what is this twitter AIR app #1000 :) those things things mate more the bunnies!
- (jeff)isageek
Now, now, Jeff. I mentioned in the article that I typically prefer native apps or Web apps to AIR apps, but this one is very interesting, at least to me. I dig it.
- Louis Gray
im just trying to be funny...hehe good post btw.
- (jeff)isageek
Wow, twhirlscope down -- gotta try this out
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
ah! and I was wondering why my twitter vanity search hit on that topic as I do not like the air apps. but grouping actually would be a reason to try it out. problem: as long as twitter decimates the request rates it is unreliable, but a first step in the right direction. will download it now ;)
- Nicole Simon
Louis, I think you're right - there is still innovation happening around Twitter, fortunately. The fact is there is still a huge audience on Twitter and that audience still has the potential to be monetized. I'm even building something around Twitter at the moment. There is still that threat though, that developers could leave if Twitter keeps neglecting them - it's in the back of the mind
- Jesse Stay
"feels" like Twhirl. Wish it had FF support...if it does it wasn't obvious from the website. I agree with others that I'd really like to see these Adobe air apps with some better skins

"Now, now, Jeff. I mentioned in the article that I typically prefer native apps or Web apps to AIR apps, but this one is very interesting, at least to me." - That's part of why I like the platform so much. Most people like native apps but AIR apps are pretty easy to build so there's bound to be a few that people really like. (Ryan - rstewart@adobe.com)

Nathan, look at the facts. FriendFeed has, what, eight employees? The latest one to join was Gary Burd. His team at Google did Google Talk and he was the guy who opened Google's Kirkland office. How about Bret Taylor? During his four years at Google, he led more than 25 successful product launches, including Google Maps, Google Local, Google Web Toolkit, the Google Maps API, and Google’s Developer product group. more next...

Paul Buchheit? He was the creator and lead developer of Gmail, which anticipated many aspects of Web 2.0, including the idea of Ajax, long before that term was coined. He developed the original prototype of Google AdSense as part of his work on Gmail. He also suggested the company's now-famous motto "Don't be evil" in a 2001 meeting on company values.

I'm not sure I can get behind the idea of owning every single word I post into other sites' comment boxes. I don't want to be misrepresented, but I'm not going to turn around and claim that I deserve royalties when someone reprints my FriendFeed comments.

this was the first thing i thought of when i saw Backtype. i was like a business model off of scraping content, isn't that just a splog of comments?

When I post something on the web, I want my voice to be heard by as much people as possible. (Maybe that's because I am a PR guy with journalistic background.) If BackType facilitates this, I'm fine with it. Content ownership is nothing I really care about.

- Edwin Khodabakchian
Ooh, I just looked at its features... sounds interesting! Will give it a try later! :D
- BeeLing
Yeah, i gave it another try last week and definitely impressive - but a couple of important glitches & bugs to fix
- Zee.
Edwin: there's no way to share the items I'm seeing, is there? That's a HUGE reason why I use Google Reader (so I can share items and get them into FriendFeed).
- Robert Scoble
Zee: it would be great if you could let us know what problem you ran into so that we can try to address them: http://www.getsatisfaction.com/feedly thanks.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@Robert If you just click on 'Recommend' that's what they're calling 'sharing'.
- Zee.
Oh, I have to click on each item to recommend it? That's lame. I should be able to recommend an item right from the home page without having to click twice, just like here in FriendFeed.
- Robert Scoble
it amazing!
- Svartling
@Edwin sure, will do. Mainly just sometimes posts don't load and j/k to scroll down will occasionally miss a post or not go all the way to the bottom of the page. When I select "unread only", often it still shows posts I have read. The two most frustrating things: I can't tell easily which categories have unread posts in and finally - I was really excited by the river view because I heard you could view by categories from that page - which is unfortunately isn't the case...
- Zee.
If the sources could be arranged into categories like they would be in google reader, that would be a big plus.
- Zee.
@Robert - yeah, you need to click 'more' on the homepage view to get the option to recommend. They could easily fix this with a 'thumbs up' button permanently next to the post titles though
- Zee.
I really want to like the app, so I'm hoping they really keep working hard on it & hopefully make it more than just a firefox extension & also create some way to have the same kind of facility on the iphone.
- Zee.
just use the google reader shortcuts to use it. Alt+s to share.
- Svartling
you Can also choose the river of news view an easily go through feeds with the keyboard
- Svartling
the keys J and K to go up and down and Alt+s to share. Just like in google reader
- Svartling
robert: recommend will add the item to your shared feed. as mentioned by svartling, you should be able to use the GR keyboard shortcuts (they works specially well in the river view - second icon on the top). The part that is missing is "share with notes". Which should be there next week when we merge the concept of feedly annotations and GR annotations.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Edwin: wow that sounds cool! Merging annotations with GR notes i mean.
- Svartling
Zee: thanks for the feedback. Created a ticket on get satisfaction to track down and fix those issues http://getsatisfaction.com/feedly...
- Edwin Khodabakchian
robert: when you sent us your OPML a few months ago for performance testing, you had just two categories (normal and favorites if I remember). Do you have more now?
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Edwin: nope, I still have the same.
- Robert Scoble
ok. so the magazine view is probably not adding too much value in your case. The new wall which will go out next week has some of the things you have been asking for a long time: compression of multiple recommendations, filtering based on min number of recommendations, etc..(http://www.flickr.com/photos...) That and the current friendfeed and google search integration might be places were we can create value for a user like you. Does Maryam read RSS feeds? (she is more of our target!)
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Edwin, I have no doubt you've thought this through a thousand times - but since you need to a) use firefox and then b) install an extension to use feedly....Do you not think it's going to be super-difficult to try & reach the non-geeks out there who aren't passionate users of google reader? "Most" non-geeks I know hardly ever install firefox extensions, let alone install firefox...they just use whatevers open or put it front of them
- Zee.
Zee.You are right about firefox. But the extension installation process is getting simpler and people through iphone, facebook and firefox are getting used to the concept of "installing an application". Stumbleupon is a good example. The feedback we have collected so far is that our problem currently with more mainstream user is not the add-on but the first configuration experience and the need to further simplify the UI. We have a parallel project called "feedly mini" to try to cracks those two nuts.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Edwin, awesome. Yeah, I didn't mean to sound like I was giving you pointers on a business I'm sure you're thinking about day & night....I just wanted to give my two pennies & also say that us geeks really love the product too, so don't forget about us! :)
- Zee.
I've been using it exclusively for a week now. With the FF integration, I don't think I could go back to the gReader interface.

from twhirl
I am definitely enjoying my current switch from GR to Feedly. I like the fact i came accross Scobles twitter in Friend Feed because i was reading an article through feedly and ended up here as a result and discovered this. I enjoy loading up Feedly at lunch time to browse aimlessly, and i struggle to do that with Google Reader as i feel i have to stick to one subscription at a time and i end up getting put off. I dont feel overwhelmed when i use feedly.
- Rowan Evenstar
is there a feedly for the iPhone?
- Colide81 (James)
Embarassed to say I downloaded and signed up a few months ago but have been too busy to use it.
- Sally Church
Edwin, many people are still on Firefox 2 for obvious reasons. Isnt there a version for it as well?
- Hayk H.
There is no feedly for iphone. But because feedly syncs in real-time with google reader, you can use/continue to use Google Reader on the iphone and it will just work!
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Hayk: It was a hard decision but we really needed the extra security of windows.postMessage to mash services together more securely. Hopefully by the time feedly gets out of beta, more users have upgraded to firefox 3 (which is an *great* upgrade) and this will slowly become a non-issue. In the meantime , we are sorry to not be able to be more help.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I'd really like to try this out, but for whatever reason I live in IE mostly. Yes, I have Firefox installed, but I'm unlikely to start it just for Feedly... Switching completely to Firefox is not an option for me here. I'll give it a whirl, but until this can be done in IE as well, the market is limited to tech savy people... though that might be enough.
- Matt Wollnik
Matt: we are a small team and decided to focus on firefox first to increase our chances of building something people like. Once we have a winning recipe we will look at porting it to other browsers.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Note to Robert: If you end up wanting to rollback some of the shared feeds feedly might have imported into your google reader account, simply go to http://www.feedly.com/feedly#... There is an automated way to undo all the changes.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
what do you think of the keyboard shortcuts?
- Örjan Lundberg
Mixed reaction on Feedly here. I go to the river mode in Feedly and see all kinds of useful looking activity but when I click on the orange button in the FF toolbar I see a mostly blank screen with message: "This page is empty. Please connect your feedly to a set of sources and a set of social connections first. " -- this needs to go away. How to start at the wall or other mode instead of this empty placeholder page?
- TDavid
Did not appreciate the hijacking of my reader. I do use it and finding I use it more than my reader at this time.
- Admiral70
TDavid: Can you please open a bug with a screenshot and url of the page with the "page is empty" message and we will try to help address the problem. http://www.getsatisfaction.com/feedly
- Edwin Khodabakchian
@Edwin - no thanks, it doesn't seem like something I'd use anyway. I took time to describe the bug for you here, that's your bug report. Copy and paste, mon :)
- TDavid
TDavid: the reason I asked for the screenshot is because it would have allowed us to understand if you have sources defined but all of them are read or if an error happened during the welcome process or if there is somehow a problem fetching the content. Re the wall. In the more (at the top right) > preferences there is an option to change the start page.

- Jesse Stay
@Edwin - thank you for the uninstall link. Done.
- TDavid
Feedly looks cool but becomes simply too difficult to navigate IMO. The navigation just isn't great for a lot of feeds.
- Brandon Titus
Brandon: have you tried the latest river view? It was designed to help simplify the navigation for people who read a lot of feeds. It would be interesting to know if in your view, river + the ability to inline an article inline address par of the navigation issue you are raisin.

Matthew, I would disagree with your statement. What NIN and Radiohead did with their online free/premium releases shows that many people are willing to pay for music when given interesting choices. However, if the industry ignores this, then you are completely right.
- Rob Diana
Radiohead and NIN grandfathered into the system based on success carved out whilst using the old system. So, great for them that they're able to offer fans options, but their success doesn't necessarily translate. Furthermore, these examples are a success because fans ultimately paid for the product. So, I stand by my statement, if no one pays, then the music industry is dead.
- stretta
from twhirl
Rob - The Radiohead experiment was pretty much a failure. It was estimated that 62% of people didn't pay for the album. Those who did pay (I was one of them), paid an average of $6 worldwide. When you average it all out they ended up getting $2.26.
- Jim McCusker
industry might be dead soon, at least as we know it, but music for sure won't
- Tibor Holoda
I was just thinking, the recording industry is going down, one way or another. We should just help it along somehow. A caomplete halt on buying music aint gonna fly. Just wish I could think of something. Apple going completely DRM-free is a possibility.

LOL Louis. I'm trying to be you. Seriously, though... this is a temporary gig. I'm helping Duncan out while he's at Gnomedex. As for the industry, they are at a juncture where they could essentially carve their own path and instead, they seem bent on self-destruction.

The tech vs. human argument has been fought since before Ford came to be. For Twitter, it comes down to that we are dealing with "social media" (which some call 'human' media), and its humans that should determine how to use a medium, not tech. What tech does is actually pretty much up to tech, as long as it doesn't interfere with natural communication.
- Vincent van Wylick
Mark, it's even less necessary with track - in fact, I'm using it religiously in Dustin's Twitter and Identica Spy Jabber client and track catches more replies to me than Twhirl because it doesn't look at the @.

Vincent, and it's that reason exactly I don't think the tech should be requiring the @ symbol. It should be up to the humans to provide the @.

I agree with your conclusion, but I come to it via a technical path... The next gen of social networks will need to start at Facebook's volume as a baseline of activity and scale exponentially from there as social networks become more mainstream. As Twitter has shown us, these 2 tier database backed architectures are simply incapable of supporting these requirements.
- Jason Carreira
I think Sweetcron, an app soon to be released here in Japan, might change this. If I'm right about what it will be, it will be the next WordPress, the next evolution in self-hosted blog platforms more attuned to the multi-channel media that we involve ourselves in these days.

What Sara wrote was more right than wrong. MT Pro has OpenID 2.0 built in, plus OAuth libraries for plugin developers. SixApart demoed their implementation of Facebook Connect, which allows a user to use their Facebook login on MT. The same should be coming for Google's OpenSocial APIs. Personally, I like the direction that MT is going in; I'd rather have a MT site with the social networking stuff than a Ning site.

You know I never really considered that the 'posted from' is actually a form of micro-advertising. Intresting...

wishing for a thing does not make it so. No harm in wishing, but stating wishes as fact seems like bad form.

I hope not, because its copyright agreement it makes people sign is horrible.

Sounds like you've got your head screwed on right & they come first - hope i'm in the same boat when I become a father.

Being a Dad rules. As a father of 4, I have learned that even a geek like me can be a hero to somebody. I am usually the one cooking the yummy meals and the kids cheer enthusiastically. Being on the computer all the time used to bug my wife as newlyweds, but now we both have our own desks and PCs and run the family and have fun online together. Great article.

Mine recently turned 6 mos and I've regained a lot of the routine and some of the leisure time that I used to take for granted before her, but that lack of morning time that you mentioned remains. I remember spending at least a good hour online before even heading to work and now I'm lucky if I get online at all before I head out. Totally worth it though. She's much cuter than my laptop.

If you have dual monitors, you can put twin 1 on the first and twin 2 on the other

that list was fun to read.. it's like a sneak peak into my future once we settle down and start our family... I especially like the point about the cell phone. I imagine that's a mistake you'd only make once!

Having kids (or kid .. in my case) ... changes your life forever. For some it's difficult. For others, it comes naturally. It goes fast (really fast!) so enjoy it. Don't miss anything! Sounds like a good healthy group here which is refreshing, Louis amazed me when he wrote one of his best blog posts ever awaiting delivery in the hospital.

Thanks @Ruth

One of the advantages of email - and to a limited extent, FriendFeed and Twitter - is that they allow for asynchronous communication, so you can contact people on your schedule. Helpful if you have (fun) interruptions in your daily life.

Ditto! I love watching my son learn, too. He is about to walk, which will be a lot of fun.

My twins are now two years old, and I can confirm everything you wrote. The first point is the strongest one and it really changes your way of doing things. :-)

Great list, could not agree more. Much holds true with just one kid as well.

Just had twins (1st august) and even in this short time couldn't agree more!

My twins are now 3 and I also confirm your article. My online time has actually increased during their TV time. I can only watch so much sprout!

This makes me slightly less nervous: we're having our first in January.

You mean first set of twins Akiva.

I laughed aloud just reading the title. "Only *10* ways twins have changed his tech & online life...?!?"

With new twins added to our two senior children, I think it's no accident I'm doing less blogging and more Twitterng. That's about the limit of my attention span.

Kids! The original disruptive technology!

Thanks for the nod Louis! You're a great addition to the world of fatherhood. It's tough getting used to the change in lifestyle, but the changes all produce a much more balanced and satisfying life. Very interesting to see how habits change so quickly, and priorities shift overnight.
