Has anyone tested Evernote on Snow Leopard? I'm looking at http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ and apparently it doesn't work very well.
Using it now. The Safari plugin doesn't work but the menu bar options seem to work fine. I'm using the "Paste to Evernote' for the time being. Using Version 1.4.8 (55604)
- sean andersen
Also I haven't tried putting Safari into 32bit mode to see if the plugin will work. Will try soon, as I need my Xmark bookmark syncing back soon.

Just tried to clip this page from Safari (in 32bit mode). No problem here.
- Peter van Teeseling
I have 2 "garbled" text notes since upgrading to SL, and I am also seeing a message on start up Could not open evernote.sql. I just dismiss it and it seems OK from there on. I am running Safari in 32 bit as recommended until there is an update for 10.6.x

The Death of Auto-Tune? T-Pain’s Got an iPhone App for That - mashable.com - http://mashable.com/2009...
It’s becoming clear that iPhone applications are a great promotional tool. Movie studios, websites (we have our own iPhone app!) and musicians are all using the App Store to offer up content to fans and promote their brands. Because there are so many applications fighting for attention, the key to creating a good promotional application is to build in something special that gets people talking.

Tonight is the beginning of the end of the "geeks-only" phase of FriendFeed. Now that Guy Kawasaki is here the marketers will start showing up.

- sean andersen
Robert: I don't mind good marketers, as long as they're genuine. Too many of them (particular the "social media marketing gurus") are just unforgivably obnoxious and fake in their attempts to pimp their own garbage services/blog. So, I really hope you're right :)
- Brett Kelly
Bad marketers on FriendFeed will survive in search results. Do a search for a couple of terms like 'canon 135mm' and you'll see plenty of entries that are just links to people selling the lens. You're not going to block them all. I don't see that as a big problem, but I suspect they'll be successful enough there to keep them coming.

"Now on to Google Wave! - sean andersen" Exactly. Unless the FF core team is over there on the sandbox right now, doing all they can to start the scrambling scrum RIGHT NOW, the big GWave will assimilate all. At least until the assimilation wave after that. FF has maybe a one year window -- if that -- to make it's move, whatever that might be, starting right now.
- michael silverton
Citronella - I like that the spammers are vaporized almost instantly here. Decent built in tools for group reporting.
- BairdWilliamson
If I got here before Guy and I'm geekless does that give me any special designation?
- Kimber Scott
michael silverton: Wave sandbox already looks like Gmail. I bet when they release it, it will be Gmail 2.0. I hope Bret & co. are studying it close...
- sean andersen
Kimber: you are geeky because you were here before...whether you like that designation or not :)

@silverton, agreed that FriendFeed has a limited time window to figure out what it wants to be when it's all grown up.. in other news, can't believe it took Guy this long to show up here to play. Nothing wrong with a little marketing, especially if it's of the "Moving the Freeline" variety.. +1 Gilbert, LOL.
- Alex Schleber
If I were Guy, or the head of any company, be it a camera shop or whatever, whenever I had a little free time, I'd tweet out, "Hey, I'm going to be on FriendFeed for an hour or so, answering any questions about Alltop, telling you about its features, advantages, and benefits, come join in!" or something like that. That's a vertical that feeds off Twitter and really enriches both platforms, utilizing them both for their strengths.

With Leo, Steve Rubel, and Guy K now all here .. this landscape is about to change ... agreed.

- Owen Greaves

- Cesar Sanchez
So, do you think the population will tend to shift to more casual people than the creme de la creme people. I feel so, since there are only the innovative, open-minded people on FriendFeed right now; and I think the change is pretty near.
- Yiğit Arda Türkoğlu
Marketing guys have always been here. The difference... tactics and respect. That being said change is always happening and even still I'm not sure Friendfeed will hit the critical mass Twitter has with marketers. The friendfeed brand will likely be defined differently than Twitter and attract different people. Time will tell.
- Jim Goldstein
from iPhone
why? can't marketing guys and geeks get along?
- kakuei
No. We cannot get along. This war has been waged for too long, and too much blood has been spilled. Most of us no longer even remember why we are fighting, but it doesn't matter. Victory is all that matters.
- DGentry
The marketers are already here, but most of them are totally clueless about how friendfeed works. They somehow think they can dump their stuff here and it will get "found" and when that doesn't work, they just go back to twitter. The ones that do understand how it works either feel it is too much damn work to fake being real to be worth it, or they are the real deal and it works quite well for them.
- April
April: I think there's some cost-benefit analysis going on there. There's a smaller crowd at FF and it takes a lot more work. Plus, most people here are marketing jaded.
- Trent Hamm
Guy is a marketer, sure, but also a geek. Geeks phase ends when the Celebs show up.
- Garin Kilpatrick
well if they start selling, just dont click "like" or "comment" and they will drop off the page in minutes

Jason Pollock liked this, that is HILARIOUS! He posts the most redundant links on Twitter...a notorious spammer. At least Guy admits what he does, still somewhat annoying. Not sure why Leo Laporte was mentioned, I don't see him fitting that GK mold at all.
- Benjamin Taylor
In retrospect ... it seems to have been a hit and run for now ?? Hoping not. Would be great to see him actively engaging here. A LOT to offer. Marketing crowd? ... No worries - There's always 'block, tackle and hide .....' here

ESPN to show the USC at Ohio State game in 3-D -- latimes.com
Anthony Bailey, ESPN's vice president for emerging technology... "said ESPN would be using its own camera crews and production trucks and will have a separate announcing crew -- Mark Jones and Bob Davie will call the 3-D telecast while Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit and reporter Lisa Salters will do the regular ESPN telecast. ESPN has done "practice" 3-D telecasts in-house, Bailey said, and this latest 3-D experience will include the first use of stereoscopic graphics, which means even the yellow first-down line will be in 3-D."

Having worked for a large IT TLA for many years that acquires small innovative companies because they have the market leadership I agree this is a terrible thing for us FF users. Eventually the FB culture that has meant they can't do, or imagine, the things that FF can, will wipe out the FF culture...what made the FF shop the birth place for such great work will be lost
