  1. @ScepticGeek On FF I actually maintain a very small "home-list", but if I'd do this here it would be out in public. My home list is private. about 5 hours ago from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  2. @ScepticGeek I'm trying out what's the best way to follow now there are lists. I kind of like following no-one! Just like an empty desktop. about 5 hours ago from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  3. ..Turns out "East Anglia" is a region in England; not a small country somewhere in central Africa, as I had mistakenly assumed a while ago. 11:54 AM Nov 13th from web
  4. I find myself getting increasingly attached to @evernote as a general purpose notebook. Simple yet powerful tool. http://evernote.com/ 7:22 AM Nov 13th from web
  5. @frankejames i.e. potentially we could all fly on biofuels. But then this fuel would not be available for shopping trips by car. 7:52 AM Nov 11th from Brizzly in reply to frankejames
  6. @frankejames Travel for true social purposes (family, friends) will be hard to give up. Let's hope we can keep this possible. 7:49 AM Nov 11th from Brizzly in reply to frankejames
  7. @frankejames I'd say going (nearly) vegetarian is together with stopping flying and driving the two/three best things an individual can do. 7:15 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to frankejames
  8. @ScepticGeek Sorry, I meant my statement with regard to looking at FF culture only with regard to retweets, b/c of FriendFeed's likes. 7:03 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  9. @ScepticGeek Still, unless Twitter incorporates something like TinyThread into its UI, we won't see convo around a-list/celebs like on FF. 6:53 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  10. @ScepticGeek Celebrities certainly are something unique to Twitter. Yet they're not spammers. They just have a lot of followers. 6:51 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  11. @ScepticGeek I don't think spam and SEO influences the regular Twitter experience much, aside from the spam in public timeline search. 6:37 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  12. OMG, I'm having sort of a meaningful conversation on Twitter. Despite what I thought, it *is* possible after all. Within limits. 6:27 AM Nov 11th from web
  13. @ScepticGeek So IMO, not much use looking at *current* Twitter culture for predicting the future. Better look at FriendFeed culture. 6:25 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  14. @ScepticGeek Indeed. Yet I think as Twitter starts to resemble FriendFeed more closely on the technical front, culture will follow too. 6:24 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  15. @ScepticGeek I bet on increase. I've always considered retweets to look a bit messy. Now I think I'll hit retweet on Tweetmeme now and then. 6:18 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  16. @ScepticGeek Hmm, I hadn't thought of that effect. :) Indeed the option of using a retweet as an "easy/lazy tweet" will be gone. 6:16 AM Nov 11th from web in reply to ScepticGeek
  17. @ScepticGeek RT'ing will become a one-click operation, just like FriendFeed's likes. That will surely increase its use. 6:14 AM Nov 11th from FriendFeed in reply to ScepticGeek
  18. @ScepticGeek With the native-RT feature, we may see the balance between tweets and RT's diverge wildy for some users. 6:08 AM Nov 11th from FriendFeed in reply to ScepticGeek
  19. "Our entire short-termist operating system is rotten and suicidal." - Jeremy Leggett in @datelineSBS interview, nov 15. http://bit.ly/2Q1odi 5:05 AM Nov 11th from web
  20. Received my first spam comment on my Posterous blog. Yay. 4:47 AM Nov 11th from web
