"That's the key to having it all: stop expecting it to look like what you thought it was going to look like." - Andrew Badera via Bookmarklet

"You can now initiate payments via twitter. For example, tweeting "p @ev $1 because twitter is fun" would send $1 from your Tipjoy account to @ev." - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet

Wow!!! - Panayotis Vryonis

So, how discrete is it? Everytime I send money, the whole world sees it, or works like d? - Nikos Anagnostou

Easier way! Wish it be an alternative to service like paypal. - K.D.

"If building a webpart for SharePoint Online is your goal, you should look no further than the mantra no assemblies required. I did a post by that same title where I speak of assembliless internet widgets that are essentially lightweight javascript widgets which essentially pass a few variables to a secondary server. As the move to the Online space with Azure and SharePoint and Exchange online. I expect to see partners and developers trying and wrap their head around this space. So far, I haven't seen anything impressive in terms of integration and real development in the hosted space. (LiteSuite, is a noble attempt at seeing SharePoint facebook integration, the charts look nice but it's so new I haven't heard about it yet.) I'm hoping this will kick off some thinking." - Andrew Badera via Bookmarklet

I really like Peoplebrowsr and think it fills the gaps so many people have been whinging about. - Nicola Quinn

PeopleBrowsr FTW, that's for sure - Sociosophy Reviews via twhirl

now we need a peoplebrowsr desktop client! - sixbit

right next to Larry and Sergey - Bob

It's true Nokia has a massive footprint. But many people who have even the S60 smartphones don't even know how to install apps, and you can forget about the S40 users :-). - sixbit

sixbit: I'm assuming you've never used the Nokia Application Installer via PC Suite or Ovi? It's mindless and fast. Also, apps can be installed from the phone-based browser. - Sociosophy Reviews

I'd do it in a heartbeat! - AJ Batac

Sounds like his evening hobby for the next few months! - Ladybug Heather

I'm almost certain there's software than can match up the pieces if you feed it pictures - Frederick Akalin

So far, the commenters on my site _don't_ want Twitter and FriendFeed to go mainstream. Do you want to keep these technologies to yourself? - Louis Gray

OTOH, is text messaging considered mainstream yet in the U.S.? (I realize we lag way behind the rest of the world in this.) I don't think the "mainstream" can handle more than one technological breakthrough at a time :) I still know people who are even just getting used to using a computer. - Victor Ganata

@Bob I think Twitter is so powerful that it can be used for many different purposes. Imagine a multi-dimensional Twitter with single or more refined services. For local councils, government, media companies, business services, geeks, gossip, etc. Each with their own customised Twitter serving their needs. This is where Twitter will produce an income stream; hiving itself off into customized services, without the noise. - Chris Loft

See this is what I missed when I was using Napster -- pumping likes/dislikes into FriendFeed for sharing :) - Andrew Badera

It's bad times...... - yanchao

The guy at dinner that Robert mentions was Jordi Soler (@jordisoler). He's really remarkable. He's running a family-owned business that trucks containers around Europe, and is totally plugged into the web tech scene, reading all sorts of blogs, signed up to lots of services, etc. And a really nice guy. - Terry Jones

I'm the guy working at the docks. The Tweetup was excellent and I learned a lot about startups with you guys. As to the economic situation, yes, here in Barcelona times are pretty rough right now. I'm still holding up because I have a little family business, but right now big companies are suffering a lot and firing workers. Business is clearly slowing down and we can only hope that the situation recovers soon. - Jordi Soler

"So they pull up behind a state trooper to ask for his help in getting to the hospital. Do they get his help? They do not. They get a ticket instead, for $100, and have to wait while the cop finishes the ticket he was already writing for someone else. And after this woman in labor and her husband have been made to cool their heels and have been slapped with a $100 dollar ticket -- after all that -- the trooper tops it off by asking Jennifer Davis, the woman in question, to prove she was pregnant." - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

Poopercop ought to be forced to grind his badge into dust with a cheese grater. - MiɳiMagɘ (AlwaysMiniMage)

Bad time to run into a black and white thinker. - Internet Strategist

I think a lot of people might wonder what Google is doing with 20,000 employees that they weren't doing with 5,000 employees. - Chris White

This is a terribly written article. - Frederick Akalin
