Video Interview: The Posterous Team on their Vision, Strategy and Growth - http://www.steverubel.com/video-i...
They've done all that with two guys until now? Wow. - Tom Landini
Amazing, huh? - Steve Rubel from email
whens the iphone app coming out? - Tyler J. Gillies PhD
Tyler, not sure. But I saw a beta. - Steve Rubel from email
Robert Scoble
Wow, I just saw something stealth coming out at TechCrunch's real time Crunchup on Friday that's going to bring blogging back. Big time.
http://www.techcrunch.com/real-ti... is the CrunchUp. Stick around for the after lunch session. Very cool. - Robert Scoble
i thought rubel said blogging was dead? :) - Allen Stern
Do Tell! - Bill Heslin
Allen: Steve Rubel will bring his blog back after Friday. - Robert Scoble
wow nice - Allen Stern
Bill: I can't tell, agreed to an embargo, but you're already getting a preview. Just think about your blog now (or mine). :-) - Robert Scoble
Oh shoot..this is Real time web..can't wait till Friday - Bill Heslin
Blogging was dead? - Ara Pehlivanian
Real Time is where it's at. - Robert Scoble
too bad sites like mine can't be ready to post about it :( - Allen Stern
Ara: have I blogged this week? If I had what is coming on Friday I would blog a lot more. - Robert Scoble
Uhmmm tablet tablet... - Francisco Espinoza
FriendFeed Pro? - Chris Saad
<pops thread out> - Curtis Jackson
Allen: embargoes suck. I know. But you should be one of the first sites to use this. - Robert Scoble
FriendFeed Pro....oh no please :S - Francisco Espinoza
i dont even have an embargo robert - oh well, no worries - Allen Stern
Shhh...nobody tell Steve Rubel. - Judd6149
Oooooh! like that Chris...FF Pro - Bill Heslin
Chris: no. Not FriendFeed Pro. Although if FriendFeed were smart they'd buy the company after Friday. - Robert Scoble
Data Portability Exporter 1.0 ? :-P - Allen Stern
blogging never died. Some things make it easier and better. http://posterous.com - Dj Skunk Diesel
Oh your bad Robert...lol.... - Bill Heslin
Allen: there is a lot of data portability in what I saw, yes. - Robert Scoble
i think Data Portability is the future :D </obvious statement> - Chris Saad
Dj: it is going to be interesting to see how this changes people's approach to blogging and Tumblr/Posterous. - Robert Scoble
Dj: it is going to be very interesting to talk with Steve Rubel on Friday afternoon after the demo. - Robert Scoble
it's the first ever virtual blogging tool - you just imagine your posts and they appear! - Allen Stern
Allen: I imagine that you appear and you do, how do you do that? :-) - Robert Scoble
Another service of "tumblog"? - Francisco Espinoza
He's funny like dat...lol... - Bill Heslin
oh i just bought guy's package - i have hired a team of allen's - for example, i am the evening shift allen (allen2.1 internally) - the night allen arrives at 11pm (allen 4.2 internally) - Allen Stern
Am I that far behind? Why is blogging dead, and by real time you are talking about more than live stream video? - Justin "JDOG" Marks
Hmmm. Sounds like FF benefits from this. - Nick in Manila
Nick: FriendFeed might benefit, yes. JDOG: we are talking about real time text. Just like here. - Robert Scoble
Allen: you are cracking me up. So fun! =) - Miiko Mentz from iPhone
miiko - sometimes we all need to smile, that's my job as Allen2.1 - Allen Stern
Allen: personally I like the morning shift better. Since I'm in London I'll go to sleep now and wait for him to show up. - Robert Scoble
Got it: real time text stream = "blog." Blogging is dead; long live blogging!! - Tom Guarriello
remember when techCrunch said they were gonna break embargoes... you should, too - Marco
aah still in london! get off ff and have some fun - Allen Stern
Allen: I was off FriendFeed all day! - Robert Scoble
How can you bring something back that isn't gone. Have you seen the WordPress growth numbers? They have been very consistent and very impressive for many, many months. - Missionary Broadcasting
Missionary: well, I have definitely left a lot of my blogging due to real time interactions like these, but I don't have page views to worry about. - Robert Scoble
Now ur both making me laugh. Good times! - Miiko Mentz from iPhone
Can we mere mortals watch it online - Mark
Mark: I don't know about video, but I'm sure that the second this gets announced it will be discussed on FriendFeed to death. - Robert Scoble
miiko - be nice or i get out the voodoo doll! - Allen Stern
Thanks Robert. I'm starting to "get it" just thinking how to implement this in my niche - Justin "JDOG" Marks
I just add a lot of this other stuff to the blogging I'm already doing. Most savvy bloggers are doing the same thing. They sort of all fit together in my world. - Missionary Broadcasting
it's after 3am in London - Ian May
somehow this feels like a test of the "tc50 and demo broadcast system" - im sure we will see more of these "oh hot damn i just saw x but i cant talk about it until y" posts come sept. - Allen Stern
Allen, why do companies talk to people about products and then tell them they must tell no one about it? I mean, since no one can talk about it, no extra excitement is generated? I don't really get it - Mark
Allen, gotta luv the voodoo doll. ;) - Miiko Mentz from iPhone
@Allen, to give the individual an opportunity to form an opinion and write a well thought out article when the service launches. - Darren
Mark, tomorrow's event will be streamed live. Hopefully it all goes smoothly. - Miiko Mentz from iPhone
Mark - embargoes give writers a chance to test and play before the tool goes live - so the posts should be better than just press release copy - i rarely ever mention a product before it goes live - scoble likes to build excitement about what he sees. i just wish that more companies learned that excluisves are bad for startups - Allen Stern
Thanks Allen - Mark
Mark: PR people tell me they use embargoes so that they can brief a large number of people without pissing anyone off. If I wrote about this stealth company tonight, for instance, lots of other journalists would get pissed off at the company. Some, like TechCrunch, even refuse to write about companies if they aren't given equal access. It also, like Allen says, gives writers a chance to produce videos and test out products so they can write more authoritatively about them. - Robert Scoble
So its largely to stop competing blogs, sites etc from complaining that Site X got earlier access than Site Y for example? - Mark
Robert/Allen, well said. Mark, in theory, yes. But it doesn't always work out that way. - Miiko Mentz from iPhone
So what was all the fuss Arrington was making last year about embargoes? Didn't he say he would violate every single one? - Mark
I can't wait to hear about it! - Joshua M
Mark: Arrington just said he reserves the right to break embargoes when he wants. Usually if the company deals with him straight up he'll agree to the embargo. What I hate are companies that give some people special deals. Apple does this all the time, which is why I never go to Apple press conferences anymore. - Robert Scoble
a good example of poor choices are YC startups - they go to tc/sent to tc/etc and miss so many more opportunities for coverage - works well for TC tho - they always get a HN frontpage. - Allen Stern
Hint? - Scott Williams from BuddyFeed
scott - he said "after lunch" so check which startups are presenting after lunch lol - Allen Stern
Notes like this really make me long to be in the Bay area. One day Sheryl and I will move there. It's our plan. - Ken Camp
Thank you Backtype for bringing this to me. I can't wait to hear about whatever this is. - Steve Rubel
Robert how will we know when this thing your talking about is public? How will you update us? - Chris Saad
@Chris - you won't miss it. He will be on a unicorn that everyone is talking about. JK - looking forward to this - Steve Rubel
@Steve haha true - Chris Saad
So I wonder what this would mean for newspapers. - Michael from iPhone
Can't wait to hear more. I hope it's a tool to make it easy to aggregate content into blog posts -- that's what I've been wishing for lately. Sometimes I have up to ten browser tabs open to pull in all the urls, images, videos and quotes I want to include in a new blog post. - Andy Kaplan-Myrth
cool ... buzz .... buzzz!!! :) - Susan Beebe from BuddyFeed
It will be interesting to see what it is. Maybe my guest bloggers will cover the story. I am on a worklife summer break! Blogger since '02. - Martin Lindeskog
Robert Blogging has never gone away! Not in my book. - Sandra Large
Scoble, are you referring to LazyFeed ? - Ahsan Ali
We here at Posterous are looking forward to the announcement. Innovation is always great -- can't wait to see what's going down on Friday. - Garry Tan
Sounds a lot like LazyFeed: http://www.louisgray.com/live... - twitscoop
Just what we need! - ZuDfunck
Lazyfeed sounds like a combo of feedly and backtype, with categories - Ahsan Ali
Blogging straight from my brain coming tomorrow! Hook me up! - Michael Buechele
@Michael For the love of gods, don't invoke Zobzee! - Sam Harrelson
All this is making me wish Friday comes sooner. For me it will be another 24 hours away as I presume @Scoble is referring to US PST. - Vinko
Robert! U R such a TEASE! *giggle* - Arleen Anderson
hmmm I wonder what this is.... - Marko Saric
I guess it's this: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... ... The WordPress Jabber client - Marko Saric
No, the blog is not dead by any means http://lifestreamblog.com/should-... but Lifestreaming is almost a necessary component needed for supplementing them with the advent of real-time http://lifestreamblog.com/you-say... - Mark Krynsky
so TC has come out with 300 invites to LazyFeed (which are sadly gone), any going here? :P - Marlin Forbes

Steve seems the first comment on this post requires some moderation from you. Location based services are going to be very exciting! - Peter du Toit
@Peter, thanks. Deleted it. - Steve Rubel from email
Location Based and Real Time are going to have a big crossover. Imagine entering a Conversation (let's say Friendfeed) based on location. i.e. you in downtown buffalo and suddenly a conversation from a Friendfeed group pops up on our smart phone regarding a happy hour full of like minded peeps 2 blocks away. By the time you arrive you already know who you want to connect with based on conversation and social graph. Just thinking. - Deano @ Byron New Media

Paul Buchheit
We just added a "Best of day" link at the bottom of the page. The best part is that it works for friend lists too, so you can have a "Best of day from family", etc. Thanks to Matt Cutts for the suggestion (http://friendfeed.com/mattcut...)
Picture 121.png
awesome, but pls bring this to the iphone too... i really miss best of day on the iphone - Zee.
Suggested Tuesday, implemented Thursday. #wonderful - Mitch
Nice! I was just thinking about this today, but it'd also be awesome to have a "Best of" link for user profiles as well, so it'd be easy to see which of a users (or yourself) updates/posts were the most popular - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
This is huge news for me, thanks! - Robert Scoble from iPhone
What Sean said. It will also be useful to decide whether to subscribe to a user or not. - Vishy
I agree -- soon I hope. - Paul Buchheit
The "by list" portion is very important. Well done. - Louis Gray
*falls on floor* - Johnny Worthington
w00t! I got a "file not found" error on the iPhone, but I'm hoping that's temporary. This is rocking--thanks for adding this feature! - Matt Cutts
You guys are full of incredibleness today - Charlie Anzman
Boy, you're just cranking the improvements out! Amazing stuff! - Rick Cogley
sweet - Alfredo
this is good. how about also adding best of week and month and putting the same tool on searches as well? - Thomas Hawk
Awesome...I've really missed this since the redesign. - Mark Krynsky
And guess who comes up twice as soon as I click this new feature...? Paul Buchheit!!! :-) - Ton Zijp
This is great but hopefully will be expanded to groups, users and saved searches too? And agree with Thomas about best of week/month too. - Kol Tregaskes
Friendfeed, you ROCK! - alfred westerveld
I found the link long before this post. Very cool. - Russellreno
Can we get email/IM alerts for "Best of Day" for lists? I would love to get these pushed to me. Thx. - Steve Rubel
WOW I love you guys I missed the feature sooooo bad!!! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
I've been waiting for this for ages. Fantastic. - Meryn Stol

This feature was on the previous version of friendfeed.... Why not put the link on the TOP of the page as well ? - David Berrebi
For long I wanted nested comments. Now, I cannot comment somebody's comment. - Nitin Nanivadekar

@Bryan, to do so you need to either a) paste in the URL for the image itself or b) if it's attached, edit your post later. - Steve Rubel from email

I left a comment on the posterous site, but I have to say: I don't like the posterous commenting system very much. It doesn't appear to be threaded, and it links to my _posterous_ profile rather than letting me specify what to link to. My posterous profile only shows my posterous content. That kind of walled garden is annoying in 2009. - DGentry
Actually, you can add any site you want if you log out of your Posterous account. I agree though, it needs threaded comments. I will relay that back to them when I see the Posterous team this week. - Steve Rubel from email
I'd prefer to not have to log out of my posterous account, but I guess thats a viable alternative. If you're meeting with them soon, one other suggestion of something to talk about: I added links to my profile with rel="me". Their site removed the rel=me, and surprisingly did not add rel="nofollow". In fact none of the links on my posterous have a nofollow. Thats their choice of course, but aren't they concerned about spambots automating creation of posterous accounts in order to harvest pagerank? - DGentry
I just tried it, creating a new posterous from a different email account. I was able to include links to arbitrary sites, without a nofollow. This could be automated easily. If someone attempted to do this on a large scale posterous would surely notice, but nonetheless spambots might try it. - DGentry
I submitted the observations about nofollow as feedback on the posterous site. I also submitted a request to allow rel="me", as it seems harmless. - DGentry
thanks for sharing... been looking for something like this for my iPhone. - andy
