FriendFeed update. Paul Buchheit wrote me and said he's been very sick the past few days. That might explain why he hasn't engaged the way we want. He also offered to do an interview with me to discuss the future of FriendFeed and what they are doing at Facebook soon. We're working that out, hopefully soon (but might not be until November sometime)

I don't know if that's a good idea for you, Robert. You might be better off making a clean break from FriendFeed.

Thanks Robert, that's great news! Paul, hope you feel better...
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Bruce: FriendFeed=Facebook. So, I'm interested in what he's doing and I'm a big fan of Facebook's. Twitter needs some competition. The Fail Whale is getting to me.
- Robert Scoble
Another reliable update.
- ashish
I know it's a stretch but can we gather specific questions for Paul to answer?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
When other sites like twitter come out with new features, you want to be at the front of the excited crowd. FriendFeed will make you into that curmudgeon who's always saying, "So what? They did that two years ago at FriendFeed."

I guess the rusty wheel gets the oil...

Cjay: I've been working on this interview since before Facebook bought FriendFeed. :-)
- Robert Scoble
manielse: well, the interview isn't on 100% yet and now that I've talked about it in public who knows what will happen? But if it does happen of course we'll get you involved.
- Robert Scoble
Cjay: I might be a rusty wheel, but remember two things: 1. I put many many thousands of hours into FriendFeed before the sale, bringing my audience over here at great risk to my personal brand. Lots of "experts" like Mike Arrington told me I was wrong to do that. 2. I'm still here.

OMGAWWWWW he still has "it"

But yes I would agree that allowing and or resting your personal branding on a service thats based on a cloud application with it's roots depending on a social network model is very risky.

Cjay: actually it's not. It just looks risky.

To those giving Scoble crap for being on FF, aren't you tired of that? You all have been doing that for at least a year. Enough. For us on FF, we'd love to see an interview, thanks.

The question "what does a post iPhone world look like" is cool. The rambling about twittering a machine in a hospital is nonsense.

Agreed. I think he just means making them internet enabled/aware and then exposing a communications API to communicate with them. The time for that is WAAAAAY past.
- Internet's Tad
True. But Twitter? heh, no.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Seriously Jason? Nonsense? A public and open place where people interact with other people AND objects that interface with people, such as machines and equipment? With timestamps for checks and balances? You're off here.
- drew olanoff
That doesn't really sound like twitter drew. That sounds like maybe something Twitter could be an extension of/to, but I don't want my hardware comm dependent on a single, flaky service like Twitter.
- Internet's Tad
There was a small trace of this recently with a tool that allows one to "control" your own PC. The limitations are many, but it is worthwhile as a hint of what may come. I don't think that I would want it to be a Twitter text interface. Instead, I would think that a something more akin to FriendFeed's rooms with graphic objects might be better. That groups devices logically and...

Jason: why not? It's a query language we're all being trained to use. Did you know you can already query the border crossing between Washington State and Canada and find out the wait time there? There's also a buoy in Half Moon Bay that's Tweeting. And lots of other objects already. Why NOT an IV machine?

Tad: lots of devices are dependent on a single flaky OS like Windows. Doesn't seem to hurt their utility! :-)

Mission critical apps dependent on the fail whale? No thank you. Twitter is more at home in the realm of ephemeral infotainment.
- LogEx
OS is a bit different than a communications service. But I'm guessing you wouldn't REALLY want to connect up medical machines with anything less than a rock solid communcations service... Twitter in its current incarnation certainly wouldn't qualify. I think we get your general gist, though, and I agree.

Who will build the eyeglasses that get us post-monitor. Or the sensing devices or implants that get us post-input. Watch game companies.

Keep us juiced and thinking, Robert! Love it.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Think about the interface between devices and the "attention economy". There will need to be a way to manage what and who people need to pay attention to in a variety of time scales, some by minute and others by day or even less.
- JR Holmes
From Robert's original idea about a tweet-enabled device, that is nothing that makes that necessary. Why not just have a hospital IRC channel and a way to monitor device status via that channel. Since it is internal, it can be secure and yet exposed via a VPN if a doctor wants to monitor remotely. This perfectly reflects Robert's original conception of devices using text commands (and...

This sort of real time messaging already exists with Tibco and IQ messaging and a host of other SOA systems. Although I admit it's not as easy to use as the examples being stated. It's also massively expensive and difficult to implement.

Companies with revenues exceeding $1 billion—along with business-to-business organizations—are more likely to report benefits than are smaller companies or consumer companies. Among functions, respondents in information technology, business development, and sales and marketing are more likely to report seeing benefits at various levels than are those in finance or purchasing. IT executives, in general, are more focused on using Web tools to achieve internal improvements, while business development and sales functions often rely on the technologies to deliver better insights into markets or to interact with consumers.

Bad marketers on FriendFeed will survive in search results. Do a search for a couple of terms like 'canon 135mm' and you'll see plenty of entries that are just links to people selling the lens. You're not going to block them all. I don't see that as a big problem, but I suspect they'll be successful enough there to keep them coming.

If I were Guy, or the head of any company, be it a camera shop or whatever, whenever I had a little free time, I'd tweet out, "Hey, I'm going to be on FriendFeed for an hour or so, answering any questions about Alltop, telling you about its features, advantages, and benefits, come join in!" or something like that.

Marketing guys have always been here. The difference... tactics and respect.

The marketers are already here, but most of them are totally clueless about how friendfeed works. They somehow think they can dump their stuff here and it will get "found" and when that doesn't work, they just go back to twitter. The ones that do understand how it works either feel it is too much damn work to fake being real to be worth it, or they are the real deal and it works quite well for them.

Tonight's dinner viewing. Time to see what the fuss was all about. I have never, ever watched a single episode of this show. Until now.

You arent going to find the fuss in the first season

Yea - I am not sure that Buffy really stands the test of time ;D all tho - Vampires are trending again!

I did something similar with Arrested Development a couple of years ago. I *really* like that show now, and I felt bad for having dismissed it when it first came out. This may or may not be a similar experience... This is actually Season 2.

I'm about in the same boat. Never caught the Buffy virus.

There are many, many other shows that I've never seen that everybody talks about. My TV is on maybe twice a month. Other than for DVD player and PS2 use (which are also pretty rare). No exaggeration. My TV just sits there and collects dust. I'm on the internet for my after work fun.

Even season one of buffy was fun to watch. I agree that it doesn't hit it's stride until S2, but there is still joss whedon fun to be had. :)

So far I'm not too impressed... I thought the writing was supposed to be so great. It seems kind of stilted. I'm letting it play in the background. I'll look up which episodes are the highlights of Season 2 before I take it back to the library.

I agree with others that 1st season won't hook you. Subsequent seasons likely will, tho.

Hm, Cibo Matto all of a sudden. It gets +2 for that....

I'd completely forgotten that Buffy was really good about spotlighting some decent bands in that one club they hung at. Also, Buffy didn't get good for me until the puppet episode of S1, but S2 as a whole was great.

I didn't cave and start watching Buffy until late in the game. I was already hooked and thus watching earlier seasons was more interesting to me.

I didn't like Buffy at first. It wasn't until I started watching Angel that I went back and got into Buffy. Then I liked both shows.
