A few photos from a vacation last weekend in Dubrovnik, Croatia. - Simon
Beautiful as usual, Simon. You are an amazing photographer. - Bret Taylor
Rachel and I are going there for our Honeymoon!!! Staying for a few days before taking a cruise along the coast up to Venice. These photos are amazing. - Kevin Fox
These are amazing. Nice work Simon! - Karen Padham Taylor
Thanks :) The city is so picturesque that there is a photo to be taken regardless of where a camera is pointed! Kevin, you'll have a fantastic time. It's a great that you are going to stay for a few days since you can then visit the old town at times other than the afternoon and avoid the crowds from the cruise ships. - Simon
Damn these are awesome. My favorite is the harbor. Serious kudos. - Jim Stanger
Wow. Truly amazing photos! - Jeff Turner via twhirl
Very special, out of the ordinary photos -- love the blue tints. I want to visit this place. - Sean McBride
Hi Simon, I'd be interested in a comment on your selection of Smugmug over Flickr. - Stuart Forsyth
Stuart, I just prefer SmugMug because of the UI from the visitor point of view. I think it makes browsing a little simpler and more intuitive for the occasional visitor, and I think it looks a bit more elegant than the Flickr interface. I have thought about moving over to Flickr though. - Simon
wow please let me know if you do so i can see your uploads more regularly. - Mrsth
Thanks Simon. - Stuart Forsyth
Wow, these photos look fantastic.... - Bindu Reddy
Brilliant. Reminds me of Myst :). - Steve Crossan
Simon, Stuart: I agree, Smugmug is far easier for the casual user. Flickr is a community site through and through. Would be cool if they incroporated some gallery features. But then, one could of course develop something like a Smugmug interface for Flickr with the API and maybe have the best of both worlds. Do you get a lot of views/interaction from the Smugmug community or do you use is mostly as a gallery site for "external" visitors, Simon? - Ole Begemann
Morrowind, not Myst. Gorgeous - Michael W. May via twhirl
Simon, you need not dedicate yourself to one online gallery. They're not mutually exclusive. Why not use them for different purposes? Also, see http://tabblo.com and http://zooomr.com. - John Lam
Simon, did you set your camera to Greenwich Mean Time? All photos seem 2 hours later than as reported. - John Lam
John, I used to have accounts at multiple providers but converged to one out of laziness and convenience. All the times are GMT. Local time was GMT+2. I find it easier to sync with my GPS tracklog when everything is GMT, particularly when I happen to be travelling to multiple countries and timezones (although this vacation was just to Croatia). Ole, about 98% of the visits to my SmugMug site are from non-SmugMug referrers. - Simon

“Survey: What % of your media is consumed in electronic form? For me it's 95%.”
June 13 at 1:23 pm - Link
What all are we considering media? I still have a bunch of meatspace books... - Emotion Tad
what other media is there? (almost honest question) - Ruben Llibre
@Tad my 5% print is books. - Steve Rubel
Easily 95%. - Liana Lehua
I actually print out FriendFeed pages. I'm the only one? - l0ckergn0me
@Chris Pirillo I have someone read it to me every night. - Steve Rubel
Holy Cow - I wish I could go mostly digital, but until I can buy digital books with the same DRM as meatspace books I'm sticking with dead trees. I should be able to resell, trade and borrow books. As for magazines, if Zinio would just add some more titles I could be 100% digital in that realm. - Emotion Tad
90% when at work or home, 70% when traveling - Ontario Emperor
Bordering around 98% for me. - Mike Fruchter
The only non-digital media I consume now is non-technical books (still prefer reading good hardcover books and magazines (business week, HBR) when I fly. - Deepak
Easily 95% I don't buy/read newspapers. By the time it hits the page, it's old news. Plus, they've chosen the stories for me and I cannot engage or interact with that content. Most of our major print papers in Canada are owned by a couple of private corporations. These corporations are tied to the conservative party. Their content reflects a conservative/corporate bias. If I want to find quality balanced journalism I'm going to look online - and I'm going to look at many, many, many, many different sites. - mel maverick mcb
Deepak - BusinessWeek is available via Zinio - I subscribed a while back and I've been loving reading it on my computer. - Emotion Tad
books are all that's left for me too. and i dont think they count for 5%. i read half a book or more daily (if you add up all webreading). - Ruben Llibre
@Tad I like the Web version of Zinio. - Steve Rubel
Don't know about a percentage, but the only non-electronic medium for me is books. Everything else is digital. - Zio Bonino
better question might be how often do you consume non electronic media. I do that every day and would really miss the newspaper if I didn't have it at least once a week. I also like pottery and theater, two other media :) But 95% electronic is probably a low estimate. - Marshall Kirkpatrick
I work completely online so I comsume most media electronically, but I spend an hour in the morning with the papers and at least two hours reading per day. Except during the NBA finals. - Ralph Poole via twhirl
I agree, I'd say at least 75% in my case, and most of my print media consumption is due to my work or a few pubs. that still don't have great online content yet. - Cathryn Hrudicka
I like my mp3's, but I love my vinyl. I like sitting in front of my laptop skimming various things from FF, but i love reading a great book at the end of the day.For me, it's not about percentages, it's about the differing emotional impact of the two sides of the equation. - Iain Baker
99.9% - Mark Forman
98% digital. I haven't touched newsprint in a long, long, time. - Thomas Hawk
98% - I only buy my Sunday Times on sundays - Roberto "Maverick" Bonini
magazines are pretty much the only non electronic media i find myself looking at. And usually they come with a dvd so...98% maybe more. - Squid
with the exception of books for weekend reading, it's pretty much 100%. - Michael Gartenberg
In terms of words per week - probably 99%. - Andrew Garrett
I'd probably be at 95% or so. There are a couple of magazine/journal subscriptions I still like to read in print. - J. McConnell
95% or more for me. Books and an occasional magazine, otherwise all electronic. - Don Nunn
95% - The only print items I read are a few magazines and the Sunday newspaper. - Michelle Martinez
Let's see? I read a book at night...but that's it. - Laurent Courtines via twhirl
Probably 90%, I read a bunch of magazines, and constantly have a pen and paper handy, but the amount of magazines I read is dwarfed by the amount of reading I do on the computer (~20gb of e-books, ~50gb of music, granted flac's take up much more space than mp3s); Side note, gotta agree with melmcbride (~10 above me) and say that the newspaper is short, uninformative, and worst of all, old news nowadays (At least in a magazine an article can be expanded on to complete the idea). - Mike Seman
Still a lot of books and magazines but I'd say about 70% - Andrew Smith
Another vote for 95% electronic -- only books, the Sunday NYT, and a bimonthly issue of Cook's Illustrated. - Nancy Sagar
70/30, if I'm out I still get a paper copy of USA Today, and have time and newsweek coming here. - BCK
80% electronic [20% books]. - Ed Shaz/NextInstinct
Would have to be at least 80% I heard a stat yesterday that digital media is consumed in volume 14 times that of print! - Luke Harvey-Palmer
I'm definitely in the 95%+ range. No question. - Jeff Turner via Alert Thingy
99% for me. Sunday paper is the last non-electronic media bit. - Kevin C. Tofel
For me, 95% electronic. That would cover internet & computer, TV, radio, etc. The other 5% for me is books, newspapers, and a couple dead-tree magazines I still subscribe to. - Paul Short
about 85% (15% 10min newspaper a day and one magazin left per month, sometimes books, but most of them audiobooks these days) - Wolfgang Luenenbuerger
i'm at about 95 percent too but i'm not sure how proud i am of that fact. - sean808080 via twhirl
Probably about 75% - still read a LOT of books in print (tho' have a kindle) and newspapers & tons of print magazines. Increasingly digital on the magazines since some are just starting to offer them. But books to me will be both digital, but always room for a real in print physical version. I love them. I'd rather fall asleep with a book than a kindle or mp3 player on my lap! - Paul Greenberg
85 percent. I skim the real WSJ and KC star daily, but for anything I truly commit to reading, is through my reader. I do, however, get a chunk of NPR in during the morning commute. - Jarrod Morgenstern
I don't think there's anything to be ashamed about reading some stuff in print. For some material, print can't be beat. - J. McConnell
I'd put it at 85-90%, given the amount of books and mags I try to consume. Curious how the digital breaks down for the 95%ers: TV v Computer v Mobile. - sawinkler
I'd say 75%. But that's because I can't give up the books! - Simon Bisson via twhirl
I'm 80% digital: 65 computer, 10 radio, 10 books, 5 Blackberry/txt, 5 TV, 5 newspaper/magazine. (I'm counting satellite radio as digital.) TV, newspapers and magazines are time-killers, though - not must-do's. - Sarah Morgan
Online: World News: 90%. Local News, 5%, Industry News, 85%. Sitting down with a book or magazine feels like a holiday. Comprehension and absorption are higher with print, however. - Dana Lookadoo
95% Only dead tree stuff is books and the occasional magazine that isn't otherwise online. - Jim Graham
I don't think that I could ever give up print media entirely, unless that is eventually made mandatory by the death of print media itself (knock on wood), so I still consume a vast variety of books, newspapers, and magazines on a daily basis in addition to my consumption of electronic media. I'd say my percentage is around 65%. - Atherton Bartelby
60% - i started to read more dead tree stuff again lately. - derlinzer
Gee, friendfeed commenters are more digital than traditional... Chalk me up as not surprised. To contribute to the noise, 95% internet media: free weekly newspapers are way more valuable for most local events than online media. - Bjorn Stromberg
I avoid paper like the plague, but I do read the occasional recommended book. - Rahsheen™
about 70-80% - edythe
98% or more, including technical books, technical papers, popular fiction, magazine and newspaper articles, etc. I used to be drowning in paper documents -- now my space is nearly paper free, and I love it. I currently have a few hundred ebooks stored on my Samsung Blackjack, including weighty tomes on linguistics and suspense novels. - Sean McBride
70% - the other 30% would be books - Glenn Dixon
Still read print newspapers and weeklies, paperbacks for the commute, and dusty old books in the smoking room. But I have enough feeds to make that teetering pile small and have to go with 90% ... - Ashton
I too read books on my commute so maybe 20% books, 80% electronic. I very rarely read print magazines or newspapers anymore. I live in Google Reader. - Wm Morris
50% print - 50% online - John
I still read books... but I think I would read them faster if they were an etext - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
About 50%. I will love holding broadsheets like the IHT, Financial Times, Guardian, Weekly Telegraph. Long form copy doesn't lend well on the Web - when I want short and sweet, I go online; otherwise, I read papers and pubs. - Darcy

In many ways, I think that if Twitter goes to a fee-based service, and people migrate away in droves, it might say more about the community than it says about the application. - Daniel Rothamel
I think you're right, Daniel. - Jeff Turner
If it were a more robust utility with no ads, I'd pay for a pro account in a heartbeat. It's already important to my business and social life and I don't see the future of the medium going away. - Brad Coy
One of the keys to Twitter is the "free" aspect - many (most) people don't "get" it until they've tried it for a while - maybe a 120 day free period and *then* fee based? - Jim Duncan

“Does Friendfeed make Google Reader less relevant or more?”
June 2 at 12:38 pm - Link
for me all those social lifestream sites, killed the RSS reader long time ago... - Orli Yakuel
It's made it less relevant for me. By the time I get to a story in Greader, it's already been shared several times over in Friendfeed. I mainly use Greader to bookmark stories for later now. - Mark Trapp
I'm neutral on this one, Steve. My Google Reader habits haven't changed since I started using FriendFeed. - Bryan Person
I haven't found enough people yet for it to replace Google Reader. Lots of tech stuff here, but not the spectrum that I subscribe to in Google Reader - Bwana McCall
They are both MicroMeme trackers http://www.web-strategist.com/... - Jeremiah Owyang
Full text feeds, archiving, flagging and tagging keep me in my reader. But now I see stuff here first. - Steve Rubel
More for me because it gives a wider audience for micro-blogging via Shared items. - Lee Stranahan via Alert Thingy
I think it adds more meaning to the shared items. - Mike Wills
Less for some, more for others. - Mike Reynolds
It has the same relevance, because it is finely tuned to my likes and dislikes. A social network... even of peers... can never replicate that. So while FF works nicely for breaking news, it won't replace the depth of knowledge I acquire from Reader - Jamie
less. except your statement presumes that Google Reader was relevant. not. - dave mcclure
Less for some items discussed by subscirbers and more for topics I am passionate about. - Gerry Garcia
I might say just a bit, when twitter came along, that's where the news were breaking, the same is with friendfeed maybe even more, but good old reading of feeds is different and still part of the game - Dobromir Hadzhiev
@Jaime - well said...thank you. - JA Castillo
The same. Google Reader is an essential element of FriendFeed. - Louis Gray
@Lee I agree re. shared items.@Dave Google Reader is second to Bloglines. - Steve Rubel
I think it really adds to GReader. I share stuff all the time now with notes and its great to see it get out there and spark some conversation. It's not quite there yet to replace GReader from a usability perspective but if it did get there I would probably switch to it. - Devlin Dunsmore via twhirl
FF makes GReader more relevant for me. I see stories here first. I use my reader as a way to catch up on news that I may have missed. - Alex Williams
I tried to go all FriendFeed, but found I was missing too many stories...so I'm back to using both. - Chris Rossini
They serve different purposes for me. - Jeff Turner via Alert Thingy
FF has allowed me to trim my GR feed list. For example, I dropped my various Scobleizer feeds from GR because FF does a better job of filtering them for me. - Delete Me
The uses are different. My primary use of Google Reader is to gather together the content I need to read. That doesn't necessarily equate to a need to solicit the reactions of others to that content. FriendFeed is handy if I do feel a need to gather reactions. But I cannot see myself giving up one for the other. - Jill O'Neill
More relevant and useful. Reader serves as a content delivery system will FF serves as an excellent aggregator and recommendation system. - tsudohnimh via twhirl
FF will reduce reader usage a but it's not a real feed reader e.g. can't play podcasts - Adrian via twhirl
Less, but not obsolete - Shey
Depends. For me, neither has a significant impact on the other. At least not yet. - Mike Keliher
I think they are complementary in the sense that some things just don't do well in FriendFeed. I want to be able to read all of my tech news, but the friendfeed river is time-based which makes it more difficult to keep track of. - Rob Diana
I don't think it makes it less, necessarily. After all, *someone's* got to find a story initially, right? - Sean Goller
FriendFeed and Twitter have nearly replaced GReader for me. The trusted human filter beats scanning through 100s of posts daily to get to a gem. Hopefully not all will stop using them or the great posts will eventually dry up. Based on other comments here I might cull my subscriptions and then share more. P2P-like over me just taking and taking. - Jay Gilmore
Less; until Reader becomes as social. - Stowe Boyd
For my personal workflow, Google Reader feeds my blogs as well as FriendFeed. So I vote for "more." It seems easier to track shared items on Google Reader than liked items on FriendFeed. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
FriendFeed is very useful, but in a very different way than Google Reader. I need both. - ron k jeffries
because of FF, I have LESS TIME for my RSS reader :-) - Thomas Ho via fftogo
More, for depth (and because FF adds meaning to share). But FF has it for discovery of new stuff. - Eric Johnson
@Thomas Ho - haha...so true! - JA Castillo
I almost completly stopped using RSS reader. I use FriendFeed and one custom news page on NetVibes....via feedalizr - Shahar Nechmad
I don't feel it's made it less relevant, I come across blogs here that I wasn't aware of and add them to my subscriptions there! - Joe Dawson
I want to be able to mark FF treads and ditch the ones I have viewed. Until then, I have to use my reader. - morten saxnaes
using both but finding that I'm starting to use Google Reader differently. More like a discovery device by following search-based feeds and then using FriendFeed to follow specific humans. - Marnie Webb
Google reader is simply another source of data for Friendfeed to aggregate. The environments can exist independent of each other. The wonderful thing about Friendfeed is that you can continue to use all your applications/data sources and have them automatically collected and displayed. Applications such as Flickr, Google Reader, and Youtube have become popular because they are good at doing specific tasks. An aggregator does not make those applications irrelevant. - Mark Nassal
Less relevant. - Svartling
I still use GR occasionally, but most of my information comes from FF. Digg usage way down too......via feedalizr - David Sim
I use gReader to follow blogs I can't find in FF. Also as a discovery tool, because sometimes I share stuff from there here. Sometimes directly with gRader and sometimes using the bookmarklet. I'm using it less because of FF, though (I deleted a lot of Tech blogs subscriptions the other day). - Alejandro S.
I prefer GReader to FF. It's less cluttered than FF. With FF I check in to see the things I missed in my feeds. - Snay Trivedi
I primarily use GReader - it's easier to locate information. I just come over to FF to see what "friends" are doing. - Kim
I agree with Snay and Kim. Comparing the 2 is like apples and oranges unless you simplify the scenario to include only breaking tech news. My scope spans far beyond that and I can't get the health, auto, environment, local, mountain bike and personal blog articles in FF that I subscribe to in GReader. I don't consider it a replacement but another way of getting information. - Jon West

Now this is a feature of FriendFeed that I can appreciate. I have all but dropped my use since it is so much useless reposted noise for the most part. But since we can have a focused group here such as this Utterz page, it makes much more sense. And... we can subscribe to the page, so we get the content pushed out to us (unlike forums). - Rich Palmer
