can't get my lists or groups to appear on it for some reason... - Zee.

Zee - how many lists do you have? It shows mine OK, but I have hardly any ... - Patrick Jordan

lists 4, but groups/rooms - freakin' loads - Zee.

Hmmm - I've got 34 rooms and they show up just fine - you have a lot more than that? I haven't used Groups yet - so that's a difference. Hopefully Robin will see this thread soon and have some input ... - Patrick Jordan

Now I want an iPhone! - Michael Fidler

Zee, I am the developer of BuddyFeed. It seems you have a lot of subscriptions and the size of your profile data is 2M. It may take some time to get the information for the first time. You may need to try to keep buddyfeed open for a while to get your profile downloaded. If you still have problems, please let me know. - Robin Lu

BuddyFeed was decent, but a little underwhelming & buggy when I initially purchased it. But this update takes it prime-time... it's now far superior to using the web interface in Safari. I *do* wish it would allow landscape mode, but that's one of my only remaining complaints. - Roger Benningfield

I'll try that again: I'm finding BuddyFeed to be a more preferable way of looking at FF than the real-time web UI... - Brad Brooks from BuddyFeed

+1 on landscape mode, particularly when viewing actual web pages. Don't know why so few apps seem to support it. - Grey Drane

And yeah, I've noticed that some of my feeds are taking a while to load first time. On "Likes", for example, I had to tap "Load more" 3-4 times before anything showed up, but most others worked after just 1 or 2 taps. - Grey Drane

Is it too much to ask for a Blackberry version of BuddyFeed? Hello? *taps on monitor screen* - Ms_Krista

no, it doesn't, Andy. In fact if you're typing something and click "post" and lose your connection (which happens unacceptably often here in coastal LA with ATT), you will also lose the post. - Anthony Citrano

I've looked at this before and wondered if it was worth $3. I'm very...uh...frugal. - Vaughn from iPod

it's a cool app; I like it and bought it and use it for several months now. it crashes occasionally and has the issue I mentioned above, but overall I think it's a really good app. - Anthony Citrano

one of my most used apps - George Dearing from BuddyFeed

So this was from May -- have there been any update since? Anything added? - Vince DeGeorge

It used to be buggy. Is it better ? - Jeff (Team マクダジ ) from iPhone

I find it very solid now. - Patrick Jordan

Hard for me to tell why this is better than just using the web version. - Herb Hernandez

I've tried several FF iPhone apps and not been terribly impressed by any. I'll make this my last one (previous include Nambu & AlertThingy) - CannonGod

Meh. I still prefer the iPhone web version. - Arawak from BuddyFeed

I downloaded this yesterday & really like it so far. Much better than the iPhone web version. - Vaughn from IM

agree. just got buddyfeed and am happy. still need to go back and forth with facebook though. updates quickly and is stable on 3g iPhone. - Carey Lumeng from BuddyFeed

Salt in Enceladus geyser points to liquid ocean - space - 29 April 2009 - New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article...

"THE ice plumes that bloom above Saturn's icy moon Enceladus are almost certainly rooted in a subsurface sea of liquid water. The Cassini spacecraft flew through a plume on 9 October 2008 and measured the molecular weight of chemicals in the ice. Frank Postberg of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, and colleagues, found traces of sodium in the form of salt and sodium bicarbonate. The chemicals would have originated in the rocky core of Enceladus, so to reach a plume they must have leached from the core via liquid water. Observations from Earth in 2007 spotted no sign of sodium, casting doubt on such a subsurface sea." - RAPatton

Input Director is a Windows application that lets you control multiple Windows systems using the keyboard/mouse attached to one computer. It is designed for folks who have two (or more) computers set up at home and find themselves regularly sliding from one system to the other (and wearing out the carpet in the process!). With Input Director, you can share a single keyboard/mouse across a set of systems. - The Amber from Bookmarklet

"We just got the announcement, iPhone OS 3.0 is coming. Set your clocks, mark your calendars. It's going down March 17th. Apparently, we'll get a sneak peak at the new OS, as well as a look at a brand new version of the SDK. Exciting stuff indeed, and we'll be there live at 10am PST (1pm EST) with the liveblog. Apple's calling this an "advance preview of what we're building," so we're not expecting anything ready to go as of the 17th, but hopefully this will allow developers to start building toward future functionality (hey, how about some push notifications?), and presumably users won't have too many months to wait after that for the real deal." - Susan Beebe from Bookmarklet

I am curious what features are in this next release?! Anyone know yet? - Susan Beebe

great! i just upgraded my jailbroken phone to the latest one like two weeks ago and it was a pain in the ass. hope they have flash, hope they have cut and paste, hope i'm able to run apps in the background, etc... - Cee Bee

This came out of left field for me. Wow. I'm expecting video recording, new Mobile Safari, maybe built in iChat? - Mike Nayyar

yeah a better browser would be nice too - Cee Bee

Cee Bee - yes, Safari crashes way too much!! Perhaps add cut / paste - please! - Susan Beebe

Better browser?! Tough crowd. http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Paul Reynolds

I'd settle for copy and paste. I don't have a need to cut and paste very often but I want to copy and paste all the time. ;) - Anthony Citrano

sweet. I hope they tighten up the Exchange Active Sync stuff. Kinda craptastic right now - Jeff (Team マクダジ )

I'd settle for drag highlighting! - alphaxion

Browser stability please. The rest is secondary to me - Bwana ☠

Some level of background apps, video recording, an ability to manage apps / home screens sensibly (via iTunes, via 3rd party apps, don't care how), copy&paste of course, and an application launcher (again from Apple or just an OK for devs to offer these) - all these would be a good starting point IMO ... - Patrick Jordan

How much is it going to cost on my iPod? - Daniel J. Pritchett

I'm just saying 2 years ago, having a *mobile* browser that even remotely rendered pages like their desktop counter parts was unheard of... much less one that handles most of the AJAX/Javascript shenanigans we have now. I have minor quibbles with the iPhone OS. But Mobile Safari isn't one them. You're paying _AT&T_ $75/month ($100 for me), I wonder if Apple gets a cut of that. - Paul Reynolds

I hope the browser is improved too with less crashing, copy/paste, more speed, flash. Another feature I'd like to see in the OS: video recording,streaming support. - Loren Heiny

I vote copy/paste, video, flash, background apps (and ability to close apps better to free up memory without rebooting), and push notifications. In that order. - Jandy

I'm betting that iPhone OS 3.0 will be underwhelming on the phone side - I'm just hoping for more bluetooth and background apps. But it will include lots of under-the-covers stuff that sets the stage for a September intro of a new iTablet/MobileMac/Newton (hah!) running the same code! - Stephen Foskett

Where's the "love" button for things like this? - Sonya Smith

Where's the app that counts down to March 17? hah - Sonya Smith

I hope it does Palm Pre emulation... (half joking) - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

This is cool. But because Mozilla has so many great add ons, I sometimes forget to use this one. - Bryan R. Adams

+1 @Bryan I'm always forgetting to use it about 100 keystrokes and mouse gestures too late - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

I've mentioned this a while back somewhere else: they should try and incorporate Ubiquity into the 'Awesome Bar' of Firefox 3 (http://is.gd/2PeL) rather than having it flapping around separately. Gives it much more publicity and a home within the browser. - CannonGod

Heh, I've had ubiquity installed for some time... and I forgot about it. - Tanath

@Tanath ~ I agree. It's just more complex trying to add a map through Ubiquity than my standard methods. And lets just say I rarely 'send' maps to ppl. If they're going to receive this map by email then they can damn well check Google from a link. What this all really addresses however is email users on Outlook (i.e. Not a webmail user) as opening a link forces a lot of extra actions like opening the browser. Versus webmail which would simply open a tab quickly and show the map, one wonders... - CannonGod

I'm not really sure why I never used it. It has potential, and I use gnome-do (which is similar) all the time. I think it's because there are some minor things I don't like about it, and I'm waiting for them to be fixed. - Tanath

I've been using this for several months now, it has made my life so much easier and my browsing much more efficient. I seem to find a new use for it every week. It just lets me do many things that used to take a new tab and a bit of typing, copy+paste, and hunting and do them in just a few keystrokes. I recommend learning it and integrating into your browsing. Now, if the Herd would ever come back online so I could install the thesaurus command... - xero

Slowed my FF soooo much... I had to uninstall it. - Marcos

I would expect an alpha release to be "still a tad buggy" :) ... Remember its Ubiquity 0.1.2 yes 0.1 ... I find it quite remarkable where it is already - much better than many 2nd or 3rd release beta products that are out in the wild... and potentially a real game changer. MashUps for the user - not just the developer -- will give me the power I've been looking for since 1967....I played with some of the Enso stuff some time back, but this is really WoW !!!! - David HC Soul

I've been really wanting to try this out too - anna sauce

STILL loving this app and using it daily. - xero

Everyday app for me, cant live without it... - Christer Wirheim

Experience is everything. In-a-month experience is pretty awesome better. PhotoKast had tens of thousands users and serving over 2 million photo views a week. In its first month, PhotoKast was one of the top 10 social networking applications. Nice case. Congrats to team. - Erhan Erdoğan
