My MAC Journey begins. A lot of MAC related questions/queries will come your way in next few days. Apologies if it's a overkill
What is the best File/Folder Sync. program for MAC and Windows
- Tejas Patel
WOW Factor for the Macbook Pro hardware - 6/10 [Currently my PC notebook has a WOW factor of 4/10 and it works great and performs good too]
- Tejas Patel
WOW Factor for Mac OS X - 5/10. This is what I think after using it for 2 days. I have used Windows all my life so I am still learning but the good thing about the OS X is it's simplicity.
- Tejas Patel
Congrats on getting the MacBook Pro, I know you'll enjoy it. Head over to my site for some free tutorials - www.screencastsonline.com
- Don McAllister
Overall, I have found the learning curve not that bad. I find less configuration options, means less confusion and less things to worry about. The configuration options available are the ones that are critical for the application compared to micro granular configuration options available under Windows and it's app.
- Tejas Patel
Simplicity and precision works! Apple has proven this with their products. The product can still be simple and make user efficient in getting the output. Safari Browser : - I am really trying hard to give it a go, but it's not as cool as Firefox neither do I find it more friendly. So I will stick with Firefox as the main browser on the Macbook for now.
- Tejas Patel
If you are coming from a PC background, keyboard shortcuts that can come handy http://support.apple.com/kb...
- Tejas Patel
for file sync try Dropbox. cross platform should be ok and it's free. Programs I install on all my macs and can't live without: Quicksilver (launching apps and sooo much more), Textexpander to save lots of typing, 1password for password management, pathfinder (finder on steroids)
- Carey Lumeng
make sure to try Spaces app to expand available screen space
- Carey Lumeng
Carey - I have configured Spaces and using that already , Thanks. Any other pointers?
- Tejas Patel
Carey, I will try out other things you suggested.

Personal Branding Interview: David Brier - http://www.personalbrandingblog.com/persona...
Give me 4-6 reasons their customers should give a damn about their product. Then converting that into something remarkable, captivating, engrossing and exciting. If you don’t have that, you’ll never arrive at that terrific “dialog” everyone talks about having with their customers. Well, it’s hard to have a conversation of you’re invisible

WriteRoom is coming to the web and it will sync with iPhones http://www.writeroom.ws/

What are the examples where you think WriteRoom can provide value?
- Tejas Patel
I'm a power-user of WriteRoom for mac, but I've never bought the iphone app. Simply, the iphone is already monotasking, I can't find any use for WriteRoom there.
- zio bonino
@tejas on the iPhone or desktop? I love its simplicity on both.

Everyone is giving me heck in London about how I'm a FriendFeed cheerleader. Truth is, I don't understand FriendFeed either. Talk to me:
Bo Stern, Diana Lewis, Ton Zijp and 46 other people liked this
LOL! A FriendFeed Cheerleader!
- Matt Ruiz
I don't understand it either
- Doubledown_inSL
If you don't understand FriendFeed then I must be really lost
- Susan Beebe
Of course these are the same people who told me three years ago "Twitter is lame" so not sure I should listen to them.
- Robert Scoble
Robert- what don't you understand?
- Brett Kelly
Gimme an F! Gimme an R!....
- Jeremy Brooks
friendfeed will make sense a year from now
- Doubledown_inSL
Robert - listen to your gut. :)
- Matt Ruiz
Robert wants to know how to gain 100,000 followers in 3 minutes
- Doubledown_inSL
Well that is a bit of a problem, it has a steep learning curve!
- TobiasVerhoog.com
Brett: I don't understand how FriendFeed will beat Facebook. ;-)
- Robert Scoble
friendfeed's learning curve looks like heaving boobies
- Doubledown_inSL
Brett: and I don't understand why being a cheerleader for something is bad, especially when I'm right.
- Robert Scoble
And when you shake the iPhone app, it updates! (wait... no... that's not FriendFeed....)
- Linda Mills
FriendFeed is like the new geocities
- Doubledown_inSL
Does Friendfeed have to beat Facebook?
- Kim Landwehr
Anyway, this is what happens when I get drunk with traveling geeks and Paul Carr. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Sounds like everyone in London is going to be viewing this conversation soon. So, don't wonder, just look.
- Martha
If the web tool is adding value to what you are doing, nothing wrong in being a cheerleader for it
- Tejas Patel
London is asleep right now
- Doubledown_inSL
Martha: I don't understand how to make Paul Carr understand. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Doubledown: London is just getting started right now.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, if you were a FriendFeed thought leader we would all cheer.
- Dutch Driver
Let's all cheer for Friendfeed. Gooooo Friendfeed!
- Asgeir
I don't understand it either, but I still love it.
- Oracio
I really WANT to like friendfeed more, just seems good in theory though
- Doubledown_inSL
Oracio: I'd say something sexist right now, but even though I've had too many glasses of wine I won't.
- Robert Scoble
Surely cheerleaders don't really understand what they're drawing people's attention to anyway ;-)
- littlegingerkid
from iPod
The only reason I really have a FriendFeed account is to talk to you. Facebook has commoditized just about all the other 'niche social services' into a familiar interface for the masses. So as far as 'friend feeding' is concerned, there's really only one site shaping up to matter the most — and that's Facebook. For that reason, I don't see FriendFeed reaching past the early adopter crowd anytime soon.
- Colin Anawaty
I've been trying to figure it out. As a result liking it more. That's normal.
- Bob Morse
Robert lets go home , dont drink so much there :-)))
- Johni Fisher
Robert: Don't let me stop you. Ha.
- Oracio
You could be called worse things than cheerleader!
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Hey Robert - need any London restaurant recommendations?
- Patrick Jordan
Colin: based on the reactions I've had in London I think the mainstream is coming within six months. This is how people used to treat me when I cheerleaded Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
I just love logging on seeing interesting things role before my eyes :)
- Asgeir
Patrick: no, we were eating dinner at the top of the BT Tower tonight and it was awesome. Even if I had to take some ribbing about my love of FriendFeed.
- Robert Scoble
its a feel good kinda place....
- Bob DeMarco
Friendfeed wont be the shiznit until I can invite all of you into my vampire mob guild
- Doubledown_inSL
Patrick: I'll post photos later, gotta go back to the bar cause Rocky is calling me. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert: perhaps you're right. I like some of FriendFeeds features and they are uniquely different, but is it enough? I'm not convinced... yet.
- Colin Anawaty
Its a social data sharing/discovery space to me.
- Darren Stuart
London feels good, especially after some wine. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Hi everybody, FF newbie doing his first "chat" comment here... cheering since a couple of weeks, though
- Fritz Feger
meanwhile....i never saw the comments box move this fast
- Bob DeMarco
we're all newbs
- Doubledown_inSL
Zachary....i'll share the royalties with you
- Bob DeMarco
FriendFeed smells like new car
- Doubledown_inSL
FriendFeed is a community. 'Nuff said.
- Jorge Escobar
Zachary: thank you, I just passed 43,000 today. Wild. Where did all these nobodies come from? Jorge: shhhh, quiet, you don't want the celebrities to hear you, do you?
- Robert Scoble
poor me...still in the blue nowhere of freindfeed
- Bob DeMarco
HAHA! You do read me, Mr. Scoble ;)
- Jorge Escobar
I still don't figure how to find unread comments in between all that masses of text... any hints?
- Fritz Feger
Feger..just read every fifth one
- Bob DeMarco
Love to know how many people on this thread aren't techies. Bet it's close to one. That's counting me.
- Jeff Strank
Oprah. Opera. Oprah. Opera. ... I'm confused
- Doubledown_inSL
hahhaa
- Bob DeMarco
Bob, that's what I do, but it's usually the important comments I'm missing by this
- Fritz Feger
Just put this convo in its own tab. You do use a tab-enabled browser, right?
- Jorge Escobar
i'm a non techie...which explains why i am in the blue nowhere of friend feed
- Bob DeMarco
Techie too...
- Fritz Feger
Who's Operah?
- Jorge Escobar
People didn't just join for Oprah, they also joined for her KFC coupon too!
- Doubledown_inSL
oprah's big sister
- Bob DeMarco
Wine... You have not seen the real London before you been to a few bars drinking Stout :))
- Asgeir
this is kinda like Plato in 1974
- Bob DeMarco
Asgeir: we've had stout. We've had whiskey. We've had wine. What else is on the menu?
- Robert Scoble
No Ale, Robert?
- Jorge Escobar
scoble...a few more and you will understand FriendFeed
- Bob DeMarco
why must FriendFeed "beat" Facebook?
- Brett Kelly
@Natalia, you already can see him in a surfer suit, no need to imagine
- Jorge Escobar
Jorge: I have had ale too! And some cider. I'll post photos later and you'll see why this all matters.
- Robert Scoble
Zachary...that explains it...nobody likes to listen
- Bob DeMarco
That sounds more like it. Welcome to London.
- Asgeir
Brett: so that Paul Carr will stop giving me heck about being a FriendFeed cheerleader.
- Robert Scoble
is this the end?
- Bob DeMarco
yeah..i am in the blue nowhere over there also
- Bob DeMarco
Was nice to meet you and Rocky last night Robert. Albeit only for a minute as you were about to leave the bar :)
- Simon Wicks
What matters is that I don't have access to your secret room, Robert. I hate it. :)
- Jorge Escobar
Bob: hopefully this isn't the end. But if it was the end I wouldn't be posting. My wife would be and it wouldn't be happy.
- Robert Scoble
Robert - have Paul ask a question on the site through you and compare it to what he might see if he poses the same question through you on Twitter and Facebook. That might convince him.
- Martha
Jorge: have I met you face-to-face? Only people I've met face-to-face get access to @secretscoble.
- Robert Scoble
Martha: that's an unfair fight.
- Robert Scoble
I know the rules, Robert. Doesn't mean I don't hate it.
- Jorge Escobar
scoble...go over to my friendfeed...meet my fact and send me the key
- Bob DeMarco
opps face
- Bob DeMarco
You didn't explain that the fight needed to be fair - just effective.
- Martha
I am also a Friendfeed cheerleader :). It simply rocks. Cool features, super stable. It's the best
- alfred westerveld
Jorge: you just gotta meet me and buy me a beer. :-)
- Robert Scoble
i wanna be a FriendFeed cheerleader
- Bob DeMarco
Damn. How many have you had Robert? LOL
- Jorge Escobar
Zachary...exactly
- Bob DeMarco
Jorge: I lost count.
- Robert Scoble
Twitter is lame... but I still wouldn't listen to them :)
- Tim Hoeck
i wish i had a bigger screen like all you techies

- Bob DeMarco
Bob: I'm stuck in London with a 15-inch MacBook, no big screen. Jorge: funny!
- Robert Scoble
Someone Please make the bad mental image of Scoble in a cheerleader's uniform go away!!!
- Sean Reiser
And I haven't had anything to drink
- Jorge Escobar
yeah...well i am stuck in delray beach
- Bob DeMarco
Gooooo FF! Robert is like the captain of the football team here.
- Tracy Benham
Robert..do you look like the Hulk when you are drinking?
- Bob DeMarco
Robert, indeed it's time to change the avatar
- Jorge Escobar
don't do that...i won't be able to find you..since i can't get in the secret room
- Bob DeMarco
Zachary...do you think if i get a cool image like Robert I could pop out of the blue nowhere?
- Bob DeMarco
I think Robert is a goner. He must be snoring, his face in the counter.
- Jorge Escobar
Bob: you don't want to see me angry. You either Jorge. :-)
- Robert Scoble
is the ripley guy here yet?
- Bob DeMarco
Any plans for Cambridge?
- Philip Baddeley

Philip: survival as we punt on the Cam.

- Jorge Escobar
Jorge: no we shouldn't. :-)
- Robert Scoble
HAHAHA
- Jorge Escobar
could be jail
- Bob DeMarco
A great time to bond with your community, and you throw it away?
- Jorge Escobar
Zachary: in London I'm carrying an iPhone and a Nokia N79. I also have a Palm Pre but it doesn't work here cause Sprint didn't turn on the International plan.
- Robert Scoble
This has to bee the fastest amount of comments on any post on Friendfeed
- Asgeir
Jorge: have a beer and bond. Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
just shows you what can happen when people get lonely
- Bob DeMarco
Will do, after I process all the wine I consumed over the weekend ;)
- Jorge Escobar
Bob: I'm not lonely. Just had lots of wine and beer.
- Robert Scoble
i meant those of us that are not drinking and in london
- Bob DeMarco
Bob: that's no excuse. Have a beer and find someone to share it with!
- Robert Scoble
Robert, when's the next time you're in NYC?
- Jorge Escobar
Jorge: I want to visit again soon. Lots of cool stuff happening in NYC, but not sure when I'll be there next.
- Robert Scoble
London England
- Mark
AKA Best City in the World
- Mark
Zachary: come on! Would I really be talking about London, Canada?
- Robert Scoble
Aight. I'm right here in Union Square. Have a great time and hopefully we'll meet P2P.
- Jorge Escobar
test
- Bob DeMarco
Zachary: no wine country around here. Just a great city.
- Robert Scoble
London is great at night, but try working there thru the week. AWFUL
- Mark
Be back later, gotta upload photos.
- Robert Scoble
The man who tires of London, tires of Life.
- Ian May
what the heck..friendfeed through me out
- Bob DeMarco
Now that was tasteless
- Jorge Escobar
I think someone needs to photoshop your icon and change the hulk hands to some green cheerleading pompoms
- Tamara
Zach: Plenty wrong with London, Ontario Canada. Its exactly too far from Toronto, Niagara, Windsor and anywhere else you would want to go to do something on a Friday night and get home at a decent hour :)
- Luke Kilpatrick
How did this conversation go from FF to alcohol consumption to where the best city in the world is? Ahhh, its because of number 2! Have fun all! :-)
- Brandi Madrid
I think this is true
- Bruce.d.Stewart
Ian May I love that: he man who tires of London, tires of Life. Very true
- Asgeir
It was Samule Johnson who said "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" in 1777
- Ian May
Robert, I'm not sure the cheerleader outfit would suit you... :-) Cheers in the UK.
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Ken: I can cheer "rah, rah, rah" along with the best of them. :-)
- Robert Scoble
You mean that Oprah isn't a web browser named after a web browser? ;) /me ducks
- Tyson Key
Scobleizer in Lycra.. .I don't think so :)
- Rhys Amos
Mind you, Samuel Johnson seemed to be a man of much higher intellect, than Boris, who is a bumbling, bungling what-ho public schoolboy twat type.
- Ian May
I think the little white socks are hot, Robert.
- Oldengrey (Jay)
Tyson, LOL!
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
Pompoms? ;-)
- iconic88
Damn I wish I had some pompoms! *giggle* Give me an "F" "F" it again! What's "F F" stand for? FriendFeed! Robert! Those gloves in your avatar should be able to shake things up enough!
- Arleen Boyd
FF is cool!
- Randy Allen Bishop
It's not a food bank?
- John D Reasor
FF has way less spam, and supports actual conversations, choir
- Ian Orekondy
+1 Ian. The signal-to-noise ratio is much easier to handle on FF than on other sites. (Yes, @Twitter, we're talking about _you_. Again.)
- Bill Sodeman
Bill, yes, for sure!
- Myrna
Robert, @secretscoble? Why not just DM. Hey are you going to sleep tonight?
- Myrna
Everyday, I discover the power and flexibility of Friendfeed.
- Ashish
Myrna: yes I'm going to sleep now. Enough craziness for one evening.
- Robert Scoble
I wouldn't say you were a cheerleader, more a bell ringer for the service
- Joe Dawson
Growing up on IRC and AIM, somehow Twitter seemed natural and familiar, while Friendfeed has taken me outside of my comfort zone. Which is exciting!
- Mike Chelen
It's kinda weird. So what is Friendfeed about? It seems to me that everyone just subcribes and never does anything else.
- Chip
Robert, you're *always* a cheerleader for something. When I first started reading you, it was TabletPC (happy days!). And there's nothing wrong with that - you're a natural enthusiast. The only time it ever gets to be a problem is when you forget that whatever you're being enthusiastic about isn't the right way for everyone.
- Ian Betteridge
You are doing with FriendFeed what you do with anything you love, talk about it all the time, get people engaged, then stand back and let them figure out how to use it for themselves. Whats to understand? ^_^
- Dan owns Comicsforge.com
Great. Now I've got a mental image of Scoble in a short skirt and pedal pushers, carrying pom-pons. (You don't really have the legs for this look, by the way.)
- John Craft
John, that's an image I really didn't want at lunch time :)
- Ian Betteridge
Oh, those whingeing Poms in ol' Mother England...ignore them and keep on cheerleading.
- George Hall (Australia)
How do I block all of John Craft's thoughts from making visuals in my head? :-)
