How to Carry Your Office on a Stick (USB Flash Drive) - http://webworkerdaily.com/2009...
"Thanks for the kind words. I know I am constantly impressed with the quality apps we can setup on our USB sticks. The vmware ACE product is the most impressive of the bunch. You pop in your thumb drive and your own desktop appears, connected to your company's network! Its desktop has all of your shortcuts to your fave apps too."

This Used To Be My Playground [FriendFeed] - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

"Maybe you’ve read some of the stories this past week about how FriendFeed’s traffic is way down following their sale to Facebook. The stats don’t look good, as the site’s traffic may have plummeted as much as 30% following its peak just prior to the sale. But to anyone who has meaningfully used the site since its inception, you probably didn’t needs stats to tell you what should be obvious: FriendFeed has turned into a ghost town."

"One of the most compelling things about FriendFeed has always been just how easy it was to have a conversation on the site. Someone posted an item, and within seconds, many had robust conversation threads updating in the speed of realtime beneath them. This also lead to the occasional trollish activity, but overall it was great."
- Kol Tregaskes
Everyone loves the death/failure of people, companies and services. Its similar to a mob chanting for the executioner to kill the prisoner. Kind of a blood lust.

I guess it depends where you go in FriendFeed. In my sphere (life sciences), FF is currently gaining a lot of traction and new traffic.

AJCann: it is my belief that FriendFeed will eventually find some nice niche audiences who will want to hang out here but I'm not sure it'll do well enough to survive long term and certainly not well enough to build a revenue stream for Facebook.
- Robert Scoble
The irony - many here worried that Facebook would kill FriendFeed. In fact, when many of us stopped using FF, we killed it.
- Rob McNair-Huff
Rob: sort of but I knew that first day that Facebook had bought FriendFeed for the team. That very first day there was a significant set of signals that FriendFeed wasn't going to get worked on further.
- Robert Scoble
I suspect the future hold ever closer integration for FriendFeed and Facebook, although whether that means the functionality of FF is moved into FB and FF eventually disappears is unknown at present. As long as the functionality of FF is maintained somewhere and not lost, that's fine. For me, this site is primarily about community, and ultimately I'll end up going wherever life sciences...

Web 2.0 social media killed the friend feed experience for me. It got harder to find any interesting, and original content. Look at your followers and see for yourself, the overwhelming majority are someway tied to marketing. These are your followers who speak at you, and do not have a conversation with you. I have nothing against marketing, I'm just saying to many chefs did spoil the soup.

Rebooting the workforce - http://webworkerdaily.com/2009...
"Sharein, the link sharing service, has responded to bookmarking web app Delicious’ new link sharing features by unleashing a raft of new functionality. Interestingly enough, much of this new functionality involves bookmarking, which is Delicious’ bread and butter. I guess you could say that is fair play, since link sharing is Sharein’s primary reason for being. In any event, all of this competition is ultimately good for all of us folks that just want to get things done faster and more efficiently. This new focus on saving links — not just sharing them — is a major shift for Sharein, meaning that you can now store these resources as you conduct research online for clients or projects. Let’s take a look at the new features."

I love when new technology doesn't just replace old ways of doing things but also improves upon it.

Re: Could Google Reader Become the Next Friendfeed? - http://www.damondnollan.com/2009...
"It's about time. I've been asking why Google hasn't done more with reader for years. Look at what 3 guys have done at Streamy... http://Streamy.com Not just a feed reader but friendfeed like conversations long ago along with meebo like IM intgration for all messengers as well as integration with other networks including twitter, facebook, etc. it's amazing stuff. I think Google will buy streamy and incorporate into google reader. Yahoo has been just as slow with delicious, only recently adding good social features for sharing. Sleeping giants are frustrating."

Members of 4chan's /b/ are indeed claiming that they exploited Twitter to cause the outage: http://ff.im/6fMrU -- whether they really did it or not is an entirely different story. /b/tards occasionally take credit for things that they do not do related to hacking / DDoS / etc

Robert apparently the site is "up" but the api is still shaky. Some apps are getting through while other's are still down. It probably has to do with network topography and where different apps backend servers are located.

Re: You are SO unfollowed! - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"Excellent analysis and experiment. Most of us can't even imagine what it would be like to try to follow over 100K on twitter. I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity but there's a strange dilemma that happens naturally on social networks...the more you increase the quality of your work (tweets, blog posts, videos, etc.) the more your network grows and thus the catch 22. It's a nice problem to have, Robert. Still, I guess it's a good thing that we have the option to do a social reboot (twitter bankruptcy) and start all over again at ground zero. The lesson learned is that we should handpick whom we follow or add to our network from the beginning. That's what I do and so glad I never used an auto follow back script. Thanks for doing this and sharing your experience with us. Also thanks for following me again. You were the first person I ever followed on twitter (thanks to http://dcortesi.com/tools...) and I remember how thrilled I was that Scoble followed me back...."

Re: A Brief and Informal Twitter Etiquette Guide - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/a-brief...
"Wonderful guide. I would add this. It's ok to share your honest opinion about things as long as you respect the opinions of others. There's a major difference between fact and opinion and you know what they say about opinions, right? For example, someone will tweet "I think Amy Adams is gorgeous!" some might reply "I think she's a dog!" which isn't nice (and insane lol) The better response would've been "Really? She doesn't do much for me" It doesn't disrespect the original opinion and shares your own (however wrong!) opinion at the same time. :)"
