The Republican Party of Strategies and Tactics - http://aureliusmaximus.wordpress.com/2008...
Well thought out. Not sure if I'm smart enough to digest it all myself but it was a well reasoned post. The real question is can it be fixed in a era where it seems as if the only way to win is to pander to one extreme end or the other. We seem to be missing centrisits in both parties (IMHO).
- Mike
it will definitely not be easy - the reality is that my party is largely responsible for the era you refer to - its hard to fault our 50+1 strategy from 2004 in some ways because i dont think we would have won any other way but that strategy demands that you maximize the support and enthusiasm of the "low hanging fruit" which then creates an environment where your proposals are designed to appeal to a narrow segment of your party instead of the broader population

@Robert: I think there might be a direct correlation between how much Leo loves his job and my inability to do mine when he is on. :) PS I can't stop whistling the Skype Dial Tone now!

iPhone 3g -- are you getting one or not?

Not a chance. It's a great middle-ground for SOME people, but not for me. I'll keep my Treo, thanks.
- Bradley McSpinn
As soon as it's released here (f** you orange), I'm gonna buy one. Here 3G coverage is perfect and I want the GPS. It's an horrible shame that it doesn't have video calling.
- Jean Berniolles
Nope. Got my Unlocked Curve on T-mobile and my 30gig iPod...if anything, the new apps store and 2.0 firmware make me want to get an iPod Touch but I'm passing on the iPhone....
- Live4Emma (L4S)
At some point, probably - but for now, I adore my Treo... No reason to change horses when the one you're on is running really well.
- Lucretia Pruitt
Treo massive stand up! Ok...so more like Treo Tiny Sub Culture, but whatever.
- Bradley McSpinn
I like my Razor just fine!
- Dieoxide
Got one. First time user, so really enjoying it. Better than any phone I've had before. It reminds me of that feeling I had with the original Palm device. Something mind changing about how you think about going about things.
- John Collis
I'm in BFE so there's not even a chance I'll see one for a long long time, plus I like my blackberry for now.
- Garrett
Not yet, I want to see the Omnia
- Mo Kargas
As a former Treo owner I have to ask why?? Have you used the iPhone? There is no comparison. Trust me, I'm being honest, and I work for Microsoft. Well done Apple.
- Ryan
Ryan - Two things, for me. First off, AT&T's service is HORRIBLE, here. Second, there are 3rd party applications for my Treo that I simply can't get for the iPhone. Oh, make it 3 things - I hold great value in mashable keys. I've used the iPhone's keyboard, and to say I dislike it would be a massive understatement.
- Bradley McSpinn
I want one but will not get one i don't think still to expensive waiting for iphone Version 3
- Cecil Sandus
I'm going to get an iPod Touch so I can run the apps .. that's more exciting to me then 3G or GPS ... voice dialing would be much more useful for me at this moment

not at this time. if i was a social media "expert", then i might see the need to buy into the frenzy, but reality is that I like it, but don't need it right now. tech lust is the modern version of sports. keep 'em distracted and you can get away with anything ;^)

Nah, I've never had good experiences with GSM service around here, and my Ocean has all the features I want, so I'm good.

I would love to hget one but all my lcal stores are out and they dont know when they will get more in ... 8( I live in a little town and one store only got 3 phones..
- John Spencer

Nope! I guess that means someone else will have to buy two. :-)
- Richard Klein
Yep, once all the furore has died down and they're everywhere. 'Til then, I'll use my 'classic' iPhone :)

Not until a working haptic solution is in place - http://code.google.com/p... AND AT&T is not the service provider. I may have to wait a fair bit. :)

I got one. I was so gonna hold out. I'm a total fan boy. I admit that now.

The thought of giving AT&T money makes me sick.

Can't shell out the bucks for the iPhone. I am looking at getting a Treo or Centro though.

Crackberry 8830 Curve is better than iPhone -- just ask MG Siegler! ha, ha!!

I'll buy an iPhone when they pry my Blackberry from my cold, dead hands.
- Jeff Jones
got it this morning. no wait, no line, no problems - for $199 it's unbeatable
- Nathan Chase
Got one last night, long line even at 8:30 p.m.! It's a great phone but power management could be easier. Check out my thoughts on it : lonseidman.com/?q=node/281/

no, the price plans in new zealand are insane... and my wife won't let me.

In HK also it's not so interesting...you must pay a prepayment (about 350$) which will be rebated in 2 years and you must pay 55$/month...

Still trying to decide. My Dash has been having issues and T-Mobile gave me a hard time about fixing the problem. So it is about time for a new phone. My big concern is the battery. Lots of reports of the iPhone not making it through the day.
- David Z
It takes 10 days to switch from sfr to orange so I can keep my phone number. Anyway, 3g iPhone meets my expectations but the battery is a concern, lack of copy-paste function as well.

Humm... Not great. I log into my .Mac account to see what will happen. Get MobileMe login! But it's broken, stuck on loading spinner.
Heh - now when I try .mac I get nothing but "Can't Open Page" Oh well - off to work I go. Maybe I can see it this evening.

I don't know. Maybe I just don't get it yet, but I'm really not sure why Google is moving into this space. Sure there's some advertising potential, but I just don't get the feeling that this is the next big thing.

It's kinda amazing that they built this in their 20% time. How many "20% time" did it take for them to roll this out?

"Second Life with Ad Sense!" yeah, I passed on SL, I think I'll pass on "Lively"...Google knows too much about me all ready, I don't need them putting a virtual face to the data on top of it...plus, who the hell can do this at work? Twitter and FF is about as far as I'll go to socialize on-line...

- Jason Stephens
Jason: why? post to twitter and bring them in.
- Kevin L
klecu: because then I have to leave friendfeed, I want to do everything in here...when I share I want it to go out to all my services too....
- Jason Stephens
exactly my point...I think it could be a twitter replacement though...i like posting to hear better then posting on twitter. I'd like the messages I share on here to go out to my twitter followers to help grow my subscriber list
- Jason Stephens
So is it Ping.fm that does that (posts to Twitter) then, not FriendFeed?
- Jeff Kopp
The method to comment and reply is much better on friendfeed, I think this definitly should either be bought by twitter or find a way to cross integrate them better. I see the option to "also send this comment as an @reply twitter from jpstephens" but thats not EXACTLY what I mean
- Jason Stephens
Jason: I totally agree, if you can post out to all your socials then someone tell me how. If not, then FF should have the option or I smell yet another social network for social networks. ;)
- Mark
You could try Mahalo share to post to a lot of your socials at once, but wouldn't this create a bit of a spam effect to FF if all of those socials are showing up here? Interested to hear comments from anyone with that experience, because of course you don't want to spam your FF friends, but not everyone is using FF... conundrum
- Dave Earley
Glad you got it Kevin. Friendfeed lends it self to more engaging conversation and sharing.
- Larry Kless
Problem is, you have to Friend back. :)
- l0ckergn0me
Did Scoble block you for begging for followers?
- Ryan Kuder
yeah there's real potential. but it's so damn hard to manage your friend list! same as with twitter - this is a huge barrier to the usability of the site. there should be a subscribe/unsubscribe button next to every post from anybody.

Friendfeed is awesome Kev. Everything at your fingertips.
- Vipin Chamakkala
This is a common refrain - people admitting that it takes them months to get FriendFeed. And for those of us who aren't honest enough to publicly admit this, it takes us months to use FriendFeed effectively. Is there a way to reduce this learning curve, so people can productively use FriendFeed from day 1?

You don't get it Kevin unless you're willing to friend us back. I believe same goes for Twitter. Why add you to our community if you're not willing to listen to us?

FriendFeed's concept does take a bit to grasp at first because we are sooo used to Twitter (uni-directional, broadcast communications tool) and FF is truly a multi-directional comm tool designed to illicit conversation around cool stuff you share via FF directly or thru nearly 50 Social Media "feeds" you can port over here. I love FF and have been super happy since I joined back in March! ;o). Glad you're here and having fun!!
- Susan Beebe
I still don't get it. There seems to just be too much noise. I get crap from people I don't know and I'm not following. Every item that hits my feed and has any comments takes up stupid amounts of space so it's hard to scan through. Twitter is just light weight and simple, and in that way it's more effective. If you could have a 1 or 2 line summary for each item then it'd be great, but as it is it's cluttered and overpowering, and I only have 6 follows, I can't imagine what it's like with 100s

About time you showed up. Now I can remove your twitter's entry in my Imaginary Friend. Real handy feature to track non-adopters.

I've explored every nook and cranny of Friendfeed now, grasped the interface and culture, and I am fairly certain that in its current incarnation it will catch on with only a very small percentage of Internet users. I have a fairly good track record in spotting major trends in Internet technology, and I don't think this is one. The main problem: way, way, way too much noise and...

AT$T is killing my iPhone 3G desire - http://digg.com/apple...
"Same here - I'm sad though - I want to be a good little fanboy and go buy, buy, buy... I just can't. I want - I want Cut-N-Paste, I want my notes to sync with desktop (or mobileme), I want at least the same 200 SMSs. I'd like MMS just for kicks... I want the option to have more Blue Tooth devices... Like a (gasp) keyboard. So I'm very sad and I admit it but I will wait to see if there is something as yet to be revealed - otherwise I'm a year away from being able to look in another direction and I'll be very happy for that year with my "old" iPhone."

Leo: we're ordering a Tricaster for the new Mahalo studios in Santa Monica. which one should we get?

That depends on whether your cameras are sending SDI or Analog video. For the cameras we're using, which send S-Video, the Studio is fine. If you want to support HD or other SDI cameras you'll have to go with the Broadcaster
