are you going to disclose the amount? :) - Timo Heuer
Vezquex my blog is listed twice? One may be a twitter stream. To my knowledge it's only listed once. - Jeremiah Owyang
Timo I really don't think that person was serious. I asked for enough for me to not work for a few years - Jeremiah Owyang
Your blog does seem to be listed twice in your profile (FF that is) - Brian Sullivan
It was listed twice, I'm not sure how that happened, I removed the dupe. Thanks for letting me know. - Jeremiah Owyang
take the money and run, their foolish mistake if they don't include you in the deal - clarke
I'm pretty sure you could sell the blog, and then start an online show/podcast and be living pretty damn well. - Ben Parr
Blogs are personal, so what are you selling ?? your past content or throwing your readers under the bus ?? - Peter Dawson
Peter, I think he just wants my domain. Quite frankly, the terms were not clear. I'd just start another blog, readers would come. (this is already my second URL) - Jeremiah Owyang
that's weird. ask me if he'll buy interactiveartists.com - Ryan
Jeremy, only the domian - must be some SEO /SEM strategy :)- sale sale . as high as they will go. but make sure that you get 30day handover period to notify your userland :)- yeah take their money and run .. LOL - Peter Dawson
Weird, you are the blog - if they take it over, what are they going to do with it? - Marshall Sponder
funny stuff ... but I wanted to get off at FF as well ... identi.ca is a station half-built :) or else at least let me off at Kwippy since I just wrote about LOL - Steven Hodson
well you have to pull the cord or something to get off Steven! - Allen Stern
Very creative dialogue. I think I'll just continue a mad hop between the various stations. - possible248
I think so, but I see some kind of marriage between the two. - Mike Lewis
That's happening already, at least since the mass-adoption of Twitter. But I agree with Mike: people are blogging less "quick things", using microblogging for that, and blogging just "extensive thoughts"... - Marcos Marado
I didn't see anyone quitting blogging just for twittering, but I saw a lot of ppl started tumbling instead of blogging... I guess it's the natural evolution of the concept... ps. Is Tumbling the same as microblogging? Or micro is just twitter, jaiku, pownce, plurk, etc? - Alex Barredo
whether it be on paper or virtual there will always be various lengths to reading. From light magazines to heavy books, blogging and micro-blogging will/can co-exist... - Anthony Farrior
Don't think so, microblogging's beauty is its 140 word cap. If u wanna share a really deep insight with well proven points to back it up, u gonna need more than that. - mark
yes, i see people discussing this very topic often. microblogging IS blogging, and better than blogging as you often get an immediate response (plurk is brilliant for that instant gratification factor, why write a blog post about your day when you can say it and get responses from the world in a matter of minutes? - Darren Daz Cox
I think blogging will elvolve to a more 'serious' or at least well thought out and crafted genre and 'haircut' blogs will end up as plurks or tweets etc - Darren Daz Cox
...Perhaps w/ open source micro-blogs (like Identica). When hosting your own micro-blog (or co-hosting as a profitable service) 'picks-up' then standard blogs (and sites like blogger, livejournal) will (imo) have reduced exposure. - Czar Derek Peterman
I use microblogging to get an easily understandable idea into the open and get quick feedback, or to share things that might be useful to others. I use blogging if I want to argue a point and get more considered feedback. Of course increasingly there's audio and video blogging too... - David Sim
""The Clippers lured away the Warriors' best player. Now Golden State is hoping to return the favor. Flush with cap space after Baron Davis' sudden exit, the Warriors have offered free-agent Elton Brand a five-year deal worth $90 million, according to multiple league sources."" - Chris Reed
This would be so awesome if it happened. Brand would be perfect for the Warriors. - Rodfather
is Elton a small or power forward? the sixers could use him too - Anthony Farrior
The question is, will Elton still be a 20/10 guy in an offense controlled by SJax? - Roger Benningfield
if they succeed it's like one step forward, 5 steps back for b diddy - Cee Bee
I think he'll still be a 20/10 guy. You don't run plays for Brand. He just gets his. #1 piece Warriors need is rebounding and low post defense. - Rodfather
I don't like the fit of Elton to the GSW, much rather see him in MIA or CLE - Globecode
The SuperSonics will move to Oklahoma City for the 2008-09 season as part of a settlement announced Wednesday with the city of Seattle. - Shey via Bookmarklet
How bout they change their name to the " Oklahoma Twisters" - Brian Carter
Zahra, thanks for linking to some of my posts. I saw the traffic in my logs :-) - Mike Fruchter
With a larger subscriber base, it is becoming harder and harder to keep up with all of your followers. I find myself going to my subscription page more often and clicking feeds to discover new blogs and content from my followers. - Mike Fruchter
The beauty of FriendFeed - it can be used in all sorts of rewarding ways! - Martin Bryant
Martin exactly. Friendfeed is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. - Mike Fruchter
it's sorta like taking a picture of the person taking a picture of you - Cee Bee
still, i think Gawker is very competitive in terms of blogging jobs with most full-time folks making 3-5k a month/36-60k a year. That's a BIG number for folks working from home in the journalism/editorial space just out of school. Most folks make 20-35k out of school. - Jason Calacanis via Bookmarklet
additionally, the five bucks for every 1,000 permalink page views (i.e. NOT the homepage, which is 70% of the traffic) is probably the break even point for Denton/Gawker. So, there is no downside to giving 100% of that money away to his bloggers because it only drives more folks to the homepage/builds the brands. Denton is very, very smart. - Jason Calacanis
more than some entry level print writers make. - Andrew Feinberg
"20-35k out of school" Wow, I guess it really pays to get an Engineering degree. B.S. Engineer's pay starts at 50-60K or more depending on the type of engineer here in California. - Jeff P. Henderson
Jeff: developers/engineers are typically 3x the cost of editorial folks. So, yes, learning how to code is a very good idea. It would take five to seven years to reach 50-60k in an editorial job on average--and there are many folks with 20+ years not making that amount. Also, keep in mind that the cost of living in the Valley/NYC (and to a slightly lesser extent LA) are 30-50% more than the place s inbetween. - Jason Calacanis
Gawker network does 200m+ impressions per month. Quantcast, directly-measured figures. - john conroy
“Dear Microsoft, I know full well that the software I just installed requires a reboot. Please quit bugging me every 5 mins about it. I'll reboot when I'm good and ready.”
The worst part is if you happen to be typing when it pops up. I think the default is 'yes, reboot now', which is pressed by hitting space. I end up leaving the prompt on the screen, just pushing it off to the corner so it's almost gone. Lived that way for about a fortnight until rebooting this morning. - Michael Randall via twhirl
Dear Microsoft, why the hell do I have to reboot every time I install software? Surely there is a better way. - Rahsheen Porter
Of course you don;t have to reboot after installing all software, or even most of it. Even most OS updates these days do not need a reboot. - Soulhuntre via twhirl
doesn't stop windows from asking. that message sucks... - Chris Harris
Steve: KK is just too damned sweet for me... that heavy glaze just kills me. Of course, one can argue that if you prefer a more subtle doughnut, you have no business eating doughnuts in the first place. - Roger Benningfield
Lindsey: A tiny, demented part of me would probably ask for a bite if you bought one. - Roger Benningfield
Didn't Paula Deen publish a recipe like this? Do. Not. Want. - Harvey Simmons
Roger: Yeah the uber-sugary crust, the heavy-with-fat- consistency. Ahh the reasons I love 'em. Hard to hate a KK right off the fryer. "Hot Now!" - (steve isaacs)
No says the girl who used the last of her beans this morning only to have the coffee maker spew them into the pot. I may or may NOT have strained said pot through a sieve into my cup. I may or may NOT be wearing some of the coffee as a result. I will NOT, however, try to suck the coffee out of the shirt. Probably. - Cyndy
Hmm. I have drunk one (1) cup of coffee in my entire lifetime. I'm thinking of trying more. Agree/Disagree? - Yuvi
No I'm not addicted. Not at all. Not addicted. Just because I stop at Wawa for a 24 oz coffee every weekday doesn't make me addicted - does it? No of course not. I'm not addicted. My head hurts, I think I need to take a nap - or just get more coffee :D - Bryan Hunter
I don't like coffee, in any shape or form... and I get weird looks all the time, because I'm from Colombia :) - Juan Pablo González
Yes, but everything except hot coffee. - David Cook
It isn't just the coffee, the Diet Dr. Pepper works just as well - I am beyond addicted, I get headaches if I don't maintain a certain level in my system. - Paula Hawk
Hell yes. Bad headaches and other withdrawal symptoms when no caffeine present. Five-shot latte gets me to lunch. No effect on sleep habits. But it helps to be bipolar! ;-) - Stephen Pierzchala
I'm one of the few... no coffee, no soda, very little sugar. Once cup of coffee puts me into light speed, which is helpful for the few situations where I need it. - Tom Harrison
Yes. Coffee in the morning, Iced Tea or Diet Coke in the afternoon. There are worse vices. - AJ Kohn
I switched to tea years ago, but every now and then I have a coffee eclair, and I'm on the verge of switching back! - Rubin
no... of course this coming from a guy who owns a Senseo system with coffee at the touch of a button - nick carrasco
Whenever i step into the main office i quickly head to the cool looking coffee machine and mix the flavors with the leftover hot chocolate packs! I used to drink a power drink everyday but I weened myself off them and I threw my coffee machine at home away. Just fell off the wagon lately when my wife bought me a case of mountain dew with ginseng... - Anthony Farrior
Every summer I go 2 weeks caffeine free. It's hard for the first 3 days. Which is the 72 hr period during which all physical addictions face the worst withdrawal symptoms. Yes, we're addicted. But so? Addictions can be broken. I managed a whole 8 months w/o caffeine while pregnant. It's not like it's not doable, it's just not desirable. - Lucretia Pruitt
its funny the masses of parents who would never entertain the thought of using illegal stimulants but attack their local starbucks with all of the enthusiasm of a fiend at every possible opportunity - Marco
Completely and utterly addicted, yes. May be found soon sleeping on the St. Mark's sidewalk with a cold, stale cup of cheap bodega coffee clutched to my chest. - Robert Stribley
Yes, absolutely - I went without it once for 3 straight days - nearly died from the headache that caused. I would need a patch or something to quit - Sarah Perez
I kicked the habit too. It was quite easy after a few days. - possible248
Yup - I'd even drink what's in that picture you have there. - Hutch Carpenter
I just got a special cup that gets me free coffee from a particular brand of gas station for the whole year. Naaaah, no addiction here. :) - Daniel Bruce
i can neither confirm nor deny any accusations against me. - Nathan Eckenrode
We're probably addicted to caffeine because we stay up way too late due to our addiction to the internet. ;-) - Cathryn Hrudicka
ahhh, that's what I'm missing this morning, my first redbull, heading to the fridge where I have a large stack of them :-) - Duncan Riley
I'm not an espresso addict -- that's my story and I'm sticking to it. - Sean McBride
3 screens at once! ROTFL... I've posted some links in this thread for EXTREME picture surfing (mostly Flickr, but some Picasa & internal). Some Flick "slideshow" links for Thomas Hawk's collection (and Thomas Hawk's favortes...) P.S. Since I'm often out of "likes", my "comments" and "likes" collections overlap, but are different. - Mitchell Tsai via Bookmarklet
I'd love to have "Flickr favorite" slideshows running on two of these screens! - Mitchell Tsai
Matrix style FriendFeeding.....and yes is it ur Job?? - Arjun
What a great idea! I've got to try that! ^_^ - Selma
No jobs. I retired May 2007, so I get to goof around and surf Flickr all day (in between hikes in Yosemite). I'm doing the WCCIF 2008 (modern dance) http://wccif.com and Camp Fareta 2008 (African dance) http://spiritualbusinesscompan... conferences 7/3-7/13 so probably won't see me much on FF for 11 days. Camp Fareta only has 24,000 baud dialup. Might have some time to post pics from WCCIF though. They have wireless in Berkeley. - Mitchell Tsai
Mitchell...lucky u...that now u have time to do all the fun stuffs :) - Arjun
Igor: You're welcome... I'm a bit slow on my follows. :-( I like to actually spend some time looking around people's pages first, rather than blinding following everyone. - Mitchell Tsai
واي چه حالي ميده اينجا فارسي مي نويسي بعد اينا نمي فهمن ما چي گفتيم ... بعد مي رن همه جا مي گن يه خارجي اومده كامنت گذاشته :دي - اسمايلي : به گند كشيدن فرندفيد خارجگينيا - Hamed Safa

oh, btw, I was rolling at your own chest video reply - Michael W. May via twhirl
You missed me ignoring his entire body of work. As he repeatedly does for me. - Aaron Brazell
did it cpl days ago. couple others on twitter today as well. has to be done. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
That was meant for Aaron, but Erin's was nice too ;) - Michael W. May via twhirl
I blocked him a long time ago. What took you so long? - Robert Scoble
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, Robert. Sometimes that bites me in the ass. - Aaron Brazell
Isn't blocking Igor either step 3 or 4 in the FriendFeed signup process? - Ken Sheppardson
Defense of friends, mostly. I usually try not to block or filter people in case a bashed friend has need of some ascii support. He's only my 3rd I believe, here and Twitter combined. - Michael W. May
Too right Ken. Most people must have missed that bit: 'If you do not wish to be contacted/annoyed/exposed to Igor the Troll - please uncheck this box' - Patricia Hanrahan
feeling rather sad Igor hasn't gone after me yet. geeez. - Erin Kotecki Vest
Patricia: The whole opt-in/opt-out thing confuses people, I think. - Ken Sheppardson
I just blocked him too. He lives up to his name - Grant
Too bad I can't block on Summize too. Ugh. - Aaron Brazell
We actually mentioned him on L33t Tech, I think (can't remember if we were recording yet or not), but we briefly tried to figure out his motivations/loyalties, since he's all over the map. We quickly gave up and decided he was just, as his name says, a troll. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
So winerish is approved urban dictionary adjective nowpwho knew? - Mark Forman
Who is this Igor so that I might block him as well? - Mike Wills
Mark Forman, I would write the definition but I fear for the health and safety of the good employees over at UrbanDictionary.com - Aaron Brazell
Do the UrbanDictionary.com peeps have puppets too? or was that a rss thread... - Mark Forman
Anyone who puts troll in their name, sheesh - Jeremiah Owyang
I haven't blocked anybody yet. I like trolls, sometimes they have the most interesting things to say. - Thomas Hawk
I also don't block many people. Filter some of their feeds to reduce noise, yes. But I will block people who use excessive profanity. Troll perspectives are fresh and different. -
