Yeah, the Twitter/FF friend list disconnect is impossible to fix. Adding an imaginary friend didn't work - it wasn't updating.

Imaginary also sucks because no one can see them but you, meaning a "like" or comment is completely in a silo.

Since Sarah Palin (and the Republicans) just engaged in a bashfest against all those who live in big urban areas, while indulging in chauvinistic chest-thumping about life in small Alaskan villages, just what kind of bump in the polls did they expect? They have just alienated a huge sector of the electorate.

Thanks for noticing this... and posting on it. It's startling to watch these interviews. Tim Russert was famous for giving guests a tough grilling, but compared to what we're seeing now, he was a marshmallow. Russert always let them skate after a they repeated their stonewall talking point. But the new old media is starting to do the job this old couch potato always wanted them to do.
- Michael Markman
If the MSM does anything, it's because they think it'll get them better ratings and profits, not because they've collectively rediscovered their purpose in life or anything. Producers have told the "talent" to be more aggressive because they think that's the popular trend.

How is it McCain's fault? Just because he decided to run? Should Obama run unopposed?
- Gregory Pittman
@LPH: At the forefront of what story? That a daughter told her parents she was pregnant and they fought about it. The National Enquire at best will make a story that is half truth and half lies just to juice it up a little.
- ChiliMac
@Gregory Pittman - to be fair he does prefer it that way, it's how he won his first election (by hiring lawyers to get his democratic opponent thrown off the ballot) :)
- Soulhuntre
gregory that to prove his Maverick status he clearly chose someone with little more consideration than the flip of a coin. I don't care for Romney, Liberman, or the other governor considered. But at least they appeared qualified and unlikely to damage the ticket.

@Sean McGee - of course that's a pretty standard Obama thing. Someone in his staff or on his team does something trying to make an attack stick and when it fails Obama tries to pretend it wasn't from his team. It's a nice tool but makes him look pretty weak as a leader the more he uses it.
- Soulhuntre
OK, for everyone NOT in North America, the National Enquirer is GEORETARDED. Used Proxify.org or another proxy to view
- Duncan Riley
@Larry Huffman - very nervous indeed. They've tried the idea that a mother shouldn't be considered for high office, they've tried attacking her daughter, they've tried that insane "fake pregnancy" rumor and now they are left saying "hey! she can't be VP - she only has a little more experience than Obama!" - the harder they attack her, the more they endear her to a lot of voters as they look more and more insane.
- Soulhuntre
@Soul, do you mind giving an example of a time when his campaign did something and then he acted like it was not them.

- David Ward
@Soulhuntre: "of course that's a pretty standard Obama thing" No one on the McCain team has ever done that, right? No one in any other political campaign, left, right, conservative or liberal has done that, right? You want to be partisan, that's fine, but don't go taking high ground when it's all at sea level.

the National ENQUIRER is sleazy, but once in a while it breaks something factual - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - so let's see... this is turning into a political soap opera. thanks to a stupid vetting.
- ~C4Chaos
Breaking news! Campaigns have meetings to talk about strategy, positions and craft messaging, sometimes packaged for media outlets in bite size formats. Investigative reports have found that they also have speech writers and folks interested in public relations on their team as well. Yes, it's true! Wake me up when the talk on *issues* begins.
- AJ Kohn
@Ruth Ferguson - you are correct, I phrased it badly. Obama acknowledges it was his team or associate, then throws them under a bus by claiming he didn't know what they were doing, what they believed or that they didn't represent his views. This link is a decent starting point with some examples - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
- Soulhuntre
looks like a good use of the web to market the paper version.

The Enquirer became a credible source when they broke and stayed with the John Edwards story. Its a new world. Just because its the Enquirer or Drudge or FriendFeed, new credible sources are everywhere.

"Let’s stop pretending this race is as close as national polling suggests. The truth is McCain is essentially tied or trailing in every swing state that matters — and too close for comfort in several states like Indiana and Montana the GOP usually wins pretty easily in presidential races. On top of that, voters seem very inclined to elect Democrats in general this election — and very sick of the Bush years."

2008 has been pretty different from 2004. In a lot of ways, 2004 was almost like 2000—it still felt like having to choose the guy who sucked less. This time, though, I feel like the differences between the two tickets are pretty stark. It's the veritable battle for the soul of the nation.

- Cee Bee
This is insane. People need to stand up to this. In '68 we had hippies in Grant Park that didn't give a fuck. Today the cops are attacking the journalists. I'm no democrat, for this and many other reasons. I'm no republican either for the same reasons. The authorities have no respect for the constitution or the rule of law. The cops think they are the law and unfortunately we've written laws that say just that. Failure to obey a police officer is grounds for arrest in most jurisdictions. I say bullshit.
- Steve Olson
When a cop tells you to do something, you do it. Even if they're wrong and/or a jerk about it. They're the police and they may know something you don't and even if not they have a job to do. If you don't like your treatment, go afterwards to the police station and file a complaint. That guy knew he was on TV and was going to have a "scoop" so made a big scene. I worked as a reporter and had confrontations with cops, but the rule is you do what they say. Or go to jail, just like everyone else.

- Christopher Harley
@Russell Beattie, As long as cops refuse to respect the constitution, and believe they are above the rule of law, which is the law of the land, which they have sworn to uphold, we must be suspect of them. It is our duty. Your first sentence, "When a cop tells you to do something, you do it." frightens me. What if they tell you to do something immoral? Unjust? These words "go to jail, just like everyone else" scare me as well. You may be right, but that doesn't make it right.
- Steve Olson
Falsely accusing someone of trespassing on taxpayer property, endangering the life of a citizen he's likely sworn to protect (then blaming the blocked traffic on his punching bag), then threatening someone with bodily harm. The cueball and his cronies should be "busted" to mall security guard jobs.

- Andrew Feinberg
Danny exactly, I get most of my DM's when I'm at my computer, so the mobile argument does not work. It's just one more system that I have to log into to reply, but worse, with Twitter my reply has to be 140 characters. 140 characters totally makes sense when posting to Twitter, but not for direct communication.
- Scott Beale
I have Twitter DMs directed to my mobile - and don't get email notification - and generally respond with email me at ... too bad there isn't an autoresponder on twitter. @sean does that work?
- Beth Kanter
My main problem is that Twitter DMs don't alert you in the UI. You just have to randomly notice the number go up on the right side. (I don't use SMS or email for them)
- Jordan Hofker

- Kol Tregaskes
some of my email accounts are over twenty years old. I have to know you are sending it to see it. facebook helps me filter people who communicate.

- Zach Underwood
Russell I'm still not buying the whole "email is dead" thing, especially when the communication is not time sensitive. So what alternative means of contact are you giving to people that you don't know (ie. on your website, etc.)? IM, SMS, phone number? No thanks, I'll stick with email.
- Scott Beale
I prefer email. Comes straight to my phone and easy to reply. DMs are hard to reply to when I am mobile.

Like Rajinder, I think Twitter DM's are a great way to send a quick message or heads up. Similar to getting an SMS basically. But for serious communication or questions, email is the definite winner. You can be much more detailed and convey more (usually) important info that way.
- Dave Schumaker

I rely more on email than any social site to communicate, but that's me. Email is good for things that can wait a bit, DMs/IMs/SMS messages are good for immediate communication IF it is REALLY that important and in emergencies, I'd rather get a phone call. That's just me
- Andy Glover
My personal preference is the singing telegram, but few people care enough to really take the time these days.
- Mistletoe Glen
I"m the opposite. If you DM on twitter during the day, I'll know about it almost immediately as I use SMS. If you email me, I'll usually get it relatively quickly, as I check my email every hour or so during the working day, and a few times outside of the working day too. It's the phone I dislike
- Ian May
Regarding Facebook, I don't go into it for a few days at times. I treat it as a play time activity, and not for work use.
- Ian May
I don't understand putting yourself out there on a public framework, and not expecting people to contract you via that public mechanism. Twitter and those types of services are not a one way street. I can tell the world something, but don't bother me with your thoughts about it, unless you use the pre-approved comment system. Also, please don't pester me with your DMs, but make sure you subscribe to me on Identi.ca! Yeah, that sounds really fair to me. *sarcasm*
- Darrell Bell
Different tools for different needs: IM for instant message... "I'm in a mtg, can't get your call...is it important?". E-mail for more complete communication. Phone can be pretty useless, what with phone tag and voicemail tag.
- Mahboud Zabetian
However, what I dislike about Twitter & DM is that it kills my enjoyment/use of Twitter. I want to know what people are up to, what they are thinking, what they want others to know about. What is not enjoyable/useful is seeing half of a semi-private conversation. Like msg today: "@so_and_so didn't know! is he okay?!" Huh? Who? What? Should I ask? Wazzup? I think DMs should be DMS and not half-duplex shouts into the ether...
- Mahboud Zabetian
