Interesting - did you know you can subscribe to users on Twitter in Google Reader by just typing their username in the subscribe box?

Yup. Google Reader is perfect and amazing.

And yes, I do subscribe to some Twitter users on Google Reader :-) (The Google Reader Team should take note of that - there's a use-case there)

Hang on...so let's get this straight. Google Reader is perfect *and* amazing, Friendfeed is dead but better-than-ever and Twitter will out-Ad Facebook? #tryingtokeepup
- WorldofHiglet
I stopped using Google Reader for following Twitter RSS and have been using FriendFeed instead... FF has become my newsreader.

How would you like a credit on next year’s tax bill? The United States Internal Revenue Service is offering tax credits up to 30% of your cost for solar installations and other energy saving systems (to a maximum of $1,500) for the tax years 2009 and 2010.

Regulate in haste, repent at leisure
- Kevin Marks
"According to FDIC's own statistics as of June, 2008, 98% of all depositors at FDIC-insured banks were covered by the $100,000 limit." Well that's a bit silly. People with more than $100K to put in the bank deliberately spread it across multiple accounts to keep them FDIC insured. If you're married you can keep $300K in a single bank by spreading it across three accounts: His, Hers and...

Anyone have the video somewhere other than Youtube? it's banned here in Turkey and I can't wait until we get home (next month) to watch it!!

Major props to Ross and Dan. FriendFeed lives on

That's priceless. Great job, guys.

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

Great project!

I think they need to make a full stop-motion version of the Matrix in legos. Now THAT would be awesome. I wonder what bullet-time looks like in LEGO?

Apple event today = fail. The hype expectations have finally caught up with them.

If you were expecting the Beatles, then yes, it was FAIL. But the new iTunes that lets you reorganize your iPhone is absolutely full of WIN!
- Joey Gibson
Meet my expectations.
- ChiliMac
(rolls eyes) This happens every single event and every single keynote. You have some delighted and many others who buzzed themselves up. The smarter thing to do is be neutral and see what shows up.
- Louis Gray
Totally agree: people talking about Tablets, about an online version of iTunes "à la Spotify"... and what do we get? An iPod Nano with a camera?
- Jordi Soler
SCIENCE.
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
Obviously some cool stuff, but this is the first iPod announcement I haven't thought "Oooh, I really want get me one of these."
- Jared B. Luther
The speculation about an Apple tablet came from an analyst who admitted it was just speculation. But that was enough for lot of people to bank on it as if it were a fact. If Apple had to deny every incorrect rumor, it'd have to hire its own PR agency just for that. Still, I don't think the event was a fail because it was pretty huge that Jobs ran the show himself.
- Ed Moltzen
Yeah, Steve's recovery was the best part. But you have to admit there was so much buzz for this one that one can't help but feel disappointed. It feels as if the "Apple era" is starting to fade...
- Jordi Soler
Expectations are by definition personal. If yours were low, this event exceeded them. If yours were high, this event was underwhelming. Whose fault is it if the hype is high? Apple's? I don't think so. I'm impressed with the number of things they announced today.
- Stephen Mack
whetes my portable reality distortion field?!

The headline from the press release for the event should be APPLE SHIPS JOBS 2.0
- Steve Rubel
from email
*It feels as if the "Apple era" is starting to fade... * - hahaha.. love that..
- Andy Connell

I wrote a paper in my AP English class in high school about how this circular nature of parties takes place. At the moment the Republican party has pretty much moved so far to the right it's almost flaming liberal (again, think of it as a circle).

how much longer till the Republican Party splits, or has it already happened and no one noticed?

Aaman, both parties are very split. There's just no good way of organizing the split.
- Jesse Stay
Sounds like what's happening in India - centre-right party in Opposition is imploding, the centre-left party in power (the Congress(I) is consolidating power and delivering credible governance, just re-elected after full term.

Hmm, that's an interesting topic for an article - note to self

Tad, sounds like you need to be Libertarian.
- Jesse Stay
Libertarians are still a little too far left of middle for my taste. I agree with some Social liberalism, but not to the extent of extreme libertarianism. Republicans are too far right for my taste. I need something right down the middle.
- Jesse Stay
Been there, done that Jesse. For a while in the 90s I considered myself to be a hardcore anarcho-capitalist. I've realized over the years that a Libertarian government isn't suited to my own desires for humanity. The role of government should be to help hasten technological improvement and thus the Singularity. But then, I'm weird like that.

I'm rather irked that my own school district has opted to not show this speech live.

I remember watching these as a kid and feeling rather proud to be an American each and every time.

Kimber: Where do I say Twitter is better. It just is. And FriendFeed brings out whatever that is.

Steve - Twitter is better at giving voice to teeth whitening moms and life coaches. You can't use Twitter without using some sort of third-party thing. (I use Tweetdeck and FF.)

- anna sauce
No offense, Steve, but I'd like someone with a big following to review FriendFeed who actually knows how to use it. Perhaps the ease-of-use is way past these folks? I doubt it. Or whip out the old "I don't have time/ I have a job." Yet, these people spend their time reviewing, and using, technology. So.... still unclear on why the non-power-users are reviewing it.
- anna sauce
As I said, I'm not a geek and I had no trouble figuring FriendFeed out. It's really not that hard. Really. Actually, it's easier than Twitter. First: You don't have to figure out what it's for. You "get it" right away. It's obviously a communication tool. Second: if you want to jump in on a conversation, which you can actually have on FriendFeed, and as I did with this one, you don't...

- Kimber Scott
anna I am a power user. Kimber I love FriendFeed but also know why it exists. How hard is it to understand that there is a hugely dynamic symbiotic relationship between the two platforms, dominated by Twitter's reach and FF's depth. Holden, the point was to communicate, which it definitely is doing. And even developers like Dave choose not to explain some of what they write. Activia means what?
- Steve Gillmor
Activia is a company that makes yogurt that aids in getting the bowels flowing...
- Ryan
So, Steve, what you're saying then is there is a symbiotic relationship between a parasite on a pimple on an ass and a body as a whole? That seems like a one way relationship to me and it doesn't reflect kindly on FriendFeed. So, I guess what I don't get, getting back to my original comment, is how you can love FriendFeed and still call it a parasitic ass-pimple eater.
- Kimber Scott

Ryan ahh thanks I use Metamucil when I have that problem, but this piece came easily

Kimber it's a reference to the original post, and it represents a size relationship in the post Oprah Twitterscape. And one organism's pimple is another's home sweet home. I love host and tenant, one more than the other -- which you'll have to ask elsewhere for the "answer."

- Chris Heath
Guess it's nice that you think you're a power user, but you haven't really shown here that you are. Upset with the "gasbag" of FF? Follow new people. Create lists. Get off the main feed. Trim your subscriptions. You can't complain about the content (well, I can) unless you either know the various ways around it. Then you can complain. Otherwise, it just seems that you, like most of the people reviewing FF, have no idea how to use it.

This whole thread is one the funniest things I have read in a long time, including the post that started it all! Thanks to everyone.

I commented on Steve's article, because I felt there was way more he could have written about the actual problem, the DDoS attack. However, there is one thing that bugs even me sometimes. It's one thing to have the best platform amongst social media, but it needs to be demonstrated in times like this. Needs a few more people using the strengths of FF to do a bit of citizen journalism.
- George Hall (Australia)
Alberto, that's exactly my concern in the future as Friendfeed grows. As mass mainstream enters, quality the way we think of it decreases to Twitter Trending Topics.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
ianf: no. anna: what makes you think gasbag is not a term of endearment? George: it's really simple, FF's fault. Chris: I don't use search except as a spell checker, and I trust Dave WIner's spelling implicitly.

It's almost like you're an artist who's painted a mess and is being vague about it with the hope that people might get the impression it must really "mean" something. Twitter goes down from a DOS attack and you Blame FriendFeed, but you love FriendFeed. You sound like my ex-husband.

I think most people would prefer to work this way, but it is worth noting how difficult that can be at a large, well-known company: individuals, the press and Wall St are trying to read something into every little thing you say or do, there are SEC rules to worry about, and so forth. I feel lucky that I work mostly on open source stuff at Google, so this doesn't affect me most of the time.

- Chris Myles
chrismyles: some of the issues are cultural and others are technical. google support discussions used to be mailing lists, and wading through so many messages is time consuming. since moving to their forum system, the level of responses have improved somewhat and it seems the staff is better able to pick out topics to reply. the friendfeed platform is even better, and allows topics the community thinks are important to receive a higher priority.
- Mike Chelen
from IM
Mike, I guess we'll have to see.. What I love about FF is it makes it easier for ME to keep track of all my discussions in a single spot. Google's new support discussions require me to visit each group independently; there is no central location where I can monitor all my questions. It might be easier for Google but it's harder for me.. If only they all used friendfeed!!
- Chris Myles
So Bret, what do you think of the resulting app? Now you've got even more reasons to be interested!!
- Chris Myles
Chris: indeed those are the sort of technical or design capabilities that can restrict or enhance the effectiveness for users of a platform. both google and friendfeed have dedicated and skilled staff, yet here they are more able to communicate efficiently with relatively greater numbers of people.
