Dont rely on Twitter for your main news source - Greg

Where can we found this Forecast thing? - Chris Gilmore

I don't think twitter is strong enough yet, it may be very popular like other websites but it is not as stable as the others. - Jonathan Day

is twitter so important? - EvilMonkey

Not to sound like a commercial for Windows 7, but watching Leo on full screen with IE 7, pretty nice. For those that are Windows Users, you have something to look forward too, and I m running intensive gaming apps at once! - RALPH

Federated twitter.... use laconi.ca - Ryan

I didn't notice the downtime either. - Adrian

I can finally update Twitter from Firefox 3.5.2 again - Gary Kostrivas

I was in mid-tweet when twitter went down - Kevin Ramcharan

"Federated twitter" e.g. laconica is great in theory, but in practice it won't work unless Twitter approves, supports it, and collaborates - Ken Sheppardson

Gary I had no problem with any of the FFox 3.5.x updating twitter - Greg

Well the downtime shows how important people think it is... - Jonathan Day

Given Twitter's role in the Iranian elections, stuff like this is bound to be big news. - Garance Alistair

yeah leo, all that media tlalking about it - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

millions of what? - EvilMonkey

Twitter isn't important. It's a drug and "shiny new thing", but nothing more. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

Jon and Kate were also at the top of the news for a while. You can't infer importance from the fact that something's in the news. - Ken Sheppardson

I think that Molly is right on this - RALPH

Just like Charlton Heston in Omega Man - ZillaFan

How often does that happen...meaningful conversation? - Allyn Edmonds

Molly, I am that 'certain' kind of person too, but I drink other wines ;) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

I think Twitter and Friendfeed have their own place - RALPH

Drovak, meh, move on - min

The media just like the sound of the word "Twitter". Twitter. - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter needs a dedicated fail whale server - Eric Boehs

Leo loves to hate and hates to love Twitter. - Aaron Coe

Father's who tweet to much and the daughters who block them. - Gary Kostrivas

Here we go!! - Jonathan Day

It may have something to do with the manner of comment and how to get it to work lol - RALPH

(repeatedly stunned) - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

as I said Sans.org said last week was GREEN - media-hype does not comply with real infrastructure threats - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

AT&T works fine in Oklahoma area... Great 3G coverage for such a low pop state - Eric Boehs

T-Mobile has crap 3G coverage - Eric Boehs

AT&T dies has soon has you enter a building here - Fee501st

Exactly the same conversation we used to have 10 years ago RE dial-up providers. - Ken Sheppardson

I have not thought about T Mobile of being an alternative, but my AT&T here in Florida runs pretty good - RALPH

funny catfight for airtime - everybody is used to talk FIRST LOL - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

the terrorists are coming! - Dakota O'Neill

I wouldn't go back to Verizon. Each carrier has their own problems. I don't have any AT&T problems with my iPhone. - David Rysz

I get 80 kbps on Rogers.... If it is a concentration problem, how do they do it in Japan and Singapore - Jim Shaver

T-Mobile has great customer service but poor coverage service. - Dale Feinstein

I use T-Mobile G1 for my phone and back it up with an iPod Touch. - Gary Kostrivas

I couldn't be happier with my Palm Pre and Sprint these days, btw. - Ken Sheppardson

thats a ridiculous line, if you jail break your iphone the terrorists win. - mikemcmullan

Dale where are you ..? part of the country? - TalkToMeGuy

its unlocking, not jailbreaking for T-Mob - cxx dxx

Nice straw leo :P - Eric Boehs

I'm looking at cell phones and going to be curious about how people feel about the MyTouch, since I refuse to go iPhone, though the Galaxy isn't far off... - Patrick Sullivan

Will there be a mass exodus from at&t when the iPhone ends up on Verizon? - Jim Bednarz

Yeah that tablet rumour is worrying me... - Jonathan Day

Apple is not consistent with approval process. - DesertWeather

Most of the people with iPhones I know have only a few apps and love it. GV isn't going to touch them - Carey Lumeng

Google Voice is Sweet ! I use it a Lot ! - TalkToMeGuy

The developer note published on Saturday says that “based on the current app submission, 96 percent of applications are being approved within 14 days.” - Eric Boehs

Google Voice is appealing to anybody who has more than one phone number of voicemail system, i.e. home and work. I think y'all are going just a *little* overboard with the "We only care because we're the tech elite" argument - Ken Sheppardson

virtual arm wrestle! - Dakota O'Neill

Beat her in wow - Fee501st

What is a Chumby?? - Julie Manweiler

irony anybody ;) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Awh!! Chumby is so cute, yeah I want one too ladies, I want that very fancy alarm clock. - Jonathan Day

@aron Coe Watching TWIT on the Mac watching FriendFeed stream on iPhone - Jacqueline from iPhone

I like Apple, but I'm annoyed about Google-Voice getting blocked. I do know some people who really don't understand the point to Google Voice, and we can't explain it to them. - Garance Alistair

Google understands the nature of a distributed network infrastructure. My guess is Twitter... less. - Ken Sheppardson

bing will have them before the end ot the year, ha - EvilMonkey

I think the face recognition on Molly's Webcam is on - stopping the picture from time to time? - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Facebook is doing everything that Classmates.com wanted to do, except Classmates.com turned into a total ad agency. - Garance Alistair

Yeah, if you write a page about a topic, guess what... it pops up pretty high in the list of relevant articles for that topic. (i.e. wikipedia) - Ken Sheppardson

Plus Wikipedia often holds the answers to whatever you're searching google for. - Jonathan Day

Where did google's deep search go, advanced search? - Adrian

The "same old thing" aspect of Google is why I use Yahoo and Bing... and dmoz. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

I took the Search Engine Blind Test and I picked Yahoo. - Gary Kostrivas

gotta go lookup hegemony - Jim Bednarz

Are you a good writer if you are a good SEO-Writer = language will transform into - 1 2 3 blah talking points - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

People like finding info in a familiar format... Wikipedia gives them that - Jim Shaver

I find del,icio.us search continues to provide me with the best result. - Adrian

I think one side-effect of Google being so successful is that fewer people have their own web pages with links to sites. And those other links used to be one of the ways Google decided what pages should be on the first page. - Garance Alistair

Yes, if many people think an article is relevant... isn't it... you know... more likely to be relevant? - Ken Sheppardson

so google has a twitter SUL lol - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

like Pirillo - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

What min and Jan said. - Ken Sheppardson

Veronica is right. - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

I totally agree with Veronica. - Jonathan Day

Funny how technology of all things makes us think about these "social" questions. - Adrian

Not allowing "targeted messaging" on Twitter seriously constrains the potential to commercialize the service. - Ken Sheppardson

I don't mind people who advertise "their stuff", but not an ad that someone is paying to insert their commercial in someone else's life. - Garance Alistair

Molly is grand! - James Larmore

Ken - valid point - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

This discussion is immediately following a GoToMeeting ad? Hm. - Ken Sheppardson

That is why Leo brought it up - Hector

Ah... I tuned out during the ad. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

SOCIALISM! - Adrian

A big problem with spam ads is that they suck. They are not interesting or helpful. Compelling ads or products don't usually make spam. Just a thought. - Joel R

If you DM me with an add - It invades my privacy! That's why I unfollow! - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

The line is most blurred on TWiT when it comes to Drobo on Macbreak and TWiP - Ken Sheppardson

Alex, Scott, etc. are all fans of the product, who are also paid to "evangelize", in a sense - Ken Sheppardson

You choose what twitter is for you, it can be about conversation with people who interest you or it can be following tonnes of random people. - Jonathan Day

All of us are on Twitter to advertise. - Ken Sheppardson

@Ken those are part of the PixelCorps though - Jim Shaver

MollyRants are always AWESOME :) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

I don't like the idea because somebody could make it look like an ad but it might actually be say a website with a virus. - Dakota O'Neill

We at times becomes enamored with brands. - Adrian

Yes, Oprah is on twitter to advertise herself. But the people *FOLLOWING* Oprah are following her because they expect that. They want Oprah's ads. - Garance Alistair

and could care less about advertising. - Adrian

it really depends on how often the ads come up - Daniel E. Renfer

@Garance true. so they should all leave twitter and make a oprah-ttsomething ;) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Reminder, Twitter is brand driven, it's a personal brand. - Adrian

Twitter will be history this time next year - Rick

did the first podcasts have adds? - EvilMonkey

no - Jim Shaver

Every ad from somebody makes me unfollow him/her - period . It's a sell-out. - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Also, Twitter is the company which is spending all the money to make the service available, and these commercials are not financially helping Twitter. - Garance Alistair

Humans are inherently internally inconsistent and hypocritical, and we don't like it when other people do things we think it's OK to do ourselves. We all just need to learn to live with it and move on. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

I am Mad about DIGG.COM's sponsored stories!!! I think that is just as messed up as ad tweets - Nick Young

I love Molly Rants !! I finally lived long enough to hear bull crap and Oprah's name [brand] used in the same sentence !! - TalkToMeGuy

I've been seeing a lot of twitter spam bots that have 4 random facts, and then one ad. I removed them - Daniel E. Renfer

What if the ads were personally selected by the person on twitter ? - Jason Cartwright

@Rick I agree, though I'd give it two years at the most - TeraDyne Azurepaw

It was years before podcasts had ads - Jim Shaver

as long as you put a mute tag in the tweet so I can mute it - min

Leo has difficulty seeing other point of view here. As for me, I just won't follow an ad dropper. So some people will drop ads, and others won't. What's the big debate about? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

facebooks ads are just dirty - Dakota O'Neill

Just let the market decide. If their content isn't important enough to you, you stop following, if their content is important to you, you're gonna continue following even if they have ads - Stephen Pickering

Preternat: He's trying to reconcile his same basic reaction with the sponsorship system on TWiT - Ken Sheppardson

too many url shorteners... - decjr

URL shortening is a commodity with no marginal value. All the services will start to fall by the wayside, and it'll just become a feature of other sites and services. - Ken Sheppardson

bittercakes. ahaha cute. - Dakota O'Neill

Ken ok, but my point still is, how one person reconciles it can be different from others. His is not the only point of view. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

I like moourl because it has a cute cow on it. - Jonathan Day

Preternat: I agree with you. - Ken Sheppardson

Twitter: we couldn't find a buisness model, so we're shutting down - Daniel E. Renfer

URL shortening is a short term arbitrage sort of opportunity. If you're building a business around it, you're doomed. - Ken Sheppardson

tr.im had great stats too - Klaus Bach

Name the show: TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes - Fee501st

Bingo - Ken Sheppardson

TWiT 207: Taste the bitter cakes - Hector

To be fair, I have to add... I prefer his point of view. It's just not the only view. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Bitly is gonna build a nice business around it - Stephen Pickering

I agree and disagree, I follow certain people to advertise what they wrote or did not advertise someone elses product. I block people who only post ads, it's spam to me. I don't use twitter for ads, I use it more as an RSS in a way - Dave Hoffman / N3PRO from twhirl

Why can't Twitter automatically convert the shortened URLs to the actual URLs? - Dale Feinstein

He needs money for his podcast not Twitter, Twitter is free his cost to buy stuff to make his broadcast better isn't, so ads help to make back the money he spends to bring the program to us. - Jacob Chimilar from iPod

marketing guys and spammers love url-shorteners - click, click like 20 years ago - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Bit.ly has a Firefox plugin to preview - Nick Young

cool - Adrian

Veronica TweetDeck lets you preview - see the settings:-) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

@Leo The security aspect might be a good topic for an episode of Security Now. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

Don't interrupt the Leo! - Hector

He was more pissed that Coleen stole his passwords :D - Nick Young

This Week in Twitter - thats like for many months, what Twit is - so what? ;-) I like it, but I use Twitter... - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Is Twitter reliable - Jim Shaver

I should have hit my sarcasm key, sorry. - Adrian

Patents, copyright, trademark... all the intellectual property laws are fundamentally broken and not keeping up with technology. - Ken Sheppardson

reliable twitter aint - EvilMonkey

I invented the wheel. What's prior art? - Daniel E. Renfer

I invented Patent Oswalt - Gary Kostrivas

@Jim - that's for you as a user to decide, isn't it? - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

patent is a good business. It doesn't require a real product - min

Patents: For those who can't make money the honest way - TeraDyne Azurepaw

DO IT MOLLY! - Adrian

She should! She would be awesome, made to rant in a legal capacity. - Jonathan Day

Isn't patent law fundamentally unchanged since it was developed in Italy back in the 15th century? - Ken Sheppardson

This conversation would be very different if @acedtect & @therealdvorak were here - Mike

you have to be an engineer to be a patent lawyer, right ? - cxx dxx

Going to law school to study patent law these days is equivalent to going into engineering to learn about buggy whip dynamics - Ken Sheppardson

patents try to increase innovation where there is none. We have plenty of innovation in the tech world and the current patent regime stifles it - Jim Shaver

far out - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Lower Thirds... production value - Adrian

It used to be that you could apprentice with an attorney for seven years, and that would allow you to sit for the Cal BAR in CA. Not anymore. You have to take classes at a law school now. You can, however, pass law school and call yourself a JD (Juris Doctorate). - shelter watch

Can't skip past the ad on the live stream can you? >_< - Jonathan Day

No, Jonathan, you can't. 'cause they sneak in content during the ad ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

if you stop the stream and come back in... say 20 mins - Jim Shaver

@Ken, Leo makes content out of the ads. He's just that good. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

btw thanks for following back Twit-Army - friendfeed is handy for 'subscribing' to you :) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

He's certainly mastered the Paul Harvey ad format :-) - Ken Sheppardson

good day - min

I love todays show - great vibe - fun group - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

NICE - Ken Sheppardson

:-) - Ken Sheppardson

I'm not taking that risk, there might some gems of content hidden in the ad in that case. That being said I might actually give Squarespace a try - need to sort out my wordpress.com blog. - Jonathan Day

of course! it was cgi - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

There's an online law school (non-ABA approved) which allows you to sit for the BAR for $3K plus per year. There's another law school which meets only M-TH at night only for people who want to have a law degree for nonprofit type purposes (People's Law School or something like that). $5K plus per year. - shelter watch

giving Leo talking points is cool;) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Thank You Leo. - Adrian

I will give you a false certificate - no prob. My printer is that good:) - Alex 'BuckyBit' Covic

Facebook Opens Status API, Say Goodbye to Twitter - http://www.allfacebook.com/2009...

Tonight Facebook has made a number of updates to the Facebook platform one of which is the opening of status updates. In order to get Facebook statuses, you no longer need to use a session ID to access statuses. This is a huge update and one that I think is going to take Facebook to the next level. There are additional updates listed in the Facebook blog post: Not everyone has 2k+ followers on FB to get a viral comment going the same as Twitter . FB = inner circle; Twitter = public party." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

so does this mean that more Facebook stuff will be filtering into FF? - Thomas Hawk

It would be nice to be able to rely on Twitter as connective tissue for social media. - Christian Anderson

This'll be an interesting change to the balance of power. If there is such a thing. Still, I'm hanging out on twitter, not FB (accounts on both of course though). - Bryan Duke

Good question, Thomas. I wonder if it'll make notes importing functional with the default Facebook share type, without having to add them as a separate RSS feed. - Tyson Key

It's up to FF if they're going to support FB's FQLs. - Mona Nomura

Hmmm, time for a twitterific-style iPhone app for FB statuses? - Bryan Duke

A facebook-centric blog says that a new facebook feature will kill a competitor? Ummm, no. No bias there... - Owen Byrne

I don't see FB killing twitter, they serve two different purposes.Twitter is elegant in it's simplicity. - Gary H

and Facebook is gonna kill Friendfeed too: "The real loser here is probably friendfeed, honestly. If facebook wins aggregation from many sources with this move, they’ll effectively kill friendfeed’s differentiation factor. they already have user-base, volume of relavent content to handle a mass influx of updates plus the digested format of the newsfeed that people already expect. They... more... - Alejandro

I like Nick, I do, but he is delusional LOL - Mona Nomura

I doubt Facebook will kill FriendFeed, since FriendFeed is generally much more open in comparison (i.e. you don't need to approve friends, and the site feels much more "free-form"), not to mention that Facebook's aggregator only supports a limited number of sites natively, without using 3rd party applications. - Tyson Key

Quite delusional. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Seriously, what is FQL? LOL And you better believe when bigger 3rd party services start using FB's messed up API they will NOT stay quiet about how messed up it is. They have the potential to be heard more than FB app devs - the only ones that actually utilized the API to begin with so FB better have their stuff together. Like I said on Twitter AND AllFacebook, FB is NOTORIOUS for being developer unfriendly. So LOL at the notion that FB will be a 'killer' anything. - Mona Nomura

@Mona - Some proprietary bastardisation of SQL apparently, although there's an implementation in their "Facebook Open Platform" source code drop that they made eons ago, that I doubt they update, if I remember correctly. - Tyson Key

As Facebook would call it, "an evolved subset" ;) - Tyson Key

Ya along with their FBJS or whatever that is. Hilarious. - Mona Nomura

http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index... - Tyson Key

I just think facebook is sort of boring. Plus they always bombard you with those freaky little zombie invitation thingys. http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Thomas Hawk

@Thomas - Hah, great screenshot. Did you accept the "toy car request", "addicted to dexter invitation" and "winnie the pooh request" invitations? ;) - Tyson Key

Well what stinks is that FB was all gung ho with 'normal people' monetizing on the apps we (users) hated so much. I mentioned in Leo's thread (man too many FB posts tonight) but FB screwed over the devs. Stats don't lie http://adonomics.com/about.... With a crappy track record like that, why would 3rd party developers want to support FB's initiatives? And TH LOL!! That is insane. I actually have a different group of people I interact with on FB. I kinda like it. ;) - Mona Nomura

So when will twhirl allow setting status on Facebook messages? - Colin Charles from twhirl

FB overtake FriendFeed? I'd like to see FF gain more market share so at least FB is forced to re-do a few of their news feed features. I tried "importing" my blog thinking it would put links to my posts in my FB feed a la FriendFeed. Instead FB monitors your RSS feed, scraping the full text of your blog posts and creating FB notes, keeping the visitor inside their walled garden. Bush league. - Tom Harrison

Wow. - Paul Colligan
