in the movie of "Hitchhiker's" anyone know who played the voice of the Whale and the Patunas? - Noah David Simon
It's from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Haven't read the book or seen the movie. - Vincent X
someone photoshop some birds into that thing - Michael Narciso
"Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!" - dario agosta
I laughed like crazy when I read this in the book. A whale and petunias! Only Douglas Adams could think that up. - Rahul Das
@Michael Narciso - Tweets would have to be disabled for the fail whale to be that strong. - exador23
still wondering who was the voice of the whale in the movie. Anyone know? Anyone? this isn't a test. I really want to know the answer..... and it isn't 42 - Noah David Simon
tough decision! I really don't like the lack of "Social skills" resulting from Home schooling. I'm just talking from personal experiences though - Anthony Farrior
"Whether Marbury will be traded, bought out of his contract or simply waived is yet to be determined. But people with close ties to Donnie Walsh, the team president, and Coach Mike D’Antoni consider Marbury’s departure a near certainty." - Ryne Nelson via Bookmarklet
who are the players on the Knicks again... I'm in NY and I forgot - Noah David Simon
Marbury is due to have his bags permanently moved to NJ. - tony
@tony - What do you think about Marbury to the Heat? Wade, Beasley, Marion, Marbury and Haslem...man! - Ryne Nelson
That's only your FF friend's Twitter activity. Is there an easy way to get FF to display your Twitter w/friends status rss feed? Tweets by people you follow on Twitter but who aren't on FF? - Niall Connellan
Seems like that's where Imaginary friends come into play. - Niall Connellan
yea...I get the imaginary friends thing. I just do not want to create all of them. I know I can get an rss of my home page for twitter, I just can not add it as a blog for an imaginary friend. - Tim Wright
I think I understand now, I guess you can't do that. FriendFeed only shows updates for your FF friends, not people off your Twitter feed. You would need a client like AlertThingy or something to view your Twitter account (atleast for now) - Aaron Myers
Apparently there was a way to do it on Windows, but it doesn't work anymore: http://internetducttape.com/20... - I'd really love to do that. I already added some imaginary friends, but it's time-consuming if you have many Twitter contacts. - Opensource Obscure
Holy Cow....it is bigger than flikr.....scarry - Matt Rider via twhirl
540 terabytes doesn't seem all that big. - Louis Gray
It may be bigger than flickr but the pictures are actually used on flickr rather than being locked up to a profile and a few hundred friends. - Rahul Das
it's a lot, especially considering they downsample images. i.e. your 1.2mb jpg gets reduced to 128kb on FB. The original resolution is lost. So 540 TB is a lot of downsampled images! - Mark J. Feldman
Flickr has about 2.5 billion images. - Ole Begemann
I suspect that Gmail has both more images, and more image data. Email is still what many "regular" people use for photo sharing, amazingly. - Paul Buchheit
540TB is puny for 30B images. 19.3KB/photo average. SmugMug has more storage and only ~325M photos. - Don MacAskill
Facebook limits photos to 5Mb each and 50 photos per album, though. - Prolific Programmer
again, I'll pay my yearly fee for Flickr. sorry Facebook. - Andrew Feinberg
Is that photos or images in total? Could be lots of 1-20K png and gifs for apps - Cris Pearson via twhirl
The ratio on comments on my Facebook photos to comments on my Flickr photos is probably about 20:1, despite the ratio of number of Facebook photos to number of Flickr photos being about 1:10. Comments are nice, especially for hacks like me that aren't going to get any attention -- deservedly so -- from the folks on Flickr. - Kirk Kittell
@Andrew: Do I trust them to host my photos? Is that what you mean? Or is that a more general question? - Kirk Kittell
I mean do you trust them to host your photos and not use them without your permission? Their TOS lets them use your information for promotional purposes and sell to advertisers. Flickr lets you choose how your photos are licensed. Think about it. - Andrew Feinberg
I use a non-commercial license on Flickr. However, it's a minor issue to me how Facebook handles the photos. The primary reason I use Facebook to share photos is because I will get some reaction from my contacts. I'd trade that aspect for losing control of a few photos any day. If I wasn't a hack, I might change my stance. But I'm a hack. If I don't share on Facebook, I have no reason to think anyone sees my photos, and that's a loss, I think. - Kirk Kittell
@Andrew Feinberg: I think that's an excellent point, but I think you'd be shocked at how many people just don't care. First, the re-use of their photos isn't important to them, second, they think their photos aren't worth re-using, and third, they think of it as a cost to pay for the free service. I don't get it, but tons of people think that way. - Don MacAskill
Photography for me is a hobby, so I don't care what anyone does with my pictures. Indeed, all on flickr are CC-licensed. - Prolific Programmer
Mine are CC also and have been used by some high-traffic blogs and others. But, the choice to allow that is mine alone. Facebook has enough money and user data, they don't need anything else from me. - Andrew Feinberg
@Andrew - I'd trust Facebook over Flickr, since it's not Flickr's policies you should be worrying about, it's Yahoo's - and they definitely have not been playing nice with Flickr users since they took over ... - cerement
@Prolific Programmer The limit for photo's is 60, 3 pages of 20! - Joe Dawson
I don't think that comparing sheer volume really tells anyone anything useful. It's not surprising to me that Facebook would lead on this metric - people literally dump their whole memory card there, uploading hundreds of snapshots from the same party. But all photos are not created equal, and what I've never seen on Facebook though is anything that might be considered *photography*. For that, Flickr clearly rules the roost. - Eric
Great. Now we can't hide your Twitter updates without also hiding your FF updates. There's a trade-off for everything! :-) - Josh Bancroft
I gotta get an invite /code to ping.fm. Anyone have any? Let me know at evanstj (at) gmail. - Tim via Alert Thingy
@Tim - Tell them to use beta code "pingyoulater" so they can get in on the beta action! - Spinn
Josh, I don't think you understand - I've completely removed my Twitter account link from here to keep from reposting the same stuff unnecessarily. This makes things better for everyone, not worse. Ping.fm is becoming an indispensable "native updates" tool. If you use both Twitter and FriendFeed, you need to use Ping.fm to post the same thing to both places (and then, potentially remove Twitter from FriendFeed). - l0ckergn0me
Can I ask sort of a dumb question as I try to to unify my online world? I can see how ping.fm will help me send the same message to various networks, but how are most of you then reading all the responses afterwards? Aren't we stuck having to go to six different networks to read all the various and separate responses? - Neil Kramer
I've been waiting for this as well. Awesome! - Joanmarie
Chris, I understand what ping.fm does, and what you're doing. Partly, I'm giving you a hard time. And partly, I'm making the argument that Twitter is just as good a "native updates" tool - a place to write - as ping.fm. This is why I love FriendFeed - I don't have to care, and be on the same tool, to get updates. Let us know how it goes! - Josh Bancroft
Neil, I don't think that's a dumb question -- mainly because I've been asking it myself lately. :-) Maybe we need a reverse ping.fm to get all of those updates in one place. I've considered using friendfeed to make a bunch of "imaginary friends" to add their services, but that will take a long time. So.... I dunno.... It is an issue. - Joanmarie
Thanks! I just did the same. The other thing I just did was to remove Tumblr from Ping.fm -- I'm going to use Tumblr primarily for images, video and audio and put them and an occasional text post there directly. So far everything is making it across as I want it to Facebook too. I have the Ping.fm and Tumblr apps installed there. It was a bit wacko figuring out how to glue everything together correctly - and be able to do it from my iPhone. Swurl can have it all however it gets there. Now -- about WordPress :). - Jeff Evans
i had already removed twitter from ff - ping.fm rocks! - Dieter Schwarz
What web page or app (for OS X, Ubuntu, & Windoze) reads all I'm following on Twitter, FF and indenti.ca ? Facebook I can do direct. - Jeff Evans
Agree ... but haven't figured out a good SIMPLE way to reply to a "tweet" using ping.fm ... FF comments stay "in house" - Christopher Perry
Not bad reply tweet in friendfeed,twitter is also a social web service. - Chris Qie
Thank gawd someone finally sees the light - Steven Hodson
I'm trying the same thing, but now I have to browse my microblog sites (twitter, pownce, identi.ca) sites manually in order to see replies. Unless I take the time to bring in all my friends to FF. - Bill Bittner
My name is Bwana, and I approve this message - Bwana McCall
I didn't add FriendFeed to Ping.FM, only Twitter. I guess it is the reverse situation, but works. - David Risley
I tried updating Friendfeed from Ping.fm using the @ff but it didn't work. - Steve Rubel
so just a sec, does that mean no more responding via friendfeed to twitter if everyone does this? We'd have to visit both sites no? - Zee from WeDoCreative
No way. Thanks for the major education session. I just checked out Ping.fm for the first time and - this should be good. I wish I could give this a triple 'like'. - Sonciary Honnoll
why Marco is my only GOP crush- Marco@Gary Anderson - First off just say no to the Caps button
Second - I think it is a great question as the hundreds of comments it has spawned show a very diverse range of definitions of the term "patriot."
Sadly, they also show that we have a long way to go in our endeavors to truly debate and divine the best policies for our nation.
Way too much majoring on the minor - every person who has commented here has one major thing in common - they all want this great nation to be governed in the best possible way, by the best possible people. We may differ on the methods but we would all be well served to remember that our goal is the sam - Erin Kotecki Vest
well...its not like i had to actually talk to them in person! A lot of all caps going on in AOL land - Marco
Jaiku is always fast for me but you raise a great point about 'track'. That is the single most underrated and underused feature of Twitter. Well, apart from the 'community'. - Andy C
For me, Twitter is perfect for what it's supposed to be. Save for the server issues, of course. - Spinn
its July 4th...grab a couple beers and your family and go outside...enjoy your life, everybody is out now. - Pokai
I thought I was the only one turned off by Plurk's UI. I can't stand their Karma system either. - Gerard Barberi via twhirl
I don't need Pownce, I don't like Plurk, Identi.ca doesn't offer me anything I need. I'm more than content with Friendfeed. - tsudohnimh
My issues: Pownce has no conversation, Plurk has no one I know, Idecti.ca = useless and what is Jaiku? :) - FF or Twitter plz - Tony
Pownce's best feature is the conversation... which makes the fact that it just doesn't load so much sadder. Aside from FriendFeed, it's my favorite service and it is just broken. - Andrew Burd
Twiter is what it is and does what it does and we like it that way. Why so hard for people to understand? - Andrew Feinberg
Twitter's SMS is absolutely vital feature. There's no real replacement for Twitter at this time.. - Jiri Fencl
again...I agree, Robert...Twitter is what emergency management professionals will use to spread the word quickly about natural and man-made disasters. You're China earthquake post was the cat's meow! - Bruce Curley
How do you track? I used to be able to do it with Jabber IM/Google Talk, but it doesn't work for me anymore. - Bjorn Tipling
are people getting spam after joining identi.ca? i just got 3 spam emails direct to my email account....i just sent an email to the admin - Pokai
Ping.FM Robert all the kids are doing it :) - Fred Grott
I love Friendfeed, but want SMS texts. Please. Maybe I could write something to pull FriendFeed posts into a twitter account. - David Sim
I use Ping.FM whenever I post. It's really very nice. So far I haven't experienced any negative issues. - Niall Connellan
Duncan: what's funny is even though Twitter is regularly down I'm still getting 100x more messages on Twitter than any of the other services. - Robert Scoble
Identi.ca has no replies or track, Twitter didn't have them either for a long time - Bob Ngu via twhirl
Scoble, I know. The magic ingredient still remains community. It is changing though, I don't have hard proof but I know Twitter is quieter now than it was 3 months ago, for me at least - Duncan Riley
Duncan: it's not quieter for me. I'm still seeing a new tweet almost every second. - Robert Scoble
Twitter, even with all it's downtime will still be the microblog service of choice. As we say in Mexico: "El que pega primero, pega dos veces." The rest are just copies. - Michel Bechelani via twhirl
Scoble, but you're also following more people than just about anyone as well. Maybe it's just in particular groups, but where as I might have seen 20 tweets a minute, today I see 2-5. - Duncan Riley
Twitter is still the best, even when taking stability into the equation. The UI is the key, plus the featureset - Cait
Duncan: I'm noticing that lots of people have changed their behavior over past three-five weeks. But in aggregate the users are still on Twitter. The people I like to talk with most (like you) are here on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
@duncanriley really? I'm surprised, I've seen more Twitter action since it's been really unstable. Are you taking your timezone change into account? - Cait
yup... plurk's ui is too noisy and slow - ming yeow
I'm really getting into Utterz. Not as a new social network but as a way to post a variety of content quickly and easily and redistribute it to other sites. Just realized when I saw this item that one Utterz post can contain multiple content types, like picture and audio. FF takes in the RSS and displays them very nicely http://friendfeed.com/e/8e6f99... - Kevin Shannon
It's all about the quick and easy communication from literally anywhere. Device updates on Twitter is what got me hooked. - Matt Horton
Ok guys, aren't you fed up? over 50% of your gibberish (excuse my lame english) is around twitter, friendfeed, etc... You use the same tools to talk about them. You aren't really creating anything new. Are you? - Guillaume
Robert have you looked at Kwippy yet? - Steven Hodson
For me it's mostly Twitter + FF, also checking out ping.fm + swurl but i have a strong feeling i'll be on FF for very long. Compared to portals, start pages, readers and newer stuff like Feedly, FF is actually becoming a fun useful and addictive zone. - Majento (Sharon Rudich)
I use a combination of SocialThing! and FriendFeed. FriendFeed has more of a breadth, but SocialThing! shows me a load of Facebook activity such as photo uploads that FriendFeed doesn't, and also keeps track of everybody, not just the people on FriendFeed or ones I have manually set up as imaginary friends. Neither gives me exactly what I want currently. - Richard Peat
There's a lot more women over on Plurk, at least looking at the people who are adding me lately. - Robert Scoble
Maybe it's the thought of being tracked everywhere online, not sure. Maybe it's the kind of conversations that go on here. Maybe it's not the case at all? - jjprojects
because the import sources are limited... where's my Twitter import? @robertscoble Plurk has better importing - Cait
Robert, I agree, there are far more wormen on Plurk. I've been using it quite a lot in a last couple of weeks, and that is definitely the case. I saw your question there about that, hence my question here really. Twitter is about 50/50 I think, well for me anyway. - jjprojects
We're here. But maybe we just wait to comment until there's something worth commenting on... <heh> - Linda Mills
yes, not a 50/50 mix, but definitely more. It's a more enabling platform for all people to be heard - Duncan Riley
Yes, there is something unsettling about the tracking; that's why I rarely post on BrightKite. But I've imported most of my twitter feeds here (a la Dave Slusher), and I'm loving the one-place reading and listening (to those who post audio files here). - Linda Mills
I'm here. I'll try harder to make my presence known :). - Annie Boccio
The majority of people online ARE women. We've also evolved to a point where we find blogging 'mainstream' according to recent studies. So it's only natural we're about to out number the boys as early adopters for social services like this.... - Erin Kotecki Vest
Linda, does that mean most of the conversations are about things men are more interested in at the moment? - jjprojects
women mostly follow attractive men hahahhahaha Seriously, it depends what type of woman you mean, the technically minded/employed are definitely here. Plurk doesn't appeal to me, the "forced" interaction is artificial I find. And I am all about information, not conversation... - Allison
Allison, Oh thx :P Yes, the conversations on Plurk are a bit forced sometimes, because of the whole Karma thing. You get points for being active and responding everywhere. The conversations are a lot more informal than here too, usually. - jjprojects
I find SNSing females (in general) to be attention whores that unnecessarily post useless pictures and videos of themselves. I prefer engaging in light, friendly interactions with an emphasis more on information exchange, like FF. I'm a huge fan of the female representation in here. Quality > quantity - Mona N via fftogo
Importing is screwing up the numbers for FF... Women are more social online than email. There are dozens of services I can import 20+ women from (each service), but FF doesn't support it - Cait
Mona, you don't think men can "attention whores" as well, but in a slightly different way? Oh I think they can. - jjprojects
John, I don't think that's the conversations are uninteresting. It's just that the huge preponderance of action in my feed is tweets, which are pretty much like brain farts, not requiring response. I'm here now! - Linda Mills
@jjprojects FF updates very slowly for me, not enough contacts... and I'm not looking up everyone's email to invite them - Cait
@jjprojects of course. Hence the reason there are more males on FF... HA! - Mona N via fftogo
@jjprojects don't you fnd that generally there are more men than women on the 'net? technology is more of a man magnet - Allison Miller
@Allison, do you mean sites and services or the Internet as a whole? - Mona N via fftogo
Is this your first day on the internwebs? There's like only 2 girls on this whole thing. And even THEIR gender is in question until we get pics! ;-) - Adam Turetzky
HERE! @mona I just posted a pic of the keg setup at this party I'm at. How is that for useless ;) - Michelle Miller
The good thing about the women who ARE on the web - they, at least outwardly, appear to be more thoughtful and intelligent than the "common woman." (Am I going to regret saying that?) - Vince DeGeorge
@michelle NO braggage rights until there's one of you doing a keg stand! ;) - Mona N
male attention whores? scoble jumps to mind - Allison
Allison, actually no, I think that used to be the case, but these days I think the gap in narrowing, especially in social media. I'm really talking about social media. If you look at Facebook for instance, there are just as many women as men, if not more. - jjprojects
I don't have many women following me, of course my profile pic ain't that flattering - Dedric
I think there's a lot of women around too, but not as many on FriendFeed. Although I also have a limited number of contacts on here so less inclined to comment. I get people who follow me on Twitter but do not follow me here. It feels (IMO) that FF is much more formal, but then I said that to you the other day, didn't I John! :) Meanwhile, I like FF a lot for this reason.. the comments and conversation. - Penny
We keep saying that ff is quite formal, but I've actually had some quite informal conversations here too, mostly with people who've responded to tweets in ff. I might experiment a bit with trying to start different types of conversations here, not just tech or industry related ones, and see what happens. - jjprojects
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
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
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
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 really do dislike Plurk. I'm starting to wonder if the people touting Plurk's virtues just want to be right about Plurk -- versus seeing the reality of Plurk. Thoughts? Am I wrong? If so, tell me. Still contemplating a ZDNet blog on the topic. ”
The threading is really nice, but for some people the simplicity of twitter is much more appealing. - Rob Diana
Look at what's happening on identi.ca. The race for the most amount of followers. Same difference if you ask me. - Bwana McCall
I haven't found Plurk to be usable. The sideways scrolling, the constant "You have an update!" notifications: it gives me a headache. - Mark Trapp
i tried plurk -- a little too bubblegum for me to be honest. plus the karma points make me feel like i'm in some competition. - Cee Bee
I enjoy the threaded conversations while I'm there. Really really easy to have conversations. It took me a week to get used to the timeline, but when I did, I could see the value. It's a totally different animal from Twitter. (literally) - Bwana McCall
I haven't used Plurk THAT much, but it seems to be carving out its niche as a chatty, lightweight application. There's clearly a group of people who really like it. It won't appeal to everyone, but I think it will find its own audience, probably at the expense of Twitter or FriendFeed. Shrug. If nothing else, it shows that people are interested in conversations, just as they have been for the past 20+ years. I will probably be an occasional user at best, but it probably wasn't designed for me either. - Mark Dykeman
I try not to compare it to Twitter and judge it on its own merits. I just feel overwhelmed having to collapse every single thread just to see if I might be interested in the convo. And having to collapse every thread to see if anyone responded to time. I can't even fathom how a business might use it as some folks have suggested. - Jennifer Leggio
Regarding Jennifer's question, I sincerely believe people who say they like Plurk. Of course there are some who simply must be right as that is true with any situation, but the people I've observed and talked to on Plurk use it for meaningful purposes. You hate it and it seems like you hate to see people like it. :) It's not a black and white type thing though. The term "reality" doesn't have a factual meaning here because liking Plurk is purely opinionated. - Bwana McCall
I disagree that Plurk can be used for business purposes. In my opinion, it's a social, fun tool to be used between friends and family. - Bwana McCall
Regarding following threads, the technique I found to work was selective reading. To "catch up" on Plurk, you will drive yourself nuts if you try to read every thread. What I do is skim the conversations and find the 2 or 3 I'm interested in and I read those. With the new "mute" functionality, I have a rule that if a unwanted conversation shows up 3 or more times when I catch up, I mute the thread. This workflow allows me to catch up on hundreds of updates in minutes. - Bwana McCall
Even with that technique, many don't want to bother with all that. That's perfectly fine. There's nothing wrong with disliking it. Plurk can be a huge timesink even with efficient techniques. That was a big reason why I cut back my usage. I would spend hours talking to people. No time for that :) - Bwana McCall
@Bwana "You hate it and it seems like you hate to see people like it." That was an incorrect, unfounded and unnecessary judgment. Just trying to understand it as all. I don't have that much free time to sit around and play with all of these tools so I ask questions to get other people's insights. I expressed an opinion but that does not mean I hate the other people like it. I don't understand why other people like it. Big difference. That comment kind of discredited your whole statement. - Jennifer Leggio
It was a joke Jennifer, hence the smiley. Text sucks for wit. - Bwana McCall
There are lots of things I dislike -- baseball, pork, country music. I may ask questions to better understand the appeal and in doing so I might express my own opinion, but that doesn't mean it bothers me if other people like it. I just may never agree and may always look at them with a raised eyebrow. ;-) - Jennifer Leggio
@Bwana - Yeah, hard to tell if comments with a smiley online are jokes or passive aggression. lol. In that case ignore my statement. But I still dislike Plurk, baseball, pork and country music. ;-) - Jennifer Leggio
Plurk took away the ability to delete an account about 2 weeks ago... I wonder why that is...? I'm guessing Account Retention due to an increased frequency of deletions... sad though that they would prevent you from deleting your account. They don't answer support inquiries either. Fail across the board. Oh, I should mention that I exploited the site to add thousands of friends at once and it broke the functionality of the site for many of the people on my friends list. They still haven't fixed those issues - Brandon
I'd like to know how in the world people would use Plurk in their business. A far stretch would be to gather feedback from their products (as businesses do on Twitter, etc). Other than that... I can't see it at all. - Bwana McCall
@Bwana Yeah, I'm trying to figure it out. I've seen a lot of claims made but nothing in action. If I hear of anything concrete I will let you know. - Jennifer Leggio
@Brandon I'm actually interviewing the Plurk folks sometime in the next week so I'll ask them about the account deletion and support. - Jennifer Leggio
Angel - so did I at first. You can change that graphic, but it's not obvious - Bwana McCall
I think the Karma thing bugs me the most. The timeline, is kitschy and I think needlessly complexifies the UI, but ultimately is just a personal preference. I could see businesses using it the same way they use twitter, but with greater potential for starting a dialogue since it is trivial for anyone to track the full conversation. - felix
have a plurk but check it minimally - never really had what i was looking for, but neither did jaiku or pownce - think identi.ca will be the same way - am liking swurl so far though but friendfeed is the real keeper... - mike &
