Noooo - don't you know I have work to do today!
- Laura Norvig
Laura - well, there's always the release version ... but maybe not as fun as the live recording session, right?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I'm ready. Just starting to feel better after a 48hr bug. Ready for some energy!
- Dale Lature
I like the new test pattern.
- Dale Lature
Happy Friday!

- Aron Michalski
thank you Alex... hope we'll get to it
- Tina Chase Gillmor
HuffPo?
- Ian Waring
Steve Alex has a nice blog post on his Oscar picks.
- Tina Chase Gillmor
one of the reasons to watch live is, you'll never get around to it if you don't do it then. Live chat is great too, though.
- Laura Norvig
Twitter UI is getting worse and worse... wife gave up on it this am
- Ian Waring
FT.com app is global, but missing live comments like GG http://video.ft.com/
- clive boulton
Hangouts during the Oscars?
- Murray Macdonald
hate how Twitter UI has spawned 2 ways to edit profile, settings menu, and click on profile
- clive boulton
Hi Hi Aron
- Tina Chase Gillmor
hah it was 8 years ago: http://epeus.blogspot.com/2006...
- Kevin Marks
we all need tricasters!
- Tom Guarriello
Dan -- the other way
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Twitter feed keeps on being polluted with more and more suggestion spam
- Ian Waring
had a great chat with Andy Carvin about this in 2011: http://tummelvision.tv/2011...
- Kevin Marks
Video has to come from a meaningful source. I want international news, live from the source. Commentary should be like captioning, something I can turn on and off. I'd love the be able to watch live sports with sound without commentary.
- Murray Macdonald
Dan - if you can center yourself more that would be great ;-0
- Tina Chase Gillmor
That's why I follow the Storyful G+ community. The issue is that I don't want rumor, otherwise I might as well watch Fox News
- Daniel W. Crompton
Nice thing about FB taking over WhatsApp is that the WhatsApp CEO now on the FB board is anti Advertising - detracts from the user experience in his view
- Ian Waring
It would be nice to do occasionally maybe
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Storyful Community is https://plus.google.com/u...
- Daniel W. Crompton
we did it on tummelvision a couple of times
- Kevin Marks
but it's an unknown and may not work in the context of show feel
- Tina Chase Gillmor
we were chatting with Paul Ford, and Andy Baio joined in the chatroom, and called him up to join us
- Kevin Marks
sometimes hard to control
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Voice recognition is great. I use it all the time for writing text messages.
- Murray Macdonald
Twitter and it's notification role has become mostly irrelevant for me. Perhaps I should sluff off a great deal of the follows and reboot my involvement with it.
- Aron Michalski
live is always noisy
- Tom Guarriello
OK Google voice recognition feature now available on Google Chrome.
- Nir Ben Yona
reverse auto-correct
- Jerome Hughes
Nir. I believe it's only in the beta at this point.
- Murray Macdonald
Bringing people in is certainly easy to do with Google Hangouts, but yeah, it is an unknown.
- Laura Norvig
ephemeral video news channel (watch out for chatroulette waving penises)
- clive boulton
My Nexus 5 now accepts OK Google in the launcher all the time. Just need it to scream "Psst - this news has just happened". One sentence...
- Ian Waring
Murray, yeah but I believe you can already download it on chrome's online store.
- Nir Ben Yona
Cool.
- Murray Macdonald
SMS a short video clip
- Ian Waring
it's not that it's hard to do. it's not. it's more about keeping a show together content wise and entertainment-wise. may not seem like a big thing but it is
- Tina Chase Gillmor
didn't Danny Sullivan do something like that too?
- Tom Guarriello
Google Voice Search Hotword (Beta) for chrome: http://bit.ly/1csuPBw
- Nir Ben Yona
are you getting wind noise from me?
- Kevin Marks
What is required is a thing that automatically finds and sources appropriate content for you and cuts it into a feed.
- Murray Macdonald
Did Danny? Really?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin: not me
- Daniel W. Crompton
Right, need a live, human curator to keep the penises out, keep the quality in.
- Laura Norvig
Kevin not too much
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin: Nope.
- Nir Ben Yona
more birds than wind.
- Aron Michalski
vaguely remember something like that, Tina
- Tom Guarriello
well, I'm muting. I'm getting the 'can't hear other people" thing
- Kevin Marks
show link please post http://techcrunch.com/2014...
- Tina Chase Gillmor
bingo
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Kevin - I know. I'm starting to think that's a Skype thing. let's look at that after the show
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Aljazeera, real-time comments end up on Twitter... http://america.aljazeera.com/article...
- clive boulton
Channel 4 here do a "news update in 60 seconds" that works well. Good if you could ask for that on demand.
- Ian Waring
Ian... that's interesting
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Just got to lego brick bits together throughout the day.
- Ian Waring
that's what he did, the bombing
- Tom Guarriello
How about the BitCoin problems? Predictions?
- Murray Macdonald
Once an editor, always an editor

"expertise" becoming a very controversial concept
- Tom Guarriello
I still call it the Toaster
- Tina Chase Gillmor
sounds like keith wants stack overflow
- Kevin Marks
we all want to capture magic
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Neither will Offshore & Swiss Banking Groups
- Moe Glitz
Lots of software developers still use Yahoo Groups, GitHub, and Google+ for specific expertise. Things like OpenCV depend on it.
- Murray Macdonald
Quora started to be just that
- Ankush Narula
yes trust. It is key
- Tina Chase Gillmor
quora seemed broad compared to stackexchange
- Ankush Narula
It means no worries
- Moe Glitz
BitCoin, was always a Kobayashi Maru, with hedge fund managers and their lawyers, the dark side may win.
- clive boulton
http://seriouslywine.com - my curated site. Looks great on Fliboard just add @seriouslywine from Twitter
- Keith Teare
What social network allows me to subscribe to portions of a person? I want to see someone's tech postings, but not their politics or food photos.
- Murray Macdonald
Facebook shares will go down after that comment
- Moe Glitz
never believe what people say they will do, very little relationship to what we really do
- Tom Guarriello
Murray - I wish Facebook would allow for this. seems like it would be easy
- Tina Chase Gillmor
this is hilarious https://twitter.com/danbark...
- Kevin Marks
Enron shareholders lost too. Watch what you invest it.
- Murray Macdonald

- Kevin Marks
and Murray I agree with you
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Bitcoin Merchant Process is very simple - got the ability to put collection on my web site within 5 mins
- Ian Waring
It's a lossy transport protocol?
- Murray Macdonald
No transaction frees
- Ian Waring
money flows like email
- Ian Waring
@Tom, "expertise" . yes, using experience on my linkedin
- clive boulton
but how much international buying would you have to do to make that important?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
for business maybe
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Yes. Credit Card companies and Banks ripe to be disinter-mediated by telcos.
- Murray Macdonald
I'll wait for the intergalactic currency ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
When transaction volumes reach Visa/MC levels, blockchain will get much bigger
- Ian Waring
an anonymized ledger of who has what coin
- Ankush Narula
not wholly aonymized
- Kevin Marks
so bitcoin is a hot potato form of money
- Tom Guarriello
telcos wholly incapable of doing it
- Kevin Marks
so is cash.
- Murray Macdonald
Still think that Bitcoin will fall to bits in the near future
- Moe Glitz
Gotcha for govts is that it's not deflationary
- Ian Waring
Yes
- Ian Waring
Moe - why?
- Ankush Narula
US disconnected from Gold too
- Ian Waring
the US also tied oil to the dollar
- Ankush Narula
Fresh water will be the new gold standard.
- Murray Macdonald
Murray +1
- Ankush Narula
Bitcoin will only gain the trust of everyone when it becomes a Mobile App
- Moe Glitz
about 6% of bitcoins
- Kevin Marks
+1 for sure Murray
- Tom Guarriello
Chinese developer visiting CoinLab refused entry at Seatac airport had 1,000 bitcoins + $250 cash
- clive boulton
Like the US dollar then!
- Ian Waring
Wall Street was stolen, but it went to mainstreet home owners who sold at inflated prices.
- Murray Macdonald
Regulation and instant access to your finances at all times
- Moe Glitz
mimi trying to pick her way into the studio
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I'm a fan of slight economic delays as a form of hysteresis.
- Murray Macdonald
PayPal App will always be more reliable than Bitcoin
- Moe Glitz
Ledger is distributed over many nodes
- Ian Waring
that sounds reassuring...NarcoCoin
- Tom Guarriello
Wearables will be the future wallet. They're not in the cloud. Hard to steal yet easy to back up.
- Murray Macdonald
WhatsApp guy says their future is mobile payments!
- Ian Waring
So it all loops back
- Ian Waring
PayPal was a sponsor fo the bitcoin event last night my notes: http://www.kevinmarks.com/bitcoin...
- Kevin Marks
Software Assurance
- Ian Waring
Borthwick's homepage analysis showed 0% MS apps on home pages of mobile devices. wow
- Tom Guarriello
Microsoft have been too quiet
- Ian Waring
they don't really make any iPhone apps, do they?
- Kevin Marks
no, but plenty of Google apps, Kevin
- Tom Guarriello
Skype was in it, no?
- Kevin Marks
MS should make Windows and Office a totally free environment.
- Murray Macdonald
Nokia X is interesting - Android with MS cloud services
- Ian Waring
However, Lumia with no apps is no useful upgrade pat
- Ian Waring
path
- Ian Waring
essentially 0 skype mobile in John's sample
- Tom Guarriello
free for those stuck on Win 7 or 8
- Jerome Hughes
10% skype
- Kevin Marks
Both Windows and Office are stuck in the dark desktop enterprise days

How about the $25 firefox HTML5 phone?
- Murray Macdonald
Where does Android go next?
- Ian Waring
Everywhere.
- Murray Macdonald
the picking (cat outside) has turned to meowing. she doesn't usually do that. What the problem, Mimi? rain?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Except Chinese Android
- Ian Waring
Exactly Keith. Ads go away.
- Ian Waring
maps search is key on mobile, and google is great at that
- Kevin Marks
The model will be contextual awareness, not search/advertising.
- Murray Macdonald
That's why Zuckerberg putting the WhatsApp guy on the board of FB is radical
- Ian Waring
@Steve: Like spend $19 BILLION for a chat app?
- J.C. Bouvier
Andreessen piece also very clearly had "ads are dead" message
- Tom Guarriello
Beacons are just a commodity component. They do nothing without an APP. You need to have an APP installed.
- Murray Macdonald
ads on media are dead; search ads less so
- Kevin Marks
and contextual search (or recommendation) matter
- Kevin Marks
Google current model is monetising purchase intents
- Ian Waring
One position is being the back end last mile for all retailers except Amazon
- Ian Waring
and a navigation intent is an implicit purchase extent too
- Kevin Marks
Trying to figure where Robotics etc play in their future
- Ian Waring
But there is no such common software... You need to have the retailer's app installed.
- Murray Macdonald
make it blue!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Beacons will be big, if unwanted messaging doesn't overpower you. Beacon and Spam is not a good menu
- Moe Glitz
Murray - "No Comment" :-)
- Keith Teare
no trappings
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Steve just listens to Imagine
- Kevin Marks
not the address book, the recent interaction history
- Kevin Marks
Both I'd say Kevin
- Keith Teare
Even LinkedIn on Android asked to access my call records - declined/removed here
- Ian Waring
It should be called Virtual Currency, not BitCoin as there are many. It would be sad to paint them all with the same brush.
- Murray Macdonald
DogeCoin
- Kevin Marks
The ideas of Bitcoin remixed inside a Mobile App could be huge
- Moe Glitz
Even with Starbucks on board?
- Ian Waring
one last night was doing bitcoin in a debit card
- Kevin Marks
