Very meaningful, especially since "[s]eventy percent of today's Iranians were born after 1979. That means that the vast majority of the Iranian people are under 30 and were not even alive during the first Iranian revolution."

API default going to be bumped from 100!
- Dave Peck
Q&A: Will there be changes to the number of times a developer can hit the API? Answer: Limit is currently 100 per hour, and that will be bumped up.
- Andru Edwards
I asked him the Jesse Stay question: will they give developers more access to the API (more requests per IP address). He said "yes."
- Robert Scoble
Will devs be able to purchase premium levels of API usage to pass onto users of their apps?
- Iain Dodsworth
Iain: just had Broback ask that.
- Robert Scoble
interesting question Iain - what would you pay?
- michael sean wright
Will the stream API be part of the existing REST API or a separate socket connection-type implementation?

He answered: Thus far we are still a small company with limited resources so we ha've decided to focus on consumer focused monetization strategies.
- Robert Scoble
nicefishfilms - i'd pay a lot :) and could offer many new services which are currently unfeasible
- Iain Dodsworth
Iain: What would be the first feature/added service you would add if you had unlimited API calls?

Iain: Gotcha :) Figured you might answer with that but I totally understand. Love your product (and the icon change a little while back :).
- Mike Bracco
Do you think Alex can speak to other things regarding twitter other then development? Like how companies can get their brand name on Twitter vs squatters, etc..
- Dave Peck
Iain: I'm in marketing/branding and wonder how you guys think about your brand - In that you now offer Facebook support and I'm sure a bunch of other things down the line. Are you concerned that TweetDeck might be too limiting or do you believe that it's similar to the iTunes brand where everyone knows that iTunes is more than just music.
- Mike Bracco
Dave: he said that he's there to talk about the API parts of Twitter and will defer other questions to other people.
- Robert Scoble
twitscoop: I'll try, but I've already asked too many questions.

- Robert Scoble
Mike: we should move this conversation to another place

The web works best when it's decentralized and everytime we choose to centralize again nasty stuff happens (look at Feedburner, for instance, and how it slowed everyone's feeds down for a while).
- Robert Scoble
nicefishfilms: There was an interesting discussion about these services yesterday on this FF thread - http://bit.ly/iEOh2

nicefilms or Scoble: do you know of any services that give you that "split second" meaning but for twitter trends?

Pirates take 'super tanker' towards Somalia - CNN.com - http://www.cnn.com/2008...

NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) -- Pirates who hijacked a crude oil tanker off the coast of Kenya are approaching a Somali port, the U.S. Navy said Monday. The Sirius Star -- a crude "super tanker" flagged in Liberia and owned by the Saudi Arabian-based Saudi Aramco company -- was attacked on Saturday more than 450 nautical miles southeast of Mombasa, Kenya. The crew of 25, including British, Croatian, Polish, Filippino and Saudi nationals, are reported to be safe U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet Cmdr. Jane Campbell said the super tanker weighs more than 300,000 metric tons and "is more than three times the size of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier." Oil industry insiders say a tanker of this size can carry up to 2 million barrels of oil, and the ship's operator, Dubai-based Vela International Marine Ltd, says it is fully laden.

Probably the same gang of Somali pirates who captured that Ukrainian ship with 33 tanks and military weapons. Interestingly, reports have shown that pirate "mother ships" travel far out to sea and launch smaller boats to attack passing vessels, sometimes using rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).

Can he qualify for that trial? It seems to be on the East Coast but I'm not sure.

Haven't been able to find out who is running that trial directly (i.e. hospital/doctor) but they might have a more sympathetic ear than a CEO.

Right wing folks are saying that Obama can't attack Palin on the experience issue either but they don't get that he doesn't have to.

They're both women but they're as different as possible in every other way. What...

In an Iranian Image, a Missile Too Many - The Lede - Breaking News - New York Times Blog - http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008...

For its part, Agence France-Presse retracted its four-missile version this morning, saying that the image was “apparently digitally altered” by Iranian state media. The fourth missile “has apparently been added in digital retouch to cover a grounded missile that may have failed during the test,” the agency said. Later, it published an article quoting several experts. Throughout the day, several news sites have taken steps to disown the photograph that they ran on Wednesday, including LATimes.com and MSNBC.com.

I find the enthusiasm of media funny. Media should better direct our country's foreign policy than scoring some brownie points on photoshop disasters. How does it matter if one missile failed. What matters is what we are going to do to stop missile proliferation without using our own missile. Scoring such brownie points are kid's play and not media's.

The Iranians should be writing Photoshop tutorials instead of trying to mimic their missle supply!

Good that AFP caught it. I've been documenting "fauxtography" in the media: theory.isthereason.com/?p=1164

If the photo would have come the Pentagon instead of Iran's Revolutionary Guard the AP would have checked it out.

@RobertHafer, the AFP ran the unedited, doctored satellite photos prior to the war in Iraq.

5 to 1 they used a pirated copy...they need to download a few Photoshop Podcasts for some tips on cloning...better yet, download "You Suck at Photoshop"...
- Live4Emma (L4S)
That is incredibly disturbing; the Photoshop clone tool will prolly be the cause of the button press on the next significant US-involved conflict.

Photography can be a powerful tool and terribly politically influential. I watched a photography documentary recently that cited the famous photo of a buddhist monk lighting himself on fire as the tipping point on the Vietnam involvement with President Kennedy.

My Dad told me that it was when Cronkite declared the war "unwinnable" after the Tet Offensive that America changed their tune on the war...

seems the bbc hasnt noticed. now they are showing footage of the missile launch that matches the AP photo and then also different newspaper front pages which published the photos, some using the AFP and others AP, but no mention of this. interesting.

Great screencast-- I hadn't used hides before. I have mixed feelings on the UI, especially the number of options for "friend-of-friends." I also think pushing hidden items to the bottom might not be discoverable enough. But whatever - awesome.

Hope Ross spends his whole internship making videos (Dan, too) to explain how to use all FF features. This is especially helpful for mainstreamers like me who pose as early adopters.

"It comes down to preferences. What would users want to see in a Web service? If it's short updates chronicling the day's minutiae, Twitter does just fine for that. If it's a conversation-enabling platform for all your Web activities, FriendFeed is what you're looking for instead. Try as we early adopters might, declaring one the winner 5 meters into a 100 meter dash doesn't make sense. Neither service needs the other to survive, but they certainly can be complimentary. And the truth is, nobody has to choose, and nobody has one right answer. Those who love Twitter and haven't moved to FriendFeed might not ever will. It's their loss, but it's also their choice."
