I'd better keep an eye on this. - Kamilah Gill

Anyone know what you're supposed to do as a preventative measure (besides eating right and staying in shape)? Is there like a regular check-up or something? Red flag symptoms? - Mark Trapp

There is a diabetes risk calculator here: http://www.diabetes.org/risk-t... Regular checkups are always a good thing, especially as you get older; assuming they draw blood as part of your exam, a test for blood glucose should be included. You can also buy a hemoglobin A1c home test at the drug store or online, assuming you don't mind a needle stick :-) - Karim

Sweet-tasting urine (glycosuria) is a red flag. I'm pretty sure doctors don't actually taste urine anymore though. Or if they do, the cost is not covered by insurance. - Karim

Can you imagine at BlogHer? "Oh look, the LADY bloggers are here" aaah. I'm easily amused tonight. And I have a PILE of work staring me in the face. Helllo Friend Feed Procrastination! - Erin Kotecki Vest

You gonna have any of them Roller Derby bloggers. I've got to believe that some Roller Derby woman blogs. That'd be my FTW! moment. Update-Bingo http://pennjerseyshedevils.blo... - Mark Forman

Probably. - Erin Kotecki Vest

I would much prefer the title of "pushy broad chick blogger" personally. Maybe it's just me. - Kelby

Who uses the word 'lady' anymore? Are those folks 80? Do they think the MOMocrats are? Every time I hear that word now I think of the sketch on "Little Britain": I'm a laaaaaaaady (trilled by a badly made up transvestite--fooling nobody--in turn-of-the-century dress & parasol). - Ayşe E.

It will just be reborn. No point killing it. - Kelby

They think they are providing a public service. What they don't realize is, its going to take a whole lot more than that to make me go get a life. - Russell Holliman

I just snorted with laughter, Russell. Look how fast we throw our heroin over here instead. : ) - Chris Brogan

The fail whale has three distinct stages, Fail Beached and Dire... http://tinyurl.com/633fng - Paul Rj Muller via twhirl

Alright, Chris just made me do a spit take...thumping my arm, lookin' for a vein, LOL - Cheryl Allin

Maybe while you and the rest of the team are looking for Ahab, Chris... others will recognize FriendFeed has played the part of the Wright Brothers. It's a new age. - Louis Gray

As evidenced by this conversation, eh Louis? I used to disagree with you on this. Now I feel like you've been on to this since forever, and I'm just now catching up to it. - Chris Brogan

The truth is, Chris, is that this isn't an either/or, although "battles" are more fun. The answer is simply, both. That Twitter has made themselves a laughingstock is frustrating, because when it does what it is supposed to, it can be very useful. - Louis Gray

Different kind of conversation. Need to be careful with follow. Smaller voices get drowned out. Unlike @ (and I do mean @) Twitter. @ reply feature is *powerful.* - Barbara K. Baker

It's Queequeg you want, mates! - Michael Tefft

I wonder, though, how this whole scatter of media makes it all work? Feels like too many rabbit holes here, or maybe that's the beauty? Feels like we can go all over the place, never really catching up to all the conversations. Non? - Chris Brogan

Chris, there's no one right answer. The power of aggregation is to have multiple conversations come in one place. The power of diversification is to have many separate conversations tailored for a specific crowd in more vertical places. The best bloggers and social media users will participate and engage where the best conversations are, and leverage search or other tools to be aware. Given the # of hours in a day is limited, how you use your time is up to you. - Louis Gray

Begging the question, when will Summize dig into FriendFeed? - Chris Brogan

I am seriously sick of the "what will kill X" conversations... - Jennifer Leggio

Me too. I wasn't saying it like that. I really meant the whale graphic, not the app. I'm a Twitter nerd. What can I say? - Chris Brogan

fwiw, twitter's back up again. shortest twitter outage ever. - Russell Holliman

Chris - That comment wasn't directed toward you. :) - Jennifer Leggio

Me think Robert Scoble is scared of the Great White Whale! Remember what happened last time? The Whale got his foot, and now he limps with a wooden stump. Oh Scoble where is thy Whale who swims the great vast internetz. - Igor The Troll

In my living room - I like television... in my car - I prefer radio. Just because I have a TV doesn't mean I don't want my radio to work in my car. Friend Feed is my TV - it's deeper, richer, requires more attention and time. Twitter is my radio - I'll sing along, drum on the wheel, but the static is getting annoying. It's time for them to up the signal. But meanwhile, FriendFeed/TV is rockin' it. - Lucretia Pruitt

I speak whale. Aeeeeeeeeewaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhooooooooooo. - Ryan Kuder

Ryan, well that was rude. There are women here, watch your language. :( - Bwana

Didn't Moby Dick kill Ahab and the rest of the crew (except for ol' call me Ishmael)? It's been a long time since I read it, I could be wrong. - Kirk Kittell

Stunning idea. - Michael Markman

There is a GAME there that day though, I'm doubting this...but.... - Erin Kotecki Vest

the powers-that-be here have said that a) the convention will go the full 4 days and b)... no comment ... When it comes to the Invesco rumor. I suspect he'll do it there - makes for bigger show - and to be honest? It's a gorgeous background compared to the beige interior of a convention center. - Lucretia Pruitt

All I know is these unorganized Democrats keep throwing my convention coverage plans up in the air. MAKE THEM STOP. Agenda. Location. DONE. NOW. I'm ok. Really. I'll be fine. I swear. Find my happy place. Find my happy place. - Erin Kotecki Vest

Preseason Broncos game? That can be moved. Trust me. Regular season, not so much, but a preseason game... yeah - Aaron Brazell

Um... huh? There's no Bronco game there that day http://www.tickco.com/schedule... -- according to the schedule, there's nothing at Invesco that day http://www.gotickets.com/venue... - Lucretia Pruitt

You guys need to READ the stuff I send. LOL - Erin Kotecki Vest

rofl - Aaron Brazell

He really blocked me. Bastard. :) - Aaron Brazell

so now if i reply to this, will scoble see it? - Allen Stern

done! :) but Scoble and I are friendfeed buddies already. :P - Rom Feria

Why is there so much Scoble talk on my FriendFeed today... - Ben Parr

I'll never beg for followers. I figure I'll either earn them or I won't. - Akiva Moskovitz

Allen - that's a good question. I assume he can't see this post because he blocked Aaron. - Hutch Carpenter

You are now entering a no-Scoble zone! - Vezquex இ

No Robert he setup a private email list guess who is on it? :) - Fred Grott

Alrighty, now you owe me an almond joy! <grin> - Cheryl Allin

every time scoble types a butterly flaps its wings somewhere in indonesia - Cee Bee

LOL @ 24 hour penalty. Why not call it time out? haha - Mona N.

I'm with Robert. Are you giving away a macbook air or something too? How about you create great content and wait for the fame instead ;P Calacanis is out of my penalty box...Brazell is IN! - Erin Kotecki Vest

Just look at how many comments and added followers Aaron has gained by begging for FF followers and getting blocked by Scoble. I'd say that's a gain by any stretch of the imagination. - Ben Parr

Scoble does have a point - but only because you actually posted 'beg' in all caps. But hey - if you wanna close the deal - you gotta at least remember to ask and have a call to axn. - Sonciary Honnoll

#suckit Kotecki! - Aaron Brazell

I really should start a tread having people block you for fun. lol - Erin Kotecki Vest

or a thread. whichever - Erin Kotecki Vest

Ferd, go away. And I don't follow Scoble either. ;) I may do it for a MacBook Air. This MBP is pretty heavy to lug around all the time. I'd like to try an SSD for a change. - Cyndy

I added you, and won't even block you for asking. I need to hunt down more FriendFeed friends too, especially with Twitter being a PITA lately. - Kelby

here is an easy way folks, hover over posted by friend of..click subscribe..75% add you after you do that :) sh..do not Tell Robert - Fred Grott

Instead of begging for followers, I usually just follow people I find interesting. They usually follow back - Shey

I'm not really sure whether to laugh, cry, or #suckit - Andrew Feinberg

We're laughing Andrew. It's all good. - Erin Kotecki Vest

And apparently, Scoble is leering at me from the Everyone tab. Hi Robert. :) - Aaron Brazell

Hah. I saw Scoble's post first, and I was ready to raise up with righteous indignation or something. :-p Tricksters. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

@Erin #suckit is hilarious. Thank you. - Ryan Kuder
