This is really helpful....still wrapping my head around FF.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Great post. I use FriendFeed as a Yahoo! Pipes replacement. Set up a FF account, bring in all your favorite RSS feeds, publish your FF to Twitter, and get updates in Twitter when there are updates to your favorite blogs. Great for industry specific Twitter groups. Wish you could do this in Rooms rather than having to set up a new FF account. Both the FF and Twitter accounts can be private, too.

Decreasing Connections While Increasing Our Networks - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/decreas...

This illustrates a major issue I have been whining about for a long time. We join a network, we get attached to it (the network's features, not the following or the people there), then we try and get others to join as well. In the long run, we are drawn to content rather than to design. It is the short term flings kill our social life.

I think this is also why it's not an either/or proposition between Twitter and FriendFeed. Twitter imo will have broader appeal as a simple way to send one to many messages. FF appeals (perhaps with deeper engagement levels) to those who want to easily carry the conversation/discussion further. Both are great for personal branding -- hence their adoption by the technorati.

Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance.

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction

I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is

Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :)

540 terabytes doesn't seem all that big.
- Louis Gray
It may be bigger than flickr but the pictures are actually used on flickr rather than being locked up to a profile and a few hundred friends.
- Rahul Das
it's a lot, especially considering they downsample images. i.e. your 1.2mb jpg gets reduced to 128kb on FB. The original resolution is lost. So 540 TB is a lot of downsampled images!
- Mark J. Feldman
AFAIK photos on Facebook can be seen by anybody - http://radio.weblogs.com/0127028...
- Brian Sullivan
Flickr has about 2.5 billion images.
- Ole Begemann
I suspect that Gmail has both more images, and more image data. Email is still what many "regular" people use for photo sharing, amazingly.
- Paul Buchheit
540TB is puny for 30B images. 19.3KB/photo average. SmugMug has more storage and only ~325M photos.
- Don MacAskill
Facebook limits photos to 5Mb each and 50 photos per album, though.

The ratio on comments on my Facebook photos to comments on my Flickr photos is probably about 20:1, despite the ratio of number of Facebook photos to number of Flickr photos being about 1:10. Comments are nice, especially for hacks like me that aren't going to get any attention -- deservedly so -- from the folks on Flickr.
- Kirk Kittell
But do you trust Facebook?
- Andrew Feinberg
@Andrew: Do I trust them to host my photos? Is that what you mean? Or is that a more general question?
- Kirk Kittell
I mean do you trust them to host your photos and not use them without your permission? Their TOS lets them use your information for promotional purposes and sell to advertisers. Flickr lets you choose how your photos are licensed. Think about it.
- Andrew Feinberg
I use a non-commercial license on Flickr. However, it's a minor issue to me how Facebook handles the photos. The primary reason I use Facebook to share photos is because I will get some reaction from my contacts. I'd trade that aspect for losing control of a few photos any day. If I wasn't a hack, I might change my stance. But I'm a hack. If I don't share on Facebook, I have no reason to think anyone sees my photos, and that's a loss, I think.
- Kirk Kittell
@Andrew Feinberg: I think that's an excellent point, but I think you'd be shocked at how many people just don't care. First, the re-use of their photos isn't important to them, second, they think their photos aren't worth re-using, and third, they think of it as a cost to pay for the free service. I don't get it, but tons of people think that way.
- Don MacAskill
Photography for me is a hobby, so I don't care what anyone does with my pictures. Indeed, all on flickr are CC-licensed.
- Prolific Programmer
Mine are CC also and have been used by some high-traffic blogs and others. But, the choice to allow that is mine alone. Facebook has enough money and user data, they don't need anything else from me.
- Andrew Feinberg
@Andrew - I'd trust Facebook over Flickr, since it's not Flickr's policies you should be worrying about, it's Yahoo's - and they definitely have not been playing nice with Flickr users since they took over ...
- cerement
@Prolific Programmer The limit for photo's is 60, 3 pages of 20!
- Joe Dawson
I don't think that comparing sheer volume really tells anyone anything useful. It's not surprising to me that Facebook would lead on this metric - people literally dump their whole memory card there, uploading hundreds of snapshots from the same party. But all photos are not created equal, and what I've never seen on Facebook though is anything that might be considered *photography*. For that, Flickr clearly rules the roost.

Scoble needs an intern who can follow him around, hold the camera, check the chat, FF, etc. while he is on these panels. The intern could relay important info to him through an ear piece. That would free him up and allow him to stay engaged. People aren't as good at multi-tasking as they think.

The problem with McCain's statement is that it reveals a lack of intellectual curiosity about strategic developments in the world that are affecting us all. He seems to be out of touch with what is going on in the real world, and becoming more out of touch with each passing day. This situation is not going to improve -- he is in a state of mental decline. Without puppeteers at his elbow, like Joseph Lieberman, he would be completely adrift.

- jcunwired
The key issue IMO is that the Internet is one of the key drivers that is transforming the economy. And if you don't "get" that, then you won't understand how we need to change how the gov't interacts with the economy. New leadership should "get" alternative energy, the Internet, biotech and other key transformational technologies. That way, we can spearhead efforts (funding, education, etc) to lead in those areas. It's not enough to simply be aware they exist.

That must explain why he doesn't know what a blogger is - OH WAIT he has been holding regular conference calls with bloggers for over a year now. to @jasonburton's point - last time I checked the president does not run the internet so what exactly about that example makes sense? Should we now make computer literacy a prerequisite for serving as an elected official? Trust me - I wish he wouldn't have said it but until someone can prove to me that not being tech savvy is a prerequisite for leadership...
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
@Kirk Kittell - That's the wrong comparison. What you said (playing violin necessary to understand music) would mean that he's asked to be a programmer to understand technology. No, it's enough to use it - much like I demand somebody to like to listen the music they say they understand. So as long as he's not actually used the internet, a word processor and simple stuff like that, I think it's a save assumption that he doesn't understand anything. Well, he doesn't understand economy too, by his own account.
- sebmos
American's generates more Internet related innovation particularly in content generation, and social media but there are many other countries leading in eGov services. Looks like McCain won't be helping you guys out with the digitisation of your Gov services anytime soon.
- Roger Kondrat
Marco - would tech savvy requirement in this day and age be such a bad thing?
- jason burton
@jason absolutely not (although "requirement" may be a bit extreme) - just trying to point out that alot of the comments are illogical and unnecessarily extreme. I would love it if McCain was a mobile computing, FriendFeeding maniac but someone can be a good President without having to be tech savvy. (I say that knowing full well that McCain's lack of tech capabilities is far from the only problem most people on this thread have with McCain.)
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
@sebmos - Yeah, I might be off a bit (though in your example, I'd compare the programmer to the music composer, but I get you). The point I'm really getting as is that I don't hold this against him at all. He doesn't need to understand the technology or use a computer to be President -- as long as he is the best guy to lead the nation and is open to appointing the right people to positions that need those skills. I might have voted for him in 2000, but not this year; he's not a Luddite, perhaps, but close.
- Kirk Kittell
McCain isn't the President for me. I'm looking for a president that understands how to get in touch with my generation, and the internet is my primary source of information. If McCain doesn't use a computer and can't tap into that stream of info, he's going to have a hard time understanding what I want and how to give it to me. I'm not faulting him for his computer illiteracy, I just know that unless you use the same general set of tools that I use, we're going to be out of sync.
- Nick Malaguti
Presidents need a deep understanding of Government, International relations and defense strategy. They need to have experience working with other government members.

The next president will have to deal with an issue more important than net neutrality - oil. Does McCain know how to change the oil in his car? Does Obama? Barr? McKinney? Nader? (Oh, Nader probably rides a bicycle.)
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
The fact that McCain graduated near the bottom of his class at Annapolis, is nearly as inarticulate and incoherent as George W. Bush, and is under the thumb of the same neoconservatives who engineered the worst foreign policy disaster in American history (the Iraq War), is probably more significant than the fact that McCain hasn't demonstrated the slightest intellectual interest in a...

Wow, I can't believe that a candidate would lack computer skills some 20 years after they've been in use. I suppose he's had secretaries, law clerks and aids his entire professional life so he didn't *need* to use a computer per se. This is astounding to me and clearly seems untenable for a Presidential candidate today.

Typical. Mozilla tries to set a world record helping ALL of us have a choice when it comes down to the web browser. And when they hare having trouble keeping up the pace the Elite screams "FAIL"? I don't think the elite appreciates enough what Mozilla has brought us! I say Firefox is the best!!!!!!!
directeur, Franklin Pettit, Gavin and 11 other people liked this
I didn't scream FAIL. I just said it was down. Anyway, if you're going to have a contest and you can't keep up with the load that's both good (contest is going well) and notable (cause you didn't have enough server capacity or whatever to keep it all up).
- Robert Scoble
think about a world without Mozilla Firefox. Think about a world dominated by Internet Explorer. Think about closed instead of open. Who are we to judge them right now? They are doing a hell lot of more to make the Internet a better place than all these loudmouths out here!
- Alexander van Elsas
Alexander: the loudmouths bring hype. Hype brings new users. It's all good.
- Robert Scoble
Well I wasn't referring to you Robert ;-) But it is so typical. I love the browser and the dudes that are creating it together. If there isn't enough server capacity I can only hope it is because no one has ever even remotely tried to create such a shitload of downloads ;-)
- Alexander van Elsas
Well said.
- Russellreno
That's true Robert.
- Alexander van Elsas
It's really easy to judge from the sideline, while at the same time MG Siegler and a few more are HAPPILY running their FF browser every day, thanking god and anyone else on their knees they don't have to use IE. I love choice, and choice is what Mozilla has brought us
- Alexander van Elsas
well said, this wasn't planned well, but this is nothing like creating such a great web browser.
- Hassan Ibraheem
I don't understand why nobody has put FF3 Release up on Bittorrent somewhere. I guess cuz it would affect the world record.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I'd like to think of a world where people think in terms of "usability" and "meets demand" than terms like "free" or "open." If I can't save the world, princess, cheerleader, and the internet from the evil clutches of Lex Luthor, Ganon, Sylar, and Microsoft because I can't download your stupid software (you know the one you keep telling me is better than sliced bread?), it's not my fault, it's yours. Make your stuff work (that includes your delivery mechanism), then worry about saving us from evil.
- Mark Trapp
@Alexander - completely agree that FF3 is the best browser out there - but if somebody tries to very publicly break a world record and their infrastructure can't handle it - then that's newsworthy (at least in our small tech world) - FAIL is just the meme of the day to go with it
- Frederic
What's ironic Mark, is that Microsoft would be able to handle day 1 downloads better than this. People are quick to defend what they like, even if what they like is failing. :) The truth hurts.
- Bwana ☠
I'm thinking there is a whole army of volunteers trying to to their best, while we sit back and have a laugh. Sorry guys, I'm not with you on this one. Sure they "might" have done a better job. But it is their world record attitude that got us Firefox. We should appreciate that a bit more.
- Alexander van Elsas
In the same breath we're calling fail, we're advocating and spreading the word to go get it. It's not as black and white as you may think.
- Bwana ☠
too bad that the enthusiasm and massive numbers that a call to download a piece of software couldn't be directed to a continued pressure on some *real* social issues .. you know those things that social media claims to care about .. but I guess software is more important.
- Steven Hodson
Mozilla isn't some small, poor open source project, it's a very wealthy company with an army of employees. If Mozilla blew Firefox 1's download day, I wouldn't have criticized them. Today they are a big company, making more profits than most Silicon Valley-startups combined. One can expect more professionality than that. So yes, we know where we would be without Firefox, but that's no excuse for poor management. (I expect high uptime from Google, too, even though the world would be worse without them.)
- sebmos
I happily scream FAIL. i'm forgiving to startups, but if a company like mozilla purposefully sets out to have everyone download their software at the same exact time to get a record that doesn't exists and its crashes their servers, that is a FAIL. -- and for the record, I don't use FF everyday. I prefer Camino, also made by Mozilla.
- MG Siegler
@Alexander van Elsas I don't think any of us fail to appreciate the value the that Firefox has brought the world. But look, they wanted to set a world record and they couldn't handle their own success. MG is pointing that out. I think you're seeing bogeymen where there are none. Also, FF has been nearly unusable on my Mac (and many other Macs) for years. Yeah, Camino, like what MG said.
- Eric Eldon
Eric, we all know stories of athletes preparing years for the Olympic games only to fail during the trials, or even teh finals. Who are we to say FAIL. They know that already. All we can do is admire the incredible effort they put into it
- Alexander van Elsas
Alexander, I'm a reporter so it's not my role to admire everyone who tries anything -- although I also think the human spirit is a great thing. My goal is to be honest with our readers about what's actually happening in the world. As we're also a blog, we include opinions. MG and I happen to be underwhelmed by Firefox's performance. I don't think we're doing anything wrong here by being critical.
- Eric Eldon
Eric, being a reporter is fin, being critical as a reporter is fine too. I just happen to have a different opinion on this. I think Mozilla has done something no one has done before. They have successfully melted down their servers because so many people in the world want to have that browser (I hope so!). The execution might not be the best (who knows though how much traffic they are getting), but I like it ;-)
- Alexander van Elsas
Yeah, I definitely see what you're saying. I'm happy for them, too, in that sense.
