Fred, you still have some funds waiting from me for that beer ;) Also, as of today, Twitpay is now powered by PayPal. Just give your paypal email address as a way to associate your account, set a pin, and that's it.

Cheers,
BA

It's a late post, but I just got to your video. I wish I built this video into my queue.

Fred, used a quote from you in an article we had published in the Age in Melbourne Australia today and thought that you would like to see it. It related to social media and I was not sure how to get it to you but it relates to the interview in principle although the quote is from elsewhere so I thought i would put it in here. Please tell me if doing so is inappropriate

yes, I know you are running the mac mini in the living room if I remember correctly. i am regretting going with Apple TV, I'm not that much of a fan of the syncing features anyway so going with Mac Mini would have been a much better decision in retrospect.

If you prefer to wait for the public beta (it will be when we get most of the bugs out... about 3-6 months) then you can sign up at popscreen.com/invite

However... We'll launch our private beta next week to a limited and exclusive audience. I'll happily sign you up if you're interested, just email me your email to glenn@popscreen.com. I swear that emailing me will be spam free.

its really interesting that the human problem is now creeping into social media. ive been helping out at stocktwits part time and our problem is that we have to monitor the feed 24/7. id like to build a system to help automate the process but im afraid it will become outdated too quickly.

at some level i don't think its economical for small startups to commit a ton of resources to maintain a clean community (although its paramount).

do you think we will see social media security companies pop up?

Watched the video when Robert opened up building43 and commented there (great stuff off the cuff meistro) but the incredible find for me today, voice transcription. I've been recording blog post fodder while out walking and sadly gave up on dragon natural speaking. I will definitely give simulscribe a chance, the transcription worked out great.

Wish friendfeed comments seemless integrated with disqus.

Its hard. Both spinvox and simulscribe are pushing technology as fast as they can. But they still need humans. I think a hybrid approach is how you get there

When can I use it?

Apple TVs processor is underpowered for boxee. They could develop a lighter version for appleTV and maybe they should.

It worked well on my version of boxee. But boxeequeue is still very much a prototype

They are working on it

I had no idea. The video was made three or four weeks ago

Its more than delicious for video. That's the front end. I want to be able to tag video wherever I find it (web, video, email, twitter, facebookm etc). That part is like delicious. But I aslo want a "lean back" experience on my tv to "watch later"

Well this was a special situation. We knew we wanted to do this deal from day one

But a lot of our investments are done this way

That's the same sauce (a call centre) that Spinvox (Simulscribe competitor) use and try to hide that fact.

I wish someone could crack voice to text technology.

Crazy as it sounds... A delicious for video... Linear video watching... Sorry for self promoting but I promise that out of all the times I've read your blog I wouldn't post something I didn't believe was related to one of your posts www.popscreen.com/home (almost to private beta)... I think we've got a solution for you =P

I've tried several times today. I can't get the videos from boxqueue to play back on my apple tv. I've tried two Revision3 videos and ironically, also tried to pull up a couple of building43 videos including your interview with Scoble.

All I get is the first screen of the video when trying to play it back and nothing. No audio, no video even though the boxee counter keeps incrementing as if it was playing it back.

I've had a lot of problems with Boxee on the AppleTV, I wish I went the route of the Mac Mini, think it just needs more horsepower.

I'm gonna lay a challenge for you as an Etsy user. ( as a Buyer. I could possibly turn into seller- I'm the target demographic of buyer and seller...) That website is too female.

XX Factor claims that the crafting is the female version of soul craft (I'm inclined to agree, seeing my own attraction to learning and practicing this sort of stuff).

Can the 3d- party APIs be turned into something Etsy-like. Soul Craft for guys? Even end up merging the two?

You can - if carriers will share it.
