Yeah, you tell 'em. I whole heartedly agree. - Franklin Day
Most users stick w/what's officially supported and won't deviate b/c of the "unsupported" fear. How can you make IT end-of-life IE6 when it's working well enough for the vast majority of users? - Jake Kuramoto
I'm a non-deviator here. My employer hasn't approved IE7 yet, so I'm sticking to IE6 on my work computer. We haven't approved Vista either (which may be a good thing)... - Ontario Emperor
@OE: What's wrong with any of the other modern browsers, e.g. Safari, FF, Flock, Opera? Even Netscape's last version is better. - Jake Kuramoto
This is not just individuals' taste or ignorance but goes beyond. One classic example is - Corporates have not migrated over to IE 7. More over they make sure that none of the employees do so by imposing restrictions. Even company intranets are IE 6 only (FF supported very poorly). Personally I haven't used IE 6 for anything except for my Intranet needs. - pankaj
I have both IE6 and IE7 installed as there are still some clients that use IE6. Yes, they scream when a page is broken but if the code is clean it's an easy fix :) - zoblue (Zulema)
As a web designer, I can't stand the new IE7. But I really never have dealt with IE6 since I have started, because I stick to FF and Safari as my main browsers. - Randy via twhirl
If you aren't developing for Firefox 3 you are wasting massive amounts of employee cycles...It's just so much faster than IE 6 or 7 and much much much better at managing memory. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)
I agree. FF3 renders pages exactly as I want them. - Roberto Bonini
We see broken pages every day. In all browsers. There is no standard implementation of the standards. And when you get used to developing for non-standards, they change. I gave up on updating an app I created because I couldn't find JS that worked in all the browsers. - Stephen Pierzchala
Nice one stephen- No standard implementation of standards. Well said!! - Roberto Bonini
It's not even so much of what is "officially" supported, although that plays into it a great deal. A lot of it, gentle readers (and developers), is the attitude "across the neutral zone" is reluctance to seek out new orientation. It's digital fatigue and unless forced to, ie, it doesn't work anymore, new pain is usually what forces the switch. - Melanie Reed
I completely agree. Why would I want to watch it time delayed when I know the results from the net. There is no drama, no suspense, no surprise.... - Mark Reis
But the telecast says 'LIVE' on top right of the screen. Isn't this cheating? - Nikhil Dandekar
WarMaiden: I already know that Phelps won a goal and set a world record but it won't be on here in California until later tonight. - Robert Scoble
TV is dead. Time delays are dead. In Canada, they don't allow local broadcasting of election results until your region's polls have closed. The Internet has killed that old-fashioned idea. Time delay TV is so 1988. - Stephen Pierzchala
We hear this every four years, but if you truly want the Olympcs to be live with the 12-hourdifference, be waring to go at 3 a.m. That said, I notice that at least for the East Coasters are getting some of the big events live while us West Coasters have to wait three hours... But we're used to that... - Chris Reed
CBC is the perfect model. Live, inclusive, no smaltzy profiles, just the sports. - Kathleen Mazzocco
NBC sucks. Why aren't they showing more of the Olympics? At 7 they showed Access Hollywood Weekend, now they are doing "Olympic Zone" live from Downtown Palo Alto??? WTF?? - PC Easy via twhirl
Robert, you sure are in a hateful mood tonight..but I am with ya..so carry on. - Scot Duke
that sucks. here in Detroit we've got the CBC too, although at least on EST, they've had just as much live coverage for the first time since at least '92 - Richard Lawler via twhirl
Scot: I hate it cause people are talking about it on Twitter and I can't watch for three more hours. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
Agreed PC. Their announcers suck, their stupid commercial breaks every 5 minutes suck. Ugh, I want decent coverage of this stuff already. - Dennis Jackson
I am with ya on the Twitter talk about it. I have been trying to watch it online and that sucks as well. - Scot Duke
agreed that the CBC coverage has been great so far...too bad they've lost the broadcast rights for the olympics after this year... - Trent Olson
I am so angry that I can't watch my friends who are racing over there...I have to read about it and hope for youtube. Not angry. Outraged. - Andrew Feinberg
And the MSM wonders why people pirate content and feeds.... - Duncan Riley
gee .. like no-one thought this would happen huh .. a corporation re-writing history to help their bottom line .. I am so shocked <GASP> - Steven Hodson
Have you tried the NBC Olympics site? http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv_... Some content is streamed live... you may have to adjust your sleeping habits to can the next round of competion in four hours from now. - Anthony K Valley
Robert - Yes East Coast, but they are back to recorded gymnastics. "LIVE" is gone. - Ben Newton
I'm watching it live right now. Is it a west coast thing? There are tons of live events online this year, even practice sessions. Requires MSoft Silverlight but pretty good quality streams. - Andrew Leyden
I watched the opening ceremony on my TV via Sopcast&Tvants (pc hooked up to TV). Watched it again in HDTV on NBC later that night. This link has all the ways to catch coverage http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Wa... - Andrew Leyden
and you are surprised? at all? honestly? - Thomas Vincent
I'm watching CBC in Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/olympics Do you think it would be any different if another network was covering the Olympics in the States? - Phillip Jeffrey
Comcast added two special Olympic channels in the HD section--one for basketball and one for soccer. There is also Universal HD which has some coverage, USA Network, Oxygen, CNBC and MSNBC, and Telemundo. I'd spin around to see if you can find anything live at the moment (I think there is a basketball game on now). - Andrew Leyden
Have you tried nbcolympics.com? I know they are having some events live. Personally I don't have a problem with the delay. With a choice of the races being broadcast live but not seeing them and being able to see the delay I'll take the delay. - ChiliMac
If you want live, unfortunetly the only way is through the web. And they are raw feeds using MS Silverlight. So if your willing to deal with that you can get all of the events in a pop-up window on your computer. : | - Bluesun 2600 via twhirl
On the West coast in .au we are use to 2hr delay for most sporting events, but not the Olympics. Appears to be live at, least on SBS the "complementary" broadcaster, time to settle down for 3 hours of the womens cycling road race. - Nick Cowie
whenever the olympics take place on the other side of the world most events aren't shown live. This is not about broadcasting the olympics as a public service. It's about NBC making their money back. You do understand the relationship between ad rates and prime-time, right? The Internet takes away any suspense about the olympics when they are held on the other side of the world. You ain't gonna get live from NBC. Too much money at risk. - Dave Madison
too many commercials, they chased me away - gregory lent
part of the coverage is live at least on the east coast. there has been some effort to schedule a few important US events in the morning a la Phelps so that they can be seen live on primetime - Ted
Adding insult to injury, my rather capable PowerPC Mac can't even access the Olympics on nbcolympics.com. It's using an Intel-only version of Silverlight. Trying CBC and other foreign networks online all reject me because of my American IP, and I haven't found a successful proxy server that'll let me stream. - Kevin Hessel
loving nbc's use of silverlight working awesome on the macbook pro - adolfo foronda
The BBC have just had to put a bucket into the Olympics studio in Beijing as the roof is leaking! - Rich
@Kevin Hessel: Thanks for pointing that out. Now I'm not happy with NBC either. - ChiliMac
try watching CBC channel 99 on Comcast. I just watched USA creamed China in basketball, live. - ~C4Chaos
NBC focuses too much on the #olympics drama rather than live coverage. bball on primetime? USA already creamed China - http://bit.ly/1cQyX2 - ~C4Chaos
NBC sucks. I started a public email protest here: http://n2.nabble.com/NBC-Olymp... - please help to spread the word. If more people work together to get their message to NBC, they will have to act. Blogging and commenting like this are just too scattered and too easy for NBC to ignore. - weizpub
I agree. I knew things have been "tense" for sometime but an actual shooting war? Wow, that was a surprise. - Steve
give them time they are all focused on #080808. They can not be as agile as us. How can they follow the cloud, when the cloud doesn't know where it is going yet. - Jonathan Ferguson
the problems Georgia and Russia have been well know for awhile , ever since the Rose Revolution. Kinda why Georgia wants to join NATO , so Russia doesn't invade them....... oh wait - Carl Backstrom
Looks like we are back into 19th century "spheres of influence" politics. You'd think after the Cold-War everything would have been peachy. - Stephen James
Its also funny that twitter reports are faster than the AP now. - The Dude Dean
The Dude - that's nothing new. A mailing list I was on heard about 9/11 before the media did. - Earle Martin
I am a Canadian living in the US. Crossing back into the US from Canada is sort of like being tagged as an enemy alien. An experience I recommend for anyone. I hate to think what would happen if I came from somewhere really dangerous, like Australia or France. - Stephen Pierzchala
Oh, we just don't let the French in anymore. - Jason Carreira
my first thought was - dang - he's dead! There looked to be a quote from a news article saying though that the occupants managed to get out in time. I sure hope so! The scary thing is that looks like something I might would do! - Tad - just Tad
That's awesome! People are such morons sometimes. Before whipping around with such a large trailer you should be paying attention to the height markings etc they have posted. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
Jason, he could have easily forgotten he was hauling a trailer. Maybe he'd been driving that truck for a really long time and just recently added the trailer. I can totally see myself doing something like that. I hope I'm more mindful if I'm in that position though! - Tad - just Tad
That structure was pretty darn shabby if it came down that easily. It should have just shaved off the top of the trailer. Is that the odor of lawsuits I smell? - Christine Cavalier
holy crap it looks like those people were killed - Nick O'Neill
hard to believe they made it out of there, unless the whole thing is a fake or a stunt. wild video. - Sarah Vela
What's with this culture of fake where people can't tell the difference between something real and simulacra? Who the hell would spend the time and energy to fake this? - Rafael Robayna
This is great. I remember when I started using AOL about 12 years ago, if a site was down it was annoying, but no big deal. Today, if my favorite social app, online store, or productivity app is down then it can really ruin a day at minimum. If basecamp, twitter, or Amazon goes down when its needed then we are in big trouble. - Adam Helweh
Today if anything is down I am freaked out. I think the end of the world has come. That's ridiculous! - Francine Hardaway
“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. - 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 "glemak" dunn
@Mike Agree. I think that FF has the most sustainability of them all. I wish I could say that about Twitter as I do <3 it... but not looking so good. - Jennifer Leggio
@Jennifer agreed, i ♥ twitter too but things aren't looking that well anymore. FF ftw. - Brandon
@mediaphyter, Plurk is as good as the friends you follow... yet I can't condone one replacing the other. - "Czar" DJ Peterman
Jennifer I can tell you that the people using Plurk are there because we honestly love it. I was on there last night laughing my head off till I was crying at some of the stuff other people were plurking about. It was literally roll in the floor hilarious! I can understand why some people don't like Plurk, but I can also understand EXACTLY why those of us that spend time on Plurk, love it. - Mack Collier
@Mack But the hilarity of the content has nothing to do with the platform, it's the people right? Those people could be anywhere. I have similar experiences with Twitter and FriendFeed and even Pownce before I retired from there. Saying "but it's funny" doesn't defend the platform. It just says you happen to have a good network or find good conversations. That can be done anywhere. - Jennifer Leggio
I'm over at Plurk trying to give it another chance. It's making me feel like I have ADD. Plus there's no way I will remember all of the threads I've posted on. Maybe I need to carry around a Plurk notepad and write them down? :-/ - Jennifer Leggio
Yeah, but people also tout the virtues of MySpace. - Evo Terra via twhirl
Plurk does seem to be a love/hate app - Sarah Perez
Why do people feel that Plurk has to be useful for business? I wasn't into social media at the time but did this type of discussion happen when MySpace came out? Unless you have a band, not too many business uses for that either but it's still very popular. - Vaughn
@Vaughn I don't think anyone's saying it has to be useful for business - but a lot of people are claiming that it is. So I want to understand how (and am currently having that convo with Plurk itself via email). As for MySpace, as much as I've outgrown that myself, a lot of consumer-oriented companies DO still use it for branding and promotion. It's a lot of the B2B companies that it has scared off. - Jennifer Leggio
@Jennifer Leggio That makes sense. Sometimes I feel that Plurk is the square peg and people are trying to force it into the round hole. - Vaughn
Jennifer, stick around a bit longer, it grows on you. But notably: different types of conversation, more informal, less depth. In terms of the layout, I don't like it either, which is why I created Plurkair using the mobile version for the desktop: I prefer Plurk Twitter style, and in that way it's an able player in the space - Duncan Riley
Only mouse-clickers like Plurk. For the keyboard folk, it's like trying to write a 4000 word physics essay with a giant crayon, horrible interface! and Karma? "come back to our service more than Twitter, or we will punish you!". Plurk sucks ass. - Cait
Plurk just blows my mind. I click on something and then it's all ZAZOW and does something crazy I didn't expect. - brad sucks
“Stop assuming people have iPhones. Get out of the Valley or New York City or Washington DC and go to the fucking heartland. How many "average Americans" do you think have iPhones?”
funny story-- I was bitchin' on Twitter last fall about people with underscores in their user names-- very mobile un-friendly. One response? To tell me where to find underscore on the iPhone. Friggin' hilarious. (OTOH, the answer was similar on my phone too- but I still hate underscore in usernames). - Doug Haslam via twhirl
Gee, I prided myself on not being average by not having an iphone, you mean I'm not. :-) - Karen Swim via Alert Thingy
My mom has a trac phone! Most average Americans definitely do not have an iPhone. - Michelle Martinez
Hell, where I live we don't even have ATT. No, I don't have an I-Phone and all it would serve me for would be a doorstop. - Trace Sharp
I live in Spain - have an iTouch, iPhone coming soon. Guarantee that LOADS of peeps will have them here. Spaniards are gadget junkies. More cell phones than landlines. - Dennis Howlett
I don't have an iPhone, nor do I want one. My current phone serves me well, and I have a Palm Pilot with a text editor, browser, SSH and IRC clients - plus a full-size fold-out keyboard. While iPhone users are sitting tapping away on their touch-screen, I can sit and type at almost full speed into a text editor. - Tom Morris
A very small percentage have a phone that has a decent Web browser and an unlimited data plan. - Robert Scoble
Average American probably has whatever free phone they got on their last contract - Michael W. May (Joffi) via twhirl
@Scoble exactly. @Michael my wife has a free phone she got by re-upping her contract last year. Some cheap Samsung. - Aaron Brazell
"Stop assuming people using the the Internet are all americans" - directeur
The average American has the free cell phone they get when they sign up for their plan, or a tracfone. They can't afford $300 on top of the cell phone bill. - Greg Hollingsworth via twhirl
Blackberry. More blackberry devices than iPhones due to greater network support. And Palm devices. And free crap... - Stephen Pierzchala
@directeur Obviosuly I know not all internet users are Americans but I framed my comment around Americans because that is the discussion being had right now. - Aaron Brazell
I love how when Scoble, his crew and I had dinner with a few DC friends after the first day of PDF, the DC people all had BlackBerrys and the Valley people had iPhones. Great. - Andrew Feinberg
@Aaron: ok, it's all fine. It's just as frustrating for us too (the 3rd world) when people always assume the Internet or the Web is "theirs". It's not what you intended, I know now :) - directeur
directeur, I'm in Michigan and feel pretty 3rd world admist most of this myself ;) - Michael W. May (Joffi) via twhirl
They have maybe sold 10 million phones world wide, that is a small % compared to phone user, so agree with you! I've played used friends iPhone and played with it at the store, but my blackberry is just as good! And the rate plan from AT &T doesn't even compare to my T-Mobile plan, so NO iPhone for me! I'm cool enough without one.......:) - David Cole
I have an EnV and it works just fine. And it has a keyboard that I can manage. I like it. And I'm hearing they are getting rid of them. Dang. - Trace Sharp
Wait, I have an iPhone... and I always assumed that San Diego was heartland :) - Glenn Batuyong via twhirl
I love my iPhone. BUT, it's expensive, lacks key features and mine's been kind of broken for a while. - Eric Berto
@Scoble For those that DO have a decent browser and unlimited plan, how many of them have an iPhone? Maybe look at it that way? - Michael Gaines
I"m getting one AB. But I get your point. Hardly anyone here in Cleveland has one. - Jim Kukral
@directeur I was on 56k until a year ago and still would be if I hadn't moved. And the way the Valley tends to focus back on itself, everyone else tends to feel like the forgotten stepchild now and again. - Michael W. May (Joffi) via twhirl
Who's assuming everyone has iphones? I don't think anyone does... Websites may make iPhone specific sites, but that's because a significant portion of mobile web traffic is from iPhones... - felix
soon...it will be there, within 3 years, question will be "who doesn't have an iPhone..." - Pokai
I'm wondering how the new iPhone will fare in the US once people understand that the new iPhone's 3G service works only "in most major metropolitan areas" (AT&T language - they don't even have a 3G coverage map!). This release certainly has traction in the UK and elsewhere, but I think it's a little premature here in the US. - Linda Mills
I finally got out of my silo this weekend, went into the country a bit, and didn't see one iPhone or BlackBerry or anything else. It's all about coverage, and on the grand scheme of things, cell coverage is still woefully inadequate in the US. - Jared Smith
Until they're free phones or less than $50, most people in the US won't have them. The internet is definitely not a good basis for iPhone popularity. In 3 years the question of "who doesn't have an iPhone" will only be directed towards groups of people who are more into technology than the average American. Most Americans have the attitude of "it's nice but I don't need it" towards the iPhone. - Bob
Due to the girl's smaller size, under 2 KG, she'll be in the NICU, but the boy is already with mom, getting acquainted. Kristine is in recovery from the C-section, but I expect will do well. On with a new stage! - Louis Gray
Yeaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Funny, Milan spent the first three days of his life in that same NICU. They are really great there, so your daughter is in good hands. Names? - Robert Scoble
Lisa: you should open a day care for FriendFeed'ers. Heheh. - Robert Scoble
YAHOO! (the word not the company). Big congrats to Louis & wife. Now the fun REALLY begins. Thanks so much for sharing the experience on Friendfeed. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
That's awesome. Congrats to you and your wife! - John McCrea
Congratulations! We look forward to chatting with them online as soon as you can prop them in front of the computer. ;-) - Chris Baskind
Hmmm.... day care for friendfeeders = new biz model. I gotta got get some VC @now :) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Congrats Louis! And hat's off to Kristine for the long labor followed by the c-section! Glad to hear things are good with the li'l ones. They'll be home before you know it. Fantastic! - Hutch Carpenter
I promise photos soon. Names too. I'm tired and so is Kristine. Thanks for being part of a very real community here on FriendFeed and indulging me. - Louis Gray
Lisa: our house is child proofed just for you. Or is it for the kids? I don't know, but either way, we're ready for the influx of FriendFeeding babies! :-) - Robert Scoble
Louis: if you think you're tired now, just wait a couple of weeks!!! Enjoy your sleep when you can get it. We'll be here when the kids wake you up again. ;-) - Robert Scoble
Congratulations Louis and family! All this twittering / FF'ing on the excitement of babies being born is reminding me of my own sons' births inspiring my proto-social-web baby pool project (admittedly it's Web 1.5 - not all shiny/ajaxy but hey, it debuted in 2004 which is like a lifetime ago in web-years). Anyway, thus ends my shameless plug: http://bebepool.com/ - Micah Wittman
Congrats, Louis. I was (and am) a twin, 2lbs, 6oz though. 4mos premature. - Andrew Feinberg
Louis - you are one of the anchors here on Friendfeed! It's been an honor sharing this experience with you, and your family. Wishing you, Kristine, and the twins the sweetest of dreams. Sleep well. You deserve it! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Wholehearted congrats. Our first was in the NICU after being born premature and those folks do wonders. Dylan is now a tall, healthy, 48-inch-tall five year old towering above the rest... - Chris Reed
Luis fantastic duded. Congratulations to you and your wife!! - Alexander van Elsas
Congratulations Louis & Kristine, & welcome to your son & daughter! You're tired now? Wait 19 years...I have twin daughters that age; I can barely type ;-) ! Twins are special, all enjoy your new life together. - David Peacock via twhirl
Congratulations to you and Kristine on your new arrivals, really proud for you both! - Joe Dawson
Well done - the hard work starts now! Our youngest was in NICU for three weeks (he was 4 10 and had to be delivered seven weeks early as my wife had a life threatening condition), but the great thing about NICU baby's (well in the UK anyway) is that they get trained to sleep!!! - Andy Davies
Mazal Tov to the new parents! Congrats!!! - Mike Fruchter
Congrats Louis and glad to hear mother and twins are fine and enjoy your rest you'll need it! Only 12 weeks before our new one arrives and I'll be going through the same thing :) - Russ G
Congratulations Louis. Brilliant news! - Chris Nixon
Congrats! Hope everything goes really well! - Matt Cutts
there are so many comments here i can't possibly read them all, but that's awesome louis, congrats to you and your wife. do the babies have names yet? - MG Siegler
Congratulations! All our best wishes to mum, babies and your good self! - John Samuelson
Congratulations! As a life-long end user of parenting, I know that you will require the best of luck. And here's a towel, just in case. The towel will be with you... always. - Cyvros/fyc
I think I teared up there a little bit. Congratulations Louis! I know how exhausted you guys are and hope you're getting some much deserved rest right now. You're all in my thoughts this weekend. - Carla Thompson
