Looks like the connection between FriendFeed and Twitter is no longer real-time. Wonder who is to blame?
I think it's been that way for a while. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
It has been wildly inconsistent lately. Sometimes it is right on time, other times there is a major delay. - Rob Diana
Paul Bucheit wrote that they no longer had access to Twitter's firehose, so it sounds like it may have had something to do with Facebook's acquiring them, but don't quote me on that. - Jorge Escobar
it's weird that twitter signed a deal to give access to google and bing, but friendfeed seems to have lost that deal. - gregory
Paul or Bret: what is the latest status please? - Steve Gillmor
The latest status? They're busy working valiantly on mincing the glory of their FriendFeed UI into the horror show that is Zuckerberg's Facebook UI. - Akiva Moskovitz
from here to Twitter things are going live - Johni Fisher
It was mentioned previously as being an issue with Twitter. They are polling now. - Louis Gray
what? It's OK now? Or is it true that "Paul Bucheit wrote that they no longer had access to Twitter's firehose, so it sounds like it may have had something to do with Facebook's acquiring them, but don't quote me on that. - Jorge Escobar" - - Steve Gillmor
I am trying to locate the conversation where he said this. But it's clear that Twitter is not giving FF the firehose for *some* reason. And they still aren't. - Jorge Escobar
"The Twitter issue is a separate problem Jorge -- our realtime feed from them is gone, but we hope to get it restored soon. - Paul Buchheit" on Oct 26, 2009 http://friendfeed.com/paul... - Micah Wittman
Parse that as you will. - Micah Wittman
Awesome Micah, I was going nuts for a while. So without going to speculation what do you make of "Twitter's realtime feed from them is gone"? Is it scalability issues? But Google and Bing have no problems? - Jorge Escobar
It's speculation, but I think it's Twitter saying "Ooopsy, now how did that happen? We'll put Top Men on it." and a Friendfeed Alum with "we hope to get it restored" as technically true, but belying that they know or suspect it's a TWTR business decision dragging-of-the-feet and not merely technical. But this can all be cleared up with an official statement :) Maybe I missed it - if so I apologize for wild speculation. - Micah Wittman
Thanx Micah, Jorge. We'll wait for the update from Paul or Bret. - Steve Gillmor
Sounds good :) - Micah Wittman
I wasn't seeing updates from Twitter to Friendfeed for 12 hours, but a manual refresh works ok. It is interesting to note the differences in 'real time' for Friendfeed, Twitter and FaceBook they all behave differently - only one of them seems to be 'real' real time -\ - Chris Loft

I am recovering from Halloween (Sunday morning)... Please talk quieter :P - Johnny Worthington
While you all are waiting to go on the air. A question for Jeff: What's really the common theme for your mediawonks-list on Twitter? - Gabriel
They also weren't doing a browser, an OS and a phone OS - Johnny Worthington
Discussing about Motorola Droid and other Andrioid related stuff today? - Gideon Guillen

what was the big announcement? - Mark
the published audio is only 30 minutes :( where's the rest? - Tom
Inspiring Show! I every much enjoyed your show last week, TWIG: 14. From 54:45 to 57:45 your conversation reached into the higher levels of Maslow's Hierarchy. Public discussions like one (and much more in bits and pieces throughout) are both special and important. I believe that changes in our society have made inspired work much more accessible.

@gwhitescarver Congrats on the Droids. I'm tempted to switch @yes over to Verizon just to get her one.
Tudor Bosman
DROOOoooooID.
how is it? i totally want one. - Jenna Bilotta
Great! Significantly faster than the G1. Better screen. The keyboard will take a bit of getting used to. The default notification sound is a robotic voice saying "DROOOoooooID", thankfully easily changed. - Tudor Bosman
What, why would you change that ? :D - Mo Kargas
*spock eyebrow* LOL - Derrick
The screen is absolutely beautiful. YouTube videos over wifi (bandwidth detection?) are sharp and clear. - Bill Strathearn
Also, it's the first phone I had that does email right; it can easily handle multiple email accounts (two Gmail accounts, both using the Android Gmail client; one IMAP account, and one Exchange account). It seamlessly merges the contacts from the different accounts (and also my Facebook friends) and allows me to configure different notifications for the different accounts. - Tudor Bosman from Android
What about the keyboard - heard it was kinda janky. Though my number one concern is Twitter (need to demo Twittdroid) then UX of 1. mail and 2. SMS - Mona Nomura
The keyboard isn't great. It's not bad, but I think the one on my old G1 was *slightly* better. It's no Blackberry, it's no Sidekick (the Sidekick had the best keyboard, but it was also huge and clunky). There are two different email clients -- one for Gmail (which is awesome, and supports all Gmail features in a very Gmail-y way), and one for other accounts (IMAP/POP, Exchange) which I... more... - Tudor Bosman
I'm actually excited to play with one tomorrow - it sounds a lot more promising than the Pre. - Mona Nomura
Contact integration is really great. You get an address book (which is automatically synced with your Gmail, Facebook, Exchange accounts), and, once you select a contact, you get a list of options (based on where the contact was imported from) -- call / SMS the phone numbers on the account, send an email, chat with them in Google Talk (it shows the Google Talk status right there in the... more... - Tudor Bosman
The wall charger is a generic USB charger, with a USB charging port, which is nice: you can use it to charge any USB-chargeable accessories. The phone comes with a standard USB-to-microUSB cable that can be used for either charging or data transfer. This cable is only 3ft long, which is a pain; come on, Motorola, bundling a 6ft cable would have cost you, what, 15 cents more? - Tudor Bosman

If all @Google's major innovations came from 20% time, why not give everybody 5 different 20% projects and wait for the magic to happen?
That's crazy talk Mr Gray. You have broken the logic quota for today - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
/hangs up logic hat on rack and retires. - Louis Gray
If all the tasty stuff of a cake comes from the sugar, why not use all sugar and no flour, eggs, or milk? ;-) - Amit Patel
Amit the chemist, ladies and gentlemen. - Josh Haley
Because then no one would be on FriendFeed :-P - Jesse Stay
because part of great ideas come from having them, a larger part comes from carrying them out. - Vincent van Wylick
And because public business are in it to make money predictably, not from sporadic ideas that could potentially turn the whole business-model around. - Vincent van Wylick
Because the inspiration often comes from the perspiration of the 80% work. Most people are not able to be inspired 100% of the time, though there are a few at Google who are. - Bill Strathearn
Now how many people thought I was 100% serious on this question instead of just 20%? I'm getting a lot of 100% answers. - Louis Gray
Do all Google's major innovations come from 20% time? I guess we'd have to start by agreeing on what those major innovations were. - Cristo
FriendFeed? - Jesse Stay
Twitter? - Jesse Stay
Is "innovation" the emergence of new competitors from that time? ;-) - Jesse Stay
Maybe Google should give all of their employees 100 1% projects. Then they'd really have a bunch of new ideas. One exception, though; one person gets stuck modifying Gmail to let you see your mail in an unthreaded date plus time received order. - SuezanneC Baskerville
Neither Twitter nor FriendFeed came out of Google 20% time, as far as I know. - Cristo
The all sugar cake is not only sweet and tasty; a big tablespoonful of it swallowed quickly, at the right time, often cures hiccups. - SuezanneC Baskerville
LOL - Thomas Power
I'd bet there are plenty of people at Google who do work this way. - Kevin Gamble
I share this sentiment. There are services that need to be maintained but if you look at the new goodies being developed, it's all about freedom and creativity. Ok that's it I had to add you Louis to my tiny input stream on Twitter. Listing and group following you here wasn't enough. This tweet sealed the deal! - Mark Essel from iPhone
Tudor Bosman
The Droid rocks. It supports multiple Gmail accounts (using the specialized Gmail client), and multiple POP / IMAP / Exchange accounts.
And I don't know anything about the rumors that Verizon would be charging extra for Exchange support; it just worked for me out of the box. - Tudor Bosman
Wait till you get auto-upgraded/charged as they determine your traffic includes Exchange packets. I would like to say I'm being facetious, but I wouldn't put it past VZW. Otherwise, (this part is sans any sarcasm) I'm glad you're enjoying the new phone! 8^D - Chieze Okoye
I actually have an iPhone app called PushGmail that pushes Gmail and separately, I have an Exchange (MS). Then I forward all my Gmails to my main. To conserve on battery, I thoroughly filter and skip inbox on my Gmails... - Mona Nomura

Paul Buchheit
An early birthday present: The Gmail Javascript compiler was just open-sourced! http://code.google.com/closure... (it compiles JS into smaller, faster JS)
We first started work on it almost 8 years ago. It has come a long way since then :) - Paul Buchheit
Happy Birthday Paul! - AJ Batac
Today is actually just my internet birthday. - Paul Buchheit
Well, thanks :) But for a verbose API I'll stick with YUI :P Have to inspect the power of templating and compiler, though. - Claudio Cicali ♋
I wonder what happens when you apply it recursively -- can you get down to 1 byte of code that takes no time to execute? ;=) - Brian Sullivan
Finally! This is great. - Tudor Bosman
Happy Birthday! - Robert Scoble
Nice! - Micah Wittman
Unfortunately it looks like the internationalization features may be missing. I wonder why those were removed? (or if I'm just not seeing it) - Paul Buchheit
Paul you are my best-friend :`( - Onur Gündüz
if you were starting a new site today, would you use this over jquery (which friendfeed uses)? - Karl Rosaen
Karl, jquery is a library, this is a compiler. I would use them both. - Paul Buchheit
well, i mean closure library :) but yeah, they could be used together - Karl Rosaen
ah, i see this is a link closure compiler, not the broader closure tools. - Karl Rosaen
Refactoring, JS style. - Gabe
Now, this is a good news - Ozkan Altuner
@Paul the Closure project has three components: compiler, library, and template language. Looks like the Closure/library might be competing with jQuery. - Shakeel Mahate
this is sweet! - Jay
I think jQuery does a lot of stuff that might confuse the compiler, e.g. iterating over an array of string function names and creating new function wrappers (look at the way the parent/child/next/prev/etc functions get installed) The Closure library is also full of type annotations that help the compiler make better optimization choices, so you're likely to get a better compiled outcome using Closure than jQuery + fixes + compiler - Ray Cromwell
@paul -- I know you've been wanting this opensourced for a long time. sorry it took such a long time. Nick Santos and the jscompiler team has finally done it! Cheers! - Jing Lim
Happy Birthday - ashish
Many happy returns!! - Drop dead, gorgeous!
Happy Birthday, Paul! - Andrew Terry
Happy Birthday Paul - Sandeep Kalidindi
Happy B'day Paul! don't be evil :) - sirishkumar
Congratulations to the team (and @Paul & Jing) -- I know everyone's been waiting a long time for this. For anyone considering whether to use jQuery vs Closure, consider that they're meant for largely different purposes. jQuery's good for enhancing static web pages; Closure's much better at building large apps. And as Ray points out above, Closure the library is going to get much better results from Closure the compiler than an arbitrary js library would, because of all the type annotations. - Joel Webber
Paul Buchheit has been at the top of my best of pages all month. Rock on, Paul. - Donald C. Lindsay
Hey HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL !!! Cool present!! <insert CAKE> :D - Susan Beebe

I just opened the link and I'm kind of astounded. I had no idea what a deep influence Paul had over at Google. Created GMail? I am in awe. That plus Friendfeed and many other accomplishments.

Even more surprising than @dondodge is that Microsoft laid off @OffbeatAriel, she did the http://www.microspotting.com blog

Amazon should partner with the ACM for one-click Kindle downloads of Digital Library research papers http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm. @werner
Right now it is a several step process. Log in to ACM, download PDF, email to Kindle (at $0.15/MB). Not that hard, but a partnership would encourage more people to read more research papers. - DeWitt Clinton
A very good idea, indeed. - Alex Kapranoff
