His conclusion doesn't really speak to his premise. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
There is a lack of direct connection, isn't there? I had hoped for more meat in the article, but at least was intrigued by some of the thinking, particularly that space-time is a mental construct and not part of "fundamental reality" (whatever fundamental reality means when consciousness is its determinant). - Bruce Keener

Having lunch with the JS-Kit guys. Echo really rocks. Publishers are going to love it.
Any update on when it will become more widely available???? - Stephen Tomasello
Is JS-Kit using Echo on its blog? Not much activity in the comments... - Brent Logan
A warm Bonjour for Chris on my behalf, please! :) - directeur
It's really slick, zoomy technology. But will *readers* like it? (And hello to the JS-Kit gang: Good luck with Echo!) - Chris Baskind
Stephen: really soon. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Chris: that is the big question, isn't it? - Robert Scoble from iPhone
There's a smart friendfeeder I want to introduce to him (Chris, me and that guy share the same love for personal relevancy) - directeur
does this mean you will drop Disqus? - Nick Halstead
Is there any way Js-kit and disqus can work together, there are some features I enjoy in disqus, does echo subsume all of them? - Mark Essel from iPhone
Have you given up on your blog? I expected the link to take me to an article where you actually said something. Your constant linking to ff and little else is becoming annoying. Produce something of value or lose another follower and subscriber. Would have expected the link to tell what the hell Echo is and what JS-kit does and why a blogger should care. You waste my time with this crap. - Bruce Keener
Just a follow-up on my last comment, Robert. You have so much talent, yet I feel like you are wasting it here. That's why I'm upset. Oh, I'm upset that I've wasted my time coming to find an article on Echo that didn't exist. But I am more upset that your talent is going down the drain, and you seem oblivious to it. A damn shame. - Bruce Keener
I don't always "get" technology when it first arrives. Twitter being a prime example. Seeing a page of live twitter like responses though as a reader is not interesting for me. I would rather read through longer intelligent discussion. You're FriendFeed discussions are great, but the js-kit echo demo left me feeling blurry. Granted there are advantages, but am I just missing something, again? - ASKJDOG
@askjdog you may wish to check out the matrix at the bottom of http://js-kit.com/echo it contains some of our thinking, which i am sure can be expanded upon ... for a deeper dive, click on "Synaptic Web" at the end of the matrix ... it is *one* view of the evolution of the web. - khrisloux
Bruce: I was off filming an interview with them, I'm not going to write a damn blog post on my iPhone. Geesh. And anyway, I've already written about Echo before. This was just a tease for tomorrow's video. - Robert Scoble
Nick: I'm very seriously considering dropping Disqus, yes. We're definitely going with JS-Kit over on Building43.com and I'll consider it after using it a while there for my blog. - Robert Scoble
Robert, how does it compare to the Disqus Reactions? - Jesse Stay
Jesse: from what I've seen so far JS-Kit is real time, while Disqus isn't. But not sure I'm comparing the newest Disqus stuff. Is Reactions new or is it what I'm already using on my blog at http://scobleizer.com ? - Robert Scoble
Robert, the Reactions feature is what's below the comments, under "Reactions:" on your blog - Jesse Stay
I'm betting that Disqus will have an equivalent out very soon - if so, is it really worth switching just for real-time, considering you'll have real-time shortly? - Jesse Stay
Jesse: I think real time is worth switching for, but then you see how I use real time here on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
I'm betting Disqus, because they've had a chance to see the competition, will release something better. I'm just not one to switch back and forth constantly though. - Jesse Stay
Jesse: I still haven't switched my blog, but we did go with JS-Kit on Building43 because the JS-Kit folks seem to be ahead of the Disqus ones. We'll see if we switch my blog. - Robert Scoble
Thanks @khrisloux I'll read that article, and take another look at the feature matrix. - ASKJDOG
Either way both Disqus and JS-Kit are BOTH excellent systems from what I've seen, and I'm sure they will both continue to evolve. - ASKJDOG
@Robert thanks for the lunch - was too much fun catching up again - Chris Saad
Can't wait to try this but I'm going to extract my existing blog and test on an alternative platform - Joe Dawson
good to read the discussion between Jesse and Robert: I very much want to choose the best commenting platform, and not switching bak and forth.. both disqus and current js-kit(future: Echo) have their plusses and minuses. Guess some sort of final decision on my side will take another couple of months, in the mean time staying with disqus and eagerly waiting for Echo... - Jeroen De Miranda
Are either Echo or Disqus able to pull comments (not just posts) out from behind Facebook's garden wall onto one's own blog? - David Sanger
I found an example js-kit on Building43 blog to check out... - Jannifer @wordsforliving

While skeptical, I'm revisiting Tim Ferriss's principles.
Interesting. I didn't know he had any principles :) Curious what you are referring to exactly ... his book? - Bruce Keener

Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance
as long as your pushing his book, ups to coach gibbs http://gameplanforlife.com/blog... (viva redskins! ;) - chaz2b
ps: i'm not knocking coach dungys book at all, :) - chaz2b
Hi Chaz. I am not really "pushing" Dungy's book. I just added to my Amazon wish list, which apparently is fed to here (I'll have to uncheck share wish list). I am looking for a good motivational book that is not too preachy. It's hard for me to tell from the Amazon reviews whether Dungy's book really meets that criterion or not, so I added to my "think about buying" list. At any rate, thanks for the recommendation regarding Gibbs' book. - Bruce Keener

my pal pip says many of us r unhappy 'cause we have "a tendency 2 continually ratchet up expectations and devalue todays accomplishments"
I've just started reading the How of Happiness, which states that 40% of our happiness depends on us ... 10% depend on life circumstances and 50% depends on genetics. The author notes that studies have shown that Gratitude is a key to happiness (it's within the 40% that we can control). - Bruce Keener
I have to be honest with --- I wish I had learned this lesson before falling sick almost 2 years ago. I have a much calmer life now. because I managed to get rid of expecttions and this incessent desire to do something... anything. - Om Malik from email
In an environment obsessed with inventions/future we often forget to live in the moment and exercise gratitude. - Matt Weeks
Om: it is a lesson I have to relearn every day. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Gratitude is one of the most underrated activities we engage in. BTW, thank you for posting this. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

Am I alone is occasionally using "like" as a bookmark so I can use "My Discussions" to later find a post I want to read more about?
No I do the same thing :) - martha
I do it, too (and like how it works) - Bruce Keener
I do it too, and for ones I know I am going to want to refer to later I have a private group to share items to, just to bookmark them. - April Russo (app103)
I am also guilty. :( - Carlton Hackett
April, I'm liking the idea of sharing to a private group. I'll have to try that out. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

This weekend I decided to quit BOTH smoking and drinking FOREVER. Enough. I'm done. Goodbye.
Cheers. - Aron Michalski
I hope you are serious. Your body will hate you at first, then love you for the rest of your life. Stay strong my friend! - Brian
Good luck, Hugh. - Ayşe E.
Good luck, Hugh. I quit drinking many, many years ago, and am on the verge of quitting smoking. I dread the latter, but so needed. I am pulling for you. - Bruce Keener

@sayemislam The CrunchPad looks great. I think there will be room for lots of devices to win. But how many will you carry?
Doubt that I will get one, although price makes tempting. Just no need for me to use. Glad to see Arrington doing it, though. Looks like he's done a helluva good job with it. - Bruce Keener

I was disappointed that there was no way to turn off the talking ad (at least that I saw). Very annoying. Wound up reading very little of it. - Bruce Keener

@arrington When I read this http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... I thought, "Damn, I'm so proud of Mike..."
Agreed. Fine job he's done with Crunchpad. - Bruce Keener
