How many do you believe it is, Thomas? I just got an amazing book from Penny Power that may help answer the question?
- Louis Gray
The question is who cares outside the US :-). America isn't the only one with tech news :-P
- Richard A.
ahhh delighted the book arrived enjoy, been watching your video interviews on Youtube this morning excellent. We have 41 booked for your London event next month only 34 places left. Should be a sell out. I thought the silicon valley club was less than a 1,000 supergeeks and commentators. http://www.ecademy.com/module...
- Thomas Power
1000 supergeeks is a huge amount. Where do they all fit. There are more writers than people interested in the topics.
- Richard A.
The world's finest, eh? Wow, I never knew I was rubbing FF shoulders with such high-falutin' people!
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Yes in my view LG is the best in the world and certainly in this FFplace. It's my personal opinion. If you can suggest someone better please share.
- Thomas Power
WoH, Thomas has always been very kind to me, and I have appreciated learning from him and his wife. I am looking forward to going to London for my first time ever next month and meeting them both in person.
- Louis Gray
I have 2,548 subscribers on FF. Am I connected to the 2000 you mention because you have 10,856 FFsubscribers? Robert has 47,624 subscribers but of course we all know everyone loves to ffollow him. When I see numbers on Compete.com like 1m UVs http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendf... I tend to divide by 10 and suggest 100,000 actually login and use FF each month. If 2% of these are the Geek2000 then I am happy with that number. Clearly FFacebook wanted FF more for talent than code.

"Today we bring you a great collection of portraits of the most iconic people throughout history. Portraits explore the relationship between the subject and the photographer or artist and usually continue to impress the viewer years after they have been created. The common thread running through all of these portraits is superlative design. Each is a masterpiece in its own right, from the medieval painted portraits right up to the most current photographs. This collection is arranged in alphabetical order and is by no means complete. We encourage you to post comments as to which portraits we’ve missed, that you feel should be part of this collection."

some of the world's most iconic portraits in this set.

I did that, but I was heading vertical, school had a vaulted ceiling and I went running, stepped on a chair right were it dropped, on impact both shoes fell off, one hit a guy in the face.
- Gimminy
wonder if that kid had aspirations of being a stunt guy... "dignity, always with dignity" ;)
- alphaxion
If I weren't afraid of going right through the wall, I'd probably still try that. I know I would have done that (and did similar things quite often) when I was much younger.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
This is still superb this morning after. :-)

Jason_Pollock: @Scobleizer none of the SUL ppl in that CNN article are near the amount of Lists that u r on. The lists show twitter relevance in new way. - http://twitter.com/Jason_P...
What can I say. Getting sick of people not anticipating success. I mean, you're at TC50, you're (apparently) launching a geek's wet dream, so, yeah, of course you don't need a lot of servers. So Twitter-like for now, I stopped caring.

Tough choice for my future communication service... Google Wave or Threadsy???
- Philippe
Signed up for it and filled the survey which is a nice way of extracting information from people that are eager to try it out.
- Usman Bashir
What's the deal in the survey where we promise not to blog about it?
- Vezquex
Too early to tell what it's like Zee as it's just a request for an invite. Is the promise not to blog a clever marketing ploy I wonder? One thing - it always frustrates me that when I fill out my UK address on most sites it still insists on my filling out a state (or I can't register). We don't have 'states' in the UK so why try and appeal internationally and then limit it to US subscribers - unless we make up an address as I just have!
- PaulJohnson
I just put UK when it asks for my state, most forms dont seem to bother checking its really valid as long as you put something in :)
- Simon Wicks
Seems like Threadsy sits between FriendFeed & Google Wave. Frankly I'm not willing to invest in another product till after trying Wave with others.
- CannonGod
CannonGod: but how long will it be until Wave is accessible by the general public? I thought it was gonna be a while like a year or more.
- BRҰANSAҰS
I'm with CannonGod on this one if it sits between FF and Wave - seems better to just invest in Wave
- Wang Yip
@Bryan: Google Wave is expected for release by the end of September. Threadsy might have known this and decided to release just before to get some coverage.
- CannonGod
I sent in email and survey some hours ago. Still nothing.
- Manuel Mas
Just got my invite and started playing with Threadsy. So far I like the AJAX-y inbound box. Can't test the unbound box too much because overall my friends are not into social sites. Bummer!
- Philippe
Is there anyone out there with a better video demonstration of the product?
- Manuel Mas
Had my invite but suddenly lost access to the site. When I tried to log in one day after first successfully accessing the site, I got this error message: "couldn't log you in with that information". :(
- Philippe
I tried to reset my password and I get this message: "success! we just sent an email to you at". I did not leave my email address out of this message, this is exactly what I get on my screen and one day later I am still awaiting my password reset. I have a bad feeling about this one... :(
- Philippe
Trying it out now but cant seem to add facebook or any other services expect gmail & twitter.
- Usman Bashir
Whoa! This comment stream escaped my notice. We're trying to get threadsy invites out as quickly as possible to everyone who requests one. Thanks for your patience!
- scott
trying it, wish there was a way to filter the twitter stream
- Kim Landwehr
Got my invite on Friday night but I haven't tried it yet. The lack of OAuth etc for the various accounts makes me a little worried about putting in my details. For Gmail you just enter your username and password. There's no 'getting permission from Google' stage. It's a shame because I really want to try it...
- Martin Bryant
Martin Bryant: Thats the exact issue i have with it, i did try it out but giving it login details to so many important accounts is the wrong way forward they should look in to other methods of solving this issue like the OAuth, Facebook Connect & etc.
- Usman Bashir
It's great for Facebook and Twitter, but it lacks the features of a full email client. This is a good trend in computing, where people can choose apps independent of the protocol.

Welcome Baby Ryan!!! My baby Ryan (17 years!) and I are honored to welcome another superstar to our planet! Love, hugs, and lots of kisses to Baby Ryan, Mommy Maryam, Dad Robert and big brothers Milan & Patrick and of course Grandma!!! My guess on Ryan's arrival (predication) was only 23 hours off. I thought he would arrive on Friday, Sept. 18th at 11:45 pm. Love to all, Kelly & Ryan Kim
- Kelly S. Kim
What a moment, eh? I remember when my daughter came into this world, it was so exciting there were no words for it. Congrats on your wonderful baby boy!
- Michael J. Carrasquillo
Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Ryan. :-)
- Yvette Ferry
Congratulations Robert and Maryam! And welcome Ryan. If I was having a baby today, I'd begin a blog for him/her straight away as an online diary they could look back on when grown up.

I was a c-section six week preemie in an era when that was seriously life-threatening, they didn't know if I would make for the first week. It always gets me a see a c-section / preemie come howling into the world. Welcome, little guy!

Congrats! I wish a long and healthy life.

I hate Facebook's "friend suggestion" feature. I frequently accidentally try and add these people thinking I'm approving friend requests. I wish they didn't have that.
to make matters worse. If you do accidentally click on it Facebook then tries to foist the scheme on you trying to make you suggest friends of yours for other users. There should be a better way to go about this.
- Thomas Hawk
I wonder how Facebook would feel about letting people opt out of this.
- Thomas Hawk
I've found out the hard way you have to be cognizant of all your clicks in Facebook. Otherwise you could end up in a pickle.
- ChiliMac
I hate Facebook - so I guess I'd agree with you. :)
- Jack Humphrey
It's one of many, many poor features from FB. At least give is more details of the users, like mutual friends and pages.
- Kol Tregaskes
AGREED! i never add friend suggestions.
- Jason Pollock
I hate all the ads"who is looking for you" who cares?
- John D Reasor
Why don't they just drop this 'freind' thing altogether and just leave it for users to open subscribe. Just because you 'freind' someone does not mean that does it? It just means that you want to follow or subscribe to their wall or 'feed' if you like.
- Kevin J Hatton
"strong" is an important word there. Because sometimes you could live through it but you might say WTF and just relax and let it pass, i would call it live and leave.

Some of us (me, @heykim, @thanatos_rises, @drslimpepper, etc.) are wondering if this is the real Danny DeVito. @heykim: "where is SHERIFF @Alyssa_Milano when i need her :)"
- Dennis Jernberg
@Danny_DeVito already has a faker: @Danny_DiVito (note variant vowel). @juliryan outed the fake.
- Dennis Jernberg
Would you buy a used car from Danny DeVito? No? But his nuts are ON FIRE.
- CannonGod
Danny Devito is only getting better with age. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of the funniest things on TV. The entire crew brings it.
