Went to Walgreens wearing a FF shirt. Clerk says "that's a funny shirt", I say "why? you know it's a company, right?", clerk says "oh, no, ha ha ... it thought it had something to do with begging your friends for food."

PayPal was (is?) down. Wonder how much that costs them per minute ...

And here's the answer "PayPal says about $2,000 in payments per second flows through the system, meaning that a one-hour outage would cut out about $7.2 million in commerce." - http://news.cnet.com/8301-10...
- Parker Barrile
That seems like a silly way of measuring the lossage for a site like PayPal where participants have accounts and there isn't a readily available alternative. If people are motivated to switch to a different site, it would cost PayPal a lot more; if not, people would presumably just postpone most transactions.
- Jim Norris
I think a lot of purchases are impulsive and timely, though, Jim. If you are at some Yahoo Store that uses PayPal and it doesn't let you check out, you will probably just find another online store to use that does work.
- Bret Taylor
I guess I was thinking that most usage came from sites like eBay where there wasn't really an alternative to PayPal.

My favorite part: "Despite Twitter being lumped in with Facebook and MySpace and blogs as part of the social network, Twitter isn't social. Skeptical? Try engaging someone in a hot (or even luke-warm) hashtag driven dialogue. By the time a tweet is posted, a message arrives that indicates there are 47 more results. Read those and 47 more results pile in. Hardly a conversation, unless you think the Chicago Board of Trade trading floor is a conversation. Setting aside the hashtag commotion, one could argue that users with smaller followings can more easily engage in a real conversation. One could argue this, but it would be wrong. There's that pesky 140 character limit. (Unless you set aside Twitter etiquette and string a bunch of tweets together. In which case, why not send a text or email?)" OR USE FRIENDFEED :-)

Swamped with exploratory conversations and interviews ... like dating, except you have weeks, not years, to decide whom to marry.
