Holy crap but I’m good: http://blip.tv/file/1572482 #
@LLiu what part about ‘you weren’t there’ don’t you get? Explanation enough butI have DM’d your sorry ass. in reply to LLiu #
Problem with recorded/live streaming is that it doesn’t convey the atmosphere of the event. Ergo assumptions made are almost always wrong #
@LLiu – yes I have and having watched the recordings I can say with 100% certainty they don’t convey the flavor of what was happening. in reply to LLiu #
@RevzNexus – because I’m not an ex-pat dope like 99% of others perhaps? Keep baiting, you’re doing good so far. in reply to RevzNexus #
@RevzNexus -I’ve written and said enough about where I live to bore the pants off most people. It’s Spain. It’s olive country. That’s it. in reply to RevzNexus #
travellodge.com #
@RevzNexus – you reckon? Ask @AlbertoAranda in reply to RevzNexus #
@RevzNexus – that’s the problem with opinions. Everyone’s got them. A bit like assholes. in reply to RevzNexus #
@LLiu – you weren’t there so shut up. in reply to LLiu #
@RevzNexus In English we call it ‘quality of life’ – something Mike Arrington has no clue about. http://ub0.cc/1k/2s in reply to RevzNexus #
@paulwalsh – I really want to Tweet that last DM but I’ll leave it to you for the surprise. in reply to PaulWalsh #
@PaulWalsh – long wait then… in reply to PaulWalsh #
Peeps often think blog A-listers are unapproachable and ask me for intros. That’s BS. Speak and ye shall be heard. #
@PaulWalsh – you don’t fly speakers period so let’s get that straight. in reply to PaulWalsh #
Courtesy of @AlbertoAranda – there’s a good chance I’ll be olive picking…soon… #
RT @AlbertoAranda: @dahowlett would you like work in “Aceituna” one day? jejejejejeej – why not? #

@AlbertoAranda – I am and it is miserable outside. Raining. in reply to AlbertoAranda #
@jobsworth – BINGO – well done JP, glad you jumped in. in reply to jobsworth #
I’m getting into what @socbleizer has been saying re: FF but with a twist. My conversations need the blog framework as well. Interesting. #
Acronyms I’m using: PRT – Partial RT. PPRT = Partial Private RT – where’s @tweetdeck on this? #
PPRT: @samdownie: You want innovation in the UK, then check out: http://ub0.cc/1s/04 and http://ub0.cc/6T/T gr8 innovation in Bristol #
RT @patphelan: Keep this to yourselves, I will give away a Nokia carbon fibre arte next week $1500 value http://bit.ly/Ls2q +1 #
@Scobleizer – better still, fill the truck with wifi and satellite gear so the wifi stands a chance of working. in reply to Scobleizer #
@OurielOhayon – perhaps it is @gaberivera’s idea of a joke? in reply to OurielOhayon #
QOTD from @philbaumann : Fiduciary sociopaths have a talent for domination in a land of corrupt idiocy – nailed. #
My N96 sux (aka 9 mins of not getting much done) http://tinyurl.com/5dy6mx #
@jeffnolan – this has got to be up there in the ‘WTF were they thining dept” http://ub0.cc/9d/n in reply to jeffnolan #
@stoweboyd – they all understand Castilliano, same in Basque and Andaluz etc. The languages are becoming stronger. Gr8. in reply to stoweboyd #
For a Saturday pm brain fsck try this: Stephen Dirle: Onan The Illiterate 1080pp (PDF, 3.8mb) http://ub0.cc/0l/0y courtesy of @timoreilly #
This Tweet is too good to get lost in DM:”I wish I had popcorn.” #
Nothing puts me in a better mood than Paul Oakenfold on SIRIUS Area 38. This from Perfecto on Tour (London) http://ub0.cc/1p/2J #
@mkrigsman – you’re missing Chris’s point. He’s talking about the editor/publisher tension. We’re lucky, we’re protected. Many aren’t. in reply to mkrigsman #
RT @kcearns: HP Opens Up Open Source for Small Businesses http://ff.im/-hB5u – where’s @monkchips on this? #
@jevon – would that be the kind of friend who likes to beat you up every now and again. The Drupal community are a disgrace to open source. in reply to jevon #
@positivechurn – it’s America, it’s drama, it’s Hollywood, it’s LeWeb. It’ll be tomorrow’s digital fish wrap. Moving on. in reply to positivechurn #
PRT @mbites: @loiclemeur Great debate about Le Web/Europe. But please sue Swisscom’s ass for WiFi fail + give proceeds to delegates, non? +1 #
RT @builtbydave: @loiclemeur is it really *that* important if Arrington is at next LeWeb? If he’s there, great. If not, great. +1 #
@1938media – is there snow in Montpellier? Nice part of the country, know it well. in reply to 1938media #

RT @jobsworth: hoping for big things from Dhoni and Harbha +1: but I’m hoping Harmy and Freddie will finish them off. #
@Scobleizer – and Guy Kawasaki’s point on your vid struck home. I kinda knew it but to hear it elsewhere validates. in reply to Scobleizer #
@Scobleizer – yeah. I’m trying to figure how Imight leverage both FFand Twitter better than I do now. Thinking. in reply to Scobleizer #
@marshallk – I’m starting to wonder why bother when the link from Joi Ito (who is well read anyway) is here already? http://ub0.cc/1y/41 in reply to marshallk #
GillmorGang Live at LeWeb08 – my fave piece. http://ub0.cc/8V/c #
Big News from Lessig via Joi Ito: http://ub0.cc/4P/0F #
48 inches of pure heaven: http://ub0.cc/3c/1k #
@loudmouthman – I’d be VERYcareful what one applies that thought towards. I wonder for instance if Mrs Loudmouthman would agree. in reply to loudmouthman #
@ssethi – I wouldn’t mind but I bet I have more important things to do (lol) Noting: @loudmouthman and @pistachio are worse though. in reply to ssethi #
Interesting to see press releases and other junk/spam going into Linked-In. At least it’s not in my email. #
RT @SaraD: What your car says about you and why the US auto industry is failing. http://tinyurl.com/5sxtxh ++1:Outrageous #
@jonerp Come join me (http://friendfeed.com/dahowlett) on FriendFeed! [via http://bit.ly/ocdB +1 ROFL #
@briansuda – hmmm…ever heard the expression: “Necessity is the mother of invention?” in reply to briansuda #
RT @thoughtfarmer @dahowlett @jevon of course he’s serious. they’re also discussing a light truck version with a 4×8 ice rink in the back +1 #
PRT @jevon: The Beaver car would have a solar array disguised as the beavers tail and a wood chip powered engine +1 – RUserious? #
The passing of an era: Carol Vorderman’s last Countdown was aired today. http://ub0.cc/7v/0f #
I didn’t think @gapingvoid would make it this far but good on you buddy. #
Nokia N96 sux – here’s my evidence: http://ub0.cc/4C/H #
@YuraF – you’re correct. It’s not the condition but the cure that bothers me. in reply to YuraF #
@ccmehil live from Florida: http://fridaymorningreport.tv/ – come join the fun in reply to ccmehil #
Friend just told me that drop in value of GBPis costing an annualised GBP150,000 – that’s serious money for a small biz #
@jowyang @lilyhill – new expression I learned this week: RIFing (reduction-in-force) as a euphemism for being laid off. in reply to lilyhill #
@Rumford – all social media ‘expert’ pressos should include at least one of the puppet shows from @1938media (IMO) in reply to Rumford #
@Rumford – the river of corporate BSnever ends, right? in reply to Rumford #
Anyone know whether Lloyds TSBis using a packaged platform for this innovation initiative? http://ub0.cc/5W/0n #
The actions of the UAW echo back to the UKcarmakers unions and NUM. They’ll self implode http://ub0.cc/4b/0x #
RT @simon_g: @dahowlett proving Twitter’s value – interesting. How does one do that? By making it part of a process #
I’m cranking out a prop that includes Twitter to a bunch of finance types. As it happens I proved Twitter’s value in the pre-brief session #
Me – a human social object? http://ub0.cc/6B/0K (one of Hugh’s jokes) #
This is odd. I’m following @yellowpark, his Tweets show up in FF but not in Twitter or in Twitter clients. #
@mbites: tap up @jobsworth, see if he can lend a hand in reply to mbites #
RT @1938media: Oh and BTW the Eiffel Tower would be considered scaffolding in America. – yeah but that goes to the question of taste #
@pixelbase – it’s one of the downsides to an open piece of s/w. Upgrades break a lot of things. They don’t all get tested. Sound familiar? in reply to pixelbase #
@conoro – Gabe asked me if I still use Techmeme. Answer: rarely to not at all. Issue seems EU clicks are not as valued as US=less EU content in reply to conoro #
Further WP2.7 note. If you’ve got anything impacting the dashboard, back up then kill and retry. #
Problem with WP2.7 solved. If you’ve got Lighter Drop Down Menus as a plugin, delete from server. Note to WP: test more thoroughly #
@TomRaftery it’s nuked my dashboard sidebar ergo no admin capability so basically fskd. Trying to figure now. in reply to TomRaftery #
The WP2.7 interface is appalling. I like sparse but making it hard for me to find ANYTHING is a massive Fail. #
@karllong: not hating. I lived in Fr for 7+ years and still love it. BUT – I’d forgotten how cold and expensive Paris can be. in reply to karllong #
It’s not often I’ll watch a full @scobleizer interview but this with @guykawasaki is woth the attention investment http://ub0.cc/bd/k #
RT @gapingvoid: @1938media Forty five minutes in Paris was enough to make me thank God Almighty for being a Texan. +1 – same for Andalucia #
@pkedrosky – unfortunately though, Wilmott has a lot of history on his side. in reply to pkedrosky #
Gabe Rivera has an uncanny knack of being able to talk about TechMeme as though it is divorced from he as a person. Masterfully done though #
Up early. Feeling better but wondering if I’m getting @dsearls cold/flu thingy. Hope not. If so then 1st time in 5 years. #
If you’re into DEsi culture then follow @shuhel – his site is pretty nifty too. (link at his Twitter place) #
@gapingvoid – good to see you Hugh – safe journey home in reply to gapingvoid #
@gtowna – it’s not often I am lost for words so I’ll go with @jobsworth’s new word ‘fuckinwifi’ in reply to gtowna #
@eventtrack stop*leweb08 in reply to eventtrack #
RT @OurielOhayon: wifi at CDG is a total nightmare, we should sue them for stealing people -tell me about it. Same rant about 9 hours ago. #
@eventtrack stop*#leweb08 in reply to eventtrack #
Jjust got home. Not feeling so good. Thanks for all new follows. Need a cup of tea. #
RT @conoro: @czajkowski i saw @dahowlett struggle with dog slow N96 at Le Web. The hardware on G1 is cheapy but Android is fabulous. &lt … #
Pissed off – lost an entire post. Bollox. Plane now #
Wifi connection at CDG is crap. #
@patphelan – I’m just about to set off from center of Paris. I’m sneezing a lot this morning. in reply to patphelan #
RT @dbounds: @dahowlett If that’s their first impression, who can blame them? – fair point #
Even Nokia agree the s/w for the N96 is shite. Good. Now sort the darned thing out please. #
@briansolis – I assume Mcrosoft is paying you to pimp that ……??? in reply to briansolis #
Had a wonderful evening with a bunch of folk from Marseilles. Lock in was even better. #leweb08 #
@CathyBrooks – your voice problem was not funny but I couldn’t help giggling. Sorry. in reply to CathyBrooks #
I’m surprised at the level of rejection for the gillmor gang. This could be the 1st time I’m defending peeps many of my followers know. #
@sushik -@garyvee is a NYChustler – but a good one. in reply to sushik #
or…[erhaps the gillmorgang doesn’t travel? There is that possibility. #
@freecloud – interesting. As I said to stevegillmor – you have to know the peeps to get the Gang. Not easy but worthwhile IMO. in reply to freecloud #
@christinelu – I met LOADSof awesome peeps the last 2 days. in reply to christinelu #
e.g. I’ve had more bust ups with @techmeme than most yet Gabe is incredibly gracious. Peeps are full of surprises if you get past the BS #
@yojibee – tell them not me @gillmorgang #leweb08 in reply to yojibee #
The mistake many friends made this year is to assume that Scoble etc are unapproacablle. That’s simply not true. #
@gapingvoid says I am the HUMAN social object. That IS a (sick) joke. I have the card to prove it… in reply to gapingvoid #
@bhc3 -you really don’t understand. But that’s OK. in reply to bhc3 #
@2it – really? Who shone through to you as someone full of their own importance? in reply to 2it #
@yojibee – it doesn’t matter whether you listen, only that you understand the irony that is the GillmorGang in reply to yojibee #
@siburgess79 huh? <Me and social media? Follow some other dope – please. I don’t do that crap. in reply to siburgess79 #
On reflection, Paul Carr’s piece in the Guardian re #leweb08 was garbage. Don’t they give those guys 3G dongles? The man is a tosser #
@jangles – you dismiss too easily without thinking what GG means. It’s an easy mistake. in reply to jangles #
I’d argue that peeps should try get GillmorGang to get the SV mindset and then adjust to suit their market #
Interesting that almost none of my EU friends liked GillmorGang. Some things maybe don’t travel? #
@jonerp – why else do you think Bill Wohl would wish to speak with me? in reply to jonerp #
@jangles – that was a gr8 GG show. Poty so many EU types didn’t get it. in reply to jangles #
#socialmediais a marketing manager interrupting lovers passionately embracing to sell them cola. (via @tommorris) #
RT @jstride: I’ve never watched Glimor Gang before, won’t be again either. – Interesting POV. SV willy waving? #
@mas90guru – (sigh) – more problems in reply to mas90guru #
@SmartMarketing: Scoble, Searls, MacLeod, Arrington, Rivera and Canter. MIA – Farber. Feldman is a guest in reply to SmartMarketing #
Somebody really pissed off Paul Carr re: #leweb08. http://bit.ly/Ze98 #

@AlbertoAranda – interesting in reply to AlbertoAranda #
@jamesfarrar – I believe there was a mouse problem @1938media’s hotel. Literally. @jamesEd_me duh? There’s no porn so what’s the issue? in reply to jamesEd_me #

If you get the chance to meet Fergus Burns of Nooked then buy him a beer, coffee, whatever. He’s possibly the most generous person I know. #
ONe of SAP’s heavy hitters wants to talk to me today. This could be very interesting. #
There is something incredibly annoying about hotel alarms going off/ When you’re in the shower. #
RT @SoniaT: great to see @dahowlett @kaiserkuo @chrisheuer at #leweb in Paris – same here -:) #
@Mrgareth – not may have.. in reply to Mrgareth #
Things are grim. Mike Arrington in a suit #lewwb08 #
LeWeb08 is VERYdifferent to past events. More a ‘happening’ than a conference but certainly not a Burning Man thing. #
Update from Merrills’ courtesy of Twitter friends – action at SAPcreates confusion for whole customer base: http://bit.ly/16oA1 #
The solution toi the food problem was 20 meters away. In a Brasserie. #

@andismit – so who will take any notice and offer constructive approaches? Much of what I saw was dopey http://bit.ly/AeXd in reply to andismit #
