. - Shéa Bennett
twitter is different things for different users..I dont think we need guidelines for it. - Samuel Lewis from twhirl
Daniel - I personally think it should be about conversation because I think that it would be great to have more dialog rather than one-sided conversation. Your mom may like that your status updates but that's for Facebook, not for Twitter. - Kenneth
For proper conversation we need one-click access to threaded tweets. I blogged about this essential feature, and some others I'd like to see, earlier today. http://twittercism.com/five-fe... - Shéa Bennett
what's wrong w. someone using Twitter to say what they are doing? I mean I see where you are coming from that if everyone always did this type of tweet it would get old really reaaally quick-LOL. but don't you think the democracy, if you will, of being able to say whatever u want-in 140 char. is what makes Twitter so beautiful? - Benin Brown from fftogo
Yes, there's always a place for the inane, and of course the definition of what that means is a very relative observation. Believe me, lots of folk think tech is inane. *Lots*. :) - Shéa Bennett
"What's on your mind?". It fits if you are posting a link or trying to have a conversation. *edit* of course, since I haven't used facebook on anything other than my blackberry in a long time, I completely forgot that was what they asked. oops :) - Matt Thompson from fftogo
'What have you done for others' might be cool? - Nicholas Chase
Cracked up on Shéamus saying inane is very relative... you know my family??? - Jim Espinoza
What about not asking a question, but instead put an instruction - 'Post Your Update Here'? I've had dozens of folks new to Twitter tell me that the reason it took them so long to send their first tweet, was because they weren't clear on how to do it. - Sharon McPherson
"Post Something" - Jack&Cleo
I think the question, although it may be an initial prompt for tweeps, becomes quickly ignored for other tweets. The earliest study on Twitter (a Master's thesis at the London School of Economics and Political Science in late 2007) indicated that less than half the tweets were actually answering that over-arching question. Here is the link to the thesis, if you are interested. http://www.lse.ac.uk/collect... - enza (aka iVenus)

"Why am I still using Twitter?" - Josh Haley
Some amazing stuff here! Thanks for your thoughts everyone! - Brian Solis
Let's answer questions that force us to think about the updates we wish to galvanize action, response, connections, learning, et al, such as "what inspires you," "what did you learn today," “who should we pay attention to and why,” "what are we better off for knowing now because we follow you," etc. We need to stop tweeting "at" followers and start listening to the things that help us... more... - Brian Solis
Brian, I think that you have some great Ideas there about the Social Web, but getting folks to realize it's a privilege is going to be a tough one to get across. They don't even grasp that concept with Drivers License in California, and you have many, many police folk and a much over used court system reinforcing that idea on a regular basis. - Brent - Yes I am
What matters to you right now? - Angela

Il corpo delle donne - Documentario - http://www.ilcorpodelledonne.it/documen...
ciocci, giusto perché magari ti interessa, qui c'è una intervista a Lorella http://www.apogeonline.com/webzine... - Webgol
grazie, vado ad ascoltarla :) - Ciocci from fftogo
continuo a non capire come tantissime donne non si ribellano a tutto ciò, davvero. - Ciocci
"Hanno rotto, con questi discorsi sul corpo della donna" http://www.lastampa.it/_web... - Luca Sofri
non è il problema del corpo delle donne, ma di come sia l'unica cosa che gli viene concessa di poter usare. - Ciocci
grazie d'aver condiviso questo...era uno dei tanti argomenti su cui ci siamo soffermati nel nostro corso della donna in Italia (siccome in America non è tanto diverso). - enza (aka iVenus)
penso che sia così un po' in tutto "l'occidente". Per caso è possibile reperire materiali del corso su internet? - Ciocci
i punti che mi colpiscono di più sono la negazione della vecchiaia e dell'espressione e il fatto che oggi donne che mettono in gioco - e a poco prezzo - il loro corpo in questo modo vengano ritenute libere e realizzate. Libera è Paris Hilton senza slip, vincente è la Gregoraci che finge imbarazzo su quel cazzo di surf ma intanto ti fa l'occhio languido, Cristina del gf addirittura tira... more... - frine
il dover essere bambole uguali nel tempo, giochi per uomini e pensare di essere 'libere', di aver scelto. - Ciocci
ma veramente i nostri media, dico nostri in italia, sono famosissimi in europa per essere tra i più sessisti. ve ne accorgete solo ora? - Sara T.
no, penso però che parlarne non faccia male, e penso che negli altri paesi, le cose non siano poi tanto tanto migliori. - Ciocci
certo parlarne è un grande contributo per tenere vigile l'attenzione, ma l'italia purtroppo non ha eguali in questo (triste) senso in europa. - Sara T.

When do I know it's time for new running shoes? How long til I have to get new ones? Thanks!
Your shoes get about 75 - 100 miles. Most runners I know replace every 4 months. It depends on how often you run. I have a pair here that are about a year old because according to my logs, I've only run about 65 miles in them and walked about 30. I'll be getting a new pair soon. - Anika
Thanks Anika. Can you feel it though when they are run down? I have these sneakers I've had for almost a year, but they seem ok. - Shevonne
I've found that you become accustomed to them feeling "ok" until you get a new pair and realize when you wear them the first few times that the previous ones were worn out. - enza (aka iVenus)
Thanks eac! Anika and you have convinced me to get new running shoes. =D - Shevonne
Check your treads especially if you're an overpronater like I am. EAC is right, sometimes it takes getting new shoes to make you realized how worn down your old ones are. - Anika
Though I'm a walker, not a runner, I believe in every 6 months (I'm walking 25km a week) - Rosie Peters
I've heard to get a few pairs and sort of rotate them, but not so they all wear down evenly... more like, you want to have a mix of new-to-old in your rotation so that you aren't grossly thrown off like you would be if you just switched from a single old pair to a single brand new paid. - Andrew C (✓)
Thanks Anika for the information and Shevonne for asking. My running shoes probably have about 300 miles between treadmill and work. - Janet-The Bottley Crue
Anika, that doesn't seem to add up to me. I wouldn't consider someone a "runner" who goes less than a mile on foot every day.... I replace shoes when the heel starts to separate or develops a hole too large to ignore, basically. - Karl Knechtel
Yeah. To be fair, I really don't do much running. But I do a hell of a lot of walking. :) And I like to wear thick socks. :) - Karl Knechtel
also depends on the surface you run on etc. Good rule is about 300-500 miles for a decent pair of running shoes. Use them ( only to run in until they are older - than use them for general use. ( then use them to paint or garden in and then recycle them :) - Tracy Benham

I need to catch up, because I don't know what he did now. I didn't bother to read his embargo-breaking story. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo
here, here. - Thomas Hawk
better yet, go to his post on FF today and post your thoughts on why you like it more than twitter. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Thomas Hawk
If it's not on friendfeed, I'm not interested, Thomas. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

You mean yesterday's news Arrington ??? Or today's embargo Arrington? - David HC Soul
I just read Arrington's post and commented via FriendFeed (not to make any philosophical point, but because I'm on an older mobile phone right now using fftogo). While I had some quibbles, the fact remains that there are far fewer FriendFeed users than there are Facebook users. Then again, there are far fewer Twitter users than Facebook users, so simplicity isn't everything... - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo
The word I heard him use was "nobody", not "fewer", "nobody"...Perhaps I'm wrong though...either way, I don't care. I find friendfeed to be eminently more entertaining and useful than Twitter or Facebook. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
That's what schema-less SQL said. - Mitch
If Twitter closed tomorrow, my life would be the same, If FriendFeed closed I'd lose all of you... - Jamie Ginsberg
huzzah! - Nathan Chase
And far fewer Mahalo users than any of them *rimshot* - Michael W. May

I'm going with Scoble, and betting on this horse. This new UI is just a thing of beauty. This is how it should be. They're the ones who've found the Grail Castle. This is it right here. I'm just loving it. - Web Nex
Here. But off to bed soon. Back later. G'nite, FF. - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™
Love the new beta. Really nice job to Team FF! - Marc Chung
Who is this Arrington fellow? - Quasar
Wow, a whole ~120 people ... over 5 hours. I used to play on MUDs 10+ years ago with more simultaneous users. FF is 98% Scoble-hype noise, 2% RSS crawling. - Dossy Shiobara
@Dossy- your naivete is showing! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
@bec rowe - fine, I'll be generous, suppose there's a whole ORDER OF MAGNITUDE more users, 10x or 1,200 ... this is a big deal? Most major IRC networks each have 60k+ concurrent users and that's tech that's 15+ years old now. - Dossy Shiobara
??? - vijay
for such a "new and improved" UI, why do I have to scroll ALL the way back up to click the "comment" link? what, did none of the UX people think "gee, putting it at the bottom of the list of comments would be a good idea"? - Dossy Shiobara
seriously, people, stop being sheep. FF is cute but it's a pet rock. - Dossy Shiobara
uh, no Dossy. - Josh Haley
Dossy - I'm not sure if that was a joke or sarcastic comment or not, but just in case it wasn't...I strongly disagree. - Justin Korn
Well to be fair, I know my real life friends would never understand FF -- especially the filters. It's too much effort to set up. - Mona Nomura
Mona - I agree with that statement, but still disagree with Dossy. - Justin Korn
@Mona Ditto. But I don't come here for RL friends. I come here to connect with people like me. - Bec Rowe @d0tski
Arrington is a stupid. - Wo
Exactly -- I come here to escape from Facebook and when I want more conversation than Twitter :) Sheep we are not. ;) - Mona Nomura
I have 3 tabs locked into the first three positions of my always-open Firefox window: Google Reader, Gmail and you guessed it... FriendFeed. - Brooks Bishop
I am using FF because it's awesome. - Aaron Hood from BuddyFeed
Obviously using FF Beta right now - Arnold Zafra

I'm loving the new version. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Beta? Yes. Standard? Never used it. Barely got the hang of Twitter! - caj needs a haircut
Bring - It - Onnnnnnnnn! - Vicky
is arrogant arrington squirming yet??? - Rob Sellen :o)
yo yo - Kelly W.
Here is to both platforms. Twitter for ease of use and Friendfeed for search and aggregation - Karen L Thompson from BuddyFeed
I'm on it! - Tracy Mendham
Nope, I'm not using friendfeed. Sorry to disappoint. - awd
(like Horshack) "ooooh ooooh ooooh" - Bryan R. Adams
Absolutley! Great aggregator, but have to use Twirl or other app at work - Jonathan Decker from twhirl
Who the hell is Michael Arrington, and why should I give two tugs of a dead dog's cock what he thinks? - Steven Perez
damn you steven perez... speak ya mind for a change!!! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
Perez: Some meatbag with an overblown sense of self importance - Mo Kargas
Arrington is a Web 1.0 dinosaur trying to make himself relevant still by being Jerry Springer without the entertainment value. - Bob M. Montgomery from twhirl
love it - Brian Frank
Just to note: I know damn well who Arrington is. He's that meatsack whose website couldn't hold its load for a few hours. But I'm serious about not caring what he thinks. - Steven Perez
that's r scoble too mo... ooops I'll get bashed! :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
what's FF nation? where you hear about that? arringtons blog by any chance? - Rob Sellen :o)
Often quiet, but still here & loving FF. - ilene from twhirl

that techcrunch guy is pure noise - ignore at all cost :-p - mike "glemak" dunn
O Hai! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
I use FriendFeed all the time. Rarely if ever read TechCrunch anymore. - Andy Roth
What's TechCrunch? - Great Scott! Needs a Ham
Jelly beans! - Bwana ☠
Nobody here but us chickens. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
huh!? What?! - Just Katie

bumpity bump.... - Rob Sellen :o)
um....... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
Huh? What?!? - Just Katie
I never use friendfeed and I'm never ever on it. I can't believe you'd accuse me of such a thing! - Vicarbott
hey - stanjourdan
Something tells me he's not impressed yet. - Shey
something tells me THIS proves how little he uses this place ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
That's OK, I get the sense that most people here couldn't care less. :) We use friendfeed because we like it, not because some A-Lister that doesn't even participate here thinks we should or shouldn't. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
*comment deleted to keep up appearances that I'm a nice guy* - Michael W. May
I agree.... :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
Loves me some FriendFeed - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Shouldn't this be on a TC post since all those comments will be sucked into the blog itself? - coldbrew
agreed alex, if you watch your brother's video of the pre-beta walk through from last weekend, mike was there, engaged and asked good questions of bret and paul, but then he goes off and belittles ff & those using it - immature or trollish not sure which it is... - mike "glemak" dunn
But Alex.. your bro is a supposed A-lister... - Rob Sellen :o)
dunn: Arrington is providing feedback. I'm sure team-FF can handle it. - coldbrew
yeah the feedback he provides is..."the worse way to use friendfeed" :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
My brother also participates here a lot, so when he says something is great or sucks here he has some authority...certainly a lot more authority on the subject than you know who. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
drive by - I'm in - Rick Bucich
You'll notice TC's FF integration is one-way (i.e. FF>TC), not synch. - coldbrew
FF is the FFuture - Alan Cheslow
Who's Michael Arrington? ;-) - Kenton
I'm soaking in it. - Mark Dorgan
FriendFeed is the best social service; just too much for many people to handle...yet! - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
I do like FF - but it can be a lot to handle. - Bill Sodeman
yeah..... - Rob Sellen :o)
It doesn't get much better. Still here after a year. - David Cook from fftogo
yeah...great eh :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
i am and its soo much better. Tell mike the tech rumors are better here, too. - Roberto Bonini
my head hurts. || button is my friend - Todd Randolph
Right on Alex! To enhance what I said yesterday, FriendFeed is the "coolest app" to consume information on the Internet and interact with smart people. - Eric Berlin
I use FF! - Damond Nollan

So much better than twitter! - Bo Stern
Nah, I never use FriendFeed. FriendFeed uses me! Don't ask. - Brad Butner from twhirl

I luuurve friendfeed! - Rob Sellen :o)
Aloha! Been here for over a year now. - Bill Sodeman
linky to another similar thread ... http://friendfeed.com/e... - Peter Dawson
My thread was first and my brother was just being a copycat. First! - Scoble, Alex Scoble
yep, that Scoble is a copycat !! :)- - Peter Dawson
I think the only way to settle this is with a good old fashioned slap fight. Or a drinking contest... Either way we need video of it. - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
But I said "First!" That's the internet beat down right there. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
more comments than likes? how can that be... you commenter's who have yet to like...like.. and those who have yet comment...comment..and like ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
I'm down with FreindFeed. My usage has skyrocketed since the beta launch. - Tim
