Twitter's response: http://twitter.com/dougw... and http://twitter.com/al3x... (at least that's what I think the last one is about).I replied to @dougw: What they're really saying is "i don't know about this OR i don't understand this OR i don't need this." hence the @techcrunch piece. maybe "i don't understand this" is a good reason for taking the feature away (i disagree), but that is @jasonkincaid's point, no?

They should just have left it the way it was: let the user decide if he wants to view those @s or not. There is no need to be "considering alternatives".
- Antoniu
Robert I just posted on my blog about this http://bit.ly/NbBFs ... I agree it probably helps friendfeed but I would like to see Twitter handle this snafu with a little more grace than facebook has handled similar situations.

321 has a good point. This feature wasn't broke to begin with. They gave users the choice to change the @reply options and explained it well when you tried to figure it out.

321 hit is on the head... maybe he should change is name to 123 cause of how simple of a solution that would have been for the boys down and Twitterless. And where were they getting their data from that this was something users desired? I can't see too many people other than the really fickle or those that don't "get" twitter needing to remove replies?! Perfect push I needed to come to the friendlier feeds :)

I agree, when I saw that I hopped over to FF again, when you take away flexibility you take away a certain demographic uses the service. I have found more interesting people through replies then really anything else

Steve the way Twitter has handled communication about what they did is pathetic and that may ultimately be they're biggest failing.
- Debi Jones
they display replies to YOU, but if your friend (i.e. Scoble, either one) replies to someone you are not following (friend-of-friend) then you won't see THAT reply.
- Justin Long
completely eliminates social discovery. its like going to a party and unless your friends with both people, not being able to hear any of the conversations. your friend's talking to someone you don't know and you can't hear... its like being blind to every conversation. Ridiculous!
- Justin Long
The number of new subscribers I've received on FF has exploded over the last 24 hours. People may be voting with more than their complaints and hashtags. Twitter could redeem itself by leap-frogging @replies and bringing back a more powerful discovery tool and that is of course - TRACK
- Debi Jones
ha i tried "track" only to have it twittered instead of an active command. i wondered what had happened to it.
- Justin Long
@scobleizer is there any way you can convince the friendfeed guys to create a simple replies feature (so I know when someone replies to a post) and/or threading (which I realize is significantly more complex than a simple reply view). This is a huge part of why people use and stick with Twitter. I doubt the shortcode/SMS is still a major factor.
- Jason Nunnelley
imho, threading is the way to go. Just like Jaiku does it and has always done it. Dunno why this is still missing from FF. And please don't bash Leo, Jaiku has been better made than Twitter, more features (but all made sense, no useless crap) and the threading. It just worked, and there was nothing big missing UI/UX-wise. Until google decided it doesn't care about microblogging, that is.

Conor, I don't see why not. I have my work exchange server and my mobileme account (along with Yahoo, Gmail (email)) all on the same iphone and it all works great. I just wish I could add a second exchange account for Google.

Worked for me on my Windows Mobile, but I couldn't sync my calendar, as i'm already syncing elsewhere!
- Les Zaldor
Thanks. Do you think a one-time sync to get Google in line with MobileMe is going to be enough? I'm concerned about one overwriting the other.
- Conor Ogle
Google sync uses ActiveSync in Windows Mobile. This means I can't sync to both it and my work exchange server... such a bummer.
- Alan Le
Conor, MobileMe and Exchange Activesync are kept completely separate on the iPhone. No data crossover at all.
- Paul Wade
I like the thought, but I won't put it to use. I don't want my personal stuff, mixing with my work stuff anymore... Maybe another time, remember it's beta, but we all know google will keep it beta for like 2 years (i.e. gmail still beta) lol

Working here, fantastic - been waiting for this for a while. If you have multiple Google Calendars make sure to visit m.google.com/sync on the phone (not on the computer) and select the additional calendars you want to sync.

I've had this for some time now using nuevasync.com... but, now I can sync directly to google, and remove nuevasync from the equation. nice.
- Neil Bernhart
This is a major game changer IMO. Why would any small business owner want Blackberry or Exchange servers at this point? GMail allows you to park a domain & gives you 7+ gigs for free. With OTA sync, you get the Blackberry-esque features, also for free. If I have 10-50 employees, I have the choice of hosting multiple servers onsite with multiple moving parts along with purchasing CALs, HW & SW maintenance, and dealing with never-ending storage needs. Or, I could let someone else do it for little to no cost.

Is this one of those things that doesn't work with Google Apps for your domain? It doesn't seem to want to work for me.
- Ryan Anderson
@Peter, if I was a small business owner, one thing that I'd consider is the security. Google Apps doesn't give you any ability to manage the device. Both BES and Exchange allow you to remotely kill or hobble a device as well as push custom apps and security policies. You can get BES free for less than 10 devices or go to hosted Exchange/BES. Sure it costs you money, but businesses should be concerned about where all that data is going and being stored.
- Kenton
@Ryan and Matt: It DOES work on hosted domains. You need to login to your Google Apps admin control panel and enable sync.
- Peter Ghosh
I think for individuals and small businesses this is going to be killer in which data security and device management can be a bit more lenient. I wish just sucks I'm stuck with Exchange already at work.
- Brian Bufalo
@Kenton - Good take on security. Given that this is using Activesync, I think the Google Apps-enabled kill switch is imminent (ActiveSync via Exchange has kill switch features). The fact that the domain's Google Apps admin has to enable sync'ing in the first place is a good start.

Wallace, thanks for correcting me. I wasn't able to see my shared calendars, but after your comment I thought about it. My shared cals are from a Google Apps account and our admin likely hasn't enabled it for that one. Thanks!

I've been using the version for BlackBerrys for a couple of months or so, but turned it off the other day as it kept retracting my appointments during syncs leaving me with an empty calendar and missed appointments! Not sure what was happening there, and it's hard to tell if there's a newer release for the BBs that's come out now too.

Sounds like a good idea but I can't get it set up. Keep getting "exchange account validation failed" but no clues as to what failed. Are there any restrictions on usage outside the US?

- Frank S.
Works perfectly for me. Now I can stop using nuevasync...
- Jorg Jansen
Well, If you are using and depending on /or can't get around another service, e.g. an Exchange server, in your cross sync calendar and contacts mix Google Sync is most likely not going to do much for you. Las time I checked, Google Sync assumes the dominant position and does not let you specify any sync conditions you'd might come to expect from other syncing apps. E.g. syncing contacts to and from your Google account not optional. I'd like to be able to tell Google how and what I'd like to sync, though.
- Vidar Andersen
If apple would simply support CalDav on the iPhone this would be a moot point. I can have iCal attached to Google Calendar and working off-line... but not the calendars on my iPhone. I don't get it...

I wonder if using ActiveSync has any implications for Verizon users who have the $30/mo data plan for "Web Mail/Web Browsing", vs the $45/mo plan which is for "Syncing of Calendars/Tasks/Email/Web Browsing"? Could they be doing any packet capture by protocol?

- tommy payne
from twhirl
NO, it doesn't work great. It has all the same problems with any other Exchange Sync. Your phone is "slaved" to the "exchange" - once that happens - no other contacts, no other calendars (with Google Apps you only get 1 calendar). The limitations of this pretty much out-weigh the up-side.
- Brian Roy
This is very tempting, except just this morning I was thinking that I need to start extracting myself from excessive dependence on the Google. I guess I could use this if I can figure out some other Google service to jettison.
- Erik S
I've been using Neuvasync for the past 9 or 10 months. It's a free Exchange service that interfaces with your Google calendar and contact store. It worked extremely well providing near real-time OTA synch between my iPhone, Outlook (with a Google account) and the web. I've now switched over to Google's Exchange service. Since Google was already hosting my contacts and calendar there was...

I've noticed that if you setup Google Sync with your iPhone and have the OS X Address Book set to sync with Google, it appears the latter no longer happens. While OTA updates seem to work flawlessly between Google Contacts and the iPhone, if you intend to keep the Address Book in sync with the other 2 then something is in need of fixing.
- Scott Jarkoff
ilike :) works so far
- videopixil
How is this handling fields that Google doesn't have in Gmail, i.e. birthdays? I'm a little hesitant to just sync contacts specifically, because Gmail doesn't have the number of related fields that the iPhone or the Address Book app does.
- Aakar Shroff
its not new though... its existed on the blackberry for a loong time (and has been working quite well for me)... is the "new" just the version for the iPhone or am i missing something?

Currently Google Sync only supports Contacts for my Nokia N95 Too bad I use GooSync now for my calendar, but it only updates a couple of weeks ahead. Wish Plaxo had 2 way sync with Google Contacts. And that I could use any address book in gmail.

Took a while to get this up and running well, but I've decided to forgo access to my work email/calendar to have my Google Calendar on my phone.
- Bill Glover
I have never been a big fan of Google's contacts system. If contact photos (which I use in my iPhone for caller ID) don't get synced they way Outlook does it, I won't bother. Google needs to overhaul the whole UI and feature set of it's contacts system. Right now it is probably the worst of all the main webmail services.
- Rolf Schewe

- Richard Binhammer
from twhirl
I have a question for anyone who's used this so far. What happens with conflicts? How does it determine if a contact is the same and which one wins the conflict? Can this be set? It would be nice if the phone wins for phone number conflicts and Google wins for email address conflicts (possibly address, too), but that's a pipe dream, I guess.
- Chieze Okoye
Also, what happens with contact images? I don't want to overwrite the ones already on my phone but it would be nice to have some pulled from GChat for the rest of my contacts that don't have them set already (so I guess I would like phone to win contact image conflicts)
- Chieze Okoye
D'oh! only the main calendar on WinMob! Sucks! Oh well, guess I won't be using it now. Switching to Nuevasync, I guess.
