Gillmor Gang, Live Recording Session at 1pm PT. Participate at http://www.building43.com/realtim...
I'm waiting for the call. I'm broadcasting from the Bing mapping team's building in Boulder, CO.
- Robert Scoble
Today Bret Taylor, CTO at Facebook, should be on the call.
- Robert Scoble
Yes! 8)
- Zu from AOD
Interesting that I'm sitting about 20 feet from a new secret camera that Microsoft is using in the war with Google. Interesting technologists here in Boulder, CO, who are doing all sorts of cool things with maps.
- Robert Scoble
They also designed the aerial camera for the planes. They are going to do something never done before: shoot the entire USA in 18 months. Previously it took 10 years.
- Robert Scoble
In the secret camera that goes on cars they are including new high res cameras, and they use lasers and lidar (I don't know if I spelled that right) to make a 3D image of the street as they go down. Really cool tech. I wish I could show it to you but they don't want to give Google any ideas for how to improve their cameras.
- Robert Scoble
Sorry for the delay, Steve is trying to get everyone on.
- Robert Scoble
Bret Taylor might not be able to join us today.
- Robert Scoble
Anyway, the team at Microsoft that I'm meeting with is also the team that developed its data center tech, and lots of processing tech.
- Robert Scoble
Jean: do you have the Ustream.tv iPhone app? It might be there, not sure. That app really sucks.
- Robert Scoble
Wow, HP's CEO just resigned over sexual harrassment accusations.
- Robert Scoble
So says Business Insider.
- Robert Scoble
Bret Taylor is joining us. One minute away.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, Bret's on, I'm teased and is listening bits from the office, won't be for the whole duration for now though.
- Zu from AOD
Yep, I agree, FF's successful in its technological POV, and not for the userbase, which makes it last with the years.
- Zu from AOD
The way the feed works on FB is interesting as the bumps are 'somewhat' static, and like how the new posts are coming out with the latest iterations. Yep, foursquare integration with FB had slowed down the need for a 'fb-location' feature.
- Zu from AOD
lol @Scoble screwing his social graph. Yeah, the mobile interface has support for Friend Lists. Props @Bret for understanding the 'daily user' vs. the 'social obligation user' which is rarely connected. I think there's already elements that's keeps the last user you interacted with in reverse chrono order. Just pages are over that..
- Zu from AOD
@Scoble - you going to talk about the new Twitter User Stream changes? for me this has made Twitter a whole new site again
- Nick Halstead
@scoble - specifically TweetDeck / Echofon support - I could never go back now that I am using it
- Nick Halstead
Nick: agreed. Although I don't have time to talk about that today.
- Robert Scoble
For French-Canadians, there's a FriendFeedization of the users, which was nonexistent before FB's likes, and is getting a lot more traction for the past 6 months for it's "static news feed + notifications" model.
- Zu from AOD
Excuse me Bret - unique? ever heard of the Retweet Button?
- Nick Halstead
We have been collecting the explicit liking of items + RDF data from those actions for 1 and half years.
- Nick Halstead
Caught end of the show but always great to see Bret on the show!
