For something that's utter horseshit, it certainly continues to generate discussion since May.

Dave, your continued insults directed at TechCrunch are personal to me. If I respond with irritation at your misleading insinuations it's just my way of pointing out your continued assault on an opinion by suggesting it's a conspiracy controlled by Twitter or anyone else. I disagree with you. Go ahead and delete this; I wouldn't have written this here if I expected you to have anything other than a double standard.

What exactly do you mean here, have Twitter "step in here" and kill what I think? Get a grip.

of course. however I am not understanding your opinion Dave. Is it that the benefits you cite outweigh the concern others have about creating the need for large monitization models that may inhibit innovation of the type you've previously favored?

I think we should start a museum for clueless Twitter snark. this one starts the pile.

I do love you. And it's Fred Wilson, not Jack. Keep up the great work, and keep these videos coming.

they are clearly competing for high value realtime customers and will be shortly for track. They don't yet need a larger company. If they acquire a viral audience, they will be formidable. I believe they are doing so.

Not trying to prove that, just running the misdirections to ground so that real answers will either be forthcoming or alternates will appear.

If you can model something that provides realtime track as Michael Markman and Karoli reply below, then I'm all ears. My bet is that getting close will only increase the number of cutoffs of access to disable said functionality. I've been gnawing on this long enough to start beliving my lying eyes.

There may be too much ranting and raving about track, but it's not because I am confused about it, Dave. I've been extremely clear for months about it, and what does not exist is what Twitter provided until it was removed. Many third parties have attempted to provide the service, but have been stymied by Twitter's refusal to allow latency-free service either over XMPP or to another provider who would then pass it along. BearHug Camp successfully proved that Twitter would only commit to private conversations not trackable (pun intended) in the open to arrange for latentcy-free or usable conversation-speed track. None of the requests for such access have been approved, either by Twitter or via third party services such as Gnip who Twitter said could "soon" provide such service.

While many may not see the usefulness of track as we who care have defined it, or understand the repeated requests for such resumption of service as you suggest Jack Dorsey doesn't, the facts are that the service is unavailable due to business reasons, not technology ones. Perhaps if you asked Jack Dorsey or whoever is currently empowered to speak authoritatively to discuss this in an open forum where our request can be specifically satisfied or rejected, then we can move on. To say that this has not been carefully whittled down is factually mistaken.

Re: Are You Really Using FriendFeed, or are You a Poser?

I enjoyed this post, which came up in my Google vanity feed. As your first commenter pointed out, when FF has some way of surfacing content back on Twitter, I will be more interested in joining the conversation inside the FF silo. Actually, your usage stats don't reveal how much I use the service, just how I choose to input comments, which I do through Twitter. Now that you know how to reach me, keep in touch.

Bill Clinton's behavior in this campaign is catching up with him, and Obama's jettisoning of him in his remarksabout Reagan was more apt than it might have been 6 weeks ago.
