David, the rumor that Robert Scoble works for Plaxo is just that: a rumor. - John McCrea

hah! I work for all tech companies that improve my life. - Robert Scoble

They're owned by Comcast now, right, or is that just a rumor too? - nathan

All passionate customers work (voluntarily) for the companies they love, paid in innovative products, with a hallucinatory desk within the promotions dept. - Matt Harwood

Took the tour and it looked good. Seems quite similar to Facebook and Friendfeed to an extent. I know choice is a good thing but it is getting a little annoying as I don't want to be posting/checking to n amount of services. - Parvez Halim

Going to do a post on this redesign, good eyes those guys have over the road in LDN :-) - Matt Harwood

Personally I'm not a fan. Prefer the old one. - Mo Kargas

I love the new design. The old one was the main reason why I didn't visit the website frequently. - Oli Kenobi via FriendFeed MT Plugin

I love the new design as well. I think it works great and I will definitely be spending more time there. - Nick Munson

I would say the old design was way better. The song that comes to mind is : Jet - Look what you've done :) There are probably a few good things about it, like I liked the bigger thumbnails of artists in the library section and few other minor changes. But overall, probably the old design was more soothing to the eye. They should atleast get rid of the shocking red color of the header! - Ankit Ahuja via FriendFeed MT Plugin

“Adobe flash on iPhone?”

yesterday at 3:01 am - via mail2ff - Link

White Label Space, simonpure and Hao Chen liked this

Was browsing the web on my iPhone and received a popup informing me I needed a newer version of flash. A newer version? I didn't think it had flash support at all? - David Adam via mail2ff

I looked at the source code for edge.org. There is some JavaScript that pops up the confirm box if Flash isn't detected. :) - Hao Chen

Ah, so that would probably explain it :) I was a bit bewildered, and didn't click on ok for fear of somehow bricking my iPhone. - David Adam

You got my hopes up there, David! Flash on the iphone would make me love it a lot more (though I already do love it) - Matt Harwood

To be honest I haven't actually found it to be too prohibitive. The only websites I visit that use flash are flash game portals such as kongregate.com. The only other time I find myself missing it is if I want to watch video content online (which is not that often) - David Adam

Thanks all!! OK heres the deal. I'm getting the 1045 'Access Denied' error on a fresh setup, I've searched for days, I'm really feeling the heat on this one! I just can't log in to mysql at all (using root) - Matt Harwood

Matt, have you tried this? http://forum.uniformserver.com...& - AJ Batac

AJ that looks very promising - I will try it and see - thank you! - Matt Harwood

Hope it works. ;) - AJ Batac

try restarting the mysqld with --skip-grant-tables that will start it with no passwords, you should then be able to get in and reset the password. (alternately, if it was a super fresh install, did you run the script that sets up the initial mysql database? in the mysql directory it's scripts/mysql_install_db) - felix

Carla: to be honest, the sudoku app I bought is a bit rough. In other words, many puzzles cannot actually, logically, be completed. There's many to choose from though! - Matt Harwood

Probably this explains why more and more people choose online videos and maybe that's the reason for Seesmic to be created at first place? - Svetlana Gladkova

We still fill in the gaps with assumptions on what the missing communication was intended to be, but sadly this is built on personalised, localised bias and expectations. Online video helps, but all visual feedback is based on internal communication, rather than communication with the third party (the video watcher). Maybe I should put that in an easier to understand blog post...? :-) - Matt Harwood

Matt, that would have been a very interesting reading, I'm sure, looking forward to that. - Svetlana Gladkova

@Matt: Looking forward to that! - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl

Svetlana-Interesting observation on video services. I've used them but largely ignor. Do like the video mail and use of video that has some purpose rather than random chatter with camera running. Many of those are just as easily served by audio. - Mark Forman

Mark: I think I am a wrong type of communicator myself since I seem to do perfectly fine without body language - I guess this is why I hate (and almost never use) video services myself. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl

Facebook needs to buy Friendfeed.. or Friendfeed needs to buy Facebook.Whoever got the money, go for it! - Muthu Ramadoss

Further international expansion. - Andrew Feinberg

Personally hoping for jabber interoperability with facebook chat. - Matt Harwood

Why would Facebook buy FriendFeed when it can just copy all its technology? - Charles Ju

that they'll be copying FF? - Iain Baker

More design flexibility? Profile pages and page sites and groups can need more color and more individuality options. - Lars Wehmeyer

Charles: I don't think its that easy to copy FF technology. Still the users count. - Muthu Ramadoss

They're going to announce that they're going to copy the functionality of the 5 top applications (after shutting them down for a week of course) ;) - Thomas B via NoiseRiver

@Muthu Ramadoss Although I don't want to belittle FF (because it's f-ing awesome), but if you look at the new profile pages of FB, you'll notice how the first thing on everyone's page is their feed. FB sees the trend towards social feed aggregation, and I think they're going to push hard for it to go mainstream in the coming year. - Charles Ju

Wrestling match between Zuckerberg and Tom from Myspace. - Steven Rossi

@Charles: Facebook can win only if they can interoperate. They need to open up more so FF can also integrate with Facebook here. - Muthu Ramadoss

Yep, no reason you cant! - Matt Harwood

Yeah, 3rd party apps can't run in the background but some Apple ones (such as the iPod app) can! - Martin Bryant

Can those notes sync to your desktop now? (MobileMe maybe)? - Soulhuntre via twhirl

I haven't tried it but Mobile Me has a Notes sync option under System Preferences, so looks like it! - Martin Bryant

This is great to know - at the moment I use a Palm Tungsten for this - and it's surprisingly good at it. It was the one useful purpose I still carry it for. - Jonathan Beckett

yep indeed yee can - Dan Rockwell via twhirl

of course I still have to wait until September when my contract runs out before buying an iPhone... - Jonathan Beckett

Yes to both the mental capacity to multithread that task and the capacity of the iPhone to allow both notes and music to be played at the same time. - Charles Ju

evernote is an excellent note taking app which is available in the iphone store for free, has desktop and web clients and syncs to the cloud. This is the KILLER app for the iphone and ipod touch - Jonathan Denison

I think maybe it depends on how you are listening to the podcast? If you are listening using the iPod app (i.e. the podcast is in your library), yes, you can go back to the Home screen and launch something else and the podcast will continue to play. If you are listening to the podcast by clicking on a link to an MP3 in Safari, the podcast will play in a new Safari page, and going to the Home screen will close Safari and stop playing the podcast (at least prior to software 2.0). YMMV - Karim

When I used to spend all my free time swing dancing, we would make up nicknames for the "celebrity dancers." Green sweater girl, tall hat boy, surgeon girl, rocket scientist girl (Honestly! She lives in Colorado...), etc. Some of them are now my friends and we continue to call each other by these nicknames. - Lisa L. Seifert

I think this is why my best friend's mom called me "Rodney" for a decade or two. Funny yet sad. - Anthony Citrano

I just don't use names... "Hey, how's it going?" - Alan Cheslow

the worst is trying to lead someone in a conversation so they can tell you their name, but it doesn't happen and you end up more frustrated and embarrassed than when you began - Cee Bee

I've been called Richard quite a lot. I'm not so sure it's because I look like a Richard though. I think it's because my last name is Nix and people seem to think Richard Nixon. And the fact that my first name is Robert, similar to Richard, probably doesn't help. Interestingly, I seem to be easily identifiable visually too since people tend to remember me (by looks, not name) if I've been somewhere before. There's nothing really unique about me. I'm not sure why that happens. Then again, maybe it's common. - nicerobot

I get called Heather a lot, even by strangers I talk to on the phone. Frankly, it rather pisses me off. A coworker calls me HR Puffnstuff. Strangely, I tolerate that more. - Helen

Had a very drunk night in a London pub where a girl I'd met at a party a week before corrected me when I called her the wrong 'look like' name - and I vigorously (well, dopey drunk vigorously) argued the point ... - Patrick Jordan

Had the opposite experience in high school. A girl thought I looked like a Kenny, and not a Jeff, so for 4 years she called me Kenny. Funny thing no one else ever used that nick name except for her and her best friend. - Jeff P. Henderson

ALL THE TIME. I just figured I'd been dropped on my head as a child. I rarely call my husband by his first name. I think all Jasons are blonde with blue eyes. - Cyndy

Yup! weird phenomenon huh?! I hate that... just means their parents didn't name them correctly - ha, ha! - Susan Beebe

Benjamin: take it as a compliment ;-) - Matt Harwood
