An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

iTunes, Sirius Seem Antiquated After Spotify iPhone Trial - http://blog.louisgray.com/2009...

What's Spotify's business model? Are they putting ads in between streamed songs?
- Mitchell McKenna
Mitchell, they have a premium service.

How will you handle your large library since it will not all fit on the iphone? Just playlists? how will you discover new music if you just use Spotify and no XM/Sirrius radio?
- Amani
I'm not a fan of "choose your own" type radio. This is why I tend to avoid Pandora in favor of Slacker on my iPhone. If I want to choose my own music, well, that's why I have 80+ gigs of MP3's, is it not? And Spotify strikes me as basically identical to Rhapsody, except Rhapsody you can get right now.
- Otto
Otto, that has historically been my viewpoint as well. But I can't lug 80 GB of iTunes on the iPhone, so I don't really have access to all that music. Spotify lets me get the music I want, when I want, wherever I want, with great sound quality.
- Louis Gray
Wherever you want, IF you BUY the premium version, otherwise it will be like me: appreciated the service but everything stopped after I've changed of country of living... No possible anymore, so, back to iTunes.

By the same logic, if you compare FriendFeed and Orkut on Alexa (http://www.alexa.com/siteinf...), Orkut is much more popular. Why is Orkut then proclaimed already dead?

Well, FF is probably the best of the last round of linear conversation and aggregation tools, largely thanks to the lack of overhead and fluff (the users contribute plenty). Whether you use it in a bare-bones, flat way -- or have mastered an elaborate orchestration of API hooks and fiddlizations -- there is plenty of value to be had in the way FF handles its business and lets the user handle theirs.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
This matches my observations as well and is a major reason why I've spent less time here. Chris: the problem is that most people tell me that Facebook has enough conversations for them. One of Zuckerberg's items a week ago had many thousands of comments.

Compete is about as wrong as Alexa was in the old days. Seriously, I have numerous benchmarks where I *know* the traffic and Compete is often off by serious margins. Instead, I'd use Quantcast which shows a major drop off in September, but with the bottom falling out the numbers have started to trend back up again. http://www.quantcast.com/friendf...

I agree only Quantcast is accurate-ish.

@Thomas: Yes, I'm not saying Quantcast is always right, but it's usually more right than the others.

Alexa is a relative measure it's relatively right http://www.alexa.com/siteinf... the top sites look right-ish to me http://www.alexa.com/topsites when compared to Quantcast http://www.quantcast.com/top-sit...
- Thomas Power
Thomas, that looks pretty up and to the right to me, in a long-term sense. It's fun to look at the short-term, but we're seeing no sense on a long-term scale of FriendFeed losing traffic. Great point on the Alexa and Quantcast (assuming we even need traffic graphs to keep us on here)
- Jesse Stay
Thx J x
- Thomas Power
@Robert, I'll never argue that Facebook isn't more popular. All the cute that it offers (which isn't nearly as bad as it could be) seems to make it approachable enough to a much wider audience than a tool like FF. I get that you can filter out the fluff and minimize the Facebookishness of it, but then you're stuck with their interface and color scheme (unless I'm missing something). I guess I really see them as being different corners at the same party.

To get a good experience, friendfeed has always required you to put in a lot of time. So many active users comment on a thread and Hide it when they no longer have anything to say, if you come by a few hours later to comment you're just talking to a wall. friendfeed has never been very rewarding for casual use, in my experience, and that is doubly true now.

"Q: Why doesn’t Compete’s estimate of site visitors match my local analytics (e.g. Google Analytics, Omniture)? ... A: ... Compete measures only US activity." -- http://www.compete.com/resourc..., while the Alexa chart Jesse posted in his thread showing up-and-to-the-right growth reflects global activity. There's no real disconnect between the two charts. Which one you think matters more probably depends on what argument you're trying to support.

...still here. Still like it. Still find it useful on many levels. The thing about FF is that even at its peak, its traffic and usage wasn't even in the same league as Facebook, Twitter, or even MySpace in steep decline. The raw user numbers never (or should I say, optimistically, haven't) reached any kind of critical mass. Outside of the early-adopter and sophisticated info junkie/informavore crowds, Friendfeed, just isn't that relevant.

How many people here use FF for work / project dev - or do you use it for just link sharing with friends?
- zeroinfluencer
@zeroinfluencer I use it for conversations, along shared links and not necessarily bound for them. I can't discuss my work in public at all, apart from very generic details, hence question about using it for work/project _is_ irrelevant for me. But rest is just goes here - twitter is very far behind friendfeed for me. And facebook complements friendfeed pushing it even further.

@AT @Jessy - I use FF a lot for project dev with distributed teams - the mix of chat and sharing in private groups has proved amazing. Even team members who have never used FF before have been going "wow" why the hell haven't we used this before?

To my point - FF has not really been presented as more than a Twitter style app - it's far more than that IMHO. It's a swiss army knife for the web.

Do you use any of the three Wayne?

nope, have tried only one of them

Any application that helps you with your inbox has to be one of your top priorities. I am waiting to see if Google wave is the app of choice.
- Bill Masson
Actually, Threadsy is pretty impressive, I just forgot about it. LOL. My initial write-up on it is here http://j.mp/5JExhj - They add list support for Twitter and it would be infinitely more useful.

Is it still true you can't compose a new email and decide which email addy it comes from?

A lot of good ones this week... The Lives of Others, The Third Man,... It Happened One Night is definitely a must-see. I'm not that into Clark Gable, but I do like Capra and this is one of his best. Adding The Big Heat to my Fritz Lang marathon queue. North By Northwest I'm getting on Blu-ray, it's one of my favorite '50s Hitchcocks and is supposed to be an excellent transfer.
- LogEx
I really want that North by Northwest Blu-ray, LogEx. Let me know how amazing it looks so I can pine for it more. :)

Just figured-out the Lists function in the new Tweetdeck--Now, lists are all gone--sorry everyone. I broke it.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
How do you sync your old tweetdeck groups and make them lists?
- Amani
Amani--when you DL new version of TweetDeck included are video tutorials on how to do that.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Hmmm ... so now when we add people to lists while using Tweetdeck, do we do it within Tweetdeck or the web version?
- Amani
Both/ either
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
like magic
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
there is no sync--tweetdeck is adding to twitter's lists directly.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Wow - it did work like magic.Thanks. How do we add our geo-location?

True, Holden. I try to use my fake voice. :) (You haven't heard the voice-overs on the twin videos?)
- Louis Gray
why is LazyFeed invite only?
- Damir Zubović
Damir, LazyFeed is invite only because I am not in charge. Ethan and Claire know I would like to open it up to everyone.
- Louis Gray
Tnx for info. Greetings from Slovenia.

Your password's too short :-P

the word "password" is too short?

Louis, yes.

BTW, what screen capture software are you using?
- Jesse Stay
I hand-coded my own screen capture software using a derivative of Objective C, mixed with .Net and AJAX, Jesse.
- Louis Gray
Louis, I need an iPhone app then - will you build me one?
- Jesse Stay
but seriously, what screen capture software did you use to make that?
- Jesse Stay
Snapz Pro X: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utiliti...
- Louis Gray
Very nice - thank you sir.

More video demos == good, btw

Hi Louis Thanks for the heads up about Lazyfeed. I have tried to register but it needs an invitation code. Can you or anyone in your network please let me know what I should put in? Thanks
- Jane Finch
Very well done, I now have a better understanding of how it works. Anymore invites? Thanks
- Mo Hall
why doesn't Lazyfeed have a feed for FF?
- Thomas Power
Thomas, Lazyfeed's founders are just now getting to understand FriendFeed better. Maybe with time.
- Louis Gray
cool thank you
- Thomas Power
LazyFeed looks great.! Thanks for this video Louis, super interesting (I like your fast pace too). Would love an invite if you have 1.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Hi, thanks everyone for your interest in Lazyfeed. We are excited to tell you that we will be releasing more invite codes via Twitter today. To receive your invite, please follow @lazyfeed on twitter and we will DM you an invite code. This invitation will expire midnight PST. Thank you!
- Lazyfeed
I will have to check this out. I admit that the point of it was not immediately obvious the first few times I used it.
- Bill Kinney
Louis, thanks for this wonderful quick tutorial. I am off to experimenting with Lazyfeed now. I wonder how you use it in conjunction with GReader, since I also find you sharing lot of stuff on GReader as well.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Awesome demo, finally got a chance to watch it.
- Bill Kinney
Love lazyfeed so far, but it won't connect with my Twitter acct even after I set up and click connect - only Flicr, etc..Anyone else have this issue.
- Liza
Liza - I've just tried connecting your twitter to my lazyfeed and it seems to be successfully bringing tags like lazyweb, trip, techkaraoke, etc. Please try again. Thanks.
- Ethan Gahng
Now that is GREAT customer service, Ethan. Thanks.. I want to learn more about lazyweb and ppl interacting from lazyfeed. Seeing it from my google dev friends. Any ideas?

Very nice video here. I will use this to share with all my people. Thanks Louis.
