How many business cards have I collected? I spent more than $1,000 to scan them all in at http://www.cloudcontacts.com/ Great service.

It is so cool to know who is calling on my iPhone.
- Robert Scoble
Was it worth the money do you think -- besides being cool.
- Brian Sullivan
I bought a scanner but never used it. This is making my iPhone and my Gmail much more useful. No longer do I have to waste time looking up emails and phone numbers.
- Robert Scoble
One problem with business cards, though. They go out of date remarkably fast. CloudContacts tries to help by hooking up with other social networks so you can find other ways to contact the person you're trying to get ahold of.
- Robert Scoble
I am sending all my business cards to C loud Contacts now.

Now you know why I'm hoping we move to a Poken world: http://www.doyoupoken.com

Completely agree -- probably one of my favorite services I've started using this year!
- Sean Ammirati
how did you spend over $1k when the service is nowhere near that expensive? your a big liar.
- Ed Palumbo
Presumably Robert had quite a few more than 500 cards.
- Tim Tyler
Thanks everyone! Keep your cards coming :)
- Allen Stern
Ed: I have many thousands of business cards in my collection.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks Robert, looks like a real find - hope it's a keeper.
- courtney benson
By the way Ed, I came very close to blocking you. Anyone who accuses someone else of lying without knowing the facts is an asshole and I generally block assholes.
- Robert Scoble
How do you think business cards getting evolved? Do you see people mentioning links to their FriendFeed or Twitter Profiles? :)
- Bhavesh
bhavesh: yes, I've gotten business cards that have links to those things.
- Robert Scoble
block the asshole robert!!!!!
- Rachael Depp
Ed -- do you not know the power of the scoble? GEEK FAIL! B-)

Rachel: I'm in a good mood so Ed gets a verbal warning. :-)

lol! good moods are nice :)

Cool service but I'm trying not to hand out my cards anymore unless the recipient MUST have a paper card. I now send my business card from my phone, txt or the web via http://www.mydropcard.com/ for free. I'll send you my card that way Robert, so you can see how it works.
- Kevin C. Tofel
I also added. But I prefer Friendfeed widget. Below.
- ramiromarques
Haha, I didn't think I was being too harsh. It was more of a "hey, this service is pretty inexpensive." - thanks for not blocking me as I'm a fan. (yikes)

Ooh, I should see if mine is in there somewhere...

Shall I send mine? :)

Checked the box that I read my bank's online T&Cs, but I lied. Don't we all? Only standard T&Cs or privacy policies would be meaningful.

Going to Facebook later today to interview devs about the new site design, connect, and feeds. Wanna know anything? I might do a Qik too.

Is simpler integration/aggregation of users' OTHER social media in the cards?
- Dave Roth
it would be nice to be able to cut and paste an email address from a contact rather than have to retype it in every time.
- Thomas Hawk
when are they going to fix the messaging features - private message handling is not great in facebook.
- Morgan
When will FB allow users to export their own attention stream? (ie the newsfeed about them)
- Sean Ammirati
ask them when will they change their stupid TOS to stop being so unethical
- Marcos Marado
their notes/blogging platform is very old skool. when will that be upgraded to allow import of photos,video,etc..?
- Randy Ksar
Why do something like Connect when there things like OpenSocial and OAuth that do the same? I understand not using OpenSocial, but OAuth is a fairly generic authentication/authorization standard. Do we really need another proprietary one?

Why can't I only see those people that I have not sent a fan page or group invite too? Why can't I segment by network on that screen like I can for an application invite?

i don't follow Facebook stuff closely, so maybe this has been answered ... offhand, i'd be interested in whether there's any plan to adapt Facebook policy for international markets (ie, allowing greater anonymity in Japan), and if not, what other plans they might have to overcome that sort of hurdle (if any).

I second the Firefox 3 problems. Links on the new layout die more than half the time.
- Sean O
Are they planning on giving more importance to video distribution on the platform?
- xavier vespa
I would want to know how users could export more of their personal information to make backup of it.
- Daniel Schildt
And yes, they need to change TOS so they don't own every photo people add to their profiles.
- Daniel Schildt
They should also fix chat and add support fox visible logs for it (or option to avoid logging) like Google does with Gtalk inside Gmail.
- Daniel Schildt
Can we expect OpenId kind of features in the future? Can they also be used by third party websites that have nothing to do with facebook?
- Corné Wielemaker
Ask them also if they would do mindmap styled diagram that would show your connections and how each of them are connected to other people you know. Some sort of interactivity in that (if made with JavaScript or Flash) could allow quite great learning experience as you could find out much easier who knows who. There are some third party apps that do that kind of stuff, but I don't personally trust them that much.
- Daniel Schildt
a) how long will they keep the "classic" design available and b) how many people are choosing the new design?
- Laura Norvig
Ask why Facebook Mobile doesn't support T-Mobile.
- Jeff Lopes
When they finalize transfer of people to new design and how long they keep the old one around? Does old design make apps developement more difficult when compared to new one? What changes they recommend for people making add-ons for Facebook? Are apps going to have more reasonable privacy restrictions to not get access to all info?

Does the new design increase or decrease traffic to applications?

How could users add more customized fields to their info tab in profile (and would that make Facebook more bloated)?

do they plan on allowing video streaming etc in the future AND will they come out with their own FacebookIM client for the desktop
- Travis Cooper
When will they add photo commenting (and viewing of photo comments) to the iphone and mobile web interfaces?

Can you ask their Chief Privacy Officer to take phone calls from reporters?
- Andrew Feinberg
Why does their site degrade to a blank page when javascript is turned off?
- Brandon Titus
I hate being held hostage in an email thread listening to unending chatter from people I don't know and don't care to know. And can the apps under "Boxes" be made collapsible? It's like a dumping ground for useless apps now, I hardly go there. I keep those apps for peeps who can't live a day without poking me. And yeah, the blogging feature needs a major upgrade. Wait, their TOS gives them rights to my profile pictures? What the...

Poll: What Should Be Done About The "I Am Rich" App? http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Steve Spalding liked this
This is just plain ridiculous. There was NO deception, and the price and non-functionality obvious and clearly stated. It's not like the phone buys the app without the user initiating the transaction. I *really* don't think Apple should get involved here. What if someone makes an app that only has mild use, and the buyer feels they overpaid? Can't they come whine to Apple for that too?...

The individuals who bought the app should be taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot
- tehKenny, Dork
agree w/tehkenny - I'm retracting my previous comment.
- Jeremy Toeman
Nothing should have been done. Sigh. If you bought the app because you thought apple was joking? You deserve to be $1k poorer.
- felix
Isn't the real issue that Apple should have never approved the app? IE What exactly has the screening process been used for? I feel this is a valid question for all the apps that reach the 'black list' but especially this one.

How likely is it that the 3G iPhone will be in stock tomorrow?
Diana Valerini, Jonathan Sterling, Dan Liebke and 12 other people liked this
I would guess not very likely. I think they'll start selling in a couple weeks.
- MG Siegler
But I hope I'm wrong :)
- MG Siegler
By "in stock" do you mean everywhere or anywhere? If a 3G iPhone is indeed announced tomorrow then I'll say 70% they'll have some in stock at at least some of their stores.
- Tad
I'm with MG, though I hope he's wrong too. And on the one hand I hope they *do *go for $199, but on the other hand if that's the case my gen 1 model just turned into a paperweight!
- Robert Seidman
I bet they're available by the end of the week.And many of the 1st buyers will be iPhone Gen 1 users. What happens to all those old iPhones?
- Rich Casey
@Tad I mean this - should I be prepared to go to the Apple Store after work?
- Steve Rubel
Online? Good. At big stores? Decent. At my podunk Apple Store? Slim to none.
- Cyndy
@rich - they go to heaven of course! http://venturebeat.com/2008...
- MG Siegler
I say the old iPhones represent a huge opportunity for someone to start up a gadget subscription service to service those folks who weren't early adopters. They can get a still sexy-as-hell iPhone for a fraction of the price of what they were new. Either that or they can all go onto eBay. :D
- Tad
LOL MG, but I'm not sure they turn into heavenly iPhones unless you jailbreak them. Right now, you can't sync an iphone that hasn't been activated on AT&T and use it as a regular iPod w/o hacking it.
- Robert Seidman
@robert, fair enough, good point
- MG Siegler
I've got my money ready Steve, but I don't anticipate it being available for a few weeks. I just rewatched the SDK event and they clearly stated that v2 of the iPhone software would be released at the end of June
- Jamie
*Something* will be available right away (or within 2 weeks), either the 3G-iPhone2, or a cheaper entry-level/subsidized iPhone. Apple has been without stock for too long, they're not stupid, and they want to max out their Q3 shipments. But there's going to be quite a backlog of demand, so quantities will be tight at least for a few weeks.
- LogEx
My guess is 2 weeks, available from around the 19th, least here in australia (it's the date the Sydney store opens)
- Duncan Riley
I bet the app store will ship tomorrow.
- Steve Rubel
yeah, they'll need to give us something tomorrow. 2.0 software is a good bet.
- MG Siegler
Who cares - as long as the phone is tied exclusively to a service(AT&T in the U.S.), its going nowhere fast. It's kind of like a repeat of the Apple-exclusive hardware for Mac OS. That worked really well for market share and innovation...
- Zach Landes
absolutely not. Will be June 19 for the Australian Apple Store launch
- Allison
Seems reasonable that some will be in stock, enough to sell to people who have been waiting in line for weeks. If I get one, I don't expect to take the plunge for a few months.
- Mike Reynolds
rambn: funny, my family has five AT&T phones and I wouldn't use anything else now, at least in the San Francisco Bay Area. TMobile? Crap. Sprint? Crap. Verizon? That's as good as AT&T but they don't have iPhones, so they are out of my picture too.
- Robert Scoble
I don't know, but I really hope so! I have really become a fan boy :)
- Sean Ammirati
I think many of us are unhappy with our current provider. I know I an unhappy with Sprint and look forward to the day the contract is over. We have 5 lines counting the data card. I am looking forward to an iPhone.
- Johnny Sewell
@Robert Scoble My family is all in California except me and they are on Sprint. Very nice family plan, and the service has been fine. I think you met my sister Marni at Under the Radar. She's got data on sprint and it works well. Oh, and just because AT&T is "the best" doesn't mean its ridiculous that you should be locked into a service provider. What happened to choice?!?
- Zach Landes
You have choice, Zachary -- you can buy a Windows Mobile phone. :-) If Apple wanted to build a platform independent phone it wouldn't have gotten to develop the OS for the phone *it* wanted to build. The telcos were not too interested @ the time in a phone that nearly had a 1GB OS. I hope it is open to all carriers someday, but I'm glad it got built how Apple wanted it built.
- Robert Seidman
I'm betting immediate availability through the Apple store and in major markets. A couple weeks elsewhere.
- Chris Baskind
Almost certain that they won't be available until around the 18th at the earliest. Jobs will use the interim to build anticipation and for the free marketing. I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but I also suspect that we'll only get demos of apps and have to wait until the end of June for the 2.0 firmware update.

@Robert Seidman thats not a compromise I'm happy to make. About a week ago I wrote up my thoughts about this, incidentally...http://snipurl.com/2en25 [zachlandes.com]
- Zach Landes
@Zachary and you get the opportunity to not make that compromise. On the other hand, had Apple compromised, nothing remotely approaching what got built would've gotten built. That said, I do not love the "control" they are lording over us (no support of Flash, etc). It's not a perfect world, but I am very happy with the phone.

It feels like Christmas Eve and Steve Jobs is Santa Claus!! :)

@Robert I want one...but my Sprint family plan is too good to abandon. And I'm about go to England...does the iPhone work there?!

it works in the UK, but you may want to look into the international data plan or not use it for data unless you have WiFi.

I'm getting about 15-20 FriendFeed adds per day. Guessing it's going to be the next Twitter-like success.
