Gillmor Gang Live now with Mike Arrington, Danny Sullivan, Kevin Marks and Scoble at http://building43.com/realtime - Cliff Gerrish
if you don't want it online, don't put it online - Da
Anybody back Diaspora with some cash? - Alex de Soto
http://www.pledgebank.com/leavefa... has a few hundred signups. Da, people didn't think it *was* online - Kevin Marks
Managing stream access control is a new primary online skill. - Cliff Gerrish
FB should keep it simple. Did you see this infographic? http://www.nytimes.com/interac... - Alex de Soto
FB changed of all profile settings and likes into public pages: eg http://bit.ly/bVGdKj - Kevin Marks
Exactly right it's a big deal - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
It's easy to say "so they have my data" but explain that to a person who was sharing very personal lifestyle issues to only private friends and now can be discovered they have an alternative life style by their boss or coworkers - *thats* the pain of the change of default privacy settings. - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Scoble - but during all of those previous growth phases the user's basic data was still default private. I had to *invite* you into my facebook realm. Now it's default public and that is different - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
my facebook hasn't shared my stuff with yelp. I remember one time there was a page that appeared on my facebook asking if I wanted to share and I clicked no and that i haven't seen FB stuff on my other accounts. If my stuff's being shared, let me know - Da
"We" don't all know that. - Ken Sheppardson
Agreed, in previous phases it was default private. It became a trusted to reconnect with family and old friends. It allowed a deep emotional connection to those people become representative of the service. Opening it up is disregarding that. *edit* --> And as we've just seen on #GG, this is clearly a highly emotional issue. - Nick Wade
"in previous phases" was a 19 year old kid. - Johnny
Because we trust you Scoble and that's different than exposing to the world. And we are not the same people as average FB Joe or Jane. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Jeez, Robert... it's opt-out. The fact that they haven't opted out doesn't mean staying in was an explicit choice. - Ken Sheppardson
For some reason Scoble is taking the refutation of his sample set as a personal attack - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Nobody "normal" reads TechCrunch... let alone comments on posts there. - Ken Sheppardson
Robert: Average consumers probably don't know a lot about privacy on the Web and a lot of them are also put off and scared by the chatter. - Alex de Soto
We're all edgy on this Mike. It's a touchy debate. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
If you understand how gossip works, you understand how linked social graphs work. - Cliff Gerrish
exactly Cliff- you understand how gossip works after it impacts you or someone you love - Kevin Marks
Mark - oh for sure - I went off the handle a couple days ago when discussing this with Jesse - it's sooo easy to do when you talk privacy and come from vastly different background assumptions of what privacy means - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
... and with vastly different assumptions about what *other people* think privacy means. - Ken Sheppardson
Most people I know filter the information before it goes up. If they don't want it known, they don't upload. If they do, they already have their profile locked down. - Johnny
Kevin, or when you here a particularly juicy piece of gossip. "how did you hear that?" - Cliff Gerrish
@Mike Exactly - Privacy is not a well defined scope. Each person has a different view on what info is personal and what's OK to share to the world. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Privacy is what other people agree not to pass on. - Cliff Gerrish
Facebook is Walmart... - Johnny
No, you're involved in the choices and control -- but you have a say. - Cliff Gerrish
100,000 / $10 = 10,000 vs 400,000,000 - Johnny
Facebook has reinvented the AOL of the 90's - and i think it will go the way AOL did - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I don't think the AOL comparison is useful. - Cliff Gerrish
Bear, yes... and will make a tonne of money doing it. - Johnny
isn't this what they said about myspace? - Da
Facebook has a much different model than AOL. - Robert Scoble
It's Facebook vs Google vs Twitter, and Google and Twitter don't seem to have really joined the fight yet. - Ken Sheppardson
For a lot of people, Facebook IS the web for people. They made it so, not Facebook. The 'web' is large and confusing. Facebook made it simple. People like simple. - Johnny
Evening all - can we get off the privacy and talk about future of semantic / structured data - has the FB changes meant enough websites will start adopting? - Nick Halstead
Cliff - why not? AOL was also a closed environment that slowly added on features and also pissed off many of it's original users when they changed. In some ways that is the same thing that FB is doing - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Nick: next week. :-) - Robert Scoble
Facebook grew up in the age of the web; AOL was pre-historic. - Cliff Gerrish
10 years from now, Facebook=MySpace=Friendster-Classmates - A new child will rise, they always do if people revolt due to direction (or lack of). - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
DId you see @blaine's 'Facebook is my new BoatCar' post? http://bit.ly/at3OB0 - Kevin Marks
what's FB's motto? - Da
Cliff - it may have grown up in the age of the web but it isn't a peer at all in the realm of the web. It's a view only portal into their data - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Man, I wish I'd thought of the kickstarter angle before the Diaspora guys. Most direct cashing in on a meme I've seen to date. - Ken Sheppardson
Walmart is trying to take over 'shopping'... - Johnny
Facebook is moving from a walled garden to putting a permeable membrane in place. That's what all the complaints are about. - Cliff Gerrish
flash = dead - bored now - Nick Halstead
Cliff - I'll believe that as soon as they put their own *Connect code on their own web site - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Indeed, Exactly. Shop at a local store - Johnny
What is the name of the book Mike mentioned on the network effect - TonyatMATC
All the Flash developers I speak to are all thinking about retraining in new technologies - its already happening - Nick Halstead
But if I tell you I got a cheap deal at Walmart, you might go. - Johnny
I hope so... if only to push Apple - Johnny
EVO 4G! - Da
Verizon provides it out of the box on the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus. I'm sure they'll roll it out on Android - Ken Sheppardson
I can tether on my iPhone here in Oz... - Johnny
I think Sprint will allow tethering on the upcoming 4G HTC android phone. - Alex de Soto
Will the carriers rest Android away from Google? - Cliff Gerrish
The Google store is gone. Right? - Alex de Soto
Wave, Google Store, Buzz... big year for Google :-/ - Ken Sheppardson
If Google Android store goes down, then people can get Androids programs somewhere else - Da
the carriers may make the version 2.* of android they already have the only version they support and just iterate new hardware - much like what happened with WinMobile - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I still haven't found a cell phone that gives the call quality and low latency of a land line. Maybe I'm just imagining things. - Ken Sheppardson
Google's in beta all the time - Da
Ken, you're talking about latency like it's a bad thing... - Cliff Gerrish
Yeah, I guess I'm old school that way. - Ken Sheppardson
Latency is a bad thing in a phone. Most of cellphone lag is in the codecs. - Kevin Marks
HP's webOS FTW ;-/ - Ken Sheppardson
The question is whether Android is just a commercial for iOs (iphone/ipad) - Cliff Gerrish
didn't Android just passed iPhone? - Da
He threw away voice, 'cause he couldn't get it to work right. - Ken Sheppardson
Gotta love latency. - Ken Sheppardson
wishing for G722 audio on these shows - Jerry Schuman
Salesbook? - Ken Sheppardson
looking forward to what comes next to the EVO 4G - Da
Wave is back.. and the thing is getting blazing fast. - Jerry Schuman
If you didn't log in to Wave this year, be sure to log in next year... - Cliff Gerrish
Open Standard people work at Mozilla also - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Jerry a crappy interface that runs fast is still a crappy interface. - Robert Scoble
I agree about the interface issues.. but again.. Wave as a technology platform in the hands of a developer community... the best is still ahead. - Jerry Schuman
Wave and Buzz API's will allow the devs to finally start showing the possibilities of both tech platforms - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Jerry: smart developers will rip Wave out of that crappy interface. :-) - Robert Scoble
Any year now. - Ken Sheppardson
Ken - it's only been year, not long at all for new tech - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Robert: correct and it's what I said would happen from the initial launch. I hate the email metaphor as much as you.. - Jerry Schuman
I wish the Diaspora guys would spend their $140K on that instead... - Ken Sheppardson
Facebooks needs a social graph access control visualization -- instead of text based access control, visual controls. - Cliff Gerrish
I'd be scared if Google reveals my browsing history, on all the the devices I use - Da
If the Diaspora guys are smart they will research the already present platforms (buzz, wave, ostatus, etc) and implement a common service to consolidate them - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
If the Diaspora guys were really that smart they would have shipped already. Too much talk. - Robert Scoble
good point Scoble - bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Heck, they haven't even *started* yet, Robert. I think they're going to spend most of the summer printing t-shirts and burning CDs to send out to contributors - Ken Sheppardson
NO give it away now! - Jerry Schuman
Just give it to me - Jerry Schuman
But Google display ads based on key words and history, that's not aggregating your true personal identity. It's a weaker "guess" to who you are. It's not true 1-to-1 aggregation and sharing. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Kevin Marks is a negative nelly that needs to take happy pills - Ken Sheppardson

"I still haven't found a cell phone that gives the call quality and low latency of a land line. Maybe I'm just imagining things." - No, you're not. Quality requires bandwidth. That battle was lost before it was fought. - John Craft
Hey I beat Nick - Jerry Schuman

Mike, just to say the reason I said I didn't want one is that I will not be able to make it over to NY... I'm sure it will be a great conference. - Ben Metcalfe
