If Twitter is the "pulse of the planet", then it just had a heart attack #Error503 #cardiacarrest #CPR
i was in the middle of pitching an event on twitter and it 503'd on me. You know how bad that looks/feels? - matt ceniceros
It's better than being IN the event with no Twitter-pulse. - Dave
even more reason to not rest a social program on one channel. - matt ceniceros
i was wondering about that...thought it was just me! - Jim Gray

Looking for a local (Memphis) Joomla developer resource for some app work on existing site (wants to transfer hosting too). Thanks for tips.
I just looked up Joomla's specs and found that it's PHP/MySQL with an MVC model. *Sounds* straightforward enough, but I've never peeked under the hood. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Would love to see if this is a fit for this guy. I don't know exactly what he's after yet... - Dave from email
Gregg Smith
Memphis is isolated in the "Emerging Mega-regions"...interesting visualization http://dataviz.tumblr.com/post...
Unless there's something I'm missing, I like that type of isolation. - Dave

Cleaner FriendFeed (New Beta) - 04/06/09 | userstyles.org
Cleaner FriendFeed (New Beta) - 04/06/09 | userstyles.org
Changelog: -- removed the grey background -- removed the bar background and made it subtle -- some font size changes -- some spacing adjustments -- select text background changed - AJ Batac from Bookmarklet
* Cleaner and cool look and feel (FriendFeed is already clean, this makes it a lot cleaner) * Different font style * Highlights friends comments with baby yellow (instantly know that the user is already your friend) * Highlights your comments with baby blue (it’s cool to see your own comments from river of comments. Looks good when you are a distance away your computer, makes your... more... - AJ Batac
yay! - mjc
This userstyle brings the FriendFeed conversation to another level by instantly letting you know… 1) Your own comment (Powder Blue) 2) Your friends comments (Light Yellow) 3) Your non-friends comments (Normal FriendFeed Comment Color) 4) Likes (Light Pink) - AJ Batac
As FriendFeed becomes popular, you’ll definitely need some kind of instant and attention grabbing color that catches your eyes and tell you where you left off in a conversation. Hope you like it. - AJ Batac
Well THAT didn't take long. - teh Dork Knight
MUCH better :-) - andy brudtkuhl
Nice AJ. I'm considering installing Chrome v2 just to use this Greasemonkey script. You fixed all the UI nitpicks I have. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Now I have to move over to FireFox? - CW™
Congrats aj. - Alp
you legend. :) - Zee.
THANK YOU! - Rochelle
Installed and liking... wish the font was a tad bigger but I can adjust that :) - Bwana ☠
could you block the logo also? - mjc
installing - lovely- although there is something in having the "main area" diff. from the rest of the screen as in the original design - must play and see what works better for me - Naor Mark
That's much better, thanks AJ - Sally Church
Good work! - Rich
i like colour isn't too much white hard on your eyes - Damian Holmes
mjc, it won't look good. but you can use this (#logo img { display:none !important; }) - AJ Batac
That looks much better! Maybe the FF devs can adopt that scheme. - Her Lindsay-ness
really clean and cool. - Jansen Lu
That was fast man! - JazJaz
wow thanks aj - Alfredo
that looks much better - RAPatton
agreed...should have been this way from the start :) - Nick
Damn, AJ...fast work! Awesome as usual! :) - JA Castillo
great - hate the grey! - Gaby K. Slezák
wow that was fast... I don't mind the gray, but this is a nice option for those complainers who don't - Nathan Chase
Switched already and I'm lovin' this script - much nicer! - Sally Church
I cleaned it up further. If you've downloaded it already, edit and change this line (.bar {border:none !important; background:none !important;background-color:#C8DCF5 !important;}) ;) much better without those borders on bars ;) - AJ Batac
(too lazy for looking up the line - re-installed :) - Naor Mark
Same as Naor, but yeah it is nicer :-) - Sally Church
this is fantastic - loving life with a #112 body :) - Christopher Galtenberg
Wow AJ, nice job. I hope FF takes notice. - Andrew Smith
AJ that was fast! - Susan Beebe
Much better AJ! - AJ Kohn
Wow. Nice. Thank you! - Ken Sheppardson
I can't tell... are you mimicking the effect of the little yellow halo around the comment bubble when it's inserted into a page you're viewing? Ah... there it is... the halo's still there. Might be nice to have the entire comment's color fade. Skill Level 2.0 ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
Thanks AJ! - Shey, Jamaican of FF
I love the comment HIGHLIGHT COLORS - blue = mine :) Friends = yellow = cool!!! thanks - Susan Beebe
@Susan Wasn't that apart of the beta already? - Shey, Jamaican of FF
@Shey, nope. - AJ Batac
Wow, this style is gorgeous! Blows the default beta away. Still no fan of fixed-width but if devs go with this style and the new functionality, it's enough win for me. - ·[▪_▪]·
@robot, here's one for you -> Widescreen version (http://beta.friendfeed.com/ajbatac...) or fluid/liquid - AJ Batac
Widescreen...for...the....WIN - Bwana ☠
I do wish links were in a different colour or <strong> - Shey, Jamaican of FF
How cool is this! - Charlie Anzman
WOW tnx I love it - Dobromir Hadzhiev
this is great. thanks! - Peter van Teeseling
Made it use Segoe UI pt 11, and looks much better :D - Yuvi

Awesome AJ! But what took you so long? - Edward Zwart
♥♥♥♥♥ Thanks!! - Alix Whitmire
I switched to Firefox just to use your layout - it helps. - LPH™ and his dog P™
AJ - Would you give permission to FF bosses to just steal your setup and implement it? It's just a whole lot nicer. - Matthew DeVries
free to modify, free to whatever you want to do with it. ;) - AJ Batac
hey dude you got mentioned in the read write web http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... - Alfredo
@alfredo, Thanks. - AJ Batac
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is wonderful in FireFox - Anthony K. Valley ©
Thank you, AJ, you rock! - Michelle Martinez
Awesome!! I'm using it right now. - Mark Layton
Gosh, that's better, thanks for the Beta FF version - I've been used CleanerFF since using FF. - Kol Tregaskes
No, do not want... It looks like the old one... no way. the new bet-UI is way better. At last some colors - Ryo / Fuck Facebook
This is VERY nice. Well done! - Tony
@wiredryo You really like colors? I find them distracting and cheap-looking. Just my style though, maybe. I like minimalism. - ·[▪_▪]·
Yes, of course I like colors. The time of Black & White TV has gone, you know :) - Ryo / Fuck Facebook
WOO-HOO! Now THAT is more like it! - Steven Perez
So much better. Thanks! <3 - ♥patricia♥
That's wonderful. Thank you! - joey
Even cleaner without avatars in the feed: http://userstyles.org/styles... - Meryn Stol
Really enjoying the Cleaner FF. By the popularity of this thread, I'm assuming many are not really happy with the gray background and colored sidebar boxes. - Ricardo Vidal
I personally have not much trouble with the new color scheme. Try removing the avatars, they are really noisy. Just try to experience the difference. - Meryn Stol
colored and + fontsized the post titles, as i prefer to catch the posts rather then the comments, it really works. - Yunus Tunak
Haven't gotten the new look >.< - Patrick from twhirl
AJ - Could you maybe make one that moves the filters and subscriptions over to the left side, turns off the real time, makes the avatars disappear and replace them with icons showing what service provided the post. Maybe as a finishing touch add the ability to post things to our rooms/groups? - Matthew DeVries
Feels so much better. - Valley
Application error (Apache) Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html :( - Helen Sventitsky
I changed the background for #f8f8fc because it doesn't look as good when it's just as white as the main column. Having it an off-white like that is a lot nicer. Just a suggestion. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Also, I turned off highlighting of friend comments (although not my own) because you all chat too much. :) - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
this is awesome. thanks so much! - Karoli
great! i disliked beta's grey background. :-) - browneyes
Much better! I don't mind the constant flow, but wasn't a fan of the new design. - Vince DeGeorge
Done. and loving it. Thanks AJ! - Dave
AJ, you da man! I like it very much. :) - imabonehead
using it here to... good stuff :) - Jay Martinez
I tweaked it so all it really did was get rid of the gray background, but left the font sizes and colors alone. Now it looks REALLY good to me. Will screenshot it now. Thanks, AJ! - Josh Haley
Using this now... soooo much better! :D - Brandon
i love it! :) - pm10
love it! seems better! - Business Blogger【ツ】™
very nice, thanks :D - PaperDoll
wow, just installed this, way better! - Marcos Marado
I agree! I think I like this much better. The Gray background was getting to me. - Kreg Steppe
Still prefer the post options from the 'old' freindfeed interface - they were out front & more available for on-the-fly, intuitive changing - Aaron the Librarian
@Aaron, I like the new one better. ;) - AJ Batac
Great job, AJ. Soooo much better. I hope that FF notices that we like their original clean design better and incorporate it into beta again so that I don't need a script for this. - Carmen
<too lazy to read through the comments> if you're using stylish, but aren't crazy about the Trebuchet MS font, go to Tools > Stylish > Manage Styles. Select "Cleaner FriendFeed" and click the Edit button. Go to line 8 and remove "Trebuchet MS" from the font-family declaration (font-family:"Trebuchet MS","Arial","Serif" !important;)</too lazy to read through the comments> - tiffany

Digg, Facebook and Google: Whose toolbar is it anyway? - http://venturebeat.com/2009...
I read this exact same post last week! http://www.lalunablanca.com/2009... - Daniel J. Pritchett
not exact same. but yeah! - Eric Eldon from IM
My comment above was rude; my apologies Eric. It is good that you and others are asking the "what's with the nested toolbars" question. We're going to need a "remove frames" bookmarklet soon. - Daniel J. Pritchett
see if conduit meets all your needs, its free and so many features plus code your own features: http://www.conduit.com - Monique
Daniel - not seeing your comment as rude. Just many people have issues with the framed pages. The argument has been around for a while. I'm fear it's going to win out with some obscure method of giving the "choice" to have the frames or not. Here's something from a few years back, heated words here and there http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89... - Dave
Mitch Canter
@megmorris hashtag spam is when people use unnecessary hashtags (like #tcot) just to get their message to people. no relevance, just spam
How does the # make it spammy? Cuz it links it? - Dave

Robert Scoble
If you want more followers on Twitter and friendfeed here's what to do:
1. Stop begging for followers. It turns off all the interesting people. - Robert Scoble
2. RT smart people's stuff but add onto it with a good comment. - Robert Scoble
3. If you have something smart to say, say it to someone directly like "Hey @techcrunch you should check out the new Palm Pre." - Robert Scoble
I now await the inevitable flood of "RTs" of this message ;-) - Warren
4. Send wine or other bribes to people who make lots of noise. - Robert Scoble
Sounds like someone's running low on wine :) - Eric Florenzano
5. If you are friends with a real celebrity bring them around at blogger/twitter parties. Make sure you get them to follow you and remember your name. All good twitterers have iPhones or other phones that they can tweet from. - Robert Scoble
6. Put your twitter and friendfeed addresses on your business cards. - Robert Scoble
7. Talk shit about Eric Florenzano. :-) - Robert Scoble
Ok, well that's *someone's* blog done for tomorrow, then! :) - WorldofHiglet
8. Follow people back if they add value. 1938media has added 1,000 new followers since he started following everyone back. - Robert Scoble
What kind of wine goes with bribe? Did you ask GaryVee while in Vegas? - Dave Cadoff
9. Talk shit about that Scoble dude. Yeah, me. Sometimes it gets a link and a follow. Especially if you teach me something while you are calling me an idiot. - Robert Scoble
LOL *hands Robert a bottle of wine* Please add the "don't pout or make a twitter fuss when you notice someone drops you. Insecurity isn't a attraction" - Sprite
10. Be interesting. Craig Newmark got hundreds of follows in first evening (I was the first to follow him) after I tweeted about him. Why? Because he was interesting already. - Robert Scoble
Remember it's not about the followers - it's about the relationships. Your purpose of having many followers should be so you can build relationships with as many of them as possible. - Jesse Stay
11. Do something sensational like tatoo your twitter address onto your face. - Robert Scoble
BTW, (real-life) relationships then bring more followers - Jesse Stay
Wine? Bribe? Anything will get noticed. Better yet, put a custom label on it and include your Twitter address on it. - Robert Scoble
Liked for the 'talk shit about Scoble'. Also, Scoble, do you accept Mead? - Will Higgins™
12. Hang out with Jesse Stay. Better yet, bring him to Twitter's headquarters for an interview (that's what I did and it worked). - Robert Scoble
I've tried to do everything on this list, but the tattoo isn't going to work. I've already branded my twitter address onto several steers. - Mike Nayyar
13. Stalk Guy Kawasaki until he calls the cops on you or follows you. - Robert Scoble
14. Get naked. Take pictures. Include your Twitter address. - Robert Scoble
er - we've seen most of your body, Robert, so where's *your* tatoo? - WorldofHiglet
15. Tweet from a burning plane. - Robert Scoble
16. Tweet from jail. - Robert Scoble
17. Tweet your marriage proposal. - Robert Scoble
Robert, so you're saying I got you more followers? - Jesse Stay
18. Tweet you are dying. - Robert Scoble
19. Be a member of congress, or better yet, Barack Obama. - Robert Scoble
This would loose me followers. Trust me on this. It would also get me a few lawsuits I think. :D - MarkCarras
this is going to go on for like...days...isn't it :P - Erin @queenofspain
#18 is reasonable, as long as you don't actually die. Lowers your productivity. - Ken Brady
Jesse: hanging out with you made me far cooler than I was previously. - Robert Scoble
If I'm gonna get naked, I've got to have some sort of revenue coming in. At least enough to buy a netbook with. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Write a FriendFeed post about how to get others to follow you - Jesse Stay
20. Get your picture on the Twitter blog. (Actually that didn't work that well because they didn't include my Twitter address). Heheh. - Robert Scoble
be yourself and those that fit with you will follow? or at least seem a certain way for that audience? - David
21. Tweet while having sex. Or getting drunk. Or, better yet, doing both. - Robert Scoble
Robert, no, I must say I became much cooler hanging out with you - Jesse Stay
Will: Mead? Absolutely! - Robert Scoble
Jesse: that's what you think. Ask your real friends and they will probably tell you otherwise. :-) - Robert Scoble
22. get on Leo Laporte's show and have him order his listeners to follow you. He did this last Sunday to my son and you should have seen the followers roll in. That dude has POWER!!! - Robert Scoble
Robert, I asked them and they said you're the man - Jesse Stay
23. Get @garyvee to take you wine tasting. Tweet it. - Robert Scoble
24. Write a book about Twitter. - Robert Scoble
naked pictures drunk sex and dying. got it. Oh, also, be Barack Obama. ANything else? - Erin @queenofspain
25. Get Chris Brogan to say you are smart. - Robert Scoble
Be hot and make sure your avatar shows it - Chris Saad
WTF how pathetic do u have to be tohave this desire to be followed.Ppl follow u cuz they find u interesting & if not they will dump u period.Being a Personal Ball washer is just lame to get to have followers.be sure to hold ur ground. - Baba
26. Get into an argument with @techcrunch. - Robert Scoble
I've mentioned my Twitter account on The Tech Guy but I think my last name throws people. :D - MarkCarras
27. Question @loic's Frenchness. - Robert Scoble
Go to breakfast with @techcrunch and he tweets about it randomly - Chris Saad
"Have Scoble say you are interesting." Just worked for a few people I am going to "try follow". - Dean Clark
Erin, welcome to Twitter ;-) - Jesse Stay
28. Be like Baba and call everyone who worries about being followed an idiot. Or 28B. Agree with Baba. Personally, he's right! - Robert Scoble
Tell any blogger they're wrong - Jesse Stay
29. Claim you are above this stupid game. - Robert Scoble
Quit Twitter, come back after 2 months - Jesse Stay
All bloggers are wrong at least every few posts. Especially me! :D - MarkCarras
30. Follow more interesting people. That's why I've said for a year now it's most important who you follow, not who is following you. What I really was trying to say there is if you want better followers you've got to follow better people. - Robert Scoble
lol Jesse. Twitter? What's that? I thought I was learning how to sell a shamwow - Erin @queenofspain
What kind of wine are we talking here? - Chris Poirier
Mark, you bet, but we are all type-A personalities. We hate to be told we're wrong and will defend it to our dying day. :) - Jesse Stay
31: Give away something. Hold a contest. - Robert Scoble
Launch a great Twitter service and stick your twitter name in the footer - Chris Saad
32. Invite Louis Gray over for dinner. Make sure he brings his twins. Take pictures. 1000 extra points if you bring shirts for the twins with your Twitter address on them. - Robert Scoble
be in a warzone and don't die - Simon T Small
33. Do something outrageous for followers. - Robert Scoble
Start a thread going on and on about it on FriendFeed :) - Chris Saad
imagine what'd happen if you had sex with Obama on a burning plane heading for a warzone, whilst drunk, and piloting the plane? - Simon T Small
@Simon ROFL too funny - Chris Saad
34. Chris Saad is right. Speaking of Chris, if you party with him in Amsterdam you'll get more followers. Oh, and if you are the guy who wrote http://www.twittervision.com you'll get more followers. - Robert Scoble
Take a pic down a girls shirt and post it on FF. - David
Not 'Chris Saad' robert - @ChrisSaad :D - Chris Saad

I've had 2 new FriendFeed followers just from this thread. - Jesse Stay

I buy dinner for anyone who comes to my area and contacts me through Twitter...and is following me. :D - MarkCarras
I find that not following people back increases the rate at which I gain followers - Simon T Small
Simon: being Robert Scoble is pretty hard. You've gotta keep coming up with new ways to find followers. It's easier to call him an asshole on twitter. Even better, call him, TechCrunch, 1938media, JasonCalacanis, Guy Kawasaki, and a few other people assholes. - Robert Scoble
37. Jeremiah Owyang found this one: stop Twittering. - Robert Scoble
I'm amazed I don't get called an asshole more often. I think this should be my New Years Resolution. :D - MarkCarras
38. Follow someone, then when they don't follow you back, call them out on it and say they are lame. - Robert Scoble

40. Pay Magpie to spam everyone with your Twitter address. - Robert Scoble
41. Go to Gnomedex. - Robert Scoble

Robert: wait, not change in plans, I don't hate those people, damn it! - Simon T Small
No one gets to be King of the mommybloggers until I deem it so dammit - Erin @queenofspain

44. Come up with a new set of rules for Twitter behavior. - Robert Scoble
Oh boy, Mr. Scoble. I hope you are not Tweeting while getting drunk and having sex... Poor Mommy and son... Some things need to stay sacred.

I even got my partner to come and watch some of them. Thanks for the good stuff! - Colleen
45. Get more followers on Facebook then get them all to join you on Twitter. - Robert Scoble

51. Follow everyone then unfollow as soon as you get a follow - follow that? - Mona Nomura
Chris: Influence is gold, like it, am tuned - Simon T Small
This post alone lets me see the value of FriendFeed over Twitter for conversations. Glad the list above isn't documentation of your personal twitter conquest, but a record of some of the looneyness of Twitter follower greediness - Paul Povolni
52. Move to SF and go to every. single. Tweet-up! YAY HOW FUN! - Mona Nomura

Always respond to people with an "@" ie: @scobelizer WOW this thread RULES - since you never know what Google's indexing! - Mona Nomura
Dieter: Huh? If anything this post would be sponsored by Seagate. You can follow them at http://friendfeed.com/seagate (Seagate sponsors my video show, not my friendfeed account). - Robert Scoble
Mona: 'post famous pictures' Love it. Works a charm on facebook. - Simon T Small
i have a new one: use Browser bugs to greet your blogvisitors with their twittername http://is.gd/eMdF @andreasklinger - Andreas Klinger
Chris: having something interesting to say? No, that couldn't work, could it? I'd rather talk about my followers. :-) - Robert Scoble
Retweet this thread (no, that's not a request, it's an idea) - Jesse Stay
Robert: U do both so its all good :) - Chris Saad
Chris Saad: yer talkin crazy with that last one. Focus on content? Insanity. - Scott Kingery
55: Dieter reminded me of one more: talk about products that already have Twitter accounts. When I talked about HR Block they followed me. So did Ford. So did Zappos. - Robert Scoble

So did @HeavyAsHell Oh wait, that's my site. :D - MarkCarras
57. post a comment to a robert scoble FF feed - Damian Holmes
Luke: T-shirts are so common. How about shoes? Jeans? Underwear? Don Box used to have his company logo on underwear. Called them "Boxer shorts." I still remember those, even though I've forgotten all the lame Tshirts I've ever gotten. - Robert Scoble
Only a slut is going to be able to advertise well with branded underwear - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Compete for the most followers on Twitter - didn't Leo and Calacanis do that at one time? (or am I getting the contenders wrong?) - Jesse Stay
58. write your twitter name on your eyelids then go to a tweetup or large tech conference - Damian Holmes
MiniMage: not true. Don Box is no slut. He now runs a team at Microsoft. - Robert Scoble
Spam FF with your useful knowledge - WorldofHiglet
Be an early adopter - be one of the first, get in early, and build a follow base early - Jesse Stay
Another one? Take pictures of Twitter users and follow them. They almost always follow back. - Robert Scoble
I aint never heard of Don Box, and that means I didn't see that underwear! ;). No, seriously, I concede, but I had to make a retort. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
This thread is my bucket list. - Eric Florenzano
I think a good way to make more friends is to live an interesting life. Life is a journey. You meet people just around every corner. Twitter happens to be one of them. - Helge V. Keitel

Have a sense of humor! - Mona Nomura

Robert, I kinda bagged you, with a positive spin, it got me on openzap 'today's best' http://openzap.com/ - Simon T Small
This was before I really understood as @marismith says, that true value in twitter for me is having followers and following those people with intersecting paths because, like in real life, that's how interesting real conversations have a chance to develop into fuller, deeper, more lasting relationships. - Leslie Carothers
Robert, It's Sunday Morning in Loviisa, Finland ;) - Helge V. Keitel
Leslie: I did follow you here on friendfeed. I still haven't been able to find out if it works well for hearing impaired. I'm sure it does, though. The speaker phone on that device is pretty darn good. - Robert Scoble

Keep up with memes since everyone wants to hear what's been repeated on the web a trillion times without contributing a new opinion. ie: CES looks cool. - Mona Nomura
All great points. I've always hated requests for follows. I'm only attempting something like it for charity. In that instance, those who do the same should be very clear about WHY they want followers in the first place. Otherwise it looks like you're just in it for yourself. - Brandon Mendelson
@mattrendo, already been said up there! But you FAIL since you forgot the hashtag: #scoblizerrulesOMGWTFBACON. - Mona Nomura
Chris Loft: everything said about me is absolutely true! :-) - Robert Scoble
So it's true that you have huge... giant... socks? - Chris Saad
Thanks for the follow here on FriendFeed, Robert. I know this is where you interact. But,because home base for me is Twitter, I never saw your follow here until I went to comment on this thread! It's too much for me to constantly go back and forth and also keep up with work, life,friends and family.How do you guys do it? Thanks, tho, Robert,for letting me know. I learn from you ALL the time. - Leslie Carothers
I really am not obsessed with more followers. Sure I appreciated them as much as the next person. It is not a popularity contest for my use case. Hence, I will never be a "Top 100" person on Twitter. ;) - Rodney Rumford
If it's on the Internet, it is ALWAYS true, Robert. ;) - Mona Nomura

back up your success with nothing more than 140 characters - Sheraz Mahmood
I've noticed that people who start a controversy, especially with a high profile person, get an immediate boost in followers. You'd think it would backfire but it seems to have the opposite effect. Maybe it's the trainwreck factor? People curious what on earth will be said next? - Liz
Apparently posting on Scoble's Friendfeed works... 6 followers in the last few minutes. - Matt Rendo
Woah. 278+ comments. Impressive! This is definitely one that will stick on FFholic for a while. - Phil G
You forgot to add being Karl Rove to the list: http://twitter.com/KarlRov... - Roberto Bonini
Wondering is anybody will read all these comments. I do believe if twitter doesn't get it together, that a large group will flock out to another destination. ala: Poof! - Dave

Post photos of cute puppies on FriendFeed. - Amit Morson
To get followers, jump into a Tweetchat "room", get into the convo, follow folks then tell them in the chat room that you are following. For the "Happy09" chat, there were tons of people in there. Better yet, start your own chat/chat meme! - Jesse P. Luna
@ reply like crazy to let the person know you followed them ie: @Scobleizer HI I FOLLOWED YOU FOLLOW ME BACK repeat until FailWhale/FailRobot shows up. - Mona Nomura

Leslie, the N series work v well with the hearing impaired, but the iPhone works even better from my experience FTW! - Sally Church
One thing that annoys me: people who discuss their follower numbers on twitter. Its just not interesting! I just subscribed to someone and unsubscribed the next day as 4 tweets were about passing 10000 - I'm very glad for you but it is just noise in my feed. Now I understand the feeling - I was amazed the day 100 people followed me (it is all relative :) ) - but it is not necessary to tweet about it. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I was going to send you some Swiss wine Robert, but I was told it doesn't travel well, so drank it myself. Just so you know, it was good :-) - Paul Shadwell

Paul, what's that about swiss wine not travelling so well? It travels beautifully (but you need to get the good ones). It is so hard to find outside Switzerland because the swiss tend to drink all of it. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Just noticed this is a very dude-heavy thread (not all but mainly) and that I mainly subscribe to guys on FriendFeed. But on Twitter I have about 60/40 men/women Following mix, I think. It was the comments about ta-tas and sexy profile photos that made me realize the difference. - Liz

Here's the 401st for good measure! I kinda use Twitter and FF to keep up with new, and record ideas and thoughts for myself, but if some people out there find a common ground with me, that's very cool! I think too much is placed on these online friend / follower counts overall tho... BTW, this comment is probably on the "How NOT to get more followers on Twitter or FF" list. :) Keep feeding me the knowledge Scobs! - AdPanda

423 comments? :O - Will Higgins™
I think that I made a comment on this post but I can't find it. And Mona, you are cracking me up!! - BEX
I wonder if there is a limit to how many comments can be added to a post on FF - Susan Beebe
The funniest part about all this is that I've gotten a *ton* of followers for posting on this thread. Weird! I think once my programming-related FF activity resumes people will drop from my feed like flies :) - Eric Florenzano
Too bad I can't tweet the link (yet) -- of this 400+ comment -- I don't know how to call this. Not a Tweetversation by any means. A FFversation? Anyone come out with any sensible terms? - David Feng
I have some ideas, none of which are usable. - WorldofHiglet
subscribe to Friendfeeds for Twitter Celebs and read their Twitter hints... Start with Scoble.. - TechMama Beth Blecherman
I see "423 more comments". That's the most I have ever seen so far in FF! - Winston Teo
TechMama: that will work very well. Of course then you'll only be fed shallow news. The real good stuff is on the K list. They aren't on the bottom, so they have a few followers, but they really don't give a shit so they are very real and teach you stuff. Unfortunately they usually don't stay on the K list very long. They either get moved up pretty fast or they get put in rehab for social media addiction. - Robert Scoble
You don't. - David Spinks
What was this thread about? I forgot, AGAIN! - Jim Bednarz
Jim: me too, it's taken on a life of its own. Oh, yeah, it was about how to make money with friendfeed. Heheheh. Yeah, right! - Robert Scoble
Quick! Scoble's about to do a 'How to make money on friendfeed' post now. Looking for the hattrick ;~) - Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
Ed: heheh. how to make money in friendfeed? Get a million followers. The money will come. Or maybe not. :-) - Robert Scoble
Robert: I guess you could charge for seminars on how to get a million followers ;D - Seth Greenblatt
Robert - Think you broke your own record with this one. 255 Likes and 437 comments ?! Guess nobody's embracing Friendfeed tonight :) - Charlie Anzman
Nobody's gonna read this, but I can't help observing that "I've got 10000 followers" is kinda like saying "I have 1000 books on my bookshelf", as if the number, not the content, is the important thing. - Mr. Gunn
Charlie .. his last one has 300 comments and over 300 likes I believe ... But this thread is 70 people away from reaching every single person on Friendfeed. (Given the 500 like rule) - Tyler (Chacha)
Better than the cover of Rolling Stone!! http://blog.twitter.com/2009... - Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
ChaCha - Ya gotta love it. Now when he reaches everyone on the Internet ... :) - Charlie Anzman

Most importantly, get followed by @scobleizer hope he retweets, likes and/or comments on your posts. - Christian Anderson
Christian: that's fair. I keep hoping you retweet, like, or comment on mine! :-) - Robert Scoble
Yikes, I see there are 442 "collapsed" comments that follow Robert Scoble's teaser! (I won't dare to "expand" them - it would take ages to read them all.) The subject clearly preys on people's minds... Scoble has a knack for hitting the right button! - Yule Heibel
I wonder if Mobile Safari would have such an implosion that the iPhone would shatter in my hands, if I tried to expand that thread. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
doing video works pretty well too :) - Loic Le Meur
great, robert, this is *really* pushing the limit :) - Alberto D'Ottavi
tweet about the size of Robert's ..... =X - Rachael Depp
whoa comment frenzy! @FriendFeed can you please build a Comment Quality filter before I attempt to make sense of all this user generated erm "content"? Now there's a question: how do we measure Comment Quality? - Bob Hitching
And then you hate IM... - Dario Salvelli
I was lucky enough to arrive at his 3rd or 4th point... it was amazing to see it happen on the fly, as I and other people jumped in. It was like a chat room or IM chat. - Simon T Small
Oh, and by commenting a couple of times on this post, I got 36 new twitter followers and about 6 new friend feed followers in 12 hours - Simon T Small
omg.. why isn´t there a comment link on the bottom as well ? Especially useful on the iphone. I forgot the witty remark that would ensure me thousands of followers by the time I finger-scrolled to the top and to the bottom again on this insanely long thread. Oh, well, at least my comments are seen sometimes.. hello ? - Thomas Bøhm
I do like how #1: Stop your bloody begging and whining for followers is still showing though. :-P - Mathew A. Koeneker
this is so last week... - Edward Zwart

Re: 18., Tweet from the great beyond. INSANE follow numbers then. ;-p - mtlb
This is certainly quite interesting thread. I wonder how many Likes this will get. :D - Daniel Schildt
This thread has become a meme unto itself. As I once said, Robert Scoble plays social media like a virtuoso musician. FTW - Sheldon Steiger from twhirl
this stuff works for real! wow! - Siddharth Parmar

RT @steffanantonas: F-18 just crashed into MY neighbourhood - I live literally right across the freeway - picture: http://www.cnn.com/2008...
I am not into these guys bailing out and then letting the jet crash into houses. no good. - Dave
Is *that* what happened? I hadn't heard that part yet. I'm flabbergasted - wonder what their alternatives were? - Daniel J. Pritchett
Wow Dave - you raise a really good point. One of those ethical quandaries. - Hutch Carpenter
A pilot won't usually eject if there's any reasonable chance of saving the plane. The outcome of not ejecting would probably be one more dead body, which is hardly fair when you consider that most on-approach crashes are mechanical failure. Should the pilot die for that? - Kevin Fox
Good thought Kevin - the plane was going to hit the neighborhood no matter what, assuming total loss of control. Pilot would be another fatality, with no chance to help. - Hutch Carpenter
I hope everyone is alright! - Mo Kargas
Just listened to the press briefing. Apparently the pilot experienced some sort of mechanical difficulty while on training maneuvers over the water and was coming in for an emergency landing. Now the question is whether the difficulties were serious enough that they should have ditched the plane at sea. This is going to be a difficult inquiry, since in retrospect it would have saved lives, but you can't go ditching $45m planes whenever they have a mechanical failure. - Kevin Fox
The second guessing will be needed and insufferable, methinks. - Hutch Carpenter
Damn, 2 deaths reported :( - Mo Kargas

Am stuffed!!!! Ate waaay too much today and topped it off with birthday cake of the most sinful chocolate (thanks @acriley!)

Social Media Memphis
thinking about a little social networking experiment-reporting on Great Emergence event (Memphis) real-time on my blog/Twitter and Facebook - http://twitter.com/joanpba...
I did not know about this. You learn the darnedest things on Twitter! "Experience first-hand a unique event which focuses on the current state of and future possibilities for Christianity. And learn about this new phenomenon from Phyllis Tickle, founding editor of the religion department at Publishers Weekly and one of the most highly respected authorities and popular speakers on religion in America today will be the main speaker. Tickle is one of many sought-after speakers at this event." - Daniel J. Pritchett
We recently used Zannel.com at barcamp and found that it might be a good contender for the barrage of messaging you'd have live blogging. - Dave

My favorite part of the article was learning that @lalunablanca is slated to teach Social Media courses at two local colleges in the spring! - Daniel J. Pritchett
The outdoor shoot would've gone better if I'd have turned the autofocus off. :-) It was cold, and I figured I'd talk faster and stick to the point. Thanks for the links and comments. - Dave

LinkedIn's WordPress application is updating (at least for me).
I found it. There's and "[edit]" link just to the right of your blog name, change that radio selection. Mine was on posts with "LinkedIn" only.... :-) have a great Thanksgiving. - Dave

Ooooh, just picked up Flip Ultra camera I won at BarCamp Memphis. I'll get to play w/ it tonight at soccer party. :o) Thanks, Zannel! #bcmem - http://twitter.com/cbahm...

Just hired a new Social Media person :-) All via the Social Networks and telephone. I love new media!
Congrats! When do we get to tweet @ this person? - Daniel J. Pritchett
You may have already, she comes from the Social Sphere. Getting paperwork out of the way and such. - Dave
Joe Spake
@lalunablanca entice us with online apps, social media, and the internet cloud. Then take away the connection. Sounds like a conspiracy.
Are you talking about Twitter? :-) - Dave
Dave
Referencing the CoreConvo at #bcmem on an Etiquette Manifesto, I'm thinking we have a wiki and maybe break it down by SN. Thinking we'd all like to see this as something that came out of #bcmem. What do you think?
Sounds like a good plan to me. Let's be sure and make it as easy to edit as possible i.e. no login required. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Just created http://goodmanners.wetpaint.com (I would have gone for etiquette but it's a booger to spell). If goodmanners... is bad, chime in. I'm just playing with it at this point. Jump in. It's been a good while since I Wetpaint'd. - Dave

Lessons from my first web-based collaborative slideshow:
Zoho has cooler templates than Google. - Daniel J. Pritchett
... but I went with Google because it let me publish an invitation for ANYONE to collaborate. Zoho makes me specify individuals. I wanted to make this public. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Automatic revision histories are awesome. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Flipping through a presentation online while someone in Asia (and two of us in Memphis) watches was fun. We chatted a bit and had a good time. I can see this working out well for real teamwork. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Adding images is not as easy as it is on the desktop, but it's not all that bad. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Google's AutoShapes aren't nearly as sophisticated as in PowerPoint - Daniel J. Pritchett
Inserting a "click here to edit me" link to the presentation itself was fun! - Daniel J. Pritchett
Rich media presentations that are heavy on the transitions and high-rez graphics are probably better done on the desktop and then *uploaded* to Google. I'll have to try and see how well Google imports that type of candy. - Daniel J. Pritchett
In order to get other people to sign on and edit the presentation I'll probably need to be in the same room with them. Right now it's just an ideal... this is still a one-man presentation so far. - Daniel J. Pritchett
@Gregory: There's not much to it! Go to http://docs.google.com/ and click on "New > Presentation". The rest works sort of like powerpoint meets blogspot. If you've got any particular things you can't work out I'll be glad to take a look. - Daniel J. Pritchett
That was a great experience. The chat box on the right is very desirable. - Dave

Quote: "The African-American population share is the key determinant of early voting behavior. In states where there are a lot of black voters, early voting is way, way up. In states with fewer African-Americans, the rates of early voting are relatively normal." - Daniel J. Pritchett from Bookmarklet
Not related directly to this post, but I'm a slightly reluctant to think that next the election is going to go off without some type of shameful act somewhere. With so much emotion and polarization culminating on Tuesday, it's like I can hear battle-drums already. Just doesn't seem like the Second place party isn't going to just walk away acknowledging the defeat and congratulating their worthy opponents. Peace. - Dave

@lalunablanca are you getting lots of ideas for #barcampmemphis? differences/similiarities? - http://twitter.com/bgsand...
Yes. We took notes and debrief dinner on the road home. The ultimate driving principal is going to be the answer to the question: "What is our goal?" I think Nashville went for "BIG" (and it was), but there were some grumblings too about the corporate feel. - Dave
wound up putting them here: http://lalunablanca.wordpress.com/2008... - Dave

Social Media Breakfast Memphis on November 5th. Will be in the large room at the Crescent Club. RSVP here http://newmedia.meetup.com/84/
I'll do my best to make it. It's likely I'll miss this and only be able to spend part of the day at BarCamp. Good luck on the session - got any presentation topics lined up? - Daniel J. Pritchett
For the Breakfast, one of the presos will be Lorrie Jackson on Social Media in Education. Hate that you might miss part of BarCamp - Lemme know if there's something we can do there to enable your full attendance. - Dave
Chandler's MFA thesis show is the night before and we'll have family in from out of state. I'm not going to make the final week of her 7 years in college any harder than I have to. That said, if there is down time I'll head to BarCamp. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Completely understood and we'll do our best to capture the event to share later. 7 years... many congratulations to her. - Dave

Marketing budget should include spending on social media - Memphis Business Journal:
Quote: "A marketing plan for 2009 should also address what many are calling the “Web 2.0” networking aspects of the maturing Internet, such as Facebook and Twitter." - Daniel J. Pritchett from Bookmarklet
USDA grade bologna. Yes, the ROI on spam works. The same tactics cannot be applied long term in the Social sphere. Ignoring it is one passive approach that will not work long term. The Social spheres must be SELF POLICING and we need to start flaming out the aggressive "marketers" that are NOT part of the conversation. We're getting daily Twitter follows from budgets blindly blasting their ignorant dollars at Twitter and more. arg! - Dave
Interruption vs. permission marketing <ref: Seth Godin>. The mindset of most business seems to be interruption, and they are simply trying to take the interruption techniques to the permission based social media. Whoever told me about @spam on Twitter is my hero of the week. - Joe Spake
