Bill -- these are policy questions that governments and corporations all around the world are trying to figure out as we speak. It is going to take a massive effort to come up with a workable program.

Sometimes I argue for sport, and acknowledge as much. In this case, I'm honestly appalled at your stance, Sean. The evidence and logic is truly not there.
- bill giltner
Bill - are you aware that on the subject of global warming and climate change you are in the same camp with Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Exxon Mobil and the neoconservatives? Does this cause a sensation of cognitive dissonance? (Normally you oppose them.)
- Sean McBride
Sean, Ad Hom like that is beneath you. The evidence and appropriate logic is not in a camp.
- bill giltner
In addition, with respect to the latest Bush actions, you are incorrect: http://friendfeed.com/e...

This isn't an ad hominem: I'm really curious about why people who are normally on the opposite side of Fox News, Limbaugh, the oil industry and the neoconservatives on most issues are close allies with them on climate change and environmental issues. How do you explain it? And evidence and logic is strongly against them -- do you actually read the scientific journals on global warming? Which ones?

Sean, The issue has nothing to do with what politicians, celebs, rogues, or heros have what stance. Here are the facts. There is no coherence theory or model that has been presented to serve as a foundation for policy making. In the absence of honest science and review, the issue is being thoroughly manipulated. The "governmental" / elite steps that are getting underway are all complete frauds.

I don't mind being challenged. I follow your line of reasoning. I think the issues need to be broken up in to at least two parts: 1) What is the crisis and 2) what are the appropriate societal actions. If the crisis is framed in the way you are framing it, and that's the honest truth the implication is that world cooperation / world govt. is needed. To some, world govt, (as in the NWO) is anathema.

Bill -- I'm opposed to any kind of authoritarian (not to mention totalitarian) world government -- I'm basically a progressive libertarian.

Dr. Ball fails to point out that too much CO2 in the atmosphere could make planet Earth uninhabitable for all living things.

We really can't afford to get this wrong. I would prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to the future of human civilization on our fragile planet.

John: I have no idea what Twitter you're watching, but for me Twitter has about 10,000 x more noise than FriendFeed does. And having a conversation like this one over on Twitter? Right.
- Robert Scoble
Why? Convos in here are this: chat and usenet "rooms" of old. And while that is a *fine* way to spend time, some of us are over it. Thus, only see what want to see on Twitter :)
- Barbara K. Baker
i agree with Scoble, twitter has more *noise*, friendfeed (may) have more content. but it's usually more relevant. and if it isnt, youre not following relevant (to you) people
- Ruben Llibre
Twitter and FriendFeed both have noise. It's just that FF gives you the brilliant "hide" tool to manage the noise. FF is vastly superior for conversations. Conversations in Twitter are an absolute mess. Almost unusable for conversations if you are following any significant number of people at all.
- Thomas Hawk
@Ruben Same could be said for Twitter: your *noise* is u follow wrong peeps. But here's example: I am now conversing w/u here but, honestly, I don't know u thus, really, and don't take this wrong I am sure you're a nice guy, you are now *my* FF noise. Thus, noise everywhere. I would argue, noise is a lot *less* on Twitter. Lots. :)
- Barbara K. Baker
@scobleizer the noise factor @ twitter must be deafening: u follow 27,000 there! U follow 2800 on FF. No comparision. Really.
- Barbara K. Baker
People use the word "noise" to refer to superfluous tweets. It's not that you're following the wrong people, you may really like them, but they may be slightly abusing the system. This conversation would be considered "noise" in Twitter because it's not about "what are you doing?" anymore. People say that using Twitter as a chat room is wrong.
- Michael Gaines
from twhirl
Barbara: the thing about conversations is that in Twitter we simply couldn't have this kind of back-and-forth conversation. Why? It'd piss everyone off because it would be noise to them. Here? If it's noise people can hit "hide" and be done with it. Also, here I can permalink to the conversation cluster and invite other people to join in. I can't do that on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
Starman: right. Noise to me is actually a good thing. Me telling you about my baby boy might be noise. You might not care. But to my dad? That's news. It's why FriendFeed is setup so you can follow who you want and hide the rest.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: exactly. I follow people for a variety of reasons and I know that I'm going to get things that I may not be interested in. Following to me means "I might not care about 100% of what this person says, but 75% is fine". For example, I unfollowed people that were spewing political campaign crap because it became 90% of their tweets. However, that's different from using Twitter for a conversation. Like the saying goes, "get a room". :D
- Michael Gaines
from twhirl
@scobleizer Have this sort of convo on Twitter. All time. Tick peeps off. I don't care if follow or not. U care about following.
- Barbara K. Baker
yes, agreed with Barbara, Starman, Scoble. i don't even hide very much on ff. i skim.
- edythe
i agree with barbara, the people you follow on either service can drastically alter your perception of it, i do feel i have more control in friendfeed though. if only for threaded display
- Ruben Llibre
I'm sorry, but Scobel has "noise" issues that NO ONE ELSE HAS. For christ sake, he follows how many people on Twitter? 20,000+ !!! On FF its a factor of TEN less. So of course he sees less noise on here. I follow about 150 people on Twitter and noise is not an issue. This is an artifical condition created by the fact that Robert follows a hojillion people. If Robert followed as many on FF he would be complaining the same way.
- Daniel Spisak
from twhirl
@daniel Thanx for bringing that up again. :)
- Barbara K. Baker
Plus, while you can have encapsulated back and forth chats here in FF, all chats in FF are not exposed in other places. So if I post something to Twitter, FF picks it up, and people *could* be commenting there (but they arent because no one gives a rip about who I am, unlike Scobel, et al) But it creates a fragmentation issue for me in that I would like the medium I posted something to be the same medium where commentary about it happens.
- Daniel Spisak

I *love* FF. It has replaced Pownce & various aspects of Facebook & digg for me. Very happy BUT, I rarely do convo here. Why? Too crazy to follow. Again, Iike chat of old. BUT, I *love* the feed aspect. I am trying to do more in rooms but, meh, too barren @ this time. I think it will grow. Love it here but not interested in *bashing* Twitter. Love Twitter for other ways of engaging online.
- Barbara K. Baker
FF is great for what it really is. RSS social network aggregation. But finding people on FF is nuts. And trying to follow chats on posts is even more nuts. Plus FF only truly makes sense to people who are on a lot of social networking sites.
- Daniel Spisak
from twhirl
How many comments here are 1) over 140 characters, 2) not Twitter-type posts? I think the conversation itself shows that this would fail on Twitter. Twitter is not for convos over maybe 2 or 3 exchanges.
- Michael Gaines
>So of course he sees less noise on here. Um, you miss that I spend much of my day over in the "Everyone" tab which has easily 20x more messages than from the people I follow. The noise is actually similar to Twitter but the news and great stuff sticks out of the noise in a way that Twitter can NEVER do. For instance, this cluster has 20+ comments. It stands out of the noise like a sore thumb. Also, in Twitter if 20+ people wanted to talk about something it would be totally disjointed and I'd have...

@Craig, the welfare system is completely "borked" is why. Once on the system, it is difficult to afford getting off. Listen, we have children that are hungry in our OWN country and we're spending billions in foreign wars. I don't want an isolationist approach, but we need to start cleaning up our own backyard and part of that is poverty, which goes hand in hand with education. I don't want to hand out money, but give people the proper TOOLS to get out of poverty. They simply don't have that now.

"Last week, for example, Mr. Buchheit’s followers on FriendFeed were treated to what he himself had discovered and found valuable online: links to interviews with the investor Peter Thiel in Reason magazine and the Google co-founder Larry Page in Fortune, an article about Justice Antonin Scalia’s views on torture on a political Web site, and a YouTube video of nine kittens moving their heads in rhythm to a song, among other Internet ephemera. One benefit of the feed sites is that they make conversation around online media both less voluminous and more meaningful. For example, YouTube users left an impenetrable 728 comments, many of them trivial or nonsensical, on the dancing-kitten video. Mr. Buchheit’s friends left two comments about the kittens — perhaps the right amount for a video that speaks for itself. They left 14 thoughtful comments about the Justice Scalia article."

Oftentimes Google engineers like to post unreleased code on display booths at consumer tradeshows. This could be a huge security breach. Never can be too careful. </snark>

Hmmm... maybe if you drove in there with a van with cameras on the roof they would let you? ...via AlertThingy

That's pretty hypocritical of them. After all, they're going around taking street-level photos and invading people's privacy. How can they disallow photos of their booth with a straight face (and with impunity)? It's wrong.
- Raoul Pop
On what legal grounds? Do they own the venue? Push the issue and shoot anyways.

'Do no evil' lest it be photographed and someone gets into some serious trouble.

Just posted a tweet to @micromedia2 asking all to take pictures of their booth. Will show up on display in hall.

Raoul Pop's comment is to the point!

I looked into this a bit ago. The Googlers were being (over)cautious, and it's not Google's policy to prevent folks from taking pics of the booth. So a couple of us contacted Scott to apologize and let me him know that it's fine to take pics of the booth.

Hooray for Adam.
