@krystynchong I use twittelator pro also. I tried tweetie on a friends phone. Wasn't much difference. I delete apps I don't use.

do you use tweetdeck on #iPhone? I like twittelator multiple options, but have grown partial to twitterrific's easibilty to jump around & view user profiles.
- krystynchong
from iPhone
I tried tweetdeck when it was launched. It seemed too big for true mobile use. I felt like I was on my desktop. twitterrific always felt very simple and to the point to me. With twittelator, if I want to post quick and view I can, and if I want to get deeper and share on the go, I can do that as well.

Attn Tivo Owners: I just bought a TV episode from Amazon on my Tivo, but I see no option for how to play the damned thing. Any ideas? Doesn't show up in Now Playing and there's no option in the Amazon menu for playing video.
Josh Haley and Alex Scoble liked this
it usually takes a few for it to show up on your Tivo...has to "download" first
- jamar78
Thanks! So, where will it show up?
- Internet's Tad
It should show up in Now Playing. If it is the first time that you ordered a movie, I heard that it takes a while. You can speed it up by manually connecting though.
- Howard O'Berry
from twhirl
This is taking into account that your tivo is linked to your amazon acct
- jamar78
It shows up in "Now Playing." But ours takes forever to download even though our internet connection is really fast.
- Shannon Jiménez
It finally downloaded. Really nice quality, but whenever I buy something on my AppleTV (currently broken) it's ready to play in less than a minute. Even Netflix on my Tivo is available almost immediately after I put it in the queue. Still, it is nice to have an alternative while I wait to see if Apple is going to make a new AppleTV.

Not sure if I should go with the Sony Reader, or the Kindle 2. The Sony Reader needs Windows, which is a big turnoff

twhirl is nice, but I haven't seen how it responded to the new FF stream. The web is ok, but everytime I am doing something in my browser, it goes back to disturb that window I had open for FF!

I don't get why people find the new friendfeed overwhelming. It is mostly the old realtime feature with a new design.
Jeff P. Henderson, Baard @ Pixum, Tyler (Chacha) and 5 other people liked this
I agree. When I use FriendFeed I only use it in RealTime so this isn't much of a difference for me either. The colors aren't to my liking, but I have no complaints about the general UID.
- Spyros Papaspyropoulos
Because not everyone found the old realtime feature usable...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
And I hated and never used the old realtime feature.
- Rochelle
Well, speaking as a UI Designer, I think the new FF design is much easier for newcomers and every service needs newcomers. Also because of it's Twitter likeness it is more familiar to most twitter users. Facebook went that way too. So, the way I see it, the new FriendFeed design is like Twitter on steroids! You get your text messages, your photos, your videos and anything else. I think this new design will make it more mainstream as a Social Media network and more people will start using it eventually.
- Spyros Papaspyropoulos
Not too mad at it actually. I will get it one of these days
- Howard O'Berry
Not a fan of realtime either.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
Never used realtime myself.
- Niki Costantini
I never used realtime as it is very hard to read through a long thread with the screen constantly updating.
- Jeff P. Henderson
You do have the option of pausing your screen in the Beta. It is at the top right corner to the left of your profile photo
- Spyros Papaspyropoulos
pause is the key. once that's turned on, it acts like the old static pages.
- Kamilah Gill
Does Friendfeed Beta not group multiple entries in a short period of time from the same user any more? I would miss that feature.
I don't know what is going on! I will give it some time though. Looks like a twitter layout though

Desperate times! I noticed it a while ago though. Like when I first started blogging. As things like social media and blogging get more and more popular, you are bound to see more and more people bending/breaking the rules to get ahead. In most cases it works against them though.

from twhirl
I love how some guy commented on my "Best Internet Marketing Posts of 2007" post with a YouTube video he created and wrote about in 2008. Not only that, but the guy even added fake "testimonials" for his barely-viewed video! Definitely desperate times. It's sad. It's not hard to sign up for social networks like FriendFeed, use them effectively, and become known. But commenting out of the blue about oneself is not genuine. (And this isn't the most recent case either...)
- Tamar Weinberg
well i would say that a large number of social media blogs are fairly self-promoting, so that's probably in your radar... really depends on what you read...
- Jeremy Toeman
I think it's about time that a blog post be written to address this... in the radar, I guess. What else peeves you about blog comments?
- Tamar Weinberg
i get annoyed by the lack of follow-up in a comment thread. people let the conversation just 'die' too much
- Jeremy Toeman
Strangely yesterday I received a sincere apology from a guy who was promoting his service in comments that were almost off-topic (and he definitely did not seem to read the post itself). And that's my point: I hate it when people submit comments with their thoughts without actually reading my thoughts in the post. The irony is that I may have already described the same ideas right in the post itself.
- Svetlana Gladkova
@Svetlana, I totally agree -- people like to hear themselves but may not actually want to hear you -- and they're using YOUR blog comments as a sound board. Ironic indeed.
- Tamar Weinberg
@Tamar: Ironic indeed but very natural. After all, people have been taught for a while now that blog comments can be used as an efficient marketing and promotional tool and so we see the results now.
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
The best way to network is to help other people. Also, that's the *only* way to promote yourself on other people's blogs -- leave an interesting comment, and put your URL in the space provided for that.

- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Nope. Far as trolls go, Igor's pretty cool. Very rarely I remove a comment or two, but he does have many good points. He's got his own room http://friendfeed.com/rooms... (38 members), where he feeds Robert Scoble (since Robert has blocked him). Cool strategy. If somebody blocks you, make a room & feed them into the room! My philosophy is "let live". FriendFeed allows you to (1) hide (2) moderate comments so it's pretty neat.

- Michael W. May
Yuvi, I do not Troll or pick on people. Also me exposing Robert has nothing to do with him blocking me. I did not even know who he was till a few months ago. Never said a bad word to him, but I did a post on him based on his hype of Chinese earthquake. He did not take the criticism warmly and started blocking me first on Twitter then on FF. He even made a public post about it. So I am not angry at him but just showing the community what he is.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I blocked Igor, but I haven't blocked Noah David Simon yet... Haven't heard too much from him lately though...
- Internet's Tad
@Mark @Tad When you block someone do you see their comments anywhere; i.e. do you see this post without Igor's 5 comments?
- Mitchell Tsai
I guess what really tipped me off was that he called me, "Anonymous blogger" I think all of us have an important opinion in the Social Media, small or big. None of us are anonymous. We all have rights and should be given respect.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Mitchell: I can see his comments via a search. I just checked: yeah, I'm still okay with my choice. The main problem I have with them is that they don't find anything inappropriate and they don't know when to quit.

@Igor: Yes, I know how labeling can hurt. But, my generation is rather label-hating, and while the previous generation does label people (heck, it's even government authorized to append your caste name to your name), we don't. Calling myself Yuvi Nadar would be an enormous order of fucking stupidity. Igor Berger would alleviate a lot of problems.

Yuvi when someone gives you a label, why not ware it? I was bone in Russia and for years as I ravel across he world in South America, Europe, Asia, and India I would tell people I am Russian, other times American because I grew up in USA. But people would say to me, "You are Israeli" And I would say, I only lived in Israel a few years. Yes I am an Israeli citizen, but I did not see myself as Israeli.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
It was very funny but in India, people would ask what country you belong to? I could no understand what they mean and would ask hem what country I am a citizen of? They repeated the question, What country you belong to?" Years later I learned he meaning of this question. Now I just tell people I am an Israeli. Even when I went to Egypt and Morocco I told people I am an Israeli. Just be proud of who you are.
