Like #2. 10/07/2008. I like MyPunchBowl but no one uses it. The last few invites I've gotten are from Evite. Seems to me that competing with an already strong existing player in the market is really tough. - Robert Scoble
what are you going to do with the tags you add to your comments Robert? And are you trying to keep track of your likes each day? - Zee from WeDoCreative
Zee: this is just an experiment this week. They do make it easier for me to pull out the things I like by searching for them. - Robert Scoble
And with critical mass being reached Facebook is a player in this space too. I do not understand how these evite competitors are going to survive in the long run. - JonathanJoseph

ESPN - Packers: 'Too early' to gauge Rodgers' shoulder injury - NFL

If he's out for too long, the Packers hopes of the playoffs will disappear - Shey via Bookmarklet
@Shey, what were they thinking going into the season without a real backup? It's karma for dumping Favre - JonathanJoseph
@Jonathan You're right -- one of the most important positions in football is the backup QB - Shey
I'm actually a believer that there is some weird form of racism that applies only to QBs. Teams complain that there are no quality options on the market yet QBs like Culpepper, Byron Leftwich, Aaron Brooks and Shaun King can't get a sniff and they are all 32 or younger. Jeff Blake before them was also out of the league by 32. These are all QBs with positive TD/INT ratios, winning records as starters and have been QBs of playoff teams. Yet Joey Harrington, David Carr, Josh McCown are in demand. - JonathanJoseph
@Jonathan Heh, it's not weird, the quintessential White QB has long been a dark area of contention in the NFL, but very rarely discussed. I doubt Green Bay will ever have a Black QB. - Shey

"He gives us the power to conquer and win." Who or what exactly are we fighting? This weekend we went to a parade in Indiana, and there was a baptist church float singing "there's power in the blood of the lord". Sounds kind of cannibalistic if you ask me. Then again, during his time, Bach was writing innovative music for the church. It really hasn't changed. Church is part entertainment. - Robert Felty

""Why's everybody tripping out?" he said from his cellphone yesterday, less than five hours after debris was removed from his surgically repaired left knee -- the same knee that's now been opened three times in 18 months. "Big picture, if I start rehabbing now and get through the pain that prevented me from running or jumping this summer, I'll be back on the court sooner," he said. "How's that a bad thing?"" - Ryne Nelson via Bookmarklet
I'm a huge Wiz/Arenas fan and this scares the bejeezus out of me. The Wizards are cursed and this does smack of Grant Hill. If Arenas can fulfill his potential the Wizards are freakin loaded for the next 3-4 years and it's shocking how underrated they are. - JonathanJoseph
They have a big three and a couple rising talents. For some reason, they're not elite. Maybe their leader needs to get more serious. - Ryne Nelson
Since Gil just got a new contract, he should expect a high level of scrutiny. Let's hope his repaired knee will allow his defense to improve. Otherwise, the Wiz will always be a first round exit (To Cleveland). If they stay healthy, they won't be underrated for long. - Amani
The Wizards don't play defense. They won't win with this team. Break it up now! - Maneesh

"That’s why Google derives more economic value on the web than any other media company — because Google figured out how to be the starting point. And they did it by offering the WHOLE web, not just a tiny slice of it. Most news sites offer a tiny slice of the web, which consists of their own content. Aggregators offer the WHOLE web. - JonathanJoseph

“Although I'm not surprised, we should stop and ask Why is the Social Media Space so Pro-Democrat?”
September 3 at 3:59 am - Link
Good question. I picture a snake and the head is resting right on San Francisco, it's just a way lefty liberal way of life. If it all came out of the deep south, it would be a different story I think. - Mike Lewis
...most people in that space seem to be early adopters; open to the dissemination of information and change. Things that seem to line up with what I feel are qualities of the Democratic side of the political scale. - JA Castillo
Right, JA. Conservative = status quo. Social media = new, early adoption, change. - Matthew Davidson via twhirl
Maybe as Stephen Colbert said, "Reality has a well-known liberal bias" - Glenn Batuyong
Mike's right I think - its the location. The problem is everyone is caught up in the "left vs. right," "us against them," "red state/blue state" b.s. - With all the collective intelligence here, I'd personally like to see some more substantial policy discussions instead of the "my politician can beat up your politician." <sigh> - Bill Sanders
@Matthew I'm not sure that's it. If so, then we should also slap the negatives of early adoption on Democrats as well, and I don't think that would be fair. - Shey
@Bill +1000!!!! Excellent point... - JA Castillo
You almost have to be an open minded person to be an early adopter. - Shawn Farner
There is a pretty close correlation between Intelligence and political persuasion. Just saying, I think you folks are smart! - Not Not Geoff Schultz
Bill: me too. That's why I wrote this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/e/c... - Robert Scoble
It's probably unfair to paint conservatives generally as 'closed minded;' It is reasonable, however, to draw a correlation between early adoption and a progressive mindset. Also, social media users tend to be young, I would guess, and young people tend to be more liberal, generally...if the target demographic of FF were 45-60 year olds, the conversation would probably skew more conservative. - Bren
Why should we stop and ask this? Does it effectively move forward the dialog about how we make America better? It seems only another way to divide and segment and create friction. NOT what this country needs. It's pure meta IMO. - AJ Kohn
liberal=loud; conservative=quiet. Social Media is the ultimate megaphone - Dave Wirsching via twhirl
Robert: thanks - keep it up, will watch the video and comment tonight. - Bill Sanders
Matthew's comment reflects a hideous bias. No reason that conservative ideology equates to anti-tech feelings. Much more likely that the bias is regional; City=Liberal, Rural=Conservative. Very little work for techies in the rural areas. California, for example, is vastly Republican by land area, but the cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego) tilt the overall counts towards the Democrat side. Where are the better tech jobs, Bakersfield or San Jose? - Wichita Lineman
I think it has to do, somewhat, with the geography of the most popular people we follow. They tend to be tech and be in Cali., the center of tech, right? or is it the forum. This ain't no AM radio talk show, huh. - Eric @ CS Techcast
@dave that's hot juicy bait if i ever saw it. - Not Not Geoff Schultz
I don't fit the typical FF user I guess. I'm 49, and quite libertarian in my views. I think that partisan politics generally has a negative effect - left or right. I always feel that policy is more important than any party line. - Ian May
Regretting getting sucked in but @Dave W: Stereotypes of any stripe are generally bad. Division is not what this country needs. That said ... Rush and the Evangelicals are quiet? It simply proves that the volume of your views isn't related to your position on the views. There's loud and quiet throughout the spectrum of views. - AJ Kohn
The Social Media space has lots of roots in the Bay Area, and it's also a fairly educated crowd: both of those are strong demographics for Democrats. I don't think it's a stranglehold; there are Republicans and independents, too. - Dan Ciruli
The social media space tends to be tech-savvy, and rooted in science. The right wing is more likely to deny evidence and eschew experimentation. It's only natural for those that value science to side politically with groups that feel the same way. - Jason Francis
Living in SF is the same as FF. - Jay Tannenbaum
So, let me get this straight. If I'm not pro-Democrat, then I must be dumb and uneducated. But if I am intelligent and educated, then I must be a Democrat. Good to know. I'll try to remember that in November. - Gregory Pittman via twhirl
Because social media is about hanging with your friends and friends tend to congregate around similar thinking individuals. I am on plenty of social nets that are more conservative than the ones others may have here. I think the real issue is why some folks have no red / no blue friends in their lists. Shows a lack of diversity in my book. - Andrew Leyden
@Gregory Pittman -- no, definitely not. But demographically speaking, the Bay Area (which is one of the geographic locations where Social Media is strong) is very democratic. And, on average, higher educated people are *more*likely* to be democratic. I'm definitely not implying that conservatives are dumb or uneducated. - Dan Ciruli
Is it really that surprising when the face of the GOP is John McCain? This is a man whose hostility towards the internet is legendary. - Matthew Davidson via twhirl
+1 Matthew - Sally Church
While I think that "location" is the explanation, we probably need to take a step back and wonder if our data is skewed. I spend very little time on the "Everyone" tab of FriendFeed, or the everyone stream in Twitter; for much of the social media community, U.S.-centric political definitions are irrelevant. - Ontario Emperor
In addition, the Ron Paul phenomenon should be taken into account. While Paul isn't really a Republican, he certainly isn't a Democrat. - Ontario Emperor
GO OBAMA!!!! :o) That McCain just scares the boo boo out of me, not trustworthy - Sheryl
Ron Paul is closer to what a Republican _should be_ compared to what the GOP has been offering. - Matthew Davidson via twhirl
Ron Paul is what most Republians were 30yrs ago. - Michael W. May via twhirl
Ron Paul has said more that I agree with than any other candidate. - Ian May
I'm just pro-Republicans and Democrats returning to the notions of good leadership and good stewardship. I think Dems talk that talk better right now. - Christopher Galtenberg
I think the answer is basically demographics - without looking at actual numbers right now, we can safely say that people who use social media are: more educated, more urban, and younger. These all correlate strongly with being a Democrat. Or we can just go with Glenn B.'s Cobert quote above. - Zachary Reiss-Davis
I'lI add that I also agreed with Ron Paul more than any other politician this cycle. That being said, you can't be an impartial american and be in favor of the current iteration of the GOP. That political party has been overrun by crooks, theives and liars who prey on the stupidity of the American people. Until the Ron Paul types, who stand for true GOP values, re-take the actual GOP, a vote for the GOP is vote for a fascist crook. The selection of Sarah Palin is an insult to the country. - JonathanJoseph
@Zachary Wow. "more educated, more urban, and younger. These all correlate strongly with being a Democrat." Personally I take a bit of offense to that. To slant that "more educated" = Democrat is a slap in the face to Republicans, or at least it should be. I think it has more to do with Democrats tending to be more vocal, especially in social media. Many conservatives tend to also be conservative in their interactive dialog. - Jeremy Hall
It's pure demo. Most early adopters are NYC,SF,LA...etc. - Erlend Wilhelmsen
