Why I don't use Google Reader anymore - http://scobleizer.posterous.com/why-i-d...
Awesome "no one loves you" defense from Scoble :P ""But my Google Reader account is super fast," I can hear you saying. Yeah, but you don't have any friends and you don't have many things you are subscribed to." - Daniel J. Pritchett
Nice Louis! "Why I don't use Google Reader anymore - http://scobleizer.posterous.com/why-i-d... 3 hours ago from Google Reader - Comment - Like - Share - Hide" - metalerik
so, how do you (everyone) feel about google reader? - chaz2b
I love Google Reader. Everybody knows that. :) - Louis Gray
Feedly running on top of Google Reader is hard to beat, for me... - Andrew Terry
I use reader about once a day now. The "magic" view is pretty sweet. - Daniel J. Pritchett
I use it a little but it is butt ugly. - ChiliMac
Everyone uses the tool they like, GReader is clearly my information source and hub. I will skim anything I haven't filtered with my Greasemonkey script. FriendFeed is my second hub with deep interactive conversations, Facebook is mostly a little more personal interaction, Twitter is mostly quick interactions (maybe two replies) with one person. So Twitter is my lowest ranking tool out... more... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Can't really live without GReader. Since the GReader upgrades, I have put Feedly on the shelf. It's really the best way for me to follow activity on LinkedIn and all the Ning groups I belong to, as well as the usual stuff you use RSS for. - Bryan R. Adams
I don't like Greader ui but i'm still using it with Feedly. Feedly is just awesome for reading, discovering and share rss feeds. Twitter+feedly is a good combination. - David Foucher from Nambu
I look at reader before I look at my email.... Is that bad? :) (disclaimer, I work on it) - Jenna Bilotta
I still do e-mail first, Reader second, only because Reader is much more fun, and I would probably stay there. - Louis Gray
I would miss so much stuff if I didn't use Google Reader. I get so much less noise there. - Jesse Stay
I've seen this meme in a few places and I guess I don't fit the base use case as I tend to sleep from time to time and can't always be on Twitter. - Dave Hodson
All these things are such moving targets. So what is the favored anti-virus software now? - Dawn
Dawn, SocialToo ;-) - Jesse Stay
I could live without Twitter...but GR with Feedly I use every day without fail. - Bonnie Foster
Am I unique then? I read all my RSS feeds in my email program on my desktop and read them after I have read my email. - Sandra Large
Scoble has an assumption that everything of interest is inside the twitterverse. My experience is that the RSSVerse is much more pervasive. To Balance the Signal to Noise Ratio use Yahoo Pipes/GReader/Feedly to munge the data to begin with. In my case I can find many topics that have not posted to twitter - Robert Higgins
Robert: neither of us can prove that point. I am following almost 11,000 things now in Twitter. You want to try that in Google Reader? Go ahead. - Robert Scoble
Didn't Congressman Grayson call Scoble an "S Valley Whore"? I think he should apologize. - Dawn
i hate politicians etc so yeah he need to apoligize - ffcode
Robert: (I am obviously biased here). it is great that you are following 11,000 things in Twitter and that makes you special and I think that some of the issues you are raising are valid. Where I think your argument breaks down is where you think that soon a lot of people will follow thousand of things in their aggregator and therefore twitter is a better solution than Google Reader.... more... - Edwin Khodabakchian
So Edwin - Is there an issue with feedly pulling the shared items from specific people you are following? I can hardly get any to come across. - Amani

I would have given her my iPhone :-P - Jesse Stay
Trust me, she had it plenty, Jesse. I had simply taken it back. :) - Louis Gray
Tell her she can have my iPhone - Jesse Stay
Just don't tell JJ - Jesse Stay
If it wasn't the phone, I'd be the remote. Still cute! - Eric @ CS Techcast from iPhone
sarah is upset because after reading her favorite blog, she is upset that dad has an iphone and not the clearly better droid. - Allen Stern
ahaha the next step will be "register me a domain" :D - Roberto
++Allen/Roberto hehe nice thread completion there. 3rd photo's my fave. 87j - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
The 3rd photo is her looking to her mother for a little help and not getting it. - Louis Gray
Jesse, if I'd known it was that easy to get a free iPhone offa you: WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! - Spidra Webster
Dissatisfied with the Shuffle already? - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Spidra, sorry, it only works on Sarah :-) - Jesse Stay
I looked for a nice iPhoney suitable for someone her age, but the closest I could come was a plush dog toy and I know that just won't cut it. http://www.teacupspuppies.com/dogtoy1... - April Russo (app103)

Tonight, my favorite e-mails have been from @neenerbot. In about a week, you will learn why. She's very creative. :)
I can guess! :-) - Jesse Stay
You'd be wrong, Jesse. - Louis Gray
Animal, mineral or vegetable? - Johnny Worthington
Is it bigger than a bread box? - WorldofHiglet
Mineral. Smaller than a bread box. - Louis Gray
Is it another meaning for a word that means to be without movement? - Johnny Worthington
Is it something that used to be the height of fashion on cars? - WorldofHiglet

Re: Can Twitter users link out? (Scripting News) - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
"After auto-following way too many people, as Robert did, my tweet stream is a mess. The biggest offenders were those who used "from API" or "from Twitterfeed", to send automated tweets with no personal updates. I'm using the same tool that followed these folks to unfollow them, filtering on source, and it is cleaning the stream. One of the determinations for Twitter to determine spammy behavior is links to non-links ratio, but it shouldn't be the sole reason for closure. They should, if possible, be reviewed." - Louis Gray
Re: Can Twitter users link out? (Scripting News) - http://www.scripting.com/stories...
"Or the accounts @scoblefaves and @lgshareditems? 100% links. I wrote about this back in September. (http://blog.louisgray.com/2009......) I understand what Twitter is trying to do, but being a false positive is such a mistake." - Louis Gray
Paul Buchheit on the reason FriendFeed sold to Facebook: "The opportunity at Facebook is very substantial."
"The biggest component is the question - what is the value of Facebook? It is a very successful company and is going to get more so in the future. There is a lot of opportunity in the social and realtime. Facebook is in a unique position that will prove to be very lucrative." - Louis Gray
Interesting... - WorldofHiglet
All about the Benjamins? - Brian Sullivan
Nothing wrong with pursuing the Benjamins -- that's what creative capitalism is all about. Friendfeed's founders probably couldn't have picked a better moment to sell the company for the price it did. - Sean McBride
I still want it to stay right here .... Period. - Charlie Anzman
Paul is smart :) - Susan Beebe
Hmmmm, if we assume there is a golden handcuff situation going on, how long until Paul departs and uses the funds to build FriendFeedHD XL Ultimate Edition? - EricaJoy
I like where you're going with this, Erica! - Laura Norvig
+100 Erica. - Adam Helweh

Re: My approach to social media - Adam Lasnik - http://www.adamlasnik.net/me...
"Adam, we're pretty closely aligned on this one. No big surprise. I use Twitter because I can reach folks who choose to use it, not necessarily because I love it or have a good user experience. It would be as foolish to not use Twitter as it would be to avoid e-mail at this point. FriendFeed has the best user experience, period, and it's unfortunate we may never see the site reach its true potential. I don't use Foursquare or Yelp or Orkut, or MySpace, either. And just where is your bloody RSS tag? How am I supposed to subscribe to this stuff?" - Louis Gray
This morning, I had a client meeting in Los Altos, where a group was watching the Harvard/Yale game. Quite the Ivy League crowd. Amusing. :)
One sweatshirt, on the front, read "HARVARD SUCKS". The back said, "AND PRINCETON DOESN'T MATTER". Yale fan. - Louis Gray
Still the best college prank ever. http://www.harvardsucks.org/Watch-t... - Eric Logan
Nice, Eric. :) - Louis Gray

Why Are Tech Layoffs Rising in a Recovery? - http://gigaom.com/2009...

Remember, things got a little better before they got a lot worse during the great depression. Don't believe it's over just because the media says so. They said it before and were wrong then, why not wrong again? (at the start of the "suckers rally" in 1930, the media declared the depression over) - April Russo (app103)
