• A lot can change in a year. YouTube has given way to Hulu and Twitter has jumped the shark on Oprah. Social Media != Democracy #
• I still haven’t given up on democratization of profits though I will still be working hard to make sure my service spreads wealth. #
• @kshakir If you follow the trends there will be more applications for micro format / mobile applications. Huge silos will monetize or die. in reply to kshakir #
• Entertainment classically converts unproductive hours of the audience into wealth for the provider. Twitter “steals” productive hours… #
• Twitter is adult play. #
• @niquy_nikki I say that tongue in cheek. It’s like having a great conversations with people you see every morning in the coffee shop 24/7 in reply to niquy_nikki #
• @niquy_nikki This characterization of Twitter is before we include CNN/Oprah/celebs/ballers/celeb assistants/marketers/spammers/bots in reply to niquy_nikki #
• So far the 30% retention rate of Twitter suggest people are too busy to play or 140 characters in fact does not compete with Facebook #
• @JWASHMARKETING You also have “marketing” in your handle, JK Does getting the most from Twitter mandate use during working hours ? in reply to JWASHMARKETING #
• Thanks to all for the lively discussion on all things Twitter. Back to the grind, wrapping up some UI changes today. #

• Checking in some massive pre-launch changes. SVN cache is going nuts with 100% CPU utilization. Getting close, so close. #
• So does seesmic have a shot? I see a lot of dev talent producing results, but I don’t see user growth or revenue. Loic is cool though. #
• i guess I really don’t get how the whole Twitter ecosystem cashes in. This comes from a guy who has a product that integrates with Twitter! #
• Kujo, my cat is going crazy. Pebbles, my Russian Blue, is just staring at both of us. OK, this means it’s time to hi the hay. #
• Got a good bit of work done today. A lot of feed processing optimizations and front end UI work is solid. Checked in all the work. #
• Wow, just went through my followers list. Missed a ton of real people since I last did a mass follow. Thanks everyone, hitting the hay now #
• RT @mashable 12 Inspiring Stories of Successful Social Networkers http://bit.ly/wRiqD (via @tweetmeme) #
• Swine Flu is just a test run for something much worst… #
• Mexicans have died from their immune response,not the flu itself.This means the industrial agrifarms have leaked close cousins for some time #
• The slow burn responses to swine flu outside of Mexico are evidence of the lack of a novel immune response to the virus.It clears like most #
• Duplicate detection algorithm is a lot better now. Now I need to add caching to it and I’ll be all set on that front. #

• Enjoying fun and sun at Walden Pond #

• Feedbot refactoring went well so now I should be able to support the addition of arbitrary feeds. Time to test things out. #
• So learned a lot about RSS enclosures last night. Basically saw the right way to produce a feed that is shared in a Web 3.0 world. #
• When it comes to relationships you have to challenge each other’s belief systems. They need to be compatible in the end. #
• Some people choose to have adversarial relationships with the people closest to them. This is lose-lose and waste time and emotional energy #
• The world is hard enough on its own. People who acknowledge this fact and attempt to make your world easier are keepers. #
• OK, time to bury my head in the sand and get some real work done. Need to ignore the Silicon Valley Echo Chamber and get back to basics. #
• When the biggest story is whether a second rate actor will surpass an old media cable news channel’s Twitter account you know it’s time. #
• Don’t get me wrong, I like Mr. Kutcher…but is this representative of the promise of social media? Where celebrities and media empires rule #
• In an enlightened move I have decided to remove community photos from the homepage. Control your brand. Twitter use to have a public feed #
• The video “Twitter in Plain English” by Common Craft is no longer Twitter. What do Ashton Kutcher and CNN have to do with friends? #

• Making some revisions to feedbot #

• Using fragment identifiers for cross domain iframe communication. Where there is a will there is a way and the job board is in! #

• Just added myself to the http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #entrepreneur #news #socialmedia #

• Just finished a wonderful first Passover meal with friends. It was amazing, thanks Shanna and Michele. #
