Re: Techmeme vs. Twitter lists?

Your lists are nice but Google Reader is better. One, I curate it myself. Two, I get the full content not just a link to a new place. Three, I spend levels of magnitude of time more than you away from the news flow, I do not need _all_ of the stories that lead up to the most recent state of the world/tech/art/etc. Four, list are nice in that i do not have to follow the noisy broadcast accounts in my twitter stream and can reserve following for people that matter.

you know, i hardly see plumbers getting all weepy about their tools, perhaps those "gun-lovers" have some sort of fetish hang up that is the result of not having a job here they actually need to use guns as a tool. Maybe they are stuck at "playing with guns" as a toy phase of their development.

funnily enough, having this story develop over and over provides for a greater number of references in the media to calling James Anderson a 'pussy'.

Re: Twitter’s platform shortcomings

n8k99 — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:39:15 -0000

There are a couple of different themes which seem to be highlighted within this post. First, is that we are increasingly dedicating our computer usage locally to accessing data that is stored elsewhere by someone else. Perhaps someone might be inclined to see the issues you have pointed out as reasons to criticize these practices, however I think you are right in that when we put data on the cloud we need to store in multiple place- ourselves. Secondly, this is a continuation of the critique of twitter from last year, prior to their incorporation of the Suggested User list or the mytical back room partnerships that have taken place. There has ben movement afoot to reproduce the functions and connectivity offerred by the service but in a more open and modular manner. I am certain that Dave is working in the right direction to make this a simple thing, for if just doing it equally were enough there would be a great deal of buzzhype about laconi.ca. Thirdly, this is a problem that is excerbated by the service sliding into the mainstream of our culture. By becoming a central hotspot that can be hyped up on CNN, Fox, ABC, NY Times etc, this is reflective of the same manner in which AOL was adopted in the 90s. So Twitter itself will be around despite not having monetized itself as long as it can keep its media darling status, but once it purchases Time-Warner or some other obviously ridiculous business decision, the trumpeting press will see some downside, and there will be a graceful exit from the room to the next little tech service that captures their attention.

you are correct that things hardly ever settle down. occasionally we
get a moment to catch our breathe but that's about it.

Re: Cricbuzz.com: Symonds playing only for money: Slater

n8k99 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:07:46 -0000

there is no shame in playing for money now that he has been dismissed by his country because he went out for a sherbet. and if he did have a drink so be it, he's a big boy and can handle himself. frankly, it is a game, its not as if he is doing open heart surgery or assembling delicate nuclear weapons.

um, hello?

one month to turn around the world's largest economy after it has been moving in this direction for eight, no wait, thirty years. i think you need to be a little more realistic in your expectations.

as far as the factual nature of your information about ACORN, i have not been looking into that, i will give it a look see, however i expect that it will not be as you say. I suspect that you are an astro-turfer for the party of NO and will leave your comment here because it is at least interesting, despite violating an expressed policy of this site; your user name is serving as a SPAM link and is not the name of a "real person".

good day sir.

yes, manny had a good at batting in cricket but you neglect to mention that he was bowled out after three pitches and that he decided that any at bat that could last 9 hours was too intense for him.

Re: New Dashboard feature: Lock threads

منتديات لحظة — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:19:17 -0000

I already see a potential application. Let's say that you write "post A" and that this post results in a lively discussion. Subsequently you write "post B" that includes information that wasn't available at the time of post A. In this case, I would want to close the discusion on "post A" and redirect people to the new discussion of "post B."

Just out of curiosity, can you unlock a discussion after it has been locked? I don't know if there's a call for this, but I'm just curious.توبيكات ملونه
