Apparently, no one is home at Twitter HQ. Seems like it's been down for at least 15-30 minutes.

"To me, taking that longshot at a venture backed liquidity event that leaves you with enough money to be rich is akin to playing the lottery. But building your own business that you control feels a lot more like the ideal of entrepreneurship that many people claim to espouse."

great pic. question for you. Do your kids like taking pictures? Mine do but they have no interest in processing the photos. When I say processing I mean they don't even care to see them on the computer. They seem satisfied just looking at them on the camera LCD.

- Jeffrey J Davis
my kids like shooting. Jack my oldest son, who's 8, also likes processing. I've been pretty impressed with some of the work that he's done. None of the other 3 have done any processing yet. They love seeing them on the LCD though. Even my youngest, 4 year old Katie loves to shoot.

This is such a beautiful study of reflections and perspectives: your daughter taking a picture (or pretending to) of something, the glass reflection of her taking a picture, and then you, taking a photo of her taking a picture. This picture is just so lovely, and perhaps a hint of things to come...

- Robert Scoble
My husband, the late adopter, would love your party, Robert... ;-)
- Victoria Plautia
Can we make out?
- Leo Laporte
I think you need another name for this kind of party. If you tell people that you are having an intimacy party, they are going to think you are a swinger or something.
- Andrew
Social Media Unplugged?
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
lol leo
- Andrew VanderVeen
Leo: if we made out we'd certainly test the system!
- Robert Scoble
I can just see the news headlines already: "The Future Is Now! Blogger extraordinaire Scoble rebrands 20th century regular 'party' as 'intimacy party'"
- Tyler Hayes
yeah, Robert, the branding on that is a little hinky. The first image I had of an "intimacy party" did not include twitter and friendfeed friends.
- Karoli
How incredibly retro of you, Robert. Will you be reviving your AOL account, as well?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
from fftogo
Karoli: yesterday I told a bunch of PR people that watching Twitter all day made me crave intimacy. They all thought I was talking about sex. I told them I wasn't talking about sexual intimacy. Watching 90,000 Twitterers makes me want to have a deep conversation about something.
- Robert Scoble
MVB: AOL never had intimacy.
- Robert Scoble
I would love to check out a party like this. I wonder if Dallas is ready for one.
- ha3rvey (business time)
from fftogo
i would be happy to attend - but how will i know where it is if we can't share the details online? carrier pigeon?
- Allen Stern
Eau contraire Robert, AOL popularized the term "a/s/l" - the ULTIMATE form of intimacy.
- Tyler Hayes
I blame Linda Stone for this. She invited me to one of her dinners. Eight people. No blogging. All hand selected. And she made sure we kept the conversation on something deep and intimate.
- Robert Scoble
LOL, I give it 20 minutes before you're all shaking, bored and call the whole thing off and run for your iPhones and Blackberry's and Netbooks! Especially after the only two 7 minute conversation bursts where no one can cite any facts without Google and everything mentioned screams fodder for a tweet or blog post or streaming video or live picture. :)
- Adam Turetzky
Tyler: I'm not talking about sexual intimacy.
- Robert Scoble
Haha true. I may (small chance) be in the city next weekend. I'll meetup if I am.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
from fftogo
Adam: I don't agree. You should have seen the geeks after TechCrunch's StarTrek showing. First of all, it kept me off of friendfeed for two hours. Second of all, we enjoyed talking about it afterward.
- Robert Scoble
Quik ?
- Eric Logan
MVB: I'll be in New York Thursday. Eric: Qik, you mean? Nope, not allowed.
- Robert Scoble
Well then Robert, I look forward to the results and my hypotheses proved wrong. :)
- Adam Turetzky
I guess Leo is serious about making this an intimacy party...
- David van Sunder
from Nambu
David: I'd make out with Leo and I'm straight. Just don't tell my wife, OK? She gets jealous.
- Robert Scoble
Like the idea. Would appreciate learning more about someone than the minute slice they reveal on socnets. Especially since I've found it increasingly difficult to raise people using that antiquated device called the "phone." At least for voice. Seems like no one wants to have a conversation unless they can pause a few minutes to Google the best bons mots. (edit: I did not Google "bons mots.")
- Sue Radd
Ironic you would friendfeed this idea. LOL
- Christopher Mercer
Christopher: friendfeed is the best place for setting these up, isn't it?
- Robert Scoble
If I was in NYC I'd be in, unfortunately I'm not.
- Andrew VanderVeen
Iim in !
- Rich White
Robert: I just found it ironic you used social media to discuss a party void of social media.
- Christopher Mercer
But all in all a good idea
- Christopher Mercer
Linda Stone's parties told me something else. We have to limit each table to four people. Any more guarantees a lack of intimacy and depth.
- Robert Scoble
so, is that just like a party...?
- David Vyorst
Yeah, sounds pretty much like a good old fashioned dinner party, David. I'm having one of those tomorrow. Everything that's old is new again I suppose...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
David: not really. I'm specifically going to invite people to sit at a specific table with three other specific people. That's what Linda Stone did and it created magic.
- Robert Scoble
Would definitely like to see how this goes. if only i were in NYC....good luck to all attending it...To the organizer(s): Please post pics of any party games u carry out...esp ones that involve drinking.
- Freddie Benjamin
Robert, that's a traditional dinner party, where everyone has assigned seating. Name cards if possible.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina: a dinner party is EXACTLY what we're talking about. Except limited to four people and assigned seating and a rule of no recording/broadcasting what happens.
- Robert Scoble
Linda Stone does this at her house in Seattle and it creates magic.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Can you post/twit/ff afterwards?
- Clifford Kennedy
Clifford: no.
- Robert Scoble
Clifford: other than in general terms. When I went to one of Linda Stone's dinners, for instance, I was sitting next to an author and a tech researcher and a politician. It's a conversation that I'll remember the rest of my life, but can't be shared.
- Robert Scoble
The fact that this is getting engagement tells me that my trend prediction has some fuel behind it.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I’m definitely intrigued.
- Clifford Kennedy
based on what you do Robert and what you and I think the rest of us are passionate about, lets hope this doesn't catch on except in the realm of some type of rich person underground fetish thing. LOL :) I'd much rather see us push for 100MB fiber for everyone and have a virtual dinner party via iChat or Skype without dropouts or latency problems and in HD. :)
- Adam Turetzky
from IM
Adam: the older I get the more I realize that the reason we have all this technology is so we can find other people we want to meet around the world. I remember in the 1980s when the Internet was first being understood that people would say "you'll never travel anymore." Oh, yeah? Why did I do 120,000 miles on United last year? High def Skype will just make you want to meet that person on the other side even more.
- Robert Scoble
Im in for that. Maybe not next Thursday. BUt isn't it like a tweet up?
- kenneth glenn
Kenneth: no. A Tweetup is chaotic and not intimate.
- Robert Scoble
It should be called an "analog party".
- dthree
Do you think it would be possible to replicate the level playing field on sees in social media? I gauge "interestingness" based on words alone. Not your job, not your status, not your level of education and not your dough.
- Sue Radd
Sue: the thing is, the more I get around the world, there is some correlation between education, status, dough, AND your words/interestingness. It's unfortunate in some cases, but true.
- Robert Scoble
Sue: on the other hand, just because you have education, status, dough, that doesn't mean you are interesting, just that out of 1,000 people it makes it more likely. I have found some interesting people without any of the three, but it's tougher, that's for sure.
- Robert Scoble
sure, you know where to find me!!
- Bryan Thatcher
...but if someone doesn't Tweet, FF, or blog it, how do we know it ever happened? <wink>

LAG: the disruption in the force! :-)
- Robert Scoble
I highly agree you don't need all three but the desire to learn and gain all those in some way is important. If you have all three, you tend to struggle outside the box. Maybe I'll unplug next Thursday in CT just to support the concept. Technology is a great tool but sometimes it's just noise and complicates things.

Intimacy party? Sounds like a good old fashion dinner party is called for. I'll cook. Who's coming to dinner? I'll feed you. Kindly bring some wine.

Arleen, it's a bit of a "drive" to your house. Raincheck? :D
- CAJ, somewhere else
+2 Jason & Arleen. Seems awkward to make up a new name for what has always been known as "a party" or "a dinner". Maybe something´s wrong with your social circles if you blog or tweet when you´re "partying" ?
- Thomas Bøhm
I agree, though 'intimacy parties' is a little risque of a name ;) But the need to find appropriate boundaries and to connect without tech is a clear need.

What (only slightly) surprises me about all Louis's excellent examples, it's something "traditional" product development knows very well. You don't issue a mandatory upgrade of a new product that removes functionality, without first testing parallel functionality to replace it, and asking your users, rather than relying on abstract statistics. What Twitter just did never results in...

- Ken Wallich
I always use FF in combination with TweetDeck and other tools to sort Twitter friends into groups I especially need or want to follow; and you can keep up with the constant flow of information from Twitter, blogs and other socnets via FriendFeed. There's more discussion here, too.
