500hats~! 500FiretrUCKs - cliveb
And will I get dizzy watching it? - Francine Hardaway
try calling me back, looks like skypes dumped me down to 3 fps - Kevin Marks
isn't the 3d backwards compatible (ie it uses fields on final cut) - Kevin Marks
Francine: you can watch it in 3D. - Robert Scoble
how does it look Ankush? - Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin: no. Doesn't work. - Robert Scoble
Kevin: my new camera records separate 1080i videos. Has two separate cameras. - Robert Scoble
ah, I see - Kevin Marks
Gray, our studio cat, is in love with mimi. They did not get thrown outside today, therefore they are running around and making noise. Thanks cats! - Tina Chase Gillmor
I don't get the big deal about apps, survey after survey shows that most people ignore them(on mobile) Consumers ignore most apps on their smartphones – USATODAY.com http://usat.ly/y20Sr1 - Stephen M
Collections of polyglot web apps make lock down inevitable (Heroku) - cliveb
Stephen: absolutely false. That data is simply not right and is provably so. - Robert Scoble
thats a pew survey.. reputable - Stephen M
if this doesn't wrok, I'll go get an ethernet cable - Kevin Marks
Change just comes much more slowly than anyone expects. People don't whip into apps on the desktop if they already have what they think is a satisfactory solution, - Francine Hardaway
looks somewhat better Kevin - Tina Chase Gillmor
didn't someone make that app last year? http://isscobleinthisroom.com/ - Kevin Marks
Davie Morin's Tumblr http://bit.ly/wNJHDA - cliveb
...aand now the jet noise starts... - Tina Chase Gillmor
can you mute me round i or shoudl I? I think it's a prop plane - Kevin Marks
Tina: it looks great - we need to get to HD so I can see Steve's individual whiskers - Ankush Narula
Kevin: yeah, but that was a hack using Twitter's location. It rarely worked right. Highlight works very accurately. - Robert Scoble
Polyglot enterprise web apps make sandboxing a good thing, w/o no x-collection privacy security. - cliveb
Ankush, you do not want that! - Tina Chase Gillmor
'Capability based security' is what you want rather than sandboxing - Kevin Marks
was PATH available in Europe yet? - Stephen M
Tina: I've fashioned my own white beard to pay tribute to him - Ankush Narula
Stephen: I believe it was. - Robert Scoble
the way Europe is about privacy i wonder if they will get in trouble over there for this address book problem - Stephen M
ankush ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
Andy Baio was warning about OAuth in Wired, which is blaming the wrong piece of the stack - Kevin Marks
Lazy Fare FTW... - Aron Michalski
tina - check your @mentions - Ankush Narula
I don't think what Path did was all that bad.. I mean, you are using a mobile device, and the cell phone provider has to know where you are, who you are calling... you care about privacy, use a can and some string - Stephen M
Ankush - looks nice indeed! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Thanks for the peak - Tina Chase Gillmor
maybe you should publish your setup featuring your favorite show, of course! ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
will do - Ankush Narula
Cool side note stat: 360,500 texts are sent every second from Nokia phones - Stephen M
i think by installing social apps like fourSquare, Path, Highlight - you're implicitly opting in - Ankush Narula
exactly - Stephen M
there should certainly be disclosures about how your data is used up front - and there should be an option to delete your data - facebook sync for iphone was doing this - and then on their website they let you delete the synced data - Ankush Narula
Stephen - is that a lot? - Tina Chase Gillmor
sounds like it...just for one brand... of course the service providers only see $$$ - Stephen M
Android intents, web intents are better than iOS model - Kevin Marks
Windows 8 allows apps to talk to each other - Stephen M
stephen: very true - Ankush Narula
I watched online! - Stephen M
the online experience was very nice - Stephen M
Superbowl is tiny compared to the World cup final - Kevin Marks
or even cricket - Kevin Marks
Why don't they use the chat room that is attached to Ustream? - Stephen M
FF is not dead yet, it was only a flesh wound - Todd Hoff
Stephen: because. - Robert Scoble
NBC Press Release about Superbowl viewer stats: http://www.nbcumv.com/mediavi... - Ankush Narula
Stephen M: iOS apps can talk to each other through the cloud. :-) - Robert Scoble
Steve has a cold and it makes his voise deeper and louder.... hard to control - Tina Chase Gillmor
wow 4.5 million streamed the super bowl online - Stephen M
I need to admit that my former guilty pleasure "all My Children" is still missed by me. And I bare a crudge against ABC still - Tina Chase Gillmor
it was powered by Silverlight - Stephen M
NCIS has a great social media presence... a lot of the actors are on twitter, and tweet during the episode, or provide behind the scenes pics of episodes they are shooting - Stephen M
crugde = grudge - Tina Chase Gillmor
3D is so bogus - Kevin Marks
fishtank video - Kevin Marks
extreme close up, nerd version... - Aron Michalski
no one would watch it on CNN anyway - Stephen M
Robert has found the loudest, most boomy room to broadcast from - Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin: it's very clear you weren't at CES and didn't look at the new OLED screens. They were AMAZING in 3D. - Robert Scoble
my boys have been through arrested development that way - Kevin Marks
The Hour really was excellent. - Hilary Talbot
CBS and American Idol are making me want to watch their shows "Live"... the behind the scenes tweeting is really nice for their shows - Stephen M
Kevin: I listed to an interview with Chris Columbus, the movie producer behind Harry Potter and he totally disagrees with you about 3D. Interesting that this argument is happening in lots of places. - Robert Scoble
goodness, dump the dvd drive, - cliveb
Chris Columbus, ohhh i didn't know u were that old ;) - Stephen M
Stephen: different Columbus: http://www.imdb.com/name... is who I'm talking about. :-) - Robert Scoble
ah the election... Republican primaries have been very interesting - Tina Chase Gillmor
he, i know. - Stephen M
3D works when you have a very big screen that fills your visual field. without that it is a fishtank that reduces suspension fo disbelief as you can see the edges - Kevin Marks
GetGlue does that - Kevin Marks
Kevin: hold your computer closer to your face! :-) - Robert Scoble
Interesting that Google is trying to develop a Home Entertainment O/S - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Android at Home? - Stephen M
One good thing about the DNC coming to town, all the cell providers are improving their networks, or upgrading it! - Stephen M
I prefer GetGlue.. you get real Stickers! - Stephen M
motorola already ships loads of home entertainment boxes, and Google just bought them - Kevin Marks
do you really care what other people are watching? particularly in the age of DVR? - Ankush Narula
Highlight sounds a little like the flappers in Gulliver's Travels. - Hilary Talbot
yes, because I can see them reating to it on twitter - Kevin Marks
I do... some shows I have to watch when they air - Stephen M
Steve + JP consumer web observations turns up in Chatter Timeline - cliveb
Microsoft played around with this in the 90's. Looks like Google is looking to make this real. A complete Home O/S, controlling Media and Electrical Systems - Moe Glitz from iPhone
I only watch sports live - maybe Daily Show or Colbert if I'm awake and home - otherwise it's pretty much all on demand - Ankush Narula
Stephen - which ones? award shows, yes? - Tina Chase Gillmor
was the superbowl in 3d? - Kevin Marks
only in Indianapolis ;-) - Ankush Narula
No.. most of the shows on CBS.. each has a member of the cast or crew tweeting little behind the scenes information... especially NCIS.. - Stephen M
i like that stuff. - Stephen M
and I'm in the advertiser friendly Demo, so i guess its working lol - Stephen M
stephen - it's true - that's a fun activity - Ankush Narula
Can't wait for the Grammy's either - Stephen M
oooh BTW "The Good Wife" is an excellent show to watch anyway - Stephen M
yay G+ - cliveb
deadmau5! - Stephen M
wow: Updated: More Adults 18-49 Watched Last Friday’s ‘Fringe’ Time-Shifted Than Live - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers http://bit.ly/wr4reR - Stephen M
thanks to all! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Paul Buchheit
There were some bugs in the "Twitter publishing" code that caused some entries to get published on Twitter when they should not, and others to not get published when they should. I've cleaned up the code to eliminate these problems, but it's possible some settings were lost. Please verify your settings at http://friendfeed.com/setting...
I apologize for any lost or unwanted tweets. Please let me know if you spot any other problems. - Paul Buchheit
Cheers for this Paul. How cool is it that one of the founders of FF still gets his hands dirty in the code. Once a coder, always a coder :-) - Keith Bennett from Nambu
Thanks Keith :) By the way, if none of your posts are making it through to twitter, it may be that you changed your password. To verify, simply click "Save changes" at http://friendfeed.com/setting... and we will check that your Twitter credentials are still good (and sign-out then back in to fix). - Paul Buchheit
Matthew, in general all the same settings that the old ui had are available on the new one (plus a few more), though they are now divided on to several different pages. You should be able to reach all of the the settings by clicking on the word "settings" below your name in the top-right part of the page (the dialog shows a few, and links to all the others). - Paul Buchheit
You can filter by service by searching for service:twitter (or whatever service you like), and of course that can be combined with other search operators as well. See http://friendfeed.com/search... for more. - Paul Buchheit
Thanks Paul, sounds like you pulled an all nighter to fix these. - Robert Scoble
Yeah, unfortunately the code had gotten rather involved since it was trying to support both the old ui and the new (the old ui worked on a per-service basis instead of letting you decide individually on each entry), and the logic sometimes became inconsistent. I simplified it quite a bit, so there should be less room for bugs now :) - Paul Buchheit
Thanks, Paul. :) - Josh Haley
Nice try, Matthew, I congratulate you on being awake, and carpe-diem'ing Paul here, but have to disappoint you - if FF wanted us to have favicons, they'd already issued us our favicons. Do you see any favicons that made the transition from earlier version. No? You think Paul nuked them by mistake... be my guest, and I'll be looking forward to the next couple of years' worth of your pleading for favicons when you could be learning to live both here and thereater without them. - ianf ⌘
I'm a bit confused about the "Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter by default" and "FriendFeed (when there's no Cc box)" options. Are these exclusive? Does checking the first one mean all my FriendFeed posts will get posted to Twitter even if I uncheck the Cc box? - Tony Ruscoe
Paul, thank you thank thank you for the "Check CC Twitter box by default" option!!! That's one step closer to only needing Friendfeed. I'm almost ready to dump Google Reader AND Twitter now! - caj
Thanks Paul! - Edwin Khodabakchian
Tony, the "cc twitter by default" option sets whether then checkbox is checked or unchecked by default in the share box and bookmarklet. The other option ("when there's no cc box") applies mostly to the API and other off-site interfaces, such as email (mail share@friendfeed.com) and IM. For any given post, only one setting applies. - Paul Buchheit
I publish to Twitter by default but now link directly to the source. I figure that those finding outside of FF want to go to the source (while those reading on FF are already seeing the discussion). - Mike Reynolds
Hi Paul, about 15 mins ago I "shared" an item from FF here to "my feed" and "cc Twitter". But still not showing up on Twitter. Just thought I'd let you know. - Brian
Thanks Brian. It turns out there was a bug in the "Share" feature that sometimes caused us to sometimes not send the tweets (the new code errors on the side of not sending tweets). It's fixed now though. Please let me know if you spot any others. - Paul Buchheit
Paul, that did the trick! Thanks for looking into that. BTW, that was a quick fix! Just shared an item on FF and it pushed thru to Twitter instantly. - Brian
Hello Paul, when I try to publish just my google talk status to twitter and have "Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation" selected, it doesn't send the tweet. I'm not sure if this is because twitter seems to be having difficulty right now or if it's the lack of a source link because it's a google talk status? - ehaab
ehaab, publishing to Twitter was broken this morning, so no updates went out. It should work fine now however, including publishing updates from Google Talk. Sorry about that. - Paul Buchheit
thanks! it was driving me batty trying to figure out why it wasn't taking. - ehaab
I think it's still broken. I just posted via the Bookmarklet and CC'd twitter... no go. EDIT: my latest one just posted, must be intermittent. - Daniel Sims
Hi Paul, Mine is still not working. I have also checked the setting page. - zahedzadeh

Gillmor Gang Live 02.03.12 (TCTV) - http://techcrunch.com/2012...
steve
The Gillmor Gang - Robert Scoble, John Taschek, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor – are recording live at 1pm PT. - Steve Gillmor
hello all - Kevin Marks
I'm online there. - Robert Scoble
Hi Kevin! - Robert Scoble
Kevin, Steve says you aren't answering your Skype. - Robert Scoble
Kevin - answer video ... - John Taschek
Are you familiar with http://unhosted.org ? - Itai Frenkel
Itai: nope, thanks. - Robert Scoble
I wrote about it in my blog. It's a different business model for "free mobile apps". - Itai Frenkel
In the future we will have algorithms that would extract the metadata from the data automatically. All the facebook "metadata" would be less a competitive advantage. - Itai Frenkel
Gilmor - it could be backed up in the cloud, but still have different privacy settings (such as disallowing certain type of data mining) - Itai Frenkel
Great show! I feel very rusty! - Robert Scoble
Bret Taylor
Improve FriendFeed for your friends by recommending subscriptions - FriendFeed Blog - http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009...
Improve FriendFeed for your friends by recommending subscriptions - FriendFeed Blog
"As a devoted FriendFeed user, I have tried to convince all of my friends and family to join the site, but a handful of them never quite got their accounts set up properly. With our new Recommend friends feature, I can fix their FriendFeed experience by recommending subscriptions to them." Try it out at http://friendfeed.com/friends... - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
Nice! Friends, please send me recommendations :) - joey
Excellent feature, gooood idea! - Susan Beebe
Very cool =) - FFing Enigma
Cool stuff. - Mike Bracco
Uh, it tells me that Scoble, among others, could use the recommendations. WTF? Perhaps I have too few subscriptions for this to work. - Fred Yankowski
more good stuff - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Finally a better recommendation - directeur
I'd still love an "e-mail this item" feature, similar to Google Reader. - Jesse Stay
great idea! - Edwin Khodabakchian
Cool! Beats the heck out of #followfriday!! - Larry Hawes
What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else. - FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you. - Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible. - FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it. - Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about? - Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like.... - FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug. - Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog. - Bret Taylor
User-driven...I like. - Josh Haley
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us? - Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender? - Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed. - Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended - Bret Taylor
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical) - Meryn Stol
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant. - FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation? - Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender. - Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn) - Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations - Bret Taylor from email
Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :) - Meryn Stol
hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life.... - Bob DeMarco
I would like that deal, too, Scoble. I like this a lot. - Ben Hanten
Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily. - Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday. - Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user? - Kol Tregaskes
fatma küfür istiyor - Joan Miro
Bret Taylor
Our data center (SVColo) performed an upgrade to their core network switch this evening. Something went wrong, and the operation took 30 minutes instead of 5. We apologize for the problem.
we are back - K.D.
I wondered. Glad you are back! - Rachel Lea Fox
No problem. Just don't scare us like that again ;) - Mark Krynsky
Ok otherwise it was going to be an topic on Twitter. - Madhav Tripathi
I forgive you. - Vezquex
I thought FriendFeed would have deployed mobile datacenters across the US by now. - imabonehead
Talk to Scoble about getting you guys on Rackspace :) - Jason Cronkhite from Alert Thingy
Jason: we would love to host FriendFeed but any hoster will screw up from time to time so I would rather win their business on the strength of our technology and service. Our CEO puts his personal cell phone out there (I don't know of any other hosting company CEO that does that, plus mine is +1-425-205-1921). not to mention I have some major motivation to make sure FriendFeed stays up. :-) - Robert Scoble
Compete with Wave and let people run their own Friendfeed servers. - Vezquex
Thanks! I almost sent SOS via Twitter...but u guys were fast! :D - Roshan Ramachandran
Oh, and it was nice of you guys to arrange your downtime for when I was flying and off the net! :-) - Robert Scoble
The upside is I saw the 'new and improved' twitter web interface for the first time. When do I have time to do that normally :D - Micah
@scoble, that's just it. I've only known Rackspace to screw up once and it was due to some guy driving a car into the data center. Plus, all the other perks you mentioned. - Jason Cronkhite
Andy, long time :) - Micah
Something changed with this downtime, didn't it? All images are now hosted on friendfeed-media.com instead of the old i.friendfeed.com - Mitch
Mitch, the friendfeed-media change was deployed yesterday and unrelated to the outage. - Paul Buchheit

louisgray.com: FestivusFeed: FriendFeed Airs Your Grievances
I found this fake comment I made 1 year and 1 day ago quite ironic at this point. (Reminded by Susan Beebe's thread) - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet
"Robert Scoble joins every network but this one." BUT I kept pushing... and here we are. :-) - Louis Gray
Louis - Wow, your pushing WORKED in a big way...Mike must hate you by now! - of course I love you for that :) - Susan Beebe
Here's the post in my thread Louis is referring to -----> http://friendfeed.com/e... - Susan Beebe
It took me 1.5-years to get RSS after Dave Winer first showed it to me. So, I am getting faster. Took me just a few months to get friendfeed. Glad you kept after me. - Robert Scoble
So how do I access it? <---I take that back. Didn't realize what I was looking at when I went to the site. - Mattie Kenny
Bring back Festivus Feed! - Shawn Farner
Yeah do it! :) - Susan Beebe
My favorite grievance: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Louis Gray
Robert, now we just need to get you to understand auto-follow (the SocialToo way) ;-) - Jesse Stay
LOVE! - David Cook
Josh: it was a seasonal thing last year at this time, so it is no longer possible. We may have to bring it back by popular demand, but for now the entries you see are all from last year. - Bret Taylor
Bret - bring back those cute little red icons next to the FF posts! easy seasonal "flair" feature! - Susan Beebe
and here we are... - Jesse Stay
Jesse I want to like this, but I already liked it in 2008! - Eric Florenzano
Whoa. How did I NOT like this in 2008. Weird. - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™
The comments about this on Facebook are illuminating. - WoH: Minding her Botts
Robert Scoble, joins, then leaves, every network, including this one. - Laura Norvig

just went away. thanks ... whatever you did - studentforce
I'm not hearing an echo. - Robert Scoble
didn't do a thing - Tina Chase Gillmor
sorry about being late, I had 1pm in my head - Kevin Marks
john t and I had a discussion via email about the kindle fire last night ... amazon is going to be 2012/2013 NEWS re: eTextbooks - studentforce
Hi, from the UK. (albeit I'm n Poland..long story) - Scott Jones
hey thanks for the party invite! - Tina Chase Gillmor
re: apps vs. browsers .... Mobile users lean toward apps over browsers [study] - studentforce
Windows Phone won't take off. In the UK its all about Apple and Android/Google. In Europe (outside of the UK pretty much) NO ONE has an Apple...its quite astounding. Its all about Google.Android and nothing to do with Apple..which is interesting - Scott Jones
In for the last "Gang" of the year.. :) - Kevin Costain
Scott: everytime I'm in Europe I see iPhones all over the place. I don't know what Europe you live in. - Robert Scoble
Samsung has already shipped a million tablets with styluses: http://venturebeat.com/2011... - Kevin Marks
ask a student what Microsoft means to them .... my prediction is that at least a third will ask: 'what is microsoft' - studentforce
I think one of Microsoft's imperatives has to be making TOUCH versions of all thier flagship apps.. - Kevin Costain
...again with the parties! - Tina Chase Gillmor
That *is* a big indictment. I would think someone would get one just to be contrarian. - Bruce Lewis
Heh Robert. Talking about Central Europe. I'm British but have been through Slovakia, Hungary, Poland etc and in this part of Europe there are zero iPhones/iPads and basically no Apple. But every 15 year old kid in all these countries has an android phone. Apple dont exist in the new Europe. Which is surprising. I had to get a Samsung as I couldnt get an Apple. But MS....well...they have no chance in Europe. - Scott Jones
also for MS to migrate their shit into the cloud MARGINS will be effected big time and that is assuming they execute flawlessly: http://www.businessweek.com/news... - studentforce
I wish Steve was more Italian and used his hands to talk more ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
It's always a "new" world though. There was a time when Android didn't exist at all in this "new" world. Things change. Never say never. :) - Kevin Costain
Are people talking about Roku much? One of my users was asking for a Roku channel. - Bruce Lewis
Bruce: I see Roku come up here and there. But this is a pretty heavy Android iOS show. - Robert Scoble
Must say..i dont have a TV anymore - Scott Jones
coffee anyone? - Tina Chase Gillmor
monitors not expensive any more - Kevin Marks
I've not had cableTV service in almost a decade.. - Kevin Costain
Scott: I'm watching TV less and less. I look at it as a huge ass monitor. - Robert Scoble
I wonder though, when are we going to get a set-top box that can be as FLEXIBLE as simply using a computer? - Kevin Costain
not according to my comcast support rep .... - studentforce
Robert, what tele are you using, a Vizio 3D? - Nir Ben Yona

OK Gillmor! :-) - Robert Scoble
Hi Rocky! - Bruce Lewis
Know what you mean Robert. What's interesting though is I now stream and download everything...erm..for free. Monitisation is an issue for companies I would say - Scott Jones
When the edge is so powerful, does an edge to core strategy really make sense? - Todd Hoff
oh no....it's a streaming show again. oh noooooo - Tina Chase Gillmor
come on, no offence, lets ot have a blooming streaming conversation again! ;) x - Scott Jones
Hey Bruce! - Rocky Barbanica
heheh - Rocky Barbanica

hi Rocky - Kevin Marks
TINA !!! Happy New Year, Doll !!! - Rocky Barbanica
its a sereis of local monopolies - Kevin Marks
Netflix peaked in 2011. Streaming video's becoming a commodity with Comcast, Amazon, Vudu... Netflix is actually falling behind in terms of first run films. - Ken Sheppardson
Happy New Year, btw :-) - Ken Sheppardson
awww Rocky. Thanks and to you and yours! - Tina Chase Gillmor
$5 for the Louis CK show... you get two downloads or 2 chances to stream it. - Kevin Costain
You have to build the audience first via discovery on the aggregators. Louis CK wouldn't have sold what he did without basic cable. - Ken Sheppardson
I paid $5 to watch it.. :) - Kevin Costain
I paid $5 - Kevin Marks
I'll bet you 99% of the folks who gave Louis CK knew him from basic cable already. - Ken Sheppardson
weird we have a Lewis CK model now - Tina Chase Gillmor
I think Louis CK made the money for production costs on the shows themselves (RE: Rolling Stone's article on his recent shows).. the money he made on the online special was allot more gravy.. - Kevin Costain
Ken: I think you're right now - but that will change. It is changing. - Kevin Costain
People don't realize how good OTA quality is now that they've gone digital. - Bruce Lewis
I knew louis CK from youtube - Kevin Marks
I have no idea what Steve just said - Kevin Marks
Bruce: I can't use OTA, got a mountain in between me and the antennas. - Robert Scoble
I knew Louis KC from Pootie Tang.. :) - Kevin Costain
Kevin: YouTube of his Conan appearances or cable shows? - Ken Sheppardson
As business models content and conduit should always be separate, but look at Comcast they are trying to do both - Stephen Pickering
Croquet - Kevin Marks
hes Nick - Kevin Marks
CROQUET !!! - Rocky Barbanica
hee hee nick - Kevin Marks
Predict THIS - Rocky's running for Pacifica City Counsel 2012 - Rocky Barbanica
Robert, if you live in Half Moon Bay the view looks better than anything that would be on TV anyway. :-) But seriously, I think the percentage of cable use should be lower given the signal available to a lot of people now. - Bruce Lewis
ROCKY LANDSLIDE! - Bruce Lewis
HEH - LANDSLIDE isn't a very good Coastline platform - especially in Pacifica ! :-) - Rocky Barbanica
Have you read Interface by Neal Stephenson? - Kevin Marks
I think Reich is on to something with a Biden/Clinton swap on the Democratic side - Ken Sheppardson
I'm campaigning for Rocky! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Yeehaw! I GOT this, now - !!! - Rocky Barbanica
It's like waking up and realizing you've been sold a lie all your life that we are the most special country and we run it on real principles, and we have a real democracy. At least these tools allowed us to wake up and see how fake the so called 'establishment' really are - Stephen Pickering
Borthwick keeps sinking into the floor - Tina Chase Gillmor
Isn't robert talking about the US economy conversion from manufacturing to an information/service economy ?? - studentforce
much like in the 1920's when we converted from agriculture to manufacturing ??? - studentforce
There is really no one talking for, or representing the 99% of the population. - Kevin Costain
studentforce: yes. - Robert Scoble
Kevin: and that's the power they had. Not sure they really used it well. - Robert Scoble
I think the OWS activities were just a starting point.. that is probably a sign of things to come.. I wonder if we'll see a full-scale revolt somehow. or even if that is possible.. ? - Kevin Costain
That would be 'crony' capitalism or in Russia Oligarchy? - Stephen Pickering
Robert Scoble: what's unfortunate is that each 'conversion' or migration caused MAJOR economic upheaval. - studentforce
The Black Bloc is also the darker side of all this stuff.... I don't know what it all means.. :( - Kevin Costain
Godaddy testified to congress in favor of SOPA. When they testify against I'll be satisfied. Blog posts don't cut it. - Bruce Lewis
Scoble on Reuters - Tech Trends for 2012 - http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Rocky Barbanica
Friday at 9 or Friday at 1pm better? - Tina Chase Gillmor
...for this show - Tina Chase Gillmor
Stephen: are they both really that different (just a matter of timing), no? - Kevin Costain
Kevin You're right, I think. They are the same, just different names in American and Russia. - Stephen Pickering
Kevin is a British spy. Just figured that out. - Tina Chase Gillmor
radicals! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Giving the number of millionaires and people in power - it's clear that those with most of the money are likely to hold most of the power. They are few. - Kevin Costain
haha.. Bond, James Bond.. :) - Kevin Costain
personalities are not leaders. Social media is the leader - Tina Chase Gillmor
there was a chap a College called Kingsmill La Touche Godfrey Bond - best spy name ever - Kevin Marks
the meme is the leader - Kevin Marks
the Guy Fawkes mask is the leader - Kevin Marks
You can look at it as "no leader" or look at it as more people exercising leadership skills -- the Yosemite trip being a good example. - Bruce Lewis
"A penny for the old Guy." - Stephen Pickering
Perhaps whatever is in FRONT of the masses, is the leader. It could be anything really, no? - Kevin Costain
Kevin, no, no, no, the whole meme is getting away from the power of the Lowest Common Denominator - Stephen Pickering
I think eventually we'll see the rise of fake people leading masses (like that fake pop star in Japan).. humans created virtually to lead the masses.. - Kevin Costain
yes Stephen: "TV is not vulgar and prurient and dumb because the people who compose the audience are vulgar and dumb. Television is the way it is simply because people tend to be extremely similar in their vulgar and prurient and dumb interests and wildly different in their refined and aesthetic and noble interests." - David Foster Wallace - Kevin Marks
Wow, Kevin Marks, love that quote - Stephen Pickering
"Just because something is dead, doesn't mean it's gone" <--- funny :) - Kevin Costain
it's from E Unibus Pluram, his essay on TV which is well worth reading in full - Kevin Marks
Yeah, I definitely will. Thanks - Stephen Pickering
Email is dead. Long live email? - Tina Chase Gillmor
Having set up filtering, Scobleizer will spend less time in email but get more value from it. - Bruce Lewis
Email is most definitely NOT dead. Normal people are still learning how to use it. - Kevin Costain
I lost Borthwick! - Tina Chase Gillmor
The only way I know how to get ahold of anyone directly is via email. Every other method is like waving frantically at someone while they are speeding away and their windows are tinted. - Todd Hoff
Email's just as dead as paper. - Ken Sheppardson
Ken: Right, and NOBODY uses that ancient technology anymore. - Kevin Costain
Exactly - Ken Sheppardson
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!! - Rocky Barbanica
Thanks everyone.. Have a happy and safe New Year... see you all next year! - Kevin Costain
gzunt tite !! (sp?) - studentforce
Thanks, Happy New Year! - Robert Scoble
The ending sneeze - perfect! - Rocky Barbanica
Last sneeze of 2011! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Thanks to everyone... always...for the whole year! - Tina Chase Gillmor

Steve's boss (Marc Benioff) says we must listen to this video from wil.i.am: http://youtu.be/vjIwmJMqrco - Robert Scoble
it aint LOGISTICS !!! - studentforce
FedEx said that they used the incident as a "learning experience" - Charlie Isaacs
like Google and Firefox? - Kevin Marks
Xbox launches the Xphone and Xtv http://bit.ly/s71Qk1 (tongue in cheek) - cliveb
said that their product GA schedule was misaligned with the conference. bullshit ! - studentforce
CES feels stale - cliveb
i just rented the spce and will be doing the keynote !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - studentforce
hey cliveb I added sound effects to that FedEx video for fun :) http://youtu.be/PDF52CG71ug - Charlie Isaacs
Exactly, Scobleizer is more real-time - cliveb
he/she didin't buy enough this year (Best underBuy!) - studentforce
CES is about Android. - Charbax
Charbax: I think Mobile World Congress is a far bigger deal for Android. - Robert Scoble
Best Buy really blew it - Tina Chase Gillmor
Apple/Microsoft don't want to compete. They only want to use anticompetitive tactics and bogus patent lawsuits, they are desperate. - Charbax
Year Robert, MWC is an even bigger Android show just a month later. - Charbax
Tina, agree on Best Buy, that is going to hurt them - Charlie Isaacs
Charlie - the old adage ship via FedX for less handling! - cliveb
Last year there were 1500 booths at CES showcasing Android devices, 32 with Windows related devices, this year there'll be over 2500 booths at CES showcasing Android stuff and even fewer Windows Phone - Charbax
android isn't just about phones any more - Kevin Marks
Don’t make Amazon a monopoly... http://on.ft.com/sUsxfK - cliveb
Google launched Google Video on a CES keynote - Charbax
shoot I missed John doing a moose impression ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
Googlet demonstrated honeycomb at the last CES http://www.pcmag.com/article... - Charlie Isaacs
my guess $40 Million (or something like that) for the main pre keynote and biggest hall and promo materials, my guess Google will take it next year - Charbax
Steve is drinking out of his John Lennon glass today - Tina Chase Gillmor
the question for me is how many non-phone, non-tablet devices are running android charbax. Cameras, TVs, photo frames, etc - Kevin Marks
Tell him to say "All we are saying is give peace a chance - Charlie Isaacs
It sure as hell will never be Nokia ;) I agree Google will do it the year after next ... if the world hasn't ended.. obviously ;) - kosso
Yeah Kevin, I wonder at which point Canon/Nikon/Sony/Panasonic/JVC start putting Android in their DSLR and point and shoots and camcorders, provide photo apps, direct picasa/flickr uploads. Maybe Google releases ARM Powered Google TV, Android laptops, Android platform for E Ink ereaders - Charbax
My Jawbone Up told me that I was lethargic so I attached it to the back of Lance's bike - Charlie Isaacs
within a year most HDTVs will have Google TV integrated - Charbax
ARM Powered Google TV costs only $25 in parts to add to a HDTV including a 1080p webcam for Google+ Hangouts - Charbax
War Is Over, Merry Christmas - Kevin Marks
if Apple does a HDTV, I hope it's a Quad-HD 2160p 55" for less than $2000 - Charbax
HTC monday @ gtug (mostly Android) http://4sq.com/uiJIe0 - cliveb
But it is a good point. If stream is becoming limited by infrastructure provider plans and caps; why isn't that being solved by anyone. Last mile is limited. Spectrum is limited. What is the innovation to infrastructure that will solve it? Is anyone working on these to give us hope? - Michael A. Romig
It'll work with White Spaces - Charbax
plug in wires and it might work - Jerome Hughes
WiFi spectrum was mean to use for micro ovens - Charbax
zero wifi in the main room at le web unless you're on the ethernet tables - Michael Mahemoff
the apple time capsule will act as a dual bandwidth access point. 2.4 and 5 - kosso
run wires to the TVs - Kevin Marks
Homeland is good too - Charbax
indeed: "Wires Work" ;) - kosso
Spooks is the best show on TV (MI-5) - Kevin Marks
"Darling I love you but give me Park Avenue" -- Arianna Huffington - Charlie Isaacs
Boss ! - studentforce
"MI5"?? You mean "Spooks" !! :) - kosso
Game of Thrones.. meh... Sean Bean can only play 'Sean Bean'. - kosso
I typed Spooks - Kevin Marks
lol - kosso
You have to search for MI5 on netflix - Kevin Marks
I gather the word 'spooks' has different, non-politically-correct connotations in the USA ;) - kosso
CNN streams as does Al Jezerra (sp?) to my iPad - studentforce
Before they lost every domain in existence - Michael Mahemoff
There's 10 seasons of spooks? - Charbax
Who owns Godaddy? Didn't they sell to someone recently? - Charbax
yes, new CEO - Kevin Marks
GoDaddy caved, and said they'll sit back and see what everyone else thinks - for now. Todd Cochrane from Geek News Central had a phone interview with Warren Adelman, the new GoDaddy CEO. - kosso
KKR and Silver Lake Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures - Charlie Isaacs
I think it's time Google got in to the Domain registration and DNS management business. - kosso
@kosso - of course Sean Bean is no longer on the show ... - John Taschek
I don't know how anyone was still on GoDaddy in the first place - Michael Mahemoff
their advertising, especially - Jerome Hughes
Easy to attack and also easy to move away from - Michael Mahemoff
KKR and Silver Lake Partners paid $2.25 billion for Godaddy, maybe they want SOPA - Charbax
I still have about 100 domains with them - kosso
Why use GoDaddy when you can use Rackspace #shamelessplug - Charlie Isaacs
I have google apps domains that are white label GoDaddy ones - Kevin Marks
Wait a sec. They "caved", but if you read the press release they admit their General Counsel, Christine Jones, helped write it. Does anyone really think they are doing a full reversal here? - Michael A. Romig
Would you buy domains from Google? And manage your DNS records through them? I would. - kosso
Charlie: thank you! - Robert Scoble
I do kosso, but they whitelabel through GoDaddy - Kevin Marks
Google is technically an ICANN-accredited registrar - Michael Mahemoff
it's about how many in that market take actions that are measurable - Jerome Hughes
I'd like to host my wordpress and phpbb on Google App Engine and have Google handle domains too - Charbax
I suggest http://hover.com/tummel Tucows (who sponsor my podcast) - Kevin Marks
Kevin : interesting. I didn't know they did that. I think Google should do it all themselves. They could also strike some interesting info/ad deals for content etc.. it would be an interesting market. As if (someone like) GoDaddy got in to advertising a la adsense. - kosso
baidu - kosso
Maybe the content intermediaries don't want to loose their grip on the multi-trillion dollar content/influence industries - Charbax
@ValaAfshar 1m What you need to know about SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act) in 2012 - @rww rww.to/vDqJHv. - studentforce
social media upends sopa... - cliveb
Instead of SOPA our esteemed leadership should take out the evil Patent Trolls - Charlie Isaacs
just move to Switzerland, we legalized piracy here last month - Charbax
Even a Swiss watch is correct twice a day :-) - Charlie Isaacs
The Internet Wins: Go Daddy Flip-Flops On SOPA by @JonMwords http://rww.to/u3UgwM - studentforce
maybe Obama should just announce he'd veto any SOPA bill, that'd give him some online support - Charbax
Then that lends credence to the SOPA purpose being much broader that safe havens. Like Forbes "The Gread SOPA Conspiracy" goo.gl/exQTR. The content providers want more "controls". - Michael A. Romig
Charlie, definitely: Take out the evil Patent Trolls - cliveb
yeah! aha! that password is gonna protect you - studentforce
your printer cartridge is full, but too old - Jerome Hughes
I think you are the victim of being an early adopter, not a conspiracy of dis-operability. Scoble's HDMI example aside. - Michael A. Romig
We'll create an encrypted darknet if they try to block stuff, the prob is maybe they'll block or slow down all packets that look like they may be used for accessing the whole darknet - Charbax
HDCP damages signal ON PURPOSE - Kevin Marks
@Robert Same goes for fake Apple peripherals , they simply don't work anymore on Cupertino's iDevices. - Nir Ben Yona
I have this image in my mind of Tina standing behind Steve with a whip making him ride faster on the exercise bike. - Charlie Isaacs
as long as the content comes out of speakers and is displayed on the screen, it can be pirated - Charbax
even new Macbooks have look ahead signal processor stopping streaming to > 1 daisy chained device (good luck at conferences) - cliveb
SOPA companies can't yet install DRM in our ears and eyes - Charbax
we only want to fly these drones over potential crime scenes - Jerome Hughes
on the moon? I thought my expenses were bad - Kevin Marks
4K2K Apple TV for under $2K, bring it on - Charbax
Apple brings in a much bigger base than slingbox and legitimacy. People will partner with Apple rather than go to guns against them. - Michael A. Romig
DRM Helmets - dang! - cliveb
Charlie that's funny but instead I would like to get the bike to power the tv. If you keep the pace... no problem. If you get slow the picture deteriorates - Tina Chase Gillmor
My smartphone poll: http://gopollgo.com/will-yo... Interesting demographic detail. - Robert Scoble
my guess an Apple TV won't support DivX and MKV - Charbax
+1 Tina (I need that for my son...) :) - Charlie Isaacs
Plus I seemed to have misplaced my whip ;-( - Tina Chase Gillmor
DoubleTwist will stream to AirPlay at the moment - Kevin Marks
TWCable TV for iPad as another example. But I still won't buy cable from them having been "unplugged" now for several years. - Michael A. Romig
Christmas is coming Tina - Charlie Isaacs
voice controlled tv will come from Apple. Via Siri(ish) - kosso
on the 6th day of Christmas my true-love gave to me... a bullwhip a crackin' - Tina Chase Gillmor
If the set-top-box hardware costs $50 external and $25 internal, these types of functionalities aren't really a differentiator on a $1000-$2000 HDTV - Charbax
Wifi is the standard, but maybe it shouldn't be. Why couldn't the market crack the WiMax nut, for example. What about the latest wireless bluetooth, will that compete? - Michael A. Romig
you can maybe use ethernet over power line in your home http://www.frys.com/product... - Charbax
Scoble is like MS Applications, consumes all available memory and network bandwidth - Charlie Isaacs
everyone in Paris is getting a gigabit/s to the home, they are pulling cables through the Paris sewer system - Charbax
Yeah the problem in Europe is you can take a short train ride to the conference and you're paying silly international rates for 3G - Michael Mahemoff
More Open spectrum is a very good answer. - Michael A. Romig
I heard T-Mobile is available now, they have available spectrum - Charlie Isaacs
CCNx routers - Van Jacobson - cliveb
Only in iPad 2 and iPhone 4S devices. - Nir Ben Yona
do I need to move to Paris? - Tina Chase Gillmor
Dale J. Stephens @DaleJStephens 1m Nothing is more aggravating that not being able to communicate due to lack of Internet access. - studentforce
ipad mirroring uses few kilobits/second, a HDMI out cable can use 20Gbps - Charbax
Ask Apple to add an HDMI output on your iphone - Charbax
cat 5 - Charlie Isaacs
It could happen, but it is the early adopter problem again. All it takes are those chips that support on the fly packet inspection and prioritization to get commoditized into home devices. Of course you can do that today with higher-end network solutions. Just not your house. So I'm thinking demand just isn't there yet for the market to give you what you want. - Michael A. Romig
Enterasys RoamAbout® wireless offerings - studentforce
I think the demand will grow very fast - Tina Chase Gillmor
Android devices use the MHL connector/dock which is up to 20Gbps over HDMI, mirroring can't really compete with that. Mirroring is for glorified remote controlling - Charbax
Scoble has an OC192 coming into his house - Charlie Isaacs
I think you should end the show NOW !! - studentforce
watch-out for DRM in Tricaster HD... - cliveb
Apple doesn't want to include HDMI outputs cause they want you to buy extra devices - Charbax
some of us have been doing this with wires and projectors for many years - Jerome Hughes
if you have a popular YouTube account they encode your HD videos in realtime - Charbax
are you holding your iphone with your left hand? - Charbax
Scoble ran cables out of his windows and down the stairway - Charlie Isaacs
Charlie: nope. Just wifi. But my airport express is right over my downstairs TV. - Robert Scoble
I don't think the politicians/Obama are corrupt - Charbax
Apple needs to copy Sonos. I have Sonos setup in 8 rooms with Spotify and MOG and zero issues with wireless. They use their own mesh network in the house. - Jim Long
Just use http://www.frys.com/product... and a second WiFi router - Charbax
Politicians are persuadable by face to face speech. Trouble is that most people they talk to face to face are lobbyists. - Kevin Marks
Google/Apple/M$/Intel/HP need to put the Billions on the table and buy congress - Charbax

Apple and Microsoft support SOPA? http://venturebeat.com/2011... - Charbax
michael - find out when Lamar is appearing in public over xmas and talk to him - Kevin Marks
@charbax powerline is not all that great, and very unpredictable. A better solution is MOCA if you want to get to other rooms and have coax. - Jim Long
can you talk about sex and religion when you are done with politics? :-p - Charlie Isaacs
invite Arianna on the show next time? - Charbax
is robert drinking whisky out of a jamjar? - Kevin Marks

Streaming to a nightlight is beyond wasteful. Having computers in the bedrooms of kids is not a good idea. You need to read up on your child policies. - marstein
weird echo - Alex Williams
Steve Gillmor
Gillmor Gang, recording live today 1pm PDT participate at http://www.building43.com/realtim...
I'm waiting for the famous call. - Robert Scoble
I posted this to get ready for today's show: https://plus.google.com/u... about my first CES prediction. - Robert Scoble

Hey guys! Tina, it's your turn now. ACTION. - Nir Ben Yona
JP is not going to make it I'm afraid, clive. - Kevin Marks
Just before the first iPad was shown by Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer showcased upcoming Tablets at CES, that were suppose to be released in that fall in partnership with HP. - Moe Glitz from iPhone
You're not shitting. - Francine Hardaway
I think Tech Crunch is destroyed. I can tell it has completely changed. Softer, less interesting - Francine Hardaway
Hi Kevin:-) - Francine Hardaway
But now just as Apple is preparing the iPad 3, there is still no signs of a Microsoft Tablet? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Hi guys! - Daniel W. Crompton
I just got a WebOS Tablet, and I gave my KindleFire to my grandson - Francine Hardaway
TechCrunch has dissolved fast. - cliveb
Geekwire.com's taken over TC crown in Seattle - cliveb
Techcrunch RIP! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Is JT Buzzing! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
It depends on how you manage the acquisitions - Francine Hardaway
Sometimes acquisitions are the fastest way to destroy value (no idea why) - cliveb
The problem is that Huffington Post was acquired for $300 million at same time that TC was bought for about $30 million. I could see this collision coming from 100 miles away. - Robert Scoble
Facebook recently brought Gowalla and just burried it! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Moe: I would have buried Gowalla too. In fact, I did. - Robert Scoble
are you guys doing the gang twice a week now every week? - Laura Norvig
Is it really the expense that's the issue? Windows 8 isn't released yet, is it? - Brian Hendrickson
that would be amazing, Laura; or at least do one Gillmor Gang and one News Gang - franzstehrn
Once a week, sorry. But sometimes we delay a show until Monday. - Robert Scoble
I'd buy a Windows 8 tablet -- it's exciting that their app-building APIs are Web based. It'll be fun to make apps compared to Java. - Brian Hendrickson
ah, I see, thanks Robert. - Laura Norvig
Have to say Azure has mojo since ScottGu took over: Nodejs Hadoop - cliveb
Isn't Microsoft developing for iOS now? - Alex de Soto
They may have to develop a Office Enterprise Productivity Tablet - Moe Glitz from iPhone
cliveb yeah Node on Metro would be fun - Brian Hendrickson
I'd rather have a WebOS tablet after the iPad. Awesome platform. - Nir Ben Yona
Laura... maybe - Tina Chase Gillmor
OneNote, SkyDrive, Kinectimals for iOS... all rehearsals for a Microsoft tablet? - Alex de Soto
they don't do anything - Tina Chase Gillmor
up and to the stage right - Kevin Marks
Kevin's right about MS law suites. Even mid-level employees changing jobs are nailed to strict, enforced non-competes. - cliveb
Maybe Salesforce should develop an Enterprise based Tablet - Moe Glitz from iPhone
the enterprise based tablet is the iPad at the moment - Kevin Marks
@brian - webOS had(has) nodejs. sweet. - cliveb
wow I connect in late and I instantly get Scoble monitor envy - Charlie Isaacs
cliveb i forgot about that -- no wonder devs are so enamored with it. I did see a cool "responsive" app for different screen sizes - built with a webos framework - Brian Hendrickson
Governments still use MS Office. - Nir Ben Yona
Remember when Arrington wanted to develop a tablet? - Francine Hardaway
But Apple needs to brand the Enterprise on their iPad Platform - Moe Glitz from iPhone

I think there is actually a 2010 - Laura Norvig
is microsoft still in business ?? - studentforce
There's still a great demand for Excel and such. - Nir Ben Yona

I am running CP/M and HDOS on my Zenith Heathkit Z89. - Charlie Isaacs
kevin is crying over the death of office - Tina Chase Gillmor
CTOs like the Microsoft cloud. :( - Alex de Soto
people don't like change, obviously - Laura Norvig
ok. not true. some of its features are pretty good. spreadsheets, ppt - studentforce
FriendFeed never really did get @mentions working -- did it. G+ and FB and TW have it -- it's expected - Brian Hendrickson
Word is widely used. Most people I work with in the enterprise hate Google docs - Francine Hardaway
My wife still thinks she is running Wordstar (That's what she calls MSWord) - Charlie Isaacs
Office / Windows 8 stakes are really high, but metro delivers tablet exp. How can MS go wrong. - cliveb
being able to work offline is still important for some people/situations - Laura Norvig
Very true Laura - Moe Glitz from iPhone
its a commodity - studentforce
I write in MSWord (a lot of time on airplanes w/out wifi) and then publish to blog or pdf. I usually code in Eclipse or xCode console - Charlie Isaacs
I would be up the creek currently at home without having a full OS/Environment. So yeah, it's still very important. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
offline I use TextWrangler or SubEthaEdit - Kevin Marks
Kevin does your editor also work as a signaling device? - Brian Hendrickson
Facts, Amazon already has a patent license from Microsoft...More facts...(as of july 2011: Office 2010 continues to be the fastest-selling version of Microsoft Office in history with over 100 million licenses sold since its release a year ago. - Stephen M
Can you invite Steve Ballmer onto the Show? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
You guys are dreaming. You should live in my world. Small businesses use Word, email, and .ppt. They don't want to change. - Francine Hardaway
Sharepoint is like Yammer - Brian Hendrickson
Really depends on teh kind of Enterprise. Some businesses are still used to needing to format documents nicely and are used to doing that in word. - Laura Norvig
Sharepoint is your grandmother's attic -- where you go to store stuff you don't ever want to see again -- Benioff - Charlie Isaacs
Francine nailed it. - cliveb
Francine: yes. - Robert Scoble
No -- Excel is - Brian Hendrickson
Mostly documents in small business. NO, Steve. - Francine Hardaway
Way to bring it back to reality, Francine! Although agile small businesses with younger staff tend to use cloud apps more. some work entirely with google apps. - Laura Norvig
QuickBooks? - Kevin Marks
they use email to send documents - Jerome Hughes
Small businesses aren't where you think they are - Francine Hardaway
Jerry, that's right! They attach word documents to email:-) - Francine Hardaway
...and there's MS Access, Project and Visio. They are very persistent in certain circles. - Alex de Soto
Microsoft Has A Dozen Billion Dollar Businesses - Stephen M
I'd like to know who (profession) uses what at different age: 50+ uses ? 15-20 yrs uses ? 20 - 25 yrs uses ? 25 - 40 yrs? 40 - 50 yrs? - studentforce
Even though at Alcatel-Lucent we have moved to a Jive Platform people still use the MSOffice tools and store interesting docs and ppts in Jive Enterprise - Charlie Isaacs
OFFICE is stable - Francine Hardaway
we are a mid-size nonprofit using outlook, sharepoint, ms-office. we all hate sharepoint and smaller teams use Basecamp instead. - Laura Norvig
Unless you are in tech - Francine Hardaway
how many happy Sharepoint users are there? People are basically "living with it" - Charlie Isaacs
if you're still preparing documents for print a lot, sure, you end up in office - Kevin Marks
Charlie: right. - Robert Scoble
Microsoft Sold 5 Million Seats Of Office 365 In Less Than Three Months and 90% of those are small businesses - Stephen M
do you like it, or do you just live with it? - Kevin Marks
Charlie, it's scary how awful it is, really. Only use is version control/checkout. - Laura Norvig
Small biz likes keeping a firm grip. WinOffice over WebSocial tools - cliveb
it doesn't matter that Sharepoint is lame -- it's cheap and IT can install it behind the firewall, that makes it important. - Brian Hendrickson
if goog docs was more robust people would jump fast. No loyalty to MS like there used to be - Tina Chase Gillmor
Stephen: and Box.net has something like 8 million ustomers and is doubling every 11 months. - Robert Scoble
site licensing makes it an all or nothing decision, need to mount a major project to save anything - Jerome Hughes
sharepoint is really bad when people try to use it for knowledge management...trying to store docs that can solve customer issues in there - Charlie Isaacs
E-mail will persist as long as there are lawyers. Where else will people place those lengthy legal disclaimers? - Alex de Soto
When does the 2010 Web arrive Rob :D - David Lloyd
Tina, yep. I've tried to switch to google docs but there are bugs, load issues, and lack of complexity in formatting tools. - Laura Norvig
I used to know how to format thinsg in word - Kevin Marks
these days I write HTML or code instead - Kevin Marks
Google apps just suck, even LAPD is dumping Google apps gmail - Stephen M
Tina: That's true, but maybe from the pricing point. Most people would probably use Office if it wasn't so pricey. - Nir Ben Yona
Office is still huge in Overseas Markets like Africa and the Middle East - Moe Glitz from iPhone
eg I made http://xmaslabels.com to avoid having to deal with bloody Word tables and mail merge - Kevin Marks
There's QuickOffice Pro for the iPad. That will keep Office in use for a while. - Alex de Soto
sometimes when my kids write papers they cant do it on Google docs BUT teachers dont iinsist on Word any more because Google is free - Tina Chase Gillmor
sharepoint is not cheap next to open source content management - Jerome Hughes
Prezi is great for presentations. - Nir Ben Yona
I use Google Docs because I travel so much. When I work with an enterprise client, they want me to send a Word doc because they want to download the doc to read when THEY are traveling and offline. And when I work with small businesses and startups, they don't have time to learn any new software so they use Office for Mac:-) - Francine Hardaway
Microsoft DID NOT announce Office the ipad.. it was a rumor..why are you reporting that as fact - Stephen M
iWork apps - Jerome Hughes
Prezi is pretty cool, agree Nir - Charlie Isaacs
I like Prezi - Kevin Marks
i love Prezi. - Robert Scoble
it's a bit weird on iPad, but works OK on web - Kevin Marks
MS Incentives! IT admin shops serving smb/sme make careers and money upgrading servicing office. Make nothing with Goog docs - cliveb
Outlook Express is part of Office - Francine Hardaway
So despite all this, why was latest version of Office biggest selling version of all time - David Lloyd
Huge sales - David Lloyd
Beginners using Prezi tend to make the audience motion sick - Francine Hardaway
true Clive - Tina Chase Gillmor
inertia, David. - Kevin Marks
Francine there is no Outlook Express - Stephen M
I need to go in a couple of minutes - Kevin Marks
So "dying" products have inertia? - David Lloyd
+Steven M oops! - Francine Hardaway
OneNote for the iPad arrived on December 13, did someone already say that? - Charlie Isaacs
I said it was on iPad, but I haven't tried it - Kevin Marks
ok Kevin. I just let Steve know - Tina Chase Gillmor
Wonder if they will discuss Winer's post about Apps - David Lloyd
David: Momentum is hard to change. - Robert Scoble
iPad isn't the word processing tool. - Francine Hardaway
THat's YOU - Francine Hardaway
one day...real soon...your iPad will be your office computer AND your desktop phone - Charlie Isaacs
the liberating effect of constraints - Jerome Hughes
how can you "work" with an ipad? the app model is like Dos..one thing at a time.. - Stephen M
iAWriter is a beautiful iPad app for writers. - Alex de Soto
Everyone I know is still trying to find a good word processing tool for the iPad. - Francine Hardaway
We visit websites on our computers and use APPS on our ipads.. - David Lloyd
Exactly. The entire government offices in Israel run Microsoft Office. - Nir Ben Yona
Who cares about new apps for Windows... just go to a website - Stephen M
I've tried iAWriter and Blogsy, and Pages. I end up drafting in Evernote and then uploading to WP - Francine Hardaway
How about Skype? - Brian Costello
starting with ways to convert to and from office documents - Jerome Hughes
Yup. I use Evernote for text processing most. - Francine Hardaway
If I am online I write in WP, but that's dangerous on the iPad - Francine Hardaway
Skype bundled with Kinnect on Live Office could be useful - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Nir Ben Yona, its a good thing... LA tried going to Google Apps, but they have had to drop it it sucked so bad - Stephen M
good one Kevin - Charlie Isaacs
does prezi let you author on iPd now? - Kevin Marks
OK, I'm gone - Kevin Marks
Cld be in Airplanes disconnected Cloud apps doc experience suks. (html5 local storage ~) - cliveb
Francine -- can't you use an iPad app that hooks to your WP? - Brian Hendrickson
...but not forgotten - Tina Chase Gillmor
like MarsEdit? - Brian Hendrickson
By the way, I loaded a new app today for windows... try MetroTwit..its beautiful, and awesome too - Stephen M
Brian yes. But I write a lot on airplanes without wifi and in conferences with crummy wifi, and I need to draft offline more than you think - Francine Hardaway
Not the cheap wine, right? - Charlie Isaacs
@Stephen: Learning the hard way ;) - Nir Ben Yona
Francine - a well-designed MarsEdit-a-like would handle offline mode -- not sure if that exists tho - Brian Hendrickson
This show sounds like a bunch of Microsoft competitors complaining about them... - Stephen M
Kinnect with Sharepoint could become a Minority Report type of Office - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Great video by me about Rypple: http://youtu.be/fcDHdATSjaQ - Robert Scoble
anyone tried Microsoft Lync? - Stephen M
I want to work with the Wookey! (hint nudge wink) - cliveb
I am wondering about how this will affect the SAP/Salesforce relationship... - Charlie Isaacs
My company is a huge Microsoft partner, gives me more reason to bash on them to make them better Stephen M - Charlie Isaacs
I think eventually people will run their own cloud software the way they adopted running their own PCs in the '80s. it's the mainframe era of the cloud. - Brian Hendrickson
you can get a Windows Phone for 99 cents :) - Stephen M
I went to the real-time crunch-up, stood at a Mic and asked Jack Dorsey why Twitter wasn't decentralized like e-mail. he said the users didn't care if it was decentralized. - Brian Hendrickson

the problem with OStatus is it's like Atom -- a splinter - Brian Hendrickson
Moe why denegrate RealTime by calling it CNN.. no one watches CNN - Stephen M
there's been a lot of good real-time tech invented the past couple years -- Salmon, Pubsubhubbub - Brian Hendrickson
My point was to say that Realtime kills CNN - Moe Glitz from iPhone
that stuff can work with RSS too -- - Brian Hendrickson
Realtime is the future of News - Moe Glitz from iPhone
That's true. - Francine Hardaway
@Robert: Soooooo True! You nailed it. - Nir Ben Yona
+1 Robert - Charlie Isaacs
And I love the idea that developers wanted to build Kinect apps and the mobile platform takes no advantage of that - Francine Hardaway
but he totally backtracked on it. - Laura Norvig
Yes, I thought it was awesome, but the media nearly drove him under - Francine Hardaway
MS has enough resources where they can retain their old style legacy thinking and create a new division with "new style thinking" and just let the old appendage wither and go away on its own - Charlie Isaacs
Microsoft is doing so bad with developers they can't sell their developer tools...oh wait, its a billion dollar business thats up 11% year over year - Stephen M
Reed may be inline to succeed Ballmer (but up in the air now) - cliveb
Someone needs to replace Steve Ballmer fast - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Stephen: Box.net doubled in the same year. WHich business would you rather have? - Robert Scoble
it's not like MS is going to crash and burn, but if they don't move forward, what are they? - Tina Chase Gillmor
why do you really need email if you have threaded conversation tools? - Laura Norvig
Microsoft had a record sales/revenue year..why replace him - Stephen M
Have a wonderful holiday everybody - Francine Hardaway
He is not looking forward - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Great show - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Regardless $$ Ballmer still needs a cloudy successor. - cliveb

I think Microsoft avoiding CES is a mistake, and seems to be based on the cost to have a keynote speaker. #gillmorgang - Zennie Abraham
I brought the first live stream to the NFL Draft in 2007. NFL copied it in 2008. #gillmorgang - Zennie Abraham
Problem with SOPA is it gives power to fraudulent take down claims, even with the penalties. This is already a REAL PROBLEM on YouTube #gillmorgang - Zennie Abraham

Tina is a star, yes - Kevin Marks
My web-based twitter hasn't changed yet, as far as I can tell. - Laura Norvig
the Path thing is a demographic thing. Rich, smart, techies use Apple products. That's all. - Laura Norvig
From (very) recent experience, developing for the fragmented Android ecosystem is a pain in the ass, compared to iOS. That's why iOS seem to come first for devs. - kosso
They've changed it so much, we, the people who made Twitter what it is today, will leave. - kosso
they know we won't leave, we put up with the site being down half the time for years - Kevin Marks
Testing is a pain the ass. SAP just announced delayed release of a community platform to two million users because of problems that showed up during late testing. - Michael Krigsman
Twitter is now a product being led by too much money, managed by people searching for a business model, hiring too many people without a clue. IMHO - kosso
not testing is even more of a pain in the ass - Kevin Marks
Robert, life is about putting up with third parties we don;t like :-) - Michael Krigsman
scoble has 4000 apps on his phone - Kevin Marks
how/why is Path any better/different than what is already out there? - Laura Norvig

Te and Chai are the Mandarin and Cantonese ways of pronouncing the chinese character for Tea - Kevin Marks
Twitter App's least common redesign buried retweets and @mentions http://daringfireball.net/2011... - cliveb
hubspot is marketing WITH customers rather than at customers ... with metrics - studentforce
ERP is dead is where you were going. Zuora ????? - studentforce
there we go. in the past 5 minutes there were at least three references to SCHOOL and GRADES and textbooks !!!!!! - studentforce
steve is pushing the rewind button of his mind - Tina Chase Gillmor
I totally agree with that. gives the salesperson confidence that the time spent is worthwhile - studentforce
nope. eloqua solved that problem. you are talking about retail .... has not trickled down yet. - studentforce
i think Kevin was crying. - Tina Chase Gillmor
I had something in my eye - Kevin Marks
kevin is using the dust in his yard to cover up the sobbing ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
steve's thunking about jillian tett's: men, woman - and machines (self curating rogue chatter bots) - cliveb
social is the ability to 'work a room' digitally ????? - studentforce
dead to me - Kevin Marks
OR human beings are incredibly simply and somewhat stupid - Tina Chase Gillmor
it's hard to say what is dead or not dead, but easier to say what we want: clearly defined circles and noise controls so important signals always get to us when we need them. - Laura Norvig
reportive ? - studentforce
rapportive - Kevin Marks
what I also want: less platforms. - Laura Norvig
we demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty, laura - Kevin Marks
;-) - Laura Norvig
thanks Kevin !! - studentforce
to what degree does the ability to tweet begin to influence the events being tweeted about - did that make sense ?? - studentforce
smarter feedback loops - Laura Norvig

I stopped answering my landline ages ago. 100% screened. - Laura Norvig
You guys in the USA having to pay for incoming calls has to be the most ludicrous thing ever. I couldn't believe. It's kind of understandable for international roamers. but. still. Nuts. - kosso
that's why the bill wont pass. gov doesnt want to be responsible for phone bills - Tina Chase Gillmor
What OSS license will WebOS be done with? This question has yet to be answered. - kosso
WebOS all depends on HP's open source governance, and their record is hardly pristine so far. - Michael Mahemoff
yes, I'm assuming a sensible license there, not a Javaesque situation - Kevin Marks
If they're smart, they'll go with a standard (permissive) license, not a weird legalese one-off license which doesn't fit into corporate policies. - Michael Mahemoff
However, Amazon (and Facebook?) forking Android may have freaked them out against any possibility of a permissive license. - Michael Mahemoff
Kevin: My results...We last saw Scoble 5969km away from you, 3 days ago. - Alex de Soto
point is it's a web page that asks your location - Kevin Marks
Chrome 16 introduced optional permissions (for apps/extensions) http://code.google.com/chrome... to stop everything having to be accepted upfront. - Michael Mahemoff

Someone who looks like Scoble was wearing a tuxedo last night at the Rackspace party. - Charlie Isaacs
I can never find where to choose "show me less" about a person. - Laura Norvig
The Coca Cola page is owned by Pepsi haha jk - Charlie Isaacs
ohhh, under Subscribed. Ugh. weird terminology. - Laura Norvig
Hmm... Speaking of "filtering out..." - Phil Gomes
guys, behave! ;) - Maciej Głuszek
Interesting comments, brands on FaceBook is what you pay for the "Free" Service - Daniel W. Crompton
Robert i'm looking at the top right corner and it's a Subaru ad -- he's not *totally* wrong - Brian Hendrickson
Court date? Look at the background... - Phil Gomes
Phil: Kevin Marks is in Redwood City for the geek event I'm hosting in a couple of hours. - Robert Scoble
I "Like" some brands, music bands etc. And I click "dont show me anything from..." and I don't see this in my feed ever - Maciej Głuszek
not seeing any packet loss when listening to you.... - Kevin Marks
I miss SV geek events ,though geek events here in the Windy City are quite awesome. - Phil Gomes
So, Acquaintances is for people who don't have the balls to unfriend someone. Hmmm. - Laura Norvig
but they are starting to surface tools in the stream itself for graph cleanup. That is what needs to happen so it's "in that moment" you can do it a piece at a time. - Jerry Schuman
Sorry Kevin. Your feed breaks down a bit. We'll keep trying...talk fast! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Steve Gillmor they changed it from 50 to 150 - Brian Hendrickson
Sites need to have "Like", "Dislike" and "Damn With Faint Praise" buttons. - Phil Gomes
This should be called "The Random Show" ;) - Maciej Głuszek
hey man! you're violating your friends privacy :) - john
definitely. If I want to use Facebook for my org, share to a specific page I manage, switch roles, etc., I can't do some of that fine-grained admin stuff well on mobile. - Laura Norvig
Laura, very true - Tina Chase Gillmor
Facebook should be the major 'Stream'. But sadly it is turning into a 'Tidal Wave'! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
bet you Balmer uses an iPad2 !! - studentforce
studentforce: I seriously doubt that. - Robert Scoble
US snail mail just arrived. That was loud! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Back in London, this Show is all over the place. Bandwidth problems ruining the enjoyment - Moe Glitz from iPhone
I tend to agree with Robert on Facebook. I like it more now than ever. - Tina Chase Gillmor
Sounds like Perssonas. ;-) - Jerry Schuman
GO 9ers! :) - Charlie Isaacs
that is so annoying, though. I hate them trying to figure out what I want to see. - Laura Norvig
it would be interesting to provide a Radian6-like keyword/filter mechanism that consolidates your personal "rivers of data" - Charlie Isaacs
Charlie, that's why I use lists. The ones *I* created, not the ones Facebook tried to foist on me. - Laura Norvig
But you should be able to filter within the lists to "escalate" the important subjects/topics (to you) of that minute/hour - Charlie Isaacs
Ah, true. Show me what my nptech friends post if it's about tech, but not about their babies. But you do kind of lose the personal touch of social networks that way. - Laura Norvig
Facebook is doing something interesting with the way they now group together who and how many people have shared a specific link. - Laura Norvig
agree (about the personal touch) Laura - Charlie Isaacs
I have some technology that I'd love to sell to Betaworks that does exactly what he wants. - Jerry Schuman
Laura: exactly right. Facebook's lists are better than Google+'s. - Robert Scoble
Herman Cain says "Ok, there was that first woman, and then Ginger, and um, who was that third woman, um, " - Charlie Isaacs
Rule of thumb: If you hear it from Laura N, it's generally right. :-) She set me straight twice recently. - Bruce Lewis
Bruce, wait, whut? - Laura Norvig
I hope that Scoble was watching my "Honey Badger Customer Service" video :) - Charlie Isaacs
how 'bout the amount of money our senators and reps earn from insider trading ???? - studentforce
Laura: once on suicide statistics, once on whether Kevin Fox should visit FF more often. You were right both times. - Bruce Lewis
Scoble, yes and no. I think they stumbled by trying to foist lists on the 99% who don't use them. It seems awkward. I now have two Family lists. One I created myself and one Facebook created for me. It said I could merge them but that didn't work. - Laura Norvig
(Insufficient bandwidth on this train to watch the video feed. Trying to infer conversation from the comments.) - Bruce Lewis
I was watching this street skiing video. http://www.kmcmag.com/fresh-c... Pretty epic. - Robert Scoble
Kevin Fox can check out but he can never leave. - Laura Norvig
I am very jealous of John Borthwick's hair - Charlie Isaacs
Chat not happening and I can't see the video. I guess I'll go back to playing with the Instagram API. Later! - Bruce Lewis
They're talking about the Carrier IQ debacle - Charlie Isaacs
still can't TRUST FB when it comes to privacy and choices. That's an issue - studentforce
studentforce: that's bullshit. Don't put anything on a computer that you want to be private. - Robert Scoble
Even on Path I don't see anything there that wouldn't be shared anywhere else. - Robert Scoble
And Facebook gives you more privacy choices than anyone else. - Robert Scoble
Personally I went the other way, I make everything on these things as "public as possible." - Robert Scoble
3 minutes of battery left... - Kevin Marks
Studentforce: and apps like Socioclean even let you see exactly what Facebook is exposing about you and you can delete everything you don't want other people to see about you. - Robert Scoble
What *doesn't* let you stalk Robert Scoble? :-) - Bruce Lewis

Alex: yup! :-) - Robert Scoble
Kevin Marks is always the smartest guy on GG - Paul E. Ester
Paul: I agree with that! - Robert Scoble
msft and aapl supporting this nonsense - Paul E. Ester
Of course, MSFT and APPL are media businesses. Microsoft with Xbox. Apple with Disney and all the content it delivers on the iOS platform. - Robert Scoble
Kevin almost always has the coolest British accent on GG, Paul - Tina Chase Gillmor

Kindle Fire Mini-Review: Fits nicely on the nightstand. Video and music playback is very good as is implementation of the cloud. Browser OK but Flash slows it down. Reading OK (backlight helps at night) but not as good as with e-ink. Size is OK but feels heavier than the iPad because of bulk. Will not replace my iPad. - Alex de Soto
will physical libraries die now? - Tina Chase Gillmor
Libraries will become places we MAKE things: http://www.smartplanet.com/blog... - Robert Scoble
can someone PLEASE get me some more coffee? - Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina: I was just thinking the same thing. - Robert Scoble
ohh - Robert mentioned libraries! - WoH: Minding her Botts
Fire does have magazines - Dale Lature
Gah, why is this so early now? I missed it ... wah. - Laura Norvig
Laura: it's recorded too. - Robert Scoble
who is the mainstream now, asks Steve. Interesting - Tina Chase Gillmor
Ah, I know, tx, Robert. I just love bantering with y'all. - Laura Norvig
Laura - we could do a show last Friday - Tina Chase Gillmor
Gillmor Gang needs a Google + page we can put in our circles so we can get notifications about when the shows are - Dale Lature
Laura: and we love bantering with you. - Robert Scoble
Dale: good point. It'll take Steve another few months to get Google+. :-) - Robert Scoble
Tina, are you messing with me because I haven't had enough coffee yet either? - Laura Norvig
CNN- Ad Channel with News Bites - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Steve is drinking out of his DAD mug today - Tina Chase Gillmor
Moe: news bites taken from Twitter. :-) - Robert Scoble
Twitter TV could be interesting - Moe Glitz from iPhone
that's because people don't read anymore ... - Laura Norvig
Idiocracy - Laura Norvig
hotter than pictures are live streams - Paul E. Ester
since G plus doesn't bring stuff in, is not an aggregator, you're only getting native conversations. We need the uber real-time search combining Facebook, Twitter, G Plus, etc. - Laura Norvig
I read Google+ for the pictures oops I mean the articles - Charlie Isaacs
I want to hear more about the Fire - Dale Lature
Laura: bing! Dale: what is there to talk about? It's a great device because of the price and the Amazon ecosystem. - Robert Scoble
How it is to use, quality, etc. Ya know, review type stuff - Dale Lature
IOW, why is it good enough to be the only other tablet next to iPad? - Dale Lature
Dale: hasn't that been talked to death by the pros? Most of which have been pretty negative, mostly because people are comparing to iPad or other Android tablets. Why is it good enough to be the only tablet next to iPad? Amazon. Amazon. Amazon. $200. $200. $200. - Robert Scoble
@ Dale cheap price / amazon content - Paul E. Ester
and you guys are more positive, and are people I trust more than the Mainstream emdia - Dale Lature
Amazon is why I was initially enthused...just the world they offer...but what's left is the usability....I think I'm getting one based on what I've heard which is basically "Not bad perfomance" - Dale Lature
Robert, do you have one and have you written about it or talked about it elsewhere? - Dale Lature
Dale: I've had my hands on it. I'm not interested in it. For my uses the iPad is totally superior. But I will buy them for other people, due solely to the low price. - Robert Scoble
I have a variety of other Android tablets too. I never use them. They just don't measure up to iPad. - Robert Scoble
Curious as to how everyone likes/doesn't like a "monday" show? Beginning of the week...do you like that? - Tina Chase Gillmor
Push notification == email inbox? - Todd Hoff
I am more likely to make the monday live than friday. Always appreciate the show and your work - Paul E. Ester
Monday is good for me this week because we have a "forced" week off at my company :) - Charlie Isaacs
Most awesome is to get it to the cloud fast so I can watch it on appleTV. The NoAgenda Podcast gets posted within a couple of hours and I love the reliability of knowing it will be available if I miss it live - Paul E. Ester
Happy thanksgiving all - Paul E. Ester

FLAC is fantastic. mp3 is killing hi-fi music. - Richard Carter, FCD
Pandora is awesome. Music still works the same way -- I don't know what they would do with talk radio. - Bruce Lewis
Noise controls are a double-edged sword. FriendFeed made great noise control, but as a result new users got an initial impression that there was huge noise. - Bruce Lewis
Social networks suggest following inactive users because they want those users to get reengaged. - Bruce Lewis
Google is a big company and they do things wrong a lot of the time. No matter how smart they are - Francine Hardaway

Maybe he's just posting privately to friends? :-) (Just kidding...I don't think so.) He does post infrequently: https://plus.google.com/u... - Bruce Lewis
Cleaning the stream is the way to make good culture. - Arnie Klaus
Thank goodness this show isn't on radio. If Robert had gotten even more excited earlier on, Tina would have had to hit the 'profanity delay' switch on the Tricaster. Or is it the "shitsplitter" switch? - Alex de Soto

Sorry Google+ is a minus for me - Moe Glitz from iPhone

G+ for Photography is +1 - Aron Michalski
Vic said they'd stop being dicks about names - Kevin Marks
that's a start - Stephen
I love Google+. I get a lot of engagement - Francine Hardaway
Hangouts on Google Search could be interesting - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Google+ API more directions than Steve Yeggies 5000 word Rant indicated http://bit.ly/paMfH2 - cliveb
I just haven't been pulled in. No benefit over Twitter for me right now. Feels like duplication right now to me - Tina Chase Gillmor
Activity Streams is what you need - Kevin Marks
Activity Hangouts - Moe Glitz from iPhone
i'm surprised my kid isn't using Google hangout - Tina Chase Gillmor
mine use skype to hang out - Kevin Marks

while they are playing games or doing homework - Kevin Marks
as a teen, i would've loved G hangout over AIM - Stephen
you'd think so but they're not using it - Tina Chase Gillmor
does skype support 10 people in one convo? - Stephen
it does in audio, which is what they want; they have a shared world in the game or the document - Kevin Marks
i'm doing this in audio only today... - Kevin Marks
I have a Circle of Gillmor Gang:-) Or more accurately, one of Newsgang - Francine Hardaway

Well, as interesting as Mickeleh, Karoli, Aroniski, Rob LaG., Scoble, Taschek, Steve, Kevin, Borthwick you, etc can be - Francine Hardaway
can you use it in a sentence? - Stephen
Francine... right - Tina Chase Gillmor
odd. leave the video off - Kevin Marks
Skype has an established population. Pulling people over to g+ hangouts is as much effort as pulling people in from FB. - Michael Markman
video doesn't add that much if it's just faces. All it does is cost your more attention. - Michael Markman
"There needs no ghost come from the grave to tell us that," Robert. - Francine Hardaway
Skype should breathe life into Microsoft, if used right - Moe Glitz from iPhone
hahaha - Michael Markman
what about Tango? - Stephen
microsoft has a track record of acquiring things that should breathe life into it... but they never do. The Microsoft culture smothers them all. - Michael Markman
Microsoft Research can barely do it (Kinect being the only exception I can think of) - Kevin Marks
yes Private messages Steve doesn't see! - Tina Chase Gillmor
i like it - Tina Chase Gillmor
True Michael. 2012 will be a big year for Microsoft - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Something keeps dinging in the studio. driving me freaking crazy - Tina Chase Gillmor
steve ipad I think - Tina Chase Gillmor
haha i've been hearing robert talk about the noise since G+ first came out. maybe he has a point? - Stephen
I love this Gang. you rock guys - Tina Chase Gillmor
you don't know what is noise; how could an algorithm? - Kevin Marks
hey Occupy Wall Street is hanging in there - Tina Chase Gillmor
Yeggie posted an update credits Google for listening and Bezos for war stories http://bit.ly/nRGLkb - cliveb
Robert filters me out - Tina Chase Gillmor
Sometimes noise is good. You may find out about something you were not tracking but may have great impact on your life. - Alex de Soto
Anyone here following the development of hypothes.is ? - Debi Jones
@alex relevant noise is fine by me - Stephen
there was buzz about hypothes.is at IIW, haven't tried it yet - Kevin Marks
agree w/ Alex. the perfect filter puts us into a cage lined with mirrors - Michael Markman
how about ifttt.com ? - Kevin Marks
A retardant? Sounds like a chemical they put in children's pajamas - Francine Hardaway
Tina: I filter you out into my "better pay attention" folder. - Robert Scoble
there are a few Steve projects in the pipeline - Michael Markman
aw Robert, I'm touched - Tina Chase Gillmor
Can't we just treat all this as a stream that floats by, and reconcile ourselves to missing some things? - Francine Hardaway
you just dont want to get smacked - Tina Chase Gillmor
I think the Apple TV stuff is much farther out. - Michael Markman
which could be done with a software upgrade for Apple TV 2 - Jerome Hughes
He was terrified that Apple would suffer the same post-founder fate as HP - Michael Markman
sync sanc sunc? - Francine Hardaway
i hear the meaning of life is chocolate - Stephen
And it will, Michael - Francine Hardaway
It is inevitable - Francine Hardaway
but it may be postponable - Michael Markman
Google+ readies new features... http://bit.ly/oFoAKm - cliveb
Sure. They sold it. They're out - Francine Hardaway
like traffic, when it was experimental, there was plenty of detail, then it got packaged and it's a summary at best - Jerome Hughes
i think Robert just annouced it - Tina Chase Gillmor
battery died on the mifi. not my day - Kevin Marks
Siri is one of those things you say "wow" about but don't use much. Like Facetime - Francine Hardaway
I would use Siri non-stop if I had it. - Stephen
Robert says we're all on Facebook, but that's not so. I deleted my account there. - Debi Jones
Not after it gave you a few snarky unhelpful answers - Francine Hardaway
What's the IP on Siri like? Can Android implement a similar feature? - Stephen
I love a bit of snark :) - Stephen
Debi: people who aren't on Facebook are weird. - Robert Scoble
Nice, Robert. - Francine Hardaway
I suppose I"m weird, too, then. - Stephen
Yep, that may be true Robert. I'm kinda weird. - Debi Jones
Everyone my age has a token profile without a photo on it or anything written on their wall. Their kids put them on, but they don't engage - Francine Hardaway
Betcha those queries that lead to snarky answers today will lead to useful results in the future as Apple learns and itierates Siri. - Michael Markman
What about people who are not on Google+ Robert - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Android has a similar feature - voice search has been there for ages, voice command is separate. they need to unify and tune it. - Kevin Marks
Not if they all refer to StarTrek, Michael - Francine Hardaway
Google Translate for android is in many ways more impressive than Siri - Kevin Marks
people who are not on Google+ are completely normal.. ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

Gillmor Gang, recording live today 1pm PST participate at http://www.building43.com/realtim...
hello? - Kevin Marks
Starting up shortly. - Robert Scoble
hot sunny day here in northern California - Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin, you on Skype? - Robert Scoble
Call in on NewsGang 3. - Robert Scoble
kevin can you call in on NewsGang 3 please - Tina Chase Gillmor
hi there! - Maciej Głuszek
Hi Tina! - Aron Michalski
hello! - Hilary Talbot
Hellooo - Kevin Costain
here we go - Tina Chase Gillmor
Happy birthday Steve - Michael Krigsman
lost connection - Kevin Marks
I can hear the music in my head - Christian Burns
Just a minute. Technical problems. - Robert Scoble
Ahh, technology :) - Maciej Głuszek
Poor New Yorkers standing in line for iPhone 4S - the rain just started coming down quite hard - Ankush Narula
be this test card, John: http://www.barney-wol.net/video... - Kevin Marks
I think ustream is buggy too - Christian Burns
Phone companies are trouble all the way round - Michael Krigsman
I've been pondering this new iPhone. perhaps this device is in my future.. :) - Kevin Costain
My 4s is waiting at home. - Eric - Temp Giants Fan
if it has a bigger aperture, it may be less sharp - Kevin Marks
Is that Nikon film camera we saw there? - Michael Krigsman
F100 maybe? - Eric - Temp Giants Fan
4S improvements were mostly for low-light shooting - Ankush Narula
Turbo C for DOS is the best...:) - Kevin Costain
"Steve Jobs's death increased sales of iPhone 4S" - that was funny - Ankush Narula
Oh yea @Kevin.. I used that book in College (if I remember correctly).. great stuff.. - Kevin Costain
Page views online and eyeballs in print -- same motivators, different tools. Blah. - Michael Krigsman
Michael: yup, it's a Nikon F2 made in the 1970s. - Robert Scoble
I've had it 22 years, and I knew exactly where it was to take that photo - Kevin Marks
Robert: obviously there is a story there - Michael Krigsman
Say, I've been pondering the role of journalists as so-called "experts", but they actually don't do anything other than report on things other people actually do. Is there actually the large disconnect that I think there is? - Kevin Costain
@Kevin - I have that book somewhere at home too... be hard to find it I think.. :( - Kevin Costain
There is no current business model for profitable newspaper publishing, and people say blogging the replacement. However, there is also no business model for bloggers, in general. Seems that news has a little problem. - Michael Krigsman
What if the college students ranked newspapers? http://wapo.st/rrFaXr - John Taschek
The only ones still buying newspapers turns out to be newspapers… http://www.guardian.co.uk/media... - David Berry
ActivityStreams Facebook style - Ankush Narula
lost Kevin. Hope not for good - Tina Chase Gillmor
@Micheal - indeed, the business model for that stuff may be worth investigation.. but I speak more of those in the technology industry (that make money by making technology work, or making technology) and those that report ABOUT it. The line that those that report and those that do it seems to be less delineated.. something is up there though I'm probably not articulating it well enough. :) - Kevin Costain
Steve Yegge deserves Pulitzer - cliveb
Major manufacturers have ceased production of new motion picture film cameras; cinema as we once knew it is dead -- http://www.salon.com/2011... - David Berry
BlackBerry crumble(s) - cliveb
my mac kernel panicked. rebooted, trying skype again - Kevin Marks
I see allot of these BOLD statements about technology almost for the sake of being bold.. but where is the substance behind it? Are these people making these bold statements ever in the position to have to back these things up? - Kevin Costain
It's interesting that Google continues to develop Orkut: http://en.blog.orkut.com/ - Ankush Narula
why would google abandon 70M users of Orkut? - Kevin Marks
agreed - but why wouldn't they transition them to G+? - Ankush Narula
G+ has fewer features and a different friend model. would be a big transition. They are ending Buzz. - Kevin Marks
Orkut is big out in South America right? Google seems to be dumping lots fo stuff lately. - Kevin Costain
Brazil, India, Estonia... - Kevin Marks
Most Brazilians I know have abandoned their beloved Orkut and even MSN Chat for Facebook and Facebook Chat - Stephen Pickering
right, the more westernized ones go FB first. I've heard 'orkut is now the myspace of brazil' - Kevin Marks
I do wish I had gone into Brazil when I was down in Boliva last April.. it was possible.. - Kevin Costain
and we're off the air? - Ankush Narula
bringing it back up... trying - Tina Chase Gillmor
Of the air for me (in Toronto, Ontario).... :( - Kevin Costain
Gonna get Footloose, Cut Footloose. haha - Kevin Costain
we're working on it - Tina Chase Gillmor
should be momentary - Tina Chase Gillmor
Oh, speaking of outages, RIM's was pretty rough. Essentially all of my customers hate Blackberry's now. Consumers are fickle. - Kevin Costain
Roger McNamee was on CNBC this morning. Do we believe his forecasts? - Stephen Pickering
is gabe sitting on a bouncy ball? - Kevin Marks
Perhaps that will pass.. I guess the good thing is people's memories tend to be short.. and when they're locked into two and three year contracts, they won't remember this when it's time to renew. - Kevin Costain
hang in there folks - Tina Chase Gillmor
Check this out.. Gmail just gave me an obvious SPAM message.. I checked more details and it says "Important mainly because it was sent directly to you.". I'm thinking, that's not too strict if that's all they're checking.. :) - Kevin Costain
gabe is commissioning stories for techmeme now? - Kevin Marks
Copycats, easy and low cost to create Apps and get Distribution, more freelancers than Startups. - cliveb
Bummer that the stream is down. - Robert Scoble
Hey how did Calacanis get a live youtube account? - Stephen Pickering
techmeme posts tweets now - Kevin Marks
we're still trying to bring the stream back up. - Tina Chase Gillmor
Its off the Air at Ustream now - Mansoor
appreciate your patience. we're goin a bit nuts here - Tina Chase Gillmor
here we go - Tina Chase Gillmor
Yapeee...its back up! - Mansoor
MG was good at turning ambient twitter conversation into blogposts. Is Gabe taking that over? - Kevin Marks
how about that. - Aron Michalski
Well, like him or not, Fred has integrity in the community. If he lost that, he wouldn't make Techmeme, I don't think - Stephen Pickering
So what's happened with Techmeme? I have I missed something? - Stephen Pickering
Stephen: exactly. Integrity is one of my favorite words. - Robert Scoble
Stephen: we always try to figure out what Techmeme is about. :-) - Robert Scoble
hahahaha :-) - Stephen Pickering
Robert: What exactly is the arbiter of integrity? - Kevin Costain
Dork Wars. - Aron Michalski
haha.. who are you fighting.. ? - Kevin Costain
Nas v Jay-Z? - Eric - Temp Giants Fan
I think the arbiter of integrity is the sense they put truth and objectivity above money and personal gain - Stephen Pickering
Kevin: Integrity is "are you what you seem?" So, if you are a criminal, and everyone knows it, you have integrity. Now, if everyone thinks you are a Rabbi, but you actually are a criminal, then you don't have integrity. - Robert Scoble
Stephen: Indeed that is one nice definition of integrity.. but I'm more interested in what decides who does or doesn't operate with integrity? - Kevin Costain
yeah - like Omar on The Wire - that dude had integrity - Ankush Narula
someone flew a kite in the WSJ which gabe picked up. Maybe they were trying to get valuations down. - Kevin Marks
Why is Steve getting more credit than Bill gates? Bill put a PC in the hands of villagers in developing countries. He put them in failing inner city schools. Steve Jobs put computers in the hands of the well-off. - David Lloyd
I do know what it's like to live with integrity. Indeed, this is essential. But, when we have those out there and we lack personal involvement with these people. What helps me know that this person has integrity. - Kevin Costain
look back to Apple II, David - Kevin Marks
David: because Bill put products in my hand that crash and are ugly. He will get lots of love when he dies, too. - Robert Scoble
There's usually 2 questions you need to ask yourself; 1) is this a pot of S&^t? and 2) Am I going to stir it? - Aron Michalski
The "Beige" Boxes heheheh - Stephen Pickering
I consider this more of a Klout thing. Klout being a measure of influence, right? - Kevin Costain
Klout measures online popularity and topicality. I wouldn't go as far as saying it truly measures influence. - Robert Scoble
But it gets us at least partway down that road. - Robert Scoble
Eh. Bill Gates changed computing as much as Steve Jobs did - the love won't be the same for Bill because the Microsoft message has become about malware, "Product Activations", and sales channels - Ankush Narula
the Mac was the first beige box... the PCs were metal before - Kevin Marks
There is a reasonable chance Bill Gates will help erradicate Malaria and put clean water in villages in the Sudan. I know who I think changed the world the most. - David Lloyd
It doesn't have to be pissing contest. They've both done great things - Stephen Pickering
Sure. Popularity and topicality are not influence. I think something like tying honesty and integrity to an identity would give words of those with more of it, more weight. - Kevin Costain
I've read Steve Jobs was a dick at times. +1 for him right there.... :) - Kevin Costain
The greatest geniuses always have the greatest weaknesses. Without the dick part, you wouldn't have the genius part - Stephen Pickering
I do consider Jobs a genius. If I had met and interacted with him, I'd probably know for sure. - Kevin Costain
Stream died again.. :( - Kevin Costain
Oh, there it is. ) - Kevin Costain
Which article? - Stephen Pickering
Which Journalist? - Stephen Pickering
Names, names - Stephen Pickering
This specific world required a new group of experts to translate what was happening. Then this world began becoming the the world around us all. - Aron Michalski
Well, guys.. I have to run.. cheers.. thanks for the show today..! - Kevin Costain
1-click purchasing patent - huge innovation - Ankush Narula
"My Documents" folder patent - amazing innovation - Ankush Narula
I like that better with the screen ratio - Stephen Pickering
and when the money gets big enough, the old money types (all money types) take it for real. It becomes mainstream when the big dogs want a bite. - Aron Michalski
How dare they make a beautiful product - Christian Burns
Your hammer looks just like my hammer! - Stephen Pickering
Thats way too pretty, make it uglier please - Christian Burns
you can turn flash off - Kevin Marks
I'd rather it have flash - Stephen Pickering
Innovation is what you leave out - just as much as what you include - Ankush Narula
it needed a stylus - Kevin Marks
haha - Ankush Narula
who was that? ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
Microsoft Metro? - Ankush Narula
never cared about it before - Kevin Marks
@stephen - this is the one: http://gawker.com/5847344... - John Taschek
@stephen - and this was a more recent post that referenced it - http://www.forbes.com/sites... - horrible journalism. - John Taschek
Ah, thanks John - Stephen Pickering
MeatierGazer - Kevin Marks
how much did I miss? - Christopher Harris
The whole thing - Christian Burns
Big trend killing processing latency: Facebook ticker, Google Pregel. Salesforce GraphDB arch for distributed Chatter. - cliveb
Thanks everyone. - Aron Michalski
thanks for everyone tuning in, chatting and having a great time. Have a good weekend - Tina Chase Gillmor
Steve Gillmor
Gillmor Gang, recording live today 1pm PST participate at http://www.building43.com/realtim...
excellent - Kevin Marks
have I got time to grab some Tea? - Kevin Marks
Hanging by waiting for the famous call. - Robert Scoble
will you all be recording this? - Jimminy, CoG of FF
We always do. Should still be on techcrunch tomorrow. - Robert Scoble
hi all - Aron Michalski
famous call is coming - Tina Chase Gillmor
running a wee bit ;ate...sorry everyone - Tina Chase Gillmor
Operators are now standing by... - Robert Scoble
No worries, Tina - Francine Hardaway
Hi Tina... I'd expect it, I'm usually a few weeks slow after Europe. - Aron Michalski
Thanks Robert. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
hey Francine! - Tina Chase Gillmor
couple of glitches we are swatting away - Tina Chase Gillmor
My 10 minutes of non-interruption must be coming up - 2 year old will be breaking and entering my office at any moment. - John Taschek
I don't know if you saw my "in a funk" post: https://plus.google.com/1110910... - Robert Scoble
But I'm not looking forward to today's show. - Robert Scoble
great post robert - Moe Glitz from iPod
I usually love these shows, because we talk about the future. But I have a feeling that's not what we're talking about today. - Robert Scoble
hi Aron - hanging out in my garage on a glorious Chicago(land) October afternoon - Jerome Hughes
Steve in black. - cliveb
we will be talking about the man who invented the future - Moe Glitz from iPod
you have to be involved with a patent to be listed on it, so Steve was involved - Charlie Isaacs
Yup. - Robert Scoble
Moe: good way to put it. - Robert Scoble
gah, my comcast cut out for a minute - Kevin Marks
iLived. Steve Jobs. What a Life! - Moe Glitz from iPod
Mighty big hole in the World right now :-( - Stephen Pickering
Thanks for giving Doc the first wack; - Aron Michalski
I like Doc Searls' Buddhist point that without Jobs vacating the space, further growth is not possible. - Francine Hardaway
That was a really good summary by Doc, made me feel a lot - Stephen Pickering
A life well-lived. What more can anyone expect? It's a sad thing but hardly an ending. - Karoli
I regret Steve's "hobby" -Apple TV- did not roll out in elaborated fashion before he passed. I was looking forward to Apple disrupting another hide-bound industry: TV - r Macdonald
Robert is choked up and it's choking me up - Robert J Taylor
r Macdonald: I agree. I can't wait to see what Apple's working on there. - Robert Scoble
I know, I hate being sad, but that's how I feel - Stephen Pickering
we should be glad for what he gave us but equally sad for what we will never know - Moe Glitz from iPod
don't you all think he had enough time to lay out a vision for what he saw and time to pull in people who could execute it? - Karoli
Data is not everything - Francine Hardaway
struggling with Danny's audio. sorry - Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina: I could hear it all. - Robert Scoble
true Karoli, but who is there to lovingly build it and cast a magic spell on it - Moe Glitz from iPod
Karoli, I think we overestimate how far he was able to see into the future. Remember it's not that he invented the tablet, or the mp3 player, or the computer: he made them BETTER. - Francine Hardaway
some gaps on the stream, but not enough to lose the meaning - Kevin Marks
That's what worries me. He somehow needs to be here to help us make things better. - Francine Hardaway
he was a worldwide influencer - Tina Chase Gillmor
few are - Tina Chase Gillmor
Perhaps we can that the esthetic sense and simplistic interfaces and move forward, keep it simple, keep it beautiful. - Aron Michalski
it was about getting it done in time, not right now. - Kevin Marks
not releasing until it was ready - Kevin Marks
It's also part of our time. Hewlett and Packard had just as big an impact, I'd argue, but their impact was in a time before YouTube. Steve Jobs is a world-wide celebrity, arguably the first of Silicon Valley's history. - Robert Scoble
Here is a link to the Tim Berner-Lee post yesterday, about using NeXT to support his development of URIs, HTTP and HTML http://www.w3.org/QA... - r Macdonald
I felt that way when I heard Any Grove had Parkinson's disease. He is a hero to me. - Francine Hardaway
here's the playboy interview: http://www.scribd.com/doc... - Kevin Marks
Thanks Kevin! - Stephen Pickering
what Steve Jobs gave us over the last 10 years will never be repeated - Moe Glitz from iPod
iPod, iTunes, iPhone, App Store, iPad - Moe Glitz from iPod
Well said Steve. Disrupting powerful players and bending them to his will - indeed. - r Macdonald
The French didn't get Steve vision. See their serious newspaper 'Le monde' : http://www.lemonde.fr/societe.... Fundamental difference marked by Americans ! - Guy Vander Heyden
Betters the Beatles years of 62 to 70 - Moe Glitz from iPod
Gentlemen, do you think Tim Cook can bend additional media industries, like TV content and distribution, to Apple's will & new products? - r Macdonald
no - Moe Glitz from iPod
the next Steve Jobs will be a group of people, a braintrust who can work together like great musicians - Tina Chase Gillmor
Well, Tim Cook has $60 billion to push around and he has Steve Jobs' shoes to fill, so he knows that he better do some big things. But, most of my head is saying Moe is right. - Robert Scoble
Little known Steve's support for medical research. Stanford's Joel Dudley convinced Apple to add Ruby and other capabilities http://macresearch.org/about_m... - cliveb
Tina: funny, I wrote just that to someone last night. - Robert Scoble
Tim Cook seems a smart guy but its like replacing Mick Jagger with Kenny Rodgers for the Stones - Moe Glitz from iPod
Robert... great minds....;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
Moe: "replacing Mick Jagger with Kenny Rodgers" ouch - r Macdonald
Danny is right about the carriers. I can't figure out an economical way to upgrade my iPhone. If I switch to Verizon, I can get a phone for $299, and then I have to do something with whatever I left left on my AT&T contract. And it's not unlocked. - Francine Hardaway
android is a knock-off of sidekick, but it got a great browser from Apple - Kevin Marks
I agree - our whole world has changed. - Teri Temme
40 million used to mean something - Tina Chase Gillmor
Jobs was a great and powerful pitchman. He had to pitch his revolutionary trojan horses to folks like printers, cell carriers, record companies, publishers and film and video distributors. Apple will need to replace this facet of his talent. Who will be able to do this at Apple? - Alex de Soto
funny, Tina, I was thinking the same thing. - Karoli
Alex, Apple has other people who do that, but no-one as well. - Kevin Marks
Alex: Kevin is right. Jobs isn't replaceable. But they will find their own voice over the next few years. - Robert Scoble
Robert and Kevin: I really hope you are right. I'm counting on it. - Alex de Soto
Good to have the Onion right now - Francine Hardaway
John Lennon was shot. We knew Steve was ill. Big difference. Still painful. - Alex de Soto
Steve. Another victim of pancreatic cancer. Help out: http://pancan.org/section... - cliveb
Both icons. Apple brothers - Moe Glitz from iPod
12 Apostles. - Alex de Soto
will Apple TV ever take off now - Moe Glitz from iPod
Moe: yes. It's the best way to use AirPlay. Are you throwing away your iPad or iPhones? - Robert Scoble
AppleTV needs to take off before GoogleTV - cliveb
no robert. - Moe Glitz from iPod
Greatest commencement speech ever - Stephen Pickering
Deep link into Steve's 2005 graduation speech segment on on the importance of remembering he will be dead soon http://www.youtube.com/watch... - r Macdonald
Westboro Baptist Church to protest (please puncture their tires) - cliveb
which they announced on their iphones. - Karoli
Protest what? - Francine Hardaway
the Angel technique still works on them. and parody signs. Violence is what they want, then they sue. - Kevin Marks
Westboro are just culture parasites. They attack anything popular so that they can get paid attention to. If we stop paying attention to them they go away. - Robert Scoble
What are they protesting? - Stephen Pickering
Right. Why would they ever protest Jobs' funeral. It's not like he was gay or political - Francine Hardaway
attention whores. that's who they are. - Karoli
Interesting undercurrent to the discussion is the continued fight against the entrenched interests -- carriers, publishers, networks. That's a point of commonality for all us in the tech world. Interoperability will be huge, but it will take huge efforts to bring it about. - Ian McGee
Robert, all of those pieces are teams. I suspect that will be the key to Apple's success. - Karoli
Both Newsweek and Time are having special Tribute issues for Steve. He was a Rock Star - Moe Glitz from iPod
I wonder how many people will use "Cards" to send sympathy messages to Apple once the app is released. When I first heard about "Cards" I immediately thought of Steve Jobs, even though many laughed about this seemingly silly app. - Alex de Soto
Jobs was a critic - Kevin Marks
Someone who gives their life to something - Stephen Pickering
Bezos? - Robert J Taylor
Perfection, Simplicity and Secrecy. - Teri Temme
Bezos is the closest I think - Stephen Pickering
Who insisted on rounded corners for software windows with a radius just so? - Alex de Soto
thanks guys.until next time. - Aron Michalski
Who placed FCC certifications on a cell phone more elegantly than Jobs? - Alex de Soto
alex, steve insisted on round rects: http://folklore.org/StoryVi... - Kevin Marks
Who ignored blu-ray? - Alex de Soto
Bezos is a genius but he doesn't build things of beauty. Want me to pull up the videos about the original Kindle? - Robert Scoble
Bezos and Amazon's driving force is to build things at low cost. That doesn't mean they will bring us beautiful things. - Robert Scoble
Robert but he is similar in that he tries to remove friction from the buying process and make the process fun and beautiful - Stephen Pickering
That just tells you about the importance of beauty, design, and ease of use - Francine Hardaway
Right Kevin :) I could go on with thousands of examples where Jobs made incredibly inspired design decisions. He was more like the old car designers who lovingly thought about every curve on a car. - Alex de Soto
Danny, iTunes was Job's way of keeping us humble. ;-) - Ian McGee
hi Kevin - Tina Chase Gillmor
It could be that iTunes complexity was to try to assure the music industry that their system would be "safe" - as far flung as that might seem - Stephen Pickering
Danny is right. iTunes sucks - Moe Glitz from iPod
Richard Stallman: "I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone." http://bit.ly/n50IWd - cliveb
iTunes needs a rethink. Spotify is that rethink. - Robert Scoble
Ouch. That's tough - Stephen Pickering
Spotify requires a Facebook login. Very short-sighted, and limiting. - Tinfoil 2.0
Nothing wrong with Wordstar key combinations. Now vi -- that's a problem. ;-) - Ian McGee
Richard Stallman is an idiot. - Robert Scoble
iTunes is getting a rethink with iCloud, so sync isn't t required and backup happens - Kevin Marks
What a horrible thing to write. - Robert Scoble
lets hope they kill the bugs - Moe Glitz from iPod
But Stallman is probably autistic. My own son does stuff that's hurtful without realizing it because he just doesn't have the brain for social cues. - Robert Scoble
So, I should be more understanding of Stallman and his condition. - Robert Scoble
I was talking to Rana-June Sobhany about that - iPad as musical instrument - Kevin Marks
Most of the people in the world have Facebook. That actually is a brilliant decision and the Gillmor Gang in 2020 will discuss just how brilliant it was. - Robert Scoble
"Stallman and his condition" well said - cliveb
Reminds me of how Clinton can persuade you even when you disagree - Stephen Pickering
Some have said Steve and Apple didn't "Get social" What do you think? - r Macdonald
I don't think its they didn't get it, they just couldn't do everything - Stephen Pickering
r Macdonald: both true and false. Jobs got how we would talk about his products and made them HYPER conversational. Why else ship an iPod with white headphones? - Robert Scoble
Jobs jettisoned the physical keyboard and need for a stylus on a smartphone. That move alone was brilliant and gutsy. - Alex de Soto
Still waiting for Apple to release their own Mapping Product - Moe Glitz from iPod
it's gonna be a WWSJD world for a while - Tina Chase Gillmor
My question mark is how will Apple do with the Cloud? - Stephen Pickering
Interesting take, Robert. Products that are inherently drivers of social discussion & adoption, but no closed gardens for social interchange. - r Macdonald
Stephen: I do worry about what will happen next week. Hope it goes well. - Alex de Soto

What about the Amazon buying Palm OS from HP rumor. Any teeth to the rumor? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Does Microsoft get royalties on the Fire too? - Alex de Soto
it's all about how far you fold it from your eyes - Kevin Marks
MS will probably ask for licensing. I can't see why not. - Michael Mahemoff
When is Apple TV going to release an app store? That will change everything. - Fraser Cain
Walmart's on a roll with their new lab. They are probably very interested in WebOS. - Michael Mahemoff

If Amazon buys Palm, Android will suffer - Moe Glitz from iPhone
actually there's very little beatles on spotify - Ankush Narula
We're going to have to turn into flies so we can watch so many screens at one time. - Alex de Soto
amazon won't buy palm - Kevin Marks
you got a blind, for one - Jerome Hughes
Spotify only has Beatles covers afaict. Artists "#1 Beatles Now" and "The Ultimate Beatles Cover Band" aren't the Beatles. - Michael Mahemoff
they only have Mozart covers too - Kevin Marks
Kindle has no apps because Amazon was holding off on their platform, waiting for Android. Change again to WebOS and they set the clock back another 18 months. - Michael Mahemoff
More likely Oracle buys Palm for mobile strategy like SAP (funded by Android royalties) - cliveb
Walmart otoh has a blank slate and apparently a mandate for acquisitions. - Michael Mahemoff
The Amazon Android fork already has set them back in time. Will only get worse unless Amazon creates a full OS team to keep their fork relevent. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
a blank slate? is that one with no apps? - Kevin Marks
Is Jeff Bezos trying to be the 'new' Steve Jobs? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Not even a web browser. - Michael Mahemoff
A single SPDY thread, that's why it's called silk (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets...) - Michael Mahemoff
Thanks, Michael! - Robert Scoble
Moe: no, he's trying to keep up with Zuckerberg. - Robert Scoble
Not sure but the Fire seems to have a better form factor for video (widescreen) than the current iPad. - Alex de Soto
they are a shopping company. they want you to shop - Kevin Marks
Fire is 16:9, like most Android tablets, and Mac Laptops - Kevin Marks
and iMacs, come to think of it - Kevin Marks
True Robert. Where is the 'killer guy' from Microsoft - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Alex: agreed. - Robert Scoble
And you can check out Kindle books from some public libraries. - Alex de Soto
Moe: the killer guy at Microsoft is the guy who runs the law department. - Robert Scoble

Moe: agreed. - Robert Scoble

Hi Christian! - Robert Scoble
Who would be stupid enough to invest in bandwidth when the US Gov can make you resell it to competitors at no profit? That's why - Stephen Pickering
Robert, my google plus following has gone nuts. :) Thanks for sharing - Christian Burns
examine some past infrastructure you know well in the present... http://www.historicaerials.com/ - Jerome Hughes
bollocks, Stephen. structural separation works - Kevin Marks
better late than never. - Aron Michalski
Bollocks, Kevin, there's no free market in communications. That's why we don' t have fiber connections at competitive prices - Stephen Pickering
infrastructure evolves based on demand which also evolves - Jerome Hughes
we have the worst of both worlds - local monopolies with no structural separation - Kevin Marks
Through Motorola, Google will copy Apple by opening Google Stores, selling Google Phones, Tablets, Netbooks, TV's and everything Android - Moe Glitz from iPhone
how about duct neutrality? - Kevin Marks
I have dark fiber going by my house, if only I could tap it. - Christian Burns

From the Amazon website: "Your Favorite Apps and Games... Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies, The Weather Channel and more, plus a great paid app for free every day. All apps are Amazon-tested on Kindle Fire for the best experience possible." - Alex de Soto

amarquart: exactly. It's far less interesting. - Robert Scoble
BECAUSE of the Amazon. - Robert Scoble
I should give it back - Kevin Marks
One thing Rim does is product placement. Seems like every new movie and tv show the actors are using a Blackberry. Won't HTML5 help Rim hang on? - Stephen Pickering
those Android IDEOS phones that Huawei's been selling like hotcakes in Kenya is probably optimized for long battery life - Da
and minis (or at least the OS) ~ a good friend in that space says the best thing ever to happen to RIM is iPhone - Jerome Hughes
Blackberry haz cheaper data plans (x3 texting kids mks difference) - cliveb
I had to use a blackberry in London. Yuck. I hated it! - Tina Chase Gillmor
Android is diversifying into all the phone niches - Huawei are replacing the feature phone niche that Nokia thought they owned - Kevin Marks

Most of the tablets I saw when I was in the Philippines in May were Samsung Galaxy 7's - Da
Microsoft has an Asshole - Moe Glitz from iPhone
popular isn't the same as ubiquitous - Kevin Marks
Microsoft has it's relationship with Facebook? No? - Stephen Pickering
True Kevin... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Balmer is going to try to buy their way in. And that is why it will fail. stigma - amarquart
Facebook's Project Spartan would be big on feature phones - Da
At least Microsoft has Skype - Moe Glitz from iPhone
facebook zero was aimed at that maket - Kevin Marks
Scobleizer for nobel prize in black holes! - cliveb
Just hope Robert doesn't disappear down one - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Microsoft will distribute through Facebook - Stephen Pickering
MS has Bing! and XBox. A relationship w/Facebook, Skype. Hate to say it, but they will have a conduit into the black holes. - Alex de Soto

Ballmer doesn't get the Web, especially Social - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Kred==PeopleBrowsr's product - Michael Mahemoff

his Klout score is zero but he's in everyone's circle, he's the most interesting man in the world - Da
washington general motors - Jerome Hughes
follower spam! not a fan of sharing G+ circle - cliveb
If the iCloud goes social by allowing all iOS users to share their photos, music and other forms of media. Couldn't Apple be a Social Player - Moe Glitz from iPhone
perhaps - Jerome Hughes
apple's ping should approach google to be their spotify/fb - mal
that would be a nice improvement on Ping - Da
Primordial Ooze (social gone dark) - cliveb
I'm oozing that comment (like plus 1...) - Aron Michalski
ping will be subsumed in twitter - Kevin Marks
but is Apple really into social? - Da
what does he do about those who abstain? - Jerome Hughes
and maybe i wont have to watch ads for domestic beer - mal
Imagine if they could track things that don't involve sitting around in front of a screen... - Aron Michalski
mal - by any chance do you need a truck? - Jerome Hughes
Social is about people with credit cards - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Rather to think about Facebook aggregating yet more content. Of course, it's the Zuckerberg dream come true. - Michael Krigsman
Here's an interesting Google+ related site that aggregates my content -- https://www.foldedsoft.at/+... - Susan Beebe
Tera Nova is not bad lol - Susan Beebe
Terra Novacaine - Stephen Pickering
Hah. - Robert Scoble
Pike Kilt Lifter sure beats Budweiser - cliveb

RIP Tevatron … bit.ly/o2zzwC - Jerome Hughes
Anyone like The X Factor - Moe Glitz from iPhone
I helped a friend with a problem (how would that effect my score if I didn't send them a promoted link?) - Aron Michalski
Everyone wants to collect your most personal details with intimate fidelity, to sell more and more shit you don't really need << bad mood about this today. - Michael Krigsman

great shot of Steve chuckling, Tina! - Jerome Hughes

when we're all in the Matrix - Da
Will you guys talk about the greatness of HP and Oracle, or did I miss that part yet :-) - Michael Krigsman

Steve Gillmor
Gillmor Gang, recording live today 1pm PST participate at http://www.building43.com/realtim...
hello there - Kevin Marks
Hang on Kevin. We're about to get you connected but maybe a 5 min delay - Tina Chase Gillmor
Those Facebook Video's yesterday were so cheesy! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Google+ went open earlier this week, but after what Facebook showed yesterday it may as well get closed! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
when will the show start? - nchenga
shortly. - Robert Scoble
Sorry for the problems, they are my fault. I'm at Smash Summit and had some technical problems getting online. - Robert Scoble
Steve, I'm on Skype waiting for your call. - Robert Scoble
Howdy! - Nir Ben Yona
unpaid bloggers - it's because of, not with as Doc searls says - Kevin Marks
Where does this leave Google+? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Honestly, I have never seen Mark Zuckerberg being so natural, real and beautifully open! - Nir Ben Yona
And his goofy nervous laugh - Mark Vaske
Facebook is turning into the iPhone? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Moe: Google+ is Google's "bet the company" reaction to Zuckerberg's strategy. - Robert Scoble
Robert. Will be very difficult for Google to break Facebook's hold on the Social Graph - Moe Glitz from iPhone
What about all of the pissed off users? I guess they'll adapt. - Alex de Soto
Moe is right, unless Google acts very very swiftly. Otherwise it becomes something else. - Mark Vaske
you can see what I read through the fb ux; I don't generally read the wapo as it's paywall is too cumbersome - Kevin Marks
Google may have to buy Twitter and morp elements of Google+ inside it, to have any chance in Social - Moe Glitz from iPhone
thats the one Alex - Kevin Marks
the other thing, as Zuck touted endlessly yesterday, everything now just happens serendipitously. - Mark Vaske
Interesting article: http://venturebeat.com/2011... - Darren
serendipity doo dah. - Kevin Marks
Pissed off users have no other major service to go to (Twitter doesn't count). Google+ isn't offering users anything distinct from Facebook. Same behemoth data-mining and monetizing our personal data attached to our real world identities. - Tinfoil 2.0
Does someone have the link to Dan's post? - Tina Chase Gillmor
The alternative is to put NO data out there.. :) - Kevin Costain
Farhad Manjoo had a good point about sharing http://www.slate.com/...& - Kevin Marks
do we really want a fragmented web identity spread throughout the web, or do we want a centralized location someone can go to figure out who we are with the external apps we use, that push into facebook? - Mark Vaske
we want both - Kevin Marks
I'm seeing allot of people on Facebook with this status: Please do me a favour and move your mouse over my name here, wait for the box to load and then move your mouse over the "Subscribe" link. Then uncheck the "Comments and Likes". I would really rather that my comments on friends and families posts not be made public. Then re-post this if you don't want your every single move posted on the right side in the "Ticker Box" for everyone to see. - Kevin Costain
I'm wondering also - if there is somewhere in Facebook that we could see our own ticker? - Kevin Costain
Yep - we're are not people - we are dollar signs ... peachy - Xenophrenia
Facebook now combines all your activity in a category and shows, I like these videos or this music, even though you are using 8 different services for each. - Mark Vaske
There are many privacy issues concerning the direction that Facebook is trying to take. But to make people happily join this 'fun ride' the Zuck makes jokes with SNL buddies to sell this - Moe Glitz from iPhone
do those end up accessible by the graph API? - Kevin Marks
Facebook is a homage to the almighty dollar ... and we have all lain ourselves out prone praising the loss of human by hailing the wonder of how we can be sold ... Facebook is the pimp - Xenophrenia
http://j.mp/disruptFlix was my take on this - Kevin Marks
Thats ridiculous to say. It is a service that provides a communication tool. You can see it as us all becoming narcissists but thats only if you use the tool that way. - Mark Vaske
Facebook is the pimp whoring our humanity to the advertising johns ... - Xenophrenia
The speed of the networks is what is killing DVDs. - Alex de Soto
Next gone the 2 party political system - cliveb
I still think there's no replacement to DVD when it comes to music shows (DTS quality and that kind of stuff). - Nir Ben Yona
Marketing, marketing, marketing - Stephen Pickering
I posted to Facebook I was at Guitar Center and when I got home there were adverts for guitars on my page - Stephen Pickering
Because money is all that matters - Xenophrenia
Google does the same thing with email - Mark Vaske
It's attention.. catching attention and gaining the attention of an increasingly fragmented and busy population. - Kevin Costain
who's going to fave tide? - Kevin Marks
tide, dawn, soft soap - Mark Vaske
I feel like we are in the chapel with the dollar sign on the altar and Robert is the preacher - Xenophrenia
FB will have the brand ads and Google will keep the cash flow ads, and naturally both are growing tremendously as the media moves to the web - Stephen Pickering
Money doesn't have to have a bad connotation, if it's exchanged for actual value - Stephen Pickering
I'm a sucker for Method detergent. 4 pumps and you're done! - Alex de Soto
The ticker is genius - Mark Vaske
Stephen - that's why the actual saying it that it's the love of money that's the root of all evil - not money itself - Xenophrenia
Money is a clear driving force. As such, I think it's a moot point. If you don't like it - there must be an empty cabin somewhere in the woods of B.C. - Kevin Costain
If Facebook can get the Bank Account details of their Members then that will be a big deal - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Kevin is battling a bug that wants to eat him! - Tina Chase Gillmor
money is NOT the primary motivating force for humans ... sorry ... study after study has shown that ... - Xenophrenia
But, as Leo points out Robert, Facebook is becoming increasingly complex to use and understand - Stephen Pickering
What's the Ticker? - Stephen Pickering
@Xenophrenia - I'm speaking of what's driving companies such as Facebook.. not humans in particular.. - Kevin Costain
Robert is smashed, rather at Smash. - Alex de Soto
that fly is very annoying - Kevin Marks
Facebook is apparently doing a major deal with PayPal very soon - Moe Glitz from iPhone
the ticker is the new recent news system on facebook that is all encompassing and a live stream much like twitter. The homepage is now based on the top stories relevant to you filtered by close friends - Mark Vaske
Kevin Costain - then was the cabin in the woods addition to the comment? ;-) - Xenophrenia
But a Twitter only comes around once in a Career - Stephen Pickering
Kevin - get a baseball bat and whack that sucker - Tina Chase Gillmor
Moe: Will PayPal handle Facebook currency? - Alex de Soto
I should plug the bug zapper in - Kevin Marks
FB is making deals with everyone. - Phil Ashman
Alex- That could well be the case - Moe Glitz from iPhone
@Xenophrenia - my edit was to correct my crappy spelling.. the cabin in the woods was the fun part of my comment.. haha... - Kevin Costain
Glam+Ning too, potentially - Kevin Marks
Tumblr's on a tear - cliveb
The Communications Revolution is on a tear - Stephen Pickering
Wonder how Apple is taking all of this. Could their iTunes and App Store suffer? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Apple is betting on twitter as their social bus - Kevin Marks
Especially if Facebook has a payment system in place - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Hi. Is there video up, or is that just my gremlin? - Hilary Talbot
WOuld anyone here invest in Pandora? Or will Spotify and iCloud defeat them? - Stephen Pickering
I don't feel that Facebook's Ticker and Timeline features are necessarily revolutionary. Both these things are ways of organizing and presenting data Facebook already has. - Kevin Costain
Very true Kevin - Moe Glitz from iPhone
@Stephen - for sure, I would stay away from Pandora.. :) - Kevin Costain
It'll be interesting to watch how Netflix fare as the incumbents and content distributors continue to pull their catalogues from netflix. Just read about the possible Blockbuster/Dish streaming service. - Phil Ashman
OK, I noticed their stock getting ripped and was wondering if it was worth dipping my toe in. I enjoy the service myself - Stephen Pickering
Phil Yeah I saw that report too today on CNBC - Stephen Pickering
I think the biggest shift in FB's paradigm is the subscription vs friends. How they transition that could be very important - Mark Vaske
So will public posts on FB be searchable by Google? - Stephen Pickering
What strategy has Microsoft got. They may have a small stake in Facebook but their Roadmap is stuck in traffic - Moe Glitz from iPhone
@mark - I would not be surprised to see the future Facebook allows users to create profiles that can ONLY be subscribed too in an easy way. - Kevin Costain
Funny how they ended up using the same terminology (subscribe) as Friendfeed...I wonder why.....LOL - Phil Ashman
No mention of your London trip Robert, or even iPhone 4S launch date! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
@kevin friend requests now default as a subscription, and de-friending still leaves that friend as a subscriber unless explicitly blocked. So in some ways it already is a simple default model. - Mark Vaske
I like Zoë Keating's 'more than just crunchy water' worldview http://bit.ly/o3kKcS - Kevin Marks
New ways of organizing/presenting can be revolutionary. Google's pagerank was just a new way of organizing/presenting info the WWW already had. - Bruce Lewis
I never thought the venerable HP would go down like this - Stephen Pickering
@mark - indeed, i see the separation of "friend" and "subscribe" as a way for Facebook to create these sort fo Page-ish types of profiles (possibly for brands and celebrities?) that can only be followed (a la twitter). - Kevin Costain
it solves the 5000 followers only problem - Kevin Marks
@both kevins. Indeed, it could threaten twitter. Robert wrote a good article about friends and aquintences, but he didnt mention what subscribers meant and its really booming. Google+ ers are now enabling subscriptions on facebook and there is a slight shift in that direction. - Mark Vaske
Google has all the pieces to the puzzle, whereas the other players don't - Stephen Pickering
YouTube is google's ace in the hole - the hangouts/youtube integration is going to be interesting - Kevin Marks
@Stephen - I think your right. Facebook as all the eyeballs though. :) - Kevin Costain
@stephen - they have all the pieces all in separate places, un-unified. Facebook has brought much of that together with apps. - Mark Vaske
They seem unified to me in my Google account and even in mobile all your info immediately syncs over the air - Stephen Pickering
I have to run folks.. thanks for a great show. Have a wonderful weekend. - Kevin Costain
Google doesn't have Social Business. This will be a Goldmine that can swamp all forms of online advertising - Moe Glitz from iPhone
@stephen but there isnt a great way to share it, unless its done manually. - Mark Vaske
Well all their products just constantly blow me away, translation, maps, Youtube now has cloud editing, they are the new "Cloud" operating system - Stephen Pickering
@ stephen - I agree, but they need to unify them. I think that is why robert has "bet his career on it, but they do need to move if they want the users. - Mark Vaske
Steve Gillmor
Gillmor Gang, recording live today 1pm PST participate at http://www.building43.com/realtim...

State of the twunion? - Kevin Marks
hello!! - Tina Chase Gillmor
44% of the active users are inactive? - Kevin Marks
lurkers evolve into users - Jerome Hughes
or urkers, drop the L... - Aron Michalski
Ex-radio listeners have become Twitter lurkers, no? - Alex de Soto
An "edge case"? - Brian Sullivan

It's becoming so spammy too, almost Myspace spammy - Stephen Pickering
tune out some noise - Jerome Hughes
the other is if a keyword is sniffed I get 5 more spambot follows and misdirects. - Aron Michalski
Robert, is Foursquare boring? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
thats atypical for the average g+ user. FB still dominates average user conversation. - Mark Vaske
Conversations with brands work on Twitter, Especially with customer service folks. - Alex de Soto
it was actually a typo; Bantams are dead, he had chicken for lunch. - Aron Michalski
definitely great for contacting developers - Mark Vaske
Robert likes Planes rather than Buses! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Scoble reminds me of this old Dvorak column about blogging: http://www.pcmag.com/article... - Kevin Marks
Scoble looks like he's in a Peter Gabriel video... - Aron Michalski
people use twitter, people don't use google+ - Mark Vaske
G+ devrel advice set up a circle just for Scoble (only go when u hv time) - cliveb
Zuckerberg on G+ follows Marks's law of twitter: if you tweet you lose followers; if you're retweeted you gain followers. By not posting, no-one unfollows Zuck - Kevin Marks
Not posting public and not posting aren't the same thing. It's possible Zuckerberg has posted, just not publicly. - James Williams
What Google is doing is building a cloud operating system, and the value proposition is the integration of all the parts, with a Social Network being just one part - Stephen Pickering
Counting only posts is not the same as counting all interaction. - James Williams
Peter Norvig's researchers and machine learning are all over G+ - cliveb
Posts + comments should be used as a measure against tweets - Brian Sullivan
true, James. - Kevin Marks
but unless google releases figures like twitter just did, that would be hard to compare - Kevin Marks
any thoughts about the WSJ article on Zynga? "We're an analytics company masquerading as a gaming company." Different goal makes for different business plan? - Aron Michalski
you can spark it... - Mark Vaske
I'm on - Keith Teare
A tweet can be original content or a reply. Until we count posts and +1's and comments, we won't have an accurate number. +1 Brian - James Williams
Google + might just be a placeholder. - Aron Michalski

Is there anything else? ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
Gray, our studio cat is already complaining. He knows a show is about to happen and HE's NOT HAPPY. - Tina Chase Gillmor
Where is the Gillmor Gang chat? - Doug Ellis
this is the Gillmor Gang chat... but show hasn't started yet - Tina Chase Gillmor
I have a new Google+ feature (suggested user list, just turned on) to discuss. - Robert Scoble
Tina - can you post here as the show begins? - Ankush Narula from iPhone
show has begun - Christopher Harris
You are in color for us - Doug Ellis
Doug: well that's good. - Robert Scoble
Metallica doesn't suit Steve - Francine Hardaway
I bet he said no - Francine Hardaway
I thought you couldn't have a brand on + yet - Francine Hardaway
where can I find this list? - Christopher Harris
THen I must be on the SUL - Francine Hardaway
I post Madonna's tweets - Francine Hardaway
hi kids - Aron Michalski
Hi Aronski - Francine Hardaway
What a de-motivator distribution seems to be - Francine Hardaway
Yay - discussion of the Google+ default list - YAY! - Allen Stern
hey Aron - Tina Chase Gillmor
Hi Tina! - Aron Michalski
I figured it would take 3-6 months for a default list - but they did it even sooner! The problem is that celebs have no desire to interact with normals. Twitter allows them to spread the message with just talking to, here they want you to talk with - that won't work. But what the freak do I know, I don't have 100,000 followers so my thoughts are useless apparently. - Allen Stern
You are right, Allen - Francine Hardaway
G+ over-weighting, very astute - cliveb
Allen: they needed to change their suggestions. Telling me to follow Mark Zuckerberg, who has never posted, is funny but really bad for new users to the service. - Robert Scoble
hm, Kevin Rose's google plus page is result 2 for 'kevin' now (in an incognito window) - Kevin Marks
G+ integration with Google Apps - Ankush Narula
i find google+ a hassle to set-up let alone engage with. - Gregg
Robert - why in the heck do you think Cashmore and Zee fought to keep his account on google+ - because they needs it for the seo juice. - Allen Stern
Twiiter still go to communications medium for mois.... - Gregg
G+ for Apps = Chatter - Ankush Narula
My corp doesn't use Salesforce - we are using G+ though for internal sharing... - Max Headroom

0.2c Developer community: SFDC attracts older developers, GOOG younger. Late middle still MSFT, Energetic Devs doing consumer web startups - cliveb
considering how much scoble loves google+, it's odd that this chat is still on ff - Allen Stern
Tina: because finding people interesting to you is VERY difficult on Google+. - Robert Scoble
Apple is a business disruptor - not a business partner. Salesforce, Google, etc don't have the same latitude. - Ankush Narula
Allen: that's because it's hard to embed Google+ in web pages. - Robert Scoble
and yet - my first time back in months on ff and i can see how much better this still is than google+. - Allen Stern
tahnks scoble - Allen Stern
Exactly, Kevin nailed it - cliveb

My Droid just updated to Gingerbread, finally. Maybe that Motorola purchase has legs - Kevin Marks
Gingerbread? is it a food theme or a fairytail one? - Tina Chase Gillmor
all the UX changed... - Kevin Marks
oh and btw - i predict 60 days and google+ will have aggregation too. - Allen Stern
fun fact; the bit of Moto that makes set top boxes was once an independent company called General Instruments. Donald Rumsfeld was CEO at one point. - Michael Markman
Kevin - self mute if you can. its better that way if you control - Tina Chase Gillmor
As long as Android app revenues are lower than iOS app revenues - Android vs iOS comparisons are moot. iOS hardware profits are the bulk of smartphone profits. - Ankush Narula
I am now, Tina, sorry - Kevin Marks
the crane is getting further away - Kevin Marks
Gingerbread, mango, what's up with all the sweet food names? I guess those big Apple cats aren't interested in desserts. - Alex de Soto
tina, in either case, who is the fox? :) - Hilary Talbot

I'm still blocked - after a year :-\ - Ankush Narula
who's got a good source or blog post to recap this discussion about arrington & tech crunch issue. - Gregg
ahhh... well, Winer has had Steve blocked for years. Not sure about their "buddy" status - Tina Chase Gillmor
heh - didn't realize that - Ankush Narula
shame to see mike no longer part of Disrupt, i take thats no longer his baby now - Dan Rockwell
Did anyone catch a glimse of Steve's GG mug? - Tina Chase Gillmor

a "bad" word? Are there any "bad" wordsreally? - Tina Chase Gillmor
behind the media editorial curtain.. nice, ok so its a sham, got it, next - Dan Rockwell

oh, Steve Gillmor made TC switch to Facebook comments? - Vezquex
Major old journalism v new journalism rant - Francine Hardaway
They're lucky Arrington didn't leave completely. They probably became part of his fund to keep him. - Francine Hardaway
Almost every founder I know who sells his company leaves after a year - Francine Hardaway

Francine - no not for support. They are available for fans just for fun! - Tina Chase Gillmor
It's already not interesting to listen to. - Michael Markman
and audible - Max Headroom

Give the guy some peace. Just leave him alone. - coldbrew
exactly right. The wording of that announcement was ominous. - Karoli
I just looked at the picture on TMZ. - Francine Hardaway
Correct, Robert. - Francine Hardaway
You need to reexamine your principles if you ever let you browser go to TMZ. - coldbrew
That is appalling. - coldbrew
It's appalling that they put those up - Francine Hardaway
yeah - Jamie
tmz is a click-whore operation. they're going to make money off train-wreck viewers. - Karoli
I'm more interested in the new apple campus they are building. - coldbrew
Apple Campus? - Colleen from iPhone

Steve is right the commencement speech was 2005 - Tina Chase Gillmor

Oh, so right DOC!!!!!!! - Francine Hardaway
what Jobs is great at is making the mundane into magic. - Karoli
Hardaway: 6 exclamation points? - coldbrew
Why did he get so dang sick in the first place? He's too young. However, people do retire as they approach 60. Could he just be ready to work on the UFO? - Colleen from iPhone

Apple Removes 99-Cent TV Show Rentals from iTunes Store and Apple TV - http://bit.ly/oA8gzI - Ankush Narula

@coldbrew Francine sometimes takes cues from her dog Buppy, who wags his tail with seven exclamation points. - Karoli

Like Apple being kind of "too big to fail" - the currency of IT universe? - #Robert Redl
We can still use load balancers on AWS but our app servers will be on-premise. - coldbrew

Steve presents Cupertino Council http://youtu.be/gtuz5Om... - cliveb
Sometimes I'm scared for Scoble for saying the things he does, but what he says is quite interesting. - coldbrew
The rationale is psychological..."we have to be in the tablet business...it's growing too fast for us to miss out..." Not sound, but understandable. - Tom Guarriello
OS protection....The more people use IOS devices, the more irrelevant the others become. - Karoli
anyone remember the HP iPod? - Kevin Marks
fast following is easier - cliveb
yeah the blue ipod - Ankush Narula
the jailbrake community is quite strong. - coldbrew
Cliveb: exactly. - Robert Scoble
"It takes more time to make a fake" but they are all rushing these products - Mark Vaske
Steve Ballmer told everyone that a HP Windows Slate would be out soon. That quote came 3 weeks before Steve Jobs showed the iPad. - Moe Glitz from iPhone
HP had a bigger vision than copying the iPad - webOS was meant to be used across many products and form factors - Ankush Narula
The iphone was definitely a life saver during my last European trip. Great GPS, awesome camera, amazing communication with friends from all over the world and the Time Out app was brilliant. - Nir Ben Yona
It hasn't happened because the Android OS doesn't seem to perform consistently across devices - Ankush Narula

App Switching != Multitasking - Ankush Narula
iOS has very broken multitasking - Kevin Marks
the onion article is a brilliant poke at hp. - Mark Vaske
Kevin: I disagree that it's broken - it's "managed multitasking" - Ankush Narula
nice analogy kevin! - Mark Vaske
very nice analogy - Tom Guarriello
The ADHD in me appreciates being forced to stop multitasking. - Karoli

I can produce the show, switch shots and chat at once! well.... sort of... - Tina Chase Gillmor
Yes the brain can only do one thing at a time (generally) but the brain does it much faster than a computer. The computer has to be able to multitask in order to keep up with the brain - Eric de Oude
@francine - I doubt steve g is doing much dev stuff either, but that doesnt mean you cant get in it. Its $100 - Mark Vaske
Multitasking over rated, talking on cell phones, watch drivers - cliveb

My kids: Who watches TV on a television? :) - Karoli
cliveb: Who do you use for VOIP? I pay $18/ yr for the ph number, and ~$0.008/ min (and $0.03 in expensive places)? - coldbrew

@robert - does twitter integration stretch farther into tv as it has on iOS and Mac? - Mark Vaske

with tt, you're sharing another activity while conversing about it - Jerome Hughes

Would everyone be excited if Microsoft came up with the + service first. Microsoft+ - Moe Glitz from iPhone
im not super interested in Plus yet - Tina Chase Gillmor
Glitz: If I got to buy it and install it on my machine? Yes. - coldbrew
Not G+ adding Scobleizer or Zuck (don't want my stream swamped) - cliveb
Check out this chart from NYT... feel bad for any tablet not IOS https://images1-focus-opensoci... - Jerry Schuman
is youtube in hangouts somewhat like the group experience in tt though for a smaller group? - Jerome Hughes

FB Messages unifies e-mail, IM, SMS, and proprietary FB messaging - pretty smart. Wait until they integrate that with Skype - Ankush Narula

google dosent need to make money with plus cos plus makes search better & search makes a lot of money - Abhijeet Desai

Exactly! Turntable knows an API helps make the community - David Ashwood
a turntable listen+chat app on phones would be great - Kevin Marks
But the team thinks RIM is dead - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Moe: I disagree. Most teens I know like iPhone or iPod touch better. - Robert Scoble
depends on which dead you mean - Jerome Hughes
and kodak? - Jerome Hughes
Correct Robert. But teens that can't afford those two, always use RIM - Moe Glitz from iPhone
RIM is a popular 2nd phone - Moe Glitz from iPhone
"Good, better, best” {Android, WP, iOS} Low cost, best tools, premium. - cliveb

Moto will be NFC for consumers & merchants & to push the Android hardware to the next gen - David Ashwood

Interesting breaking: Apple seeking injunction against most Samsung Android phones and tablets zd.net/qrOrti - Charlie Isaacs
Nice. Sounds interesting to me. - coldbrew
Ankush: and Photobucket's CEO says Android is growing like a week. iOS is growing healthily. RIM? Headed down in usage. I don't see any way it gets out of this death spiral. - Robert Scoble
It's what will bring Google wallet to the masses. NFC is a great idea - but it takes an age for the hardware to catch up. Moto shortcuts that problem - David Ashwood
Maybe we will see a Vivotech acquisition. - coldbrew
Exactly - carriers are one of the prime lags ;) - David Ashwood
Robert: pretend most people don't run apps on their Blackberries - they use e-mail, SMS, BBM, web and maybe a few choice apps - Ankush Narula
Carriers will be the backbone of wifi - virtual wifi providers like Fon will spring up - but carriers are still trying to understand what that means. Remember they don't want to be just a pipe - David Ashwood
50% globally is Android at the mo - David Ashwood
will they get the profit? - Jerome Hughes
Turntable FM. (No Static At All) - Moe Glitz from iPhone
They should rename Netflix to MadMenTV just for Steve ;-) - Ankush Narula

Aye Kevin - but from an App provider/integration perspective - could you put the same content on iCloud and iGoogle? - David Ashwood
a great thing that didn't survive... Sunday Night... http://www.metafilter.com/64744... - Jerome Hughes
I've been watching season one of MadMen - Kevin Marks

For everyone here that believes RIM is dead, BBM is the major 'killer app' in the UK for posting Activity Streams - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Gotta figure out where that scrape occurs... - Aron Michalski
Almost 90% of teenagers use BBM - Moe Glitz from iPhone
Tina -- I think xfinity was jealous of my 4G speeds and something was lost. I'll be lurking here on FF. - John Taschek
BBM; Anarchy in the UK song in new ad... - Aron Michalski
False. Teens love the apps, which you can only get on iOS or Android. - Vezquex
This Social Unrest in the UK will hit the USA very soon? - Moe Glitz from iPhone
It's all about control, no? - Kevin Costain
BBM network is fast, realtime and avoids the cloud. - Aron Michalski
BBM is like a drug in London - Moe Glitz from iPhone
http://action.openrightsgroup.org/ea-acti... petition against twitter blocking - Kevin Marks
For many years it was the absolute best way to communicate in realtime internationally without additional charges. - Aron Michalski
So crazy to be frightened of the medium. Was it Doc Searls who talked about the silliness of considering monetizing your front porch? Same thing. Blame the front porch if someone is conspiring on it. - Amyloo
they will create chaos here if they cut communications off when they think they should. what? - Tina Chase Gillmor
An API for Google Maps that shows zombies where the riots are occurring? - Aron Michalski

no, but it will be streamed live! - Laura Norvig
RIM could work the anti-establishment angle for marketshare ;-) - Aron Michalski
But now if you close the cell network, the info is delayed and the realtime nature avoids the momentum. - Aron Michalski
Mobile and Internet Technology came from the Military. They gave it to us, to use it against us in the future - Moe Glitz from iPhone
your quote information has been delayed by 20 minutes - Jerome Hughes
so you set up cell scramblers for the mob frequency, the fuzz uses the upper freqs. - Aron Michalski
Then, as is being mentioned, triangulate and use the cell phones as homing beacons. - Aron Michalski
that's a scary thought, aron. we're lambs. - Amyloo
Most criminals today are caught by their digital DNA - Moe Glitz from iPhone
they don't need to install chips under our skin; we're holding them to the sides of our heads. - Aron Michalski

I just realized Robert has been talking about filtering for years. I think he's a closet librarian. - Laura Norvig

Klout shout give points for shutting up. Our fearless leader often says that what is not said can be more important. - Aron Michalski
Robert only cares about filtering because he has a million friends. Under 1000, who cares? - Vezquex
Scoble is a hoarder. It's an interesting realm to be in, data hoarding but it's not for everyone. Or for that matter, most any individual other than Scoble. - Aron Michalski
surely K counts babbling against you, etc. - Jerome Hughes
not you specifically, Aron :D - Jerome Hughes
He doesn't have access to my stream, as he stated a while back that he doesn't care. He lost my vote and access to my data. - Aron Michalski

well, scoble follows a lto fo people he doesn't know - Kevin Marks
No different than any message on Facebook "I can't believe I can see who's looking at my profile". - Darren
it's from people you follow - Kevin Marks
"Did you really say this about me? one of your followers sent me this" - Jerome Hughes
"One of my followers is saying really bad things about you heres the profile" - Jerome Hughes
I guess it's a disadvantage to those with tens of thousands of people in their circle. - Aron Michalski
Steve, they've provided 80% of what they're offering in the streaming APIs for the last 2 years. - Darren
or 5k they manage - interesting how many turn out to be actual and hoodwinked instead of calculating - Jerome Hughes

Try talking to one person about one thing that actually matters. - Aron Michalski

Gruber's pretty much a Google-hater - it gives him better access inside Apple - Ankush Narula
the battery makes a big difference. - Aron Michalski
I just copied and pasted Gruber's actual quote: "Google seems to feel entitled to copy whatever it wants. Android copies the UI from the iPhone. Places copied data from Yelp. Google+ copies from Facebook. Their coupon thing is a clone of Groupon. And yet it’s Google that acts as though it has been offended when these competitors fight back." - Alex de Soto

Music culture is Dead! - Moe Glitz from iPhone
for now seems Spotify is social async, #TT is social realtime - Jerome Hughes
