Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's Founder Writing Sci-Fi Book - http://www.switched.com/2009...
Thom Allen liked this
"Nolan Bushnell has always been a man slightly ahead of his time. After co-founding Atari in 1972 -- and some might say the video game industry as a whole -- he was forced from the company just before it became a multi-billion dollar business. He followed that up by launching the Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant chain, but again left the company in the mid-'80s over a disagreement with management. (There are more than 500 locations now.) Bushnell's latest venture takes him into uncharted territory on a smaller scale but is nonetheless bold: He's going to the future."

I like the sound and good song. Did the guitarist mix it? Personally, i'd like the vocals to stand out more and the guitar just a tad less in areas but i like it. Very nice. /grats

yeah we mixed/mastered ourselves... I agree - the vocals as a whole could be a little more present. getting them to be up front without "hearing the mic" is a tough balance.

I've found the TweetMeme button to be quite effective, for what it's worth.
- Brandon Mendelson
I know what you mean. I really like the TweetMeme button also.
- Robert Freeze
Brandon, I'm considering that - I'll look at all my options and come up with something. I've stopped seeing any semblance of traffic from Digg, so I'm thinking it's a waste of space to devote to Digg now.
- Jesse Stay
I would also say to use the Tweetmeme button (I have). Digg is not useful. I believe all I have is to add to Delicious, Twitter or FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
If you get a gazillion hits the Digg button is helpful at getting you onto the front page, but these days Digg is gamed so much that unless you can unlease a massive firehose of traffic to that button, there's no way you are getting to the front of the page.
- Davis Freeberg
I had such high hopes of hitting the Digg front page some day - I've decided it's now not worth the energy. Don't think that's going to be checked off my bucket list.
- Jesse Stay
Do you mean remove Digg links from the web site or from the RSS feed (feedburner feedflares, probably) ?
- DGentry
I mean the big "Digg This" link at the top of every post.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse I can say that the TweetMeme RT button has worked really well for me and I have a very low traffic blog. It really increased interaction and visibility.

Was just looking for an opportunity to plug my feedflare. Ah, well.

- Jesse Stay
Ok then: its a FeedBurner FeedFlare for friendfeed, hosted on the Google App Engine. I'm happy to host the service for anyone who wants to use it, instructions are at http://jetsam.geekhold.com/856907 for how to add it to feedburner. The source code is also available for anyone who wants to run their own instance, at http://codingrelic.geekhold.com/2009...
- DGentry
Thanks DGentry! I'll look into adding that - Louis Gray gave me one awhile back. Is it the same as what's on his blog?
- Jesse Stay
from email
No, its not the same. The one Louis uses was written by Kevin Fox (http://www.louisgray.com/live...) and runs on your own PHP server. His works by locating your friendfeed entry from your blog's RSS feed, and reports the likes/comments on it. Mine searches friendfeed for all occurrences of the blog entry's URL, totals the likes/comments,...

- DGentry
Also mine runs on the Google App Engine, not your own server. Installation is simple: add http://feedflare.geekhold.com/feedfla... to your FeedBurner FeedFlare config. Thats it. If you really want to run your own server you can by signing up for Google App Engine and downloading the source I linked to earlier, then pointing FeedBurner to your own GAE instance.
- DGentry
DGentry nice! I'll try to add that shortly.

I forget exactly what Amazon's deal re: DRM is. (They might be unaffected) But Apple's increase was part of their deal to remove copy protection from the files you buy.

Amazon sells .mp3s, Michael. Don't have to worry any restrictions.

Amazon followed Apple and also has tiered pricing. You'll find many of "today's hottest jamz!" at $1.29 on Amazon- like Beyonce for instance. I don't know how closely they follow each other though.

The ribbon is actually the main reason I don't use the later versions of Office :) Great effort in jQuery though
- Mo Kargas
The ribbon actually takes up the same (sometimes less) screen real estate in Office as the usual set of toolbars people had open did, except you have access to everything with only one toolbar open instead of having to show and hide several. It might be a bit much in a browser though. In a browser, I'd implement it all collapsed to the tab labels, fly out on hover, and put commonly used actions in the quick launch area next to the office icon.

Lou: absolutely! That will be a subtext to everything.
- Robert Scoble
Hmm, but mobile is moving more and more to tailor-made-mobile, not just a bare bones version of the website: maybe that's a paradigm shift you could mention.
- Joel Haasnoot
If CIO's aren't careful, paradigm shifts become paradigm shafts, as they take a sudden beating in a marketplace.

- James Furlo

- Robert Scoble
I just gave a similar talk here in LA yesterday. My take on it as a former CIO is how the consumer/general internet systems are tackling the problems that have plagued enterprise. From single sign on to data portability, transparency, collaboration and real time communication. They need to start looking at these systems as the model for the new enterprise in 2010 and beyond.
- Jerry Schuman
In cloud, what about development availability, S3, EC2, gist, gnip, the glue movement, shared data center and server resources (there's your Rackspace plug)
- Lou Paglia
Boxee might be a good topic as they are trying to make it a media player with a social web component.
- dthree
Lou: that's another area I underplayed on purpose because I could spend an hour there. Personally it'll lead us down a rathole and keep us from talking about the bigger trends. If they start deploying anything new they'll need hosting and we'll be involved in the conversation then.
- Robert Scoble
David: Boxee is a good one to discuss.
- Robert Scoble
an overall theme is the shift in technology moving consumer to enterprise rather than the other way around. For companies its more important than ever to look at what startups/small biz are doing vs thinking "they'll be using my big system in 5 years".
- William Kapes
Should Boxee really be on a CIO's radar at this point, is convergence of web with the digital home even part of the CIO conversation, should it be?
- Lou Paglia
Sometimes I wonder if CIO's really grok the way the folks they support WORK day to day. Sometimes we're at home w/a crying baby, sometimes on the road w/customers, sometimes in the office. As a sales marketing geek for years, I always wanted to scream, "Hey guys, I'm in a rental car on a frigging windy road north of Portland in a thunderstorm trying to connect to the system to get the new pricing sheet, do you GET my life? Help me out here!"

- Enrique Gutierrez
Mogulus in the live video section? And why not other sites, like BlipTV or others, for those who edit and upload higher quality videos that are shareable?
- Ken Kaplan
Since these are CIO's you can talk about how sometimes even "outlaw" technologies can find a place in the modern workplace. There are companies using BitTorrent to push out updates among sites, saves on bandwidth since it goes distributed. But I think the biggest focus of your talk, since its you :), should be the influence of the social and real-time web and its impact. Again, your strength and you've only got 30 mins
- William Kapes
@Lou Paglia, got that right.
- Halley Suitt
Ken: good point. I love Blip. But again I wasn't trying to be comprehensive.
- Robert Scoble
topline think this may be too granular for most CIOs - this group is broad predictions for the path + a few examples. Functionally expand microblogging add Twitter then let niche apps flow from there.
- Carol Lynn Martens
Doesn't LinkedIn apply. There is a lot of professional interaction and the Answers section for mentoring.
- Alan Eggleston
CIOs are going to be most interested in security, and not necessarily hampering the discussion (some will), but rather how they can track what people are saying within the company, and how they can better train those that use social media in the company. At least that was my experience speaking to a similar group of CIOs in Dallas last year.
- Jesse Stay
Alan: I was on purpose leaving out older social networks like Linked In, Twitter, and Facebook. I want to focus on what's disruptive.
- Robert Scoble
not sure if this was asked above...but will there be a video of this, Robert?
- Carlos Ayala
Carlos, nope, sorry. Usually with a small intimate group (only about 20) they want to have off the record conversations.
- Robert Scoble
Unless I missed something there may be a gap in terms of viral video (YouTube, etc), shared image hosting and slideshows, and even presentation sharing (SlideShare, AuthorSTREAM)--with literacy and attention spans down these become key communication components IMHO on two levels -- ease of use (post once link anywhere) and ability to comment and rate to build communities of passion.

- Jerry Schuman
Hi CIOs, the smarts are moving to the edges of the organization so dust off your resumes, your roles are obsolete
- Tweet Feeds
I think there will be more mixture between real life and online life. Sharing identities & connections will be as common as exchanging business cards right now. And, I predict, you will be tagging real-life objects with your phone (or your My name is E connector) to put them as favorites online. Or to ask for a product sample with one simple motion (thanks to nfc and rfid). So, 'sharing identities / mixing real and virtual' deserves some attention... Good luck!

I'm curious as to how the CIO of Home Depot responded. Being a B&M hardware store, they aren't very big on Tech (ask me about using and deploying Office 97 in 2004 *shudder*). When I was there, there was lots of energy going in to SAP and other ERP related products/projects but not much energy going into making sure employees could use those tools. I digress...so how did it go?
- EricaJoy
EricaJoy: I don't remember a specific response from him. There was some of the usual pushback about why I would share so much of my life online. Other than that I was impressed that they were very literate on the topics and services I showed.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I don't see sync and version control products on your mind map. I think they are getting important for information management.

From a psychological standpoint, what do you think the effect would be on an audience who views ALL your status updates with an accompanying picture of you or your surroundings in the exact moment of your update? Would they grow to feel like they have a more intimate relationship with you or would they find it to be annoying?
Iván Abrego, Thom Allen, enza (aka iVenus) and 18 other people liked this
I believe people would form a more intimate relationship with the updater because the thoughts and tiny stories of their life would be accompanied by a photographic illustration of the person in their particular moment.
- Brad Williamson
If the updater do that in every post, it'll become annoying. Otherwise, I agree with you.
- Arnaldo M Pereira
Judging by last Friday night I would have to say that *not* seeing people at the point of their input is a blessing....to the people who are posting :)
- WorldofHiglet
@Arnaldo I'm a bit confused. You agree with me that it would cause audiences to form a more intimate relationship with the updater, but at the same time you'd find it to be annoying?
- Brad Williamson
Every post, it would be very annoying. If it's merited, then no so much.
- Admiral Anika
It would probably have an impact on the interaction/reception. But I think the effect would depend on the picture and the text - that is, the con-text. I'm leaning towards annoying.
- phil baumann
Let me clarify: This practice would only be used in instances when someone performs a real status update, not "updates" which are used to share links and such. Personally, I believe that if you're someone who updates their status with thoughts and experiences, instead of links to interesting thing on the Web (like most Twitterers do) then I think you could make the virtual story of your life much more interesting.
- Brad Williamson
Currently, the status updates we perform are only text-based, leaving the visual element of the person's update up to the imagination to formulate. I think so much more relationship building could be achieved if pics were included in these updates - especially when interacting with people you don't know very well.
- Brad Williamson
Whatever the answer may be, it'll probably require an MRI to figure out!
- Justin Davey
That feels like too much information...I think it might turn off more people than it would bring in.
- Thor
I'm not gonna lie, I have to stop myself from accompanying too many of my updates with pics. I think it would be awesome, but if people think I'm an attention whore now...what would they think then?
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
@Rasheen I see you as being someone who's made quite an impression on FriendFeeders. Don't you think your inclusion of photos has done you more good in relationship building than bad? And as long as your photographic content entertains, it really shouldn't matter if people think you're an attention whore, right? If they don't like it, then you probably don't want to have a relationship with them.
- Brad Williamson
The capability to add a pic would be good, but I'd also like the option to turn it off. As for "audience" ... most of the people who follow/subscribe to you don't read or look at every single thing you post.
- LANjackal
@Lanjackal If most people don't read or look at every single thing you post, then wouldn't it make more sense to engage your audience's mind with something that stimulates the senses more? Seems as if you'd get more attention that way.
- Brad Williamson
it might take some getting used to at first, but i see it as just an extension of what's currently going on. there are plenty of people (here on friendfeed and elsewhere) who divulge very intimate (and sometimes unnecessary) information about their personal lives through simple words. if i'm at the park and provide an image of me at the park -- how does that compare to someone writing about how shitty they feel about themselves?
- Cee Bee
Oh, definitely. The responses I got to my pics on FF is the reason I began incorporating pics into a lot of my updating activity across the board. Pikchur makes this easy. I'm with you that it increases the level of engagement and intimacy just as including photos and video increases the effectiveness of any marketing campaign. There is definitely a danger of overdoing it, though. That it where I sometimes struggle with it :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
@Cee Yeah, one would definitely need to determine the level of transparency they want to divulge before taking such an approach. But with both the examples you just gave, I see an accompanying pic as an incredible way to enhance a tiny status update's impact.
- Brad Williamson
There are certain types of updates I'll often share with photos. A couple of examples being whenever I eat, I may share a photo of my food. If my kids are doing something interesting, you may catch a photo/vid of that. People seem to enjoy those :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
@Rahsheen I think as the culture of the Net evolves we'll all figure out how much info is too much info. You seem to understand this and have done a great job of nudging your life into the lives of others.
- Brad Williamson
With FriendFeed standing as the most probable example of what social networking is going to look like in the future, I think online communities are going to evolve quicker when our physical and virtual experiences are accompanied by an appropriate amount of multimedia. Personally, I rarely look at articles on FriendFeed that don't have pics attached to them, and, on the same note, I...

- Brad Williamson
Funny you should bring this up, Brad. It's something I've been thinking about lately because I feel like I could be doing a much better job of it. It's so easy to include photo in videos using services like 12seconds.tv, Twitpic, Pikchur, whatever that I feel I should be doing a better job of including media on a regular basis.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Yeah, man, as a Virtual Biographer I gotta always be thinking about how I can liven up the stories of client's lives, and if you don't have multimedia attached to text-based stories you're really increasing the probability that audiences won't give a damn about what you have to say or share. As for you Rahsheen... you seem to be doing a killer job.
- Brad Williamson
sort of why seesmic is popular
- mike "glemak" dunn
*curtsies*
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
This is a very interesting idea. I wonder if this would become a bit mundane and boring if people are taking pics from the same location, (ie, someone's room or office). @mike I agree with you about Seesmic, but it is tough to compare video and just a picture.
- Shawn Hickman
@Shawn Yeah, I too think it would get a bit old seeing a pic of a person in the same location with frequency. A web cam pic here and a web cam pic there would be fine; but too many pics like the one I have in this thread would probably turn off a lot of people's interest in your mini-thoughts, over the long-term.
- Brad Williamson
@Mike True, Seesmic is doing quite well. But, so many of us find ourselves in situations where we aren't able to record or play back a video status update (example: at work). For this reason, I don't think video status updates will ever become people's sole medium for broadcasting the mini-thoughts and experiences of their life. With that said, the addition of pictures with status updates continues to come back as the best way to engage audiences on a more intimate level.
- Brad Williamson
agreed brad, i've had a seesmic acct since it started and used it a lot at first but then stopped - just no time to keep up - the photo idea is a good one
- mike "glemak" dunn
I'm thinking a picture every time you posted would drive those with a slow computer or a slow Internet connection nuts.
- Brent - Loving Life
That would be a lifestream blog, a live video and audio stream, the audience would probably identify more closely with the lifestreamer, it would be the equivalent of a truman show...
- TrafficBug
More than the contextual richness of a single event e.g. one status update (especially if they are ordinary, as most of the updates), it is the continuity of the 'observation' that shape the relationship. But a level of observation as rich as you propose, would hardly be sustainable.

I understand why: there are some people here who've caught flack from their employers about things they've said, etc. A private feed helps avoid that pitfall, and I respect the need to balance participation with keeping your job.

Delicious, along with MyBlogLog, has been horribly mismanaged by Yahoo!. Don't expect much.
- Louis Gray
Agreed. At this point I still use Delicious because it is built into my bookmarking. Never go there.
- Neal Jansons
They [Del.icio.us] need to come up with some new stuff. Whether interactive, sharing, semantic stuff ... but they need to continue to develop their product.
- Michael Jung
Presumably Delicious/Yahoo employ developers. What do they do all day?
- Barak B
I know when I'm quiet in releasing new features I'm working on behind-the-scenes architecture. Maybe they've just limited that department and the few there are stuck working on architecture right now. Or maybe there's some super-secret UI that will be released in the future.

To RT, click http://twitter.com/home... It uses OAuth, so no password is required, and it automatically finds your Twitter friends on FriendFeed! It also imports your profile and picture.

Paul, that would be wonderful, thank you. I'm keen to use FF as a kinda Twitter client. I'd love the ability to import my group I've created on Tweetvisor too but that would additionally require exporting facilities from Tweetvisor, and from asking them they've told me it's low priority (which is fair enough).

Love that you guys are making the entry more enticing. What about refining what FriendFeed is further? Like: Twitter + conversation. For new people who don't get it and most without the time to get it, simplifying the message or experimenting further with your "first impression" on your splash page might be worth a try. Example: wouldn't it be cool to have a live conversation streaming to show just how FF has a leg up on the scattered Twitter stream?

@Robert cannot seem to do that with groups. What I want to do: Concentrate different RSS feeds (e.g. newswires) which do not necessarily have an account in any other social network into one imaginary friend's collection of feeds.
- Mark Jacobs
Mark, "groups" (formerly "rooms") are able to import feeds just like regular users (and imaginary friends). See https://friendfeed.com/xoogle-... for example (imports the blogs of all known xoogle startups). The only thing special about imaginary friends is that they don't have usernames (or rather we assign a random 128 bit username).
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, the DM option on imaginary friends should perhaps be removed. Also, imaginary friends do not show up on the search dropdown list when you type in their name in the search box.
- Kol Tregaskes
Paul, is it possible to automatically create "imaginary friends" from twitter following list? What I would like is to read all my Twitter in FriendFeed; many of twitterers though are not on FF, so I have to create them by hand which is tedious. Also, it would be nice to allow to add them to some special list.

Still would like an imaginary friend than making bunch of Groups to simulate peoples that doesn’t use FF. BTW, unlike the Facebook Connect login, when I tried logging in using Twitter, it made a new account for me on FF instead of opening my own (which also has Twitter activity added).

Allen, that's because you're not using the FriendFeed Beta ;-)
- Jesse Stay
oh yea Jesse?
- Allen Stern
I know this wasn't Jesse's intent, but it's probably not wise to design a marketing piece PRIMARILY to appeal to one particular reviewer (no matter how influential, or perceptive, said reviewer may be). While that's a good secondary goal, the primary goal should be to appeal to your target audience. And, of course, you yourself have to be comfortable with what you're writing.

Allen I think it is massively lame for a tech blogger to celebrate not staying up to date.
- Robert Scoble
John: Not good for the whole piece, but maybe good to design a headline that you know will catch a few particular reviews eyes.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
i guess i am lame then - i haven't had time to look into yet so I didn't want to just load it up - i am working on a variety of things the last week or so - it's not that i won't just that I haven't had time yet - i don't want to do it a disservice by spending a minute here or there - so that's why i haven't loaded it up yet
- Allen Stern
Scoble's blog has never been great at sending traffic to sites he links to. Or at least that has been my experience given the various times he's linked to my blog. I don't pay enough attention to my traffic from Twitter/Friendfeed to be able to tell if there is a significant difference from when Robert likes one of my posts compared to other times.
- Dare Obasanjo
Dare - when Scoble posted a link to my startup deep in one of his posts (not about my startup) i saw a good deal of traffic from it - and received a few orders as well - something only a few of the other tech bloggers sent - actual paying orders.
- Allen Stern
well that makes me want to use FF more often now :P
- Gaith
Allen, you're probably right in waiting on the beta until you can devote a bit of time to it. Some people have to tweak their settings (e.g. set up additional lists and/or special filters) to truly interact effectively with the beta.

- Gaith
An interesting observation Louis. I'll add something to it: The links I post myself via friendfeed "likes" seem to get more traffic, and definitely get retweeted more on twitter. It's not just a Scoble effect. Maybe there's something to the way the tweet says: Liked "Thus and so" that makes people want to click on it more. (That said, I've taken some heat for "liking" stuff that I only liked to post it out to twitter, and in fact hated it and wanted people to see it as well. )

- Mike Nayyar
Alex, I tried to mean Robert. Yay, it's not true anymore :-( :-)
- Alp
Dare: sometimes when I link to things only 10 people take the bait. Other times 1,000 do. I think it has to do with whether there's something really new and also how much people spread around that particular post. This is VERY important in the world of Twitter. It's the retweeting and liking behavior that determines how much traffic something gets.

Depends, I went on a hiding spree, wasn't getting as much as I used to.
