Who says these are mutually exclusive? And who is the bigger audience, the people reading your blog (subscribers) or people using Google to search for things? [edit] Just posted a rambling response on the post now.

GReader is the center of my online life. Everything else is a way of feeding content into it or commenting on things that come out of it.
- Alex Scrivener
I agree, this new "movement" away from RSS is ridiculous. Striking a balance between RSS & Twitter is more important. There's too much noise in between links to post on Twitter (either from that account or just from all the other people you follow).

Maybe we could get 20% or so of the people building yet another URL shortening service to help build out a webhook/pubsub notification network instead.

Why does posting a blog to twitter make it more digestible than using an RSS?
- James Ketchell
So how do I balance getting posts into twitter -- where danny can find them -- but also not into twitter, so they won't turn Tobias off? One twitter account for RSS, and second one for me? Mix up the RSS and other sharing posts? Only send the best RSS stories to Twitter?

Bring everything into FriendFeed and have it drop links into the Twitterstream when appropriate

Ken that's exactly what I was thinking. Its what I do already. Everything into friendfeed and then just select which items to go onto twitter.

Do you want a Twitter feed or just that the blog posts show up in my Tweet stream? I certainly do the latter manually.

Eric, yes, you run two accounts. Look at my personal blog, http://daggle.com. Want to keep updated on the content? You can (1) visit via web (2) get email alerts (3) take the RSS feed (4) subscribe to http://twitter.com/daggle and get a ping anytime I put up a post. Offering a Twitter feed of blog posts is just another option. It's more choice for the reader. I'm not saying dump any of...

To thin that twitter replaces anything other than RSS "Headlines" is ludicrous. I get the best news via RSS. I see the Hottest news via FriendFeed and twitter (more so friendfeed). I may even see the links first in friendfeed and twitter, but I like having my rss reader keeping track of the days news that's important to me. Oh - and yeah publishing your entire blog via twitter is just lame, headlines are fine thanks. (pics and excerpts on FF though!)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I can't say this enough, so I won't keep going on about it. Offering a feed on Twitter is not a replacement for an RSS feed. I didn't say that. That won't work for everyone. But yes, some people are relying on Twitter more and more for news. It's a huge source of news IN ADDITION TO other ways that people find news.

Selma: Some kids are real "hams". It's a shame our US school system drills the creativity out of so many kids. Sitting in chairs for 8 hrs a day, listening to teachers even when they are boring.

Vincent: I think one of the major upgrades is shifting from the "doctor, lawyer, teacher, policeman" careers to the make-your-own-dream career - which can be scary, financially risky (note - most blogger lifestyles), but amazingly rich. How can we mix (1) delivering what others want (2) with what we want to give. Traditional US schools are for baby-sitting farmer's kids and creating "yes" people. What are the next steps?

There's the flip side. Most people are so engrossed with themselves, they don't provide any opportunity for others to ask for help. In other words, making ourselves approachable is as important as being able to ask for help.

The most successful people I know all have one thing in common: they've surrounded themselves with successful people, i.e.: the "others" that you allude to.
- Kevin C. Tofel
That's absolutely right. I've never met a really successful individual who was afraid to hire, work with etc . . . people who are better than they are. @nicerobot I completely agree, almost as hard as asking for help is being the type of person who can be asked.
- Steve Spalding
I recently asked someone I look up to for help and was disappointed in their response. they liked my work and what I showed them. When I asked someone else that I didn't really expect to have any great advice, he pointed out every flaw in my design, explained what was wrong with it, and a couple possible ways to go about fixing it... help can come from the most surprising places and people.

- Shey
@Shey Definitely. Sure you can learn anything in the world if you wanted to (and there are bunches of stuff that you should), but especially if you are managing a project you need to be able to know where your real strengths lay.
- Steve Spalding
This is also the sign of a good manager.
- Mark Krynsky
And what about those other people that help the clever people making up for their limitations?
- Benedikt Koehler
An earlier commentator brought that up, and I think that's equally as important. I think people underestimate the benefits of helping others. You never know when the five minutes you take out of your day to do something good for someone else will turn into something great for you. Even if it doesn't, you probably still "gain" more than the cost in time.
- Steve Spalding
I think anyone that tries to suppress the ability of those around them to grow, is usually insecure in their own achievement levels. If I need help I'll ask, but the responses can be a sort of "protectionism." The person you've asked for help doesn't want to help as they feel it somehow reduces their own value by sharing knowledge with you.
- Ian May
That's also a good point. We're all guilty of it, especially in situations we don't feel "control over." The old saying is pretty dead on, knowledge is power and sharing that knowledge can be pretty painful. At the end of the day though, I think you gain a lot more than you lose. I always learn something from getting the perspective of others.

Also, what is a limitation, and what is simply an underutilized skill? How can you tell if you're inherently bad at something, or just not good at it yet?
- Brent Newhall
There's the art. My test is whether I have an intuition for how it could be done if I just had the skill set. A good example is that I know how to write and as an extension I know how to arrange podcasts (even though my audio editing skills aren't that great). Video, on the other hand, is an entirely different animal and when I'm dealing with it I defer to the wisdom of others when I can.
- Steve Spalding
In the VC world, we often say "A people hire A people, B people hire C people, and..." A major part of this "ranking" (which I tried to fight for many years) is that many people (i.e. the supposed B and C people) are afraid to hire people better than them - for fear of (1) losing control (2) employee learning stuff & jumping ship (3) employee stealing stuff. It's sad. I tried for ages to fight the mentality of "rating" people, but it's so much a reality. It's HARD to find open-minded people.
- Mitchell Tsai
Very good wisdom Mitchell
- Shey
Shey: Funny thing is receptionists in Internet companies are usually much better than CEOs at predicting whether companies will succeed or fail. Why? Receptionists have often worked 20-30+ companies, whereas the "Internet" CEO has only seen 1-3 companies before starting one. Also, very sad, something is missing in our college/MBA/MS/PhD education in entrepreneurship, team-building, etc... It's a very good education to have been in Google, Microsoft, or some company that has seen int/ext scaling issues.
- Mitchell Tsai
I agree on the MBA/MS etc . . . portion. It's so rare that anyone focuses on the mechanics of team building and leadership. It seems to run counter to the way most academic programs are taught.

I disagree...sometimes you disagree with someone and you don't want them to take it personally. By saying, "Nothing personal" the person is just letting them know they really don't have anything personal against them. Am I wrong?
- Justin Korn
True yes, but look at it this way: Its perhaps a way of minimizing the impact of the "personal" statement. Sometimes you just want to be able to say something critical about osmeone else on a personal level. I think the term "no offence" is perhaps a better wording, but its used the same way as "nothing personal". I can be personally critical of someone but still respect them greatly.. what else is there to say that communicates that juxtaposition?
- Robert
from twhirl
Unfortunately it is now a throwaway phrase used to cover a personal attack, rather than a qualifier to something that needs to be addressed regardless of personalities. I think you have to look at what your saying and say 'can I say this to a group of people in five days time and have it mean something to them' or is it 'only applies to this person at this time' (in which case, it isn't a true nothing personal moment.)

We can work on our individual lives and get those in order. But what about the bigger picture?

@MarkD We need learn to empathize and try to understand our differences. Then the bigger picture will become clearer.

Shey, I don't agree. I find that many people aren't even aware of social media and are missing out. Also social media and real life interactions are not mutually exclusive.
- Alan Le
@Alan I think the point Shey's making is that some people in the "Social Media World" (I call them "Tech-Nerds" .. :D) are so engrossed in Social Media that they become ignorant of the REAL Social World -- becoming hopelessly ignorant of the REAL ramifications of their actions.

Re. Soc Media vs RW - You learn best by doing imho? Observation only takes one so far.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
@Matthew I think the happy ending is "doing", i.e. a change in how we behave with and relate to one another. But if you don't take a step back and look outside your little bubble -- you get a pretty narrow-minded view.

And I've just gone thru and evened that distribution out quite a bit - that will teach me to use an "import my twitter contacts" app blindly. Didn't even know who some of those people were...
- Lucretia Pruitt
I love this tool. I just subscribed to like 50 people I never knew were subscribed to me, and found a few dozen people that unsubscribed from me. Very cool.
- Mark Trapp
I was really surprised to see the names on either side of the "mutual" column too! It was very helpful.
- Lucretia Pruitt
what an awesome tool - felix you rock :)
- mike "glemak" dunn
Glad it helps out! Let me know if you run into any problems, I think I fixed one that was hitting folks with more than 300 on either side. :)

Felix: I double checked as I was checking out the list, and it picked up all (~500 total) my subscriptions and followers with 100% accuracy. Very nice work.
- Mark Trapp
@Lucretia thanks so much for posting this!

I found people who I thought I was subscribed to, but wasn't. Nice tool.

Me too. Thank you

Cool app. Thank you. I just found some more folks to subscribe to.

Nice, this makes it easier to remove inactives from my subscriptions

Great tool, I assumed I was notified when people followed but obviously missed some. Thanks.

Excellent interview. It's amusing in a way that the blog template is what he was comfortable with and fell back on to insult you with publicly.

Q&A: Hank Williams discusses racism, 1938 Media videos, TIS comment thread - http://www.thestandard.com/news...

This is it exactly: "I think that Loren is angry. I think he's an angry guy. He didn't start out being angry at blacks, but he is now based on the response he's gotten. He also seems to have a racist fan base in there, and he feeds off that as well." Very calm and thoughtful interview.
- Mark Trapp
Hank, you've just found yourself a fan. Level headed, reasonable, informative analysis + I just subscribed to whydoeseverythingsuck.com.
- Duncan Riley
Hank does a great job, not just on his personal site, but on the Silicon Alley Insider. Glad to see Cyndy and Duncan recognize it as well.
- Louis Gray
Of all of the people I've met in NYC over the last year, Hank ranks right up there in the top few. I always enjoy our conversations. Note that before Hank went to SAI, he used to contribute on CN - so like Roi, Kristen and others, CN makes them then they go sign the big money deals elsewhere :-P (I am hoping Matthew doesnt leave!)
- Allen Stern
Hank's last response puzzles me greatly - Feldman himself comes from a minority who has a rich history of pain and suffering.

- sean percival
Mark, that was my edit. Hank did say that would have been the only other group that would have the same type of discriminatory history. To me, that makes this whole thing all the more curious.
- Cyndy
@rizzn: I like the "his little corner" bit. If that's not a certain modicum of arrigance, I'm not an evil squid-demon-thing, and believe me, I know arrogance. The real issue is that no matter the group Loren decided to use to mock the tech-crowd he'd be branded a racist or sexist. Unless you're telling folks that white people and mainstream culture are bad, you're a racist, a sexist,...

Why is it such a shocker that when someone sets out to stereotype and mock a group of people it's treated with offense? Negativity breeds negativity. You're not highlighting some core issue when you set out to be an asshole to a group: you're just being an asshole. You're not funny, you're not clever: you're a prick. The fact that Loren won't realize this and exacerbates the issue by making these videos makes him a racist prick.
- Mark Trapp
@itafroma: Or it just means that he doesn't think he's being a prick, there are people that find him funny, and he's not, actually, being an asshole. Being short psychic powers this week, I find it impossible to say, but I do find it possible to say that offending people is not inherently bad. Nor is being offended, though it doesn't actually earn any of my respect. That Loren keeps...
