Say Hello to the New New GigaOM - http://gigaom.com/2009...
"Om - The design is clean but my favorite part is "Across the Network" section near the footer - very well done. Some observations - looks like the Facebook connect integration needs some fixing. Also, I can see just one ad (from WebEx) on the page. Is it because of my geographic location (India) or have you reduced ad spots with the new design. Just curious to know. And would love to see a weekly email digest for "Best of GigaOm"." - Amit Agarwal

"Matt, would you also not recommend using nofollow for pages like “policy & terms”, “contact us”, etc. Like the RSS feed, it doesn’t make sense to have these pages in Google results." - Amit Agarwal

Wow, I replied to enough tweets just now (~60) that Twitter won't let me send any more tweets. It's an uncomfortable reminder that Twitter != the open web.
so you decided to continue on friendfeed? - Mike Dammann
Not sure why you bother with Twitter myself. I just have FF push my comments through to Twitter and never go to it anymore. I have added all of the people I follow on twitter as Imaginary Friends here (really there are not many ;)) and use FF as my sole interface now. - Travis Koger
denied! they probably were searching on google, got one of those "we think you aren't human" message and decided to get even, matt. but just think, now you can be all scobleish over here. - dannysullivan
"Twitter != Open web" - Reminds me of Gmail that has a sending limit as well http://www.labnol.org/interne... - Amit Agarwal
Spammer :P ... I kid I kid! - Tony Adam
Amit, but it's pretty darn hard to hit Gmail's sending limits (500 people at a time) if you're just sitting and doing normal work. And I can still send email in other ways because email is an open/federated standard. With Twitter, the whole ecosystem is theirs, so if they don't like how many people you reply to, tough luck. - Matt Cutts
Matt, we use GApps here at work and I think we are just under the limit on sending. The issue we have is that we have a couple of accounts that are used on the Apps account for announcing to our clients new versions of software and critical issues etc. We are only lucky that at the moment our client base is under the limit... to be clear though these are our actual clients who we provide support services to, not a mailing list of 'potential' clients. - Travis Koger
There are Twitter accounts that regurgitate the same messages over and over. I'm happy with limits on those, which are a nuisance. But many times people are just communicating a lot with unique messages and I can't see stifling those. - Alan Eggleston
ff is much better for rapid fire conv anyway - mike "glemak" dunn
~60 @replies? You must be some kind of spammer. - Christian Burns
Matt, it all boils down to network effect otherwise there are feasible alternatives to Twitter when it comes to Microblogging like identi.ca, jaiku and many more. Imagine how cool it would be if all these were federated and we could cross communicate (ala Google wave). - Abhishek
In the absence of significant competition or people like RMS (who put their philosophical beliefs ahead of convenience or utility) what motivation does the owner of a walled garden (with many tenants) have to open up or federate? - Adewale Oshineye
The #twitterjail limits were apparently decreased in the last week or so. I've seen a HUGE upsurge in the number of people complaining about this, and/or establishing secondary sending accounts for when they're rate limited. Strangely enough, it seems that smaller accounts are rate limited at smaller numbers than large accounts. So any claim from Twitter that this is architecturally related is hogwash - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Note that Laconi.ca based services like Identi.ca *are* federated. An Identi.ca user can subscribe to and dent @ an army.twit.tv user. - Michael R. Bernstein
Thats the problem with Twitter it has so many limits = Tweet Limit, API Limit, Follower Limits ;) - Nicholas James
The big problem, is that they keep them a secret (until you exceed them) and they do not apply them in equal or equivalent fashions. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Kindle is Cool, But Color eBook May Save Civilization - http://blogs.wsj.com/digits...
Is the digital savior of the sagging magazine industry finally in sight? On Wednesday, Fujitsu Frontech began selling the world’s first color epaper ebook reader. Available on April 20 in Japan only, the gadget costs 99,970 yen, or more than $1000. Until now, ebooks like the Amazon Kindle and Sony Reader have been limited to black and white or shades of grey, making them OK for reading plain books and newspapers that like to use stipple drawings, but not great for colorful print media such as magazines. But if color ebook readers catch on, one theory holds, magazines and other media that currently print on dead trees would have a cheap way to distribute – and charge for — the colorful content and ads that marketers will pay for. Recently, publisher Hearst said it wanted to dive further into the ebook business. Fujitsu’s color epaper technology, first unveiled in 2007, is different from the technology created by the Massachusetts-based E Ink that’s used by the Sony and Amazon. But E... - Amit Agarwal

Microsoft Releases IE 8 to Combat Rival Browsers - http://gigaom.com/2009...
In exactly 14 hours, at 9 am PST, you will be able to download the Internet Explorer 8.0 browser, Microsoft’s response to Firefox, Chrome and Safari, from the company’s web site. The release is a tactical acknowledgment by Redmond, Wash.-based software giant that it’s locked in a bitter battle for market share with Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera, Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari browsers. So far it’s been on the losing side of the equation, ceding market share to its upstart rivals, all of whom are touting ease of use, simplicity, security and speed. Microsoft’s browser chief, Mike Nash, thinks the new IE 8.0 has got all that and more. While many of the new features in this browser are available to users of Safari and Firefox (via plugins), Microsoft is offering a comprehensive package — sans download — for a majority of the people that continue to patronize IE.Nash was particularly excited about the new security feature of the browser that protects browser users via a reputation system.... - Amit Agarwal

Nokia to Shut Down Mosh - http://gigaom.com/2009...
Nokia, the Finnish cell phone maker and wanna-be web power, will shut downMosh, its wildly popular service that makes it easy for people to post and share content with others. Why? Too much illegal stuff like music and pornography was being shared on the service. Nokia’s record label partners didn’t like that. - Amit Agarwal

iPhone wish list and tablet talk - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs...
Later today (Tuesday) Apple will hold a press conference to unveil its upcoming iPhone 3.0 operating system and a new SDK ,or software developer kit, for the phone that is aimed at helping engineers and third parties write applications for the device. Naturally enough, speculation on the blogosphere is rife about what will be on offer. Apple notoriously stays mum on what will be coming out but here is a selection of what some people are taking guesses on what might be included and what they would like to see. Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg, says he expects a cut and copy and paste function. A feature that has arguably been one of the most requested. Macworld is looking for quite a few improvements to the iPhone so I will just note a couple of them. The blog wants a new improved mail programme with a single unified inbox. Great for those with more than one e-mail account. It also wants to be able to synch notes and to-do applications and would like to see better app organisation. The... - Amit Agarwal
