The best PR: create an uber useful product that targets people who (a) have large audiences and (b) can't keep quiet about using it. Eg, FF targeting Robert Scoble. :-)

The PR Game needs to change, but can't figure out how. Bullshit is about where they are right now as they try to figure their way out of the pasture.

Why doesn't this item in FF get any comments but the twits and google reader shared items do? Is it because otherwise the conversation gets away from the blog or is fragmented to much ;) ?
- Mark Jenniskens
Answering Mark, it's because when Robert wrote this, he sent a tweet, and there is a delay between the tweet hitting FriendFeed and the blog post. Therefore, the conversation is already happening on the tweet before the blog post arrives. Happens to me as well.

Mr. Scoble... Let me turn the dime on you... Google Scholar has a proprietary crawl on nearly 1 Million documents in the peer-reviewed energy exploration vertical search platform I operate by day. They've indexed something like 40,000 of them so far. Yahoo has NO CLUE those exist. They won't and can't. Google's already perfecting "closed" search deals (in enterprise and behind paywalls like mine).
- Gerald Buckley
And, to Lousi and Mark, he also did a Reader shared item for it which also has comments. It's almost like he's trying to show how scattered things can get on friendfeed. I had to try to find this entry to comment here. I could have just done a Reader-share-with-comments, but I didn't. It would have been easier, though.

Personally I'm very bored of Facebook and I think a lot of people will get bored of it over the coming months and years. We've been through all this before. Five years ago in the UK friendsreunited was huge; it was all anyone talked about. They tried to maintain their monopoly by keeping it incredibly closed. Now it's virtually dead. Great services always beat big walls.

Here's my first ever comment on FriendFeed, just for you Scoble. I can't see MS keeping Facebook closed if they do in fact acquire it. I don't agree that it is in their own best interest to do so.

He's using window.name for object storage. This is a really interesting and potentially useful hack. I'm surprised that I've never heard of it before.
- Paul Buchheit
Wow, that's clever. Never thought of that possibility before.
- Meryn Stol
Brilliant!
- Mohamed J
Although, if you do an "open link in new tab/window" that will, effectively, end the session, I believe. In many ways it is not as robust as cookie based options. Hmm...
- felix
As the author points out at the end, this technique is insecure and subject to XSS attacks. This is because the value of window.name is available across domains. It's an interesting hack but I don't think you will find a lot of people using it for this reason alone.
- Kevin D. White
@Kevin developers have done stupider things :)
- Steven Hodson
Kevin, that's also part of what makes it interesting -- it's possible to do cross site sessions :)
- Paul Buchheit
@Paul I agree the idea is intruiging. I just can't see most dev groups deciding that in this case the reward is greater than the risk. Afterall most groups that aren't terminally stupid are more concerned about not carrying data across domains. I don't want to belabor the point. It is a cool hack. I just think the utility of it is pretty low.
- Kevin D. White
This is interesting for limited applications, but the security flaw is troubling. Perhaps it would be useful for "one-page" or "flash" session data where you have a multipage form and don't want to POST between pages.
- Gary Burge
The second comment notes that both Firefox and Safari *crashed* if you tried to stuff > 32 MB into window.name. Sooooo I'm not sure the security implications are limited to XSS ;-)

[Brendan Eich comments about the birth of JavaScript]: As I've often said, and as others at Netscape can confirm, I was recruited to Netscape with the promise of "doing Scheme" in the browser...

[About having Java and JavaScript]: ...two languages were required to serve the two mostly-disjoint audiences in the programming ziggurat who most deserved dedicated programming languages: the component authors, who wrote in C++ or (we hoped) Java; and the "scripters", amateur or pro, who would write code directly embedded in HTML.
- Chris Wetherell
[On JS adoption]: Is JavaScript popular? It's hard to say. Some Ajax developers profess (and demonstrate) love for it. Yet many curse it, including me. I still think of it as a quickie love-child of C and Self. Dr. Johnson's words come to mind: "the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good."

The author of this anti-Internet piece is Cliff Stoll, best known for The Cuckoo's Egg, his 1990 book about tracking a hacker who had infiltrated his systems at Lawrence Berkeley Labs. He's an astronomer by training, but an early Internet user. We used him as a contrarian columnist on MSNBC's The Site, and ZDTV/TechTV. It was his schtick, but like our 1995 hair styles, it hasn't aged well.

It's really interesting how this is a new phenomenon. In the past if I was at a bad or boring presentation I would think it was dull, maybe tell my neighbor and maybe talk with some people afterwards about how boring it was (but we wouldn't all remember most of it) Social networking changes all that...I can get instant verification that yes, indeed this is awful from my fellow audience...

"Twitter is another example of the ridiculous quickly turning to the sublime. Morons who can't choose one bar and stay there on Friday nights want their friends to be able find them. Voila, a service that sends out badly spelled messages about your whereabouts to everyone you know. A few short months later, Egyptian democracy activists are using the same tool to organize and communicate below the radar and/or while in jail."
