"Today we are launching version 2 of the FriendFeed API for beta testing. We focused on making the API simpler to use, and we added number of compelling new features." Documentation: http://friendfeed.com/api... - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

OAuth? Sweet. Thanks a lot for all the new good stuff in the API: can't wait to use it. - Mark Trapp

very nice. great work! - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

Yet another reason to like Bret. :-) - Jesse Stay

Great!!! - YungSang from FriendFoo

nice! - Daniel Rust

good job guys, I bet devs are jumping high right now - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Sweet, congrats! - Ivan Zuzak

nice, good to see OAuth support, this will enable a larger 3rd party ecosphere around FriendFeed, I hope - Jeroen De Miranda

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages? - Mark Trapp

Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed. - Benjamin Golub

Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks! - Mark Trapp

Can you post the wget version of the command line? - Gabe

Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget. - Mark Trapp

Thanks God it is New API. - AlpB. from iPod

Nice progress here with this release! - Micah

I love it! - friday night

Why is wget questionable? - Gabe

Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle. - Mark Trapp

Good work, look forward to seeing what developers can create - Joe Dawson

doublepluslike - Vezquex

curl FTW. - Jeremy Kunz

This is great, FriendFeed team. Good job. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Woowoo, bgolub's password is “passwd” ;-) - Amit Patel

Amit: I wonder how many people tested that :) - Benjamin Golub

Thanks to bgolub posting his password, I now have all of FriendFeed's secret documents about notorious users, useless metrics, Justin Timberlake's promoting FF on Oprah's show, hiring Colbert as a spokesperson, Ev Williams being just a “distraction”. TechCrunch is going to love this! ;) - Amit Patel

Yes big big thanks to the whole team for all their hard work!! - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from iPhone

thank you;) waiting for the release :) loving clone - abdellah from FriendFeed API Example

Yay subscribers exposed! - EricaJoy

Finally OAuth, I had a hard time memorizing my remote key. - Hugh Isaacs II

This is indeed very cool, anybody started on a c# version? - Jesper Lind

Looks like a place where a geek could propose someone... - Jemm

reminds me of a scene from Matrix 2... - Glenn Batuyong

You can click on the image and use it as your wallpaper too (just in case you don't know) - AJ Batac

Is Obi-Wan there, trying to shut down the tractor beam? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

'Kill the Gibson!' Heh - Ian Dexter Marquez

Nice Ian. You know; long, long ago, my Internet handle was Crash Override, in honor of that movie. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

No 2001 jokes? C'mon, people. - Andrew C (✓)

Like the Matrix scene :) - Alihan ÇETİN

Very pretty. - Jason Nunnelley

So where did the picture come from? - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I feel a new sketch book drawing coming on ^^^ :D - Micah

Kamilah, somewhere here http://www.socwall.com/. My current wallpaper. - AJ Batac

Am I *that* transparent? :P :) That is a really cool image. I'll give it away... Micah guessed right. I had to use a new technique (new to the sketchbooks, anyway) to capture this image... - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

How about a CC (or other copyleft) license so we can use and cite this in presentations? - Chris Lasher

I guess we now know where some of the Matrix style came from in real life, eh? @Curtiss: That old handle of yours sounds so cyberpunk that I'll probably have to use it as the title of a cyberpunk novel... ;) - Dennis Jernberg

I want one:) - Michael Fidler

for me at first glace it looked like the MCP from maybe Tron 2 - Shawn McCollum

It looks like the birthplace of Skynet. - TrafficBug

@Dennis - In case you weren't aware, the handle Crash Override is from the movie Hackers with Jonny Lee Miller, Matthew Lillard and Angelina Jolie (with Fisher Stevens as the evil corporate hacker and Penn Jillette in a small role as his assistant). Although much of it was ridiculous from a technology perspective, it was still a really fun movie with a fantastic soundtrack (the soundtrack itself actually has two sequels). - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

@Curtiss Grymala - Hackers! great movie! the "Rainbow Books" HA! - shayne catrett

won't the pubhubbubsubdubtublubzub guys be all like "Hey, screw RSSCloud, put our shit in instead!"? - Mark

I don't think so. I think we all want realtime realtime. That would deprive us of realtime-ness and would be illogical and counter-productive and non-sensical. Could never happen. - Dave Winer

Doesn't reader support Hubbub already anyway? - Jalada

I hope they support both - regardless, it would be a huge win for real-time. - Jesse Stay

"It's been two years since Peter Berg confirmed he was attached to direct the third adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel Dune. Of course, the first adaptation was auteur David Lynch's avant-garde, torpid 1984 film, the second being Sci Fi Channel'sminiseries in 2000. But little has been said about this third attempt to corral the story of Paul Atreides and his family amidst a futuristic feudal interstellar empire as they take control of the lone source of spice melange, the most valuable resource in the universe. It's no wonder Dune has proved a worthy foe when condensed into film form." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Sure, the Dune universe is a rich, expansive environment, but what makes Dune, Dune is the interplay of the socio-economic, political struggles effecting the characters and the familial, localized emotional struggle of the main characters. Distilling the story into a base action/adventure story? It won't be a Dune that the purists will flock to, but it may, in reality, make a lot better... more... - Derrick

I've never seen Dune in any form, nor read the books. *ducks* - Derrick

It might be heresy, but I wouldn't read past the second book (but I read them as a child, so that may not be fair) - RAPatton from iPhone

I'm not much of a sci-fi fan to sit and read it, but if I was to watch it, should I start with the Lynch one? Or the mini-series? Robert, will that make sense to me after I watch the movie(s)? - Derrick

At first glance the guy in front seemed like Will Ferrell :o Anyway, I'm willing to give this movie a chance :) - Jemm from fftogo

The David Lynch movie is definitely worth seeing. I haven't seen the miniseries. - Jason Wehmhoener

Derrick, the Lynch version is much better (imo) in terms of a film, but the miniseries is much more faithful to the story. So it really depends. My advice would be to read the book (really, it's that good. It transcends genre) and then watch them both. - joey

Yes, Derrick, the song will make sense after the movie/book - RAPatton from iPhone

But are they on Blu-ray? #hdsnob - Derrick

I recommend everyone to read the first book. It's not that heavy on sci-fi and it tells a very elaborated, compelling and rich story. I saw the movie and the mini-series beforehand and both pale in comparison to the greatness of the novel. I can tell you to skip reading LOTR and watch the movies if you don't have time because both offer compelling experiences but in Dune's case the screen versions are bad enough that I thought Dune sucked until I read the book. Now it's one of my favorite books of ever. - David Rodriguez

Dune is about empire, expansionism, marketplace monopoly, religion, duty and honour vs what is right and wrong, and revolution. The power struggles those entail. It happens to take place in a sci-fi-ish setting. - Michael W. May

This was an editorial review from Amazon: "Dune is to science fiction what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy.

"At the time, psychologists assumed that children’s ability to wait depended on how badly they wanted the marshmallow. But it soon became obvious that every child craved the extra treat. What, then, determined self-control? Mischel’s conclusion, based on hundreds of hours of observation, was that the crucial skill was the “strategic allocation of attention.” Instead of getting obsessed with the marshmallow—the “hot stimulus”—the patient children distracted themselves by covering their eyes, pretending to play hide-and-seek underneath the desk, or singing songs from “Sesame Street.” Their desire wasn’t defeated—it was merely forgotten. “If you’re thinking about the marshmallow and how delicious it is, then you’re going to eat it,” Mischel says. “The key is to avoid thinking about it in the first place.” In adults, this skill is often referred to as metacognition, or thinking about thinking, and it’s what allows people to outsmart their shortcomings.

This is an interesting quote because it implies that "will power" is more about mental strategy, not some kind of mental strength for forcing yourself to do something. I have the same strategy with food -- I eat whatever I see, so in order to not eat something I just need to put it out of sight. - Paul Buchheit

effectively "out of sight, out of mind" - alphaxion

This is where the magic of science is: you spend time and resources to prove a proverb. - .i.m.a.r.s.o.r.a.m.a.

"The child who could wait fifteen minutes had an S.A.T. score that was, on average, two hundred and ten points higher than that of the kid who could wait only thirty seconds." - J.D. Deutschendorf

Sometimes I worry my metacognition is slowing me down because I'm spending less time just cogniting. (that oughtta be a word.) But no, in all seriousness, I think something, then realize the thought was there before I subvocalized it, and then I go in a circle several times subvocalizing those same thoughts as I examine the process of thinking. Frustrating! - Andrew C (✓)

Some friends and I refer to this study often, pointing out when we've failed the marshmallow test. Staying up late is my most common mashmallow test failure (sacrificing morning time to enjoy a few more bleary hours NOW), but it's easy to spot this sort of behavior and fun to have a standard vocabulary to highlight its ubiquity. - Seth

Episode on Mischel's marshmallows on RadioLab -- http://blogs.wnyc.org/radiola... - Alex Haar

As a parent, I consciously used this strategy to distract my children whenever they got in mischief, behaved badly or acted out. As a grandparent, I often send a box of tricks, things like super balls, an "uno" deck, paints, a book, a yoyo or top, for my daughter to use with my grandchildren when they are driving her crazy and need to think about something other than running around screaming. - Phil Boiarski

OK, that makes sense, but let's flip this on its head - How do you instead keep your mind on something and prevent yourself from getting distracted? You can't distract yourself from your distractions. Andrew C, the word you're looking for is cogitating. - Mr. Gunn

Mr Gunn, thanks. Though I think 'cogniting' is a touch funnier. - Andrew C (✓)

Some chimpanzees use this strategy as well, though not all of them. - Björn Brembs

i think bhudda had some theory on this too...:/ - Paul Moss

Today my 4yo daughter was having trouble waiting for a treat, so I told her (and my wife) about reading this article last night. I talked about the ability to distract - and I thought I was doing a pretty good job of explaining it in 4yo terms. When I was done with my paraphrase/lesson, I asked her if she understood. "Uh-huh," she said. Then after a few moments, she asked if we could stop and get some marshmallows on the way home. All I could do is laugh! - Gary Walter (gwalter)

I read a different writeup of this experiment a couple years ago, when our daughter was about 1 year old. Its something that can be taught, and encouraged. She's now very good at distracting herself from something which she knows she shouldn't do or would get into trouble over. She's not easily distracted in general: she can focus quite well on something she wants to do (and is allowed to do). - DGentry

No, any of them that are served under http 1.1. The notifications are sent to the IP address, not the hostname, so they will never reach a http 1.1 host. - Nick Lothian

Wow... interesting discovery. I hadn't thought about this issue, but IP addresses definitely break virtual-hosted environments. - Matt M (inactive)

Yeah. I was going to implement a rssCloud->PSHB proxy, but that killed it for me. Someone should also point out that rssCloud will really be in trouble in ~700 days when we exhaust all IPv4 addresses (http://ipv6.he.net/ - I'm assuming it won't work with IPv6 yet). - Nick Lothian

IPv6 is *probably* safe in rssCloud. REMOTE_ADDR would return an IPv6 address, which would be used to construct the callback URL. Worst case, a handful of hubs would have to ensure they properly quote the remote address. - Matt M (inactive)

Woha! Someone can explain to me why people at WP opted for this instead of PSHB? Seriously? - directeur

Yeah, but I wonder how many people have coded it with a database with only enough space for an IPv4 address - Nick Lothian

What was the rationale behind only using the IP address? That seems incredibly foolish: problems like these are why DNS exists. - Mark Trapp

using the IP address sort of avoids a lot of issues with having to verify someone really wanted to subscribe to a notification - Nick Lothian

+1 Mark. Nick, verifying that someone wanted to subscribe doesn't have to be that complicated. Challenge them. - directeur

Oh, I'm not saying it's a _good_ way of verifying! Just that is why I suspect it was done like that. It's going to be hard to change it in a backwards compatible way. Adding a "host" parameter that must resolve to the same IP as the request comes from could get around the virtual hosting problem, but it won't solve a lot of other issues. Beyond that, it is going to need to add in some kind of challenge/response handling on the subscription. - Nick Lothian

RSSCloud has a lot of flaws because it was created in 2001, used by one software company and then dropped a couple years later. If it is adopted as-is, there will be a lot of problems like this. But there's no reason not to learn from the last eight years. Dave Winer has already made changes for people using REST. He could change the IP requirement as well. - Rogers Cadenhead

excellent show - enjoyed the pace and the questions - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Bravos! Wonderful show. Thank you. - Dave Martin

I agree Susan. I hope that Steve has more geeks on and fewer arguers in the future. - Robert Scoble

Does anyone have audio/video of the newsgang live from earlier this week? - Michael Breslin

Michael: There's a repository of bootlegs at http://www.archive.org/downloa... - Ken Sheppardson

Another link for a bootleg of today's show: http://friendfeed.com/jackx1... - Mike Doeff

Yeah I know about that, unless I'm mistaken it doesn't have the newsgang live from tue 09/08 - Michael Breslin

I've only been recording episodes of the Gillmor Gang so unless someone else has recorded NewGang you will have to wait until Steve puts it on YouTube - Jack

Mike: That link is to the same file as in the bootleg feed - Jack

Ken: All those files are linked to in a shiny feedburner interface here: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/bootleg... Plus its a handy RSS feed - Jack

The GDGT live coverage of the Apple rollout is proof that Twitter is not what's needed for the news system of the future. You need pictures, and instant updating, and it has to stay up under a heavy load. http://live.gdgt.com/2009...

Heh. One thing GDGT doesn't do is what we're doing right now -- it needs a place for users to kibitz. - Dave Winer

embedded pictures are available through client handling of included links. there is a twitter stream api http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streami... though it is still in early stages - Mike Chelen

True - between the various live sites and FF it's clear that real time is the only way. Can't wait to see the fruits of RSSCloud and PubSubHubbub. - Rich

Rich: one solution is XMPP which uses XML, the language underlying RSS. there are more news options that work well in various situations - Mike Chelen

Good work by the way on making the internet work! Seems you've had a hand in a fair few of the key technologies making things work… - Rich

Yeah, XMPP seems promising as well - though it doesn't seem easy to use as a developer - never really worked out how to set up a server etc. - Rich

Rich, check out AppEngine's XMPP support: http://code.google.com/appengi... I used it to write a PubSubHubbub to XMPP transport in less than an hour last night. - Matt M (inactive)

Ooh - that looks interesting... - Rich

I don't know Java, but perhaps the same API is exposed using Python... - Rich

http://code.google.com/appengi... - Rich

Ah - Rich

Predicable URLs are the best thing! - Rich

Yeah, AppEngine is good with Java/Python parity. If I were integrating XMPP into an application, I'd choose AppEngine to host the XMPP part of things. It's very stable and takes a huge management load off your shoulders. - Matt M (inactive)

I'll have a look at that - XMPP is on my list of things that I don't know enough about... - Rich

Rich: there are existing XMPP / Jabber servers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and libraries available to use, some of the newer alternatives include pubsubhubbub http://code.google.com/p... and simple update protocol (SUP) http://code.google.com/p... and google wave - Mike Chelen

Okay, I admit I'm utterly and totally confused. Why *both* rssCloud and Pubsub Hubbub? Is it a competition thing? Claim to ownership?

Why is Wordpress choosing rssCloud and not PSHB? - Jesse Stay

Don't get me wrong - I completely support open protocols. I want to see both succeed, but why not work together to succeed? - Jesse Stay

I don't think I speak just for myself on this - I'm confused. - Jesse Stay

Reminds me of the time you wanted to know if Twitter would support OMB protocol. or not. :-) - Brian Hendrickson

Brian, that's a little different though. I wasn't thinking RSS at the time - OMB doesn't work with RSS that I'm aware of. It's a valid competitor. - Jesse Stay

But rssCloud and PSHB are hardly competitors with RSS. They both lie on top of it. I don't get the need to have 2. - Jesse Stay

And why we're dividing the community. I've claimed it's a Google thing, but honestly, I don't know. Is this to go against Google? Is it an ownership thing? Let me know why I should get behind you. I'm not sure I know which one to support any more. I'm going to move to a more unbiased standpoint I think now. I was wrong to push one over the other yesterday in any way. - Jesse Stay

Here's my summary of OMB vs rssCloud vs PubsubHubbub: OMB is fastest, PubsubHubbub scales the best and rssCloud is the most loosely coupled, in a good way. - Brian Hendrickson

Maybe there isn't competition and I'm just perceiving it as such. - Jesse Stay

I want to support them all, personally. :-) - Jesse Stay

I think you'd have to go back and study the history of RSS vs Atom to see how we got where we are today. - Ken Sheppardson

Do any of these three make a good Pushbutton-Web protocol until Google Wave is widely scalable? - Brian Hendrickson

Ken, sounds like an awful mess to me. Why do we have to go through that again? - Jesse Stay

Not again. Still. - Ken Sheppardson

My guess is that WordPress implemented it because rssCloud is a lot easier to implement than PSHB. Other PSHB plugins already exist for WP. - Otto

Otto, yeah, that's my guess as well. Although they could have potentially used a third-party PSHB hub if they wanted (you can change hubs any time you want). PSHB is designed to push complexity and scalability into the hub. I don't think implementing one hub per blog is the right thing to do (which is basically what wordpress.org did - using the WP rssCloud plugin). - Matt M (inactive)

Dave Winer would point out that rssCloud has been around since 2001. Pubsubhubbub point out that they do things rssCloud doesn't that they think is better (see PriorArt on their wiki) so fill in some gaps. - Jalada

rssCloud was "around" since 2001, but only in tag form. The previous element used SOAP and XML-RPC and was poorly documented (AFAICT, this was the best reference: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss...). The REST interface to rssCloud (which makes it easy to implement), was only recently developed. Some interesting discussion on it from 2006: http://lists.apple.com/archive... - Matt M (inactive)

This is just how stuff happens. A makes a thing. B makes a similar thing that is better. People discuss A vs. B. People end up using A + B. Eventually someone makes C, D, E and F if the original idea was good enough, but has room for improvement. I don't think we're done innovating in this space by a longshot. - Jason Wehmhoener

rssCloud is a natural extension, done in about the simplest possible way. Simple usually wins, and I support it for that. It's decentralized, it's easy to support and work with, etc. However, it needs to be rapidly extended further to really pull ahead. The "cloud" is overly simple and needs to be extended to more than just "pings" before its really a competitor. - Otto

Otto, how is it more simple? - Jesse Stay

BTW, I admit I hate the name Pubsub Hubbub, but that's all I hate about it. - Jesse Stay

In a way Otto is right - PSHB was designed with the idea that hubs should be capable of rate-limiting requests. This makes any hub written from scratch more complicated if you want to do it right. rssCloud also has a significant amount of hidden complexity built into it, but it's *really* easy to develop a 90% solution. The WP rssCloud plugin is good, but there's going to be some serious scale issues with it once you have thousands of clients getting pings from it. - Matt M (inactive)

rssCloud is simpler because the "cloud" is little more than a relay. Somebody subscribes, it adds them to a list. Somebody updates, it goes down the entire list sending their URL to everybody subscribed to that URL. Nothing to it. It doesn't have to do any kind of real work. The whole of it can be less than 80 lines of PHP code. PSHB on the other hand has this implicit idea that it will... more... - Otto

Otto - rssCloud actually has to check if the feed has changed (to prevent rogue pingers from spamming updates), so it's not entirely stateless. PSHB's state isn't much more complicated. Instead of storing a single hash for the whole RSS file, it stores a map of the last RSS item ids to their hashes. If it sees a new item, or an ID item whose item has changed, it sends that off to its... more... - Matt M (inactive)

I don't think it *has* to do so. It should, obviously. And Winer's implementation of rssCloud does indeed support storage and re-serving of the feed content itself (look for saveRss here: http://rsscloud.org/walkthr... ). So perhaps I'm really just talking about the current implementations I've seen. - Otto

If you don't check that the feed has actually updated, you open yourself up to spamming all of your subscribed clients, who then thunderingly herd at the original site's RSS (assuming that they originally subscribed to the cloud from the original site's RSS' <cloud> element). There's no authentication on the ping request for external services for standalone rssCloud hubs. Note that... more... - Matt M (inactive)

If this is all working Dave Winer will see this post, via Twitter, in his RSS aggregator via the RSS Cloud. What does this mean? We will soon be able to build our own Twitters that interact with both Tweets as well as old-style blog posts via RSS. Oh, yeah, all in near real time. At most a minute between publish and reads. Right Dave? - Robert Scoble from email

By the way, the bridge is beautiful tonight and a good metaphor for what Dave is building: a bridge between Twitter and other things. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

I like this because I have faith in Dave, not because this paragraph was completely coherent. - Jimminy IS Everybody

Jimminy: it took me more than a year to get RSS. Hopefully I can explain this better soon. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Got it! http://images.scripting.com/archive... - Dave Winer

After finally getting RSS and now Twitter, now we have to figure out how they intertwine. Hopefully that will be easier. - Robin Whitson

This is Scobles cloud-enabled feed, emanating from Twitter. http://twitter.rsscloud.org/Scoblei... - Dave Winer

Robert, It's just the one sentence in the middle that I'm still trying to understand, I'm guessing you mean we can use our source to interact with Twitter and Blogs. I'm guessing this is posting to both locations. I still can't use Google Reader, it doesn't feel right to have to sit on a site to wait for feeds, my browser should update me when something new comes in. - Jimminy IS Everybody

What does it mean Dave? - Chris Saad

oops, I tried seeing mine. Access denied. :) - motownmutt

Dave, you must tell me more. :-) How is this different than just subscribing to Scoble's Twitter feed RSS in your favorite reader? (PM me if I can try it) - Jesse Stay

I have a client doing simultaneous video viewing and messaging in a viral, shareable platform now - Karma Martell

Jesse, it's explained here. http://rsscloud.org/ - Dave Winer

J: not that I know. Huh? - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Dave - very cool, so is this competing with Hubbub then? Robert, you can already create your own Twitter by publishing to your blog and subscribers getting updates via RSS. :-) This makes that stream real-time, which Twitter doesn't have. - Jesse Stay

Jesse, this was developed in January 2001. http://www.thetwowayweb.com/soapmee... - Dave Winer

I wondered why I can't read my rss stream in twitter, other way round is possible but not functional. - Michael Jung from Android

J. deakins: I had no idea who he is. I've followed him now. Jesse: the thing that this opens up for me is real time RSS and the potential for building Twitters we control. The world feels a lot like 1993 right now. Apple controls mobile. Twitter controls microblogging. Sort of like AOL and Compuserve did. Then things changed in 1994, and I see this as a step toward that. - Robert Scoble

I know that folks in business and media are all asking themselves why they are giving Twitter control over their brands and lives. Think about all the free advertising CNN has given Twitter this year. For what? So that we can take away their news brand. That seems monumentally stupid to me even though I'm benefiting from this stupidity on media's part big time. - Robert Scoble

Holden: I think they should say "follow our Twitter at CNN.com/twitter" instead of at "twitter.com/CNN." Get it yet? - Robert Scoble

oh GOD yes - finally :) - Chris Saad

totally unrelated but what were you doing up there tonight? it has been ridiculously beautiful lately. - metalerik

Robert, the only thing different about it that I can see is that it's real-time. You've been able to create your own Twitter since 2000 (or whenever RSS came to be). - Jesse Stay

metalerik: I picked my son up in Petaluma and are now driving home. Well, except now we're in an Apple store. :-) - Robert Scoble

Jesse: real time is very important. - Robert Scoble

Dave, so the only advantage is that it pre-dates Hubbub? I'm just curious, constructively, what the advantages are. - Jesse Stay

Robert, Twitter isn't real-time though - Jesse Stay

Holden: it's more than an oversight. Of course, I have the same sins (I give my brand over to Twitter and FriendFeed and Posterous and Facebook). Maybe that's why I recognize that sin in others. :-) Of course I didn't have the world's #1 news brand and don't charge thousands of dollars per minute for advertising, which CNN is now giving away for free to Twitter. - Robert Scoble

Robert - Apple store good. Getting home on time unlikely - Arthur Coleman

I'm glad YOU said it Scoble :) - Chris Saad

Jesse: Twitter is real time enough. Note that Dave got this original Tweet within a minute. - Robert Scoble

Arthur: I pay $6 to cross the bridge and $50 to buy Snow Leopard. Steve Jobs tax paid. Now we can go home! :-) - Robert Scoble

"yeah, you wouldn't belieeeeeeeeeeve how bad the traffic was..." heheh - metalerik

Holden: yup. This is why RSS Cloud is interesting. It is yet another bridge between Twitter and owning your own brand again. - Robert Scoble

metalerik: it was horrid. It seems like I've been driving all day. Oh, wait, I have been. Sigh. - Robert Scoble

Dave is on a roll. This is super! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

i'm pretty sure i never lost my brand dude... - Jeremy Toeman

Robert, when I post to my blog you get it immediately as well. - Jesse Stay

i can't help but feel this is all about something relevant to the 0.000001% of people who *both* create AND consume a tremendous amount of content, not the majority of people who barely do either... - Jeremy Toeman

Jesse: excellent. Now you'll get everything I do immediately. :-) - Robert Scoble

Jeremy: true. Most people don't care, which is why most people use Facebook. But anyone who has a monetizeable content brand, like CNN, should care deeply. - Robert Scoble

so you think CNN has "lost brand value" because they use twitter? - Jeremy Toeman

BTW - here's your missing bridge piece. :) http://images.earthcam.com/ecnetwo... - Jeremy Toeman

Here's an example: http://friendfeed.com/staynal... - Jesse Stay

Or even faster: http://friendfeed.com/jessest... - Jesse Stay

Jesse FTW. - Jeremy Toeman

super happy that robert is trying this out. i hope this makes RSS more interesting to you again :) these are good times. REDUX! - sull

Need to play with this and think through it but I believe that several of our brands are going to be interested in this - thanks for sharing Robert, and thanks for continuing to push the boundaries Dave. - Bill Sanders

Robert: Have a good weekend syncing Snow Leopard with Exchange - it's big new thing, I hear - Arthur Coleman

Next piece in this thread: RSS has no Fail Whale. http://www.scripting.com/stories... - Dave Winer

That last comment is spam. - Garin Kilpatrick

BTW -- Robert has oversold here a bit. First, don't look to what I do with RSS next week, look to what others do with it. And it may not happen next week. That's why I, as an engineer, generally don't make promises like the one Robert made. Slippage happens all the time, the best laid plans of mice and men... http://wiki.answers.com/Q... - Dave Winer

Does anyone - besides Dave and Scoble - still use RSS? I always wanted to love RSS, but I simply don't don't see the reason. It's a solution looking for a problem. Even without all the scalability problems - Twitter already delivers much more value than any other rss-based method ever did. I like the idea of a distributed microblogging system like Dave proposes for rssCloud, but don't think this will happen with RSS ever. - gui ambros
