Like the promise of Java, they followed suit with Search once, reveal privacy everywhere. *looks over shoulder* okay, I exaggerate; a little.

I like it except for the ghost town atmosphere. What made you run?

I never really settled in, so nothing to run from.

I think I understand that feeling. I keep wanting to love it.

I know. I said the same thing yesterday. I keep trying to give it a chance, but all that happens is a bunch of people I don't know add me to their circles.

If I believed anecdotes were data and/or that my Facebook network were actually representative of anything, I'd assume that no one in health care gave a shit about Google Glass.
If Google were actually interested in the medical device market or the healthcare IT space (doubtful, given their tentative, failed foray with Google Health) they'd need to be evangelizing hard core right now. (And making alliances with GE, Medtronic, Cardinal Health, Philips, Siemens, etc.)

AR is probably inevitable in the OR and the wards, but I have serious doubts that Google will be the one to spearhead the effort.

Given how technology moves, one of your cousins in the Philippines could be the one that makes it work.

How fast Silicon Valley moves and how fast medical technology moves are most definitely not described by the same equation

As you said elsewhere, it's not a linear thing. Disruption can come from anywhere, even in the medical space.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yeah, I hear economists call those kinds of disruptions externalities. The funny thing about black swan catastrophes is that you never really see them coming.

Have you heard the one that starts 'a black swan walks into a bar' ? Neither have I.

Or even if you can see it coming, you have no idea how far off it is when you do. The crew of the Titanic saw the iceberg before they hit it, but they saw it too late to avoid it.

The best part of this past weekend...aside from finally getting to meet Eivind IRL...was seeing my best friend truly, genuinely, beautifully happy. I am so thankful that her and Eivind found each other. They're two souls that were meant to be together, and it shows in every little way.
The greatest thing ever was meeting Eivind in SF right before he went to meet Kelli and just KNOWING that he was about to fall for her madly.

Completing my first half marathon in 2 hrs 19 minutes, not fast at all and I don't care. We stopped and took lots of pics, said hi to friends and had a blast. I ran sick and with a pulled IT band, but you know what? It was still one of the very best experiences of my life. Truly.
Ah, did you remove the other one? OK, I'll say here what I said there: Great job and that time is not at all a bad time for more than THIRTEEN MILES. Congrats!
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Stephen, actually they announced on FB last night that they apologized for the 2+ hrs it took everyone to get out of the parking lot after the race AND that they had mismarked the mile markers. I actually ran 13.58 according to 400+ runners who reported their Garmin results so the race officials rechecked the route and it was nearly 13.6. So I ran an extra half mile for the hell of it. Haha. Oh well. It makes me feel a bit better about my time.

This week - working 25 hours, setting up the online fundraising auction for the Imperial Walkers and keeping up with publicity, playgroup Wednesday morning, Kitty Kinder Wednesday night, having Mum over for morning tea Saturday, Mother's Day Sunday. I think I'm slowly adjusting to having stuff on, though. I think. Slowly.
You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!
- Bret Taylor
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"?
- 0M0M

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)
- Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!
- Jim Connolly
awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :)
- Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..

"he couple had run out of milk for their son, Holden, while their neighborhood was on lockdown during Friday’s manhunt. Shortly after noon, McKenzie Wells' mother, Trish Sommers, walked down the block to take a chance at asking an officer if he could help, and he more than obliged. “It just meant the world that he literally went out and got two gallons of milk,’’ McKenzie Wells told TODAY.com. “We wanted to pay him but he wouldn’t take money from us. He was just so generous.’’

sure. my only problem is that as an Iranian-American sometimes I think there should be a difference between my birth country and the land of freedom. instead of relying on individuals' personality perhaps the system should make sure that there isn't a place for government employees to misuse/abuse their power.
