- Ludwig Ederle

- Ludwig Ederle
Well if YOU just got it, I guess I have to wait Robert
- Francine Hardaway
Image quality is INSANE.
- Nir Ben Yona
Live is fine. Steve is a little quiet.
- Laura Norvig
It took about a week for Google to ship me the new Glass. I begged them for a UPS tracking number because of the snow storms and they provided me with one.
- Alex de Soto
Ludwig: it's the ONLY public iteration (at LeWeb).
- Robert Scoble
ok. Can't wait to see more
- Ludwig Ederle
Sorry, we are having a little audio trouble, will try again in a few seconds.
- Robert Scoble
Say hi to Andy, ok?
- Ludwig Ederle

Bill Gates is over. His Moonwalking Days are done

Bill Gates isn´t invested that big in Microsoft anyway. It is his baby, but financially he has no big interest in Microsoft.

Bob Parsons? He was a great marketer

Pretty well, but as economics go Public Cloud, then Linux dominates...

Microsoft's future is another Companies past

- Laura Norvig
Not peanuts to most
- Dale Lature
scoble is quiet today
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Really need patents to stave off patent trolls
- clive boulton
supposed to go up $20 to $40
- Kevin Marks
they're considering it
- Jerome Hughes
I'd still have prime at $20 more. And I never have video
- Francine Hardaway
This is interesting post I read from Ilya Grigorik re browsers https://plus.google.com/1145524...
- Petr Faitl
Prime is better delivery. next day by 1pm, same day in London and Birmingham here
- Ian Waring
I heard 20....99.95 makes sense
- Dale Lature
Love Prime
- Ian Waring
I have to sign off - it's been a pleasure. See everyone in two weeks!
- John Taschek

Apple split Apple TV into it's own category on the store
- Jerome Hughes
Bye John

I stuck $4K in each of Liquid Metal and GT Advanced Tech - up 66% and 11% in last 2 weeks
- Ian Waring
apple says this for several quarters now?
- Ludwig Ederle
Facebook App called "Paper"
- Ian Waring
It would be interesting to see if Paper will ultimately be a cross-platform app or a "closed-garden." I think it would have a huge impact if people will be able to post on Twitter, for example.
- Nir Ben Yona
Liquid Metal has 17 Apple patents, GTAT have Sapphire screen plant in Arizona
- Ian Waring
the Paper app is iPhone only, not even iPad
- Kevin Marks
Samna
- Ian Waring
BTW, FB Messenger is the leading IM app in the US. Whatsapp controls most of the others. Line in Japan.

hootsuite

I don't see the logo

@Francine Enlarge your screen.
- Nir Ben Yona
Google+ is the single signon
- Ian Waring
it's ok you dont need to see the skype logo Francine ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Happy not to see it:-)
- Francine Hardaway
one backend to service them all
- Jerome Hughes
oops, my son let the dogs out when he went out
- Kevin Marks
@Robert, RE: Paper, agree, a gentle migration to a new interface...built by a team called Labs no? Also a vehicle for video ads too yah?
- J.C. Bouvier
I couldn't download it on iPad last night Kevin
- Francine Hardaway
You can look at how LinkedIn has buried Pulse News within. Don't care for that Yahoo! approach.
- Alex de Soto
I had it working on my old Nexus 7 tab
- Ian Waring
I did too, but then I wiped it to give to my son
- Kevin Marks
That's the lean startup methodology
- Francine Hardaway
Facebook Must be the most expensive App Company in the world
- Moe Glitz
main thing is that the apps get those who'd leave to keep using their services from a different interface
- Jerome Hughes
Poke, Home. Failures
- Moe Glitz
I don't use anything on FB but the newsfeed
- Francine Hardaway
Facebook camera
- Kevin Marks
Oh, and events
- Francine Hardaway
Facebook looking to allow anonymity soon
- Ian Waring
Flipboard cuts through Paper
- Moe Glitz
i'm always amazed at how much I love this conversation ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
their events don't pipe into calendar any more
- Kevin Marks
Apps are like "appendages" to the OS?
- Alex de Soto
and they'll migrate behaviors from the main app to other apps as they find them more useful for those behaviors
- Jerome Hughes
I have one private Group on Facebook (Social Media Nonprofit Friends) I use for professional development, just-in-time answers. But that just happens to be a great community - we would be comfortable using any tool to communicate. The rest of FB is meh to me.
- Laura Norvig
Two datapoints, Steve
- Francine Hardaway
Look how differently each of us use FB
- Francine Hardaway
Ben Evans and app paradigms: http://ben-evans.com/benedic...
- Ian Waring
ask a fish about the ocean
- Jerome Hughes
Steve, she uses Instagram...that's for sure.
- Nir Ben Yona
bingo keith. kids know what apps they use. maybe she just doesn't resonate with the word app.
- Laura Norvig
"How do you send messages to a friend...?" Not, what app...?
- Tom Guarriello
Exactly
- Francine Hardaway
Ben Evans: Google is the first to advance interaction models that are not remotely webby (such as Now)
- Ian Waring
i think the younger gen isn't as brand loyal as their parents
- Tina Chase Gillmor
the back of the fork
- Kevin Marks
A brand is a promise
- Francine Hardaway
And how @Tina
- J.C. Bouvier
Oh you Englismen... back of the fork
- Tina Chase Gillmor
This generation's feast moves to the latest and greatest wherever it is...
- J.C. Bouvier
That would fail like poke did
- Francine Hardaway
And (pop) culture
- Ludwig Ederle
On the Paper app itself, how can they claim a 'distraction' free environment w/out ads? Are they charging the outlets like Atlantic & NatGeo for an extended schema of data from Paper users?
- J.C. Bouvier
Totally
- Francine Hardaway
But that isn't brand loyalty
- Francine Hardaway
I use FB messenger more than I thought i ever would
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Not sure that people will necessarily use these apps in 5/10 years (FB, Twitter, Instagram).
- Nir Ben Yona
I use FB messenger a lot because I can reach people that way
- Francine Hardaway
People associate with process flows, not apps
- Ian Waring
Get Taxi
- Nir Ben Yona
combination of utility and popularity makes an app go.
- Laura Norvig
I use FB messenger cos twitter won't let me dm links any more
- Kevin Marks
you a quality loyal Robert. If Uber's quality sinks, you will jump.... and fast
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Facebook's mobile app wouldn't stop demanding that I install the damn messenger app...so I finally did...I think the multiple app strategy is their plan, but I don't think it can be a holistic solution for them...
- J.C. Bouvier
I see no point why brands should disappear. The more disruption the more you need brands as a guideline to quality and pop culture, no?
- Ludwig Ederle
fb messenger on android is really handy
- Kevin Marks
Ben Evans: This is the key reason why the new social messaging apps are so interesting - not because they have users and inventory now, but because they can be vectors for some of this sort of behaviour - a third acquisition, discovery and distribution channel besides Facebook and Google.
- Ian Waring
Amazon is a good example: Different apps for different tasks but a universal Web presence for all.
- Alex de Soto
Agree Kevin
- Francine Hardaway
I love FB messenger.
- Robert Scoble
But brand alone is nothing
- Ludwig Ederle
Uber is in legal trouble see my link above
- Charles Carrico
FB has a terrible brand, but the nectwork effect keeps us on it
- Francine Hardaway
+1 Keith This is how brands are built: association
- Tom Guarriello
this is true. i dont like that either
- Tina Chase Gillmor
They've all been spam
- Francine Hardaway
Twitter DM would be cooler if it worked like Friendfeed - if you could message more than one person privately at once.
- Laura Norvig
which FB messenger does enable
- Kevin Marks
Francine: I don't know. I think Facebook's brand is on a major rebound. People are finally figuring out it's better than Twitter or Google+ in many ways.
- Robert Scoble
Wow, Robert, I totally disagree. Facebook is getting quieter and quieter. They are making it really hard for Pages content to be seen in feeds. Teens are leaving.
- Laura Norvig
Laura: not in my world.
- Robert Scoble
Not among kids, Robert. And actually not even among "normal" people my age. People groan about FB, and use it reluctantly
- Francine Hardaway
There's no joy in using FB
- Francine Hardaway
i'm gonna hace to bring Steve's monitor up about 6 inches so he doesnt look down when he's talking to everyone
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I don't think Facebook is struggling on mobile at all
- Ludwig Ederle
No, because advertisers are starting to move their ad spend to FB.
- Francine Hardaway
he's gonna blow!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina: You must find a thicker John Lennon book.
- Alex de Soto
Funny how Joy comes and goes. Path seemed joyous at first. Lots of folks had joy with Tumblr.
- Laura Norvig
I think Robert's right. FB is like McDonald's. Everybody hates it.
- Tom Guarriello
Maybe they just love the Ritz, Robert
- Francine Hardaway
no, that's because of YOUR brand, Robert!
- Laura Norvig
He's blowing right now!!!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Facebook notifications are pretty good.
- Alex de Soto
+1 TOm., It;s not dying, but it's not joyous either
- Francine Hardaway
yawn
- Ian Waring
FB is a utility now.
- Francine Hardaway
GO ROBERT!!
- J.C. Bouvier
FB isn't dying and isn't fun. QED
- Francine Hardaway
and, Francine, everybody's ashamed of using it...
- Tom Guarriello
Roberts stop listening
- Ian Waring
On the Desktop yes. Mobile no
- Moe Glitz
I totally agree with robert
- Ludwig Ederle
exactly Tom. Like MacDonald's
- Francine Hardaway
never heard of We chat
- Dale Lature
hm, forgot my snapchat password
- Kevin Marks
Laura it has NOTHING to do with my brand. i talk with hundreds of normal people and watch their behaviors.
- Robert Scoble
We chat on Facebook
- Ludwig Ederle
capture the people who are leaving because of inefficiencies in the thing they won't allow you to change
- Jerome Hughes
Dale - 400m users. Mainly in Asia. WhatsApp has a similar number in Europe and US
- Keith Teare
The people I just showed you online are NOT there because I am.
- Robert Scoble
I'd agree with the McDonald's analogy. Popular but not cool.
- Laura Norvig
WeChat is china first
- Kevin Marks
I won't get it -iPhone only
- Kevin Marks
no doubt that the most liukely place to find just about anyone is on the Facebook chat list
- Dale Lature
they're trying to make sure the back end is for everybody, as everybody being available from the backend is their advantage
- Jerome Hughes
Feedly is brilliant
- Ian Waring
Gillmor gang is on mine
- Ian Waring
I use Digg Reader. Every day
- Francine Hardaway
I'm big Feedly user
- Tom Guarriello
For sure Paper will compete with FlipBoard...everyone is trying for better news...I wonder if Yahoo! built their news app in response to Paper or vice versa?
- J.C. Bouvier
Feedly is great.
- Alex de Soto
I only used flipboard on iPad - when my iPad was stolen, I'm finished with flip and use individual apps on iphone
- Charles Carrico
Feedly is No.1 traffic source for many of the big websites.
- Nir Ben Yona
Let's not go there ...
- Laura Norvig
But Flipboard is visual.
- Alex de Soto
@Tom, have Feedly, but never seem to have time to open it on iOS or OS X...
- J.C. Bouvier
the visual aspect of Flipboard doesn't work on iPhone - screen is too small
- Charles Carrico
RSS is Dead, Long Live RSS - for the consumer, it's about what flows in the pipes
- Jerome Hughes
Medium will never get large
- Moe Glitz
Medium looks like a fad to me, but hey, I could be wrong
- Tom Guarriello
I'd use Tumblr rather than Medium (too San Francisco-ish),
- clive boulton
No mention of Super Bowl on the show
- Moe Glitz
I use Flipboard on Nexus 5 and iPhone and it works fine for me. Easy to flip those items up. Does give my thumb a workout though. And it actually works well on Windows 8 too.
- Alex de Soto
I'm w/you @Moe, too long form...people see paragraphs and glaze over...'TIme to read' is helpful, if everyone reads at a Master's candidate level...
- J.C. Bouvier
Or Rugby with Shoulder Pads
- Moe Glitz
(hand up)
- Ian Waring
*raises hand*
- J.C. Bouvier
LOL proof that it's not a technical problem
- Jerome Hughes
Medium won't be a real tool until Nick Bilton or Brad Stone write a book...
- J.C. Bouvier
pownce rip
- Kevin Marks
earlier today... Dave Winer's tweet ☮ @davewiner 6h
I hope someday someone pollutes Steve Gillmor and Mike Arrington's life with "dead" metaphors.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
not a technical problem, a robert not listening problem
- Kevin Marks
Tumblr with Disqus comments
- clive boulton
Kevin: sorry for talking over you.
- Robert Scoble
Tech-the new Beauty Pageant
- Moe Glitz
Clive: Not gonna happen. David don't like it.
- Nir Ben Yona
Don't mistake me, I really like Medium...however if the focus of the tool is the display of words in text at a length of more than a Facebook status update; that isn't where the traffic trends are pointing for mass consumption on a scale like Facebook...
- J.C. Bouvier
feel for Robert as often have the same issue
- Jerome Hughes
Relevant to today's discussion - MG on transition of social networks and apps http://parislemon.com/post...
- Laura Norvig
Yeah not sure. Usually Robert hears and keeps off of other dialog
- Tina Chase Gillmor
it can be his skype cutting us out
- Kevin Marks
Moe, what was that about a Superb Owl?
- Laura Norvig
Yeah, it's hard to hear today.
- Robert Scoble
The best thing about Medium is the interface.
- Francine Hardaway
Francine: yes.
- Robert Scoble
Is Nexus supposed to go away with Motorola?
- Kevin Bryan
Robert stay on the line after the show. Letr's see if we can figure it out
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Patents!
- Ian Waring
Apple TV rumored to include integrated AirPort, gaming, etc?
- Jerome Hughes
Halo Product
- Ian Waring
Google working on Skynet at the moment
- Moe Glitz
Deep mind was a big deal
- Moe Glitz
Agree with Ian. No one really knows the actual value of Motorola patents.
- Nir Ben Yona
as a hedge against msft patents
- Kevin Marks
Google stopped folks playing Atari video games
- Ian Waring
Whisper, Secret. Hush is coming next
- Moe Glitz
followed by shhhhh
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Tks for calling it out @Keith, I might have missed it...
- J.C. Bouvier
where was that Ian? missed it
- Kevin Marks
STFU is the next app
- Kevin Marks
Nir Ben Yona: David's right Tumblr reblogs more successful, but some folks custom adding Disqus comments.
- clive boulton
Microsoft still getting Android menace payments (and market share data from "licensees")?
- Ian Waring
MG - "There is a lot of noise out there. But there is also a lot of opportunity. Because the age of the social network is ending." - http://parislemon.com/post...
- Keith Teare
more app-centric fluff though
- Kevin Marks
Joke - your commentary from TWIG on what Deepmind did with video games
- Ian Waring
ahah!
- Kevin Marks
Social network is ending? Social is dead? really?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Lol laura
- Moe Glitz
I want you to see my answer to MG: https://www.facebook.com/parisle...
- Robert Scoble
The social networking era hasn't even started yet
- Ludwig Ederle
Clive, yeah.. you can sort it out.
- Nir Ben Yona
social is implicit infrastructure is the point
- Kevin Marks
Tina, a very link-baity title but a decent article.
- Laura Norvig
water flows to the low points unless coerced
- Jerome Hughes
Facebook having to keep the stock price up by driving massive audience is driving Zuck into growing lower demographic audiences. WalmartBook
- clive boulton
You really should keep this show to one hour, Steve. *doesn't need an app to say that*
- Laura Norvig
Facebook is the new Comcast
- Moe Glitz
Facebook needs to be a bit more solid on not hiding friend statuses selectively
- Ian Waring
Facebook is the new Yahoo - it feels like a portal page when I go there
- Kevin Marks
Yahoo = dead meat
- Ian Waring
FB needs to tell us how to get the people we want into our feeds
- Francine Hardaway
+1 Francine
- Tom Guarriello
+1 Francine
- Ian Waring
+1 Francine
- clive boulton
please ignore the curator behind the curtain, and trust implicitly that we're doing what's best for you
- Jerome Hughes
PostSecret app'ified
- Ian Waring
I left FB because Zucks graph sucks in too much past not enough future
- clive boulton
True Francine. Currently they want to get Advertisers into our feeds
- Moe Glitz
And we trust Google's algorithms to filter all knowledge?
- Alex de Soto
Yeah but PostSecret is totally anonymous/random - not for people who know each other.
- Laura Norvig
Tx guys, TGIF and have a great weekend...
- J.C. Bouvier
GG looks great, Tina!
- Tom Guarriello
If you dont know where the message has come from, do you know?
- Ian Waring
no we don't but they seem better at it then FB, because they have another source of ad revenue
- Kevin Marks
Kevin's right there. I'm seeing a ton of curated content from Google Now lately. I'ts all been signal; no noise.
- Kevin Bryan
Any platform where we can hear when GG is about to be aired? I get 2 mins notice...
- Ian Waring
Did I miss a convo about the GOOG MOTO sale?
- J.C. Bouvier
You are welcome Steve
- Francine Hardaway
Kevin: GOogle+ is very noisy for me, but watch what they do to join more of Google+ into Google Search Engine and make it possible for developers to get a higher virality and conversion rate.
- Robert Scoble
Ian, Steve betlieves we should be a spontaneous community
- Francine Hardaway
Great show!
- Robert Scoble
GG looks great in HD
- clive boulton
Was a great show
- Francine Hardaway
Francine, has FB not made it clear that adding someone to the close friends list brings you everything? or does it? reviewing someone's page often shows plenty you'd have missed otherwise
- Jerome Hughes
Great show, but if you're broadcasting Saturday, what time?
- Ian Waring
Who's going to win the "Big Game," the "Pot Bowl?"
- Alex de Soto
clive boulton: I agree. Show looks very HD.
- Kevin Bryan
Currently 10:40pm here
- Ian Waring
Last Saturday, you did the prog 2 hours early
- Ian Waring
Time for next Saturday please?
- Ian Waring
Yeah Tina!
- Alex de Soto
