Waseem Sadiq, CTO (left) and Khuram Hussain are showing me how you can send emails and messages to Twitter, Facebook, and others. It is in private beta now, will launch later this year. http://www.inbox2.com Does all sorts of useful stuff like forwarding, copying, etc. "It is really hard to build a good email client," says Sadiq. They nailed it, must try it.
- Robert Scoble
Can we get an invite code? :)
- Aaron Myers
Invite Code please! ?
- Jigar Mehta
Yeah Robert, ask them to let you post some invite codes to FriendFeed!
- Ben Kessler
Get us all hyped up and no codes? C'mon Robert, score some codes for us.
- Jim Graham
Robert, score a code, for a Pie ala mode...:)
- Fred Tabsharani
Codes, or it didn't happen!
- David Lloyd
Actually just requested an invite code last week. Would love one if you have any.
- Kevin Whalen
Invite code :) please
- Susan Beebe
Well now we're all interested. So invite codes would be awesome. Please.
- Vlad Bobleanta
sounds awesome - yes, codes!
- Karma Martell
another request for some codes...
- Paul
Very cool. I can imagine this being something to tie me over until Google Wave is released. I presume the transition to Google Wave from Inbox2 will be a ease?
- Vinko
me want codes now, give um me code
- David Lloyd
Yep yep, give us some codes please.
- Bhavishya Kanjhan
I think I can see you from here :)
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Just go to their site, they will send you the codes in an email.
- Elizabeth Good
sometime next year maybe!
- David Lloyd
How long does it take for them to send the invite?
- Kevin Whalen
from email
Robert, thx for the plug! Everybody that wants an invite just leave your email address on the website (www.inbox2.com), will take a few weeks before you get one tho, due to the infrastructure we're setting up to serve u all :-)
- Waseem Sadiq
'a few weeks'!! we'll have all forgotten about it by then! -- you've got our interest now (it's about 20 people, how much infrastructure would be required?)
- Paul
Hehe that is true, but if I let you guys in now I might end up spoiling the zen like email experience once its good enough. I'll tell you what, if you are willing to try out the product and tell us how we can improve it, or blog about it, Í will get you an invite (waseem at inbox2 dot com)
- Waseem Sadiq
we are btw also on twitter @inbox2 @waseemsadiq and our blog http://blog.inbox2.com (shameless self promotion)
- Waseem Sadiq
Cool! Email sent.
- Kevin Whalen
from email
Eh, looks like an AIR app.
- Akiva Moskovitz
hmm, me thinks: Soon, a Scoblizer recommendation will be as mighty as being listed in Oprah's book club list...
- t i n y m
What a tease! I have already requested for an invite and now waiting...thanks Robert.
- Rahul Mirakhur
hmm... over a month and no response... oh well
- Kevin Whalen
Yeah, ditto -- and after they asked us to email them so they could add us to the beta list...
- Paul
You guys allready seen this? http://www.inbox2.com/account...

thanks Lou, trying it out

Seems like a great service BUT I don't want to change my e-mail address to anything because then the company /could/ change my password and hi-jack my account.
- Aaron Myers
@Aaron: You're right about this, though.

I'm really enjoying this, takes about 3 clicks away from managing my followers

awesome - looking forward to trying it out - thanks!
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Looks good, I'll give it a try. Thank you!
- Frank Kammerdiener
To those who afraid to change email address - we understand you and wish we had a workaround for this. Meanwhile, if you have a Gmail account you can setup a filter to forward the Twitter notifications to us. Please note that this only works with Gmail.

Great idea, I'll set that up now!

Can I like this 3x. Thanks for a GREAT recommendation, Bwana. My new fave Firefox extension.
- Leo Laporte
Wow, even the screensaver function is cool...I might be leaning to feedly and away from greader...
- Anthony Farrior
Revisited based on a few 'endorsements' here on FF. Wow. Easy, fast, just cool.
- Charlie Anzman
What are the implications of "no thanks"? Same as "Mark as read"?
- Andrew Smith
@cecily if you get a chance, go to the feedly dashboard (through dashboard link at the top right of the screen) and click on the star next to the sources you like the most and see if the what's new page looks any better. The other option is to click on the "cover" icon on the top left on the nav bar and see if that view is more diggestable. If you have specific ideas on how to make the interface more appealing let us know!
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@andrew no thanks = mark the article as read + let the feedly recommendation engine know that you did not like this recommendation. This metadata is then used with other criteria to unfluence future recommendations.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@Edwin, thanks, good to know.
- Andrew Smith
@Bwana Where is Feedly video, I love Bwana TV more than Scobleizer TV : ))

- Bwana ☠
I tried it but wasn't that impressed with it.
- BCK
Looks promising, but I'm always suspicious of extensions that don't come from Mozilla addons site...
- João Almeida
What do you guys say to the folks who say Feedly crapped all over their Google Reader (adding feeds to it)?
- David Risley
It's in this thread David: http://friendfeed.com/e... We asked for a bigger warning since the one there is easily missed, the Feedly guys chime in as to why they did it that way. It doesn't "crap" all over your feed, it does create new folders, but they are easily removed. They are working on an undo procedure as well.
- Bwana ☠
@Bwana waiting impatiently : )
- Erhan
Oh my lord. I just checked my Google Reader, it's has 2348279384723 new feeds. Thanks Freedly.
- Aaron Myers
want to see converstaion integrated to feedly. then it really rocks. someone out there should get ff and disqus into feedly in an api way.
- kosmar
I was sort of suprised that some were vehement about the "crap". I woke up and still am enthralled.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
I love it!!! The only feature I'd add is the ability to customize how my emailed items look...
- Kenneth LeFebvre
@David Risley fixed. feedly has now a better msg and automated-undo http://edwink.devhd.com/2008...
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I'm really liking Feedly as well. We'll see how it goes
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
iGoogle has been my home page for well over a year and what I have found is that via widgets its generally there for me to either click on gmail or to go into google reader - the other widgets are generally worth an odd glance but thats about it - I've put feedly as my home page and will see how this works out - but first impressions is a clean easy to use interface even if you have a few hundred feeds to juggle..
- Jican
Feedly is awesome: I had a few hiccups after installation, but I re-installed, and it has been a real help in 2 ways: 1) motivated me to clean up my feeds and sort them into a major category 2)motivates me daily to actually skim through and read the content that is closest to my current interests. well done!
- Terri MacMillan
LOVE Feedly.
- Fleagle
I want it for chrome. Any chance?
- میر «عرفان» موسوی
Not dissing Feedly, but didn't experience anything that made me want to give up Google Reader when I tried Feedly a few months ago. Anyone care to explain why I should try again?
- Chris Stevenson
I don't work for them, so I don't see a reason to convince you. Some people like it, some don't.
- Fleagle
Hi Chris: feedly tries to provide a magazine like summary of your google reader. Some users only care about productivity and find the magazine like interface a step backward. Some users like it and use it in concert with their google reader. Some people prefer using the magazine like interface only.

Great service, I use it all the time. Do you use it as your main number or do you just use it for select people?
- Aaron Myers
I use it for screening primarily so most contacts have my real #, but I'll transfer my real # to Voice when that is avail
- Cameron Johnson
Yeah, I use it to screen people as well. I use it on all kinds of forms because I hate telemarketers. I always fear that Google would end the Google Voice platform and I would have to move my number back to my phone carrier and/or give everyone a new number.

People who put their Twitter URL on their business cards may be making a mistake.
I agree, because anyone that visits your Twitter page gets to know if you're "partying and getting wasted at the local bar" or whatever.

Didn't you say something similar about the Nokia N97 a few months ago?
- Beau Giles
You've got to tell me more than that for me to believe why you might throw your Mac away??
- Aaron Myers
Really - with the build quality they are renown for!!
- Ian Lewis
If it runs windows 7 then at least there is some reason for this madness. Anything else and you've completely lost your mind!
- Devlin Dunsmore
Amit: I can't explain why, sorry, but this will get a lot of attention and Apple will have to react to it. Why do you think Apple has been attacking Windows 7?
- Robert Scoble
Looks like a "laptop" and it's "black".
- thund3rbox
Yes, it looks sleek, but it's still a Dell.
- Bob Young
Dude! You're getting a Dell!
- Andrew Lombardi
From the keyboard, it looks like a 15.4" or 17" widescreen that's super thin. (keyboard is chiklet-style)
- Eugene Hsu
You can't throw out your mac! You'll eventually be crawling back.
- Matt Ruiz
Yes, I got excited by the Palm Pre but I don't think I said the Pre would get me to throw away my iPhone. Of course we don't know what Apple will do but this will make Apple guys at least raise their eyebrows.
- Robert Scoble
Throwing away your Mac is a bad idea.
- Louis Gray
May I suggest to sell The Original Scoble MacBook Pro on ebay and hand the money in for charity?
- Ralf Rottmann
NokiaN97 does widescreen videos with new Qik, by the way. iPhone doesn't.

Don't throw your Mac away!! Keep it as 'backup', you might need it ... ;) ;)
- Ronald
Asgod: believe me Engadget will be all over this.
- Robert Scoble
This was rolled out to selected laptop users 4-5 months ago, wasn't it? Lots of drooling, if I recall. But you should keep your Mac as a backup. And so far as "I can't tell you how I got this photo ..." is concerned, what's with the name tag on the fellow doing the Vana White?

Robert, how about donating it to JHTC (for auctioning) to help us launch our charitable arm?

- RobinDotNet
@Robert "Steve: all I can say is it has stuff Apple doesn't yet do...." TBH, there has been a lot of things the Macbook line hasn't been up to par feature wise for a long time. This isn't nothing new. My 1yr old XPS has eSATA, "F/W", "ExpressCard", 10in1 MMC, Biometrics, HDMI, Blu Ray, 4USB and integrated 3G all of which would be 'show stoppers' if Apple announced them. So its all relative.
- Adi
Adi, those features would become "amazing" and "new" were they announced by Apple -- much the same way that video is suddenly an amazing new feature of iPhones.
- Christopher A Carr
Only two factory stickers, not bad!
- Onar Vikingstad

Mathew: I would imagine it would, but I don't have it to try that, so will have to wait to tell you definitively.
- Robert Scoble
Thanks, Robert. Being out of the music & video biz since '97 has me playing catch up. The KDHX studios where I will be working are a mac house.

Since it looks like a shell.. I will assume its the touchscreen with MS Surface on Windows 7 :)

To back Robert up, I got to try this bad boy right after him. And I can agree, this will make me switch too (after 25 solid years of Mac OS) Holy crap, Dell must have a secret time machine in the basement if 1/2 of these "special" features are true. WOW WOW WOW, and price...WOW!!!
- sean andersen
Robert, Honestly I am not really impressed by the picture, as some mentioned before it most likely is not Mac OS X, is it? And what about battery life, does it match the MBP 17 inch battery life time?
- Peter Simoons
I don't believe you :) Let's revisit this thread when it comes out and see if you follow through
- Bwana ☠
who's is it? I'll just ask them.
- Mark Essel
So this is going to bring beleaguered Dell out of the doldrums? Apple did that, but I'll not hold my breath because of Dell's basic build-em-cheap philosophy.
- Rick Cogley
there's claims it is sporting a Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD, Series 4 for video.. if so, that's one giant missed opportunity!
- alphaxion
touch screen would be great, there is a big need in netbooks because of the improvement of usable input area
- Mike Chelen
ok, I'm also intrigued. I can't figure out what is so special about this new notebook.

- mikepk
mikepk: there are more features than that that Apple doesn't yet have. Gotta wait, though, I promised not to leak.
- Robert Scoble
Dont throw it away! Im sure there are plenty of people that would love to have your old mac!
- James Hague
If it doesn't run OS X it's pointless.
- Peter Kruit
Peter: it runs it, but you can't buy OSX legally for use on non Apple computers. I totally disagree with your thesis, though. I'm running Windows 7 right now on my Mac and it works VERY NICELY.
- Robert Scoble
I'm sure Windows 7 is working nicely, but Windows just doesn't compare to OS X. Mind you, I've only been using OS X for a year now. Before that I was a Windows/DOS user.
- Peter Kruit
Peter: again, I totally disagree. It's clear you haven't tried Windows 7 out on your Mac yet. There are many things in it that are nicer than Apple has. Especially the toolbar and especially Google Chrome.
- Robert Scoble
I have tried Windows 7. It's the same registry and DLL hell that it's always been.
- Peter Kruit
Agree with Scoble... Win7 has many things nicer than OSX.
- Adnan
Peter: I haven't had a problem with DLL hell and the registry for years. I guess you still trying to run VB 2.0 apps? ;-)
- Robert Scoble
1. Never put anything into the registery unless it will affect another part of the system. 2. DLL hell ended in Win98. WinXP/2000 added a way to solve all DLL problems with no rebooting, but the coders have been lazy/ignorant (see #1).

I switched to Macs 3 years ago but I have to say Windows 7 will make me rethink that decision. It is much more than a "Vista Service Pack".
- Steve de Mena
My husband has a Dell laptop and it's really nice, so I am definitely gonna check the Z out...
- Susan Beebe
Peter: It is possible to install MAC OSX on your Dell thanks to the OSx86 Project: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki... Although it may not be entirely legal this is still going to happen and Apple should roll with it and embrace the hacker culture. If this Dell can run Boot Camp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...), and give users the option of running either Mac or Vista that would be awesome!
- Garin Kilpatrick
Garin: that's possibly the ultimate manifestation of "lipstick on a pig"!

Is there some new synchronization feature using Microsoft's Mesh technology or something? Win7 is suppose to have some Mesh tech built-in.

Jason: it doesn't have Vista. Thanks for playing.
- Robert Scoble
any idea if this is a joint effort with the alienware talent they acquired?
- Trey Philips
Even so, it's a Dell with Windows. If it's touchscreen, great. Facial recognition? Bleh. Unless it runs on cold fusion and can predict the future, it's still just a Dell with Windows. That said, I love W7. But I love Mac OS X much more.
- Jason, Incognito
Jason: let's talk after you see it. You might still be a Mac fan but you will at least pause after you see the secret stuff this does.

I remember when Apple's PowerBooks had that rubbery/leathery black finish. Dell's bringing the PowerBook-y back, evidentally.
- Wade Dorrell
Fair enough. I believe you saw some things that really were impressive, so I suppose I can withhold judgement. I'm just naturally skeptical of "this is a Mac killer" or "this is an iPod killer" comments, since so many have tried and ultimately failed.
- Jason, Incognito
Jason: You are right on. And furthermore, many have not even really "tried". Nothing out there that claims to even compete with Apple products have put close to the level of time, resource, and dollar investment in design and software that Apple has. Anyone who has been in the tech industry for the past 10 years now knows that there's Apple and then a bunch of pretenders and bad imitators.

I've never had a single problem with Dell support. Apple's on the other hand is useless. 10 working day repair time for a machine, compared to next business from Dell. Had to repair a failing disk ourselves because Apple wouldn't replace it, if tech tools said it was bad, 'tech tools isn't any good', and when disk utility said it was bad, 'tech tools is more accurate'. Wouldn't put anything important on Apple hardware or support.

I don't mean for me to manually do it, I'd like to see a feature where you post a FriendFeed link in TweetDeck or DestroyTwitter and it will automatically convert the link to ff.im
- Aaron Myers
TweetDeck and DestroyTwitter apps not under FF's control, are they?
- ianf ⌘
No, but like with Flickr and Digg, links can be shortened using the API and/or public tools. Didn't know of FriendFeed made that available.
- Aaron Myers
FF makes ff.im (="FF I am" ;-)) shorturls available through Share dialog, but not as far as I can see, through its API. Nor is there a way to submit granular-anchor-FF url to it and receive a shortened one in return (i.e. I could not refer to your comment above the ff.im way, while I CAN refer to it with this laboriously-extracted tinyurl <http://tinyurl.com/qlcwch>). So, are you just assuming FF API can be used for that, or do you KNOW IT for sure?
- ianf ⌘
ianf, how did you manufacture THAT tinyurl? über-cool!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
It's very laborious, involves looking under the hood for a specific comment, extracting its id-string, tacking it manually onto the permalink, and submitting to tinyurl. Could have been achieved much easier if FFeeders thought of it, and subscribers cared about it/ kept requesting it. Here's my once-suggestion: <http://ff.im/2uBFP> and also read this <http://friendfeed.com/search...>
- ianf ⌘
I see I though that was a good idea. ;-) I still think it is. The self-referencing search in fun. I almost commented on this while I was commenting on it. But yes, the hashanchors on comments would be AWESOME.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I also have managed to self-reference the very comment the link appeared in, but it involves two-step saving and editing of it. Better FF would preindex "last+1 comment," so it could be extracted from page's source before comment was posted (this would create some confusion if two or more people commented the same thread at once, but I'd still be willing to live with the...

I like the app but feel it lacks polish and feels a bit clunky in areas. I also think the the interface elements are not as economic as TweetDeck and with the requirement of no less than three columns open at a time, efficiency is paramount. I check Facebook only every few hours so the feature set for FB do not interests me and I actually prefer the UI in the FB feed to 3rd party apps.

Upgraded to Seismic today -- it supports Hebrew. (Most people don't care but I do)
- Rebecca Rachmany
Trying it out now I really love Tweetdeck but the thought of managing multi accounts is attractive.

Obviously HP had something to do with this music video, but it's nothing more than product placement. Good video though.

The ones who complain the most about friendfeed beta are the ones who follow the most. Me? I just ride the wave and use the features. :-)

Ride the wave. I like that. Good way of putting it.

if you use the pause button and filters, i don't see the problem. really, why slow down information? it just takes some getting used to, but give em time...
- MG Siegler
Hit pause and relax. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Change happens everyday in everyones life , always .. why resist it . Roll with it !
- johnpiercy
It looks like it
- Peter Urban
I'm following 11.5k people and I'm not complaining..I think its awesome!
- Nicholas James
The pause icon is too small... I want a keyboard shortcut (space bar). And now! :)
- Jérôme Flipo
It looks like it's a massive improvement. I always found the old interface very confusing.
- Peter Urban
Aesthetics matter and this beta is literally rough around the edges.
- Andrew Smith
I'll try building up groups later.. maybe that makes "riding the wave" more beginner friendly :)
- Dan van Moll
My initial reaction to the new real-time stream, besides it being a little too fast, is that it has very little value as a conversational tool. It's a little chaotic. I do like that we can toggle between standard and real-time.
- Phil Essing
@Phil: Consider the main page stream as a flow of information.. All discussions you jumped into are listed within "my discussions" anyway.
- Dan van Moll
Bring on the noise.
- Louis Gray
It seems to be the trend these days. Whenever some site comes out with new features people have to complain first, test later.
- Heidi Cool
isn't this a good excuse to group your users?? if you follow over 100 people, then GROUP them! otherwise its unreadable.. as LG said (seconds ago) BRING ON THE NOISE!!
- Jez Arnold
@Daniel: Definitely. The stream is basically a real-time Twitter, with the added element of being able to see what your followers' friends are saying.
- Phil Essing
@Paul Buchheit: Please build a new Chromium derivative browser around FriendFeed. Also pls add SocialMedian-style "replize". Thanks!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
connecting to friendfeed for the first time from iPhone any plans for ff to release their own app? any recs for apps avail now?
- roger byrne
@roger byrne: FF has an iPhone optimized version at http://friendfeed.com/iphone/ Navigate to the page with your iPhone and create a springboard icon (bookmark).
- Phil Essing
The UI is completely different, but I love the live feed, it's neat.
- Aaron Myers
Looks like they really took your "FriendFeed is too complex for most" post to heart.. question is, will it be too late to matter (I doubt they're getting mentions off of CNCBC, CNN, etc. anytime soon)? BTW I wrote a riff on your post back then: http://businessmindhacks.com/post...
- Alex Schleber
BTW, do you think they will introduce comment threading? I could really see that helping (wish Twitter had a feature to expand convos on the fly in the Web interface the way that Search.twitter.com already allows)
- Alex Schleber
@Phil Essing Thanks for the reply will check it out had a go using MotherFeed on the iphone but wasnt impressed! Cheers!

@answers What are the best applications for the Blackberry Curve 8900?
Email, GMAIL, Facebook, Google Maps
- Aaron deMello
@Aaron - yeah, everything you said.
- Aaron Myers
I vote the new Gmail as one of the best, tightest mobile apps. So well done. I love iPhone but its hard to beat how shrewd Blackberry apps can be with your data usage.
- Aaron deMello
This box here front and center just makes me want to type stuff. Like Twitter. Well played Facebook.
I'm glad you have the new homepage, I've yet to see it.
