Very cool - http://www.google.com/reader...
This is going to be very interesting to see how this is used. With followers, comments and likes... will this become FriendFeed?

Jackie O, Kyle's Twitter followers grow by computer, not fans - http://thegeekaholic.com/2009...
I am no fan of the Kyle and Jackie O show. In fact I’m viciously opposed to Sandilands even being able to be called an Australian. But for me, the article in the Daily Telegraph is the icing on the cake for the depths of desperation for the shock jocks. It is alleged (but you just know its a fact) that these fools are buying Twitter followers, so they can brag about how much bigger theirs is.

Bad Review Made Worse by Twitter Tirade {Very wise words about the double edged sword of social media} - http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009...
I like the great little case study of what not to do. But I am wondering if anyone has suggestions of how you deal with comments you're unhappy with. Any ideas?

The Geekaholic » How I use Web 2.0 websites and why? - http://thegeekaholic.com/2009...
I know there are a lot of people with opinion s on what are the best social media tools out there. And every week there is another ‘next-big-thing’ that demands that you get on board. And everyone has an opinion which one is best and the only way to stay connected 24/7. But here’s the thing. There isn’t one way (this is kind of an anti-Zen approach to social media). So rather than tell you how to use Web 2.0, let me just tell you what I like to do, and how I use it….. and why.

J.J. Abrams Will Return to Produce Mission: Impossible 4! « FirstShowing.net - http://www.firstshowing.net/2009...
"I am incredibly honored that Tom [Cruise] has invited me back as a producer on Mission Impossible 4," they quote Abrams as saying. Not much else was revealed, except that Tom and J.J. are looking for a screenwriter and that it's uncertain whether J.J. might be interested in directing this (although I doubt it). "Tom and I have come up with a really cool idea we are pursuing."

What's Facebook's secret sauce? I saw this on a whiteboard at Facebook's new headquarters:

I thought this was funny. I saw this on a whiteboard at Facebook's new headquarters (really nice offices, by the way). Some other things:
- Robert Scoble
They hired the chef away from Google. The food was awesome. If you get a chance to have lunch at Facebook's cafeteria, take it!
- Robert Scoble
Impressive how I can see the stuff that's erased behind the secret sauce. I wonder what THAT is.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Almost all the offices were open plan (no walls, sit at a desk). It reminded me a little of Zappos, but without the wildness. They need a little more craziness there, but it's fun that people were riding these cool two-wheeled skateboards around (called Wave boards). Never seen that at any other corporate headquarters.
- Robert Scoble
The "Mega Mustard Man" above is a sign on one of their conference rooms, most of which have funky names.
- Robert Scoble
What was the purpose of your visit Robert (if you don't mind my asking)?
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
They had very cool graffitti that was painted on the walls in the old headquarters. Only a few pieces of that survive, now framed and put on the walls.
- Robert Scoble
funny - good image for someone like Seth Gordon to use in a presentation sometime :)
- Oded
Brian: I was there to do several interviews for http://www.building43.com , which opens June 11.
- Robert Scoble
excellent! can't wait to see what you have in store for us.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
How long has facebook been in this HQ?
- Luke Kilpatrick
Brian: it was an awesome day. I was supposed to only have a couple of minutes with Zuckerberg and he stuck around four four questions.
- Robert Scoble
Luke: just about a week or so. Not very long.
- Robert Scoble
excellent. did you ask him if they figured out that thing we were talking about a while back? let's call it beacon v.next aka the veritable gold mine... *sigh*
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Very interesting you shared all the photos on Facebook. Wasn't expecting that, Robert, but maybe I should have.
- Louis Gray
More videos and photos from Facebook here: http://blog.facebook.com/blog...
- Robert Scoble
Looking forward to June 11th, should be some great content coming to building 43!
- Luke Kilpatrick
Robert, was there an announcement in the descriptions of those photos? Or am I slow at catching a certain date?
- Jesse Stay
Louis: one of the interviews was with the Facebook Pages team and they taught me how to make a cool page. Uploading photos was one of the tricks they taught me. Please become a fan of mine at http://www.facebook.com/scoblei...
- Robert Scoble
Just saw you posted it above too - is that an announcement? :)
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: yes, but it's been out in public before.
- Robert Scoble
Did they say anything about ever allowing you to merge your private and public profiles? I'd like to be able to make my private profile public if I want, and have more friends than the 5k limit as well.
- Jesse Stay
looks good :P

The offices had a LOT more activity today when I visited than in this video.
- Robert Scoble
I'm trying to figure out if I should go ahead and try and do a serious push for all my Facebook friends to go over to my Facebook Page. Or if Facebook is going to let me interact between the two and make it easy to port friends from one to another I'd rather wait.
- Jesse Stay
I also like that the photos I got of Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO, were in front of a Swiss flag. There's a bit of metaphor there because Zuckerberg is trying to push Facebook to be much more open.
- Robert Scoble
Jesse: they said there are more features coming, but wouldn't tell me what they are.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I wish I could get that out of them - I have tons of people asking, local news and media people out here. They're getting frustrated as well.
- Jesse Stay
Vanity URL too - any idea when they're open to the public?
- David Owens

what's the average age of facebook employees? 21?
- Davide D'Incau
Davide: it's pretty low, but I'm not sure what the actual age is. Zuckerberg is 25.

- Jason Pollock
Robert: is there a way to link your accounts - scobelizer and your more "private page" [old account]? I can imagine it would be a bit of a pain to duplicate content across both.
- Angus Burton
Jason: don't ask, don't tell. ;-) I was pretty sure that this wouldn't disclose anything actually secret. Plus PR was standing next to me when I shot the picture.

I put everything (email addys, socmed sites, blog, etc.) on my axon.tel page and then put axon.tel on everything else. I think this TLD will be invaluable as a personal brand hub.

Rule one when naming products: They should not rhyme with "Sumo"
- Steven (optionshiftk)
The new search engines by Microsoft will be called Kumo, and will replace Live Search and become seperate from other Live Services.
- Zachary TG
It's a little known fact that Microsoft's search engine is written in BASIC. (It was BillG's idea.) Further, the source code was accidentally posted to an unprotected FTP server last year & downloaded 9,000 times before it was pulled. I happen to have a copy: 10 PRINT "NO MATCHES, SORRY."
- Pat Rice
(Jeff)isageek - Wouldn't that be Alta Veesta?
- Michael Jones
I can't imagine this really mattering.
- Brett Schulte
Jeff: They'd have to acquire it off Yahoo! first ;)
- Nicholas James
Anything that starts with "Microsoft Unveiling New (insert here)" is sure to provide a good laugh. Made my day, thanks. :)
- Johnny
I wonder how long it will remain known as "kumo" for? I don't think it will last until the end of the year before they rebrand it again - and then they wonder why they keep sucking at search because, they are focusing on rebranding the service rather then actually improving it.
