BTW, I have not seen Wicked before, neither has Rebecca. I need to take Rebecca dancing, although I prefer the Swing and ballroom type myself. :-) (that, and not sure I can convince Rebecca to go to a techno club with me) - Jesse Stay

Swing is a lot of fun. I need to get Rebecca lessons though. :-) I used to do the Swing Kids Swing club at BYU the 2 quarters I was there. I was pretty good at one time. - Jesse Stay

What you should do is find a local club that has a free dance night where anyone can come swing dance. Then, just practice with each other, watch what others are doing, and start there. Then if you think you want to learn more you can take lessons. - Jesse Stay

Awesome play. The book is even better. - Beau "Slick Foot" Liening from iPhone

I'm using lists as more of an endorsement than anything - I just don't use the Twitter UI enough to use the lists for reading data. I also don't read every single post in my stream. That's what Facebook is for. - Jesse Stay

@scobleizer Robert, you are dead on! FYI @Peoplebrowsr already supports lists (read-only, I think). - Alexandros Georgiadis

I use my lists as filters. Their primary use is for me. Others may find them useful, but that wasn't my purpose in assembling them. - empireofno from FreshFeed

I'm trying to slowly build lists. Its hard to find the time. I wish Twitter would let me search within my friends for keywords to help make the process faster. - Mary-Lynn

When I see someone write something interesting I add them to a list, simpels :D - Asgeir

I will subscribe to lists when they become more sophisticated and complete; that is, ones that are built around specific organizations (all off Google's official Twitter accounts, for example) or based on user statistics (Favstar is off to a good start with that). Otherwise, lists are just subjective categories that I can create best for myself. - Cloud

I'm just a little confused about lists. What benefit is there in actually following a list? Why can't I say bookmark one of Robert's lists and visit it directly? Seems to give me the same information. - Pavan

Lists are no different than the rest of Twitter - not without it's issues and used however you want to use it. I use them to track groups of friends, colleagues, categories. Some use them to unclutter their main stream. Use them however you want. - Damien Basile

Pavan: I think following a list will pay benefits in the future. Right now it just adds a link to that list on your home page. - Robert Scoble

Why waste money on pretend Doctor sets, when you can inspire your kids to try and make a go at the fast food industry. - Davis Freeberg

An excellent point, Davis. The scary thing to me is that there was a full line of McDonalds toys at this store (a Toys-R-Us outlet in the Stanford Mall). I took a couple of other photos too. Do kids actually like these toys, or does McDonalds just want them to? Either way, it's an excellent brand extension by McDonalds, but it makes me sad. - Stephen Mack

The same toys existed when we were kids too. I had a toy cash register. They just weren't branded like this. - Otto

I think that when I was a kid, I had a similar toy set, but it might have been a generic burger stand. I can't say that it hurt me any, but I do remember eating a lot of playdough as a child. - Davis Freeberg

I don't mind cash register toys. I do find the branding to be questionable. It seems like a fairly transparent attempt to get kids hooked on McDonalds at a young age. (But mostly I posted this because of the silly "WOW! Just Like Home" label with the misspelling of McDonalds.) - Stephen Mack

They don't need branding like this to appeal to children. The Happy Meal covers that just fine. I loved those things when I was a kid. Of course, McDonald's burgers now make me physically ill. I'll stick with Wendy's. :) - Otto

It is really hard to find un-branded toys these days (We finally found a play food set at costco that didn't have any branding) Between movie tie-ins and disney almost every toy is branded. I think there may be a market opportunity in specializing in unbranded toys. - Carl Haynes

I prefer toys that let you create things. Legos (in big box bulk form only, not the little crap sets). Erector Sets. Heck, even Lincoln Logs. Most of the more specialized toys went unused when I was a kid. Had more fun with the cardboard box. - Otto

Well said, Otto. - Stephen Mack

a box house or fort was always the best - VAL D.

I posted on this thing a couple of years ago. I'm stlil at loss about it. When we were kids, we played doctor, astronaut, even class (someone was a teacher and bossed the others around). We never played McDonalds. - Anika

The way it's posted, the photo is funny. However, FYI, "Just Like Home" is the company that produces these toys (along with quite a few others). - Curtiss Grymala

Regarding all of the comments about playing with cash registers and the comments about branded toys: a) I think playing with cash registers is actually a good thing. They help teach young children basic math, they help them understand that things actually cost money, etc. Some of the newer cash register toys are really pretty amazing, having realistic bar codes that can be scanned,... more... - Curtiss Grymala

To your first point, Curtiss, I agree, toys that promote imaginative play or math-related play are usually good toys, and that includes toy cash registers. I don't even think this toy illustrated is a "bad" toy, just not one I'd choose or recommend because of the associated branding. - Stephen Mack

I agree with you, Stephen. I, personally, wouldn't buy a McDonald's-branded toy for my kids (and I definitely would not pay extra just to get the McDonald's name on it). However, I am guilty of buying other "branded" toys (and collectibles), for me and for my kids. I've always been a fan of branded Pez dispensers, and have also collected M&M-branded toys for most of my life. I can speak... more... - Curtiss Grymala

Since News Corp suck at reporting and Murdoch is a greedy bastard, I say 'Good bloody riddance' - Mo Kargas

Also makes me wonder what News Corp is doing with MySpace now - what do they have up their sleeves? - Jesse Stay

Good, it would save me the trouble of having to look to see if something comes from Murdoch's entities. I doubt this will actually happen, though. - Rob H.

Sorry but most people won't even realize that News Corp content is missing. People will search and they'll find other sites. Sorry, the unibrow of the web wins. - AJ Kohn

So if I link to a News Corp article via Twitter... will that tweet not be searchable? - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Johnny, they can block Google spider from news corp sites but twitter will still be indexed as usual. - Amit Morson

He was saying the top ten news oranizations should get together and make an offer to Bing... but that Rupert was likely the only one with the balls to do it; and that Google set a precedent by paying Twitter to index their content. :o) - Ken Morley

Genius! epic win for sure! - Jason Calacanis

Only way to make money from your content is to control it from the beginning. News Corp gave it away in several ways on the internet, including allowing Google search to go through their websites. Now that it has happened, if they choose to close off key avenues of information to go out to the users that are now used to getting their information a certain way, will backfire beyond... more... - CW™

One word, "Antitrust." Or is that two words? The bulk Twitter feed apparently was not available to the public or it would have already been searched by Google. If content is available to the public now for free, I don't know how you are going to exclude some member of the public (Google) from accessing that content without creating a legal problem. - Jimmy Walker

I love moves that make old media harder to get to, driving those bastards farther behind their walls, marginalizing their impact even further. It makes just that much more space to allow the future to get her sooner. - Matthew DeVries

I guess new media won't kill old media after all. Old media will simply commit suicide. - Victor Ganata

I think Rupert should do it. Not because I want see News Corp. die (sorry all) but because they have a right to control their content, and he is probably right about the fact that losing readership to actually paying subs is more worth it in the end. Plus, if google had to pay Twitter for content, why shouldn't Google pay for their content which *is* worth MUCH more (whether we like it or not) - Holden Page

And Jason just sent around an email newsletter explaining. I'd post it but its Copyrighted. - Roberto Bonini

What, this? http://calacanis.com/2009... - Daniel J. Pritchett

Why is he "talking about it"? Couldn't a quick change to the robots.txt file (which Google and legitimate search robots obey) exclude Google? - Brian Sullivan

Jason get rich by flux, it doesn't matter to him who wins, as long as there is change, upheaval and instability. Flat markets are Satan that he must fight. It does not surprise me that he advocates points of view that represent a sea change in the industry. It matters not to him whether new media or old media wins, just that there is a decade of fighting. - Matthew DeVries

For sure they want to be' payd as Twitter, the move to exit from the index is a suicide about advertising, by now it guarantee 100000 imp x day (It's in the answer of google to Murdock). - Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF from iPhone

@Jesse @SAM I'd say those are two of the most popular. Do you pay for your accounts? What made you go with one over the other? - Mitchell McKenna

Mitchell, I pay about $50/mo for mine, but I think the plan I'm on allows more than one login for time tracking, etc. I haven't done any recent comparisons, although I should. When I joined it was the cheapest, simplest, and most feature-rich solution I could find. - Jesse Stay

@mitchell... Freshbooks was recommended to me by good friend, and I went with it. I do pay for my account, and I can't remember which plan I have, but it's not much at all... maybe $20/year? - SAM

Sam, does Freshbooks do time tracking? I like Harvest because I have an iPhone app and OS X widget I can track time on. - Jesse Stay

Maybe it's $10/month... I should look into that. - SAM

My plan, which includes 5 users, is $40/mo. 1 user is just $12/mo. - Jesse Stay

It does time tracking... I just got my iPhone so I haven't looked into functionality there... I do use a netbook in meetings though and turn on the time tracker when I sit down occasionally... it helps keep clients focused. :) - SAM

@SAM "it helps keep clients focused." - haha! - Mitchell McKenna

I've been using clockingit.com for my PM, but need an easy, inexpensive (and flexible) invoicing program. Preferrable one that will work on Ubuntu. - Jeremy

There's also a free plan on Harvest for up to so many clients I think - Jesse Stay

Ahhh... $12.50/month. - SAM

@Jeremy I'm on Ubuntu as well. So I'd need a cross-platform client or a web-based client. - Mitchell McKenna

And allows for 1 more staff... Jesse's program seems to be very comparable if not slightly cheaper... I would go on integrability and user interface from there. - SAM

@Jeremy what's your budget for the an invoice app? do you need something free? You could start using Freshbooks or HarvestApp for free, if you like it, buy a basic plan. - Mitchell McKenna

harvest looks nice. I've seen freshbooks before. My budget is what the CFO says I can spend on it. I'm using good 'ol Indesign now. That's no fun. - Jeremy

webworkerdaily.com pointed me to this great article comparing HarvestApp, FreshBooks and BlinkSale http://bit.ly/9rONE - Mitchell McKenna

If I may enter the conversation, there's also Bill4Time.com. It tracks time and organizes it by client-project-task. Phone app, desktop widget, data backup, invoicing, etc. The free version is for a single user, up to 2 active clients, and 3 open projects. The next level is $20/user. But that price includes the tech support, phone app, etc. I don't remember any additional costs. - Jessica

Oh, forgot: the Lite version is $20/user/month. Again, it's the complete thing w/o additional costs & no contract thing. - Jessica

No app is needed, importing Flickr into the feed is directly supported. However, this doesn't import the picture into a Facebook album or anything like that. Just shows on my news feed that I posted a new photo on Flickr. The picture remains there on Flickr, it just adds a link. - Otto

I was simply going off of the talk itself and audience reaction I was seeing on Twitter, and wanted to be sure it wasn't the case that Paypal was trying to do it alone. This wasn't intended as conspiracy theory, nor critique in any form. I was simply stating an observation and hope that the perception of the audience wasn't true.

I'm still on Chrome 3.0.195.27 but it says no update detected... this is in Win7. Pretty sure my OSX Chrome is 4.0.223.11 though. - Jan Ole Peek

4.0.223.11 is the latest in the dev stream. - Brian Sullivan

Works on Chrome Mac version here. I added the script as a new bookmark in the menu. - Jesper Lind

Try this instead to avoid the %20 weirdness: javascript:void(document.body.contentEditable=(document.body.contentEditable!='true')) - Matt Mastracci

Doesn't seem to work either -- maybe a bug in the dev version? - Brian Sullivan

World's coolest bookmarklet, especially those who are creating demo apps. - Mike Reynolds

Wow, this is awesome (works perfectly for me in Firefox 3.5). Simple Bookmarklet code that makes Web pages "editable". Now if only there were save + back buttons or something = Instant Wiki. - Alex Schleber

I realized after playing for a while, some of the keyboard events stop working, like submitting form by hitting Enter .. (FF 3.5.3) - Onur Gündüz

this is the fundamental line of every wysiwyg editor you use. for IE use allowEdit - Tzury Bar Yochay

Clicking it a second time makes it un-editable (and therefore it should respond to events and such). - Paul Buchheit

So how do you discover 'hidden' links.? - Bicentennial (Franc)

Cool, worked for me (the box is Windows Chrome 3.0.195.27) - ǝuǝƃnǝ

I mean in all open tabs and windows, not just in editable mode. It stayed that way, still no keyboard events (not restarted ff yet) :) - Onur Gündüz

Figured how to make it but what's it good for - pretending to rip other people's stuff to sh*t? - Michael Slattery

Michael - I'm thinking about possible use as a minor webdesign tool. Of course other tools are more powerful, but this is a nice simple one. - Deborah Fitchett

Ok, I finally get it - Michael Slattery

Wondering why Google invested in GWT when something like Closure existed already internally?!?

Pardon my ignorance, but GWT? - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Google Web Toolkit. Google GWT. :) - Louis Gray

Maybe for the Java community? Isn't Closure mostly Javascript? GWT is a Java toolkit, isn't it? - Jesse Stay

Are they replacing the old footballs with these? I still have a PayPal football, but it's almost at it's two-year limit so I'll have to replace it soon. - Jason Huebel

Jason, looking at their site I believe the footballs are still for sale, but these are brand new, so not sure. - Jesse Stay

Would this have anything to do with the Google Chrome OS? Could they be doing this open sauciness to make the technology read for third party developers? - Johnny Worthington

Love posts like this - getting uber-geeks in the loop with each other pushes the web forward maybe more than anything else - Christopher Galtenberg

Thanks, Christopher and Jenna. I know this is not destined to be a high-traffic post, but it's the right thing to do, to help understand it a bit more. There are enough other blogs writing "10 Tips for Twitter Lists" already. :) - Louis Gray

Johnny, I doubt the 2 are correlated, but it is interesting that both Google and Facebook released big Javascript APIs as open source in the same week. Regardless, it's always nice to see companies opening up more, something Google has been known for doing quite awhile now. - Jesse Stay

Bruce: I took the freedom to download the original of the photograph and hit the auto-levels button and increased the saturation by a notch. Here is the new version: http://ourdoings.com/awalkth... I believe this is what caught your attention. Check your camera settings; I believe you are over-exposing your images. - Pavan

Yes, that's more like it. I knew it didn't come out like what I saw, and one of the things I did was crank up the brightness, which didn't quite do what I wanted. - Bruce Lewis

I looked at your other photos; outdoor shots are consistently overexposed. If you look at the skies they are white (255 white). Not sure if it is due to your brightness adjustment or due to your camera over-exposing. I downloaded a couple of your other pictures and tried the same, auto-levels and bump on the saturation; they started looking great.. but I couldn't bring back the skies... more... - Pavan
