Party Chat (s/t$/pp/) →
Persistent chat rooms in Jabber.  This is the best little work tool you can use for your startup today.  If this were the only thing I learned from the betaworks crew of bit fiddlers, legal eagles, miscreants, visionscaries, circumnavigators, drama mamas, professor strangeloves and code monkeys, I’d be quite happy. +1 Props to the creators. -1 Props to the namers. ==== Create chat...

Don't Get Mad, Get Smart
[The below are my comments on Chris Dixon’s excellent post on Twitter’s Tweetie acquisition] Like Julien, I’ve been pounding the desk for years for Twitter (or some competitor) to go XMPP and create a true real-time web, to no avail. Build a simplified USENET on top of XMPP, with a bridge to Twitter as one of many destinations. Decentralized Protocol » Centralized API....

“I think Twitter’s a success for us when people stop talking about it, when...”
– Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, June 2009 at the “Future of Media” panel during Internet Week. How far has Twitter deviated from this sentiment and strategy lately? There is more talk, more panels, more speculation, adulation and derision than ever. And where is Jack now? Exactly.

South Park's Facebook Episode
Kyle: I really need a friend right now.
Stan: OK dude, I'm here for you.
Kyle: OK, then get on Facebook and fertilize my crops.
Stan: No.
Kyle: Please, my farm hasn't expanded in 3 days!
Stan: Dude, I've already had to become friends with all Wendy's friends and all my grandma's friends, I do not wanna start doing all the farming stuff too. I'm not getting sucked into that.
Kyle: (sobbing in hysterics) You don't get sucked into it! You don't get sucked in at all!
Stan: Fuck.

– Fake Steve Jobs drops a gem of a post on the iPad launch date.  Read the whole thing.  I won’t be one of the huddled masses this morning outside of the Apple Store, or Tweeting the UPS delivery status of the new touch-screen Holy Grail.
