Re: louisgray.com: New Facebook Design Omits Major Features, Including Pokes
July 30 at 9:26 am - Link
"Combining " the wall " with my feed seems a bit confusing. Also, the new Facebook " homepage " seems useless. Its a duplicate of my profile page. And when you click on, " Update Status ", "Add Photos", "Add Videos", etc... at the top, it redirects you to your profile page. Why not just make your profile page the homepage? Also, as people mentioned with their feeds that it shows " Gary had activity on FriendFeed " -- there is an edit button when you mouseover and you can choose, " 1 line, Short, or Full ( full depends on the feed item ) " -- why isn't there a setting under " settings " above the feed that says, " Always display as Short. " ( or full, or 1 line, etc... ) It just seems that there is a lot of more clicking to get to things now. The layout is nice, but the user experience could be improved. A lot." - Gary Bacon II

Television will be first traditional media medium to fall
July 24 at 11:27 pm - Link
Nahh, Amazon-Tivo ensures it won't happen. - Jody C
Jody, don't confuse the distribution and the end result. Amazon-Tivo drives the downfall of broadcast television (note the headline: traditional media medium...not viewing video on a large screen) - Duncan Riley

While notable that if television continued to desperately cater to an online audience its future would probably be doomed, with an online presence (and if successful, the first of many) catering to television's audience its future is much more bright than printed newspapers or broadcast radio, which have no such bridge to modern media. Amazon-Tivo brings more advertising to the medium, where Tivo alone renders advertising useless. Bezos is one of the brightest minds out there. I don't see him investing in a losing proposition. - Jody C
Jody, you're not understanding me. Amazon isn't in broadcast television. It's in digital distribution, TiVo is a way to deliver its digital content to more people. Bezos IS investing in a winning proposition, the shift from broadcast television to on demand or customized content. Bezos knows that the switch from broadcast TV to content on demand is on and that those who build numbers now have the most to gain in the future - Duncan Riley
Duncan - I totally get what you're saying, and you're right. :) - Sean McBride
I have been TRYING to innovate with http://Free.TV for 8 years and i still do no see change - ric johnson
TV is not innovating in the face of the competition from web. So I think tv will fall much before newspapers, radio etc - Sidharth Dassani

iPhone Timeline 12/15/99~ ….WOW it’s been THAT long?!

@Mona - VERY cool. - Gary Bacon II
the domain was registered in 1999. CRAZY - Mona N.
That's cool Mona. Good timeline, interesting history. - Hutch Carpenter
Thanks Hutch, I can't stop looking at it. It's one of the most interesting things I've seen in a LONG time :) - Mona N.
Nice timeline... - Mitchell Tsai
Isn't it? So much awesome - Mona N.
I don't care for the phone, but I find timelines like these very to be very cool. - Louie
if you'd told me in 1999 that I'd be posting comments from a phone made by Apple, I would have literally laughed in your face :) - Roger Benningfield
Louie: agreed @Roger: the trademark was registered in 2002. '02! crazy - Mona N.
I'd already forgotten about the legal tussle with Cisco over the name "iPhone". - Hutch Carpenter
2002 doesn't seem crazy to me, the iPod had already been out a year and a lot of people were writing that someday all that would be on mobile phones. Still, registering iPhone.org in 1999, well before the first iPod! Crazy. And Crazy smart too! - Robert Seidman
Cisco lawsuit was either an attempt to make money off of the recently announced product... or... they had no idea of the trademark being filed in '02... and had just caught wind. - Gary Bacon II
I like how the timeline gives you a picture of things that you didn't notice. It's like seeing how a military strategy was played out. Slipping in trademarks through other companies and abroad are like silently moving troops to the flanks. Muy interesante. - Louie
Too bad all my FF peeps don't thinks so... Don't sleep! - Mona N.
@Mona funny your blog is called pixel bits -- my website is pixelbud.com :P - Gary Bacon II
=O!! coincidence???? - Mona N.
@Mona -- Yus. I've been pixelbud for a LONG time :) - Gary Bacon II

Sony Reader goes open, will be able to work with other booksellers
July 24 at 11:14 pm - Link
Looks like a lot better design than the Kindle. But Kindle is the one I'm holding out for because of the tight ties to Amazon and the ability to buy a book anywhere over its cell modem. - Robert Scoble
Sony Reader to me has a better user experience. Easier to hold, navigate, and has great page clarity. Kindle is a bit clunky, feels like cheap plastic, and you basically can't help but accidently press a button on it. If the Sony Reader had EVDO built in. Wow. - Gary Bacon II

This is great news. I hope this will lead to better support for Mac users. Right now, you're out of luck without a Windows box. - Chris Baskind
I am DYING for a mobile bookreader to read the gigs of PDF medical/science texts *I already have*. I am not interested in making another version (and subsequent loss) for a proprietary format. I heard Sony's PDF native capabilities abysmal, but that may have changed in a firmware update, not sure. There are so many media players out there--why so few edocument readers? I'd love the Kindle's low-power, e-ink but with smaller plastic footprint, but more than anything, native PDF support. Recommendations? How-tos? Thanks! :) - Enrico C. via twhirl
The first reader to have strong support for PDF and CHM files gets my support. - Alvin Ashcraft
The sony reader looks really nice. Form is important, especially if it is really bad. The Kindle reminded me of some of my kids toys. It is hard to be taken seriously with that type of perception. - Rob Diana
Enrico: same here, a PDF reader is just what I need for my job reading scientific papers easily. The Kimdle is too plasticky for me it looks like an Etch-a-sketch toy - Sally Church via fftogo
i'mwaiting to see the second kindle, and hoping the design changes a bit - Kyle A Koch
I'm also anxiously waiting for Kindle 2 to come out, supposedly around October. - imabonehead
I think that when Apple comes out with this Macbook Touch I've been hearing about, it will be the reader we all want. They really need to make it possible to skip ahead to certain a page or remember your last page when reading PDFs on the iPod Touch and iPhone. Especially since Safari is so crashy, when I open the doc back up, I don't want to spend 10 minutes scrolling back to where I was only to have it crash again 10 minutes later. - Ernie Oporto

bacon comes from pigs that have six boobies...? - Mona N.
Back to the actual topic... I had a "friend" that had never learned how to size her bra correctly. It was so bad that she had permanent looking bruising from the incorrectly sized bras. I had to take her down to VS to have her sized, much to her embarassment and eventual delight. - Louie

I have it and only use it to communicate mostly with people I have met while traveling. That's actually the only I got on it in the first place too. I ignore those applications. - Justin Korn

Is anyone using the overhauled one? - Mona N.
...and I don't have my FF feeds integrated in FB. It's too 'noisy' for my real friends who don't understand my SNSing LOL - Mona N.
I log in from time to time for good karma - Jody C
@Mona -- I am... and I hate the new Facebook design. - Gary Bacon II
Plenty of people still use it. I was forced to join because an organization I'm in uses it exclusively for group communication. Before that I was against any kind of those social networking sites. If you're a student, it's no secret that FB dominates every campus out there, so you've got to use it. FF is just a speck on the map, that some of the bigger geeks have come to endorse. - Louie
I'm a student. FB is as important as a cell phone to us. - Phillip Jeffrey
Facebook app on the iPhone is AMAZING. - Gary Bacon II

welll put it like this...of all the people i know on facebook, i'm the only one who uses friendfeed - unfortunately... - Simon
I use Facebook, but just to contact people I can't reach with other easier ways. - Daniel Schildt
I love Facebook because all of my non-IT friends are on there. It's the only way I can communicate with them! But as for the app invites... most of them are useless. I've been ignoring invites for a while now.. And only install useful apps, like the Friendfeed one. There's also a very useful app that stars Chris. ;) - Daynah

"I don't like where they put the " Latest tweet " -- the update button looks out of place. Latest tweet should be above or below the input area. Also its hard to tell which tab is active.

“Why do I block? Certainly not to silence my critics. Like you can control a critic anyway...I block to keep jerks out of my living room and on the "everyone" tab where they belong. I also block jerks because if they aren't constructive I figure they really would be better off reading/viewing...”

Well, on Twitter anyway, I block Twitter spammers so that Twitter will delete their accounts. - Morton Fox
Precisely. I can't control what they say, but I can certainly control what I have to deal with reading. - Bradley McSpinn

...someone else. Oh, and I do block some that keep dragging the jerks into my view. My attitude has improved 100x since I don't see them here every morning. - Robert Scoble
@Scoble - err, dragging the jerks? - Yuvi
@morton Does that work? I certainly don't follow everyone who follows me but only block those who are obvious spammers. Once they're "out of sight, out of mind" I don't really care if Twitter keeps their accounts open or not, but it'd be nice to think that spammers are dealt with appropriately. - Sally Robinson
If you didn't block, you'd end up pulling a Calacanis and retiring from FF - Jason Kintzler
I think blocking is appropriate... like that comment thread I got into the other day on your blog. At some point as these social tools mature, we, as users, have to develope methods to filter the noise. Unfortunately, there are a small minority of people in the world who make a lot of bad noise and disrupt the conversation. On my blog I wrote about Cyber Bullying... http://bloghh.wordpress.com/20...... I think it will take time and trial and error to figure out how to deal with the bad elements on the Internet... But the benefits are worth the little pains here and there - Herschel
this is why I can't chat on message boards anymore! - orionstarr
Sally: I'm not sure but I've heard that Twitter does look into accounts that are blocked by lots of users. I only block obvious spammers too, i.e. those who started Twitter accounts just to promote a get-rich-quick website. - Morton Fox
There is a danger though that in an emotional moment you will block someone who is a valid critic and you should be listening to. My attitude is block with extreme caution. I use killfiles on nntp but every once in a while I delete them and start from scratch to make sure the trolls are still trolls (if they are even still there). There is no easy way to find out who you have blocked on FF though. - Brian Sullivan
Brian: believe me valid critics are still well represented in my living room. :-) - Robert Scoble
Robert: No doubt but are there also valid critics in your block list? - Brian Sullivan
It's a fairly reasonable 'live and let live' attitude, I think. - Phil (scribkin)
@Brian Perhaps you've come up with a new FF feature. Adding a block duration (hours, days, months, forever). Might be useful, especially if the blocked person knows they are being blocked temporarily. A digital version of shunning. :-) - Jim McCusker
I get the impression that most of us have only blocked a handful of people. I've blocked exactly 3. I'd like to think that we all have good, well-thought-out reasons to block. Like Robert said, I want to keep jerks out of my living room. For me to block another user, they have to really want it. - Harvey Simmons
I'm not sure "live and let live" is exactly the solution. I don't think anyone with an open mind is afraid of respectful criticism. It's when "critics" go beyond the issues and get personal is when the line gets crossed. I'm without no sin on this sometimes and I find in responding to attacks I can respond with passion and that can lead to personal attacking. - Herschel
Brian: no. A reasonable critic isn't a jerk and/or doesn't try to bring one into my world. - Robert Scoble
I find myself concerned that Scoble has blocked me even though I am a nice guy hehe :0 Great post Robert, I like it and will block people if I ever get enough people to care and follow me. I think we are all figuring out that we have some responsibility to control the noise using our mouse and keyboard and that the system (twitter or ff or whatever) is not entirely responsible for controllling it for us. Thank God for editing comments - Cody Heitschmidt
Robert: Everybody acts like a jerk at some point in their life (I am sure even you have at some point). - Brian Sullivan
Brian you miss the point (my opinion) and take the conversation down a dismal path... Scoble is not saying every time someone could possible be considered a jerk... He blocks them, he is saying he enjoys the oppurtunity to be able to decide in his own friend feed world that someone is a jerk and get rid of their noise. Same thing as having a home. We all love our home because we control it, I can invite Robert Scoble over if I want and if when he comes I don't like him... I don't invite him again. - Cody Heitschmidt
Cody: exactly. Plus I still see the jerks on ego searches on the everyone tab. - Robert Scoble
You hit the Everyone tab? Don't think I've ever used that, to be honest. - Bradley McSpinn
my fav shows r where you are yourself. um think huell howser. for tech :) http://www.calgold.com/ appreciate your work! keep it up!editing this to add that suits r awesome but not always needed as you make us feel comfortable when you are comfortable! thanks again! - tanya
Blocking is perfect for when you need to filter out the negative crap from FF. I second Scoble's use of it! yeah for FriendFeed block feature!! keep the jerks, trolls out of my life - thank you very much. :*) - Susan Beebe
Is there a way to know if someone has blocked you? - Shey
excellent points, I might try that! Grazie - Danny Bo'itanni
Blocking is cool. Freedom of speech doesn't imply that anyone has to listen. - Ian Betteridge
Shey: as I discovered yesterday, you'll figure out you're blocked when they post, but don't show in your timeline. You cna still see them by going to their page directly. If you comment on a thread, it won't move to the top of your timeline -- even if you're apparently subscribed. - Chris Baskind
How do you find out who you have blocked ? - Brian Sullivan
Freedom to speak and freedom to block are two sides of a same coin. ;) - Yung-Hui Lim
Robert: what's your process for following and subscribing by default ? With so many followers on FF and Twitter how do you decide who is your feed and who is not? Do you build a "friendship" first or do you follow and subscribe friends of friends, etc. What about others in this discussion? What do you do? - Larry Kless via twhirl
To me it seems important to recognize that with an open-ended tool like Friendfeed, different people will use it different ways. Personally, out of principle, I'd prefer to avoid blocking anyone, and I haven't yet. But I'm low-profile anyhow. If I were Scoble -- or if I were female -- I'm sure I'd use the block feature liberally. My blood pressure, you know. I just have no need to see overtly negative or hostile posts. - Nathan Rein
@Larry I use Twitter/FF to follow industry analysts and other noted personalities. As my interest in a person's feed grows, I start to look at their followed and followers and expand my own list accordingly. Sometimes I'm interested in following particular people and sometimes it's following particular conversations. Either way, I like the open flow of information. - Sally Robinson
larry I subscribe to anyone who catches my eye and is nice. - Robert Scoble
I block spammers. I don't typically block trolls or people that disagree with me. This isn't my living room after all. For Robert though, he would have to block or it would drown out the signal. - Sam Pullara
