I predict Jason Calacanis will be here soon to have a contest for FriendFeed followers. - Robert Scoble
He's on here and is one of the recommended initial follows. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
heh. I'd be happy to make it to 50 - Alan Simpson
You're like those Swatch-watches back in the 80's...EVERYone had to have one. - Josh Haley
I'm happy if I have toys to play with, I love Social Media and the cool information that's floating round. I just enjoy sharing with people. I did discuss yesterday - with a friend I'm working on a stealth project with - that I really want people I know to subscribe more than I care about the anonymous masses subscribing. My father and a couple of my best friends read my blog, and they are the people I write it for. Now if I could just get them to follow my Twitter or FriendFeed... :) - Daniel W. Crompton

“What are some songs that you used to really like, that now, you can't stand?”
yesterday at 1:19 am - Link
For me, that would be anything from Crystal Waters. At one time, Gypsy Woman and 100% Pure Love were high on the list. I just deleted them from iTunes after years of skipping them. - Louis Gray
Also include: Anything by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. One time, they were seriously alternative. Now, I just skip or change the station. - Louis Gray
Achey Breaky Heart. Cotton-eyed Joe by Rednex. All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth (ok I was 8 when I last liked that one) - Phil Glockner
Sliding but not completely fired: Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead. (And yes, I know these are bands and not songs) - Louis Gray
Man, I love all the songs and artists you guys mentioned. Maybe I'm still stuck in the 90s? - Jesse Stay
Yeah, RHCP seem to be rubbish these days. - Richard Bradshaw
Anything by Lamb. I wore out the first two albums and just can't stand to listen any more. - Kevin D. White
I wear my sunglasses at night, most things by Peter Gabriel. Too much play, get bored with it. - dan
Being part of the party scene here, take any new club song release, give me 3 months and I'm sick of it. - Mark Martinez
Louis, I hate you. I now have that as an earworm... la-da-dee-da-da-da, la-da-dee-da-da. ARG! - Cyndy
Most stuff by Sting - Tad, Fool
i used to love Rhianna's Umbrella song - now its turned off as soon as it starts - Stephanie Pickett
any thing by or with Kanye West... Yes he's talented but every time he issues a statement or does an interview I want to slap the taste out of is mouth. Along that line of thinking you can throw "The Puff Daddy" (or what ever the kids are calling him now) to my needs to be slapped up list... - J. Abdul-Qahhar
The eighties. All of it. - Slippy Lane
Almost everything I played when I was on the air. You think YOU'RE tired of the stuff you hear on the radio. After the 50,000th play of "Heartache Tonight," the violent thoughts begin. - Chris Baskind
No such thing! I can go the other direction, but once it's liked, it's liked forever. - Josh Haley
Most songs off the classic greatest hits albums (you know the ones I'm talking about) by the Eagles, Steve Miller, The Doors and Eric Clapton. - Jon Price
I will love Depeche Mode until the day that I die, but if I hear "Enjoy the Scilence" one more time.... - Helen Sventitsky
Finally got rid of the earworm, and thought of one. Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" - Cyndy
Louis, usually every sony I like :) I have a bad habit of looping... Like, playing the song 100 - 200 times ...again and again ... eventually the magic wears off and I start hating the song :))) - Alemsah
I'm theorising that great music from 1976 and before has remained great, whilst anything that has been labelled as great since the end of 1976 has, in fact dated. The further we get from 1976, the quicker new so-called great tracks age and cause us annoyance. ;-) - Slippy Lane
Roxanne's Revenge - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
I have to agree that RHCP are pretty crap now. - Mark Wilson
Bryan Adams - "I can't stop loving you" - Bindu Reddy
Survivor - "Eye of the Tiger" :-) - Majento
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You up - Jesse Stay via twhirl

"Alex Henderson (Aka Bittercoder) has written a pretty good OAuth library in .NET for implementing an OAuth consumer and service provider. The library is available here under a MIT license (do wherever you want with it), and it is very easy to use. Alex has definitively made a very good work. My WCF channel implementation for OAuth mounts on top of his library and it basically transforms a OAuth token into a .NET security principal that can be used later within the service implementation. The channel is implemented as a RequestInterceptor, one of new features introduced in the REST WCF Starter Kit. This interceptor basically captures the request at channel level and performs all the validations required by OAuth" - Chris Messina via Mento

Small world, my best friend lives off of Kelley. - Katie
Katie: my favorite restaurant, Tres Amigos, is on Kelley. - Robert Scoble
Yes yes...good stuff! We walk there when I visit! - Katie
I used to live right by Tres Amigos. Loved that place. Who needed to cook? - todd
Exactly. I think we eat there at least twice when I visit and I visit once a year at least. And we spend at least every morning at the Coffee Company not as much for the food as much for the meeting spot. - Katie
Katie and todd: makes me think we should do a FriendFeed meetup there soon! - Robert Scoble

“You never hear about Microsoft Dynamics on Twitter or FriendFeed, but when I was in China last week I was watching an entire supply chain switch to it.”
49 minutes ago - Link
They picked it because all their developers are .NET ones (PCH in Shenzhen). Big buck deal for Microsoft. - Robert Scoble
Now is that saying something about Twitter/FriendFeed or about Microsoft Dynamics? =) - RAD Moose
RAD: talking about enterprise software isn't as interesting as cat photos. - Robert Scoble
That's not completely true, lolcatz about enterprise software are fun too :) - Daniel W. Crompton
We are going to start using MS Dynamics for our Help Desk system (Nelnet, Inc. NNI) - Susan Beebe
As a former admin/developer, there really isn't much exciting to talk about - Wayne Arthurton
I kind of wish we'd look into it for our help desk. I hate Remedy (it needs a remedy), and we've already got our heads so far stuck into Outlook, Exchange and SharePoint that it might make sense. I'm no expert on these things, though, so I could be totally wrong. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

"Apple officially discontinued its 23-inch Cinema Display on Tuesday, making way for recently announced 24-inch LED Cinema." - Chris Messina via Mento
To me, this feels like what would happen if suddenly kool-aid needed 9 cups of water instead of 8; it doesn't really make much difference overall; but it lets the company tout their "newest innovation". Faux innovation if you will ;-) - Robin Monks
And they even removed the Firewire hub built-in to the 23" model... then again, everyone's going to USB so I guess that makes sense. - Chris Messina

I don't think the larger LCD really drives me either way, it's kind of nice, but they're never high enough resolution to tell if the picture is grainy or blurry. I will always be happy to spend money on a better lens though. Also the 870 has a timelapse mode which could come in handy. The only drawback of the 870 that I can see is that it's almost 2x the cost of the 1100. So if you don't mind paying more, get the 870. - matthew john ernisse
It's not quite 2x. Amazon has the 870 for $220 and the 1100 for $160. - Benjamin Golub
Also, timelapse mode sounds like a lot of fun. - Benjamin Golub
Well the closer price totally makes me lean more towards the 870. - matthew john ernisse

tap tap tap ~ How to prevent the App Store from becoming the Crap Store
26 minutes ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"we’re getting to the point where the App Store is in jeopardy of getting destroyed because it’s being overrun with 99¢ shovelware, with an ever growing number of developers competing for a slot in the charts." - Robert Scoble via Bookmarklet
I'd personally like to see developer fees to keep the crap away - Adam
