Gotta love Delta PR using Northwest as the flight name to take the bad flack when the flight was Delta. NWest name is to be retired in 2010.
Adam liked this
Aagh! So that's why it was referred to as an NWA flight in the media despite an obvious Delta livery on plane! Ai. Cheeky. Thanks for pointing this out, was wondering why everyone was saying Northwest. Sneaky as.

Oh yeah, brilliant idea. Then again people are too busy watching American Idol (no sarcasm implied) or tweeting stupid lame memes. Interesting that in NYC on May 5th 2009 Oprah, Billg, Buffet, Soros, Rockefeller, Ted Turner (CNN), et al. and Oracle CEO (and his wife) as well as finance CEOs etcetera met and it was all hush-hush. I only read about it from IrishCentral.com many days after the event.

"In the hallway, if an employee walks slower than 5 meters every 3.6 seconds, an alarm and flashing lights are set off, reminding the poor startled worker that he's an inefficient waste of air. Even better (or worse), there's a sign on the floor in said hallways that reads, "Let's rush: If we don't, the company and world will perish." The big boss, as a reward for thinking up all this stuff, gets to lounge in a nice, relaxing chair."

If you were seen to be dilly-dallying in a cabinet shop or construction site in this country (two jobs I've personally had) it would be extremely likely to hear something along the lines of "hey, pick it up buddy, we ain't got all day here".

- Merry Kuchle

- Robert Scoble
You spent years there sure, but most of those years Google Reader had no concept of friending. Nonetheless I agree: Google Reader is not (and should not be) yet another social network. It is information presentation, not conversation.
- DGentry
I was thinking the same thing, KShep. Sharing my items on GR is an afterthought, because it wasn't there at the betinning

The one exception is that Feedly rocks. If I start sharing stuff again on Google Reader it'll be because of Feedly.
- Robert Scoble
And for anyone here on friendfeed it doesn't matter because my Feedly shares go to Google Reader which come here to friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
I have to admit that I never used Google Reader so I'm not much help on reasons to abandon it.

I just find that I'm getting MUCH better inputs here on friendfeed than on Google Reader lately. That's because I'm following more than 20,000 people here and can see patterns much quicker and now that we have filtering I'm finding a ton of stuff I'd never find on Google Reader.
- Robert Scoble

Google Reader has never really been a social media tool in my eyes.
- Eric Dunlap
Neal: you're using Google Reader like I did years ago. Even if I try to go back and go down to only a few blogs, friendfeed wins big time.
- Robert Scoble
It's scale and quality that make Friendfeed most useful for me.
- hollyrae
I just find it fascinating how this topic is the fastest moving I've ever seen here on FF.
- dthree
I dont think you should be comparing Google Reader with FriendFeed or Twitter, totally different uses. I like to use Reader to go back and read all the posts I did not have time to read before, with FF or twitter, you only get to read so much before it gets tiring, plus Reader allows you to mark what you have and have not read.
- Mike Cheung
Dean: I put probably 1000 hours or more into Google Reader too. I'm very happy I did, because it makes Feedly really rock (Feedly builds off of the feed base you put into Google Reader).
- Robert Scoble
My Google reader has moth balls all over it as well. It just doesn't do it for me. Info is much more real time and network based.
- Troy Malone
Mike: you have not yet discovered filters. I have. I need to show you why that's so powerful.
- Robert Scoble
David: isn't it cool?

This is all true I find myself checking my reader less and less; though I still need it for a few bloggers who I read regularly who don't postback onto FF
- Raj Advani
Robert: You're right...I get overwhelmed eventually by my own curiosity and empty my reader and start over. It gets backed up when I am busy with a project and so on, while I can keep FF open while I work and follow the chatter pretty effectively (two monitors, one just for social stuff).
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
from IM
Troy: exactly. If news is breaking Google Reader is totally unsatisfying. Yesterday I was at the Social Graph Summit. I was watching stuff pour in here from people in the room with me (I had to leave for one session and that was a HUGE value). Google Reader? Nope.

Neal: on friendfeed when that happens just start a new list. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I really like NetNewsWire, but have considered switching to GoogleReader for the "share" feature.But I still find myself sharing things I read in NetNewsWire on FriendFeed to start a conversation.
- Larry Roth
By filters, do you mean groups and saved searches here?
- hollyrae
i suggest the robert scoble reader, the only source you'll ever need
- Daniel Langendorf
from Alert Thingy
Larry: that's the #1 reason I spent so much time on Google Reader. The sharing feature there was very powerful. I put thousands of items into my shared items feed over the past three years.
- Robert Scoble
1000 hours? Yeah no where even close for me lol
- Dean Clark
Larry, is there a quick way to do that?
- dthree
Your assumption is that conversation and link sharing is all that matters; GR is a powerful way to find out what others are talking about and have a more private interaction with information; it's an entirely different tool than these. That's like saying that you are giving up apples because you got a new car.
- Brad_King
Holly: yes. Shared Searches, sorry. I still think of them as filters.
- Robert Scoble
Ahh! Robert, you can share them? in a room?
- hollyrae
Robert: Exactly. I like getting google alerts in my reader, though. When FF unveils the real-time search technology hiding under all of this on the whole web, that will be obsolete, too.
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
from IM
Brad: good point. I haven't completely given it up (and if you like Google Reader you'll probably LOVE Feedly) but I used to spend hundreds of hours a month in Google Reader. Now? Less than 10. That's a huge change in my reading behavior.
- Robert Scoble
Holly: no, I can't share my shared searches in friendfeed yet, but they dramatically are changing how I read stuff coming through the real time web.
- Robert Scoble
RS: Isn't that analogous to magazine, newspaper, blog, social media? Is Google Reader the new magazine?
- Brad_King
David: I haven't found one yet--had thought about writing an apple script...
- Larry Roth
I have been getting news faster on ff then google reader for a while now.
- Asankhaya Sharma
Brad: that's a good way to think of it, except there's too much noise to make it a good magazine anymore. Friendfeed is a better way to create a magazine for people.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, thanks for the clarification. I do love the saved search in FF. I use a FF room to aggregate Twitter search feeds and share with colleagues... Google alert feeds could be cool in that room too. Thanks.
- hollyrae
We (my writing partner and I + some other select friends) use Google Reader + social bookmarks to create a collective discussion about specific projects and things that don't necessarily need the firehose that FF/Twitter are. But the thesis that GR is less powerful in this world I think is spoton.
- Brad_King
I started using GR for aggregating several feeds into one single location. I'd check it every day to see what was going down. I confess at first I was very lax with it's use. I'd accumulate about 1000+ unread items and being a little lazy would just lightly scan what was there and mark-as-read most of them. Then into my life came Twitter followed shortly by FriendFeed. I'm pretty sure...

- Wilfredo Guerrero
Wilfredo: I agree that I would like to see more engagement info in friendfeed (like how many people are clicking on links, etc).
- Robert Scoble
So Robert, are groups and saved searches the best way to aggregate links and create a list of blogs, stories, ect? I'm not sure I've mastered the UX of FF yet.
- Brad_King
main reason I don't use Google reader much anymore is all the good bloggers have stopped blogging. it's still good for picking up the MSM feeds :)
- Steve Wart
Brad: no, groups and saved searches are a way to filter your input and find stuff you care about. Your OUTPUT (or sharing) can be done by clicking "like" on the items you like and want others to see. That creates a feed that others can subscribe to. Here's my "likes": http://www.friendfeed.com/scoblei...
- Robert Scoble
I think you are right Steve - I've definitely noticed a drop in interesting blogging content in my feeds. Whether that is a good thing or not remains to be seen. (I've stopped reading books, but arguably I shouldn't be celebrating that.)
- Mike
The problem with Google Reader is that it is not nearly as good a platform as Friendfeed for discussing Friendfeed. Nothing beats Friendfeed for that.
- John Hardy
shiat, I've been looking for the LIKES feed. Where is that located on the UX? I don't see it anywhere
- Brad_King
Robert it can be interesting to have FF as a reader as well ....
- Johni Fisher
Brad: the feed for your friendfeed likes page is at the bottom of the page. There's an RSS and facebook feed there.
- Robert Scoble
Friendfeed and Twitter satisfy my RSS needs right now with stuff that are interesting to people like me. And that's just one part of their service.
- Manuel Mas
Mike: my blogging output has gone WAY down because of Twitter and friendfeed.

- Brad_King
OIC!
- Brad_King
Robert: It's probably got a lot to do with the topics you are interested in. Tech blogging is tired but I can confirm that economic blogging is really hot at the moment.
- John Hardy
Brad: your likes Atom feed is here: http://friendfeed.com/wiredbe... I found that on the bottom of your likes feed.
- Robert Scoble
John: while that's true, the economic bloggers haven't yet discovered friendfeed. Watch what happens when they do (I estimate that'll happen in 2010).
- Robert Scoble
Robert: So basically: I can use FF just as I use GR?
- Wilfredo Guerrero
there is no LIKES anywhere, I have to search for it. but I see how to search for the feeds now :)
- Brad_King
Wilfredo: that's how I use it. There is one HUGE difference, though. Friendfeed only displays headlines. If you get fast with Google Reader's keyboard shortcuts you can read more information because you don't need to click and wait (and reading in a feed reader is more productive, but only for power users).
- Robert Scoble
The great thing about GR is that you can enable it to "one touch" share on iPhone which posts to friendfeed and then to twitter, etc. There is no better way to quickly scan and share on the iPhone.
- Stephen M. Otto
Brad: what are you talking about? Everyone on friendfeed has a likes page. Just click on your name to go to your account's home page then click on the "likes" on the top of that page (you can do that with anyone's account).
- Robert Scoble
I'm learning things.
- anna sauce
Robert: Well actually I've gotten to the point that now I have all my items collapsed so I only see the titles. If it seems interesting I click on it and read on, then decide if I share or not. I really cut down on the time spent reading all my feeds. Just skimming and sharing what I like. Now 500+ items are scanned without much hassle.
- Wilfredo Guerrero
I think it is about time to let go the idea of socializing Google Reader any more,Friendfeed does that job very well.
- Steve Chou
Why? Google reader is one of my most favorite web app~~ annnnd it's getter even better everyday.
- yanchao
I see Google Reader as an important ingredient to FriendFeed, as others use Twitter. I also recognize that many people rely on my shares as an information filter. It also helps me get the top news fast. Combined with FriendFeed, it's a great 1-2 combination.
- Louis Gray
if i use (as i do) twitter+friendfeed and sometimes facebook, and i don't have time to look at google reader. my problem is that i have difficulties in choosing feeds, i have a lot of blogs/sites i follow in google reader, and i find it very hard to reduce that number: suggestions?
- Ivana
Ivy : Sort your feeds by order of priority. I did that about a month ago, and that rocks. It enables you to realize you never read some feeds (or don't want to) whereas they're supposed to be in your A-list ...
- stanjourdan
Anyway to get FF to show content of RSS including images? The Custom RSS/Atom w/ description as comment option shows the text description, but no other HTML. I'd like to keep a similar reading experience as Google Reader if possible.
- Jonathan Brown
Friendfeed is great, and I love the filters. But for in depth info nothing beats Greader. Robert Scoble clearly invest a ton of time in Friendfeed, and therefore he/you can enjoy sparring with 100s of people in a way that others can't - their name just don't draw a crowd. Well, the point being, for me who accept that I cannot invest that amount of time in Friendfeed, then Greader will always have a much higher signal to noise ratio, and therefore be of much more value.
- Peter Efland
Peter: that's bull. You can subscribe to the exact same people in friendfeed and set it up so it only shows you their RSS feeds and then you'll see EXACTLY the same things you'll see in Google Reader. Also, you're wrong twice. Why? Because the things that get likes and comments have much HIGHER signal to noise ratio so you can filter on just those. That's EXACTLY why Google Reader is noisier for me. I can't filter it.
- Robert Scoble
I was curious as to the reason why your shared items are more or less extinct - now I know. Though I agree that likes can take the place of "shared" items on Google Reader and FF serves as a much better place for discussion, I like how streamlined Google Reader is and how much easier it is to keep track of items you read and items of relevance. Currently, one of my only complaints with...

- Angus Burton
I agree,it is a little bit hard to track yesterday's good stuff,FF only means right now,maybe that's what Real time streams lack of
- Steve Chou
good point Steve Chou. Real time often makes it hard to find what was before. I agree with Angus Burton as well. It is far easier to go in and sum up on blogs in Greader or find old posts. Greader does have a google search so though you can't save the searches, they are quite easy to filter... I would love to ditch my Greader for Friendfeed, but it just doesn't do it.... but maybe its not one or the other... maybe they can be complimentary
- Peter Efland
Strangely I never used Google Reader until I watched Roberts interview with the Feedly founder and wanted to use Feedly, so I imported my world of RSS feeds into Google, and that was the last time I physically visited GR. I do all my adding and organizing from feedly. As for sharing I use the FF (likes and comments) integration built-into feedly to push content here and from here to...
more...
- Kevin Murray
For me, Google Reader and Feedly provide stronger features for feed reading than Friendfeed. I especially need list view and mark as read. Friendfeed should offer the option to hide all comments by default (displaying headers only) and to mark the current page or all as read. I stopped visiting the FF home page quite a few weeks ago -- I don't have time to wade through all the comments.
- Sean McBride
Robert, appreciate your comment, and you're right. I know I can import blogs as imaginary friends. Though in my opinion the signal to noise of likes in Friendfeed are still way too much quantity instead of quality - This is clearly shown in the "best of day" feeds, which are often just ridiculous...
- Peter Efland
I'm sticking with Google Reader. First, FF (and Twitter) inevitably become rivers of info. For many of my sources, I don't want a river, I want a cup, and I want to see it all. Second, the bulk of the people I follow (who are NOT social media mavens) are still blogging, nowhere near Twitter, much less Friendfeed. The latter will change, but the former will not.

What is wrong with commercial sites?
- Alexander Kohlhofer
I don't he's saying there's anything wrong with commercial sites Alex...i think he's just saying that most of these are commercial and they didn't include many non-commercial
- Zee.
Yes, that's what I said. I use commercial products in my workday: Basecamp, Unfuddle, FreshBooks. I only say that Smashing Magazine picked a lot of commercial products while there are a lot of free/open source software that are really good too. And since they are providing a review/list of products they should include non-commercial for the users don't want to pay, and also to let gain some recognition to that people that offer their work for free.

I guess it is hard to make a comprehensive list of anything online - and even if one was it would not provide much value as the editorial comment / review is what is often most interesting imho. But i get your point - thanks for clarifying.
- Alexander Kohlhofer
strange choice, several of them are ticketing systems or accounts more than project management, perhaps the title could have been better
- Iphigenie
@Jason You're right. But also Smashing Magazine is reviewing many bug tracking softwares. 16bugs is one for example.

Smashing Mag is very popular. I just love it! I link to them a lot on my Diigo Groups. :)

ZDNet is totally wrong here. Their philosophy sucks. If someone else does the work, give them the credit. Otherwise you are just stealing and being a parasite.
- Robert Scoble
@Scobelizer So true, anyone not crediting is a parasite or in my opinion at least a plagarist. Then again isn't there something about Open Social being stolen. Some other creative small team came up with it before it was sort of stolen by some big company, think it was Google.

"I have had the misfortune of personally making every one of these mistakes during my years as a software entrepreneur. I am currently reviewing a startup that seems to be trying really, really hard to make all of them in one go. As a result, I decided to put this list together in the hopes of saving as many startups as possible from crashing in to the rocks of false hope and misguided thinking."

- Zee.
It seriously is great Zee, though your life will now be friendfeed, even more than previous!

unfortunately can't get it to even appear in adium
- Zee.
Oh? All I needed to do was add the user to Jabber, auth with username/remote key, and I have a lovely stream of posts... there was downtime for 1min, maybe try again?
- Matt Frog
@Zee I've added it to Adium and works great. Just added it as a Gtalk contact, not Jabber.

This stinks big time! i hate the inaccuracies of these lame, half-cooked voting machine doo hikeys or whatever they are. We need tighter controls, standards and validation testing ... hello! why doesn't the Gov enforce this stuff better? really scary!

I like this tool a lot. Helps u figure out who's a bot or scraper or who may have unfollowed you. 1 thing I learned the hard way tho: I was copying & pasting handles for lots of users & accidentally copied a space and it gave me false results which made me unfollow a few people that I shouldn't have. Had to track back & double check once I discovered the space in the name was the culprit.
