Friendfeeders, Are games a waste of time? Why or why not?
I ♥d playing Starcraft and Warcraft + Playstation. :) - AJ Batac
Expensive but by no means a waste of money - Joe Dawson
Moderation :) - directeur from NoiseRiver
Heck no. If something is fun and/or entertaining, it's never a waste of time. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
for a Philosopher's take -- think of the value of drinking parties (Plato) - Michael Maranda
That's a good argument Alex. - AJ Batac
Depends on what type of games you're talking about. I think there's a lot more value in complex tabletop games and games like chess than in dumb Flash games online or whatever. - Rochelle
I have pretty much abandoned gaming in favor of social media. I was a several-hours-a-day PC gamer for 10+ years. I like to think that SM has more possibility of a return on my time investment than WoW did. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Nope, because I rock at Star Wars Battlefront II. - Steven Perez
I sure hope not. I was really sucked into Sims 2 for a couple years. Now I play a few times a week. Mostly to design houses. :) But, I'm still a sucker for 'casual games' like Diner Dash, etc (bigfishgames.com). I get lost in trying to beat the damn things. - Yolanda
Games recharge my brain and leave me refreshed to think about other things, a lot like a good walk. - Jennifer Dittrich
one exgamer says no - Dobromir Hadzhiev
No. Games can improve mental and physical dexterity, mental acuteness, memory, etc. There have been studies done. And *applauds* Alex's answer. -
Honestly, I'd rather read a book. :) - Rachel Walden
Depends on your priorities, but for me, I enjoy games. - Rodfather
no. Because some times you just need to escape the doom and gloom :-) - Duncan Riley
Not if it's Sorry or Life. - Thomas Hawk
Games are a release from the horrible world outside. They can bring joy and relaxation and bring down your stress life. They are a great interactive entertainment media. How is that a waste of time? ;-) Waste away I'd say. :-D - Kol Tregaskes
"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted." - Bertrand Russell -- Sometimes it's wasting time, just like movies and reading, sometimes it's useful. It does have benefits for hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills, teamwork, tactics, reflex improvement, vocabulary, cash management, etc. - xero
I don't know... is maintaining sanity a waste of time? - Michael W. May from twhirl
Only if you think it is. :) - Mona Nomura
Absolutely not a waste of time. - Clay Newton
Scrabble stimulates neurotransmitters. - Shelly Weiss
+1 xero. - AJ Batac
Really, I don't think that matters so much. What's important for our health is to intentionally indulge in completely frivolous "waste of time" activities on a regular basis. Playing games, feeding ducks in the park, blowing bubbles, coloring with crayons. If it feeds your spirit, do it, no matter who says it's a waste of time! - Ordinarybug Heather
Everything is a waste of time, then you get put in the recycle bin. Use your time the way you want to. - Sam Levine
No more a waste of time then being on FriendFeed. I can gain social interaction using both and at the same time be happy that I took something away from each. (No matter how trivial, it's still a small sense of accomplishment and fun.) - David Cook
Thanks for participating guys. Appreciate it! :) - AJ Batac
It has been argued that humans are "homo ludens" more than they are sapient. That said, I personally find that they can easily become a time tax, and tend to avoid them, preferring to spend that time on more solidly creative activity. - david beckwith
Probably my first native post on FriendFeed October 9, 2008. - AJ Batac
No way. - Anne Graham

Re: End of an Era: The Golden Age of Tech Blogging is Over - http://www.web-strategist.com/blog...
"At the end of the day, it's about who you blog for and why. If your objective is solely to build a personal brand, then I agree with you. If you blog because you have something to say and you build a personal brand because of that, then the era is still strong.  If you are looking for instant gratification, then don't bother blogging. Back in the golden age, there were no publishing platforms with large audiences. Those who wanted to stick out from the crowd, commented loudly on other people's blogs, exercised linking behavior, did whatever they could to get indexed on Techmeme. Now, we have Twitter, Quora, Facebook et al. Different strokes for different folks but way to charge a provoking discussion, Jeremiah!

Re: Why the government should stay the fuck away from entrepreneurial programs - http://blog.press42.com/index...
"Uneasy chiming in as I'm unfamiliar with Spain's government and structure. In the U.S., specifically NYC, I welcome government involvement as: 1. they fund incubators (like ours) w/out demanding equity. Our incubator has <30 companies that have applied to and been accepted by Bloomberg-NYU Poly. We get subsidized rent, which is exactly what we need working towards traction. Our facilities are not as fancy-shiny as TechStars or GA but that's a price I'd rather pay than give up equity 2. local level government involvement is a plus. For example, Jersey City (not even 10 minutes away from dt, door to door) is looking to boost their economy and can offer more funds without -again- taking equity 3. government funding also enables founders to focus on growth vs keeping meddling VCs and angels happy. It's nice to have guidance and mentors but for seasoned entrepreneurs, we just want to build and ship vs kissing our investor's asses The challenges are younger founders who need guidance may..." - Mona Nomura

Well, I will grant that the sentiment of French Marshall Lyautey has some merit (he asked his gardener to plant a tree and when the gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years the Marshall was said to have replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!').... So I am off to plant some trees.... - David HC Soul
you, i like. and will point you to Hermann Hesse before he won the Nobel Prize for 'The Glass Bead Game' in which he wrote in in the idyllic poem "Hours in the Garden" (1936)- 'I hear music and see men of the past and future. I see wise men and poets and scholars and artists harmoniously building the hundred-gated cathedral of the Mind." - (forword to Glass Bead Game by by Hermann Hesse by Theodore Ziolkowski.) - michael sean wright
Thanks for the pointer - I'll go search it out. - David HC Soul
this is about conversation right? - michael sean wright from IM
I hope so. The thought is consuming much of my waking hours these days.... But I have to be up in 5 hours... so will have to return to the 'nightcrew' tomorrow night. One thing about time is it does seem to age one.... - David HC Soul

yes, we did the podcast when ff was acquired by the book of face.. watched them absorb the real-time elements and i check in from time to time usually through this post as it brings back very fond memories. google + reminds me of the early days of ff - haven't felt that way about any of the social nets that have come since the facedbooked swallow up. heaven knows we've been on them all and they seem so ancient now -- quora anyone? google got it right with +. think it marks the next era for them. - michael sean wright
Google + right now does remind me of the FF glory days and I am curious to see what happens next. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
