“Getting a surprising amount of indignant email from GM fanboys after describing the Chevy Volt as "neither practical for most Americans nor particularly impressive." The thing costs $60k, reportedly takes 6 hours to charge, and only goes 40 miles in all-electric mode. What would you call it?”

A fiasco and a waste :-). You seem to be right on target, Chris. Or we could call it a small, insufficient and impractical step towards energy independence. - Steve Pribut
A little progress beats nothing. But let's put things into perspective: it's a *little* progress. - Chris Baskind

“how do you get a sponsor?”
3 hours ago - Link
You put a suit on, walk into a big conference room, shake some hands, explain what you are trying to do, listen to what they are trying to do, and then look them in the eye, gulp hard, and ask for them to fund your dreams. If you are lucky you'll hear yes. If unlucky, they'll say no. That's when the real fun begins (I've heard no and yes). - Robert Scoble
Guess its as simple as that. If we are not afraid to hear "no" then we are almost halfway there. - Muthu Ramadoss

Or you can buy a bunch of puppets and make some videos - Mike Doeff
OK, now how do you do it if you are not Robert Scoble... and don't own a suit - Ben Gold
Mike: that only works if Mike Arrington is on your side and does the sales for you. The rest of us will have to work harder than that. - Robert Scoble
get kid and video camera? - Fred Grott
Good point Robert! - Mike Doeff
Ben: I've talked with lots of people who've gotten sponsors and that's pretty much how it's done. OK, OK, maybe you don't need a suit. I didn't wear one when pitching Seagate. - Robert Scoble
The suit works well on you, Robert. Anderson Cooper watch out! - Andrew Feinberg

BoingBoing: It’s our blog, and our rules
8 hours ago - Link
Interesting condundrum around free speech. Free speech continues to be for those who own the press. - Robert Scoble
It's not a freedom of speech issue, since the publisher is the owner of that freedom. The archive's continued existence at the Wayback Machine is like the Times arguing that the copy at my university library is sufficient and they don't have to keep one around themselves, which is problematic at best. Moreover, it does seem to violate the ethical standards set forth by BoingBoing consistently since I've been reading it. Lots of issues around free speech and the internet remain to be resolved, obviously. - steplow
It only serves to remind us that most everyone with a pulpit is a hypocrite. Really disappointing though. I am not a BoingBoing regular, since the material is not always interesting, but given Cory's stance on openness, it's definitely disappointing - Deepak
Sometimes the Collective blogosphere is less mature than Junior high students but then new products emerge and we all get distracted from the petty. - LPH
Another reason newspapers, or at least the newspaper ethic will not die. Print can't be erased. The NYT still has Jayson Blair bylines in its' archives. We do not believe in a memory hole. "It's our blog" does not cut it. - Andrew Feinberg
question why is deleting articles that talk about Violet Blue's writings so interesting as Violet e Blues own writings can be found elsewhere can they not? They did not abridge Violet Blue's free speech as they did not write the articled appearing in BoingBoing - Fred Grott

Dollar Has Dropped 41% Since Bush

Here is a plot of USD against the Euro - http://finance.yahoo.com/echar... - Atul Arora
I guess frequent flyers from Europe spending their Euros in the US made the best out of it. - Nenad Nikolic via Alert Thingy
dont blame bush...blame the us-consumer - krz9000
I'm not going to Like this. - l0ckergn0me
krz9000: I blame the US Taxpayer who doesn't mind us going to war, but won't raise taxes to pay for it. So the treasury prints more dollars and the dollar goes down in value. We get an implicit tax that way. I call this the George Bush tax plan. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
Honestly, I hope I can amass enough credibility and education over the next few years to pay off my impending law school debts and start a family. On the other hand, it looks like that's becoming abnormal for my generation. Sad. - Andrew Feinberg
I'm generally against taxes, but I view Bush's cuts as an illusion. My tax rates may have gone down by 5%, but the value of my dollars decreased by 41%, so in fact it was a huge tax increase. - Paul Buchheit
People wanting better services and not wanting to pay for them is a common theme the world over. - Jonathan Beckett
I blame Bush's economic policy - wait, what economic policy? - Jody Carbone
Spare a thought for foreign bloggers et. paid in Dollars!! (ie me) - john conroy
Bush's economic policy? When the economy's good, cut taxes! When the economy's bad, cut more taxes! And give each person $600 that they'll have to repay--with interest--after he's long gone!! - Oliver Ortega Chua
I recently went to the ICA conference in Montreal, and yes, their prices haven't changed but I realized how inflated our prices have become. A $15 meal in the states is about the same in Canada. Back in my undergrad years that $15 meal would have seemed nearly double the price. In other words, financial reports are true. Dollar sucks and we get roughly dollar for dollar now in Canada. - Philip Ryan Johnson
Imports are something like 20% of the US economy, so a 40% decrease in dollars means that your costs go up more like 8%, blunted somewhat by finding domestic substitutes. (And it's great for exporters.) Of course, oil is a huge percentage of imports and that's painful for all the obvious reasons. - Larry Greenfield
the more I observe Bush and his team, the more I tend to think that Americans shall blame themselves in first place, or not exactly themselves but that WASP church-going majority of "red states" who gave its silent YES when not removed Bush on second term... you just have two countries within one border and afraid to admit that. - silpol
Afraid to admit that? Dude, liberals have been embracing the two-Americas concept for many years now. See the "Jesusland map", or the very notion of "red states", or the interminable handwringing about the "polarization" of politics, or the so-called "culture wars". State lines, or any set of geographic zones, are a bad place to draw those lines, though. The notion that we deserve our government is hardly new, but consider that Bush did not have a majority in 2004. - ⓞnor
The Federal Reserve and the subprime fiasco has been the largest part of this problem. We've been bailing out the banks by continuing to lower interest rates, taking on bad mortgages, and printing more money while the ECB is pursuing the opposite strategy of raising interest rates to flight inflation The Dow is actually below 7000 points if you track with euros since 2001. People naturally want to own euros because they are appreciating while paying higher interest - Chris White
@silpol we didn't know things would turn out this way - the prevailing political rhetoric hides the fact that we still have much more in common than it seems - Marco
blame the us consumer? absolutely not. blame the banks and speculators for dong business overseas and hoarding commodities - Cee Bee
@e3r well, the notion about population deserving it's own government is surely old enough (was it Talleyrand who said that?), may be even older than USA as such... as for Bush having no majority - correct me if I'm wrong, but there were no mass protests in US about Bush being re-elected... and by *mass protests* I mean not few shouters in front of White House but _major_ part of population. - silpol
Atul, your euro-usd chart is for the current day. Here is one over the last few years: http://friendfeed.com/e/fb48af... - Chris White
a Democratic Republic does not elect on majority review your government forms again..lol - Fred Grott
Chris, the URL was right - from a Yahoo! Finance chart. When you click on it Yahoo! Finance resets it to currrent day - Atul Arora
Atul, yeah I figured. I've done that before too, which is why I made a static pic. I just didn't want anyone to get confused and think the euro/dollar was going up and down over time. It's simply the dollar going down. :( - Chris White
Yay for mortgage holders! - Ivan Kirigin
While I'm certainly not a Pres. Bush fan, he's not wholly responsible for this sucky economy. http://davidadewumi.com/2008/0... “Greenspan relaxed all of the lending regulations [after 9/11] and printed money like there was no tomorrow,” ... "As the Chinese central bank disinvested — or took their money out — of the U.S. economy, many nations were soon to follow" - David Adewumi

You said pickle - Erin Kotecki Vest
And he just resubscribed. Point made, I guess. :) - Aaron Brazell
You're Technosailing into the unknown. - Andrew Feinberg
I will give my right arm if you could ah experiment with say the DH asshat of IT next - Fred Grott
Who's that, Fred? - Aaron Brazell
@Aaron: rock on - Dennis Howlett via twhirl
I don't understand the point of said experiment. The only thing that I got was something you wrote awhile back about having a formula and how it gets someone into a "pickle". So what exactly was the experiment? What was the outcome? - Candace Holly
How many subscribers did you gain during the last few hours anyway? - Ben Parr
@Scoble - "liking" posts from people you are blocking doesn't send a very strong message ; ) - Marco
I resubscribed before I saw this video. - Robert Scoble
Robert, thats what I get for only checking email once every few hours. Thanks, by the way. - Aaron Brazell
Ben, a dozen or so. Not many - Aaron Brazell
are you two done now with your 'experimenting?' And if so, can you both help me with this pile of work. awesome. thanks. - Erin Kotecki Vest
The reason I blocked you is cause I don't want FriendFeed to get to the point where everyone is begging for followers like many did over on Twitter. Next time I'll be quieter about the block, though. - Robert Scoble
Point taken, Robert. But if you had been quieter, would you have effectively sent the message? Esp. since I still saw all your posts via FoF... - Aaron Brazell
Aaron: that's funny. I didn't realize you still see my stuff through FoF posts. - Robert Scoble
It does spotlight a flaw in the system. Assuming you know the FF guys/gals/robots you should pass that along. But still, blocking even quietly doesn't turn off the noise, it just filters it. I'm not convinced it's a good longterm solution. I think both our experiments had some merit in their own ways. - Aaron Brazell
All entries by both the blocker and the blockee are blocked, even if they are FOF. If you find otherwise, please give an example and I'll debug. Perhaps the FOF post you saw was after Robert unblocked you. - Paul Buchheit
I suppose it could be as there was a gap of time where Robert re-followed and I hadn't realized it. - Aaron Brazell
Well, this prompted me to follow you, so net you're at least square (if not ahead!) - Sean Carmody
And I followed you Sean, so there! :-) - Robert Scoble

I would get Loic Lemeur to put Seesmic video comments into it. - Robert Scoble

I would not have a fail whale. Maybe a sexy blonde who would say "I'm sorry." - Robert Scoble
I would get Louis Gray to either love it or hate it. - Robert Scoble
I would (will) make it so simple, obvious, really distributed that you'll hate yourself for not being the first to have that idea! :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
get a few politicians, a few business leaders, a few fashion leaders, sports stars, etc - create a net of interest... - james svenson
I would get Dennis Howlett to proclaim that there's no way that Enterprises would use it. - Robert Scoble
Now that is damn funny! - Fred Grott
I would make sure it was designed to stay up and running even as it became increasingly popular. - Abby Martin
I would use Microsoft strategy of "embrace and extend." I would make sure it worked exactly like Twitter with one difference: all the features would work. - Robert Scoble
I would not use Ruby on Rails - Bjorn Tipling
I would make a deal with MySpace to hold secret concerts for people who were on it. - Robert Scoble
I would make sure Facebook blocked it. - Robert Scoble
I would make it a message bus instead of CMS - Fred Grott
Robert, you're clearly having fun. What if I wrote about a company that's already introducing a way to make money off a Twitter-like service by charging to receive messages? - Louis Gray
We could do much better than clone, though. The thing is - they're THERE - no one uses them. Use your superpowers and have Google open up Jaiku and pay people to join! It has the IM feature you adore, right? - Vince DeGeorge
I would call it Twittr. - Hao Chen
Louis: that sounds like a porn service. - Robert Scoble
I would have to seriously question my own sanity. - Ken Sheppardson
I would focus on two-way data sync with all existing services (oh, yeah, and hire my platform architects and operations team very, very carefully) - John McCrea
and then I would sell it to Twitter. - Hao Chen
I would hire John's team away from Comcast. :-) - Robert Scoble
When Google (finally) unleashes Jaiku Next Gen running on AppEngine, this space will get REALLY interesting. - ron k jeffries
I wouldn't. Too many things like Twitter are out there already. It's time for someone to develop something even better so we can all be addicted to that. - Candace Holly
I would seed the service with 100 valuable users - politicians, entertainers, scientists, or whoever else. Content really is King - build the content and the user base will come. - JMaultasch
Cloning is unoriginal. - Andru Edwards
I would make it compatible to all types of mobile - Majento (Sharon Rudich)
Louis: seriously, pay to receive messages? So you can send as many messages as you want for free, but you gotta pay to receive them? That sounds very lame. - Robert Scoble
Andru: cloning might be unoriginal but it often is profitable.Especially if you add some killer new things that the original doesn't have. - Robert Scoble
I would make it work only on iPhone and Android. - Robert Scoble
I would make it location & device aware / sensitive. - Dean Terry
I would only allow fictional characters to join, such as Batman or Darth Vader. And maybe Chuck Norris. - Mack D. Male
I would charge a reasonable monthly fee if you follow more than 500 people. - Mike Doeff
I would match it feature-for-feature with Twitter, clone the UI shamelessly, allow users to import their Twitter messages, and use a flatfile or CouchDB-based storage infrastructure (not SQL-based). - Eric Florenzano
I would make sure I had a day job. - Gabe Wachob
@Robert, I'll write about it soon, and you'll see why this company thinks they're on to something. - Louis Gray
why would you want to clone Twitter? Clone is the WRONG word. Twitter competitor, different kettle of fish. Now that's something I could heart - Duncan Riley
I'd learn from Twitter's mistakes and hire a community evangelist *early* on. Make sure that I didn't plan service outages for peak usage times, make it simple, but make sure that @replies were easily trackable, that blocking was fully functional, that we had more servers and bandwidth than we needed right off that bat and scaled ahead of the need. Oh sheesh, I could go on... - Lucretia Pruitt
I would hire the FriendFeed team - Shey
@GabeW++ - Jason Wehmhoener
I wouldn't bother. It's a niche to begin with, and either Twitter will manage to rebuild and revive itself, or "the conversation" will move to FriendFeed, Facebook, or other place that already has a massive user base. - Jeremy Toeman
If I were to do a micro-blogging / status update service like twitter I would demand that it connected to mobile phones through SMS. That one feature takes twitter from micro blog to mobile social network - and also provides the engine for IM. - Tony
I would poll the @twitter user base and add as much of what they suggest as possible ;) - highcenter via twhirl
I would hire hackers to make Twitter go down...and stay down...and by hackers I mean 8 year olds with calculators. - Mark Krynsky
@Robert, @Louis, I know a company that's doing a Twitter clone that has an even better business model, and already making money off it (and they aren't doing pay-per-tweet - hint, it's a b2b model). They don't want me writing about them yet because they're applying for the TechCrunch 50 but expect to hear about them soon. - Jesse Stay
Now, back to the fun - I would have a kettle with frying fish for my error message. (thanks for the inspiration @duncan) - Jesse Stay

Keep Brazell blocked. It's HOURS of entertainment for me :) - Erin Kotecki Vest
FriendFeed will get a court order from Viacom five years from now and will have to provide your block list to them - Lou Paglia
if you block someone then ewhy care afterwards? - Dennis Howlett via twhirl
Erin: I'm watching Brazell over on the "Everyone" tab and it, indeed, is funny. - Robert Scoble
He's taking it out on poor Dennis. Ahhh, these rage filled tech kids and their ego ways. I think I'm going to fill my reader up with more left wing Obama stories to throw him over the edge tonight. - Erin Kotecki Vest
Dennis: because I'm trying to learn how the software works and think about the impact that this stuff has. - Robert Scoble
And the reaction by someone who has been blocked is that they go nuts and start yelling at you on Twitter. So be careful. :-) - Louis Gray
@louis - so now would be the perfect time... - MG Siegler
You don't want them to show up in your everybody tab either? I rarely look at the everyone tab so I don't think I would care. - Devin Anderson via fftogo
MG: that's funny! Louis: that's OK, because if you yell about someone incessantly because that person blocks you on FF that proves you are off your rocker. - Robert Scoble
"think about the impact that this stuff has" - on what ? (a) on a person, (2) on a views, (3) on others of FF ?? Like what is your thought process on this item and most important is what do you recommend after u figure things out ?? - Peter Dawson
Devin: I don't care about them showing up on Everyone tab. After all, it's called "Everyone" for a reason. - Robert Scoble
sorry the Term Blocked only gets me that Shel Puppet image and sound :) - Fred Grott
I've only blocked two people and have no regrets - everyone else I see is absolutely fantastic. - Vince DeGeorge
Peter: I wouldn't have figured out that I can still see blocked users if I hadn't done this. Obviously I'm sharing what I learn. Also, I want to see how it changes the conversation and what leaks through the block wall into other conversations. I will share if I learn anything interesting. - Robert Scoble
disregard above. I hadn't seen the rest of your comments yet. Didn't understand what you were saying. - Devin Anderson via fftogo
I've never blocked someone, but then again - I don't follow that many people. Curious to know what justifies a block? - Sonciary Honnoll
Sonciary: I wrote a few days ago that anyone begging for followers would earn a block. It got me to block Calacanis for a few days, and now Aaron Brazell is blocked. I also blocked a troll and a jerk, don't need to invite them into my living room. - Robert Scoble
Sonciary, trolling, abusive/ hate posts (we had one of them) are two reasons I've blocked people. Having said that I haven't blocked many people either. 99.9% of people offer a positive contribution - Duncan Riley
Very helpful Robert. I've always wondered what happens... - Mitchell Tsai
Scoble's wrt to "see how it changes the conversation " , yes I agree .e.g if you block some1 , I wont see <Mr/MS-ABX (friend of Robert Scobles) post being made .This impacts "Show best of: day - week - month" algos too ( i think).So the tapestry of conversations is certainly unique as with the view points. No two people can computationally have the same views , at the exact same time /sec. A very different paradigm in terms of conversations, flow and content views - Peter Dawson
and knowing is half the battle. GI joeee - Hao Chen
Funny that Brazell already has seen this cluster, so he's already figured out how to get around my block too. I guess if I really want to punish someone I can't admit to anyone that I've blocked them, because it gets them more attention than if I had just ignored them. Human psychology is so fun to play with, isn't it? - Robert Scoble
Robert, Ducan - Got it, makes sense. I have to say I'm surprised to hear of Calacanis 'begging'. :) - Sonciary Honnoll
@Sonciary Obviously you don't follow him on Twitter :P - Shey
that's my fault. we were chatting. lol - Erin Kotecki Vest
@Robert: When you block someone he still can see your comments - I already reported this to the FF team - directeur via NoiseRiver
Yes playing with Psychology is fun..but you are not suppose to mention names that takes half of the fun out of it :) - Fred Grott

I thought I heard that some people who have been blocked are setting up rooms and adding feeds for the people who have blocked them. Has anyone else heard this? If that is possible then I would consider that a bug. - Mike Doeff
Mike: you couldn't fix that unless you blocked RSS feeds in rooms. Igor the Troll currently does it in his room for Robert Scoble. - Mark Trapp
Erin, I have an adorable pink shirt with the Obama Mama tagline and logo. When's your next show again? I can loan it to you. - Cyndy
@karim this like's for you - Marco
A lot fewer troll-types on FriendFeed than UseNet 1982-1986. We used to make big KILL files with all the people we didn't want to hear. Hopefully FriendFeed stays pretty good. We'll have to figure out what to do if "roving bands" show up like they did in Second Life. - Mitchell Tsai
All of this - and I still can't quite figure out the block feature... but it is fun to watch tonight's game. You can't say he didn't ask for it specifically! :) - Lucretia Pruitt
And what happens when someone with 14000 friends blocks you is that you stil see their posts a FoF - :) - Aaron Brazell
