2008/09/24 [16:01] <@TinaGillmor> Stand by for The Gillmor Gang
2008/09/24 [16:05] <@TinaGillmor> hello all tweet link http://www.ustream.tv/channel/NewsGang-Live
2008/09/24 [16:22] <+Karoli> i really hate facebook. just turned down an invitation, made me install stupid app to turn it down
2008/09/24 [16:25] <+Karoli> low-information voters
2008/09/24 [16:30] <+hardaway> THe world is made up of low information voters
2008/09/24 [16:31] <+aronski> It doesn't surprise me that Facebook keeps getting more users but without the Califlower connection I'd only check it once a month...or never.
2008/09/24 [16:32] <+hardaway> I get Facebook friend requests as often as LinkedIn requests
2008/09/24 [16:32] <+Karoli> i'd never check it. I'm still offended that i have to add a fb app to decline the invitation
2008/09/24 [16:32] <+Karoli> stupid
2008/09/24 [16:33] <+aronski> No value to me initially, still very little value other than the people who never update their addresses and phone numbers can be reached there, a stagnant eddy of clutter.
2008/09/24 [16:35] <+aronski> Real time microblogging is much more interesting, less mosquitos breeding in a moving body of water.
2008/09/24 [16:35] <+hardaway> I use both FB and LI to find people as you say, Aronski
2008/09/24 [16:35] <+Karoli> when linked in lets me unlink my social graphs, i'll join
2008/09/24 [16:35] <+Karoli> don't want my offline contacts mixed with my online contacts
2008/09/24 [16:39] <+aronski> Chocolate in your peanut butter issues?
2008/09/24 [16:39] <+Karoli> this just came over twitter from waynesutton https://twitter.com/waynesutton/statuses/933485696
2008/09/24 [16:40] <+Karoli> my answer? won't happen till track is re-enabled
2008/09/24 [16:40] <+Karoli> aronski exactly. i have different circles that i move in that do not and should not intersect
2008/09/24 [16:46] <+aronski> So the cloud-wide identity thing doesn't interest you?
2008/09/24 [16:46] <+Karoli> not in the least
2008/09/24 [16:46] <+aronski> Or would you have a public and private persona?
2008/09/24 [16:47] <+Karoli> in real life, i use a different last name for my biz than I do for my social life
2008/09/24 [16:47] <@theagent> you're on
2008/09/24 [16:47] <+Karoli> my clients are republicans. do you think i want them following me on twitter?
2008/09/24 [16:48] <+Karoli> lol, way to lose business fast. :)
2008/09/24 [16:49] <+aronski> I have a hard enough time knowing who I am with one identity, multiple ones would be a Schitzophrenic experience to say the least.
2008/09/24 [16:49] <@theagent> can't hear me.. I'm muted
2008/09/24 [16:50] <+Karoli> obama just hit a home run with his press conference
2008/09/24 [16:50] <@TinaGillmor> karoli call in
2008/09/24 [16:51] <@TinaGillmor> we've lost marc and hoping he is coming back in
2008/09/24 [16:52] <@TinaGillmor> Karoli can you call in?
2008/09/24 [16:52] <+aronski> I do understand the idea, my work is something I prefer not to broadcast as a descreet service...

2008/09/24 [17:00] <+Karoli> cliff gerrish points out that delaying the first presidential debate means possible delay of VP debate. not gonna happen
2008/09/24 [17:04] <+Karoli> watching twitter and laughing a bit at some of the GOP tweets. assuming Obama will phone in economic crisis participation. spinnnnn
