No. - Mo Kargas

@Zee: Thanks. I still think Google would be a decent fit as Google's social networking forays so far have been duds: Reader was never intended to be the social tool Google's trying to turn it into. Google Talk's getting blown away by FB chat. Google Profiles is awkward, Blogger is a nation unto itself, and Groups is ... just there. I'm pretty sure FriendFeed already has more "social"... more... - LANjackal

my favorite skin so far, no doubt - Zee.

Cool, thanks! - David Cook

Shareaholic now has a bookmarklet, thus allowing it work with browsers that don't support extensions (in their stable releases) - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

Great, finally no more need to add it as generic RSS feed. But how about including photo stories too? I can't find a way to estract a feed for them, but it must exist through some API as lifestream.fm does include them in its service. - Flavio

FB has had a redesign and the status updates link is gone. Can anyone help here? - Kol Tregaskes

"An all new version of the popular Twitter, FriendFeed, Identi.ca, and Seesmic monitoring/publishing tool Twhirl is being unveiled later tonight. Seesmic CEO Loic Le Meur, who acquired the Adobe AIR-based application right around this time last year, has invited bloggers to come take a look at "Seesmic Desktop," which is what will be replacing Twhirl." - David Cook from Bookmarklet

very exciting. can't wait to see what comes out. hopefully it will still be an air app. - Randy Ksar from twhirl

PS3 Media Server is a DLNA compliant Upnp Media Server for the PS3, written in Java, with the purpose of streaming or transcoding any kind of media files, with minimum configuration. It's backed up with the powerful Mplayer/FFmpeg packages. Ready to launch and play. No codec packs to install. No folder configuration and pre-parsing or this kind of annoying thing. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, there's an automatic refresh also. - markx2

@Carlos, Ok, will have to check this out then. - Rodney L.

Supposedly they're going to give Touch Pro users a free upgrade to the new one. - Nathan Mylott from Bookmarklet

"The new-ness is underway, and Palm just debuted its long(est) awaited all-new handset, the Palm Pre. The curvy touchscreen handset has a 3.1-inch 320 x 480 multitouch display, with a silver center button down below and touch sensitivity all down the face -- the lower part is for "gestures." A full QWERTY keyboard slides out from the phone in a portrait orientation, and you can flip the phone on its side for accelerometer-sensed widescreen browsing. The phone is running Palm's all-new webOS platform, with TI's new OMAP CPU under the hood -- which Palm claims provides laptop-style power, and which juices the phones smooth transitions, scrolling and "deck of cards" app-switching. Other internal specs include EV-DO Rev. A, 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth with A2DP and 8GB of built-in flash storage. There's a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash, mass storage-friendly microUSB plug and a good ol' 3.5mm headphone jack, but most exciting is the wireless charger -- a first for a mainstream phone. More shots are after" - Susan Beebe

Sooo Smexy look, I am wanting it my only disappointment is that it has 3mp camera. :( - Ian Cleasby from twhirl

Awesome !! Twhirl on steroids. TweetDeck enables users to split their main feed (All Tweets) into topic or group specific columns allowing a broader overview of tweets. The default columns can contain All Tweets from your timeline, @replies directed to you and direct messages. The GROUP, SEARCH and REPLIES buttons then allow the user to make up additional columns populated from the live tweet information. Once created these additional columns will automatically update allowing the user to keep track of a twitter threads far easier. - SnakeDoc

@gregory, minimize? - Ozkan Altuner

Interesting, Nice find Ivan Anderson!! - Ian Cleasby from twhirl

UIQ has been effectively dead for a long time as the devices just didn't sell very well. And it was officially dead the day Nokia announced the Symbian acquisition and plans for open sourcing it with S60 UI. - Jon Price

It may be the first eight-megapixel cameraphone to hit the UK, but Samsung’s i8510 does more than simply take nice snaps. Much, much more. The i8510 flexes a formidable set of features that out-muscle most other smartphones in its class – and it’s certainly Samsung’s most feature-packed handset to date. - Michael Fidler from Bookmarklet

Getting it imported into Australia... getting it on Monday :) I will review it then - Ian Cleasby from twhirl

been using it for several weeks, very limited and boring compared to iPhone but it does have a very good camera - it's no N82 though (best camera phone I've ever used). Samsung really owes Nokia big-time for all the R&D cost they're saving, since i8510 is basically the N95 8GB with a slightly nicer ID and UI theme. oh, and the Qik client doesn't work. :( - Jon Price

And Ping.fm has added Flickr to its list of services! - Kol Tregaskes

Whoa. the Ping.fm update that includes flickr is probably the sleeper headline here - Glenn Batuyong

Great to see the duplicate detection! How does it handle the comments from the duplicate? Which of the two is displayed, the first one or the one with the most comments? - Stephen Mack

It is great to see this come out but how often do we go to the friendfeed site... does the new update affect the aggregators will this manage them I presume it will but nice 4 confirmation? - Ian Cleasby from twhirl

Yes it is I have already removed Friendfeed now due to the apps being at the back of the page. Apps are so going to drop in being used - Ian Cleasby from twhirl
