Good article, I don't go to many conferences but I can see where that sort of stuff can be distracting and annoying.
- Phil G
Yeah, why pay $2000 to attend a conference when the action is on Friendfeed?
- Morton Fox
I've seen similar behavior at music concerts where folks are more concerned about recording the show / taking pics rather than kicking back and enjoying the event.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I agree, the panelists trying to stream is silly, but then again, we go to most conferences for the meetings in the halls, not the panels.

What percentage of your work do you do in a browser vs. desktop apps? Other than Office, I pretty much use web apps full time.
Diana Valerini, Sumit Chachra, Sutee Dee and 25 other people liked this
I pretty much use web apps full time too. The only exceptions are my accounting package and development tools - Mail, IM, docs, etc..are all browser based.
- Kevin Cearns
Apart from OO Impress, I use Google docs for everything. If the classrooms I worked in had internet, I'd be desktop apps free.
- Rich
Easily 70% of my work is using web apps, because I am collaborating with people 3,000 miles away to get projects done.
- Liana Lehua
50% Lately I'm seeing some coworkers willing collaborate via Google docs as opposed to work email. I'm also regularly using Wetpaint for school projects.

I'm in love with web apps, but since browser can crash at any given minute, I turn the most used ones into desktop apps, but still Aviary doesn't replace Photoshop and I can't just code in Google Docs
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
What's a desktop app? :-)
- gfurry
Office and Itunes
- Alan King
Office, Visual Studio, PowerShell, Fireworks, I do lots in offline apps.
- Mack D. Male
Office, AutoCAD, PhotoShop...the A&E fields will never have web apps; too much horsepower required.
- JA Castillo
check out rescuetime.com it'll tell you exactly how much time you spend on each
- Christian Anderson
As few web apps as possible. Mail.app, Tinderbox, Things, NetNewsWire. I find that each is better and faster than its web "equivalent." OS Integration is important. And I am sick..to..death of logging into web apps.
- Jack Baty
Desktop apps are so last millennium.

- Bryan Thatcher
from twhirl
I use web apps a lot, maybe 50%. The other 50% of my computer usage is in SolidWorks & ProEngineer solid modeling/design/drafting software for my Engineering work, and Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop & Acrobat for my photography work. It will be a while before there will be web based versions of these apps with the necessary functionality and horsepower.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I have multiple systems, Vista, Kubuntu, eeePC Linux. The key apps for me are GoogleDocs, RememberTheMilk, GMail, GCal, MindMeister and lately LiquidPlanner. I really want to try SlideRocket for presentations. Not completely happy with GDoc presentations. The offline ability of GDoc and MindMeister are great. Use them in meetings quite often. Comm tools include Meebo, GTalk. Still using Skype and Gizmo for Voip.
- Dave Ploch
is AIR considered desktop or browser?
- Tyler Gillies
Let's see... Gmail, GDocs, GReader, RTM, FF, Twitter, Blogger... Aside from the occasional Office session, I use web apps.
- Voyagerfan5761
And I second @tylergillies' question: Is AIR desktop or web?
- Voyagerfan5761
With the abundance of AIR apps coming onto the sceen does anyone think we are going full circle back to the desktop app?
- John Daly
About 70% browser
- Charlie Anzman
10/90 - the browser is definitely a secondary app for me.
- Steven Hodson
I brows for info but I work in :real" apps. Audio / video editing, development, typesetting, 3D renders, photoshop.... browser apps suck for almost every task I do that is actual "work"

I'm spreading this conversation to my blog, I love the topic. I'm about 8% browser...only if twhirl and air apps are considered desk top.
- ryangraves
from twhirl
Almost all my time is spent in Firefox, Celtx, Photoshop, and Premiere, with Firefox monopolizing a lot of my attention.
- Roger Benningfield
I would say 65% web apps, 25% desktop, 10% mobile.
- Alex C. Williams
I split the time 50/50. The browser is always open, but so is twhirl or other AIR apps. I tend to use Google docs for smaller quicker notes, while of course heading to MS for papers and reports
- BCK
I don't have Office for Mac anymore. While I do use Keynote every once in a while, I've now gone to web apps even for my accounting and billing.
- francine
Depends on how you classify AIR! I still use Office, Photoshop, an FTP program, and Media Center, so I'll have to go with 40% desktop/60% web. If AIR is desktop app, then it's 50/50.
- Sarah Perez
The only desktop apps I use are my browser, ichat, excel, ppt, itunes, an irc client, textmate and a bunch of music/graphics apps (Cubase, CS3). Most everything else is in browser
- Deepak Singh
At work it is mostly desktop apps. At home, it is mostly web apps.
- Mike Wills
Forgot about Mindmeister and others. I keep trying them but MindManager continues to be faster and better. Some day the web versions may be as good, but not yet.

Friendfeed could benefit from a profile description, I want to know more about people, sometimes it's hard to tell from their shared items. Do you AGREE or DISAGREE?
Christian Burns , Martin Recke, Nicole Simon and 60 other people liked this
Agree. I believe this is already in the plans, and has been requested for some time.
- Louis Gray
At first blush, I would disagree. What could be more "profile-ish" than dozens of blog posts, tweets, photos, StumbledUpon items and more? I guess there's no downside to including it, but part of the beauty of FriendFeed is its simplicity -- and I'd hate to see that ruined.
- Mike Keliher
I was thinking that just a moment ago when someone new subscribed to me...it's hard to figure out who they are, and why they've found you...
- Trent Olson
Definitely agree.
- Chris Rossini
Agreed, but let's not go crazy with it... Location, maybe age....
- Chris Reed
that will save the click to the user's twitter page
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I want to be able to add in my dailymugshot profile so people can see how FriendFeed addiction ages me ala Whitney Houston style!
- Joe Dawson
AGREE. My usual process is to click over to their Twitter page and read their profile there.
- Damon Cortesi
from twhirl
Agree
- Hutch Carpenter
Amen - told the same to Paul else its always the usual suspects
- Mrinal Desai
from twhirl
One alternative would be to have the opportunity to import profile data from somewhere...say openID or something. I do think ff needs access to profiles, but I don't think I need yet another place to create a profile.
- Trent Olson
Fine import in, that's fine! FYI not everyone is going to be a twitter user.
- Jeremiah Owyang
I agree, but make it smart! Import data if possible. Data Portability is the way to go :-)
- Magnus Jonsson
from Alert Thingy
I've been thinking this as well. Why not have more detailed optional info, a link to their profile could easily be ignored by those craving simplicity.
- Leif Hansen
Ok, so if we want to import profiles from somewhere, what options would we like?
- Trent Olson
what about having something similar to retaggr, where your avatar allows to supplement a lot of info about you, without having to peruse lots of pages?
- Kara Carrell
from twhirl
Definitely agree-not enough to see their feed icons and avatar
- Mark Forman
from twhirl
of course some basic profile would be good but not another duplicate profile, rather an integration with a profile we could chose would be best, so a blog about page, linkedin or fb profile or even the basic ones of twitter or seesmic would be good - having to many diverse profile locations is such a waste in today's easily integrated online world
- mike "glemak" dunn
sorry one more point - this is not about authentication but rather information right, so a good transparent about page or the public linkedin profile is what I've been looking at and sometimes flickr because I find you can get a sense of someone by the photos they publish - but maybe that's just me ;)
- mike "glemak" dunn
Agree wholeheartedly that there is a need for profile info. If it's done by leveraging information from an existing source, the user needs to have the ability to specify the source, in order to control the messaging.
- Andrei M. Marinescu
from twhirl
AGREE
- Mark Dykeman
agree!
- Peter A. Mello
from Alert Thingy

- Carla Thompson

- sergiooo
Agree. Many things I'm inclined to share with the world don't necessary define me. Sometimes I share 'cause I believe others will benefit from something more than I would. So yeah, a proper place to better define myself would be nice.
- Jim Stanger
Agree. Because there are people behind names like mine.
- Dominic Jones
how about a room called 'about me?' that way you can opt in or not
- sergiooo
AGREE Was just thinking the same thing this morning.
- Marc Vermut
from twhirl
If you hover with your mouse over someone's name, the profile pop-up gives a short profile plus an indication of whether that person has subscribed to you, rather like Twitter Karma but hundred times better ;)
- Mario Olckers
Yes, a short profile would be of great help. kamla
- kamla bhatt
mario - true but its not a profile, its the list of aggregated sites, so from there you can go look at one of the about pages of a blog or a true profile page like linkedin
- mike "glemak" dunn
it would definitely be helpful to know a little more about people, but short profile
- Carolina Velis
Agree.
- Chris Nixon
Agreed.
- Holger Eilhard
Agreed.
- Thomas Hawk
Agreed. Was thinking that a couple weeks ago. I tend to click on people's Twitter or blog link to find the "about" info.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Totally. If you go to twitter and see my reference to "nude Oprah" you would then be completely disappointed when you arrive at my blog http://tinyurl.com/582z7o I vote for a profile on FF.
- Dan Covington
Agreed
- Rubin Sfadj
DISAGREE . They should keep it simple and avoid feature-creep.
- john conroy
I don't know. I tend to disagree. I want to get to know someone by what they feed, by how they comment, not by what they say in a profile. Not everyone can express themselves that way, but you can by what you feed, like and comment IMO.
- AJ Kohn
Jeez, Jeremiah. You've got access to my photos, videos, two blogs, and all the feeds I read.
- Christopher Harley
For now, you can always mouse over someone's name and see where it takes you. It's a good practice anyway because you can subscribe to their feed if you wish
- Charlie Anzman
AGREE. Going over to the ever-slow twitter just for the bio is, err, slow.
- Yuvi
Agreed.. Infact, I requested this before a long time.. http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Jigar Mehta
Agree - I tend to hover over their blog button to see what the name of it is
- Sarah Perez
Agree. Although Most Profiles don't really convey much directly, you can infer a lot from what the person is trying to paint.
- Parth Awasthi
from twhirl
Completely disagree. As someone said already, your stream is your profile.
- Neil Saunders
Agree - Their blog URI is the main thing.
- Franklin Pettit
It's especially bad when people don't have a blog feed to get an idea.
- Cyndy
I agree. Making the profiles searchable would also add value
- Mike Sansone
Agree :)
- Maryam Ardakani
agree.... web links are most important
- Stefan Hayden
yeah, I'm Definitely agree with you
- Zahra HB
DISAGREE. A think max you could you a profile sentence a la twitter, but it's almost more fun to infer/learn facts about the person from what they like, blog about, read and listen to.
- Cat Laine
Just for fun, I'd like to remind people that this is called FRIENDFeed. If you don't know who someone is, and you're not intrigued by what they've shared here, what would a little bio do to change that?
- Mike Keliher
I would have to say that FF is more of an aggregator with some bells & whistles. Some of the others services (blogs or facebook for example ) tend to be the places I'd expect to go for more info. Maybe the ability to add a link to the profile you wan to people to see?
- Joel Gray
agree...but, jsut need a link to a profile from linkedin, facebook, myspace, etc. all that i need to know is who is that person. w/o a blog (most have them though), it's hard to figure out from the screen name.
- don loeb
Agreed... I sometimes wonder why this person wants to follow me.
- Mike Wills
Not really. After all, FriendFeed links to many of the places where I have profiles - including a direct link to my LinkedIn profile.
- Simon Bisson
from Alert Thingy
FF is elegant enough as it is. I think that FF, as said above links to more that one place where my profile is stored. Which reminds me, it needs updating. Any tips??
- Roberto Bonini
AGREE! I've asked the FF team for this specific feature. Hope they're listening. :)
- Don MacAskill
I like the basic simplicity of it. If you want to know more about them, go visit the blog page they linked.
- TranceMist
It would actually be kind of cool if FF kept track on the things you share and comment on and then build a profile from it. It could be just as much about self discovery! How exciting!
- Geoff Schultz
I like either reading in the Twitter bio or an excerpt from an About page from blog. Also, title and company from LinkedIn could be read. That alone might suffice.
- Adam Darowski
Agree. For those who want to use it, a FriendFeed profile saves the trouble of digging through countless posts, tweets, etc. And if you don't want to use it, you don't have to use it.
- Ontario Emperor
Would be nice if they could instead pull in your profiles on all your feeds and allow your to tab thru them
- Robert O'Callaghan
Disagree. Not knowing who everyone is here on FF keeps it more objective keeps some from being influenced on how they may post. It gives newcomers a chance to be noticed without be 'overpowered' by the 'well-known' names which is very good. This is one of the reasons (Late adopter?? :) that I just re-opened my Linked-In account.

Three movies popped into my head before I read any comments. Others have mentioned them all.... War Games, Tron and Sneakers. I think we've defined a new move genre. "Tech Films". I guess perhaps, "Metropolis", although considered sci-fi really spoke to what would happen with advanced technology. Maybe we could also add Chaplin's "Modern Times" to the list. One last film that may qualify, "WestWorld". I'm sure there are many more that I'll think of with a few hours to ponder.
