Re: Vibram Fivefingers and Barefoot Running: Does Removing Heel Cushion Change Footstrike? - http://www.runblogger.com/2009...
"I find it interesting that changing shoes didn't seem to modify either yours or Ryan's landing position. It's more biomechanically efficient to land with your foot close to your center of gravity, and shod heel-strikers tend to land farther out which impedes momentum and adds impact stress. Though Ryan's foot strike did change significantly, he still seems to be landing far in front of his center of gravity. I wonder if this would change over time."

- CAJ, somewhere else
I bought a pair of Nike Free about 4 weeks ago. This article re-enforces what I've been learning about barefoot running. I'm not actually planning on running completely shoe less, but the Frees have helped me move to a more fore-foot landing (which is good.)

I'm curious about the Nike Frees as well as the Vibram FiveFingers. Vastly different implementations. I'll have to search to see if anyone has compared them.

The electronic readers are still too expensive for markets like India. Paperbacks are available usually for about $5 of most books. $10 is like the upper bracket for any paperback book. Most books I have seen on the Kindle store are $10 each. Reduces the bulk of carrying books but I wonder if I am ready for one yet.
- Parth Awasthi
I want one, mostly because our books are threatening to evict us to create more space for themselves, but also for the portability factor, being able to take multiple books with me to the cafe to read whichever one strikes me - if it is a vast improvement over the first version, I might have to seriously consider getting one (not matter how much I like the feel of a real book in my hands)
- William Harryman
hold on. Kindle 1.0 doesn't suck. Sure, it's not an Apple product, and lacks a graceful design. I found it awkward to use at first, but after a couple weeks it became natural. After a month, I found that I was reading far more than I did before and discovered that I preferred reading something on the Kindle to reading a physical book. It just takes some time to get use to. Plus, you have to be willing to overlook the form for the function.
- Daniel Norton
Daniel: in other words it sucked but you just put up with its suckage. I couldn't. I sold mine.
- Robert Scoble
I just can't help thinking that a device that relies so much on DRM still sucks. If they will remove DRM, hell, yes, I will buy one.
- Federico F.
Federico is right, DRM makes it a pointless device.
- Matthew DeVries
It sucked *at first*. But I just put up with it until it no longer felt like suckage. Kindle 2.0 should definitely fix some of those pesky design bugs like the accidental page turns. I'm looking forward to your review of it.
- Daniel Norton
Daniel, just because you got use to the suckage doesn't mean it doesn't suck. And in this apple influenced world (fanboy right here), companies can no longer afford to overlook form for function.
- Sean
Sony has DRM too, but, at least, it can read DRM-free books. Kindle can do it too, but moving files to the reader is a big pain in the ass. As if they wanted to force you to buy only their books. Even iPod is more open.
- Federico F.
Ebook can became a dramma, our culture can be lost for a simple outgage or can be manipolated...
- Luca Perugini
I've never thought the Kindle 1.0 sucked. I had no trouble with it from the moment I opened it. No trouble holding it, no trouble reading it, no trouble putting things on it, no problem with battery life.... most of what's on mine didn't come from Amazon. The only thing I don't like about it is they won't let me bring it to work.
- Nine
@Federico I agree, paying $360 to read books that you only license, never own, doesn't seem like a good deal to me.
- Richard Akerman
Kindle 1 doesn't suck at all. It's intriguing (still), thin enough, and takes like 4.5 seconds to get your hands and mind around. And I'm no fan of DRM, but if it means $9 bestsellers, what's the big fuss? (and it's not just a license - I got the files) 2/3 of the docs on my Kindle are PDF or Mobi, and it works brilliantly. Finally, if I were a Kindle 2 owner, I would miss the scroll led... it's a little bit of perpetual magic. And too bad you can't hold it anyway you like to be able to turn pages.

@netvalar now wants to know about friendfeed's rooms. Here's why they are the coolest tool for Twitter users:
Kathleen Capps, infopunk, Brad Davis Seal and 37 other people liked this
It used to be that doing a Google search was the only thing you needed to do to find information and that the flow of information was slow enough that anyone could follow. Those days are LONG over. Now that we have http://search.twitter.com , http://news.google.com , and http://blogsearch.google.com, among others, we need a new answer. Rooms are that answer. Here's why.
- Robert Scoble
Let's say you have a bunch of searches you want to mash up along with a few RSS feeds from blogs. Maybe one from a product site or a conference site. Etc. How do you do that? Well, you could build some weird contraption in Yahoo Pipes, but I find that a room is the best place because of friendfeed's community platform. For instance, next week I'm going to the World Economic Forum in Davos. I created this room to follow that:
- Robert Scoble
http://friendfeed.com/rooms... <<--World Economic Forum room.
- Robert Scoble
Do you see what's going on there? I've brought feeds from Google News. Twitter (for several different search terms). Google Blog Search. And from several official Davos blogs too. All mixed together into that room.
- Robert Scoble
so the rooms are similar to yahoo pipes but less tech savy? I could set up a room for a new blog and then also add in bookmarks of web posts that were related then right?
- Netvalar
Rooms can be private. Venture Beat, for instance, does all of its workflow in a room that you can't see unless you are on staff with them.
- Robert Scoble
Rooms are full-fledged members of friend feed. You can like and comment items and share them with your friends. You can link to items, just like you can link to any friendfeed items here. If you own those items you can moderate them (I can delete any items in the Davos room, for instance).
- Robert Scoble
Netvalar: yeah. Yahoo Pipes is pretty daunting for normal people. Rooms just require you to subscribe to the feeds from searches and from blogs. Just like you add items to your account here. Yup, you can mix together RSS feeds from blogs and those from your favorite bookmarking site like Del.icio.us.
- Robert Scoble
My favorite room is the Apps Room: http://friendfeed.com/rooms...
- Robert Scoble
Great I thought so but haven't taken the time yet to look into it thanx for taking the time to inform me
- Netvalar
Rooms encourage communities to form and work together out of the view of the "noisy assholes" like me on the main "Home" feed on friendfeed.
- Robert Scoble
It's interesting that more Twitter users don't discover these. They are an AWESOME way to track Twitter Search http://search.twitter.com
- Robert Scoble
This is totally cool. I feel some FF addiction growing up deep inside. :-)
- Cristian Vidmar
hmm I was thinking of a different use but the work together thing I wonder if some of the musicians I work with would be interested. Well it at lest would be worth placing into a blog post for those readers who are trying to improve their street teams
- Netvalar
Oh, and thanks for sharing, of course!
- Cristian Vidmar
Scoble, pls direct him to this post of mine too http://thenextweb.com/2009...
- Zee.
Checking out post Zee
- Netvalar
Hey Zee think you can place the links to FF part 1 and 2 too
- Netvalar
Zee: please do link in your articles, thanks!
- Robert Scoble
Scoble what would be the best URL for me to reference in a blog post for the help you have shared with me today on this subject?
- Netvalar
Netvalar: you can link to all of these friendfeed items (you can get a permalink to them by using the "More" menu and clicking "Link to this entry." If you want to link to me, probably http://www.friendfeed.com/scoblei... is best since that's where all my original stuff is aggregated together.
- Robert Scoble
so now I just need those other links from ZEE a bit more reading on my part and a musicians guide to FF with links to http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... and those posts should be done within the hour or shortly thereafter
- Netvalar
A bit of work on my part but I got those other 2 links now part 1 http://thenextweb.com/2008... Part 2 http://thenextweb.com/2008... there in case anyone stops by the URLs are availble
- Netvalar
Will definitely add the link as soon as I get to the office...am on iphone right now. But I'm floating on air right now,did I read that right Robert? Your favorite room is the Apps Room?? Yahoooooo!
- Zee.
Netvalar, I'm on my iPhone now but if u search for "Guide to Friendfeed" on google, all 3 posts i've done so far should be there
- Zee.
Zee: yes, the Apps room rocks. Thanks for creating it!
- Robert Scoble
Wow, I've been here for a while and thought I knew most of the coolest tricks but now I really GET what rooms are about and how to utilise them best, thanks Robert :)
- Nicola Quinn
Might have to put that in the rooms description... :) "Scobles Favorite Room..."
- Zee.
put your autographed photo down, zee...
- Terry O'Fee
might just change the apps photo to Scobles face...(I kid I kid..)
- Zee.
wipe the drool off too while you're there .. hahah

Is there a simple way to filter my Google Reader stream to different FriendFeed rooms?
- Andreas
So, for the slow ones among us, the main difference/advantage of FF rooms to just subscribing in any RSS Reader, would be the collaboration possibility, plus the fact that rooms can be public, right?
- Peter Efland
Andreas, there is a feed for every room
- Fredrik Hansson
Fredrik: So then how do you direct an item in your Google Reader's shared list to a specific FF room? You can import the whole shared list but that's not what I'm after. I want to add yet another filter (need to use Yahoo Pipes?!) on top of Google Reader to extract articles, blog posts, etc to certain FF rooms.
- Andreas
Once caveat: People don't see your "Likes" on items in a room unless they're subscribed to that room or visit it. If it's something you want to spread around, put it in your main feed.

Good stuff, Robert. I've been thinking about innovative uses for FF Rooms a lot this past week (jump-started by your frequent mentions), and I really like the Venture Beat private room example you give, good to know that businesses are waking up to the potential. In a way, FF is providing a lot of the functionality that Twitter is missing, as an overlay. Problem with Twitter is that it's difficult to get some permanence to your feed(s) including searches, FF solves that:
- Alex Schleber
Here is an example of a Twitter "Track" Room on keyword "Psychology", note that you likely want to do a few tricks with the query to keep it useful, e.g. "psychology filter:links -RT" (to avoid duplicates and much chatter) - http://friendfeed.com/rooms...

7 Ways To Utilize FriendFeed Rooms http://www.bwana.org/2008... (May '08)
- Bwana ☠
rooms are cool but I love lists, makes the biggest difference for me - nothing else like it
- mike "glemak" dunn
If you are new to FF and want to meet more people, subscribe to some rooms and participate. To be honest, I met over half the people here through rooms at first. I would love to find out the most effect and exact twitter search terms (whether it is using "" , or, and) in getting the maximum results for the search.
- Amani
Andreas: I tag the item in Reader with a specific tag and then subscribe to my tag's RSS feed in my Room.
- Nick in Manila
I have to say that I didn't understand the appeal of Rooms until I tried this technique and created http://friendfeed.com/rooms... to track Kindle info and satisfy my tech-nerd-reader itch. Thanks Robert!

"I couldn't even view the article. I'm not a big fan of looking at 9/11 images since I live a couple blocks away. This also reminds me. There is a Ritz Carlton being built in Atlanta near Lenox Mall that looks like the Deutsche Bank building after 9/11. It has a huge gaping indentation in the middle of building."
