"That problem sounds pretty bad, though, I think they mean Motorola customer support or your network. Open source doesn't necessarily mean you have no support, the company you buy the phone from should provide the support. If you buy a Linux distribution with support, the company that makes the distribution provides support - also if you don't like the support you can switch to very similar product from another supplier. With Microsoft, if they won't fix the problem no one else can step in. I doubt Microsoft will do support directly either and they often leave bugs in their products for years. For example Microsoft Outlook performs very badly as an IMAP client and has done for a number of years, Microsoft stopped developing Internet Explorer for 5 years at the height of it's popularity and the growth of the Web - leaving 1000s of bugs unfixed." - Richard Cunningham

"What we really need is for a lot more of the smaller social networks to start implementing Activity Streams, AtomPub & PubSubHubbub like Google have been doing with Buzz. That would make it much easier for people to make social network clients that support 100s of different social networks." - Richard Cunningham

"My comment wasn't really that you'd got it wrong. My comment was really that there are already too many platforms to survive. I note for example, neither FourSquare or Gowala have Nokia/Symbian apps, despite the Nokia having quite a few popular phones with GPSes in them and even pre-date the iPhone in having a GPS." - Richard Cunningham

"The fact you didn't even mention Nokia, illustrates how much of a problem this is. Nokia has 52% market share worldwide, 31% in Europe but is overlooked by American companies, presumably, because it only has 4.5% market share in North America: http://stats.getjar.com/statis... People need to write for the web, otherwise it's going to limit competition." - Richard Cunningham

"We do some of this in FriendBinder. On the front page of our search feature we show the most popular links from your friends and who linked to it. This includes tweets, delicious, Diggs and Facebook shares from your friends. There are some screenshots at http://friendbinder.com/tour/ (3rd one down) You can also drill down to see what your friends said about the links and search for what your friends said about any topic recently e.g. "iPad" and of course that searches their tweets, Facebook, Diggs, delicious etc. I'm working on an improved version of this feature which will do more with filtering down your incoming stream to filter out some of the noise. You can find at http://friendbinder.com and I'd be very interested to get people's feedback on what we've done." - Richard Cunningham

"Congrats! It's funny your first post was the same month I started working on FriendBinder. Even though FriendBinder was always about consuming content and reducing noise from the start, I've enjoyed reading about the various lifestreaming sites." - Richard Cunningham
