Should People Kill Their Blogs in Favor of Lifestreaming? - http://lifestreamblog.com/should-...
AJ Kohn, Meryn Stol, Ho John Lee and 16 other people liked this
They both consist of a series of online written webpage messages, often including comments, an RSS feed, trackbacks, and categorization. If a lifestream includes all the features of a blog, how is it not a blog? Blogging is dead, long live blogging.

No. Do both. Lifestreaming is not an excuse to be lazy ;-)
- Andy Sternberg

Without blogs, lifestreaming would be rather dull.

Feed your blog to your lifestream.

Is there a contest somewhere to see who can ask the silliest social media questions? A blog and a lifestream are two different tools. They can interact with each other, but not really replace each other.
- David Chartier
from BuddyFeed
no.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
it depends on what their blogs are. Blogs are the place to write longer form pieces that simply don't work well in most lifestreaming apps - and I really like longer form pieces. The bitesize chunks in lifestreaming tend to accentuate the superficial too easily.
- felix
Until Tumblr came along, there was no distinction about what a blog should be versus a lifestream. Just because a traditonal blog platform isn't necessarily optimized for it doesn't mean a blog on Blogger or WordPress couldn't be used as a lifestream. Really it comes down to what the content is that is being lifestreamed. So if you want to separate them, fine. And if your lifestream is...

I think most people should. Me for instance, cannot keep my blog updated with any regularity. I guess, in the end that means that blogging (or writing long-form text) was just not my thing. So you are right, that for normal people, who are more "consumers" than "producers", should definitely kill their blogs (I don't know about life-streaming, though) :)
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Isn't blogging part of one's lifestream? Lifestream is a sum of your activities. Blogging is one of your activities.
- Matt Soreco
I now use my blog to publish new content, lifestreaming for links and personal updates. Makes my life easier.
- Tommy Keene
Do both. I agree with feeding your blog (referring to a blog that is about a specific area of expertise) to your lifestream and letting your audience choose which one they would like to follow. It depends if your audience is interested in only your specialized content and not necessary curious about your personal life or opinion on other topics.
- Mike Smith
I can't. I have way too much to talk about! :)
- Cyndi ~ @muchmorethanmom
I think it's a sad state of affairs when people want to talk about whether or not they should "life stream." How about just living your life and getting over yourself?
- Dawn
Dawn, Lifestreaming isn't always about being a narcissist although many use it that way. It's also about the power of curating the vast content of the web to share with others. And for the record for those that may not have read my post. I disagree with killing your blog.
- Mark Krynsky
Mark, ignore that. REALLY.
- Kamilah Gill
I only lifestream (through FF). My Friendfeed is also used as the closest thing I have to a regularly updated blog. It's a combo of both, but more lifestream. I want to republish it in paper form. I recently stopped keeping up the paper journals I had written daily for about 15 years in favor of recording everything electronically. Lifestreams probably won't kill blogs. Other stuff will.
- Kamilah Gill
I'm one that finds it simpler and less engaging to use a lifestream versus a blog. However, I guess it would also depend on how much content someone actually needs to write. For short submissions lifestreams are great, but I can't imagine trying to frequently read 500+ word posts on FriendFeed.
- Xavion Saltair
Xavion, what makes reading a long post in Friendfeed more difficult than on any other platform?
- Mike Chelen
No. Some folks like "broadcasting". Others like "publishing". Others like streaming. All converge here. And use varies according to purpose.

- Deano @ Byron New Media
let me make a simple statement... whatever agency, analyst, outside consultant or internal employee who decided that any number of followers should be a metric used for hiring, should be fired immediately. I know you like pushing BB Jeremiah but this should be something you should clearly come out against. I could get 250 followers in 10 minutes. Here's my new tagline "Followers are the new hits." <- will do a post after my "rss subs are the new hits" from last year.

I agree Allen, followers isn't the only measurement of success. Good thing they had a long page about other requirements.

Jeremiah: Followers should not be a measure of success. I could friend 2,000 people today and have 300-400 people follow back with cheesy "auto follow". You really think followers should be considered at all?

This is approaching a similar situation I observed before launching DataPortability Project - everyone saying the same thing but no one saying it definitively in one place - A group of industry people should declare the Personal Recommendations world HERE and define some criteria for recommendations (topics/interests/friends/influence within your circle (not popularity) etc

- Kenny
if i go to the username link while im signed into my account then it doesnt give me an option to change the group URL
- Jason Pollock
I think its best to choose something professional such as your name instead of something stupid, shame had to be less more then 5 characters otherwise I would of chosen my first name!
- Liam Daly
hey I got full name with a dot in the middle and it works without it as well, neat. :-)
- Project Glow Guy
Facebook is just telling me that I picked my URL because I did for my personal page but havent for my group

- Mike
http://facebook.com/forian (shameless plus) :-)
- Michael Forian
Hey Allen! I'm pissed off that I can't keep my username as I always do (just plain "orli") :(
- Orli Yakuel
It ignores the period, firstname.lastname is the same as firstnamelastname, just like Gmail!
- Gary Etie
I started a thread to share people's new Facebook URLs but Scoble's gets almost a 100 responds. At least I got http://facebook.com/vinko
- Vinko
Mike: you can't. I have an account that I haven't gotten one yet on.
- Robert Scoble
if you locked one in, Mike, then when you go to pick, it will show your name instead of choices.
- Kathy Fitch
firstname.lastname is a respectable username i think, especially if one or the other is not available
- Matthew Arata
isnt it better to not put a . between ur first and last name?
- Jason Pollock

- siyahrenk
http://www.facebook.com/bacon is still available. :)

Glad i locked in my all but common full name. :-)

Yeah Orli, why did Facebook restrict the username to 5 characters or more?
- Vinko
nice Robert. Too bad I cannot change mine now. damn.
- Ted Bradford II
not fond of the dot, either, but whatever. It's FB, people.
- Kathy Fitch

- Kathy Fitch
shelisrael and 1938media were both available a few minutes ago

- Mike
i still cant figure out how to now change my group URL link.. i have over 1000 members in there but the facebook.com/username link tells me i already changed my URL, which i did for my page but not my group page.... any thoughts anyone?
- Jason Pollock
Ben: You are right, it looks like Facebook gives you both FirstName.LastName and FirstNameLastName.
- Rolf Schewe
Jason: when you choose a FirstName.LastName or without a dot Facebook reserve the other for you.
- Vinko
rssisdead is still available.
- Robert Scoble
I would guess these facebook usernames are still available @iamdiddy, @iwaspuffy @thehusbandofmrskuchner @lartykinglives @mr_spock just t
- derikp

- Kashif Khan
"google" is still available.
- Michael Forian
I like that they prevented brand new accounts from grabbing names. Good decision FB.
- KyleHase
Firstinitial.Lastname also resolves to FirstinitialLastname ...EDIT: in fact, it seems that you can insert arbitrary and multiple periods anywhere and it will resolve to your periodless name, much like a GMail address.

- Kathy Fitch
Michael: I am just seeing if some fun names are available.
- Robert Scoble
Wonder if this tread will be longer than the Laporte/Arrington one.
- KyleHase
Why did they suggest "."s if it was going to ignore them? Wouldn't it have made more sense not to allow "."s?

ooohhhh--love the book snowcrash. The robot doggie makes me cry every time.

Robert - how are you checking this since you already secured your name? you must have a fake account for this!! LOL

Yes, going to /whatever is not a good way of testing. If someone has that URL but uses privacy settings it'll just go to your home.
- KyleHase
Kathy: "sighing" is still available.
- Robert Scoble
Yes, I fell for Facebook's massive publicity stunt and got sucked into watching the timer count down to zero so I could get /freddavis... same as I have here on FriendFeed, Twitter (if I ever get into my account again, sheesh!), Flickr, etc. ...and beat out the over 2,000 other Fred Davis's in the US... (sorry Redskins fans)...

- polou/indigo_bow
Robert - say you weren't all connected and stuff and already had your name reserved, would you take /Scoble or /RobertScoble ?
- Matthew Arata
Robert, I hope you got Scobleizer.

- Kathy Fitch

- Robert Scoble
failwhale gone
- dthree
So is Facebook doing the "verified names" like Twitter?
- Jorge Escobar
I should have gotten "sidneycrosby" or "kobebryant" just to get a zillion hits over the next few days.
- Kevin Mohr
I agree, kathy. I went right for dthree, not my real name
- dthree
StephenPickering wasn't hard but there is a guy in Australia who's going to be pissed at me
- Stephen Pickering
Matthew: I registered "Scoble" for my son at 9 p.m. So that's the answer. I already had RobertScoble saved by PR. But I probably would rather have "Scoble."
- Robert Scoble
This says it all: http://www.facebook.com/help...
- Melanie Reed
Robert: By registering "for my son" do you mean you logged in as him and picked that name?
- Ken Sheppardson
Pantalaimon
- Kathy Fitch
Ken: yup, I called him and he was at the movies so he gave me his password. Very trusting for a 15 year old.
- Robert Scoble
a shapeshifting daimon--but not easy to pronounce.

He'll change his password tomorrow!

could it be that the small caps twitter and not the big caps Twitter is available?
- polou/indigo_bow
toptwitterer is still available. So is topgeek. Jorge, remember that I'm using the tool where you can register them. That's the only way to really check.

good lord, it's just facebook, the internet equivalent of the yellow pages. Just take your real name and be done with it. This is all the excitement of filling out a change of address card at the post office.

Robert - how many names are you going to check - I got mine.
- Robert Freeze
Change of address at the post office?!! I'm there!!!
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Robert: I'm just having fun.
- Robert Scoble
There are 11 people with the name Robert Freeze on Facebook - I wanted to make sure I got mine the way I have all the other pages
- Robert Freeze
Fun is very underrated
- Stephen Pickering
@Scoble what tool are you using? or it's a private tool?
- Jorge Escobar
I think you have checked a few hundred...
- Robert Freeze
Speaking of which, justhavingfun is still available. So is echochamber. Jorge: I'm just using http://www.facebook.com/usernam...
- Robert Scoble
can you keep checking after you set yours?
- Robert Freeze
http://www.facebook.com/fender is available: for you devious luthiers
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Beware, just because it says "Page not found", doesn't mean it is available. There is a big restricted list somewhere, and I found one (a city name).
- Paul Holmes
Paul: funny, "restricted" is still available.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble, what 's the record for # of comments on friend feed - are you going for the record? BTW - I love friend feed.
- Robert Freeze
halfmoonbay looks like it might be available
- Gary Etie
facebook.com/fail appears to be available, as well.
- Paul Holmes
same with facebook.com/sucks
- Paul Holmes
seoking
- Raanan Avidor
Robert Freeze, I don't think record threads are created, I think they happen. Lots of people try to get one going, whereas Scoble just has the dynamics going at this point in time, and I think he'd agree.
- Gary Etie
Did you notice that somebody got http://www.facebook.com/friendf... - and it's not this website!
- Paul Holmes
Drat. Someone took awesomer
- Joi Ito
hmm, probably friendfeed could file 4 infringement @paulholmes 2 facebook if its not legimate
- polou/indigo_bow
Paul - that's interesting - why would they?
- Robert Freeze
Robert, because they can )register it, that is, not keep it, when friendfeed comes a callin'
- Gary Etie
polou: friendfeed is a trademark, so they will lose that user name if friendfeed cares.
- Robert Scoble
It could be they legitimately hadn't heard of this, and figured it sounded good.
- Paul Holmes
I'm sure somebody at FriendFeed will fill out the form at http://www.facebook.com/copyrig... and /friendfeed will point to the FF<->FB app within a week.
- Ken Sheppardson
robert, but friendfeed can still file to facebook as an infringement of a trademark.
- polou/indigo_bow
This is funny - http://www.facebook.com/mysapce - oops, you got a typo buddy.
- Paul Holmes
I got my name! Go ME! I don't care if anybody likes facebook or not but I really think it's important to have your own name so no one else uses it.
- Sheryl
Another trademark infringement - http://www.facebook.com/iGoogle
- Paul Holmes
Sheryl: Especially when its common :-P Take that 500+ other me's on facebook.
- Project Glow Guy
Facebook will be busy looking with trademarks infringements this coming few weeks!
- polou/indigo_bow
@polou - I know, it's still kind of funny
- Paul Holmes
I tried 2 put a submission 2 my biz name, but the biz number reg was not defined clearly. We have IDs with names and since laws are different in Canada and elsewhere then US.
- polou/indigo_bow
Ben: Agreed. Mine isn't as common but I tried for my first name and it was gone. Good thing I use my full name everywhere. Continuity. :)
- Sheryl
How hard could it have been to prevent creation of trademarked names, without verification from the trademark holder? Easier than it's going to be to straighten out the mess. It's got to be part of the planned hype, with built-in controversy, and ongoing coverage.
- Gary Etie
trademarked is still available.
- Robert Scoble
I'm Zuckerberg, and I'm thinking, how do I force a relationship between celebrities and businesses and FB? Let the world register their trademarked names! Yea, that's the ticket!

The notorious "dot" issue - no need to worry if you are facebook.com/PaulHolmes or facebook.com/Paul.Holmes, or facebook.com/P.a.u.l.H.o.l.m.e.s. - it all goes to the same page.
- Paul Holmes
Paul: Seems dashes work the same way. ben-cooper = ben.cooper = bencooper.
- Project Glow Guy
cool, thanks Ben.

- Jeremy Toeman
So, it has been established, both "."s and "-"s (dots and dashes?) are ignored at Facebook. At Gmail, ".", dots are ignored, "-", dashes are not. At both FB and Gmail, g.a.r.y.e.t.i.e = garyetie = gary.etie. but ≠ g-a-r-y-e-t-i-e, or gary-etie, for Gmail.
- Gary Etie
I just decided to continue in my 12 year old mistake and take iphigenie again.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
It would be getting harder to register firstname.lastname by now (Unless you have a more unique name). After the main one is taken you get reverse name taken lastname.firstname then they start spilling out to using initials which multiplies the amount of people that could also use it. All variations seem to be taken for my name now.

Hannah Montana AND Harry Potter? WOOOOOO!!!
- Mark Bockenstedt
Is this guy the CEO of just the American division? or who is he lol
- Frankie Warren
some of those titles sound pretty good
- Chieze Okoye
HANNAH MONTANA OMGKLSJFLKHAS:GH:LKH
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Love the music
- Ian P
LBP is going to be a hit
- Bwana ☠

- robby

- Bwana ☠
Frankie: He's president of SCEA
- Mark Bockenstedt
video of upcoming games now
- Alfredo
OMG! HANANANANANA MOONOOOTTTAAANANANAAAA!!!! I can't control myself.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Motorstorm, I don't know
- Bwana ☠
LBP = Yes Please.
- Chieze Okoye
hahaha Mathew
- Bwana ☠
I can't speak for the "tweens"
- Bwana ☠
Huge PSP push
- Bwana ☠
unexpected
- Bwana ☠
yea, maybe the slim PS3 was a fake
- Ian P
is the screen bigger on the psp go? or the same
- Alfredo
They want more games developed for it.
- Aaron Hood
This is really the year they have to get the PSP out there.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
smaller
- Bwana ☠
smaller screen, but it costs more....hmmmm
- Alfredo
slim PS3? still possible Ian
- Bwana ☠
Go screen is 3.8"
- Mark Bockenstedt
soul calibur on PSP = also yes please
- Chieze Okoye
I'd prefer a price drop
- Bwana ☠
Alfredo - yeah, because smaller never costs more...
- Bwana ☠
that was sarcasm btw :)
- Bwana ☠
It cost more because of the tech in it.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
waaatt?!? Fat Princess on PSP?
- robby
A price drop would be awesome the more the merrier on the PS3 platform.
- Aaron Hood
omg!
- robby
A Mouse game?
- Brendan Mclaughlin
big PSP push
- Bwana ☠
wow
- Bwana ☠
omg pink psp *screams*
- Alfredo
hugeeee
- robby
Not pink, lilac. ;-p
- ronin
lol @ lilac
- Bwana ☠
is Sony actually making money on the PS3 yet?
- Mark Bockenstedt
rock band unplugged looks good
- Alfredo
The only things keeping me from getting a PS3 is the price and the fact that I don't have an HDtv.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
PSN news
- Bwana ☠
probably not.
- Alfredo
if they add Netflix, I'm goign to run to LA and kiss Jack
- Bwana ☠
ooh, does Rock Band Unplugged do the track switching thing a la Frequency/Amplitude? Nice throwback!
- Chieze Okoye
haha
- Ian P
Yeah, but no accelerometer, no touch, no cam... It seems like technically, it is behind the times a s little bit. Its not like there are changing the platform to push more polygons or whatever.
- Darrell Bell
from twhirl
Playstation Network stats now
- Alfredo
PSN isn't bad
- Bwana ☠
it isn't great either
- Bwana ☠
the store is actually packed
- Bwana ☠
PS1 classics in the PSN
- Mark Bockenstedt
FF7...
- Bwana ☠
that could be pretty sweet
- Mark Bockenstedt
FFVII
- Brendan Mclaughlin
that won't sell </sarcasm>
- Bwana ☠
Bwana, my thoughts exactly.
- Aaron Hood
heh
- Bwana ☠
I wonder if you can plug a PS3 controller into this using bluetooth, and then play it on the TV
- Ian P
I'm in Home now
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
BOO! FFVII!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
it has grown bigtime
- Bwana ☠
If things were free I would use HOME
- Dakota O'Neill
I almost started a club
- Bwana ☠
I was going to get my 1st game console this year
- Ian P
video now
- Alfredo
But I am torn between PSP and PS3
- Ian P
PS Home... Really?
- Darrell Bell
from twhirl
i hate this commercial
- Bwana ☠
they loop it in Home
- Bwana ☠
PS Home Video now
- Alfredo
Old video?!
- Dakota O'Neill
yes old video
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Chieze Okoye
old
- Ian P
old like a month old
- Bwana ☠
but still old
- Bwana ☠
move on...
- Bwana ☠
heh
- Bwana ☠
so far nothing super duper great Sony
- Bwana ☠
Can someone explain the difference between Home and 2nd Life?
- Darrell Bell
from twhirl
moar shiny please
- Bwana ☠
Home doesn't suck
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
PS3 Video now
- Alfredo
Geez how many videos
- Ian P
all about content... does that mean no hardware heh
- Frankie Warren
GOW3?
- robby
I really need to go to the toilet, but i don't want to get up now
- Brendan Mclaughlin
PS3 videos now!
- Dakota O'Neill
they got 20 minutes to kill
- Bwana ☠
Home sucks - I'm sorry
- Darrell Bell
video showing upcoming games
- Alfredo
oh yeah, totally forgot about White Knight
- Chieze Okoye
Lets see some Heavy Rain / FF13/Versus
- Dakota O'Neill
I love home...great way to launch games... mini games to mingle with... and new areas every other week
- Bwana ☠
It's not a "game" like people want it to be
- Bwana ☠
oh yeah, the Jack Black game
- Chieze Okoye
it's just a springboard...on crack
- Bwana ☠
what game is that with black jack?
- Alfredo
Brutal Legend
- Aaron Hood
Does it support Warhawk now?
- Mike Smith
There is a SAW game
- Ian P
SAW game?
- Brendan Mclaughlin
yiikes saw
- Frankie Warren
I'm sorry - Sony, has done nothing to change the fact they got their asses kicked my M$ yesterday. PSP Go is not going to cut it this year when it comes to innovation.
- Darrell Bell
disagree
- Ian P
what's up with Saw the game??
- Chieze Okoye
What'd Microsoft do?
- Frankie Warren
I am not seeing a lot of original IP in this video
- Darrell Bell
um, Microsoft doesn't have a portable unit Darrell... it's kinda Apples/Oranges
- Bwana ☠
Project Natal
- Alfredo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Saw game
- Dakota O'Neill
I think that Sony is bringing something to the plate with the new PSP
- Ian P
PSP Go is a direct competitor for Nintendo
- Bwana ☠
MS came out with full body motion called project natal
- Alfredo
who is kicking everyone's butt
- Bwana ☠
uh, dude, Uncharted 2 footage alone made this presser as good as MS.
- Chieze Okoye
Why is it that the Sony threads always bring out the console wars
- Bwana ☠
Wait - Shooter - I would enjoy that game
- Darrell Bell
800-car GT on the PSP also.
- Chieze Okoye
every single time
- Bwana ☠
anyone else's feed crap out?
- Mark Bockenstedt
Bioshock2!!!
- robby
Mines is still going
- Brendan Mclaughlin
nm, just a hiccup
- Mark Bockenstedt
lol @ Bwana, yeah
- Chieze Okoye
Was that DCU Online?
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Bryan - keep in mind, 360 has a year head start
- Bwana ☠
video over now
- Alfredo
and really Project Natal looks interesting, but let's be serious, Natal = EyeToy+
- Chieze Okoye
Microsoft is in a different stage of their cycle
- Bwana ☠
and it's a huge benefit
- Bwana ☠
Can PC gaming keep up with these new revisions
- Ian P
anyway
- Bwana ☠
there's that word again
- Alfredo
back to the keynote
- Bwana ☠
geez man
- Bwana ☠
ooh, exclusive from R*
- Chieze Okoye
sweet logo
- Mark Bockenstedt
CAN WE PLEASE JUST TALK ABOUT THE KEYNOTE AND LEAVE CONSOLE WARS ELSEWHERE
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Ian P
We had a good Microsoft thread
- Bwana ☠
i like the screen.
- Alfredo
We had a good Nintendo thread
- Bwana ☠
Agent for PS3, sweet!
- Dakota O'Neill
DONT RUIN THIS ONE
- Bwana ☠
+1 Bwana
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Assassins Creed 2 PS3
- Dakota O'Neill
ok, Bwana, point taken.
- Chieze Okoye
That reminds me, I need to unwrap and play AC1.
- ronin
assains creed
- Ian P
Agent Demo now
- Alfredo
maybe AC2 will live up to the potential. AC1 was kinda dry and uni-dimensional
- Mark Bockenstedt
I'll be honest, i kind of gave up with Assassins Creed. Very Repetitive
- Brendan Mclaughlin
no, it's AC2
- robby
AC1 got repetitive and boring...
- Frankie Warren
Bwana... I thought E3 was the place to show innovation, and to show people can expect for the next year. Remixing the PSP vs creating a new gaming paradigm. Well, I know you think its and apples to oranges type of thing, but I am not seeing it Sony this year. *shrugs*
- Darrell Bell
wait it's not Agent. AC2 :P
- Alfredo
though ganking people from behind is fun.
- Frankie Warren
Darrell - point taken. Move on pretty please
- Bwana ☠
Sorry - just saw your note about consoles. *sinks head*
- Darrell Bell
yea guys lets just chill out
- Ian P
Wow look at that

- robby
AC2 looks cool. Italian Renaissance is an interesting setting.
- Chieze Okoye
Picking up the enemy was quite awesome.
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Wow this is very pretty
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
This looks very impressive
- Ian P
I'm super looking forward to AC2 now.
- Aaron Hood
whyd he stab that guy haha
- Frankie Warren
that flying machine wasn't very stealthy
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Bwana ☠
because he might've been the assasin
- Alfredo
aha sick jump and stab!
- Dakota O'Neill
h snap
- Bwana ☠
That was nice
- Brendan Mclaughlin
oh SNAP
- Bwana ☠
double head stab, awesome
- Chieze Okoye
30 weapons?
- Frankie Warren
i'm still not convinced there's any diversity
- Mark Bockenstedt
PSP-PS3 connection to unlock weapons? Awesome.
- Chieze Okoye
stab him!
- Frankie Warren
owned haha
- Frankie Warren
Wow Sony has gotten me very excited
- Ian P
Swim!
- Brendan Mclaughlin

- Mark Bockenstedt
need more shiny Sony
- Bwana ☠
ACII looks pretty cool.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Coming this holiday :(
- Dakota O'Neill
I hope that the tasks that you do for side missions will be more varied. New moves is cool and all, but that's what really wore on me in AC1.
- Chieze Okoye
FF!
- Dakota O'Neill
i'm getting some video hiccups
- Alfredo
viddddeooo
- Frankie Warren

- Bwana ☠
Final Fantasy just seems neverending
- Ian P
lol
- Bwana ☠
FFIII Video now
- Alfredo
I think its a good thing they are taking there time because the demo was really laggy, glitchy, and slow.
- Dakota O'Neill
I mean how many have been made just end it already
- Ian P
just how many fantasies can be the final one? should change the series to Neverending Fantasy
- Mark Bockenstedt
guaranteed hit
- Bwana ☠
everytime
- Bwana ☠
Neverending fantasy sounds kinda mature
- Ian P
even the ones that suck
- Bwana ☠
maybe not the best title
- Ian P
she's hot
- Alfredo
you don't know the history for the Final Fantasy title eh?
- Bwana ☠
i like the afro
- Alfredo
nope never played once
- Ian P
theres gameplay
- Frankie Warren
well Final Fantasy (the first) was supposedly the companies last game title
- Bwana ☠
hence the name
- Bwana ☠
needless to say, they didn't go under after it was released
- Bwana ☠
but kept the title
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Ian P
FF13 Versus!
- Dakota O'Neill
'Fraid I'm unconvinced for FF13
- Brendan Mclaughlin

Haha, they have bought it over again, FF14 will only be avaliable on Ps3
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Final Fantasy 13 isn't even out yet?!?!?!

- Frankie Warren
Exactly Mathew
- Bwana ☠

- Bwana ☠
Hahaha
- Brendan Mclaughlin
LOL
- Alfredo
Beh, online.
- ronin

- Bwana ☠
It sure as hell isn't going to come out next year. More like 2012 at the earliest.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
never been a fan of the FF franchise but I will say it looks pretty
- Mark Bockenstedt
MMO?!?!
- Bwana ☠
looks like it's back to swords and sorcery again (not the hyper future tech business of FF13)
- Chieze Okoye
So it's the FFXI sequel
- Bwana ☠
"So there's one that didn't leak eh"
- Brendan Mclaughlin
and it's over
- Bwana ☠
Its an MMO!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Motion control gaming!
- Ian P

- Ian P
FFXIV Online coming 2020

- Mark Bockenstedt

- Dakota O'Neill
the hell is that?
- robby
That does not look like a controller
- Ian P
looks like a......
- Bwana ☠
My thoughts exactly
- Brendan Mclaughlin
uh that looks dirty
- Alfredo
I am not going to say what that looks like.
- Darrell Bell
lol
- robby
like a .....
- Alfredo
It's also got 3 speeds of vibrating
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
A HAHAH
- Ian P
it looks like a.....
- Bwana ☠
uhmm li a ....
- robby
it looks like a.............. FAILURE
- Bwana ☠
...microphone
- Ken Sheppardson
Omg i can not stop laughing
- Ian P
WTF
- Bwana ☠
it changes color?
- Alfredo
Why would they do that
- Ian P
im seriously lolling
- robby
It looks like one of those mechanical suckers.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
WTF
- Bwana ☠
look at me i'm swinging a lamp
- Alfredo
haha
- Ian P
Frack me
- Bwana ☠
A floating $%&*@#
- Ian P

- Mark Bockenstedt
Seriously, they can't keep that.
- Brendan Mclaughlin
lol
- Mark Bockenstedt
"it's still hard"
- robby
"it's still hard"
- Mark Bockenstedt
NO
- Bwana ☠
NO NO NO
- Bwana ☠
ahahah
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Lol "its hard"
- Dakota O'Neill
LMAO @ hard
- Darrell Bell
lmaonade
- Mark Bockenstedt
OMG sony why???
- Ian P
WHAT DID HE SAY
- Alfredo
Looks interesting.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
ITS HARD
- Ian P
Well, this is more casual...
- Brendan Mclaughlin
AHAH stop sign!
- Dakota O'Neill
"large ones"
- robby
TWSS
- Ken Sheppardson
hahahaha
- Frankie Warren
his son loves it too
- Mark Bockenstedt
this is cool tech
- Bwana ☠
"Weapons are always god, 'specially large ones"
- Brendan Mclaughlin
but MAN
- Bwana ☠
Nice.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
big swords
- Alfredo
hahahaha
- Bwana ☠
Just.. don't.. put it.. in.. your mouth..
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
hahaha fan
- Alfredo
all things considered, this is pretty damn neat
- Mark Bockenstedt
This is really cool but seriously they need a design
- Ian P
I'd like to see some practical examples
- Bwana ☠
Hahahaha
- Brendan Mclaughlin
I feel sorry for these guys...sitting in their rooms last night watching the Microsoft show and knowing that they were going to have to show THIS thing today
- Eric Thomas
AHA foam dart
- Dakota O'Neill
This is the best tech demo from the press conferences.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
all the weapons make it look a little better
- Alfredo
Casual experiences
- Ian P
This is basically like an alpha demo
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Doesn't count until there's a lightsaber.
- Ken Sheppardson
ohh
- Bwana ☠
Wow that would be sick in cod
- Ian P
ok
- Bwana ☠
"We expect lots of great casual experiences"
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
they flew those guy in yesterday after the M$ conf. // Sorry Bwana, but they look so taken by surprise. // Looks promising though.
- Darrell Bell
This probably will not be out for like two years if its in a "alpha demo"
- Dakota O'Neill
I see potential...looks very early though
- Bwana ☠
OH WOW, a whip?
- Brendan Mclaughlin
a light saber whip?
- Bwana ☠
This is pretty cool
- Ian P
hahaha lightsaber whip
- Alfredo
That was a non-Lucas licenses glowy thing ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Looks promising, but yeah, too early to show.
- Chieze Okoye
That is what the hell I'm talking about. This changes the way you can play games. This is what Nintendo tried to do.
- Aaron Hood
That looks quite cool
- Brendan Mclaughlin
wow
- Bwana ☠
it would be nice if they incorporated rumble with those controls.
- Darrell Bell
Awesome!
- Ross Miller
that is very impressive
- Bwana ☠
"sub-millimeter accuracy"
- Ken Sheppardson
Lol
- Dakota O'Neill
I was expecting "Rick Roll"
- Brendan Mclaughlin
that's some good precision
- Bwana ☠
ooohhhhhhh
- Bwana ☠
nice precision
- Alfredo
yeah, the tracking is pretty awesome.
- Chieze Okoye
this beats the MS Paint crap
- Alfredo
great tech.... very early
- Bwana ☠
accurary or precision?
- Ken Sheppardson
I can't spell today
- Ken Sheppardson
That was cool.
- Dakota O'Neill
oh nice
- robby
good tech
- Bwana ☠
from rts to fps
- robby
Thats nice
- Brendan Mclaughlin
oh wow, this would be a nice tool for RTS.
- Chieze Okoye
nice
- Alfredo
so that 10 year cycle will come in handy
- Bwana ☠
this will probably rock in 3 years
- Bwana ☠
Hopefully it goes better then the Wii did. / Sixasis
- Dakota O'Neill
Wow, there really isn't any innovation coming from Sony at this E3 </sarcasm>
- Aaron Hood
The guy appears to be quite relaxed, compared to the serious faced other guys.
- Brendan Mclaughlin
This is really sick
- Ian P
yeah, this is good for the 10 year cycle of the system.
- Chieze Okoye
sony's future right here
- Bwana ☠
I have to admit I haven't used a Wii... :-/ I take it this is better than their tech?
- Ken Sheppardson
star throwing nice
- Alfredo
looks familiar?
- robby
the archery demo is fricken awesome
- Mark Bockenstedt
nice shot lol
- Mike Smith
Wow the archery is amazing
- Ian P
Thats better that Nintendo's Wii sports plus
- Brendan Mclaughlin
archery ftw
- Alfredo
gangster style, lol
- Chieze Okoye
Nintendo PWND!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
hahaha he did a back flip
- Frankie Warren
so this is the year of motion controlled games?
- Darrell Bell
headshot
- Alfredo
I love that unlike the Wii this thing doesn't have wires attaching to each other or the PS3
- Dakota O'Neill
the kit is probably hella expensive whenever it comes out
- Mark Bockenstedt
Headshot!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Yes this is the year of motion control games
- Ian P
that was a really awesome look forward. (especially considering how early it was shown)
- Chieze Okoye
This is cool. Both new motion systems have their own unique benefits. Should make for some neat games, and differentiated games for each system.
- invariant - farewell FF
that was a nice demo
- Alfredo
That was a true E3-like demo
- Bwana ☠
glimpse of the future
- Bwana ☠
Spring 2010? Ugh.
- Ken Sheppardson
spring 2010
- Ian P
"See not everything got out"
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Heavy Rain News? :(
- Dakota O'Neill
spring 2010? That early?
- Bwana ☠
that wand looked like crap.
- Richard Lawler
Spring 2010
- Alfredo
Spring 2010 = Winter 2011
- Bwana ☠
LOL
- Bwana ☠
Haha
- Brendan Mclaughlin
lol
- Chieze Okoye
HA
- Alfredo
ENGINEERING DEMO! That's why it looked like crap.
- Aaron Hood
I don't think Nintendo was PWND just yet. Motion + is here now (relatively speaking). The PS3 stuff, has a lot of potential, but it is a ways off.
- Darrell Bell
Mod Nation Racers?!
- Dakota O'Neill
ehh intriguing title
- Ian P
Good! Some new IP
- Darrell Bell
Did Nintendo demo motion tech from a year off, or stuff from later this year?
- Ken Sheppardson
Mod Nation Racers - Make tracks?
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Mod Nation Racers now
- Alfredo
Ken - Wii Motion Plus was demo'd last year
- Bwana ☠
engineering demo or not, it looks like crap. it doesn't work better than the wiimote & motionplus and their demos weren't impressive
- Richard Lawler
Ken... Later this year
- Darrell Bell
I think a mixture of controller and body tracking is better than Microsoft's only body and Nintendo's only controller.
- Mike Smith
Bwana: So we don't really know what Nintendo will have in Spring 2010
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken: More Mario
- Bwana ☠
:)
- Bwana ☠
Lol
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Don't forget tennis
- Ken Sheppardson
mmm Mii + Mario Kart hah
- Frankie Warren
Monkey Butler!
- Dakota O'Neill
i think Sony's tech pwns Nintendo's old Wii controller, not sure about Wii Motion Plus
- Bwana ☠
Mike might be right.
- Darrell Bell
OMG! He mentioned Kid Robot!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Mike, the difference is that Microsoft's tech is full body tracking.
- invariant - farewell FF
what body tracking? it's only motion control.
- Richard Lawler
This is such a better tween game than Hannah Montanna
- Ian P
it's not only motion control, it has controller tracking
- Bwana ☠
looks like Motorstorm meets MarioKart
- Mark Bockenstedt
so it's really a mixture of motion control / motion tracking
- Bwana ☠
this is making me think of Mario Kart
- Brendan Mclaughlin
yes, it tracks the controller - not your body.
- Richard Lawler
The controller tracking is key.
- Ken Sheppardson
e.g. Microsoft was using hand motions as buzzers but pressing a button on a controller would be faster and more accurate IMO.
- Mike Smith
Mario Kart meets LBP?
- Darrell Bell
LBP and Mario Kart had a baby
- Bwana ☠
Looks pretty cool!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
motorstormish
- Alfredo
I'd buy this
- Bwana ☠
uh oh
- Bwana ☠
track studio!
- Frankie Warren
I smell a new addiction
- Bwana ☠
CURSES
- Bwana ☠
Detecting controller position will always beat out integrating acceleration to calculate position.
- Ken Sheppardson
WANT
- Mark Bockenstedt
I hate these guys...
- Bwana ☠
I like that
- Brendan Mclaughlin
omfg hahah
- Frankie Warren
taking away my life
- Bwana ☠
I'd spend days in this
- Bwana ☠
that looks pretty cool
- Alfredo
so they're going to little big planetize everything?
- Richard Lawler
Changing the tracks like that looks cool
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Richard: The LBP model of user content creation? yes.
- Bwana ☠
And it's a good thing
- Bwana ☠
hmm, this looks pretty cool!
- Chieze Okoye
that easy?
- robby
That actually looks good/fun/cool!
- Dakota O'Neill
the track creator is SEXY
- Darrell Bell
nice!
- robby
haven't we learned from LBP that relying on users to make everything is a mistake?
- Richard Lawler
this looks done
- Bwana ☠
Richard: that's your opinion. Some of us enjoy user levels.
- Bwana ☠
nice
- Alfredo
this is impressive
- Bwana ☠
99% of user created levels suck, ant filtering through for the quality ones is hard. You need a great game at the core.
- Richard Lawler
see how they get caught up?
- Bwana ☠
HAHAHa Sheep
- Brendan Mclaughlin
LOL SHEEP!
- Dakota O'Neill
he made a pretty sweet, simple level in like 5 min. that's awesome
- Mark Bockenstedt
actually, I learned from LBP that users can make some crazy awesome levels.
- Chieze Okoye
Sheep!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
me too Chieze - Richard doesn't like them...which is not unheard of
- Bwana ☠
like I said, it's an opinion
- Bwana ☠
If you ignore the 99% suck, sure. That's a fact.
- Richard Lawler
Sold.
- Bwana ☠
I want that now.
- Dakota O'Neill
that was nice
- Alfredo
which I do thanks to the good rating and filtering system. Modnation looks pretty awesome too.
- Chieze Okoye
That guy reminds me of Edward Nortan
- Brendan Mclaughlin
better be out for Christmas!
- Mark Bockenstedt
I saw two games I'm definitely buying today
- Bwana ☠
Needs a better name though I think!
- Dakota O'Neill
haha i will play bwanas levels thats for sure
- Frankie Warren
Super Mario Bros Wii, and this.

The rating system in LBP has gotten better, but at launch it was atrocious and its still not where it needs to be.

gran turismo 5?
- Alfredo
Please give a date for GT5, Sony. I will love you if you do.
- Chieze Okoye
that game was beautiful.
- Darrell Bell
That was just beautiful and the most emotional trailer I have seen.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
also really interested in GT5
- Mark Bockenstedt
Why am I not excited for Turismo anymore?
- Darrell Bell
I'm no longer interested in GT5 after seeing forza 3
- Richard Lawler
can you race through the streets of Italy like that? awesome if so.
- Chieze Okoye
They're never going to fix the AI, physics or do damage right, I thought they would, but they won't
- Richard Lawler
What! NASCAR!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
AND DAMAGE
- Chieze Okoye
I saw Sprint Cup cars in there!

that looked like nsacar

Nascar on GT5

NASCAR - BLOODCLOT!

WOAH! Didn't see that coming!

wow

Nascar and F1? AWESOME. Seriously, tho, give a DATE.
- Chieze Okoye
that surprised me
- Bwana ☠
why, when they can sell you another demo?
- Richard Lawler
GOW3!!!!
- robby
What's the 10 year value proposition?
- Frankie Warren
And here I thought I wouldn't be impressed.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Sony has a LOT of content this year
- Bwana ☠
GoW 3
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Frankie - that the console is good for 10 years
- Bwana ☠
See PS2
- Bwana ☠
GoW3 now
- Alfredo
Fall of Never = LMAO - So true - so true
- Darrell Bell
Frankie - means they don't want to come out with Playstation 4 until 10 years after the release of the PS3 launch.
- invariant - farewell FF
got it thanks
- Frankie Warren
not really invariant
- Bwana ☠
I loved GoW and loved it! But, haven't played GoW 2.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
PS3 came out year 6 or 7 of PS2
- Bwana ☠
lol @ invariant
- Richard Lawler
new GoW footage, cool.
- Chieze Okoye
You're right Bwana.
- invariant - farewell FF
They want games to sell for PS3 for 10 years.
- invariant - farewell FF
what year are we on for ps3 :)
- Frankie Warren
Was that Apollo, btw?
- Chieze Okoye
Possibly alongside a new console.
- invariant - farewell FF
But I would maintain that they don't WANT to release a new box if they don't have to :-).

Exactly Bryan. Launching a new box is an expensive proposition!

the big boss thing is actually your ally (a Titan) in the war to destroy the Gods

March 2010 :(
- Dakota O'Neill
That was awesome!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
had a few sure, but in comparison to the competition? not enough
- Richard Lawler
I hate to say it cause I love GoW, but this doesn't look all that different gameplay wise. I hope Sony will put this team on something new after 3.
- invariant - farewell FF
Sony really impressed me!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Goodness gracious that was sweet.
- Chieze Okoye
Fantastic!
- Parth Awasthi
aaaand we're back to the console wars.
- Chieze Okoye
Microsoft and Sony have brought me in more and Nintendo has pushed me away more.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
now to read posts about how Sony's E3 sucked
- Bwana ☠
That was an awesome presentation.
- Chieze Okoye
lol
- robby
+1 Bwana
- Aaron Hood
this was much better than last year
- Bwana ☠
Really enjoyed that
- Brendan Mclaughlin
I'd give it a B
- Bwana ☠
Keynote OVER
- Alfredo
Aha no PS3S (Good) but wish they talked about other things Heavy Rain, etc.
- Dakota O'Neill
I think that was possibly better than Microsoft
- Brendan Mclaughlin
I thought Microsoft and Sony did well. Missed the Nintendo conference but haven't seen much other than NSMB.
- invariant - farewell FF
I think Microsoft edged it slightly
- Bwana ☠
Well, no new PS3. But a crap load of awesome games! And new PSP!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I give it a B+ or maybe A-
- Chieze Okoye
I give Sony the comeback kid award - I was nervous for them for a sec
- Darrell Bell
Sony A-, Microsoft B and Nintendo D.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
B-
- Alfredo
Nintendo... what are you guys doing!??!?!
- Bwana ☠
they get a B.
- Richard Lawler
lol, 1200+ comments in this thread!!
- robby
Nintendo doesn't care about non casuals anymore
- Richard Lawler
i don't know what they're doing
- Bwana ☠
they (the Big N) might as well not come to E3 anymore
- Chieze Okoye
1200 wow
- Alfredo
I can't even form an opinion anymore
- Bwana ☠
They're getting paid
- Richard Lawler
They leave me confused
- Bwana ☠
Fanboys will argue the whole M$ vs Sony rivalry and who won... However, the loser is clear... Nintendo
- Darrell Bell
Nintendo is doing what it is doing well, but it just isn't for me.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
exactly Darrell
- Bwana ☠
I can appreciate the Sony vs MS debates
- Bwana ☠
my thoughts on keynotes: Sony B, MS B-, Nintendo C
- Alfredo
but Nintendo failed hard this year
- Bwana ☠
Microsoft impressed me most last year. But, this year Sony impressed me the most by far.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Nintyendo is playing an entirely different game, and anyone who hoped they'd come back to the fold should recognize by now that they won't
- Richard Lawler
Perhaps you are right Matthew
- Darrell Bell
argh.. there were 2 sony threads going on. I missed this one
- alphaxion
clearly they're not, which is why it's fairly baffling to me that they keep trying to pay lip service to hard core gamers. Just cut your losses, embrace your new casual gaming fanbase and don't show up at E3 (do your own events, CES, stuff like that)
- Chieze Okoye
lol
- Bwana ☠
2 threads? where is the other one?
- Alfredo
This one was better! :P
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I'm out, got some other stuff to do!
- Mathew™ one of a kind
i gotta do some stuff myself. later
- Alfredo
yup, me too
- Bwana ☠
this "casual gamer/hardcore gamer" split is a bit bull. Casual gaming is where the industry started and they don't have to be mutually exclusive. I'd rather make the distinction "shovel ware" and "games" ;P
- alphaxion
longest lunch hour ever
- Bwana ☠
hahahahahaha
- Alfredo
other thread http://friendfeed.com/garygan...
- alphaxion
Yeah, I gotta get back to making games for these damn systems :-).
- invariant - farewell FF
not to taint the thread, but Nintendo's hardware. I mean, come on man. 480p? I mean, they are so far behind the curve on so much, and M$ and Sony are coming with their own motion/casual experiences. I dunno, somebody is still playing the Wii - I just don't know those people.
- Darrell Bell
alphaxion, you do have a point, but I do think that in the case of Nintendo, they are definitely making the dichotomy between casual and hardcore very stark.
- Chieze Okoye
@darell but graphics are only a small component of the game, not the deciding factor. Take a whirl around the PC indie scene and tell me you need 1080p for a fantastic game. I'll give you a starter - Darwinia.
- alphaxion
in any case, Sony did bring their A game this year. Good show.
- Chieze Okoye
What Nintendo's missing out on without HD resolutions is good video streaming, which may or may not be important for these boxes in the future.
- invariant - farewell FF
aye, it was a good presentation. Some let downs tho... €250 for the PSPgo? bzzzzt no sale
- alphaxion
@alphaxion ... Agreed. I was just drawing a line to say how their hardware is aging exponentially, and they can't compete in the territories that M$ and Sony live. They have planted themselves squarely in the kid friendly/casual box. There isn't room for "Golden Eye" on the platform.
- Darrell Bell
I don't understand the PSP strategy at all. They're going to sell both?
- Richard Lawler
And no way to get your existing UMD games onto the Go, right?
- invariant - farewell FF
and modnation racing seemed like they'd taken spore and trackmania and given it a splash of mario kart
- alphaxion
modnation could be good, but its got to be a great racer first
- Richard Lawler
by that logic, you can break any new IP into existing games
- Bwana ☠
Who is the developer for Mod Nation Racer?
- Dakota O'Neill
I think that modnation has great potential.
- Chieze Okoye
media molecule, @bwana I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. :)
- alphaxion
@Richard... I think they invested too heavily in the 3000 to invalidate that hardware so soon. If they wanted to be more impressive - they would have added more hardware capabilities. If you have a 3000 - there is no reason to buy a GO
- Darrell Bell
Richard, PSP strategy == DS strategy for now
- Chieze Okoye
sell a slightly better variant of the one that's been out that plays the same games of the old one and keep selling them both at different price points
- Chieze Okoye
dunno if they're going to give you a way to import your UMD games to the Go, but hey, who knows
- Chieze Okoye
it's a smart strategy imho
- Bwana ☠
how?
- Richard Lawler
well there's a desktop component
- Bwana ☠
so maybe it's part of that
- Bwana ☠
I think Sony presented the best software, and M$ presented the best platform.
- Darrell Bell
that's a big assumption
- Richard Lawler
I'm not even assuming
- Bwana ☠
there's a desktop component
- Bwana ☠
I hope they haven't DRM'd the hell out of the PSPgo tho, it needs to be "buy once, transfer to any of your PSP's any number of times" (with the PSP's serial being logged against the digital copy so you can track any piracy).
- alphaxion
you can buy games on the PSP or via desktop
- Bwana ☠
and then the assumption
- Richard Lawler
hence the word maybe
- Bwana ☠
Richard, what assumption are you referring to?
- Chieze Okoye
vermind
- Bwana ☠
nevermind
- Bwana ☠
it's more a speculation than assumption to me
- Bwana ☠
didn't they basically say that that's what's gonna happen? Plus I don't think that it's that big of a leap in logic considering that you can do it PS3 --> PSP right now and there is desktop PC software
- Chieze Okoye
@chieze this is sony we're talking about.. these guys never learn their DRM lessons ;)
- alphaxion
lol, true
- Chieze Okoye
Later everybody. Are there anymore major keynotes coming up?
- Darrell Bell
I believe that's it
- Bwana ☠
I know this is the wrong thread, but did Nintendo mention a Super Mario Galaxy 2? http://www.gametrailers.com/video...
- Darrell Bell
yup
- Bwana ☠
Heavy Rain Interview / Game Play!
- Dakota O'Neill
Great thread everyone. Thanks for setting it up Bwana. Did they say when Gran Tourismo 5 is coming out? That game I will need to see more details. I am very encouraged from what I read though.
- Amani
dude GT5 is never coming out
- Richard Lawler
Nope, no date for GT5. I wager that they finally can put more resources on it, since GT PSP looks ready to go this October (Also, FINALLY). The trailer looked pretty awesome.
- Chieze Okoye
If it were comnig this year, you really don't think they'd have mentioned that?
- Richard Lawler
If you're a reallllly good little boy, they MIGHT let you buy GT5 prologue 2 (still without every thing they've promised) in 2010.
- Richard Lawler
Richard, you're not going to change anyone's mind, dude. One game will have the normal and high powered racing of the past games, NASCAR, WRC, Motorcycle racing (still just a promise, no footage yet, I'll grant you), a proven pedigree of physics and speed modeling, 800 or more vehicles (speculation based on GT PSP and Blu-ray disc capacity), damage modeling, videos for car enthusiasts,...
more...
- Chieze Okoye
.....and GT5 Prologue was an incomplete demo that rode on the coattails of its high selling predecessors It's not snark to be realistic about what is in the game and what isn't. Polyphony digital does not deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt when they haven't shipped a game in 5 years, and the one they did, was woefully out of touch with current generation competition. I'm going to play a racer this year, not sales numbers. That pedigree of physics modeling is a joke, it doesn't compare.
- Richard Lawler
I'm not trying to pick a fight, and that's fine that that's your opinion of the game. I'm just saying that you're not really convincing anyone. At least, I don't think so. And while being realistic is not snark, I would say that "if you're a reallllly good little boy..." is (one example -- but don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that all you said was snarky).

No, not a new controller. Wii Motion Plus was talked about extensively last year at E3.

Matthew is right, Wii Motion plus is last year

later today
- robby
Sony Tuesday, 11:00am PDT
- Brendan Mclaughlin
Overall: Underwhelmed and bored. The biggest thing they announced was the Wii Motion Plus, which is too little too late. Adding additional functionality to an already existing controller is not a huge announcement. Also they need new writers, the jokes they made were CORNY.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
right after this? nice
- Alfredo
I love how there has been very little applause thus far.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Hey guys did I miss anything cool, just got back from my final

sean, it's nintendo.

what's next? Twitter?
- robby
sounds familiar lol

Well we know what Sony is going to announce later.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Considered selling mine too. Nintendo games don't have much replayability for me.
- Mike Smith
funny everyone is talking about dusty Wii's.... mine was dusty until I bought Punch Out
- Bwana ☠
There are a few games I want to play. But, overall Nintendo has gone downhill for me. Hell, I even started pirating DS games because of how much Nintendo pissed me off.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I never thought I'd say this, but while watching this I cannot wait for the Sony people... ;)
- Holger Eilhard
LOL
- Bwana ☠
I'm anxious to see what Sony does too...

Im watching G4's justin.tv stream
- Ian P
it has some pretty good stuff
- Ian P
but you know what... tons of people will say Nintendo knocked it out of the park
- Bwana ☠
Super Mario Bros Wii.... that's the highlight for me
- Bwana ☠
mario fans will love it
- jccalhoun
i guess the highlight was mario galaxy 2 and the new mario bros?
- robby
true
- Jeff
sad. After Microsoft's improvement, this is a disappointment
- Bwana ☠
not actually terrible but only new version of the same games and sequal. We want to brand new stuff.....
- Jeff
well it was a recap of last year's E3
- Bwana ☠
well I do
- Jeff

with a couple sequels
- Bwana ☠

Nintendo may have to step it up again soon because Microsoft and Sony are hungry for their market share back.
- Mike Smith
Microsoft is gonna get it if this is it

I love that Bing means "Bing Is Not Google." very creative. Heh.

BORING would have been better as in BOR Is Not Google.
- Alex Scoble
Live is not Google either, doesn't make it any better.
- Brian Schwartz
And that's supposed to be a positive thing? I am looking forward to Wave...now that's Google.
- Troy Malone
Hmmm.
- Kol Tregaskes
I suspect that BIG would have been better.
- Guan Yang
Oh, that is classic. Reminds me of WINE for Linux (Wine Is Not an Emulator).
- Sokkratez
That narrows it down.
- Ryan
Is that anything like GNU's Not Unix?
- Dan Messer

It must have been Ballmer's idea.
- Jared Mehle
I could see that being perverted to things like: Bing is not great, Bing is no good, Bing is now gone, Ballmer is not God etc.
- Andrew Fowler
Guhmshoo++
- Chris Heath
Guhmshoo just showed how little thought Microsoft put in to the name.
- Alex Scoble
They're all hype and no substance. They thought a clever name would get them in the game, and it make them look dumb. I'm guessing Bing is Live with a new name.
- Chris Spizzirri
Are they allowed to even use Google as part of their name? Clearly bing is just an abreviation if this is really the case and I would of thought that would be a no no.
- Simon Wicks
Ballmer Is Not Glad.
- Victor Panlilio
Ballmer is no Gates
- Larry Hawes
could have other variants bing is no good , not gnu either ;)
- bob phillips
And what would be the meaning of WAVE (WAVE Alters Visual Expressions)?
- peter huesken
They probably don't want to use the phrase "to bingle" either. See: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define...
- Andrew Fowler
This goes all the back (probably beyond) "GNU" == GNU's Not UNIX"
- John F. McMullen
@guhmshoo I say we turn it around and start plugging the phrase "to bingle" as /the/ word for the usage of Bing #bing #fail
- peter huesken
TINT Is Not Teco is from 1977 or '78.
- Bruce Lewis
sadly the first thing that comes to mind when i hear "Bing" is Chandler from Friends. I'm sure that's not a good thing either.
- John Wang
John Wang: +1. The next thing I thought of after Chandler was WENUS, which definitely is not a good thing! :>)
- Larry Hawes
I wouldn't be surprised if the next trending hashtag topic will be #bingstandsfor?

- Gerald Buckley
At least it's not "evil" spells backwards.
- Matt Cutts
@Matt lol
- imabonehead
is BING run using GNU software? recursive acronyms FTW.
- Andrew Feinberg
They may have chosen the word hoping that it will be used in the future like google is used today. "Just Google it!" "Oh, I don't know the answer to that question Bob. Hold on for a second while I bing it." =)
- Mike Smith
Chandler BING aka The Dropper
- Joe Dawson
Of course, "Bing" means "jail": http://www.urbandictionary.com/define...
- Matt Furey
And "Bing" is also the Scottish mining term for "slag heap" the waste materials from mining... hmm not sure I'd be wanting that connotation Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Belinda Simcox (Sim)
That actually seems kinda lame. How many good products use a competitor's name in their own? Aside from the Zune, Microsoft's marketing department is one of the worst aspects of this company.

Bingisnotgoogle.com actually points to Google search. Interesting!
- Arpit Dhariwal
it's a nice web search but I honestly don't think anything will replace Google search. It's just too common. People should just move on. What honestly would replace Google as the #1 search engine?
- Toby Howell
It's a little late for MicroSoft to be turning to Open Source-flavored linguistic wordplay for salvation.
- Chris Keene
wow that was good. I think BING = Bing is Not Good.
- Alp
cool!

Bing actual returns pretty decent results, buts its going to take a revolutionary product to displace Google and unfortunately for Microsoft, BING is not it...

corporate gloat and overstatements
- Bwana ☠
instant = 5 minutes if you're lucky
- Alfredo
No Hulu?
- Jeff

- Alfredo
This was like the keynote of never ending surprises. They pulled all the stops for sure.
- Adi

- Alfredo
Eh, I'd give it a B
- Bwana ☠
B-
- Alfredo
MGS and L4D2 were the highlights for me
- Bwana ☠
Project Natal was expected...just not like that
- Bwana ☠
Modern Warfare 2 and L4d2 were about it for me.
- Brendan Mclaughlin
yeah those were good
- Alfredo
Yea, I would say B. I'm sad that they didn't saying anything about MGS4 for 360.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I will say this
- Bwana ☠
Nintendo better watch out
- Bwana ☠
Microsoft is gunning for you now
- Bwana ☠
No more Sony, it's Nintendo
- Bwana ☠
What about poor sony?
- Adi
1080p instant HD was their Sony pitch
- Bwana ☠
sony better have something good tomorrow lol
- robby
the no controller thing seemes kind of dumb
- Alfredo
their hit against blu-ray
- Bwana ☠
which is what Sony has over them right now
- Bwana ☠
I'm still hoping they'll surprise starting with a massive price drop.
- Adi
so which one did they focus on more? 1080p HD? or Project Natal?
- Bwana ☠
I'd say Nintendo better watch out ;)
- Bwana ☠
Project Natal for sure.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
project natal. they barely mentioned 1080p HD stuff
- Alfredo
Microsoft continues to try to take Japan with MGS
- Bwana ☠
deeeep pockets
- Bwana ☠
buying up all the Sony exclusives
- Bwana ☠
Next thing we'll hear about LBP, Infamous, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, God Of War ,and Killzone for 360...LOL
- Bwana ☠
Did they mention anything to do with ZuneHD or XBL integration? I missed the first 25mins.
- Adi
Not a thing
- Bwana ☠
nope
- Alfredo
They announced Zune Video
- Bwana ☠
(rebranded)
- Bwana ☠
surprising actually
- Bwana ☠
I was expecting a Zune show today
- Bwana ☠
Me too. some new XNA releases at least.
- Adi
Right, no XNA
- Bwana ☠
I guess we'll be hearing about that shortly
- Bwana ☠
yeah, it's like Surface meets 360
- Bwana ☠
Thanks guys. You helped me keep up with all the annoucements at work. No streaming allowed.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Minority Report like stuff
- Bwana ☠
I thought that was really cool
- Bwana ☠
and the social part as well...video gestures during a convo
- Bwana ☠
but the Pit stop just ruined the whole demo LOL
- Bwana ☠
@Eruc alright :)
- Alfredo
Yeah, menu navigation is the only thing I can see myself immediately embracing
- Adi
ahaha the pit stop! that was epic
- robby
yeah the pit stop was hilarious
- Alfredo
Atleast they spared us Tripod from last years keynote.
- Adi
what about the elephant part? lol
- robby
Last year's was the worst ..oh man
- Bwana ☠
yeah the elephant was ...um...... weird
- Bwana ☠
hahaha the elephant pose was great LOL
- Alfredo
so Project Natal ...cost?
- Bwana ☠
I'm thinking at least $50 for required peripherals
- Bwana ☠
maybe higher
- Bwana ☠
yea, $50 sound about right
- robby
it's microsoft, kings on microtransactions, they'll milk it as much as possible
- Nick
i mean, what do you need? it's just a camera right?
- robby
camera and sensors
- Alfredo
gotta be sensors for full body motion
- Bwana ☠
if its just the 360 camera...it definitely won't work :)
- Bwana ☠
Now we'll get to see what Sony does for motion sensing with the PS EYE
- Bwana ☠
That card game last year was neat
- Bwana ☠
Whatever it is, it sure looked slick as hell. I really need to see it in person to believe they've pulled that kind of facial recognition and motion gesturing off.
- Adi
We'll see if they answer Microsoft
- Bwana ☠
I just want to know if milo will start crying if you lay into him after a bad day at work!
- Nick
Pit Stop LOL http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets...
- Alfredo
LOL Nick
- Bwana ☠
Verbal abuse Milo
- Bwana ☠
This camera will probably require us to play with lights on during the night which wouldn't be good :/
- Black Dot
Reduces your XBL rep
- Bwana ☠
lol
- Nick
the eye of judgment, yea that was pretty amazing.
- robby
start swearing at Milo and the game will turn to M rating
- Alfredo
heh
- Bwana ☠
Holy moly. Think I'll wait for a recap
- Rodfather
Bwana, will you make a ff room for ea conference?
- robby
I'm watching it here Amani http://e3.gamespot.com/press-c...
- robby
Sure what time does it start
- Bwana ☠
just started now.
- robby
Making thread now
- Bwana ☠
And we're up: http://friendfeed.com/e3-news...
- Bwana ☠
Thank you Bwana!
- robby
My mind map for today's talk to CIOs. What else should I add? Keep in mind got 30 minutes. Dicuss here please:
Colin Pickard, toLga aRıcan, zeroinfluencer and 147 other people liked this
In the room are CIOs from Home Depot, Pepsi, Johnson and Johnson, Prudential, Bechtel, etc.
- Robert Scoble
Also see here: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... for a discussion that we did earlier about what I should tell CIOs.
- Robert Scoble
Theme of my talk is "the 2010 Web."
- Robert Scoble
I don't see XMIND :)
- Tim McDougall
Because of time constraints I'm trying to NOT be comprehensive, but just give a taste of the best of the tech industry innovation lately and what it could mean to their businesses.
- Robert Scoble
ask them how they are measuring all this stuff.
- Brian Watkins
Brian: will do, but in many ways we are too early for measuring. I bet they haven't even heard of a lot of this stuff.
- Robert Scoble
Nice, you popped in Atlassian and Socialtext, good call. Mint though? Bit early isn't it? >> http://www.bloomberg.com/apps...
- Nick Wade
I mean, how many CIOs do you see here on friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
Are ou going to mention backtype or ubervu in the community section?
- dthree
fun stats on why collaboration: http://tinyurl.com/ch83jy
- Carrie Krinock
Nick: that's probably true, but they signed up a million people so are an example of a consumer service that's done well.
- Robert Scoble
David: I might mention them, but I'm not trying to be comprehensive.
- Robert Scoble
I think open standards need a mention since Microformats is now even supported by Google. Automating to extract information from structured data brings great opportunities.
- Burcu Dogan
Analytics
- George Dearing
Scoble: I think you have to have Twitter, they all know it but it has to be there, it is a platform that engages and ties with a lot of what is in your talk
- Lou Paglia
Mobile is way under-emphasized... I think that's gonna start getting bigger and bigger and bigger...
- Joel Haasnoot
Joel: I agree, I could spend 16 hours just on mobile. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert: fair comment re Mint.
- Nick Wade
++Joel completely agree. mobile is bigger than ever now and 2010
- Lou Paglia
Have you added calibration tools for product demos and training ?
- William Lopez
William: no, what kind of tools are you thinking of?
- Robert Scoble
Have fun, remember most people hate sitting in their seats more than 20 minutes, make they get up and down a little. Ask one of them to come up and do pushups.
- Halley Suitt
Halley: um, I'm not THAT brave! :-)
- Robert Scoble
ome emphasis on Web Services - and agree on the Mobile detail required!
- Manoj Menon
Just don't let them challenge YOU to a push-up battle ... no fun, even for me.
- Halley Suitt
could have major topic not about tools but "paradigm shifts", the breakdown of the walls between the enterprise and the rest of the web, 2010 CIOs will contend more than ever with not being able to put four walls around their corporate constituents
- Lou Paglia
I underplay mobile because I could spend hours on just that. Heheh. I have 30 minutes.
- Robert Scoble
Lou: absolutely! That will be a subtext to everything.
- Robert Scoble
Hmm, but mobile is moving more and more to tailor-made-mobile, not just a bare bones version of the website: maybe that's a paradigm shift you could mention.
- Joel Haasnoot
If CIO's aren't careful, paradigm shifts become paradigm shafts, as they take a sudden beating in a marketplace.
- Halley Suitt
there is the issue of "mixed discovery" I am missing; a ping pong of subjects and peoples when you use twitter e.g.; you go from @person to #issue to @ person etc ... - that is a new kind of serendipity; could be used to have new ideas about marketing
- Willi Schroll
You forgot to show the Oprah-fication of any modern technology.
- Pete Barry
I am missing the integration bit ... not sure it really exists yet. The problem is that this is way too many tools for any one company. so possibly just a missing item.
- Oliver Thylmann
@halley they can either be part of the movement and coach their organizations through the changes as a thought leader or many can continue to try to put up "sand bags" and there is where the your term, shaft, will come.
- Lou Paglia
What about Hulu under video? For me it's an important piece. :)
- James Furlo
James: good catch.
- Robert Scoble
I just gave a similar talk here in LA yesterday. My take on it as a former CIO is how the consumer/general internet systems are tackling the problems that have plagued enterprise. From single sign on to data portability, transparency, collaboration and real time communication. They need to start looking at these systems as the model for the new enterprise in 2010 and beyond.
- Jerry Schuman
In cloud, what about development availability, S3, EC2, gist, gnip, the glue movement, shared data center and server resources (there's your Rackspace plug)
- Lou Paglia
Boxee might be a good topic as they are trying to make it a media player with a social web component.
- dthree
Lou: that's another area I underplayed on purpose because I could spend an hour there. Personally it'll lead us down a rathole and keep us from talking about the bigger trends. If they start deploying anything new they'll need hosting and we'll be involved in the conversation then.
- Robert Scoble
David: Boxee is a good one to discuss.
- Robert Scoble
an overall theme is the shift in technology moving consumer to enterprise rather than the other way around. For companies its more important than ever to look at what startups/small biz are doing vs thinking "they'll be using my big system in 5 years".
- William Kapes
Should Boxee really be on a CIO's radar at this point, is convergence of web with the digital home even part of the CIO conversation, should it be?
- Lou Paglia
Sometimes I wonder if CIO's really grok the way the folks they support WORK day to day. Sometimes we're at home w/a crying baby, sometimes on the road w/customers, sometimes in the office. As a sales marketing geek for years, I always wanted to scream, "Hey guys, I'm in a rental car on a frigging windy road north of Portland in a thunderstorm trying to connect to the system to get the new pricing sheet, do you GET my life? Help me out here!"
- Halley Suitt
Are you using MindManager for your mindmaps, Robert?
- Rohit
Lou: good point, gotta stay focused a BIT on business, but the changes in TV do have implications. I just was at Adobe and they are enabling 1080p high def to both browsers and TV.
- Robert Scoble
Rohit: yes, this is done with MindManager.
- Robert Scoble
The ideas behind technologies like Wolfram|Alpha and Hunch
- Mike Smith
Robert - Here's a Mindmeister Mind Map that I've been working on here and there for some time now - I don't have geolocation-centric sites listed, but otherwise, this is a handy look at the social-sphere: http://www.mindmeister.com/maps...
- Enrique Gutierrez
Mogulus in the live video section? And why not other sites, like BlipTV or others, for those who edit and upload higher quality videos that are shareable?
- Ken Kaplan
Since these are CIO's you can talk about how sometimes even "outlaw" technologies can find a place in the modern workplace. There are companies using BitTorrent to push out updates among sites, saves on bandwidth since it goes distributed. But I think the biggest focus of your talk, since its you :), should be the influence of the social and real-time web and its impact. Again, your strength and you've only got 30 mins
- William Kapes
@Lou Paglia, got that right.
- Halley Suitt
Ken: good point. I love Blip. But again I wasn't trying to be comprehensive.
- Robert Scoble
topline think this may be too granular for most CIOs - this group is broad predictions for the path + a few examples. Functionally expand microblogging add Twitter then let niche apps flow from there.
- Carol Lynn Martens
Doesn't LinkedIn apply. There is a lot of professional interaction and the Answers section for mentoring.
- Alan Eggleston
CIOs are going to be most interested in security, and not necessarily hampering the discussion (some will), but rather how they can track what people are saying within the company, and how they can better train those that use social media in the company. At least that was my experience speaking to a similar group of CIOs in Dallas last year.
- Jesse Stay
Alan: I was on purpose leaving out older social networks like Linked In, Twitter, and Facebook. I want to focus on what's disruptive.
- Robert Scoble
not sure if this was asked above...but will there be a video of this, Robert?
- Carlos Ayala
Carlos, nope, sorry. Usually with a small intimate group (only about 20) they want to have off the record conversations.
- Robert Scoble
Unless I missed something there may be a gap in terms of viral video (YouTube, etc), shared image hosting and slideshows, and even presentation sharing (SlideShare, AuthorSTREAM)--with literacy and attention spans down these become key communication components IMHO on two levels -- ease of use (post once link anywhere) and ability to comment and rate to build communities of passion.
- Tom Bunzel
Quick question robert: which programs do you use on your mac and iphone to access friendfeed?
- Rohit
Where is Vimeo?.. Hulu..?
- Oğuz Serdar
What about Evernote in the "Cloud and Collaboration" topic? It's ubiquitous... web, desktop, iPhone, Blackberry, etc.
- Kurt Rosenkranz
Roger that Robert, understood. Thanks.
- Carlos Ayala
Azure, App Engine, Rack Space Cloud, Amazon EC3, etc... Something had to run all those things in your mind map.
- Jeff Weber
Google Apps under both Office and Collaboration
- Scott McMullan
You can tell them: because of the "cloud" most of them won't have a job in 2 years, because of social-realtime web, most of their businesses won't make it through the depression
- Tweet Feeds
I know you're trying to keep the map slim, but: Google Voice, drop.io, and the mention of Evernote on iphone - the snapnote feature (mobile image capture/upload + OCR + desktop, web/feed access).
- Micah Wittman
Say hi you are on screen
- Robert Scoble
Hi CIOs!
- Jesse Stay
Hi everbody.
- dthree
Jesse the CIO of your church says hi!
- Robert Scoble
hi everyone
- Brian Watkins
Robert tell Joel I said hi back - you two should do lunch some time and have him show you some of the stuff they're doing.
- Jesse Stay
Hope you guys blocked out a few hours of your time. Robert kind of talks a lot.
- Jerry Schuman
Hi CIOs, the smarts are moving to the edges of the organization so dust off your resumes, your roles are obsolete
- Tweet Feeds
I think there will be more mixture between real life and online life. Sharing identities & connections will be as common as exchanging business cards right now. And, I predict, you will be tagging real-life objects with your phone (or your My name is E connector) to put them as favorites online. Or to ask for a product sample with one simple motion (thanks to nfc and rfid). So, 'sharing identities / mixing real and virtual' deserves some attention... Good luck!
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
Hi from the Netherlands. Just to point out you need more focus in your MindMap on international collaboration tools :)
- Rene de Vries
Robert, perhaps touch on how they plan to serve the business / marketing side more effectively? Maximize available man hours, evolve prioritization criteria, etc.
- Jeff
Oh. And great to see Wakoopa on the list there. 'You are what you use' is a pretty powerful social indicator.
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
How about adding VMware under Cloud and Communities.
- Shobhana
@Home Depot: I'm no Luddite, but I did not at all like the automated checkouts at first. Now I'm coming around - last week had the quickest turn-around shopping experience at a hardward store that I can remember. Sorry, back on topic now :)
- Micah Wittman
i would add geezeo next to mint and perhaps txtblaster next to tatango
- Allen Stern
Live mesh,live office for collaboration.
- ashish
Nice job, Robert. $1 to first CIO (other than me) from that room who responds to this message. :)
- Joel Dehlin
Joel you're one of the *only* CIOs I know that uses FriendFeed. You've been using it for over a year now I think, haven't you?
- Jesse Stay
from email
Jesse: I think there may be a few other ones onto friendfeed, but I think I might have shocked them with a look at my real time feed. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Joel, nice meeting you, I'll find out the answer to your question. Can you follow me here on friendfeed so I can DM you?
- Robert Scoble
Don't forget about Dropbox under "cloud and collaboration". One of my favorite tools by far.
- Brandon Titus
Under Consumer, I would add a major value and coupon site like RedPlum.com personally as companies like Home Depot and Pepsi can relate to this.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
@scobleizer Awesome mindmap. Why does youtube not make the map under video?
- Kevin Murray
perty, good job much better than a power p prezzo
- sofarsoShawn
Kevin: now that I've given a speech I need to go through and make it much more complete. For the speech I was going for disruptive stuff that was changing right now and that would jog my memory. As it was we didn't get through the complete list. 30 minutes flies by.
- Robert Scoble
like that I could read your mindmap on my iphone - funny though when I saw web 2010 I thought - ah robert is providing a glimpse of the future to disconnected cio's - then realized that's a little over 7 months away - wow time flies :-p
- mike "glemak" dunn
mike: and keep in mind that the car industry has changed the definition of a year anyway. I'm getting my 2010 Prius in a week or two.
- Robert Scoble
true
- mike "glemak" dunn
To adopt any of this nascent social media, there must be an almost immediate ROI. Otherwise, it's nothing more than an amusement.
- Don Bonaddio
D@mn Don! On the noesy!
- Arleen Boyd
Don: there is a lot of money in amusements. ;-)
- Robert Scoble
after reading this thread "better" - there have been many cto's on friendfeed for awhile now, different dna than cio's - justsayn :-p
- mike "glemak" dunn
you covered all that in 30mins? Or was this the handout.
-
