Jesse - I just also signed up but the web page was mangled by chrome and when I login it doesn't seem like it's working. What do you need from me to help debug?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Congrats Jesse!
- Johnny Worthington

Thanks Bear - I'm showing your payment went through. The backend is being redesigned as we speak. Is the site usable right now?
- Jesse Stay
hehe - yea, and congrats! :) (thanks johnny)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Bear, you'll want to also add your e-mail address to your Preferences page (we're going to prompt you soon if that hasn't been entered, also part of the redesign) so you get the daily e-mail.
- Jesse Stay
And thanks! (Thanks to Johnny too!)
- Jesse Stay
it's usable - yes. I got some bad rendering when I clicked on the "buy now" button at first and also when returned from the paypal. I logged out and logged back in and was entering my email when I noticed all of the "buy now" buttons still in prefs
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
The e-mail feature only applies to the "Send me daily e-mail statistics about new followers and unfollowers" option in your Preferences. Is there a Paypal button there? There should be a checked checkbox now. I'm also considering a "just get everything I need" option to remove the confusion.
- Jesse Stay
The whole purchase page is going to be re-done. I agree it's confusing. I hate the design right now (that's because I did it, and focused on functionality).
- Jesse Stay
There is a checkbox next to the email feature. What was the visa purchase I just made for? the premium items or are they ala-carte?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Bear, yes, they are ala-carte - the item you purchased gives you a daily e-mail with all the people that followed you and stopped following you the previous day. There are also some free features (one sec and I'll explain those):
- Jesse Stay
ahhhh, then heck, I sure wish there was a single purchase page - now my wife is going to pester me about multiple CC charges to the same service ;) -- no problem, i'll enjoy it now and come back after the redesign and upgrade some more
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
auto-follow those who follow you: this works for free for people that follow you after you join SocialToo forward. If you need to catch up people that followed you before joining, you need to purchase the one-time $5 option. - the same goes for unfollowing those who unfollow you
- Jesse Stay
DM filters: you can specify keywords, and if we see DMs that match those (like "mafia", for instance), we can delete those for you, unfollow the user, block the user, and report them to @spam (all automatically)
- Jesse Stay
*nod* - the descriptions are very good for each item - I was just confused because I didn't go through the preferences page to get to the purchase page. Hit it direct from the login so I missed (probably in the chrome rendering screw-up) that it was ala-carte. Coolness.
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Bear, sorry about that. No problem on waiting - you may not need the other features anyway so don't feel like you need to get everything. It's one reason we do a la carte.
- Jesse Stay
My favorite free feature (we may charge for this in the future or add it to a premium plan, just forewarning): DM E-mails - turn off Twitter's DM e-mails, and just enable them in SocialToo and we'll detect DMs and send them to you with much more info than Twitter provides. In addition, we automatically delete all phishing DMs that we detect and you never, ever receive them if you've signed up for the DM e-mails.
- Jesse Stay
no worries -- I just wanted to get the "who followed you" email feature enabled. I was doing it myself but yours is better implemented. Yea, I don't get any auto-dm spam as I am very careful about who I follow.
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Bear, as soon as I get all the redesign stuff worked out I'll be focusing again on functionality and I've got some really cool ideas for that e-mail and stats that I'm expecting to do. Stay tuned for that.
- Jesse Stay
The auto-dm filters aren't just for blocking auto-dm spam. They work for real DMs that could be malicious as well. The phishing e-mails, for instance, which often get sent by compromised friends' accounts. Also, with the e-mails, you can respond to the e-mail via e-mail and it gets sent as a DM back to the individual. (did I mention that was my favorite feature?) :-)
- Jesse Stay
Congrats, Jesse! I'll have to check it out again.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Congrats!! ... Guess I should really try it now (He ducks)

To be clear Apple doesn't design products for markets of 50,000 they design for markets of 50,000,000 or more.

Cliff Gerrish and Cagdas Seichter liked this
"After viewing in rotation the various facets of that gem that we call identity, it is time for us to polish and view them in one piece. This series has explored what identity means in an online medium, the most salient aspect of which is the digitization of information. Consider what the word digitization denotes: the fragmentation of a whole into infinitesimal, fungible, individually uncommunicative pieces. The computer digitizes everything we post about ourselves not only literally (by storing information in computer-readable formats) but metaphorically, as the computer scatters our information into a meaningless diaspora of data fields, status updates, snapshots, and moments caught on camera or in audio--as Shakespeare might say, signifying nothing."

I love my HTC Magic. Except the lack of Android 1.6 or 2.0. Next stop, Nexus One.
- Zachary TG
Zachary TG: You can run Android 1.6 on the HTC Magic with the CyanogenMod (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/). It's not an official release, but my experience with it is great.
- Nikola
Honestly, I thought I'd be bored of my G1 by now, but that is not the case. The aftermarket ROM's and hacks have made owning the G1 a satisfying experience despite it's limitations.
- Adrian
The Google apps are very good. I wish it handled some things like the Pre like flipping back and forth between open apps. I miss the Pre's integrated sms/mms and IM messenger.
- Rodfather
I have the HTC Hero and I must say that I like the Android keyboard much better than the iPhone's. I don't have an iphone, but I own the iPod Touch and my understanding is the UI is the same - what I like in particular about Android's keyboard is the hold-longer for 'shifted' keys - which is especially useful when you type lots of smileys.
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
Rod, how do you flip between open apps on the Pre? I'd like the home button to instantly show the open apps list when pressed and Home should always be on the list. Long press to go straight to home maybe. Jeesh... Windows mobile allowed you to define button actions... what up Android? Oh! also, the pull down notification blinds should have the running apps as a row of icons at top.
- Adrian
Android isn't ready for me yet, was playing with an n97 but that wasn't ready either. I'm waiting half a year to a year before I replace the phone I'm using now. Yes, the slack behaviour of other manufacturers mean I have the Idogandbone ;-)
- Richard A.
There's the gesture area below the screen. Swiping up pulls up the main screen where you can flip between them. Or swipe the apps up to close. It's handy for going back and forth to copy/paste text. With Android, it's not as intuitive. Like you can't flip between two open websites easily.
- Rodfather
The 2 open websites thing is true, but actually in Android 2.* holding down the home button brings up a list of currently open and recently used apps, which you can switch to by touching them
- LANjackal
It doesn't feel like real multitasking. You're not exactly sure the app you ran a few minutes ago is still in memory. With the cards in the Pre, you know they are still running and can jump right in again. I try to let the memory manager handle everything which is fine and works well, but it's just not very intuitive.
- Rodfather
I disagree. From my observation Android doesn't kill apps unless the devs specify that the app dies when the user switches away from it (which is vanishingly rare). This means that unless you manually killed the app, anything that pops up on a long press of the home button IS actually STILL running
- LANjackal
from IM
Yes but once you start running a bunch of other apps, other apps don't show up anymore when you hold down the home button. You're not quite sure if you can easily switch back to it because it's all automatic to what shows up on that list of 6.
- Rodfather
Some of the task managers on the market allow you to see more than the last 6 apps. I haven't played with them much though. This aspect of Android needs some work.
- Adrian
I don't remember honestly, but it seems the task management app should change the way the home button itself functions for it to be a meaningful change. I'll look into them again, this has been bugging me.
- Adrian
I remember playing with an app that set the camera button to popup the default task switcher. It still seemed a little slow to pop up for my liking .. and the camera button no longer automatically brings up the camera.

Cool, turns out that doing a studio like what Gillmor has (multiple cameras and all that) costs about $15k. Whew. Still cheaper than old school TV studios.

New retweet seems like a simple 'gesture' but it also seems to lower the bar to discovery of new interesting users. It seems like it may also have been an attempt to reduce content hijacking (by making the retweet simpler, and thus more used)
- Nick Wade
It's really a "repeat". By the way, "repeat" is what Status.net/Identi.ca labeled their implementation of retweet.

Aww, shucks, all. @Robert - I already have plenty of subscribers*, thanks. I'd much rather the current situation -- highly engaged people to chat with, many of whom have a gazillion subscribers themselves and can filter for me in the off chance I say something interesting -- than end up on something like the SUL with millions of people who couldn't care less being bombarded with my inanity.
- DeWitt Clinton
*Call me old school, but isn't "subscribers" just such a better word than "followers"?
- DeWitt Clinton
My first thought is that "subscribers" sounds so passive, one-directional. Like the recipients of a magazine. "Followers" doesn't sound any better, to be honest. I don't know if "followers" sounds passive, or like a stalker. "Trackers" sounds very disturbing. Is there a phrase that has a bi-directional quality, doesn't sound passive, and yet isn't creepy.
- Carl Setzer
By the way, I've never been on the SUL and if added would ask them to remove me. I agree it's a bad thing. Lists are a lot more interesting, because that's how you find an audience that actually cares what you have to say http://listorious.com

Robert: Here's a screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u... And they are all checked, by default when you get to that page.

April: hmm, I didn't see that. So that's why I am getting added by a few people. Thanks for letting me know.

Of course you wouldn't have seen it when you signed up, as you didn't have an account there yet and couldn't be on that list...lol. But if you were to make a new account now, you'd see that.

Re: subscribers vs followers... Meh. Now "minions," _that_ is a term I could endorse.

I have 384 subscribers on FF vs. 200 on Twitter. There's very little profound/useful stuff I can say in 140 or less, sorry

it's good to see a lot of great people not great people but people with good content coming back to friendfeed again

LANjackal: that comment was 123 characters =D

Hence the "very little" part of what I said, hahaha. That rarely happens. I don't consider most of what I tweet to be "profound", though it may be entertaining. It's certainly not informati- WHY IS THE CLOUD IN THE BACKGROUND MOVING ON THIS PAGE #shortattentionspan

Can you recommend a good FriendFeed client? Would love something like TweetDeck for FF.
- Michael Brown
Michael, there's http://www.frienddeck.com/ , but I never much took to it. I should try it again. The native friendfeed.com web interface works well enough for me (well, I did write some hacks to effect a few enhancements http://friendfeed.com/ffhacks ).

"The digital network, where we all spend ever more of our time, is a vast infrastructure of generality. It deploys a system which is standardised, formally defined, highly structured, and internally consistent. If I send you an email, I do it trusting that the interlinked systems of hard- and software, the protocols for data encoding and transmission, the network switches and servers, will all hold together so that the email you receive is the same as the one I sent. Perhaps I'm in Australia, and you are in Norway: we could say that the network generalises our two points in space - for the network, they are the same. As I draft my email it exists as a pattern of voltages and magnetic flux inside my computer. To transmit that pattern effectively, the digital network must erase or resist any local errors or inconsistencies that it might encounter along the way, so that it does not matter if the pattern travels by optical fibre or copper, or in radio waves, or if a boat anchor cut...

Wouldn't it be great if FriendFeed supported a realtime API? This feed is realtime, if they registered a notifcation handler they'd have the update within a second or two of me pressing Update. It's now 2:26PM. Let's see when it shows up on FriendFeed. - http://river2.org/

"We are pleased to announce the availability of the Versioning feature for beta use with buckets in our Northern California Region. Versioning allows you to preserve, retrieve, and restore every version of every object in an Amazon S3 bucket. Once enabled for a bucket, Amazon S3 preserves existing objects anytime you perform a PUT, POST, COPY, or DELETE operation on them. By default, GET requests will retrieve the most recently written version. Older versions of an overwritten or deleted object can be retrieved by specifying a version in the request. "
