I think it would have been more realistic if the sleep panel still had the stick figure sitting at the computer dreaming of being in bed. I've been "falling asleep at the wheel" a lot lately myself. - Larry Kless
ha... there was a time in the 1980s when my life was more like this. Stuck this week at Harbin Hot Springs, where I have to drive 5 miles for cell phone and/or wireless, so it's kind of a major <bummer> hassle... Enviously of all of you guys on-line! - Mitchell Tsai
It’s interesting to see the need to justify enterprise needs of such tools that are already being adopted by consumers, typical of enterprise settings (I’m a former enterprise intranet manager). With that said, let’s start the definitive list. - Nicole Simon
Don compared Digital Natives from ten countries. Result: There are more similarities than differences. And: This generation is the first ever "global generation". His new book will be out soon! - Timo Heuer

I got a friendly mail from Greg, who runs Mento.info that Mento will now pull in comments and likes from FriendFeed that have been made on your Mento bookmarks. (Mento is an awesome link sharing service that integrates with delicious.com, Tumblr, Magnolia, Skitch, Twitter and FriendFeed) - Lars Trieloff

Very interesting to see. Maybe I should give Mento a second try, as I was not too happy with it at first sight. - Matthias Schwenk
Mento has become my primary hub for sharing links. I think I am using it for each and every FriendFeed post, and this feedback channels makes it even more useful. - Lars Trieloff
Viel positive Wirkung brachte sicher der Artikel von Christiane Schulzki-Haddouti auf heise.de. Reichweite ist eben alles - auch in Zeiten des Web 2.0! - Matthias Schwenk
Now there's something: the product meme is already down track before the product itself gets out of the gate. Not so 'Cuil' in this case. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
i had a similar experience with a not so techy friend.... he said he saw it on TV - Azeem
Ha! Lots of newspapers and websites in India carried the supposedly 'Google Killer' and I took the bait only to be extremely disappointed! - chendur venkatraman

mit HTML5 können ja fast alle Seitenelemente zum Hyperlink werden – ich finde, man sollte dann ganz individuell "alles liken" können … Liebe für alle <3 - Frank Westphal
I am not going to blame techmeme directly, but news aggregators have this problem in general with "breaking" news. It is not something that is solved easily. - Rob Diana
And I also noticed that mashable rarely gets a top story on TechMeme now. Not sure why. - Rob Diana
Oh, but look! Someone finally cares about Dell! Maybe it's just slow and tired? - Cyndy
Cyndy, or maybe it was written about on the list of "in" sites :-) - Duncan Riley
another hour, still not on Techmeme. There are pages upon pages on GBlogsearch talking about this now. It is THE story, and yet, unless it comes from god, no play - Duncan Riley
Weird. The link didn't work for me. Went to the blog but message said item was gone. *shrug* - Cindy Stanford ~ hci

Thanks for the heads up on this, Duncan. - Warner Crocker
Echoing @Warner Crocker sentiments: thank you, Duncan. Gave you credit in post here: http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20... EDIT: there are a couple different fixes, BTW, for people who want to keep the site meter tracking, but don't want the IE7 error. Also an IE7 hack to view sites that haven't fixed the tracking code yet. - TDavid
This problem could be solved with software Duncan, identify a small group of editors who can vote up a story to put it on the home page of some (new) news site. It would be no better or worse than TechMeme, which does appear to have a similar editorial process. As you point out, just publishing a story on TechCrunch is enough to move it to the top on TM. So that's Coke, start Pepesi. - Dave Winer
BTW, it's the easiest way to get TC/M to change -- people listen to their competitors much more carefully than they listen to their friends. - Dave Winer
Duncan as Marc Canter would say prior to a disagreement..:Duncan I love you man but.. I think that you're wrong on this one.. it's not Gabe's responsibility to build your community. That's your job. It's unfair to Gabe to say he's letting down his community because you can't get linkage. Gabe has never tried to be like Google news. That being said masterful linkbait..kudos on linkbait; wrong on Techmeme - John Furrier
Whether someone is manually inserting stories into Techmeme or doing so algorithmically, not everyone is going to be satisfied with the filtered/prioritized list results. I do want to point out that Dave's vote/up down news listing service could also be a feed into Techmeme and it might help with some ranking rather than just something that replaces it. I see services like this potentially more simbiotic than purely competitive. - Loren Heiny
Does anyone have other recommendations for blog editors in the app store or feedback on the wordpress solution? - Frankie Warren
The WP app is solid (disclosure - I made the screencast and have been playing with the different builds). Not on my in-phone app store yet either, I had to go to iTunes to find it. - Michael Pick

It's good they are going open source. I hope they don't get in trouble with Apple for breaking their NDA (not sure if it forbids open sourcing your code). - Ole Begemann
Re: other solutions - not many I've seen. Shozu worth a go maybe (seems to support blogger, WP etc.) - Michael Pick
via twhirl
I was getting ready to open a Tumblr blog for mobile use. This will make me rethink the platform. Set up one of my WP 2.6 self-hosted sites on the new mobile app, and it seems to work quite well. Very nice. - Chris Baskind
Is an application which comes wrapped in DRM really "open source"? - Ian Betteridge
@Richard I was able to install it this morning from the French iTunes Store. - Olivier Tharan
Ian: good point and probably debatable. I'm no licensing expert. Ironically, since Apple's DRM seems to be incompatible with the GPL, if Wordpress released their source code under the GPL, developers who use that code in their own applications would be required to release theirs under GPL, as well, which might not be possible with Apple's DRM. I'm not certain that's true, though. - Ole Begemann
@Oliver Got it off the UK store last night. Nice little app. - Richard Peat
