what do you like better about feedly then friendfeed or others? just curious. I'm trying to cut back, not add more tools, great s they might be. i'm exploding!

Can I like this 3x. Thanks for a GREAT recommendation, Bwana. My new fave Firefox extension.

Wow, even the screensaver function is cool...I might be leaning to feedly and away from greader...
- Anthony Farrior
Revisited based on a few 'endorsements' here on FF. Wow. Easy, fast, just cool.
- Charlie Anzman
I definitely need to spend more time with it, because on first impression, it's just too much information in one place.
- cecily
What are the implications of "no thanks"? Same as "Mark as read"?
- Andrew Smith
@cecily if you get a chance, go to the feedly dashboard (through dashboard link at the top right of the screen) and click on the star next to the sources you like the most and see if the what's new page looks any better. The other option is to click on the "cover" icon on the top left on the nav bar and see if that view is more diggestable. If you have specific ideas on how to make the interface more appealing let us know!
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@andrew no thanks = mark the article as read + let the feedly recommendation engine know that you did not like this recommendation. This metadata is then used with other criteria to unfluence future recommendations.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@Edwin, thanks, good to know.
- Andrew Smith
@Bwana Where is Feedly video, I love Bwana TV more than Scobleizer TV : ))
- Erhan Erdogan
Edwin, one main suggestion - use plain language. Why call it "no thanks" when "mark item as read" is more intuitive (and doesn't require guessing)?

What do you guys say to the folks who say Feedly crapped all over their Google Reader (adding feeds to it)?
- David Risley
It's in this thread David: http://friendfeed.com/e... We asked for a bigger warning since the one there is easily missed, the Feedly guys chime in as to why they did it that way. It doesn't "crap" all over your feed, it does create new folders, but they are easily removed. They are working on an undo procedure as well.

- Shey, Jamaican of FF
iGoogle has been my home page for well over a year and what I have found is that via widgets its generally there for me to either click on gmail or to go into google reader - the other widgets are generally worth an odd glance but thats about it - I've put feedly as my home page and will see how this works out - but first impressions is a clean easy to use interface even if you have a few hundred feeds to juggle..
- Jican
Feedly is awesome: I had a few hiccups after installation, but I re-installed, and it has been a real help in 2 ways: 1) motivated me to clean up my feeds and sort them into a major category 2)motivates me daily to actually skim through and read the content that is closest to my current interests. well done!

- Chris Stevenson
I don't work for them, so I don't see a reason to convince you. Some people like it, some don't.
- Fleagle
Hi Chris: feedly tries to provide a magazine like summary of your google reader. Some users only care about productivity and find the magazine like interface a step backward. Some users like it and use it in concert with their google reader. Some people prefer using the magazine like interface only.

(1) Group your friends into different lists. Adding friends to these lists is done through a nifty text interface that auto-completes names as you type them. Of course, if you can't remember the names, you can also add friends through the subscription sub-menu (see screenshot).
- Mitchell Tsai
(2) See the actual home feeds of other users. This is a great way of discovering new people to follow.
- Mitchell Tsai
(3) Posting directly to FriendFeed has now become a bit easier and the old "Share Something" button has been replaced with a text box at the top of the page (though interestingly, as you search, this box turns into a search box, which is a bit confusing).
- Mitchell Tsai
(4) One nice new feature is that you can now directly upload pictures to FriendFeed. While we really like universal uploaders like Pixelpipe here, sometimes you might just want to send a picture to FriendFeed. This has been possible every since FriendFeed acquired mail2ff.com, but this new posting UI makes it quite a bit easier.

A zoning law and blueprint flub were the inspiration for this apartment complex. Dutch housing regulations require apartment construction to provide a certain amount of daylight to their tenants–but MVRDV architects forgot to plan for that. Their solution? To hang thirteen of the 100 units off the north facade of the block. The ingenious design saves ground floor space and allows enough sunlight to enter the east or west facade.

If you look at the images and ignore the arms paying attention to the body though Phelps (except for his arms) is actually in front. His arms are moving though and the other swimmers arms are just pointed forward gliding.

Since there are over 24 frames per second even in ordinary video film, and far more than that in high motion film, we certainly could have used a few more images. Although, this is impressive and his last half stroke effort, amazing.
- iSteeve
24 fps gives a picture every .04 seconds or so -- the margin of victory was .001 wasn't it? So we may actually be seing the 24 fps frames here. I am not sure about high speed cameras -- what is the fps for them -- were they actually active and is footage available?
- Brian Sullivan
I used Tivo to slow this down on Saturday and was amazed at how close the finish was. What's even more amazing to me is how little NBC used the underwater cameras they had installed. I would have liked to have seen more footage from below the water - the little that they did use really illustrated the differences in technique used.

I just finished the first chapter of the excellent Scott Kelby book. It says: "If Your Photos Aren't Sharp, the Rest Doesn't Matter". Apparently I do just about everything wrong. I feel like I wasted the last 2 years (of taking pictures, that is). I almost got the fireworks right this past 4th, having followed Kelby's how-to, but I did not think about turning IS off on the lens when shooting on the tripod. While the fireworks were bright enough and exposure short enough (3 sec) for the vibration not to matter too much, I was amazed at the waves the perfectly stationary city lights made on my 8-15-second test shots when the camera was on the tripod.

Pop-quiz compliments of Mr. Kelby. What aperture should you shoot at for the sharpest photos? The smallest the lens will go? Like f/22 or something? Wrong. According to Scott, it's usually two full stops down from wide open. So if your lens is f/2.8 the sharpest aperture is between f/5.6 and f/8. I suppose I could have figured out the IS on a tripod "gotcha" on my own. But how am I supposed to know stuff like this?

I've read a couple of Scott Kelby's books. His writing style is clear and easy to understand, with a little humor thrown in too. I can't speak to this book directly, but if it is anything like his Photoshop & Lightroom books, it should be an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate photographers.

Alexi: this is a well-known feature of optics. I learned that in high school from my high-school photography teacher. Lenses generally will be 30% sharper when stopped down two to three stops from wide open. But turning off IS? I forget to do that sometimes too (on video). It's amazing when you see things shaking while you are on a tripod.

Nothing worse than coming back from shooting sunsets in Hawaii with results of about 5% good pictures to read Kelby tell me in 2 minutes how to do it better. On the other hand, I got at least one sunset on my own that was good enough to blow up to 20x30 for my wall.

Nigel, funny how Amazon lists "your" book and "my" book as "Frequently Bought Together". I guess that's a vote of confidence on their part, no? Thanks for the tip.

Robert, I guess I feel better - about the IS-induced shake. My problem is I almost never shoot on a tripod. Scott's recommendation goes: "In a place that won't allow you to use tripod, do this..." It appears he can't even conceive of a photographer who voluntarily forgoes this most basic (in his book) of necessities. No pun intended.
