Maybe try putting the phone in a bag of rice for over night (try not to open the bag up during this time). It might--just might work. I dropped my phone in a bucket of water and this trick worked for me.

[Tablet PC List]: OK - who on Twitter has made a list of Tablet PC people that I can follow? Warner? Rob? Loren? Lora? Anyone? Don't make me make this list ;)
Thanks, we're having lots of fun except for getting woken up after three hours of sleep. :-)

Beautiful , thank goodness for photography ,, more special moments to come .. congrats robert and family

that is one very alert kid Robert. Congrats again.

Just awesome, Robert! Do you have some stats? Weight? Length? Give my best to your wife :)

Oh and I don't see an iPhone in those little hands yet :)

Robert: 7 lbs 13 oz. Born at 11:32 pm. on Sept 19, 2009. 20.5 inches long.
- Robert Scoble
He's adorable. Also I notice Sequoia Hospital puts their name on the onesie. Thats smart; just a bit of free marketing, in everyone's new baby photos.

Gratz Robert, and welcome to the world Ryan!

Welcome to the our small world Ryan "happiness" Scoble!

what method does tornado use to pull updates that it pushes realtime?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Wave is XMPP based... hence my earlier question RE how he'd tie XMPP into Tornado... where he sees the intergration points and overlap.
- Ken Sheppardson
I'd love to know when noreply and donotreply goes away from Facebook notification emails.
- Jay Cuthrell
Mochiweb (Erlang web framework) has some pretty easy to use support for long-polling too. Use it at http://replies.twitterfall.com for the streaming API there. I think Facebook use it for chat? (guess)
- Jalada
Agreed Steve.......This is now officially WAY over my head.... ;-)
- Mike Kelly
So, Bret... any plans for a near-term Tornado meetup?
- Ken Sheppardson
Has there been any discussion on any top line scaling metrics they are shooting for now? i.e. transcations per second, etc.
- Jay Cuthrell
Thursdays between 1 - 2pm SFO likes to fly jets over the NGL studios! We must have a talk about this
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Listening to this is so very interesting if you remember things like "ATG Dynamo" and the personalization wave of the .com days
- Jay Cuthrell
Can anyone ask Bret if Friendfeed plans to open source more of their code. Would love to see how Friendfeed handles the aggregation of all the user feeds.
- arjo
Yeah I know about that, unless I'm mistaken it doesn't have the newsgang live from tue 09/08
- Michael Breslin
I've only been recording episodes of the Gillmor Gang so unless someone else has recorded NewGang you will have to wait until Steve puts it on YouTube

I guess they don't care about about Louisiana politicians in the same way they didn't care about Katrina victims.
- Warner Crocker
I think they forget that there are intelligent, well-spoken, mature Republicans out there. Louisiana politics is, and has always been, a mess.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
Yep, seriously! I agree with the person in the story who said this church must be a cult!
- ursi
Let 'em hate. Let 'em go, If all these 'haters' hate it so much. Just leave. Take them off the tax rolls (Including the tax free rolls I'm sure the church is on) and not allow them to use any government services, period. Policing that is bound to be cheaper than trying to play referee in among the brawls we now have.
- Warner Crocker
the concept that reality can be a "wedge issue" is powerful. But even scarier is the idea that fact-checking a politician has come to mean "taking sides."
- Stephen Winkler
I'm also sick of how the people who have been wrong about everything for the last 8 years are taken at face value when they come up with new things that they make absolute statements about what will and won't work. Taking your track record into account, I'll bet the "under" all the way.
I love that Bret, Paul, and Kevin checked in. They probably are looking at their screens and asking "what do we do now?" how about ship some new features before Facebook overlords take you off to do bigger things?

I feel sorry for all you addicts. My use of it is purely social.
- Bruce Lewis
I do like FF and use it almost every day. Wouldn't it be great if FB either left it alone so we can continue to use it as "professionals," or somehow incorporate it into a more "mature" version of FB that didn't have all the annoying, time-wasting apps, games, etc. I'd much prefer a totally customizable FF "wall."

- Claude LaFrenière
Why should I? Whats in it for me? You doing some sort of survey of people to send out the police to do a "Safety Check" on when the site is shutdown?
- Santa CW™
here. anecdote: a friend of mine just signed up for FF this evening. apparently the FriendFeed hype of the last 24 hours pushed him over the top. leaves me wondering whether FF has actually gained users today?it would be a crafty way of marketing the service. I'll wake up tomorrow to discover that there was a problem with the paperwork and the FriendFeed team have had a change of heart.
- JSLeFanu

Count me in even though I was just starting to get hooked. I guess it's time to find a rehab and get all sobered up until the next relapse with some other new addiction. Isn't life grand?

++Jay. I was going to do the same thing yesterday but I didn't want to pay the money.
- David Cook
David -- this was a $9.95 session but you can get them for $7.95 and there are also 25% off coupons if you do online check-in prior to your Delta flight. That's an incentive for folks to use that service and offload kiosk use at the terminals. Very savvy marketing by the folks at GoGo and Delta combined.
- Jay Cuthrell
well, it's 12:12 a.m. and I'm perusing FF from my iPhone via BuddyFeed before turning in. so yeah, I guess I count. "Here!" (raises hand)
- Don Faulkner
from BuddyFeed
I recommend FF to some of my clients, and there are some companies and nonprofits with presences here—not like Twitter, but I'll be curious how that will be affected when FB takes over more. Most have FB fan pages, groups and/or causes, too.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
Yeah, me too. I just saw the request to have a comment link at the bottom of the comments from one of your friends just yesterday and here it is. I'd say they are listening. Thanks FF.

Hi, I'm Bette... I don't know if I'm an addict, but I can't stay away... I keep checking, just to see if something's new... and I cry if I get no responses to a post. Is that addictive behavior? :D
- Bette Cooper
Yup, I have blocked all the impersonators now. You will still see them, but I don't see them and they no longer can comment on any of my items.
- Robert Scoble
@scobleizer As far as I can see you have blocked not only the impersonators (who renamed themselves back the moment they found out you have a problem with this) but most of the folks who chatted there.
- Махатма Бугоганди
@meatreach yes, see next thread. Scobble becomes anti-Russian.
- Never Impersonate You
Maxatma: well, that's just too bad. I speak English. Sorry. People who don't speak English really don't have any business commenting on one of my items, except in rare cases.
- Robert Scoble
Why you, Robert Scoble, don't block users from Spain or Italy? China or arabic countries? Those users that comments on non-English languages?
- Never Impersonate You
@Robert, in fact they do speak English. But they also do make fun of Friendfeed and everything that's going on there. You can block them or take part in this fun. ;)
- Махатма Бугоганди
I prefer FF over twitter and facebook, but all my friends are on twitter and/or facebook. Maybe facebook will get it right this time now that it has acquired FF. If they simplify it a bit more without removing functionality. Then I would spend a bit more time on FB. Lets hope all goes well with the merger. If not I'm jumping ship and going over to Google Wave. oh wait, I'm going to go with Google Wave regardless! ;-)

@scobleizer i can speak english and i beg you to remove bann from all russian friendfeeders, because we are all from it-community, working in internet companies and we came with peace, you asked for feedback from friendfeed addicts — we show you how really it is being frf addicts, we change names, we chat, we making things that are not serious. Why so serious? Unlock people, they are not bots, they just playing the game of real addicts and have fun. Common.
- ideali
shaun: I started this post to demonstrate that a lot of us are still here and aren't likely to leave. At least not quickly. So, life goes on after FriendFeed gets acquired by Facebook. Point proved.

@robert yes they (we will) stay here, I think tat the migration process will take time and after reading @Paul Bucheit, I think that what we all are trying to get even if we don't say it explicitly is to preserve a kind of intimacy (beeing a part of the Huge faceBook community) don't mean that FF community will preserve their intimacy, why should a community be a plan one, (let imagine a community as a set of sub-community) that all.
- abdellah
Wow!! So many likes and comments; is it a record Rob?

@scobleizer thank you, for understanding. be cool, guys we just want have fun here a little. Take care.
- ideali
@Robert RE "I have enough noise in my life. I don't need to have more" - isn't it a lot of noise having 26K subscriptions and 46K subscribers on your frf account? I'm kind of surprised - you create a community that large around yourself, yet when you see a new and unusual activity you just block it right away.
- Махатма Бугоганди
@Robert, patience? Who's talking about patience? It's about curiosity, not patience. When something strange and unusual happens around you, you can either try to stop it or try to see what it can develop into. You choose to stop - and it stopped. Well, not stopped - just moved to some other place. And do you really know what it was and what it was about to bring you?

I'm sure this is part of Scoble's plot to poll all the people who really read his posts, and unfollow the rest. So I raise my hand.
- Shivanand Velmurugan
Just a wannabe. Not an addict (yet).
- Carole Hicks
It might also be a way for me to filter down my "following" count (diff (my followers, scoble)) are the only people I really need to follow. Those that scoble follows, I can safely unfollow and use Scoble as my social media filter :)

Well, here's a comment I can later delete and rob the owner of 1500!
- Matthew DeVries
I just mention the 1500 mark since it was such an iconic query to see... that and the 500 Likes club of FF posts. It's pretty exclusive stuff... but it's also sobering to note that the subject matter required to get to these levels isn't always a uniform mix of cares/concerns.

New here, but learning. Tips for best use?
- Barbara Langham
@bdlangam From my perspective the #1 tip in this category is: Explore and define "best use" for yourself. Despite potential "finishing" impression of some productive consolidations in this collective-collaborative cognition space, the emergent #cognosphere is still WAY too nascent to assert anything other than initial impressions. March to the beat of your own drum; build your own...

Freaking out is too strong. How about "Unable to see how this makes any aspect of my user experience better."
- Dave Slusher
Regardless of whether or not this is good or bad for anybody, whenever anyone says "this is business" or "it's only business" it is just a convenient way of disavowing and/or denying any human motivation to whatever the "business" part is. Business is people, except when people hide behind the term business.
- Warner Crocker
Where I end up is feeling sharecropped. I've been spending my energy creating the value that gets monetized by a company. Their reward: cashout. My reward: a tool I spent energy to integrate in my life disappears. This is exactly what happened when Twitter bought I Want Sandy. If the same happens here, see my heart harden to new services. I'm tired of being milked.

The ustream broadcaster and qik on a jailbroken iPhone works well if you want to do that sort of thing.
- Rodfather
@Rodfather - where can you get the ustream broadcaster? Cydia? I thought it got pulled.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I just searched for it on Cydia and it's still there..
- Rodfather
got it. thanks! UPDATE: ustream app chokes when I try to login on my jb 3G :( does it work for you @Rodfather?
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I don't use Upstream, but that's pretty lame indeed, unless they are just trying to ease their way into the app store
- Walt Ruppar
from iPhone
I won't bother installing based on the comments. However, I did get the ustream.tv "viewing" app the other day and, at least on my the 3GS, it won't play video... only audio (I'm not alone based on the reviews). So double fail!
- Herb Hernandez
Weird. I restored and jailbroke again since Cydia was corrupted somehow by conflicting with ICY. I couldn't find the broadcaster anymore. Found out you have to add 1999.ustream.tv as one of the sources. http://getsatisfaction.com/ustream...
- Rodfather
Brian, it works fine on my 1st gen iPhone. I tested recording a video to ustream and it showed up fine.
- Rodfather
If CNET is right http://news.cnet.com/8301-27... and the Twitter attack targeted one user, what is it about Twitter that makes the entire service vulnerable to an action like that?
correct me if I am wrong but I say this makes no sense @markng @jayrosen_nyu because the entire of the internet is. You can't discriminate against a particular user on a service using a DoS or DDoS attck
- Jay Rosen
I'm not buying this, but then what the hell do I know.
- Warner Crocker
Attackers do sometimes have bizarre motives. Anger over the removal amid acrimony of a single Internet Relay Chat partition on a single server, for example. If the cost to the attacker(s?) is low, and the out-of-pocket is often close to $0, and if they believe the risk of prosecution is low, then the motive may be and has in the past been as trivial and petty as human motives can become.

Twitter's got real growing pain problems (and probably serious lack of talent & foresight). Luckily FriendFeed is powered by a sharp team with experience at Google. It's one thing to make a "shack in the woods". Another to make an Empire State Building. One of my early projects in 1988 was making a computer system to manage $5 billion in accounts. God forbid we lose any transactions......
