FRIENDFEED ALTERT! THIS THING IS AWESOME!!! http://www.peoplebrowsr.com Watch the video, then try it out. I am already hooked. Competes with TweetDeck. Wonder what you think.
- Robert Scoble
Adds groups to Twitter. Plus much better cross-social-network contact management. Plus more.
- Robert Scoble
haha...i was thinking "don't share your password with the world!!" :)
- Zee.
Why am I not seeing a button for Friendfeed at the top?
- Mitch
Lol friend feed alert - where is the flashy lights and whooping sound? :-)
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
eh - you have to log in, they want your id and password for your accounts skip and punt
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Checking it out now...thanks Robert... if you're hooked, I will be too! LOL Yeah, Contact Mgmt!!
- Susan Beebe
If it had friendfeed as well I'd be in.
- Nation Hahn
1st impressions were "far too messy", but i think that's mainly the text. After watching on and trying it out - it's actually pretty impressive. Love the sharing of groups
- Zee.
Look Robert, it loaded that much pics! http://friendfeed.com/e...
- directeur
*hesitantly enters password* I'm trusting you here Robert :)
- Mo Kargas
It would be FAR better if it was an AIR client
- Dennis Howlett
Mo: Jodee is a standup guy. He'll be here soon to answer questions. Directeur: it's an operating system for your social network. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert - this looks EXACTLY like what we talked about a few months back when you and I met up with Tim and Brian to talk about mioNews. Pretty cool, just wish it worked in Safari :P
- Patrick Lightbody
Dennis, it would be FAR^34 better if it was a "normal" desktop app
- directeur
Dennis: gotta start somewhere. They respond to feature requests VERY fast. Patrick, yeah, very similar to what we were talking about, isn't it? A lot of what I asked Jodee for showed up here. Lots of little touches.
- Robert Scoble
top notch stuff. Unfortunately I have to agree with Dennis re: AIR client. Even so, a remarkable interface.
- phil baumann
I'm just hoping it withstands the load.
- Robert Scoble
At first pass, the interface seems pretty weak. Slow, kludgy.
- Aldon Hynes
OK, after the obligatory 30 second look, my findings are: this thing is buggy. I can't really talk - I'm sure many of my projects give that same first impression!
- Patrick Lightbody
Aldon: yeah, it's slowing down already on my system. It's doing a LOT of work behind scenes.
- Robert Scoble
It's a little slow from here in Aus, I assume it's just my connection or Scoble-effect load. Interface is very nice
- Mo Kargas
Mo: I think it's the Scoble effect. It loaded fine for me 30 minutes ago, now it's crawling.
- Robert Scoble
I have no idea how to sign in to this crap. I think it's cuz I'm too busy watching Criminal minds...LOL
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Blame Scoble - it's sloooow as molasses! LOL :)
- Susan Beebe
Rahsheen: I love Criminal Minds. I clicked on the Twitter icon, signed in with my Twitter name and password.
- Robert Scoble
Slow...
- Dave "Freedom 35"
yeah, pretty slow.. idea looks good tho
- Bruno Panara
Just a reminder, they are calling this an "Alpha."
- Robert Scoble
Rahsheen - click the twitter icon in the center to get started... then you'll see
- Susan Beebe
This app looks really great, thanks for sharing Robert!
- Susan Beebe
definitely on the blink...but that's to be expected
- Zee.
Great video, love the idea. I will try again in a couple of weeks when the site can handle the traffic. Great alpha though, this site certainly shows promise.
- Bob Blunk
Glubbish
- Bob Sonin
Robert you've GOT to stop doing this, it's 3:32 in the morning here and I actually unpacked my MBA to check this out now...lol
- Gaby K. Slezák
Made it to email confirmation screen. Now seeing the main screen.
- Dave "Freedom 35"
Bob Blunk: yeah, I will back off of hyping it for now cause it can't deal with the extra traffic. Very slow here. I'll get Jodee to show up here as well. Probably shouldn't have launched the day before Thanksgiving.
- Robert Scoble
looks promising...i'll have to check back later when everyone and their dog aren't trying to get on...
- Trent Olson
If there's one feature I would like Twitter (or third-party) to have, it would be the abiity to see which tweet you sent that someone is replying to. I had someone reply to me about something I said a week ago. I did not remember what tweet she was replying to.
- Dave "Freedom 35"
Scoble: ya, probably should have launched ON Thanksgiving. We would all be too full of turkey and dressing to lift our fingers and navigate to the site.
- Bob Blunk
Guy Kawasaki told me this afternoon that he would rather have his Twitter account than his cell phone (and is betting Mike Arrington $1,000 that he can do without his cell phone for a week to back it up). Now you see why. No blog required. Oh, and this will never even get on TechMeme because it's too lame to look at hot FriendFeed items for tech news.
- Robert Scoble
I think we broke it.
- Jim Williams
Jim: I'm going to upload my Broadcom videos. Maybe that'll help it regain some footing. :-)
- Robert Scoble
What day do you think is best to launch a software product? Aside from yesterday, of course...
- Prolific Programmer
Hello! Thanks Robert for this post. Thanks everybody for using PeopleBrowsr. We are delighted to have you all on board and we must confess that we were not expecting all this traffic today. We know what is slowing down the system and we are working to fix it. Thanks for your patience. The correct link to PeopleBrowsr is www.peoplebrowsr.com. The PeopleBrowsr Team.
- SHHHE
Hiya, SHHHE. Is there a such thing as a Scoble Effect already? You know, similar to being SlashDotted?
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Scobleized?
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
home page does not load. Scobleized™
- Karim
SHHHE (Priscilla) - Love your PeopleBrowsr app ... nice job!! :) YES there is definitely a "Scoble Effect" and this is NOT the first time! LOL
- Susan Beebe
Karim: Blame Scoble™
- Robert Scoble
Video is good. Thanks, Robert.
- Dave "Freedom 35"
doesn't work for me, even "obama" search..
- Justinas Šaltys
If you like this video you should watch the one with Matt Mullenweg at http://www.fastcompany.tv -- first part is up and he was awesome. Talked about the future of blogging (he is the guy who did Wordpress).
- Robert Scoble
They just wrote me and said that they won't do a beta launch until next week and are working on some performance issues (obviously). So, this is a cool very early sneak peak. See you next week when they push out a new code base.
- Robert Scoble
Hey, just noticed that they have a Facebook app for PeopleBrowsr too! http://www.facebook.com/apps...
- Susan Beebe
Hi again. We just fixed the performance bug and the system should be faster now. Thanks again for your support, Everyone.
- SHHHE
Oooh, shiny.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Ehi Everyone. Our Facebook App has not being released yet. Wip: will keep you all posted.
- SHHHE
Connection to YouTube is insecure. YT whines about it, but lets it go through if you allow it. Still, c'mon, if there's a secure way to do it, as YT suggests, why not do it that way? ... Also, Upcoming support doesn't seem to work. Won't link up with my user name, nor the ID number.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Chris, very good point about the YouTube connection. It's something we are working on and it will be released next week.
- SHHHE
@SHHHE Good, sooner the better. Likewise, whatever's got Upcoming all bugged out. I'd complain about the slow speed too, but given what I'm using it's 70% likely to be this computer that's causing it to be slow for me.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Looks like crap on IE.
- Paul Whitaker
PeopleBrowsr has been built to be used on FF3 and Safari 3.1 and it needs broadband.
- SHHHE
IE is crap!
- Prolific Programmer
Not the best of choices. After all, IE is still tops for browsers, whether we like it or not.
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Not according to my analytics...LOL
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
At last a web app that actually likes Safari. Ha!
- Tom Landini
@Rahsheen Unfortunately, there are more mouth-breathing IE users than intelligent folks like us. I'd like to change that, but I can't think of any legal ways of going about and doing so... :p
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Thanx Scoble...I'm curious, why did you choose Kyte instead of qik?
- Anthony Farrior
Anthony: Kyte lets me record on a FlipCam and upload later (I can use cell phone, webcam, FlipCam, our HD cams, etc, Qik only lets me use cell phone). Also Kyte has better distribution/better player. Also Kyte has a better chat room.
- Robert Scoble
I've been using this for a couple of hours and stumbled on some very useful features. A few seconds ago I finished watching your video, and I'm blow away by the potential of this app. It reminds me of a semantic Firefox addon called Headup, that has been inserted into a browser and spiced up with added communication features. Time to put this to use. Thanks again Robert!
- Michael Fidler
hi robert, twitter had some database problems a while ago. What is the effect of peoplebrowsr on the loadavg of the twitter databases? I guess peoplebrowsr is going to increase server requests dramaticly.
- Corné Wielemaker
Is it working? (not for me anyway, though it looks very interesting
- Orli Yakuel
Orli, it's working now :)
- SHHHE
Still not working. Is it crushing just for me? :-\
- Orli Yakuel
looks interesting, although what I dream of is contact synchronisation protocols
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Orli, it might be the browser you're using. I've just had to update Safari to the latest version. Gonna install and try again.
- Nicola Quinn
Thanx Robert for the feedback. Kyte seems to understand how to edge itself out of the mobile video pack...Peoplebrowsr is cool, but I still need a reason to leave the friendfeed page. These apps are just trees whereas FF gives me the whole forest, imho
- Anthony Farrior
I am all about the Real-Time FriendFeed sidebar in Firefox. http://bit.ly/mZLT Always open so I can see what's going on in FriendFeed while I use Google Reader and browse. All I need now is full Twitter integration (see my follows) in FriendFeed and an import box at the bottom of this sidebar and I'll be set.
- Rolf Schewe
I just can't believe it, I remember from where I know this guy! He was hunting just about everyone in TC50 to give him the red chip! (I didn't even know it's worth it, heh!)
- Orli Yakuel
Rolf: thanks for that link. Too bad you can't do sidebars in Safari. That might just be enough to bring me back to Firefox...
- Costa Walcott
Indeed very cool, I just get Invalid Source when linking my Facebook account. :)
- Daniel W. Crompton
Pretty cool - looks Scoblized though. But another tool for doing what FriendFeed is already doing?
- Sean
Looks awesome but I wonder how they are going to keep service online. Yes, there are donations but is that enough to have things running?
- Daniel Schildt
So far I don't see anything that'll move me away from TweetDeck, but I'll keep at it and see if something catches my eye
- Bwana ☠
Looks cool, but I don't see it adding enough to move me away from TweetDeck
- Don Campbell
I wanted to love this. But I didn't: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17...
- Rafe Needleman
@Sean very Scobilized, indeed. But that doesn't mean it's not cool.
- David
I agree with Rafe. I wanted to like it as well but I found it to be the equivalent of a social media bloomberg terminal. Too much happening, having multiple streams update with the same post, etc. Found it not usable. I rarely just sit in front of one UI and just watch scrolling updates like that where it is my sole focus.
- Lou Paglia
Lou, thanks for your feedback. We are still in Alpha, working on the UI. You can do many things on PeopleBrowsr. Did you try the Search or the Groups functions? Very welcome your ideas: http://groups.google.com/group... Thanks
- SHHHE
Is this service still available? I went to the URL but got a blank page.
- B2B Specialist
The new version released today is even more awesome!
