i'm with Jason - too late, we're already there. - Warren Butler

It will never be the same with virtual "people". It's almost impossible to create human like feelings and emotions portrayed on screen. - Alex Carpenter

They could have just used a virtual Brad Pitt for the whole Benjamin Button movie. All it'd have to do is stare at the side of the camera, stricken with a dumb look. Most of the new generation of actors in Hollywood & tv do basically the same. Couldn't get much worse is what I'm saying. - Christopher Galtenberg

@Alex: Yeah, Keanu's always had that problem. - Yan

Alex: the directors are saying that isn't true anymore. They are already mixing in virtual actors into the real ones to do scenes that are too dangerous, or too expensive. They predict we'll soon see a movie made with virtual ones that will be very hard to tell from real ones. - Robert Scoble

I think virtual actors would only work well in place of actors like Keanu Reeves. - Shane Floyd

Just discovered I was about the write exactly the same thing as Shane Floyd it seems. Great to know I am not the only one. More seriously though, for a lot of the background roles, I think virtual actors are going to become more and more common place, but as for main characters, not quite yet. That said, if the actors decide to go on strike again, who knows. - James Fridley

What would you call Keaneau Reeves? - sofarsoShawn

Next, virtual stars in virtual Hollywood on a virtual red carpet. - Phil Boiarski

Jar Jar binks? -5 - Bill Romanos

OH NO! - Mathew™ one of a kind

why stick it to ur head when u can drive right into a concrete wall,cellphone freaks - classic

Enjoy a nice dose of phone rads for hours. - Mo Kargas

Hey, it's the penny pincer's bluetooth headset!! :) - Rui Pereira

That looks very painful.I am not a big fan of bluetooth headsets--I sure as hell would not use that. - Shane Floyd

See page 207 of the book "Anti-Cancer" http://www.amazon.com/gp... - Garth Bradley

My car Audio has Bluetooth, so I can leave my phone in my pocket or case, or glove compartment ... - Ian May

I would say that would cause more accidents by other people looking at you like you are an idiot. - Robert Peña

@ Ian May: me too! - Business Blogger【ツ】™

Are they serious? And does #Cell-Mate justify a #CES showing? - Vinko

funny. Didn't think this was real. - Jeff Marmins

LOLing so hard at work! :D - Ron

lmao - 2ndmoon©

Ahem http://www.unplggd.com/uimages... - ◄ani625Ξ

Fugly. That's all I can say. - Tyson Key

It may work for the old dude, but the woman with more phone than head is just ridiculous. - sdfx

So, which device beams more energy into your brain (for good or ill)--the phone or the headset? - Michael Markman

lol - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

The smiles on their face kill me lol - Bwana ☠

You just have to smile when you are using one of these. Also, this way you can predend to wear them "ironically". - sdfx

In India, people use this service a bit differently. We stick mobiles into our helmets ;-) I dont use it anyway while driving. - Team Nirvana

That looks even worse than the bluetooth handsets. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

God knows we need that - Susan Beebe

Love it! - Shevonne

good suggestions for doing chris :) - mike "glemak" dunn

My goal is to do one thing a week that is interesting enough to share with my family (failing that, compensation and benefits lawyers need a backup plan, share with them something extraordinary that I've seen someone else do). This is my 1/7th Scoble plan because I can't have a conversation with a different interesting person every day. - David Thomas

2009 will be the year that I create. This goal will drive everything else I do. - Nathan T. Wright

Why is this making me laugh and laugh again? - Martha

Hahaha, they don't care what we think? Fine. Ill keep blogging/tweeting/FFing and the like while they go bankrupt running about with hair alight. - Alex Wilhelm (FF BLOWS)

Apparently the author doesn't understand Twitter or the value it provides. Not surprising. I often get a similar negative response from others when describing Twitter. It seems some people can't get past the initial question "What are you doing?". I often wonder what change there would be in adoption and use of Twitter if they changed that question to "What are you thinking?" After all what your thinking about is driven by what you're reading, viewing, sharing, contemplating, etc. All r discussion starters - Jim Goldstein

Whatever you say, newsweek, whatever you say. You're just 'effin jealous because Twitter has effectively captured the Attention Economy and you've been left out in the subzero cold without a ride. - J. D. Ebberly

It is what it is. Except when it isn't. Innovation isn't what Newsweek decides it is - it's what PEOPLE believe it is. - Dan Keldsen from twhirl

If it's so dumb, why do they feature Twitter messages on their homepage? It's called Newstweet: http://www.newsweek.com/id... - Mack D. Male

poor twitter, nobody gets it! LOL I love twitter! - Susan Beebe

While I'm certainly not convinced of Twitter's value, there's no question that is has been a significant application and to write it off like this just proves what "new-media" types say about "old- media". - Kenton

They're absolutely right! Now, print news magazines -- there's a medium with a bright future! - Mitch Wagner

@Alex, If I could 'like' a comment I would like yours, but instead I just liked the entry - Tyler (Chacha)

I wondered who still reads Newsweek! - Jack Humphrey

Um, no. FAIL - Roberto Bonini

The popularity of something isn't a testament to its intelligence or its innovativeness. - Eric P

You don't get it until you use it. And then you're hooked. - Bob Blunk

At least when I Twitter I don't destroy an entire forest in the process. - Jack Humphrey

Why is this always a one pointed answer? I yhoo, msn, aim, irc, icq and gtalk... why can't we twitter and plurk? - Czar

I use Ping.fm to Twit and Plurk - Zak Nicola

I came across Ping.fm on Facebook earlier, is it any good? - Joe Dawson

Plurk is a fad app. Twitter rocks (except for when it's down - all too often) - Susan Beebe

I use Ping.fm Joe and it's a good service. I don't see a downside to using it. - Bwana ☠

Why should I pick? - Arron Washington

both nowadays. plurk gets the bulk. - Howard O'Berry

Both, but plurk gets the most attention. - Shane Floyd

Nice! Always ready to learn more. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

This reminds a little bit of when Maki / doshdosh promised to teach a bunch of people how to use digg effectively. - Andy Roberts

Well Digg is Hot now with Wikipedia story. Here is a chance for everyone to learn. Digg http://tinyurl.com/56hk9b Jimmy Wales has joined the discussion. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I've been allocating my friendfeed time to Plurk. Damn that site is addictive. - Maki

@maki I feel you, I'm caught in a vicious love triangle with Plurk, Friendfeed and a half working twitter. Lets see who will win my long term affection=) - Steaprok

Maki - Re-tune your FF and split the time. Trust me ??!! - Charlie Anzman

Playing with Plurk today too - http://plurk.com/redeemB... - Darren Rowse

"Import" your plurk feed as a "blog." I agree, @Maki, addictive and fun! - Kimberly J

there is a FF Room for it BTW http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - David Harry

Hey Darren, good to see you in here. I've been plurking so much you can call me a Plurkaholic. The experience so far is leaps ahead of Twitter and FriendFeed. Now we just need a bigger community (which is thankfully taking hold quite fast). - Muhammad Saleem

It sure is addictive, but I really can't see this going mainstream...even if the karma keeps people around. - Ryne Nelson

msaleem, already creating another room for plurk? :D - Syahid A.

Definitely a useful tool for the obsessive-compulsive digg user. :) - Maki

crucial! - MikeonTV

yeah.... so there.... he he... Morning M ;0) - David Harry

I agree with this. I also say ban images. link to them if they really are relevant! - MikeonTV

I also think that Mu should administer some others to monitor this room it being the biggest in the FF universe. Maki would be a good start. - MikeonTV

Thanks for reiterating the point Maki. Mike, I've been wanting to add more people but it seems to me that I can't right now? Anyone else know how? - Muhammad Saleem

Also, please search before you make multiple threads on the same topic. Splinters the conversation. - Muhammad Saleem

Try cross-linking if you find two threads on the same topic (e.g. you start a new one accidentally, or find one outside this group). - Mitchell Tsai

Mu, I think the multiple admin or moderator option is not available for Rooms yet. - Maki

Twitter is more of a broadcast medium. FriendFeed is a conversation medium. - Louis Gray

You're right: Twitter was originally designed to answer one question ("What are you doing?"). It just sort of morphed into something akin to an instant messaging service. - Chris Baskind

Twitter is the new del.icio.us - stagnant and somewhat clueless as to what do to next. - Aviv

And it's becoming that portal for me. I see more interesting things people share, then I act on it, but also return here to discuss and see what others think as well. I think the variety of inputs while maintaining context is what is so powerful about FF. - Tris Hussey

I think that's exactly what people who use both are beginning to do Tris. They will start off a meme on Twitter and then have people follow up with it on Friendfeed (and when I say people, I mean Scoble). Twitter really isn't the place for discussions, it's more a place for conversation and small talk (and of course sharing links and such). - Muhammad Saleem
