Google recently made it possible to share individual feeds and folders from Google Reader (they're called Bundles). Share your favorite bundles here:
Picture 19.png
This is how you find them: http://thenextweb.com/2009... and this is 150 of the most influential Tech Blogs & sites http://www.google.com/reader... - Zee.
not all at once now :P - Zee.
Nice Bundle Zee - Nicholas James
sounds almost naughty when you say it like that... :) - Zee.
@Zee I get a message "invalid stream name" after clicking on your link from iPhone - Roberto from fftogo
does anyone else get the same? - Zee.
Works fine for me Zee: ""150 of the Most Influential Tech News and Blogs" bundle created by Zee Description: Spent ages collecting these and here they for everything to enjoy. A bundle is a collection of blogs and websites hand-selected by your friend on a particular topic or interest. You can keep up to date with them all in one place by subscribing in Google Reader. There are 175 feeds included in this bundle" - Nicholas James
clearly a lot of people like the idea of this but not the sharing part - Zee.
This actually is a smart move from Google. This "bundles" feature now makes it much easier for new users to get started with lots of sources in Google Reader. Now even people that aren't ahead-of-the-curve-social-media-experts can enjoy the wonderful benefits of having too much to read. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

I'm loving this thread. I went and grabbed the newsier bundles from this thread and pulled them into a room. I'll keep adding to that too. guruvy-headlines: http://friendfeed.com/guruvy-... - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
seriously, you guys suck! :P 64 likes and only 3 people have shared their bundles... - Zee.
Zee: no one believes me when I say that very few people are using Google Reader. I have more than 40x more people reading me here than on Google Reader and I was the #1 user of Google Reader for quite a while (according to the Google Reader team). That's just one small reason why I've shifted over to where the readers are: Facebook, Twitter, and friendfeed. - Robert Scoble
Hey, it would be interesting to ask how many people still use Google Reader. See, i think loads and loads do, but few bother sharing or socializing via it. - Zee.
Zee: according to my blog's referer log you're wrong. Measurement tells all. :-) - Robert Scoble
Boy, this sounds interesting! I gotta try it.. - Raj Rikhy
Omg this is so great! - Marika Dye
@Robert but don't you share your full content via RSS? - Zee.
I don't always visit reader because it can simply be overwhelming. Friendfeed and Twitter are more amenable to "partial attention" whereas Reader pretty much requires total focus for an extended period if I'm going to get use out of it. I only have that kind of time once every week or so, whereas I can keep Tweetie running most of the time without feeling too distracted by it. - Jason Wehmhoener
Jason -- the key to using Google Reader effectively (for me) is to focus on a few carefully defined folders, and feel under no pressure whatever to "catch up" with all your unread items. Just skim off the cream. - Sean McBride
I love my Google Reader but MAN I wish organization were easier. - Mona Nomura
Mona -- ever try dragging and dropping a GR folder from one location to another when you have a long list of folders? :) It's surrealistic. - Sean McBride
Though I use my reader you see my preference in the fact I went and aggregated these bundles here. I only use it as quick storage of feed addresses and to make sure I don't miss important items from my favorite writers that might have been missed in the noise. But now I'm starting to use the same client I use for most of my twitter and friendfeed to get my rss, PeopleBrowsr :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from f2p

thats very interesting. Thanks for the hard work Zee. And I think you're right in your comment that many people still use Greader, though they might not use it as a sharing tool. - Peter Efland
我的海派文化:http://www.google.com/reader... - qian
Sean, it sounds nice, and it works for a while, but I seem to collect feeds faster than our floor collects fur from our two dogs and two cats. I've found that I get more out of it if I don't "skim" but actually devote a solid chunk of time to it (just not very regularly). - Jason Wehmhoener
Jason -- by "skim off the cream" I meant to pay very close attention to the small set of GR items that really matter, and to use folders to corral those items. (Skim off, not skim.) - Sean McBride
That "small set" just isn't very small for me. Got lotsa folders. - Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason which "small set"? - Zee.
Sean is talking about a way of narrowing down Google Reader content, paying attention to "small set of GR items that really matter" but I'm saying that the items that really matter to me actually make up a somewhat large set. - Jason Wehmhoener
I've got over 1,000 GR feeds and over 100 GR folders, but I tend to gravitate towards and focus on a few folders in which the most interesting stuff clusters most strongly. - Sean McBride
Mitch Wagner
Why I don't try to game Twitter: Because the only people I want following me are people who want to follow me. Tricks to get people to follow you are a waste of time. The followers you get that way are worthless. That's why I don't folllow-spam, or ask for followers, or trim my tweets to 120 characters for easy retweeting, or such nonsense. (via...
I don't auto follow either and I reserve the right to unfollow and respect everyone's right to do the same if my tweets are not of interest to them. (Applause!) in total agreement. - Pearletta Wilson

People must not forget to ask why it's always been done a certain way though. There are sometimes good reasons. If there isn't, it at least gets you thinking more about the problem and solutions that make sense. - Mitch

If the FF beta is too fast for you JUST PRESS PAUSE (it's in the upper right corner of the blue strip at the top). When FF is super active at peak times it's going to be TOO FAST if you are following a lot of people. Don't be scared of the pause button. It is your friend.
or, Like Scoble said....just use lists - shaun mclane
Or a combination of both. The PAUSE button just made my life sane again. - Akiva Moskovitz
I think the pause button needs to be much more prominent - I didn't spot it, and I suspect I'm not the only one. - Ian Betteridge
Filters are going to quickly become you're friend - Mark Philpot
Amazing the continued impact Twitter has on social network design -- first the Twitter-like Facebook redesign, and now this. As noted by others: Not sure if this will make FF any more mainstream -- especially when you need Scoble to get usage tips. Hah. Am enjoying the font size increase. - Anthony Baker
the design is not friendly too ... - Viva Vida
New users won't be following a ton of people. Live streaming will be totally manageable for them initially. As they get more active on the site they will learn to manage with pause and filters. - Thomas Hawk
This new interface will be much more attractive for new users which will be good for ff's growth and mainstream appeal. The site is much less intimidating for the new user now. - Thomas Hawk
If you're getting dizzy and want to hop off the FriendFeed beta merry-go-round, click on "Filters", enter a name, check "My friends and groups" and click "Save filter". It'll give you a static view you have to refresh manually. - Ken Sheppardson
Someone else mentioned a "floating" pause button. That's be nice for when you're not near the top of the screen. - Kenton
Is there a keyboard short cut for pause -- ie: space key would be nice? - Tom Parish
Kenton++ - Andrew C
Svartling
It looks like the new friendfeed beta even has better Permalinks. With username & all. Better for SEO. #friendfeed
Took me a while to find the link because I learned it the old way. Now you just mouse over the timestamp like you would on any other site. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Ah thanks for the tip Daniel! - Meryn Stol
That's cool! - Robert Scoble
Yeah me too :) - Svartling
Good point! - Paul Jacobson
Yeah very useful. - Svartling
Good job Svartling! Useful indeed. - Sanne Buurma
That's helpful. Thanks. - Glen Group

I live next to a golf course. Does that make me an expert on golf?
I've never once played golf, though I did play miniature-golf a few times as a kid. Also, I occasionally hit golf balls with a baseball bat when they land in my yard. In fact, maybe I am an expert. I bet I could teach Tiger Woods a thing or two about the game... - Paul Buchheit
It means you love the tranquility of a giant backyard with alot of ponds, sand traps, and holes in the ground. - imabonehead
Paul, I laughed on reading this. Then something clicked (I'm a little slow) .. is this a comment on all the opinions flying around about politics? - Stu Andrews from twhirl
I drive by Google, Apple and Yahoo quite a bit. Am I an Internet genius now? - AJ Kohn
Many people live next to roads. Still they can't drive. - Jemm
can you see it from your private island? if so - absolutely... - Frederic
I was just watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch... At 4:30 McCain explains that Palin understands Russia because Alaska is next to Russia. It's fun to watch people make such preposterous arguments, but presumably it works with a lot of voters. - Paul Buchheit
Paul - 7 years on a golf course (when I was in my 20's). Ball came through the window once. (ugh!!!!). Played Tennis with the guy next door. Never lifted a club. My only motivation to even think about it is that some of the best biz deals are cut out there on the 9th .... or whatever they call it :) - Charlie Anzman
I live next to a woman and I'm an expert on women, so I can believe that Palin could be an expert on Russia. - Gabe
Of course you are! this is soooo logical (nice joke BTW) - Susan Beebe
I live next to a missile defense something or another. That means I'm an expert on missile defense. The Pentagon should be calling any second now. - EricaJoy
Seriously, I'm rewriting my resume and LinkedIn profile based on geographic proximity. I mean, hey, I worked near the White House back in the day - that means I've got 'executive experience'. - AJ Kohn
Apparently familiarity breeds contempt... do you want to go to war with the golf course nearby? Sarah Palin is ready to invade Russia (she should really read up on her history, especially Napoleon... ) - Jason Carreira
I work at Walt Disney World. Does that make me the happiest person alive? :) - Mike Reynolds
That may make you an expert on having golf balls land in your yard. :) - Morton Fox
Oddly enough both of my brothers live next to golf courses...But only Ben, the middle brother, actually plays. Oh, and my soon to be brother in law manages a golf course. - Alex Scoble
I love this new logic. I'm hoping Maersk will let me drive a container ship, since I've got a Bay view. - mat honan
I live near Pennsylvania's capital, Harrisburg. I must have vast experience in politics. - Shawn Farner
I live 5 miles from Fort Hood, the largest military post in the free world, I must know all things military. Maybe I can invade Russia! - Michelle Martinez
Paul, you forgot to mention that you sometimes walk near or around the golf course as well. I can almost see your expertise growing. - Clare Dibble
I am a Mexican-American Landscape Architect living in Coastal Florida. That must mean I am an expert in immigration, growth management and energy & environmental issues. Right? ;-) - JA Castillo
JA, you should run for office then! :P - imabonehead
That makes your home insurance higher than the norm! - Mona Nomura
It is true that Alaska is the only state that borders TWO foreign nations. Is it then preposterous to say that the governor of such a state could have some experience in foreign relations? - Kevin L
p.s. i live IN a golf course and am definitely no expert on the game - Kevin L
golf course....you mean worldview? - Bryan Power
Perhaps not an expert on golf, but there are things that you know about golf that many people who live far from golf courses don't know. For example, I would assume that any window facing the course would be endangered; based upon your experience, you would know differently. And if April is a golfer, you'll have even more perspective. - Ontario Emperor
I don't play golf, but I do like returning the golf balls using an aluminum baseball bat. - April Buchheit
Lol, the Buchheits need an air-cannon! - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
Lindsey is Fierce!
I'm in such an awesome mood :)
Good weekend? - Trish R
Must have been! I had a pretty good one myself. - Geoff Schultz
Must be the Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger flowing through your veins! - Josh Haley
YAY!!! I'm kickin it too, Lindsey =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@Josh - a KKBC - is that a bacon cheeseburger in a donut? - WorldofHiglet
@world Oh yes.Pics, and it did happen. http://beta.friendfeed.com/e... - Josh Haley
And it was glorious - Michael W. May from twhirl
Wonderful! - Mitchell Tsai
@josh - I feel slightly sick - isn't there some sort of law against this? I mean, when the lard from the bacon hits the fat from the cheese and then they both soak into the deepfried donut - how does that not set up some hideous chain reaction? Is this one of the mysteries the new Hadron Collider will seek to unravel? - WorldofHiglet
Steve Rubel
After a long lull, I am suddenly using Facebook a lot more. Anyone else?
me too - i'm starting to like the new format a lot - more people are posting content, more people are commenting, and the filtering allows me to digest more information from friends than i could in the past - it's getting more and more interesting jumping over there during the day - Kevin
Same here. Allowing comments on the Status updates is the catalyst for me. - Mike Doeff
Facebook is the true social network...it looks clean, works seamlessly and more people are joining in. It's my hub. - Miguel Albano
Using it, well no but certainly sharing more to it. I have been adding any photographers I can find on FB but that's it atm - Kol Tregaskes
my 2 aunts who are like 60+ years old are on FB. I just closed my account after finding out. - Mark L from twhirl
Yes. Seems to be more actual communication, less game-playing and showing off. - Timothy B. Taylor
I've never stopped, love FB. Have definitely noticed a downturn in the annoying apps spam though which I appreciate. - Kate
Nope. Not into limiting myself to intranets. I really don't get it.! - Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Nope...I was huge into playing a lot of the racing games for six months, but got bored with that, so now I'm using Facebook rarely. Doing a lot more friendfeed. - Alex Scoble
Nope. The death of Scrabulous has confused my less techie relatives, who dislike the Scrabble alternative, so games have dried up. - Louis Gray
mainly use its as an 'outpost' (great term of Chris Brogan); as a content aggregator. Indeed, the new user interface is much more agreable! - Jeroen De Miranda
After a long lull, I am suddenly getting a hell of alot of emails from FB requests and notifications, forcing me to use it more. More than autofeeding is more. - Michael W. May from twhirl
Less for me though. I'm just there to play games with friends. - Carolyn Chan
we can check out at FB Steve, but tell us how in a blog post - we're still following you. ;) - Kevin OKeefe
Yes, the new design makes it much easier - you should give it a try if you haven't already. The filtering is much better than FriendFeed's, but it's more about people and not news - Jesse Stay
I just joined this week. Late to that arena. Turns out that a lot more of the folks that I have made friends with in my travels over the past 18yrs can be found there. - Mathew A. Koeneker
Love the new design. Always been a big user of it though. It's my main social portal. - Rob Record
yes, although I am resisting, I'm finding myself checking it again - Ivan Pope from twhirl
I got dragged in to play scrabble.. thats the only reason that I am there - Peter Dawson
My facebook use has become somewhat sporadic. I prefer Friendfeed for now. - Mattb4rd
agreed, except my 1400 facebook inmails late and their inmails management that still sux so bad don t you think Steve? - Loic Le Meur
I just realized that a bunch of my friends used it so I am trying to friend them - Tyler (Chacha)
I am using it less than ever since becoming a friendfeed fanatic. I might play a game or two on there once in awhile, but I can't get any real networking done there. - Laura Norvig
Well it's great to see some support for the site...it's been nothing but negative talk for a while now, which frankly I don't understand. - Zee.
Not really... - €€€€€€€€
FB is great for storing stuff and for keeping in touch with friends who only use facebook, as well as with friends who network over a wider range of platforms. The games are a distraction. I have found a surprising, diverse number of old and new friends are using facebook. - Chris Loft
Yeah ever since I joined Twitter and Friend Feed I haven't really been on facebook. - Sheraz Mahmood from twhirl
I'm finding the same thing ... seems my real-world friends have woken up to and have pulled me back it. It's great to actually connect with people there - something I honestly was not doing at all for a very long time. - Jonathan Greene

Access : Physicists spooked by faster-than-light information transfer : Nature News - http://www.nature.com/news...
"Two photons can be connected in a way that seems to defy the very nature of space and time, yet still obeys the laws of quantum mechanics. Physicists at the University of Geneva achieved the weird result by creating a pair of ‘entangled’ photons, separating them, then sending them down a fibre optic cable to the Swiss villages of Satigny and Jussy, some 18 kilometres apart." - Daniel Schildt from Bookmarklet

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation." - Thomas Brox Røst
