Phil. Sorry. We had to take it down to reduce the memory footprint of the client. It will be back. And I will make sure that you get access to the preview before Dec 15th. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Thanks Edwin. I just wanted to highlight how the Wall accumulates all the recent gReader shared item comments in one place. I'll be looking forward to the enhancements you make! - Phil Glockner

cool. we are going to keep the gReader part. We are just going to add an option to read, reply, inline, correlate, etc... twitter messages too. Have a good evening. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Zee, Firefox 3.0.4 is not a beta version. The beta version is Firefox 3.1* - LouCypher

Help - I updated FF to 3.0.4 and now it crashes so I cannot use it. Where can I find a copy of 3.0.3? I am using Portable FF now. - Russellreno

Russell here you go http://www.oldapps.com/firefox... - Zee from WeDoCreative

oh bollocks, on windows...what are you on? - Zee from WeDoCreative

oh here it is for the mac http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox... - Zee from WeDoCreative

The interesting thing is that Firefox 3.04 is listed as a Beta. What is up with that? At least it was when I downloaded it... - Stephen Pierzchala

Stephen, i don't believe it is beta - although at the time of posting the page on firefox.com had beta included in the title - Zee from WeDoCreative

Zee - I reinstall 3.0.3 and got the same lousy results. - Russellreno

If I am right both of my comps have automatically updated to this version today? - Sharron Field via twhirl

Mine updated two days ago. - Russellreno

My 3.0.4 crashed after I installed Cool Iris and Feedly. - Russellreno

Russell: if you have 3.0.4 still installed, could you please go to about:crashes and share a couple of the report ids? I will try to take a look and see if I can shed some lights on what might be the cause of the problem. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin: Firefox crashes before it finishes loading. I installed 3.0.3 on top of 3.0.4 and it does the same thing. Suggestions? - Russellreno

Russell: do you mean that it does not have the time to generate a report? - Edwin Khodabakchian

Russell: Here is something we can do to determine if feedly is to blame for this: 1) stop firefox, 2) go to your profile directory (on mac /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxx.yyyy 3) go to extensions an delete feedly@devhd folder and 4) go back down and delete extensions.cache, entensions.ini and extensions.rdf 5) restart the browser. - Edwin Khodabakchian

If feedly is not to blame, you can iterate with the other extensions until you stop seeing the crash. If feedly is to blame, let me know and I will open a bug around this. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin - yes it is open for only a few seconds then closes followed by crash message and request to send a report. Is that the report you want to see? - Russellreno

Yes. That is the report I want. With the report id or report URL, we will be able to understand which specific module/line of code in firefox is crashing. Which will allow me to know if this is something feedly might be calling or not (and if so open a bug with the firefox team). - Edwin Khodabakchian

I am using Windows XP Pro. BuildID - 2008092417 URL is Http ... Lastpass.com - Russellreno

URL got clipped. Can you please email it to me at edwink@devhd.com please - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin helped me resolve my issue. The issue was with CoolIris and not Feedly. Feely is now my home page. There is a conflict with my virus protection and Coolris. - Russellreno

For older versions of Firefox: http://releases.mozilla.org/pu... - LouCypher

Lou - What are you telling me? - Russellreno

Edwin, version 1.2.63. It shows that I have unread articles in my feeds when Google Reader does not. And it really doesn't matter which page I'm on... Cover, Latest, Greatest, category, etc. Next to the feed name it shows a number, which I assume is the number of unread articles, but in Google Reader there are no unread articles. When I click on a category or feed, it shows articles that have been marked as read several times even when I check the "unread only" box. - Michael Hocter

Thanks for the clarification Michael. I wanted to make sure that the problem you were seeing was similar to a couple of other bugs we have been hunting down (and it is). Will update this thread when we have a better understanding of what might be causing this problem. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, thanks for getting back to me... and on a Sunday! - Michael Hocter

Michael: here is an update. We pushed out this evening patch 1.2.66 which include fixes to 3 bugs which could be related to the problem you were experiencing. You should get the patch automatically next time you restart the browser. If you get the chance to kick the tires please let us know if those 3 fixes and up addressing the problem you were seeing. Thank you. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, Sorta. The main section only shows unread articles now, but on the right the sources still show an inaccurate count of unread messages that doesn't match Google Reader. - Michael Hocter

Ok. we are going to continue looking. A couple of quick questions: Does the problem happen on a subscription or category listing? In the number of articles you are seeing in the list in feedly consistent with the number you see in the sidebar on feedly or are those 2 numbers inconsistent too? A screenshot of what you are seeing in feedly and google reader would be very useful. My email is edwink@devhd.com. Thank you - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin, I sent you some screenshots. Thanks a lot for your help! - Michael Hocter

Congrats Mona! Bloody amazing - Zee from WeDoCreative

Mona = FF Goddess - Mo Kargas

Hooray for Mona! - Tad, Fool

congratulations! - Edwin Khodabakchian

awesomesauce! - imabonehead

I'm still not convinced that she's not an AI. - Tad, Fool

I hadn't noticed her 10k mark passage, but it doesn't surprise me from the woman who only sleeps 2 hours a day. She has more energy than 4 of me. - Pete Delucchi

Mona is the fearless leader of the bacon, LEGO, and mango movements on FriendFeed. - imabonehead

OMG I PASSED 10k comments LOL I didn't even notice. Wow. That's kinda embarrassing -- and Chris, you should strive to be whatever you want. :) - Mona N.

I still can't figure out when she sleeps. lol - Daynah

She's the queen of pokes as well - congrats Mona! - Jesse Stay

Good FFer.:) - Igor Poltavskiy

@Chris, I was careful not to say congratulations. ;-) I value Mona, and wanted to recognize her for being active. - Louis Gray

kudos! - James Cooper

I can't think of a Mona comment that just appeared to be taking up space, and her comments are respected in the community. During a discussion about comments a few days ago, her name came up - http://friendfeed.com/e/01a70d... - Ontario Emperor

Chris: No disclaimers needed, I am extremely active on FriendFeed and comfortable with my participation level. :) @ Jesse: The poke whoring was a one night affair (!) @Ontario: Thank you. - Mona N.

O_O - Mo Kargas

Congrats, Mona! : ) - Jess Lee

Yay for Mona!!!! :) - Lindsay Donaghe

kudos Mona :) - BeeLing

Go Mona! Keep up the good work - so that some of don't have to dig up all that good stuff. - Chris Loft

Congrats Mona. I liked 700 things this week and am less than 500 from 10,000 too but you got there in less time. We are addicts to be sure! - Robert Scoble

Onya. - Will Higgins

wow thats great! im not even at 1000 yet! - sean percival

As Rahsheen said in another thread, commenting requires thought. I find liking to be much easier than commenting in several respects. Kudos to Mona for being thoughtful. - Ontario Emperor

Congrats! - Morton Fox

she speaks to the leading edge of the collective friendfeed mind ... if it was a guy? - Gregory Lent

mona mona :) - Pico Seno

Mona is THE QUEEN OF FRIENDFEED!!!! :)))) - Susan Beebe

Whoa whoa what!?? Google Reader is social?? I could need this if they block FriendFeed on me one day... running to check this out... - Kamilah Gill

Toluu (http://www.toluu.com) is a great way to discover new feeds by seeing what your "friends" are subscribing to. - Justin Korn

Do I still need an invite for toluu? EDIT: Yep. Let's see how long it takes to get one this time. - ♫ Rahsheen™

is it under "friends' shared items" or something? this could save me (sort of) if FriendFeed gets blocked, though they'd need an "everyone" tab so I could find new people. - Kamilah Gill

Yes, Ma'am. I think they have to be your friend on GTalk for it to work. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Rah - wish I could send you an invite, but doesn't seem like I can. Sorry dude. - Justin Korn

looks like I'm out of invites, twitter caleb, he'll get u hooked - Dobromir Hadzhiev

I hope gtalk doesn't have to work for it because that part is blocked, but Reader should be safe because it has definite work uses. FriendFeed has uses, too, but if it gets too social and too well-known some idiot will find it and axe it. Right now just certain services are blocked on here for me, like Flickr and YouTube. I see no images for those. - Kamilah Gill

Not sure if it needs GTalk to work, but it does seem to use those contacts to know whose shared stuff you wanna read. - ♫ Rahsheen™

I've tried Feedly two different times now. I just don't get its benefits. Quit using it both times. I like Google Reader too much. - Matt

If someone explains Social Median to me, I'll go back. I haven't been able to make heads r tails out of it. - Robert Owens

Matt: can you think of features that if added to feedly would make it better? - Edwin Khodabakchian

@Edwin: For a casual user that isn't a hard core RSS person, I can see the benefits of a "magazine-like" interface. But for a hard core RSS user that sifts through thousands of posts a day, Feedly just isn't efficient enough. I can "J" my way through posts, star, share, and write notes much more quickly than in Feedly. Not saying it's a bad product. Just not for me. - Matt

Edwin, if you had to explain Feedly to someone who barely understands RSS and blogs, how would you do it? (feel free to link me to something pre-written. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Rahsheen, send me your email address: fourlittlebees at gmail dot com and I'll send one right to you. :) - Cyndy

Rahsheen - Regator is geared more towards RSS and blog novices but we do have some more advanced tools that allow you to set up your own feeds. You can set up RSS feeds for any combination of blogs on the site, keywords that appear in posts, Favorite topics/channels and your saved posts. We aren't altogether THAT social just yet. We are launching a much needed redesign next week which should really improve the look, feel and usability. We will be adding more social tools shortly after the redesign is up. - Scott Lockhart

@matt: fair enough. We tried to improve some of the productivity gaps in the "latest" view + keyboard support but Google Reader is still the king if that is all what you do. We are going to continue to add a couple of things in the latest view but as you pointed out it is not our core focus. - Edwin Khodabakchian

I might add that if you are looking for new stuff in blogs that is less boring and more pro-active in giving you a range of topics in an easy to read format, you might give Regator a look. We have qualified editors who handpick all the nearly 4000 blogs on Regator in 450 categories. We also aggregate audio and video which makes using the site far less boring - so we have heard. http://www.regator.com - Scott Lockhart

Hey, Scott. You guys are based here in Atlanta? - ♫ Rahsheen™

Yes we are! In Decatur. Wanna have lunch or something sometime? - Scott Lockhart

@Rahsheen: I do not really have a crisp description yet. We want to help people build their own personalized newspaper/magazine. We do not deliver on this promise yet though. We need to let people better describe their interest, we need to better organize the articles (more by topics and meme and less by sources) and we need to become more a companion of their existing web experience (vs. becoming a new site). What would you change/improve? - Edwin Khodabakchian

Definitely a possibility, Scott. :) - ♫ Rahsheen™

Not sure, Edwin. I have been on-and-off with Feedly *and* Google Reader. I get most of my info from right here on FriendFeed. I plan to do an evaluation of most of the services mentioned here, though. Trying to find the best ways to stuff more info directly into my brain in the shortest time possible. :) - ♫ Rahsheen™

Regator looks interesting, Scott. Can't wait till you guys open it back up. Have a few nominations for you guys :) - ♫ Rahsheen™

We're releasing our redesign next week where we are pretty much simplifying everything and increasing the usability significantly - we've had pHDs in online usability and way smart web 2.0 folks advising us on it and we're excited to see what people think. Nominations for new blogs will be opening up again soon thereafter. Right now our editors are just going out and finding great blogs ourselves and letting them know. - Scott Lockhart

Everyone should have this one: Extension List Dumper 1.14.1 ( http://sogame.awardspace.com/ ) -- Dumps a list of the installed extensions. Makes it super-easy to share what you're using. - abacab

abacab - yeah that is a good one, thanks! - Susan Beebe

I always install FoxyProxy ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... ) [I install http://www.torproject.org/ first - of course], and on machines where I mess with page design, I install measureit ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... ) - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod

I would say Flashblock and a tie between ScreenGrab and Scrapbook. The latter two are very useful to me but for different uses. Flashblock is just too important not to rank #1. - Pierre

Two essentials are download statusbar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... and foxmarks https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Tobias Verhoog

Gmail Manager (cos it's always on after starting up) and iMacros (Use mainly for site logins). - Jonathan Kong

Robert.. start talking to Om.. he seems to be doing well. - Chris W

You are lucky scoble, you are well known enough to always land on your feet, even if fastcompany scraps .tv - Mark

Christopher: Om started doing his own business long before I did PodTech. And, "doing well" means "he just got funded." I knew I wouldn't have gotten funded when I left PodTech because I had no team to build out anything and no way to do that before a downturn hit. - Robert Scoble

John: because I saw a downturn coming and wanted to hook my brand onto a stronger brand -- building a media company going into a downturn didn't sound like a great idea. I'm happy with my choices. - Robert Scoble

Mark: FastCompany can't easily scrap TV -- at least not in 2009. :-) - Robert Scoble

@scoble: funny to hear you talk like this-- I think you're underselling your brand. In any case, did you ever think about TV? Get an agent to see if you could get a show? Somehting like that??? Bring the message to the masses????? - john conroy

John: TV is going to see a bloodbath next year. Why would I want to be on TV? By the way, that's not me saying that. That's Harry Fuller who used to run KPIX for 20 years (channel 5 in San Francisco). He called that six months ago and it's looking very true. - Robert Scoble

TV would be bad for Robert. Too many restrictions and they would force Robert to change the way he does things. - Chris W

Robert: Hang in there man...It's almost surreal watching this happen. I've never earned a lot of money, and I've been in and out of jobs off and on (I have major ADD and no health insurance), so I probably won't feel the pinch for a while. This is a time when I'm thankful for not having a mortgage and for my landlords being family. Hope things start going better for you folks on the West Coast. - Sean McGee

Sean: the thing is that this isn't just a coastal thing. It's going to affect almost every community. That's what makes it different than the last downturn, which mostly was a tech downturn. - Robert Scoble

Respectfully, Robert, I don't think the last downturn was "mostly a tech downturn". It started out that way, maybe, but the response to the terrorist attacks slowed down everything - travel... tourism... you name it. - Louis Gray

Louis: yeah, you're right, but 9/11 was a temporary and quick hit on economy. This is going to be far longer and deeper. - Robert Scoble

sì. il fatto che explorer va mi fa capire che non è l'adsl nè un problema del pc ma proprio di firefox. ora provo a disattivare tutti i componenti aggiuntivi e speriamo bene :D - Adamo Lanna

ah, quindi è zozzilla che va a manovella, non l'adsl... che meraviglia. (per favore, qualcuno potrebbe spiegarmi come si disattivano i componenti aggiuntivi, così provo pure io? grazie.) - giorgia

ecco ora senza componenti va bene. @giorgia vai in strumenti-componentiaggiuntivi, poi uno per uno li clicchi e disattivi; riavvia firefox e vedi che va bene nuovamente - Adamo Lanna

@adamo, denghiu very grazie :) - giorgia

decisamente MEGLIO. :) - giorgia

se non mi sbaglio è feedly che fa piantare firefox - Adamo Lanna

non lo so quale fosse a farlo inchiodare, li ho disattivati tutti e bafangùùùlo :P - giorgia

sì io li sto riattivando uno per volta e con feedly si è piantato nuovamente per cui penso sia quello. adblock, greasemonkey, bettergmail vanno bene, puoi riattivarli :) - Adamo Lanna
