- stanleyyork
shouldnt they be working on something important - like spam or actually keeping the service online?
- andy brudtkuhl
What a win for robbers and thieves. Now we need an app for spoofing location.
- τorƍue
"Shouldn't they be working on somewhat important" like shortening URIs on-the-fly for SMS only instead of altering data on arrival, creating a huge problem on the Web? [Sorry Andy for stealing your opening phrase]
- Sebastian
You can already spoof location. Actually, you can spoof the phone number behind the Twitter text messages, no?
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
Oh wait, they closed that hole, which has been around since the service's inception, five months ago. Only took a few years....
- Steve Lynch
from twhirl
Are they going to text compress lat/long? You can do it in like 6 characters for most purposes.
- Hayes Haugen
Is there a standard format for text compression of lat/lon? If not, now's the time.
- Ken Sheppardson
This was available before, just not on a per-Tweet basis. In IRC they have also said it will be "opt-in", and you'll have to turn it on. You can't specify which individuals it's available to though.
- Jesse Stay
Ken: not that I am aware - it's in my list of things to do. I was thinking a simple intro tag like ] and then 5 to 7 sms characters. Should be enough for 100 meter resolution as I recall.
- Hayes Haugen
Of course the first half a dozen searches on compression algorithms for lat/lon hit on patents. Because converting a floating point number in a fixed range to a shorter text string is some pretty heavy weight IP that should be protected... *rolls eyes*
- Ken Sheppardson
Oh yes, it's an incredible leap!
- Hayes Haugen
An obvious optimization is not to distribute your range equally over the planet. Don't need the same longitudinal accuracy at the poles as we do at 45 degrees.
- Hayes Haugen
My guess is they won't encode it in the message, it'll just be metadata attached like the source, author, time, etc., available only via the API or non-SMS clients
- Ken Sheppardson
boring! though one would still need some sort of client to decipher the encoded location.
- Hayes Haugen
Ken, per the dev list that's what it will be.
- Jesse Stay
I wonder which celebrity will be first to accidentally reveal their home location.

- Jeremy

- Luka
I have one, but I don't know if enabling Voice with a US Number from my gmail account will not screw things up the day Voice will be available in France. Maybe I will be stuck with the US number. I don't want to fucked up my main gmail account, so the best would be to test on one of my other gmail account, so if you can send me an invite, let me know! Thank you!
- Jeremy
I can send you the invite to your second account, just click the link with your special gmail account loged in, and it should work. I send you the link using Wave.

"Two separate sources—one inside the company and one outside it—have confirmed to Ars tonight that Google plans to launch an operating system built in some fashion around its new web browser, Chrome. One source says that the new OS will be launched soon, perhaps as early as tomorrow. Tentatively called "Google Chrome OS," the project appears targeted at netbooks... [A] quick-booting OS built around a single application like Chrome would be a natural fit for a netbook."
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
If Google doesn't build this soon, I am going to do it myself at some point. I really, really want an instant-on laptop with low power consumption running Chrome. And I am not the only one.

- Susan Beebe
Well, if you want that, you want an instant-on os, which are already available. I would prefer a fairly low power, fairly robust environment, not to mention a sharable environment with my mobile device. I'll actually be upset if Google builds "yet another OS". Also, I don't know think it would take a whole lot of work to make (strip) android and make it work based on a browser and maybe...
more...
- Tim Hoeck
Whatever it is it will need to address media - both consumable (think Netflix) and personal (my photos and my mp3s). Not to mention Google needs to get their head on straight about Android branding.
- Hayes Haugen
First reaction is that it is a misstep to separate this from their Android efforts.
- Hayes Haugen
Android has to be closer to an OS than Chrome, since it is actually on OS. Chrome does device management etc? An OS does a lot more than execute javascript in processes.
- Todd Hoff
I think currently the only OS that doesn't have a security hole is one that is locked in a closet with no network connectivity and no input or output devices.

No, on paper it's definitely not sustainable, but then strange things have happened in the past. First, there's P.T. Barnum's golden rule; second, there's far too much free capital in the industrialized world chasing after the same few viable business ideas. Neither of which looks like it'll become obsolete in this our life, or next.
- ianf ⌘
y, there's always the barnum bandwagon effect. but as far as reponsible capital is concerned, a healthy balance sheet is likely to mean a whole lot more. that won't end frivolous investments and acquisitions based on nothing but it will certainly dent the market for them considerably, and choke off the sense of possibility of both entrepreneurs, private investors and vc's.

- Fee501st
From what I can understand of what Apple has publicly said, you'll be able to upgrade to pro-features of a paid app, provided that functionality is built into the app of course. However, if you're using a _free_ version, you won't be able to purchase upgrades via micropayments. But, I could have misread that. It was a while ago.

I glanced over the front page of the NYTimes today on a coffee break and thought to myself, "geez, that's all old news already".
- Brian Ries
The definition of "News" is something that is "New" to the reader. Those not sitting online all day can get a handy filtered, noise free and considered opinion in a portable format. In-depth analysis is missing from "lifestream journalism" and a good newspaper will expand "yesterday's news"
- Michael Rose
The thing that the WSJ can do for someone is add in depth analysis and opinion. Something the social media echo chamber is rapidly showing itself to be HORRIBLE about. We get lots of info on FF / Twitter / Techmeme but much of it is distorted and biased almost beyond use. Don't get me wrong, I think there is HUGE value in FF / Twitter and love them both - but it is becoming clear that more in depth outlets are also needed.
- Soulhuntre

- Mathew A. Koeneker
Agreed. It'd be tragic for all if we lost what newspapers bring to the table. People should want to be helping them make the transition, not gleefully clapping their demise. Those are huge entities who supply jobs. Web 2.0 is quick to want the death of all things 'old' but sadly, none ever talk about or create models to replace it. At best, one out of the million blogs will be grown enough to be able to employ 30 people. Conde Nast employs hundreds and thousands. It's just a loss all around.

I doubt that everything in the WSJ was in FriendFeed . There are only a few papers in America because most are really part of a homogeneous blob due to all the syndicated stories they pick up. The WSJ does not rely on syndication, and instead produces its own material; it is by far the best newspaper in the states and is interesting all the way through. If you said the NYT or LAT, yes they are all over FriendFeed and have little depth unless they are articles dealing with culture or their local domain

More than likely, print media will be hybrid models or go digital entirely. expect it in TV as well (already has happened, etc.). the next project i'm considering is a hybrid model in hopes to create an example that can work for both. Don't kill print media!! Just help it become more modern :)

I'm a fan of the WSJ. They might not be the fastest, but they have some of the best insight I've found. FriendFeed, TechMeme, and Google Reader are better tools for determining what happened. I think the WSJ is better for figuring out the why and how. Different tools for different jobs.

That's it. And now, Turkey 7.8% !
- Numan Arda Çebi
Turkish (active and public users who shared Turkish entries) has %1.71 share in total users, and %0.88 share in total entries. (via FFholic) But it doesn't mean that Alexa is wrong. Depending on our data Turkish users do not share much but like and especially comment. So they read more than they share which increases the traffic from Turkey ;)

And also... We currently track 699 active users who share in Turkish ;)

Now you can play Robert Scoble for a day. At least in FriendFeed. The link here shows you what FriendFeed looks like to me. Cool. By the way, I'm looking at what it looks like to YOU. Just replace my user name with someone else's. - http://beta.friendfeed.com/scoblei...

sampsa, just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it's stupid for someone else to like it.

but I don't wanna be a Scoble! (in my best Seinfeld voice) :)

Not really can we see what you are seeing - from what I can tell the feed is your feed without all your hides applied. Besides playing Scoble for a day even only on FF would be too tiring.
