it's really hard to find new, good podcasts. Just went through 2 pages of search results here at FriendFeed and didn't find anything I wanted to listen to more than Stack Overflow and twit. Those i already knew about. :( What's your iTunes podcast window look like? hint hint, suggestions?

I like the BBC news podcasts....

I love BOL (Buzz Out Loud)...also Loaded, Twit, The Social Geeks (of course), Diggnation, Grammar Girl, The Answer Bitch, LostCasts (when LOST returns that is), ReadBurner, CNET TV, CNET Mailbag (Molly Wood is damn funny) and the occasional Tekzilla and Security Now.

Good call Lindsay, FFundercats, HO! Go grab it.

My one must-have podcast is Danny Sullivan's SearchCast: http://dailysearchcast.com/
- Matt Cutts
I listen to the Gillmor Gang (I'll be on tomorrow at 1 p.m. from China, by the way) and TWiT. Otherwise I "snack" on other audio shows here and there.
- Robert Scoble
NY Times Front Page, Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing (both are good first thing in the morning), NewsGang Live / Gillmor Gang. Leo Laporte has a few good ones like TWiT, MacBreak Weekly, Windows Weekly, Security Now.
- Rolf Schewe
I feel bad for not listening to TWiT very much while everyone else does. It is in my podcatcher but I almost always listen to it part way and then move on. The podcast is a lot of fun, but it just feels like BOL got the same things already and talked about them days earlier. I have a lot of podcasts (I do love NPR and I've found a number of great book world and fiction podcasts) and I'd rather listen to something new.
- Aram Zucker-Scharff
from twhirl
Aram: I understand that. I don't get to all of them either. usually I just listen to the ones that get talked about on Twitter or FriendFeed. Speaking of which, http://www.fastcompany.tv is my video podcast.
- Robert Scoble
These are all great suggestions -- I just scarfed up a mess of them and added them to iTunes. Thanks!

If you're not already listening to This American Life you're missing the best radio show ever. Fresh Air is good, too. And Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

"WFMU's Best Show On WFMU" is HILARIOUS! I also like Studio 360 and many of the ones mentioned above.

In the same vein as WFMU are the podcasts from RESONANCE FM, "the art of listening"
- Brad Kligerman
Oh my - where's NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me", and NPR's Car Talk, and Leo's "Security Now!" podcast? And if you're not only twisted, but actually sprained, check out Merlin Mann's podcast "You Look Nice Today".

If you are into Social media, PR and communication, then check out For Immediate Release (FIR). Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson host this bi-weekly podcast and it is without a doubt the best communications podcast out there.

NPR's Wait Wait and This American Life make it to my podcast list. I'm learning Danish too, and there is a great podcast called "CopenhagenCast" that is a great learning tool for the language.

Skeptics Guide to the Universe is excellent, one of the best podcasts out there. Also, Seminars about Long Term Thinking is often great.

Savage Love (sex and relationships, about 35 minutes, weekly), Memory Palace (quirky history stories, about 5 minutes, published irregularly), 60 Second Psych (short stories about psychology, published irregularly), and I love, love, love Tank Riot (kind of indescribable--runtime 1 hour+, published every two weeks or month or so by three guys in Wisconsin), and also one called Copper Robot by some guy named "Mitch Wagner."

FriendFeed hype blandt danske twitterbrugere. Varmer mit hjerte. Håber folk opdager FFs kæmpe potentiale.
Jeg har ikke rigtigt set potentialet i FriendFeed før relanceringen. Det er blevet meget bedre IMO.
- Mikkel Marius Winther
Der er ikke "hype" som sådan - de har bare lavet en feature så man kan importere sine Twitter-venner og følge dem her også. Når blæsten har lagt sig i dag, så står de allesammen og auto-opdaterer. Igen.

I forhold til den omtale FF hidtil har opnået i det danske twitter univers er der som minimum tale om i hvert fald "semi-hype" ;)

This is the end of an era. His health must be pretty bad at this point. I wish Apple would have just taken the "we don't comment on the health of our executives" position rather than lie and lie.

Sold my stock momments after the announcement was made that he wasn't going to be at MacWorld. Got around $88.00 a share. Seems now to have been prudent.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Will he be resuming the CEO post then, or just sit on the board when he returns at the end of June?
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Steve's health isn't good -- anyone could see it. The exec moves over the past several months were removing contenders for the successor. Steve cultivated people with similar passions, but only one could win. Like Mac design. One ring to bind them all. It was Steve, now he won't be back.
- Mitch Ratcliffe
I hate to be cavalier, but my Mac is still running and my iPhone still works too... Time will tell if the board learned from what happened last time Steve left. WE should also be aware that the circumstances were VERY different last time.
- Brian Roy
so much for scoble's yogurt guy (ducking)
- Dave Winer
OK folks, lets all take a pill and calm down. While there is no reason to think Jobs won't be back, Apple will survive without him. To say that Apple is going to fail without him is an insult to all the creative, intelligent people at Apple who actually design and build the products.
- Kenton
CNBC says that the stock should reopen in extended trading in 10 minutes at 5pm EST.

There´s a rumour Jobs may be back in a white bionic iSuit already in March at 110% strength ! buy... buy my stock.. nah. ;) (Seriously hope he´ll recover though, whenever).

@Kenton; Sure but the market will overreact, hence there's money to be made.
- Steven Cains
I agree with @Kenton, Apple isn't only Jobs.
- Thom Allen
For investment purposes, people have to assume he won't be back, because a week ago he said he wasn't going anywhere. But agree with Landini, I wish Steve a long healthy life.

- Mona Nomura
This is the next move in a series of calculated plans to have Steve step down. 5 months will be permanent.
- Spencer
I think it has been pretty crummy how Apple has bene trying to hide this from investors, so now many of them are blindsided. I hope Steve recovers but frankly Apple needs to ditch him now... no one can trust anythign Apple says about him.

Jobs become obsolete - Talent prevails (Ad on msnbc.com a couple of days back, truly not my words.)
- Tomi Itkonen
Damn. In the end this won't matter at all. Hoping for the best personally for His Jobness though!
- Mike Flynn
There is a time and place to discuss certain things. The thread is about Steve Jobs, his health, and him stepping down to go on medical leave. That is like going to a funeral and small talking about the person who passed away's funeral expenses. Disgusting and tactless.

I'm getting to this thread late -- is it known that he has Pancreatic cancer?

Part of Steve's problem is he is not getting enough protein. Somebody get him a steak stat!

gfurry: Were it anyone else, you could suspect the Vegan thing, because it's not easy and you have to be very smart and responsible to live a Vegan lifestyle and stay healthy, but Mr. Jobs has more money than god, he has top dieticians and cooks. It ain't the Vegan causing this.
- Matthew DeVries
Are you really asking for permission? Or looking to e-fight? -- rhetorical, which means you don't have to answer. Clearly you have no tact, so this conversation is done (from my end). Carry on.

That's why there is a "face of the company" position. I hope for a speedy recovery...
- Anthony Farrior
Here's the bothersome part: Yes the stock is down, yes his health is bad, but why isn't the SEC looking in to the blatant lies told by both? I don't think I'll believe anything Apple says for a long time after this.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
@Robert Scoble, Warren Buffett would be a better example, he is to Berkshire what Steve is to Apple. Even with a team of experienced leaders to succeed him, he's still the figurehead.

If a person is ill, but otherwise neurologically intact, does that really mean they can't make decisions anymore? Not in my professional opinion.
- Victor Ganata

- yodhe
it's probably good for Jobs that this news is out. Not having to hide his health anymore means that's one big stressful thing to be out from under. Hopefully now that this news is out he can distance himself a bit from the intense scrutiny I'm sure he's been under and work on getting his health back.

I've barely used Facebook since moving to FriendFeed. How ironic is it that Facebook heavily resembles FF now. I am disappointed with how difficult it is to read the news feed on Facebook. There is an image on the left. Oh wait, now there is an image on the right. Well now there is some indented text. Gah, now there are comments? It's just too noisy. It is almost a strain on my 21 year old eyes, and that is a shame. It needs to be cleaned up and displayed more elegantly.

- Roger Kondrat
I use FB quite a bit and I am glad they have improved their newsfeed. I would like to see them improve it some more.
- Bindu Reddy
I enjoy the comments as much if not more than the things being shared on FF. Why is it that FF has great discussions and FB has little to none. I think it is historical... people don't think of FB as a place to go have group discussions about things. If so, will FB be able to change this? Do you think they are in trouble if they can't.
- Michael Leggett
Comments on Facebook is actually pretty cool - FF'ers should not dismiss this feature so quickly. Facebook is copying FF - a true form of flattery! I think this is a really impressive feature improvement on Facebook...very interesting!!

They'd do a lot better if they could get an API where the two could integrate together, and I could have a feed of both and comment on both and my comments would show up in the appropriate spots. Well, actually, *everyone* would do a lot better. And there would be so much more commenting !

seems like a lot of door-knocking and how's-your-mum between the (growing) number of services. As long as of can keep ahead of the cruft eating the bulk of the bandwidth in the process. Or maybe I'm missing the point. FF was not cooperating (for me at least) via FB this morning. Now it simply states that I have actvity on FF with no detail.

- Louis Gray
Louis refreshing in the fact that it gives you more daddy time, and less time blogging for the interim.. Oh now don't even go there :-)
- Mike Fruchter
It's probably more definitional -- people equate prominence with remoteness. And the more they think you're famous the less they treat you like a person. That's been my experience at industry parties. Every interaction is someone trying to right some wrong they think you did them. If they didn't like the way you said hello that'll turn into a flamey blog post. Makes you want to have some more distance. People still have 20th century attitudes about fame.
- Dave Winer
Applying that kind of thinking to blogging is the most ridiculous perversion. Blogging exists to empower everyone to speak their mind. To then impose a hierarchy on it is to subvert the whole idea! Anyway, look for ways you penalize people for expressing their opinions and you might find some of the more "prominent" people coming back into the flow.
- Dave Winer
your chart is wrong (at least for me it was/is) - the n00b stage is where i interacted even more than i do today by a small percentage

Louis, you've always struck me as a person seeking to hear diverse voices, your "Guest Posts" proves this. Nice way to widen the discussion.
- michael sean wright
Mitchell Tsai is putting some nice comments together on http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Rob Diana
I've never thought of the blogosphere as having a hierarchy. Obviously some bloggers are more interesting to more readers than some others. Some bloggers are simply better at writing - at getting their thoughts onto paper; much the same as some very intelligent people make lousy speakers the same goes for blogging.
- Ian May
Definitely not for me. When I was a newb, there was a lot less interaction. Back when I started doing serialized posts on websites, there were seriously about seven or eight people on the internet who'd read that stuff. I was elated when my hit-count went double digits.

Maybe it's also a country thing. In Germany there are no stage 4 bloggers. That's what I like about blogging in Germany ;-)
- Benedikt Koehler
Hutch - Good piece. I would argue that those promoting a specific product engage as many people as possible if they're going to use Twitter or other micro-blogging services (instead of some of the 'nutty' posts that sometimes look really bad). You never know who your next best promoter is. Agree totally that people shouldn't be insulted if they don't get an answer ... the first time :)

Hutch, though not in called out in the post, in the original thread I did say Seth is *excellent* at interacting. There are different approaches to interacting. Seth posts his e-mail address on his blog, you don't. Neither approach wrong -- just different. As you note, Seth's posts do stand on their own.

Pretty easy for a family of four to use that much water. My household used 713 gal per day last month! Add 4 showers, many toilet flushes, laundry, dish washing, irrigation of your lawn and vegetable garden if you have them (which is probably half or more of my water usage), and you get to 713 gallons pretty fast. I just paid last months H2O bill and it was $184 !!

By the way, for the record, I made myself a Luther burger. Quite good, though I do prefer regular burgers. The sugary smell when the doughnuts got on the grill was nice, and the flavor of the slightly caramelized sugar actually brought back a nice memory from childhood, when my dad would sometimes buy us a Liège-style Belgian waffle at the mall, which had this really delicious caramelized sugar coating. So yeah, in a nutshell, Luther burger = good. I'm glad I tried it.

Thanks Steven and Steve! I'd be sure to leave someone out, so I'm not making a list. :)
- Cyndy
@Sarah, yeah, pretty good list, but who's this Scoble guy they keep talking about? I hear that name every now and then... ;-) [please, please, please understand that I'm kidding....]
- Mark Dykeman
Clay Shirky, Fred Wilson, Michael Rosenblum, David Weinberger,and Denise Shiffman.
- Dave Martin
Leo Laporte, John C. Dvorak, Kevin Rose, Ray Kurzweil, Cory Doctorow. They've all, in my mind, achieved greatness in a narrow niche that they saw thru from concept to completion.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Douglas Engelbart. By far.
- Robert Scoble
Leo Leporte, the mighty Scoble, and the scrappy Louis Gray, who I feel like I've watched become a Powerhouse through FriendFeed and is a genuinely good guy from everything that I can tell.
- Vince DeGeorge
@Robert - good call.
- Mark Dykeman
@Robert - DE is a level up - the superhero
- Dave Martin
Robert Scoble, Louis Gray, Thomas Hawk, Hutch Carpenter, Steve Hodson, Corvida, Duncan Riley, Alexander van Elsas. Only been reading blogs for a few months... It's pretty overwhelming what you guys keep up with.
- Mitchell Tsai
Louis' comment is funny
- Alex Hammer
If we need more proof that Friendfeed is a tech community (or Mark has only tech friends), look no further, if I'm not mistaking there isn't a single non-tech person on the hero list :-)
- Alexander van Elsas
So to counterweight that a bit, I vote for Nelson Mandela, who just turned 90, Johan Cruyff who was one of the most brilliant soccer players ever around, Jimi Hendrix cause Little Wing is the most brilliant guitar piece I ever heard, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson for bringing us Filthy, Rich and Catflap, Bottom, and a whole lot of other great comedy shows. I could go on for a while ;-)
- Alexander van Elsas
@Alexander - good list, but the premise of the question was to ask specifically for virtual heroes/online models, which would naturally be weighted towards bloggers. :)
- Mark Dykeman
You provided me with a little slack to get away from the blogging scene when you said (virtual) ;-) I like many of the bloggers and tech people mentioned btw, Riberst Scoble went for the inventor of the mouse (I think?) , I took it a bit further away from the tech community ;-)
- Alexander van Elsas
Kos and Andrew Sullivan. I might not agree with the politics all the time, but they both were instrumental in the emergence of blogging as a job/ career, and in establishing blogging as a serious medium.
- Duncan Riley
If we're going to limit ourselves to bloggers, many of the ones I look up to are on this thread. I love hanging out here, and it's because of all of you.
- Robert Scoble
Robert ;-)
- Alexander van Elsas
What no Arrington?
- Toby Graham
@Alexander, one of your many talents is to ignore restrictions when it makes sense to do so. :)
- Mark Dykeman
Robert Scoble -- workaholic. Jeremy Owyang --smart. But there are lots of gr8 ppl. Duncan Riley, Marshall Kirkpatrick. The list goes on. But at the top of the list for me it's Scoble and Jowyang

@louis Virtual herpes! Funny... that's what kids and lack of sleep does to us!!
- Gabriel Nijmeh
Robert Scoble, Louis Gray, and the ENTIRE LINUX COMMUNITY.

The readers of my blog... they keep coming back and making me smarter on a daily basis.

someone is going to write up this thread and crunch the numbers, right??

Det er så dejligt når folk bliver trætte af at høre om sociale medier og pointerer, at man ikke må glemme de klassiske medier. Det betyder, at man er ved at forstå vigtigheden i denne nye måde at se markedsføring på.

Thinking of getting a Smart Car. Thoughts?

You could probably get one sponsored, really.

I'm really really close to selling my car and getting a Vespa instead. Smart car would work too, but I think they're backordered to no end, no?
- MG Siegler
Chris, you think? How?
- Veronica
Not really good choice. It was started by Swatch watches (s in smart), picked up by Mercedes, but it is saddled w/ extra stuff for CA emissions etc that make it heavy and less fuel efficient than designed. Interior is cheap. Storage is small. Driving is frenetic Hwy driving due to high sides and short drivetrain. Oh, and >1 year wait list too. Lots of VW diesels coming out soon...I know Diesel is high now but soon to go down. Or you can get a Prius or Honda Hybrid or Honda FCX (Hyrdrogen Fuel Cell-)!
- Pokai
Well, first - see if anybody from a Smart Car dealer finds you. :) Second, pitch them on driving 'er around SF and recording it for posterity.

I looked at a couple of different 'smart car' models, both were 2 seater and very small. Their gas mileage was not all that impressive, less that 40 mpg. The Honda Civic hybrid has by far the best mileage for any 'normal' form factor car. A friend of mine has one and gets 45MPG commuting from Santa Cruz to Cupertino every day. You can get a Civic Hybrid for ~$23K with a nice stereo. VW Diesels will get excellent mileage once they are available here in CA.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I think that's a really smart idea.
- Nick Humphries
it's not about the gas mileage, but the parking! SMART
- morten saxnaes
Is 'Smart Car' an Oxymoron? Isn't a smarter choice walking, cycling or taking a public transport (depending on the distance)? Saves Money, Saves the Planet, Saves ones health.

Get one with sponsors graphics all over it.
- Jim Williams
Make sure that you're smarter than the car!
- Craig Thomler
Don't do it. Rented one several times (lin Germany) and the gearbox is just horrible. You find yourself hopping forward without any warning. Just get a small car with a very efficient gas mileage.
