I was just reading Louis Gray's post about being a real friend to your social networking friends. Robert Scales, Raincity Studios' CEO gave me keys to his house.
Even better, he's not even here. I barely know Scales. How many would give me keys to their house without getting to know me better?
- Robert Scoble
That is a good friend! :) But out of the thousands you interact with Robert - how do you define friend?
- Lucretia Pruitt
Lucretia: anyone who gives me keys to their house is definitely a friend. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I'd be happy with just the whiskey :D

I used to go out swing dancing quite a bit. 6-7 days/week. Especially back when I lived in Chicago. The dance community is a lot like what Louis described in his post and what you're experiencing with Robert Scales and his house, Robert. I've stayed in many strangers' homes and they are now counted in my bajigglion friends' lists. :-)

And now that I think about it, the dance community is one reason I moved to the Bay Area. I knew that even if I only personally knew 1 or 2 dancers, I actually had a ready-made community to rely on during a move since we all had dance as that common ground.

Robert, I would do you a favor and refuse you entry; my place is a dump of a hovel!

Can anyone guess how many hard drives they make every week? It's an astounding number. They told us that we were first US bloggers to tour the fab where they make 2.5-inch drives for laptops and automobiles.
- Robert Scoble
over 18 per second!? Wow, now i do want to see that footage :)
- Simon Wicks
Simon: well, let's say they make more than a million a week. Divide that by the number of seconds in a week. Let's just say they make a LOT of drives. More than 10,000 people work at this plant, too.
- Robert Scoble
can i get that in writing? :) Just joshin' chief

@Zee: This means one more checkmark for your life goals ;)

hey welcome back to the online world - how was the trip?
- Web2Asia
genieyclo: this factory doesn't, but Seagate is working on flash-related storage devices, or at minimum, ones that combine flash with hard drive storage.
- Robert Scoble
George: we'll be on this trip until the 18th. So far it's going very well. Got a lot more video that I expected already. Seagate gave us complete access to its fab, which was really over the top.
- Robert Scoble
Is that the same amount of storage produced per week, or do they change it up depending on sales everywhere? I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with just how many drives that is. Amazed.
- Simon Wicks
Simon: they adjust the lines to respond to customer demand. So, yes, that can go up and down. It is totally amazing. I saw thousands of drives be built today. How many petabytes? I have no idea, but many of the drives were 500 gigabyte models.
