I haven't tried this yet, but bet your bottom dollars, many of the pix that are laying around the house will be an inkubook before March Madness. - Bryan R. Adams

Hey Robert broke twitter ... no wait, it's just twitter's way of saying, "Welcome Home"~!! - Susan Beebe
What's Alex done to Twitter? Alex? Robert is saying you broke twitter..... - WorldofHiglet
I really don't think it's your fault..... this time. :) - JCLeftie
Awesome blog title -> "Twitter went down as soon as Robert Scoble landed in SF" - AJ Batac
Yeah. Nice work Scoble ;) I bet you brought some Chinese twitter virus back home - Dennis Bjørn Petersen via twhirl
And, being that you're Scoble, you're still able to Tweet about it. - DocileWalnut
Another Blame Scoble meme? - Roberto Bonini
It went down right as I ran my auto-follow script for SocialToo - it's probably my fault ;-) - Jesse Stay
Googel reader having problems as well... you must not have read all your feeds and now they have an out of memory error - Ian D. Nock via twhirl

“I invested a lot of time this year in FriendFeed and Twitter instead of my blog. Was that the right decision?”
38 minutes ago - Link
I think so. - Robert Scoble
Half of it was right. And I'm not posting this from Twitter. ;) - Chris White
Time will tell, but I think it was correct decision. - imran
It's made you one of my favorite bloggers, if that makes you feel any better about it. If you weren't heavy on the social exploration I probably wouldn't read. - Daniel J. Pritchett
what outcome were you going for? - zach
From my perspective, yes. It's a much more interactive and broader experience for all. - Kevin C. Tofel
The right decision from which perspective, Robert? Did you increase "eyeballs?" Revenue? Both? Other? - Mark VandenBerg
I like FriendFeed and Twitter, but don't see how they compare to developing thoughtful, deeper blog posts. Really, I think FF and Twitter have their place, and I love them as well, but that place is certainly not a replacement to blogging. - Michael Krigsman
I think yes. Most folks can read twitter 100% of the time -- blogs are scanned. You tend to link to good stuff from twitter and have good headlines. - Ted Simpson
No question about that. In the past, websites were static compared to blogs. Now blogs are static compared to microblogging services. - Berci Mesko
I think only you can be the judge of that. We're all beginning to look at blogs as sort of the core of our outreach, so I'm not sure investing time in microblogging elsewhere is an either/or question. You are you. Your blog and social media network are simply extensions. If you're happy with your business model and continuing to grow, what's the problem? :-) - Chris Baskind
Mark: Revenue? Didn't change much. Eyeballs? Well, I have almost 21,000 followers here that I didn't have at the beginning of the year. Zach: I just saw that FriendFeed was going to be one of the most interesting new services of the year. Seeing how it was on the screen at the Chinese BloggerCon I think I picked the right services. - Robert Scoble
I consider FF as blogging in many ways and more interesting than a blog. - imran
You certainly moved the ball forward for the two companies. And if you think they're a vital part of the "internet plumbing", you absolutely made the right decision in helping to secure their futures. - Christopher Galtenberg
I've shut down my blog for the time being. Not getting the interaction out of it, the way I'm getting out of experiences on FF and Twitter. I think if you want more conversation online, the blogs (for now) would not be the way to go. - Helen Sventitsky
are the 21K followers different from people who followed your blog already? if so that is in increase. if not then the eyeballs are moving from your blog to friend feed. - Jonathan Jesse
Just wondering. Thanks, Robert. - Mark VandenBerg
My twitter lives alongside my blog in the sidebar, and I keep track of all my tweets by feeding it into a lifestream stored on my server. i think that's the key, as the two platforms, microblogging and blogging, work nicely together. - C. K. Sample III
@Michael great thoughts on blogs allowing for deeper thought development. that greater development, might lead to more meaningful discussion on FF then what may occur in the comment section - Jonathan Jesse
Also, check out Twitemperature if you like Twitter. Tells you whether you're hot or cold based upon what you've tweeted and how it ties into online trends and community: http://twitemperature.com - C. K. Sample III
It's a good question -- I've been thinking (and writing a bit) about the question of a blogging / microblogging balance. My working theory: that going forward the most successful bloggers will be strong microbloggers, and vice versa. - Eric Berlin
Robert, then I have a wunderbar über wonderful idea for you! You know, you can trust me :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
YES YES YES YES YES YES! - Susan Beebe
There are plenty of people up at blog-level covering "the scene". You're on the ground with people as they're trying things, talking about what's missing, what they need, what they like and don't. I think this is a good place for a tech-head to be. But blog posts to send signals up and out to the other tech-heads, reviewing your time embedded with the troops, will still be vital for growth of the net. - Christopher Galtenberg
No =) The audience for the standard blog delivery system is different than a hyper-conversation micro-blogging system. While these services are great with interactivity, they do not generate useful long term content in most cases due to short posts (usually under 120 characters) and basically being a link farm rather than useful content. The initial "posts" are not as in-depth as a typical blog post, and the comments are often "me too" type of responses as well. Balance your tweets vs. your blog posts =) - RAD Moose
I found I moved too much of my activity to Twitter and FriendFeed - I have tried to return to more blog postings, since I do have a community of readers that is only there. - Richard Akerman
Hard to say. Who are you, again? :) - Matt Tuley
Yes, I've heard little about your blog posts, but I've heard plenty about you being very open & active on social sites. That kind of interaction with your audience is a refreshing change and I'm sure it helps your reach (though I'm sure that's not what you meant). - Cains
Honestly? You put you in front of me. I would not have gotten to the blog as often, as I've seen you here. Just too much to read. - Ed Shaz/NextInstinct
I personally miss the longer/thought out posts that used to appear on your blog. While I don't think that using FF/Twitter has been a bad thing, and I know that you don't have time for *everything*, your more "editorial" and reporting style of blogging is missed. - drew olanoff
Cross posting of comments between blogs and friendfeed would be an interesting development. - Andrew Leyden
Jonathan: I think I've gained a good percentage of new people who found me here on FriendFeed. That's why I have more followers here than, say, Michael Arrington does or Leo Laporte do (and they should have WAY more, because of the size of their audiences). - Robert Scoble
I ask myself the same question often regarding whether I should spend so much time on social media sites instead of just writing content on my blogs. What I don't think I realized is that I'm still creating valuable content at all of my outposts that are still ultimately leading to my blogging hub. I think its been well worth it. - Mark Krynsky
@Andrew WordPress has a nice plugin to link to FriendFeed activity. Unfortunately for my platform (TypePad) I don't know of an equivalent. - Richard Akerman
ppl will follow you anywhere on web i think, but this is the best place to folllow you. - imran
I find FriendFeed to be more engaging, but it would be nice to gauge the amount of traffic a post on FF gets. - Spencer
the #friendfeed, #twitter, #socialmedian instantaneous replies, directs, and comments distributed throughout feed aggregation access points establishes a better communication channel for your voice - shayne catrett
depends. did you sacrifice blog content & share it on FF/Twitter? - I stopped blogging about useless junk since I can simply throw that stuff up on FF or Twitter now. Less frequent are my blog posts, but more quality, at least I think - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
@Richard if you can migrate to Six Apart's Movable Type 4, they have a widget for FF -- in fact, I'm going to be trying to get it running on my blog tonight - Woodrow Jarvis Hill
Here's how you get your answer: (1) Go get some sleep. You just got back from China! (2) Wake up and look at the likes/comments on this item. (3) Compare those numbers against responses to your best blog post this year. - Bruce Lewis via fftogo
It depends what you're after. Knowing you, it was the right decision - twitter and friendfeed are like a quickfire conversation, here there, lots of input, changing topics all the time. Blogs are the considered discussion...or lecture. Different methods of communication, you choose which one you prefer. - Rachel Clarke

"Yesterday, Fi (Fantasy Interactive) sent out alpha invitations to their new product, Kontain. This is one product I’ve signed up and (not very) patiently waited for its launch, as it should be pretty revolutionary in terms of user-friendliness. Basically, it’s the first Flash-based blogging platform open to world wide free public access." - Alex Cristache
Who needs a Flash-based blogging platform? It's inaccessible. Each page weighs at least 400Kbytes. Maybe someone would use Flash-based blogging tools, but the reader also needs Flash to view even your text and image content. I don't get it. Isn't this why we have standards like JavaScript? - Benjamin Doherty
Benjamin, the Flash Player is installed on the majority of computers these days. That's not the real problem. Also, no matter how much we complain about it, the dial-up era is gone. 400Kb per page? We should analyze standard blogging platforms and see much their pages weight, with tons of widgets & slow loading gadgets using external APIs. This is a great product for those that find "drag and drop" type of actions easier. It would be a whole lot easier to explain Kontain to my father rather than WP. - Alex Cristache

“I've finally sent the Vista sidebar to where it belongs - the recycle bin. However there are a couple of gadgets that I used that I would like to see if I can find desktop apps to replace them with. The are the following (since I have a word limit here)”
Sunday at 8:56 pm - Link
1- a multi world clock desktop app that looks good and is easy on resources added bonus for one with alarm clock options for each displayed clock - Steven Hodson
2 - a Calendar that lets me keep notes for things that happened on a specific day(s) - Steven Hodson
3 - system resources meter system that is easy to set up and looks good - Steven Hodson
more to come as I think of them :) LOL - Steven Hodson
I hate vista sidebar. I have vista ultimate and had the sidebar off since day one. That being said, I love Vista overall, but then again I have 4mb of ram to play with on my Vaio. - James Campbell
I've tried most of these things in XP/Linux at some point, and after running them for a while ended up getting rid of them, as they were simply resource draining. I use a private wordpress.com blog to keep notes of things I've done (that I don't want to tell the world about), and I use RTM to remind me what I need to do, have that interfaced nicely into Gmail, which I use as my POP3 client. - Ian May
amazed that the gadget community really hasnt taken off like dashboard widgets did for osx - Jamie

no no, web apps are definitely OK. - Zee from WeDoCreative
In fact, I'd like to see more web apps than desktop apps - LouCypher
I've gotten the most benefit from apps that are both web based and have a desktop sync component. I'm not always connected, so offline tools are always appreciated. - Jason Huebel
web apps are fine. probably more useful as I use both a Mac and PC - Jamie

Lol, of course i use twitter...but are the 'contacts' meant to be my followers or people i'm following? - Zee from WeDoCreative
It shows relations expressed by XFN (rel="contact friend etc..") found on the net. Errr ... with huge numbers like yours I am frankly not entirely sure. Just launched and all :) - Alexander Kohlhofer
