Found my alternative to FriendFeed. Peace out puppies. Find me on Facebook and Twitter
er... "alternative" is a little vague. Surely she doesn't actually mean Facebook and Twitter. Those are sad excuses for alternatives, IMO.

Maybe not great alternatives, but that's where the action people are. They're not on FriendFeed.

For the record, I'm using GReader with a Feedly front end for content and sharing with Mark and Twitter and Facebook for social interactions.

I'm way behind... I still use my mouth, ears, eyes, and toes for social interactions.

You'll see Twitter + Facebook + FriendFeed as well and keep an eye on Posterous too ;-)))

Just seeing if it will work for browsing lots of rss feeds with pictures. I use RSS Ticker for things I read consistently
- Lindsey is Fierce!
Best for RSS feeds with lots of pictures: feedly on top of GReader. If you use Firefox, that is.

And having to do "up up down down left right left right b a" to get that thing to happen is just crazy.

Ok, I'll look into feedly. Can you share items with other users? And this just in . . .LogEx has won the internetz

feedly has the same keyboard shortcuts as Google Reader (and yes it has the same sharing function as google reader +some extensions for twitter and friendfeed integration). Agreed that j/k feel backwards. I think that it is a unix heritage or something.

When "vi" came out ca. 1970, it was the first "visual" editor. Terminals didn't have arrow keys at the moment, so vi used regular keystrokes in "command mode" to control cursor movement. They selected the four keys H,J,K,L to do so. CTRL+H was backspace, and used to move left; plus, "H" was on the left side of the group. So "H" became Left, and L became right, which left J and K as the "down" and "up" keystrokes, respectively. Logically, then, "J" goes to the next note ("down" the page) and "K" goes up.

That explanation makes some sense except I would still make J up and K down

I think different people think opposite about what is next and previous in email and greader and other programs. e.g., choose to start with newst first or oldest first, choose to show emails with newest on top or bottom, etc.
- LogEx
I'm sure LE, just trying to think about this logically. When you go to the arrow pad and start from the left, clockwise it's left, up, right, down. I'm sure we can rationalize it anyway. it just feels backwards to me.

Lindsey ditch GReader, it's not like it can actually read anyone's G-spot... Fuck I'm bad :)
