Using iChat Helps Us Bridge Four Generations, Even if the Great-Grandparents Find the Tech Overwhelming at Times...

Awesome. We use Skype + video to let my 18 month old son's granparents (who live across the country) see and interact with him weekly. Priceless.

my cat does this with BACON...absolute madness under my feet!! soo funny
- Susan Beebe
Our cats do that with anything in a tin because they think it might be tuna. They're always surprised when I'm opening peaches or something and show them that it's not tuna. It's like they're saying, "WTF, tuna comes in a tin and is delicious but you're eating *that* instead?!"
- Rochelle
Yeah, Stella the Cat goes crazy when I open any small can (she ignores the big ones). Might be tuna. ;-)
- Chris Baskind
Rochelle - isn't that peach-can look priceless!! wtf! LOL
- Susan Beebe
Chris, one of our cats is Stella, too. :)
- Rochelle
cute
- DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
my car does the same thing, once she hears a can opening. I can open any can, and plunks herselelf around my feet ,a long with all the purring and rubbing herself all over.. and then she gives a nasty look when she smells if itsa can of pineapple juice or something like that.. walks way soon after. Ungrateful creatures !!! :)_
- Peter Dawson
Peter, that's a talented car you've got.
- Rochelle
As an update: Echo snubbed the bit of sausage I gave her. My cats are odd, they don't get all that excited about cans. Echo will eat your cheese while you're not looking. Samson sneaks into my bloody mary's. Summer, however, takes the cake. She'll steal tequila AND has crawled into a bag of Doritos to get a chip.

Rocelle, trust me .Ms.Socks ss very talented.. knows how to get what she wants !...kinda lady :)-
- Peter Dawson
Tina, heres on for the chips http://picasaweb.google.com/lh...
- Peter Dawson
Peter, that's awesome! We didn't realize she liked Doritos until she stole one from my husband and growled when we tried to take it away. The tequila was an accident too: I made tequila lime chicken and left the marinade in the bowl while we ate dinner. 20 minutes later she walked into the room kinda sideways....
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
My kitten will take a Dorito and lick all the flavor off of it, delicately flip it over and lick the other side clean. Then she'll eat it. It's hilarious. I have yet to find anything she WON'T eat.
- Ladybug Heather
In college I left a tuna sandwhich on my bed next to my books to fetch a ringing phone. When I came back my cat had just devoured my entire sandwhich, sans the lettuce and bread - ate ALL the tuna and licked all the mayo right off the bread too! purrrrring loudly, of course

Most stuff I bookmark online (on delicious or magnolia), but short-term stuff, like jobs or concerts I'm interested in following up on I bookmark locally.

yeah, similar - frankly i've never gotta hang of bookmarking...I keep tools i need to viisit regularly in my toolbar and then every other one i tend to search google for! :)
- Zee.
socially through delicious w/ some on Google bookmarks & Yahoo bookmarks
- scott
I always do it socially, unless I have a tab open that I haven't looked at yet and need to close the browser. Then I just delete them again once I've looked at them.
- Geoff Girardin
Socially - I rarely mark bookmarks as private, but if I do, they're short-term (as with Jandy).
- flammable
I always bookmark socially, unless it's local scope (eg intranet)
- David Slattery
Socially. I don't see the point of bookmarking locally as socially works both ways and locally only serves me. Plus I'd rather have all my links saved to the cloud and my desktop rather than just the desktop.
- Jon Gosier
both.. diigo and foxmarks ftw!
- Tim Hoeck
I have been using the hell out of Read This Later. At least as far as marking things to read later... *cough* Once I've checked something out, tho, it usually ends up on delicious or somewhere.
- abacab
I use both, depending on what I'm bookmarking.
- LouCypher
local bookmarks are for porn and you all know it
- Mitch
I've started using Twine as well.
- Ian May
I used to bookmark by creating contacts. That way they got synchronised to my mobile device. But I don't bookmark since FF3. Browser history = bookmarks. For me it's quicker to type a few letters in the address bar and then pick one of my browser's auto-complete options
- sjjh

- Daynah
Somewhere in the past few years, I got too lazy to bookmark at all. Most of my computers almost always have something like 8 windows open with 35 or so tabs between them, and I might have IE, Chrome and or Safari open, too. Wonder what a psychiatrist would make of that.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
With FF related items we can see how many people posted and bookmarked any one page. Its great.
- Roberto Bonini
Both, one off stuff I keep for reference goes to delicious, stuff I use regularly and want to bookmark for ease of access goes into Google Bookmarks, nothing goes into the browsers local bookmarks.

Both. I primarily bookmark locally with foxmark syncing but also bookmark socially w/ magnolia.

I have no clue. I never tried. Tumblr is too much work for me now and WP can be an asshole at times. But that's me

I tried tagging all the stuff from my tumblr and nearly threw my computer out the window. Posterous is easy. You can post more than one image at a time about place. So no hunting for that favorite comic in the archive. More than one video per post. Etc...

Hrm...I emailed a song into tumblr and it came out fine. Nice flash player. Not sure how it handles all that other stuff. one thing it didn't do is create an enclosure for the audio so you can play it in FF. Posterous handles that a lot better.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I can confirm...it is the dogs bollocks. I just tried it out and aside from the ease of use, quick setup and support for all sorts of files .... the autoposting to other places (including your main blog) is superb
- Zee.
LOL @Zee for "dogs bollocks"
- Far
You know why I keep using both? Posterous autoposts for me and Tumblr has a bookmarklet. I don't know why Posterous is slacking on the bookmarklet side. It makes it almost useless for sharing stuff.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
A bookmarklet would be nice but not sure if it would work out that great

Rah: I put a Gmail-Compose Mail link loaded in my Firefox side bar... And I edited the link to show the sendto adress as soon as I click it.

Ed, I read a lot in Google Reader, which makes it hard to see comments unless I get interested enough to see what's going on and click over. FriendFeed makes it a LOT easier to post comments on posts, like what I'm doing here.
- Robert Scoble
Chris Brogan asks an excellent question here. For me, blogging is about sharing great information. I always link to anything I think my readers will enjoy. I also blog about the blog I read - and recommend people like Robert Scoble, so my readers can discover new places to find great content.
- Jim Connolly
I try to only link out to personal blogs when possible, end many posts with "What others are saying" like to give readers more backstory than my own
- sean percival
Not so much promote, but if someone is looking for an intern, assistant, or advice of some nature and I know a friend or acquaintance (weak ties), then I will put them in touch with each other.
- Phillip Jeffrey
I try to do it often, mentioning people in my posts and retweeting, linking, etc. I also maintain my blogrolls. I try to promote who I see as the "up and coming" more than the current bigwigs. I am more likely to mention Mona or Rahsheen than Scoble, for example.
- Neal Jansons
Brogan is very smart about asking, sincerely, the question "What do You think?" constantly. Beyond giving folks an open voice, with the notion they're really being heard, it encourages a mindset where linking out no longer feels like reader leakage.
- Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
Aww shucks, thanks Neal :) -- I actually enjoy promoting those that deserve it. I also think promoting blogs/individuals that are not necessarily on the radar helps keep things interesting and keep us from getting trapped in a box. I'm going to avoid the buzzword here, you all know what I'm alluding to. :)

As often as I can, hence the constant linking, sharing Google Reader items, highlighting five new bloggers each month, and increasing guest posts.

No, he wasn't trying to goose Obama. The camera angle is playing making it kinda look that way. This was at the end where McCain was gonna go to his right to shake the moderator's hand and the moderator went to McCain's left so there was a little foot-dancing going on. So, McCain was like okay, left or right, left or right?

AAPL sure looks like a great buying opportunity right now. Wish I had some cash. Someone go make a pile on it for me, k?

Yes. It was also a great buying opportunity at 180, 160, 150, 130, and 110.
- Morton Fox
Morton: I'll start buying at 22. :-)
- Robert Scoble
No way. I'm not buying again until it splits. I purchased AAPL at $19 so even today it looks too expensive for purchase. I only wish I had more cash back then to buy a ton of shares when Apple was on the rocks
- Glenn Batuyong
I also thought something along that lines last week when it was at 107 or so... Not so much anymore + I'm broke anyways.

Robert, we're not even in a recession yet - there's every good reason to buy right now. FUD by the media is what will kill the economy.
- Jesse Stay

Jesse: our economy is in a total mess. I don't care what you call it, but to try to put lipstick on this pig isn't going to help anyone. It just makes you look strange after people figure out you were blowing smoke up their you know what.

- adolfo foronda
Robert, I'm not denying it's a mess. I'm just saying the stock market isn't entirely driven by the economy - it's driven by the buying habits of the citizens. We're in serious debt as a nation right now, but that doesn't mean that there's no money out there, or that the stock market won't go back up. FUD by the media will keep it from going up more than anything.
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
Jesse: and every indication is that a lot of our economy is hoarding right now, which is driving us into a death spiral. Translation: stay as far away from Apple as you can.
- Robert Scoble
Holy cow - AAPL ended up $1 today!
- Internet's Tad
Tad: yup, because of strong iPhone sales.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I'm sorry, but you're crazy. You *want* to buy when things are a mess. There's a reason Warren Buffett is the world's richest man - and it's just common sense. "Buy low, sell high" when translated into Buffetspeak, is "Buy when everyone's scared, sell when everyone's excited". Buy now. And keep buying as it gets worse. As soon as people say "Best. Economy. Ever." 5 years from now - start selling.
- Don MacAskill
Don: if you said "dollar cost average back into stocks as they go down" I'd agree with you. But that doesn't mean buying a whole lot right now. There is still a lot that can go wrong with Apple. Most of Apple's products are not a "must buy" kind of thing. Christmas is going to be brutal at retail. So, financial results for next two quarters a re going to be pretty brutal. Why would you buy any stock today. Buying "low" doesn't mean "buy them when they are going down." There's plenty of time.
- Robert Scoble
I agree with scobleizer. It's too risky to buy a bunch at once. AAPL will almost certainly make it out of this mess and people will hopefully return to buying its products but for the time being, dollar-cost-averaging would be the only way i'd be buying. And you still may be talking about years before you profit. In that time, competition and the market for their products can change dramatically.

Friend of mine who is a financial officer for a company here in Asia thinks we still probably have two years before we see the bottom of this.
- Justin Long
Robert: If you're looking at a long-term investing strategy, dollar-cost averaging right now would work very well. Particularly if you're doing it on a robust index of stocks, rather than just a few or just an industry. However, that doesn't preclude finding great one-off buying opportunities - and AAPL at $89 was/is a great opportunity. Why? See my next message... :)
- Don MacAskill
Why is AAPL @ $89 a great buying opportunity? (Note, I'm not saying it's the *best* buying opportunity - if it goes down more, buy then too!). But it's best because they have solid fundamentals, a great balance sheet, and most of all - Apple out-executed every other tech company I can think of during the last downturn. Instead of cowering in fear, Apple consciously decided to "double down" on talent, R&D, and innovation because they wanted to be in the power position when the downturn ended.
- Don MacAskill
Don: cool. You have the money to spend. I just believe this market has a lot more downward pressure on it to come. Especially if financial results aren't what are expected (and they won't be, is my bet). So, if you are buying short term, I think you're going to get the nasties. If you're buying long term there is absolutely no reason to not dollar cost average into Apple at this point. Not much upside to trying to time this market.
- Robert Scoble
Steve got *reamed* for it in the press, just as he's gotten *reamed* the last two years for sitting on their cash hoard. Now, as then, he looks brilliant. He has the cash to massively innovate and entrench during the downturn and come out smelling like roses in a few years. Mark my words - bookmark this thread. Dinner's on me if I'm wrong, anywhere you like. But dinner's on you if I'm right. Deal? :)
- Don MacAskill
Don: again: I agree with you if you take a two-year-long term outlook. In which case dollar cost averaging won't hurt you at all. But if you think you're going to see only Apple upside from $89 between now and say March of next year I think you're smoking crack. Now, if it goes up to $140 I'll lick your boots. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I *don't* have any money to spend - because I'm attempting to follow in Steve's footsteps. I believe the downturn is an awesome opportunity for SmugMug, so we're planning on scooping up talent and innovating our hearts out so when it's over, we'll be stronger than ever. *crosses fingers*
- Don MacAskill
Don: even there, I wouldn't buy too early. remember the last downturn? You didn't need to buy in 2001. The worst of the layoffs came in 2002 and lots of great people were on the street as late as 2004.
- Robert Scoble
I'm with Don - *if* I had the money to buy now's a great opportunity to buy AAPL. In the meantime, it's a great opportunity for any startup - get good talent and make good stuff. Not everything fails in a bad economy.
- Jesse Stay
I'd be buying if I had lots of cash that wasn't tied up in other stocks and a mutual fund. I'm not selling my ABT.TO stock at $5.

The amount of brain power around the globe devoted to selling ads has always boggled my mind. People doing things they find interesting is the engine of innovation. Business and markets often act as a black hole sucking away true creativity in trade for easy monetization. Cezanne spent his life trying to make great art, not capture markets.
