Pigskin Radio – Episode 91 : Pigskin Radio – NFL – Fantasy Football – Dallas Cowboys Talk Podcast - http://pigskinradio.com/?p=544
This show remains nameless. Lendale White takes off the pounds with Tequila. We have a chat on the phone with Chad Dukes from the Lavar Arrington Show in DC. We talk Redskins and NFC East as well as the state of the NFL. Is Martellus Bennett or Chris Cooley the nutiest TE? Chad says Crumpler! Drew Brees deals with the death of his estranged mom. We also break down audio of Chris Collingsworth from the Hall of Fame Game.

What is half-and-half? Looking at http://cloverstornetta.com is see it is milk&cream. It looks like their cows are Holsteins, so you may be drinking milk with the good A2 protein.

I get 1/2 gal when quarts are sold out. With ultra-pasteurization, the expiration date gives plenty of time to finish it.

- Moose
Costco sells it by the half gallon as well. Probably for commercial use.
- shelter watch
Have been buying it that way for years at Safeway
- Jim Corkrum
@Moose - the milk industry is a heavily controlled vertical. Perhaps what Leo means is:: as demand for milk drops, farmers are left sitting on a lot of milk, that they sell by the pound, (hundreds at a time), and when this milk keeps coming out of the cows, they can either sell it, or dump it, or option 3 looks like they're forced to give you more. Without govt farm subsidy though, there'd be not a single farmer in america. the food industry has become ruthless enough they'd all go belly up.

This is the Butch Johnson episode. We talk about the celebrity holocaust, Michael Jackson (and a special joke from Idiot Mark), Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon and the great Billy Mays. We showcase with our interview with Matt Iseman host of Sports Soup on the Versus Network. Matt answers all of our dumb questions and proves he’s a real sports fan, but we thought that was obvious, man. Please join us in our folly, and don’t be a wiseacre.

If trade shows are dying, RIP tradeshows. Now if only other professions would catch on, for example, Medicine. All the time doctors and surgeons spend basically on vacation at 'conferences' could be better spent treating patients.
- Will Higgins™

- Mark Ramsey
Trade shows (or the way corporations advertise) are evolving with the Internet. The world is bigger than Twitter and FriendFeed...
- Mona Nomura
Mona FTW.
- Shawn Farner
Trade shows are dying though I still prefer the live demo and human interaction. Maybe, I'm a dying tech breed. :(
- Moushumi Kabir
Mona is right. FriendFeed has, what, 200,000 accounts. Twitter, Six million? Facebook: 140 million. If I were smart I'd be spending all my time on Facebook. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Does that mean your average and not SMART? if that's the case I want to be like Scoble!! ;)
- Paul
Yikes, you may want to start with the basics. You + are != your... @Robert: Facebook (their business model) truly baffles me.
- Mona Nomura
Paul: it's always smart to bet on doubling pennies. Er, things that are small, but influential, and that grow quickly. FriendFeed is going to be the thing that grabs attention next year. Just watch.
- Robert Scoble
I am sure it will, that is why I have gotten on board with friend since the beginning. I'm just waiting till it explodes!! ;)
- Paul
Ideal would be to combine the features of FB, Twitter, FF. I would then deal with that new and all-in-one app.
- Moushumi Kabir
Mona: it doesn't baffle me. Last night Zuckerberg gave me some insights. They are doing a lot better than most people are thinking. I'm working on an article about this. I talked with Tumblr's CEO today, too. He gave me even more insights into how these things will make money.
- Robert Scoble
I'm already bored with Facebook. But, it's cool to connect. All those sheep throwing, and now snowball are just waste of time. So don't like most of the apps there.
- Moushumi Kabir
That's what baffles me the most - if Zuckerberg is purely a salesman or if he can actually walk the walk. Just look what happened with the apps. That said, he is allowed to make mistakes, live, and move forward. I, for one, am excited for your write-up, Robert!
- Mona Nomura
Moushumi? Clearly, you do not understand Facebook. A little research may be helpful - salesforce.com ring a bell?
- Mona Nomura
When scrabble came back, and tcomments on statuses, I started to understand the poularity of FB
- anna sauce
I've been so bored with Facebook, I haven't even joined. My wife has and loves it but I have to ask is the risk of a computer virus worth it?
- Paul
No doubt their revenue model is good. Their social ads gives personal touch and people like appearing on ads, I guess, human nature. That itself is a selling point to friends/family.
- Moushumi Kabir
@moushumi I agree re: the sheep throwing and silly apps. I use IGNORE a great deal in Facebook.However, I have set up a couple of groups in there, and it does help with exposure when there are 140 million using the darn thing!
- Ian May
Along with having friends on facebook who you know personally who wouldn't want to join. Although that just means every virus writer is looking to find a weakness on every front of Facebook!!
- Paul
Mona, I understand it but just don't dig it. Understanding and liking are 2 diff things.
- Moushumi Kabir
The difference between FF and FB for me is this: In facebook I tend to connect with meatspace family and friends. Here I connect with those I'm interested in following. It makes a huge difference to the content I see, read, and act upon.
- Ian May
Ian, that makes sense. I like many features of facebook as I do of twitter and friendfeed. Combining those features will be ideal for me. My $0.02. :-)
- Moushumi Kabir
Re trade shows: some small ones could survive, in the right markets. I attend a public safety conference every year (over 1000 attendees). There are 4 (perhaps 5) major vendors at this conference, all competitors. With one exception, every vendor has been a conference sponsor every year. However, there's market consolidation (my division is being acquired by one of the competitors), so the conference could conceivably see a revenue decrease. But they won't close their exhibit hall.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
Then I do not understand why you guys are focusing on annoyances, when they have a lot of big things in store.
- Mona Nomura
Ian: I find the groups on Facebook subpar actually. There's no real incentive to check the discussion board of a group after you've joined it. Events are the same btw...
- Tom Ribbens
If only They could combine FF, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, and Some other good social media outlets then we would have a rockin place to be. No having to log in to one or the other just to check your messages.
- Paul
Oh, and regarding that conference - I suspect that I am the only attendee with a Twitter account, and the only one of two attendees with a FriendFeed account. Not sure how many blog or are on Facebook.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
I have to say that I spend WAY more time in here, than I do in Facebook. Facebook tends to be an 'in and out' experience for me. a couple of 2-3 min sessions a day.

I didn't even get to climb 1/4 of the way up the mountain of swag. :(
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
If I were a company, I would not want to interact with a bunch of opinionated people megaphoning the first thing that comes to mind, unless I had to. Trade show phase outs are a god send, imho.
- Mona Nomura
Mona, it's not focusing on annoyance. Just saying, I don't think social networks are killing big shows, though they do need to revolve. If there were no trade shows bloggers too will have less topic to blog about. I'm bored with Facebook because I figured it out and there aren't any more challenges. IMO.
- Moushumi Kabir
Sobbing for the shows I will never see, the flashing pins that will never decorate my Windows Mobile cap, the caps and tee-shirts I won't get. I love you, Strands! How will I ever meet Scoble, if not for the hope that I will one day be able to afford to go to the shows that must go on?

- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I hear you, Moushumi but the world (consumers) is bigger than Social Networks and bloggers. Facebook is changing the way non tech users are getting information, as is the Internet, as is the market - trade shows / corporations are evolving WITH that. :)
- Mona Nomura
Mona, absolutely. It's consumers who are making the world go round and they are bigger than any social networks. Bloggers and social networks are where they are because it's consumers themselves who put them there. You are right; I was talking from tech point. As long as their is evolution, all is good. Till next time. :)

Let me just say that *I* followed a few hundred new people yesterday thanks to https://twitter2ff.appspot.com/ and many of them have followed me back. I'm sure Twitter itself is also growing independently of that.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
According to twittercounter, I usually get +1 a day, but I got 6 yesterday. Of those 6, 4 were spammers and I only refollowed 2. That's 2/3rds. I wonder how much spam followers and SEO specialists account for the recent spikes.
- Alan Le
I ran the app last night and have received about a hundred reciprocal follows (which wasn't the reason I used it). But I agree with Louis: FF's growth is organic. In any case, they're aren't enough FF users to account for this sort of spike. It's real.
- Chris Baskind
Louis - Do you get facebook updates to your email box everyday?? So much data to sift through. Wow.
- Amani
Can't say I've seen any of this personally, the one thing I see is people more open to conversations in Twitter -- like they're warming up to the concept of social dialogue
- Jorge Escobar
@Amani, I get all updates to e-mail and I never delete. I just sort to folders.
- Louis Gray
I've noticed a big uptick, too Among other things, perhaps this is related to the economy and the increased need for networking.
- Mike Reynolds
@Chris @ Daniel, I too ran the twitter2ff app two days ago and found that every time I do a massive Twitter-Following-Spree I get both a boatload of reciprocals but also a secondary wave -- from folks who I hadn't followed. Same hasn't been true for me on FF. I'm not sure there's any significance to that, but I've also just felt that people are quicker to follow on Twitter.

seems like the "value" of twitter followers decreases as people follow more and more people
- Deva Hazarika
Well, for one thing, we have near 2,233 people auto-following on SocialToo.com. Amongst those, there are near 2 million followers. So, near 2,233 people are automatically following you when you follow them. I'm sure that's only one factor though. Also, you have to follow them first to get them to follow you back.
- Jesse Stay
Deva, I totally agree, it's a disjointed mosh/race for followers, influence and kudos that will start to stink soon
- Bob Sonin
@Deva and @Bob, my thinking is that if there is a statistic out there to be counted, people will find it. Also, I believe people are growing more comfortable with following many and not treating it like Facebook, etc.
- Louis Gray
anyone think it may be folks who have lost their jobs, I have had an uptick in linkedin folks for that reason.
- Mark Ramsey
I think 1-2% of real people are comfortable/capable of following many but most people are not and prefer water cooler style network news, dumbed down for the masses without having to think too much, perfect for the couch and no thought required

I can't use the twitter2ff app because my own usernames differ on the two services. But I'm OK with that - Twitter is still mostly an afterthought for me. Friendfeed is my home base. Live and learn on the username thing, though. Personal branding fail.

I was just thinking this today. I've had a good uptick in followers on Twitter over the past few weeks. I thought I was special and people were digging my updates.
- Vaughn
I've seen a large uptick in followers which a large majority of are from FF so I do think that users here are heavily usin the Twitter2FF app. I'm glad they have too because I am now following many folks from here because of it.
