This is just a ruse by VC to get investor's money. Now.

And when will they return that money?

Later.

When Later becomes Now?

No, because now is when you give us money.

Riiiight.

this is exactly right: That's the failing of Facebook's redesign: It is constantly updated, but no longer with the best stuff, just the newest. as far as it goes ... this is also how twitterstreams are

but ... if u like a friend or a twitstream, u can go back and read that start finish

so. and also, too

Seriously Owen, yeah, we all hate the new facebook, but if you're going to write yet another post bashing it, could you at least *try* to write something new and/or interesting? This "real time," psuedo-philosophical shit was not worth the 15 seconds it took to read it.

If there was actually news about the redesign this post would be warranted, but this is just beating a dead horse.

@BBooms: Hah. What's especially frustrating is that there's probably some meat on this "realtime" bone yet to be picked, but this little diddy didn't do it. It's like Owen's a better editor than writer, or something. WHODATHUNKIT?

"Sometimes the most important things happened hours ago, years ago, a century ago - but we are just beginning to understand how they mattered."

At which point I post my newest "Eureka" to twitter, facebook, and tumblr and get instant feedback from all my buddies. This feedback might help me understand the events of the past better, and faster.

@aurora*raby: I think you're not exactly up to speed on which words are most currently used? Nobody ever says symmetric. I think because it's largely a mathematical term, isn't it?

Anyhow. Wrong word used pretentiously. Sign #1 of a poor writer.

I thought about reading this post, but it's eight minutes behind the times already.

@TedSez: Over an hour later, I'm hesitant to even comment. I'm so late, it seems unlikely anyone would ever read what I said.
