I'm logging into Skype right now...waiting for the famous call.
- Robert Scoble
I'm watching the show remotely today. Kinda strange not being in the studio.
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff: that's why I still haven't gotten the call. They need you. :-)
- Robert Scoble
They're doing ok. Lots of guests today.
- Cliff Gerrish
We are almost started.
- Robert Scoble
i see, but I don't hear.
- Karoli
Yeah, I'm not hearing sound either
- Stephen Pickering
One more second.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah
- Stephen Pickering
much better. :) I think.
- Karoli
Great Album
- Stephen Pickering
One year ago we launched @building43 on Techcrunch's fourth birthday - and we did it in the Techcrunch offices - thanks, Techcrunch!
- Rob La Gesse
Gillmor Gang Recording Session w/ Mike Arrington, Danny Sullivan, Andrew Keen, John Taschek at http://building43.com/realtime
- Cliff Gerrish
Mike had black eyes
- TonyatMATC
Sorta sounds like boutique investment bank research departments....
- Cliff Gerrish
Blogging has become like air http://epeus.blogspot.com/2008...
- Kevin Marks
LOL :D
- Susan Beebe
@Kevin - mostly hot air ;)
- Rob La Gesse
I used to think of blogging as a personal diary sort of thing or what we think of Facebook today
- Stephen Pickering
part of my job at technorati was deciding what a blog is for the purpose of the top 100...
- Kevin Marks
There's probably not a good reason to have a strict definition of a blog. Just ask whether it's valuable writing or not.
- Cliff Gerrish
Lets face it most blogs are MSM now
- TonyatMATC
Actually it's probably the reverse, most MSM are blogs.
- Cliff Gerrish
Nonsense Tony. Most blogs are still personal diaries, and read by very few people
- Kevin Marks
iAds is wrong because Apple doesn't own the developers
- Stephen Pickering
Of COURSE Apple owns the developers (for all practical purposes, anyway). Complete control = ownership.
- Rob La Gesse
Kevin, I agree, but they were talking like HuffoPo was a blog. DailyKos it is a blog? Not sure. The people that talk about lunch, etc those are what I consider blogs.
- TonyatMATC
John Battelle - Guys, this is not analogous to AdWords. AdWords is Google's platform for the site *it* owns, google.com. Apple doesn't own the developers and apps who now have fewer choices for monetization on its platform.
- Stephen Pickering
My Google Voice has had issues. When I use the Chrome plugin it call the wrong number
- TonyatMATC
Love Demos on a live show. Plus show his number like Louis
- TonyatMATC
I'm using Ribbit for voice mail and transcription with my iPhone. Works pretty good except for the address book integration.
- Cliff Gerrish
I love so many things about Google Voice, sends messages and texts to Gmail, saves all my messages on Googles Cloud, I can respond from Gmail, My Chrome browser 'dings' when someone calls me
- Stephen Pickering
you pick the week I'm not on to do phone demos?
- Kevin Marks
@kevin LOL
- TonyatMATC
AT&T has the ability to block numbers - use the parental controls (costs $5 bucks a mo)
- Susan Beebe
:)
- Christopher Harris
Also like the Comcast iPhone app to pick up my home messages.
- Cliff Gerrish
Weird that Apple showed the new iPhone to the press and not the developers at WWDC
- Kevin Marks
Face-to-Face only works on WiFi :) -- i.e. Apple iPhone 4 device video conferencing
- Susan Beebe
Why should anyone have to use a task manager program these days?
- Cliff Gerrish
Should the battery be bigger on the EVO? NO ONE should have to kill a task on a phone to improve battery life
- Kevin Costain
The charger/cover for the iPhone solves the battery problem, you can use however no work arounds
- Sean Clark
Jeez, can we please have iPhone on Sprint/Verizon with tethering and hotspot!
- Stephen Pickering
the big suck is background-polling twitter apps
- Kevin Marks
Kevin, so we can blame poor battery life on Twitter?
- Cliff Gerrish
GSM is an 80's technology, it's like using DOS for Voice
- Stephen Pickering
CDMA is at least a 90s technology, voice sounds crystal clear
- Stephen Pickering
When I take my Android phone out without easy access to an outlet, I take this with me. .http://www.callpod.com/
- Kevin Costain
They're all going to converge on LTE.
- Cliff Gerrish
May I suggest an iPhone 4 + a Sprint Overdrive⢠3G/4G Mobile Hotspot.
- Alex de Soto
hahah
- Susan Beebe
Is the iTouch now going to look like the iPhone4 or are they not refreshing it?
- Stephen Pickering
Danny you need a Batman utility belt!
- Sean Clark
I can make your iTouch ring with Ribbit, Danny
- Kevin Marks
me!! (buying iPhone 4)
- Susan Beebe
My wife will be getting one. I'm sticking with me 3GS.
- Alex de Soto
How much is iPhone if my contract is not up?
- Stephen Pickering
I'm waiting until my contract let's me buy it at the lower price.
- Cliff Gerrish
I am in wait n' see mode too - looking to see how iPhone stacks up
- Susan Beebe
I might test out the EVO, don't they let you test it for a month?
- Stephen Pickering
3" x 4" size roughly (Verizon MiFi)
- Susan Beebe
Do they make a Mofi pack for EVO?
- Stephen Pickering
can Danny describe the process of getting the MyFi up and running, then getting the devices attached to it? heard that was sorta onerous
- Jerome Hughes
This is hilarious! Mobile Airplane mode FTW :D
- Susan Beebe
I had no problems with the iPhone in LA. Biggest problem I had in CA was in Cambria - total dead zone.
- Alex de Soto
My 3GS works all day too - battery life is great
- Susan Beebe
@Alex de Soto: Cambria, CA is a tiny town way up the Central Coast in CA... no wonder there's no signal there. (I got married there, so I know it well :)
- Susan Beebe
API Steve :)
- Susan Beebe
Nothing is ever deleted. It's just set to inactive.
- Cliff Gerrish
Facebook created an account for me on Scribd with my profile without my permission
- Xenophrenia
spooky
- Susan Beebe
This why the number of friends I have on Facebook keeps fluctuating so much, 2... 1..... 0.... 1.... 2... 0... sheesh.. :)
- Kevin Costain
I did not like Facebook and Scribd just deciding I wanted an account because I came there from another link
- Xenophrenia
Delete the cookie
- TonyatMATC
Archive is ok, but it should not be so easy to re-enable (by accident, for example).
- Susan Beebe
@steve LOL
- TonyatMATC
"You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave"
- Stephen Pickering
The account should be easier to delete
- Xenophrenia
Happy Birthday Mike :) & Bldg 43 - 1st Bday
- Susan Beebe
Mike Arrington is a likable pri@5k
- TonyatMATC
Phone contracts last longer!
- Alex de Soto
Thanks, Susan - and yes, Scoble will be staying with Rackspace for a long time :)
- Rob La Gesse
LOL :D
- Susan Beebe
I think Facebook wants to be the center of the internet Robert - you have competition ; )
- Xenophrenia
Robert, how do you get paid from RS
- TonyatMATC
Caffeine - Google's latest indexing goody
- Susan Beebe
I think he gets a paycheck :)
- Susan Beebe
@Susan for doing what for RS
- TonyatMATC
We pay Scoble in gadgets and widgets. :)
- Rob La Gesse
@susan he gets paid for being scoble
- TonyatMATC
iPhone 4 is next payment huh? :)
- Susan Beebe
scoble = brand that i BUY
- TonyatMATC
Promoted videos. PPC YouTube maybe?
- Alex de Soto
I keep getting a script error on the realtime page (Script: http://content.scanscout.com/ssframe... ) .... had to open a seperate Firefox to use Friendfeed because the live page freezes Firefox - any ideas why and how to fix? ... it's working this way but it's kinda annoying ; )
- Xenophrenia
Use Google Chrome :) that'll fix it hehe
- Susan Beebe
; )
- Xenophrenia
Instead of the silly google.com photo background thing, what they should have done is place ONE good offer or link to something they want to push, like Buzz...after it gets fixed/upgraded/relaunched... :)
- Alex Schleber
Google really departed from their core principles when they added a background image (they caved in to peer pressure by copying Bing).
- Susan Beebe
could have placed a link/ad for Nexus1 as well.
- Alex Schleber
I use iGoogle as I have widgets on there from my Google business account. I never use Google home page either... just enter search right in Chrome address bar
- Susan Beebe
I tried Chrome when it first came out and didn't like not having a bookmarks button - I use it a lot and hadn't gone back - I will try it
- Xenophrenia
addicted to searching in the location bar in chrom
- Amyloo
google search is so gamed it's frustrating.
- Karoli
Chrome's bookmark button is the Star in the address bar area
- Susan Beebe
I'll download and try it again ; )
- Xenophrenia
Sometimes you need a normal person on this show
- TonyatMATC
And the silly thing is that it's self defeating from a DirectResponse/UI design perspective: a random, non-related image just potentially moves the users mind from what they were in the middle of thinking about. A confused mind always says no.
- Alex Schleber
Agree with Danny when trying to buy products Ads can work better to find stuff
- Sean Clark
I think there might be a small but significant number of troubled people who sort of think search ads are something like recommended results
- Amyloo
Tony who's normal here? hehe
- Susan Beebe
@susan You got it right
- TonyatMATC
@Karoli - absolutely. Silly SEO...
- Alex Schleber
@Susan :)
- Alex Schleber
@Tony - hehehe :D Hey @Alex!!! *waves hello!*
- Susan Beebe
Good point, Danny Sullivan!
- Alex Schleber
I am a geek, and I do once in awhile click on ads from G

- Alex Schleber
Yay - ditto! :)
- Susan Beebe
Cupertino is the Kremlin of the App Dev world
- Susan Beebe

- Cliff Gerrish
Amazon sells a case for the Kindle. Does not come with one.
- Alex de Soto
@Karoli - enjoy, lucky!
- Susan Beebe
HEHE
- TonyatMATC
Do not drop your tech and live long and proster
- TonyatMATC
