Heh. Waiting for the phone call. It's already 1:02. Ralph: we usually get started at about 1:10. - Robert Scoble

well, in British English it means a convict more than it means a delay - Kevin Marks

He can't call. nobody knows your phone number. :-) - Ralph Henson

aaah. Next time I will read before clicking. Regardless I have a ticket. and for WordCamp SF. SO up there July and August - Francine Hardaway

They are connecting us now. - Robert Scoble

So, Ralph's guess of about 15-minute delay is probably accurate. ;-) - Robert Scoble

No biggie, we're used to it if we are TWiT fans. hehehehehehhehe - Stephen Pickering

I'll be on TWiT on Sunday too, but everytime I do that Gillmor says I'm fired so please don't tell him, OK? ;-) - Robert Scoble

hahahhahhahahahahahhha - Stephen Pickering

I will keep it a secret. - Francine Hardaway

bleaugh at viral loops and addiction - Kevin Marks

http://epeus.blogspot.com/2009... - Kevin Marks

+1 Kevin. I am addicted to nothing - Francine Hardaway

Francine: you are addicted to life. - Robert Scoble

That is too true - Francine Hardaway

We're gonna need Gigabit Internet before Web Centric apps become interesting and that will eventually happen but may be 10 years - Stephen Pickering

Wow. Google AdWords is advertising on this Stream - Francine Hardaway

that their customers don't want - Jerome Hughes

For instance imagine a web centric Logic where I could jam with others around the world and the experience was as good as the desktop app - Stephen Pickering

Steve's right - Francine Hardaway

HTML5 cough? I haven't seen that extension to the spec - Kevin Marks

With Apps there is less friction. For instance Photoshop is too intimidating but Instagram and Camera+ are cheap, effective, and fun! - Stephen Pickering

I bet everyone has all their bases covered just in case - Francine Hardaway

isn't Steve always right? ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

Or thinks he is - Francine Hardaway

Steve is opaque enough to be interpreted as right after the fact? - Kevin Marks

Others have said that. Oh right, like the Bible! Make him feel good - Francine Hardaway

lots more friction - Jerome Hughes

good point Robert - Tina Chase Gillmor

Nothing has ever been more frictionless than the App store - Francine Hardaway

Less frictionful? - Francine Hardaway

iOS users have more $$$ - Alex de Soto

Because "good" android apps are hard to come by. - Darren Bounds

The bottom of the pyramid is on Android? - Francine Hardaway

Google has conditioned us not to pay for stuff, Apple has conditioned us to pay for stuff. - Stephen Pickering

+1 @Stephen - Naor Mark

Google gets us to pay for stuff from people who pay them - Jerome Hughes

Thanks @Naor ! :D - Stephen Pickering

and sometimes that's much bigger stuff with higher $ - Jerome Hughes

6/30 deadline on the in-app purchase thing; grabbing links - - Denise Howell

Gray, the studio cat, is crying to get back in. Usually I banish him while we record. He doesn't lke that. - Tina Chase Gillmor

http://www.zdnet.com/blog... and http://arstechnica.com/apple... - Denise Howell

Safari is an app! heheheheh - Stephen Pickering

Safari share is shrinking - Kevin Marks

on the phone obviously its apps, but on tablet with more real estate browsing may at least be equal - Stephen Pickering

is webkit share shrinking? - Jerome Hughes

+1 Stephen - Francine Hardaway

Webkit is growing, largely due to Chrome. - Darren Bounds

Apple has the richest users... - Kevin Marks

is Apple selling Safari? - Jerome Hughes

On the iPad I use the browser more - Francine Hardaway

I do what Phil does - Francine Hardaway

The most common web browsers and browser versions today -- http://royal.pingdom.com/2011... - Darren Bounds

But what difference does it make if you are using Facebook through an app or the web? - Stephen Pickering

none - Francine Hardaway

there's more utility on the web - Jerome Hughes

in #FB, that is - Jerome Hughes

I watched all of Season 5 of Big Love on the iPad. Not with Airplay - Francine Hardaway

Adult? - Darren Bounds

I prefer watching movies on iPad to TV. I'm more engrossed in it, more intimate - Stephen Pickering

Robert watches porn on his IPad. Pass it on:-) - Francine Hardaway

Darren: R rated or higher. :-) - Robert Scoble

Kevin's natural light is getting weird - Tina Chase Gillmor

Francine, do I have to get the video for you that sings "the Internet is for porn?" - Robert Scoble

Both are growing and will continue to grow - Stephen Pickering

thanks - Tina Chase Gillmor

Breaking out my Gillmor translation device. - Darren Bounds

Is it the internet, or apps, Robert? LOL - Francine Hardaway

The advantage of the web is the Cloud, the advantage of native is speed and processing power, both have their + and - and both will continue to grow - Stephen Pickering

And then how will I watch this live without Flash? - Francine Hardaway

I carry a a big bag with me always now so I can carry my ipad always - Tina Chase Gillmor

Can't enjoy turntable without flash either - Stephen Pickering

If/when Android becomes as or more monetizable than iOS and HTML5 mobile experiences continue improve at the same rate they are now, there shouldn't be much reason to build native applications in 1-2 years. - Darren Bounds

Francine: hopefully soon. Ustream sucks and forces use of a specific workflow. Since Gillmor uses a Tricaster it is flash only. - Robert Scoble

Darren: which is why I focus mostly on distribution. - Robert Scoble

In business distribution is everything - Stephen Pickering

Exactly. Which is why apps are winning. - Robert Scoble

Or, I should say, growing faster. Websites still have Google. - Robert Scoble

someone get a lighting expert to call me! - Tina Chase Gillmor

But when I use Google it usually brings me temporarily to websites. Apps are for things I want a permanent relationship with. - Robert Scoble

Shouldn't there be a dial you can turn to fix this TIna:-) - Francine Hardaway

And that's why to add them to your home scree, - Francine Hardaway

lens flare is cool - Kevin Marks

But with the web you get better syncing so to speak. For instance my weight loss app on iPhone and iPad don't sync but if they were web based... - Stephen Pickering

Waiting for HTML5 - Francine Hardaway

Stephen: mine do. Instagram syncs with the web just fine. - Robert Scoble

apple concedes web apps for icloud: http://techcrunch.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

Stephen: lots of weight loss apps sync to other places. If they don't, they should be pushed to. But true webapps can't talk to the GPS inside the phone. - Robert Scoble

The Wells Fargo app is very limited - Francine Hardaway

Because Instagram uses the web as its back end and places the data there - Stephen Pickering

Web (html) apps need to make sure that they have cool icon images built in to their code. Easy to do for iOS. Easy in-app monetization is harder to do but not impossible. And NFC will bring app impulse buy behaviors to retailers and physical goods. WIth each buy, you could give consumer option to "drop" an app on the buyers' mobile device. Does not matter if it's native or not. - Alex de Soto

So if the Apple / Android app store supported the installation of mobile web apps to the desktop the issue would go away? - Darren Bounds

Light. Easy to choose.Cheap or fee - Francine Hardaway

offline issues for web apps are still tricky: http://www.toolness.com/wp... - Kevin Marks

I like the idea of a Chrome Webstore-like service for Android and/or iOS. - Darren Bounds

the term is "average" people - Tina Chase Gillmor

Node.js has nothing to do with this arguement. - Darren Bounds

Robert and Steve assuming that normal people have the device density that we do... is a bit much - Kevin Marks

I would have thought we would have a "light" show today... but not so. - Tina Chase Gillmor

We're talking about alternate ways to render and interact with information on a mobile device. Node JS is an application server. - Darren Bounds

apart from the sunlight in the lens form me, you mean? - Kevin Marks

what's the app? - Tina Chase Gillmor

http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtop... - Robert Scoble

http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewfor... - Robert Scoble

Phil means the node.js support for socket.io I think - Kevin Marks

The whole reason for native apps initially was for user experience on a small real estate screen - Stephen Pickering

Wow. I agree with Steve. #firsttimeforeverything - Darren Bounds

Kevin: yup, and I just visited Nowjs yesterday and they are building an interesting real-time system for web. - Robert Scoble

thanks for the link Robert - Tina Chase Gillmor

http://nowjs.com/ - Robert Scoble

I'm using the web to watch this show - Stephen Pickering

Average users - Tina Chase Gillmor

Cheaper - Francine Hardaway

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19... - Kevin Marks

The Androids phones are often cheaper - Francine Hardaway

I was waiting for that, Tina :) - Hilary Talbot

;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

They're looking at the rest of the World where Windows brand is more popular and respected than within the Geek community in America and the UK - Stephen Pickering

Having spent the last week in the UK, Apple is definitely running away with the market here. Many Android devices but most users I've spoken with would rather have an iPhone. - Darren Bounds

http://www.thisandroidlife.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

In UK alone, Google’s Android Operating System accounts for 44.9% of the whole smartphone market. Having grown steadily from last year’s 37.4%, the Android OS gained 8.3% in market share as opposed to Apple’s iOS which showed a decline of 13.3% from 2010′s 32.9% to this year’s 19.6%. Being so, iOS remained Android’s close contender as it holds the number three spot with RIM’s BlackBerry... more... - Kevin Marks

let me find newer ones, but i bet iOS is displacing blackberry - Kevin Marks

i just downloaded a london pocket guide for one trip - Francine Hardaway

what? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Totally agree that Apple is the best, but must have a ton of respect for Google getting in early enough to be a respectable competition. Just that act alone shows the competitive nimbleness of Google to me, the fact that they executed on Android - Stephen Pickering

Is it true that Apple will launch it's own Mapping Service - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Kevin: That's interesting. I definitely see an Android majority but most people seem to want an iPhone. Why they don't buy one, I'm not sure. Cost? Carrier? - Darren Bounds

Darren: answer to why people choose Android over iPhones: http://www.quora.com/Android...? - Robert Scoble

Wow, tricky switching today...lots of it - Tina Chase Gillmor

Robert: Specifically here in the UK. - Darren Bounds

JK Rowling just ignored both Kindle and iBooks with Pottermore - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Pottermore books work on Kindle and Ipad etc - David Lloyd

Robert: Yes, I've read your Quora response. I think it's quite accurate. - Darren Bounds

Darren: it might be carrier focused. Also, use of phones in UK culture is quite different than here. The newspapers put texting numbers on top of front page there, for instance. I've never seen that here. So, there's a very strong texting culture. - Robert Scoble

pottermore is ePub, right? - Kevin Marks

pottermore has been touted as working on all ereaders and tablets so yes probablyepub - David Lloyd

Harry Potter Forever - Moe Glitz from iPhone

That's one Android Advantage the 5" screens - Stephen Pickering

people in restaurants dont talk to each other they just play on their phones! - David Lloyd

and the 7" ones - Kevin Marks

Form factor choice - Stephen Pickering

Similar experience for much less money - David Lloyd

yes - Francine Hardaway

Blackberry users liek their keyboards - Kevin Marks

Damn, I could tear some Logic up on that sucker! - Stephen Pickering

I've got one down from that - the quad-core 15, 12 gigs RAM. Hanging onto the MBP for travel, but I bet I won't open it much. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

someone has people like mine - Francine Hardaway

almost everyone hates it - Francine Hardaway

Cute! - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

multicam is needed for live cutting - Kevin Marks

? - Darren Bounds

yaaaaaaay - Francine Hardaway

Hi Naor :) - Nir Ben Yona

Nir, Sorry, I'm booked up until August. - Robert Scoble

Public really helps a LinkedIn because of the publicity - Stephen Pickering

Hi :) didn't know about the startup .. good luck - Naor Mark

Thinking of them as exits does not respect the users, let alone potential users. - Aron Michalski

My mom called me yesterday saying she signed up for linkedin! and she's 70! all because I think the publicity of the IPO - Stephen Pickering

Robert: depends on float size of FB - Dave Martin

Robert, it's ok we're in contact with Lew Moorman. - Nir Ben Yona

Pickering: LNKD's revenue is primarily from corporate recruiting budgets, not end users or advertising. - coldbrew

valuation is too high, they'll have to work hard to keep their value during next Q's - Naor Mark

Going pubic or being bought out shouldn't mean the Friendfeeding of a service; It should be the boost to the next level, not the buying of a boat for someone who doesn't care about you. - Aron Michalski

Ah, IC, still it gives them exposure that Facebook really doesn't need - Stephen Pickering

Groupon 2011 revenues said to be pacing at 3-4B, 70% operatng margins - Dave Martin

Coldbrew is right. LNKD has a good mix of revenue sources from corporate including biz subscriptions and advertising. - Alex de Soto

not just the bottles - taking water from one area and moving it elsewhere - big problem with Nestle and Michigan - Xenophrenia

Groupon debuted their location-based mobile product this week. Groupon Now! Beta live in Chicago - Dave Martin

That's it, I'm buying Sodastream which is an Israeli company also :-) - Stephen Pickering

It's a lot of issues ;-) - Xenophrenia

Naor hahahahhahaha, saves the environment too! heheheh - Stephen Pickering

it's not just the trucks - it's literally taking the water from Lake Michigan and transporting it elsewhere - Xenophrenia

8 lbs per gallon - Jerome Hughes

That's crazy. The Government is telling Google how to run their search engine? Crazy. - Stephen Pickering

There's a website - there's a problem in California too - http://stopnestlewaters.org/about ... okay .. I'll stop now ;-) - Xenophrenia

HBO GO is going to let subscribers watch some episodes in advance of "broadcast." - Alex de Soto

Please let it be Larry David! - Stephen Pickering

i'll try to sneak a wave in Aron - Tina Chase Gillmor

thing I hate about GO idea isyou have to be HBO subscriber. I want to buy certain shows (like "Real Time" and not much else) - dlature

It's like Paul Simon letting that girl play his guitar... - Aron Michalski

So, some BD, rather than just job search? - coldbrew

Stephen: Game of Thrones - Alex de Soto

I want HBO to allow subscriptions without requiring cable - I have cable internet - should be enough ;-) - Xenophrenia

Xenophrenia - exactly - dlature

Hypothetically, what if you gave a friend your HBO/Dish credentials, could they then watch GO? - Stephen Pickering

X- that $14 a month just for them is the key... - Aron Michalski

for me, BD on linkedin is happening for several years, much more then on other platforms - Naor Mark

I can afford $14 over $150 (because I'm NOT giving up my internet) ... ;-) - Xenophrenia

HBO would cost me a additional 50 bucks a month due to the package BS - dlature

Won't bet against Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn founder. Early funder of Facebook, Zynga others. - Dave Martin

Every time I try to reprice my bundle it lkeeps getting closer to $200 a month; I just wish that would follow me world wide. Alas, they all want a bite. - Aron Michalski

Reid is very smart. I once flew home in a private plane with him, great times. - Robert Scoble

I'm just afraid of Facebook's "Silo" which seems to be getting thicker and not thinner - dlature

dlature: we're definitely locked into Zuck's garden. - Robert Scoble

You can post tweets selectively to LinkedIn by inserting #in in your post (after you set permission to connect with Twitter on the LinkedIn account). - Alex de Soto

Robert: Reid was also one of the first believers to put money into Groupon - Dave Martin

Alex: yup, I just shoved all my tweets over there and no one complained. - Robert Scoble

yep, agree wholeheartedly Robert - dlature

Alex: yes, doing so sometimes, but mainly around business context, not personal - Naor Mark

Right you are Naor. - Alex de Soto

btw, in more traditional sectors i see much more linkedin usage then facebook - Naor Mark

Facebook is like weeds ... they keep popping up everywhere and I can't get rid of them ;-) - Xenophrenia

As of today's market close, Reid Hoffman is officially a billionaire (on paper) - Dave Martin

I love the idea of how much more great Angel investing Reid Hoffman can do now... he's backed so many good companies - Kevin Marks

Kevin: yup, except there's the mythical man month problem there. - Robert Scoble

Kevin: agreed, he's got great instincts. - Dave Martin

Also, there aren't an increasing supply of great companies. - Robert Scoble

a fake profile is not the issue, it's the social graph around it - Naor Mark

My wife has fallen for the fake Hugh Laurie on Twitter. Ugh! - Alex de Soto

I know a lot of kids who use 'fake' ID's ... they are real people using pseudonyms - Xenophrenia

If you follow people you know, you're ok. If you follow people you don't, buyer beware. - Aron Michalski

Don't you guys find the end of unlimited mobile data plans disturbing? - Dave Martin

That explains something. - Aron Michalski

Unlimited is only a thing you find in the US. - Aron Michalski

Everywhere else is capped with healthy overage charges. - Aron Michalski

Dave: I do, but funny enough I never hit the limits yet. - Robert Scoble

http://connectedhq.com is interesting - Kevin Marks

Breaking: Greg Pass stepped down at Twitter - Dave Martin

fast is better ... ? ... useless - tablets didn't take off until Apple did - does that make tablets useless? - Xenophrenia

It literally looks like my iPad made it out of Chengdu one shift before the accident... - Aron Michalski

tablets were around for a LONG time before Ipad showed up ... just because something doesn't 'take off' doesn't mean it's useless - Xenophrenia

I see what Glillmor means, but that is a bit harsh. - coldbrew

Aron: cool! - Robert Scoble

the quality that Facebook and Twitter have is cohesiveness ... but they are also traps into a system that is very hard to 'get out of' pretty much because of inertia of numbers - Xenophrenia

Bravos, Steve, Tina and gang. Great show. - Dave Martin

I won't be in NY. - Robert Scoble

Thanks everybody. - Aron Michalski

Thanks for the show, seeya. - coldbrew

thnx guys - Naor Mark

not sure if I get Ditto yet. - Jamie

Different circles - the last 4 people whose machines I jumped on had IE6 :-p - Denise Howell

Jamie: the UI needs a little bit more work to expose what's interesting there. - Robert Scoble

ditto needs an iPhone and Facebook... - Kevin Marks

Denise: I only talk to the tip of the spear. :-) - Robert Scoble

I hope you fixed that for them, Denise - Kevin Marks

The Xfinity apps from Comcast are pretty good. - Alex de Soto

I have an iPhone and Facebook. What I need are friends :) - Jamie

Kevin: there are lots of computers in conference rooms, lobbies, etc that aren't upgradeable by users and no one cares about them to upgrade them. - Robert Scoble

It's becoming one channel, with multiple windows. - Aron Michalski

Someone should caption you with your (er) hand up Robert: "Talk to the Tip!" Re fixing, yes, immediately. - Denise Howell

Imagine; we've reached the point where we want less channels. - Aron Michalski

My gogoinflight+iPad experience last week didn't work, the iPad choked on that connection. Also the hotel's later. Annoying; was glad I had the Air along too. (The good news is both fit comfortably in a purse.) - Denise Howell

I know, Denise. I have both and take them both, too. But that's a problem - Francine Hardaway

They are protecting the interests of the corporation they are part of. - Aron Michalski

the chap gave me a channel list, and I had no idea which show is on which channel, as I use a DVR - Kevin Marks

The network blocking/non-neutrality actions of the providers will be the big issue. - Aron Michalski

Basic TV and Fat pipe for Google TV is what I have. - cliveb

I get 22 channels over_the_air. - coldbrew

AT&T would give me free install only if I chose a TV package. I'll cancel it. - Kevin Marks

Even the Time-Warner on demand has half of the primetime offerings, then you have to shift to a different provider on their internet connection to watch Fox/ABC on demand. - Aron Michalski

make a good app and pay 30% and relinquish your direct relationship with the customer ..... any thoughts on this ?? - studentforce

The cable company bundling packages are non-sensical. - coldbrew

espn3 is an exception for sports games....watched bowl games that I couldnt get with my limited basic - dlature

It is signatory issues... Robert is right until the production structure of content is changed to incorporate ads/retail in (and hypervideo will do this) they will shift over to the new model... and like Apple, as they just set the precedent, they will take a piece of the revenue from integrated retail). - davidlee

It's the value of intent over the value of "cache" there was a story earlier this week of a girl who sells 100,000 copies of her fiction through kindle without a publisher - Stephen Pickering

Yes, she writes vampire crap for teens, apparently. - coldbrew

The Last Mile is so important, and Comcast is my only choice - Stephen Pickering

Coldbrew, yeah I didn't see what she writes, still its interesting - Stephen Pickering

Pickering: I agree, just pointing it out for those that don't know. - coldbrew

WiMAX last mile, what happened? - cliveb

How about fiber for the last mile?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!??! - Stephen Pickering

ZipTV, love it - Kevin Marks

cliveb: tech issues. Spectrum is still valuable. - coldbrew

Superbowl parties, Oscar parties - Kevin Marks

No Reservations - Jim Posner

Comcast keeps sending me notices about DLing Bill Maher shows (like I don't know I'm DL ing them)> - coldbrew

What? Bill Maher is on HBO. Huh? - Stephen Pickering

Idol on HD; kinda like manchego Cheetos. - Aron Michalski

Last mile spectrum issues need FCC solution (Fat Pipe, Fat Chance) - cliveb

Comcast needs HBO exactly like iOS needs Amazon and Google. - Stephen Pickering

I found the 720p quality on AppleTV better than the HD on the DVR - less compressed looking - Kevin Marks

AJE shows there is a market for serious news on devices. I hope startups move into this space. - Jim Posner

Yes. But, they are getting DMCAs from HBO b/c im on the torrent (and so are ~300 other people). - coldbrew

Ah, IC. - Stephen Pickering

news consumption is always "bursty" - Jim Posner

Apple's pricing is simply stunning. It's flabbergasting the market. - coldbrew

JohnB echos Eric Ries #leanstartup learn from MVP (min value prod) - cliveb

lovin' the Chartbeat possibilities & Borthwick is right it is about complex television / film production structure. - davidlee

coldbrew: Did you mean flummoxing the market? - Alex de Soto

de Soto: Perhaps. - coldbrew

This has always been about art. What's the point in having the hardware unless you're creating content of interest? - Aron Michalski

I have to choose the ipad for the same reason I've chosen the custom machine up 'til this point. - coldbrew

Robert's right - Stephen Pickering

Robert: My thoughts EXACTLY. The Kinect is definitely a top-notch product. Thing is that Kinect is a Prime Sense development. - Nir Ben Yona

I think they could build the company around Kinect - Francine Hardaway

xPad x everything - Stephen Pickering

A whole company around a UI component? - coldbrew

I mean re-build the company by letting those old divisions die - Francine Hardaway

And yes, a whole company around UI. That is what APple's doing - Francine Hardaway

Or maybe it's UX. At bottom, that's what all companies are built around - Francine Hardaway

The innovator's dilemma is alive and well. - coldbrew

Give me a tool to create. Give me a tool that will push me beyond my current work. The pen, the typewriter, the computer. The will to write and the ability to say something has to be there; the tool can take you to the next level. - Aron Michalski

Talked about Roku+Amazon Prime yet? - Denise Howell

Enterprise can use Kinect to videoconference - Francine Hardaway

my boys are playing minecraft, not xbox - Kevin Marks

xBoxes in the break room of the enterprise - Stephen Pickering

big xbox user myself..wish it had youtube and a browser - Jim Posner

Could MS build a Kinect device to plug into an iPad that's connected to an HD monitor? - Alex de Soto

I want Prezi as a real iPad app... - Kevin Marks

Marks: I have to believe your kids are above average. Not to be a snob about it. - coldbrew

wish apple tv ran iOS or had safari - Jim Posner

sure, I'm scobleing... but MineCraft is a huge phenomenon - Google should fund an Android port - Kevin Marks

the browser doesn't work on the TV - Jamie

I thought the PS3 had a browser that worked pretty well. - Jim Posner

i'm not even convinced apps will - Jamie

I have a PS3 and browsing on it is just terrible Jim. control pad as an input device really isn't ideal - Jamie

ffs, everyone send your good health vibes to Borthwick. - coldbrew

really wish I could browse on my iPad and flick to the tv - Jim Posner

The Apple iOS device platform is also very adaptable or extendable. Medical devices, sensors, etc. will easily hook up. I'm sure Android and MS will move in that direction. - Alex de Soto

the Quick Bar - Jamie

shows you trends and promoted tweets - Jamie

new Twitter App on Android UX blows - cliveb

i agree Robert....hate it - dlature

annoying ...really annoying - davidlee

it's so annoying .. moved to echofon - Naor Mark

Totally agree with Robert. A petition has been created to remove this http://www.petitionspot.com/petitio... - Mark Krynsky

it is very instrusive. - dlature

Tweetdeck for Android; good stuff. - Aron Michalski

it will be gone. If we all hate it they will kill it - Tina Chase Gillmor

Seesmic for Android got a nice update this week - Kevin Marks

Robert will pay for the rest of us. - Aron Michalski

Borthwick reminds me of the trade federation from Dune :) - coldbrew

sry man - coldbrew

Hate that part of the new Twitter app too. They did add some interesting features though. You can turn "Ignore local trends" in the settings and turn off pinstripes, whatever that is. - Alex de Soto

I was happily using the official Twitter client until this update and I'm sure that myself and others will now explore all the 3rd party alternatives again....not good for them. - Mark Krynsky

Hillary says VoA should become more like AJE. Wonder if the US could produce a credible network. - Jim Posner

I really like the new Echofon Pro. - Nir Ben Yona

Hey! I just turned off pinstripes and local trends and the little black bar went away! - Alex de Soto

The spice must flow. - coldbrew

Time to check out Seesmic or Echofon (easier than petitions) - cliveb

Interesting Alex...I turned off local trends yesterday but it had no effect. Pinstripes I didn't try but will now. - Mark Krynsky

Oh no! The little black bar didn't really go away. :( Sorry Mark - Alex de Soto

local trends are an optional setting. - Mark Krynsky

Do the deal sites have twitter feeds with substance? - coldbrew

Mine doesn't have it, guess I haven't updated yet - Stephen Pickering

pinstripes - Aron Michalski

it doesn't remove it, just make the annoyance local :) - Naor Mark

Yep! Sorry. I thought I'd give it a shot. - Alex de Soto

No Alex...those settings do not kill the bar... - Mark Krynsky

PER device. - Aron Michalski

it makes the annoyance less local - Kevin Marks

People that pay more than $55/ device for 3g are lost. - coldbrew

Right Kevin - Alex de Soto

right. and i agree with Nir, echofon looks nice... - Naor Mark

I use Echofon on mac now - Kevin Marks

Get better, Borthwick.! - coldbrew

Mobile = combining life with technology, creativity with technology, a huge boost in productivity. - Stephen Pickering

Pick it up at the Austin store..maybe I can help..walking distance from me Robert. - Jim Posner

I checked our echofon for mac but it doesn't work well with Hebrew (important for me) i'm using YoruFukurou mainly - Naor Mark

Scoble: If you talk about apps anymore, I'm coming to your house to shut you up :) - coldbrew

Obviously, kidding - coldbrew

apps Schmapps, we need web too. ditto needs a web app - Kevin Marks

Kevin...and Android! - Mark Krynsky

ditto - Jamie

Marks: You are always the voice of reason here. - coldbrew

YoruFukurou - tongue twister - cliveb

Thank you Doc, Thank you Kevin, John and Steve! - Aron Michalski

Thanks, as always, you guys. - coldbrew

(and Tina...) - Aron Michalski

Almost inspired to buy iPad 2, but living in hope GoogleIO gifts a Tablet - cliveb

so what are the odds that they are launching lists to everyone today? - Rob Diana

How can we tweet about this? :-p - Olivier Biot

received mine a long ago :) - ffcode

Hmm, the list functionality might be going live, true. Would have thought the beta programme might run a little longer. Perhaps this is setting a precedent for the future, like Apple, whenever there's a new release/product taken live the site goes down for 30mins? :) - Ed Richardson

well.. my stream is on, but no lists..(yet?) - Naor Mark

I assume Twitter is down for everyone and not just me? And by 'down', I mean while you can access the site, updates from others aren't coming through to your stream (your own updates DO appear, oddly). Seemed to start misbehaving around 1526GMT. http://twittercism.com/twitter...

The thing is that some spammers get even more sophisticated. They don't start spamming immediately as the account goes live, but tweet like regular users for a while. It's hard to track them down, especially when they use real pics that were taken from normative users. - Nir Ben Yona

Yep, that's my dilemma. A brief look and it seems legitimate. It's too difficult to keep a vigil on who's who. - Mo Kargas

Most of the Twitter Spammers I have encountered have numbers (3-4) at the end of the user name and most of the spammers use sexy-ish female photos. Not a hard and fast rule, but 95% fit this so far. - Allen Harkleroad

If somebody successfully downloads this, can you please try OurDoings and see if our Picasa button works? You can disable the button afterwards. - Bruce Lewis

Seems to work now for me! - http://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2009... - Adam Lasnik

Nicholas - you're fantastic. Thank you very much! - Matt Frog

done that and i get the dmg of PicasaWebAlbumsUploader not the picasa app - could it be limited to a territory? - Naor Mark

About time too!!! - Mel Buckpitt

I've never used Picasa - until my needs grew to Aperture I loved iPhoto. What does it do better than iPhoto? Why would I want this? (honest questions, not snarky ones) - Sparky, lurking

Ah, yeah, Nicholas I just installed the web uploader too - still no cigar :( - Matt Frog

It seems that most iLife apps realize their potential when used in conjuction with their online services(.mac/ MobileMe). Picasa (and Google apps in general) accomplish most of the same things for free. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

for me it's mainly for multi platforms (having mac,win & linux at home). As an app (and i'm not an expert, used it on Win.) it's very easy to use, with various tagging options and it works quite well on my home network storage so it is perfect for our "home photo processing work flow->(i.e. i move the pics to the drive, wife is organizing and tag them :)) - Naor Mark

From Duncan Riley - this link at Download.com works!! http://www.download.com/Picasa... - Matt Frog

Here's the direct link (others above forgot the #): http://picasa.google.com/mac/# - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

After installing, I realized that Google is investing in video a lot with this, particularly with connecting YouTube directly to the interface. Given that most consumer cameras can shoot acceptable quality videos (which will increase significantly soon), Picasa is likely to become more relevant for videos at some point. - Engin Erdogan

amazing how so many so called tech experts kept pushing the uploader as the real deal - it finally materialized but long after most had shot themselves - Kevin Cearns

I'd like to echo Sparky's question: Can someone articulate advantages over iPhoto? Is it just sync to cloud integration? - Micah

Personally speaking I find that iPhoto is a 'walled garden' or in OSx speak 'a package'. If you want to store your images in different folders, with different names, manipulate your images with another app, you have to set up aliases and all sorts of other nonsense. Picasa allows you to import your images wherever you want so they can be used by whatever app you want and that includes Picasa. It has basic image manipulation which I find very intuitive to use. - Mel Buckpitt

It also allows you access to a Flickr like photo sharing account - Mel Buckpitt

Its nice but it does not integrate with the other apple software (media browser) and it doesnt allow the db to be stored on a different drive :( Picasa web albums is very nice though - Jonas Wouters

Will give this a try when I get home after work, but I don't know if I will migrate away from Flickr. - Vinko

Vinko, try http://picasa2flickr.sourceforge.net/ Picasa supports buttons that upload to other photo-sharing sites. Now I just need to test it with my site. Is it really Intel only? - Bruce Lewis

bout time. - Cee Bee

Installed Picasa eagerly. It's giving me some issues though. Doesn't show one of my watched drives and folders on it. Worked fine for an hour, dissappeared the second time I opened it. - The Fat Oracle

Yeah, I don't understand why they can't just build a universal binary. Are developers really relying on Intel-only bits? - Victor Ganata

Picasa for Mac is fantastic! Although I have and still use Nikon Capture NX for my Nikon RAW files (NEF), Picasa does a wonderful job of organizing my photos and making it so much easier to search through them! It does have some pretty nifty editing tools available, too, although it won't take the place of a more full-featured photo editing program. Picasa has organized my files in such... more... - John G

i'm asking primarily because i have questions...but there's no forum really for them on the CulturedCode site. Was wondering whether it would be worth setting up a group for the app - if there are enough users out there - Zee.

29 more comments

I do, have done for a while. What's up? - Keith Bennett

although it's probably the best task management app i've come across...I'm confused about things like postponing the date on a task...that doesn't remove it from the "today" list. Why not? And I can click on "not today", that will do it but does that mean it wont appear in my today list ever? - Zee.

ive got more questions btw, but thats one of them :P - Zee.

The Today list doesn't have anything to do with due dates. It's just a list of things you'd like to get accomplished today. In other words, the Today list doesn't care which day it is and has no concept of overdue tasks. If you have a due date, or if you'd like to postpone something and have it automatically reappear later, you can change it to a scheduled task which will bump it back into Today on the day you choose. Otherwise, it'll camp out in the Next list. - Akiva

Actually there's a forum : http://culturedcode.com/things... - Chris

Ah i see Akiva, that makes things much clearer! @Chris - thank you, i couldn't find the damn thing. - Zee.

Yeah, The Hit List is really good too. In fact I use both. One for work, one for private stuff.. - Chris

@muhammetsevim I did actually try thehitlist (and loved it because of the outliner like features) but if there's one thing that nearly every todo list app i've every tried has been missing is reordering of "today's tasks". Things is the only app I've come across that allows for in depth organisation as well as reordering of your today list. - Zee.

I've been looking at this. Currently using remember the milk. Wondering what the benefits would be of Things over RTM?? Anyone used both? - Robert DeBord

Yeah, i've used RTM - and frankly my biggest gripe with it was the ordering of lots of lists. I ended up with about half a page of lists before i could reach the actual todo list. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't any manual reordering of tasks either... - Zee.

Thanks Zee, I can definitely see where that would be a problem. So far I don't have more than a dozen lists, but even that gets a little much. - Robert DeBord

Also, Things has such an attractive interface, it makes it a pleasure to use. Personally, I can't stand web-based software (which is why I don't use stuff like Gmail or Hiveminder). Give me a nice-looking, fully-featured desktop client that can sync with my phone over anything else any day of the week. - Akiva

@Akiva, for sure, although i wish Things had a better syncing mechanism. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if you spend an hour organising your todo's in the morning...then leave home forgetting to sync it - you're screwed right? - Zee.

Yeah. That's the one place where OmniFocus wins; it allows you to use WebDAV. I'm hoping that Things allows this in future versions, too. In the meanwhile, I've just trained myself to sync Things when I'm leaving the house and I know I've made changes. - Akiva

right, yeah - think i'm going to have to learn to do the same - Zee.

Another idea is to sync immediately after you're done messing with it. - Akiva

what happens if you make changes on the desktop, forget to sync, make changes on your phone during the day, then come back home and sync? - Zee.

Things is really smart about merges. I've never had a conflict that didn't work out logically. - Akiva

yes! I simply love this app. - ialla

things does look as the best desktop app. but.. syncing via web makes much more sense.. I will not (tested and proven :)) will be able to remember doing the sync when i leave.. i keep using RTM just because it's always there for me.. so.. i'll wait to see what they'll do - Naor Mark

Just started using Things quite heavily. It's been pretty awesome so far. - Arlan K.

For those of you looking for web-based sync, you should e-mail the developers and let them know. The more they hear about it, the more likely they are to include the feature. - Akiva

If someone creates a group, I'll join it. - Akiva

Just an idea: syncing via MobileMe would be just perfect. Like Wallet from Acrylic sw does (unfortunately I cannot use it, since not available in the european app store). - ialla

I would join a group too. I don't use the desktop app so syncing isn't a bugbear for me but I adore the iPhone app which keeps me sane and involves less time organising and more time doing! - Nico

great app! I'm still wating for its online version. ;) - Serkan Ünsal

i wish they synced with Remember the Milk - Ouriel Ohayon

@Ouriel, that would be great although RTM's data model is much simpler (at least it looks so), yet with some smart mapping to lists and tags...(one of these moments i wish i was still coding and could try that :)) - Naor Mark

Used and liked it all though the beta, but moved over to RTM when the product finally launched. I think its WAY too expensive for what it is, especially considering that RTM is just as good and free. - Todd Brunner from twhirl

@shedali It's not a problem for me because I work at home, so I don't spen a lot of time away from my computer. Plus you can tweet tasks to RTM from your phone, so if you can send an SMS you always have an inbox. - Todd Brunner from twhirl

@Scoble How do you mean "what I get close to those numbers?" - can you clarify - Zee.

Use it, but not as a social tool. - invariant

Robert: I don't think he wants to gloat about his numbers. It's about the fact that a lot of people still do use Google Reader or other RSS Readers; they just don't socialise with it as much as they do with Twitter or FF. - Bhavishya Kanjhan

Yes, but I feel I'm wasting to much time with it. Browsing entire RSS feeds is not really targeted and Google Reader doesn't filter. - Oliver Bouchard

I use it for my feedreading, but not socially. - Scott Bulloch

I'm still waiting to hear what Scoble's crap about "89,000 followers on Twitter, 5000 on facebook and 38,000 on Friendfeed" was about. - Zee.

Yes I do! - Victor Ryden 美久太阿

Nope - RAPatton

naa, he'll respond - at least i hope so. Because I'm really hoping i'm wrong about what i think he was implying there. - Zee.

yes I do = but I am quickly finding FriendFeed and Twitter replacing some of the feeds I used to subscribe to. - Tony

Yes! I use Google Reader constantly, in my web browser and on my iPhone. I have RSS feeds set up for my common Twitter searches, too. I also use Yahoo Pipes that I've developed over time to have very targeted RSS feeds. But I don't socialize via Reader. - Kurt Rosenkranz

Yes, I still use Google Reader, voraciously. It has NOTHING to do with comments/followers. Rather, GReader is a tool for being better informed. Sometimes I use my GReader learnings in the real world - in conversation - where we don't formally have followers and such. - Mike Reynolds

R.Scoble: What do follower numbers have to say in this matter, or at all ? I thought you had a statement about quantity vs quality some time ago as well ? - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

I use NewsFire, and occasionally Resc Newws! on my PalmOS phone. I guess I haven't joined the "everything's in the cloud" revolution yet. - Joshua Lee

<whisper> I've never used it. </whisper> - Derrick

Thomas: follower users tell you how many people use a service and map pretty closely how many people are using a service, if you can see them in aggregate. - Robert Scoble

Zee: it's not what 80+ people on friendfeed say. It's how many people ACTUALLY use these services. Google Reader just doesn't have the numbers. My follower numbers are a very accurate indicator of that. - Robert Scoble

R. Scoble: people follow more people on Twitter than on Facebook because Facebook means you share a lot of information, so I'm not sure if those numbers mean much in the way of that. - Joshua Lee

@Scoble But how do you know how many people use Google Reader? - Zee.

I don't use google reader, and I use twitter, facebook, and a bit of friendfeed. ;-) - Joshua Lee

But Robert, I use GReader EVERY DAY, but I'm not really socially connected with anyone on it. GReader's main function can be used without any social integration at all - so how many people follow you or vice versa isn't really relevant. Even leaving aside the issue of whether number of followers is relevant at all - it certainly isn't relevant when the core function of a service isn't connecting with other people, but consuming content. - Jandy

Yes: it is a convenient tracking system and I like the email alerts - Anita Hunt

I use google alerts without GReader - Joshua Lee

GReader != social - Mike Reynolds

Yes. It's an essential daily tool for must-read feeds, as well as for discovery. Social media does not give me the same content as my must-read feeds. - Tinfoil 2.0

Sometimes feeds generate data for social media.... I share a lot of links via email and occasionally facebook or twitter. - Joshua Lee

No. Currently it does not cater for my feed reader needs. - Vidar Andersen

I used to use a similar online newsreader, bloglines I think it is called, but after a while I found having to check a website unweildy - the whole point to RSS is to not have to play with your browser to read information. - Joshua Lee

If you want to follow blogs directly on their site, at least for Blogger, you pretty much have to do use Google Reader. I know I've had that feedback from my followers. - Fossil Huntress

Yeah, blogger is a bit of a closed ecosystem. Very ungooglelike. - Joshua Lee

/me uses his best Ronald Reagan impression "Mr. Brin - tear down this wall" - Joshua Lee

every day for real work needs. for all the rest, FF, Twitter and Facebook - Giovanni De Stefano

Yes. Daily. But I overlay it with Feedly - www.feedly.com - which makes it rather prettier. - Stephen Collins

Clearly Scoble doesn't really want to get too involved with this discussion. Which is disappointing considering he was the motivation for the post in the first place. - Zee.

Google will eventually add real-time and social networking stuff to Google Reader, and especially with algorithms to suggest the best posts to read, then all will use that most - Charbax

I use it. But I don't share anything with it. I just use it to keep on top of a few news sites and forums. - Jan Ole Peek

no, but I'm ashamed to admit it. I used to use bloglines. - Laura Norvig

I live in Google Reader. It's my life line for discovery, digestion and distribution. - Mike Fruchter

Yes. - Deborah Fitchett

I do. I could live without FF, Twitter et al but Google Reader is a time/life saver. - Murray Barton

Yup. - Mathew A. Koeneker

Yes - Shevonne

Sometimes. - Jonathan Hardesty

I do. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

I do w/feedly - Dave Martin

I do when I'm bored. It's more a bookmarking spot for me than anything. - Mitch

Yes, I use google reader and RSS is not going anywhere - Wayne Sutton

Yep, pretty much everyday - WRider from twhirl

yes, daily - Brian

well clearly according to Scoble, all of you guys saying that you use it are not part of the majority...and Google Reader is actually a very quiet place - Zee.

Went from Google Reader to NetNewsWire simply because of the syncing ability between the Mac client and the iPhone app. - Mike Bracco

Yes - constantly - Threepwood

Zee: sorry, I had to drive Patrick home. There are a variety of ways to see how popular Google Reader is. Look at Quantcast. Alexa. Compete. Compare referee logs with others, etc. I have kept on top of the usage numbers and Google Reader isn't keeping up with growth in other agregator types like Facebook and friendfeed andthe people I compare numbers with see a lot more traffic from... more... - Robert Scoble

Yes, I love it. - Kate

Absolutely! Key tool 4 R&D. - Jan Friman from Nambu

@Scoble thanks for the clearer and less agro response. I'm really going to dig in and do some research into it because although I definitely believe that Facebook & Co. are growing much faster...as a news source/tool - i still believe it's number 1 and has huge potential for further growth - Zee.

i do and love its integration into everything - Zach Scott

Yes. Ugly as it is. - Robin Barooah from Nambu

@Robin check this out http://thenextweb.com/2009... - Zee.

Sure. Save the good stuff with Read It Later & Evernote. - David Hayes

Yes. - David Cook

Yes - just to read - J.D. Deutschendorf

Yes. Recently I love to use GReader via feedly.com - yezi

Yes, especially to share - Janaree Nore

I'm a long-time Reader fan. - Kevin Fox

Yes, though a lot less since Friendfeed came along - JCunwired

I stopped a few months ago...but now I'm back to using Feedly - love the magazine layout, just a cleaner better way to read (for me that is ;) - Aline Ohannessian

Religiously. - Steven Perez

Off and on. - Parth Awasthi

Yes, at least twice a day... every day. - CJ Guest

no, only a handful of times - Chris Heath

I just import Robert Scoble's and Louis Gray's .... it's much easier - Charlie Anzman

don't know how i would get all the rich data w/ out gReader and Feedly. - michael sean wright

Yes - I don't always read it, but yes. - Brent - Yes I am

i don't feedread anymore. tired of the echo - Richard A.

Everyday - Roger Teh

Yes, probably my second most-visited site after FriendFeed. - John E. Bredehoft

yes - Duane

sure - Alper Umut Çimen

Yes, love it. - Mark Krynsky

yup - Alejandro

yes! - Randy

Yes, every day! - Jonathan

Yep, I'm an avid user. - Lode Nachtergaele

Almost as much as gmail. Don't view or need it to be 'social'. - Arawak

yes. :) - Laurentiu

extended firefox with feedly this evening -- thank you all for that recommendation, gReader looks so much better, especially where the folders can be customized with different views: magazine stylesheet enhances the readability of content. [I'm looking into the exposure of private feeds when feedly services are used. Comments? It was surprising how they got to my subscriptions without my password.] - Adriano

[off-topic @cacarr : ditto, cf. extensions like Zotero, It's All Text (w/ vim ;-), or even Read It Later] - Adriano

Yeap feeds and alerts all in there. - Jonathan Kong

Yes I do, and I'm also pretty impressed with feedly/firefox, but I use that in addition to slogging through my greader feeds. I'm in the process of re-organizing my feeds so I can "mark all as read" without concern I'm missing something I need to see. "a1_events a2_casts b1_techblogs x9_other" etc. - Richard Walker

Sure do, but a little les frequently than in the past - Alistair (alpinefolk)

I do. - Roshan Ramachandran

& my shared items get routed to Friendfeed+Facebook & from FF to Twitter... :) - Roshan Ramachandran

I do use Google Reader but just to read news feeds not sharing or whatever. The number of updates is getting a bit unmanageable now and I end up bulk-marking a lot as read, but it's good to skim through the headlines or less active feeds. - By_tor

Yes, but must admit my usage of it has dropped off a cliff since I started using Twitter more (mainly because it was easier to digest content on a mobile), but think the noise ratio is greater on Twitter, so may go back to Reader when I get the next iPhone. - Paul M Evans

If I share stuff in Feedly it ends up in FriendFeed and Twitter. Someone has to put the good stuff up there to retweet... - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Absolutely! Google Reader is still the first webpage i hit in the morning to read my "a-list" tagged feeds. - Niklas Sjostrom

absolutely! - Goktug Gedik

yes i do but since friendfeed came on the scene it gets less and less - (jeff)isageek

yes but mostly through Feedly, and i do use Friendfeed to replace some stuff too. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

Yes.. I would never socialize on it as well, the tool is of course, fantastic.. - Daniel Tal

Yes. I hate to admit it but Google did a great job with Reader. At first I didn't share anything but after some tweaking I got addicted to it. The gadget is great too (when it refreshes of course) - Carlos Lorenzo

Yes - Martin Liechti from fftogo

yes, a lot! - Thomas Lemberger

Fuk yea and how ! - viki saigal

Bloglines seems to be less reliable than Google Reader, but I stick with it because it's much easier to use. Complete navigation with single key strokes. Google Reader forces me to use the mouse. Too fussy. I'd prefer a desktop client, but haven't found one that is as good as Bloglines (on Linux). - ˈpɛbə

Yes I do - Sampad Swain

Yes. I have hundreds of RSS feeds that I read via Reader. I haven't found a better Web-based replacement. I do not use Reader for it's social networking aspects though. - Glenn J. Ward

No, I prefer Bloglines. - Dimitar Vesselinov

Yes - Spencer

Yes, for all of the sites I follow. - Robert Kenney

yes - Sarah Peterman

Yup. Everyday. - Stephen

Nope. - Rochelle

Yep - Mustafa Tan

Nope. - Akiva

I was just checking Feedburner actually and noticed that 60% of our subscribers (8000+) at TheNextWeb.com use Google Reader.... - Boris

Yes, every day! - Hamza Şamlıoğlu @TEAkolik

Yep! - ॐ adnan taşkıran

yes - clarke thomas

I use it and Feedly - Nathan Chase

yep - Jayavasanthan J

y, don't get to read everything tho - Artyom

It's the only RSS reader I use. I've tried several RSS apps on my phone and a couple on my computer and none are anywhere near as good as the web based Google Reader, either on my phone or on the computer. So I just stick with it. - Nathan Mylott

Zee - thanks for the link - I followed it and found 'helveitreader' which is nicer still. However, I have issues with the interaction as well as the style. (http://ff.im/3d9Np [http://ff.im/3d9Np] is real) - Robin Barooah from IM

Every day - on iPhone and Mac ... - Patrick Jordan

Yes..I push out my shared feeds to a Google Reader widget published on my blog. - George Dearing from BuddyFeed

everyday - me also having a dedicated widget on my blogs. - diego morelli

yes daily - Lu Tao

yes, daily, for now Twitter and twitter-like services are not replacing it... - roland legrand

Yes, daily. - George Brickner

Daily, it is a complement for specialized interests. - scottnewell

Yes. - Mark H

Yes. only way to keep track of 250blogs, and its the only remotely Social media style site that isn't blocked by my work IT department. I share stuff not in Greader but on here more so. - Yant

I use reader, but keep looking for ways to cut myself off from it. I hate feeling that I have to read everything. - Daniel Zarick

Zee, why don't you use ffpolls? :) http://www.ffpolls.com/ - bilge k.

ffpolls is broken for me - Robin Barooah from IM

@Robin Barooah; It's working correctly now. - bilge k.

Yes. - Blake

@Bilge: Not for me: http://screencast.com/t... - Robin Barooah

Thanks Robin, i told about failure to founder. - bilge k.

Yes, weekly - Ahmet Alp Balkan

Robin can you tell me poll title and poll answers? - batuhan

I use it every day to skim what is going on but don't use it to socialize - Sandra

part of my core tool set... - Richard Zeidel

yup - docrivs

Sure do - Andrew Leahey

I use it all the time. - Pete Gilbert

every day - chrisofspades

Yes - OnuRC

yes. (btw @robin: it's fixed i think. can you please try again?) - Yusuf Nays

Yes, but not actively. I use it to aggregate my favorite newsfeeds into one giant RSS feed, which I feed into Wizz RSS reader (Firefox plugin). Wizz automatically checks for updates at specified intervals, so I stay on top of the latest news from all services. I also use it to search mp3/filesharing RSS feeds that I subscribe to, and to bookmark useful posts. - LANjackal

Used to use it all the time, but I still check on my feeds from time to time through it. - i80and

@Yusuf yes - works for me now: http://ff.im/3eQqx - Robin Barooah

Yes - Yavuz Karakişi

Nope, i mean i used to but than came FriendFeed - Majento

All day every day, yes. - Ms_Krista

Everyday! - Anthony DCosta

Yes, everyday. - Cristian

Yes, its my central information repository.Where i aggregate all interesting RSS ( from almost 150 different sources) so i never miss a beat. There are certain desktop apps which are better then Google Reader but whats great about it is its online repository which works for every device i use to access it. Though i clearly think there is a hell lot of improvement needed. In its current avatar it can be pretty unmanagable specially if you read a lot and you can't be online 24*7. - Abhishek Sharma

jah - Furkan Tunalı

Everyday. I have it set up so a can create keyword specific feeds to selectively send items to other sites. - Kevin Shannon

Yes and I cannot live without it :) - Michela Cimnaghi /cimny

Yes. The best reader out there. - Jesper Jazzper Isaksson

Yes, everyday. - Peter Kruit

yes, I do everyday. I do sharing too. It works like a champ for me. - Mitchell Hislop

all the time! - Egyirba from twhirl

only with feedly otherwise it's clumsy and ugly looking - Cee Bee

love google reader and sometimes use feedly - sean808080

via Sharaholic only (to share, and seldom), I've never been to the official site, I don't do browser based RSS/Atom - Michael W. May

yup its taking over bookmarking.... - cysko

Nope. - Pandu ● IT Optimizer

love it, but wish there were more people on my google social graph - Saul Howard

I'm inclined to agree about the socializing in the reader. Otherwise, as a reader, it's ace. - Bronson Harrington

I do however so few of my friends do I do not socialize there. - Brian Bufalo

yep and I use it with feedly firefox addon - Adrian

No, I don't use Google Reader. - Thierry R. Andriamirado

yep! - Gio
