For the most part, I've completely moved over to digital. As an owner of hundreds of DVDs and CDs it was sort of tough initially, but once I made that jump, I haven't gone back. Like you mention, adding new HDDs and backing them up and securing them is so much easier than managing the shelves and boxes where I have to keep all my physical media. The next step is all the video games that...

@Robert Consoles have already begun to offer full retail games via download. Just see the Xbox originals and Burnout for the PS3. The problem still lies in the fact that you will have to download about 5 GBs of data for one game. And I don't think that the bandwidth will be sufficient enough for most people for at least another two cycles.

I use Movable Type and tried the new TypePad Connect Beta but quickly switched to Intense Debate after I saw it being used on Change.gov. It integrates perfectly into my site with very little tweaking. I'm also trying out the new Google Friend Connect on my site as well. It's not as slick as Intense Debate but, of course, Google comes with such a large base of users so.... I haven't tried Disqus.

Here it is. Asking again: Informative or Irresponsible?
- Mona Nomura
"Just today, I saw a bunch of Tweets from a FOAF (friend of a friend) detailing work, client, and vendor relations." How much of this is FF's responsibility in providing more granular control over what FOAF and other information we want to see from the firehose? Also, I think many are utterly clueless as to the reach of the FOAF relays and some would be horrifically offended that their content is reflected beyond the first-order circle they understand and explicitly linked up with.
- michael silverton
"tweets represent who we are" nicely put. so what does our FF feeds represent when tweets are just a subset of it?
- ~C4Chaos
@C4Chaos Just now processing that very question; foraging for my own analogies. I'm sure others have them and I'd very much like to hear them if ppl willing to share. However, I don't fully agree that "tweets represent who we are." That seems a hugely presumptuous leap to make about people from 140char nano-samples of a complete human being; complete human beings with a vast range of grammatical and other abilities.
- michael silverton
Part 2: I can of course debunk myself with: Tweets are text representations of thoughts; however artfully or ineptly expressed. Thoughts are electrochemical spikes; empirically. In a substrate-independent context, those excitatory and inhibitory spikes are arguably the Totality of Our Cognitive Existence. So it's certainly not a bad idea to get used to in the context of a posthuman trajectory. ;-)

@felix: I think the point is that acquiring an old computer for the sole purpose of salvaging a copy of XP is cheaper than downgrading from Vista. So an old computer + XP = cheaper than Vista + downgrading to XP (not cheaper than the new computer + downgrading). Not as "duh" as it seems.
- Jan Dawson

If those used computers were originally bundled with WinXP OEM aren't they *not* transferable (legal technicality-wise)?

That was fascinating. I've been on the Techmeme site possibly 3 times, but I felt like I understood their methodology fairly well by the end of that.
- Andrew
Techmeme is a strange beast - it doesn't drive readership like Digg, Reddit, or Stumbleupon, and probably doesn't even have too many mainstream readers, but it's a watering hole for the tech blogging crowd and having a story appear there will lead to other people linking to you in return. I think that's what makes it influential.
- Frederic
Frederic, the numbers don't support that. Among a small number of people, I won't disagree with you (and we could probably argue about the definition of influential as well....) but if it was truly influential, those numbers would be different. YHackerNews is just as influential on these numbers as well :-)
- Duncan Riley
Oh the stories I wish I could tell.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Gregory, true, and I don't begrudge him that at all. Mark, I'm sure you could :-) This is the relevant line though in your direction "Mashable has had 9 headlines on Techmeme over September and October (at the time of writing) vs TechCrunch’s 245 headlines." :-)
- Duncan Riley
You have a "techmeme isn't important" meme
- Jason Carreira
TM is a tiny driver of traffic for us, though, of course the fact we've had just 9 headlines in two months has something to do with that. However, as Frederic points out, it definitely does drive links from other high ranking sources, which in turn improves Technorati ranking (which is perhaps why Mashable has slipped a few spots there recently). As for having a story hit Digg FP versus very top story on TM, I'd say Digg traffic is about 10:1 winner.
- Adam Ostrow
Techmeme isn't half as interesting since FriendFeed came out. By the way, ads on it are $5,500. That's what Fast Company paid for its ads on one month recently.
- Robert Scoble
A few months ago I tried hard to get my blogposts up on Techmeme. Today, for the very first time, a post of mine was a primary link on Techmeme (as a result of having a guest post on TechCrunch). But the reality is that the traffic flow has never been high. (Sorry, Gabe.)
- John McCrea
So @robertscoble they are half as interesting... but still worth dropping 5.4K on for a month?
- thomasrdotorg
thomasrdotorg: in this economy? No. Also, Gabe made a very specific choice to try to compete with Google News. I think that actually hurt him. It made FriendFeed more interesting and now I'm seeing FriendFeed traffic go way up. FriendFeed, Twitter, and Google Reader drive me more traffic than TM does.
- Robert Scoble
what aggregators have people used to replace techmeme? i don't have time for lots of google reader and appreciate a one page snapshot of top stories
- @baratunde
Baratunde, here in lies on of Gabe's long term advantages, no one has ever really come out with a strong direct competitor. Tailrank and Wikio tried, but didn't come close (there was another one or two for memory). All it will take is for some kick ass programing and a real direct competition and bingo, Techmeme will die
- Duncan Riley
Duncan, what would your ideal solution be? This would be a fun project to tackle.
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Duncan: the problem is most normal people get their news from Google or Yahoo's news sites or something like Netvibes. When TechMeme really only had blogs, it was unique and different. Now I see too many press releases and news that is very similar (but far less complete in many cases) than Google News or Yahoo. So, what's its differentiator? I don't see one. Most people will go to Digg instead of TM.
- Robert Scoble
Tell me, what's better? TechMeme or this: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... -- TechMeme has a better layout, but FriendFeed has better content.
- Robert Scoble
I think what's needed is a site, almost the same as TechMeme, but which stories voted to the top were decided by democracy, not everyone, but a large group of well-established, proven people that choose the stories. Choice by committee, rather than dictatorship.
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
++Robert
- Mo Kargas
Actually, what I'm talking about sounds like a FriendFeed Room. :-)
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Jesse: the problem is that noise goes up as the group gets larger. It's a complicated problem. I'd like to see some combination of dictatorship and "Likes" from a larger group.
- Robert Scoble
Jesse, forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't your idea sort of like Digg?
- Mo Kargas
Mo, Digg gets voted on by the wrong demographic though - it's 1) too slow, and 2) too Geeky
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Robert, what if we took a friendfeed room, moderated by a small group of admins, and top stories liked to the top, then fed those stories over to a main site somewhere?
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Jesse: that could work. But you'd need to hand pick the people in it. Sort of like my list. I wish I had a lot of ways to view the data and display it. I have to think about it more, though. It's not an easy problem. Techmeme is actually pretty good at catching blogs. While I link a LOT to Duncan's stuff, I can see why Techmeme doesn't.
- Robert Scoble
I guess that still doesn't solve the problem of the "meme" - an automated process would need to track "memes", and have an unbiased means of voting memes out if they're not real news
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Robert +10 :-) Jesse, there was an open source effort around Drupal a while back to build a techmeme clone anyone can use. I haven't checked in on it in maybe 2-3 months. They had an alpha when we did QMeme, but it was way too hard for me to set up. The problems with lists of sites isn't really an issue, the key is matching a list of sites with incoming links...the code is the problem where others have struggled
- Duncan Riley
Jesse, either way it sounds like some sort of elite will push the stories, even in a 'democratic' system that will occur.
- Mo Kargas
my skill set is coding/ programing isn't strong enough, and I've gone through 3 different outsourcing teams in the past (before I ended up a TC) trying to build one for me. I'd think that you could use the Google API to match to some extent, so you wouldn't have to spider everything yourself
- Duncan Riley
The other problem is that bloggers aren't linking to each other as much lately, so there's less metadata to study. Techmeme is going more off of a list of what sites have done in past (which is how Gabe can put his thumb on the scale). That way if no one links Techmeme will rank us anyway based on our past behavior. It's why when I break Rackspace news today I'm below other people who came in later.
- Robert Scoble
If there was some way to intelligently detect memes by language, and then have a final filtering process by people (probably a group of people, not a single individual), I think it could work. Not an easy or quick project though.
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
The other thing I'd like to see is a Technorati for actual Tech blogs. Is there such thing?
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Robert, agree on the linking side, a post in that direction in on my possible list at the moment. Kip, I didn't say influential = traffic, and perhaps I should have explained it better (so my bad). But Gabe/ Techmeme was named in the 25 most influential sites on the web. It's not. It's not even close. We can easily have a long argument about influence (as I noted in my response to Frederic), but here's what I'll concede (as I did in the post): Techmeme is influential among some people. It comes down to
- Duncan Riley
whether the site is influential in a broader sense to gain that tag in the way it has been applied, at the extreme by BusinessWeek, but to a lesser extent, within the tech blogging community. It isn't, and that's what the numbers show. You could name a site influential that has 100 page views a month if every person hitting the site ran a country or owned a Fortune 500 company. But in any objective measure, Techmeme is not broadly, or even broadly in the tech community influential
- Duncan Riley
My bad also Kip in that I started the post with Influential, but actually talked about three things: influence, traffic, and objectivity. In retrospect I should have reworded the opening, but the context started with the Businessweek post that said Influence + traffic driving

and I'm still dumb-founded that other sites can be heaping praise on this site. 10c to play when everyone else is free...WTF x100! :-)

I just read a line in another review, apparently paying 10c a song is "extremely addictive." WTF? paying money is addictive? really, when everyone else is free? lol

Somewhat surprised until it sold the show to Dodge (?) which gave it shorter commercial breaks. Least for one show, which meant it was getting some traction. It's been half-way decent actually. Summer Glau is fantastic, Brian Austin Green is working out and Shirley Manson is a nice addition.

I haven't downloaded this in ages, but should catch up, I quite enjoyed the first 6 or so episodes

That's a pretty sweet promo pic - but then I'm a sucker for shotguns ;¬) I've been meaning to watch this, but my viewing habits these days revolve around seasons not episodes. I'd rather watch a string of them together than each individually, much like with Lost or Heroes. I like closure :¬P

"Woah, calm down Suible. What I would suggest, rather than scorching the earth, is to just re-enable Blogger comments by default. This way, your new posts will use the Blogger comment system, and your Disqus comments will remain intact."

Pay people to read your book and then have them talk about it in their blog post. Think of it as payed review! Good PR, would make others want to read it. Each blogger has his or her audience!

"I have been a vocal opponent to services that are advertising-only. I think that route is the easy way, and one that's short sighted in a world when people are increasingly moving to ad-blocking software, and choosing to ignore advertising altogether. I would hope that those people who are content producers do so because they have news to share, enjoy their craft and have unique insight, rather than tweaking their content to attract more ad dollars. For me, it is about the conversation. I recognize that I do view the stats to get a good idea as to what's working, but you will not find me hyping my stories, begging for Diggs and Stumbles. I believe that if those happen, they should come naturally."
