Just throw it in my Netflix queue and when it gets to me, it gets to me. If I'm in a hurry to see something, I'll see it in theatres. This idea seems more likely to encourage piracy than anything else.faithx5Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:44:46 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/10/24/the-biggest-difference-between-twitter-and-facebook/#comment-20948136That's not true. I'm far from a celebrity, and while I get more interaction on Friendfeed (because I'm more active there), it's not that difficult to get good interaction on Twitter. Maybe if you didn't change your account so often and made it easier for people to find and follow you (and followed more people yourself), you wouldn't find it useless. If you'd prefer to use it like an RSS reader, that's fine, but don't make it sound like Twitter's fault that you don't find interaction there.faithx5Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:30:35 -0000http://scobleizer.com/2009/10/24/the-biggest-difference-between-twitter-and-facebook/#comment-20940340Wait, hold on - I've been able to see other people's comments on my friends' FB items since comments came out. That's not new is it? Also, what would the alternative be? Hide their comments and show just my friends' comments? But that would lead to lots of out-of-context comments as friends respond to non-friends in the comment stream (kind of like when you have someone blocked on FF, I guess)...how would that be better?<br><br>The thing that would finally make Facebook more useful for me is enabling discovery. It's very difficult to find new people or content on Facebook - showing other people's comments on my friends' items seems obvious to me. When are they going to show me items from non-friends that friends comment on? It seems that everyone's concerned about getting less content. I want more content, or at least the option to get more content when I want it. Things that are more limited (and limited by people who are not me) are not more valuable to me.faithx5Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:05:55 -0000http://frame.the-frame.com/2009/09/21/hippie-hippie-shake-preview-screening/#comment-19835884Thanks for the comment!

I'm not sure I wholly agree anyway, because a lot of writing that's still worthwhile is kind of mundane during the writing process itself. But I liked the quote.faithx5Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:52:43 -0000http://www.the-frame.com/blog/2009/09/24/fall-tv-is-upon-us-again/#comment-17357970Oh, no worries!

Crossovers work for spinoffs because they allow characters who used to be on the same show to reconnect. With unconnected shows, it seems so much like fanfic to me. I haven't watched Lie to Me at all, though, so I can't comment on whether it would work with Bones. It might work with some shows that are similar in tone, but I think it would still seem gimmicky.faithx5Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:54:11 -0000http://www.jonathan-hardesty.com/2009/08/11/on-crossovers-hint-theyre-bad/#comment-14699219Buffy/Angel crossovers worked decently. Though, okay, yeah, they still seemed contrived most of the time. (Aside from the Faith redemption arc, which was awesome, but basically only Faith crossed over.) Crossovers for unrelated shows? I gotta think that's a bad idea.faithx5Wed, 12 Aug 2009 02:14:51 -0000http://morepop.rowthree.com/2009/07/yeah-yeah-yeahs-replace-b-boys-at-lolla/#comment-13088719I was very excited to hear this. :) I'm not a fan of the Beastie Boys, and I'm becoming a big fan of the YYYs.

Looking at the Movies tab doesn't list anything that came out in the past couple of weeks, and I just searched for Public Enemies directly, and it just spins and won't find theatres. If I look at the theatres tab and pull up a major multiplex near me, it says it hasn't reported showtimes since like June 27th (not true, because Flixster pulled it up immediately). Anyone else have this issue?faithx5Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:40:23 -0000http://morepop.rowthree.com/2009/01/online-music-and-book-logging/#comment-12174431Main differences between last.fm and Pandora:<br><br>1) Last.fm is built around tracking the music you listen to on your computer or iPod and building your musical profile around that. Pandora has no equivalent.<br><br>2) Pandora is a radio station site first, a social/info site second. Last.fm is the opposite.<br><br>3) Pandora builds its stations by using a musical similarity algorithm - if you add a song to a station, it will add other songs based on how similar they are in musical tone, structure, instrumentation, vocals, etc. Last.fm builds its stations based on aggregated listener data. If you start a station with a song or artist, it will figure out what you're likely to enjoy based on what other people who like that song or artist like.<br><br>I generally tend to find that Pandora is better at finding music I don't know about but like, and last.fm is better at everything else. So I tend to only use Pandora when I'm in music-discovery mode.faithx5Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:42:02 -0000http://joffi.tumblr.com/post/132087626#comment-11936281You has a point.

Tangible loss. If you steal music by downloading, there's no tangible loss. There's potential loss of a purchase that you may or may not have made, as well as potential gain of purchases that you may make in the future (I've spent way more money on concerts and CDs of bands I found out about by downloading than I ever did before I started downloading).faithx5Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:08:25 -0000http://joffi.tumblr.com/post/124420175#comment-11022317Awwww.
