Tease:
- Leo Laporte
@scobelizer the IRC is where it's at!
- Andrew Euell
EFnet ftw ;)
- Jay Neff
exploring the darkside of twitter on NPR http://www.npr.org/templat...
- Carl Golden
I've got to remember to use this service more often.
- Shane Tilton
from BuddyFeed
Blippy certainly is pushing the boundaries.
- Caleb Elston
I think he has something to, like you said Leo adding Netflix, Amazon, etc Affiliate links in for instant monetization
- Jay Neff
Can I get a scale that lies about my weight then twitters?
- Ghworg
It's all opt in, you decide what you want to share, it isn't as big of a deal as I first thought with concerns of privacy really
- Jay Neff
Really want a FitBit
- Caleb Elston
I think I need to take a screen cap of this. No Johnny W liking a TWiT post. Hmmm he must be busy today. lol
- Bill Heslin
Wow. IRC is so crazy. I think the story of the decade is surely mobile and email. The iPhone's popularity is huge for this. Google too.
- Elliot Christenson
Leo busy FF room today. Hey everyone!
- Bill Heslin
Hey Bill!
- Caleb Elston
Hi Caleb
- Bill Heslin
Scoble are you going to talk about TSA restrictions on electronics on plane?
- Peter Trussell
Maybe
- Robert Scoble
Really excited by Square, could really shake up the payments space. PayPal for the real world.
- Caleb Elston
and PayPal sucks lol
- Jay Neff
here we go. iSlate lol
- Caleb Elston
boy if Apple doesn't deliver they are in trouble
- Kim Landwehr
Tablets haven't worked that well in the market, so it makes sense that they'd call it a slate instead of a tablet.
- Jeff Harbert
@Kim, yeah- I actually just sold the rest of my AAPL stock.
- Caleb Elston
All time high, taking profits. Will buy back in a month or so
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb, wish I had AAPL stock to buy and sale (:
- Kim Landwehr
@Kim not really much stock just about 25 shares
- Caleb Elston
The tea leaves for iSlate is the brand new iTunesLP creation tools. All HTML, CSS, Javascript
- Caleb Elston
So where do you guys discover the majority of your technews? (besides TWIT :)
- Caleb Elston
Caleb - Lifehacker, MakeUseOf, MaximumPC, Twitter.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - Digg, The Register, Twitter...
- Andrew
@Jeff cool, so no aggregators really?
- Caleb Elston
@Andrew Do you do much filtering on Digg? Just the tech areas for instance?
- Caleb Elston
Yeah the Tech page is set as my starting point.
- Andrew
@Caleb, No, I don't like aggregators. Even for blogs, things like Google Reader and Bloglines annoy me.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - One exception to that is Popurls. That one's handy.
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff Interesting. Is there something in particular about them you dislike?
- Caleb Elston
Yeah I barely look at Google Reader any more, it's just like a huge inbox you have to crawl through now.
- Andrew
@Caleb - Readers don't give me blog comments, for one. I also find that the look and feel of a website will help me remember where I first read something. Blog themes are also usually stripped out and made homogenous by readers. Don't care for that.
- Jeff Harbert
can someone post the links to the #twitdecade videos leo plays
- Andrew Euell
this guy is annoying
- Mark
news producer guy
- Mark
I've gotten nearly all my breaking news this year from Twitter.
- Jeff Harbert
I learned about Twitter on TWiT. TechTV and it's spawn are one important story of the decade.
- Jason R
Twitter definitely provides most of the news/links that I click on. I prefer the layout/design of Original Signal to Popurls, just a shame it seems to have been abandoned. Only annoyance is no way to turn off the popups when you hover on a link.
- Andrew
"we have some deep integrations coming with a bunch of different players and big announcements coming up" --Kevin Rose on TWiT
- Andrew Euell
anyone know if traffic on digg.com is still growing?
- Mark
I think the fire alarm is starting to beep more frequently...
- Andrew
Story of the decade is REALLY TWIT. I agree with Jason Robertshaw. I learned of Twitter on TWIT.
- Elliot Christenson
those glasses dont suit her
- Mark
I agree with her comment. (Now I just need a piece of inexpensive hardware to switch between USB webcams.)
- Jeff Harbert
I like my Zi8, but the EIS could be better.
- Jeff Harbert
haha! 640x480
- Andrew Euell
I had a cheap HP camera back in the day. Utter crap.
- Jeff Harbert
Heh, my mom had the Sony Mavica! :)
- Ken Wiesner
My last employer had a floppy-drive Mavica.
- Jeff Harbert
we had a mavica for a trip to vegas with the family. BACKUPS could be a story of the decade. Digital is now practical because of BACKUPS.
- Elliot Christenson
I know Carbonite is a sponsor but I gotta say their product for Mac really sucks. It doesn't backup video automatically! You have to manually select video files to backup. I switched to Backblaze. We should try to get them as a TWiT Sponsor!
- Ken Wiesner
Am I the only one that thinks location services like Foursquare are dumb?
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff hate to disagree, but I think location is actually a core element to be shared. Just like Photos, Video, Text...location is next.
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb - but it's so transitory. So I check in at a bar - I won't be there an hour later.
- Jeff Harbert
People recommend you for the "Crunk" badge. :)
- Ken Wiesner
@Jeff that's true, but tweets are similarly ephemeral, but we now have much better realtime alerting systems so you can actually know about that right away.
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb - And it also does me no good to know where anyone non-local to me is. Scoble is having dinner at the Ritz - I'm across the country, so what use is that to me?
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff, bingo - and if you're in a small town, who cares that you just popped down to the gas station in your pyjamas?
- Andrew
@Jeff that might be true for Robert, since you don't really know him, but if it were your son or brother it might be interesting, a conversation starter for the next time you speak.
- Caleb Elston
@Andrew - Exactly, which is why I think these services are dumb.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - I'm actually acquainted with Robert. It still does me no good to know he's having dinner at the Ritz because he's nowhere near me.
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff Touche haha
- Caleb Elston
Love Amazon Prime.
- Jeff Harbert
I love how the book store guy is kicking everyone's ass in the cloud space. :)
- Ken Wiesner
Bezos is a force of nature in business.
- Jeff Harbert
NASA should limit its spending to human exploration related activities.
- Jeff Harbert
Leo is dropping comments about his wealth alot lately
- Mark
@Mark I think Leo is very pleased and confident about the success of TWiT.
- Jeff Harbert
best ad transition to date
- Andrew Euell
Pet peeve - that's navigation, not GPS.
- Jeff Harbert
A TWiT conversation is going to hit best of day. It's been awhile. Love it...
- Bill Heslin
Automatic parallel parking is a joke. If you can't drive, don't drive.
- Jeff Harbert
I love that electric vehicle thing! That would be so cool! And I cannot wait to become popular P:
- Zachary TG
Fully automated cars would be cool though. Real life savers, since most people don't know how to drive safely.
- Jeff Harbert
Robert's is right Microsoft is just not cool anymore
- Kim Landwehr
I'd still like to have a full computer in my car.
- Jeff Harbert
Doesn't the decade begin in January 1st, 2011?
- Héctor
Dave Winer and RSS , Scoble names his child after RSS ...I may have to unblock you Robert...lol
- Bill Heslin
@Héctor - Leo mentioned that in yesterday's TWiG. He said he'd rather get a little email from correct listeners like you than wait a year and get 10x more from people who think it begins 1-1-10.
- Jeff Harbert
Correct. I remember arguing about it 10 years ago, but this time around I don't feel like nitpicking for that same exact reason. Sounds like a good plan.
- Héctor
I don't like the iPhone. I need a real keyboard.
- Jeff Harbert
Thinking of getting a Droid to replace my Blackberry in Sept when my current cell contract is up for renewal.
- Jeff Harbert
Yeah I'm going to drop my BlackBerry Storm - was such a disappointment.
- Andrew
Night all
- Caleb Elston
Electric vehicles will fit 95% of everyone's vehicle needs. Yes, you will need a second vehicle.
- Jeff Harbert
Sorry, it's the public holiday here in Oz for Boxing Day... I just woke up and I'm now going for a swim...
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Later Caleb!
- Jeff Harbert
Hey Johnny...Was wondering where you were...Enjoy your day!
- Bill Heslin
Please stop thinking that electric cars will 100% replace normal cars.
- Jeff Harbert
And btw, good old lead-acid batteries are just fine for electric cars. We don't need a battery breakthrough.
- Jeff Harbert
Thank goodness for holidays - this is the first time I've been able to watch TWiT live, as it's after midday Monday in NZ. Although luckily TWiG falls on Sunday here. :)
- Andrew
audible = DRM = FAIl
- Mark
hey you know how audible uses DRM, how does that work on a CD since a CD doesn't support digital copy protection does it?
- Mark
(you can burn audible to cd)
- Mark
If you think about it most people spend most of their time driving to and from work and around town, a perfect use for electric vehicles
- Kim Landwehr
"earthy crunchy" --Leo Laporte on Kevin Rose
- Andrew Euell
@Kim - Exactly. We don't need 350 mile range. 80 is more than enough for most people.
- Jeff Harbert
you DO WANT Rackspace as a sponsor, trust me
- Mark
(they are very generous)
- Mark
Esp when Rackspace goes down and takes half the internet with it. Three times now? Or is it only twice?
- Jeff Harbert
meh every host goes down
- Mark
99.99% uptime
- Mark
@Mark - kills the "cloud" argument though. How can a cloud go down?
- Jeff Harbert
well if someone unplugs the power for computers in the cloud i guess
- Mark
What kind of plasma?
- Jason R
If that's the case, Rackspace needs to restrict access to their power cords. ;)
- Jeff Harbert
gotta agree on the HD
- Kim Landwehr
there are a whole bunch of weather/technology metaphors yet to be exploited with this whole "cloud" thing
- Andrew Euell
HD really has made web video in particular much more enjoyable.
- Jeff Harbert
giant women have never been so attractive
- Andrew Euell
has a DVD screener leaked yet hehe
- Mark
Blogs aren't history, they've become enhancements & supplements to videos and tweets.
- Jeff Harbert
I like that comment by Leo - why pigeonhole it? It's all content.
- Jeff Harbert
Yay. Dr. Kiki rocks
- Bill Heslin
"tough ass particle" --Leo Laporte on the Higgs Boson
- Andrew Euell
great - I could understand all of the previous video vignette's except the bio-tech one ;)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
....and an overpolluted planet with 15 billion people. Something to look forward to.
- Jeff Harbert
aging a disease? Cure that, that would b awesome
- Bill Heslin
what about a cure for sleep, free of side effects of course
- Andrew Euell
@Andrew - or just make sleep more effective. I'd love to get by on 3-4 hours per night.
- Jeff Harbert
Biggest story of the decade - social media. It changed the societal consciousness.
- echostreamer
it's not Facebook per se, but rather the ability of any company to connect that many people on the internet: Orkut, Twitter, Google Groups, etc
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)

- Zachary TG
Fun show, guys.
- Jeff Harbert
Great show, long live TWiT!
- Andrew
digitel yamah keyboeerds and roland key boerds have realy advanced in sound and what u can do with them
- daveccorey
Why is the Tricaster such a POS???
- Ken Wiesner
Leo thank you for another great year....Peace to you and your family...Have a GREAT New Year. We'll B Here!!!!
- Bill Heslin
I noticed on the TWiT youtube channel, Windows Weekly is watched 5-6 times more than the other shows
- Mark
As it should b Mark. it's a great show... :)
- Bill Heslin
Windows Weekly is 12500+ per show. TWiT the flagship is 2 or 3000
- Mark
The different shows all have different user/viewer profiles for live, re-run, download and now youtube. It's amazing to see the variances
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Is the inevitable future of FF/Twitter/Etc to be crowded up with advertisements?
Laurentiu, Mark Trapp, Mike Fruchter and 3 other people liked this
I hope not.
- Voyagerfan5761
later adopters should think this is a good place for ads.
- K.D.
Most likely Anthony, it's already started with twitter japan. Just a matter of time before were loaded down with banner ads.
- Mike Fruchter
Ads? What ads? ... You mean there's people out there who aren't using AdBlockPlus?!?
- cerement
If not ads, then what?
- Jason Wehmhoener
Pay-to-play, pay for advanced features, buyout by giant company, sponsored feeds, to name a few.
- Mark Trapp
I like the concept of "pay for advanced features". What would those be?
- Jason Wehmhoener
I think if twitter did not have the troubles they have with scalability, they could of easily introduced premium services by now generating some serious $$.
- Mike Fruchter
Mike, what's an example of a potential premium Twitter service?
- Jason Wehmhoener
Mark is right on. Not necessarily a whole whack of ads, but definately some sponsored content and advanced tools for pay. IMHO
- shanebe
I don't see how Adsense can be avoided. I'd love to think of a premium service for either Friendfeed or Twitter that folks would be happy to pay for, but I'm clearly not smart enough...
- Jason Wehmhoener
There's so much value in FriendFeed/Twitter for businesses to mine, they should be paying for the privilege of doing that instead of pasting stupid ads on the site.
- Tad
Paying for the privelige of mining value, huh? The API is already free... I don't get it.
- Jason Wehmhoener
:P details details. :D
- Tad
I could see things like an XMPP gateway or maybe even labels/filters being advanced paid features. Or maybe even a cost for service integration: want your service integrated into Friendfeed? Pay up.
- Mark Trapp
Yea I feel like they might offer the extended premium but i cant imagine what, but yea Mark, I see sponsored feeds in the FF future.
- Anthony
No, the future of FF is to be crowded up with Scoble.
- Robert Scoble
you mean present scoble
- Anthony
And future. I'm the social media fungus. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Scary Tales of the Future Present: It Came From Robert Scoble! This Saturday at the Fairview Cineplex! Leers! Jeers! Fears!
- Mark Trapp
ha...i heard when scoble posts a comment on your blog, an angel gets its wings...thats just what i heard tho
- Anthony
People will just move on to the next site, did anyone read the top story on Digg about the end of the web in 2012? Let's hope that isn't the future!
- Joe Dawson
You gotta watch this video by Google's Vint Cerf: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Robert Scoble
Ads won't work. What will work? http://www.winelibrary.tv will.
- Robert Scoble
If it does not impede my twitting or sharing then go for it. Ads on the side don't bother me.
- Admiral70
I think there can be "ads" -- but nothing like the online ads we've seen to date. Nothing annoying or untargeted. I'm thinking hyper-targeted community sponsorships that are grown organically from the interests of the people.
- Ginger Makela Riker
Why not a small text ad at the top of the page to the right of the everyone button?
