How do I check that the fee is gone on my account?

Yes. Definitely interesting so far. Can't wait to see where they're
going to go with it.

Re: Scribkin’s WordPress Plugins - Let Me Show You Them

eng1ne — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:45:42 -0000

I actually wrote this post over a year ago (5-17-08 to be precise) so the site has undergone many changes since then. Onle of the last changes I made was to go with a very light theme with no CSS so that people could choose their own font via their browser preference.

However, that doesn't mean I'm not using *any* plugins now.. In fact, I currently have 33 active plugins, including: Add to Any, Akismet, All In One SEO, Disqus and more.

Hm, I could probably stand to get rid of some of the older ones, though.

Looking forward to extended TweetDeck mania next week - of a positive variety. Like many others, I've been trying to get the iPhone app throughout the day, and hope to see it soon. Want me to drive over to Apple HQ and give a little knock on the front door? :)

Persistence seemed to pay off very nicely for you Chad. Thanks for sharing some of the steps you took for those who have had questions on how to get back in once you're out.

Do you care about them now? Have you started creating your own?

You have some great lists Antonella. I wish I had time to follow them all

The plan is great but the phones that it works on are very disappointing.
Sure I have unlimited data but it's difficult to use. I doubt my plan is the
reason Sprint is in trouble; it was only available for a small period of
time to people referred by a Sprint employee. If it were a problem they'd
have no issue with me dropping my contract (or they would have done it for
me already).

Re: Twitter Lists Make Twitter Dangerous to Use | Mark.

My argument centers around the lists showing up on my profile without my consent, not that people are talking about me without my consent. Remove the lists from being attached to me (via my profile), and there is not much of an issue: @replies and blog lists are attached to the people who created them, not the person they're about. My profile, on any service, should be my domain alone.

Martin, glad to hear you like Google Reader. I also know Feedly well,
and enjoy that product. I was the first ever to write about Feedly,
and have covered the service several times since its launch last June.

Hi, Robert! I think your lists are great. One step at a time. You

Re: The intent/purpose problem (& an appeal to @scobleizer)

BlueCockatoo — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:31:29 -0000

I get your point about Tweetups and don't deny that conversation and connections are possible on Twitter, just that they are a lot more difficult to participate in, IMO. You can barely complete a thought in 140 characters (or less if it's an @reply or DM). To have a conversation is slow, confusing and disconnected... It's a very masochistic way to try to build relationships with people. That doesn't stop people from trying and succeeding in a lot of circumstances. I would guess that a lot of the people who connect via Twitter actually build that relationship via other more accommodating tools like blog comments or email or they are forced to resort to physical meetups like Tweetups to get to know people better. I would imagine (in my inexperience) that most Tweetups are more like a convention where everyone is meeting everyone else, but when I've meet with my FriendFeed friends it's more like we're just old friends getting together.

*blush* Thanks, Micah! Glad you enjoyed it. I just wanted to say my peace on the whole "FF is dead" thing. It's kind of funny that the only time I seem to post to my blog anymore is when I'm really excited or pretty pissed off. HAH! I'd rather just spend time on FriendFeed where the conversation is.

Re: Sorry FriendFeed, But I Agree With Robert Scoble

Definitely a concern as well. I think interaction has decreased since the Facebook announcement, but it's been downhill since before then.

Re: Sorry FriendFeed, But I Agree With Robert Scoble

shey — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:12:25 -0000

You're absolutely right Shevonne, I think the lack of diversity is a contributor, not necessarily the root of the problem.

Scoble and I use the site for different purposes and objectives, so we expect different things out of it.

Thanks :)

Scoble has a lot to answer for in his own behaviour. I'm not agreeing with his behaviour, just his sentiment about chatroom/forum problem

Jay, you are not the first to mention that bluetooth out works with the 3.1 release. I got that feedback on FriendFeed and via Google Reader as well.

Re: It Just Might Be the Droid You Are Looking For

Thanks, Cole. The Droid is the first Android device that I have been impressed with. I don't think it will be the last.

I can't speak officially for Google, but assume they may have a licensing agreement for the OS or apps to each mobile carrier? Maybe I should Google it. :)
