Dont rely on Twitter for your main news source

Where can we found this Forecast thing?
- Chris Gilmore
I don't think twitter is strong enough yet, it may be very popular like other websites but it is not as stable as the others.
- Jonathan Day
is twitter so important?
- EvilMonkey
Not to sound like a commercial for Windows 7, but watching Leo on full screen with IE 7, pretty nice. For those that are Windows Users, you have something to look forward too, and I m running intensive gaming apps at once!

Think this was a wake up call for some people regarding Twitter and their dependence on it
- Greg
Yea, Win 7
- T C Sandford
evilmonkey how many millions before it's considered "important"?
- Preternat (Ken Cadby)
I can finally update Twitter from Firefox 3.5.2 again
- Gary Kostrivas
I was in mid-tweet when twitter went down
- Kevin Ramcharan
"Federated twitter" e.g. laconica is great in theory, but in practice it won't work unless Twitter approves, supports it, and collaborates
- Ken Sheppardson
Gary I had no problem with any of the FFox 3.5.x updating twitter
- Greg
Well the downtime shows how important people think it is...
- Jonathan Day
Given Twitter's role in the Iranian elections, stuff like this is bound to be big news.
- Garance Alistair
Why? It's just not that important. Come on!
- Allyn Edmonds
What's Twitter?
- David Rysz
lol my local news (Toronto) had it as their first story, ahead of the Tragedy on the Hudson.
- Dakota O'Neill
I was down in Oklahoma but when I proxied to my california box I could get on twitter just fine.

'Cause the news is relying on Twitter for their sources
- Carey Lumeng
Yea, it is important, its a great source of spam.
- James Watt
more time to enjoy the view Molly

i was at work when all this was going on, i didnt miss it
- Fee501st
Sure it is, I get a lot of news from Twitter now, more so than just browsing the web.
- Nick Young
yeah leo, all that media tlalking about it
- Preternat (Ken Cadby)
millions of what?
- EvilMonkey
Twitter isn't important. It's a drug and "shiny new thing", but nothing more.
- TeraDyne Azurepaw
Jon and Kate were also at the top of the news for a while. You can't infer importance from the fact that something's in the news.
- Ken Sheppardson
I think that Molly is right on this
- RALPH
Just like Charlton Heston in Omega Man
- ZillaFan
How often does that happen...meaningful conversation?
- Allyn Edmonds
I had a normal day .. twitter had no effect

- Jim Shaver
Teens don't use twitter ahaha, its funny because there are more grandparents on facebook!
- Dakota O'Neill
Yeah. .we need Dvorak to comment on this... Probably why he didn't come on twit this week
- Eric Boehs
people in irc are saying friendfeed is too complicated.. huh?

AT&T works fine in Oklahoma area... Great 3G coverage for such a low pop state

- RALPH

- Dakota O'Neill
I wouldn't go back to Verizon. Each carrier has their own problems. I don't have any AT&T problems with my iPhone.
- David Rysz
I get 80 kbps on Rogers.... If it is a concentration problem, how do they do it in Japan and Singapore
- Jim Shaver
T-Mobile has great customer service but poor coverage service.
- Dale Feinstein
I use T-Mobile G1 for my phone and back it up with an iPod Touch.
- Gary Kostrivas
I couldn't be happier with my Palm Pre and Sprint these days, btw.
- Ken Sheppardson
thats a ridiculous line, if you jail break your iphone the terrorists win.
- mikemcmullan
Dale where are you ..? part of the country?
- TalkToMeGuy
its unlocking, not jailbreaking for T-Mob
- cxx dxx
Nice straw leo :P
- Eric Boehs
I'm looking at cell phones and going to be curious about how people feel about the MyTouch, since I refuse to go iPhone, though the Galaxy isn't far off...
- Patrick Sullivan
Will there be a mass exodus from at&t when the iPhone ends up on Verizon?
- Jim Bednarz
The Google/Apple FCC saga will end with the FCC stepping in saying allow the app.

Apple is not consistent with approval process.

Most of the people with iPhones I know have only a few apps and love it. GV isn't going to touch them
- Carey Lumeng
Google Voice is Sweet ! I use it a Lot !
- TalkToMeGuy
The developer note published on Saturday says that “based on the current app submission, 96 percent of applications are being approved within 14 days.”
- Eric Boehs
Google Voice is appealing to anybody who has more than one phone number of voicemail system, i.e. home and work. I think y'all are going just a *little* overboard with the "We only care because we're the tech elite" argument
- Ken Sheppardson

bing will have them before the end ot the year, ha
- EvilMonkey
Facebook is doing everything that Classmates.com wanted to do, except Classmates.com turned into a total ad agency.
- Garance Alistair
Yeah, if you write a page about a topic, guess what... it pops up pretty high in the list of relevant articles for that topic. (i.e. wikipedia)
- Ken Sheppardson
Plus Wikipedia often holds the answers to whatever you're searching google for.
- Jonathan Day
The "same old thing" aspect of Google is why I use Yahoo and Bing... and dmoz.
- TeraDyne Azurepaw
I took the Search Engine Blind Test and I picked Yahoo.
- Gary Kostrivas
gotta go lookup hegemony
- Jim Bednarz
People like finding info in a familiar format... Wikipedia gives them that
- Jim Shaver
I think one side-effect of Google being so successful is that fewer people have their own web pages with links to sites. And those other links used to be one of the ways Google decided what pages should be on the first page.
- Garance Alistair
Yes, if many people think an article is relevant... isn't it... you know... more likely to be relevant?

- Jonathan Day
Not allowing "targeted messaging" on Twitter seriously constrains the potential to commercialize the service.
- Ken Sheppardson
I don't mind people who advertise "their stuff", but not an ad that someone is paying to insert their commercial in someone else's life.
- Garance Alistair
Molly is grand!
- James Larmore
This discussion is immediately following a GoToMeeting ad? Hm.
- Ken Sheppardson
That is why Leo brought it up
- Hector
Ah... I tuned out during the ad. ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
A big problem with spam ads is that they suck. They are not interesting or helpful. Compelling ads or products don't usually make spam. Just a thought.
- Joel R
The line is most blurred on TWiT when it comes to Drobo on Macbreak and TWiP
- Ken Sheppardson
Alex, Scott, etc. are all fans of the product, who are also paid to "evangelize", in a sense
- Ken Sheppardson
You choose what twitter is for you, it can be about conversation with people who interest you or it can be following tonnes of random people.
- Jonathan Day
All of us are on Twitter to advertise.
- Ken Sheppardson
@Ken those are part of the PixelCorps though
- Jim Shaver
I don't like the idea because somebody could make it look like an ad but it might actually be say a website with a virus.
- Dakota O'Neill
Yes, Oprah is on twitter to advertise herself. But the people *FOLLOWING* Oprah are following her because they expect that. They want Oprah's ads.
- Garance Alistair
it really depends on how often the ads come up
- Daniel E. Renfer
Twitter will be history this time next year
- Rick
did the first podcasts have adds?
- EvilMonkey
no
- Jim Shaver
Also, Twitter is the company which is spending all the money to make the service available, and these commercials are not financially helping Twitter.
- Garance Alistair
Humans are inherently internally inconsistent and hypocritical, and we don't like it when other people do things we think it's OK to do ourselves. We all just need to learn to live with it and move on. ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
I am Mad about DIGG.COM's sponsored stories!!! I think that is just as messed up as ad tweets
- Nick Young
I love Molly Rants !! I finally lived long enough to hear bull crap and Oprah's name [brand] used in the same sentence !!
- TalkToMeGuy
I've been seeing a lot of twitter spam bots that have 4 random facts, and then one ad. I removed them
- Daniel E. Renfer
What if the ads were personally selected by the person on twitter ?
- Jason Cartwright
@Rick I agree, though I'd give it two years at the most
- TeraDyne Azurepaw
It was years before podcasts had ads
- Jim Shaver
as long as you put a mute tag in the tweet so I can mute it
- min
Leo has difficulty seeing other point of view here. As for me, I just won't follow an ad dropper. So some people will drop ads, and others won't. What's the big debate about?
- Preternat (Ken Cadby)
facebooks ads are just dirty
- Dakota O'Neill
Just let the market decide. If their content isn't important enough to you, you stop following, if their content is important to you, you're gonna continue following even if they have ads
- Stephen Pickering
Preternat: He's trying to reconcile his same basic reaction with the sponsorship system on TWiT
- Ken Sheppardson
too many url shorteners...
- decjr
URL shortening is a commodity with no marginal value. All the services will start to fall by the wayside, and it'll just become a feature of other sites and services.
- Ken Sheppardson
bittercakes. ahaha cute.
- Dakota O'Neill
Ken ok, but my point still is, how one person reconciles it can be different from others. His is not the only point of view.
- Preternat (Ken Cadby)
I like moourl because it has a cute cow on it.
- Jonathan Day
Preternat: I agree with you.
- Ken Sheppardson
Twitter: we couldn't find a buisness model, so we're shutting down
- Daniel E. Renfer
URL shortening is a short term arbitrage sort of opportunity. If you're building a business around it, you're doomed.
- Ken Sheppardson
tr.im had great stats too
- Klaus Bach
Name the show: TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes
- Fee501st
Bingo
- Ken Sheppardson
TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes
- Hector
To be fair, I have to add... I prefer his point of view. It's just not the only view.
- Preternat (Ken Cadby)
Bitly is gonna build a nice business around it
- Stephen Pickering
I agree and disagree, I follow certain people to advertise what they wrote or did not advertise someone elses product. I block people who only post ads, it's spam to me. I don't use twitter for ads, I use it more as an RSS in a way
- Dave Hoffman / N3PRO
from twhirl
Why can't Twitter automatically convert the shortened URLs to the actual URLs?
- Dale Feinstein
He needs money for his podcast not Twitter, Twitter is free his cost to buy stuff to make his broadcast better isn't, so ads help to make back the money he spends to bring the program to us.

Isn't patent law fundamentally unchanged since it was developed in Italy back in the 15th century?
- Ken Sheppardson
This conversation would be very different if @acedtect & @therealdvorak were here
- Mike
you have to be an engineer to be a patent lawyer, right ?
- cxx dxx
Going to law school to study patent law these days is equivalent to going into engineering to learn about buggy whip dynamics

patents try to increase innovation where there is none. We have plenty of innovation in the tech world and the current patent regime stifles it

It used to be that you could apprentice with an attorney for seven years, and that would allow you to sit for the Cal BAR in CA. Not anymore. You have to take classes at a law school now. You can, however, pass law school and call yourself a JD (Juris Doctorate).

Can't skip past the ad on the live stream can you? >_<

No, Jonathan, you can't. 'cause they sneak in content during the ad ;-)

I'm not taking that risk, there might some gems of content hidden in the ad in that case. That being said I might actually give Squarespace a try - need to sort out my wordpress.com blog.

There's an online law school (non-ABA approved) which allows you to sit for the BAR for $3K plus per year. There's another law school which meets only M-TH at night only for people who want to have a law degree for nonprofit type purposes (People's Law School or something like that). $5K plus per year.
