Simon’s Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-02

  • Taking a break from copywriting to walk @kipthedog and @kepler_dc in Florida's winter sunshine. Brisk breeze & huge cloudless blue sky 2day #
  • @Steveology Steve, ppl still say "cyberspace", so no, the term "social media" has at least another decade of legs. in reply to Steveology #
  • Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's son sets up $1 billion fund [Reuters] http://ow.ly/10haL (ht @TweetChina) #
  • Finally! RT @houenrong: 2010 is definitely the year of the geek. Women can't get enough of us. which is a new thing. But a welcome thing. #
  • @Syfy Yep! How many weeks is Caprica scheduled to run? Any hiatus planned, or will the series run straight thru? in reply to Syfy #
  • I'm breaking my self-imposed daylong hiatus from Twitter because I'm so excited about this new upgrade to Google Reader… #
  • Google Reader now tells you about updates to any website, regardless of having RSS or not. This is huge. #
  • If "RSS is dead" as @leolaporte often says [I disagree], Google Reader just did a Lazarus. Check out the blog post http://ow.ly/10q2y #
  • @davewiner would be interested in your comments on Google Reader's new "update without RSS" feature http://ow.ly/10q3v #
  • @ilsevs me too. Love Google Reader. Live in it. in reply to ilsevs #
  • @stinson Very much so, Matthew. Its an odd statement but @leolaporte (who I have the greatest respect for) and others take a contrary view. in reply to stinson #
  • @pdenlinger Be sure to get the context and meaning right. Perhaps a better precis of @BillGates' comments: "#GFW easy to circumvent" in reply to pdenlinger #
  • I stand corrected @leolaporte. I thought I'd heard you question the "retail" use of RSS, versus the obvious need for RSS at the back end. in reply to leolaporte #
  • insightful RT @gabyu: Google algorithms and CCP have something in common : Their strength is based on the culture of mystery. #
  • What I'd really like in Chrome is extension synching between all my machines. #
  • Hey @NASA, is the FRR for STS-130 on NASA TV at 8am today? Or streaming elsewhere? Doesn't seem to appear in the schedule. #
  • RT @NASA The STS-130 Flight Readiness Review is underway at Kennedy Space Center. NASA managers will assess the readiness to fly the mission #
  • RT @NASA @illuminantceo FRR is not carried on NASA TV or streamed. FRR's used to be "secret," but now we can tweet what's happening to you! #
  • Thank you, @NASA! All the best with FRR then! in reply to NASA #
  • Testing @GoogleVoice's new iPhone web app. So far, working perfectly. Super impressive! http://m.google.com/voice #
  • The @GoogleVoice iPhone web app auto searches Google Profiles for people matches. Cool & interesting! #
  • Getting early lunch. (@ Firehouse Subs) http://4sq.com/90A09r #
  • Cooking family dinner: creamy chicken and pea fettuccine with garlicky bagel bits. #
  • Damn. Missing the #SOTU as I'm on a long con call with Shanghai and Beijing… #
  • http://iPad.com – Support Cancer Research and Organizations that Support Families Affected by Cancer #iPad #
  • Picked up a chilled bottle of Australian (New South Wales) Yellowtail Pinot Grigio for ten bucks at the gas station. Sensational value. #

  • Hillary Clinton: "We had a very positive exchange [on #netfreedom] with the Chinese today." (at the Afghanistan Meeting in London, just now) #
  • @BillGates' comments on #GFW have been skewed out of context. I wish he would clarify: I heard him say {paraphrased} "easy to circumvent". #
  • Media focusing on @BillGates' comments as "Chinese filtering is very limited" is misleading 2those who didn't hear his interview #netfreedom #
  • Love that Kentucky Jelly! RT @houenrong: @blcsfo fear, hate, anger, aggression sells guns, ammo, flags, smokes and ky jelly #
  • Hey @lessprojects: Your webapp looks great but [optionally] asking for Gmail credentials is kinda epic fail. Good PR to take that down. #
  • @blcsfo Dunno, Clinton is in London today, is in Paris tomorrow… #netfreedom in reply to blcsfo #

  • @betsydrager Yeah, I subscribe to @scifri podcasts and listen on demand :) Particle physics news? in reply to betsydrager #
  • Daughter got 100% on her grade 4 science exam (topic: electricity). She got an Icee as her reward :-) #
  • Finally got a replacement battery for my HP laptop: 45 bucks for what seems like a quality OEM unit. Pretty happy with that. #
  • @rkoffler well, she claims to hate it, but her mom and I expect that is just tween stuff! She's advanced, from her yrs studying in China. in reply to rkoffler #
  • I love the Domino's Pizza campaign so much we're gonna feed the family from Domino's tonight. First purchase at DP in what, 10 years? #
