Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier.
- Bob Blunk
Fax, Petr. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

"the most effective method for remembering names and faces uses three basic memory skills I call: LOOK, SNAP, CONNECT. First, make sure you really take the time to focus on the name (LOOK). Then, creates mental snapshots (SNAP), visual images of the name and the face. Finally, CONNECT the name snap with the face snap by creating additional images so you can easily retrieve the information later."

Why are Kindles popular? It's like an oversized original Gameboy, complete with the yellow-green screen. Read: outdated and ugly. Baffling.
John Wang, Roberto Bonini, Aaman (Clone of FF) and 14 other people liked this
Best I can tell, it's the e-Ink.Holds screen with zero power, reading without consuming electrons as you would on a smartphone.
- Matthew DeVries
The proponents all gush about havine their eBooks and their magazine/newspaper subscriptions automatically downloaded. Umm... my iPod Touch can carry eBooks and I can surf all the newspaper/magazine sites I want.
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
I have an iPod touch, iPhone, Kindle, Sony Reader, etc. etc. The Kindle is fantastic at what it does, that's it. Uses very little energy, stores a hell of a lot of books, and really does have the appearance of paper, causing nowhere near as much eye strain as an electronic backlit screen. If you read, the Kindle is your answer.
- Andru Edwards
MVB but there are people like me who ONLY want the books. I don't care about newspapers, magazines, or web surfing. I love my Kindle. It's a good size, very light, very portable, and very easy for me to use. It's large enough that I can hold it without my hand cramping up and it's got a screen I can actually read -- both were problems with trying to read ebooks on my phone. Smaller isn't always better.
- Nine
Isn't it similar to the first and second versions of the iPod? The ability to have a ton of music/reading material in one portable package is a definite draw. Unfortunately the Kindle faces more challenges since I would wager fewer people care as much about reading these days than music.
- ronin
And it can read to you.
- Alex Scoble
The problem is: I carry an iPod, a phone, a wallet, smokes/lighter now. Where would I have room to put a Kindle without resorting to a man-purse?

It'd be nice if people cared more about reading than music.
- Nation Hahn
Mark: you'd put it wherever you would have carried a book.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
MVB - I carry a phone, wallet, and keys, too. I just put the Kindle in my coat pocket. Or if I'm wearing cargo pants, in one of the lower pockets. More often than not, it's in my hand because I'm reading.

+10 Mona. I want to hit the like button to unlike the Kindle 10 times! It's insultingly ugly and I'm desperately waiting for flexible screens anyway. HP is working on it: http://tinyurl.com/9nurwn

You can use friendfeed from the Kindle on the Internet for free. The screen is easy on the eyes, although I would certainly prefer color. Perosnally, I liked my old school GameBoy. What's not to love?
- Garin Kilpatrick
Crap, are we playing boring thread necro again? I hate that game.
- Matthew DeVries
Great question. But the Kindle is unique and must appeal to some micro-niche market.
- Mike Reynolds
Amen Mona.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
If you're an avid reader, it's got its charms. Ebooks are cheaper through the Kindle store, the battery lasts a LONG time, the screen is comfortable to read and the form-factor is about right. The price tag for it is still too steep for my tastes, though.
- Jason Huebel
Yeah I agree Mona, the technology is simply not mature enough yet.
- Geoff Schultz
Wow, where did this come from? LOL. I tried reading a book on the Kindle 2, only got through the first few pages. I don't like how the pages flash(?) when they turn...once there is more advancement (and different screen colors) I might change my mind, since Kindles are convenient. Or simply, like Geoff said: tehy're not mature enough. :)

Wind Turbine Towers Win Metropolis Next Generation Prize! - http://www.inhabitat.com/2009...
Siddharth Deb and Gaby K. Slezák liked this
"The French design team proposes inserting wind turbines into broken electrical towers, thereby turning the towers into wind energy powerhouses and providing an energy boost to a ready-made grid. Wind-it could also be placed in newly built electrical towers. The design, available in three sizes, could provide enough energy to power one room in a house or even 20 whole houses depending on size and wind speed. According to Delon, if a third of France’s electrical towers were outfitted with turbines, they could rival the energy production of two nuclear reactors–that’s 5% of the country’s total electrical demand."

I wish FriendFeed would make a "virtual" FriendFeed account for every Twitter user.

The account would only have to be "activated" from the moment on someone would want to subscribe to him/her. Otherwise, it would probably increase the load on FriendFeed unnecessary fast at this point in time.
- Meryn Stol
But say if I wish to subscribe to @johndoe , who's not on FriendFeed, then I just want to be able to search for him on FriendFeed. Then I want to be able to add him like if he were a regular FriendFeed user. From this moment on, a virtual FriendFeed account is kept in his name.
- Meryn Stol
It would also mean that people who try FriendFeed with their Twitter account, would be able to see all their Twitter friends, not only those who happened to use FriendFeed already.
- Meryn Stol
Some sort of bulk import of Twitter friends and even Twitter groups created in Tweeetdeck and Tweetvisor would be most welcome. Paul mentioned a couple of weeks ago that they are working on something. :-)

Being cash constrainted forces an important discipline and focus. 3. Financial crisis + Economic crisis = Expectations Have Never Been Lower. No pressure to prove you will be a $1B company in 3 years. Just move the needle a little and it's a win. 4. Phase I of the Internet was about getting everything online.

You can build very valuable and interesting businesses just around helping people make sense of what's already out there. In other words,...

Simultaneously, the tail rotor that’s generally tucked at the car’s rear comes out to complete the transformation."

"News was transformed on the web by the rise of a simple innovation: Real Simple Syndication, or RSS. RSS feeds are a popular way to consume blogs, news, and information in general.

"But is RSS the best way to read news and blogs? An article in Slate Magazine this week piqued our interest. In the piece, Farhad Manjoo discusses how he gave up Google Reader for consuming news and hasn’t regretted it; reading news became a boring chore for him, just like reading email, and browsing the web was a more enjoyable way to discover news."

Intresting point about Google Reader becoming a chore. Sometimes it really feels like one.
- Peter Kruit
They missed 'All the time, as well as Twitter, Friendfeed, etc' (I'm an 'All the time')
- Andy Bold
Google Reader is a chore, but that's not the only way to use RSS. For me, RSS is still the easiest way to collect everything I want to read in a single location.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
I votes yes all the time too. I'm regularly in GReader and before that it's been Omea Reader (offline). I've used RSS since it came out and all my sites use it. So pretty useful to me. But yep it's not for everyone.
- Kol Tregaskes
Peter, John, how do you find Google Reader a chore?
- Kol Tregaskes
Interface frequently slow and unresponsive, plus I have more than one Google account, so it creates problems if I need to switch among them. Not really a winner, for my purposes.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
It sometimes feels like a chore when I need to catch up to a feed that I haven't checked for a while. Which could just indicate I should unsubscribe the feed.
- Peter Kruit
John ah, I guess in Chrome for me is super fast and I find it much faster than the alternatively (to manually check the sites). Have you considered using FeedDemon? It supports GReader syncing now and I've been told it also supports multiple GReader accounts.
- Kol Tregaskes
Peter, yeah I've been there and have cut down. I've also used PostRank to cut the noise out for some heavy feeds and it works really well.
- Kol Tregaskes
I don't use GReader anymore, and yes it had become a chore. Because assimilitating the information contained in the 1000+ daily items of the feeds I have subscribed to requires a huge amount of time that I simply don't have. And it requires active participation, since I have to click on the items to mark them read or learn more about them. Plus there's almost no interaction and no fun...
more...
- Brome
Brome, so I better keep with GReader as most of my shared items come from it. ;-) Seriously though, I had 1000+ items all the time, it's just a matter of cutting down and organising. With FF you are relying on others (like me ;-)) to find and share it. With GReader you finding the articles yourself and sharing it. I believe they have added commenting now too so you can, in theory, have converstation. But I never use it.
- Kol Tregaskes
I've actually imported my GReader feeds into FF recently and can browse through them here. One advantage is the dup detector. Generally, though, it's not as good as GReader itself as RSS importing is not wholly efficient yet on FF but certainly an interesting alternative.
- Kol Tregaskes
I have been using FeedDemon for a long time. Not sure whether I'll switch over accounts to Google or keep them at Newsgator.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Also, I'm thankfully for the likes of Louis Gray who shares items on GReader, he finds some really interesting posts.
- Kol Tregaskes
John, I think it just syncs the items, doesn't it? I've not tried it I had a quick look at FeedDemon the other day and found it didn't know the HTML version of the feeds like GReader does (text only). Is it possible to turn this on?
- Kol Tregaskes
Everyyone on FF is indirectly using a RSS Reader btw, well you certainly are if you are reading my feed as I share lots from my RSS Reader. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
yep. google reader. and I'm not in the camp that thinks friendfeed can replace my feed reader, either.
- chrisofspades
Chris, no not yet anyway. :-)

I haven't really investigated that; for me limited formatting is an attraction because it speeds up page-loading. (If I want to see the full layout, I can always click through and visit the website.)
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
John, fair enough. I'm a very visual person, a load of text does my nut in most of the time do breaks, images and formatting help me a lot. Possibly just me. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Personally I was a big G Reader user. It was my news flow, now though, I've imported each of the folders into FF. When I have a new rss feed to follow, it still goes to reader, but as the folders are shared to FF, I get to see it here now instead. I like the way GR presented the feeds with unread counts and I miss that with FF, but I'm sure this will come soon.

I use Flock browser for RSS. I sometimes look at the same feeds in Google Reader or Fastladder. Flock's RSS reader is faster to use, and has a less chaotic interface than online news readers, and has some social networking abilities. I don't think microblogging services could replace RSS for me, but I have made some RSS feeds for some topics in Twitter search, which is a nice alternative use for Twitter.

A very nice point was made in this piece. Feed reading has become a chore. Ever since I made a private group on FF and put all my RSS subscriptions in it, I find I read more of it than I did with Greader's interface.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
Vijayendra, I think adding RSS feeds to _public_ groups instead of private ones could help even more, as we discussed here: http://ff.im/2eV8R
- Brome
i made public groups for some of my feed sets, but FF means I have to repost them back out for others to see them so it's a clumsy solution. Reading them in newsgator and clipping them shares them more gracefully - although the room might be of use to people who are interested in some of the entries I dont clip
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
GReader was a chore until I started using Feedly. I suppose it's the pretty interface that made a difference, but catching up and pruning also makes a difference. It seems that using FF as a news reader would be more difficult, isn't it? It's not as though you can preview the articles here, right? Don't you just get the title and link? What FF does work for is finding content that other people have shared from their GReaders or Delicious or bookmarks.
- Criz
interesting read here, I've just decided before I read this FF to stop using Greader for a week and use FF in combo with twitter for my news source. Greader so easily overwhelmes me with 1000+ unread, and I feel the need to read all the articles. This takes loads of time which i could spend more productively. Feeddemon though in combo with greader sounds nice.. is there a mac equivalent?
- Sebastiaan van den Akker
I would love to be able to stop using GReader completely and just use Friendfeed. In order to do that though, Friendfeed needs to be able to tell me when there are new items I havent seen. Not for everything, but an option to be able to turn on in some lists and/or groups. Until then I'll still have to use GReader for some feeds I want to keep up on.
- Tony, Paradox of FF
Agree with Tony. We need to be able to tell the FF notifier exactly what we want to be notified of. Specific feeds, specific people. All that.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
RSS has absolutely changed the way I use the internet by finding and presenting information specific to my various interests. It is definitely a chore when my reader gets backed up, but I don't mind so much because the alternative would be an exercise not worth undertaking. Has anyone in this tread seen and started to use Shyftr? Louis Gray's post here http://www.louisgray.com/live...

I tend to ignore groups with imported feeds in it. I prefer more active groups where users participate. A stream of feeds in a public group is off-putting to me.

FriendFeed is in essence an RSS reader ;) You can't say no.
- Nicholas James
Criz, yes you can import excerpts with custom RSS feeds and Ivan's mediainjection script improves image importing a lot too.
- Kol Tregaskes
Tony, yep. I've mentioned many times in the FF Feedback group that our lists, groups and even saved searches on the sidebar need an new entry indicator like we have for DMs. Then we should be able to click on the indicator, e.g. (3), to go to a page that shows the new entries *only*.
- Kol Tregaskes
interesting conversation. Yes, am very much a fan of Greader, but do not like that I on any given day have more new starred items, than read items. Am becoming a fan of Postrank and filters and hope it can change the waterfall use of Greader.
- Peter Efland
PostRank is very useful, Peter. There are some sites that post 20 or more article per day and that's just too much. PostRank gives me the more popular articles of those feeds and cuts down the noise greatly. It's a little bit of setting up involved but you reap the benefits. :-)

I have been using GR for awhile, but I still don't like it. About the only thing it really has going for it is easy sharing. I am in the process of moving some of my feeds back into Newzie. I just happen to like the power and options that a desktop reader can give me that GR can't. I am also a big user of Juice, for downloading music from feeds from last.fm and garageband.com.
- April Russo (app103)
I am thinking about bringing all my feeds from GR over to a private room here and just keep checking that one. The only issue to me seems like pictures (which are important) wouldn't come across as also the small summaries won't as well. Any other pro's and cons for bringing it over??
- Amani
Amani, Ivan's solution here: http://code.google.com/p... works really well, you simply add "http://feed-buster.appspot.com/mediaIn..." in front of the URL of your RSS imports and you should see more images being imported. It's not perfect but improves things a lot.
- Kol Tregaskes
I really wish that feed-buster worked with my Blogger feeds. Images never show if I use WLW to write my posts.
- April Russo (app103)
Hi April. Can you give me the exact URLs of the feeds you are having problems with so I can check them out? Thanks!
- Ivan Zuzak
Criz, Amani - I agree with you regarding the summaries (text content of feed posts). It's really hard to use FF for following feeds without a way to skim the content. Here's a possible solution - since FriendFeed enables that post descriptions (that's an element in the feed XML usually used for *short* summaries) be shown as the first comment (through the Custom RSS/ATOM feed import),...

I use GReader for blogs and journal articles; not for news. News updates and goes out of date too frequently - too much to read and irrelevant by the time you do (if like me you check GReader once daily, morning). I find it's better to restrict myself to a few quality news sites and visit the website instead (again once daily), or else Google News for a more eclectic, news-surfing experience.
- Neil Saunders
Ivan - I just looked at your service. I will test it out a bit tomorrow and see. It looks good. I wonder, once I look at the specific entry, would I just delete it to mark it read an leave it if I wanted to save it? I am trying to duplicate the whole "star" aspect of GR as well as the share button/Share with notes. Hmmm ...
- Amani
Ivan, I wouldn't want the whole article in one be long comment. I think it would be great if FF allowed us to selectively import, say, 3 paragraphs as 3 comments for custom RSS feeds.
- Kol Tregaskes
Amani, I'd like a star system on FF too but without proper re-sharing the only thing you can do is share the item to a private group. But you lose all the comments and likes of course. :-(

Cool, let us know how you get on, Willem?
- Kol Tregaskes
Amani - yeah, FF misses the "star" aspect of GR. I haven't figured out how to replicate that model in FF. Hiding/deleting doesn't seem right. I tend to use groups and saved searches to cover some of that functionallity.
