Real-time Google Reader Shares to Twitter - There's An App for That. - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
Nice - been looking for sthg like this
- Jan Dawson
New Yelp iPhone app is also out. There's a cool easter egg (Augmented Reality feature). Here's how to do it:
Andy Bakun, Kenn Ejima, Denise Howell and 92 other people liked this
Download the new Yelp app (came out yesterday). So you shake your iPhone 3 times. That activates a feature called Monocle. A message should come up if you activated it. A blue box will come up saying "the Monocle has been activated." It will create a button in the top right corner. Now you should be able to look at the bars, restaurants, etc. Only works on iPhone 3GS.
- Robert Scoble
waiting Robert.... :)
- Sampad Swain
You point it at businesses, or down the city block. I'll try it right now.
- Robert Scoble
Yep! Works. Took a few tries to get it to activate. Some of the places it shows me have been closed for ages though, guess I need to update Yelp for the area.
- Otto
That sounds so cool. Would love to see a video demo of it Robert!
- Alex Calic
I wonder why it's an easter egg. That sounds great.
- Daniel Ha
I just did it. Very cool. I hear this feature was added for me. I really love it!
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Daniel: probably to get it through the iPhone store approval process faster.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Raises the question of whether they would have rejected it if they'd known about it. Or did Yelp tell the reviewers about it?
- Jan Dawson
Very, very cool! Just tried it out. There's not a lot on Yelp near by work (kind of an industrial area), but I did get it to find the nearest restaurant. So cool! :-)
- Josh Bancroft
awesome!
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
as long as Yelp allows iPhone users to rate on the fly.. previously had to sync first (not smart)
- Sam Levin
can anyone grab me a screenshot of this? i want to write about it
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
I do love beating TechCrunch with news! :-)
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Yes, Mr. Scoble, you beat RWW, TechCrunch, AND Mashable! Damn.
- Ben Parr
I can't get it to work... :(

We need a Yelp for Federal, State and Local government services.
- Chris Stevenson
Too bad nobody will ever see it 'cause you mentioned it here and not on your blog ;-)

Installing
- Stephen Pickering
The instructions sound like World of Warcraft.
- Steve Rubel
You android lovers will see that 'Layer' reality browser does the same as Monocle
- Wayne Bentz
Yelp also just launched their Palm Pre app in the Palm app store. No augmented reality that I can find :-(
- Ken Sheppardson
Yelp doesn't seem to have much support for Canadian business according to some reviews
- Alex Knight
Marshall, I just blogged a screenshot. Will be on www.tinyscreenfuls.com as soon as Posterous gets it there.
- Josh Bancroft
Stupid 3GS. You guys think you're so cool. Easter eggs, harumph! *mumble grumble*
- Sarah Lane
Yay it works in Canada too!
- JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
Nice idea but in my case the locations seem to be about 180 degrees off - i.e. showing behind me instead of in front - but may be down to a fuzzy GPS location or something - will have to keep trying
- Jan Dawson
I wonder why it was "secret", ... undocumented API usage or just to create marketing buzz ?
- Kooleido
Kooleido: I hear it was added at last minute.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Damn, nothings happening. I've shaked it :(
- Stephen Pickering
No iPhone 3G love because no compass? Phooey. :P
- Cheryl Jones
Installed It! Works Awesome! Would definitely use it on my next lunch hunt in Downtown
- Kooleido
Got it to work--just took a little more shaking...was worried I was going to put my phone through the ceiling!
- Larry Roth
Kooleido, how'd you get it to work. I've installed and shaken, but nothings happening
- Stephen Pickering
Oh--and very cool
- Larry Roth
Stephen shake in long and hard strokes.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
I hate that the iPhone 3G can handle all this new stuff, but Apple insists that you need the 3Gs. Qik on the jailbroken 3G has been awesome!
- Elijah Nicolas
@Elijah Nicolas The 3Gs is for the built in compass that is required for augmented reality to work.
- JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
lol if it was added for you Robert it would show the cutest girls in the area instead
- Sherry Reynolds
Didn't I hear that Apple had an embargo on AR apps til next month?
- Brian O'Connell
Very cool, thanks for the info. It appears you have to be logged into Yelp though the app before the monocle option will appear.
- Patrick Looney
just posted about it http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... good job finding it first Robert!
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
1st sentence typo in your post Marshall ;o)
- Alex Calic
Couldn't get it to work by "shaking it" but I got it to work by moving my iPhone up and down 3 times in a vertical motion. Pretty damn cool.
- Doug Rice
Marshall, how do you get that camera view? I can't seem to get mine to work. I've shaken and shaken
- Stephen Pickering
Well, thats slightly cool.
- Sean Oliver
Stephen, you should probably just keep shaking. In publish, with lots of people around. :) No, I don't know. I don't have a 3Gs so I don't have a compass so I don't have the Yelp AR.
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Holy crap. It really works.

@Marshall - We still love you guys, your article's great. :D; @Robert, props. Total props.
- Ben Parr
@Robert thanks it's fun http://bsu.gr/4414782
- briansugar
I made a screenshot here: http://www.flickr.com/photos... It takes a few tries to turn on the option though!
- Daynah
posted about this on Obsessable and my blog. We'll see if Techmeme grabs it and actually puts this FriendFeed thread first, or if they just ignore it until TechCrunch covers it lolz http://www.obsessable.com/news... & http://www.sampletheweb.com/2009...
- C. K. Sample III
ah Marshall got it up first on a notable blog... http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...

I got it to work and man, is it sweet! So smart.
- Leslie Fishlock
Shake the darn thing 3 times :)- they say that break dancin was learnt , robbing hubcaps of a movin car in NYC.. so lets so what the new thing will be by the time th iphone has all the motion sickness activiated apps !!
- Peter Dawson
just got word of a THIRD app with AR live in iTunes store! http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... I'd say it's official: AR apps have come to the iPhone!
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
I already had 2.0.2, but I'm downloading 3.0 now. I'm not thinking it's going to work in my office, but we'll see.
- RobinDotNet
Ok, that's really cool. It even works sitting here in my office at home.
- RobinDotNet
Downloading now. I am absolutely fascinated by the idea of augmented reality!
- Victoria Harres
This is pretty cool but the shake 3 times thing doesn't work too well
- Jason Wehmhoener
from iPhone
This is fantastic, just activated Monocle. For those having trouble, its best to move/raise and lower the iPhone 3 times vertically instead of just shaking it. I was shaking mine like a madman until I tried the vertical move.

I just got this going on my friend's 3Gs. I don't even know what to say. That is freaking incredible! Makes me want a 3Gs *just* for that feature!

Just tried this. Awesome! Too bad I'm in a po' dunk town with nothing to do. :)
- BRҰANSAҰS
Amazing, how on earth did you find it! It's still 6:00 am, perhaps I'll Yelp for breakfast
- Nalin Perera
Wow, I'll have to say this is phenomenal. Wish I'd had this on my trip to D.C. a couple weeks ago. Yelp just made an incredibly useful app even more useful. I've seen a lot of developers working on this technology lately but it looks like they beat everyone to the punch.

I just got the yelp AR to work, and I am staying tonight in a hotel, so I went to my window, and held the camera to the window and it was able to show me reviews of the businesses right across the street from me! I am in love with yelp all over again!
- Colide81 (James)
Can't get it to work! Shook long and hard!
- UniqNYC aka Jeff
from iPhone
This youtube video should help you learn how to get it Islandwoo, I think its in how you shake it, I tryed several ways but after I watched this video I did it like the guy in the video and it worked. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Colide81 (James)
Yeah, you've got to learn to shake it just right! :-)

Here is why I have two Twitter accounts and what I'm learning:
Orli Yakuel, Tamar Weinberg, Sheree Motiska and 42 other people liked this
1. Because my main account needs to follow everyone who is following me for DM reasons.
- Robert Scoble
2. But that means I can't closely follow my friends and people I've met face-to-face.
- Robert Scoble
3. Following 100,000 means you'll only randomly see Tweets, and you'll miss too much good stuff.
- Robert Scoble
4. There's no way you can completely follow more than a few hundred people. So, if you've followed more than 1,000 you need two accounts.
- Robert Scoble
5. I've been using this technique here on FriendFeed for more than a year and it really rocks (FriendFeed lets you split your friends up into lists, while Twitter forces you to get more than one account).
- Robert Scoble
http://twitter.com/notsecr... is my second account.
- Robert Scoble
or use TweetDeck, right? I haven't used it, but I understand it lets you group/prioritize the people you follow
- Joshua Maurice
Scoble, this solution doesn't seem to scale. In another year does this mean you'll have a supersecret account that only follows select people from the secret account?
- Ryan Jones
so one account for people you really want to follow and one for everyone that you follow back at both FF and Twitter?
- bev
Guy Kawasaki does this right?:
- Steve Rubel
Robert: makes sense...but what is the advantage of 2 accounts compared to Groups
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I use TweetDeck to organize my close friends into a list. That way, it's really easy for me to just follow those who are close to me, but still get DMs from everyone.
- Eric Pender
Is there a client aka Tweetdeck that allows you to pull in your Friendfeed friend's lists?
- Stephen Kennedy
... or any other BETTER filtering service than Tweetdeck, like PeopleBrowsr.
- Alan Veeck
Edwin: none, except that Twitter does not support groups and I'm not going to invest the time to build them in, say, TweetDeck when there's so much innovation going on in Twitter clients.
- Robert Scoble
There are more than a few Twitter usability issues that I'd like to see changed in addition to the required multiple accounts, deleting of DM's being easier and organizing of people as well....Tweetdeck allows this but Twitter should have thought of this internally...
- Walter Schwabe
This seems like a lot of effort to deal with the problem of courtesy refollows. Why not just follow those 500 people or so on your main Twitter account? If you don't care what people say publicly and they're just noise, why deal with the acres of spammers sending you DMs to shill for some crappy product?
- Trent Hamm
bev: right, I think. Ryan: yeah, this probably doesn't scale. But for now it does.
- Robert Scoble
My Twitter numbers are strikingly similar to my FF numbers - when it comes to followers / followees. I've never broken 1000 when it comes to people I follow and every so often I go through and prune my list to help tune the noise. I've given up on Twitter and really focus most of my effort on my FF friends.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I see. the 2 account approach makes it portable across twitter client. smart
- Edwin Khodabakchian
With Seesmic Desktop I created groups like "China, Hong Kong, France, Ogilvy, etc etc" and it works fine
- Jean-François Amadei
Alan: for instance, if I had spent the time doing that on TweetDeck, now I'm using Seesmic Web. So I'd have to recreate the groups.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: What is you 2nd FF account?
- wiredgnome
Tweetdeck became a necessity after 100 follows. I have groups and I rarely add to them- which means that me following you on twitter means virtually nothing as I rarely read the main feed. I can see this really corrupting your % followers to followed, which I do care about. Anyways, FF does make this a more feasible situation, to follow lots of people and still interact with them. Whereas with Twitter I'd have to resort to 2 accoutns.
- anna sauce
Amir: I only have one, but I have several lists of friends.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Do you recommend that technique to everyone?
- wiredgnome
I jus noticed, you don't follow me on twitter for DMs. heart breaking, that must be why you never answer me on twitter :P
- Özgür D. Cyric
Has anyone tried http://www.grouptweet.com/? I like its features, makes it easy to have private groups on twitter.
- Nagesh C
I do the same, and it greatly improved my twitter experience. now i never miss what my close buds are saying.
- sean percival
Looking through the list, I noticed you follow lots of people, but not a lot of feed type accounts. No newspapers, rss crossposts, etc... It's all people, maybe discuss why?
- Jim Graham
Seesmic is a good little program, not as "weird feeling" as Tweetdeck.
- Gus
will they add tags/filters on twitter? would be nice, but one thing which makes twitter great is its simplicity
- diegovanegas
Amir: either that technique or join FriendFeed. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I follow millions at a time with my one Twitter account. :-) - http://staynalive.com/article...
- Jesse Stay
Jim: because I want to view my news through the filter of people I know.
- Robert Scoble
To me the conflict between DM and tweets proves a weakness in the twitter concept, so why not pushing them to address that. You can set up a massive vote for something like this.
- Jcm Manuel
Jcm: if Twitter listened to me they would get rid of the Suggested User List. I'd rather not beat my head against a brick wall.
- Robert Scoble
So this new one is basically Scoble using Twitter the way everyone else does?
- Jan Dawson
There must be a proper way to combine things. Twitter is all about limitations, but if they force people to have 2 accounts, there's clearly something that sux.
- Jcm Manuel
Jan: most of the people I'm following have thousands of friends. This one is more picky.
- Robert Scoble
I don't see how you keep up with them both.
- Kevin Montgomery
Kevin you can keep up by using tweedteck or seesmic (allow for multiple accounts)
- Jcm Manuel
Kevin: multiple screens. And I don't look at 100,000 people very often. The noise there is extraordinary.
- Robert Scoble
With your 2nd twitter account, you pretty much can ignore the first one, but use second one to broadcast to a much bigger group. One for socializing, one for broadcasting?
- Nagesh C
I know.....I use tweetdeck, but between email, myspace, facebook, twitter......it's ALOT of noise. I'm struggling to actually engage on twitter they way I would like. Robert, do you remember me from the Himmelman/Skin tour?
- Kevin Montgomery
I bet that your DMs will diminish on the first account pretty soon, if not already
- Nagesh C
That's a great idea, especially for someone like you. How can you even keep up with all of these comments on your posts? FF is definitely much more logical and organized than Twitter. I only use Twitter for those who don't have FF, and then I just have imaginary friends. I hardly ever go to Twitter (in any form).
- Californian
Nagesh: the smart people DM me on FriendFeed already, yes.
- Robert Scoble
I don't have the problem of thousands of people I follow, but I do know that before I follow someone, I look to the posting behavior. If he/she's posting just a few good messages per day I follow, it it's a spammer like Scoble I don't follow - unless he's called Scoble of course LOL. But my approach is to choose very carefully.
- Jcm Manuel
By the way, the whole LINKING between services sux too. For instance, I follow Scoble on another twitter account. But when it linked to friendfeed, it logged in with my other account (I have 2 accounts there as well) - because in the browser you always log in with the account you last logged in (unless the session has expired). I didn't even notice that I didn't "friendfeed" with the account that sent me here. There's very little control over all these things - I make errors like this very often.
- Jcm Manuel
Aren't most of the people you've met face to face on Friendfeed with feeds from Twitter/blogs/facebook/etc..? In terms of broadcasting, feed the main Twitter account and use FF to filter, as you mentioned. Seems simple enough, am I missing something?
- Benjamin Taylor
Some 2 hours ago I was looking on the Seesmic site if they had some public planning of developments, but I couldn't find it. I would love to know what they plan - e.g. if they plan to add friendfeed to Seesmic desktop. And myspace feed of course.
- Jcm Manuel
Loic says they were waiting for FriendFeed's new API to work on FriendFeed support. I'd expect that's coming soon now.
- Robert Scoble
ok that's great anyway. I find it strange though that myspace is so often ignored - that's 250 million people as well. Seesmic, Flock... etc. they don't seem to care a lot.
- Jcm Manuel
This is the exact reason why the number one new feature Twitter needs is user groups. With user groups you can manage the information and pay attention to what is important. I find it surprising and actually ridiculous that they haven't been able to implement this feature yet. Scoble is right about not investing time in Twitter clients to create user groups; the innovation in this field...

- Angus Burton
I do the same thing. My second account I call the "PIMP" group, People I've Met Personally. Two accounts is better than Tweetdeck groups because I don't like to be stuck in tweetdeck.
- Scott Jangro
for me, Twitter is biz, Friendfeed can serve as both personal and biz. Originally, my 1 twitter account was meant 2 be personal, but now its more than that, its 4 advocacy and social purpose. Therefore I find if I want anything personal, friendfeed and identi.ca would be better serve 4 me!
- polou/indigo_bow
I've said it several times in several places, and again here just to hear myself ramble. Tweetdeck misses tweets very often. I've created columns/groups/whatever you wanna call it to follow family and friends. It misses their stuff more than it catches it. So, for me, and several other people I know, it's unreliable... and therefore unusable. I'm not too keen on using Peoplebrowsr or...

I have 3 twitter accounts and manage a friendfeed & twitter account for someone else, so that makes 4 twitters and 2 friendfeeds I have to keep my eyes on.

@April u r one busy person!

I have opened a second twitter account to stream there most of my links I feel like to (re)share w/o comments, and reserve the "main" account for more "conversation-like" stuff. Not sure yet if it will work, I am still experimenting. I also realized that I can use that second account to filter my twitter feed when I am mobile (follow real people on one account and news sources on another, for example...)
- Ashalynd
I usually find that interesting things I find on Twitter already has been filtered through to Friendfeed, so I have to say I care less and less about checking Twitter
- Asgeir
Just suspending my experimental automated one. Apparently A LOT of people don't dig that :) The TOP SECRET address is .....
- Charlie Anzman
All of this just so you can get DMs on Twitter? Your email address (and your cell phone number) are right on your blog. Do you have so little faith in email? Or do you want to force people into 140 character messages, so you get less lengthy emails? By creating convoluted systems, you haven't solved anything. You're not addressing an obsessive need to be in touch with everyone through...

Re: Is The Exclusive Deal Between Apple and AT&T Anticompetitive? - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"Several points to make here: 1. The whole current system is broken because of the lack of transparency over real phone prices and the nature of subsidies.

What is the purpose of the class - why do you want to learn everything about leadership? Is it to improve the participants leadership skills or just to tickle their curiosity?

Also a variety of other sources online suggesting it's fine (along with its opposite - righter - and the logical conclusion, wrongest, which is also endorsed by Merriam Webster). Happy to agree to differ about this, Jesse. I appreciate the sentiment, regardless. We could all do better with our online grammar. PS you're already on the fourth page of results for "wronger definition" on Google... ;-)"
