"Bulverism is a logical fallacy in which, rather than proving that an argument is wrong, a person instead assumes it is wrong, and then goes on to explain why the other person held that argument. It is essentially a circumstantial ad hominem argument. The term "Bulverism" was coined by C. S. Lewis. It is very similar to Antony Flew's "Subject/Motive Shift"." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... sound like a certain strategy from Sean McBride? I think so

That's up and to the right. I am now reading almost 30 percent more feeds than I was reading a month ago. Bring it on. And RSS powers everything - not just feed readers.
- Louis Gray
Pubsubhubbub is making RSS even faster. RSS is behind FriendFeed, LazyFeed, and every relevant aggregator. This argument is so silly.
- Louis Gray
Twitter's a great basic RSS reader for headlines and more realtime/'now' stuff. Not ditching NetNewsWire/Google Reader for actual post material anytime soon though.
- BeauGiles
I agree, but RSS could do with a few upgrades here and there though (I just want to comment on blogs straight from the feed itself).
- Hugh Isaacs II
Couldn't agree more. Sure, it might turn into more 'plumbing' for many users, but RSS is far from dead.
- Brad Kellett
My headline? RSS: interesting or boring? (Hint @marshallk and @louisgray, we’re not normal)
- Robert Scoble
I never said I was normal. Just that I am kicking ass at my job. :) And that anyone else who wants to ought really read feeds. imho
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Agree with Marshall (and Scoble). I believe the best information producers are those who consume lots of information. Know your craft and use the best tools.
- Louis Gray
Marshall: you can read the feeds. The real news lately is being broken in Twitter. But I'm glad someone reads all those feeds so I don't have to!
- Robert Scoble
The signal to noise ratio in feeds is 10x to 100x better than Twitter, though. Even if you do prune your list of Twitter folks (as you have), much of what is there is not news-related.
- Louis Gray
Twitter is the news ticker. If you rely on the ticker to inform your opinion of the world... Good luck

I had no clue why anyone would use Dave Winer's Twitter OPML tool to get all tweets from friends via RSS. But I tried it anyway and discovered that it's easier to find the really relevant stuff when you get tweets via RSS. I can skim through 1,000 tweets in a few minutes and separate the signal from the noise much more efficiently. And, of course, it's all searchable in GReader.
- Dominic Jones
I'm with Louis on this. RSS is far from over. Like Louis, the number of feeds I'm subscribed to is on the increase, too. Services like Lazyfeed and Toluu are making it far easier for me to discover great new content.
- Andrew Terry
RSS is critical to the growth of the social web, and is growing quickly. It will eventually be replaced by friendlier, less protocol centric technologies that shield the user from the mess that is ATOM/RSS etc.
- William Toll
completely agree. google reader is a great feed reader and is getting better GUI wise by the week. great avenue for syndication via friendfeed
- James Butler
from BuddyFeed
Taking into account that Im far from been an expert, I want to leave a thought. What if the way of use is simply different I mean, ok twitter is real time while RSS has some minutes delay, but in any case if I receive 900 hits/day I will not be able to read them all as they come so I dont see the problem on getting some delay.To me is just a question of leaving the noise on Twitter as is much more quick to read and pass through the news & info and get the selected ones on RSS for better storage and record.
- Luis Guijarro
RSS needs a proper comment API, so you can fetch all recent comments on all posts in one call from a blog - with threading if the site supports that.

I love RSS and losing it would change how I work (and play), but I really wish it would be more mainstream. I work in technical sales and I bet <30% of that group even uses RSS day to day. I bet for the non-techies it is closer to 10%.

RSS is an essential part of many things now. The argument is irrelevant and though I'd never say they were wrong, they are misdirected or trying to get a reaction. :)
- James Stratford
I use FF, Twitter and Google Reader for different things. Twitter and FF are far more about Buzz and the conversations around the topics. In Reader I aggregate many different original sources together. There is less need for it to be on-the-spot live, but it needs to be deeper and more detailed to be of value, and it is. They serve different purposes for me.
- Robert
Lately, I've been dumping select Twitter & FF feeds into Google Reader, as well as Posterous feeds, so even though I'm using all of these services, GR has now become more of a hub for me. Also: gReactions gives me a sense of how popular a feed item is. I would wish GR would incorporate these kinds of services so I could get more metadata about a feed item.
- phil baumann
Ughh, no, I believe the RSS is dead mantra arose from the real time Twitter phenomenon, however, us smarties know you gotta verify your sources & our attention spans MORE than the space of 140 characters. Catch that, the dual use of metaphor...attention "spans" MORE...As per myself, I read more articles via RSS feeds than ever as well.

Say, don't Twitter streams have RSS feeds? The icon's right there at the bottom of the sidebar...
- Dennis Jernberg
RSS is very alive and well and dare I say, even young. With tech news, there aren't necessarily thousands of sources like with general business news, etc. Where RSS will be big is in who can create the best filters for those larger niches. But the RSS readers we have today don't support all the features we'd need to create those filters. Google Reader management taps out at maybe 1500 feeds in Chrome, the most of any reader that can export opml (not just rss like Friendfeed).
- beersage
I agree that the problem with RSS is filtering. If something changed the way I use the Net was RSS, but now the volume is so great that unless you prune your feeds regularly you can end up with a lot of garbage. Most average users don't have any idea of what RSS is and that's something that can't cease to amaze me.
- Angel B
RSS & EMAIL are not dead. They are getting better and faster. PUSH tech can push anything. Push Email on mobile devices is just as fast as twitter. And now we are going to PUSH RSS/ATOM. Twitter is different, yet the same. Sure, maybe a news headline will break first on twitter but will I see it before I see it in my inbox or reader? Prob not because I'm not frozen staring at a twitter...

Thanks, Keith! In all seriousness, comments like yours make the four months I spent writing it worthwhile. Also, to everyone who has purchased it: please help me out by leaving a review for it in the AppStore :) Exposing it to more people generates more revenue which lets me spend more time adding new features to it (like support for direct messages, real time support, and so on)

- Keith Bennett
thanks again, Keith :) So, the backstory on DM is that this wasn't even supported for third party apps until the release of FF's v2.0 APIs, which only happened a few weeks ago. By then, I was in to final testing of my app, and didn't want to switch over to a new API version or figure out how to shoehorn in a feature I hadn't originally planned on. As far as real-time goes, I spent a lot...

I already have BuddyFeed which is a pretty decent app. I'll be downloading Stir too. I prefer the FriendFeed service to any other Social Networking destination but have to admit that, especially from the point of view of posting, I use Twitter more. The explanation is simple, superb third party iPhone apps, especially TwittelatorPro which is really best of breed. If Twitter wasn't served so well by the likes of TP then I'd hardly use it at all. Best of luck with this new application.

Kudos Aaron. I'm using Stir to post this reply, and I'm really, really liking the app. It's well designed, has pretty much all the FF features (and those it doesn't have look like they'll be coming soon), and it's rock solid. BuddyFeed is good, Stir is way better!

Needs a flip up range finder style view finder. The high iso binning modes hopefully deliver goodness in low light. Is AF good enough in low light? Or lcd sharp enough to do manual focus in those situations. These have always been the compromises of compacts that interfere with lots of the shooting I like to do. This little guy shows lots of promise.
- Hayes Haugen
Yeah, but you can just hop up to the G11 for that [optical viewfinder]. The S90 really seems to me like they sat down with an Lumix LX3 and said "OK, how do we build one of these?"
- Ken Sheppardson
Unfortunately, it seems to have a couple of capabilities the G11 doesn't (and of course vice versa), making the decision more difficult.
- LogEx
You know, this fall's going to be a great time for folks just who want to get "serious" about photography but who don't want to lug around a DSLR, what with the glut of used G9/G10 about to hit the market...
- Ken Sheppardson
I don't want to hop up to G11 because of its size. I will use the S90 more than the G11 because it's more pocketable.
- Gary Burd
This is great for people who want a LX3, but can't find one in stock
- Rodfather
I'd love to get this camera but it's just too thick to stay in my back pocket all the time. I ended up downgrading from the SD950 to the SD880 because the 950 was too big, and the S90 is even bigger. Alas.
- Amit Patel
Do you have one of these already? How is it working out for you?
- τorƍue
They're scheduled to ship in October. [Scratch that... Canon web site says September]
- Ken Sheppardson
Yeah, it's still a little big for a carry-all-the-time option. I've resigned myself to a three size solution: Something to carry everywhere (Palm Pre, iPhone, or SD780) + Something in the computer bag / carry-on that shoots RAW (G10/G11/S90) + Full up rig for going somewhere with the specific intent of taking pics (DSLR)
- Ken Sheppardson
.3 inches thicker than my SD880. Hard to tell if I'd be bothered by that though.
- Benjamin Golub
I went with an SD780 because I needed a 'carry all the time' camera with good HD video capability to record the kids. I've got a DSLR, but I only lug it on vacations and planned outings. I looked at stuff like the Flash video recorders (flip, vado, webbie, etc) but still shot quality sucks, so I figured better to optimize for stills, but maintain good quality video as an option, rather than the reverse.
- Ray Cromwell
I wouldn't put much stock in anything Ken Rockwell has to say. He is famous for reviewing gear that he has never actually used...
- Jeff P. Henderson
Much more interesting to me than the G11 for the its size alone. Back pocket? I don't trust any electronics in my back pocket. But this looks easily front pocketable.
- ronin
Wow. Nice! I've been looking for a smaller camera than my Canon S5. I'd love to see if ISO 800/1600 will work in low-light. ISO 800+ is too grainy on my S5.
- Mitchell Tsai
For me the fun starts at 1600. You need to be able to get the focus in that light too.
- Hayes Haugen
I'll be interested to see how well it compares to the LX3. But it'll have to be super-awesome, especially in low-light, high-ISO situations before it can even begin to live up to the hyperbole (I shake my head at you, Ken Rockwell) and beat out my LX3.
- Cheryl Jones
That command dial around the lens is obviously intriguing, but I've seen mention of it toggling through certain focal lengths rather than being a smooth zoom. A bit disappointing. But I applaud the usage of the ring. If I bought this cam, I'd probably use it to change apertures/shutter speed and leave the zoom to the original controls.

"A strip club isn't the only place in town you can see a pole dance -- amazed passengers on an L train watched in awe as a naked young woman competed with straphangers for space on a pole. The performance by actress Jocelyn Saldana, 19, lasted just 30 seconds, and some of the passengers probably thought they were hallucinating or dreaming. Most were blasé. But one woman started screaming and an elderly man next to her got the shakes. That free show in mid-June -- as well as similar ones from Times Square to Chinatown -- were the creation of photographer Zach Hyman, 22, whose portraits are never under-exposed. The photographer and his volunteer models don't spend much time on location. The model quickly disrobes and Hyman gives himself only 30 seconds to fire off 10 shots with his Hasselblad 500 film camera. Alex Reisner, a 20-year-old Columbia student, had a very appreciative audience when she disrobed in Chinatown. When Hyman snapped her jumping in the air in the middle of the...

@Akiva - thanks :) @Ouriel, @Bryan - I'm the author of Stir, and I'd love to hear whatever feedback you might have on the app. $2.99 is less than the cost of a grande latte at Starbucks.

I'm planning on releasing a Lite, ad-supported...

@Aaoron any chance for Stir for Blackberry ?

As a former Palm Treo user who was price gouged for apps for the Palm OS I have no quibble with dropping a few bucks on decent iPhone apps. The most money I've wasted has been on the €0.79 variety apps and not the more classy releases. The guy has put months of work into delivering another option for FriendFeed users and I'm delighted he did. I hope he makes a packet and is encouraged...

The app is definitely worth it. It's quick and laid out really well. I especially like the ability to view just the photos in my feed. Nice job, Aaron.

Aaron, I think an ad-supported version of Stir would be a great way to "get your feet wet" with the app and broaden the number of users.
- Bryan Lee
@bryan - i've been thinking the same thing. A Lite version is definitely on my list of things to do.

Would love to have the draft window auto-save posts in case I have to close it to find more info or switch to another app. For ex: I just added some short praise for Stir to my personal stream (forgot to add it to this group, woops. Can someone re-share if you think it's worth it?), but I had to close the draft window to go double check the...
Whenever I decide to walk to these fields normally they are usually half grown or cut down, so luckily this day they were there and green. :-)

ah, reminds me of when I was little. We lived by the country-side...

Lucky we have countryside just across the road from us. :-)

Nice shot but the tree on the right throws it a bit.
- Aaron Brethorst
True but I like it. :-) It's actually makes a pleasant FF theme, lots of greens! :-)

Gorrrrrgeous, Kol! Love the way the top horizontals work with the twitter page layout. And Cornholio comment, ROTFL!
- Jeannette Gutierrez
Thank you, Jeannette. It seems to work well as a background image so going to put it up where a service lets me. :-) Plurk for one might work. Can anyone suggest other services that allow theme editing like FriendFeed and Twitter?
- Kol Tregaskes
Hmmm, try Tumblr and Ning. Posterous might have customization, too...?

"Looks like wheat to me." - 'Corn' in England means 'cereal grains.' Wheat is corn, rye is corn, and maize is corn.

Now that I'm seeing the whole picture (I just saw this on your Twitter and FriendFeed backgrounds), now I really like it.

Wow, Stir is absolutely superb. It blows all other iPhone FF apps out of the water, and I own them all. Lots of great features that are designed well and not just bolted on. For ex.: I LOVE the button for reordering comments by time in ascending or descending. Stir finally brings FF to the iPhone and makes it usable and beautiful. First FF client...
