The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was. ~ Walt West

FYI to Twitter Users: If you follow me and you use the default Avatar, I will never follow you back. Also to spammers, at least you could make a little effort and come up with a fake face.

+1. Actually I don't automatically return follows on Twitter because Twitter's lack of specialized feeds like FriendFeed means my home page would rapidly turn into the noise nightmare that my FB home page currently is. Filtering is key to any such service being usable, and Twitter has no such native feature. Thus, returned follows on Twitter are reserved for people who *really* interest me
- LANjackal
A friend of mine, serial entrepreneur, crack programmer, etc missed the Twitter boat until yesterday when he signed up. I immediately DM'd him to change his avatar away from the default for exactly the reason you stated.
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
metagoeff - yeah I would def recommend anyone to do that before they follow anyone. :)
- Mike Bracco
Also people who have no profile or one with no real information in it, don't get followed back by me.
- Todd Brunner
I also go as far as blocking the obvious spammers too
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
^ I used to block spammers, but don't bother any more since my Twitter updates are public and anyone can grab the RSS feed anyway
- LANjackal
it just feels good to block them
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
I always wonder why one eye is bigger than the other.
- david
David, I always thought it was two birds on a wire or something, but I could be wrong of course. By now there are actually more actual newbies without an avatar/photo than spammers. The spammers are getting cleverer by the day in terms of creating semi-realistic profiles (including importing tweets from a number of other peeps). Some newbies can benefit from a friendly DM asking them to fill out their profile + photo for better results.

Anyone use things as their full time task management app? http://culturedcode.com/things...
Parth Awasthi, Ozkan Altuner, Kreg Steppe and 23 other people liked this
i'm asking primarily because i have questions...but there's no forum really for them on the CulturedCode site. Was wondering whether it would be worth setting up a group for the app - if there are enough users out there
- Zee.
I do, have done for a while. What's up?
- Keith Bennett
although it's probably the best task management app i've come across...I'm confused about things like postponing the date on a task...that doesn't remove it from the "today" list. Why not? And I can click on "not today", that will do it but does that mean it wont appear in my today list ever?
- Zee.
ive got more questions btw, but thats one of them :P
- Zee.
The Today list doesn't have anything to do with due dates. It's just a list of things you'd like to get accomplished today. In other words, the Today list doesn't care which day it is and has no concept of overdue tasks. If you have a due date, or if you'd like to postpone something and have it automatically reappear later, you can change it to a scheduled task which will bump it back into Today on the day you choose. Otherwise, it'll camp out in the Next list.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Actually there's a forum : http://culturedcode.com/things...
- Chris
by the way if you haven't bought a copy yet, give "the hit list" a try... I've used all the GTD-apps out there, but this one is really making your life easier, especially with its unbelievable keyboard shortcuts. You won't regret it. http://www.potionfactory.com/thehitl...
- msevim
Ah i see Akiva, that makes things much clearer! @Chris - thank you, i couldn't find the damn thing.
- Zee.
Yeah, The Hit List is really good too. In fact I use both. One for work, one for private stuff..
- Chris
@muhammetsevim I did actually try thehitlist (and loved it because of the outliner like features) but if there's one thing that nearly every todo list app i've every tried has been missing is reordering of "today's tasks". Things is the only app I've come across that allows for in depth organisation as well as reordering of your today list.
- Zee.
I've been looking at this. Currently using remember the milk. Wondering what the benefits would be of Things over RTM?? Anyone used both?
- Robert DeBord
Yeah, i've used RTM - and frankly my biggest gripe with it was the ordering of lots of lists. I ended up with about half a page of lists before i could reach the actual todo list. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't any manual reordering of tasks either...
- Zee.
Thanks Zee, I can definitely see where that would be a problem. So far I don't have more than a dozen lists, but even that gets a little much.
- Robert DeBord
Also, Things has such an attractive interface, it makes it a pleasure to use. Personally, I can't stand web-based software (which is why I don't use stuff like Gmail or Hiveminder). Give me a nice-looking, fully-featured desktop client that can sync with my phone over anything else any day of the week.
- Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva, for sure, although i wish Things had a better syncing mechanism. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if you spend an hour organising your todo's in the morning...then leave home forgetting to sync it - you're screwed right?
- Zee.
Yeah. That's the one place where OmniFocus wins; it allows you to use WebDAV. I'm hoping that Things allows this in future versions, too. In the meanwhile, I've just trained myself to sync Things when I'm leaving the house and I know I've made changes.
- Akiva Moskovitz
right, yeah - think i'm going to have to learn to do the same
- Zee.
Another idea is to sync immediately after you're done messing with it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
what happens if you make changes on the desktop, forget to sync, make changes on your phone during the day, then come back home and sync?
- Zee.
Things is really smart about merges. I've never had a conflict that didn't work out logically.
- Akiva Moskovitz
yes! I simply love this app.
- ialla
things does look as the best desktop app. but.. syncing via web makes much more sense.. I will not (tested and proven :)) will be able to remember doing the sync when i leave.. i keep using RTM just because it's always there for me.. so.. i'll wait to see what they'll do
- Naor Mark
Just started using Things quite heavily. It's been pretty awesome so far.
- Arlan Koizumi
For those of you looking for web-based sync, you should e-mail the developers and let them know. The more they hear about it, the more likely they are to include the feature.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Tried but never got used to it. Mostly because there's no way to use it crossplatform...
- Ralph
i reckon there are enough users here to justify a group, I'd join and prefer interacting with friendfeed than a standard forum
- Franz Sittampalam
If someone creates a group, I'll join it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
just hesitant in case the devs would be against it
- Franz Sittampalam
from IM
Just an idea: syncing via MobileMe would be just perfect. Like Wallet from Acrylic sw does (unfortunately I cannot use it, since not available in the european app store).
- ialla
I would join a group too. I don't use the desktop app so syncing isn't a bugbear for me but I adore the iPhone app which keeps me sane and involves less time organising and more time doing!
- Nico
great app! I'm still wating for its online version. ;)
- Serkan Unsal
i wish they synced with Remember the Milk
- Ouriel Ohayon
@Ouriel, that would be great although RTM's data model is much simpler (at least it looks so), yet with some smart mapping to lists and tags...(one of these moments i wish i was still coding and could try that :))
- Naor Mark
Used and liked it all though the beta, but moved over to RTM when the product finally launched. I think its WAY too expensive for what it is, especially considering that RTM is just as good and free.
- Todd Brunner
from twhirl
do RTM fans miss out on an inbox for when they don't have an internet connection? An ideal inbox needs to be omnipotent for me...
- Franz Sittampalam
from IM
@shedali It's not a problem for me because I work at home, so I don't spen a lot of time away from my computer. Plus you can tweet tasks to RTM from your phone, so if you can send an SMS you always have an inbox.

Unfortunately Kol, I'm unable to use this because of my archaic Windows 2000 OS.

I'm just downloading and trying it. Looks interesting although it requires .NET 3.5 so it will likely be as much of a memory hog as most AIR apps.
- Kenton
tried this today, and my biggest complaint is that it seemed to insist on using IE to open items.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
second complaint was the response time...very slow. - I Did like the RSS feeds in it. but that's not enough to give up my PeopleBrowsr.

Installing now. On the face of it, this looks like exactly what I'm looking for.
- Todd Brunner

Ah, shame, Sharon. Rob, really? That's pants! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol: yes I played with it for a while, and didn't see the means to change it (and IE is certainly not my default browser!) Though this app looks like it could be cool, the .NET and Microsoft reliance are not for me. I thought on first run that the interface needed work. I liked the design layout and the multi-network connectivity, but it seemed to have been missing a lot of the features...

- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
wow that demo is really impressive but from what rob has to say i have to agree that id stick to peoplebrowsr for now. need to read up more on this, looks exciting
- Freddie Benjamin
I retried this app, and it did not use my IE. Very weird. I haven't figured out what makes it use the one browser instead of the other. It was a pretty nice app, but I still think that it needs some work to be ready for the big time. Basicall there's nothing in sobees that's not in PeopleBrowsr BUT it's considerably less complicated than PB's advanced mode. The sobees response time was still not very good on my second run.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
IMO, For more casual users this application may be a nice solution. If you aren't a power-tweeter, and want an integrated "social desktop" application, give this a try. If you're more of a power user I would recommend PeopleBrowsr.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Finally gave PeopleBrowsr a whirl on the strength of Rob's endorsements. Wow. It's TweetDeck done better!
- Kathy Fitch
Kathy: In Lite mode it is exactly that. In Advanced mode, it's a complete "Social Desktop" (And Thanks! )

Kol - Switched from Sobees to BDule ... Much more stable under Win 7 here
- Charlie Anzman
bdule is only a small part of the sobees application. useful, but not the full experience by any stretch.

- John Apps

Tried it for a while, but stopped. I found it way too slow to be useful.

Charlie: When you say light version you mean the bDule version?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
i install this but is giving me an error because it won't start (application say that there is one process that needs to be made...) how can i solve.
- Laurentiu
my suspicion is that you don't have .NET 3.5 properly installed. I've also noticed that exiting the application once running will not necessarily clear all of its processes out of active memory. A false start may leave the partial set running. You may need to use the task manager to end any associated processes (or reboot if that is easier)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Shame its not available for the mac :(

Charlie, is BDule just for Twitter and FB?

Hmm. I must have missed something. I just thought it was weird and incomprehensible.
- Leo Laporte
Leo - Did you like Blue Velvet or Wild at Heart? some people just plain don't like David Lynch. And I found Mulholland Drive to be weird and incomprehensible as well, but brilliant.
- Tad
I liked Blue Velvet a lot. Twin Peaks, too. Mullholland Drive is much less coherent than his earlier stuf.
- Leo Laporte
I saw Blue Velvet at too early an age. :(
- Derrick
Anthony. What makes this movie brilliant? I use the term movie loosely because it was originally a pilot for ABC which is one of the reasons it's narrative is horribly incomplete.
- Gregg Scott
The scene I just posted is absolutely brilliant.
- Tad
Leo, just wait until you see INLAND EMPIRE. Mulholland Drive is like the most coherent movie ever made in comparison. :) MD is actually very coherent, you just have to watch it two or three times first.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Apparently Leo's never seen Eraserhead. Or Lost Highway. Both make Mulholland Drive look like There's Something About Mary.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Watching Eraserhead is like having your brain pulled inside out and then set on fire.
- Tad
I think Eraserhead and Wild at Heart are the only two Lynch films I've never seen. Oh, and Fire Walk With Me.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy - you totally need to get with the Wild at Heart. wow - Can't be a Lynch fan if you haven't seen that!
- Tad
It's on my DVR, actually, unless it deleted it. *checks* Nope, still have it. Ooh, also have Diary of a Chambermaid, which is Bunuel, so it's probably trippy. And Blowup, which is at least mod London... I should watch some of these.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Dunno about that, Tad. Wild at Heart is, by far, my least favorite Lynch movie. It's the closest he ever gets to losing it and going straight into accidental self-parody.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I've seen them all and am a big Lynch fan. @Gregg - at a very high level I found the multi-layered storyline brilliant (while challenging), esp. with regard to human delusion and fantasy; I found the film's visual landscape incredible; and there are countless moments in the film that are touching in some way (sometimes more than one way.).
- Anthony Citrano
also called, "backstabbing prop8 protesters vs. little tiny old people"
- Noah David Simon
Gregg, yeah, it's incomplete - you're right, when you know the history of it as a TV pilot, you can see those seams, but even in general it's incomplete because it's a dreamscape. I've never had a dream that was complete. Not everything ties up absolutely, but that's okay...it doesn't have to. It works thematically and emotionally.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
the best part about this movie is in the end the little tiny old people bring the lesbians to hell. am I wrong here?
- Noah David Simon
@Noah. You are wrong.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
elaborate. I see the little tiny old people punish the backstabbing lesbians. maybe you got lost in the metaphor but I'd say it's a pretty right wing take on gay relationships. those big city LA people punished by humble old conservatives and their family values. not exactly flattering for the Janeane Garofalo set. by the way Swine Flu? http://ff.im/1hqgl

It would have made agreat TV series but as it is, it's still my favourite Lynch film. And I'm a big fan. If you want incomprehensible check out Inland Empire, which is amazing but probably not for everyone.

I get that you ass kissers like the movie... but don't you think about what it is about? what are you afraid of? there is a message here and I don't hear any of you saying anything beyond "surreal".

Mulholland Drive is my second favorite David Lynch film (Lost Highway is my favorite). Naomi Watts performance in MD blows me away. I haven't been able to get through Inland Empire though.

@Noah There are no messages in Lynch films. They are just surreal journies that leave you wondering. Some of us like that kinda stuff.

@Noah, the message is that Hollywood is a soul-sucking hell of a place that offers you dreams and gives you nightmares. If there is a message.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
and what was the lifestyle reflected in the movie Jandy? were they Muslim Conservatives? there was meaning here. you just don't want acknowledge it. the fact that it was chosen to reflect a Hollywood Gay relationship was no coincidence. keep in mind the context of when the movie was made!!! when Ellen Degeneres relationship was a media story. Todd. you are very wrong. I assure you the reason you like it is because it is able to say things you know, but are afraid to articulate

- Noah David Simon
I'm not understanding Noah's point. are you suggesting that Lynch is homophobic in some way or wants us to believe lesbians & gays should be punished?
- jbrotherlove
I'm saying that many great writers and stories reflect bigotry and bias. it has no effect on the value of the media. there is obviously a criticism of a lifestyle in this movie. are we saying that gay people could not possibly collectively reflect a narrative? is this not what writing is all about. to create a reflective context. I refuse to see this movie as arbitrary
- Noah David Simon
I don't think anyone would doubt "many great writers and stories reflect bigotry and bias". it's how you are applying that idea to Mulholland Drive and Davind Lynch that doesn't compute.
- jbrotherlove
the woman's desire is to take part in a gay relationship and a Hollywood dream. instead of recieving her dream she is punished by the narrative. you say it doesn't "compute" but you don't elaborate. I didn't write the story. I believe the details of the woman's life are related to her outcome
- Noah David Simon
@jb i think you're feeding the troll, as they say.
- Anthony Citrano
I didn't get any statement from the narrative of a meaningless nature of the plot. Anthony Tu Quoque. You are the troll because you give nothing. I'm sharing my thoughts. this is sad. I didn't write the movie. I'm just articulating the plot. I'm still waiting for an alternative explanation as to why the woman's explicit lifestyle was such a large part of the film.
- Noah David Simon
jbrotherlove, you are spot on. any attempt to review this film as anything other than a semi-surreal Lynch romp is misguided. And I find the attempted pointer towards homophobia laughable at best.

It depends on the kind of day I'm having. At work I will tend to have anywhere from two to five cups in the morning and at least one more cup post-lunch. I would say 90% of the time it's just two cups in the morning, one in the afternoon. On my days off, I don't usually have more than whatever my French press can make.

with the influx of celebrities into twitter, it was only a matter of time before people started taking advantage of the situation. These celebrities are probably more than willing to shell out a few dollars for individuals who can manage their twitter accounts for them. More importantly, I wonder how much longer before the lawsuits start over misuse of someone's name or persona.

Also - Facebook = "Real life Friends". If you only friend people you're actually friends with it's actually a terrific application for keeping in touch. If you try to treat it like a Friendfeed/Twitter/MySpace then you wind up with a load of crap and its utility takes a nose dive.

- chrisofspades
I block just about every app invite I get. I'm glad some people like it, but I despise ANY application, social network, or whatever that the second step in adding the app is to SPAM all of my friends with it. This is a terrible process and needs to be done away with.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I didn't add them. They are invitations.
- Thomas Hawk
Totally agree with you. couldn't have said it better.
- Karoli
Sean hit it perfectly. It's why I use Facebook as nothing more than an address book for people from my past. That has always made me sick, screen 2 is "Tell me who to spam!"
- Matthew DeVries
@Haggis: Agreed. And I too block pretty much every app invite I get. The irritating part is when someone gets all uppity with me because I didn't return their snowball or superpoke them back. I'm like...srsly? You send me that ridiculous crap and then have the nerve to get mad at ME for not participating?
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I am blocking most apps, because things can get outta hand ...
- Rene Wirtz
@Amanda: I tell/have told all my friends that they can send those requests, but that I categorically deny all of them. It's surprising how that already decreases the number of requests.

For every app invite i block, i seem to get twice as many the following day. Its better now their not all over people profiles pages when they do get added though.
- Simon Wicks

this is just one example of the silliness and boring nature of facebook. Frankly it's just not engaging. There's so much wrong with it and this is just the start. FriendFeed is a far superior platform for probably 100 different reasons.

I have found that blocking invites from certain users and applications is very helpful.
- Adam
@Thomas I agree with you 100%. I think FB is near unusable.. You're right it's not engaging - it's more of a distraction and there's very little value proposition for me to connect with people. I get the same with email/IM/flickr.. FF is far superior in my estimation

I don't get why people who don't like apps don't block them all, or why people who do like them feel the need to send invites to everyone, let alone whine that you haven't accepted. Most apps I use have a button that shows your friends with the app, and I only send to those.

Richard: Who said I have idiot friends? Intelligence has nothing to do with people trying to share their fave FB apps with everyone else, especially before Facebook put in limitations to keep apps from spamming their users' friends.

it's just some people. i know great people who forward every single email online. there's one person, ive given her an old yahoo email adress so i dont hurt her feelings :P
- Terry O'Fee
Smart people catch on to spamming apps quickly, they recognize when they've been spammed, instead of signing up and passing them along, or continuing to request you join (insert game of the week.) If your friends can't figure out what's annoying to you, how can you expect Facebook to?

immediately block app requests as they come in! according to the picture there were not so many apps involved here, but blocking them from the beginning on spares you more invitations..

I don't get it. I have 600+ friends on FB (not crazy huge, but not an insubstantial number). About once a week, I do a combo of ignore-app's and ignore-all-apps from a few friends, and voila! In about 1-2 minutes, I'm all set. 1-2 minutes a week. How many friends do you have on FB, Thomas? And how many years has it been since you've cleared things out?

Tweetdeck vs Twhirl: It’s a very hard call - http://www.inquisitr.com/18832...

i really prefer Tweetdeck. Twhirl's UI just doesn't jive with me for some reason
- Nathan Chase
I like tweetdeck for monitoring multiple streams but everything is too big, requires so much space. twhirl is a little rough around the edges but everything works the way it should. url shortening plus analytics API key and access to multiple twitter accounts + friendfeed + laconica + seesmic + ping.fm? Wow. Twhirl has the upper hand.
- Glenn Batuyong
Glenn, the observation I made in the post: as a Twitter client, Tweetdeck rocks, but for multiple service support, no contest it's Twhirl. I'm running Tweetdeck now, but I may switch back. It's really a hard call
- Duncan Riley
until Tweetdeck can let you change the font size it is a no go plus I don't know why but AIR apps for Twitter all want to open links as a text file in notepad - that makes no sense
- Steven Hodson
I prefer the Tweetdeck interface but use Twhirl because of support for multiple Twitter accounts, FriendFeed, etc.
- Herb Hernandez
Steven, Im a reformed Windows user as you know, but I'd guess there's a file association issue somewhere in the Windows settings. You should be able to tell we it opens somewhere there
- Duncan Riley
very weird .. for the past while I have had the link problem but now I just tested with both again and it works fine <shrug>
- Steven Hodson
I have used both and I have switched to TweerDeck full time
- Rob Cairns
Duncan, I've gone back and forth forever for some of the same reasons. I'm pretty sure I'm staying with Tweetdeck this time (each time it grows on me a bit more). FF on Twhirl kinda sucks, and I'm not using Seesmic at all these days, so the multi-service utility just evaporated over time.
- Jennifer Van Grove
Jennifer, my issue as well. I'm not using the sub-services on Twhirl, particulary not FF because it does suck in Twhirl. Still, I'd like multi-account and Ping.fm support in Tweetdeck, what make it a killer.
- Duncan Riley
The last time I used twhirl it didn't support groups. Until it does I'll continue to use Tweetdeck.

- Jeff (the マクダジ of FF)
TweetDeck is without parallel
- Louis Gray
Louis, I think it's ahead as a Twitter client, but it misses stuff. Like play a sound on a @reply or DM only. Or simply an archive option. But in everything else directly Twitter related, yes. cleaner, more friendly. If I wanted something more, Twhirl still wins.Reality is besides multiple account support, I didn't use Twhirl for other services (I had them there, but didn't actually use them)
- Duncan Riley
I'm with Twhirl..
- Jigar Mehta
Having used Twhirl for some time, I found Tweetdeck to be a breath of fresh air, as it makes it easier to track different conversations. I don't feel the need to aggregate everything into one app either, especially if separate apps serve my needs better.

I use both! Tweetdeck for catchup first thing in the morning using the groups (pals group for instance), and then twhirl thereafter during day. Tweetdeck hogs a fair of memory I found out to my cost.

- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
I'm stuck with twirl because it supports multiple accounts and that's the only reason. If I had my druthers, and it added a few features, I'd use twitterific, or destroy twitter if they supported multiple accounts.
- Rick Powell
Tweetdeck is unbeatable when your monitoring evens like the plane crash yesterday, but for casual tweet monitoring, and tweeting.. Twhirl is hard to beat. And I just figured out that you can change the theme of twhirl to black as well. Only thing I don't like about tweetdeck is how it's capable of slowing down my brand new macbook pro, withs 2 gigs of memory. If that wasn't an issue, I'd be running it constantly and not switching between Twhirl and Twitterific
- Sebastiaan van den Akker
I love tweetdeck, mostly for the grouping and column layout, but have been making an effort to use the new twhirl so i can get integration into FF,Linkedin and FB (via ping.fm). If only tweetdeck would have that integration i would stick with that..

- Jalada
I like DestroyTwitter because it's very clean and reliable. I had lots of trouble with Twhirl here at work. I also really like the "away" button, which makes it easier to see what's happened when I go away from my desk for a while. Also, DT is very customizable, allowing for either a "wide" view or standard narrow view, and the popup notifications are very nice.
- Alex Conner
Tweetdeck all the way!
- Amy Stewart
I'm with Tweetdeck. What will really be amazing is Tweetdeck as an iPhone app ---- AND, if that syncs lists with the desktop Tweetdeck.
- Sonya Smith
What turned me off about Tweetdeck: no keyboard shortcuts.
- Sean McBride
I just started using both Tweetdeck and Twhirl, and both have advantages and disadvantages. I use the former for its groups and to check my replies. The latter posts to http://ping.fm/ and allows me to follow FriendFeed. Before this I was using TwitterFox which I just found irritating. In my browser I use, TwitBar, PowerTwitter and TwitKit. @seanmcbride the keyboard shortcuts in Twhirl are nowhere near complete, but these are an advantage over Tweetdeck. Running both = running into the API rate limiting.

- Derrick

- Joe Dawson
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There is a larger gap than your logic can leap between selfish and loving one's self. If you do not like someone, where is the obligation to be around them? Why am I selfish for having the ability to gain from myself?
- nakachi

- Michael W. May
hey, you're not the only one nakachi. i liked what you said, but it depends on the situation. if someone you don't like could use your company at the moment then choosing to be by yourself would then become selfish.

- Trish Haley

- josh neff, geek at large
Trish, I don't see it as selfish per se. I love myself, I amuse me and I'm not going to bore the shit out of myself. I think selfish would be to participate in a charade where you lead the other person to think you're interested in them. Derrick, I have (had) friends like that. I have to mentally prep myself to deal with them for a few hours. To me, nothing is worth that, even the relief you feel when you part.
- Admiral Anika

Trish, I think choosing to be with someone you don't like as though you like them just because they want some company is false and misleading, much worse in my book than selfish. But, you are right, it may well depend on the situation.

@Derrick: I totally get where you're coming from on the hanging out with someone feeling like a chore. I have a couple of friends like that...nice people, and can be interesting to interact with online, but in person...it's hell. I can only tolerate like very short bursts of them before being with them turns into a chore. And by short bursts, I mean about 10-15 minutes. Tops. Normally I'd think perhaps it was me, but we have mutual friends who feel the same way as I do...
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
OK, ok, glad we're good Nakachi. And you're right Anika, it would be selfish to sit with someone IF you were being two-faced and misleading. I would rather "chew my own toenails" than be that person. But if this person is just someone that could just use an ear and you have no hidden agendas then sitting with them would be what a good human being would do.

With someone I don't like, like that particular person visiting me each 2-3 days that is really non-techie and gets on my nerves by bragging on anything. Since I still don't have the internet at home, it pisses me off to have debates on who's right (the old 'what's the meaning of X?' with no Google's define:X available...). With that in mind, I prefer to have someone to hang out with, in the worst of cases, at least to make him/her learn about new things, else it's a dead end, buddy, I'm leaving.

I still do because I find them a bit easier to find later. Plus they get pushed here, twitter and, after a few build up, to my blog as a link post.

Jing vs Skitch: Recommend one over another? Why? Discuss please:
Victoria Plautia, Christian Anderson, Jesper Lind and 10 other people liked this
They're fairly different, AFAIK. Jing is low-end screencasting. Skitch is high-end screen capturing. Jing seems tied to a share-cropping revenue model. Skitch is independently useful. They're both damned easy to use, and I use both.

Does Skitch work in Windows yet?
- Kenneth LeFebvre
Awesome, I tried Jing a while ago and it sucked balls. Much better now though, sweet!

I just recall it being unstable when I tried it way back.

How about screentoaster?
- TrafficBug
I've been using Screentoaster a bit lately, but it just takes that little bit too long to start recording.
- Chris Dahl
I'm completely with Jeremy on this one. I like both a lot, and frequently use Jing at work (as Network Admin/Support Specialist/Teacher), and would use Skitch a lot more if I were able to use a Mac at work!
- Niklas Pivic
Why do you use jing frequently at work Niklas? Thats interesting
- Colby Olson
Also, i dont think you can output files from Jing...they make you upload their video to their file sharing service. Might be tricky if you want to syndicate your screencasting on other video services; youtube, vimeo, veoh, etc. I would recommend Camtasia Studio. Very easy to use, powerful, and worth the investment

I have reconnected with dozens of people on Facebook, most of whom I have not had contact with in 25+ years. They are far more important to me than the friends I have on Twitter.
- Mistletoe Glen
It depends on what you use it for. I could close mine tomorrow, and not really miss it. It's a secondary thing for me. I've been online so long, I've always traded email addresses with people first, and still do, if I wish to remain in contact.
- Ian May
I'm with Glen. My real life friends are on Facebook. People I will go out and have a beer with. People with whom I feel comfortable sharing my phone number and address. I can't say that about a single other website.
- Andrew
It's great for connecting with your real-life friends, but not quite as good for reaching a wider-range audience like you can do with Twitter.
- Jonathan Brown

I don't understand why everyone is freaking out - I can probably locate the same info on a person via google as what FB 'owns' now. Plus, all of these EULA are subject to legal review once a case hits. Last, how many people read the EULA for games, software, email, and everything else. Google owns more of your data than most know
- John Head
from twhirl
I've been online over 20 years, back when it was JUST email, so I guess that's why I've always given it more importance. It's still the thing I ask now. "want to meet up for a beer next week? Here's my email address".

FB is as important to me as those discount cards that you get from stores you don't frequent.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Only as important as your personal brand on the internet. You need to control your name and information. Even though you don't want to have a .net domain you still buy it just in case someone else does it and try to impersonate you.
- Uncle CW™
The answer to that question should be a wake-up call to people who are so deeply entrenched in a closed service that doesn't respect users' rights and interests... The Hotel Facebook... You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
- LogEx
Having a Facebook is not "as important as your personal brand on the internet." Does my facebook even show up in Google? It's too closed to be that powerful in building your presence. Also, nobody can impersonate you very well unless you're half-assed with your social engagement.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
The only reason I have a FB account is to communicate with my employees. Its about the only messaging system they notice.

It all depends on where the people who you socially network with are. If they are on Facebook very important but if they are not then it's not that important
- Rob Cairns
I do not have the FB account. I always viewed FB as "gated community". I don't see it important... as of yet :)
- Nilesh
How important? Almost all my university friends are there, almost all my highschool friends are there, many work collegues are there. It's important.
- Richard A.
It's true. Facebook is more interactive in most ways than Twitter, making it a better place to connect w/ friends.
- Amir
FB and Twitter have generation gaps. Twitter is preferred by people that want to say it or comment and get on with it. This includes 30 somethings and older folks. Younger people and people that see FB as the home page and have time or want to spent time filling it with there stuff. They both service different needs and I cant tell you which will last longer in either. The fact that twitter is easier to block/hide spamers and ads also appeals to some people as well.
- walterh
However, it generally depends on how you use social networking and you views on social media.
- Amir
Facebook will last longer, it's a portal type website. With Twitter you can't even finish a thought without running out of characters.
- Richard A.
my facebook account is extremely important because it's the #1 way that I stay connected to my friends online
- Rajiv Doshi
IMHO Facebook is important for me too because the general population of the Internet (& friends) lean toward FB.

Facebook is for people with time to kill. I find it requires way more of mine than I'm willing to give. That's why I prefer Twitter anf Friendfeed which fit into MY lifestyle rather than make me fit into theirs, as Facebook does.

Atleast w/ Twitter I don't have to regard its terms of use before posting content.

It's not important. It's just fun, nothing more. If it was important, we'd all be paying for the service. When it comes to free, I don't expect anything and take it for what it's worth

For all those who use Facebook as a way to connect with people they lost contact with, isn't the key to that being as high up the google results as possible? I've never used facebook and do just fine. If I don't know people now, there is a reason for it and don't wanna get poked by them, or any of that rubbish.
- Dom Barnes
To everyone who keeps saying "just google them": 1) You have to actually remember their name to google them. (FB suggests friends in common). 2) For some people, without FB they won't even apepar in a google result set. Look I don't like FB that much but it's the only way I can keep in touch with some of my close friends who are far less geeky.
- KyleHase
from twhirl
To me not very important. I keep in contact with close friends in other ways.The worst is that I opened an account and within days I was invited by a couple of people I knew years ago. I don't know why they were searching for me anyway. If we have not been in touch for years there must be reasons. I just don't see the point.
- M F
Whether or not it is important really is up to you in the end. I have another opinion on some of these social networks and sign-up more than anything for security reasons. Even If I don' t participate much, at least I' ve blocked a profile for myself and can ensure (to some extent) that I am avoiding identity theft through those services.
- Thomas V. Fischer

Like many others here, Facebook is mostly for the people I've met in person: friends from school, work, etc. Most of them do NOT have Twitter accounts. For me, Twitter is a great way to interact online with people who share similar interests but I'm likely to never meet.
