"The Volkswagen Microbus is a classic - even to those of us born after its time. Arguably unlike the newly remade Beetle, this remake of a VW classic is remarkably true to the original on the outside - but on the inside it is a bio-diesel hybrid stuffed full of high tech gadgetry and eco-friendly innovations."

ah! and I was wondering why my twitter vanity search hit on that topic as I do not like the air apps. but grouping actually would be a reason to try it out. problem: as long as twitter decimates the request rates it is unreliable, but a first step in the right direction. will download it now ;)
- Nicole Simon
Louis, I think you're right - there is still innovation happening around Twitter, fortunately. The fact is there is still a huge audience on Twitter and that audience still has the potential to be monetized. I'm even building something around Twitter at the moment. There is still that threat though, that developers could leave if Twitter keeps neglecting them - it's in the back of the mind

"Now, now, Jeff. I mentioned in the article that I typically prefer native apps or Web apps to AIR apps, but this one is very interesting, at least to me." - That's part of why I like the platform so much.

I think data mining via search is going to become so complex and so accurate that a price can't be set on it's value. Searching the worlds data is going to make it possible for systems to manufacture new facts and stories, will it be an accurate truth or a version of the truth? Still fasinating stuff.

This is where the movie "Richy Rich" was filmed. Built by George Vanderbilt in the late 1800s, opened in 1895. "Building Biltmore was, at the time, one of the largest undertakings in the history of American residential architecture and the results were astounding. Over a six-year period, an entire community of craftsmen worked to build the country's premier home. The estate boasted its own brick factory, woodworking shop, and a three-mile railway spur for transporting materials to the site."

President Obama vowed to try to stop the faltering insurance giant American International Group from paying out hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses to executives, as the administration scrambled to avert a populist backlash against banks and Wall Street that could complicate Mr. Obama’s economic recovery agenda.
- grant fox
from Bookmarklet
"A.I.G. executives say that they are contractually obligated to pay the bonuses to their executives, including those who are part of the A.I.G. division where the company’s crisis originated." Hmm, what if that's actually true? No matter, it surely isn't actually true, at least not for all of them.
- ⓞnor
If you are contractually obligated to pay a bonus, why isn't it "salary"?
- Bret Taylor
Easy way around the contract problem. Give the folks who are set to get these bonuses a choice.... take the bonus and lose your job. Refuse the bonus and keep your job. AIG has failed so spectacularly that they need billions in bailouts so I can't see the problem with firing a few of the folks responsible.
- Jeff Jones
Yeah, 'cause we may as well throw out all of our contract laws also. Who needs them? The government will keep us all nice & cozy. Now run along.
- Craig Eddy
Contracts can be renegotiated. For instance, the gov't basically required the UAW to renegotiate their contracts when GM was bailed out, and something similar could have happened with AIG.
- Larry Greenfield
Corporate thieves.. come on lets call a spade a spade !!
- Peter Dawson
That's fine Larry. But what this sounds like it class envy, pure and simple. Just like we rarely see a definition of "rich" when we hear "tax the rich", I'd like to see what "executive" actually means.
- Craig Eddy
I rarely hear "tax the rich" at all outside of straw-man arguments. And being upset that people who work for me are being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for their abysmal performance has more to do with agency and accountability than envy.
- Jim Norris
Ahhhh.. you knew the right wing class warfare drivel would be spewed forth sometime in this discussion. Come on Eddy, after eight years of the greatest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top 5% it's "class envy" to be outraged about taxpayer money going to pay bonuses for the people who caused the need for the bailout in the first place? Get another schtick.. no one is buying that one anymore.
- Jeff Jones
Bret: A contractually obligated bonus can differ from a salary because the bonus is usually set by some sort of performance metric, whereas salaries are fixed. Those metrics may no longer seem sensible to you or I, but the contract stands. Larry: You can only renegotiate if the counterparty has a reason to come to the table. The UAW did; these guys don't, really -- they will take their money and split no matter what. And unlike the UAW, these are many contracts with many individuals.
- ⓞnor
Jeff: "Take the bonus and lose your job" is probably exactly what they are hoping for right now. Wouldn't you, if the bonus was millions of dollars, and the job was with a pariah company in federal receivership? Unlike the UAW workers, these guys don't care about keeping their job.
- ⓞnor
"these guys don't care about keeping their job" ... amazing how some presume to speak for "these guys" and (more than likely) have no idea who the hell they're talking about. The worse thing to come of all this (besides the fact that we did it at all) is the de-humanizing of the corporation. This isn't some anonymous evil mastermind that's getting this bonus.
- Craig Eddy
Craig, who's demonizing who here? Contractually guaranteed bonuses are common at financial firms, but only for people making a very large amount of money. I'm just saying that it's very likely the recipients of AIG's contractual bonuses have no reason to want to trade their bonus (likely millions of dollars) for their job (which kind of sucks right now), and that's why the UAW comparison is not a good one.
- ⓞnor
But I am very happy to say that the wealthy individuals who engineered a system of "regulatory arbitrage" (fraud) creating one of the greatest concentrations of unaccounted financial risk ever known, which is now holding the world hostage and requiring hundreds of billions of taxpayer money, can do without their bonus this year. You can howl about envy and class warfare all you like, but they fucked up massively, the government bought them out, and they can now eat their damn crow and go home.
- ⓞnor
ⓞnor++
- Kevin Scott
Again, let's not assume that "wealthy individuals" are the onces getting the majority of these bonuses. Especially since the Washington Post dispels that misinformation in a recent article: "some of the upcoming bonuses are relatively modest once they are divided among employees. About 4,700 people in the company's global insurance units are receiving $600 million in retention pay. In...
more...
- Craig Eddy
"AIG's top seven executives, including Liddy, already agreed in November to forgo their bonuses through this year. Last week, AIG agreed to restructure bonuses for the next 43 highest ranking officers at the company, who are to receive half of their bonuses -- which total $9.6 million"
- Craig Eddy
So it appears that MOST of this bonus money was offered to employees as retention bonuses: stay on board through these tough times. Those employees agreed to stay, and now they're promises are threatened by the very entity that was supposed to bail this company out. Would you stay?

It's strikes me as noteworthy that when Twitter was having issues a few months back, there was a lot of noise related to the fact that the blogging/publishing model obviously couldn't scale, and that it would be necessary to go to a messaging (e.g. XMPP) backbone. Then Laconica rolled out with a RDBMS publishing model on the back end, Twitter did whatever they needed to do to work around the problems, and now everyone just seems to be assuming once again that it's the proper model.

- Hutch Carpenter
The problem with this approach is it's all still working on a backbone that was built for blogging, not microblogging. I haven't looked thoroughly, but it would seem scalability would be tough with this approach.
- Jesse Stay
Also, how will it work with OMB? Or how are they working with others to standardize how it will communicate with other microblogging platforms?
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: Did you make that prediction before or after they rolled out the Prologue theme in January 2008? ;-) http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2008...
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken: when everyone is creating their own microblogging service for their own purposes, the question stops being "how can I use Twitter to do X" and becomes, "how can we get all these services talking to each other?" Think Email: I can set up a mail server on some 10 year old equipment. Will it scale to 10 million people? Definitely not. But it serves a specific purpose and can talk to all the other mail servers without a hitch. Laconica, for the reasons you described (among many others) is not the solution.

If someone's haircut is how you judge them, I believe that can be adequately described as superficial. Who decides what a "professional hair cut" is? I don't think a haircut has anything to do with a victim attitude.
- coldbrew
"a haircut has anything to do a victim attitude". Objectively, you're right, Coldbrew, but if your potential employers truly dislikes your haircut, it decreases your chances of being hired. Doing everything you can to adapt to the environment if you're in trouble is the only right strategy. Otherwise, you're just blaming the environment, which won't bring you any further. If you're in an environment where people don't care about your haircut, all the better for you. :)

- V Mary Abraham
coldbrew: Malcom Gladwell and others teach us that job decisions are made in the first 30 seconds. So, having a professional looking attire may make the difference. It sure does with me. I don't want to work with people who look unprofessional. Yesterday I visited Cisco. I noticed that the guy who met me was wearing a suit and tie. He sure isn't going to hire you if you wear a ratty t-shirt, have tatoos showing, and have a punk haircut.
- Robert Scoble
Thankfully, in Boulder, it is seen as odd to wear a tie. It is exactly this type of attitude that makes me appreciate co-founding my own organization where we set the values, and they have nothing to do with appearance (ok, maybe the sales person's appearance is linked to performance).

- Robert Scoble
It didn't matter, he was judging by appearance like Scoble is suggesting is ok.

Ok, Scoble, I should have guessed these were mere guidelines, but I'd rather encourage people to base their decisions on things like productivity, insight, creativity, etc.

coldbrew: I'm not sure I quite got to the point where I condoned it, just explained it happens all the time. This is why you wear decent clothes to interviews. Me? I look at what you do online. Your online reputation is important to me if I'm going to hire you.

I have many other interests besides programming, and I do not own the I.P. developed on someone else's dime, thus cannot blog about it. Since my blog to date is "me minus programming," and there is a glut of good blogs about programming, I'm not sure this advice applies. Does my public LinkedIn profile solve this dilemma?

Richard: I'd rather you be able to point to a blog where you have demos, samples, and other examples of what kind of programming turns you on. That demonstrates to me that you actually know what you're talking about, rather than LinkedIn, which just is a resume.
- Robert Scoble
"That demonstrates...", aka "Show, don't tell." :)
- Meryn Stol
I have done that for several years. Now its quite more relevant because of all the social info, but even 4-5 years ago you were able in some cases to find a small crumb trail.

Where are those days where you could just lie about who you are to get a job ? :) update: [/sarcasm] (Just in case anyone misses it)
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Erwin: the problem is that if you advertise a job right now you'll get hundreds, or thousands, of responses. So you MUST filter them down to, say, 10, to have any chance of getting any work done. That's why the Internet is such an important part of your career plan. You won't get past the filtering stage if you don't work on that.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks Robert, I could at least go through all my programming-related items and feed them to tumblr...

@robert, you'd miss out on alot of prospects from entertainment biz, then. a lot of the industry doesn't want people to find them - it's more word of mouth, intros, relationships, etc.

@Shivanand doesn't scan - needs rewording and/or punctuation ?

Not disagreeing with you about first impressions counting, but I was hiring in late 2002 - early 2003 - when there were also far more candidates than jobs, and there were a huge number of candidates who wore 'professional' clothes and had 'professional' resumes, but no talent at all. Most of the people who were worth hiring stood out in some way. Not nose-rings and tattoos, but at least some amount of individuality, implying a level of confidence in their ability to perform rather than just conform.
- Robin Barooah
It all depends on the character of the company and the nature of the position. Personally, I wouldn't want to be associated with any organization that judged people so superficially based on tattoos, piercings, hair color or style. If I was a client and walked into an office with little variation in attire and personal grooming, I'd run away scared and really wonder about how such an atmosphere could foster much creativity.

We've surfaced thousands of people and brands using social media for branding. see http://media.tEarn.com/ Old media guys have terrible brands. New media has been very aggressive.
- DJ Chang
These factors should be evaluated in context. I might not hire a starving artist in a long-term full-time position but to clean my house every week or two? Why not? Otherwise that smacks of the sort of elitism that gives elitism a bad name.

Observing this trend of googleing everybody is part of the reason why I started http://www.extendr.com. Among the many reasons it fits in this conversation is at least that most of us don't have the time or expertise to game Google to get the results we want. Why not create a page of your web footprint and start sharing that place? Your candor in my experience will not go unnoticed.
- Joseph Rueter
joseph - i think your site/product will be useful to some folks trying to create one location to point to & not have to create their own - i've been using using http://glemak.com for years for just that reason, but i wouldn't be in your demo ;)

I'm a very open person; I post about many topics most people would consider private or controversial (or both) and often very publicly. I always do so knowing that I am posting ONLINE and that anyone could potentially see my comments. Any lesser awareness is either naiveté or stupidity. Be bold (and accept the consequences) or be private.

I'm so tired of how blogs want to be treated like press but can't be bothered to act in a professionally responsible manner.
- Kevin Cheng
A lot of the press can't either; the nice thing about blogs is that the conversational aspects of the medium make it easier to respond publicly. (The downside is that page views count for more than a reputation for accuracy.)
- Jim Norris
Re-read the headline: "Did Last.fm Just Hand Over User Listening Data To the RIAA?" <sarcasm>Since the headline ends in a question mark, everything is clearly fine. It's a question, not a statement.</sarcasm>
- Matt Cutts
Matt - it is called link bait... and TC should know better/try to be better than that. The upside for Arrington is that it is still happening in his absence. See Mike - it wasn't you... it was TC's attitude that caused the invective - not that anything TC did made what happened to you OK.

Integrated but un-deployed code is inventory. Eric Ries says that "Our eventual conclusion was that there was no reason to have code that had passed the integration step but was not yet deployed." http://bit.ly/7OMw / You can apply this thinking to every piece of work-in-process that is not yet in the customer's hands.
