DISQUS

Well said, Jesse! The FF beta released a few weeks ago has taken user interaction to a whole new level. It's commonplace now for me to share a link via a bookmarklet and then strike up a conversation with other FFers that lasts throughout the day, all without my even having to visit FriendFeed.com.

The continually expanding communications options are what make the FriendFeed platform so great.

My mother in law gave us a camo "Diaper Dude" with blaze orange trim. It's entertaining to say the least.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record I couldn't help but think EMAIL! EMAIL EMAIL! when I read this passage:

"It’s astonishing how long we can tolerate substandard systems, seemingly unconscious of the toll they take on our productivity and morale."

Looks like your permalink structure is all sorted out. Congrats on the new site, I look forward to watching your new WP home take shape.

Great news! This cements my desire to keep DISQUS on my blog and it makes me much more interested in Facebook Connect now. Any word on some Google integration?

Ouch, my last comment should've said "it's", not "its'". How embarassing.

Chris,

I love the new look and its' making me want to try Thesis myself. My only complaint is that your site's favicon is outdated and ought to be brought in line with the new color scheme.

Keep up the good work!

I didn't realize that the DISQUS video comment link led to Seesmic. Thanks for the demonstration, Faboo!

Sounds like the moral is 'never trust Vista'.

Mike is officially an opinion leader, people! My inbox is pinging with new FF buddies as we speak.


Thanks for the nod, Mike! Hi Mona!

Excellent work, Mike! This is a great resource for anyone working in social media, from neophytes to old hands.

Awesome! I used to love midnight Wal-Mart loitering when I was younger, but it never occurred to me to go there for nap time.

Glad to see you representing Memphis on Dad-o-matic, Buck.

Thanks for the links, Bob. I hear about Beth more and more lately; I'll need to add her to my feed reader.

Make that "notification" in my previous post. Curse these fingers!

Hutch and I are on the same page re: email as a notificaiton service. I'm really happy to see the "stop trying to cram everything through your email system" movement taking off.

My corporate email account has a 70 MB limit. The search functionality (Notes 6.5) pales next to what GMail had in 2004. Bring on Enterprise 2.0!

Thanks for writing this blog! The parts about how weight and salary tend to match those of our friends were particularly interesting. I just made a major weight change, I wonder if I could do the same for my salary?

Funny, I saw @buckdaddy tossing around the idea of a "BlogHer" for dads this week on Twitter. This is certainly an underserved space and I'm glad it'll be out there for me to read.

Thanks!

Good call, Zoli. I like to use this "wikis are better than emailing word documents around" graphic when I discuss workflow problems with people: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dpritchett/2752906...

I also blogged about online collaboration for slideshows yesterday. Can you tell me which provider you prefer for web-based presentation collaborations?

Thanks for writing this! I've been meaning to look into the crystal ball for some insight re: Google's social plans and this helps tremendously.

Excellent concept. Someone should write a blog about sharing at work. Ahem.

Seriously though, great post. I like your take on the issue and I think I'll be riffing on it in a post of my own soon.

I developed my appreciation for sharing by spending three years in a corporate IT department and wondering why I so often had to duplicate the efforts of others or wait around for new work to find me. Today I'm doing my best to make sure our lessons learned are captured online and highly visible for those who come after us.

We missed you at the SMB this Wednesday. Hopefully I'll see you at another one soon. I'm trying to get a babysitter for the Sarah Lacy UGBT event in a few weeks so maybe I'll see you there.

Since it's open source we'll eventually get Adblock, but I'll still feel funny about it given that Chrome is developed by an advertising company.

This is an interesting companion to the earlier ValleyWag story about Google pricing their day care out of the reach of many of their employees:

As I said at Social|Median, I think this is a great idea on your part. Hopefully some exciting ideas that slipped through the cracks at the big conferences will get some exposure here!

Thanks for the heads up, Adam!
