Who will be participating today? - r Macdonald

Me, but I'm still on Strategy Room with Clayton Morris. - Robert Scoble

Great! You are worth waiting for - r Macdonald

Don't know if it is relevant to today's topic, but I would like to hear from Robert about his innovative roving live feed from SXSW with Leo Laporte. - r Macdonald

Gillmor Gang Recording Session w/ John Borthwick, Seth Goldstein, Andrew Keen, Kevin Marks - http://building43.com/realtime - Cliff Gerrish

I'm calling in now. - Robert Scoble

r Macdonald: not too much to it, it's a borrowed pack from ustream that has a computer and six modems in the back to Sprint, ATT, Verizon. Worked great. - Robert Scoble

Robert, we'll get you on in a second. - Cliff Gerrish

OK, you're live. - Cliff Gerrish

Cliff: I still am hearing hold music. - Robert Scoble

Sorry just a sec. - Cliff Gerrish

Now I'm online - Robert Scoble

Is the hold music off? - Cliff Gerrish

yes - Robert Scoble

You're live now. - Cliff Gerrish

Lady Gaga will keynote SXSW next year. - Cliff Gerrish

@Cliff - I don't need another reason to not attend next year ;) - Rob La Gesse

@Rob - Do you expect SXSW won't improve on this year then? - Josh Chandler

@Josh - I am sure it will - but will it improve enough? Not sure of that. - Rob La Gesse

@Rob - I hope it does. I want to go next year. :) - Josh Chandler

How can Foursquare deliver a better keynote then Twitter did? - Josh Chandler

I'll be back at SXSW next year - just not sure I will be there for 5 days again. - Rob La Gesse

Twitter just got unlucky with the selected interviewer. - Josh Chandler

Too little, too late for Twitter anywhere. Facebook has the audience and the data with Facebook Connect that Twitter will never have. - Josh Chandler

How can you possibly predict a year ahead? When is it booked? - Alex de Soto

@Alex - Yeah, you can't. - Josh Chandler

You can predict. You just may not be right. - Cliff Gerrish

Well, the benefit of being a pundit in technology is that things move so quickly you can't always be blamed for getting it wrong. - Josh Chandler

BTW, I don't agree that's the right way of looking at it. - Josh Chandler

Is Buzz the first Google product that ddn't beta? - Jim Posner

Buzz seems rather beta - Vezquex

Seems like Buzz *is* beta, just not labeled. - Cliff Gerrish

:) - Josh Chandler

I would count it as Beta as well. - Josh Chandler

Page Index, Social Index, Operating system -- choose your borg. - Cliff Gerrish

Are we supposed to be praising a product which was late to market and offers nothing that unique? - Josh Chandler

Late to market shouldn't detract. It's here now. - Vezquex

But, it's not worth publisher's time implementing it. - Josh Chandler

the NYTimes would have a user account that now can know your Twitter ID - then you can share via twitter NYTimes items without leaving NYTimes - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

@bear - Will that keep visitors at NYTimes longer? - Josh Chandler

my hunch is that twitter is looking for "meat" to add to it's environment/toolset so that they can start charging for API support - that's my cynical view - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

@bear - it's a possibilty - Josh Chandler

@josh it will because it allows NYTimes to offer a single click "share" action - now you have to leave the page, got to the web interface of twitter, make your post, then go back - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

@josh plus it could, and this is my guess, it could offer then a way of sharing the conversation thread of your post or of others who also shared the item - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

I certainly hope your second suggestion would happen. - Josh Chandler

so do I - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

It is interesting to have your social graph follow you from site to site. still getting used to it on Huffington Post. - Jim Posner

everyone is trying to become the unified contact list for web 2.0 - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

can you post the url in here? - Jim Posner

Do you think that twitter will ever embrace comments and lift the 140 limit. Buzz may have forced them to enable this. - Jim Posner

Twitter would have to rework their backend in a big way. Google came into Buzz already knowing how to scale because of GTalk IM experience - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

I have a shared experience watching TV - http://bit.ly/idolfanatic - @ribbit phones your votes in for you - Kevin Marks

Regarding TV innovation on near-horizon: @NovaSpivack latest (pre-launch) live TV tracker venture: LiveMatrix http://bit.ly/ch45DW - r Macdonald

I bet the first 140 characters will be shown by default, with a "more" button to expand to full text - Vezquex

off topic: Anyone know what software Steve is using to control the show? Mac or PC? - Josh Haley

heck, I just deleted myself from foursquare because it was location specific noise that doesn't help me in my small town - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

@josh - he is using a Tricaster HD - it's a custom PC TV switcher - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Thanks, bear - Josh Haley

interesting stuff going on between intel, sony and cisco in the tv space. - Jim Posner

Twitter has become the backchannel for any group event - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

The small screen will be the remote control for the large screen. - Cliff Gerrish

Regarding new dawn of interactive TV: applying principles of Semantic Web to granular TV metadata (starting with time coded transcripts - Closed Captioning) to identify "entities" will allow significantly scaled discovery, related media & product recommendations as well as sync & async social media "conversations" Central to this vision is opening the metadata, currently being championed by independent media companies as pathfinders for big ol' media. - r Macdonald

Comcast has the advantage that they have both the TV content but they are also big in the online realm with a lot of their users logging in to their accounts. The question will be if they have enough users who will login to the comcast.net site *and* watch tv - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

My current pet peeve is lack of 1GB bandwidth to the home and why Google is making a move into this area and not my local utility ala electricity. - Jim Posner

Comcast also has Plaxo. - Cliff Gerrish

I've had comcast for 11 years, and the only time I go to comcast.net is when it's broken - Kevin Marks

Comcast also is pushing an evdo like item so you can view your streams while mobile. - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

the "Google TV" (Google, Intel and Sony) collaboration is an important step towards realizing Interactive TV dream - r Macdonald

I like the comcast iPhone app. Voice mail follows me around. - Cliff Gerrish

@Kevin Marks - you should visit Comcast.net - if you have their DVR and/or Phone service - it's all controlllable from the account - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

SuperFeedr - it's a great way for consumers and publishers to enable realtime notifications of all kinds of events. Anything that can be carried using Activity Streams - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

what sort of "stream splicing" capability is Steve Gillmor missing? - Vezquex

You can't mix in FriendFeed feeds into friendfeed unless you send them out and pull them back in. - Cliff Gerrish

stream splicing will be possible only when Salmon Protocol is more mainstream IMO - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Yes, PSHB + Salmon is quite interesting. - Cliff Gerrish

Google already supports RSS for incoming feeds - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

YouTube RSS support totally sucks. - Rob La Gesse

stickybits.com is worth looking at - r Macdonald

Friendfeed has lists, just unfortunately kept private. Here's one of mine: http://friendfeed.com/list... - Vezquex

Thanks for another thought provoking show! - r Macdonald

Nice show - thanks all! - Rob La Gesse

@bear thanks for the mention. Indeed, we (Superfeedr) can help anyone consuming or producing feeds get into the realtime wagon! - Julien

The TV discussion inspired me to finally contact Comcast and figure out how to get the the ondemand stuff online (their single signon is still a little buggy but better than when I gave up on it a couple years ago). One interesting thing: I'd been rewatching The Wire via ondemand through the cable box and have been waiting for them to release episodes past S2E6 there. Online I can see the whole of season 2, through ep 12. - Amyloo
