Video Demo: How to Use Lazyfeed for Real-time RSS Feeds By Topic - http://www.louisgray.com/live...

brilliant video on Lazyfeed now I am going to use it properly
- Thomas Power
True, Holden. I try to use my fake voice. :) (You haven't heard the voice-overs on the twin videos?)
- Louis Gray
why is LazyFeed invite only?
- Damir Zubović
Damir, LazyFeed is invite only because I am not in charge. Ethan and Claire know I would like to open it up to everyone.
- Louis Gray
Tnx for info. Greetings from Slovenia.
- Damir Zubović
Your password's too short :-P
- Jesse Stay
the word "password" is too short?
- Louis Gray
:) :)
- Damir Zubović
Louis, yes.
- Jesse Stay
BTW, what screen capture software are you using?
- Jesse Stay
I hand-coded my own screen capture software using a derivative of Objective C, mixed with .Net and AJAX, Jesse.
- Louis Gray
Louis, I need an iPhone app then - will you build me one?
- Jesse Stay
but seriously, what screen capture software did you use to make that?
- Jesse Stay
Snapz Pro X: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utiliti...
- Louis Gray
Very nice - thank you sir.
- Jesse Stay
More video demos == good, btw

We're honored to be your first guinea pig for the screencasting :) You should do this often.
- Ethan Gahng
greta video - got straight to the point :)

Hi Louis Thanks for the heads up about Lazyfeed. I have tried to register but it needs an invitation code. Can you or anyone in your network please let me know what I should put in? Thanks
- Jane Finch
Very well done, I now have a better understanding of how it works. Anymore invites? Thanks
- Mo Hall
why doesn't Lazyfeed have a feed for FF?
- Thomas Power
Thomas, Lazyfeed's founders are just now getting to understand FriendFeed better. Maybe with time.
- Louis Gray
cool thank you
- Thomas Power
LazyFeed looks great.! Thanks for this video Louis, super interesting (I like your fast pace too). Would love an invite if you have 1.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Hi, thanks everyone for your interest in Lazyfeed. We are excited to tell you that we will be releasing more invite codes via Twitter today. To receive your invite, please follow @lazyfeed on twitter and we will DM you an invite code. This invitation will expire midnight PST. Thank you!
- Lazyfeed
I will have to check this out. I admit that the point of it was not immediately obvious the first few times I used it.
- Bill Kinney
Louis, thanks for this wonderful quick tutorial. I am off to experimenting with Lazyfeed now. I wonder how you use it in conjunction with GReader, since I also find you sharing lot of stuff on GReader as well.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Awesome demo, finally got a chance to watch it.
- Bill Kinney
Love lazyfeed so far, but it won't connect with my Twitter acct even after I set up and click connect - only Flicr, etc..Anyone else have this issue.
- Liza
Liza - I've just tried connecting your twitter to my lazyfeed and it seems to be successfully bringing tags like lazyweb, trip, techkaraoke, etc. Please try again. Thanks.
- Ethan Gahng
Now that is GREAT customer service, Ethan. Thanks.. I want to learn more about lazyweb and ppl interacting from lazyfeed. Seeing it from my google dev friends. Any ideas?

- Bindu Reddy
Try http://code.google.com/p... until waiting.
- Stoyan Zhekov
Bindu, its quite good. Integration of applications is seemless. Have been testing on Chrome dev and stable builds.Multiple conversation display on the right hand navigation is a different experience.
- Amit Mehta
Anyone here testing the server given by Stoyan? I've just created an account. I'm Brome on it.
- Brome
Stoyan--awesome! Love your warning about the analytics, too! Might give that a whirl tomorrow. Thanks!
- Kathy Fitch
@Brome - I wasn't impressed with their own test deployment of PyGoWave, initially (although I don't have any contacts on it). Google released their own initial version of a server recently, although installation and configuration is a case of "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" so I've discovered. Feed free to add me on PGM though (vmlemon).
- Tyson Key
Can someone send me an invite, please.... Micahkilgore@gmail.com
- micah kilgore
If anybody has a spare invite could you send it my way daryl@learnscapepro.com :)

Custom Themes for Posterous. Also supports Tumblr themes OTB.

Not official yet I think, but the screenshot is real and provides some info. The "Porting Tumblr" tab explains that you can use Tumblr themes as is, but all Tumblr blocks in the code won´t be supported at first.

Where is the screenshot from?
- Daniel Sims
Looks exciting! I'm glad we'll be able to do completely custom themes from the beginning.
- Andrew
@Daniel: Just add "/theming" to your Posterous url :) (http://posterous.com/theming) Not visible in settings yet though. EDIT: Blocked now.

that'll be great if there comes a WYSIWYG creater tool for this...

Can't wait!!!
- Rubin Sfadj
The folks at Posterous are really hard at work. I haven't seen anything exciting coming out of Tumblr lately
- Andre P. Siregar
Wow! That's really cool!
- Svartling
Can we use widgets and javascript code?
- Svartling
I think it will spawn quite a large number of available themes and probably cannibalize Tumblr quite a bit. @Garry: Sorry, but it wasn't a very well kept secret;) Google blogsearch showed it to me on a search I had surrounding Posterous.

So, when does this theming feature become available? ;-)
- Rubin Sfadj
So are we any closer to getting an official date for the launch of custom themes? Or have I overlooked something?

They could have custom backgrounds just to tide us over. Full themes may already be possible if the API is good enough.

I can't help but think of "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" here. If memory serves, Andy's character just came into a small windfall, and his plans included getting a *second* TV for the bedroom, which he would mount sideways beside his bed so he could watch TV while lying on his side.

Tweets wave blips to twitter, and displays tweets from it. Live Demo* | Source Code Robot Address: tweety-wave@appspot.com Many of you may have seen Tweety (tweety-wave@appspot.com) in action through either trying out the robot yourself or watching the Google Wave developer preview from Google I/O. The robot signs into your Twitter account and lets you fetch your Twitter timeline and post tweets from Google Wave. However, because Tweety was built as a quick demo for Google I/O, its initial authentication scheme involved passing a user's username and password in plain-text around Wave, which offered very little security. We put together an OAuth library to extend the Java Robot API that allows for secure authentication using 3-legged OAuth. (See oauth.net for a detailed explanation of the authorization flow). Users log in directly to a service provider and are given an access token, which is stored in the Google App Engine datastore. We also changed Tweety to use OAuth. The OAuth library is open source and packaged with the Java Robot API, so feel free to use it for your own robots!

Perhaps Google is to Skype as search is to content producers? Content producers create value but its Google that sits at the center of the web, clicking mandibles, and collecting rents from whomever steps onto a silken thread.
- Todd Hoff
Sure.... Also, someone said that google is going to disrupt a $150 billion telecom industry. Well that was disrupted with the IP networks. I think to think Google can do it all is childish. After today they will go on the defense with their search-and-advertising business. I refuse to believe (without proof) that they can do well in a competitive market place.

Wait, what fears don't you think Google will ever be able to overcome?
- Matt Cutts
Matt... I think we have argued about this before. :-) So at the sake of repeating myself, why should I believe that Google Voice (and Google Wave) going to take over the world. Just because Google says so? The real world success is yet to happen -- first signs of that are yet to happen. And when that happens we can have a nice conversation - over Fraiche with Scoble as referee.
- Om Malik
Ah.... I love FF for having a way to expand my last Twitter reply. The ridiculous depends on the temporal view. In the US market -a- CLEC for Google Voice is Level 3. Today. Now, imagine DID deprecation. *BOOM* Yes, that's right. All the weight that ENUM has never had could have with the flip of switch that AOL mouthed for years with limited take. Leverage applied to the millions of accounts as a "by the way" menu item is the kind of latent functionality we may see. The war of endpoints is yet to come.
- Jay Cuthrell
1. Google releases Android, the absolute best OS ever 2. Google sets up free wireless broadband using White Spaces (deployed cheaply worldwide using the FON model) 3. Android phones/Tablets and Chrome OS Laptops on White Spaces means the end of Telecoms and ISPs. All this can happen in the matter of a few months.
- Charbax
Charbax.... I think you would *like" it to happen :-) but that doesn't mean it would happen. As they say, in a matter of months I could star in a blockbuster movie. Except it isn't happening any time soon. :-D
- Om Malik
As for Google Wave, it changes the way we work, communicate, collaborate. Effectively replacing email, blogging, im, word processing, web browsing, feed reading, microblogging, even changes the way we search. Puts twitter and facebook instantly out of business.
- Charbax
4. The nice day at the telecom park picnic runs smack into Congressional, FCC, and FTC quagmire that makes up the US market's very own colony of ants. All circuits are busy. Please try your call again later.
- Jay Cuthrell
Telecoms are backwards and lack the ability to innovate. They have grown fat, not having to compete. Apple came in and created the App Store, something the walled garden telecoms could have done at any time. I don't have confidence in Google so much as I have no faith in telecom.
- Todd Hoff
Okay Om... no hits. http://www.imdb.com/find... What's your stage name?
- Jay Cuthrell
When they activate overlay advertising for anyone who wants it on their uploads to Youtube (not just a few beta testers so-called "Partners"), they will be taking over Hollywood and the TV networks as well. The GigaOm show automatically becomes a blockbuster.
- Charbax
Om, I don't recall Google saying that Google Voice would take over the world. Since I've been using Voice, I've found 2-3 killer features for me. The ability to pick a great phone number. The ability to record a call easily (I've already used this a lot) and get an MP3 of the call. And the ability to mark calls as spam--then future calls from that number get an "out-of-service" tone....
more...
- Matt Cutts
Om - no worries... late for me as well. I just realized you are using email vs. the FF web interface. My context was the "star in a blockbuster movie" reference.
- Jay Cuthrell
Matt - Google Voice is collectively raising the bar of expectation for every other enhanced voice service out there. Many Google Voice features are associated with small nimble voice appliance companies as well as hosted IP centrex services. However, most are tied to silos of authentication or realms (enterprise). My view? VoIP is a race to zero commodity. Just as the charge for email market has seen rapid adjustment in value/price in the wake of Gmail, Google Voice will similarly impact voice markets.
- Jay Cuthrell
jay just to be clear, the email market was down to zero a long time ago. Google just changed the game from a storage stand point. I think you are right about Google Voice commoditizing voice minutes, but that has already happened. Nothing new there. I just think it is going to be much harder for Google to get traction than most think.

Sure -- the email storage play is prominent but... I'm less interested in SIP O/T as much as the feature sets exposed for free by Google Voice. It's that blend of features that have formed something of a last hope for appliance and centrex solution providers as a licensed key or allowance in a bundle. Google Voice sets that feature set on that same approaching zero path. Don't forget that Gmail blended spam and virus filtering, POP/IMAP, and other premium features in a free bundle -- much more impacting.
- Jay Cuthrell
As for traction -- total agreement. Highly overt and persistent appearance of Voice buttons on everything that is a web property would be a nice start down the path --- but it's a mobile handset world.
- Jay Cuthrell
Maybe it's because eBay somehow managed to not buy all of Skype: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
- Joel Webber
I'd say it's because GV can also be introduced to customers already using other Google services at minimal advertising cost... "would you like to add a phone number to your Gmail?". GV customers probably won't churn like Skype customers; GV can keep them around w/ other strong services they can't leave like Gmail, Google contacts, sign-on, etc. GV > Skype in those regards.

With tr.im going down, it's another reason to look at creating your own url shortener service like myself and others have done. Read how to here: http://s1w.us/createshort

Interesting. A person can now be charged for *public* drunkenness in their own home.
- EricaJoy
I don't want to make assumptions about exactly what happened, but it does seem noteworthy that all of the charges against this couple are of the sort that can't be easily disproven. Public drunkenness in his own backyard? Do they have a BAC measurement to prove that? Assaulting an officer? When her husband's just been tased three times *in your own yard*, *in front of your children*,...

- Joel Webber
Just to be clear: I have had a number of friends who were cops, or who had family members who were, and I have the utmost respect for the very difficult job they do. I just expect them to be reasonable to the people in their communities, and not tase-happy. A little respect on both sides of the equation would go a long way.

Tasers are supposed to be an alternative to lethal force, not an alternative to regular police work.

Mac Sharp, vijay, Johnny and 22 other people liked this
There are three general types of lenses for a camera: normal or standard, wide angle, and telephoto. The focal length of a normal lens for a 35 mm SLR camera is approximately 50 mm. A standard or normal lens produces a picture with a perspective similar to the human eye. The focal length of a wide angle lens is any measurement less than 50 mm, but is typically 28 mm. A wide angle lens...

The focal length of a camera lens is the distance between the center of the lens and the film when an in-focus image is formed of an object very far away. The focal length of a camera lens is displayed on the barrel of the lens along with the measurement of the largest aperture and the maker. The focal length of a lens establishes the field of view of the camera. The shorter the focal...

i will reread that 100 times derrick and see if I absorb it, thanks. What's a 17-40mm lens or 28-300mm? Is it like 28 to 300mm? Is there a lens number that's recommend for general use?
- Steve C
It depends on what you want to shoot. A 17-40 or a 28-300 is a lens that is capable of shooting within those focal lengths. So yes..as 28-300 can shoot from 28mm all the way to 300. Careful though, just because you get that range doesnt mean you will ultimately get the most for your purchase. I stray away from lens that give me all that....but there are many that do not. A classic...

also generally speaking...primes....or a lens with one focal length ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 400 etc have the sharpest optics. again, this is dependent on the quality glass we are discussing. Also there are a ton of photographers on FF....expect more responses on the matter.
- Carlos Ayala
oooh! thanks for explaining crop factor. I have the xti as well. I could never figure it out. now I get it!
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
And then there's also the "speed" of the lens or f stop, which tells you how much light it brings to the sensor. The lower the f stop of the lens the shorter the shutter speed that can be used with a given amount of light. This is also why primes are typically better. A 50mm prime with an f of 1.8 will allow you to shoot using a faster shutter speed (which reduces blur) in lower light...

The f stop of the lens is also typically given on the lens. A zoom lens will usually have a range of f like this Canon lens on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Canon-5... It has an f range from 4 to 5.6. This means that as you make the lens longer, the less light it can bring in to the sensor and so you'll either have to increase the lighting you have or decrease the shutter speed to get the shot

Thank you much Carlos and Alex and Derrick. I looked up some cameras as recommended by Consumer Reports last night the headache that soon followed means i probably need to continue my education some more first.
- Steve C
When I was first starting out in photography I found these tutorials and their associated helpful diagrams incredibly useful: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutoria...
- Mark H
Consumer Reports is a horrible place to research cameras. I'd look at http://www.dpreview.com and elsewhere.
- Alex Scoble
A little late to the party but I'll add that lenses capable of large apertures (f/2.8 and below) also tend to be large and heavy compared to their slower counterparts. f/4 lenses generally give you the best blend of speed and size/weight. As for what range is recommended for general use, there's a reason why most DSLR manufacturers bundle 18-55mm lenses (effective 27 or 29 to 83 or 89...

I thought about having such a frame displayed in a corner of the room each time we throw a party with my friends. So that everyone can see what the others are FFing or brightkiting from the party. Using a special hashtag and the search function to display it in the frame, for instance.
