Not your typical startup incubator: @springboardnews Awesome initiative in Cambridge, UK!

there's got to be a catch, right?
- Adrian
I know the the Red Gate guys behind this and there isn't a catch as far as I know. Some of my friends have been doing their startup with them like this for a few months. I didn't know Red Gate wanted to "formalize" this by giving it a name and publicizing it.

Just posted comment on HN about being an HR (finding recruits) and R&D (obtaining ideas) exercise. I wonder if something like this would ever run on the back of a VC... funding if something takes off.

The Twitter Psychology feed has been unsubscribed for posting a Cligs link - all users of Cligs will be unsubscribed or blocked - that is all
Hi William. I'm the owner of Cligs and I'd like to understand the crashes you're seeing with Cligs. Please contact me on pierre AT cli.gs. Thanks!
- Pierre
when users post a link, it creates a whole VERY long page of what looks like advertising for what Cligs are and do (have never seen the whole list since it freezes the program), which then causes a script error in Firefox that often freezes it so bad I have to shut it down and restart - this has happened in Friendfeed, Facebook, and Twitter - it happened again just a few moments ago in a Twitter new follower - her top item was a Cligs link that crashed Twitter
- William Harryman
Thanks for that. Can you tell me if you are using a FF extension to expand short URLs. Other users have reported what seems to be a similar problem when using a short URL expanding Greasemonkey script.
- Pierre
not using any scripts on Friendfeed, and I use Power Twitter for Twitter - and again, no link shorteners of Facebook
- William Harryman
Thanks. I think I know what's going on. I'll ping you later today.

Still crashing in Twitter - here is the script error message I get: "Script: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/William%20Harryman/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/g368hiwh.default/extensions/%7B3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c%7D/components/bootstrap.js -> file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/William%20Harryman/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/g368hiwh.default/extensions/%7B3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c%7D/lib/toolbar.js:407"

LACK . OF . TOOLs for FILTERING noise! Signal is a constant struggle to hone in on. Real Time web requires constant maintenance. Like caring for an infant child~! overwhelming, too much info. Constant fear that i'll miss something "BIG" and important. More pressure to KNOW EVERYTHING and publish / post about asap.
- Susan Beebe
Roy: oh, I've been living in the "too much content" world for years now. Heheh. I think the next year's big trend will be filtering. I gotta show you what I'm doing with friendfeed's filters (aka saved searches). Maybe next week after I get some sleep.

So much disorganized content. FriendFeed helps with this but not with the fragmentation of friends. There are so many networks, it's difficult to get everyone on the same page. It's almost a full time job to keep track of everything.
- Brandon Titus
conversation is often too decentralized / splintered. also there's more "me too" duplication of content and need for filters to weed out the gold from the noise.
- C. K. Sample III
I don't feel like I "own" my data. And by that, I mean a physical copy. With Blogger, I could FTP my posts to my own server. With FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Google, etc. it's mainly all stored on their servers. To get a copy for myself, I'd need to use their APIs to grab a copy. Otherwise, if they go down permanently, it's all lost in the cloud. (Apart from online caches and backups in other services.)

Noise, way too many services and a lack of proper integration of the usable ones. OK, glad to have FriendFeed and i am using it upmost now, but some friends still not ... so segmentation of contacts is another drawback for me.

Fragmentation. I never know where to post somthing (Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook) and I never know where to comment (on the source blog, reply to tweets, comment on FriendFeed or Facebook). Sharing stuff makes the fragmentation even worse. If a handful of people share something I've written, trying to keep up with the conversation is a nightmare. Back in the old days, people would just email a link to the original copy to all their friends. That used to keep the conversation in one place.
- Tony Ruscoe
Robert: thank you very much... you are more then right!!! after discovering - time to filter has to come. but staying focussed is really one of the biggest issues for me... so many interesting people, so many new ideas! everytime i check back - i get lost in another amazing topic!!!

The "2010 web" is a business model whereby the major players are profiting off the content of others, instead of creating it themselves.

Robert, I'm a huge fan of Cli.gs. Its free, has metrics, hits by date, country, referer statistics, if a search bot found your URL, when your URL gets RT, or on FF. When the destination URL is on Delicious. Plus one URL can redirect to a different page according to country IP. http://cli.gs/jcf

i've been with mosso since march and would be happy to speak with anyone considering the service - it's MUCH better in the last couple of months - but there are some limitations to consider

I did the free month trial at mosso. During that period, they changed the pricing model twice and the number of sites involved would have made it complex to deal with. Pierre says and I agree the interface for admin was awful. Not talking looks , talking wasting time.

Mosso is good for basic sites, but if you have some more complicated functions you might find their limitations frustrating. For example I had a 3 million record database they simply couldn't import easily (I had to do it remotely over a few days, what I could have done in about an hour had I had command line capabilities). Support is good for basic stuff, but I've gotten a few RTFM replies (which meant they didn't know either). Still, it's a good deal for many users--a bit easier than S3 I think.

- Mike Shields
What comes after Web 2.0? Or to rephrase, What is Web 3.0?
- Pierre
Mike, I can answer that without asking him. The first web, from 1994 through about 2000, was about getting yourself or your company onto the Web. Getting a URL. Making a page, or a set of pages. Being presentable. The second web, from 2000, through today, was about adding people and interactivity to those sites. The third web, which started in 2006, is about getting rid of the page all together. Mashups. Live web, like on FriendFeed or TwitterVision.com, and symantec web.
- Robert Scoble
Is the future here yet, or does it remain unevenly distributed? i.e. will some get Web 3.0 while others are still on Web 1.0? If so, what effect will that have? Okay that's three questions, too.
- Donald H Taylor
Spencer: sounds good. Web 2.0, for me, was about adding people and interactivity to web pages. That's HUGE for business. Who wants to do business with a faceless corporation? And who wants to have to refresh their web pages to fill out forms and get information?

Good idea. Could you ask him: - His predictions for 2009; what´s his top 3 of new developments, new growth areas and failures the followiung year - Will he deliver an iPhone App with access to all books, or, maybe even better, give the iPhone App Stanza access to all his books ?

When will "web 3.0" come? What is significant for this new phase? Could it be the third "monitor"? 1st TV, 2nd computer, 3rd mobile with camera so you could take photos of tags and always be ready to get information through GPS and other features.
- Martin Lindeskog
Robert I have to disagree, I think mashups including Friendfeed are still part of Web 2.0 or maybe 2.x. Increased user involvement, community driven websites, and a mix of services are still characteristics of Web 2.0. Web 3.0 will be a much bigger step forward.
- Bhavishya Kanjhan
Martin: the third wave has already started, but we'll definitely talk about what's happening now. Certainly mobile fits into that. Location awareness. Presence and status awareness. Real-time web. Video. And mashups (there's a new service/tool coming Monday that's pretty wild, by the way).
- Robert Scoble
How will the Web evolve to help us better filter useful information from the information overload currently on the internet? Search? Social Media? Something else?
- Dobes Vandermeer
Web 2.0 has become a revolution - it would be great to know if user generated content will improve in quality and credibility as more people take to it, or will the quality drop?
- Harish
Bhavishya: hmm, well, here's where we get into trouble with using version numbers. One wave morphs into the next wave, it isn't a binary thing (it doesn't just "appear" one day). The mashups I'm seeing coming next year are quite wild and aren't ANYTHING like what we were thinking about when people started talking about Web 2.0.
- Robert Scoble
Harish: good question. I see the quality of user generated content increasing a lot once you can see some social capital behind the participation. Ask yourself, why is the participation here on FriendFeed so good? My answer: because there are very real social consequences for being an asshole here.

hey robert, thought it was interesting how guy kawasaki promoted twitter--even more than his book or alltop--in your recent interview. can we learn what o'reilly's hot about (he posted recently about ceo tweeting, for instance, but what else?) and what he prefers, friendfeed or twitter.
- mark silva
Pierre: awesome question too, but we all know privacy is dead. Want to see my medical records or credit card statement? We're getting pretty close to sharing even those things because there's some value that comes back to us if we do (ala mint.com or google's health services).

mark: Tim is a Twitter guy. I rarely see him show up here on FriendFeed. We will definitely talk about microblogging and the real-time web.

Todd: that's a real problem, the first two years of my blog are gone. But even worse is that Twitter is a black hole. Quick, pull out all conversations about the Chinese Earthquake that happened in the first three hours after the earthquake happened. You can't. That's even worse. The data is there, we can't get to it.

Ask him about consolidation. People generally use a wide variety of different web sites for different purposes (google/wikipedia/flickr/FB/amazon/etc) , each with its own user interface and idiosyncrasies. Does the fact that information should flow more freely in the future mean that we may see the birth of mega sites, which aggregate all this data, and allow much higher levels of interoperability and integration.

This is what cell phone operators like vodafone have been trying to do for quite a while; hasn't taken off so much. This is a good move by Nokia, but as with everything else depends a lot on execution. If they screw this up, it will affect their handset sales as well.

Nokia's dream is to own the entire stack. Is it better to roll your own services, or integrate elegantly with those already out there?

Nokia would be shooting themselves in the foot to think they could own the whole tech stack.. Mobile tech is already too darn proprietary...need more open standards, not more closed solutions.

I find these apps to be sort of weird, personally. I mean why on earth would you care if someone stopped following you?

I don't understaaand!
- Soup
Exactly my thoughts @Soup. If people stop following me that's because I'm not interesting to them on twitter and I hold no personal grudges. No need to track and underline the normal evolution of your twitter network. (Just to flip this, I've followed people, found their tweets uninteresting but they had good blogs so ended up subscribing to their blogs without following them.)

What do you mean by annotation service? There are lots to choose from... Diigo, Ma.gnolia, Mento, Clipmarks, Iterasi... what are your requirements?
- Her Lindsay-ness
I need to put notes on several part in a web pages and manage them. So I'm looking for a service that allow to highlight text to attach a note.
- yvons
Yes, Diigo is the one you want for this purpose but the management aspects can be lacking depending on your needs. You may want to bundle it with something like Trailfire but that can be inconvenient having to use two services. I'd also recommend looking at the Diigo groups topic regularly since there are bugs or delays with sync bookmarking to delicious.
- Fake Name
Thanks. I had a quick look at these services and diigo could make it. I also found google notebook very useful even tough I can't see highlighted parts of webpages I had commented.
- yvons
Try the Scrapbook Firefox extension. I can't live without it. Scrapbook saves copies of the webpages on your hard disk and you can annotate them, so the data is not in "the cloud". But you can get a Dropbox account and tell Scrapbook to save the data in your Dropbox sync folder and then it becomes available on all your computers.
- Pierre
Yes, this is true but one flaw with Scrapbook is that it's annotations aren't as directly linked to the highlight as Diigo. It also has a less rigid folder structure for organizing and you can't highlight directly on the page and have to worj with the saved copy everytime. Another problem is also that you can't sync with your delicious account.
- Fake Name
Flowgram is really designed to create presentations, but it allows you to save pages, highlight text, add text notes or record audio. Might serve you well. Good luck!
- Kevin Sablan
I think it may offer less than some of these other suggestions, but I rather like Awesome Highlighter - http://www.awesomehighlighter.com/
- Foomandoonian
Thanks all for your answers. Having annotations linked to the highlight as on Diigo is important to me. By the way, it seems that Diigo don't allow to change an annotation once you've created it..? What I really need is something that helps me annotate (contextual comment), organize and search through webpages I gathered : It's somehow a personal knowledge base on subject I work on. Those annotations don't mean anything if there are not contextually linked to the document by the highlights.
- yvons
'Reframe It' is a good pick after all. It's better than other service I've tested since It handles the context perfectly.
- yvons
@yvons, have you found a work around to renaming your annotations in Diigo?
- Fake Name
@Kevin Sablan, Thanks for posting about Flowgram. I was looking for something like this.
- Fake Name
I seem to be in a constant search for a good annotation tool. Diigo is the best option right now I think. I do have some search issues on Diigo though. I have items highlighted and commented, and searching is not finding those annotations. Shared Copy is nice, but you cannot update your own annotations. I was sending the RSS from Shared Copy to Google Reader to provide search. It worked OK, but I want to use Diigo.
- Sean Brady
@Fake Name, No, I didn't find how to rename annotations on Diigo.

I'm an idiot, Zee! I signed up as "akvalley" but I forgot to add the invite code. I guess I'm standing in line while watching the cool kids get into the party.

OK, what are you favorite web app designs and why? I've been trying to figure out the key design elements of a web app, which are different than for blogs, news sites, etc. So as heavy users of a diverse set of apps, what do you like and what don't you like?
- Pierre
i love BIG Pierre. What I mean is, I love big open white spaces, love big characters, big fields - i want everything crisp & clear so you can see every minute detail.
- Zee.
I have lots in mind right now but 2 webapps comes to mind when talking about design+usability -> mailchimp.com and basecamphq.com
- AJ Batac
mailchimp.com is a very interesting example. A very strong pattern is emerging and mailchimp is the only one that uses a variation for one of the key elements. Like it! As for big and empty, agreed 100% and not surprisingly, the good app examples I've found are exactly that.
- Pierre
+1 for Basecamp - some people aren't overly fond of the design...but heck, in terms of usability it surpasses nearly every webapp i've come across.
- Zee.
I'd love to see some screenshots if you can, Sean. Thanks!
- Pierre
I ♥ web apps by 37signals. Their usability is very high, easy to pick up so your clients and team members can pick it up fast too. They are always improving their apps in terms of workflow and adding useful features that you will use and appreciate. I think these values are important to me. It has to just works.

Why do it in the browser as opposed to a desktop app designed for this kind of thing?

agree!

Looks really good. Might be the way to get a technophile to do some exercise :)

I'm wondering about pairing this with a photography habit. Can it export a standard NMEA file to use with other software? That'd be nice.

@marcel ... that is the sweetness. @zee same. :)
- Brandon
No problem. You're welcome!
- Marcel Janus
i've just tried both and the reason why i currently prefer cligs is because you can see where the hits came from which unfortunately you can't do with Tweetburner yet - unless i'm missing something?
- Zee.
Zee again, very useful, thank you.
- Kol Tregaskes
Glad to share, no need to thank :)
- Zee.
@Zee You can see stats for the links too. Just click on the icon beside the link. See: http://screencast.com/t...
- Marcel Janus
@Marcel but i can't see who clicked it & from which site - right?
- Zee.
You could have mention my post... I'm the one that posted about them (this is what I don't like about Friendfeed - no credit what so ever)
- Orli Yakuel
I actually like urlborg for this: http://urlborg.com
- mjc
I've used it... it's interesting.

Orli, take it easy - I forgot to mention you...I normally always do & thought I had in this case, my apologies. If you look at other things i've found via you, i have always put your name there.
- Zee.
take it easy? whatever...
- Orli Yakuel
All it would have taken was a polite request to always make sure people link back to you (which in my case i normally do)...but instead you go on the attack from the start. So yeah, "take it easy" seems appropriate.
- Zee.
@Zee I don't know what stats you have within cligs but here are the details available at tweetburner: http://screencast.com/t...
- Marcel Janus
that's really interesting Marcel - no i didn't have that...I'll try resharing somethign again via there because that's exactly what i was looking for. Also Marcel, my apologies, i had to remove your comment from above so I could mention @Orli in this share...if you could edit your comment above to include the link again that would be great. Again, my apologies.

@Zee No problem, here is the first link I posted http://www.screencast.com/t...

Looks like http://bit.ly ... is it as smooth?
- Joel Bennett
not quite as smooth but does bit.ly have stats?
- Zee.
@Zee. Yes, see this post for the full list of features: http://switchabit.wordpress.com/2008...
- David Young
oh but no analytics yet...
- Zee.
Owner of Cligs here. Thanks for the mention Zee. Glad you like it. Please let me know if you have feature requests - very happy to oblige!
- Pierre
hey there Pierre, thanks for stopping by! Great service you got there...I'm sure we'll all put our thinking hat on regarding features. The main one that comes to mind is a slicker bookmarklet, which doesn't open a new tab/window...similar to bit.ly's . One question if you don't mind, should I assume that the majority of 'no-referers' are desktop apps?
- Zee.
There is a FF extension in the works. If anyone is good at developing extensions *PLEASE* contact me at http://blog.cli.gs/contact . I'm swamped developing the app.
- Pierre
Forgot to add, the no referrers are bots + desktop apps. I've been tracking this since launch and there is a post coming about it.
- Pierre
ok cool - cheers Pierre
