Jimmy, what makes you a KDE supporter? I like the eye candy, but GNOME just seems so much more usable with better apps... - Justin Hopkins

I'm guessing this is the Flickr account you were looking for earlier: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Edward Coffey

How many total topics on the English site? - David Damore

hi jimmy, it was nice to meet you at digital hollywood last week. - sean percival

The usability project sounds really cool. - Bruce Lewis

weird question for you, but think you will enjoy Mr. Wales. Given the current economic times, what are your thoughts of bringing 'Atlas Shrugged' to the big screen? It's a film that they've been trying to make happen for a long time but many stalls. Do you think it can be translated efficiently? - michael sean wright

Does this mean the end of "wiki syntax"? - Justin Hopkins

See it on the site: "2,873,893 articles in English" Thanks. - David Damore

How can he be live on FriendFeed? Where is his account? - Louis Gray

I'd love to hear a compare/contrast of strength/weakness/synergy of Wikipedia and Wolfram|Alpha... - Justin Hopkins

@Louis Gray: Try http://friendfeed.com/jimmywa... - David Damore

could see wikipedia using Calais overlay from Reuters. Contextual meta-data mapping. - michael sean wright

Uh..who? - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Be interested in Jimmy's view on what the Wikipedia should do about links to the now deleted IHT.com website. Could a rival publication to the NY Times replace those links? More details: http://bit.ly/fGsqG - Thomas Crampton from twhirl

Wikipedia founder I think ... - Patrick Jordan

Robert, please ask Mr. Wales about 'Atlas Shrugged' - does he ever see it being translated as a movie. (he's a student of Objectivism.) - michael sean wright

Thanks Robert. Great chat. - David Damore

ok, so we went old school via phone. Thank you - for your insight- and great conversation Robert. - michael sean wright

Robert, went to Mr. Wales Wiki page while we were on the phone. I use Feedly and look what came up on the right when the page loaded. How about that for the future! - picture here - http://skitch.com/nicefis... - michael sean wright

Can I ask him, who the*#!! is he? - Mike Shields

Mike: Just the guy who started wikipedia. :-) - Robert Scoble

What I really like about iKnow is that there's a semantic piece to it, analyzing content you select on any other site and turning it into a lesson. So say you want to learn about wine, direct it to a wine-lover's site or info on wine in Freebase and it turns it into a lesson. Full disclosure: I screened this company so am slightly biased. ; ) - Carla Thompson

You should buy Google first and make a new design at their favicon^^Buying YouTube : is it serious or viral? - Samuel Goëta

Hmmm, merging with Friendfeed?-) - Patrick Chanezon

Great decision with the acquisition Loic, hope you already know how to deal with copyrighted content over there :) - Svetlana Gladkova

Svetlana, yes, I found a solution with copyrighted content on Google, we will turn off video upload on YouTube. - Loic Le Meur

Loic, I hope you aren't going to turn it all off, I like some of the things over there especially the record companies who put up there content for people to listen to and enjoy!! - Paul

Of course... everything should be filmed real-time! Even the copyrighted material... :) - directeur

Lend me $20? - john conroy

Turning the uploads off is definitely a clever solution. Why have not the guys from Google thought of that yet? - Svetlana Gladkova from twhirl

ok so as you could see I could not raise enough money to by YouTube yet. I found $6M and would have needed $6 billions... - Loic Le Meur

OOps, I guess that M and B in $6M and $6B are a slight bit different ;*) - Susan Beebe

I'm buying Youtube too! - Dave Winer

Dave are you buying Youtube too? Ah. We're competing then, we should talk to try not to make the acquisition price not go too high. - Loic Le Meur

I offered them $82 billion, maybe I should try lowering the offer? - Dave Winer

Let's see, I've got a dime, a penny and a piece of gum with pocket lint all over it. Can I buy a share? - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

Dave, you are definitely pushing the prices too high, not good for any of us, let's agree on the right market value. I am happy to leave it to you if you do a good API I can work on. - Loic Le Meur
