"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.

Leo, could you explain me how to insert audio in the posts like you please? - Didier Lahely

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

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

So great. - Mike Doeff

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

"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

Wait, we didn't get the memo...;) - Josh Haley

What a crew! - Ray Chen

I'm not in the picture. I took it...... .... .... . .(I'm the waiter) :D - AJ Batac

""... Tipjoy now allows payments via Twitter ..." Go Abby & Ivan" - Peter Renshaw
