Harvard Study: From 1930s-2004, NY Times called waterboarding torture in 81.5% of articles, LA Times in 96.3%. Yet from 2002‐2008, NYT did so in only 1.4% and LA Times in 4.8%. The WSJ? 1.6% (1 of 63 articles) and USA Today never called waterboarding torture or implied it was torture. [PDF] - http://www.reddit.com/r...

I hope someone is paying attention to polling on the popularity of the public option. Wondering if it will surface during the WH conference, during the subsequent 60-day march to passage, or not at all.
- Michael Markman
Putting the public option in the WH proposal would have left the President open to the accusation of bad faith negotiation, since it is the sacred cow of the left and the demon of the right. If there's 51, they can add it via the same process that adopts the President's version.
- Karoli
Although, he'll be accused of that anyway.
- Cliff Gerrish
there's a difference between a hollow accusation and one with substance. Inclusion would have substantiated the claim. On the hierarchy of popularity, the public option ranks above tort reform and below pre-existing, insurance exchanges, and repeal of anti-trust exemptions.
- Karoli
I'm getting frustrated that former FriendFeed supporters have all but forgotten to mention their roots in FF in their quest to now support Buzz. They are now telling their followers cool things about Buzz as thought they didn't exist before in FriendFeed (and still do). I still say the water's fine here.

I say use names. For example, in this post, I mentioned FriendFeed right away. http://www.google.com/buzz... Also, in practically all coverage of Buzz, I mention FriendFeed. I want to convert who you call "former FriendFeed supporters" to real people's names.
- Louis Gray
Louis, I'm not talking about you. I'm specifically talking about Robert Scoble in this reference, amongst others I've seen that used to push FriendFeed so hard. You can pretty much see this from my stream before and after I posted this. It's disappointing, and the thing is, when FriendFeed or Facebook releases their next version, they'll all come back as though nothing ever happened. It "bugs" me.
- Jesse Stay
Then just say Robert, please. :) I am not suggesting defensiveness on my behalf, but a lack of names makes anybody supporting Buzz look guilty. I am supporting products I like, as I always have, and trying to do so in a fair lens.
- Louis Gray
I always mention FriendFeed when talking about buzz's features. Maybe too much ;) But yeah, it's sad if former FF supporters have quickly forget it.
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
Because saying Robert just makes it all about Robert. He will come in, write a comment and run. I think Jesse was speaking in general
- Johnny
It was Robert that inspired my comment, I admit. It does apply on a much broader scale though. I am not talking about Louis Gray here, to be specific. Louis has still been pretty faithful to the FriendFeed community IMO.

Johnny, I understand that. But Jesse's general comment used supporters plural, so I want to see more than one.

Agree, all the good things in Buzz are from FriendFeed. I keep mentioning FF on Buzz, so much so it must be annoying people. But Buzz really needs to take more features from FF.
- Kol Tregaskes
FF is still superior technology and innate usability, I love how there is no advertising. Something about a mature community. Buzz has a lot of tension from the novelty. Tension is good also. They are different. I cant say which is better for everyone.
- Robert Higgins
It would help the discussion if succinct descriptions of the features were more widely understood. Then it would be easier to convey to users which Friendfeed features are available in Buzz, and those that are not.
- Mike Chelen
I suspect the reason is the size of the potential audience - write about buzz is more likely to get you attention than write about ff
- Iphigenie
I find it hard to gin up any enthusiasm for blogging about Buzz. I might as well re-run my FriendFeed posts.
- Hutch Carpenter
I totally agree but......you are surely all aware that friendfeed's big problem was not catching on with the masses (and many of you who use it didn't want it to, be honest!) but you can't sustain an application which is only used by a 'clique' of individuals. You NEED the masses to use it. Google Buzz because its incorporated into Gmail already has the potential to 'catch on' with the...

Still finding a very bad signal to noise ratio in Buzz. Happier in FF. I'm not supporting Buzz—though I expect that I will in the future when Buzz to learns to support me.
- Michael Markman
Michael: you have got to be kidding, right? You should see my "Best of day" here. It's all noise and lame stuff.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I did see that post. I still don't understand why you have to completely neglect FriendFeed. There is still *huge* potential over here, and it's *much* further along than Buzz. BTW, I never look at the Best of Day. IMO it's inaccurate for the value I get from FF.
- Jesse Stay
Robert, using yourself as a test case is riddiculous (and I don't mean to harp on you here), but you follow and are followed by far far more than the average FF user. Why don;t you do what you did on twitter and create a seperate account just for yourself and follow a few select people on it. Then you will see the FF experiance that the rest of us see.
- Roberto Bonini
Jesse: I actually dislike what FriendFeed is. When I say Google Buzz copied its worst features that should say something to you. I was excited about FriendFeed for what it could someday become.

- Robert Scoble
Robert, I guarantee you Paul Buchheit is working on something very FriendFeed related. I don't have inside knowledge on that, but he has been way to quiet on complaints here recently. Whatever it is I'm pretty dang sure they won't neglect FriendFeed when it launches. I'm betting those that stay here will benefit the most from it.
- Jesse Stay
I don't think it's a waste of time to be sending people here - Facebook would have told us by now if it was.
- Jesse Stay
The interface of both FriendFeed and Buzz are user hostile — that of course appeals to a geek audience but doesn't bode well in the long term. The joy of Twitter and Facebook is a clean interface which makes it enjoyable to use. To me FriendFeed has already been rolled into Facebook and Buzz is just Plurk 2.0, so you can expect to see the geek audience fracture even further. But if you're really a purist we can all go back to thewell.com and gripe that Slashdot is getting all of the web fame.
- Michael Pinto
Jesse: I totally disagree. But we'll see how it works out. I don't think FriendFeed is seeing any additional work. I do agree that Facebook will copy FriendFeed's BEST features (unlike Buzz, which copied its worst). Things like filtering, er, real time search, and decentralized moderation, etc.
- Robert Scoble
I'm included to agree. The recent slowness of FF suggests that theres work being done on it.
- Roberto Bonini
The clean interface of Facebook? Kevin's recent (weeks recent) taming of FB's UI is real progress, but before that, oye.
- Micah
Robert, whether that be in Facebook or on FriendFeed, I've always said they won't neglect the FriendFeed audience. I'm willing to bet those that stay benefit the most from it. I'm also betting Facebook hired the FriendFeed team because they knew Buzz was on its way.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: the FriendFeed audience is a wart on the ass of Facebook. Just what do you think they are going to do? They certainly aren't going to merge the social graph I built here into the one I have on Facebook. How would they do that? Hint: they can't.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, sure they can - there are API calls to do it, too. I could write the code that does what you claim they can't do, without even access to the Facebook Firewall.
- Jesse Stay
Robert, remember what Paul said way back when FB bought FF: http://friendfeed.com/paul...
- Roberto Bonini
Roberto - be sure to read my post above. That's what we're talking about.
- Jesse Stay
My point is there's no sense in giving up on FriendFeed until we see the Butterfly. We haven't seen what Paul has up his sleeves yet. We've seen everyone's cards but Paul's thus far.
- Jesse Stay
Remember - Paul is the Walrus
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: well, if that happens I'll be very happy. I did invest two years of my life and thousands of hours here and it'd be nice to see my social graph move over to Facebook Pages. I'd also like to see the stream mixing capabilities that Twitter has. I can't mix your Facebook Page together with, say, the one from Allen Stern. That sucks.
- Robert Scoble
To me, it isn't a case of one service being better than the rest, or having to choose one over the other . . . but of using different services to compliment each other - I am quite happy to use Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, Buzz and the myriad of other services that plug into them - they all have good features as well as bad ones - and each of them reaches a different type of user - notwithstanding the community of socnet friends geeks who seem to have a presence everywhere.
- Chris Loft
Jesse: Paul is smart and I expect great things. I've been spending more time studying Facebook lately and am ready for another revolution.
- Robert Scoble
Jesse: I saw you guys chatting about it yesterday. I'm wondering of the slowness of FF hasn't got something to do with it.
- Roberto Bonini
Robert, I agree - I'd like to see that too. I bet it comes in one form or another. They have yet to fully integrate Facebook in the way they could. There is so much more, with actually very little code, that they can do with just a little Facebook API integration. Or maybe it will all happen inside Facebook. Whatever it is, those here will be the ones that benefit most I think. I don't see reason to give up on it yet.
- Jesse Stay
Roberto, when I'm working on something game-changing, my other products usually suffer, too. Paul's got something up his sleeve. I don't know what, but I'm betting we'll all like it.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: whatever Paul is working on I bet it ISN'T copying FriendFeed's worst features, like Google Buzz did.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, oh, I bet whatever it is is revolutionizing, not copying anything. As I said in my blog post, the FriendFeed team (and especially Paul) don't just innovate - they revolutionize.
- Jesse Stay
and btw, if FriendFeed doesn't create the transition tool from FF to Facebook should that happen, I will. I'm not going to let my social graph here die either.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: I'll buy that. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Relationships don't depend only on technical features. The acquaintances made in one community can lead to contact in another. The names of Buzz followers that appear familiar get followed back at a higher rate than total strangers.

Because FF is not built as a response to another service? Perhaps FF team has brought some originality to the table, as opposed to just wondering what difference a new service could bring to the table?

Btw, I have the same feeling about Buzz..nothing special and a copy cat feature that does not add anything new to justify the headache of using a new aggregator..
- Mahesh CR
Buzz, aside from introducing numberof people to social media, will send tens of thousands in search of a more controllable experience. This will help in the long run.
- Alfred C. Ingram
To Alfred's point, the arrival of Buzz got me to check out FF, finally. FF did something very nice a moment ago. It observed that one of my FB posts was related to one of Ian McGee's tweets. Now that was helpful. I don't see how Buzz is significantly better at helping me sift through the river of data I get.
- Debbie Wolfe
I agree, Francine. I think it's all layout. Buzz is cramped into your Gmail. Friendfeed has space to roam.
- Rah-PM 2012
FF is a more mature design that's been through a few iterations. There's huge power in the customizable navigation / filters on the right (Friends and Groups). And above all, FF has a hipper crowd. Buzz made some initial bad choices in their behaviors—the worst being the one that keeps popping old threads up to the top based on the recency of comments.
- Michael Markman
If buzz was a new way to render and track the multitude of email conversations that are one line long and the rest of the email is duplicated in each message by each respondent, it would rock.
- Andy Bakun
Friendfeed doesn't have stripes running across it like Buzz does. This makes the scrolling less noticeable, less distracting. Friendfeed only allows small posts, so they are more uniform looking, particularly if they are just words. One has had plenty of time to weed out one's friend's list and hide duplicated posts and such in friendfeed, while if you are like me in Buzz, you are still...

Google Labs has offline modes for some apps
- David Lloyd
There's Google Checkout
- Alex de Soto
Yeah, and that SQLite store in HTML 5 - where does that go?
- Tom Morris
...and they're dumping Gears for HTML5
- Ken Sheppardson
Gears is basically HTML 5 beta.
- Tom Morris
Tom - sqlite stores a file on your local machine containing the data for future use.
- Chris Jackson
the book format for iPad is ePub, which is HTML inside
- Kevin Marks
yeah its just a file container
- David Lloyd
DRM'able of course :D
- David Lloyd
I have an ebook reader. It's called a laptop with a folder full of PDF files.
- Tom Morris
I agree with Robert, I'm fine with the $16 price point for eBooks for latest books, for which I buy in hard copy for $30
- r Macdonald
I just buy books and put em on my shelf when I have read them so my friends think I am clever. Screw ebooks.
- David Lloyd
I got ya Robert, I just don't see how Google can reliably pull all that feed information into one place when they want user lock-in (just like anyone else). I see them more likely making a Twitter or Facebook or whatever .clone
- Kevin Costain
Not I. One copy, one device. I'd much prefer to pay $30 for the hardcopy.
- JCunwired
kinda like appl controlled the price of the 99cents music
- Don Bonaddio
@tommorris you prefer PDF to ePub? Really?
- Kevin Marks
Imagine reading a book on the ipad, youll be distracted every 2 minutes with new emails, and other things beeping and booping.
- David Lloyd
Kevin C: a Google clone of Facebook would be very interesting.
- Robert Scoble
No. But I've got thousands and thousands of papers in PDF. I've never downloaded an ePub file in my life.
- Tom Morris
@david airplane mode
- Jamie
Kevin and Andrew are right, it is about the quality web-connected user experience.
- r Macdonald
Of course its going to be DRM'ed with FairPlay :D
- David Lloyd
iBooks is ePub but with fairplay DRM. we're back to square one
- Jamie
Exactly. In 5 years when you want to re-read that book and have no Apple, or Kindle layng around you're out of luck.
- JCunwired
Well in 5 years time the 1 dollar pulp paperback should be out ;)
- David Lloyd
I use this thing called a university library. It works pretty well.
- Tom Morris
me too. Leeds University has 2 greta libraries. NOTHING beats holding real books. Screw ebooks.
- David Lloyd
I don't want to own music. I don't want to own content, in general. I pay ~$15/mo to listen to whatever I want on Zune.
- Ken Sheppardson
People are just reading alot less or NOT reading paper at all anymore..
- Kevin Costain
@tommorris iPad will handle PDF too, sure, just like iPhone does now.
- Kevin Marks
honestly i prefer ebooks.
- Jamie
Holding something 100 years old; the smell.
- David Lloyd
http://www.google.com/s2... Google's Social Circles. Check out your social graph!
- Robert Scoble

- Don Bonaddio
I might buy an ebook reader. For reference books. 900 page XML specs that kinda crap. For anything I actually need to read, paper.
- Tom Morris
Google's Social Circles - I like it - I see that turning into something very useful.. Right now.. not so much.. :)
- Kevin Costain
Yup. Look at all the distractions around us. We cant read books on an Ipad without checking emails, Friendfeed, twitter, bidding on ebay. Downloading music.
- David Lloyd
Watching Daily Show clips, not reading.
- David Lloyd
Kevin C: a foundation of a building isn't very useful either.
- Robert Scoble
when I was at google and testing Social Circle, m'colleagues complained that all they saw was stuff from me (they didn't blog)
- Kevin Marks
I think iPad is a killer form factor for magazines and newspapers.
- Jamie
I prefer the actual newspaper :)
- David Lloyd
the NYT app looked glorious
- Jamie
And i like flicking through the magazines on the news stand and picking one.
- David Lloyd
save the trees david, save the trees
- Jamie
Robert: I agree with you - often the importance of the foundation is lost on people too. i think you're right about Google planning something big in that space. .
- Kevin Costain
hehe
- David Lloyd
I mean, what the hell - you want to make books suck as much as iTunes DRM? DVD CSS region restriction? What a load of crap.
- Tom Morris
Google ePub files available here: http://bit.ly/GOOGePub
- Kevin Marks
The thing is, people will not stop reading paper. There is a backlash brewing (or already here) about how DUMB everyone is getting because they dont read. Check out the PBS doc.. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh...
- Kevin Costain
We can go buy our DRM apple books, then in a few years pay for "ibooks pro" with no DRM :)
- David Lloyd
iPod ==> iPad ==> and coming soon the iPud!
- Frank Paynter
I'll just buy the hardback and "rip-it" to all my devices :-)
- Don Bonaddio
The fact that Amazon can remove books remotely from your Kindle is ridiculous.
- Tom Morris
Is the public library dead yet?
- Ken Sheppardson
Thankfully not.
- Tom Morris
I think the public library (and the private library) are more powerful than ever.
- Cliff Gerrish
proprietary vs open
- Don Bonaddio
I'm surprised Andrew Keen hasn't ranted about the libertarian tech geeks wanting to burn down our libraries. ;)
- Tom Morris
The public libraries are not hurting here in Toronto. I think we Canucks see this as an essential service.. :)
- Kevin Costain
I guess Andrew cares more about making money than the freedom to read.
- Tom Morris
libraries are moving into providing digital books anyway
- Hilary Talbot
I wonder if any libraries let you check out Kindles yet.
- Ken Sheppardson
the move to digital libraries is proving to be quite painful because of copyright issues :(
- David Lloyd
They don't need to. If everything is online, you don't need a library anymore. The Pirate Bay/Rapidshare/BitTorrent is the online digital library.
- Tom Morris
You have unlimited copies digitally versus a few in the library physiclally. Its difficult
- David Lloyd
Neither.
- David Lloyd
You go onto BitTorrent and search for "10000 psychology ebooks collection" and you download a folder full of PDFs...
- Tom Morris
Neither will be on the iPad.. !
- Kevin Costain
They will give in to Flash. :)
- JCunwired
Yeah I am sure i'll steal a bunch of crap and buy some too.
- David Lloyd
Silverlight will be on the iPad the day after you can install Safari on your ChromeOS tablet.
- Ken Sheppardson
Apple will come out with their own "standard" for video on the web.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Stranger things have happened. I refer to Apple 1997.
- David Lloyd
The standard is a mp4 file with h264 accelerators :D
- David Lloyd
Did anyone read Seth Godin's bullshit about libraries? What a load of nonsense.
- Tom Morris
it actually cant record video well. very low fps rate on the 3g
- Jamie
no, link it
- David Lloyd
@manielse Apple went with h264 in mp4, and drove the licensing debate so that it was viable

As soon as I can find a good old flip phone that'll let me tether over WiFi, I'lll dump my smartphone and get an iPad.
- Ken Sheppardson
...provided a WiFi hotspot, that is
- Ken Sheppardson
Seriously, nobody has looked into, or even blogged, the cost implication of 90% + of the web transition from flash. Flash may be crippled, but the economy is going to keep it alive for some time yet.
- JCunwired
the transition will happen. some folks will need to be dragged kicking and screaming, but it will happen... and very quickly for the key things (video). the peripheral stuff, designer label websites and so on are fine as they are. I dont think people are dying for that kind of content to be accessible on a phone anyway.
- Jamie
@JC Companies will move if it means survival of keeping their audience. Apple has huge influence to that, especially in the consumer space.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Ken, a MiFi + iPad seems to be a big play right now, just as a MiFi + iPhone is a great solution too -- of course the MiFi monthly charge is probably a bit too much for the average person, like myself
- Chris Heath
Depending on your need (mostly near Wifi), the MiFi PrePaid plans may be worth it for those 'occasional' roaming needs. Or I'm sure tethering to phone options will surface...,
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
it wasn't the buzz messages. it was the automatic follows via GMail contacts that was the problem anyway.

- Karoli

- Michael Markman
Yes, I am going to buy 2. One for my stepdad and one for me.
- Karoli
Yes to iPad... (by when? still unknown)
- Michael Markman
@karoli Buzz has geolocation integrated into a mobile map product.
- Michael Markman
@mickeleh the reason I'm unimpressed is because a) I hate geolocation; and b) it makes me use the stupid map to upload a pic.

- Karoli
LOL....Robert caught gaping like a fish...
- Karoli
...wondering when Gillmor Gang will come to my Roku.
- Karoli
disruptive in different ways. iPad is a consumption product; Buzz is a creation/aggregation product.
- Karoli
the item in my hand is far more disruptive than the item I don't have.
- Aron Michalski
I agree w/ Gillmor. It' not either or.. The disruption is multiplied with iPad x Buzz.
- Michael Markman
Excellent show. Thanks to all those who participated and especially those who didn't.

The iPhone 3GS has a great camera (for a cellphone) especially with the new easy-edit video function. But holding the lightweight handset steady isn’t easy. Joby already addressed this by rebranding it’s smallest bendable tripod as the Gorillamobile (sadly, not a car for big apes), and that remains a great multi-purpose option.

Truthdig - Reports - Obama TV: How the President Revived Health Care - http://www.truthdig.com/report...

"President Barack Obama has been a calming force in the debate over health care reform, bringing a tone of rationality to counter the influence of right-wing talk radio, Fox News and the Republicans’ staged “grass-roots” town hall meetings. He’s not turning the other cheek. Rather, he’s sticking it to his critics with intelligence and wit. It’s easy to criticize Obama as he becomes the public face of health reform. He is annoyingly general. The reform bill he is likely to sign will be a hodgepodge of compromises, some terrible. But we should be thankful for the civilized tone that Obama is bringing to a debate that was beginning to descend into ideological hysteria and unrelated arguments over race."

"Could come with the downfall of book stores. Anthony Grafton explains and worries about monopoly control of information: "For years, Google has kept rolling out one new application after another, from Street View to Fast Flip, and rolling over most of the competition as it does so. They’ve just done it again: [Thursday], Google announced that they would allow On Demand Books to produce paperback versions of two million out-of-copyright digitized texts on the Espresso Book Machine, which can print and bind a book in less than five minutes. For the recommended $8 a copy—the price of a paperback romance—readers will be able to buy anything from “Moby Dick” to “Dame Curtsey’s Book of Candy Making,” The Google-On Demand partnership could transform retail bookselling—especially of books for university courses.""
