Good news everyone. I am holding yet another giveaway. This time, for CopyTrans. If you are not aware of what CopyTrans is, it is a wonderful iTunes alternative. You might have seen their ad in the sidebar. Well, CopyTrans 4 was just released a few days ago. Several new features were added to the program. I have downloaded and installed CopyTrans 4 and I must tell you that the new version is extraordinary. I am not going to spoil the fun of trying it out for the first time so check it out for yourself or head over to CopyTrans.net and read the list of new features there. Anyway, if you were not aware, CopyTrans is a piece of shareware. It is not entirely free. If you want the full, registered version you have to purchase the product. However, the team at CopyTrans has given me the opportunity to give away ten licenses. That means you get the full, registered version of CopyTrans for free. This is how the giveaway will be done. The giveaway winners will be picked at random. All you...

The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ysabel Legaspi
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going

neternity@gmail.com and i promise to send a wave of 100,901 twitter followers to your doorstep each of whom will have averaged 1 tweet in their existence - this might not get me an invite but surely it will get some notice - must have that something special - my google wave invite special sauce ingredient is twitter juice PS Not to be construed as an offer, not valid in any of the 53 US states, do not try this at home, caution: contents are hot.
- Ross Button

How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.
- marziah
I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
i have decided that if i do indeed get an invite, i will decline, forward my gmail account to windows live and put ie back as my default browser and i will bing it
- Ross Button

I'll wager that some of the folks on this list have received their invite by now, or no longer want one - I have 16 invitations at this instant. It's probably easier for me if you DM.

Yalnız Turbo'nun özelliği imaj kalitelerini bakılamayacak derecede düşürmesi. Açıkçası Opera zaten çok çok hızlı açıyor sayfaları ve hatta hızlıca imajları gösterme düğmesi de mevcut. Hiç kullanmıyorum Turbo özelliğini.
- Özer (Wrzl) Dölekoğlu
@Özer, yoğun bir download yaparken oldukça işe yaradığını düşünüyorum gündelik web işlerini yapmak için. Download yaparken milliyet.com.tr'de dolaşabiliyorsun resimlerin yüklenmelerini beklemeksizin.
- Laroux D`Blackmore
In my opinion, Opera = meh. Speed is good but UI is a little... well... meh.
- Stephen
If I wanted a browser that wasn't Chrome, I'd use firefox
- Will Higgins™
I wanna say yes but I think I fall more in the "Hell if I know" category. :)
- pea
Yes. But I don't think new features will be implemented.
- imabonehead
FriendFeed with "improvements" ? FriendFeed as we know it today? Or friendfeed.com as a site? Yes, no, yes are my guesses. Two years no, no, no.
- Brian Sullivan
Well, very probably. But I don't think that I'll be here, myself.
- directeur
Yes, it will exist. And it will have more users. But with the expected demographic associated with the anticipated influx, I doubt I will be as interested in the service. For me, I'll wait and see who the Friendfeed community will be before I decide to invest further or cut my losses.
- Lorin Olsen
:) you've said that since Friendfeed launched directeur! :)
- Zee.
Friendfeed has always been about community and dialog. And I used the tool to test/sense the zeitgeist of tech luminaries that I respected. Twitter is a megaphone; Facebook is the shopping mall. I wanted Freindfeed to be the quiet coffee shop. But Friendfeed may now be over-run by a collection of nattering nabobs. If so, I'll go find a quieter shop where I can have deep and meaningful discussions. Disqus, anyone?
- Lorin Olsen
Easily yes, although "here" could mean "the website is still searchable."
- John E. Bredehoft
I fear not. The equation is [FF = (feeds+people+conversation) * interesting]. If interesting people and contents will migrate in another place, all their friends will follow them. Since FF will be not mainstream, no other people will replace them and so maybe there's not reason to let this service open. I'm afraid about this, really, but I think that a cloud architecture could be the right place for early adopters
- Roberto
It will likely still exist but the real question is if it will keep it's popularity.
- Stephen
Yes, in one way or another. The problem is, people are fleeing just because FB bought it...if too many goes away, whats the point keeping it up? Websites like this has to grow bigger and bigger or else they'll die. If FB wouldn't have bought it, I think FF would have died sooner or later anyway.
- Patrik Johansson
Yes, it will probably be around. Will it be recognizable as the Friendfeed we all know and love? I am much less confident about this. :o(
- Seth Greenblatt
Yes, and hopefully with many more users than now, thanks to the fb acquisition.
- Garin Kilpatrick
Yes - still the cleanest way to have intelligent conversations.
- Alan Morris
yes - they serve different markets. Facebook is for keeping in touch with friends. Friendfeed is for sharing ideas with people who share similar interests but who you may have never met.
- Simon Hicks
Yes..It is going to be here as it provides a cusp of Twitter and Facebook.. as i see it so there is a room for it to stay here longer
- Sardar Mohkim Khan
Well I get the impression from Paul that it will be around for a while so I'd say yes but Facebook will gobble it up at some point (whenever the contract states). The team have been split up and thus fewer people are working and maintaining it. Let's hope some sort of FB Lite will accommodate us... but I doubt it.
- Kol Tregaskes
Maybe it will be integrated in facebook, but the innovations that friendfeed have will then move over to facebook, because they are awesome
- alfred westerveld
Friendfeed yes, the need to use it, no.
- Dani Radu
The difference between TinyTags and some of the other "big" URL shortening services out there is the fact that it is not managed by people who are being paid to help manage it. I am the only person who manages it. This way, is there is a problem, it will not take hours for a represintative to finally answer your E-mail. As long as I am awake, I can do it in minutes.
- Stephen
I wouldn't exactly call that a 'feature'. :-)
- Jon Gosier
from iPhone
there's nothing good about this Stephen I'm afaid...The URL's too long. There's nothing new about it at all. And frankly, if there's one less thing we need, its URL shorteners.
