Waseem Sadiq, CTO (left) and Khuram Hussain are showing me how you can send emails and messages to Twitter, Facebook, and others. It is in private beta now, will launch later this year. http://www.inbox2.com Does all sorts of useful stuff like forwarding, copying, etc. "It is really hard to build a good email client," says Sadiq. They nailed it, must try it.

Yeah Robert, ask them to let you post some invite codes to FriendFeed!

Robert, thx for the plug! Everybody that wants an invite just leave your email address on the website (www.inbox2.com), will take a few weeks before you get one tho, due to the infrastructure we're setting up to serve u all :-)

'a few weeks'!! we'll have all forgotten about it by then! -- you've got our interest now (it's about 20 people, how much infrastructure would be required?)

Hehe that is true, but if I let you guys in now I might end up spoiling the zen like email experience once its good enough. I'll tell you what, if you are willing to try out the product and tell us how we can improve it, or blog about it, Í will get you an invite (waseem at inbox2 dot com)

"Believe it or not, all of these photos are of real life-size locations or objects. The technique of tilt-shift miniature faking makes the life-sized look like a miniature scale model. The process involves using Photoshop to fake a shallow depth of field and punching up the color saturation. The results are truly amazing".

sadly enough i find the evernote interface to be rather clunky and failing more often than not on simple pages. :(
- Nicole Simon
*cough* OneNote *cough*
- John Denver
Has seemed very clunky to me as well.
- Andy DeSoto
I like Evernote too. My problem is that I keep migrating systems - and that seems to defeat a major purpose --unifying all my notes in one place. The most comprehensive and well designed note-sysem (for mac) I've seen and still use is Journler (and its surprisingly still free). I also use 'sidenote' for quick instance access notes. Seems there should be a differentiation between note 'capture' (evernote, sidenote, etc) and note storage/organizing.
- Leif Hansen
Robert, I shared with Jim Robinson too
- Richard Binhammer
I tried Evernote on an iMac (OS X 10.5.4) and had lots of trouble getting screen captures or photo captures to work. Also found that I had to close and reopen the app to get it to display new notes made from screen caps, even when the screen cap actually worked.
- Dimitrios Diamantaras
evernote is cool - i simply forget to use it everytime ;) as soon as i have bookmarked something interesting, i also forget about it thesame time...
- Dieter Schwarz
the iPhone client needs to cache notes locally - at least some useful subset. there's nothing worse than relying on a notes app to store timely info and then not being able to call it up when you critically need it.
- Jon Price
Gahh Robert! I had been going back and forth between OneNote and Evernote last month and finally decided on OneNote. Then I watched your video and now I'm reconsidering Evernote again. Why do you have to make my life more difficult? :-P

- Nicole Simon
i am using an amazing mac app called notebook. much better and much cleaner than evernote.
- Kfir Pravda
if I can't edit the note on my iPhone, it is of no use to me.
- Robert Hafer
Onenote is a fantastic tool. Someplace between a notepad and a wiki. It has great sync tools, really good sharability and collaberation abilities and good integration. I like evernote mostly as a web clipping tool (it does that better than OneNote) but thats about it.
- Soulhuntre
from twhirl
Onenote is very nice, but it doesn't run on my Mac and iPhone.
- Robert Scoble
I have loved this product ever since I heard about it (a few months ago). I can take notes from anywhere on any computer, and the iPhone integration is especially nice. I just used it today for a site survey (had to take pictures using my phone and comment on it).
- Peter Ghosh
I just use plain text files for most purposes, and save my images in iPhoto. I'm still not getting the value from these note-taking applications you young people go on about. And that "hop hip" music you like to listen to. And get off my lawn!
- Mitch Wagner
been playing with onenote, yoono and evernote. evernote wins.
- Christian Anderson
The reason I like Evernote? I can use it on my mobile phone. We go to the bookstore a lot and it's perfect for adding urls to cool things I find in magazines (but don't want to buy the magazine to remember) and for noting books I might want to buy later, or jotting down ideas for projects I find in books or mags, or doing research (I have been looking at purchasing a camera... used it go to through the latest camera mags and jot down models that got good reviews and what the interesting features were).
- Fa La La La Lindsay
@Scoble; It'd be great if you could interview the OneNote team about what they're doing to challenge products like Evernote, especially in terms of online and mobile access of notes. Just an idea.

Hey Scoble - I've been debating getting a paid Evernote account. Your interview has pushed me over the fence and I'm going to go for it after hearing some of the features they have planned to enhance it with. Just thought you might like to know. :)

While this is forgivable in a person -- if I were as tired and stressed as he is, I'd probably do this kind of thing every single time I had to field two questions in a row -- this is just not tolerable in a candidate for president, who will, if elected (unless he's Reagan or Shrub), presumably have far more stressful moments on the job, and will need the mental stamina to stay with it.

Patrick: You're a gentleman, and your point is well-taken. But he's a pro, and should be able to handle that.

Patrick: I'm a republican - the fact that the guy can't answer the question about his campaign claiming Obama plays the race card is a joke. The fact that he can't speak articulately to his work to promote racially equality across his career with ease is either shameful or truly sad - take your pick. Every day I get closer to crossing party lines. I just want someone I can believe in - is that too much to ask?
- Morgan
Yeah, everyone has a moment like that. I'm 38 and that happens to me all the time. I blank out. Imagine answering questions all the time, all day long. This is just dumb to pile on this one video, and I'm an Obama supporter.

poor guy. like others on this thread i don't take this against McCain. i'd be out of words myself if i'm in McCain's (or Obama's) shoes. i can't imagine the stress that these two candidates are subjected to 24/7. that said, there's a op-ed on NYTimes by Bob Herbert reminding people that John McCain as a maverick is just a myth. see http://bit.ly/3UGRPz

It'd be one thing if this was an isolated instance. How about the one where they ask about Carly's stand on birth control? Also, it's okay to have this happen but it's what you do that is crucial. Lose your place, don't ah, um, hem - that's not going to cut it as President. "I'm sorry, could you repeat that question?" would do nicely, cover any mental lapses and give time to process.
- AJ Kohn
I like obama and i don't like this video. Those were non trivial questions asked in intelligent language spoken quickly in a row. I'm 36 and I could easily have gotten mixed up too. Posting this is no better than running brittney and paris in a video with obama as a "dog whistle". C'mon dave, you can do better.

I think it's a shame that so much attention is played to such moments - on both sides. No one is perfect for sure, but these two both stand for more of the same - big government, high spending, way too much interfering in our lives, a slide toward a European style nanny state.

Another thing to look into -- I don't think McCain was all that smart, even when he was younger and in better health. We need to find out more about that.

I hate his hypocrisy. He makes a big deal about how he's always put his country first, and then he runs that fucked up ad that makes the presidency about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. He'll fuck the country just so he can win an election. That's the Republican Party. They should just disband they're such sad fucks.

For the apologists, there is no excuse for this. If you want to be President you have to always be on. The entire friggin world expects it and acts upon your every word and facial expression. This is worse than Reagen in his 2nd term. Once I would say he was thinking about something else, but this happens everytime he faces a tough question about his record!

Exactly the kind of foresight I would like to see Twitter do now.
- Dave Winer
Now that I get. Thanks Dave.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Dave, yes you spot on (once again !). However, twitter doing it is basically like asking like asking water to turn to honey. Only a miracle can make it happen. The underlying architecture of Twitter, really can't support a framework of collaborative sharing of info with other 3rd party vendors. FB did a great job with creating the app that was actually a platform. FF seems to be like this, twitter is ouf of the window.

from twhirl
Harold, I don't think there's a "problem" -- they're overworked and head-down and faced with an enormous amount of opportunity. It must be hard to sort through it all, and to them, a missive like this from me probably sounds pretty shrill. "Oh there he goes again." I don't blame them for this, but I would be remiss if I didn't put my stake in the ground so we can play Monday Morning Quarterback in 2010 or so. (Murphy-willing, knock wood!)

Network Solutions are the worst company ever, i don't know why you related Twitter to them.
- Nicholas James
I suspect that the problems from this past weekend are only going to exacerbate the problem. http://tinyurl.com/5pkpjs Not only have they missed they opportunity, but poor communication and support are seriously eroding the customer base. That the victims of this weekend's situation included several strong Twitter evangelists has unfortunate potential. Even tho the folks involved seem to mostly still carry a fondness for Twitter, their followers witnessed the problems and were involved in the solution.

"Imagine if the world of Instant Messaging had been under one roof, if one vendor had invented it, and had 100 percent market share." Wasn't that *mostly* true of AOL, though? Didn't AOL consolidate their position by buying up ICQ? Didn't they drag their feet for years and years on efforts to make their IM play well with others? By illustrating your point with IM, perhaps you have...

Likewise, Network Solutions is an example of *abuse* of a dominant position: in 1995 they charged $100 to register a domain name for 2 years, which led to an antitrust lawsuit. They've also been guilty of domain name censorship, domain name slamming, subdomain hijacking, domain name frontrunning, selling WHOIS information, etc. ad nauseam.
- Karim
I, for one, am glad their business model didn't become IP of a namespace
- Ross Mayfield
I'm really surprised that this weekend's problems of account closings haven't caused more of a fuss. It seems to me that it would be such a big deal, it would be the final straw that would get most of the major twitter advocates to finally pay attention to the whole issue of federation of microblogging. Also: this is the umptyzillionth thing that's made the thought go thru my mind that they must be *trying* to fail!
- Tegan Dowling
@Karim: While AIM is definitely the dominant IM standard here in the US, it doesn't even come close to being so abroad. People I know in India and Australia, for example, don't even know what "AIM" is. Yahoo and MSN Messengers are both the dominant IM networks there. I think that Dave's example very much reflects why Twitter would have done better in the long-term with an open model.

It would be great to see FriendFeed run their own laconica service (identi.ca).

Isn't Identi.ca exactly what you're looking for? FriendFeed doesn't support multiple instances of FriendFeed, but I'm already party of multiple Laconica (the source of Identi.ca) networks via one seamless interface. There are some kinks, sure, but I'm bowled over by how much they've gotten done in a month.

Marina, I am an identi.ca user. How do I follow a user on another laconi.ca server? How do they follow me? Please post a pointer to the docs. This is very important.
- Dave Winer
Dave, when you are on the profile page of a user on another laconica server (such as mine: http://waka.me/wil) just click on the Subscribe button. It will then ask you for your profile URL (yours would presumably be http://identi.ca/dave) then submit the form. Your browser will do an OAuth redirect dance, after which you should be subscribed to me.

from MojiPage
Mohit, the market is badly fragmented *now.* QQ is huge in China. Yahoo! and MSN started beta testing interop only in 2006. Google whipped out their checkbook and paid AOL a billion dollars for interop, and even that is lame -- AIM users can't see GTalk users from AIM. My point was that AOL *used to be* the dominant IM, just as Network Solutions *used to be* the largest domain name...

After posting about the bikinibloggers of Urlesque & the wish for naked bloggers of Playboy at http://www.aboutblank.nl it was worthwile to pay some attention to influential female bloggers. Really influential, I'm talking about. But why do all these American sites pay so much atttention female bloggers, I wonder. So sudden, I mean.
- Ton Zijp
whole story is suspect due to claim that blogging pair coined term "fugly" - WTF! :-)
- Deva Hazarika
What does it have to do with America, Ton Zijp?
- Andy DeSoto
Andy, just that the attention is there so suddenly, in such a way that they all make a list (20 bloggers Urlesque wants to see in bikini, 9 Playboy wants to see naked, 50 really influential according to N x E). I follow news about weblogs worldwide, I publish about it daily, so for me it's really surprising that in just a few days all these sites are concentrating at female bloggers. I don't take conclusions on that, but it really surprises me. July = bikinimonth? Like Urlesque said?

I was sceptical regarding SecondLife from the very beginning despite all the hype and much so due to the very same reasons as you: I think their business model is not really focussed (if there is one at all): For non-business users it is not focussed on those willing to be there on a regular basis and to pay for using it (ie. gamers), for business users it is just not scalable and...
more...
- Arnd Gronenberg
I just don't think that SecondLife offers any benefit to the person using it. WoW is a game, so the benefit there is implicit to gamers, but what's the point in just going onto Second Life? If, however, it was a bit more "social-networky", and intergrated with things like Facebook so that I could write on someone's wall by visiting a virtual house and leaving a message, or something, then maybe there's something in that. If you could go to a virtual cinema and see movies (or at least trailers)...
- Neil Barnwell
...and maybe go to virtual music gigs to watch new bands play, meet my friends walking through a virtual mall that has an Amazon store, a Play.com store, an Apply shop. All of which I can go in, play with the merchandise, search the store for it without having the walk around and around in circles, then buy it without queuing up. This is starting to sound like fun.
- Neil Barnwell
In fact, you could have "Virtual Microsoft Surface" in a 3D environment, any virtual bar, table, desk could be a surface that you could log into to see your email etc. You could send/recieve SMS, use Twitter... Hang on, we can do all this in real life. Erm. I don't know what my own opinion is any more. Lol.

There are lots of companies emerging in the 3D space on the web. Take a look at Ogoglio, 3DVIA (my company) and others (not the least of which are Microsoft and Google). Expect there to be a lot of noise in this space in the next 10 years.
- Matt Baron
As a 3D artist I'm impressed by Vastpark and Blink3D (and Ogoglio, but I'm biased since I built the avatars.) Vastpark has a friendfeed room to show off it's lovely capabilities. Blink3D is web-based if you want it to be, and has a really easy workflow for getting assets out of your 3D package and into a scene. Ogoglio is very Webby, and has lots of potential. There is a small but growing community hoping that one of these can be adapted to serve as a 3D client for Metaplace, which is capable of so much.
- sergiooo
Also, whoever nails a great set of content creation tools with an economy in a virtual world will give SL a big run for it's money. People won't mind a client download if the VW gives them awesome social and build tools, plus a robust client that can run on any half-decent computer. Hence Blink3D for me (today at least, let's see what the scene is like tomorrow.)
- sergiooo
Exitreality.com is another good example of a web-based 3D space for socializing and it already integrates with MySpace, AIM, bebo and friendster. Not available on Mac, though and this IS a knock-out problem. Why? Imagine having a home which only friends wearing leather shoes can enter. It's physically impossible to enter wearing any other material. Most of the world uses leather shoes, but you keep the rest from visiting you. Sounds pretty stupid, huh? And not very social :-)
- Gaby K. Slezák
Vivaty seems to be a very different beast than Second Life, since you are not supposed to 1. create 2. own 3. sell/buy original contents inside their platform.
- Opensource Obscure
Also, Linden Lab (that runs Second Life) is developing an open protocol that will lead to interoperability between virtual worlds. They are actively working together with IBM and other independent developers about that. I think this is interesting and I don't see a similar openness in other virtual worlds platforms future strategies - http://blog.secondlife.com/2008...

David: that was demonstrated yesterday by Mitch Kapor: http://blog.secondlife.com/2008... - I agree that it will be great for "augmentation" (even if not all virtual worlds users share this approach).
- Opensource Obscure
are they using DirectX? What will the technology be on the mac? I wonder how important performance and flexibility is in this space.
- Neha Narula
3D apps are going mainstream, and it's not just virtual worlds. The improvements in hardware are extreme and the minimum common denominator is getting much better and therefore easier for the developer to architect and deliver a good experience.

The Tesla was really cool when I saw one in Los Angeles at the car show a few months ago. They left the gas cap in the same place, and when you open it, an electric plug is there. It's a hell of lot better looking than all the other electrics. They were sold out for 2008 already though. Get on the waiting lists if you really want one. They are backed up...

Clarke, from my understanding, when sitting stopped in traffic the only power the car uses is for brake lights and whatnot. the motor isn't running. Someone "in the know" please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also using the battery for A/C, etc. I bet its range will be severely limited here in AZ in the summer when the AC has to blow on high all the time.

You'd think they'd put a better radio and sat nav in the thing for the price.
- xero
who cares about the sat nav and stereo in an all electric car at this stage .. they need to be more worried about getting the range up more then stuff they can put in it to suck the juice out the battery quicker .. 225 is about 4 days worth of driving for me .. not too shabby .. but sitll not sure about the price

When the car is >$20k it better come with sat nav. If it's >$100k like the coupe, it better come with damn good components, or none at all.

The difference between Jaiku and FriendFeed is that Jaiku wasn't funded and its founders weren't rich. They sold to Google to collect their bucks, and it was the right decision for them. FriendFeed doesn't need to sell out. So unless Google offers really a lot of money, there's no reason to sell unless Google has plans for FriendFeed.
