Just as long as I don't lose my Google Voice number I'll be okay with it.

Thanks Veomar, that really does help.

Re: How To Stay Positive When a Relationship Ends

Wow, just a few short hours ago an on again off again relationship that's been going on for the past year with a girl I've know for over 12 years just blew up in my face. Then as I pick up the pieces and try to distract myself from the train wreck of a relationship that just ended. I opened up my Facebook feed and this article is the first thing I see.

It's amazing how the universe connects with you.

Out of all of this the key points that this article brings home that I have to remind myself over and over again is the fact that I can only control my actions, my reactions, my thoughts, and my own feelings.

For this past year I became so obsessed with trying to fix the issues that rose in the relationship I was in and by doing that things only got worse. It took me this long to realize that I can't change what my ex thinks or feels about me or even how she behaves. She is going to think and believe what she wants and there is not a damn thing I can do about it.

Another thing that helps is to quit taking the failure of the relationship and the pain it caused personally. We were both the best possible people that we could be coming into this relationship and I have had to struggle not letting my ex bring me down and feel miserable over the mistakes I've made or get angry for her not taking responsibility for the mistakes she made.

What's done is done and I can only focus on myself, learn from my mistakes, and make the clear changes I need to make for the next relationship I enter in.

I just wish it didn't have to hurt so much.

Bottom line here is the fact that this chart is flawed based on the premise it's trying to create. When it comes to the data we trust on the internet and our privacy no company is better than the other in terms of what they do with our data. That's the price we pay to use the internet.

That's not true. I just tried it on a different Google account and it doesn't work.

I remember! High Dynamic Range. I had this same conversation with @viss a while back. I see what your saying now.

The photo noob must ask. How did HDR ruin that image?

Re: FriendFeed vs. Facebook

wizardelite — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 00:28:38 -0000

Looking back, I remember a time when FriendFeed first arrived to the scene. Twitter was having major stability issues and everybody from people like Robert Scoble was claiming that Twitter is dead and that Friendfeed was the new player in town.

Moving to present day we see that Twitter and Facebook are more popular than ever and Friendfeed remains in the realm of the early adopters and high level bloggers/social media purists. Why? Because Friendfeed is to hard to use while the others are simple and intuitive to use.

I hope I get heat for my critiques for what I have to say about Friendfeed. Then maybe we can see these companies actually create a decent product. Guess we have to wait till Monday to see.

Not only do I use FriendFeed to aggregate my content but I wanted to use it as a way to find interesting and relevant content from other users that share my same interests. Yet with the poor implementation of the user interface, it is an impossible task to accomplish.

Great ideas are a dime a dozen these days. What's vital is execution and if you can't successfully execute your idea it will never truly get off the ground.

I find it intriguing that shortly after this post Robert Scoble announced that FriendFeed is supposed to release a new user interface this coming Monday. I can only hope that FriendFeed realizes the key issues with their site and they make the appropriate corrections.

Expect a follow up post once I've had a chance to try out Friendfeed's redesign.

I don't deny about the housing boom from 03 to 05 and what problems it caused. Just wanted to emphasize that what gave birth to that boom started a lot sooner.

Looking forward to reading the rest of this series and by the way Your Soo Money as well! :)

Coffee Soon! Let's plan!

Here is another link from TIME that also addresses Bill Clinton and his role in this Financial Crisis we are in. http://bit.ly/GDQg5

You state

"It all started in 2002, for the most part. As part of a stimulus arrangement to keep Americans focused on their pockets instead of the War in Iraq, post 9/11 - the housing market was grossly inflated."

I'd like to see any reference you have to support this statement and some conspiracy to take Americas minds off Iraq and 9/11. From everything that I've read this housing crisis started during the Clinton era. See http://bit.ly/17PZBO Bill Clinton helped caused the Housing Crisis.

Along the same lines I'd like to hear what you have to say about this spending bill (not stimulus) bill that Obama has put though as well. Along with the bailouts, I fail to see how this spending bill will do anything for this economy? Plus we can already see how much confidence Wall Street already thinks of what the White House and Obama is doing thus far.

Wordpress is definitely working my way up to one of my favorite applications on my iPhone.
I'm also impressed and fascinated by the Twitter applications that have been developed. Twitterriffic, Twinkle, Twittelator, & Twittervision are excellent applications and go beyond a basic social networking Web 2.0 site. I really believe that if Twitter can get it's act together these iPhone applications can redefine the way with communicate with each other.

Re: Mainstream Attention to Twitter Attracts Mainstream Reactions

Totally agree with you 100%. I find this applies with equal weight to people who've never used the iPhone and bash it to their hearts content.

Although those people who've posted comments have a right to their opinion. Their insights are totally biased and misguided. It's along the lines of tearing down anything they don't understand or is a success.

Twitter has been a welcomed service into my life and will continue to stay. Take special note that none of my close friends use Twitter. All of the friends that I follow are new to my life. These people that I've met are truly amazing and wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Twitter.

To top it off Twitter is a very powerful networking tool that has actually made me money and meet like minded people in business that I would have never had a chance to met otherwise.

Now that I've written a novel I'll end it here. Point is pretty clear, Twitter is an amazing service that is hear to stay. I suggest that you try the site out and give it a chance before you start bashing it.
