Re: Suggestion: Talk To The Source - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"I agree. You often see comments in MSM pieces like "the reporter attempted to reach XXXXX and did not receive a response" or something like that. That does two things: 1) It gives the source a clear signal that they can/should call the reporter if something is inaccurate in the story and 2) it tells the reader that this hasn't been verified with the source or their side of the story hasn't been fully included. Why can't bloggers (professional or semi-professional) do something similar?"

Brilliant! For the life of me, I can't understand why websites such as WSJ.com still limit acces to registered readers (even if registration is free).

Question: How many people here use Spaces? How many Spaces do you use?
Roberto Teixeira, Kelly W., Brad Brooks and 6 other people liked this
4 spaces most of time 1 is enough. Sometimes 2 is just what I need. Rarely 3 is necessary.
- Yann Esposito
Always use 4. 1 is for messaging: IM, IRC, etc. 2 is for web browser(s). 3 is email and calendar. And 4 is for iTunes :-)
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
I use them occasionally, usually with 2 Spaces.
- Jonathon
never
- adolfo foronda
4 spaces.
- teleken
Most of the time just one, but I use dual monitors. When it's just the laptop I tend to use spaces more, substituting for the second monitor.
- Eric P
in Soviet Russia, Spaces use you
- Alexey Ivanov
2 spaces x 2 monitors. itunes, email, web and all other
- graham mudd
None, have multiple screens. Always forget about Spaces to be honest, should start using them though.
- Simon Wicks
9 spaces: my main task in the center, and one task for each space such as: coding, im, email, ftp, console, music etc. (it could be group of apps in one task)
- Baturalp Torun
I configure 4 spaces but mostly use three. Yes, I use them often. My applications are assigned to spaces. All communication channels and entertainment options on the first; Aperture, CS3 and other heavy apps on the second; iWork, Office, Acrobat and other productivity related apps on third.
- Parth Awasthi
4 at work...
- orionstarr
I use 6 spaces, and set up my apps to open in a particular space. I go crazy when I have to work on a computer that doesn't have spaces.
- Justin Luey
There's apparently different philosphies regarding spaces, one of which is to make it app/area based (e.g. all internet apps in space 1), and the second to make it task based (e.g. all windows, regardless of app, pertaining to project 1 in space 1). Apple didn't always allow for that and I'm still stuck in mode one, though I'm strongly considering switching to mode two. I think it really depends on how diverse your day-to-day is.
- Vincent van Wylick
the number of spaces is really related to how many different apps / tasks you use / have.
- Vincent van Wylick
It is especially useful when managing a meeting and projecting the computer screen. Typically I use between 2-3 spaces. I also use it when I let my kids use the computer by creating a space for them and I can leave my other windows open.
- Kenley Neufeld
I find it annoying, don't use it
- sofarsoShawn
We didn't ask what you though of it, we asked how many you used. But for some reason you feel the need to input that you think it's annoying.
- orionstarr
1 is an answer too, orionstarr :)
- Vincent van Wylick
4 spaces... Love it!! Especially for iphone development.
- David Clements
I am actually also interested in people who find it annoying and never use it, too. If anyone never uses it and wants to provide some details why, I am all ears.
- Nadine Schaeffer
I've wanted to use it but don't really find a need currently. Plus last time I tried it it still wasn't handling multiple windows of the same app open on different Spaces properly.
- ronin
Is there a way to limit Spaces to just one monitor? I'd be much more useful (for me) if Spaces was active only on my laptop's main monitor, but not the external one.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
I've upgrade my system to Leopard 'cos of Spaces, but in fact it doesn't solve my problem. I expected that I could put IM's and mail – all this things that interrupt my work process – into one space and Pages (or something like that) into another space...but Adium still blinking with new messages when I'm working with my documents...and I'm switching between spaces...oh, god! Maybe, I use Spaces in wrong way?
- Африки
It varies. I currently have six set up and use at least three every day
- David Rosam
from twhirl
I use dimensions, right now I'm in 2d
- orionstarr
I use 4 spaces on my MBP, and 6 on my big iMac.
- Bill Sodeman
@сгустки разумного did you set Adium to appear in 1 space only? You can also change some notification settings in the Adium preferences.
- Vincent van Wylick
I use 4 on my MBP. Actually, I use 4 on both my MBP and my desktop mac. It's handy. I can focus on certain tasks without distraction when I'm in a particular space.
- Eugene Huo
i do, all day, every day
- matiasjajaja
6 on my MBP: main (Safari, Mail etc.), iTunes, encoding (HandBrake, iDVD), Things, down/uploads (Transit, Xtorrent) and IM.
- Timothy Griffin
Typically two or three. I'm not completely comfortable with the way it works. Somtimes I want the same app in multiple spaces and I get confused on whether or not that's possible. Sometimes I accidentally slide an app to another Space and I cannot for the life of me move it back. I tend to keep my FTP client in a Space by itself for example. THinking abou have FriendFeed in it's own space so I don't look at it all the time.
- Tom Parish
I have 4 but I only use 2. Space #2 is for my VMWare
- Outsanity
I use 6
- Deepak Singh
Vincent, they actually added settings for the task-based approach in the latest OS X update. I never could conceptually get used to that, personally, however.
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
I use 4 spaces in a square configuration. I find them to be invaluable to an efficient workflow.
- Chris Luckhardt
Glenn, for task-based mode, you essentially have to set all apps to all spaces, which is a big step for someone that just set each app to a different space. Task-based is superior, I think, but only off you have a screen that allows you to show multiple windows next to each other. On my tiny laptop screen, it doesn't make sense.
- Vincent van Wylick
four. NW for browsing and work, NE for Windows, SW for calendar, mail and contacts, SE for fun and iTunes
- Michele Costabile
I use 4. 1 is for web browsing. 2. is for mail 3. is for web development. 4. is for iTunes, iCal, Address Book etc.
- Paul Grav
I always use four spaces. It helps me keep my work organized.
- Seth Greenblatt
from NoiseRiver
I use 2, usually to put twitter / IM / Itunes on another screen so i stay focussed on my work
- Kalvir Sandhu
I use Spaces all the time. Helps me stay focused on the task at hand.
- Mark McAneny
I use 6: 1 for print design work (Adobe apps, quark etc), 2 for Web/FF/Google Reader, 3 for email, 4 for web design work (Coda, CSSedit), 5 for invoicing and business and 6 for writing...
- Brad Brooks
Spaces is a horrible implementation of a 20 years old concept.
- Michele Campeotto
I always have four spaces available but I mostly use only two.
- Roberto Teixeira
I have Spaces running with four spaces, though I really only use two. Space 1 is where everything except Parallels goes. Space 3 is where Parallels goes, now running Windows 7, in full-screen mode.
- Joey Gibson
6 spaces: usually only 3-4 have active windows.

What don't you like about it?

I run with 8 spaces at work, 6 at home.

- Micah Wittman

- Vicky
Sooo. Does this collect non ff twitter users?
- Phill Price
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. I also almost posted about such a feature this morning. I guess in theory I could create imaginary friends for all the twitter users I follow that are NOT on FriendFeed... is there a way to automate that? And then perhaps convert them to non-imaginary friends once they join? :)
- Dylan Parker
Some are not who they say they are.. Got a few in my list 'Mark Hobbs @patricknorton, Ron Perrella @leolaporte (private feed)' Other than those, great stuff, thought id done something like this to start with when i first signed up, guess not.
- Simon Wicks
Good stuff - thanks ...
- Patrick Jordan
Simon: we do our best to make sure someone is who they say they are before recommending them but a few could slip through the cracks. Your feedback definitely helps find the outliers.
- Benjamin Golub
oh we can also search other twitter users' friends, nice.
- Eren Emre Kanal
@Simon - noticed that too.. Some people are using FF for their personal RSS aggregator and pulling in content from other people. Most likely why they have their feed marked private.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Been waiting for this! Thanks FriendFeed!!!!!!
- Patrick Lightbody
Benjamin: Good stuff :)
- Simon Wicks
The only slight issue, which is not a big deal, is when people add other people's Twitter feeds to their FriendFeed account. In the search I got results for people who have added other people's Twitter feed to their FF account instead of the actual owners of the Twitter accounts I am following. I do this with imaginary friends. They must not know what imaginary friends are for.
- Rolf Schewe
This is cool! But noticing some bugs too. I.e. twitter/techcrunch goes to john rocker etc.
- Jauder Ho
Jauder: In that case it is likely because http://friendfeed.com/techcru... doesn't have @techcrunch added as a service. Once it is added we should recommend the correct FriendFeed account.
- Benjamin Golub
Sweet. That was easy. Nice job.
- Andrew Smith
awesome
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
No worries, I scanned the list manually and it added fine. I would suggest giving the ability to add to more than one list though. I created a new list called Twitter but would the people I just added be added to the home feed too?
- Jauder Ho
Hmm. It found 3 twitter friends for me, and none of the corresponding FF users are correct. Weird. [looks again] Oh, I get it...none of them are actually on FF, it's just that other people have imported their twitter accounts. Ugh.
- Ken Sheppardson
any chance we can get imaginary friends created automatically for twitter friends that are not using friendfeed?
- berkay
so so good...
- Zee.
BTW, there's a third party app for this. https://twitter2ff.appspot.com It can sync both ways.
- Ken Sheppardson
nice thanks ken - was wanting something that went FF to Twitter as well
- Marco(aureliusmaximus)
Oops. Smooth. Overwhelming. Added 62 & sent 8 requests. Simply good. Waiting for the big news wave now :)
- Markus Merz
this would really rock if you could do it for Flickr as well. It would also be interesting if FF was smart enough to delete imaginary friends with the real ones as they show up at FF.
- Thomas Hawk
Find your twitter friends on friendfeed
- Sean
Given I can put in any user ID, I can pull in any followers on Twitter, period. Shouldn't this tie in to the account you have registered?
- Louis Gray
It prepopulates with the account you have registered, but we let you type in any account because the info is available on Twitter, and you may have a Twitter account that you have chosen not to connect to FriendFeed.
- Bret Taylor

"Fascinating article and interesting debate. It seems to me that on the most important point @doug and @tom agree. Namely, the current and foreseeable economy of Gaza is awful. And when people have few prospects for a prosperous future and are constantly reminded that their situation in life is meager relative to those around them, they get angry. This anger is perfect fuel for fundamentalism. Fatah, Hamas, Al Qaeda and many of the other hegemonies in the Middle East and Africa use this fuel expertly to obtain or stay in power. The fact that there is a youth bulge probably only magnifies these issues and we're left with a classic vicious circle. The answer, as you both point out, is economic growth. No easy feat in such a challenging environment, but education and open markets seem to be the most important short term goals for achieving it. Thanks for the interesting dialog."
