Bought it. Beautiful song. Curiously, when I'm rested, I translate any mention of 'you' / 'your' to 'us' collectively. This bug in my thinking changes the message profoundly.

I imagine a time when all search engines have an open api where tools can merge & thinslice for discovery - 4 all the answers live in this place being the firehose.

Still in fucking awe of Twitter being twitter. We love bow hunters. We love all of you. You are what the tech industry could have been, should have been ; (

If you all cash out hugely tomorrow, Monday, April 13, 2009, everyone of you deserve it.

13x over :)

Thanks Fred. Our career path offers almost no peer review, so your comments & support mean a bunch. The project I've been working on since '92 is important to Sylvi & I, and, if twitter stays independent, them too. I'm in awe of how Twitter is being twitter.

We've been scaling back here a bit - tired - I'm not sure you who pay attention understand the environment we have to create to analyze the data coming in. It's not all 'code' on a mac. I'm working on it even as I type this - - an EQ in LA is alarming my iphone.

This project is deep. It is more than 10 lines. It is NOT fun. If I succeed, it will change our understanding of evolution and reality.

If I don't succeed, I have already answered for myself what is real, and what is hard work :)

We've coded our own bit.ly functions inhouse, and it's more than 10 lines of code :) I'm also thinking I should have focused on that code instead of what i'm sitting here doing right now! Otoh, as Nathan suggest, maybe in another decade, I'll have our primary stuff in one line of, umm, "code".

Any funding flowing to twitter-ish developers is a good thing.

This thought ignores the impact of mining/mfg/etc. Replacing things in this way won't help. Stop using things, or using things smartly, will help.

Quake stats. Our Twitter client tagged, b4 USGS main site reported, 769 tweets from Twitter's datamine feed, and 2,468 tweets from twitter search.

The folks who have held office for the past 8 years were also persistent. And they listened to their tribe. And only to their tribe.

Agreed. The path for innovation is well worn though in our future economy may need re-routed. The path for invention is filled with bottomless pits.

Fred, there is a very real possibility that investing in Wall Street and REIT's are on the same path as investing in GM, Ford, and AIG.

I'll continue to view Wallstreet as a high stakes game with no moral rule. As the World focuses on what "can" be blamed, I suggest wondering who might be the ones who won and what position they've taken, and then adjust the thinking for the "fix".

Great post Albert. About your aside : google : In 2004 I emailed Google asking for a feed of realtime data, suggesting there was something more happening than search could find. Never heard back :) as their stock rocketed from $139 to a high of $700+. The rise in their pps points to how deeply flawed the 'code' running our civilization is. That code is set early and hard. From a purely sustainable point of view, this code won't scale to handle the issues we are about to face, together. @nk twittered earlier today during the power meltdown; "There are times to solve problems and there are times to blindly work around them." - This bit of info will never float to the top of google, but for me it is a marker. And by blind, we infer 'participatory feeling'. This feeling is what we, collectively, are numb-ed to and what artists struggle to remember.

Re: TechCrunch, Using Compete To Measure a Twitter Client Stat is Plain Wrong

tweetip — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:29:04 -0000

TwitStat numbers are not representative. They pull their rankings from those people who follow @twitstat - so if you want to skew their numbers, which seems someone is doing just that, follow them.

Here’s how Twitter’s datamining feed ranks twitter clients (web 47%, twitterfeed 9%, tweetdeck 8%, twitterfox 4%, twhirl 4%, txt 4%)… http://tweetip.us/lkx1a

"Could large groups of animals function together as a single entity with distributed intelligence? Did evolution work through such groups, selecting at the group level rather than the individual?"

We're wondering - would evolution favor 10 min thought or long thought now? The implications might be staggering. Oh! Stand? That's so, like, druid... http://tweetip.us/lk4u1

"...all the previous work in the field..."

Fields. With fences. Limiting thought. Killing creation. Fields are a root to the reason 'genius invention' are so very few if no more. Not everyone should do work in a field.

seems to us maybe if meetings were a bit longer, like 9 days, the World may be a bit more wise. of course, who has time for that.
