Robert - are you really starting to talk about web 3.0? Could we really be turning the corner? Finally! I'm quite sick of 2.0. I think you are on to something with your current line of thinking. 3.0 is all about the emerging universe of friend-based networks and a lot less about AJAX and all that other 2.0 techno-babble. Good stuff. keep it coming. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

“I feel so good about myself. I almost twitted "what a dickhead" after Lieberman started speaking, but I applied restraint. Very mature. :-)”

Robert, have you posted, or will you be posting, your views on fav.or.it? In response to a negative review by Louis Gray, Nick Halstead has noted (in FriendFeed - see the http://friendfeed.com/e/22224b... URL) that you loved the application. There is a slight tempest in a teapot brewing between Halstead and Gray, but I was curious regarding your views on the product. - Ontario Emperor

These meta-aggregators are what is going to save our sanity... I am looking forward to reading through this post more thoroughly and evaluating as I am with FriendFeed. Keep up the great treasure hunt, Robert. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart

Someone's going to have to let me know when the site actually works. When I last used it, I couldn't import any feeds. And when I sifted through the river of news that was available, it unresponsive and not much fun. It's not going to centralize jack until it can perform some basic functions adequately. - mrshl

"But I was very intimidated because there were many of people in the computer science department who knew a lot -- geeky guys who had already programmed as kids" -- I've heard this from most of the women I know in CS, but I don't know what to do about it. I started programming in Basic on my Apple //c at a really early age, mostly self-taught. I think my sisters all had better things to do. Maybe I had less of a desire for social contact or variety than they did. - Jim Norris

I sometimes wonder how I metaphorically threw my engraved invitation to go into CS (my degrees are in chemical engineering) out with life's junk mail. I think it partially had something to do with spending those formative years (~ ages 10 - 15) on the phone instead of playing on the computer. - Clare Dibble

Clare is always talking about how you have to start at a young age, but I disagree. I didn't start programming until I was 24 (5 years ago), and I am not a guru, but I have already surpassed some of my friends in particular ways -- the same friends who taught me a bunch to begin with, and have degrees in CS. I think it is possible to break into later in life. - Robert Felty

@Robert What kinds of things did you do to help you catch up to and surpass your friends? - Adewale Oshineye

@Adewale - I was lucky to make several friends who knew a lot about computers, and I tried to poke and prod them for information as often as I could without being too annoying. I also started consuming as many online tutorials as I could. I also found some concrete projects to work on. I think this is vital. I also had the fortune of being in grad school. I spent a whole summer learning programming (html and javascript to start) instead of doing school work, which turned out to be crucial for my thesis. - Robert Felty
