Crossed something off my #bucketlist this morning... had my first hole-in-one. And yes @twalk, I used the six-iron.

- John Cass
146 yards... wind in the face... i hit a 3/4 six-iron. hit the green, rolled toward the hole and disappeared. nice to see!

Education Week: Twitter Lessons in 140 Characters or Less - http://www.edweek.org/login...

"The Twitter feed for Lucas Ames’ class in American history has shown some lively exchanges of ideas and opinions among students at the Flint Hill School. One day this month, 11th graders at the private school in Oakton, Va., shared articles on the separation of church and state, pondered the persistence of racism, and commented on tobacco regulation in Virginia now and during the Colonial period—all in the required Twitter format of 140 or fewer characters. "
- Howard Rheingold
Howard, interesting post, might be cool to mention the recent discussion in the UK about the break away from the Church of England and compare to the colonial period. Were you interested because of the use of the technology or the history? Found you because I was searching on colonial history.

The use of the technology is what attracted me, not the specific subject. Howard Rheingold howard@rheingold.com http://twitter.com/hrheingold http://www.rheingold.com http://www.smartmobs.com http://vlog.rheingold.com what it is ---> is --->up to us

FriendFeed update. Paul Buchheit wrote me and said he's been very sick the past few days. That might explain why he hasn't engaged the way we want. He also offered to do an interview with me to discuss the future of FriendFeed and what they are doing at Facebook soon. We're working that out, hopefully soon (but might not be until November sometime)

I don't know if that's a good idea for you, Robert. You might be better off making a clean break from FriendFeed.
- Bruce Lewis
Thanks Robert, that's great news! Paul, hope you feel better...
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Bruce: FriendFeed=Facebook. So, I'm interested in what he's doing and I'm a big fan of Facebook's. Twitter needs some competition. The Fail Whale is getting to me.
- Robert Scoble
Another reliable update.
- ashish
I know it's a stretch but can we gather specific questions for Paul to answer?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
When other sites like twitter come out with new features, you want to be at the front of the excited crowd. FriendFeed will make you into that curmudgeon who's always saying, "So what? They did that two years ago at FriendFeed."

I guess the rusty wheel gets the oil...

Cjay: I've been working on this interview since before Facebook bought FriendFeed. :-)
- Robert Scoble
manielse: well, the interview isn't on 100% yet and now that I've talked about it in public who knows what will happen? But if it does happen of course we'll get you involved.
- Robert Scoble
Cjay: I might be a rusty wheel, but remember two things: 1. I put many many thousands of hours into FriendFeed before the sale, bringing my audience over here at great risk to my personal brand. Lots of "experts" like Mike Arrington told me I was wrong to do that. 2. I'm still here.
- Robert Scoble
OMGAWWWWW he still has "it"
- sofarsoShawn
oh im sorry Robert thats "The squeaky wheel gets the oil first" hehe, wasnt saying your are getting old or anything.
- Cjay
sofarso: I never lost it. :-)
- Robert Scoble
But yes I would agree that allowing and or resting your personal branding on a service thats based on a cloud application with it's roots depending on a social network model is very risky.
- Cjay
Cjay: actually it's not. It just looks risky.
- Robert Scoble
To those giving Scoble crap for being on FF, aren't you tired of that? You all have been doing that for at least a year. Enough. For us on FF, we'd love to see an interview, thanks.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Paul, get well soon
- Shane
Well, I'm done for tonight. Thanks you Robert for the chat...
- Cjay
Good luck for the interview, Robert and thanks for the update. Hope Paul gets better soon.

Thanks everyone. I'm actually not "very sick" though, just "kind of sick" -- it's mostly messing up my sleep.

Chicken soup - but stay away from those soul books ;) Hope you're up to speed soon, Paul.
- Micah Wittman
Looking at the time-scale, doesn't that actually answer the question? You don;t wait THAT long to deliver good news or to debunk a false rumour that killings your platform (well, Zucks platform).
- Jim Connolly
Paul - sorry to hear that! (it's 2:30 am here, I can empathize with your sleep problem)

Eric, sorry if it sounded like I was giving him crap. That wasn't my intention. I think Scobleizer has a serious career decision to make: http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin...

The problem i see is that social network cloud applications seem to live in peoples heads rent free.

Hope you feel better, Paul.

That will be an interesting interview, thanks for posting this update.

Can't wait for the interview!! Thanks to you and Paul for keeping us updated!!

Trippy. I don't speak or read Dutch, but I understood that.
- Melinda Roberts
English speakers benefit because our language is derived from both the Germanic languages and the Latin languages, so we can make out the occasional Dutch or Spanish word. Hand me something like Finnish, however, and I'm thrown entirely.

I got 5 job offers today. Weird. Sure, one was a cold call from a company looking to train people to sell life insurance (yech), one required a move to Colorado for a short term contract that offered a salary that is literally 1/2 of what I was making three months ago (yah right), etc. But two offers are very much worth considering. Both would...

Didn't know you could shut down or even own a Twitter hashtag. Brings up q's. 1st is why doens't the community just keep using it?
- Doug Haslam
answers: you can't, he doesn't, and the community will. :)
- Hillary Hartley
interesting post, thanks Doug, I've been curious about just how influential #TCOT was. Especially after they tried to influence Ford through Scott Monty. This seems like a falling out between the two people who originally started the group. I would think the people using the hashtag would just continue to use it.

Doug, thought it was a good movie, what about the ending?
- John Cass
I hadn't read the novel yet (I will!) but caught up on the original ending. i think blaming Dr. M for the attack worked thematically. I'm wondering how over-the-top the squid would have been. There must have been a reason they left it out.
- Doug Haslam
the ending was better in a way, but I think they should have been true to the book

IBM’s Social Software Statistics - http://www.johnsimonds.com/2009...
Need some big numbers? IBM's internal use of various social computing tools. 14,948 blogs--internally.
- Nathan Gilliatt
is that a blog, or a social network? I'd query IBM in detail on exactly what they are calling a blog. I talked with an IBM executive a few years ago, and it seemed to be more of a social networking tools rather than real blogs. Just checking.
- John Cass
Interesting question. I'll have to ask next time I'm talking with one of the IBM guys. Thanks.

yes it was something of surprise to me.

How Much Community Could A Community Manager Manage If A Community Manager Could Manage Community? - http://www.brianoberkirch.com/2009...
interesting question, what are the capabilities of a community manager, depends on the triage process.
- John Cass
I liked Dave Winer's quote, especially the part about quitting a company.
- John Cass
John: 'it depends' is about the best answer I can come up with.
- Brian Oberkirch
that's a good point Brian, depends on the size of the community and your goals
- John Cass
I do think you can manage the process, also, that expecting one person to manage everything is a little silly. Kind of in the same vein as expecting a subject matter expert to miraculously become a great corporate blogger, without giving them any time off to blog, or monitor. I think it is all about building an infrastructure.
