Still feel actually going outside and feelign the sun and going physically to a coffee shop and meeting friends is a heck of a lot better than using twitter
- Greg
Calacanis's new podcast This Week in Startups is a great idea. Hope you talk about it today on TWIT. Follow my startup @LeannoSoftware
- Derrick Tittsworth
Adrian, as am I. this is amazing. Has come full circle from the days of Leo on TV
- Derrick Tittsworth
Leo, I was just watching http://live.twit.tv using my PS3's browser on my HD TV, and I must say. You look really good in HD, and on TV again!
- Dakota O'Neill
Your YouTube video is the same width as your written content. It looks fine on Safari 3 browser.
- Gregg Scott
this is the first time I figured out how to ask someone I am following a question- did you set up something special to allow this or am I just missing out on how to direct message someone I am following. I had tweet deck on my screen but it was hogging too much memory- I think.
- Karen Hansen
haven't really use tweetdeck. Not too impressed with adobe air
- Adrian Izquieta
greg, in chrome it's wider this time than it should, glad it look okay in safari
- Anne Wayman
Hey- I see Richard Branson is in your followers, cool! BTW I had your father as an advisor at UC.
- Karen Hansen
Ya took over a day to unisntall Adobe Air off one computer here and Adobe support did not come up with a fix rather another user did. Never reinstalled it
- Greg
adobe loves to do that. they install ton of other stuff along with their products
- Adrian Izquieta
tweetie is my favorite so far. Very simple and clean
- Adrian Izquieta
So duh- then this is friend feed that is allowing us to ask these questions, but then how can we get such access to folks with just basic Twitter, or can we not, or how does the direct message work? THX for all the support here. I started Twitter just last night after hearing Leo encourage us to use it for other things, for example, I am a fairy big activist - I see PETA had us signing a petition last night right after I began following them.
- Karen Hansen
Back one more question, how can I be sure I have set up my twitter account so that others can direct message me? I see one person I am following me has me set up with DM on- sorry for the moron questions- multi tasking and short on time
- Karen Hansen
Someone smart I know runs this account. The stories he tells me about it is very interesting. People tweet him requests for help and he answers them.
- Robert Scoble
there are quite a few do-gooders and selfless citizens hidden amongst the Twitter masses. It's a wonder to find such people to follow. check out @hardlynormal for one.
- Andy Sternberg
Like a social media Dear Abby? There's also http://twitter.com/thankgod, which tracks everything people are thanking God for. Interesting to watch: a mixture of the irreverent, the gracious, and the sarcastic.
- Mark Trapp
God told me there is also @almightygod.
- Robert Scoble
Mr. Scoble- that was the funny- "God told me there is also@almightgod"
- Enriqueta
God listened every time. Did you listen for Him?
- Nate True
What am I, chopped liver? You are so not getting a chocolate Easter bunny this year.
- TweetJeebus
Enriqueta I am talking with @god right now. He was at a party that Geoffrey Arone @fredo threw for a bunch of MIT Students. Arrington was here earlier too.
- Robert Scoble
You really want to follow @god. He is going to hand out beta invites for something that's VERY cool.
- Robert Scoble
Already following several Gods, @almightygod is arguing with @god as we speak. There is a guy called @Jesus who only has thirteen followers.
- Chris Loft
Those thirteen followers are his apostles. Is it sacrilegious to follow multiple Gods? Polytheism?
- Steven (optionshiftk)
I would never even fathom the idea of creating any type of account with @God, @Jesus, @Almighty, etc... in the name. That's just me though.
- frank barry
I could make a figurative "Deal with the Devil" and when i say Devil, I mean Twitter Devil and when I say figurative I mean get your coat.
- Matthew DeVries
So Twitter Jews believe that @jesus existed and was a very good tweeter, but simply wasn't the son of @god?
- Matthew DeVries
god goes digital!!! that was so funny! Matthew you mean to say Jewish im sure i back up all my frndz from all religions so be nice
- Mystika
mine is blank :) but my dad uses google calendar.
- Goktug Gedik
Gmail. :) I pretty much keep my session set so that Gmail, GReader, and Friendfeed are open all the time.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I use "Speed Dial", a Firefox add-in, which shows my 20 top favorite websites - displayed as thumbnails images all on 1 page ...just click and go... very similar to the Opera browser and Google Chrome's home page idea.
- Susan Beebe
It used to be iGoogle but I have recently switched to Gmail since I have added the FriendFeed, Remember The Milk and Calendar modules - I highly recommend it!
- Luca Belletti
from IM
Leave two pages open in Flock - Friendfeed and google reader - iGoogle would probably do though.
- Alistair (alpinefolk)
The Friendfeed integration with GTalk is one reason for my potential switch.
- Steve Rubel
iGoogle's my home page, but more often than not I head to Twitter first.
- Rod Nicolson
I have several - Gmail, Google Reader, Friendfeed
- Wayne Schulz
I use iGoogle for my homepage, with the Gmail gadget on there of course!
- Ken Knecht
@steverubel Gmail is also one of my browser's start tabs. I also open Friendfeed, twitter, and GReader via Tab Mix Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US...)
- Czar
Gmail, iGoogle, and a handmade page full of links in the browser; FF in a mini window off to one side; and Digsby in the systray for Twitter . . .
- LJF Wolffe
iGoogle, but I also use the speed dial in Firefox (plugin) and Google Chrome (home page).
- Philip Norton
about:blank Helps me be mindful of where I really want to go when starting a session
- Peter Svensk
iGoogle (with the friendfeed, nytimes, and reader gadgets)
- don loeb
The only time I ever had a home page in any browser was when I made my own little no-frills browser and hard coded Google as its home page, which I ended up regretting, because it slowed the browser down.
- April Russo (app103)
'blank' as each time I open the browser I always want to go somewhere different. BB keeps me up to date with email..
- Nigel Stolting
I'm still Google Reader. I still use Twhirl mostly for FriendFeed.
- Jesse Stay
I launch my browser with four tabs, in this order: 1) Gmail 2) Pandora 3) Google Reader 4) Twitter
- Bryan Person
Google Reader with the FriendFeed real-time sidebar open at all times. I usually have Gmail and Facebook always open in a tabs most of the time. Not a fan of gateway sites like iGoogle. Can't get used to the layout. Not intuitive to me.
- Rolf Schewe
jellodash as my homepage with yoono as sidebar. sometimes also oodesk.
- Stefan Lafloer
I tried that for a while but it takes too long for the page to load. Might be different with FF3 though. Currently it is iGoogle for me.
- Rob
iGoogle: Gmail (by Ginga) & Remember the Milk gadgets on top. My iGoogle tabs are News (Google, Digg, Fark), Social (FF, Twitter, Facebook), Docs (Google Docs, Notebook) and Pandora loads in my Vista sidebar automatically.
- Gus
New tabs (or windows) are blank. GReader & Friendfeed are always open. Others as needed.
- LogEx
FriendFeed,Twitter,Gmail,GReader,iGoogle,Twhirl - infernal machine.:)
- Igor Poltavskiy
I use an easily-updated all-white homepage made out of a Word document that I saved to HTML and posted online with "No Index, No Follow" tags. I use a lot of websites and databases that require a user name and password, and I like to have all of these sites in one place where I can control how they are clustered together (example: Databases, Company Information, List Sources, etc.). The page also includes frequently used form letters. I also love the fact that the UI is completely commercial free.
- Ecommerce Jobs
I use speed dial (fire fox) it has windows that thumbnail 9 sights of my choice. On my windows box its ff, and gaming sights and wilik's. On my linux box is ff assorted wiki's and forums.

WarMaiden: I already know that Phelps won a goal and set a world record but it won't be on here in California until later tonight.
- Robert Scoble
TV is dead. Time delays are dead. In Canada, they don't allow local broadcasting of election results until your region's polls have closed. The Internet has killed that old-fashioned idea. Time delay TV is so 1988.
- Stephen Pierzchala
We hear this every four years, but if you truly want the Olympcs to be live with the 12-hourdifference, be waring to go at 3 a.m. That said, I notice that at least for the East Coasters are getting some of the big events live while us West Coasters have to wait three hours... But we're used to that...
- Chris Reed
CBC is the perfect model. Live, inclusive, no smaltzy profiles, just the sports.
- Kathleen Mazzocco
NBC sucks. Why aren't they showing more of the Olympics? At 7 they showed Access Hollywood Weekend, now they are doing "Olympic Zone" live from Downtown Palo Alto??? WTF??
- PC Easy
from twhirl
Robert, you sure are in a hateful mood tonight..but I am with ya..so carry on.
- Scot Duke
that sucks. here in Detroit we've got the CBC too, although at least on EST, they've had just as much live coverage for the first time since at least '92
- Richard Lawler
from twhirl
Scot: I hate it cause people are talking about it on Twitter and I can't watch for three more hours. Sigh.
- Robert Scoble
Agreed PC. Their announcers suck, their stupid commercial breaks every 5 minutes suck. Ugh, I want decent coverage of this stuff already.
- Dennis Jackson
I am with ya on the Twitter talk about it. I have been trying to watch it online and that sucks as well.
- Scot Duke
agreed that the CBC coverage has been great so far...too bad they've lost the broadcast rights for the olympics after this year...
- Trent Olson
I am so angry that I can't watch my friends who are racing over there...I have to read about it and hope for youtube. Not angry. Outraged.
- Andrew Feinberg
And the MSM wonders why people pirate content and feeds....
- Duncan Riley
gee .. like no-one thought this would happen huh .. a corporation re-writing history to help their bottom line .. I am so shocked <GASP>
- Steven Hodson
Robert - Yes East Coast, but they are back to recorded gymnastics. "LIVE" is gone.
- Ben Newton
I'm watching it live right now. Is it a west coast thing? There are tons of live events online this year, even practice sessions. Requires MSoft Silverlight but pretty good quality streams.
- Andrew Leyden
I watched the opening ceremony on my TV via Sopcast&Tvants (pc hooked up to TV). Watched it again in HDTV on NBC later that night. This link has all the ways to catch coverage http://howto.wired.com/wiki...
- Andrew Leyden
and you are surprised? at all? honestly?
- Thomas Vincent
I'm watching CBC in Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/olympics Do you think it would be any different if another network was covering the Olympics in the States?
- Phillip Jeffrey
Comcast added two special Olympic channels in the HD section--one for basketball and one for soccer. There is also Universal HD which has some coverage, USA Network, Oxygen, CNBC and MSNBC, and Telemundo. I'd spin around to see if you can find anything live at the moment (I think there is a basketball game on now).
- Andrew Leyden
Have you tried nbcolympics.com? I know they are having some events live. Personally I don't have a problem with the delay. With a choice of the races being broadcast live but not seeing them and being able to see the delay I'll take the delay.
- ChiliMac
If you want live, unfortunetly the only way is through the web. And they are raw feeds using MS Silverlight. So if your willing to deal with that you can get all of the events in a pop-up window on your computer. : |
- Bluesun 2600
from twhirl
On the West coast in .au we are use to 2hr delay for most sporting events, but not the Olympics. Appears to be live at, least on SBS the "complementary" broadcaster, time to settle down for 3 hours of the womens cycling road race.
- Nick Cowie
whenever the olympics take place on the other side of the world most events aren't shown live. This is not about broadcasting the olympics as a public service. It's about NBC making their money back. You do understand the relationship between ad rates and prime-time, right? The Internet takes away any suspense about the olympics when they are held on the other side of the world. You ain't gonna get live from NBC. Too much money at risk.
- Dave Madison
part of the coverage is live at least on the east coast. there has been some effort to schedule a few important US events in the morning a la Phelps so that they can be seen live on primetime
- Ted
Adding insult to injury, my rather capable PowerPC Mac can't even access the Olympics on nbcolympics.com. It's using an Intel-only version of Silverlight. Trying CBC and other foreign networks online all reject me because of my American IP, and I haven't found a successful proxy server that'll let me stream.
- Kevin Hessel
loving nbc's use of silverlight working awesome on the macbook pro
- adolfo foronda
The BBC have just had to put a bucket into the Olympics studio in Beijing as the roof is leaking!
- Rich
@Kevin Hessel: Thanks for pointing that out. Now I'm not happy with NBC either.
- ChiliMac
try watching CBC channel 99 on Comcast. I just watched USA creamed China in basketball, live.
- ~C4Chaos
NBC focuses too much on the #olympics drama rather than live coverage. bball on primetime? USA already creamed China - http://bit.ly/1cQyX2
- ~C4Chaos
NBC sucks. I started a public email protest here: http://n2.nabble.com/NBC-Oly... - please help to spread the word. If more people work together to get their message to NBC, they will have to act. Blogging and commenting like this are just too scattered and too easy for NBC to ignore.
