- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Yes. this is the feedly mini toolbar. Gives you metadata from friendfeed, google reader, digg and allows you to share the content of the page on Google Reader, tweet it or gmail it. If you find it too intrusive, you can turn it off see preferences for more information http://www.feedly.com/home#pr... Please let me know if you have other questions

1979. My dad volunteered to run a new department at his University. It was a new computer department running a DEC PDP 1134. Not long after we were connecting a dumb terminal to our analog phone at home to dialIn to access his mainframe at the school. I was 10.

1992/3 - I was forced to learn it so I could teach using it. I remember sitting at a 486 reading while I waited for a page to load, so I could plan how to use it in class.

Early 80's. There was only hosted chat rooms and it was all text and ascii art. I think MedDirec and the Green Door was a couple of them and I think some universities were toying with email.

I'm looking at getting a time/task manager app that works between both OS X and my iPhone. What are your suggestions and why? Also, I don't want to spend a ton of money (i.e. The Omnifocus Apps that cost $100 together).
Things. It's superb, less complicated feeling than OmniFocus, but still feature-packed and with a flat-out gorgeous (and effective) UI. Does cost $49 after a trial for the Mac version. iPhone version is free, and the two sync wirelessly and automatically.

Mike Bracco: What other Mac online backup solutions did you try and what are the features separating Backblaze from others to be the best?

Berk, I tried Mozy when it was first released and I just found it slow, and backups would fail. Backblaze was slow too (initial backup took 17 days), but once it was finished, it's been well worth the money.

Berk: I tried Mozy as well and also played around with a friends machine that had carbonite. I like Backblaze b/c is just works...I literally don't have to ever think about it. It was started by some ex apple guys I believe and it can definitely show in the final product. Very few options - it just backs up in the background. It also stores versions of a file so sequential backups are...

I must have tried Evernote five times, but can't really get what is SO useful about it. Maybe it's the "how" - can someone direct me to how they use it and why it's useful to them? As far as paid apps, Pandora, Carbonite and Extra Storage on Google. That's it.
- Vince DeGeorge
Vince: check out Evernote's blog http://blog.evernote.com/ as well their tumblr blog http://evernote.tumblr.com/ They have some great use cases on both sites. Maybe that will spark some ideas on how to utilize it. It's one of those things where you have to kind of be conscious of it and make yourself use it - then after a while it naturally becomes part of your workflow - at least that is how it worked for me.

Pandora One is the pay Pandora account. It offers more skipping per day, double the bit rate quality (192 - huge difference from free account) and also a longer timeout period.

"You can only upload 3 audio files every day. Please try again later." Too bad because I was really just trying to see what files worked. .wav aint one of them. No audio notes from Evernote, iPhone, iProRecorder. I soooo want to love this but It's not doing what I need it to do. This feature needs to support some kind of multi photo post with a recording appended to the message. That should be right out of the box. Video needs to come right behind it. Music is cool but citizen journalism is even cooler.
- Christopher Harley
I haven't tested this but, how exactly are you determining audio file types, just using the file extension. If so there is a work around with a simple file rename, an example would be if you change an .mp3 to a .pdf and let people rename it once it becomes local on their machine. EDIT: This workaround would also allow video to be transferred.

Josh: here in friendfeed there's just a lot of noise sometimes. Blogs tend to me more thought out than most of the things people import here, which can include Tweets, short items, upcoming events, etc. Sometimes I just want to see blogs and Feedly brings me that. Also, there are still lots of people who don't use friendfeed (although that number goes down every day, I'm getting 1,000 new followers on friendfeed a week which demonstrates that friendfeed is growing pretty quickly).

I liked Feedly, but FireFox not so much, compared to Safari. Unfortunate that they have to tie it to a browser.

I'll give it a try, I'm just against adding Firefox plugins as my main browser now a days is Chrome
- Jorge Escobar
@Jorge. Yes. When you read an article in feedly, it is marked as read in Google Reader. When you share an article in feedly (thumbs up or share with note icon), it will be shared in Google Reader. Finally, when you save an article for later in feedly, it will be starred in Google Reader.

Thanks Edwin. I have to say, I got a lot of errors using the plugin, mainly authentication. I logged out and logged in several times, but every time I click on a story I got an error message.

- Bill Kinney
Feedly appears to have grown up since I played with it about a year ago. I may try it again but Firefox has really lost my love as of late compared to Chrome. When Firefox only crashes individual Tabs in separate memory spaces (which is rumored to happen), then I may love my Mozilla tool once again. Seems like I'm not the only one who feels the same.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
manielse: I agree. I love Chrome and wish Feedly worked in it.
- Robert Scoble
@bill: feedly supports most of the keyboard shortcuts of Google Reader (j, k, s, n, p, etc..). Click ? in feedly to get the complete list. @jorge: yes for about 10 minutes, the registration and authentication service had their heads under the water. Should be back to normal now.

I am an experienced user of both Google Reader and Feedly, with subscriptions to over 1,000 feeds, and have discovered that I can cover much more ground more quickly and more easily with Feedly than with Google Reader. But Feedly takes some investment of time and effort to learn -- there is much more to it than meets the eye at first glance. Its full value isn't apparent until you dig into the full feature set.

I love Feedly. I don't read a lot of RSS feeds, but the ones I do are very diversified, and I think Feedly organizes well. I like the magazine feel to it, and I really like the fact that I can mark a feed read, but save feeds I like to really read or refer to, when I have more time.
- Bonnie Foster
finally, a way to look at RSS feeds that's welcoming...you know, like a normal website :-)
- Julian Seery Gude
One of many Feedly power features: you're subscribed to hundreds of feeds. You want to jump to a particular feed without navigating lists of feeds. Start typing the name of the feed in the Feedly incremental search box, and bingo: there's the feed, ready to click through to. Example: typing "lif" -- three characters -- brings up Lifehacker. Try doing that in Google Reader.
- Sean McBride
LOL: now I don't want to read my Google Reader feeds so that I accumulate enough to see them tomorrow on Feedly...
- Jorge Escobar
Experimented some more with it tonight. I had recently cut a whole bunch of feeds out of Reader because it was getting to be too much. Wish I hadn't now, feedly bubbles things to the surface quite nicely (and better than GReader's own Auto sort feature, IMO). Friendfeed integration is pretty killer too.
- Bill Kinney
Confirmed that Feedly is still not for me. Just rather see an enhanced, smarter GReader with Filters, User Behavior Ranking (not Social Ranking but knows others what this) and Topic groupings (auto hide articles that appear to be duplicates).

Brian: j, j, j should mark articles as read (titles turning black instead of blue). If you are seeing a different behavior, then it must be a bug. Could you please open an issue on http://www.getsatisfaction.com/feedly with any potential error message being printed in the firefox error console when you click on j? Thanks.

Yup. Feedly is great and I especially like the mini toolbar, makes sharing stuff on Twitter a breeze!

Resistance is futile. It is a wonder drug, accessible, legal and enjoyable in hundreds of different varieties and styles. Life is too short to give up on that!

"Of course, many consumers aren't aware that the handsets they buy to go with their service plan are subsidized by the carrier, who hopes to recover that cost by locking subscribers into two-year contracts. The $199 is the subsidized price paid by current 3G iPhone users; AT&T has to pay Apple a subsidy north of $350 for each iPhone it sells, according to some estimates."

I have a feeling either Apple or AT&T are going to have to do SOMETHING about this launch. Once that pricing information hit, the buzz DIED. I have a feeling this may well be one of the worst product launches in Apple's recent history.
- Justin Flood @justinflood
All of the major carriers have been pricing their phones in this manner for over a decade. This shouldn't outrage anyone. It's their own fault that they used their two year contract discount on their 3G iPhone last August. On the other hand... I definitely understand the kick in the ass one would want to give themselves over their inability to stay patient and wait for the iPhone that...

It's time for all carriers to offer tiered pricing at six month intervals leading up to a full subsidy at two years. With the amount that we're being charged by AT&T and others there's more than enough room for profit. Europeans frequently have 100% subsidies on high end phones while we pay $200-$300 for the same equipment.

BuddyFeed has been my favorite for a while now ...

Nambu works with friendfeed, twetter and ping.fm
- David Foucher
BuddyFeed. The UI is snappier than the iPhone site and I don't need to sacrifice a Safari tab. I wasn't happy with Nambu cuz it sacrifices FF features by trying to do too much.
- David Chartier
I had a similar feeling with Nambu, and also found it less solid (buggy / crashiness wise) than BuddyFeed ...

I was using MotherFeed but didn't really like it too much
- Simon Tracey
I've just realized you can customize the BuddyFeed toolbar to include Comments and Likes icons. This is so much better now.

Thanks all. I just bought BuddyFeed. It seems to work quite well. Better than Motherfeed or Nambu (which crashes frequently).

I'm using friendfeed.com/iphone and I'm finding it very functional

My sister-in-law just started this home tutoring business in Wellington Florida. An accomplished local student herself, Kristen graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, spent two years in the Peace Corps in Zambia doing educational projects and more recently has been tutoring in Wellington Florida for another company. She's going out on her own now with her friend and Wellington High School Teacher Brian Nelson. They're both accomplished and have a strong record of service that drives them to give back. I would take my own kids to them and although I have a natural bias, I can recommend them both without reserve.

This is a super helpful article on how to gain full control over your WordPress menus using three different plugins. I have done all of these things manually in the past. It took a lot of time to research and then make the edits to my menus using the old-fashioned way to attain my desired effect. Not so anymore with these plugins. BEAUTY POST MATE!
