How loyal are you really to Google Search? I am curious to know how many would switch in a heart beat if better search was found elsewhere.

I'd have to do a lot of research; took me awhile to leave altavista
- clarke thomas
I don't think I'd leave Google Search any time soon. I was a Lycos holdout for a long time (it wasn't even that good, anyway), but it'd take a lot to beat Google feature- and performance-wise...
- Tyson Key
I wouldn't necessarily switch 'in a heartbeat' but if another engine comes along that's proven to be better than Google, I'd use it.
- Akiva
Honestly, I don't know how something could be better than Google. Of course, that was said about Yahoo! or Altavista, etc. I use Google because it gives the results I need.
- caj
@Akiva I think Google was very clever to integrate Search into all their products because it means (at least for me) that its not just about Search anymore. Its not a 1-1 question.
- Roger Kondrat
@Tyson @Alan I think you both have a point, its 'unlikely' but as I said above when it happens it had better be dramatic like Google was to Yahoo because there are lots of benefits to being a Google user.
- Roger Kondrat
The thing is, like with most services, it can't just be better. It has to be 10x as good to get the mass 'in a heart beat' switch. Also, I have just got my mum to stop using MSN search (the default on her computer) and she loves Google now.
- Johnny
@JW agreed. Not sure about 10x but definitely 'substantially' better to the eye of the beholder. M$ has recently stated they are going to release just that this spring. We shall see what the future brings I guess.
- Roger Kondrat
if something better is found. i'll switch. until then I'm 100% Google!
- Alex
Roger - I thing most people are still 'creatures of habit' overall. It would take a lot of buzz (and ongoing chatter) to change 'Google It' .... at least for now.
- Charlie Anzman
Search is a commodity, at least to me. True commodities are substitutes for each other, so yeah, I'd switch if the opportunity arose.
- Tom Landini
google is great but when i really need to 'search' i use clusty or kosmix. clusty because it has better filter and kosmix because its better semantically and make 'guides' out of my query! try it!
- cysko
I came for Search, I stayed for Mail/Talk, Search History, Maps, Sites, Analytics and Code...
- Tyson Key
I'm with Tom: it's a commodity. On top of that, Google's too big -- so it doesn't have to be BETTER, just AS GOOD. I'd definitely switch to an equal competitor.

I will never ditch RSS. It is too easy and great. I don't check as often as Twitter, but I can save posts and refer back to them when I need to. I can also easily find blogs there, rather than my bookmarks, which is flooded. Twitter is GREAT, but who knows if it will last? MySpace was great once, too. RSS is more stable than a social network, and easier to sort (no hashtags required).
- Angela Wilson
I wouldn't. For the Twitter and RSS have different uses. And I wouldn't spam the people that follow me at twitter with links to posts.

Twitter is too ephemeral... would need some organization (folders/tags/saved-searches) and mark-as-read functionality at the very least for me to even consider it. RSS is essential to me for required reading and for discovery.

Ditching RSS in lieu of Twitter?? What's next, ditching email for DM's? Not a smart move.
- Kevin Pruett
I think Kevin just summed it up nicely. I'll just add: The number of websites who provide real-time updates to Twitter is minuscule. When that changes, then we'll talk about swapping RSS for Twitter.
- Alexander Grundner
Nope, absolutely not. Twitter serves its purpose as microblogging and link sharing but RSS still has a purpose for me. Not everything I read is shared through Twitter (actually, I should hope not!). If I got all my news through Twitter, it would be more of an echo-chamber than it already is. Further more, I work in marketing. I use RSS to keep up with client industry news and to aggregate information. Twitter cannot do this for me.

OK, so this post brought out mostly RSS lovers (which I remain). Yet why is it that some are now railing against RSS? Here's another thought RSS = a standard. We have no standards for status updates and thus Twitter and Facebook are in the driver's seat. RSS is final and stable.
- Steve Rubel
Nope. I see different uses in the different services. I like the organization of a reader. and I like your comment about the standards and stability and lack thereof on Twitter and FB. Also, I like to pick my news sources and trust that I am getting something accurate. SkyGrid is a nice combination of real fast / real time and reliable.

- Violet Mae Lim
That question is ridiculous. RSS is far easier to manage and customize and can deliver a lot more information. Watching the interests of your social graph on Twitter is great, but far more and higher quality information can be consumed, (re)organized, and aggregated with a good RSS reader.

I think there is some confusion here. Are we talking about giving up on the technology that is called RSS, or are we simply talking about switching the platform on which we consume these ie. ditching google reader for friendfeed or twitter. Friendfeed lives on RSS feeds, the links you get on twitter most probably come straight out of someone's rss reader. The question is, if we ditch...

it is like dithing your car for fishing: they are not the same. More precisely, Rss gives you focuses attention on the sources of information. Twitter gives you second hand check-it-outs that are possibly not so focused or accurate, but *seem* more urgent because they are in real time.

- Rajtilak Bhattacharjee
For ordinary web users who are only interested in a handful of feeds, maybe 10 or 20 then twitter beats a feed reader hands down. Much simpler to use, easy to understand and real time. Plus twitter has the social media/communication features. However power users that are tracking 100 or more feeds need a reader for their research. The google reader / feedly combination is hard to beat for these people.

- Mike Bracco
your followings are your feed source - Human Syndication. spending most of your time on Twitter, you dont have time to switch to RSS. Also, with RSS feeds coming from media companies, news may not break as quickly with human syndication which Twitter provides. With RSS feeds coming from Blogs, the news will have broken out on Twitter prior to that blogger's RSS feed hitting you somehow...

RSS bankrupcy. Hundreds of blogs unread. By reading Twitter only on the web and not on the phone, and using Twitter search, I get what I get. The rest finds its way, so I don't have to pile up enormous wads of reading in my Google reader. RSS is still absolutely vital, however, for those who block you on Twitter. You search their name, RSS the search results, read them on Google. My new Google read attention space is the ppl like @ajkeen who have blocked me on Twitter.

@ Rodfather, completely agree that they started sucking when Cliff died. It went downhill from there. Load/Re-Load = nail #1 in coffin. Napster/P2P bashing = nail #2 in coffin.

Pretty simple actually. Allow me to explain: Metallica started big with Kill 'em All, then rose with Ride the Lightning. The pinnacle point was Master of Puppets. Then Cliff Burton died, and the slow decline began with ...and Justice for All. The Black Album had them sink even further. After that, it was well below the radar.

Doesn't the iPod app run in the background?
i believe the core apps run in the background. SMS, Email, iPod, Safari, etc.
- Alex
So why can't Apple let app developers run other stuff in the bg? Seems silly
- Dean
i think Apple's 3 concerns were Battery, Memory and Security. Rumors are they may allow some background apps in 2.3.
- Alex
ah, of course.
- Dean
There is a Jailbroken app called Backgrounder that let's you run any app that you want in the background

How’s Your Battery Life With iPhone OS 2.2.1? - http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009...

I have yet to update to 2.2.1. Anyone here notice any difference in battery from 2.2 to 2.2.1?

It's hit or miss at the moment. It can be stellar, and it can be awful. It's basically a crap shoot.
- Mike Nayyar
So basically the same as 2.2? I think it's a mental thing - upgrade and you get paranoid about your battery...
- David Bisset (sn)
Same. As good as it was in 2.2.
- Paul Grav
I have not upgraded to 2.2.1 just yet, but when I upgraded to 2.2, I noticed a difference. I did some testing and found that the drain was related to Exchange Push. Here's my write up: http://www.thebernharts.com/archive...
- Neil Bernhart
Push email is a battery killer - it's also over rated. Management training used to teach you to take control of interuptions. Push email is just a series of interuptions - I used a blackberry for 2 years, I'm more productive without it.
- Shauns
I've found the biggest drains are WiFi being on when you aren't using it and some apps left running when you hit the power button. The iphone is the single worst phone I've had when it comes to battery life. But then, that might be because I use it quite a bit.
- alphaxion
No difference for me. My battery is usually done by around 7-8pm, later if I turn off wifi.

I get 3 days battery life on my little non-PDA cell phone and I'm SOOO happy I don't have AT&T.
- TranceMist
My battery life is worse, about 30% less efficient (estimating)
- Wes Hoogenboom
I charge once a day.
- orionstarr
Horrible. I can´t get throught the day with a night charge.
- Pedro Rodrigues
I noticed on mine if I charge it for 30 minutes or so that charge holds for awhile
- orionstarr
up to 2 days, charged when sync, about 20 min

My mum hasn't updated her iPhone 3G since she got it! That was like June 2008. She is annoyed that some of the Apps she wants won't work though... I'll update it for her soon enough.
- Liyan Brown
I have not noticed the difference I tend to be no more than 20 feet from a charger!
- Carl Plant
mine battery's fine. it gets me through a full day with a few dozen % left
- Alex
No difference
- LoreArtifex
I haven't noticed any difference.
