Great graphical explanation. I think it will be nice when Google get's "flattened" a little bit.

Re: Facebook has a problem with pictures of Breast feeding?

Is this for groups all over facebook or just that one group who makes a game of seeing how far they can test Facebook and the report feature? That group isn't exactly the nicest group of people and they're pretty much a joke now considering the attitudes and snarky behavior a lot of them have toward anyone who things differently from them.

I used to be a part of that group until I grew fed up with the immaturity of some of these other mothers. I thought the group was for support and hints and tips but it's mostly just instigating and people trying to think up ways to ruin Facebook. Then when some of them get banned or suspended from the site for their poor behavior, some of the others complain to facebook and act as though they never instigated anything! Very sad. I honestly don't know how some of these people can be so negative and nasty when they should be celebrating their healthy happy babies.

Dr. P Rapoport, Facebook has never claimed that women's breasts are always obscene and pornographic and harmful to children. Facebook actually DOES support breastfeeding, try taking a look at other facebook breastfeeding pages and not just the one at the top of the list for once. You guys instigate facebook and other users constantly and then wonder why you get in trouble when caught. There have been discussions on that breastfeeding group where they talk and giggle about how they can instigate Facebook and post as many graphic photos as they can to see what happens, THEN they complain when the photos are removed. Why should we all take a group like that seriously when there are plenty of other groups who have breastfeeding photos complete with nipple showing, who have nice quiet pleasant groups and are civil to each other and actually help others?

Fine project.

You shouldn't be joking about reason no. 2, because it's correct. There's more than that going on; this issue has been analyzed some in the media and on our site (which has at least one of those photos: www.tera.ca/photos6.html).

Facebook pretends to have a policy but doesn't. It deletes photos arbitrarily and capriciously and then blames others for what it does.

Facebook pretends to support breastfeeding, but it doesn't; and that's not its mandate anyhow.

Facebook claims that women's breasts are always obscene and pornographic and harm children.

I've written about this many times and so will stop here with that brief summary.

Your drift that the future interner growth will be search-driven rather than content-driven is trenchant presaging. I think the foothills are already getting to become more and more dominant.

It's you.

Just kidding.

This is a very very long debate which goes far beyond my country is better than yours.

Officially, the IOC is forbidden to release medal tables by their charter. There is no OFFICIAL version from the IOC. They've been 'unofficially' releasing them since about 1992, and then in the 'gold first' standard. Some smaller countries like gold first as they can get just 1 gold and move quite far up the table, ahead of a country that has say 3 silvers and 7 bronzes. Others hate gold first as it is being used as an excuse to cut funding for non-gold possible sports.

I blogged about it yesterday here and you should also read the WSJ piece on this (the link is in my post--don't want to post two links as that will spam catch this comment)

Keith,
Congratulations to the you and the team this looks like it will be a big idea!
I like the concept of a distributed database/query system. This is very clever, using RSS as a way to "publish" sharable data is great.
I do hope the "tags" are xml rather than a defining a new protocol.
Let us know when we can get a peek at the API.

Earnings calls on the ipod, just one more reason people don't hvae to talk to each other on the subway. I love it! Eat your heart out audible!

I'm new to all of this, but how do I get the earningscast setup into my ipodder program? I have manually downloaded every one of the earnings calls for the site, but if you have a podcast that updates every time you add another call then I'm interested in setting that up.

Also, though you might be interested, GE offers a podcast for their earnings. Here's the link:

Do you know if anybody else does?

Thanks. Best.

Earningscast is awesome, a much-needed service. Thank you for posting these online.

I've been posting about a comment I heard Larry Page make on Google's call last week. I don't have it verbatim, but he said that Google would do for TV what they did for the Web.

I'll check the mp3 for his exact words, but to me this sounds a lot more profound than just indexing closed captioning or partering with TiVo. For what it's worth, I posted some thoughts on to spark some discussion.

Many thanks for earningscast!

Hi James

The advice I have had is that these calls are "on the public record" and that so long as I record the call rather than take a file produced by a third party then there are no copyright issues.

It's probably a borderline case but it seems unlikely that a company - faced with SEC rules requiring equal access for all investors - would go after us.

Any insights you have would be welcome though.

Love the site. Are you sure that it is not illegal to post MP3's corporations conference calls?

Just wondering,
