Well, one must admit threads can get long & tedious. And trolls are sometimes a problem, but, totally agree w/juicier discussion! ;-) - Barbara K. Baker

Why is everyone talking to Glen when he didn't even comment? Hmmm. This is the problem with deleted accounts. heh - Jimminy, CoG of FF

88 Years of making this a better planet. - michael sean wright from Bookmarklet

Heh, I was about to say i had posted a duplicate of this article...but this was a whole year ago. Wow, we've been using Friendfeed a long time. - Jason Toney

If this is anything like the Microsoft employee store, it will be cool. - TDavid

holy wow, jeff! LOVE - Mona Nomura

I still have an Atari but I haven't touched it in years. I'm not sure if it still works. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to hooking it up again. - jenali

"Users of free podcast host WildVoice.com have been notified that the service will cease operation next month. The latest (and perhaps last?) post on the company blog states:" - TDavid from Bookmarklet

All this gaming of followers stuff is alien to me. I understand it's about marketing but at the end of the day, if you don't have real people really interested in something you are doing, what's the point? You might as well do things that you love doing, you'll get more satisfaction in the end. - TDavid

"I just haven't been able to get into all the who is following who stuff popularity stuff. It seems like the kind of thing we grew out of -- or should have grown out of -- once school was out. Even the word 'follower' doesn't sound right to me. I don't want to be somebody's 'follower' and yet that's the name ascribed to anybody that I click on to 'listen' to or 'watch' which I think are more apt. I don't make choices of what I like based on popularity, do you Dave? I will admit that popularity might lead me to check out something which I guess is the point of why somebody would want a zillion followers on these services but at the same time I'd rather have 1 person listen or watch what I'm doing because s/he liked it versus 1,000 who do it because of some (likely fleeting) popularity thing. What I think will happen going forward is that the people who were in this for phony popularity contests will fade away and the people who do it because they enjoy it will go on. As it should be.

Easy enought to pull over the good stuff from Twitter ... the firehose approach not so good - TDavid

I guess my comment went unheeded :( Where are all the "yes, do this" votes? - TDavid

The Twitter account that I added is from a specific person on the Zune team (BrianSeitz). The search was more general. - Craig Eddy

"It has not been announced if it is a unique edition of Internet Explorer Mobile, or if it is the same as that which will be packaged with Windows Mobile 6.5, or if it is another browser entirely." - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"The Web browser is based on IE6, but unlike the browser in Windows Mobile 6.5 (which it has to be related to), it probably won't have Flash support - but Seitz says it's possible. They're still working on the software it seems - which isn't surprising given the Fall release date." -- via: http://www.zunethoughts.com/news... - TDavid

"Contrary to some rumors, it will be based on Windows CE rather than Windows Mobile and is heavily modified from the standard version." - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"The finer details have not yet been announced, but the basics were revealed to me by Chris Stephenson, Microsoft's General Manager of Consumer Marketing for TV, Video and Music Business. As with the current Zune set-up in the States, it looks like Xbox Live owners will be offered a subscription service, allowing them to download content from the Zune Video catalogue. Microsoft has yet to reveal its content partners, or a subscription rate for UK users, but further details will be revealed at next week's E3 event in Los Angeles" - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"Zune HD will include a full-screen Internet browser optimized for multitouch functionality." -- MULTI-TOUCH!! - Craig Eddy

Multi-touch has the potential to add some very interesting gaming possibilities - TDavid

Amen! - TDavid

Handy tip for tracfone users - TDavid

""City Council 3050 AD," an original comedy conceived by Worktank, is based on local government C-SPAN channels that broadcast the mundane proceedings of city business. The show, set in the future, uses this dry backdrop to offer humor and absurdity, taking modern local and national political issues and recasting them in the future." - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"Recertified: Microsoft Zune 1.8" Red 4GB MP3 / MP4 Player" - TDavid from Bookmarklet

lol! - TDavid from Bookmarklet

I'd be totally down for a Triumph world tour. Anybody else? - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"Wizzard announced podcast network results for the 4th quarter of 2008 and the first two months of 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Wizzard Media Network received 307,648,694 download requests for episodes ( up from approx. 270 million requests during that same quarter in 2007). The Q4 numbers contribute to the more than 1.2 billion download requests in all of 2008." - TDavid from Bookmarklet

This MMORPG is supposed to come out in Q2 2009? I liked Stargate Atlantis. Wonder if this will be good or suck? - TDavid from Bookmarklet

AC DC singer *before* Bon Scott. Didn't know he existed until today. - TDavid from Bookmarklet

Just curious, who all has made a music quiz so far? - TDavid

"The market for the Zune should be podcasts. It should be geared not only to to those who create podcasts, but also for the listener. Sure the Zune is a good video and music player, but this should be the defining point. What should I listen to a podcast on? The Zune. Why? One-click subscribe, zune-to-zune sharing, as well as the whole social end. "Zune luvs Podcasts" ads and more." - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"Microsoft is "bringing our Zune Service, not the Zune hardware but the Zune entertainment service, to all three screens, PC, phone, and TV," CEO Steve Ballmer told Wall Street on Tuesday (download Microsoft Word transcript). "So it becomes a fundamental part of building a real business around TV sets."" - TDavid from Bookmarklet

"Thanks for the subscription :) Doesn't it all depend on who the 25 are that are subscribing? Respectfully, I think getting caught up in how many readers you have or don't have is a bit counterproductive. Focus on what you are passionate about, what you really care about, and the readers will be attracted to that energy. Blogging is just a format, after all. What limits do you speak of? Creativity has few limits. One can blog about a variety of things or focus on only a small few. Not sure I'm following what you mean." - TDavid

"25, you sure about that? I've been subscribed through GReader for awhile. Not sure I've ever left a comment here before, but I see and read your posts. If the number is 25, then hey, it feels good to be part of an exclusive group :) There are multiple ways to look at smaller numbers. I prefer the cup half full perspective." - TDavid

Love the title 'Zune Goon' lol - TDavid from Bookmarklet
