Gillmor Gang - Robert Scoble, Paul Davidson, John Borthwick, Douglas Rushkoff, and Steve Gillmor. Recorded live from New York City BetaDay conference 11am Pacific/2pm EST.
- Steve Gillmor
I was there yesterday - well computer History Museum
- Kevin Marks
Keith... I have no idea why but your video feed is being chopped off at my end... not your fault but Ive never seen this happenh before
- Tina Chase Gillmor
My programmer buddies are over 50% Andoird. It's easier to develop for.
- Murray Macdonald
I remember when the OS switch happend in early 2000 for OSX. The years prior EmergingTech show was 90% PC... next year it flipped on it's head.
- Jerry Schuman
And... Yahoo just bought the 4th startup for this week. Astrid, GoPollGo, Milewise, and now Loki Studios.
- Nir Ben Yona
We are moving at 65 MPH and Scoble wants us to be driving at 100 mph
- Christian Burns
OSI vs. TCP/IP don't bring back bad memories ;-)
- Jerry Schuman
Apple is sleepy while the HTML5 and JS communities are moving at lightspeed. New platforms are popping up everywhere. The launch of the harp.io platform is exciting.
- Murray Macdonald
no new Beatles? Steve is obviously not a Belieber
- Charlie Isaacs
seriously though, Google fails forward extremely well. Even if self-driving car and Glass fail, they (and we) are learning so much from these. And from all of the other projects they shuttered.
- Charlie Isaacs
NeXT brought Steve Jobs back. Apple needed a new OS.
- Murray Macdonald
though the Apple Media Lab people who made Knowledge Navigator were hired in the Jobs era
- Kevin Marks
Jerry is right on, open source aftermarket self driving delivery trike.
- Christian Burns
I had one of those Kyocera Palm flip phones.. amazing phone..
- Kevin Costain
Believe in open standards... Why limit it to two companies?
- Murray Macdonald
Cause he was listening to people Like Steve Gillmor and John Taschek
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Jobs, like Benioff, had/have a rare combination of creative/technical/vision/marketing skills and they knew/know to hire people to make their dreams come true
- Charlie Isaacs
Tim Cook is not a Dreamer or a Futurist!
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
Products that change us and how we do things becoume part of our lives and we just cant live without them
- Christian Burns
Facebook delivered a revolution in a browser, using open standards, not a corporate platform. Only cross-platform developments can access everyone given the fragmentation.
- Murray Macdonald
what Steve's saying about the iPhone-- I believe that was confirmed in Isaacson's book about Jobs
- Charlie Isaacs
I'll agree with the phone argument from Jerry.
- John Taschek
But notebooks -- going all the way back to the first "ultraportables" (Zenith) are even in more need to be disrupted. They're not mobile the way people think of mobile now.
- John Taschek
I think about Samsung and all the assets they have (appliances, heavy industry, cash). Google - future. Apple - ecosystem, love, belief. Microsoft -- history....
- John Taschek
What happened to Scoble's "Apple"is where all the Apps are developed!?
- Kevin Costain
Office is alive and well. MS made 6B last quarter.
- Murray Macdonald
The always on nature of mobile phones provides the data usage that miners and telcos live on. The "phone" becomes another network node of messaging, socializing,and consuming.
- Aron Michalski
Agree on the Intents Murray -- what a concept, multi-tasking
- Charlie Isaacs
What OS will your emedded systems run? Embedded in your body?
- Christian Burns
Apple will introduce an intents equivalent at WWDC I'll be money on that
- Kevin Marks
The web is the delivery channel for REST. REST is the magic all these platform apps and JS cross platform apps. JS is the language showing the growth.
- Murray Macdonald
the web was always centered on information but market adoption focused on the marketing "brochure" side of things. It's just going back to its origin
- Jerry Schuman
Remember when Scoble and Marks were not on Gillmor gang?
- Christian Burns
Can someone explain to me the meaning behind the Gilmoor Gang comment concerning Adam and Eve. What do Adam and Eve have in common with Steve Jobs? Is the future of computing really going to be all tablets and laptop? No more netbooks or even desktops? In 20 years, is everyone going to be wearing a computer on their physical body?
- Lamar Morgan
@kevin Facebook seems to be trying to figure out how to take all that traffic and turn it into money... unlike ost companies who know how to make money and are trying to get traffic..... what does that say?
- Matthew Voshell
@clive I tried graph search... it "works" but I never use it...
- Matthew Voshell
"Walked outside with Google Glass for the first time. Stepped in dog poop almost immediately. Pretty sure this is what the future is like." Aaron Gotwalt
- Kevin Marks
so looking forward to Glass, my neck hurts having to constantly look down at my phone
- Da
Because kids dont have enough access to video games..
- Christian Burns
@Matthew Google search became terribly boring, link results too predictable or gamed. Graph Search much more interesting. FB engineering paper explains why.
- clive boulton
@Da They might need to figure out how to cool the CPU when Glass is attached to an external battery.
- Alex de Soto
You can't write local apps... My understanding is all 3rd party apps are in the cloud. Is that not true? Can you install a local app?
- Murray Macdonald
you need to hack it to write local apps yes
- Kevin Marks
It occurs to me that the feedback from wearing this device is where the real product is going to come from.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Vuzix allows real local apps on the device...
- Murray Macdonald
Glass camera should recognize a limited set of gestures but ignore others, like fly swats for example.
- Alex de Soto
The fact it works at all is awesome. Main discussion is, is it ready?
- Keith Teare
And is it the right way to incorporate computing into the person
- Keith Teare
what I mean is that the things people discover in using the early product will create main features and dictate what this product looks and feels like eventually. Might be a "duh" statement but real important here
- Tina Chase Gillmor
so as good as google voice recognition on android
- Christian Burns
Glass is just like every other Google "product". Nothing more then another input to their global information AI. It will go the way of Reader as soon as it's signal to noise ratio is bad.
- Jerry Schuman
virtual keyboard floating in front of you? plenty of times when i don't want to talk out loud
- Da
I almost never want to talk out loud to a gadget
- Kevin Marks
WiFi direct is capable of much more than screens; any p2p communications between apps. If the eyepiece, camera, phone and such are going to collaborate together, you need much more than screen sharing. You need an open p2p API
- Murray Macdonald
i want multiple windows on my Glass. no external, multiple physical screens wanted
- Da
Google not tuning for personal nuances opens up for competition
- clive boulton
Bluetooth is too slow, unless it uses wifi. Wifi direct is all that and more... AirPlay is the new FaceTime. A proprietary flavor of a generic ability.
- Murray Macdonald
I'd rather have a device I can write local computer vision application on... Everything in the cloud is going to make everything latent. The problem is battery life...
- Murray Macdonald
"They" should get out of the way. Writing filters should be open to the 3rd party market. Notifications and "page rank" are proprietary solutions the 3rd party market can't innovate on. Let others write filters....
- Murray Macdonald
What's this Close Friends trick? Is there a blog post about it?
- Evan Prodromou
@Nir yea, Sir Jonny is hard at work, rumors point at a simplier design (ala google) and more continuty across softeware and hardware.... idk, i'm excited i think he's a visionary
- Matthew Voshell
No CC, No BCC, Open email is the @ mention message bus.
- clive boulton
How someone contacts me shouldn't be based on a service. It should be determined based on commonality of options available and least cost and expediency to delivery.
- Jerry Schuman
Don't direct messages deserve to be one person only?
- Aron Michalski
Email is kinda like the canvas. Its lets people and companies build on top on it. like google does with its spam filters, or labels or just about whatever you can imagine. no one company owns the protocols and they are widely adopted. As you can see with Twitter, as soon as they feel threatened they reduce the ability to share. email is just a protocol.
- Michael Roberts
I've been on his low quality list ever since I was told I was a normal person.
- Aron Michalski
I liked the story of the guy that was laid off but continued to work in different offices around the campus while he worked on launching his new startup.
- Jerry Schuman
I think it's more than just about gaming but the battle for our TV's. Gaming is just one aspect. I bought an Ouya and I wrote about the Android angle on this phenomenon http://krynsky.com/android... In MG's post he also poses that Android / Ouya may be a contender
- Mark Krynsky
It's not as good as the BBC show it's ripped from
- Frank Paynter
Why are you so excited about the hbo go airplay?
- Ludwig Ederle
Microsoft better wise up. The Xbox Kinnect is their hottest brand and if they don't up their game, Apple will shoot'em up
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
Android 4.2.2 which I got yesterday for my Nexus 4 introduce "Wireless Display" (via Wifi Direct)
- Murray Macdonald
It takes a BIG Netflix to make a House of Cards. Definitely not a startup product.
- Kurtiss Hare
Tablets will drive the TV as a second display. Games will use the TV for the major display and the tablet/phone as the processor / controller.
- Murray Macdonald
Android (through Google TV) already has exposed the Google app marketplace to STB's on our TV's. It's beyond me why Apple hasn't done the same. They're giving Google way too much time to perfect and gain usage there.
- Mark Krynsky
Apple is looking at Google as if it was a monkey that could never put together the gun, and all of a sudden Google is shooting with it...
- Ludwig Ederle
Or even an HBO (much less likely). I don't know if they can singlehandledly change the game they're in as content creators.
- Evan Prodromou
Netflix appears to be doubling down on original content after HoC, for what that's worth.
- Kurtiss Hare
Will Netflix release DVDs? That's an interesting (new) media lockin.
- Kurtiss Hare
Raspberri Pi is nice hardware Murray but not as functional for a TV to have an Android OS device and the Google Play app store at your fingertips.
- Mark Krynsky
MLB has their own branded app for following games, but doesn't include live footage. Instead, it is an animation of the pitches.
- christina sponselli
Only in the US... Content licensing is per country. I can't watch the majority of these things in Canada let alone the rest of the world...
- Murray Macdonald
our camera is moving around , adjusting itself unnecessarily
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Comcast spun off TunerFish and the CEO is ex Silicon Graphics
- Jerry Schuman
don't even want to think about all the work arounds to watch this stuff in Europe
- Ludwig Ederle
They are securing the rights to 5% of the global market.
- Murray Macdonald
Actually John McCrae left Tunerfish recently but Comcast is still very active in new technologies
- Jerry Schuman
kids watch tv less but also changing their habits - binge watching
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I remember when people said real audio was going to take down the internet, and that video streaming wasn't even possible. HD won't be an issue.
- Michael Roberts
The bad news for the producers is, that there are no commercials showing up any more
- Ludwig Ederle
Just bought 10 gb switches... Network infrastructure is growing.
- Murray Macdonald
Google Hangouts + Hangouts on Air... they only need PRIVATE HOA to take over.
- Jerry Schuman
do you like the Citizen EcoDrive @Robert?
- Frank Paynter
At least Scoble is evolving with the market. Apple is asleep at the switch. Their next product is a phablet? Big deal.
- Murray Macdonald
I'm an Apple fanboy but I'm impressed with the Nexus 4, its interface and magnetic charger which just arrived. I have not even installed a SIM card and cellular service yet!
- Alex de Soto
Apple haven't even released the API for good speech synthesis on iOS... Android is outclassing them on most sides, BT low energy being one deficiency.
- Murray Macdonald
Hasn't Apple kind of always delivered on the undelivered dream of yesterday? In a way... How long did we have smart phone browsers before we got one that worked?
- Kurtiss Hare
My Macbook running cooler in the snow.
- clive boulton
there were tablets before, but apple added great design and made a business out of it...
- Ludwig Ederle
I think John said it right before. Its the ebb and flow. Google might be doing well today, tomorrow Apple will come out with something else.
- Michael Roberts
Isn't the question of density also just a question of money?
- Kurtiss Hare
that density will need to be filtered
- Jerome Hughes
Apple needs to buy Waze and Tagwhat for their Maps
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
One point about switching to Android away from iphone. I hear the argument about the investment in apps. If one has an iPad then you don't lose the use of your apps.
- Michael Roberts
apple's secret agenda is to take you where you *should* go, not where you *want* to go?
- Laura Norvig
They're not innovating... They're the new HP.
- Murray Macdonald
Apple has 130 billion cash right now
- Jerry Schuman
That's not true... New Androids have GPUs. Everyone does things in hardware. They abandon their old devices, like PowerPC, and iPhone3, etc... The 3GS will get dropped soon.
- Murray Macdonald
Androids do have GPUs, but Apple's AV chain is good work
- Kevin Marks
Apple also has momentum. Steve is right about services and Keith. As well I think Apple will innovate more on software in the coming months. Its just people have come to expect incredible hardware innovation from Apple, but I agree Apple will optimize more on its software working with its hardware, and sometimes that isn't immediately visible to everyone the way a new hardware product like the iphone might be.
- Michael Roberts
It's the fragmentation of Android hardware. They have various GPUs in different devices. You have to write to the various GPUs.
- Murray Macdonald
Apple has one, Android hundreds, "choice" or "fragmentation"
- Ludwig Ederle
My guess is that the inherent way that Apple controls OS (and perhaps direct sensors) access may limit it to compete with the features other mobile devices will be able to utilize for Robert's "contextual" or quantified self and digital health features that will be coming.
- Mark Krynsky
Maybe it's Kevin Spacey. Maybe he's that good!
- Evan Prodromou
Our contextual data will be lifted from it's current owners by various data mining technologies. It's hard to prove how I know what I know about you.
- Murray Macdonald
IIRC in the original HoC it is a machiovellian character, rather than situation of both parties being in together, although element of that too.
- Hilary Talbot
Jerry: at the Ritz tonight where the sunset is gonna rock!
- Robert Scoble
And thanks to Tina...goodbye all. Have a great weekend.
- Mark Krynsky
Have a great weekend, people of the internet
- Ludwig Ederle
Robert: Good point. Apple is a smart company however. I don't expect them to go into a innovation drought for long, but yes, they have a poor record on social IMHO and they should be get aggressive on contextual now. Waze would have been a good move for them I agree.
- Michael Roberts
Great show Steve, Tina, and the Gillmor Gang. I'm impressed this show continues to retain its quality of discussion and guests.
- Michael Roberts
Potential Topics? Amazon tablets. Motorola phones. Nokia phones. Apple next week. Techcrunch Disrupt next week. I'm also now addicted to Breaking Bad. Since last week's show I've watched three seasons of it.
- Robert Scoble
Of course, All The New Kindle Fires Will Have Ads That You Can't Get Rid Of. Didn't really want to talk much about that, did they?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Danny exceeded his bandwidth with his long monologue so now his service provider is throttling every 50th byte
- Charlie Isaacs
Don't Google and Amazon threaten both Microsoft and Apple, because they can give both Software and Hardware away, at least eventually?
- Stephen Pickering
Assume MSFT pulls off the Kobayashi Maru -- where does this leave Intel -- failed low power processor family?
- clive boulton
Microsoft could charge "mob rate" pricing for four reasons: (1) It was a software suite; (2) They were usually bundled with computers so they offered a "solution" or "system"; (3) The software "spoke" to one another; and (4) There was some stability so businesses trusted it.
- Chien-Yu Lin
I think Bezos had it right. People care about services not just gadgets.
- Alex de Soto
I love the Amazon apps store. I gave my wife a Kindle Fire and she hated it. She wanted the iPad apps. I told her to "find them on Amazon" but 90% of the stuff she wanted did not work on the Kindle Fire.
- Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
well, he's selling services, of course he says that. Apple will say they like devices
- Kevin Marks
@Scoble: Is this more about "PC's dying" or "PC sales saturating and tablet purchases increasing"?
- Chien-Yu Lin
So far, Apple has better "services" in the form of their apps and their licensed content.
- Alex de Soto
Same "mob rate" rational pricing for pizza boxes and garbage collection in NY/NJ - no choice monopoly
- clive boulton
I travel with my iPad + Logitech Ultrathin keyboard -- holds power for > 8 hr. flight, fits on Coach tray table while the guy in front me drops his seat
- Charlie Isaacs
Right you are Kevin about the books. I mostly read them on a Kindle and will be getting the Paperwhite.
- Alex de Soto
I want to get the Kindle Fire HD to play the movies from the Amazon Prime movies via their HD output to my HD TV (but them again, my Roku does that already, but not when Im waiting at my doctors office, etc) @SocialJulio
- Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
Can Microsoft make money with a no-cost tablet operating system? Apple can, and Google can. Amazon can. I think they're selling something everyone's getting for free.
- Evan Prodromou
your doctor lets you plug your tablet into his tv?
- Kevin Marks
Navy Seals aren't using spreadsheets, composing large Word files, long e-mails (= Office). They are looking at pictures, maps, terrains, videos (= Tablet).
- Chien-Yu Lin
"Don't stand out in Kandahar" (Robert said that?)
- clive boulton
My wife is the Creative Director for the Western US of the top app developer. Trust me... nobody is asking for Microsoft or Fire
- Jerry Schuman
(Resigned sigh) Can't I wait until Apple announces on Wednesday before ordering my Kindle Fire? Or will I then lose my Early Adopter button?
- Francine Hardaway
Jerry, your wife is a freaking dynamo. I want to be her when I grow up. Any cool new art pieces?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@Clive @Scoble: One book written is not a trend. American in Middle East stands out already. Tablet does not make them camo'ed.
- Chien-Yu Lin
on the train is where I want the tablet to work
- Kevin Marks
@John -- what is the razor for the enterprise (any chances)?
- clive boulton
With Spotify, I don't think I'll every buy digital music again. I may buy a Physical Vinyl record for the object quality and the novelty aspect
- Stephen Pickering
Robert just voiced my major gripe. Content is not centralized. The closest is Apple
- Francine Hardaway
I use the Verizon 4g to WiFi adaptor
- Kevin Marks
I have to give Logitech's UE (formerly Squeezebox) Internet Radio some props on making Audio sources pretty centralized. Makes a solid Roku experience for radio.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Kevin ~ Sounder (Seattle commute train) has wi-fi. Always my Goog Galaxy tab 10.1 out.
- clive boulton
One problem with pulling together content from different apps is that it's hard to link them. Inter-app integration isn't as good as Web integration is.
- Evan Prodromou
If I were Microsoft, I'd drive the market this way: (1) Pair up with Dell (they've shown they have reach within business and will make devices cheaply, getting their money through service contracts and renewals); (2) Drive for a software suite that can be loaded into Tablets. Let's be honest: most people use less than 5% of all of the Word, Excel, PowerPoint functionality; (3) Establish...

A universal notification client sounds like a great idea. Don't think companies will allow it to happen though.
- Alex de Soto
The issue is DISCOVERY. DISCOVERY is facilitated primarily through word of mouth. IOS apps KILL Android apps when they're discussed from end users
- Jerry Schuman
so Scoble, why wouldn't companies aspire to make universal apps that seamlessly move from device to device while taking advantage of all of the best features of each device? That was Steve Jobs' vision from making universally easy products so that every app could work the same across their iPhone, and move to the iPad, etc. I agree with Steve, you and John are both right.
- Charlie Isaacs
@Sponselli: 7" iPad is basically dusting off the Apple II marketing plan. Smaller hands, smaller devices. What will kids ask for come Christmas once they use it in schools?
- Chien-Yu Lin
@Sponselli: I'm kind of thinking that they would start more toward middle school. High school? I could get kids to buy a toothbrush that promotes tooth decay if I marketed it right.
- Chien-Yu Lin
I care almost nothing about Twitter anymore and everything about Facebook, which is exactly the opposite how I felt 2-3 years ago.
- Stephen Pickering
Does this gut some of Flipboard and Currents, or are they accessing Twitter elsewise?
- Denise Howell
'cos Dave Winer wants us to stop using twitter? (I don't know, he blocks me on twitter)
- Kevin Marks
@Chien-Yu Lin: Distinction of wanting and getting. Some parents, including this one, consider the amount of screentime their kids get and the parent monitoring time required.
- christina sponselli
So a "universal" browser for all of this stuff is unlikely.
- Alex de Soto
@Sponselli: Sure. Just saying many kids will go to college and there will be a time when being competitive as a student + school requirements + social pressure / status will create a situation where a purchase will be made. Bonding is pretty powerful, regardless of usage frequency and duration.
- Chien-Yu Lin
@Robert, I can see some of your FB Favorites, via Incognito, not logged in
- Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
For Facebook, most are social loiterers who use the medium as a digital scrapbook and internet chatroom.
- Chien-Yu Lin
But since, storage, bandwidth and processing halve in price every 12 months, then something like App.net may be viable in 5 or so years
- Stephen Pickering
Go check out SylkServer from AG Projects. SIP/XMPP with presence support. Just heard they're going to release in the OSX app store. Light this thing up behind the firewall and get a complete message bus for the enterprise that includes, voice, video and chat.

ADS ARE ANTITHETICAL TO TWITTER'S ETHOS Twitter is about real-time information with little-to-no self-editing time between information and Tweeting / re-Tweeting. This is why Twitter is used primarily as a newsfeed and the SARG (smart-ass remark generator). And there's the challenge: (1) How Can One Monetize News? We consciously understand - or intuitively know - that news, unless there...

- Chien-Yu Lin
My thoughts exactly. Probably the longest post ever, during the Gillmor Gang show.
- Nir Ben Yona
Chien-Yu -- you forgot about Twitter as a "social megaphone for horrible customer service" -- expressing negative sentiment about brands. I would also add that people help each other solve problems on Twitter, and help each other accomplish things.
- Charlie Isaacs
Fast typist for sure or great speech recognition!
- Alex de Soto
Chien-Yu Lin - fantastic and provocative posts
- John Taschek
@Scoble: You are absolutely right. Awareness vs. Closing. But I making the claim that Twitter has some very definite disadvantages compared to other social forums.
- Chien-Yu Lin
and don't forget - its a GOODYEAR Blimp as you noted. So Goodyear gets the product placement too - even though you are miles away
- studentforce
Chien: that's true, but Twitter has hundreds of millions of eyeballs.
- Robert Scoble
@Marks: When you talk to people on Twitter do you come back for the information or do you go somewhere else (as with all of the links)? Also, have you made more "friends" from Twitter or from Facebook?
- Chien-Yu Lin
Chien: I've made more friends on Twitter but that is quickly changing.
- Robert Scoble
there are many different ways that people find to make a universal message bus useful, and those individual people get to decide which ways make sense for them
- Jerome Hughes
many more from twitter than from facebook
- Kevin Marks
Chien-Yu: I often prefer the simplicity of Twitter versus Facebook, but FB is def. much more social.
- Alex de Soto
@Isaacs: Yes - Twitter is a fast response, complaint engine. But do you find that it is more of a "starter environment" or a "fostering environment"?
- Chien-Yu Lin
Twitter has always been an Identity system. A tweet is nothing more then a Presence message
- Jerry Schuman
I'm nto invited to the apple event :(
- Kevin Marks
It's crazy that Twitter didn't build a business model around search, just crazy
- Stephen Pickering
@Alex De Soto: Agreed. Half the appeal of texting is not wanting the details and length of a conversation, but having the satisfaction of communication. We want acknowledgement, but not necessarily depth. We expect closure: that's why we have emoticons.
- Chien-Yu Lin
Grand Hyatt Union Square. Where's disrupt this time?
- Kevin Marks
@Scoble: Agreed. But do you think in the long term, will people buy from Twitter?; how will Twitter be able to claim advertising from its platform as effective (it is true mobile, but may have to create discount coupons that expire within 1 hour of setting off geo-fencing - granted, this is a challenge for all - but I see it more as a challenge for them since their transactions are so short).
- Chien-Yu Lin
@Chien-Yu: I see it is both, but I in my role I focus on customer service. It is a Starter Environment for initiating complaints, that are usually taken off line. It can also be a Fostering Environment; when an angry tweet falls on deaf ears it can foster collaboration (in some case "rallying the troops", in some cases others coming to the aid of the suffering Tweeter).
- Charlie Isaacs
@Isaacs: But do you find the speed of Twitter is more helpful than the granularity and details of Facebook? I know each has its place, but in the long run, would it not be easier for FB to just mimic Twitter than Twitter to build a profile base and communication platform?
- Chien-Yu Lin
Sorry @Chien-Yu, got pulled off on a call :) That was a fantastic show, BTW. I like Twitter for its instantaneous activity capabilities -- you can Tweet something and get a response within seconds, whereas, FB has more of a delay. I know a lot of people who are always watching Twitter with one eye (because of what you said earlier about news feeds) and only check FB a few times a day. I...
more...
- Charlie Isaacs
@Isaacs: Agreed. I just think of the possible scenarios - and the underlying usage / "DNA" of each company - I am not sure that it will have the value we think it does. We will all have essentially a "stock ticker" of life that will quickly be ignored and commoditized.
- Chien-Yu Lin
@Chien-Yu @issacs G+ has more delay than FB. But comes into its own talking-in-circles. {replaces email in the enterprise?}
- clive boulton
@cliveb @Chien-Yu Well, put on your "vendor filter" but of course I am biased towards Chatter, that replaces email in our enterprise, and many others... G+ is like Chatter in many ways but it isn't integrated into the other mission-critical apps in the enterprise. For example, you should be able to collaborate around any enterprise "activity" -- Leads, Cases, Interactions, etc. and it should feed into a common thread for you without having to cut and paste everything manually. You can't do that with G+.
- Charlie Isaacs
@Isaacs: Keep your "vendor filter" on. We're building a SAP/G+ app for nitty-gritty enterprise activity like chasing shortages.
- clive boulton
ok, will do, @cliveb thanks and good luck
- Charlie Isaacs
didn't seem like there wasn't anything epic with RIM remote wipes, was there?

Francine, the problem is that you're still exposed on a service by service basis without a secondary auth method even if you do it on LastPass only. That at least does protect your password library.

- Da
LOL - always had a prollem with that too, Tina - until it was a mandate whence I work
- Rocky Barbanica
I feel obligated to post to both Twitter and Facebook if I find an awesome resource. A lot of the *same* people are following me in both places. They have to decide which place to comment on it. One convo goes in one direction, the other goes in another. It's OK, but it's not optimal.
- Laura Norvig
haha Tina, sorry, you're right, my wife is first :)
- Charlie Isaacs
Even though I live in RSS (for Blogs, Twitter, G+, etc), I admit RSS tools do need better filters. Nobody has perfected context and filters.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Path is the same as everything else.

Dave Winer just tweeted "If I were using a Twitter clone, I'd want it to support RSS feeds in both directions, from the start, for everything."

There's not much to say about it — other than it's overhyped, not worth the price currently. In the long run, it might be a big winner; but when you have so many investors willing to buy stock in a company that has not really figured out how to make money or is still experimenting and has a CEO who just spent $1 billion on a company without revenues, it is still a BIG RISK at the...

When is Netflix going to stream 3D?..just got a 3D tv and looking for more content from services I am paying for already.
- Jim Posner
if "unlimited data" means way more people use your network than you thought would use it and you have to spend Billions to try to make the network be able to keep up, then unlimited data can be a bad decision. Its not a bad decision for users... but it cost lots of bucks to make the network be able to handle the load.

the secret to Al Jazeerah's success is their relationship with people on the ground. When something happens, they are looking to be the 'one' brand for news for people to share the event(s) LIVE until one of their journos gets there to report. Great use of citizen journalism and professional journalism. They build their news sharing model/architecture focussed on the community with a view back to their services for global amplification.

I would be willing to spend more for an iPad3 that has a "made in the USA" label on it, that is identical to and coexists alongside a Chinese made iPad3.

Jim: absolutely wrong. Two different kinds of manufacturing. And even Beoing planes are largely made in China. So are GM cars.
- Robert Scoble
ipad is pure entertainment :) you are right!
- Pedro Salgueiro
Create tax incentives for the iPad to be made in the US..not rocket science
- Jim Posner
Herb: yes, and are you willing to double the price? That's what it would take.
- Robert Scoble
Jim: not enough tax incentives to do that. It's IMPOSSIBLE to build that here. The Chinese factories hire 200,000 people to build Apple devices.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: that price point is conjecture. I've read the same articles and seen the same reports... by the way, isn;t Apple putting some manufacturing in Brazil?
- Herb Halstead
The US has the largest economy in the World. The way it got there was through a free market and not telling people where they "should" make things
- Stephen Pickering
And those factories WILL NOT be able to keep up with worldwide demand. Remember, China went from $1 billion to $20 billion in THREE YEARS for Apple revenues. They will triple again in next three years.

Well thanks everyone who showed up here and participated. You really move us along
- Tina Chase Gillmor
We agree to disagree...anyway I hope that you are wrong..Obama is going to be running on restarting US manufacturing and I hope he wins big...the future of a solid middle class depends on a strong manufacturing base..we need to make stuff again
- Jim Posner
Japan built their manufacturing in prelude to WWII in a matter of a decade, China built theirs in a matter of a decade. The US is not precluded from repeating that.
- Herb Halstead
exactly, remember that the policies in China that makes their current ability to manufacture at scale have only been in place since the mid 1990's

Chris: exactly, and copying and pasting doesn't take long.
- Robert Scoble
yes - it depends on how and where ... but many who do that only post in one place and forward it to everyone else
- Xenophrenia
I understand *why* they do it ... but just because you can doesn't mean you should ;-)
- Xenophrenia
I copy and pasted my blog post in, but the lost links made it less useful
- Kevin Marks
I tend to use #fb on the end of a Tweet to cross post to Facebook, #li to post to LinkedIn, I'd use #gp to cross post to Google+, but I use them sparingly and only when applicable.

solution... be a better noise processor

our 8 year old family blog has been silent for 2 years

Tumblr's got blogging dialed right in

google corp does need to learn, Danny pushback helps make that happen
- Christian Burns
Kevin, MSFT's 'GMail Man' is cringeworthy isn't it!
- Chris Bray
like with Apple - it's a religious type of thing ... people get a little crazy when they nearly worship something - Apple inspires religious experience according to science ;-)

I wish Scoble hade a circle for posting to non noisy commentors.
- Christian Burns
node,js getting a lot of attention too

Can Brands really target Three Streams?

Christian: when I'm posting I'm almost always reading every comment, even when they come hot and heavy. But after say 30 minutes the chances I see it go down.
- Robert Scoble
Good to know, I also dont post unless I have something to add :)
- Christian Burns
August Capital, tho' I think it's sold out
- Kevin Marks

I search for Rackspace and I see that Robert and Ben Fisher +1'd the site
- Jerry Schuman
Interestingly that same "xxx Shared This" also seems to hook into my Twitter feed somehow since it identified a share from a contact that's not on Google+ yet...
- Chris Bray
they are working on it is what google said
- Abhijeet Desai
It'll be interesting to see how the fact that my Google+ and Twitter social graph is very different to my Facebook social graph (mainly tech/work rather than family/friends) affect these result promotions.
- Chris Bray
It’s a Chrome application that will silently build a small firehose of all the web services that you use online. It will show you some of these messages as HTML5 notifications.

Your mom on Facebook has never heard of Twitter or Google+
- Moe Glitz

there's now a right-wing plan to report Barack Obama for spamming twitter
- Kevin Marks
I actually think almost everyone now has "heard" of twitter, even if they don't use it
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I can guarantee that my mother knows about both Twitter and Google+. Primarily because I'm her son and we're connected on FB and she's actively involved in politics. She's also 72

What Barack never mentioned Google+?

Can someone explain the difference between search and track?
- Ankush Narula
twitter is now fail-whaling for me. did Obama DDOS it?
- Kevin Marks
Get rid of Xeni and you'll cut down on the cat photos ;-)
- Jerry Schuman
Anybody found a really good use for Sparks yet?
- Ginger Zumaeta
ankush... track was realtime push, search is just behind pull
- Jerome Hughes
may be but sparks is more like google news
- Abhijeet Desai
But sparks isn't nearly as good as google news - wish it was
- Ginger Zumaeta
If Google+ fails can you see them trying to buy Twitter?
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
i doubt it will fail but they may plan to buy twitter anyways !!
- Abhijeet Desai
sparks is a placeholder at the moment - I think we're going to see something really cool there that uses search algorithms and filters based on your social interactions/profile
- Ankush Narula
Facebook missed out on purchasing Twitter
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
Nice Steve Gillmor gave Amy Winehouse props
- clive boulton
one of my friends at Google who codes for Apple just quit to build his own iOS apps
- Kevin Marks
Google should look outside and hire contractors that can kick ass with iOS.
