Video Demo: How to Use Lazyfeed for Real-time RSS Feeds By Topic - http://www.louisgray.com/live...
Daniel Rowley, roamin, Amani and 46 other people liked this
brilliant video on Lazyfeed now I am going to use it properly
- Thomas Power
True, Holden. I try to use my fake voice. :) (You haven't heard the voice-overs on the twin videos?)
- Louis Gray
why is LazyFeed invite only?
- Damir Zubović
Damir, LazyFeed is invite only because I am not in charge. Ethan and Claire know I would like to open it up to everyone.
- Louis Gray
Tnx for info. Greetings from Slovenia.
- Damir Zubović
Your password's too short :-P
- Jesse Stay
the word "password" is too short?
- Louis Gray
:) :)
- Damir Zubović
Louis, yes.
- Jesse Stay
BTW, what screen capture software are you using?
- Jesse Stay
I hand-coded my own screen capture software using a derivative of Objective C, mixed with .Net and AJAX, Jesse.
- Louis Gray
Louis, I need an iPhone app then - will you build me one?
- Jesse Stay
but seriously, what screen capture software did you use to make that?
- Jesse Stay
Snapz Pro X: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utiliti...
- Louis Gray
Very nice - thank you sir.
- Jesse Stay
More video demos == good, btw
- Jesse Stay
Impressed that you hand-coded the capturing, I wouldn't know where to start
- Joe Dawson

We're honored to be your first guinea pig for the screencasting :) You should do this often.
- Ethan Gahng
greta video - got straight to the point :)
- Riaz Kanani
Hi Louis Thanks for the heads up about Lazyfeed. I have tried to register but it needs an invitation code. Can you or anyone in your network please let me know what I should put in? Thanks
- Jane Finch
Very well done, I now have a better understanding of how it works. Anymore invites? Thanks
- Mo Hall
why doesn't Lazyfeed have a feed for FF?
- Thomas Power
Thomas, Lazyfeed's founders are just now getting to understand FriendFeed better. Maybe with time.
- Louis Gray
cool thank you
- Thomas Power
LazyFeed looks great.! Thanks for this video Louis, super interesting (I like your fast pace too). Would love an invite if you have 1.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Hi, thanks everyone for your interest in Lazyfeed. We are excited to tell you that we will be releasing more invite codes via Twitter today. To receive your invite, please follow @lazyfeed on twitter and we will DM you an invite code. This invitation will expire midnight PST. Thank you!
- Lazyfeed
I will have to check this out. I admit that the point of it was not immediately obvious the first few times I used it.
- Bill Kinney
Louis, thanks for this wonderful quick tutorial. I am off to experimenting with Lazyfeed now. I wonder how you use it in conjunction with GReader, since I also find you sharing lot of stuff on GReader as well.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Awesome demo, finally got a chance to watch it.
- Bill Kinney
Love lazyfeed so far, but it won't connect with my Twitter acct even after I set up and click connect - only Flicr, etc..Anyone else have this issue.
- Liza
Liza - I've just tried connecting your twitter to my lazyfeed and it seems to be successfully bringing tags like lazyweb, trip, techkaraoke, etc. Please try again. Thanks.
- Ethan Gahng
Now that is GREAT customer service, Ethan. Thanks.. I want to learn more about lazyweb and ppl interacting from lazyfeed. Seeing it from my google dev friends. Any ideas?
- Liza
Very nice video here. I will use this to share with all my people. Thanks Louis.

You wouldn't have found her annoying if it had been Emily playing her.

LOL Sorry Sean, her voice drives me batty as does that vacant look. They could have used a hand puppet and no one would have noticed the difference. And Joe, I have no idea who Emily is.
- Admiral Anika
Emily Deschanel, she plays Temperance Brennen on Bones. She is the better sister. True story.

Never seen or heard of Bones, so that explains it then.

I'm with Sean. Zooey rules!

I gotta have more Zooey. Not only is she sweet, but she's funny in impromptu off-script interviews. (I don't know that about Emily, so I can't say one way or the other.)

I do like Emily better. But Zooey is gorgeous too. Can I have both?

Ask Mrs. Huebel, Jason. Let us know what she has to say.

It involved my manly parts and a meat grinder.

LOL, see? That's why you're safer chasing after men, D. They understand how painful that situation would be.
- Jason Huebel
@Joe, yeah, I'm thinking not.
- Jason Huebel
Go back and ask if you can just have the one then. See if the answer changes.
- Joe Pierce
Nope. Gnads. Meat grinder. She's very consistent on this point.
- Jason Huebel
@Jason, if it were me, and I'm glad it isn't, This is one thing for which I wouldn't test her to see if she is kidding. We used to have a meatgrinder. You don't get a do-over ;oD

Sadly/scarily/whatever you want to call it--I miss my commute. I had a 40 minute commute with a ten minute walk (on home end) when I lived in NY---it was great reading/down time. I completely disconnected from the world for 40 minutes and, even squashed onto a full train, came up ready to tackle things.

I had a commute that was walking a mile through downtown Seattle: started off with a wonderful carrot multigrain muffin & cappuccino looking over the sound, readng the WSJ, then a brisk walk through Pike Place to south-of-downtown (sodo). Ah.

Mary, no worries - it's funny how we see each other comment on friends' feeds so often that we think we're already subscribed. I've done that on more than one occasion. I'm not going anywhere. I would love to transition this more over to Facebook as it makes sense, but FriendFeed still solves things for me, activity or not, that no other network does.
- Jesse Stay
No Facebook for me! Back to end of the line. :)
- imabonehead
It's quiet here, no doubt about it. My feed is like a ghost town for the most part. Things have really changed over the last three or four months. Yet, many of the core people I like to interact with are still around, so I can't complain.

What does that mean?
- Mona Nomura
I still can't believe those people think Twitter is a better tool for conversations. Nothing changed functionally with FF yet. Just who owns it.
- Spidra Webster
There are more people on Twitter - I can have simultaneous conversations. Since they changed the @ reply, where you only see @s of people you are following makes the experience a trillion times better. I LOVE Twitter and have made TONS of great friends on there! The network is so tight over there, it's neat how once you meet/connect in person, the bond is stronger :)
- Mona Nomura
I hate having my stream polluted with @s. I want threaded conversations not reliant on 140 characters - Twitter is for initiating the conversation right now. It's too hard to carry a real conversation over there. (and yes, I use Twitter, too)
- Jesse Stay
Mona. What about conversations involving more than 2 people?
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
I have those all the time, you @reply? And / or cc
- Mona Nomura
Bah, I can't have a convo on twitter. Replies fall all over each other, there's no threading and no direction. As I've said, it's like a collection of clunky SMS messages. Real time does it right, that is FF and chat programs, hell, even Google Wave. Twitter? Nope.
- Mo Kargas
To each their own but I love Twitter - mainly because of the people :)
- Mona Nomura
I love Twitter, too, just for different reasons.
- Jesse Stay
I like twitter due to the amount of active users, but not because of its dismal conversation abilities.
- Mo Kargas
Mona, cc is an interesting idea... Pity it takes away from the content. 140 characters - 3 people's @reply doesn't leave a lot.
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
I've been absolutely loving what you have been sharing lately Jesse, recently moved you to a position on "my board by feed" in a private Friendfeed Group.
- Deano @ Byron New Media
I used to worry about my timeline polluted with @s but once I got over that insecurity, I am addicted. Plus it's SO ultra convenient. I also love how there are so many different communities that are intersected but not.
- Mona Nomura
Thanks Deano! I'll try to keep it up.
- Jesse Stay
<140 is what makes it so great. Cuts the crap out.
- Mona Nomura
I like Twitter, it just doesn't work for me. I'm here for the people then the tools. Size of community means little when quality trumps quantity.
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Mona, how does that measure in conversion though? @s vs. no @s, 140 characters vs. non?
- Jesse Stay
@Mona Nah, enables more crap. I reckon less characters leads to a dumbing down of everything. It would be a dismal life if all conversations were in 140 character chunks
- Mo Kargas
I use Twitter as well, as anyone who's subbed to me here can see. But I mostly reserve it for communicating with people who aren't already on FF.
- Spidra Webster
Again, to each their own. <140 is enough for me. Gets to the point quicker.
- Mona Nomura
@Spidra I use it as a megaphone, which is what it is. A collection of broadcasts at each other and little else
- Mo Kargas
Mo, yup, it's a "microblog" - that's what it was built to be. There is no comment structure built in (yet).
- Jesse Stay
Just like your blog, it's where you start the conversation. Unfortunately you have to take it elsewhere to make that conversation engaging and have maximum conversion.
- Jesse Stay
How is that unfortunate? If anything, it should be a motivating factor TO blog. I've seen MANY blog pieces written from convos generated on Twitter.
- Mona Nomura
Mona, it's unfortunate because I can't organize that conversation the way I do my blog. Each comment is its own individual blog post - it's distracting and breaks up the flow.
- Jesse Stay
@Mo Yeah, that's mostly it. Although I have short bursts of conversation with fans of The Guild and other folks.
- Spidra Webster
Mona, I have seem many blog posts generated by discussions here, Facebook and even around the watercooler as well. The content means more than the delivery system. Twitter works for you, I wish I could master it... But I have a hard time believing that Twitter is the killer service the mainstream hype builds it to be. Yahoo bought Geocities for 3.6 billion back in the day.
- Johnny Worthington

47 comments ain't bad for a post late at night. I'm just saying.
- Spidra Webster
47 comments from 5 or more people in the one spot is cool too
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Again, to each their own. I also like how there are many communities on Twitter and I can choose which convos to participate in. Here, it's more like a...family? All the same people all the time.
- Mona Nomura
In the main feed, maybe. The rooms are where you find new people, saved searches too. It's all who you sub to... No matter where you are
- Johnny Worthington

Ok, Johnny.

Kozmo had cool shirts too
- Allen Stern
I've never seen Kozmo's shirts
- Jesse Stay
That's probably why they weren't bought and went out of business
- Jesse Stay
i wonder if there is a correlation "tshirts = acquisition"
- Allen Stern
goodnight everyone - be well, update often and remember in life, there are those that tweet and those who wish they were tweeting.
- Allen Stern
Allen, there is - FriendFeed was acquired weeks after I got one of their shirts. Social Median was acquired weeks after I got one of their shirts. I'm a good-luck charm. :-)

Good night Allen

This conversation has happened over and over - it's at a pianissimo intensity right now, which isn't too rattling. Mona, you're an all-terrain social networker - you work the FB, the FF and the TWTR with equal comfort. I'm happy for you and I will let you finish :) Johnny puts it how pretty much how I feel personally about the landscape. Jesse, the feeds are down volumetrically (in N....

- Allen Stern
Allen, I would love that!

Whoa kozmo the delivery service? I loved them. I used to have sandwiches and smokes delivered all the time.

I just looked at some blog stats for a couple of "big fish" on Compete.com today, and it looked like most of the internet is experiencing some sort of engagement drop-off (even TechCrunch's and Mashable's numbers are down a bit...). I can only speculate that this is some sort of general burn-out toward the end of an intense, helter-skelter year that passed by faster than the mind could comprehend...Social Media exhaustion? "All your brain cycles are belong to us..." :)

Also, last year we were in the middle of the US elections. I wonder if a November Dip happens on the off election years...

Johnny, in news that's generally true. Novembers are usually full of either elections or hurricane news. Without either you usually have a slow season. That's what I remember from working at Media General, at least.

Well I know I am busy at work and getting things ready for te end of the year. I have noticed a lull across a lot of places I exist in. We also have to consider that 'mainstream' attention comes in waves. Could the shine of Ashton and Oprah on Twitter be fading and it's not a 'Oooow shiny thing' anymore?

Johnny, I think Twitter's just beginning so I doubt that.
- Jesse Stay
I have a $US1 here that says Twitter will be what Myspace is now in 2 years.
- Johnny Worthington

Johnny, I think the way it is set up now that's very likely - it will all depend on how they adapt. Based on past experience it doesn't look good, but they are hiring well so we'll see.

Still here Jesse :)
- Charlie Anzman
I'm still here too, just working on some projects at the moment making my contrib. less freq.

Scoble's theory was in fact empirical, we(the friendfeeders) tried to counter him whenever he sid things like that. shame on us

I just "chipped in." :-)

Twitter's where most of the people I interact with are. Not here, unfortunately. I tried to get some people over here for the better part of a few months, but then they got bought by facebook, and forget about getting anybody new over here now...
- Bill Kinney
Looking back over your posts for the last 24 hours was kind of heavy on Facebook and Twitter stuff which probably isn't going to garner much in the way of likes or comments on FF. Some stuff on shuttle launches, but those are kind of routine. Outside of JPL and the great observatories, NASA has managed to make the space program boring.
- Ed Millard
I find that it is a bit harder to generate the conversation over here than it used to be, but it is still there. And there are still lots of great people on here so it remains a worthwhile place in my mind.
- Martha
Twitter? I'm like... I'd do Twitter... yeah, an account for FriendFeed for sure, but...
- David Feng
I guess it's not you. I get the same....i wish Scoble was active on FF like before even if he was so wrong about FF. Or i wish he still believed that he was right.

Jesse's original question assumes he was interesting at some point.
