Re: Windows 8 Schools Google Chrome In Building A Great User Experience - http://www.fastcodesign.com/1669796...
"Luke ↬ Miller They're pretty close, like I've said a lot of the enhancements are features already available in Chrome (Files and folders, globalization, threading/WebWorkers, background apps, notifications, etc...). The most crucial APIs that Windows 8 provides that browsers don't currently offer is networking, cryptography, online ID and contacts access which are all currently in the works (There are more, but they're more Windows specific and I don't think they could be translated to other OSes). There's also the ability to embed XAML/.NET and/or native code in these apps, but the web already has something similar in plugins and Googles Native Client. Also I agree with the polishing part, but not the encasing part. Google could easily upgrade WebKits CSS appearance feature to allow web apps to look and feel more inline with the operating systems design principles. The feature wouldn't fragment anything and it'd work across platforms. The development experience for this would just be..."

""Microsoft has clearly learned this lesson from Apple, and is now approaching the design for Windows 8 in the same way Apple did for iOS. Interestingly enough, Microsoft almost once went down the same road as Google in seeking to make the desktop feel more like the web. Back in 2010, when the company was showing off Internet Explorer 9, it imagined a world where you’d simply pin a web app to your taskbar. The problem was, like on Chrome OS, these "apps" for eBay, Hulu, and Facebook were just links to their homepages." Ummm... Windows 8 houses an upgraded version of this feature. You can pin web apps to the start screen and it'll even display a notification badge for them. You do also know that Windows 8 apps are just enhanced web apps right? And not enhanced by that much I might add, Chrome OS adds almost all of the same functions. It is admittedly missing the unified design factor, but that's not exactly Googles fault, and there's a feature in Chrome OS (WebKit) that allows web apps..."

davewiner: Duncan Riley has a point when he says: "For the love of God Paul Buchheit, be a man and put FriendFeed out of its misery." http://r2.ly/mp82 - http://twitter.com/davewin...
Sandeep Kalidindi, Akash Sharma, Kol Tregaskes and 9 other people liked this
Actually, FF isn't Buchheit's to kill anymore. It's Zuckerberg's, and Zuckerberg alone has the power to kill FF now that it's his. And kill it he will; the only question is when. Buchheit was merely saying (in code) that Facebook's getting some of FF's technology etc.

Sidekick Friendfeed So tell me again why aquisition is good?
- WarLord
And why does DW care about what goes on here?
- Eric - 100% Choice Cuts
WarLord: it's good for humanity. Facebook is way behind FriendFeed's feature set in real time search, DMs, interactions, etc. This will bring the features we're used to to 300 million people instead of less than a million.
- Robert Scoble
Eric: Dave Winer has just as much right to be interested in the future of FriendFeed or have an opinion on it as you or I do.
- Robert Scoble
Why all the calls to kill a horse who didn't break its leg? I just don't get it, if you don't want to be here, don't be here.

- Amit Morson
I've been quietly watching all of this talking back and forth, but now I'm starting to get pissed off about it. We all are fully aware of how vulnerable FF is right now. All this blather from you people with some clout in the social networking world will only possibly kill it a few days sooner. Yes, I'm talking directly to you, Robert, and also indirectly to DW and DR and the rest of the people going on and on about this.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Kamilah: hint: traffic is way down. Note. We are all still here. So what's killing FriendFeed is NOT us. Just because we're talking about the facts and you don't like the facts shoved in your face does NOT mean the messenger is responsible.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, so what IS "killing" FriendFeed if it's not the users?
- Amit Morson
Amit: we've been over this before. But it's the lack of future direction. That has NOT changed. Facebook is not willing, or able yet, to tell us there's a future here. So people leave. Most of those who leave do so without posting anything. They just have something better to do.
- Robert Scoble
Keyword: SHOVED. What do you hope to accomplish with all of this shoving, Robert? I don't need hints, I know all of this, I've read it hundreds of times, I'm on here every day. So you're all still here... I don't get your point.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Kamilah: there's a way to hide any item that bugs you. That's one of FriendFeed's killer features.
- Robert Scoble
You are being really... It's not just about things bugging me!!! I'm not some idiot that you need to talk down to!! I have been on FF since about May 2008, so pretty darned close to being an early adopter. I frigging know how this thing works, and you don't need to tell me to hide anything. You did not answer my question. Maybe you don't have an answer. What do you hope to accomplish by repeating yourself over and over that Friendfeed is about to die??
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
We put our stuff here... They can't shut it down. Why can't a site just keep running as it is? Hotmail has been upgraded like two times in its entire existence.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Well you know, if FF is dead it's one less place he has to spread his resources at.
- Amit Morson
Christopher: Hotmail has 300 million people on it.
- Robert Scoble
Kamilah: where in this item did I say FriendFeed is dying. I think you are projecting your anger that everyone is leaving and beating up the community here onto me. Unfairly.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, you did imply in the OP that you agree with the sentiment that FF should be "put out of its misery." Not exactly a positive sentiment. At least, that's what I took from your posting of it without comment that indicates otherwise.
- Katy S
Katy: what? How did you get that I agreed with it. I clicked "favorite" on it which brought it over here because I thought that Duncan's point was an interesting one and was worth discussing.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Ok, then nix my Hotmail comment. If Paul or Zuckerberg said they were shutting FF down, is that something you'd seriously get behind? Or would you think it incredibly unfair to tens/hundreds of thousands of people who thought they could put their stuff here?
- Christopher Galtenberg
If Paul shut friendfeed down I bet you it would light up as a trending topic right away. This would be no surprise though; it is common for deaths to trend.
- Garin Kilpatrick
Robert - I hit enter before I finished the last post - you can see the rest of it now.
- Katy S
Guys I invested a lot in FriendFeed too.
- Dave Winer
Christopher: no. Because there's not a replacement for it yet. But what about in 2012? After Facebook has a TON more features? They will shut it down just like Google shut down Geocities.
- Robert Scoble
Anyway, Robert, it was your lack of commentary that led me to believe that you advocated that position. I wouldn't be surprised if others read it the same way. It's a matter of effect being different than intent, something that can happen when we present material to an audience.
- Katy S
I meant to say Mark instead of Paul, but the post specifies Paul.
- Garin Kilpatrick
Dave, so the solution is to self host everything? We both know it's not the solution.
- Amit Morson
Katy: lots of things I bring in here is to discuss what people's opinions are and to form my own. To tell you the truth I'm a lot more negative on the community today than I was a week ago. Why? Because of how people discuss things here and how they beat up the messenger. There is VERY GOOD REASONS why I'm bringing this up over and over again. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendf... should scare the freaking hell out of you if you think there's a long term future here.
- Robert Scoble
Companies don't keep investing in things if everyone leaves.
- Robert Scoble
Amit don't tell me what "we both know" -- that's a really weak and powerless thing to say. Then we start arguing about what I know. Feh. We both know I'm not going to bother. :-)
- Dave Winer
I'm not leaving :)
- Simon Hicks
Scoble, they've already said they're not investing in FF. And look at the graph on Duncan's piece. Everyone's leaving. The graph shows it.
- Dave Winer
Hey, no need to lecture me. I was just relaying the way this reads to some people. I didn't think I was "beating up the messenger" so much as clarifying how the post could be read. Maybe it's the English teacher in me, but it's a tendency of mine to address how I, as an audience member, read the discourse. If that annoys you - and it seems that it did - I'm sorry.
- Katy S
Katy: well, I don't agree with Duncan. So there.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I'll defend shot-at messengers, but the role you're playing (or widely perceived to be) is not just messenger, but harbinger. As Marshall McCluan would remind us: the medium is the message!
- Micah
Here's what I mean by defend: http://friendfeed.com/micahwi...
- Micah
Micah: well, that is ascribing to me more power than I have. If I had that much power all the Twitter users would have listened to me when I told them FriendFeed was the place to hang out. The fact that I couldn't make FriendFeed popular makes you wrong here.
- Robert Scoble
Robert - ok - I like clarity. So, are you starting to feel as if you've become Cassandra?
- Katy S
FriendFeed won't die until Facebook replicates most or all of its functionality (and very likely when that day comes, Facebook will provide some mode of transfer).

Acrylic: that's actually not true. CompuServe had more features than other things but CompuServe is gone today because the users left for a whole lot of reasons (many of which we are seeing in THIS VERY THREAD).
- Robert Scoble
What I'm saying is, it doesn't make sense to kill off a service in favor of another when the other doesn't provide for those that have used this service.
- Acrylic Style Music Group
That's like saying Apple should kill off the iPod Touch in favor of the Nano because the Nano sells more (not real stats, just an example). I say wait till Facebook catches up, that's all.
- Acrylic Style Music Group
Robert, you'll see in my link (right above your comment) I precisely don't ascribe it. What I'm also saying is there's all this panic and the perception that you're driving people away. There's a PR problem if you will. Who cares about blame - it's reverberating strongly, it's the negativity you mentioned feeling. You don't like it, nobody likes it. I don't know what the answer is, but a lot of people are venting the frustration and I'm writing this to acknowledge it.
- Micah
Micah: thanks. That's what I wanted to have happen. The community needs to come at this the way you did. There is a MAJOR PR problem and not one that's solvable because, well, it's not solveable. But, at least it can be fun if everyone took the tactic you did.
- Robert Scoble
Robert is reflecting peoples' already extant biases, like a mirror. He's providing confirmation for those who already wanted to give up on FF. For the rest of us, he's still here wanting to chat, stirring up activity :)
- Christopher Galtenberg
Christopher: I'm trying to do my part to get that line to stop trending down and move up.
- Robert Scoble
It's an odd kind of love :)
- Christopher Galtenberg
Christopher: well, truth brings the best community.
- Robert Scoble
It's possible the Friendfeed usage dip on the chart Riley showed doesn't reflect a drop in community size at all. It may reflect developers who are moving their FF mashups to other services in anticipation of an uncertain future. I recently changed a widget that outputs topical Tweets from using an FF imaginary friends feed to a Y!Pipes feed.
- Amyloo
I'm not going anywhere, moreover, I'm willing to pay a small amount to keep FF up. It's still my #2 starting tab after Gmail, I'm still enjoying using it and I just don't get it - who left?
- Kirill Bolgarov
The reason why Friendfeed users aren't convinced by arguments that FB will acquire all of FF's capabilities is about brand: who owns the brand, and whether you can trust them. FF is a feed aggregator, FB is mostly a power aggregator -- for Zuckerberg.
- Tim Ostler
Keith: who said that you need to replace your usage here 1:1? Maybe people just are gettting lives again and living offline? Or maybe they are, like me, living with the limitations of other systems and working within those constraints? Or maybe they are blogging again? :-)
- Robert Scoble
Or, maybe, the real drop here is because most of the users here are just playing Farmville?
