I just put up a 3D video of 3D manfacturing at the World Economic Forum: https://plus.google.com/1110910...
- Robert Scoble
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

- Kevin Marks
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

- 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
the online experience was very nice
- Stephen M
Superbowl is tiny compared to the World cup final
- Kevin Marks

- Kevin Marks
Why don't they use the chat room that is attached to Ustream?

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

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...
Ashish, Kevin Mohr, ethan meccage and 50 other people liked this
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.

Itai: nope, thanks.

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)

"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...

Nice! Friends, please send me recommendations :)

Excellent feature, gooood idea!

Very cool =)

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?

- 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. :-)

- 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

AirPlay needs to be explained better, good point.

AirPlay needs to be accessible from the Mac Pro

Directv has twitter and facebook integrated into their guide
- Stephen M
:) but are they connected? lol
- Susan Beebe
i tried it once, and i annoyed the other people watching tv with me
- Stephen M
right stephen, more than one screen is important
- Kevin Marks
what about ubuntu tv?
- Alex Williams
when Scrabble did the 'iPad for the board and iphones for the tiles" thing, it was funny, but the idea of shared plus private is important
- Kevin Marks
there is talk about ubuntu tv getting launched at ces. can it make a play?
- Alex Williams
Ubuntu? u mean linux? the OS widely known for their outstanding UI?
- Stephen M
XBOX 360 with one of the LIve TV partners is a great way to watch TV.. you just talk to it
- Stephen M
Unity is the Ubuntu UI - hated by the faithful meant for the masses.
- Alex Williams
My 70 year old mom loves her ViZio with the built in Netflix..she doesn't have to switch inputs, just just presses the Netflix button on the remote
- Stephen M
did you see the Doctor Who Literal Video of Total Eclipse of the Heart?
- Kevin Marks
And this 70 year old mom likes her AppleTV with the built in Netflix. She has trained herself (pant pant) to switch inputs. Could it be easier, I suppose. Is it great as it is, Yes.
- Francine Hardaway
Just "tuning" in and yay, sounds like this Gang is another TV show. I like those.
- Amyloo
ooooo, Kevin schooled Steve in vocabulary today. Interesting
- Tina Chase Gillmor
hey Amy!
- Hilary Talbot
I'm not sure I want everything on one screen. I like having two screens: the iPad, the TV.
- Francine Hardaway
I don't mind 'pressing input"... thats why i hooked up a HTPC to my TV... Windows Media Center is nice

I finally have audio-only feed, hi everyone! Happy New Year from Kaula Lumpur (for this week). Am hearing a lot of talk about TV...the reason I go online is to get away from TV. Oh the irony. :)
- Charlie Isaacs
Recording industry dismisses alternate SOPA like bill proposed by Issa and Wyden http://bit.ly/AnOpLx
- Stephen M
Oh, you are just being an Angry Elf complaining about Elf availability :)
- Charlie Isaacs
I remember the BSA. I thought it was BS with very little A
- Francine Hardaway
Good question, Steve. How will SOPA affect how enterprise uses social tech?
- Alex Williams
isn't apple a part of BSA too?

- Stephen M
Will there ever be an Android phone that doesn't have crappy battery life?
- Kevin Costain
a really big one
- Kevin Marks

- Susan Beebe
does the galaxy nexus run on a qualcomm chip(Snapdragon)?

snapdragons seem to have better battery life.
- Stephen M
My Nexus S's battery life is crappppy

My HTC Titan's battery goes all day with heavy use

AT&T LTE is excellent..if anyone wants to know
- Stephen M
Well, that was short (for me).. thanks everyone.. :)
- Kevin Costain
true that.. my eVO would only last a few hours
- Stephen M
i do miss the unlimited data tho :(
- Stephen M
What's the practical battery limit (normal to heavy use) of an iPhone 4S?
- Kevin Costain
bye
- Stephen M
CDMA or GSM? i think that makes a difference too
- Stephen M
I would be using GSM typically.. there are bunch of factors anyway right.. wifi, bluetooth..
- Kevin Costain
I CDMA

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

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

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

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 ! :-)

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.

- 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
LOL
- Rocky Barbanica
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
please help me get this out there http://www.creativeartscharter.org/news...

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

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

if Apple does a HDTV, I hope it's a Quad-HD 2160p 55" for less than $2000

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

Game of Thrones.. meh... Sean Bean can only play 'Sean Bean'.
- kosso
I typed Spooks
- Kevin Marks

I gather the word 'spooks' has different, non-politically-correct connotations in the USA ;)

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
Or NameCheap #shamelessfan
- Michael Mahemoff
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

Maybe the content intermediaries don't want to loose their grip on the multi-trillion dollar content/influence industries

Instead of SOPA our esteemed leadership should take out the evil Patent Trolls

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".

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...

everyone in Paris is getting a gigabit/s to the home, they are pulling cables through the Paris sewer system

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

Scoble has an OC192 coming into his house

I think you should end the show NOW !!

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.

that would be amazing, Laura; or at least do one Gillmor Gang and one News Gang

Once a week, sorry. But sometimes we delay a show until Monday.

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.

OneNote, SkyDrive, Kinectimals for iOS... all rehearsals for a Microsoft tablet?

they don't do anything

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.

@brian - webOS had(has) nodejs. sweet.
- cliveb

Word is widely used. Most people I work with in the enterprise hate Google docs

My wife still thinks she is running Wordstar (That's what she calls MSWord)

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
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

I would be up the creek currently at home without having a full OS/Environment. So yeah, it's still very important.

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.

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.

Francine: yes.

No -- Excel is
- Brian Hendrickson
Mostly documents in small business. NO, Steve.

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:-)

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

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

E-mail will persist as long as there are lawyers. Where else will people place those lengthy legal disclaimers?

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
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

I like Prezi

how can you "work" with an ipad? the app model is like Dos..one thing at a time..

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
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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

- Jerry Schuman

- 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, "

Rule of thumb: If you hear it from Laura N, it's generally right. :-) She set me straight twice recently.

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.)

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."

Tip 20% unless you want Mona to come and yell at you :)
- Mike Nayyar
Also eat sushi properly or Mona will come and yell at you.
- Akiva
If you cite Wikipedia as your primary source, Mona will likely gut you.
- Mike Nayyar
If you are a male and sit with your legs crossed at the knee rather than the ankle, Mona will come and yell at you.
- Akiva
Mona will cut you if you lie about her commuting habits.
- iTad
If you don't salt the water, Mona will come and yell at you.
- Akiva
Mona will not climb above 10,000 feet.

Remember. It's not whole Scoble likes. It's who likes Scoble.
- Akiva
According to FriendFeed, that's everyone. And some Twitter marketers and SEO experts.
- Mike Nayyar
Mike will get in the last word. Eventually. Everyone else is an idiot for playing his little game. Me included. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I'm not actually playing. Or, if I am, I'm playing to lose.

- Johnny
Isn't it pretty?
- Mike Nayyar
Are you still trying to be friendfeed's #1 troll? Making people sick of seeing your face is a good way to make progress on that goal.
- DGentry
Pretty as in model pretty or pruuuuddy as in 'My name is bubba and I like your mouth'?
- Johnny
Well, that was always the plan.

It's not that it's fuzzy, it makes you FEEL fuzzy.
- Mike Nayyar
Oh good. Not sure I could handle the fuzz. Texture issues, mind you.

Texture is important for digestion.

If you can get buddy buddy with mike and figure out his schedule, you can prevent him from stopping the comments because you'll always be able to get the last word in. We must prevail for great justice!

You're not supposed to make sense of it. It exits only as an opaque, monolithic data structure that is constantly being updated and evolving. ;)

Attempting to parse it in a manner that is not approved by FriendFeed, Inc may result in disruption of the space-time continuum, and a series of Bad Things(R) occurring.

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.

I know I have Klout when John Taschek returns my call

how do they measure it ?? Quantity; quality ??
- studentforce
the problem with klout is that there really aren't many alternatives.
- Danny Starr
lol if you are basing anything like pay or hiring on klout, you're nuts and desire what you got when they changed it

an attempt at klout is worthless without incorporating personas.
- Jerry Schuman
Justin Bieber has a Klout score of 100.
- Alex de Soto
ripples - that sounds interesting
- studentforce
klout is fun for people that like their ego boosted :)
- Christian Burns
there is no specificity for klout scores...

and they have AWS which lowers their TCO for deploying those services and new offerings

the netflix price hike is because movie studios wanted more money. Why should netflix sell the subscription at a loss?

Android has a similar feature - voice search has been there for ages, voice command is separate. they need to unify and tune it.

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?

yeah - like Omar on The Wire - that dude had integrity

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.

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.

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.

A life well-lived. What more can anyone expect? It's a sad thing but hardly an ending.

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.

Gentlemen, do you think Tim Cook can bend additional media industries, like TV content and distribution, to Apple's will & new products?
- r Macdonald

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.

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.

- Teri Temme

- 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.

- 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
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

- 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
WWSJD?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
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
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
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
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
i hope Danny is talking about upgrading the phone...not the wife ;-)

Hang on Kevin. We're about to get you connected but maybe a 5 min delay
- Tina Chase Gillmor
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
Honestly, I have never seen Mark Zuckerberg being so natural, real and beautifully open!
- Nir Ben Yona
And his goofy nervous laugh
- Mark Vaske
Moe: Google+ is Google's "bet the company" reaction to Zuckerberg's strategy.
- Robert Scoble
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
Is this Dan's post? http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment...
- Alex de Soto
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
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
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
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
@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
Apple is betting on twitter as their social bus
- Kevin Marks
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
@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
@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
@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
@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

hello everyone
- Mark Vaske
State of the twunion?
- Kevin Marks
hello!!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
44% of the active users are inactive?
- Kevin Marks
he, he
- Tina Chase Gillmor
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
if I was to ask a question and get 30,000 answers, it would be almost impossible for me to find useful.
- Aron Michalski
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
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
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
FriendFeed is still better than Google+ technically and functionally.
- Brian Sullivan
well not +1's - that woudl be counting favorites on twitter
- Kevin Marks
Keith, how much do you use Google + ?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
but the flat nature of tweets is in some ways an advantage
- Kevin Marks
Here we go again... "Normal". Elitist crap.
- Aron Michalski
Daily peek, don't publish much
- Keith Teare
interesting. Me too.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
It's not so much search as it is getting content onto their system as oppossed to a competitor's cloud system that is closed off from the open web
- Stephen Pickering
Kevin, I don't think +1s are conceptually the same. I plus +1 things that I agree with, not necessarily things I want to save for later (I have a Favorites circle for that).
- James Williams
Herman Caine seemed the most Reaganesque to me. He was cool.
- Stephen Pickering
G+ is like scanning a newspaper rather than having a channel on 24/7
- Aron Michalski
I tried their exporter out when talking about microformats with Sarah Perez this week, and was surprised how few g+ posts I'd made
- Kevin Marks
Danny, I just figured out why Elliot wanted real names.com
- Keith Teare
+Aron yes, G+ prolly research
- cliveb
It's a G+ play - obviously
- Keith Teare
Elliot who?
- Kevin Marks
I have a folder of 15 actual friends...
- Aron Michalski
WTF does using a "real (sounding) name" have to with identifying a person?
- Brian Sullivan
I don't even know what yahoo does or stands for. It's ridiculous
- Stephen Pickering
Hay for the farm. Next.
- Aron Michalski
I know a lot of smart people at Yahoo, but also a lot of legacy process that needs fixing
- Kevin Marks
No one knows what yahoo is because it isn't anything
- Stephen Pickering
I should wear my Google Apps NSA t-shirt (Not Search or Ads)

Yahoo Finance is the only reason I use Yahoo.

what about the new iPad app

that was the joke, Aron
- Kevin Marks
Sorry Kevin, I'm a bit slow. Mentally.

- Aron Michalski
Don't solve problems, don't fix anything, do something cool
- Stephen Pickering
...and here's the part of the show where we provide major SV company's lots of free advice! You're welcome
- Tina Chase Gillmor
There are plenty of users(targets) who don't play games, don't check in, don't collect stickers ("grown ups"?) how do you bag them and get them into your universe? Purchase?
- Aron Michalski
right on Robert! notifications Red box

NEXT SPRING FOR AN IPAD APP!?
- Mark Vaske
are Yahoo execs listening to GG? Google does.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I think my point was how do you get people out of established Yahoo Groups and move them into a new retirement community?

whats Facebook going to do for social tv when apple puts it out?

- Aron Michalski
"Now deliver me social..." :)
- James Williams
There are smart, valid people in coach. Spending 3 times more to sit in the front of the plane to get to the same fucking place is just...dopey.
- Aron Michalski
twitter and fb
- Mark Vaske
Aron, *nods*, those in first could also be on free upgrades which I get from time to time even when I purchase coach.
- James Williams
do rich people use Facebook?
- Aron Michalski
20 yrs with Steve married. yep
- Tina Chase Gillmor
congrats
- Mark Vaske
In the early days, that was true because to be on FB, you originally had to be a college student.
- James Williams
I'll take a fat seat anytime the rich stay home. It's nice to be able to reach into your own pants pocket and pull out something (which is hard to do in coach without dislocating your shoulder...)
- Aron Michalski
Kevin he is saying that apple is driving the usage that brings notifications back to the hardware...
- Mark Vaske
Apple didn't invent multitasking....Android and WebOS had it first.
- James Williams
Danny carriers don't control apple software unlike android
- Mark Vaske
Thanks - told him the other day I didn't realize forever would mean 20 &(#($ years
- Tina Chase Gillmor
so absolute control and no choice is better.
- Aron Michalski
There are multiple app stores on Apple. There is Cydia and OpenMarket.

That's true James.

- 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

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.

Scoble, Pocket Cast app had the gillmor feed and downloads the video to my android,

geez, Robert. Caught whiffs of the "Scoble turned down 500k" story...you do have your fans and your detractors, don't you? :)
- Karoli
Have yet to play it on the phone yet
- Christian Burns
standby... running a few minutes behind. line up Gang!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Karoli: yeah, I sure do, don't I? In the past week I pissed off some rich and famous people. As it should be. :-)

Count me as a friend, Robert. In fact, count everybody here as my friend.

Hi Dave Winer

Hello everyone!
- Nir Ben Yona
Hi Dave!
- Francine Hardaway
Exactly, Doc. It's his life. I am sad because I suspect he's dying or he wouldn't have stepped down
- Francine Hardaway
those pictures on tmz are heartbreaking
- Jamie
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
the Apple UFO building
- Kevin Marks
Yes, Jobs recently presented a plan to the Cupertino City Council about the Apple campus. Search yourtube.
- coldbrew
Steve is right the commencement speech was 2005
- Tina Chase Gillmor
he hasn't been the pitchman for over a year anyway.

Karoli: he was at the iPad 2 launch.

ok. hold on...Here you go: youtube.com/watch?v=gtuz5OmOh_M

HDDs are on their way out for most of us. STX needs to get some SSD tech. Does anyone know if they have that?

I'm still one of the crazies thinking that personal servers will rule the roust once everyone understands decentralization and simple server management.
- coldbrew
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.

That perception of perfection is what people called Jobs' "reality distortion field," which is an amazing part of his legacy for Apple's brand.

Steve presents Cupertino Council http://youtu.be/gtuz5Om...

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?

- cliveb
yeah the blue ipod

the jailbrake community is quite strong.

Cliveb: exactly.

"It takes more time to make a fake" but they are all rushing these products
- Mark Vaske
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
idk about that, apple has the most developers, and they control and make the best hardware...
- Mark Vaske
capacitive touch changed lots of things
- coldbrew
kevin yr audio keeps building up as you are silent can u switch toheadphone?

I am on headphone. Does this build of skype do AGC?

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.

- The Ghost of Library Past
Moe, we said hi to him at the beginning of the show.
- Robert Scoble
@francine - you have to be in the dev program
- Mark Vaske
Zing! This is hilarious.
- coldbrew
Well, I''m not a dev today, but tomorrow, who knows?
- Francine Hardaway
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
Where is the Android version of the ipod touch?
- coldbrew
I have a feature phone with a low cost carrier, and a ipod touch for voip at home.

heh - no new information here (re:FriendFeed) - that's the problem - not the solution

they're using the DMCA exemption that Pandora uses, which is very fiddly

- Ankush Narula
Ok. So, safe harbor?

I prefer pidgeons and usenet, personally.
- coldbrew
with tt, you're sharing another activity while conversing about it
- Jerome Hughes
the listener can't know what is coming up, or hear more than 3 songs by the same artist per hour on a channel, plus reporting rules etc. If those are all satisfied, there is a statutory rate of something like a tenth of a cent per song per listener. Right Denise?
- Kevin Marks
“Good, better, and best” - WinPad, DroidPad, iPad. (FB, Twitter, G+)
- cliveb
They are also a MediaNet client.

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

They should rename Netflix to MadMenTV just for Steve ;-)

What's the content lockin on iCloud?
- David Ashwood
the iCloud storage goes away if you stop paying
- Kevin Marks
iCloud replaces Dropbox - where's the multi-user collaborative stuff - and the server-side apps?
- Ankush Narula
Aye Kevin - but from an App provider/integration perspective - could you put the same content on iCloud and iGoogle?

Scoble, you see the profile icons in Google Chrome 15?

It's nice to know when someone is following you.. other clients do this..

False. Teens love the apps, which you can only get on iOS or Android.

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.

RIM could work the anti-establishment angle for marketshare ;-)

But now if you close the cell network, the info is delayed and the realtime nature avoids the momentum.
- Aron Michalski
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.

Then, as is being mentioned, triangulate and use the cell phones as homing beacons.

aaah, here's the class argument. You want to mine my data Scoble? I guess I'll have to become more popular.

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?

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.

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."

Why do you think that "look and feel" became a defense? It's because of the fact that code can be one line different, therefore not a complete rip.

Where is the random on Spotify - I like the access to the music, I just don't want to curate it so much, and if I do, I like Turntable.fm
- MarkDilley
for now seems Spotify is social async, #TT is social realtime
- Jerome Hughes
now that you can upload all your stuff to Amazon and Google for free, it won't matter until Apple does it. It works great, except it maxes out your onboard RAM on Android phones. Desktop, big win.
- Aron Michalski
I'll try it agin with more people on it, but way less social than turntable. Though apparently listen on turntable, add to spotify is good

Spotify is great on the go...but turntable is cooool

I can only listen to my music when I'm connected to the network? Does anyone remember that the entire world is not 3G, let alone 1G?

Spotify has some caching or downloading features for when you have not network access, I think

Anyone heard of a "signed" plug-in?

I had pretty much given up on music, just listened to Pandora - and #TT surprised me, re-ignited my caring about music again, haven't felt that through spotify
