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.

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.

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.

- Steve Rubel
@Steve haha true
- Chris Saad
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.

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.

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.
