More people watch Obama last night then watched the Olympics opening, American Idol final or the Academy Awards this year.

priorities? if that were the case college football would have won the night

Anyone know if this is just US viewing or worldwide?

Didn't America's Got Talent beat it, though?

And your source to support this claim that more people watched Obama than watched the Olympics opening?
- Michael Tefft
As per MG Siegler in a comment above: http://www.cnsnews.com/public... ... I've been hearing this mentioned on the news programs all day, as well.
- M. Donaldson
Michael: Claim? Dude, it was EVERYWHERE. and Jeff: Priorities? Above relatively meaningless things like the Olympics and the Oscars - and CERTAINLY football (!), then this metric of viewership is a wonderful indication.
- Steve Isaacs
This gets me to thinking...how likely is it that the "polls" that show a close race are complete bullshit promoted to keep ratings high? Why do I get the feeling that racists and crazed feminists aside that Obama is still running away with it? 36M is a big number.
- JonathanJoseph
JonathanJoseph, I hope you are not saying only racists and crazed feminists are not in favor of Obama as President. That certainly is not the case. There are a good number of people who simply disagree with his vision for America.

From what I can tell... Items you add to the "universal wishlist" do not show up in the friendfeed Amazon stream.

I just found this today actually, but had to use a 3rd party RSS generator to get a feed from my wishlist to FB...unfortunately the apps you reference in the TC article aren't even coming up in the FB app directory any more

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is on tv. The yellow subtitles and the closed captioning are very different translations. Kind of surprising.
Hillary Roberts, mjc, edythe and 5 other people liked this
that is quite odd. It would be even more interesting if you could understand the language and tell which was more accurate.
- David Adam
it could be either because of separate licensing agreements & vendors for the subtitles or because one is made for deaf people and the other for non-Chinese. Considering how many "fansubs" there are for Japanese animes, it's not really all that surprising.
- Vincent van Wylick
I think there are multiple versions of Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" out there too. One set of subtitles gives you a better sense for some of the Swedish wordplay and makes a couple of comic moments hilariously funny. The other, not so much.
- Karim
big up for the fansub-sceners :) how could i get my anime-fix without them?
- Chris Hofmann
After watching tons of English movies with Spanish subtitles and vice versa, I have lost all confidence in the accuracy of subtitles in conveying the movie's message. As a translator, I also know that the poor quality is a result of the pittance most studios pay for subtitling... guess they get what they pay for.
- Shannon Jiménez
Are the dubbed translations any better?
- Jim Norris
I love that movie though, on both an artistic and philosophical level.
- Colby Olson
One of my favorites: German movies with English titles that are simplified "translations" of the original English title. (Like "Miss Undercover", originally "Miss Congeniality".)
- Philipp Lenssen
Dubbing quality varies widely. Disney is pretty well known for their high standards for dubbing, while kung fu movies... not so much. I think that in general dubbing often requires more compromise in translation than subtitling, since the target-language words have to take the same length of speaking time as the source-language words.
- Shannon Jiménez
The closed captioning is probably the same as the dubbed translation which, as Shannon mentioned, has extra length constraints. (Aside: it seems weird to me for the closed captions to be in a different language than the soundtrack)

"There has been much talk of Twitter users moving over to FriendFeed since Twitter replies were down for the majority of last week. Twitter announced that they were back on Saturday in their blog, but seeing as the outage may have inspired some users to flock to FriendFeed, I decided to take a look at the 3rd-party applications and scripts that enhance the FriendFeed functionality. For those of you moving on to FriendFeed’s greener pastures, here are 13 essential tools for an organized, “noise”-free experience."

I thought about making NoiseRiver a closed alpha (by invites) actually. But then told to myself: to hell with hesitation, let's make it and face bugs together! ;-)

Directeur: Have you check you inbox for all your new followers lately?
- Russellreno
Congrats on all the great press!
- Patrick Lightbody
@Russellreno : ouch! It's full! I'm subscribing to many of them, maybe I'm skipping some but I'll definitely see that again :)
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
Thanks Patrick! Actually without the great feedback from you folks that wouldn't happen... The first 20 minutes of the launch were really HOT :)
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
D: BTW there is a GM script that will help you subscribe. Google "Better Friendfeed Subscribe to me". After you load it you go into your "People who scribe to me" tab. It adds a superscribe button.

Thanks for the info Russellreno! I'll download it now :)

Hey, would anybody care to share what a social media job is really like? I do SEM and have no idea if I'd even like a job like that. Can you describe a day in the life? Does it get old, or is it always fascinating??? Thanks!

You are correct, Hillary. Twitter is like watching a trainwreck these days that you don't want to crash.
