MacNN | Mobile Receipt prepares receipts for taxes on iPhone - http://www.macnn.com/article...
zsafwan , Jason, Hasitha and 2 other people liked this
"Mitek Systems has released its latest iPhone application, Mobile Receipt. The application is used to convert iPhone-captured images into an expense report for tax reporting purposes. After assigning receipt photographs to their respective expense categories, the IMagePROVE system automatically crops, rotates and scales the image so it is readable. Users can also add various pieces of relevant information to each listing, such as where it is from, amount totals, or additional notes. Expense reports, including the information and images, can then be sent to an e-mail address. Mitek's Office On My Phone line of iPhone apps also includes Mobile Deposit, a program that is used to deposit checks over the phone. Mobile Receipt is available from the App Store for $5."

There's a reason I follow 100,000 on Twitter and 25,000 on friendfeed: I get to see patterns no one else is seeing. Here's some:

How do you deal with the noise?
- Kevin Lim
How do you filter out all the noise? I find myself constantly unfollowing people to make Twitter more relevant.

So that's like "Scoble trends" :) Like Twitter trends, but for emerging events.
- Kirill Petrovsky

- Michelle
Michelle: noise is like the lawn. It lets you see the flowers.
- Robert Scoble
So effectively you start a topic on Twitter, and then use friendfeed as a chat room?
- Richard Lai
i follow almost 60,000 on twitter now and love it. totally agree scoble.
- Jason Pollock
Hoping for some improvements to Tweetdeck groups - just not enough yet
- Kirsten Hamstra
yeah but how do you SEE the patterns, you cannot read them all do you?
- Hans Mestrum
You should be talking about all the spammers on Twitter because that is the trend
- paul mooney
Robert is our filter, we follow robert who sees the patterns and reports it back.
- Ray Slakinski
Here's a hint: I don't always follow 125,000 people. In friendfeed I have lists of only 150 people. THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE NOISE.
- Robert Scoble
He has a socket in the back of his head ;-)
- Richard H
Also, in friendfeed I can remove noise by displaying only items that have gotten a like. Like this: http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Robert Scoble
Thank goodness we have you, Robert, to do that, so we don't have to.
- Jason Mayoff
make sense following "likes"
- Hans Mestrum
paul: spammers don't bother me. They add about as much value as people who tell me they had a jelly sandwich for lunch.
- Robert Scoble
Jeff Pulver Followers every p0rn site and spammer who Follows him, check his Following list
- paul mooney
paul: here's a little trick: I do most of my following in friendfeed. Why? Better friend management.
- Robert Scoble
I also have issues bc what I have to follow for work is very different from what I want to follow, but that is another issue.
- Michelle
Twitter has gone the way of email, that's why Twitter Search doesn't work - the system is overwellemed!
- paul mooney
Bill: actually you only need to follow a few people to get a pretty good look at the good stuff. Why? If something is good everyone talks about it.
- Robert Scoble
Michelle - same issue here! work vs. professional following and juggling multiple accts
- Kirsten Hamstra
paul: it still works for me. I just skip over the spam. My mind likes seeing spam and noise. It helps me see the news.
- Robert Scoble
For the rest of us - just friend Scoble -- you might hear about stuff delayed 5 minutes or so.
- Brian Sullivan
Where do I get one of these neat sockets in the back of my head, I get dizzy just trying to follow 2K people.
- dabitch
All the Twitter marketers are auto-Following the spammers, it's a perfect storm
- paul mooney
paul: in email I don't care about the spam either. I can always scan a page of spam and find my boss' emails for some reason.
- Robert Scoble
reminds me of roy - I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate.
- mike "glemak" dunn
Brian: that is true. My like feed at http://www.friendfeed.com/scoblei... is pretty good.
- Robert Scoble
That's why people who don't follow others on Twitter are kinda of missing the point, aren't they? I love seeing when people are being followed by 30,000 people but following 2.
- Curt Mercadante
BTW Robert, props on following the Iran elections. Hopefully this will open our eyes to what has been happening in Egypt, Russia, Pakistan and a host of other countries for decades. If Benezir Bhutto were alive and had been elected like she would have been, we'd live in a different world.
- Michelle
so robert - could you be an android ;)
- mike "glemak" dunn
Robert: so in a way, if you follows all that people, we actually needs to follow only one person, which is you. here's why: it is most likely that you'll post about the major stuff that you read about in your friends stream - which make you a better filter than any other service around :) (I'm following lots of people too because I simply like to find and read about new and exciting things)
- Orli Yakuel
I totally agree with you Robert. It's like holding your hand into a jet of water and drinking from time to time.
- nik
you need to have the spirit of sharing good stuffs to others, or the good only reaches you but does not spread out.
- K.D.
I cannot get people to join FriendFeed. I even did a video showing them how great it is. I cannot seem to follow that many more on Twitter than 200 and keep up with them. I tried Tweetdeck, but it just used too much RAM for me.
- Hummie
The REAL trick here is that you have a natural gift for scanning with your eyes. I would follow many more people if I could scan (and absorb) information as quickly as you do. Since I don't, I follow you. You are among my first line of defense.
- Bettina Tizzy

- junrxu
Sounds a little like Joey Osmond - Robert I see patterns Scoble? Definitely agree though - there is useful information that can be pulled from the right people's twitter/friendfeed that gives trends developing real time, as long as sea changes over longer periods
- Tom Tubbs
Hmmm, why is http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... faster than http://friendfeed.com/public ?
- Greg Byrne
holy shit robert... i just had my mind blown watching your live friendfeed. this whole time i've been trying to control the chaos... keep people organized into neat piles. wow... wowow
- Eric Nakagawa
You are so right!
- Thomas Chai
@Hummie: I had the same problem with TweetDeck. Try SeesmicDesktop, it has similar functionality but less RAM-greedy
- Ashalynd
Robert do you have a link to the video you did showing 'how' you manage all this information flow? I would enjoy watching it again.
- Matt Perry
here's another interesting search which will show all scoble's friends' items that have at least 1 like: http://friendfeed.com/search... only wish this were realtime
- Mike Chelen
Robert - cool post, excellent comments - same exact reason I embraced FF in early days and stayed here!! Love it
- Susan Beebe
Robert since I have been following you I have done a complete 180 on how I felt about social networking before. I mean the media is fast but social networking works at the speed of thought. Now if I could only figure out how to interact behind the Army & Airforce firewall... I felt lost today at work... LOL
- Nathan McClain
Matt, I think that video is this one: HOw I Read Tweets: http://www.kyte.tv/scoblei...
- Robert Scoble
Orli the problem with only following me is that I need to sleep once in a while and I also might not follow people you care about. For instance, if you are into celebrities and not technology I totally wouldn't be good for you to follow.
- Robert Scoble
we know what I care about and I'm glad that I'm following you! but I got the point, and I agree of course. I was just kidding I guess..
- Orli Yakuel
Great video. Watching it again now...
- Matt Perry
Yeah some wild connections are made by watching a lot more than a few friends. Wonder why most people don't "get" that? Researchers should follow a ton of people and sources.
- Jack Humphrey
Jack: actually, people should do BOTH follow a ton of people and sources as well as follow just a very select group of people. I wish I could share my groups (er, lists of friends) with you all. THEY are going to be the secret to filtering in the future.
- Robert Scoble
I'm lazy. I use your feed as my pre-filtered source of good/interesting general information. Thanks for doing a lot of the hard work for us (or at least me).
- John Meagher
Robert I think you are 100% correct, but it touches on what people should have already been doing, and that's getting as much information as they can from as many sources as they can and putting the facts together for themselves. I think traditional media's days of fact-less reporting are thankfully numbered. This is truly Fair and Balanced!!!
- Nathan McClain
Robert: People still won't get it. Seeing patterns is a talent or a skill. You can aid it, however, by showing or demonstrating how you filter for patterns. How do you scan messages and discern a pattern? How do you focus on a few without missing the patterns of the many? Might make a good presentation/blog. You probably already did it, right?
- Alan Eggleston
I don't think it requires following 125,000 people to be aware of the same trends.

Yeah. Robert, I don't read your stuff and I don't know if you're going to read this. But regardless, I know you're well famed and this is the first thing I skimmed across of yours that would indicate that it's deserved. I follow options in the same way., eg almost literally. I have TD StrategyDesk open right now, ThinkOrSwim, Power E*Trade Pro, OptionsXPress, and the regular TD Ameritrade website open as well. Doing this allows me to view and be ware of data and turning points in many views and levels
- Matt Kaufman
Robert: If you could follow all 100,000+ people from Twitter in real time within friendfeed would you?
- Garin Kilpatrick
Twitter is a helpful automatized hammer for the main engine, which is friendfeed ;
- ewing2001akaNicomedy2010
I don't see why you couldn't just save a search on everybody's posts with likes on FF though and still follow only those you actually read daily + any protected accts? Even build smarter searches than that. You increase the number of people following you by lots more your way of course.
- ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

Sorry. The trend watching and analytical part would be the same, wouldn´t it, except that I now see that the saved searches don´t update in realtime. Yet.

Nice post :-) Two questions though:
- Patrick Mackaaij
1. What sets apart the 100,000 people you "follow" to glance at once in a while from the everyone feed?
- Patrick Mackaaij
2. (a Friendfeed question): Do you still read this since I posted this comment a few hours after the initial conversation.
- Patrick Mackaaij
How did you find so many people to follow? How does an average user find so many to follow?
- Bas
Patrick: I was on stage and couldn't be on friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
Patrick: the people I follow are usually much more tech interested and demonstrate early adopted behavior than the larger public audience.
- Robert Scoble
Never mind all this. How's Opera? Got a link this morning and thought I might try it (what a surprise, me trying something).
- Francine Hardaway

- Tyson Key
Robert: Is this a Mandelbrot pattern? The chaos has a look, a feel and a taste, as in the jet of water analogy. You're the freakin' hydrologist with the dousing rod.
- Phil Boiarski
Robert: I was not expecting a real time response but was wondering how you keep track of all conversations you engaged with on FF. How can you see where comments are added?
- Patrick Mackaaij
I'm with Robert, just not with such a big of a scale. My point: I am noise and you are noise. Let's not forget there's a baby in that bathwater before one takes a blanket anti social network view of social networking!
- Mike Lewis
makes sense 2 me
- momonalona
OMG Robert I agree 100% BEFORE Twitter screwed with the @replies censoring us from seeing all that people tweeted... I could scroll through my home page and get the pulse of the world on Twitter! A beautiful site! Comparatively now: Twitter is silent.
- Arleen Boyd
Robert, I'm having a jelly sandwich for lunch tomorrow. ;-)
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
All major television networks/news outlets should hire Scoble and heed this advice based on this weekends events in Iran. They need to learn how to listen, filter and understand how social media can deliver real-time information around the world.
- E-Advocate Network

- yazarcizer
What tools are you using to keep track of the all that flows past?
- Inbox2 Team
Yeah, Robert is an Androïd! Each time I'm gotta 'like' 1 of his entries, comment, or visit links, I ask myself if I'm doing this because he is Scoble! Of course not: it's just because he's always pointing on valuable infos. And this is good for IT stuffs, for early adopters, for business.
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
So, Scoble proves that the best search & filter engine is Human. (Nah.. I'm not a 'groupie', never will ;-))
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
Curt, pple who don't follow others and hope to be followed & heard are obviously wrong. Social Media is not "Ego Media" ;)
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
Patrick, IMO Robert uses FriendFeed's search to find infos, & FF's email features to keep track of conversations & updates
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
or maybe you also miss some important ones because of the noise: like the patterns known by 99% of the users that have less than 1000 followers? does that make sense?
- Ouriel Ohayon
isn't that a little too much? do you even have time for anything else? Is it worth knowing about an earthquake some 30-40 minutes earlier than most people than spending some time with your real life friends?
- stefan
Stefan, the point is: if you want to spend as much time as possible with your real life friends, you have to be as efficient as possible during the time you spend in front of the computer. The more information you drink in a short time, the faster you can identify patterns.
- Brome
Best answer I've heard for why I'm also ok with following and listening to a ton of people on various platforms: "noise is like the lawn. It lets you see the flowers. - Robert Scoble"
- Leslie Poston
Wow, that's a clever use of the platforms!
- Il gareth in Milano
We need information so we can decide while staying in touch with reality. -> Filtering skills, Good Human filter, Good filter tool (FriendFeed).

- ewing2001akaNicomedy2010
Another FF question: I was under the assumption FF would merge duplicate imports so that conversations like these would remain in one place. If I do a search on a tending topic of today this does not seem to be the case: http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Patrick Mackaaij
@Brom, yes. but there is only so much information one can absorb at a time. 100.000 twitters and 25 FFs? Even half of it is too much for a normal person to take in that fast. Robert MUST be a robot O_O
- stefan
@Andy: I'd rather not see any duplicate URL's and have the conversation take place in one thread. Google Translate can solve the language problem. But my question at the moment was what the current status is. I see it's already discussed here: http://friendfeed.com/susanbe...
- Patrick Mackaaij
how do I follow thousands of people without clicking follow over and over
- Kyle Weller
Kyle: Use friendfeed and click "subscribe"
- Garin Kilpatrick
Kyle: its still required to click subscribe for each user, but those clicks are well spent, and FF also will show posts from friends-of-friends. another good option is to join some groups for subjects that interest you

No point worrying about things that you can't do anything about - often easier said than done though!
- Amy
It just makes you seem oddly human, which is not a way that I'm used to thinking about "famous" people. I think it's easy to forget that even hosts of internet gadgetry shows still use technology the same way that the rest of us do. If you are looking for a way to emotionally detach yourself, I suggest bacon. There's no problem too large for bacon to solve.

well, i'm definitely "oddly human."

One word: compartmentalization. Image the situation in a box with many helium balloons attached (a la Up), and imagine it floating away with the 'situation' in side. Imagining this is remarkable helpful. When your mind wanders back to the situation, scold and remind it about the balloon-box. Works well enough for me when I'm in or near a Pit of Despair.

When you figure it out let me know how.

Hah @PeterHimler I remember the day when Arrington grabbed my cell phone and immediately Twittered "I'm an idiot."

You can tell if you are a verified account, because it says "verified" when you visit http://www.twitter.com/scoblei... -- that makes me feel very weird.
- Robert Scoble
Embrace it, Robert :-)
- Jesse Stay
Looks like they're doing it for people that have had known impostors.
- drew olanoff
Anyway, if someone steals my account, or my cell phone, like Arrington demonstrated, how will Twitter know it's not me? They can't know. What if Arrington had changed my password while he had my cell phone? How would I let Twitter know?
- Robert Scoble
What was the verification process?
- Brian Sullivan
So have people decided to impersonate Scoble?
- Kenneth
Robert, how much are verified accounts and what are the requirements for getting them?
- Daynah
Robert, what about all the apps that have your password?
- Jesse Stay
Perhaps I should create a @RobertScoble account and see if I get more followers than Scoble? :)
- Kenneth
drew: yeah, celebrities, I guess. I have impostors. But I found they aren't that much trouble. Everyone knows the real Scoble. Just like everyone knows the real Shaq. But Twitter is doing that to make celebrities feel better.
- Robert Scoble
Will they do a verified account for everyone? Or just if you go over 1k followers?
- Dan Harbison
@Robert and to avoid lawsuits see: Tony Larussa
- drew olanoff
Would the real Robert, please step forward!
- Trad Robinson
I can verify to an extent that you're real. If you're on > x number of SocialToo whitelists, and not on very many SocialToo blacklists, there's a good chance you're real, or very interesting.
- Jesse Stay
next step: Twitter should require DNA tests before every tweet.
- Esteban Panzeri Glas
If you watch Facebook's Caitlin O'Farrell she recommends to celebrities that they "self verify" but talking to a video camera and saying "this is my account" and putting it online. I do that every few days, today on Fox News. :-)
- Robert Scoble
lol Rutger.
- Daynah
Jesse: that's a good example of how an algorithm could verify which one is real, although that would get gamed by someone interesting. Fake Steve Jobs, for instance, might look to an algorithm like he's "real." Well, except for the fact that he used "fake" in his name.
- Robert Scoble
Rutger: prove that this isn't Scoble. Or prove that it is. :-) Sometimes I'm not myself, what then?
- Robert Scoble
The real Robert wouldn't be on Fox News... I think we need a DNA test!
- Trad Robinson
Oh, and what about the celebrities that are verified, but don't write their own Tweets. Like Guy Kawasaki, for instance.
- Robert Scoble
My question is this: the Internet is supposed to be a equalizer right? Well what if you have the same name as a celebrity. I understand the logic of giving it to celeb over joe blow but what if there is an A list celeb and a B list celeb with same name or if the B list celeb is a famous scientist but the A list is an actor. It's seems to me to be a flaw in the whole username as verification. Interesting debate on this - especially with the facebook drama that begins tonight at 12:01.
- Mike Bracco
Robert, I think this says that every Tweet from you from now on should be with a link to a video of you saying what you Tweeted. That way we can be sure.
- Jesse Stay
Mike: the Real Shaq doesn't have his real name. It doesn't bother him.
- Robert Scoble
Here, do a Google search for "Shaq Twitter" and see what comes up: http://www.google.com/search...
- Robert Scoble
See, Google knows who the real Shaq is.
- Robert Scoble
If everyone in the world had a verified FF account then we wouldn't need to have individual verification on all the other accounts. right?
- Mike Bracco
It makes me feel safer...
- Steve Brand
It''s a verified account, not a verified person... which tells me it's not a 14 year old in his basement pretending to be Britney
- Jorge Escobar
Yeah, I guess Google knows all. In that sense it's really only the people who are not really "in the know" who could be fooled by fake accounts.
- Mike Bracco
Now, does Britney know how to read or write? Probably not.
- Jorge Escobar
I want to know who's funding this
- Jim Schweitzer
Jorge: yeah, maybe you have a point. Funny, that @britneyspears claims it's real, but hasn't been verified. Google pulls up that account when searching for "britney spears twitter."
- Robert Scoble
wonder why ijustine not verified yet, she should be by now
- polou/indigo_bow
There's actually a help page on this topic already on Twitter: http://twitter.com/help... and I quote: "(This does not mean we have verified who, exactly, is writing the tweets.)" ;-)

Also: "We're working to establish authenticity with people who deal with impersonation or identity confusion on a regular basis.", I guess http://twitter.com/ev is not one of them.

I think libraries are the greatest invention. Pretty much ever. "Here - take this and read it. Bring it back when you're done, k?" Brilliant.

Weil der Amazon Kindle zu wenig Möglichkeiten bietet, auf Internet-Inhalte zuzugreifen, wird ihm der große Durchbruch versagt bleiben. Warum lässt Amazon nicht einfach zu, dass man Inhalte per RSS abonniert? Als extrem mobiler Reader für digitale Text-Inhalte wäre er ideal.

I've actually been to quite a few of these all across Europe, and they're even more awesome (and smell FANTASTIC) in person. Some are considerably smaller than the photos make them appear, which is always interesting (kinda like the church in the wedding scene in The Sound of Music...it's seems huge on film, but it's really this dinky little chapel filmed wide and high). Really great to be reminded of those visits. Thanks for posting this. :)

Louie is one of those guys who always ruins a party. Sigh. Today I saw Dark Knight, which was OK, but Maryam thought it sucked. Argued politics at one party. Talked about all sorts of things at another party. Now am working on a column about the future of journalism.

this reminds me very much of when girls would give us a hard time for talking sports all day. The sentiment is captured well in City Slickers. What's important to some folks just isn't to others.

I can't seem to access the article, but I get the drift. I like Clay Shirky's talk on video discussing where we find the time: http://tinyurl.com/5o79x3 I tell my colleagues that, yes, a lot of people are busy, but then a lot of other people also just watch TV. I spend hours online instead of (or often in addition to) watching TV. Television has made our minds very inactive over the years.
- Connie Crosby
So true. That's why most of my non-geek friends have a Facebook/MySpace account. I guess we all must be living in the Matrix.

I use Social Media quite a lot, but I probably watch less than an hour's TV a month. I'd rather interact with 'real' people - geeks or otherwise, online, than suffer the largely mindless dross and BS pumped out of the idiot box, which I can't answer back.

It also depends on age demographics. Being 27 - everyone my age and below spends hours on Facebook/Myspace or both. My housemate is just two years old and has a Myspace account but barely uses it. I think Social Media is something the younger generations have as a part of their life and devote their time to it like it was any other entertainment vessel....

In my opinion, this goes much deeper then your regular crowdsourcing. Starbucks is very activly engaging with it's community. They are discussing ideas and give constant feedback through the blog on stuff getting implemented. They are changing the relationship with their customers.

Once I saw this guy with a coffee on the roof of his car. I stopped him and told him and it turned out it was a Starbucks marketing gimmick/trick. The guy was driving around with a cup of coffee on his car and giving coupons out for free coffee when people told him. http://www.flickr.com/photos... I wonder who came up with *that* idea.
