Robert Scoble
The unfundable world-changing startup - http://scobleizer.com/2008...
All about Terry Jones' Fluid Info, which is really awesome. - Robert Scoble
I am curious though. If there is no funding for it, is he willing to get some users on it in order to promote the technology? - Rob Diana
I met Terry a while back. This thing really is awesome. My impression is that he's basically a little concerned with premature exposure. He has this idea of what it is and should be, and is worried that people won't get it. Maybe he's over it now-- joking aside, Scoble featuring is a big promotion. I hope he gets the attention he richly deserves. - Jeremy Dunck
I really enjoyed the videos. Not only is his idea a possible "game-changer", but watching him describe his work it's impossible to miss how passionate he is about it. I wish him the best of luck! - Jeffrey Marsh
Robert - please keep us posted on Terry Jones' "Fluid Info" - I think that is simply amazing technology and highly disruptive as it is so dang different! :) - Susan Beebe
Ha - I just found this thread in Google. Thanks for all the wishes. We're hoping to get an alpha out at the end of June. There's a TON to do before then though. - Terry Jones
Terry also talked at PGCON recently [ http://bit.ly/9ANOf ] - Arvind

"Click each image to see the higher resolution photography at Navy.mil. Looks like it was a hard enough collision for the sail to get knocked to the starboard pretty good. No sailors were killed, and all sailors who were injured returned to duty" - Jim Norris from Bookmarklet
The stick-uppy part of a submarine is called a "sail"? - ⓞnor
Yes. Underwater currents flow against it, generating thrust. The pilot of the submarine can change the direction of the thrust via the swashplate. - Larry Greenfield
ohh, that's gonna end some careers.And that security guy on the sail looks like he's lugging a big ol' M60 - Navy probably doesn't see much value buying expensive new small arms for their expensive new big arms :) - Sean

You know how you meet someone smart and you don't know what they did? Discover what I learned about this guy: - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
You know how you meet someone smart and you don't know what they did? Discover what I learned about this guy:
I went home and Google'd him and learned he co-discovered the Ebola virus. Some people, when you meet them, you just know they are smart. They exude smartness. They make you feel humble without even saying a single word. I felt that around Peter Piot, I shot his badge, not to remember his face but so I would remember his name to do some research on later. I was blown away. This is the problem with Davos. You get thrust into a room with 50 interesting people and you have no idea what makes them interesting. I wish I had known more about Peter before I had met him, but there is something interesting about the serendipity of meeting someone new. Some of the most interesting people I've met have been people I've met out of the blue. How about you? - Robert Scoble from Bookmarklet
Interestingly enough I have dozens of experiences like this every week, without going to Davos. Especially in airplanes, because there you're forced to sit next to someone. I still remember the day I was sitting next to the CEO of REI. I've met interesting school teachers and plumbers and IT managers and tons of other people that way. Another day I met Larry Tesler, former Apple exec. Have you ever met someone who surprised you? - Robert Scoble
It's one of my driving wishes, being able to work with and interact with smart people. And I will agree with you that the most interesting people you meet by chance - but perhaps in part it is because we would be less intrigued by the people we set out to meet, having been more prepared for them? I envy you your chance to meet and talk with people like this in Davos, make the most of it else we'll all pounce on you ;) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle: I try, but the problem is that at Davos (and all conferences, really) you meet people like Peter and you know they did something interesting with their lives but you have no idea what it is. Because you only get fleeting moments with people at conferences by the time you figure it out they usually are gone. Now the hard work begins where we try to get a second chance and an interview! :-) - Robert Scoble
Incidentally that is perhaps one of the reasons I dont have an mp3 player and have the (very swiss/german) tendency to not sit alone at meals even when I am alone - to not isolate myself from meeting people. People are just about the most fascinating thing on earth! Even on the train / tube / plane or while waiting for something. I have learned about everything from preserving the pink... more... - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
But Robert others must say that about you? :) - Tina Clarke
Tina: oh, that's true. - Robert Scoble
I met my future wife in the badly-signposted grounds of Villa Borghese - she had a map, and I needed to know where the heck the villa itself was. I had two words of Italian, she had two words of English, and the gallery was closed for the day, so we went off for a walk instead. - Sean
By the way, I uploaded dozens of photos from Davos of people. All of whom can be found on Google. That too is something very cool that has developed in the past few years: the fact that we can learn a ton about nearly everyone. I didn't find a single person I couldn't find something about on Google. - Robert Scoble
What if you were initially impressed with someone you met in person but couldn't find anything about them via Google? - Mattb4rd
How far away are we from an app that will take the photo input (picture of someone's name badge) and automatically (within a minute) return information on them - bio, sites, etc - Wayne Schulz
Mattb4rd: then I would start wondering. I would probably pull up their business card and call them and say "why can't I find anything about you on Google?" That probably would lead to an interesting conversation. - Robert Scoble
Wow you're up early :) - Mattb4rd
Wayne: not far at all. Evernote already does some of that. Conference presenters could include info in a QR code on the badge that could be used with a cell phone. - Robert Scoble
I got the same feeling when I met the CEO of Parallels last year at WHD'08. There are quite some amazing people out there are ar not showcased enough. Most of them just like their privacy and are not "hungry for PR" - Lorand R. Minyo
I was fortunate enough to have David Soul (Hutch! of the show Starsky & Hutch from the 1970's) sit next to me at an education conference in LA around 1985.... that was an amazing day! He was very friendly and did not mind me gushing over his career (I was only a teen and really loved his work). He was homeschooling his kids! I was new to the process as was he... we shared lots of feedback / ideas...very cool. I was able to share my experience as a student; and he as the parent / teacher - Susan Beebe
If you want to find very interesting people right in your own town, head over to your local nursing home. You'll be amazed at what you'll learn and you'll feel good for doing it. You never know who you might meet and they'll be there next week if you want to go back to interview them. No need to travel around the world to find interesting people. You'll find amazing people in nursing homes who've essentially been written off by society. Seriously, try it! - Scott Maentz
I had breakfast at a conference a couple of years back with Professor Urban Ungerstedt, a Nobel Prize committee member, who I later found out had invented an incredible medical procedure called cerebral microdialysis. Weird thing is he sought me out for some advice on one of my specialist subjects which is surely one mark of a smart person. - Nicola Quinn
I wouldn't know where to begin, I meet interesting people all the time - paul mooney
Really liked what you said Robert... - Didier Lahely
Imagine if his badge had had a mobile barcode on it - the QR you mention, perhaps - which you could have snapped on your mobile device, and got profile info about him right away. No need for Googling for basic info, you would have already had that. That could have influenced what you did there and then, before you got home. Not a common standard yet, though. - Neville Hobson
+1 for Neville's comment - Andrew Terry
When I first started Following you on Twitter...I had NO idea who you were in the SM world..One day I addressed some comment to you...You replied to me..."Please email your comments to me so I can ignore you there just as easily as I ignore you on Twitter." Being new to Twitter, I was taken a back and my feelings were hurt. SO I Googled you. I still Followed you because I felt you had a... more... - SashaKane

ROTFLMAO as they say: "Please email your comments to me so I can ignore you there just as easily as I ignore you on Twitter." - Nick in Manila
SashaKane: sorry about that. I was having a bad day or something. I just wanted to get you to be public with me instead of private. I'd rather live my life completely in public, as much as possible. I really hate DMs, by the way, even though I've given up that particular fight and now try to answer them. - Robert Scoble
That was the best part of working as a research chemist, the intelligent, motivated people I got to work with. Unfortunatly, the corperate culture and I didn't get along; and government backed research is a mind-numbing waste of time. - Robert Hafer
Being in the music industry most of mine are "rockstars". After getting treated like crap by the band Tool (before they were really famous), me and my camera crew tucked our collective tail between our legs and started home. We stopped by a little gas station to fill up and another long haired guy was filling up too. I just started talking it up with him because I find people interesting. Turned out he was the drummer for Pearl Jam. We did an interview and previewed VS before it was mixed! - MarkCarras

For F's sake, do people actually READ any more? Before getting slammed, maybe read my goddamned post, you moron. (Towards about 20 people so far today and counting.)
That's the danger, people don't read carefully. - Dominic Jones
...so you're saying you like the way people read carefully? - WorldofHiglet
Sweet! I love seeing some attitude now and then. Let 'em have it. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
Didn't read. Don't see a link, and it'd probably be too long anyway. Aren't you that guy Kmart paid to hype stuff? - Ken Sheppardson
Those fools are making me angry! Hope they don't show up over here! - too late! - Jannifer @wordsforliving
No, I'm saying people will just take that Chris sold out for a $500 gift certificate. That's the story that sticks. Sadly. - Dominic Jones
Read? If it's more than 140 characters it's too long. Heheh. - Robert Scoble
There are a LOT of really really bad things going on in this world. Why do people find the most inane, irrational pseudo issues to get up in arms about? *shaking head* - BEX
Exactly Bex, I seriously don't understand what is wrong with people who love to criticize and pass judgment, yet have nothing of value to offer to the world themselves. - Jannifer @wordsforliving
Ken, technically, I think he's *one* of the guys Kmart paid to hype stuff. ;-) - Karim
yeah, I saw 'some' tweets about this one.. after a few of them, my brain (not me) understood the subject but my fingers refused to follow any pro or cons links. All these blah-blah won't change what I find interresting in what Chris and others write and share everyday. Maybe one day 'll I read a kind of abstract about the story. Maybe not. Guys, do we have to have a judgement on everything? to read everything? I hope not. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Hey, you're supposed to be an expert at getting folks to read your stuff. Use those skills, don't blame us! - Andy DeSoto
I'll be honest, I couldn't read the whole post. It's almost 3am and it's pretty long. I did scan it quite thouroughly, though. People are just trying to chip away at you because you're you. Haters... - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
In all actuality, Chris is definitely one of the blogs I will save for the next day if it's late...and it is. So I will have to read this tomorrow :) - Devlin Dunsmore

As someone who saw your jolt at PAB 2008, I am totally not surprised by your experiment. And, sadly, by the witch-hunt. nil illegitimus carborundum. And think of the boost to your T'rati ranking! ;-) - Bob LeDrew
@Bob - are you looking over my shoulder? I was JUST there. And yes, it pushed me up another 4, which in my ranking, that's a lot of links. - Chris Brogan
a lot of it is "holier than though" thinking. Ppl judge others on behavior and themselves on intention. - Valeria Maltoni
Chris, the post is just way too long. As someone who has been in the social media mix for years, you should already know that people aren't going to read the whole post, especially if they already have their minds made up. I can guarantee you that some of those extremely positive comments you get are also from people who didn't read the whole post. In other matters, you took the honest road and discovered that there's still fallout. Perhaps the lesson is that we're not ready to accept paid content. - Jennifer Van Grove
What Valeria said. ;-) - Chris Baskind
I also wanted to add that the subject matter in general is extremely controversial right now. My post on Circle of Moms for Mashable raised a few eyebrows because I happen to be Facebook friends with the CEO. That relationship was hyped a bit to create a scandal where there really wasn't one, but the bigger questions are still important for us to think about and explore. http://www.inquisitr.com/11467... - Jennifer Van Grove
No one told me there'd be math. - MVB (Grinch of FF)
Honestly the post wasn't all that well written or engaging compared to your other stuff, but nothing deceitful about it. Newspapers and magazines do sponsored stuff all the time, even if they don't declare it (a friend spent a weekend in a top Irish spa because his girlfriend was writing a review of it for an international womans magazine). To paraphrase Michael Franti, I don't care who is paying in public, I wanna know who is paying in private... - Sean
Good comment Sean. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
Chris - you need a break. Come on out to Utah and we can go skiing together. We can get a room at a resort (just don't tell my wife - maybe separate rooms would be best), go to the spa, kick back and relax. - Jesse Stay

"Ricoh, in particular, seemed to understand that some of us were looking for compact cameras for serious photography" - Anthony Farrior from Bookmarklet
They've been doing some really nice compacts for a couple release generation now - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
the look is old but the software inside is great! - Anthony Farrior
How can any camera for "serious photography" not have a view finder? - Brian Sullivan
What about "serious photography" requires a viewfinder? - Scott of Two Countries
Any camera that forces you to hold it out in front of you in two shaky hands to compose the picture is a fail in the serious photography department imho. - Brian Sullivan
Ha nothing like a bit of snobbery from us DSLR 'serious photographers'... actually my best camera pre-digital was a great little Rikoh, so I know the brand already. I have to say though that I use a 'no-viewfinder' Olympus Mu which is pretty old now, and I do prefer to have a viewfinder. - Sean
I don't think it is a dslr thing -- my first digital camera was a Sony compact -- it had a viewfinder. Buying a camera without a viewfinder is a serious error in my mind. But touting a camera without a viewfinder for "serious photography" tells me the touter is not to be taken seriously. - Brian Sullivan

Girl from iconic Great Depression photo: 'We were ashamed' - CNN.com
"MODESTO, California (CNN) -- The photograph became an icon of the Great Depression: a migrant mother with her children burying their faces in her shoulder. Katherine McIntosh was 4 years old when the photo was snapped. She said it brought shame -- and determination -- to her family. "I wanted to make sure I never lived like that again," says McIntosh, who turns 77 on Saturday. "We all worked hard and we all had good jobs and we all stayed with it. When we got a home, we stayed with it." McIntosh is the girl to the left of her mother when you look at the photograph. The picture is best known as "Migrant Mother," a black-and-white photo taken in February or March 1936 by Dorothea Lange of Florence Owens Thompson, then 32, and her children." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
They lived in tents or in a car. Local kids would tease them, telling them to clean up and bathe. "They'd tell you, 'Go home and take a bath.' You couldn't very well take a bath when you're out in a car [with] nowhere to go." She adds, "We'd go home and cry." She says she'll never forget the lessons of her hard-working mother, who died at the age of 80 in 1983. Her gravestone says: "Migrant Mother: A Legend of the strength of American motherhood." - Thomas Hawk
I grew up 4 miles south of Modesto in Ceres, Ca. - Russellreno
Ceres is great. I shot it a bit last month on a road trip to Fresno and the Central Valley. A very small town. - Thomas Hawk
It is always so interesting and great to get the perspective of the people in the photographs. Captions can do so much and this photo is so well known..I'm sure we all made our own stories for it when we saw it. Fabulous find. Thank you. - Anna Lynn M.

ohh yeah, and we're gonna see more and more of this type of behaviour. The goal of all good capitalists is to create a monopoly. - Sean
Sean, the goal is not to create a monopoly because that is dangerous in the eyes of federal regulations. What companies really want is to become dominant in the space, but still let the little people play around. See Google and search. - Rob Diana
Sorry Rob, I disagree. That's why the competition authorities exist, because *consumers* need competition, but a *company* wants a monopoly. The Feds (in the US) can take a long time to recognise and react to a monopoly - e.g. AT&T, Microsoft, Standard Oil.. etc. etc. - Sean

Appetite for organic food wilts as economy suffers - http://biz.yahoo.com/ap...
Appetite for organic food wilts as economy suffers
"Sales figures show that shoppers are having second thoughts about the value of organic foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and meats. But they're not giving up entirely on these products. Hennessey said she still pays a premium for organic cereal and eggs for her 4-year-old daughter, and Frantz said he splurges on organic eggs and dairy products. Overall sales of organic food are still rising, though the industry's robust growth of recent decades is tapering off, analysts said. Cassie Green, owner of Green Grocer Chicago, says her sales have been flat in recent months, following a period of steady growth when the store opened in January. "The same amount or more of people are coming in, but they're buying less," Green said." - FFing Enigma (aka Tina) from Bookmarklet
This is sad. Food should be the last thing people cut corners on. - Jason Wehmhoener
+100 Jason - William Harryman
hmmm... wondering if the piece of pizza that i just had for lunch was organic... Nah, I doubt it. - Thomas Hawk
The thing is, people want organic food, but they want that organic food to look just as good as the pesticide-dosed stuff that they see in the major chains. I just spent the weekend picking olives at my father-in-laws farm, and they were 100% organic, and almost all spotted, malformed, with little holes from insects laying eggs.. you get my point. They'll all go to making extra-virgin olive oil for the family, so they don't care, but when was the last time you saw a malformed olive at the store? - Sean
Unless you eat plastic, all food is organic. I raise 100% all natural (small o)rganic beef - without hormones and on pasture. But I don't care to pay for the government-required fees to I can put a label on it that says so. When people are buying "Organic", they are just saying "government approved". - Robert Worstell
@Robert I agree - for instance, those olives that I mentioned can't be marketed or sold as "organic" because the father-in-law won't pay for the 5 years of analysis and inspections that are required. Pointing out that the olive grooves are on a remote mountain in the middle of nowhere and have been in the family for 3 generations doesn't cut it.. He visits the grooves twice a year - once in Nov to see how the olives are doing, and once in Dec to gather them. Can't get more organic than that! - Sean
Robert and Sean, that's why it's important to know where your food comes from. I grow my own lettuce, I know it's organic because I use naturally occurring pesticides and fertilizers, but it could never be labeled as such because of the licensing requirements. Ditto for the locally grown food I buy. Unfortunately, though, most people don't go that route. They either by (big O)rganic from a store, or pesticide and fertilizer ridden from the same store because it's cheaper - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
you can grow your own, it's easy if you follow a few simple instructions, use a good soil mix, and good seeds, especially if you have a bit of land, ie lawn. - ernie yacub
You make a good point about people expecting too much perfection, Sean. - Kamilah Gill
Costco has become a place to find affordable organic foods - I get peanut butter, frozen blueberries, fuji apples, and sometimes grapes, spinach, and other produce there at a reasonable price, which kills me because I would much rather shop local merchants/co-ops - William Harryman
The news isn't exactly surprising. In a slow economy, price becomes the only factor most consumers will consider. But an interesting article, thanks. - Steven Cains
I still buy organix! Think about your kids, people! - Clay Newton
I totally hear you folks on the subject of small o organic and the costs of government approval. particularly onerous as the actual standards are whittled away. So much better if people just grew their own. Regardless, buying pesticide laden food from nutrient depleted soil just isn't a viable option from my perspective. - Jason Wehmhoener

Akiva, it's really all 80085 that are required to explain it. - Josh Haley
DAMMIT HALEY [shuffles away embarrassed] - Akiva Moskovitz
Salma's beauty is unquestionable but beyond that her crowning moment was Frida. That was a great movie. - Mark Krynsky
lucky Selma and whoever she ends up with next... I'd love to be shaped that way without the need for massive surgery. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

I wasn't that hungry, but a free bagel is a free bagel.
never turn down free food. From Dublin to Rajastan, New South Wales to Sicily, that's always been my trusty motto! - Sean
That is a great motto to go by and one that I hold dear. - James Ferguson

Wow, Mike - thanks! Here I am thinking, "oh, goody, Mike's list is out" reading along and hearing about some people I don't follow yet and, well, hey, whaddaya know, there I am. Criminy, I gotta post some of those half-written blog posts languishing on my desktop. - Laura Norvig
+1 for Zee, Morton, and Mike Reynolds ... I also recommend Zee's Apps room: http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - some awesome stuff in there. The rest I'm not too familiar with, so I'll have to check them out :) - Tim Hoeck
:) two of 'my' FFers are on the list. That makes me in some way cool - keep it up, you're making me look good! :) - WorldofHiglet
Thanks so much for the mention. I am really honored, and am in great company! - Lorraine Ball
thanks again for the inclusion, very honored! - Adam Singer
Thank you for the mention. This hit while I was away so it took a bit for me to figure out where all the FF love and new people were coming from :) Sometimes I'm slow like that... lol - Leslie Poston
All of you guys rock. Thank you for being such an integral part of the FriendFeed community. - Mike Fruchter
Hutch (in GROWMAP's list) doesn't actually appear to do anything here. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Nice idea for a post, but its all very echo chamber people. How about those outside SoMe to get diversity of info? - Mark Edmondson
Hi MiniMage. You're right. Tamar pointed that out as well. It is just a feed. My mistake. I'm fairly new here and saw their excellent blog content and didn't think to verify they were active too. One good thing about making mistakes it that it does attract more comments. :-) I'm not new to blogging but I still make plenty of them. - Internet Strategist

Given Technorati's problems the past few months, I am wondering what people use them for.
Typically, people state blog search or blog "tracking" and rankings. Are people still looking to Technorati for this? If not, what is being used? What do we really need? - Rob Diana
I've really tried to use technorati, but it's just to flakey. I can't find blogs even when I type in the exact tags use (my own, for example!). - Sean
Rob, there are bloggers (Duncan Riley and me included) who actually rely on Technorati for our money (partly, at least) as their advertising network seems to work better than the blog search tool. - Svetlana Gladkova
Svetlana, that is interesting as I did not know how their ad network was working out. I will keep that in mind. - Rob Diana
I was actually somewhat hesitatnt myself in the beginning but I have to say it is better than I expected. So definitely worth keeping it in mind. - Svetlana Gladkova from twhirl

After ten years of dealing with computers and software full time, I strongly suspect I'll be ready to move to an unconnected cabin in the woods.
Grow my own food, compost my poo, stuff like that. - James (@willia4)
I disbelieve, if you'll pardon my saying so. - Bran Mydwynter
She just put the dare on you, Williams. You need have a bucket of your poo by sundown if you're going to save face. - Paul Reynolds
Well, since I started the statement with "after ten years of dealing with computers...full time", I think that gives me a deadline of mid 2015. Plenty of time. - James (@willia4)
You need have a bucket of your poo by sundown if you're going to save faeces. - Rich
I'll start researching composting toilets in the meantime. :) - Bran Mydwynter

VERY IMPORTANT HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm getting my address list in order for sending out holiday cards. If you'd like one - no reciprocation necessary at all; I just love sending them! - then email me (hedwyg AT gmail DOT com) or DM me on Twitter (hedwyg). Cheers!
If I give you my relatives addresses can you sign my name too? :-) - Todd Hoff
LOL, Todd! - Ladybug Heather
Phew!—for not allowing a robot to send cards for you (https://www.sendoutcards.com/cgi-bin...) :) - Micah Wittman
Oh HELL no, Micah! I use address labels, but every card is hand-signed, and I try to put some kind of personal note in each one, even if it's only a sentence. It takes forever, but it's a big thing for me. - Ladybug Heather
(Bumpity - gotta get the evening/night crew onboard!) - Ladybug Heather
Your a better person then I... Last time I did that, I just created a form and then ran blank Cards through a laser printer. Worked well. - Uncle CW™
Heather, feel like an O/S swap? I'd love to send you a card back, too :) That goes for anyone else! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
That does work well, and I've done that in business settings before. I spent quite a few hours editing and updating my list in Access, and I expect to be printing labels this weekend. Yay, holiday cards! :-D - Ladybug Heather
Bec, I must be dense. What does O/S stand for? I'm not sending my XP media to ANYbody. Not even Scott! - Ladybug Heather
Heheh O/S = Overseas- I'm in Australia :) - Bec Rowe @d0tski
Oh, Bec, it's absolutely not a problem. I have several overseas correspondents on my holiday card mailing list already. We'll just hope it gets there within the twelve days (which only START on 12/25). :-) - Ladybug Heather
Sent you my address at your gmail, Heather! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
In these here lands, even we nonbelievers call it Christmas. ;-) - Slappy Line
I know, Slippy... but after a thread last week about Thanksgiving and holiday greetings and such... I didn't want to offend anyone or make anyone feel excluded. Regardless of what you celebrate, the winter solstice time should be a time of joy. - Ladybug Heather
For me, Christmas is the season to be even more pedantic than usual :-D - Slappy Line
Heehee - I know what you mean. Of course, it isn't Christmas YET, merely Advent. :-P - Ladybug Heather
Okay, I think you just about won that round Heather! lol - Slappy Line
LOL @ Todd and Slippy. We may have to take up a collection for Lady Heather to pay for all that postage! - Internet Strategist
Heh. It's hardly a gift it I take up a collection! - Ladybug Heather

The Invisible Twitter Expert - http://technosailor.com/2008...
that said, the guy has certainly promoted himself today! all publicity is good publicity, no? - Sean
Sean, publicity is generally a good thing, but he is being positioned as an idiot. That is when the "all pub is good pub" thing falls down. "Bad pub" can be turned into good pub, like what the Ford CEO is doing. In the social media world, being called out as an idiot will rarely lead to good prospects. - Rob Diana
Except that his clients very likely don't know much about social media and just see the headline figures. Of course, if the idiot tag leaks into his google search results, that's another matter :) - Sean
