“Could Mike Arrington do his job without being in Silicon Valley? I ask because in the past 30 minutes I've learned about a stealth startup, that Mogulus will have some big news this week, and met a developer on Google's Blogger just by eating here and getting my car washed.”

The Bay area in general is pretty amazing. When I was there, in just one night I met all of the Facebook founding team (minus Zuckerberg), played Xbox with one of the original Friendster employees, and went back to my hotel on the Caltrain with a Creative Commons employee and Google employee. (not to mention my visit with Scoble the next day) You just can't get that anywhere else in the world. - Jesse Stay
I am in the midst of setting up a blog network of blogs focused on regional startups. Should be interesting to see if there are Arrington's in various other states and countries. - Micah Baldwin

AssetBar Launches Fanflow for Premium Messaging and Content
Friday at 11:25 pm - Link
My head hurts from all the Twitter talk...it's a subscription micropayment platform right? - Duncan Riley
It is a micropayment platform for sellers to reach dedicated buyers, yes. Their spin is an infrastructure that can scale underneath it, to deliver paid content via e-mail, phone, microblogging, etc. - Louis Gray
Nice! This is a business model I was considering about 6 months ago, but it's just so hard to make money off micropayments with current cuts the credit companies take off of it. - Jesse Stay
It will be cool if they can make it work, micropayments are the last, really untouched dream of Web 1.0. Definitely nice setup. - Duncan Riley
I'm going to start charging for my comments. This one is $0.05 ;) - Paul Buchheit
The check is in the mail, Paul. It might not be scalable, but it's the best I can do. - Louis Gray

Atul, AthleticsNation is run by Tyler Bleszinski. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... (I am just there to help) - Louis Gray
It means I haven't been playing the game lately. I've been doing crappy blogging and spending almost all of my extra time on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
It also is interesting that we went to Washington DC, got some remarkable interviews, none of which have been on Techmeme yet. But here on FriendFeed they got lots of praise and discussion going. I could get on Techmeme, though, by writing something idiotic with some sensationalist headline that would get lots of bloggers to link to it. - Robert Scoble
I ONLY bring this up because Robert mentioned DC...but yeah...I mean hell, you could have sat down and done an entire interview - bringing your community's questions to people really in charge in DC from reps to senators to oh, heck, I don't know... Presidential candidates...and I bet ya techmeme wouldn't notice. Of course they'd be ALL OVER 'written' responses to other blogs. But some big old video exclusive...yeah, they would ignore that. ....lol. - Erin Kotecki Vest
Can't make the big bucks on Friendfeed, Robert, as much I like your activity on here. Don't want to see you relegated to some job that will keep you away from all this madness - Bjorn Tipling
Bjorn: you might be surprised. Companies want to get close to early adopters. Companies are sponsoring our shows not because we have large audiences but because we have early adopters and influencers. Of course FastCompany.tv is advertising on Techmeme, but mostly that's just me rewarding Gabe for adding a lot of value to my life over past few years. - Robert Scoble
"I could get on Techmeme, though, by writing something idiotic with some sensationalist headline that would get lots of bloggers to link to it." Scoble, you've hit the nail on the head. Life's too short for that. - Duncan Riley
That makes you a better man, mr Riley - Bjorn Tipling
I wrote my thoughts up here: http://scobleizer.com/2008/07/... - Robert Scoble
the end is here...;) - Jeremiah Owyang
I'm not really getting Roberts comments (and Duncan's either). Are you saying that it's not the Techmeme isn't linking to you, it's that you don't care about Techmeme? That before, you were creating content to specifically self-promote via that channel, but now you are getting paid for media that is based on early adopters and influencers and your personal brand marketing strategies have changed? Just wondering. - leigh himel
Leigh: the #1 way to get onto TechMeme is to talk about what's already on TechMeme. Note that my "waiting in line for iPhone is glorious" article is already at the top of TechMeme. How did that happen? I saw a headline on Techmeme, and wrote about it, but added something new. Those get onto Techmeme a LOT easier than some original thought that brings more value. So, if I stop reading Techmeme, or caring about it, yes, that TOTALLY makes it less likely I'll get onto it. - Robert Scoble
Being linked to a meme headline doesn't count in the leader board standings. So sure it would get you onto Techmeme but wouldn't affect your top 100 position. - leigh himel
He's back on the list #98. - Steve Rubel
Extremely interesting conversations going on here. If I had to choose between being entertained or growing/learning - I'd definitely pick the latter. - Sonciary Honnoll
I might add it's fun if you can accomplish both at the same time. :) - Sonciary Honnoll
As result - TechMeme's stagnation http://www.google.com/trends?q... - Igor Poltavskiy
The techmeme leaderboard is pointless? :) - Jason Kaneshiro

im just trying to be funny...hehe good post btw. - (jeff)isageek
Wow, twhirlscope down -- gotta try this out - Shey
ah! and I was wondering why my twitter vanity search hit on that topic as I do not like the air apps. but grouping actually would be a reason to try it out. problem: as long as twitter decimates the request rates it is unreliable, but a first step in the right direction. will download it now ;) - Nicole Simon
Louis, I think you're right - there is still innovation happening around Twitter, fortunately. The fact is there is still a huge audience on Twitter and that audience still has the potential to be monetized. I'm even building something around Twitter at the moment. There is still that threat though, that developers could leave if Twitter keeps neglecting them - it's in the back of the mind - Jesse Stay
"feels" like Twhirl. Wish it had FF support...if it does it wasn't obvious from the website. I agree with others that I'd really like to see these Adobe air apps with some better skins - Rob Neville via twhirl
"Now, now, Jeff. I mentioned in the article that I typically prefer native apps or Web apps to AIR apps, but this one is very interesting, at least to me." - That's part of why I like the platform so much. Most people like native apps but AIR apps are pretty easy to build so there's bound to be a few that people really like. (Ryan - rstewart@adobe.com) - Ryan Stewart

TweetDeck: New Twitter AIR App With Summize Integration, Groups
Friday at 11:56 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"TweetDeck offers four major columns in which to organize Twitter data: "All Tweets", essentially your friends' timeline, "Replies", showing replies to you, the equivalent of Twitter's replies tab, "Search", which will keep a running search window open for a term you've selected, and "Group", which lets you make a sub-set of those you follow on Twitter, and make a miniature timeline" [This seems like a hardcore Twitter tool. Lots of windows and activity. Seems to occupy an entire screen.] - Bwana McCall via Bookmarklet
"The recent strain at Twitter has resulted in the service reducing the number of API calls developers can make to get Twitter updates, and there, TweetDeck has you covered as well, so you learn if there's any slowness, where to lay the blame" [This alone has reduced my faith in Twitter apps to zero. The apps can only be as good as Twitter's API. It's current state is ridiculous. ] - Bwana McCall
Show 3 more comments
"While Jesse Stay and others have said Twitter's major issues have decimated the developer community's efforts around Twitter, there are still some looking to innovate, TweetDeck being a good example" [I hope for their sake that Twitter gets their act together. I would hate to see such an effort go to waste.] - Bwana McCall
None of it will be wasted effort. Because a smart developer will see the larger vision of microblogging incl things like FF and identi.ca - Tris Hussey via twhirl
Bwana, I still think there will be innovation, I just know a lot of frustrated developers and it can't last long if it's taking time and effort. I was simply sharing some real life examples of developers leaving the platform because of this. Truthfully, I'm actually developing my own Twitter apps on the side - you better believe that the non-Twitter systems are on the back of my mind, and will be a backup though. I could pull away from Twitter at any time, and I'm sure they could as well. - Jesse Stay
TweetDeck is the #1 trending topic on Summize. I love it. http://www.summize.com - Louis Gray
Of course it is :) I'm only getting female replies. Naah ... must be me ... - Charlie Anzman
Been using this a few minutes now - I like it a lot. I'm one of those people who subscribes to hundreds and hundreds of tweets -- more than I can possibly keep up with.

what happens when you get your wish and everyone jumps onto the friendfeed bandwagon? friendfeed goes down due to growing pains and everyone complains until we go to...what? indenti.ca? plurk? i'm riding out the storm with twitter. - Matt Musgrave
Matt: you must have not gotten the memo. FriendFeed's founders are two guys who designed Gmail and Google Maps. The designer designed Google Reader, Gmail, and other things at Google. Does Google go down? Even under extreme loads? Enough said. - Robert Scoble
Hi Robert, I created my FriendFeed account. visit my site http://grou.ps/obesity - Obesity Help
Matt, Friendfeed does also syndicate out to IM or SMS either so the load is quite smaller. - Ralph Whitbeck
hmmm...scheduled maintenance 6pm on day before July 4th...feels like road construction crew on highway on Sat night - Pokai

yah yah yah - what else is new - greetings from Milan (that's Milan Italy. not Milan Scoble) - Marc Canter
I still get bummed when it's down. 8:30 PST is a looong time from now... :( - Sonciary Honnoll
No seriously, this is unfreakinbelievable! The level of downtime is nearing historic proportions! - Mario Sundar
this has to be peak usage time, why do they not wait until the middle of the night, there has to be a lower usage point that is more opportune for the upgrade - Lou Paglia
Truly remarkable. - John McCrea
I expect many more FriendFeed users and many more identi.ca notices... those have been fast and furious this week too. - Lucretia Pruitt
the fact that they scheduled it during this time is just amazing to me.. WTF were they thinking? - Mark Williamson via twhirl
is that what they call down time now :-) - Duncan Riley
This is obviously not scheduled maintenance. As Lou said you don't schedule maintenance during peak usage hours. I don't think any of their "Scheduled Maintenance" is really that. - Michael Tefft
Michael - I saw a note on my homepage saying they had scheduled the down time for 6pm today... so this was scheduled - Mark Williamson via twhirl
The Twitter Out-of-Service message I just saw says they are preparing for the holiday (like is traffic expected to go up or go down you think?) - Dennis E. Hamilton
The nice thing about FriendFeed is there is plenty of stimulation above and beyond waiting for Twitter to come back to life. - Dennis E. Hamilton
i must be a sucker for an underdog. google's load handling is amazing and i suspect friendfeed would behave the same. there's just something about following a large number of people that makes twitter more appealing to me. maybe if we could collapse comments in ff? what i'm drawn to most about twitter is that i can quickly scan down the list of updates of people i follow. and the 140 characters forces bite-size updates for quick reading. - Matt Musgrave
