http://www.google.com/reader... I'm glad you asked this right now. I just realized that several people are following me and I didn't even know it. I hope it hasn't been this way for long!
- Michael Fidler
Just noticed that Reader now allows grouping of people you follow! Wondering: is Reader going to become a competitor (instead of complement) to FriendFeed?
- Chris Rogers
@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster. Right now it's a manual process involving either a new Group/Room or Imaginary Friend. Should be 2 clicks tops.. Also see: http://friendfeed.com/alexsch...
- Alex Schleber
Here is mine : http://www.google.fr/reader.... I share (mainly on French sites and blogs) about libraries, literature and arts, human and social sciences, photography :-)
- Nadine Pestourie
LOL here we go again :o) http://www.google.com/reader... I share a lot of blogs and funny stuff that I read, it's neat how I can share and it gets posted all over by friendfeed.
- David Gross
http://www.google.com/reader... - I share items about productivity, gaming, movies, and misc. stuff from the Google "cool" via Recommendations feed. Thanks Kol for starting this thread because I've been trying to cut down on the number of feeds I subscribe to and instead just follow interesting people.
- Dusty Edenfield
Svartling: good point about adding people to groups. I noticed I couldn't comment on items that were shared by some users.
- Dusty Edenfield
I've (we) written a lot of more good tips on how to use Google Reader in Google Reader comments. It's too bad we don't have permalinks in Greader so we can share our notes and comments. Otherwise I could have posted a link here. Here are some on friendfeed: http://friendfeed.com/svartli...
- Svartling
The conversation is really blowing up (in a good way) on Reader. The most important reminder currently is to set up groups and allow commenting. That is NOT on by default!
- Vince DeGeorge
Thank you all. I think I have subscribed you all now (except those feed in languages I don't understand) Here is mine again: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Svartling
I've started to follow a few of the people here but there's quite a few, so will take me a while :) - My currently fairly bare feed is: http://www.google.com/reader...
- Roy Herrod
There are a few entries here you might like to read to help you. This one: http://ff.im/6CkQj explains about adding people to groups to allow them to comment and why some don't stay in groups. In this one: http://ff.im/6F9pQ I suggest a way to track a large number of shared items using PostRank. This: http://ff.im/6Ci0P and this: http://ff.im/6AM35 has a few tips on using GReader as a lifestreaming service. And this: http://ff.im/6EMT1 gives a few examples of GReader bundles.
- Kol Tregaskes
Those of you above whom I already follow on FF/Twitter/etc., I've subscribed to your feeds. As for the rest of you: if you follow me on GReader, I'll follow you back.
- Dennis Jernberg
I'm sharing some pages now, including a few of my past blog entries.
- Dennis Jernberg
Because I have issues with data duplication, I have merged this list with the google reader shares room feeds. You can view the Google spreadsheet at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc...
- Rob Diana
There are a bunch of shared feeds that I could not resolve the Google username for because they did not have a named profile set up.
- Rob Diana
tristanhambling, your link didn't work. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
It would be really handy to have all these shared feeds as an opml file. Has anyone added everyone? Care to export an opml of the shared feeds?
- Paul Jacobson
I'm http://www.google.com/reader... Not really comfortable with the custom URL though since it can only be your gmail username. Makes it really easy for spamspiders I think.
- TobiasVerhoog.com
Tobias, possibly but not had any problems myself though Gmail has the best spam filters around so I probably not noticed. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
http://www.google.com/reader... mostly webdev, photography news, music, world news which i get interested. plus half of them may be article in Japanese. sorry. :-p
- browneyes
http://www.google.com/reader... - OK I'm in. Late as always. Will post my thoughts, feedback and pleading requests for help over in Google Reader so please follow me over there. Eat your own dog food and all that.
- Andy C
MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too.
- Andy C
Andy, Richmond Park and the others around there are the appeal really. Good place to go photographing and cycling while being very close to London I think.
- Kol Tregaskes
Teddington (across the river from Kingston Upon Thames, is where I think I'd like to live. Just 'cos it's cheaper than everywhere else around it. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement.
- Andy C
I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
anyone use google reader on windows mobile professional? I cant seem to get it to work and when I try to go to the mobile site it takes me to the regular site.
- David Gross
Nope, sorry can't help you there, David.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh Anika, I totally agree. The first time I started playing, the sound was broken, and that actually made it even scarier. Damn near gave me a heart attack. Not that it was less creepy without it. Great atmosphere.
- joey
I think this game may be on par with System Shock II for nerve-jangling. It's also making me realize how long it's been since I've seriously played an FPS. I can't aim for shit.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, it's intense to play in a dark room, too!
- joey
Add surround sound to get the full effects..
- Uncle CW™
I'm actually about to turn off the surround sound and I've had the kids turn on the lights. Chickenshit. --->
- Admiral Anika
Heh, there's some bits in it....that will - quite bluntly - make you shit your pants :)
- Mo Kargas
Well now I'm stuck with no bullets and zombies in masks shooting at me. My zap power is all gone too. :(
- Admiral Anika
That game was incredible! Another jewel in BioWare's RPG crown for sure. Very much looking forward to the second installment.
- Aaron Krug
Played the game once during a LAN party. One day will get around to finishing it.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
I'll be starting to play BioShock this week, that or Borderlands. I'm taking them in to work for my lunchtimes. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
It maybe on par with SS2 but could never match SS1 for creepiness. All in all though, it's my favorite game in many years.
- Adrian
I've never played SS1. Do we have it?
- Admiral Anika
Yep, still have the original CD-Rom. It may take some doing to get it to work on a modern PC though. It's obviously a DOS relic.
- Adrian
Virtual Machine running DOS. That's what you need. And a sound driver, and mouse driver, a CDROM driver, oh and you'll have to figure out how to load those into upper memory. Wow, how did we get anything to work?
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Hehe... custom Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files. I had Wing Commander 3 running on my 486. That was a bitch to do!
- Adrian
Now *that* was the golden era of PC gaming!
- Adrian
I hadn't played a game since Doom 3 that was so creepy. Loved it.

Twitter is the Grand Central Trainstation.... I wanna know what Friendfeed is?
- Peter Efland
Twitter is a cross between speed-dating and public speaking. You talk at a lot of people but you only get a minute to say what's on your mind... and you may not hear if someone responds... Or it may be an event no one attends and you're just in a room talking to yourself.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Twitter is public shouting, but the thing is people do listen to that shoutin
- Varun Mahajan
Plant a seed in Twitter - watch it grow in FriendFeed.
- Chris Loft
Peter, FriendFeed is an elementary school playground.
- Admiral Anika
Friendfeed is more like ham radio than twitter is, IMO
- Kevin L
"online post-it notes" I like that one Susan
- Alejandro
How is it I never saw this until now? Do Google Alerts not work with FriendFeed? Weird.
- Ari Herzog
Twitter is the graffiti on the bathroom wall.

But Paula, you must remember this is where the words of the prophets are written if Paul Simon is to be believed.
- Aaron Krug
@Aaron Krug If followers make the prophet, that is...
- Paula W
Its the end of the world has we know it
- Fee501st
it would be the end of the *universe* as we know it when we see mmo aggregators. a friendfeed style multi-multi-mmo. chaos & entropy is a feature, not a bug.
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
That's real life out the window for a whole bunch of people then :)
- Amy
That is some really sad news for fans of the series. There are few games better than the ones made by those with such a passion for the source material.
- Aaron Krug
Right now I'm on Ubuntu, but I do have a Windows 7 beta Machine. It's about the best OS they've come out with so far. Better than XP and Vista. They seem to have listened at last. More function, less bloatware and eye candy.
- Ian May
wait, there's another version of Windows coming out? :\
- Valley
You could also be here later if you like...then again where is here? Considering how fast the Earth is moving through space we are never here for more than just the instantaneous now, then we are on to the next here and the next now.
