louisgray.com: How Facebook's News Feed Failed Me (And My Family) - http://blog.louisgray.com/2009...
BeeLing, Tyson Key, Jesse Stay and 4 other people liked this
Lite lätt bisarrt, men ok. Louis Gray är sur på Facebooks nya tudelade feed-flöden för att han missade att han blivit morbror - hans syster hade fött, men han hade missat det för att det inte dök upp i rätt feed. Men, borde han kanske inte fått reda på det ändå. Kanske?
- Joakim Jardenberg
Jag skulle inte säga "sur". Bara besviken. :)
- Louis Gray
Jag är seriöst förvirrad just nu. Pratar Louis Gray svenska? Must investigate, som en av mina andra idoler skulle ha sagt...
- Joakim Jardenberg
Haha, såklart. Nu kom svaret, på en fråga ställd på svenska: ”Jag talar inte svenska. Jag talar Google Translator. :)” Med uppföljningen: ”Jag tycker det är bra att besvara vänner från andra språk så bra som jag kan. ” och en länk till http://blog.louisgray.com/2009.... Ett inlägg jag läst och glömt bort...
- Joakim Jardenberg
Men det som lurade mig att inte tänka translator var den utsökta formuleringen, den välplacerade smileyn, tilltalet som kändes helt genuint. Mycket proffsigt. Hat tip, Mr Gray!
- Joakim Jardenberg
Tack. Hat tip till dig, Joakim!

Fwd: Looks like the connection between FriendFeed and Twitter is no longer real-time. Wonder who is to blame? (via http://friendfeed.com/carnage...)

It was previously mentioned as an issue on Twitter's side. FriendFeed is polling now.
- Louis Gray
what? It's OK now? Or is it true that "Paul Bucheit wrote that they no longer had access to Twitter's firehose, so it sounds like it may have had something to do with Facebook's acquiring them, but don't quote me on that. - Jorge Escobar"

I think both Louis and Jorge are saying the same thing

Right, I'd like to hear Paul or Bret confirm that.

Well, on a maybe related note, the Innovation Management Group (http://friendfeed.com/innovat...) has not updated for 24 hours now. That Group includes direct Twitter accounts, Twitter searches, Delicious RSS for a specific tag and SlideShares with a specific tag. No update at all for 24+ hours. Most odd and frustrating.
- Hutch Carpenter
also not finding older posts in search that used to be there. did this change too?
- Brooks Bayne
Twitter shut off the firehose, but made available a replacement API called birddog. We're about ready to switch that on (which will restore realtime Twitter updates), but are waiting on some final approvals from legal. I'm hoping it will all be resolved this week.

does the gmail sync with the iPhone not work for you?
- metalerik
metalerik: I have thousands of contacts in Gmail. They go out of date at a pretty rapid rate. For some reason people keep their Facebook contacts up to date.
- Robert Scoble
oh ok, makes sense especially at those numbers. Plus, my friends don't have access to my gmail contacts to keep their info up to date. That circles back to mixing different kinds of friends on one service.
- metalerik
Facebook is a great addition to any address book, but not a replacement. Once everyone has facebook it will replace the address book. Almost everyone has a phone number, but tens of millions of people are still without facebook in North America alone. I admit this is rapidly changing as Facebooks user base continues to rise.
- Garin Kilpatrick
The problem is Facebook is currently a closed Network so you can not searh it's content from Google so not really a good address book if you ask me.
- Rob Cairns
Rob, it's an address book for your friends, not the white/yellow pages.
- Andre P. Siregar
Palm thought of this when they developed Synergy for WebOS. This was a big advantage over other mobile OS. Then Facebook developed the 3.0 app for iPhone while not committing to enhance their app on WebOS (http://www.palminfocenter.com/news...). No more advantage for WebOS
- Andre P. Siregar
I'm in 100% agreement with this. I use a Blackberry, but feel the same way. People keep their info up to date on Facebook for the most part and it sync's to my phone. So do events and birthdays. LOVE it.
- frank barry
I do agree with your proposal but only for personal (F&F) use. Most of my corporate contacts are 40+ age and they're still getting used to the Facebook stuff (I'm living down south Equator Line, and it's more likely a cab driver had a Facebook account that a senior o C level manager -with the exception of people working in IT departments of course-). Hopefully they'll update their phones frequently too so that I won't have to track them down all the time.
- Marco ILLESCAS
I agree with Scoble that Gmail is really missing the boat here.
- Steve Rubel
Robert Scoble: If you set up the Google Sync on the iPhone as described here: http://www.google.com/mobile... then only the contacts in your "My Contacts" on the contacts list in GMail gets synced. It does take a little bit of initial setup to work well, but after you get it set up, it works brilliantly. When I sync my Facebook to my iPhone, the photos and such that I put on the phone then get auto-synced back to GMail as well via the Google Sync. Very clever.
- Otto
Well, as otto just said, I'm using Google Sync for iPhone. Any changes i make are instantly synced back to Google. Its also easaier to manage and merge contacts from Google's interface and sync them back to the iPhone. More groups would be a nice addition ( instead of having to search for contacts not in the synced group).
- Roberto Bonini
Syncing groups would be a *fantastic* addition to Google Sync. The iPhone supports contact groups natively, it just doesn't offer any interface to put contacts into groups by default (you can find apps that will do this in the app store.. ABContacts Lite comes to mind).
- Otto
Oh, one more thing that's very cool about Google Sync: It'll sync your Google Calendars to the calendar app on the iPhone. You can choose which calendars to sync, and Google Contacts recently added a birthday/anniversary feature, making an automatic calendar out of your contact's birthdays and such. That syncs to the iPhone as well.
- Otto
Nope. I can say definitively that Facebook will never be my address book, nor will any other online service. I may have bits and pieces on various networks, but to hold the master/superset, I trust only native access on a device I own and control. (not to mention how horrifying it would be, to me and my family and friends, to cough up my entire social graph to be pimped out for commercialization all in one place)
- LogEx
Facebook is not search able by Google. The content inside Google is closed. So how is this going to be an address book? Until they make the content searchable that will not happen
- Rob Cairns
I've been using Google sync for about a month now, ever since I got Google Voice and it's worked flawlessly so far. I'm amazed at how fast it pushes updates to the iPhone. It's almost instantaneous. I haven't tried the FaceBook integration yet and I'm reluctant to do so since I don't see any real benefit at this point.
- Mike Elliott
With this script (from Googler Brad Fitzpatrick) http://brad.livejournal.com/2398409..., you can sync your Facebook contacts with your Google Contacts. It works perfectly (merging existing contacts), it's very fast, very secure (Google API). Just awesome.
- Jérôme Flipo
Plaxo is a good alternative too. True, not everyone is there, lacking the network effect Facebook has. But integration with Address Book or Outlook is great and I find that people also maintain their info up-to-date. Thanks for those who mentioned the Google Sync, still using MobileMe and didn't want any additional sync to break everything. Might try it.
- Paul Papadimitriou
Yeah, I have a Plaxo account. A lot of my friends do too, but they never update their Plaxo information. In the end it's more than just the technology. People actually _use_ Facebook. Facebook is wise to capitalize this and strategize towards being your portal on the internet. It's something that Plaxo could never dream of.
- Andre P. Siregar
from email
Interesting topic because I had just migrated over from my OutLook/Palm combo to a Google Contacts (Gmail) / iPhone combo. The reason why I wanted to do this is because I think it is finally time to move my contacts from a physical machine to the cloud. The sync between Google Contacts and Calendar with the iPhone via Google Sync is quite seamless and I am getting to like it more and more everyday.
- Christopher Yeo
I use gmail/blackberry combo - the sync is almost perfect. Rather than use Highrisehq - I'm now trying to improvise gmail contacts+labels to do the same thing.
- Jose Paul Martin
Jose, the problem is that you can't search for contact groups, i.e you can't list contacts that are in two different groups/labels - e.g search for [group:(work AND nyc]. You can't do that either in Facebook. If you have a workaround for Google Contacts, please share!
- Jérôme Flipo
Just discovered a way to use Google Sync to get my Facebook Events automatically put into my iPhone. First, import your FB events into Google Calendar as a new calendar using these instructions: http://gr33ndata.blogspot.com/2007... then just set up Google Sync to sync that calendar as well.

curious yet skeptical regarding availability of a few artists i listen to. apoptygma berzerk, skold, iscintilla, birthday massacre, emilie autumn, hednoize, psychohed, kidney thieves, mdfmk etc... they're typically not on many library-style music services that try to be comprehensive. but again, i'm not on spotify's private beta to make an informed comment.
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
210 tracks from apoptygma berzerk. 18 from skold. 0 from iscintilla. 27 from birthday massacre. 1 from emilie autumn. 0 from hednoize. 0 from psychohed. 0 from kidney thieves. 11 from mdfmk.
- Louis Gray

Louis: It's about to go portable though. The iPhone app is due to come out in the coming week and the Android app is quite far gone as well.
- Gabriel
Looking forward to it, period.
- Louis Gray
blackfeathers: Like you, I listen to a lot of subgenre-music and underground stuff, and I don't find everything i want, unfortunately. But the surprising upside to this is that I've come to discover a lot more music that I like when I'm forced to find "alternatives".
- Gabriel
Now I am listening to apoptygma berzerk. :) your fault... sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
- Louis Gray
It still lacks the catalogue for me but I listen to lots of not so popular artists and songs. It's a great service though, I've been playing with it again this week.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'd like to be able to bring in your local MP3s also, on network drives etc. This is actually the main reason I still use iTunes. Enjoy the service though for music I have not purchased in my own catalogue.
- Travis Koger
But if you want free music you can't complain about Spotify! I wish it had a recommendation engine though and the ability to import your other playlists and re-create them, as best it can, in Spotify.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, I thought it had playlist sharing... couldn't this be a defacto recommendation engine?
- Travis Koger
It's still not available in India. Sad. :(
- Faraz Mullick
Bob Dylan is gone from Spotify. Too bad.
- Rubin Sfadj

Travis, sorry I meant like the Last.fm recommendation. It recommending new artsts/songs based on our playlists or tracks we've 'liked'. I'm always after new songs. Their 'radio' is very random.
- Kol Tregaskes
And I'd like to have my playlists from iTunes ported to Spotify - I'd rather not manually recreate them all again.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah I understood what you meant, but couldn't people just have a playlist in Spotify called 'Song Recommendations', then share that. Other users would then be able to look through the recommendations. I agree though a good recommendation engine would be beneficial.
- Travis Koger
It's amazing isn't it... be better if there were slightly less adverts though... I'm too cheap to pay the premium rate.
- Rich
Re the adverts, you can sort of get around that by clicking on a new song rather than let the playlist do it for you... I know that it sort of defeats the purpose, but if you are too cheap to go premium or listen to the ads then it does provide a workaround ;)
- Travis Koger
Travis, yeah user's recommendations would be nice too.
- Kol Tregaskes
Aaah, now you have said user recommendation I now understand properly what you meant earlier (and realise that I did not understand it properly earlier ;))... you are talking about something like iTunes Genius etc.
- Travis Koger
Yep. While on iTunes Genius does that only recommend songs in your playlists only or should it recommend songs I don't have? When I select a tune and hit Genius it lists other vaguely related songs I have already. It would be more useful if it showed new songs.
- Kol Tregaskes
As for it's catalogue, I tried to recreate my 25 tunes of the moment: http://ff.im/6diug and it only had 13 of them. It's missing the likes of Boxer Rebellion - Misplaced, Snake River Conspiracy - Breed and The Prodigy - Warrior's Dance. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
I cannot get because it says it's not available in my country.
- Damond Nollan
spotify song recommendation / discovery works really well with 3rd party websites like http://sharemyplaylists.com/ you can also cut'n'paste the playlist urls to share like this one spotify:user:iamnottheenemy:playlist:3LWd6ZTnj5lg7tqEAW4eJm

Spotify's library does hold a lot of song. Some millions, I read somewhere on their blog. But it definitely doesn't offer all my favorite albums and songs.

Interesting: Wave is more than just rich text documents.

First thoughts - Wave is a fresh take on communication with an ability to sweep up my conversations - email, IMs, blogs, comments into the cloud - wikify it, and provide DVR functionality on the top of it.... with a disruptive impact on the real time stream makers.
- Nagesh C
Nagesh it's very complicated and I wonder if there's enough value there. We've repeatedly seen simplicity win. And it's not clear if a federated model can carry off the slick interfaces over aggregate data that people have become accustomed too. FF or FB or Twitter can iterate very fast to add new features. Wave will be much slower.

I'm not addicted. Although what I would say is that the internet has provided a new medium to connect and find services in a more convenient manner
- Nicholas James
Same here, it's work, entertainment, a source of news and information, I pay my bills, do my food shopping, communicate with people, listen to music and so much more. It's not an addiction but it's a tool which allows me to do things I want and need to do.

@zee: but what you just said to rochelle perpetuates this myth - so i ask again - how is the web incompatible with "work" ? i've hired and managed countless people and i'd no more consider removing the web from their workday than I would pens or telephones. would you let your staff use telephones? this was a serious line of discussion in the 50s amongst "managers": "can we trust...

I suffer the corporate fate of (no)Websense and find it interesting how companies draw the line on certain types of websites, that actually can be relevant to their day-job. It's not a black and white situation. Sure there are exceptions that can be made for valid business reasons, but it's just all too much of a hassle.

I want to know which is better for cloud server hosting, between amazon and rackspace or any other good cloud server hosting company. - http://www.linkedin.com/answers...
Paula Marttila, Nicholas James, Winston Teo and 4 other people liked this
assuming you mean dedicated servers specifically: mosso only supports some linux distros. amazon supports linux, windows, and open solaris. EDIT: just noticed you said "or any other good cloud server hosting company" -- take a look at GoGrid (http://gogrid.com). they have windows server 2008, unlike amazon ec2 which is limited to windows server 2003.
- Karim
Hard to say without knowing your requirements.
- Todd Hoff
Kevin, wasn't sure what you mean about taking an Amazon server anywhere? if you mean AMI portability, i don't have any experience with that... i was just pointing out the limited choice of OS on mosso cloud servers and the wider choice available on amazon... :-)
- Karim
yeah that's a scary link, Kevin! :-) i briefly tried to find some corroborating information (it can't be THAT bad!) but it's very confusing -- people are conflating Rackspace (various kinds of hosting) with Mosso, and Mosso Cloud Sites with Mosso Cloud Servers. this http://status.mosso.com/ did not give me warm fuzzy feelings.
- Karim
i think i just figured it out -- the author is complaining about Mosso Cloud *Sites.* all the limitations make sense because it *is* basically shared hosting (a la Windows Azure). Cloud Sites scale automagically, but not Cloud Servers. the comparable product to Amazon EC2 is Mosso Cloud *Servers,* which i suspect *do* include root access... or so i hope!

tried both options before. works with the limitation that the proxies slowed down my connection from 2 Mbit to ~700 Kbit leading to some bumps in the stream.

I used to use Hotspot shield for Hulu but got tired of the banner that wouldn't disapper from browser together with slow connection. Still thinks it good for safety reasons.

@paula: try hotspot together with hulu on boxee. the banners disappear and open a really nice experience linked to your tv.

"Everyone is buzzing about social media, some of us are blazing into new territory while others are simply exploding in frustration. Will social media be the spark that changes how communication occurs? Are the spectators in the crowd cheering in applause or screaming in unknowing terror? We can only sharpen our intellect and maneuver a realm of uncharted territory. The simple truth of the matter is that no one knows. The numbers shed some dim light on the traditional communications model. Just remember: numbers only define one aspect of the way the communication landscape is evolving."

or is it really just the same old communications, only in electronic, mini-bite form? A lot of twitter chatter is the same stuff I used to see floating through my email systems 8 or 9 years ago, only it is public now.

Social Media platforms need to get a clue and deliver a more targeted experience. Then the geeks can still roam widely as we do and the mainstream can immediately get value out of them too. I blogged about how that could work at http://www.growmap.com/monetiz...
- Internet Strategist
To get anywhere twitter and other services would need to hit mainstream. They haven't. (Closest is Facebook IMO). However I don't think we'll see a SNAP and instantly all of this will happen. Having a website was a luxury or a risk-taking step for a while before they became "mainstream" for non-geeks. I think the same has to happen, and will, here. Just not as fast as geeks and marketers want to see.
- David Bisset (sn)
We must realize that many businesses (espcially SMB market) are just now (or still havent) figuring out how to use the web for business - the social media aspect will take several more years to go "mainstream"
- andy brudtkuhl
Which is good for us that can pioneer the space before it gets diluted by the mainstream
- andy brudtkuhl
Two things have to happen for anything to go mainstream; 1) It has to offer an easily understood and OBVIOUS benefit to the user 2) There need to be enough early adopters willing to teach those who refuse to read and can't figure things out by themselves. The vast majority require one-on-one tutoring - and there has to be a benefit for them to get most to bother to teach their friends and family.
