"On a bitterly cold December night, with the start of final exams just hours away, about 75 of Stephens' 766 undergraduates grudgingly piled their cell phones into collection baskets and filed into the school's candlelit chapel, where they did little but sit, silently. For an hour, not an iPod ear bud could be seen. There were no fingers flying on tiny computer keyboards, no chats with unseen intimates. Alexis Dornseif, a senior from suburban St. Louis majoring in fashion marketing and management, said she needed time away from her busy life. "Sometimes it's really overwhelming," she said. "It's good to have time to think, to not worry about what's going on tomorrow."" - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet

And then the school fenced the entire basket of cell phones to pay for a faculty retreat.... - Soup

Wouldn't teaching time management and discipline be more effective? - Mona Nomura

I don't think the point of the exercise related to either time management or discipline, Mona - Soup

What then, do you think the point of the exercise is, Soup? - Mona Nomura

I suspect it has more to do with mindfulness, contemplative states, and being able to simply Be. Similar to religious retreats during which talking is prohibited. - Soup

How does that differ from time management and discipline? In this day and age, electronics should not be confiscated for serenity; it's the individual's responsibility to be cognizant of their needs. Hence, discipline and time management. - Mona Nomura

"Building a great brand is therefore serious business, albeit a blend of art and science. Whatever your brand and its specific situation, the path to greatness remains the same and is almost entirely based on the way the brain stores, recalls, and processes memories. Considerable progress has been made in the last 15 years in this research field, to the great benefit of marketing and branding. In a nutshell, great branding starts with a rigorous assessment of your audience and of the brand positioning in the minds of those people. What beliefs pop up in their mind when they think about your brand and its category? What are the good and bad memories coming back to mind? In the case of a car make, for instance, people may remember that this was the automobile of their first kiss, but they may as well remember a tire recall. In the case of a law firm, memory may associate with a painful divorce and broken family, for example. As it transpires, a brand interferes with a considerable level... more... - Mark Davidson from Bookmarklet

Wow Mark, what an awesome explanation! That really ought to be in someone's textbook because what you have said is pretty much timeless. I like the Marlboro example too. BTW, are you familiar w. archetypes in brand story development? Do you think archetypes are still relevant today? Thanks! - Benin Brown from FreshFeed

That was one of the best articles I've read on branding and discusses a lot of what I write when I post about branding on Twitter. (Thoughts, feelings, emotions, associations, and anchors.) Good question about brand archetypes. Absolutely still relevant today. I don't see archetypes come up too much in posts these days but symbolism and metaphor will always be an important component of story telling. - Mark Davidson

Hi Mark, I just finished reading it. Its a wonderful article. I agree with you this article does a great job at shedding light on the delicate balance between the science and art of building great brands. 68 USD b for the Coca Cola brand is proof of the critical importance of branding/storytelling in marketing. The subtle difference that Grimaldi pointed out between Marlboro's audience... more... - Benin Brown

"Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

4 more comments

That's been my experience. And sugar is highly addictive. Very difficult to get off of and stay off of. I went low-glycemic for 3 years then fell off the wagon. I've gone low-glycemic again intermittently ever since. I'm having a very hard time making it stick as a permanent lifestyle choice. - Spidra Webster

I have been making an effort, lately, to eat healthily. I thought I ate healthily before, but I guess I didn't go far enough. I'm eating way more fiber and low glycemic index stuff, and... I feel great! It's really the feeling I'm surprised by, and it's fantastic. - Danielle Fong

All I had to hear was that sugar causes your body to age faster due to the increase in insulin and that was me cutting down a whoooole lot of sugar in my diet... a couple extra pounds I can handle, but getting old - hell no! :)) - Kim

mmmmm, sugar - Amit Patel

Thanks for the share Paul. A great video, I just added it to my favorites. - Garin Kilpatrick

no doubt about this we've been building Ecademy's subscription business since December 7th 2002 that's over 7 years. Ecademy begun in February 1998. That's 12 years. Trust takes time. This year we got to know Louis Gray and hired him as a Speaker in London. This relationship is emerging and will gently expand in 2010. Trust takes time. It's taken me almost 3 years to settle into Friendfeed. Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose. Why hurry trust? - Thomas Power

I agree, Thomas. Trust takes a long time to grow and an instant to kill. - Dawn

That, and selling things. - Cliff Gerrish from iPhone

In terms of iPhone apps -- MagicSleep. - Miss Elle

Well I'm, of course, going to say FriendFeed has had a good year - though the FB buy-out make a huge dent. If I think back to last year and what I wasn't using that I am now then Twitter had improved a lot, particularly with the Twitter Lists, which were long overdue. Chrome has become my default browser - I hardly touch Firefox and IE could easily be uninstalled if I could. - Kol Tregaskes

Google Wave was impressive but it needs some serious optimisation and made a lot easier to use. Hopefully next year we'll see some improvements introduced. Groups would be the biggest new feature for me. Facebook is getting used more but it needs a lot more FriendFeed-esque features. - Kol Tregaskes

A tie: Wordpress and Friendfeed. Just hope Friendfeed can stay cutting edge. - laosan

Snaptu. - अभिषेक(Abhishek) Das

Friendfeed and reddit seem to be doing well, with a clean and clear text interface... - TrafficBug

Web apps... Google Wave was a disappointment. Can't really say I have a use for it. Friendfeed had a great year and is my most used web app. Part of what has made friendfeed great for me has been AJ's clean widescreen theme and Micah's huge collection of Greasemonkey scripts. I don't think friendfeed would be quite as enjoyable without them. On the desktop...There is a small,... more... - April Russo (app103)

I still believe Google Wave is exactly what I need for project discussion, support or training that works live and over time and that can stay available through time as new people join in etc. Or a family network thing... Best elements of irc/chat with the best elements of forum/wiki - the potential is there but it was never meant to be a social network, but a work tool/platform. Alas getting the people I collaborate with on Wave will be another thing. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Reddit, news.yc, pinboard.in, and Grooveshark - Itachi

I see Google Wave as a new form of email, and your Google Wave address should be protected as much as you'd protect your email address (there are some privacy concerns with making it public) Wave would be great if the kind of email you send and receive would be improved by the extra functionality it provides, but most of the email correspondence I receive is just newsletters and alerts,... more... - April Russo (app103)

Bespin hands down. Integral component in replacing desktop apps. - Raphael, Raphael

I'm sure Google Wave will have better year next year. - Kol Tregaskes

I can't live without KatMouse now that I am used to it. - Matt G

Evernote is the biggest new app added to my stable in 2009. And I actually pay for the premium service. SHOCKING. - LANjackal

In the sense that it has helped me access many services in one and like those hits that appear by December and go straight to the top of the charts, I have to say, Google Chrome but with extensions. Believe me I am really sorry to accept this fact. I would prefer some top 5 or top 10 kind of poll :) - Carlos Lorenzo

Matt, what is KatMouse? - Kol Tregaskes

Google Chrome is not really new for me this year. It was virtually my default browser last year. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Same here. Can't surf without it. - Jeremy (on vacation)

For me, the best new app has been Launchy. By far. - Jeremy (on vacation)

Kol KatMouse isn't new but its new for me. Whatever your mouse is on you can scroll. ie you don't have to click on the box to scroll. Kicks arse. - Matt G

Sounds cool. - Kol Tregaskes

ehiti.de/katmouse/ - Matt G

Feedly, posterous, threadsy, and friendfeed, of course. - Michael Fidler

twilio is very cool. I have not use it yet but I like it. I will use - KeremTiryaki

threadsy, posterous, and seesmic (via web) most used. Wave is most impressive but have not been able to implement the way I want. I believe we haven't seen full potential yet. Next year fo-shur. Feedly is reader of choice and Lazyfeed is gaining to give me whats up. - amarquart

Seesmic Desktop is good but he latest version is way to buggy to use so I'm currently using TweetDeck but I'm only using either one (well at least a lot more) because of Twitter Lists. - Kol Tregaskes

Evernote Premium and Flickr Premium I still pay for so they must get a mention. But definitely Friendfeed and Twitter. - Mathew A. Koeneker

I would say Evernote, Dropbox , Feedly and of course Friendfeed. IN the past 3 months I have used the first 2 and just amazed at how I did work before. I am looking for Lazyfeed and posterous to be huge for me next year as I learn how to use them the best. For the iphone I say biteSMS, Cycorder and Pixelpipe have been big for me along with Shazaam. Also, cinch will be huge for me next year. - Amani

Bandcamp.com This site is a godsend to musicians and also very good for music fans (the latter because it offers a large choice of file formats to buy in and also makes it easy to embed music and share via social media). - Spidra Webster

It's not really a web-app (at least not how I use it), but at least a cloud-app: Evernote. It has definitely changed my life for the better. I have also been very impressed with the Mozilla Bespin demo I saw. - Meryn Stol

Google Wave - Pico Seno

Well on the iPhone: Tweetie, Yelp, Ustream Live Broadcaster, Pandora, Snapture, ShopSavvy, Remember The Milk, Shazam, RedLaser, Read It Later, Kinndle App from Amazon, Barns and Noble E-Reader, Kayak.com app, BNO, Bible app, and one of the newest apps I just found last night is a guide for the game FallOut 3. - Colide81 (James)

Online apps that I find I like are well ofcourse FriendFeed, Pandora.com, itunes, twitter, firefox, stumble upon the service and the toolbar, evernote, and much more. Also just to add one more thing to the list of my favorite iphone apps, I have started using eBay to check diferent auctions that I have been running to keep track of bidding prices, and questions bidders may ask me. I also love the Tumblr app. - Colide81 (James)

"Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for "practical wisdom" as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

barry's book the paradox of choice is worth reading as well. - karl dotter from iPhone

Thanks for the update Paul! ;) - Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ

Mainly just had problems with email posting and the bookmarklet. The rest seemed fairly okay. - Jason Huebel

I've been told that I'm extremely slow much of the time, but I don't think that's what you meant. Thanks for taking care of the issue, Paul. - Jim Addz No Value

Does seem very zippy, thanks team! - Stephen Mack

Time to time, it's slow. Overall fast (again), however. - Ozkan Altuner

I think the issues were directly related to Cristo's 11 MB PDF upload. - Louis Gray

Thank you, Paul! - Holly Rae

it looks faster now. thanks - Hakan İyice

I still see Twitter updates coming in here 10 -15 minutes later - Jorge Escobar

Thanks Paul. Much better. - Roberto Bonini

Im experiencing extreme slowness ,,,, but then again , Im 53 - johnpiercy

nice also to know your not Boarding up the Windows - johnpiercy

It did seem a little faster this afternoon. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

The Twitter issue is a separate problem Jorge -- our realtime feed from them is gone, but we hope to get it restored soon. - Paul Buchheit

The Twitter feed went entirely???? o_O - Roberto Bonini

It would be great if you could speed up importing of Twitter feeds. The slowness has been an issue for me lately. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Got it, Paul. Thanks! - Jorge Escobar

Nice to know that there is indeed a problem with Twitter importing being slow, and I'm not just going crazy. - Tyson Key

Awesome news! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Sweet - Josh Haley

Meanwhile, Dad's kids with his new wife get what kind of toys? - Matthew DeVries

Matthew, FriendFeed users have no reason to complain about our toys. And even if we did, bitterness doesn't help. - Bruce Lewis

FriendFeed is dying for me. In fact. it's just about gone. I use it as a control room and discussion space for my Twitter feed, and a searchable archive. Discussion threads are down about 80 percent. "Likes" are off about 90 percent. There's no real time feed in from Twitter any more. Sad. - Jay Rosen

Agreed, Jay. My personal life is in a bit of an upheaval right now, which hasn't helped, but the FB acquisition took the wind out of the sails for me. It feels like there's no future, or worse, a future wired up to the "friending" criteria of my Facebook account. I use the services COMPLETELY differently, however. Inbound updates continue, since they're automatic, but this is the first comment I've posted in weeks. Sad, indeed. - Ken Kennedy

+1 Jay - Daniel J. Pritchett

I am using Twitter and FB more and more lately. On the plus side, it's strengthening some real world connections. I'm missing out on the cool new stuff but I think I had gone overboard on that front. - Daniel J. Pritchett

I like FriendFeed, but I happen to find myself using Twitter and IRC more as of late. I guess I've probably just burnt myself and others out, given that I don't seem to have much in the way of compelling content and commentary these days, and that I just don't feel as motivated as I'd like to. :( - Tyson Key

Thanks - zizukabi

Thanks for the info and the update. - giuseppe c. | markgreene

Still seems to be some slowness. The Innovation Management Room (er...Group) hasn't updated for several hours: http://friendfeed.com/innovat... - Hutch Carpenter

Thanks for throwing some love over to FF :) - Susan Beebe

Is there currently an issue with posting from FF to update Facebook -or is Facebook broken after the re-design ? i dont get anything posted to FB anymore which worked fine before yd - Del_

Hi Paul, I know it has been a while since this post. But over the last 48 hours my Twitter updates have quit showing up in FF. I tried manually refreshing. Then I removed the account so I could just add it back in. When trying to do that I get the following message: "We could not find the given account" I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I haven't had any trouble until now. Thanks. - Mary-Lynn

My Twitter feed is coming into FF much faster now - thanks! *Edit - Blog feed, too! - Kurt Starnes

Ah, yes, search is much faster now. Thank you. - April Russo (app103)

I love this. - Nicholas Kreidberg

I like how everything is clear and readable except the email address. - Alex Scrivener

LOL That's funny, but yeah...what's with the email address being so small? - Admiral Anika

At any rate, I had a video I made with all my info on it. I accidentally took it off my chip, but I'm positive I copied it to my camera. Unfortunately, I don't know how to access my camera's memory and the cord has been lost. One of these days, I'll RTFM. =) - Admiral Anika

that was great.......lol - VAL D. Zone

genius. - Morgan Haley

I like how the facial expressions match the whiteboard :-) - Rene Wirtz

lol that was awesome as hell. I'm definitely planning to do it. - Bora Mesut PALAS

I'd just leave only one pic with my email - Itachi

The other pics build empathy, encouraging a border-line thief to return the camera. Otherwise you may as well stick a label on the case and be done with it. - Alex Scrivener

Does anyone else want to make out with this guy for being SO DAMN AWESOME? Srsly, total panty-dropper this one was. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

@tinypants I totally agree! - vicster is...

God. That really *was* awesome. Anyone hesitating, go on, click the blue arrow so you can read the whole thing XD - Kamilah Gill

this is win. - Colette

cute - Burçak Çubukçu

he's sweet, but it won't work - topo

this would make an amazing ad : ) - liladreams

wow, this is very close to being the most popular thing I have ever posted to Friendfeed. Just goes to show, um, something. Always use pictures? - Alex Scrivener

took 25 of em ;) - Itachi

ALWAYS use pictures. I try to include a picture with every post. Otherwise, people just pass the post by. It's always been that way. - Jason Huebel

Yes, Always use pictures! For one thing, I might sketch your stuff one day! Also yes, it helps your posts stand out. - Kamilah Gill

Awesome! - Josh Haley

I'm the opposite. I tend to ignore posts with photos (unless the post itself is just a photo). Why? The image usually detracts from the text and people spend time talking about the picture and making it clear they didn't bother to read the text or link. - Admiral Anika

=/ (not about the original post. I already expressed how much I love it) - Kamilah Gill

:) - winckel

Or you could just put an address sticker on the camera... - Alix Whitmire

No, the pictures try to build an emotional connection with the finder. It helps convince a not-so-honest person to return the camera rather than just keep it. It won't stop a real thief, but it could tip the odds in his favor. A sticker can't do that. - Alex Scrivener

There should be a place in your camera for email address, like cell phones have "Home" so when you lose it, someone can call you. Hmmmm. - anna sauce

Brilliant! :D - Carmen - Happy 2010!

I wouldn't ever think to go through pics, but if I found a lost cam (or phone or whatever) with an address clearly visible on it, I'd pop it in the mail, or call/email someone, no problem. Same holds true for some lost and found places. They might call you if there's easy contact info, but I don't see them taking the time to flip through photos to figure out how. Maybe do both? - Alix Whitmire

Creative! - Mehmet Ali Akyol

lol - echostreamer

LoL ! - ★ Soner Gönül

So good! - Micah Wittman

That's a great idea ! i'm just sad you didn't show it before i left my camera somewhere ... T_T - Duff

that's genius. now all I need is the camera - JSLeFanu

Very Good! - John D Reasor

Note to Lois - I'm not getting you one. :P - LAMB

Ties in quite nicely with my views on the matter too. - Mark H

Hi, Alex! Thanks for liking this one! :) - LAMB

Well put! - laura x

Well, Mizz Thang, you asked what I wanted ... :PPPPPPP - Lois Martin

Yes, and you didn't tell me that you wanted a Keurig! :P - LAMB

But I'm telling you now. - Lois Martin

PayPal sucks, period. - HansVanRock

Anyone who thinks that Twitter makes you smarter must be really dumb to begin with. If your cup is empty... - Alex Scoble

anything will fill it. - Alex Scoble

you can't fix stupid - johnpiercy

you make something idiot proof , the world makes a better idiot ! - Peter Dawson

If you want to get smarter, go back to Google Reader where all the content is. - Keith Rowland

Keith: sorry, that's wrong. All the content in Google Reader that I was getting out of reading 800+ feeds is in Twitter but in Twitter in a better format. - Robert Scoble

Alex: interesting, but you're wrong, again. But have fun! - Robert Scoble

Maybe you should have narrowed your 800+ feeds to 50. I don't see how 140 characters can be better than reading the entire article. - Keith Rowland

Keith:140 characters is enough to catch the main idea&content of the entire article.If interested, you can go to read the full article .And,Twitter provides this in it's format...I think Robert is right...Thank You.... - Dedegi

I'm not wrong though, that's what's so funny. There's no content on Twitter. How do I know this? Because you can't deliver content in 140 character bytes. It's...Just...Not...Possible. In other words, you are using Twitter as a postcard service to point you to other smart bits on the web, but it's so inefficient at doing this, versus friendfeed, that you are actually getting dumber by using it. There's no way for you to win this argument since the service is so flawed. - Alex Scoble

+++Alex - Jeff P. Henderson

WRONG, DEAD and LAME... WHY DON'T YOU REALISE HOW JUST TOTALLY AWESOME ROBERT IS... He's like the Vizzini of Social Media... - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Inconceivable. - Mark H

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. - Jeremy (on vacation)

Alex: I respect your views.Personally, I index Twitter for my taste.If I find any bit of info related to my interests I go deeper.That's all.Simple but affective.And thank you all for this decent,and respectfull conversations taking place here .I rarely see this kind of qualified atmosphere on the web...Thank you&Best Wishes... - Dedegi

I see that you today have favourited your employer´s promotional page about who your biggest happy customers are, except that Twitter elsewhere today is filled with tweets about your employer´s service being down today, support unreachable, and people leaving it. In some ways one could say that your Twitter favourites actually does the opposite of making me smarter. And much of the news... more... - Thomas Bøhm

Sorry for holding you responsible for your employer´s actions, you are of course not, but I just felt you sort of asked for it with this post today. Anyway, carry on with the Alex vs Robert stuff. It´s awesome :) - Thomas Bøhm

hello Alex & Merry Christmas everyone..what a day.. - Pam Gwenzi

Oy vey. I still rely on Yelp but it's not nearly as valuable as it once was once it was overrun by barely-literate whiners who don't know how to write reviews (and, also, shills). - Akiva Moskovitz
