Dave, I don't think Google now wants a Twitter clone so yeah I think Kaiku is on its way out. However, wouldn't be surprised to see microblogging functions integrated into Blogger or even Gmail

I can believe Jaiku being dead.

btw, has anyone been over to Jaiku recently....it seems awfully quiet with people having updated months ago. I struggled to find a user who used Jaiku daily.
- Anthony Feint
Twitter won the microblog game. It just doesn't matter how much extra functionality other services offer, they just don't gain traction. I predict that Utterli, Plurk, and other such offerings will go the way of Pownce soon enough.
- Neal Jansons
Twitter has *not* won. Saying that it has is like calling the game for AOL (vs. Compuserve). Identi.ca might be a small (individual) player right now, but it is part of a growing interoperable network that includes services like army.twit.tv and bleeper.de.
- Michael R. Bernstein
no i don't think Twitter has quite won yet, however I can't see Identi.ca - which is just an open source clone taking the cake. It doesn't matter if its interoperable - because microblogging aint email. It doesn't need to be
- Anthony Feint
So without gambling, Second Life turns into just another 3D chat room? That's a pity.

there should be a lot more dead apps than the 5 he listed. And Cuil, as far as I'm concerned, is still alive.

Greg is the man who talked me back into doing my art. I used to promote him by selling him art advertising. he is the man I respect more then any person in the world. I consider him a brother... his work is part of the Black Book room feed and he is the only person I really can trust in social media 100%
- Noah David Simon
Noah you really should get back to your Art. Do some parody drawings of Net celebrities! You will have fun doing it and will get many followers from it.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Igor one of the reasons I don't go for the polished look is it is hard to compete with a veteran like Hergert. This guy is the Picasso of today... for me the art is part of a larger organism. the media is not the message for me... but rather for me the message is my media
- Noah David Simon
Of course Herget is great. I am not an art connoisseur but I identified his work as great from first sight. I think you also have a lot of talent when it comes to art. I understand that for you art is not the end game but a tool to express yourself. Use your art to garner positive attention to yourself.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Igor... the first step to being great is knowing who is better. Greg is like an art god... he has perfected the craft to a level that is unbelievable. he is everything I aspire to be on a visual level... that said there is more to me then art. tonight I am still working on organizing my social media contacts. getting thrown off of twitter so many times has made it very important to keep contacts here.
- Noah David Simon
the amazing thing about Greg... is he isn't even trying here... these paintings he does one a day! his shit sells
- Noah David Simon
Artistic people blow me away. I think the right half of my brain was squeezed out by the left. Talent amazes me.
- Robert Hafer
Robert... real artists actually don't work... they love doing the art. they have to fight to do it. I have found that the best thing to do to be a successful artist is to make as little art as possible. sadly... I'm right. promotion is 90% of the game. reason Hergert gets away with it is he is in his 60s and people already buy his shit. he earned where he is today. people like me are still on our way to where he is

I'm surprised magazines are still going...I never include them in my heritage media posts because they are so irrelevant today. On the net side, agreed, online may pick up as things get tougher: it's inherently a more efficient form of advertising.
- Duncan Riley
Apple vs Google though, I'm not so sure. Both aren't buying back stock like Microsoft is (see Fred Wilson) which isn't exactly a vote of confidence. GOOG is the biggest now, so may fall the hardest. AAPL on the other hand has one very strong point going for it: desirability. Lets presume the first to drop out of the market is the bottom end, then what's left is looking to make a longer term investment. AAPL wins on that front.

Mark lives a life most of us would love to have. Of course he didn't explain how HE got rich. He sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for billions. That requires something far beyond discipline: luck. Some people DO win the lottery! But, I find that following people who always chase money is pretty damn boring. I've been on private jets. I've been in expensive cars that cost more than nearly everything I own. Yawn. What is rich? My friend Teresa Williamson inviting me to an awesome concert. My wife hanging out with me on the couch. A conversation with someone who is changing the world. Money ain't everything. I watched my mom die with a bunch of gold in her basement. She couldn't take it with her. On the other hand, money does open doors easier and gets you into wild experiences, but it's not the only way to have wild experiences. That said, I'm following much of Mark's advice because, well, it's good advice for our times.
- Robert Scoble
Yes while money isn't everything it helps. You can do all of the things you mentioned even if you are rich. With that said I do believe that personal happiness is more important than being rich.
- Luka Marinko
Can money buy happiness? No, but a certain amount can make life a little less stressful and more comfortable. I agree with all you've said above Robert. That said... "getting rich" isn't that important to me. I'm perfectly happy in my middle class life.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
I've always liked something Walt Disney said about the value of money: "Money is something I understand only vaguely, and I think about it only when I don't have enough to finance my current enthusiasm, whatever it may be. All I know about money is that I have to have it to do things. I don't want to bank my dividends, I'd rather keep my money working.... Money — or, rather the lack of it to carry out my ideas — may worry me, but it does not excite me. Ideas excite me."

Michael, I have read them and I'm monitoring various channels. The API as I've written it up could be it, but it could be a fully fledged Twitter compatible (new) API as well....least that's what I'm reading people speaking in German talking about :-)
- Duncan Riley
What's bad IMHO about identi.ca is that the solution offers to build multiple isles connected *two-by-two* i.e. A is connected to B, B is connected to C. But A doesn't know about C (if it's not connected to it). What's the benifit? Decentralization of course! What's the inconvenient? When a node of identi.ca's clones is down there's no mean to have a real continious discussion.
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
@directeur: I haven't dug in there enough to know whether it's required to be acyclic or not. If not, then it could be just set up as a redundant mesh with multiple nodes reconnecting to the fabric in various places. If not, link-deaths are going to be brutal. Didn't we already solve this problem? :P
- Alexander Williams
from NoiseRiver
@squidlord: Good idea indeed! And yes we did! :) I still somehow think that we're reinventing the wheel at a certain level. I'm sure that Identica folks are that close to find the ultimate solution, but IMHO having an established and well studied design and concept (I'm not talking about the openmicroblogging protocol, I don't believe in it) is the first thing to do. Delivering an API is the last thing to do. I'm like that I LOVE to challenge established concepts ;-)
- directeur
from NoiseRiver
@directeur: I've always felt the API needs to be done early, actually, and the rest of your interface should descend from it. If it's not useful to you as a designer, then why should it be useful to folks who want to leverage your work? (IRC, damnit. I totally want to see someone impliment a Twitter-clone on an IRC backend. :))
- Alexander Williams
from NoiseRiver
@Alexander Williams (squidlord): Yes! Done before (it's a design workflow) but *delivered* when your design is solid. And Oh yes! I dream of an IRC solution too :)
