Not a fan of sites with Flash intro... plus it does not display on phones.
- David Lanning
DO NOT WANT. In my opinion, Flash should only be used for things like YouTube.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
NO, but if you insist don't make it autoplay (for those who have bandwidth limits or additional charges) and DO let us SKIP it. Have you seen my post "The Serious Drawbacks to Using FLASH for Web Design: Usability, SEO, Editability" at http://www.growmap.com/flash/ ? If you're going to use Flash you REALLY need to know the pros and cons!

I signed up, but when I try to associate my Twitter account with it, I just get "error." LOL FAIL

Oh Tad, is there no service you can't break? Try again. :)
- Louis Gray
@Tad we've just tried it and it works. Please retry. Thanks!
- Ethan Gahng
Ethan, I'm trying to hook it up with my twitter account: "tad" It still doesn't work. Are you expecting more letters? I don't get a descriptive error, just the word "Error"

@tad hmm.. I typed in "tad" and it connects fine, and delivers all the hashtags from your twitter(like freakyfriday, tad, android, etc.). we will look to see what exactly is happening with your case and let you know. Please hold on. Thanks.

Stuart - here's the quick deal. 1) An RSS reader follows feeds you have selected. 2) Twitter and FriendFeed follow people you have selected. 3) Lazyfeed follows topics you have selected. Lazyfeed beats an RSS feed reader for finding new blog sources. Lazyfeed beats Twitter and FriendFeed on finding topical information. It's a great discovery engine.
- Louis Gray
Thanks a bunch, Louis. Appreciate it.

Louis: Tried with another PC and still not working for me. Gives me an invalid code error. I've entered it as both "#meganfox" and "meganfox".
- JR Holmes
@JR We've tried and it seems to be working fine. Please retry. Thanks!

how can i get anything (anything at all!) in the long, column shaped box on the left hand side of the screen? there is a wee box that says "paused", but i can't get anything else to happen there. can the boxes be moved? i don't like the "hot topics" at the top.

Kelly, above that is a home navigation bar that says "Enter a word of your interest". Put something in there and click go. Then you can see related items and it should grow from there. Click the Add button to put one in the left bar.
- Louis Gray
kelly - there's an "add" button at the top of each topic's page. Click on it and it will move the topic into the left column. Also, the update "pauses" whenever you hover your mouse over that area. You can also hide "hot topics" by clicking on a gray tab attached just below the hot topics box.

Vinko - it should work. please go to www.lazyfeed.com and retry.
- Ethan Gahng
Ethan, yes some others are also able to sign up with #meganfox but for some reason I keep receiving "Invitation code is invalid.(1)"
- Vinko
PS: Ethan, I tried it with Safari 4.0.2 and Firefox 3.5
- Vinko
Vinko - it seems that you are entering #meganfox from www.lazyfeed.com/signup. This is not the page. Please go to www.lazyfeed.com
- Ethan Gahng
Ethan and Niels, thanks. I'm not sure why I went to Sign Up right away and not see the Home page as the place to enter #meganfox. Is this a UX problem? Or just me?
- Vinko
Thanks Louis! I've added a bunch of topics and I'm getting interesting results so far. The only services I've added are twitter and del.icio.us. So, where are all the related stories coming from? I'm not complaining; just curious.
- Michael Fidler
gee, and after only a few hundred ...
- Joel Bennett
Yes, all gone. Thanks for the support guys! and Thank you Louis. Those who didn't get in this time: Please follow @lazyfeed and we'll let you know when there's next release.
