Awesome. Apparently I am not showing up in some people's Twitter timelines.
Yea, you dissapear from mine from time to time, normaly I reloaded tweetdeck and it fixes it. - Fee501st from iPhone
Sigh. - Veronica
Yeah, I was wondering how you were blocking yourself from my timeline. :( - Jason Wong
This is very annoying to me. - Veronica
yes. I thought it was tweetdeck at fist, but its not. she just does not seem to be refreshing right now on my timeline. - Carlos Urrutia
At least you're in the biz and know who to call... - Jason Wong
Ghostbusters? - Carlos Urrutia
How does Twitter expect you to command your minions with bugs like these? - Paul Reynolds
And yet there sometime is some kind of double post in Facebook - Jerry Perez
I don't tweet so I would not know - VAL D. Zone
That's a pain. I can't say I've noticed your disappearing act, but I use brizzly, I dunno if that makes a difference. - Amy
Amy: did you see her tweet about answering as eric cartman? :) - Carlos Urrutia
Carlos: Yup - Amy
Don't worry Veronica, Sarah's and Felicia's does it to. - Fee501st from iPhone
Amy: weird. maybe its only affecting some of us then. - Carlos Urrutia
Maybe one of their servers is on the blink or something. - Amy
i guess so. still, annoying though :) - Carlos Urrutia
I had that same problem was @leolaporte. I had to re-follow to get it to show. - Nolan Alston
Hmm. It looks like there are millions of Twitter feeds I'm not showing up in. - aldenoneil
And by minions, I of course mean Fee. - Paul Reynolds
Will you guys let me know if I pop back into your timelines over the next few days? It was a known issue and they've been working on the fix. - Veronica
Will do V! - Fee501st
Pual: I got a direct line red telephone! i don't need twitter. If she says fire the nukes, i press the button - Fee501st

I see you - Ned Garcia-Mathews
Veronica: last i see on the public timeline was your comment about answering as eric cartman. I'm obviously not counting your replies :) - Carlos Urrutia

Why is Homer Simpson's X-ray on Bones?

It's a contest to find Simpsons references in Fox shows this week. - Raphael, Raphael
Really? If so, found him. :) - Nolan Alston from BuddyFeed
Wow, I totally missed the x-ray. I assumed the reference was the guest appearance by Dan Castellaneta. - Penguin It's Cold Outside
good way to have peeps watch their so so shows............ - VAL D. Zone
I watched House and Lie to Me this week, I guess I just missed the contest references. But now that you have pointed it out, I see them everywhere. - Nolan Alston

Hi Leo - x5315
Welcome Natali! Hi Leo :) - Hector
First time I'm tuning in from the beginning of the show...I feel like I should skip this because I like to listen in the car. - Cassidy
Hello, Leo! - Nolan Alston
Cassidy... it's a different experience from the produced podcast - different, but good - Chris Heath
So when Leo starts publishing the edited videos on Roku and such, will we see the clock behind him skipping after each removed blooper? - Hector
Turn-by-turn is ok leo, but apple requires developers to provide their own maps :) - Lasse Reiersen-Gravdal
Apple just bought a map company though, maybe they're going to offer it. - x5315

Is live.twit.tv up? It doesn't seem to load. And the bitgravity feed isn't loading in VLC either... - Rob Miller
No, there seems to be some issues. At least i'm having issues. - x5315
I just got the bitgravity feed working now in mplayer - Rob Miller
Darn, have to wait until next week now to hear about the twitmobile. - Rob Miller
buonasera @natali ;) and ciao to @jason mohamed ali calacanis :-p - alex
Had to stop watching the live feed, has he said what his car is yet? - Matthew DeVries
next week on the car - cxx dxx
This week's friend feed thread was very sparse... People are leaving in droves. - Hector
Great job! - Hector
Tease: This Week on This Week In Tech, Natali del Conte shows off her Droid, Jason Calacanis talks about SOX, and Patrick Norton fights for a free Internet. TWiT is next! - Leo Laporte

Cool, got this one!!! - Nolan Alston
Yay! - Sarah Lane
Thank you!! - Nolan Alston
np, happy to share the goods! - Sarah Lane
Do you get invites randomly or does every invite come with a set number of invites to give? - Thomas
Missed out. - Jerry Perez

Akiva Moskovitz
Are you frickin' kidding me? I have to pay $900 a year or whatever astronomical bullshit charge Apple has for MobileMe just to sync 1Password between machines? That pretty much makes 1Password expensive and useless all in one go.
Are you frickin' kidding me? All I had to do was a simple Google search to solve this problem? That pretty much makes 1Password viable and me an idiot all in one go. - Akiva Moskovitz
o.o I only pay $99 a year. - Danny Minick
Danny, I'm a ridiculous Apple fanboy and I still can't justify MobileMe. - Akiva Moskovitz
I use Dropbox to sync the 1Password.agilekeychain file between machines. - Nolan Alston
Yep, thanks Bruce! It works like a champ. I now FINALLY have a reason to use Dropbox. - Akiva Moskovitz
I don't need to sync anything.. it's all stored on my network :) - alphaxion
My laptop isn't always on my own network. - Akiva Moskovitz
I should have mentioned that it's also accessible from outside my network too :) - alphaxion
I think they want you to use MobileMe. - Cristo
alphaxion, if only I had a dedicated IP address. - Akiva Moskovitz
dyndns and an updater app solves the issue with dynamic IP addressing from your ISP... I used to use "username.dyndns.org" with my old ISP. Some routers even build in support for it now, too. - alphaxion
Never been a fan of dynamic DNS services. Also, I'd hate to rely on my crappy Comcast connection especially since my upload rate is so beastly slow. - Akiva Moskovitz
You could just remember your password. - LogEx
ah.. comcast.... yeah, you're better off with something else, and this is someone from the UK knowing how bad they are! ;) - alphaxion
You should just post the password on your website so you can always look there to see what it is. - Cristo
I'm doing the MobileMe trial now, only because it's free and I wanted to see how the locate my phone & remote wipe worked. But I don't use it for files, especially anything as sensitive as my passwords. - LogEx
There's another reason to use Dropbox I'll pitch you on later. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo
LogEx, here's hoping you don't use the same password on every site. - Akiva Moskovitz
Bruce, sweet. Can't wait to hear it. - Akiva Moskovitz
I don't, I use dozens plus variations (it's not critical after all for casual service passwords to be highly secure). But it's rare that I have to look one up, particularly for something I use with any frequency. - LogEx
Well, luckily I'm not installing this on your computers then. - Akiva Moskovitz
I was going to post a random hash and say it was my password, then realized that http://randomhash.com/ is NOT taken. I don't want it, but i thought it was interesting. - Josh Haley
@josh I wonder how many stoners would reach the site, and leave feeling disappointed >.< - alphaxion
Exactly four-hundred and twenty. - Josh Haley
Rather than hijack this thread I'll hijack my own for the pitch: http://friendfeed.com/brlewis... - Bruce Lewis

Third one is really cool. - Daniel Brusilovsky
Call me boring, but I prefer the tree. - Spidra Webster
hard one but 1 - Yunus Tunak
1. I like the version of Steampunk for smaller devices (had it on my iPhone for awhile), but that one's just too busy for a laptop. - Rob Haas
#1 - Andrew C
3 - Josh Haley from iPhone
let's go with 1, i like 2 also though - Andrew Dobrow
tough decision. I'd go with #1. - Brian Sloane
Damn it! Tree would ... #1! <0, - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
I like 1 the best. - Give 'Em DBizness
1: #3 is nice, but a little messy and less remarkable than #1 - Carmine Gnolo
#2 - the tree is awesome - Andy Bold
I agree - #2. The colors rock. - Tony "Frosty" Welch
I think #3 is nice! - Ankit Ahuja
2nd one/... the one with the trees - Wei-Yen Tan
Generally I'd go with #3 , but #2 looks far more vibrant. Pick #2 - Faraz Mullick
2 - Nik
Cool, I'd go for the second option though, but I'm just a fan of nature pics so that's biased. The first will probably get you to stand out even slighlty more. (and yes, I expand to see the third option :) - James Kuypers
I like the 1st - Herb Hernandez from iPhone
#2.1 is too emo and 3 is kind of a mess. - Travis Smith
def the first one - Kim
Gonna go with #1. - CAJ, somewhere else
I've been using underworld, another design from Colin Thompson(#3.) #1 is neat though. - rob

No incompatible software that I've seen yet, but I've only really tested Lightroom and Firefox with it so far. I don't really use that much other software though. - Thomas Hawk
Spaces is very laggy for me dragging windows between spaces. Also, iTunes is restarting on its own for no reason. Other than those annoyances it seems pretty tight. - sean808080

"Some customers have reported transmission performance issues under certain driving conditions. This was due to a faulty component inside the Mechatronic unit within a limited production range. VWGoA will repair or replace the components in the transmissions of approximately 43,000 Volkswagens and 10,300 Audis at no charge to the vehicles' owners.

tiny-twig.jpg
Great show so far! Loving the discussion of these great products. - Eric Geller
"Main stream media" become broadcast channels for the most followed individuals. - Ken Sheppardson
Most followed, trusted, popular... pick your criteria - Ken Sheppardson
Unfortunately if you "Share" an item, that fact doesn't seem to be associated back with the original item. You can see how many people have Liked a post, but you can't see how many folks have Shared it (in Google Reader) - Ken Sheppardson
Gina's Twitter analytics tool seems like a perfect candidate for Google App Engine -- http://smarterware.org/2877... - Ken Sheppardson
Historically there have really been two distinct classes of Twitter 3rd party apps - those that drive participation/traffic to the site (e.g. 1,000 different clients) and those that try to extract some value from the stream (e.g. analytic tools, search engines, firehose based Track serves, etc.) Seems they've been much more supportive of the former than the latter. - Ken Sheppardson
yeah, totally agree ken - Chris Heath
what does the ability to 'perform' your location mean for the credibility of those reports? - Gabe
That makes sense though Ken. I can think of some great ways to make money by extracting value from the stream - Chris Jones
Oh, sure, Chris... I think it makes sense from Twitter's perspective, it's just a little disingenuous to lump them together and say they "support 3rd party tools/developers" - Ken Sheppardson
Where does XMPP fit into all this? Does Kevin have any thoughts? They've been pushing "Multi User Chat" and pubsub before PubSubHubbub and all sorts of other ideas came along. - Ken Sheppardson
Wave Protocol is, BTW, just an extension to XMPP, IIRC - Ken Sheppardson
"The Google Wave Federation Protocol Over XMPP is an open extension to the XMPP core" -- http://www.waveprotocol.org/draft-p... - Ken Sheppardson
Steve Gillmor -- You listening? They're trying to interpret your Apple/Google/AT&T post from today. About an hour in, if you're listening later. - Ken Sheppardson
"The application has not been approved because, as submitted for review, it appears to alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail. Apple spent a lot of time and effort developing this distinct and innovative way to seamlessly deliver core functionality of the iPhone." -- http://www.apple.com/hotnews... - Ken Sheppardson
I think Steve's saying Apple wants the FCC to step in and free them from the carriers, allowing them to do VoIP - Ken Sheppardson
The Galaxy from Samsung is the first Android coming to the US with an audio jack afaik. - Patrick Sullivan
Have you started writing the plug-in for that yet, Gina? :-) (re adding a person to a filter) - Ken Sheppardson
I'm excited about the Galaxy. I'm a big Samsung fanboy. - Chris Jones
Oh, and can we please SORT on columns? kthxbye - Ken Sheppardson
@Chris Jones - I'm very curious about it as I want an Android phone but I'm not sure since it hasn't hit the US yet, and I've heard mixed things about the software keyboard for android, since no more Android phones have the physical keyboard :( - Patrick Sullivan
Not sure when it will make it to the States, but the Motorola Sholes has a physical keyboard: http://www.engadget.com/2009... - Christopher A Carr
That's true. I've heard the software keyboard on Android is a little small. I'm hoping that if enough people complain, either they'll add back the physical or fix the software - Chris Jones
