Huh, what's going on here? I didn't delete any comments. One really crude one that Dave and Akiva commented on, but that was it. And wait, Akiva and Robert are dbags? Oh, ok. Good thing they don't have to subscribe to me if they don't want to.

No, Veronica didn't delete the comment. I'm sure that the commenter deleted it himself. It was completely inappropriate and disgusting.

If me not treating you differently because you have a crapload of subscribers makes me a douchebag, then I'm the Holy Grail of Douchebags.

I don't really care if you give a frack who I am. But if you're going to be an asshole about it, you can go elsewhere.

Hey, I was defending against the crude comment yet I get called a douchebag?

I don't think I'm a douchebag at all and I'm confused as to why you called me one.

- Ned Garcia-Mathews
Aren't we supposed to take a shot when someone mentions Google Wave?
- Jerry Perez
Perhaps I am the one feeling a bit unchivalrous. But you yawned at me for no apparent reason other than the fact that you 1) don't know who I am (I would have been happy to enlighten you) an 2) I apparently don't subscribe to enough people on FF.
- Veronica
Hah, I was actually just snarking Amy who brought up your popularity. Sorry if you thought that was about you.

We are so BFF now! And don't worry, I call Dave a douchebag all the time, it's a term of endearment.

Right on. And don't worry, I've been called way worse.

Circulation drops at U.S. newspapers as readers turn to online news sources -- latimes.com - http://www.latimes.com/busines...
RAPatton and Roberto Bonini liked this
"Circulation at U.S. newspapers fell more than 10% during the last six months as readers fled to the Internet at a faster pace. The Audit Bureau of Circulations reported today that the average weekday circulation of the nearly 400 daily papers that reported sales slid 10.6% between April and September compared to the same six-month period in 2008. That was bigger than the 7.1% decline recorded during the previous six months. Of the nation's five biggest daily papers, four reported circulation declines. The Wall Street Journal displaced USA Today as the nation's largest daily, notching a slim 0.6% gain in subscribers to reach slightly more than 2 million. USA Today's circulation fell 17% to 1.9 million as the Gannett Co. paper, which gets many of its sales at hotels and airports, was hit by the slump in travel. The New York Times' circulation fell 7.3%, to 927,851, making it the No. 3 paper. The Los Angeles Times was in fourth place with daily circulation of 657,467, down 11.1% from a year ago."

Brooke Shields: 'I was a virgin until the age of 22 because I didn't like the way I looked' | Mail Online - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...

"Brooke Shields has let slip that she lost her virginity at the age of 22. The twice-married actress, who rose to fame as a child star, revealed that she regretted waiting so long but was put off because she lacked self-confidence in her appearance. Now 43, she told U.S. magazine Health that her biggest 'health regret' was not learning to love the way she looked earlier. She said: 'I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22. 'I had the public and all this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK. 'I think I would have been much more in touch with myself. 'I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight. I carried this protective 20 pounds [in college]. It was all connected.'"

"Of course, this isn't much of an authentic tagine (or tajine, or however you spell it) because I don't actually have the special pot of the same name that you're supposed to cook it in.

...Oprah's too busy telling her fans what to buy, what to read, and working on her perpetual diet to twitter. come on, people. plus, she really is a star. stars have lots of followers, er, fans.
- .LAG liked that
Brandon, the Twitter API makes it 100% impossible for someone like Oprah to follow back their followers. I'm trying it right now with another top Twitter user and we can't make it work - Twitter keeps returning Bad Gateway errors. Not only that, but they can only follow 1,000 people per day, even as a featured user.
- Jesse Stay
I unfollow selfish Twitterers. One of the many reasons I think Scoble is so great is that he takes as much an interest in others as he takes in himself--a Twitter model.
- Robert Linthicum
Hi Jesse, I know this all too well:-). I'm hoping Twitter will change this rule so I can catch up with the other 100,000 followers I'm not following.
- Brandon Mendelson
Brandon, agreed - it makes no sense why, if they're going to have a rule, this rule doesn't grow with you as your follower count grows.
- Jesse Stay
Giving people peer pressure to follow back your followers is I think totally against the value of twitter - it gives the most signal/noise ratio when you select who you follow on merit, not just on if they follow you - I check out every follower and scan their latest tweets for value, but any obligation to follow a non relevant follower devalues both your twitter stream and thiers
- MarkEdmondson
There's gotta be more than 11 people that Oprah finds interesting. Or maybe not.
- Sue Radd
Not following back kills the conversation. It's a 2 way street. By not following Oprah is not listening.
- David Eedle
Jesse... I thought that after you pass 2,000, Twitter lets you follow up to 10% more people than are following you. I heard that somewhere, so it's possibly incorrect. You're building tools to deal with this, so I gotta believe you know best...but come on, she's followed by 800K...she can't follow 1% of that "fan" base? 8000 tweeps?

- Ray Cromwell
The fact that there is precisely one set of headphones in the world that this will work with; and those are shitty apple headphones? That's a deal killer. I already have a limited range of headphones because my primary music device is an iphone and I want to have headphones with the built-in mic - reducing that to just one choice is ridiculous.

Agree. I didn't buy UE11 Pros for nothing.
- Robert Linthicum
On the headphones, why didn't they overload the volume buttons more? The whole thing of having VoiceOver read a long list of playlists and hitting the button to stop on the one you want would be much more pleasant if you could hit the +/- volume buttons to rapidly skip through, interrupting the VoiceOver. otherwise, it has the irritating characteristics of a voice mail system
