Is it sad that I've been Ctrl+Alt+Del for over 15 years I never thought to use the delete key by the number pad? on a mac now, so I guess I have an excuse, but wow...

WiseYoda, or the one-handed Ctrl+Alt+Delt, is the Ctrl+Alt on the right with the closest Del button. Gosh, I'm such a geek. ;-)

Yeah, that's the one I use, unless I'm already typing.

This is pretty funny. Oh, and I had no idea that that using the numpad '.' for del overrode the Num Lock when doing CTRL+ALT+DEL. Interesting. I can already do the one-handed three finger salute quite quickly, though. Plenty of training and all.

My 23 year-old sister signs up for Twitter, cancels. "Saw no point in the account."

Whenever I am on Twitter my gf never fails to remind me how stupid and pointless she thinks it is
- Holden Page
So someone in *your* family doesn't grok Twitter either. My brother says he'll never even set up a Twitter account at all; he sees no point either. Apparently these people see the words "What are you doing?" above the text box and think it's nothing but the Facebook status update without Facebook. Some people just don't get it at all...
- Dennis Jernberg
In *my* family (asterisks per Dennis), most of them use Facebook. Nobody else uses Twitter at all.
- Louis Gray
in my family everyone uses Facebook as well, my mom has a twitter account, she never touches it, she thinks it is dumb.
- Holden Page
Sure enough, Facebook is exactly what everybody in my family but me uses, too! Well, I'm on Facebook too, but I don't use it like they do. For one thing, I don't play any of the games; I hide them instead. And none of them has even heard of FriendFeed...

hahaha that is epic!! Twittter got dissed by Ms Gray :D

My family is the same. Twitter is pointless to them. There's so much more than just status updates to them.
- Jesse Stay
Well, I don't get Twitter either. Anyone want to explain it to me?
- Cristo
It's not fun when you sign up and have no friends / people to interact with...and all the interesting people only talk to each other. All my friends didn't "see a point" until they built their own network(s). Just sayin'
- Mona Nomura
My wife is also that way, btw - I may *just* be able to get her to join FourSquare though.

Jesse, it took a lot of work, but i got my gf to join FriendFeed haha

As if Twitter is some brilliant thing that only a certain so-called tech crowd gets.
- Cristo
My sister has known that I've used Twitter for several years now. Whenever I brought it up, that was her reaction, "Don't get it. Don't see the point." She created an account a month or so ago and she's totally into it now. When I asked her what made the difference, she shrugged and said she wasn't sure. "Your friends started using it, didn't they?" I asked her. "Yes." heh. :D
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
Why don't you guys go have this conversation on Twitter? :)
- Cristo
Pfff. Cristo, you know full well twitter can't deal with the c word. :)
- Micah Wittman
I will make the bold prediction that most of my brothers and sisters will never join or use Twitter. I have one brother that does, occasionally, but the rest will never, ever use it. There's no point when they can get the same thing from Facebook and more.
- Jesse Stay
Mona - nailed it! :)
- Susan Beebe
Re Mona: I myself didn't even bother to sign up for Twitter till this last June, when I discovered an existing online songwriting community I belong to had a Twitter presence. That's when I set up my account and started to use Twitter. Then I found that some of the NaNoWriMo offshoots I take part in also had a Twitter presence. That was the beginning. Since then I've built up a much...

Only a few of my real-life friends are even on Facebook, and the ones that are rarely update. The social web can be pretty disappointing sometimes.
- Michael Slattery
from iPhone
Most everyone I know is on Facebook now, with a few exceptions that refuse to use much of anything on the internet except for youtube and blogs. Nobody gets the point of twitter, especially with facebook/friendfeed offering the same type of communication options, if not more. However, the nice thing about twitter/friendfeed is that it's searchable. The other day I was watching the events from Fort Hood unfold on twitter. I couldn't do that easily on facebook. That's where twitter shines.

My Second Life avatar started on Twitter in the good old days, when everyone you followed followed you back. But my real life account has about 20 followers, so it only really works as a reader - and that rocks.
- Michael Slattery
from iPhone
second life.. i read books like snow crash, get excited and find SL nothing like it ;)
- Terry O'Fee
If new users have no followers and fail to get the reader part, of course they stop. And the statistics confirm that.
- Michael Slattery
from iPhone
I do agree. It is really difficult to convince someone to use twitter. And even if I do, they don't stay active on the service. They too state "I don't see any point in the service". Often are the times when they are convincing me it is nothing but a blog platform with 140 characters limit.
- Amit
I've learned that it's not a good idea to try to convince friends to join Twitter. Unless they get it, they will simply annoy you with Facebook style Tweets. Better to seek out Twitter users who have learned the knack of posting interesting Tweets.
- Jimmy Walker
If she doesn't get it, or anyone else for that matter, be glad they're on their way. Twitter never worked for me either and I'm happily not participating as well.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I just realized I've been forgetting to tell them to start by following interesting people and not even think about posting their own tweets for the first little while (Robert's advice) - I wonder if that would make more of a difference.

- Trish R

- EBrewer
I see Twitter as another information portal, and a social channel (albeit limited). For those things it's great. I don't use facebook all that much, but it's good to chat with old friends to say howdy and share current happenings. I'm me no matter what social hub I'm on, but the local laws/rules/community etiquette fits my preferences better in some virtual hangouts.
- Mark Essel

My daughter of about the same age also got and shortly thereafter canceled a twitter account.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
Twitter is useful as a minimalist news broadcasting system. Twitter is worse than useless as a medium for conversation. I mostly use Twitter in combination with Topsy searches to pluck off the most interesting news stories of the day on selected topics. Without Topsy, I would stop using Twitter entirely because of the information overload.
- Sean McBride
Mona's point is pretty much spot on. I kind of "imported" a Revision 3 forum network into Twitter, which led to FriendFeed, which had sort of a recursive bend back into Twitter, which led to finding Twitter recommendations, which then opened me up to following people from IRL, and then...ah crap. I've stopped using Twitter as much, though, because Facebook is where the people I CARE about really are. And in case you're wondering, I'm friends with Mona on Facebook ;)
- Mike Nayyar
I've hit a wall trying to get my friends to sign up for Twitter. It's like they've got an image issue. Whenever I try to explain it's value for news and as RSS replacement, people sort of stop listening. They're left thinking it's Facebook without the "fun stuff," which is lesser and redundant for them.
- Jeremiah Green
Is it fair to say that the tweets related to tech news that some folks think are so wonderful and important are primarily links to web sites, blogs, new articles, and so on produced by someone other than the tweeter? So far as I've seen, subscribing to, say, all the employees of a company doesn't produce much news about the company; instead you see posts about where the employees ate lunch and stuff like that. Of course I may just not be looking at the right people.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
Unless you have a defined business strategy, there really is not much point to Twitter, unless you just want to connect for fun, which is under my business strategy :)
- Steve Borgman
Actually I don't see the point either, but I'm still here :)

I keep a Twitter account just for a case of emergency, because it gets translated everywhere, and their mobile client is the lightest.

I have all three FB, FF and Twitter - FB is for people I know personally save very few exceptions, FF & Twiiter overlap and are people I tend to follow but I dont know from adam - I prefer FF tho . I now have GW as of last night but am still struggling to get the hang of it- will lose my twitter acct I think
- viki saigal
SuezanneC has summed twitter up quite well. None of my family use twitter, took me ages to 'get it' but although my family all use Facebook, I don't like it. I stay to keep in touch with them.
- Sandra Large
It is very hard to keep motivated with all the bots, spam, ads, slaves and etc. Don't feel bad if you make mistakes because this is a new thing that is evolving underneath the feet of everyone on it. Like a quick sand that none of my family understand and I'm finding month to month that the growth of twitter it is getting more chaotic and the numbers of fake profiles is increasing, but...

not sure if I like your use of mybloglog.

I'm attempting minimalism. that is why I killed all commenting. if I want people's opinions then I put a friendfeed widget in manually. I also undid everything. I literally...

- Noah David Simon
Yes, I track people who visit my blog via myblod widget, that is what it is for. The person visiting a blog that has my log widget must be logged in into theor myblog to be tracked! My blog has always been minimalized. I told you about this one year ago, but you did not want to listen and put all kind of crap on yours. If it takes long time to load, people leave. I also put myblog widget in IFRAME html tag, so it does not effect blog loading! Even when myblog is down, blog louds no problem!

yes... you were right. ...but also you don't need the widget to put the script in. you can still track people covertly

"Bulverism is a logical fallacy in which, rather than proving that an argument is wrong, a person instead assumes it is wrong, and then goes on to explain why the other person held that argument. It is essentially a circumstantial ad hominem argument. The term "Bulverism" was coined by C. S. Lewis. It is very similar to Antony Flew's "Subject/Motive Shift"." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... sound like a certain strategy from Sean McBride? I think so

Greed is the root all evil; money is just the most common, ready face of it.

False. There is no root of all evil, but many roots and manifestations. Aside from that, money by itself is simply a tool for facilitating exchange. You wouldn't call a shovel the root of all evil if someone used one to bash someone's head in.

Money is like social medi it's only a tool. It's how one uses a tool that makes it good or evil.

@Sean: If evil stemming from ignorance isn't evil, then it would seem there is no evil. All evil is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean it's not evil. Even psychotic people who are that way due to a chemical imbalance are such because they are ignorant of how to act better (or why they should), and we are ignorant of a cure.

@Igor: I agree evil stems from ignorance - I was referring to the definition of ignorance. You (facetiously) offered to bribe me on that point. ;P
- Tanath
@Heather, I think it's just an easy quote. It really doesn't make sense to blame it for all evil. :)
- Tanath
@sherijohnson: Check the quote. It does not say love of money is the root of _all_evil.
- Tanath
That's fine, Tanath. Because that's not what the Scripture says: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." Not ALL, but a whole freaking lot.
- Steven Perez
And I disagree, in a sense. Sure, excessive love of money can lead to all kinds of evil, but I think that can only exist in the context of ignorance... If there is any root of "all evil" I think it must be ignorance.
- Tanath
I dunno. I know plenty of smart people who let their love of money get in the way of their good sense, and it never seems to work out well for them.
- Steven Perez
But everyone is ignorant in some ways. No one knows everything or is completely wise.
- Tanath
Ignorance is part of the human condition. You might as well blame sunlight for being too bright.
- Steven Perez

Indeed. I never said we could eliminate ignorance or evil - but we can try to do the best we can.
- Tanath

On that, we both agree. :)

No. I've seen people do crappy things out of sheer cussedness, for free.
- Jennifer Dittrich
@Steven: You really think love of money is the root of all evil? Then what do you say about the point that evil existed and would still exist without money? Money is just a tool. Tools aren't good or evil, it's in how they're used and the consequences they bring about.
- Tanath
Hence, the "all kinds" before the "of evil". Not to say that people won't do evil things without making some on the side, but watch how motivated they get when there's a paycheck attached to the job.
- Steven Perez
from IM
But only those who are ignorant of why they shouldn't behave in certain ways will act in those ways. Unless they're completely apathetic, in which case I'd argue that that is ignorant too.
- Tanath
If they are ignorant - that is to say, unaware of the harm that their actions cause - then can they truly be evil?

There's a difference between "being evil," or having an evil character, and doing evil.

I'm still struggling to figure out what exactly you find objectionable about the quote I used.

Only these: 1 - You quoted the bible, as if it proves something, and 2 - love of money is not the root of all evil, as has been implied.
- Tanath
Ah. (1) So you object to the source material. Fine, that's your prerogative. But that doesn't prove it wrong. (2) Read the quote again. There are no absolutes in that quote.
- Steven Perez
from IM
I wipe my ass with 1 Dollar bills.
- Matt Ruiz
I realize that. I meant that others have implied it. And my objecting to the source isn't proof in itself, but that doesn't mean there isn't proof.
- Tanath
You know what the #1 quote from the movie CASABLANCA is? "Play it again, Sam." Just one problem - that quote never happens in the movie. At all. Yet, that's what people erroneously hear over and over again. Kinda like that Scripture you object to.
- Steven Perez
from IM
Others in this thread have implied it. I'm one of the ones pointing out that the quote doesn't imply it's the root of all evil. See my comment to sherijohnson for instance. :)
- Tanath
Your stance is akin to you quoting a truism from a Harry Potter book and me objecting to the quote because I don't care for Harry Potter.
- Steven Perez
from IM
On the contrary. The manner in which you quoted the bible seemed to imply that it has some authority on the matter. This is debatable to say the least.
- Tanath
***Which is why I included the quote.*** I can recall a quote poorly, but if I actually post the quote from the source material, the only objections you could feasibly have about it are (a) you don't like the source material or (b) the quote is incorrect. Since you've already indicated that the quote is not false, what other explanation is left?
- Steven Perez
from IM
I wonder if we're talking past each other here. What exactly is the point of contention?
- Tanath
And considering that the question is based on the quote, it seems facetious NOT to remind all what exactly was said.
- Steven Perez
from IM
The question isn't necessarily based on the biblical quote.
- Tanath
You know of another source that uses this? Such information would have been helpful.
- Steven Perez
from IM
It's part of common culture, and I'm sure there are prior sources for the notion. Edit: But even if they aren't, it's his own question whether it's been asked before or not.
- Tanath
I would love to hear about those.
- Steven Perez
from IM
Though I don't see how it would be helpful - except for a debate about the bible.
- Tanath
I get the distinct impression that, had I used a quote from a philospher, I would not have received such a vigorous debate about the veracity of my source.
- Steven Perez
from IM
You call this a vigorous debate? :P Actually, I only just bothered to look up the quote, and according to the KJV, it DOES say that love of money is the root of all evil.
- Tanath
See, that was your first mistake. When was the KJV compiled? The 17th century. Try looking up that quote in any modern translation, and you'll find something different, such as my own Bible, the New World Translation: "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."
- Steven Perez
from IM
The KJV is apparently considered to be one of the more accurate translations. Meh. My point was that it does say it in some translations, so it makes sense for it to be quoted as such, and isn't necessarily a misquote.
- Tanath
Yeah - back in 1611.

You think the increasing loss of the original languages has helped the later translations?
- Tanath
Given the sheer number of codices that exist from between the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls and today, I think they are certainly more than enough reference sources to verify the translations. Certainly today, it is easier to get a better translation, simply due to the speed that information travels and the outlet available for double-checking one's translation, than it was back in 1611.

Meh. Not really interested in turning this thread into a biblical debate. ;) I have other relevant threads in my feed if you're interested in that. I'd rather stick to the point here and not hijack the thread.
- Tanath
Steven: The Bible quote came across as an appeal to authority argument. I think that's what Tanath is trying to express. Please forgive me if I'm mistaken.

Tanath - Most people like to think of themselves as good people, but there are no absolutes in this respect. Some of the greatest evils are perpetrated by people who believe they are doing good. Human nature, by dint of evolutionary traits tends towards the cruel, selfish and greedy (just watch children at play to see what I mean). Thus, whilst I don't disagree with your argument, I think that my point still stands.
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
Slippy, this is a point I've made myself above, but the cruel tendencies are remnants from times past. We are evolving towards more civilized behaviour. Selfishness & greed must eventually lose out over more wise behaviour.
- Tanath
Tanath, to identify the source of a quote is not the equivalent of "hi-jacking" a conversation. It is simply identifying your source. In this instance, the quote that started this thread was not a mis-quote, but rather an incomplete one: it was as people tend to remember it with the most outstanding memory aids in that sentence: "money" and "evil". However, the point of the quote is...

I want JS-Kit's Echo on my blog and http://www.building43.com in the worst way. Yo, @chrissaad can we make it happen on Monday?

Looks like the best commenting around, i hope many bloggers will take it for a spin.

I was on the fence for a while, but echo has pushed me to test it out. Sorry Backtype, giving the other guy a try :)
- Bwana ☠
Echo sounds too unfocused. I still want conversation to center around my blog. Comments aren't dead, IMO, despite what JS-Kit wants you to think.
- Jesse Stay
Bwana: No worries—hope you find a comment system you're happy with!

What does JS-Kit have over Disqus or Intense Debate?

Justin: real time.

I REALLY want this for my game pages. I currently use the static Facebook comments box. Real-time comment updates would create a much more interesting experience. Players could essentially "chat" as they played my games. Here is one of my current sites with the Facebook comments: http://www.farseergames.com/diverga...

Thanks for the pointer, Robert!

Jesse: I see Echo as pulling conversations BACK to my blog. At least that's my thesis after seeing it demoed. I will try it and we'll see.
- Robert Scoble
Weblog, shmeblog. I'm fine commenting on your articles through FriendFeed. That's part of the benefit of installing the FF sidebar isn't it?
- Mitch
Robert: "I see Echo as pulling conversations BACK to my blog." Can you elaborate this point further? :)
- jan geronimo
Jan: yes, a lot of my behavior is to pull people from Twitter to FriendFeed to have real time converstions. Soon, thanks to Echo, I will be able to pull them to my blog instead. That will be a huge shift for me.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks, Robert. Huge point for Echo. Just integrated Disqus in my blog. And now I have to lust after another platform? :) Will keep tabs on how well it works for your blog.
- jan geronimo
Robert, Disqus already brings those conversations back to your blog, on a much larger platform. Just enter you social network credentials in your blog's profile settings.
- Jesse Stay
They've actually had that for months now. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Robert: Just curious, what is real time about it?
- Daniel Ha
What about SEO? Are the ECHOed comments on your blog seen by search engines? Also, I'm just getting used to the live conversations on FF and like this format very much.
- ASKJDOG
Daniel: Real time is all about having conversations like this one.. in real time, rather than posting a comment, then waiting for a reply as with traditional blog commenting. I was asking the same question just a couple of days ago :)
- ASKJDOG
The big difference to me, is with real-time: Player 1 can be playing one of my games with the comment window visible off to the side. Player 2, playing my game somewhere else in the world makes a comment about the game. Player 1 sees that comment instantly and can respond if they like. It allows a conversation to be struck on the spot. Would work the same way with blog posts...
- Jeff Weber
I didn't realize echo was real time...but I was just falling in love with disqus. I suppose if they go real time it could change things.
