It always seems to come down to noise control. include/exclude
- Kevin Mullett
I hate that you can only see all of the people someone is following rather than how their circles are arranged. I realize that's a privacy issue, but it means I have to build the same list of Librarians that all my other librarian peeps are building also.
- Laura Norvig
kinda quiet in here wonder where everyone could be ;)
- tylergillies
And sparks are nothing more than RSS where they pick it for you. I expected some way to vote up or down the feed.
- Kevin Mullett
Your not in the right circles tyler, chats going crazy over here
- Paul E. Ester
the senders can control the noise - they can create a circle they share VC relavent stuff with. But they have to choose to share with you...
- jay morris
audio cutting out a bit for me. could just be my desktop choking under the load of having this and plus open at the same time ...
- Laura Norvig
how do you separate social from interest?
- Karoli
Too funny, but really if you have a problem seeing Scobles stuff dont follow, He usually has the most interesting info and after a while as more people join it
- CHRIS VOSS
Topic streams (like hashtags) would be good. Can you search "circles" by topic? Sorry, I don't have Google+
- Alex de Soto
@Kevin - ya I had like 18 new people this morning
- CHRIS VOSS
not seeing video. has the show started?
- George Herndon
@kevin I have like 24 people who still havent answered their mail. Maybe I should try just adding one email and calling a friend. Is this working for anyone else.
- CHRIS VOSS
Facebook did not kill FriendFeed; the users killed it!
- Ciro Villa
I think Facebook has helped train the masses to interact in a more Friendfeed-ish way so they *might* be ready for Plus.
- Laura Norvig
yeah, just like profiles for google apps users is coming ...
- Laura Norvig
I think Scobles very right - I'm putting my family on google+ so we can do video chat for free over Skype - its also awesome for business video conferencing
- CHRIS VOSS
Scoble Vic said on TWIG that the video codec has not been selected yet and they are testing several different ones. So to say this video is best of breed could be premature.
- adolfo foronda
@LauraNorvig: Yep, I've talked about the FriendFeedization of Facebook, they got used to likes, events, link sharing (although most don't remove the URL from the publisher before posting). We must not forget that with time, users are evolving as more productive users and that they use more tools when forced into daily pageviews and such.
- Zu from AOD
WHY are we hearing the gentlemens comments who HASNT tried Google+ As respectfully as I can say it, it seems hes left making up talking points without the information of experience.
- CHRIS VOSS
LOL @Tina flashing Steve's name on screen!
- Laura Norvig
Buzz exists for feed importing, I don't see why it would be forced into + as it helps people focus on manual sharing/writing. Information overload fixed temporarily.
- Zu from AOD
Conversations start from inputs that often come from other feeds. Those need to be imported.
- Todd Hoff
my friendfeed was left for dead and used only for aggregation.
- Kevin Mullett
@Todd it depends. Since I spend so much time on Friendfeed, I enjoy seeing aggregated stuff, even from people who no longer converse there. Plus has to decide what it is, what it is for. Can't have cake and eat it too.
- Laura Norvig
Voss there are archives, including audio only daze.
- Jerome Hughes
JP i met you at defrag, i work with marshallk at rww
- tylergillies
Is Google using Google+ to try and take Ad dollars away from Facebook
- Moe Glitz
from iPhone
If have a feed stream I would like to have an easy way to move to the conversational stream. I can do it by hand but it's often too much work.
- Todd Hoff
Maybe when developers get a hold of APIs there will be some killer client overlay thingy. So I can see ONE of what someone posted in multiple places but ALL of the conversations on ALL of the platforms. I wish.
- Laura Norvig
dont we all communicate toall top brands on twitter & not email ???
- Abhijeet Desai
Email is like a call control setup. It's starts the conversation between unknown parties. Try contacting you don't know without email. It's nearly impossible. After you connect then you skype, chat, or whatever.
- Todd Hoff
Messages to a known address that I control and can use cross platform? No that is not going away.
- Kevin Mullett
All subscription systems needs an email. Maybe not for discussion between friends, but businesses are using it a lot, sometimes just so they don't use a public email system and have internal discussions. Could be done in a 'corporate social network', but I don't see that soon.
- Zu from AOD
Its was a pleasure to hang out with you all - see you on google+
- CHRIS VOSS
Now how weird is it for Bret Taylor to have gone from google to FF to Facebook and now see this FFey google product come out to indirectly challenge Facebook?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Everyone's getting too excited. No matter how big Apple and Facebook get they are still just "nodes." Galaxies within a Universe. Relax.
- Stephen Pickering
But it's also about who's leading the debate in the marketplace, and how that changes consumer expectations [of what's possible, or should be possible].
- Chris Messina
It's not about technology, it's about people.
- Cliff Gerrish
good comparison with enterprise software SalesForce by Robert
- Jeroen De Miranda
I've got your private twitter right here
- Ross Mayfield
People inherently trust Google much more than Facebook
- Stephen Pickering
I don't think people inherently trust any company. Trust is earned every day.
- Cliff Gerrish
Scoble seems to be arguing that Facebook needs someone who is better at scamming us on camera. Maybe Zuckerberg can't explain what they have done well simply because what they've done isn't good.
- jay morris
Maybe Facebook should hire BP's CEO?
- Chris Messina
@jay Well Google sort of has that model.
- Cliff Gerrish
Maybe I worded that wrong. Google's actions, and non actions have made it the most trusted Brand, and most Valuable Brand in the World
- Stephen Pickering
Jay: you're onto something there. He hasn't explained the good very well.
- Robert Scoble
Chris: Hire BPs' CEO so Mark can get a life?
- Alex de Soto
Like Buffett said about Freddie Mac, "If you see one cockroach, there's more than likely a whole bunch more in there" As why he de invested
- Stephen Pickering
All restaurants have cockroaches. All restaurants aren't Freddie Mac.
- Cliff Gerrish
Not too long ago net apps were all beta-beta-beta. users had base expectations that things would be funky and would change. Now the ugly Fcbook app makes a few changes on the fly and people freak out. Why?
- Frank Paynter
Kevin: show me a single system where I can drag a photo to and see all that stuff work.
- Robert Scoble
When "beta" loses its meaning — or a new class of user comes along and doesn't understand what it means — "beta" is no longer an effective disclaimer.
- Chris Messina
If you design for privacy it will crumble under its complexity. If you design for sharing it can respect privacy while being simply usable.
- Ross Mayfield
for it to work you need more than one system to do it, which is why it takes time to agree
- Kevin Marks
Microsoft continued to grow even though they were not trustworthy, doesn't mean they were right
- Stephen Pickering
we also need to design an experience that can be adopted incrementally (by users).
- Chris Messina
And just why did consumers trust Farmville with their information?
- Alex de Soto
They didn't — they simply wanted to play a game.
- Chris Messina
People aren't interested in hearing what Facebook is "doing." They only care if there's a problem.
- Cliff Gerrish
@chris this is like asking Phillipe Kahn to keep end users apprised of changes in the sensor apps on Apple prods.
- Frank Paynter
Isn't all this talk about trusting information just picking and choosing what "information" is defined as? Isn't every single interaction with any site information? Isn't, well, everything, information that can be captured? If you interact at all with the Internet, haven't you already trusted your information to something/someone?
- Kevin Costain
I expect that sites like Facebook are redefining what information is, and working to find new ways to capture (and possibly share) that information..
- Kevin Costain
Facebook is just a website... my credit union has tighter security but I've chosen to use each and do my best to make sure my use of one doesn't bleed into the other.
- Frank Paynter
opt in at every step is a function that we'd mostly turn off if we could. annoying
- Frank Paynter
too much of this everyone has to be transparent talk seems to pertain to the 'masses' - those at the top have the right to keep things private - like corporations - it all has to be brought out - not just our stuff
- Xenophrenia
(no, really... J.Calacanis is helping FM get leverage by offering a lien on his car)
- Frank Paynter
most people have no real understanding of just how 'public' the internet is
- Xenophrenia
I don't get why Scoble's anecdotes are dismissed because he's not an average user, but Steve's teenage daughter is an acceptable proxy for all teens
- Richard
we'd need "social EULAs" since the data would have social residue from multiple parties.
- Chris Messina
privacy from your parents is easier than privacy from the world
- Vezquex
people don't understand it - not that they don't care
- Xenophrenia
Nobody cares about identity theft until it happens. Nobody cares about health care until they are sick. Nobody cares about privacy until its broken.
- Ross Mayfield
Chris: but email STARTED federated and there's no network effect by not being on Gmail.
- Robert Scoble
robert - i know a lot of people that don't understand what is going on - and don't care because it's too difficult ...
- Xenophrenia
Richard, Scoble said 'teens don't care', hence mentioning specific teens. look at danah boyd's work for more
- Kevin Marks
Humans would end up curled up in a ball in the corner if they had to worry about everything BEFORE these things affected them.
- Chris Messina
Kevin: I didn't say they don't care I said they don't care about what we're talking about. They care about different kinds of things.
- Robert Scoble
RE email... Compuserve / AOL / etc = Facebook / Twitter / etc
- Ken Sheppardson
robert - what part don't you agree with (i've said a lot) ...
- Xenophrenia
Xeno: that people don't understand this.
- Robert Scoble
robert - i know a lot of people who don't understand it - my sister, a couple of brothers - i know a lot of people who think they do but they're actions show me they have no clue ....
- Xenophrenia
Steve obviously hasn't read history if he thinks Governments are a good bet
- Stephen Pickering
Xeno: well, cool. I know a lot of people who DO know and still don't care.
- Robert Scoble
It's not important if any individual understands it. It just needs to work as an ecosystem.
- Cliff Gerrish
"these services are not free" <- the crux of the issue! I like it when I can simply pay for content and services on the Net. I want to the creators to make a good living - what they do is really valuable. What about a pay model for Facebook?
- jay morris
Kevin: yah danah's work would have been a good citation to give. I also studied under Sonia Livingstone who has done extensive research in the UK on young people's use of ICT's. My point was more that it looked like a double-standard in dismissing one person's anecdotes while leaning on anothers.
- Richard
i understand and get sideswiped now and then - facebook created an account for me on scribd without asking me - i have an account and suddenly found myself in an account my_name_#### and it had my facebook profile picture in the profile. this disturbed me a lot .
- Xenophrenia
Scoble wants to give up more of his privacy, it's his business model.
- Cliff Gerrish
Privacy does still exist. We don't know what's being talked about inside the Bilderburg Meeting that's taking place right now, do we?
- Stephen Pickering
aren't they all hooked together in Frederick, <aryland already? Just saying...
- Frank Paynter
robert - but you can't say that people across the board understand this - i understand that people in you're circles do - i agree with the transparency - people don't think more often then don't understand or care from my experience ; )
- Xenophrenia
It just takes too much work to get those benefits today.
- Chris Messina
Privacy is what other people agree not to pass on.
- Cliff Gerrish
privacy is relative .... it means different things to different people
- Xenophrenia
Why doesn't Facebook use Pages for Public stuff and keep the main account private?
- Stephen Pickering
people have NO idea how much of their info is in databases everywhere
- Xenophrenia
Everything means different things to different people, that's how language works.
- Cliff Gerrish
I don't care much about brain surgery - but since my neice has a serious heart defect - i care a whole lot more about advancements in that regard..
- Kevin Costain
robert - there have been people who have lost their insurance coverage for having health information public ... or not been able to get insurance
- Xenophrenia
Xeno: and there are 40,000 people who die in cars every year. We still drive.
- Robert Scoble
Chatroulette is probably a good way of understanding what most people's expectations of privay are.
- Cliff Gerrish
Privacy isn't important as long as you're not important, but the second you come into some power, then it becomes important, for stuff can be used against you
- Stephen Pickering
darn, wonder what Steve was amazed about
- R Macdonald
robert - ? i was just making a comment in regards to your saying that you put your health info online - not sure what that has to do with cars ; )
- Xenophrenia
Xeno: you said doing that is dangerous. Life is dangerous.
- Robert Scoble
robert - yes i know - which is why the transparency has to be everywhere - with everything or those with power will use it against us
- Xenophrenia
Yes, Robert, but the guy who hits you if he was drunk or something does get charged, even if he's famous and has power
- Stephen Pickering
i do agree with you for the most part robert - but there are contexts for us here with little or no voice that seem to get forgotten ...
- Xenophrenia
we are working on getting the stream back up
- Robert Scoble
My point being we are letting FB off the hook because they are popular and still growing. They're guilty, plain and simple. But we're giving them a pass because they're "Hot"
- Stephen Pickering
well, it's been real... bummed that the feed collapsed here though.
- Frank Paynter
Those questions that Walt and Kara posed to Marc, that he couldn't answer. They fooled users to join based on privacy and then flipped the switch
- Stephen Pickering
I wonder if we will ever see Microsoft make some really bold moves?
- Jim Posner
Chris was just explaining that he thinks kids won't know the joy of hardware hacking.
- Cliff Gerrish
Robert: I think things become more popular as the risk, or opportunity cost, is either downplayed or reduced to nothing. Everyone is seeking something of pleasure or value and wants to face no risk in the process. Downplaying all the risk (of, say, driving) is the job the salesperson
- Kevin Costain
robert - is there a way to contact facebook with issues - they're info@facebook.com address is no longer active
- Xenophrenia
there's no reason a tablet can't be a real computer. Android is proving this.
- Vezquex
i'm not saying they are idiotic robert
- Xenophrenia
Chris: Safari required. Chrome doesn't work.
- Robert Scoble
robert - you do realize that i'm not saying everyone is an idiot but that there are those who don't understand? ... and that we can't just ignore them because they are beneath us?
- Xenophrenia
Xeno: My info is in millions of cars. I drive a Ford Ranger and millions of other Ford Ranger drivers know exactly what my dashboard looks like.. :)
- Kevin Costain
There is an incredible efficiency is products that 'just work.'
- Cliff Gerrish
Xeno: computers used to only be for the highly trained. Now they are for everyone. We'll get there.
- Robert Scoble
There is incredible value in products that 'just work.'
- Chris Messina
Seem kicking around Facebook and Apple is the favorite pastime of many of the digerati. Very simplistic approach to tech. There will always be tradeoffs and the people that bitch about them.
- Jim Posner
Cliff is right on: The Merit of Working is incredibly efficient
