Well, Robert isn't a typical user. I only follow 700 people on twitter and that is intentional, not because I can't find more. Not sure what typical number of followers is though

Where is the client/platform that lets me control my filters? FB tries to do it automatically, but isolates me from things. Twitter to too much.

- Stephen Pickering
Facebook basically *forces* users to post graphics if they want to get any attention. There's a feedback loop where posts with graphics get more likes and comments, therefore they get higher in the newsfeed and therefore FB tweaks the algorithm to bump stuff w/graphics, and then organizations that follow FB trends feel compelled to post graphics or videos.

But YOUR lists are not exactly for the subscribers, it's a jump start but it takes time to steal the ones in the list for a personal list. It's a good start but G+ does a better job to clone a circle then modify to your needs.

Robert, I've been looking for some subject matter to test one online course on 8 to 10 different platforms. Would you be interested in providing an instructional video on how to tune your FB feed?

- Murray Macdonald
Mark: you're wrong. Google+ is an abortion. I can't do anything like what I just did on Google+ to get you started.
- Robert Scoble
I agree and disagree Robert. My point was I can clone your list and then filter for me. That is a huge hole in the FB list features.

Microsoft could charge "mob rate" pricing for four reasons: (1) It was a software suite; (2) They were usually bundled with computers so they offered a "solution" or "system"; (3) The software "spoke" to one another; and (4) There was some stability so businesses trusted it.

Grand Hyatt Union Square. Where's disrupt this time?
- Kevin Marks
@Scoble: Agreed. But do you think in the long term, will people buy from Twitter?; how will Twitter be able to claim advertising from its platform as effective (it is true mobile, but may have to create discount coupons that expire within 1 hour of setting off geo-fencing - granted, this is a challenge for all - but I see it more as a challenge for them since their transactions are so short).
- Chien-Yu Lin
@Chien-Yu: I see it is both, but I in my role I focus on customer service. It is a Starter Environment for initiating complaints, that are usually taken off line. It can also be a Fostering Environment; when an angry tweet falls on deaf ears it can foster collaboration (in some case "rallying the troops", in some cases others coming to the aid of the suffering Tweeter).
- Charlie Isaacs
@Isaacs: But do you find the speed of Twitter is more helpful than the granularity and details of Facebook? I know each has its place, but in the long run, would it not be easier for FB to just mimic Twitter than Twitter to build a profile base and communication platform?

Sorry @Chien-Yu, got pulled off on a call :) That was a fantastic show, BTW. I like Twitter for its instantaneous activity capabilities -- you can Tweet something and get a response within seconds, whereas, FB has more of a delay.

@Chien-Yu @issacs G+ has more delay than FB. But comes into its own talking-in-circles. {replaces email in the enterprise?}
- clive boulton
@cliveb @Chien-Yu Well, put on your "vendor filter" but of course I am biased towards Chatter, that replaces email in our enterprise, and many others... G+ is like Chatter in many ways but it isn't integrated into the other mission-critical apps in the enterprise. For example, you should be able to collaborate around any enterprise "activity" -- Leads, Cases, Interactions, etc. and it should feed into a common thread for you without having to cut and paste everything manually. You can't do that with G+.
- Charlie Isaacs
@Isaacs: Keep your "vendor filter" on. We're building a SAP/G+ app for nitty-gritty enterprise activity like chasing shortages.

Robert Scoble is absolutely right about the "strolling down the street, looking for food" scenario. As for user cases, its not about "when you would use it"; its about "the contextual mediation engine" to be developed. Once Gimbal is set, its about how the user can use it.

Kevin: yes, and I retweeted it too. I totally agree with that article.

By the way, Mark Solomon @solomonomolos on Twitter is gonna join me. He worked at HP on the Palm team, so who knows what we'll talk about.

A year ago quarter revs were 700 million, this years quarter revs were 1 billion, that's 30% yoy growth, which if you times 30 x 1 billion, I'd give FB a valuation of 30 billion at this point in time

Of course the bigger problem is that we have no idea how much the dollar is going to be worth in 5 years. Right now the market is awash in liquidity

Bought FB at $35, got stopped out at $32, bought it back at 32. If I get stopped out again, I'm done

The market has a bias against metal benders like Apple versus media companies like Google, Facebook
- Stephen Pickering
But Apple doubled profits off a 6 billion dollar base the year before. Has any company in history done that?
- Stephen Pickering
FB can maybe double users twice more, if it gets every mobile user on earth. they need to grow revenue per user enormously to justify the valuation.

- Johnny C
somehow when my mic is leve I can't hear you

A winning advertising model will be more subtle, more integrated with stronger social ties, won't feel like advertising. That's why businesses of all sorts are struggling to understand social media.

Kind of LOL about Robert trying to work himself up against quiet, steadfast Kevin. Much easier for things to escalate when Robert goes against Danny Sullivan, or back in the day with Jason Calacanis.
- Laura Norvig
There's not much to say about it — other than it's overhyped, not worth the price currently. In the long run, it might be a big winner; but when you have so many investors willing to buy stock in a company that has not really figured out how to make money or is still experimenting and has a CEO who just spent $1 billion on a company without revenues, it is still a BIG RISK at the...

if "unlimited data" means way more people use your network than you thought would use it and you have to spend Billions to try to make the network be able to keep up, then unlimited data can be a bad decision.
