anvedi se non è un infoservo questo... google si fa triciclo per fare streetview nei centri storici italiani. e lo sconosciuto giovanotto qui sotto, tapino, pedala :)
Ci sono alcune strade del centro di Roma, o altre chiuse al traffico, che non erano state fotografate.
- Numero 6
piu che altro il tapino c'è dovuto andare all'alba: in altri orari fontana di trevi così sgombra non s'è mai vista a memoria d'uomo
- Borgognoni
ma infatti è quello che mi fa pensare al fake. quandomai la fontana di trevi con solo due, dico due persone - a parte l'onesto lavoratore del triciclo :)
- Markingegno - Donato
La foto è vistosamente all'alba, può anche essere.
- Numero 6
ok, io un giorno potrei pure tirare l'alba per fotografare una cosa del genere, ma mi porto dietro la mitragliatrice, se ci sono più di 3 persone so' cazzi.
- Markingegno - Donato
no no, fonte ufficiale, niente fake... a meno che non sia uno scherzo di google :)
- Alberto D'Ottavi
in effetti per il prossimo carnevale mi potrei vestire da "riprenditore" di google e andare in giro per posti improbabili :)

A friend at Facebook told me this story last week. A guy advertised on Facebook saying he was looking for a job. That part worked great. He got noticed. But he screwed it up. How? He linked those ads to his resume on LinkedIn, which is Facebook's competitor. No job, sorry.
- Robert Scoble
Was there meant to be a link to the story in there somewhere?
- Chris Wright
Chris: I just posted the story in the comment above yours. That's the story. Right here. Sorry, I designed that part for when it gets over to Twitter. So you won't see a link here on friendfeed, only over on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Moral of the story is that if you are going to be creative, that's very cool, but make sure you don't link to the competitor of the site you are pitching for a job.
- Robert Scoble
No probs. I just saw the "click here for the story" and thought it was making reference to something elsewhere.. (No need for me to click anywhere in Twhirl/Firefox cos the story was right underneath it). Doh, apologies, I read it too literally... :)
- Chris Wright
Hummm your twitter link just comes here, again nothing useful to see. Sure the story about the guy using LinkedIn to apply for a Facebook job is amusing the annoyance is that your twitter just links to your friendfeed which contextually says "click here" for the story and there is no link. This is one of the many reasons I never use friendfeed. Contextually thing do not translate and It's nothing more than an glorified RSS reader for social networking with comments. Woopie!
- Christopher Mercer
Christopher: OK, I fixed the wording so it works better here. Happy now? You are wrong, totally wrong, by the way.
- Robert Scoble
Spidra: how did you ever come to the conclusion that LinkedIn is not a competitor of Facebook? It most certainly is. So is Twitter. So is friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
That's ok Robert. You can say I am wrong as much as I think in this case you are. That does not necessarily mean you (or I) are correct either. Let's just agree to disagree.
- Christopher Mercer
Christopher: no, that's not how this game works. You pointed out something that now is totally wrong. friendfeed is NOT just an aggregator of social networking. If it were, it would not have let me edit the headline in response to reader demand. friendfeed is a LOT more than that and to say something so clueless without backing it up is pretty lame, dude.
- Robert Scoble
Spidra: they both are social networks. They both are competing for your attention and time. They both are competing for advertisers. Facebook is increasingly becoming more and more serious over time and Facebook certainly wants business users.
- Robert Scoble
I've never looked at a LinkedIn resume, but I suspect that it would be a whole lot more professional looking than any one on Facebook. If Facebook were smart, then they'd have interviewed him and asked why he'd used their competitor's site rather than their own: he may have some great ideas for improving Facebook's offering in that respect.
- James Myatt
Christopher: friendfeed is NOT an RSS aggregator at all, especially when it comes to Tweets. Those come here over a protocol that has nothing to do with RSS. So, when you say it's an RSS aggregator you are totally wrong.
- Robert Scoble
You can also make the argument that every website is a competitor of Facebook's, especially a personal blog, but I'm sure that Facebook would see personal blogs as positive.
- James Myatt
Robert are you still obsessing over my comment? And you accuse me of being lame.... time to move on!
- Christopher Mercer
So is every company that generates a network of relationships in the same market and as a result of that, a competitor? I understand that LinkedIn is moving more in the direction of a facebook, but at this point, the offerings of L and F are quite different.
- sdfx
James: you might have a point there. From what it sounded like there were other problems with the resume which got more attention because of where it was located. It's just that if you are going to take so much time to get Facebook employees' attention you might want to think it through just a little bit more. This is quite a common attitude by the way. Try pitching Coke while wearing a Pepsi pin, for instance. You'll get thrown out.
- Robert Scoble
This post got my attention as I spent quite a while trying to work out where the story (link) was. I trust someone (Scoble?) institutes a consistent and recognised convention for original FriendFeed content which will be cross-posted to Twitter.
- Conor Ogle
Christopher: it pisses me off when I see people get things wrong and don't correct them or admit they are wrong. Thanks for playing! (I admit I'm wrong all the time, there's no harm in it).
- Robert Scoble
sdfx: they might look different but they are both social networks and are competing over the same users and same advertisers.
- Robert Scoble
Conor: I'm still playing around with how to use both services for their strengths. Twitter is great because of the ability to notify people of something with only 140 characters of text. Friendfeed is great because you can post video, photos, maps, etc and write longer posts, which is why I did this here. Also, everyone who participates gets run underneath the original item, as you can see here, which makes participating a lot more fun, a lot more interesting, and much more valuable over time.
- Robert Scoble
Wait now, did this person actually get an interview with facebook? OR use facebook to pimp his linkedin resume, which according to Robert had "other problems", or apply for a facebook job with his linkedin resume? Which is it? You know, back to the original point of "where is the link" to a news article covering this fluff piece so we don't have to rely on consistent updates on the situation from Robert.
- Christopher Mercer
Interesting how some Twitterers don't want to come here and leave a message here. That means that their Tweet will probably never be heard. Like @PaulWalls Tweet here: http://twitter.com/PaulWal... "You fit all of the qualifications, but... oh, I see you haven't sworn allegiance to our company "prior" to being hired."
- Robert Scoble
Christopher: he advertised on Facebook employees pages, is what I was told, looking for a job at Facebook (getting a job at Facebook right now is VERY sought after because Facebook is seeing HUGE growth and is headed toward an IPO). He was all about getting a job at Facebook, but put his resume over on LinkedIn, which soured many people on the deal and got them to look more critically at his resume than they otherwise might have.
- Robert Scoble
have you noticed a lot more use twitter though? i see more "celebs", and i mean proper celebs using twitter but not many clueing onto this just yet..
- Terry O'Fee
Anyone who thinks that twitter & linkedin are competitors to facebook simply doesn't understand the market. The three clearly provide different services. Besides, many users have integrated these services such that each service's strengths provied, together, a service that none could provide alone.
- adam naranjo
competitors and none of them offer paid services yet. i find that even funnier. but i dont know much about linkedin, but most of the people who i know who use it, do so in a more business, worklike, professional manner.
- Terry O'Fee
I agree with Spidra. LinkedIn *is* a professional network, Facebook doesn't know which it wants to be, snowball fight or professional network. Never seen a Facebook profile set up to be a resume and not sure I'd want to.
- Ernie Oporto
from Nambu
of course, this is assuming a highlander scenario - there can be only one! - when it comes to competition in the social networking scene. The guy did make a schoolboy mistake in not placing his CV onto facebook when he was seeking their employment.
- alphaxion
Moral of the story: Facebook is not a place you want to work at if they want their employees give up everything else. Mind you, it totally fits their "walled garden" image. UPDATE: Yes, I meant Facebook :D
- Roland Hesz
That's ridiculous, someone from Facebook HR called me after seeing my Linkedin profile about a month ago. You think they can afford to ignore talent regardless of how they find it? No way!
- Jason Wehmhoener
"Competitors" are so last decade. Focus on the user, all else will follow.
- EricaJoy
IMHO Facebook and LinkedIn are competitors in the same way that a bicycle and a Boeing 757 are competitors. Yes, you can use them both to get to the same place, but their domains overlap in the smallest degree. Facebook might want to attract business users, but they're not doing anything to support that or make it easier. For example, on LinkedIn I can search for people with a specific skill; on Facebook, I can't view their information unless I've "friended" them first. Not much use for recruiting.
- Mistletoe Glen
Does Facebook have a idea what their platform is? Google is selling ad's. Microsoft is selling software. What is Facebooks main goal?
- Uncle CW™
@Just CW selling user's trends and profiles?:(
- Simone Lovati
When I think of my professional information I do not think of Facebook. Why would I want potential employeers looking at my Facebook profile where people post stupid crap pictures that have nothing to do with their professions.
- Uncle CW™
Facebook doesn't have a reputable hub to host resumes and professional info yet (Notes is not the answer). Many employers block facebook (but not LinkedIn) so therefore, Facebook is being short sighted in their search process. -1 Facebook.
- Amani
@amani - Agreed. This is shooting the messenger. If he used LinkedIn to host stuff, maybe Facebook should be looking at their own feature set. Maybe they should hire him because he sees the feature gap.
- You.
I understand the Facebook's point of view.It's usually wise to mix social medias. But for instance, it's not so difficult to put a resume on Facebook.
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
That's a dumb statement, Robert. In other words, if you forward what you say here to Twitter, we shouldn't take you seriously? Even if FriendFeed is better for these kinds of discussions and Twitter is better for mass marketing? LinkedIN is better at CVs than Facebook, they are not competing on that particular feature. I do agree that he could've found a creative, more inbred solution to the problem, but the guy wants a job for god's sake.
- Vincent van Wylick
Vincent: sorry, I sort of see Facebook's point of view. Find a way to do it on Facebook. Don't take my customers off somewhere else.
- Robert Scoble
How do Facebook and LinkedIn compete exactly? The former is for social-social networking and the latter is professional/business social networking. They have completely different feature sets, use cases, and markets. It's like saying that Quicken competes with Adobe Photoshop because they're both desktop software packages - it just doesn't make sense.
- Eric P
@Eric P: There is a large overlap. Many folks are removing the walls between professional and social. I had a few beers on Friday with someone who is hiring me to do a photoshoot. Is my relationship with that person social or professional? I'd say the answer is yes.
- Aaron B. Hockley
There's no law of the universe stating that you can only have a profile or one or that you can't friend someone on both - that still doesn't mean they're competing. I wouldn't send someone my resume through Facebook and I wouldn't post pictures of myself drunk on Linkedin. As long as both focus on their core audience and purpose, they're not competing in any real sense.
- Eric P
Several commenters seem to be confused about the nature of Facebook's targeted advertising and how it relates to this story. ██The protagonist of this story bought and ad on Facebook that would only be presented to other FB users whose profiles stated that they were current FB employees.██ This is an effective and relatively low-cost method of directly targeting the folks at a company you want to work for. Given that this ad is only viewed by FB employees it makes sense to put a tailored *copy*..
- Daniel J. Pritchett
of his resume on FB to be linked to from this ad. There's no reason he can't maintain a more mainstream LinkedIn resume to use everywhere else. This guy was 90% of the way there with a creative marketing strategy using FB's tools, but he slipped and fell by using LinkedIn for his ad. That said, I agree with the poster who said that FB shouldn't hold it against him but should take it as a lesson that they are lacking in the professional space.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Here is a great article on some graduating college seniors who used Facebook to target their preferred employers prior to graduation: http://www.onedayonejob.com/blog... None of them got jobs this way but it was still very affordable and an interesting experiment.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
If Facebook thinks they are actually a competitor to LinkedIn's core value proposition they need to actually address that use case directly.
- Sam Pullara
Great point Daniel. It is good to understand more of the story with some additional context.
- Amani
I imagine Facebook already has too many people to justify cost versus revenues. Before you know it Facebook becomes yet another corporation (there goes the magic)
- Alexander van Elsas
FB has said they will not be entering into professional networking. Mark Z said @ f8 ..that area can be satisfied through apps. Interesting disc. above, especially "removing the walls between professional and social". Not one for self marketing, but we are currently testing a professional network app on FB to launch in 2-3 days that allows users to network professionally just like you can on LI, while still keeping your social profile separate. Imagine an extra tab on FB called "Work" or "Resume"

Caro Englaro, fino a ieri mi chiedevo perché non mostrasse una foto, anche una sola foto di sua figlia come è oggi. Sono sicura che la gente capirebbe meglio. A costo di perdere in credibilità, lei evita di rendere pubblica un'immagine dolorosa e infelice di sua figlia. Lei avrebbe potuto mostrare quel corpo, e non l'ha fatto. Avrebbe potuto...
confermo, del resto è intuibile che piu sono gli strumenti di comunicazione disponibili, meno quelli piu vecchi vengono utilizzati.. social network, wiki ecc, è chiaro che le e-mail vengono meno utilizzate

"This emphasis on followers will leave you unsatisfied. Why? You can’t control it. So, worry about what you CAN control: who you follow. Follow better people. Get better inputs! If you do that the followers will come and, guess what? They’ll be better followers too because you put the emphasis on what really matters. Who cares who is following you anyway? It only matters if they think you’re smart. Oh, and Kevin missed a few ways to get followers: 1. Survive a plane crash and Tweet it. 2. Get arrested and tweet from jail. 3. Have sex with someone famous and tweet that. 4. Start a famous company. Profitability not required. 5. Have Leo Laporte mention you on his show (worked for my son). 6. Have Mike Arrington tell you you’re addicted (worked for me). 7. Unfollow all your followers. Follow them back. Block them. Then unfollow them. (Worked for Loren Feldman). 8. Get into a movie. 9. Direct a movie. 10. Take pictures with MC Hammer at a TechCrunch party. Hope that helps."
- Robert Scoble
Robert - weren't you just talking about losing followers a couple of weeks ago? How did you know you lost them if you weren't paying attention to your follower count? ;)
- Andru Edwards
Andru: because Twitter puts them in my face everytime I log in. It's hard to avoid knowing them.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble, somehow I find you more reactive here than on twitter.
- Richard A.

- Robert Miller
I have no clue how many followers I have, or when that number increases or decreases - but I rarely log in to Twitter I guess, since I use Twitter apps mostly.
- Andru Edwards
Richard: being two-way is a TON easier and nicer here. It pisses people off when you Tweet too much over on Twitter. Oh, and Andru, even if I didn't look at my home page often people remind me every day or two how many followers I have.
- Robert Scoble
Ah I see...people are reminding you constantly...that makes sense ;)
- Andru Edwards
Andru: that and I'm an egotistical baaaahhhhhhsssstttttaaaaarrrrddddd. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Well, and now the truth comes out. LOL LOL LOL
- Robert Miller
I don't want more followers, I want the right followers - people who will talk to me, argue with me, and fire up my mind. So I try to look for these and follow them. That is a lot harder to crack - twitter search does not have a "find stimulating people" option
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I agree with Joelle. Sure would be nice to have that search option.
- Robert Miller
That's why I like people making "lists of people I'm glad to follow" or retweeting smart contributions, because it helps me find people. There's the same issue in FF, although comments really help. PS: I am still chuckling at robert's list though, good fun at the quirky/murky side of human nature

Is he trying to kill Digg now? The "Retweet" is a much more successful version of what Digg is trying to do. If anything kills Digg it will be Twitter.
- Jesse Stay
Yep- these "Grow your following fast" schemes resemble the :get reach fast"ones too much for my liking :-)
- Antonio Altamirano
Completely agree, Stay. Something about the PubSub model has allowed them to become more of a social network than Digg (maybe b/c the semi-personal nature of Tweets) and new can travel fast through the Twittersphere. That is just one of its uses, yet it is SO simple. They deserve more respect for the power of their simple service.

fanno bene a tagliare i rami secchi :-) non usavo nessuno dei servizi citati ed evidentemente ero in buona compagnia ;-)
- Luca Conti
su jaiku mi scoccia che l'acquisizione è coincisa con la morte del servizio. su google notebook invece mi incazzo, perché era comodo, forse sconosciuto ai più ma comodo
- Cristian Conti
Concordo con cristian: google notebook e la sua estensione per firefox sono molto comodi... Ma mi sembra che quello lo estendano, non lo chiuderanno...
- Sara Maternini
anche io usavo GN, ma un http://www.instapaper.com/ e un vecchio e sano delicious sopperiranno alla mancanza. Jaiku, mai usato... cmq io sono d'accordo con il focus. se non stanno attenti, a google fanno la fine di MS, troppi servizi da gestire, troppa complessità...
- gluca - [mini]marketing
se di jaiku un po' mi spiace, anche se non lo usavo mai (aperto l'account solo quando Google l'ha comprato), di Google Notebook mi spiace, perchè appuntavo molto lì, sopratutto lunghe bozze di post.
- Fabrizio Sinopoli
sono entrambi due servizi sacrificabili, suvvia
- Davide Tarasconi
appresa la notizia penso che gnotebook fosse inutile, e assolutamente integrabile con google docs. jaiku dispiace, ma non avevano fatto la stessa cosa con un altro servizio simile? non è che li stanno uccidendo per poi comprare twitter?
- Miketrevis
Miketrevis, dopo l'esperienza di Jaiku e visto il periodo di recessione, dubito fortemente che Google, e chiunque altro, investirà denaro in un buco nero come Twitter.
- Davide Tarasconi
nooo, perchè fanno fuori GNotebook? Insieme all'estensione per firefox è una delle app che uso più spesso! Ma non ho capito se, nonostante lo stop allo sviluppo, il servizio resta vivo comunque o devo prepararmi ad un backup!?
- Googlisti
Jaiku non è morto, rilasceranno tutto il code con una licenza open source, che è la scelta più logica e proficua direi
- Stefano Mainardi
si' rumoreggia che Google Reader potrebbe essere il prossimo.
- Giulio Ardoino
Giulio, rumour smentiti via twitter dal responsabile del servizio (e poi è un rumour primo di senso, diciamolo!)
- Luca Conti
Googlisti, sembra rimanga attivo per chi lo usa già
- Luca Conti
Stefano, il fondatore di Jaiku se ne è andato da mesi e le velleità di concorrenza a Twitter sono sepolte ormai. Se non è morto, diciamo che è in coma profondo
- Luca Conti
Morto come servizio clone di twitter, rilasciando il codice gli sviluppi sono infiniti
- Stefano Mainardi
Luca: vero. Chiudere greader sarebbe privo di senso. Ma anche greader è un prodotto che non monetizza.
- Giulio Ardoino
greader non monetizza apparentemente, ma fa parte del core tecnologico di Google, secondo molti commenti annessi alle conversazioni di cui sopra. Poi monetizza se ci pensi bene... con gli adsense messi dagli editori che appaiono dentro il feed ;-)
- Luca Conti
mi prendete in giro se vi dico che ho scoperto ora dell'esistenza di google notebook?
- Lawrence Oluyede
dite sia il caso di fare il Netcrologio anche di questi servizi? in realtà non dovrebbero smettere di andare...

what i love most is that all your @replies in twitter remain private unless you specify you want a particular one public on your lifestream page.
- Zee.
I checked out your page, but I don't see why they call it "Awesome"
- David Cook
Well, I do like that you can customize it for your personal page.
- Yolanda
@David - i actually called it awesome. I don't know of another service apart from sweet cron where you can set up a page customize it and have people comment. There's also a section where you add your own stuff manually like messages, blog posts, audio & pictures...give it a try, you'll see what i mean. The closest thing I know to it is swurl.
- Zee.
they're hidden by default on the public page (the page that everyone else sees). View your page on a different browser or just signout and look at your page
- Zee.
@Zee - I deduced that the public view restricts the @replies after I logged in and out a couple times to check things. Thanks for updating me! Did it take long for your work to populate the stream? My stream only shows posts from May '08 to now.
- JA Castillo
I don't really need a new lifestream, I only need FF. :) It's enough for me, it has embed all ready... I use embed more likely then a new site
- Kristian Salonen
i know what ur saying Kristian - but until friendfeed allows anyone to comment (like a normal blog) and also allows you to (optionally) hide tweets with @replies...this is brilliant for me
- Zee.
This is interesting. It's about page says that Storytlr is not a startup, merely a fun project that they are building during their free time. I just signed up. The commenting system in storytlr is really neat.
- Jonathan Kong
After having a look to the website I think it's a nice website and another choice between the life streaming services. More or less they are all pretty similar, I don't know about Swurl though. The only different service amongst all these services in my opinion, is rettagr http://www.retaggr.com/ It doesn't have the streaming side of all these services, but it makes a terrific job at being a one stop place where all the services you use are listed. It's an online card and makes some "streaming" of them
- Cibeles
I quite like it: http://nathanchase.storytlr.com - it just makes me wonder what i should be using for http://nathanchase.com - should my namesake domain be a lifestream, a blog? should I post content there instead of FriendFeed, and just import it here? Decisions, decisions...
