Seems like a can of worms to me. Who is going to decide who they honor and who they don't? This is a step down a political path that a Google would be wise to avoid.

Is Facebook account a requirement for all Facebook employees? Is it considered "testing" when you spend paid by the company time on your own Facebook account? Or it's a "crime" only for the QA department to use their own (as alternative to testing ones) accounts?

TwerpScan gives you the ability to dynamically analyze who you follow and who is following you across almost every data point that is tied to a Twitter account. What’s really cool though, is that you can sort Twitter users across multiple dimensions at once. The data you can use to sort by includes: Screen Name, Name, Followers count, Following count, Ratio of Followers to Following, Number of Tweets and Last Tweet.

I wonder if I'm alone on this but do you think a option to report someone as spam could be added? Good or bad idea?
- Outsanity
Actually not a bad idea… could you post it on http://twerpscan.uservoice.com/, please? Don't even have to register there. It's just easier for me to figure out the most wanted features this way.

Rahsheen, sorry to hear that. Very rarely login won't work, and I'm still looking for the root cause. I'm working on it, tho. For the time being you could try logging out of Twitter and in again and retrying. Apologies for the trouble.
- Carlo Zottmann
Yah, can't get into this thing. Dies when it tries to redirect me back to the application. Wanted to blog about it. :(
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
It does the same for me at the moment; Twitter's timing out. If I had to guess I'd say it's a DDoS fallout… not entirely sure yet what the cause was before that. I'll drop you a note once I (think I) got it sorted.

Mike, I just shot you a heads-up via Twitter: I've implemented stand-alone drilldown pages. Here's yours: http://twerpscan.com/info... — and here's mine: http://twerpscan.com/info... . If you want to look up another user, either click the current user's name in the headline to change it, or go to http://twerpscan.com/info... and enter it there. It's just a first shot at the moment, but I'm having plans for more. Let me know what you think! :)

One of my less techy coworkers (all of us are techy, basically, except this guy) went to Google to search for Gmail the other day. Guess I should be glad he didn't search for Google first. I'm not surprised most people hadn't heard of Chrome, but I guess I think of URLs and search as two such different things that I wouldn't have thought conflating browsing with searching would be so common. I rarely search. Maybe that's why.

seems more likely that laconica based federations will be what beats twitter out (but I reserve the right to change my mind after I plurk for a bit)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I'm pretty sure that identi.ca has seen a marked increase in users since the apluk/cnn debacle and oprah
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
i have more than once said that the ideal solution is a decentralised network - one where we can choose where to host and store our profile and messages, but still be in touch with everyone on any other similar system - i.e. the structure of email or newsgroups or irc. laconica/identi.ca etc. does that - whether it is the final solution or not remains to be seen, we still lack the full standard/protocol for profile, message and topic interconnection
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle, this is what works best for the rest of the internet programs and protocols. It should work best for microblogging. There are standards developing, and many systems interconnect
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Having them all feed in to FriendFeed would be a big step in the right direction as well :)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I'm afraid I don't think Plurk will compete with Twitter, even though it's a better system than Twitter. So it's Twitter as it has the userbase but Plurk has the features for me and can hold a conversatation unlike Twitter. But who needs either when we have FriendFeed, hehe? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Josh, I think I'm quite clear in stating I prefer Plurk as it has the features but I use Twitter because it has the userbase.
- Kol Tregaskes
Twitter is here to stay. Just watch when all the celebs catch on.
- Mona Nomura
Anyway, you can use both by Hellotxt or Ping.fm. ;-) Celebrities? Oh joy.

I use Twitter instead of Plurk because I don't have to constantly sit on a webpage monitoring it and because the whole "Karma" thing, which rewards people for posting. I use Twitter instead of Identi.ca because no one except open source geeks are on Identi.ca or know of it, and while I am an open source geek, I like a larger community with more diverse sets.
- Neal Jansons
does plurk (like identi.ca) have to/from twitter integration? seems a fair amount use identi.ca and blow off twitter all together...and yet another reason to use multi-network client (like peoplebrowsr) hehe

they'll catch on, and then it will become even more of a broadcast-only medium than it already is.

You know what I kinda miss? Pownce. I liked some of the people there a lot and it could be a lot of fun.
- Neal Jansons
Kol, ping is a write only interface, no? Using takes both directions. And Neal, how are you watching FriendFeed?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Rob, yes post only.
- Kol Tregaskes
just making sure..I was using ping for a while, but feeding all of it into FF (and then out to twitter) winds up with many multiple posts
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Haven't joined plurk, but I remember when identi.ca hit the scene last year, everybody was touting it as the "Twitter Killer". Staked my username there, as well as at Rejaw. But as was mentioned earlier, most people eventually abandoned them and migrated back to Twitter. With the coverage that Twitter's getting in the mainstream news lately, I think it will take something on the scale of what Google did to Yahoo to knock Twitter off their microblogging throne.

Putting friend requests in at Plurk for some of you as I go along, here. I like it. I find it pretty easy to scroll though the timeline. Plus, it's easier to have something approaching discussion there. Also, you can share graphics, video, music very easily. I really like it much, much better than Twitter. Not sure why I backed off. Was close to Plurk nirvana (much attention to that, there), and then moved along for some reason.
- Kathy Fitch
Plurk is pretty cool and all, but at some point having accounts with all of these microblogging/social networking sites is sort of like having multiple email accounts. I mean, I have a Hotmail account, Yahoo account, 2 Gmail accounts, work email...but I really only use my work and one Gmail account.
- mark
True, Mark. I think what drew me to Plurk initially is that because it was new, folks were eager to add connections. That wasn't my initial experience on Twitter at all. Once I started focusing on Twitter, Plurk kind of fell by the wayside. Right now, FF is definitely my favorite thing, so most of my social net time is going here.

I'm pretty new to FF overall, but I'm already starting to make this--along with Facebook (because of all my old high school/college friends there)--my main social networking stop...especially considering that you can tap into the other sites from here.

The whole karma and badges thing on plurk seems too sophmoric for my taste.
- Aaron Whitaker
have to agree with you Kathy. But I note that if something makes it to my opening set, or most used screen on Chrome, I'm likely to have it open all the time. identi.ca has made it because of integration in peoplebrowsr. Anything else that makes it there will be on my radar.

I prefer plurk personally, but no one I know uses it.

Soup, that's the only reason I don't use it more. :-(

The timeline with inconsistent scales is balls.

I'm constantly on Plurk still, I made a few friends on it and enjoy the discussions between them.
- Andrew Trinh
I used plurk for a while, but also thought it too busy and soured on the whole concept. I then meandered over to Twitter.
- Brent - Loving Life
Well, I see that the timeline there is definitely less crowded, now. Guess others just kind of fell away as well. It was fascinating, actually, to be there as folks were discovering it, and to watch how quickly those who wanted to be the gurus moved in to establish that position.
- Kathy Fitch
@Josh, I don't like the design, the timeline and the sick karma points system.
- Rutger Blom
Also Twitter won the microblogging war. Everything else microblogging can just as well close down at this point.
- Rutger Blom
interesting. caused me to go back and look at my Twitter vs Plurk post from June nearly 11 months ago. http://www.mediadeluge.com/post.... I underestimated Twitter's stickiness -- mostly due to apps and huge follower counts that aren't easily exportable.
- Christian Anderson
I have to agree about the karma system being a turnoff, but lots of people apparently saw it as motivating initially. For awhile, there, so many plurks were about karma that I took to posting a "karma image of the day" as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the obsession. Apparently, some folks actually lost interest once they hit nirvana. Game over.
- Kathy Fitch
@ Josh .. Plurk certainly is innovative, interesting. ..on the other hand, I do not have anything against Twitter. However, I prefer Friendfeed. my question is, WHY 140 chars? are we adult enough to opt for more? ... with some expand button?

update :Plurk has been shut down in China.

Anyone have thoughts on Shareaholic vs. the ShareThis service FF add on?? Trying to figure out which is better or more efficient? Good vs. Bad?
- Sean
I've always prefferred Shareaholic over ShareThis and once the bookmarklet is ready (and maybe they'll do a WordPress widget) they'll be no turning back for me. :-)

This situation is like it was with Netscape 4.x years back. It was hopefully outdated and never updated (I guess they were coding Javagator), while Mozilla couldn't get their act together for what, 5-6 years? Actually it is one of the reasons why IE6 got so strong share and we are in this situation now.

Justin.TV Is Bigger Than Hulu . . . Overseas - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
OnuRC, Tina K.J, Bill de hÓra and 12 other people liked this
"Globally, Justin.tv has 22.1 million monthly uniques, compared to 15.8 million for Hulu, and 11.9 million for Veoh. While the U.S. numbers are 3.9 million for Justin.tv, 14 million for Hulu, and 4 million for Veoh. (Ustream.tv seems to be the second-largest live video streaming site with 6.7 million global monthly visitors and 1.4 million in the U.S.). These are all site numbers, Quantcast also measures “network” numbers which presumably includes videos embedded elsewhere, and those are about double the site stats for each service. Justin.tv itself claims 1,800 percent year-over-year growth in unique visitors based on its internal Google Analytics numbers."

Hulu is geo-restricted, HELLLO!?~?~~?~
- Bjorn Stromberg
Bjorn+1: It's like saying that movie downloads are more popular than Region 1 DVDs in England. Region 1 DVDs don't play in English machines, and neither does Hulu.
- Kevin Fox
I think this is a great example of showing NBC how stupid they're being by restricting their content from the rest of the world.
- Bjorn Stromberg
Hulu is so stupid to block IPs outside the US. People just end up downloading the torrents. http://vrypan.net/log...
- Panayotis Vryonis
Kevin and Bjorn, the numbers quoted are global, meaning that jtv is larger globally (US + "rest of world"), in large part because hulu is us-only.
- Paul Buchheit
But our comments apply well to the title "Justin.TV is bigger than Hulu ... Overseas" Of course it is.
- Kevin Fox
Yes, I think the title was trying to be humorous, but the actual facts are impressive.
- Paul Buchheit
As Bjornstar said, geo-discrimination. Should have known that, more research next time.
- Richard A.
well considering that Hulu is unwatchable for the most part for people outside of the US I'm not overly surprised
