@frandallfarmer I 1st read Watchmen 20+ years back & many times since. It helped form a chunk of my world view. I am…nervous. Scared. in reply to frandallfarmer #
@davemcclure I followback a falling fraction. Are they interested or interesting? I follow the interested: more signal, more focus & use. in reply to davemcclure #

@venturehacks Printers are xlation devices & there are ALWAYS losses in xlation. Multi-func printers offer more xlations and are so worse. in reply to venturehacks #
As Google demonstrates, security is trust: trust in others and trust in the network of trust: http://bit.ly/jgoW3 #

@boydscott (I think) pointed me at this neat collection of stop motion animation. Some excellent works. http://bit.ly/QqHRn #
An odd challenge with Twitter: My primary interest is professional, primary activity is personal. This discord must be resolved. Identity! #
@toddbert Yeah, thought abt split accs. Such a bother! Temptation is integrated view. Unsure how that fits with proffessional self-mktg. in reply to toddbert #
You called regarding a quick? Plone consulting gig in SF. I’ll be up that way anyways. maybe I can help, but I can’t if you don’t email… #
Much of yesterday was thinking about exit strategies for startups. These women’s exit strategy is far better: to LIVE! http://bit.ly/LlJxs #
RT @planetmoney: Interesting to see how easily British say “deflation.” + “printing money” /lc http://tinyurl.com/acvs7q #
Crowd-source musical notes at a time, then assemble (via @timoreilly): http://bit.ly/StKB #
Best general journalism article to date on Twitter. They get it ~all, but not (yet) why its more formal than Facebook: http://bit.ly/NqgM #
Common wisdom write large for shared endeavour, esp startups but also author/publisher relationships etc: (@hnshah) http://bit.ly/5Qfgx #
Ooops, bad URL on that last. My bad. Fixed: http://bit.ly/5Qfg #
@ingredientx Time’s arrow is full of fruit flies that couldn’t find the banana. in reply to ingredientx #
@toddbert In which one do you put more professional foot forward and why the character diff? There’s sharp contrast btw Twitter and FB. in reply to toddbert #
@toddbert I see more work, real work, done in Twitter than FB. I wanna know why given their diffs and yet strong similarities. in reply to toddbert #
@toddbert In short: coordination. eg @timoreilly @davemcclure @eWords @planetmoney Allows synch in field built on the meta-conversation. in reply to toddbert #
@toddbert A comp is the bkgrnd conv buzz in a startup. Knowing what e/one is saying/doing/thinking is key to good coordination and focus. in reply to toddbert #
@toddbert Agreed, a msging platform w/ extreme timeliness SLAs & public broadcast. Sorta meta-Usenet built on pers filters. That’s different in reply to toddbert #
Why are all the women in the dating-for-over-40s ads on FB clearly in their 20’s and surgically ballooned? Doh! Massage parlor anyone? #
@raphkoster Gimme a shout if you want a hand with TweetDeck. in reply to raphkoster #
@raphkoster Twiter is more to blame for that than TweeDeck – users have to manage their API call rates manually due to Twitter failings. in reply to raphkoster #
@raphkoster You’re err, lucky then. I regularly hit the limit with several diff desktop apps and the two clients on my iPhone. Annoying! in reply to raphkoster #
@raphkoster Might be useful. http://bit.ly/13rmog ION I’ve found Twirl to be pretty feature-eqiv to Tweetdeck, but smaller real-estate. in reply to raphkoster #
@toddbert http://bit.ly/7xwSa in reply to toddbert #
@hnshah Raw cranky-but-clever APIs are often at raw cranky bleeding frontiers. We love that edgy stuff. #
RT @Veronica: Dog Armor: Because your pit bull isn’t intimidating OR medieval enough! http://bit.ly/lDJRV #
@davemcclure I rarely read Subject: s. The biggies are FROM, THREAD (controlled by References: and In-Reply-To:) and key words. in reply to davemcclure #
@shanselman You can’t, not as a CSS background. You’ll need a foreground element you can hang an AREF or JS/DOM link off. #lazyweb #xhtml in reply to shanselman #
@toddbert Think of Twitter as a conv with a stochastic sample of an undefined crowd. It isn’t 1:1, it is 1:many which degrades to 1:1. in reply to toddbert #
@robconery Table cells can’t be AREF links either. #lazyweb #xhtml in reply to robconery #
RT @timoreilly: Introduced to the music of Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou by @mearabai http://bit.ly/DqrVI (excellent stuff) #
