Still waiting for the call - Robert Scoble

Robert: Awesome! - Nir Ben Yona

It was easier to call the Space Station! Steve? - Robert Scoble

Has anyone seen/used the Extension that lets you see and update your facebook stream in G+? - Kenny

Please stand by. Our countdown clock has stopped! - Robert Scoble

Kenny: I haven't yet - Robert Scoble

It actually works, which surprised me, adds a tab for FB right next to the G+ stream tab - Kenny

Still haven't gotten the call - Robert Scoble

Kenny: I have. Like it as well. - Denise Howell

Sorry I think I am causing more troubles than usual - Robert Scoble

Denise: I'm going to try the Twitter extension next to see how well that works - Kenny

At least I can text so I know something is working - Robert Scoble

Kevin are you on yet? - Robert Scoble

nope - Kevin Marks

Kenny, Robert: There you go: Google+Facebook extension http://bit.ly/orEmrG - Nir Ben Yona

yup, and here's the twitter one: http://crossrider.com/install... - Kenny

Man I pimped the heck out of this and it's not streaming. Serves me right I guess - Jon Reed

Ok, started a hangout: https://plus.google.com/1045578... - Denise Howell

I can join the hangout until steve calls I suppose - Kevin Marks

Denise: I don't see it - just goes to your profile :( - Kenny

Great question for video - Kenny

you need to be on plus to get in the hangout - Kevin Marks

I am :( - Kenny

nowhere near the capacity from my reasonably fast 22mbps to do anything professional - dlature

that's my experience after the first couple of hangout talks - dlature

Looks like a good GG. Howdy, folks. - coldbrew

Kevin - hang until someone dropsout if you can.I lost a machine - Tina Chase Gillmor

ah, OK - Kevin Marks

MS probaly bought Skype specifically b/c this deal was imminent. - coldbrew

OK; lmk so I can turn off the stream - Kevin Marks

G+ feels follower spammy to me - clive boulton

cliveb: I'm too much of a privacy freak to get on G+ at this point, but I'm intrigued. - coldbrew

There is less stream competition on Google +. Robert's photo was likely on his follower's main page on G+ but not on facebook. - Kyle McNeil

Mike - He's talking about interaction - but you know that - Kenny

Mike, such a troll type thing...listen - dlature

Sounds like a real measure. - Arnie Klaus

Scoble's 'engagement' is 'cos Plus has a too-tight feedback loop, leading to like cascades - Kevin Marks

Farber loves spam :) - coldbrew

Has Steve G used G+? - Kenny

Gillmor uses chatter... - coldbrew

percent of engagement Robert metnions is interesting - dlature

Scoble's engagement is persuasion driven attract to Rack Space - clive boulton

the friendfeed noise is the same as the plus noise - Kevin Marks

what hapens re: noise when PLus is open to all? - dlature

I remember sitting in AP chem in '89 and writing every ph # I knew down on a piece of paper. There were 73 phone #s I knew. Now I know 4 [sorry fr the random factoid, but those were "friends"]. - coldbrew

Arrington thinks I can be replaced by Google+ hangout...Figures ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

agreed Circles nailed categorization - clive boulton

the relative engagement in Google+ is also due to the novelty of the platform -I think in a huge way-. Scoble is a big "strange attractor" in this new channel so the tendency to comment/share is bigger now, don't you think? - david medina

could replace your hardware with it, maybe - Kevin Marks

medina: indeed. - coldbrew

no yet - Kenny

mikogo.com has free screen sharing - Jerome Hughes

screen sharing could come via a browser extension. - coldbrew

Wait for the G+ APIs - coldbrew

i think Google+ will augment Twitter, tweets will be selectively filtered and pushed to Google+ - Charlie Isaacs

As a non-public persona, I disagree. Twitter should be a separate entity, where one can freely express their ideas w/o identifying info. - coldbrew

Dan is sinking into the ground. Tip up Dan! - Tina Chase Gillmor

one connection to a friend thismorning, One on one, Skype connection performed better than Hangout - dlature

The deciding factor will be how much data is pushed there and "stored" there (Google+) - Charlie Isaacs

Twitter, Google melding now makes some intuitive sense to me (post G+); didn't before. - Denise Howell

David - I do agree, but think that the stream filtering is a major step towards keeping social media users exposed to what they are interested in. This innovation should increase the level of engagement over facebook and twitter. - Kyle McNeil

putting the Quaint in Acquaintance... - Kevin Marks

like they've run Blogger successfully - Kevin Marks

How much $$$ for twitter? - Kenny

Marks: I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. Please clarify. - coldbrew

Kevin: ditto; guessing sarcasm. ;) - Denise Howell

Twitter's estimated valuation to be $8 billion to $10 billion - Abhijeet Desai

Blogger is pretty successful 60 million + active users - Kevin Marks

Marks; Agreed. However, that was not the question. No offense :). - coldbrew

Could Viacom pay their CEO more? - coldbrew

where is robert going ?? - Abhijeet Desai

HAHA - now the rumor starts - Kenny

Dan's chin is mia, still glad to see part of him - Jerome Hughes

I think @arrington hacked @scobleizer 's voice mail and knows Rackspace rumors - Charlie Isaacs

people want sex, drugs, rock and roll, + murder - Charlie Isaacs

LOL - Abhijeet Desai

mike's sounding a bit SJ > JS ish... sugar water? - Jerome Hughes

Through the "colorado grape vine," my understanding is that Parker and Stone are taking their talents out of viacom's grasp (i.e. Viacom currently distributes South Park). - coldbrew

Charlie Isaacs - haha! - clive boulton

at @techcrunch isn't it boring just talking about how Twitter, Facebook and Apple will dominate forever? - Charlie Isaacs

what the hell happened to this show - Kenny

"at @" ? Is that some convention I'm not familiar with? - coldbrew

sorry, twitter handle - Charlie Isaacs

Is Robert leaving on a Spaceship? Building 51 - Moe Glitz

My point, I suppose, was to pick a convention. - coldbrew

What's the Arrington Aol countdown? 803 days? - coldbrew

that's what they used to say when they found out you were from Chicago - at-@-at-@ (machine gun noises) ~ MJ changed that - Jerome Hughes

techcrunch needs a techcrunch asia - and what's happening in the developing world - Michael Roberts

difference of opinion is good! - Jerome Hughes

Circles on Facebook happened last week http://circlehack.com - Kevin Marks

any one gonna be on hangout now ?? - Abhijeet Desai

is AOL still in business? do I still need a 300 baud modem to connect? - Charlie Isaacs

Google+ is not a good name. Don't like pressing the + button on my keyboard! - Moe Glitz

"plus a month"? Someone's counting something. - coldbrew

join the hangout guys to talk tech https://talkgadget.google.com/hangout... - Abhijeet Desai

iPad Yachting apps? - Kevin Marks

we never see Mike Arrington out and about in Sea-at-le - clive boulton

Desai: I've never had a camera attached to my machine, but I'm sure others might appreciate that. - coldbrew

I always get my info from floridians... - coldbrew

HA! - Kenny

Wow, can we please cool the ad hominems? - coldbrew

They're allowed to convict on circumstantial evidence (I think juries get confused about that); but they do have to be convinced that it's "clear and convincing" the person did the crime. - Denise Howell

sorry, yes "beyond a reasonable doubt;" "clear and convincing's" a lower std. - Denise Howell

Torvalds for president ;) - coldbrew

differences of opinion are good! - Jerome Hughes

Oh, he caused the deficit or presdied over the derivative scandals and crime? He caused that? Geez - dlature

Why tax me...I earned my money - Kenny

If you make a lot of money... hire people! - Tina Chase Gillmor

instead .001% voted themselves all the money - Kevin Marks

thank you Shrub for all the "success" you've wrought! - Jerome Hughes

I drove to the tip of Baja in April of '03 (~Iraq Invasion), sold my truck, and boated/ hitchhiked to Bolivia, and then I chickened out and came home to the US after one year of subsistence farming. - coldbrew

and get around obstruction to set such rules - Jerome Hughes

the bankers should serve as much jail time as murderers like in the Casey Anthony trial - Charlie Isaacs

how is the US in great shape? compared to Europe? isn't 1 in 4 houses in the US. near foreclosure? - Michael Roberts

that was supposed to be funny btw - Charlie Isaacs

Robert what happens to Kennedy Space center - Disney East? - clive boulton

So Arrington wants more rules - that takes enforcement - that takes more government... - mal

Mike - you should run! - Kenny

Tina, you got them to switch sides! :D - Jerome Hughes

mal: that's not a fair characterization. - coldbrew

you'll pay more in Canada? - Michael Roberts

Canada/Belgium can be economically blocked. And French people don't care to move to Belgium. I say let's tax Michael Arrington more. - Charbax

coldbrew: why not? - mal

I will let him answer that, before I attempt to do so. - coldbrew

Warren Buffett: I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. http://bit.ly/oaBXOc - clive boulton

we talked about the Casey Anthony Trial and Politics. Can we talk about my root canal next? - Charlie Isaacs

regarding taxes, if there is a tax on income that's not going to work wealthy people just reduce their income to 0... - mal

Jerome LOL - Tina Chase Gillmor

Charbax: Are you a US citizen? I thought you live in CA? - coldbrew

No idea how Steve Gillmor's gonna recap this episode for Techcrunch. - clive boulton

Kyle, I was trying to get some reasons for the huge difference between the both platforms (in the Scoble post) --but in any case I totally agree with you about the filtering (and the UI overall, great execution). I think this small-but-important things will give G+ a great advantage over other platforms. Really impressive. - david medina
