Molly Wood - Renee Pie
Pete Cashmore was cranky and great although probably not popular. Ryan Block and Will Harris are always good. Worley and Molly are very good. Curry would be fun since he is opinionated.

Steve Gillmor, Merlin Mann and Jason Calacanis. - Wo
Kevin Rose, I know you don't like having him on, but he is nice to see every once and a while. Veronica Belmont would be nice again, Patrick, Maybe John. - Dakota O'Neill

Josh Topoksky, Geoff Farinha (up and coming podcaster) - Shawn Roberts
I really enjoyed Twit 188 with Becky Worley and Devorak. Calacanis is good too. Not a fan of P Norton - Allison

Heard about that Daniel Suarez. Looking on Audible right now for download (Insert Audible Ad here Leo) LOL - Bill Heslin
Molly and Lisa--Star Trek geeks; Brian; and Patrick but, as has been stated, only if he's in the house otherwise he leaves early/gets disconnected/gets called away. No more than four - MikeNNN
I forgot. John Gruber, he's the best. - John Kordyback
Definitely could use me some Molly Wood. Also, Veronica was nice. Hell, make it an all BOL show, bring in Jason and Tom too. And I agree with John, Gruber would be sweet. - Mike Nayyar
another new suggestion considering the fate of 3d realms: 1UP.com editor Garnett Lee - friend of Patrick, frequent Cranky Geeks guest and all around smart dude on tech subjects - winston smith

Chris, Molly has been all over this biz! - Mike Nayyar
Patrick Norton, Jason Calicanius, Or perhaps Bwana? Levar Burton is always awesome too. - Crystal Tillman
Trent Reznor - Baron Sekiya
For selfish purpose, I'd love to come on and talk about how we're using social networking to help America's homeless. But aside from that (and pardon the plug), I like Baron's choice, Trent Reznor would make for an interesting guest given the present circumstances with Apple. I also would love to see Molly Wood. - Brandon Mendelson
Wayne Sutton - Wayne Sutton
Well that's just sneaky, Wayne. Mike Nayyar! :P - Mike Nayyar
Norton, Dvorak, Wheaton and Burton - Howard

dvorak, calacanis, veronica belmont - Brian Waters

Interesting to hear what a tech-savvy VC has to say about the state of innovation in tech - what is likely to get funding - who's under presure - where money helps innovate - where VC money offers no advantage etc etc - Ian Horley
Still on the VC theme, Guy Kawazaki is a great orator, but not sure how good a pundit he is, or how tech savvy he is http://www.guykawasaki.com/ - I think he s in your neck of teh woods too! - Ian Horley
James Patrick Kelly AKA StoryPod SiFi - Dutch [aka fairuse]

Adam Curry, not that bad of a guy Leo... Less Ryan Block, More Calacanis, More Wil Harris - Jim Edwards
How about a Blast From the Past! A show on the old Computer Chronicles and maybe get Stewart Cheifet as a guest. I know it's history, and not really a new tech idea, but if not on TWiT maybe on another show. Maybe TDoT - These Decades of Tech, history of where it all started, with guests like Steve Jobs, Woz, Gates (he's retired now also) Capt. Crunch etc.. There is a lot of history there! just an idea. - HamRadioActive
Dvorak - MλTT

Hey Leo, looked at Square Space thinking about changing but have a question about my domain, i think you said it's not problem to go straight to your www but do they now take over the hosting for the domain and or email, i still would like to use my own domain and my own email extention, and i just signed up with 1and1 to have imap support, does square space have imap support, not sure how that would all work. - Charles Moore
John C Dvorak. - tommy
How about how the white house could have saved 300k and a job. To do the Air Force One Photo - hire someone to photoshop a pricture of AF1 over the SoL - why did we actually need to take the picture? - Laurence Gold

Me. Of course. Bon week-end à tous ; ) - Didier Lahely
Why not have an open MIC ? - johnpiercy
I'm available - Russ Broomell
Lisa Bettany and Justine Ezarik please :) - Peter Kruit
Paul thurott - Joe from BuddyFeed
Jason Calacanis - Caleb Elston
I'd really like to see you take it to the next level and turn it into the tech equivalent of the Sunday news shows, ala This Week, Meet the Press, etc. That is, try to get more of the folks who've actually made news in tech this week on the show, combined with analysis of why what's happened this week matters. Just getting a bunch of hosts from TWiT shows and other media outlets talking about who knows whom and promoting their stuff is less appealing to me. - Ken Sheppardson
Levar Burton - May I also add perhaps an iPhone/BB/C-phone app review/recommendation section of the show - I value the panels input on such things - Tyler Johnston
Jerry Pournelle, Levar B or Peter Rojas. Spare us the bubble gum ones like iJustine or Lisa Bettany. Shopping exclusively at an Apple Store and being cute != tech expert/panelist. - Adi
megan morrone - TenderLovePony
Bwana McCallm, Lisa Bettany , STEVE WOZNIAK! - Ian P
Thurrott, Shwood, Dvorak, Kevin - imperator3733 from twhirl

Becky Worley!! - RealJon
Jono Bacon - D Raydrick
Dvorak - Marcus Sasiadek
ALL WAYS TRY TO TUNE IN TO TECH TV WHEN LEO OR THE SCREAN SAVERS GANG IS ON LIVE - daveccorey
Thurrott and Dvorak :) - Vesa Kauppinen
You need some Mom's for a Mother's Day Special - Chris Pugh
Good call on the Mom's Day Special - Bill Heslin from email
Let's have that discussion about US Internet connectivity that you mentioned last week on TWiT. I'm ready if you are. - Debi Jones
Molly Wood, Cali Lewis, John Dvorak, Jason Calacanis - David Z
Cali Lewis + Adam Curry - Joseph Kelley
You should get someone connected with the online poker business, discuss the legislation on that matter. - Pedro Fonseca
More about the National Broadband Policy, please! Did you say "MobileJones" would be on this week's TWiT? - Web Pixie

Scoble, Calcanis, Gillmor, Winer and Arrington mud wrestling in pink blancmange! - Make us laugh and then they'll all be friends again! - Jan Simmonds
Dvoracanis part 2! And Miley Cyrus. Or maybe Paul Thurrott & Andy Ihnatko, plus Kevin Rose. - Thunderwing from twhirl
Or Adam Curry, Alex Jones & Michael Savage. Oh, wait, that would be a special episode of No Agenda. Sorry, my bad. - Thunderwing from twhirl
Lisa Bettany, Jason Calacanis and Dvorak. Always. It'd be nice to see Paul Thurrott on TWiT, he's always great and it was a big MS week what with the RC. - Henrik
After listening to todays Gilmore Gang, anybody that sounds more professional then that group would be better. - John Wallace
It would be an honor to be on the show... www.cyberstudies.org - Shane Tilton

"Youngstown here, and I have already left. Trust me it's worth it." - Ron Acierno
Dave Winer
In Generation Kill, the HBO series, some of the characters put "actual" at the end of their handle when talking on the radio. There was Hitman and Hitman Actual. What does the "actual" part mean?
Always wondered about that. - Roberto Bonini
It means you're talking to the actual person of that callsign, and not his radio man or whatever. In other words, if you get a call from "Hitman Actual" it means you're talking to the commander (I think it was a captain). - Ben Turner
You watch BSG, right? Don't they use "Galactica Actual," as well? - Kurtiss Hare from twhirl
I also noticed on Generation Kill; Marine speak: "Oscar Mike" for moving out, but also 'Mike" for minutes e.g: "We're Oscar Mike in 5 mikes." Confusing, but utterly compelling and brilliant series. (ps. Did you spot that there are 2 actors from 'The Wire' in GK?) - Mike Coulter
I only noticed one, the driver guy who played the skinny dock guy drug dealer fuckup in The Wire, who played a similar fuckup until he got depressed in GK. Who was the other?? - Dave Winer
The reporter was one of the main characters in the HBO series "Oz", without a doubt one of the most brilliant, compelling (and creepy as hell) series I have ever seen. Oscar Mike = on the move - jcunwired
Also for those that did not know ... the guy that they call gay throughout the series that is full of himself and talks about wanting to move to SF is an "actual" (pun intended) Marine. He is also a member of the group of marines they created the series after - Ron Acierno
The reporter is also one of the roadies from the Wayne's World movies! - Ben Turner
Another soldier, Eric Kocher, was the military advisor and eventually was cast to play another sgt. in the filming as well. If you haven't read the book, at least slip into a Barnes and Noble and read the Epilogue of what happened in the years after their first deployment.

The people on Twitter are still more diverse and (imho) interesting than those on FriendFeed. Twitter seems brighter.
I don't agree with you Dave. The people here are earlier adopters and are people who want to have great conversations, rather than just push messages at people. - Robert Scoble
I think Dave and Robert are both right! On FF we get more into discussions, even if sometimes hairballs are flying all other the place! lol But still there are many Social Media and SEO professionals who have not come to FF yet and hanging out on Twitter. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I think comparing friend feed to twitter is like comparing a desktop to a laptop. Sure both are computers and can do a lot of the same things, but they were designed with different purposes. I think FF and twitter are the opposite of what Scoble says. - Patrick Tulskie
Dave: you need to visit the "Everyone" tab. There's a TON of non geeks here. I just don't "Like" their posts, so you don't see them. There's also a very active non-geek community that writes only in Farsi but I don't translate them either. Speaking of which, wasn't this a slam against our blogs at one point? I seem to remember people used to say this kind of stuff about those back in 2001. - Robert Scoble
Yeah you should read all of what I said, not just this one bit. I agree with Patrick, totally. I said the best system would be a combination of both. - Dave Winer
Personally, I think that FF is better as a true "micro blog" because of the nature of leaving comments, where as twitter is more of a STATUS update blast to your friends. - Ron Acierno
You guys missed the whole irony of a Twitter message showing up in FriendFeed where we're now discussing it. Dave: you should have posted some URLs so you could connect all your discussions together here. I'll do that in the next post. - Robert Scoble
I am a nongeek & more drawn to FF. - R. Ferguson
The key difference is twitter is a very low friction system. I can post things without fear. They go out to just those who have agreed to follow me. Here I inject myself into a conversation. By nature I am therefore more cautious and thoughtful about what I write. There is more friction and in a small way that creates a more thoughtful discussion. - Joel Ordesky
Another thing is that I haven't learned how to use FF yet. Not that I haven't put in the time. There are just vast areas I have yet to explore, like the Everyone tab (per Scoble's recommendation). I wasn't slamming anyone Robert -- I'm actually just trying to figure it out, and I'm confused along with most other people, imho. - Dave Winer
Not only wrong, but somewhat of a "jerky" statement. What's next, Twitter users are also "more pretty and popular?" Seriously, I don't get it. Edit: After seeing what you wrote above, don't you think that you could have said: "I'm not seeing as diverse items on FriendFeed as I am on Twitter, what am I doing wrong?" Instead of sounding like a troll to those of us on FriendFeed? - Vince DeGeorge
Joel: funny thing is I see a lot of people's Tweets here. I don't get what you are saying at all. But let me try this another way: I've noticed that the half-life of a conversation on Twitter is about four minutes. On FriendFeed? One conversation can go on for hours. Far different. Maybe it's this that you're noticing. - Robert Scoble
I think Dave is probably right regarding the diversity. Although if one's idea of a "diverse" conversation is one in which both identi.ca and Plurk are mentioned, FriendFeed is OK. I wonder which service has more discussions of Miley Cyrus, American Idol, and the Federal Reserve Board. Will check... - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
The conversation is here ... 'nuff said? - David Weiner
Personally, I enjoy FriendFeed more. The conversations are much better, no 140 character limit, and you are not limited to only twitter, as you can access other services - Grant
Twitter is bright...so is the headlight of a train... - J.T Dabbagian
People on FriendFeed are more interested in the conversation so that makes them more interesting. It's like when you are dating- the more they like you the more you like them. - Sarah Austin
Yes Robert that is the essence of what I meant. Things here are less ephemeral. Even the tweets become more solid and lasting here. - Joel Ordesky
Twitter is fine for throwaway lines, but I find I get more sense of the conversation with Friendfeed. - Craig Thomler
FF is more like a mail list and they're famous for flaming out. This one is right on the edge of flaming out right now. In all the time I've used Twitter, it's never flamed out once (AFAIK). - Dave Winer
Dave - isn't it about conversation? Or is the paradox of Twitter/identi.ca talking but not listening? - David Weiner
Diverse yes, interesting no. - Andrew Smith
Dave: Twitter flames out all the time. It's just that those conversations move out of sight within two minutes. Here they keep moving back into view until you hit "hide." Also, if someone is flaming you out, you just need to learn to "block" and "hide." Also, you are in control of any comment left under your name (as is the case here). If you don't like a comment you can delete it. So, if it's flaming out it's YOUR FAULT. :-) - Robert Scoble
Dave - Barack Obama HAS to consider Senator Evan Bayh as his VP. Bayh is a Democrat who has successfully won as governor and senator in the very red state of Indiana. He knows how to talk to the middle ground. Obama already has the left sewn up, he's going to need to win the middle. True, Illinois + Indiana do not provide geographic diversity, but that didn't stop Clinton-Gore in 1992. - Hutch Carpenter
Dave W. - honestly I think that Twitter is just a status update site ... It has nothing to do with conversation or it would have it organized and you would be able to leave comments on posts like on Twitter/Jaiku... ect. - Ron Acierno
I agree with Scoble re. this is a better place for real conversations. It's asinine - and increasingly more so - to refer to this "geek" hierarchy "I don't like non geeks". what does that mean? we're all people here. twitter, ff..your slicing hairs: they are are early adopters... - j sven
I really don't think that Twitter ever thought of their site as a real micro blog that would be a tool for conversation, I just think that the users started using it that way. How can anyone even follow a conversation on twitter, there is not structure like there is here. - Ron Acierno
Twitter+FriendFeed - great solution - Igor Poltavskiy
Twitter is not about the conversation. It's about the information. FF is about the conversation. - Nick in Manila
Twitter is a signal you do not like it, do not listen to it! Robert is a Dictator, he does not like the signal he blocks the user! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
The twitter audience is more diverse and less tech savvy. more of a wide slice of life. - Rodney Rumford
Friend Feed is a discussion, you do not like the discussion do not participate! Robert is a Dictator he does not like the author he bans him to Siberia Gulag! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Nick: you're right and wrong. It's also for discussing Dave Winer's tweets. - Robert Scoble
twitter is "friendlier" imo - Chris
they may be more diverse, but if I look at it from a value equation, I get far more from FF than Twitter in terms of interesting. Although to be fair, Twitter still wins as a pure networking tool - Duncan Riley
It's only a matter of time before the audience on FF grows and diversifies. - Nick Dominguez
Where "brighter" = lacking the ability to really interact or challenge assumptions? No doubt this will not be seen since I made the mistake of disagreing in the past and am probably now blocked. I still like Twitter (conceptually) but got tired of being talked at - love the conversations here, even if the disagreements that sometimes occur make everyone seem a little less "bright/shiny or happy" - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
I disagree. - Thomas Hawk
boo, hiss! - Alan Le
Dave, apples and oranges. - Dave Martin
I think there are plenty of people on both services that we don't know yet. - Francine Hardaway
also seems to be easier to 'strike a conversation' there - Mrinal Desai
