"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
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.

Leo, could you explain me how to insert audio in the posts like you please? - Didier Lahely
It probably has to do with enclosures in the RSS feed. - Jason Huebel
I'd like to know also, if you get a chance - Tom Mack
If the audio is in the feed, FF will put the player in itself. I have my Utterz feed listed in FF, and when I leave an audio post FF puts that little player in too. - Ciaoenrico
Please change "Steve Gibson's comments" to "Steve Gillmor's comments" on the description page for this episode. :) - Dr. Apps via twhirl
Rest in peace Pownce... - Kyle DeFacis
Really nce discussion of Friend Feed - Nice Fish Films
Any link to a valid mp3 file that is part of the body text in an RSS feed will show up like this automatically once it is imported into FriendFeed. PS - come listen to the FFundercats podcast, all about FriendFeed! http://ffundercats.com - Josh Haley
Thanks pals, +1 Ciaoenrico, Josh Haley... And thanks, Leo... - Didier Lahely

Sleep all day - Corvida via twhirl
Like you, I would do some freelance work. I can live without the office interactions, as I can see enough people when I go to the store or cafe. - Rob Diana
I would totally enjoy life through other types of activities. And freelance work is key, research in my case too. - Zu aka ElijahBailey
Art and volunteer work. I'm going into the field of disaster relief and aid work though so I guess my answer is that you don't ever have to work if you find a job that fulfills you and makes you happy. :) - Rachel Dixon
Two chicks at the same time? Oh wait, that's if I had a million dollars... - Ben Jackson via twhirl
We don't really have to work for someone else. We have just been conditioned think we have to go to college, get in debt, get tracked in the system as wage slaves. You could stay home, plant a garden, raise a few chickens for eggs, goats for milk, maybe a calf or two, make a little money here or there. - Internet Strategist

“What is it about RSS GUIDs that makes people think that they should change them every few months?”
yesterday at 1:16 am - Link
I am that way about people changing (or not supporting) urls indefinitely. I think people iteratively implement technologies. It's easy to throw up an RSS feed, but it takes thought into tuning it to your app. What feeds do you use to access delicious.com, btw? (we can talk offline if you want) Our "default" feed at the moment is RSS 1.0 which I don't think supports GUID, but our RSS2 uses them... and I verified just now that they are unique enough and we don't plan on changing them any time ... ever? - Dave Dash
"unique enough"? - Gabe
What's the matter, Gabe? Is something about that phrase not sufficiently perfect? - Bruce Lewis
How unique is unique enough? Seeing as how the whole point of a GUID is to be unique. - Gabe
"Sufficiently perfect" was supposed to be a joke, but I didn't make my humor unmistakable enough. (None of this is meant as a slight on either Gabe or Dave; I'm just in a silly mood tonight.) - Bruce Lewis
I think it's mainly that stream-oriented processing of feeds is so different from normal web development, where the only history that reallly matters is not breaking links (and even then you can change urls if you leave redirects behind). Also, for a while the dominant consumers of feeds were snapshot-oriented (e.g. My Yahoo, igoogle), so there was little incentive to get GUIDs right. It's getting better, though. We're not seeing as many cases of GUID abuse now as we did in the early days of Google Reader. - Ben Darnell

"Why are you focusing on acquisitions? There are profitable companies that remain private, like 37signals (plus ones you never hear about because there's no point in talking about how much money you make) and also IPO, which is rare but potentially huge. Google alone is worth $86B, at that IPO was only 4 years ago, so your "$10B in the past 5 years" number is clearly incomplete." - Paul Buchheit

"The current generation of founders want to raise money from VCs, and Sequoia specifically, because Larry and Sergey took money from VCs, and Sequoia specifically. Imagine what it would do to the VC business if the next hot company didn't take VC at all." - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
no .. people with more money than they need, want still more .. vc is often a subset of that - Gregory Lent

I was looking at the thumbnail of the photo wondering what restaurant you were at, and then when I looked at the full-size version I was all "holy sh*t!" - Paul Wilcox
As it appears Jim is once again the one facing the wrong way in a FF photo, does this make him the Judas of the FriendFeed Last Supper, and if so whom will he betray? - Steve Craft
Paul, That's awesome! That would be restaurant Chez Fox. - Rachel Lea Fox
What a crew! - Ray Chen
