I still wish there was a better market/developer/download management, period :) So many things missing or broke - top daily/weekly/monthly - they don't even change the app image advertisements at the top, developers have little control for version management - neither do users. You have to release separate apps for "lite" and "full" versions, spamming the market... along with spam apps...

Most videos are a waste of time, even when what they say teach or show is useful they do it with so much wait and filler
Jean-Marc Liotier and Jemm liked this
That's in part because many people see video as easier than writing - no need to plan or script it, just babble and people will watch
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
What that does is swap their time (planning, editing a tight video) for mine (having to wait through unedited babble)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I always prefer text over video as it is faster to skim through and contains often more substance than videos.
- Jemm
Yes, they have gotten away with it so far because of the novelty for most people. And I find a lot of programs on TV as the same. Yes, it is sometimes nice to show things, but no need to always dramatize, create fake suspense and delays, and just waffle on about the same thing 5 times...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
For fiction and fun it is different - some things work in film/video that dont on paper (and vice versa)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
The only videos I find useful are either the highly edited ones or those which render an impression of an atmosphere. For the rest, I wish there was a transcript available along with the video.

Do you really learn that much from video? frankly video drives me up the walls, because it forces a rhythm on me, a sloooow one usually
Mahendra (SkepticGeek), Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF, tom murphy and 5 other people liked this
in a text document format you can skim the bits that are too slow, and slow down on tricky bits, but video forces their view on you
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
and yet nowadays so much is done in video, online - because it is easier to do. We don't yet have "style" expectations from video.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Perhaps one day video will have the same amount of thinking/editing work put in it, and it will offer ways to adapt speed
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
we might need DVD style segmentation for online video - so you have a "yes, i know this bit, next item" button we can press
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
On top of feeling slow as molasses, video lacks the machine readability of a transcript.
- Jean-Marc Liotier
My response to this dilemma is to wait for other people to watch the video, and skim their comments
- Nathaniel Thurston
Skimming people's comments is another danger to sanity altogether. I do like sites that have text transcripts - I just go straight to that first
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I prefer in-person demos (but will accept video) for things that are locational and spatial in a way that is either hard to express in words or something that I have a hard time getting from merely reading. But I love reading.
- Spidra Webster
I hate web casts and training videos etc. They are often too long and offer little substance. If there is a transcript or a blog post, I'd rather use them for reference.
- Jemm
I can learn using any source - if it's video I'll watch and do shortly after they do up until the point where I overtake them. I'll pause the vid and continue what I was doing until I get stuck. Unpause to see where I deviated from them. The only thing I can't learn from just reading is another language, but then I have a rather big problem learning other languages anyway ;)
- alphaxion
Video is slow, yes, but on the other side some conferences are really stimulating.
- Thierry Lhôte
In general, I don't like video that much, but there are two notable exceptions. I like screencasts. For me, they cost the least effort to get a sense of a new piece of software, or some particular development technique. Aside from that, I like to watch lectures and talks from experts and prominent people. I think there's information in their articulation, tone of voice, gestures and...

- Meryn Stol
yes, video is a far better way to share a conference than just transcripts - when it comes to debate and opinion and seeing what was there. Although it also makes it painfully visible how few people actually really have something to contribute...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle, I'm usually not very interested in audience questions. For me, it's all about the speaker. I'm talking about videos from TED and Fora.tv (various venues) specifically. Also, if you spend so much time alone behind a desk as I do, then it's nice to see a living, breathing human being once in a while - to share some laughs and tears with.
- Meryn Stol
One other reason I like video is that it can remove false images of a person. Especially people who are - to some extend - demonized by others may look very human, caring and reasonable when you see them talking, if only in a brief television interview. What's left usually are some whacky opinions/positions which can just as well be ascribed to ignorance as to disingenuousness. Almost without exception, I end up with a more favorable opinion of a person after watching a video performance.
- Meryn Stol
You spoke my mind, Joelle. The only videos I think are worthwhile watching are when multiple people are interacting in real life - conferences, discussions, etc. Single person interviews/videos force their slow speed on me, and I always prefer text transcripts.

how do u mean?
- Zee.
I mean I'm tired of Facebook and Twitter. It's all anybody talks about, and it bores me.
- Cristo
its because everyones using it, its whats big on the web right now. Its quite easy to block it all out though. Unsubscribe from tech people like me, stay out of tech groups, stay clear of twitter
- Zee.
I use both, frankly.
- Sean Quinn
from twhirl
@Zee: I find it rather surprising that FB is only just officially announcing this, I've been seeing the SMS subscription link for several weeks now
- LANjackal
@sean what if Facebook had all the same people, same ways to keep in touch etc...would u still use both? (genuine question, not rhetorical)
- Zee.
under peoples profiles LAN? I haven't there till today
- Zee.
@Zee: Yep. I belong to one of FB's initial rollout networks, which I've noticed gets me new features ahead of time *sometimes*. It's happened once or twice before. *shrugs* I saw it, clicked it, realized there was no one I needed to know that much about all the time, and ignored it, lol :P
- LANjackal
@Sean: +1, I use both too. I absolutely hate Twitter but it's the current public microblogging leader, so ...
- LANjackal
"new feature"? Beg pardon? SMS from Facebook has been available for several years now. It's very unlike twitter in that it still requires a reciprocal relationship, and not merely following.
- Glen Mistletoe
@Zee: RE the question you asked Sean, I'd still use both. My FB is reserved for people I know IRL. Twitter is open to anyone. Therefore both serve very different purposes and audiences for me
- LANjackal
I heard SMS was dead. ...oh wait, I might have that confused with something else.
- Edward Zwart
With the G1 out now, why doesn't Facebook add T-Mobile to their Mobile carriers? Doesn't make any sense why Facebook (the worlds largest social network) continues to NOT support Tmobile.
- Brian
I'll still use both because of the asynchronus relationships on twitter. I've also developed a different community on twitter than I have on facebook.

anyone know when vanity URLs are out ? techcrunch posted last weekend they reckon it's this week.. times running out :D

@Glen Years?? http://blog.facebook.com/blog... and regarding reciprocity...for sure, but the same way twitter works - it depends if the person decides to open parts of their profile up completely or not

@LAN - i still reckon with lists its going to be very possible to have all the communities you want to on Facebook

@Stuart...no idea, i wish i knew myself

I've been receiving SMS updates from my Facebook friends since December 2007. Their blog post doesn't mention that it's a new feature; they're just drawing attention to it. They used to call it "Facebook Mobile"; the only thing new (that I can see) is that they're using the term "SMS" instead of "Text Message" and it's now right on the front of the profile instead of being buried under...

- Glen Mistletoe
With that feature I can't get sms updates. I have a phone company that isn't on there. It's not well known so it's not on there. Plus I update Twiiter more than I facebook anyways. I always tell people to follow me on Twitter because I update it more. If and when Facebook becomes overpopulated (which is slowly starting to happen) I will just use anothersocial network like FriendFeed or Plurk. I will not go back to using Facebook.
- Patrick
from twhirl
I agree with Cristo
- Johnny
Personally, I think the multimedia and streaming functionality we have here on FriendFeed is the best I've seen thus far - like Patrick, I don't think I would go back to using Facebook, at least not in this way...
- Gunther Sonnenfeld
but Glen you could never respond to other peoples updates via SMS because the commenting under updates never existed before. And, at least in the UK, i've never had the mass of SMS noticiation options that we have available now.
- Zee.
In my case, my Facebook circle is significantly different from my Twitter circle, so I would still have occasion to use both. In my case, my Twitter and FriendFeed accounts are more tightly integrated than my Facebook and FriendFeed accounts, so that gives Twitter an edge there since I use FriendFeed more than I use the other two services.
- John E. Bredehoft
I'm not the biggest fan of Twitter, I find it extremely hard to have a conversation with someone. I have indeed seen that Facebook is transforming into a Twitter-like-state. But that doesn't mean One is copying the others. Facebook has had the ability to receive updates via SMS for a while. That doesn't mean one's turning into the other.
- Matt Ruiz
@Matt, I agree totally, just had a bit of a rant on another post "like it or not, twitter is becoming infrastructure" mentioning about the conversation aspect of twitter and how its only made easy by the use of clients! i've pretty much given up on twitter, friendfeed just provides a far better experience
- Stuart Evans
@Patrick, exactly. FriendFeed may be a feed aggregator but it feels more like an easier way of knowing what your friends are doing without stalking them.
- Matt Ruiz
@zee suprised you haven't got a vanity url already :P
- Stuart Evans
Zee, normally I hide all posts that have Twitter or Facebook in them, but sometimes I make an exception. There's really nothing technical about either, so if I spend time in Tech groups, I can probably avoid them both pretty easily.
