What can I say. Getting sick of people not anticipating success. I mean, you're at TC50, you're (apparently) launching a geek's wet dream, so, yeah, of course you don't need a lot of servers. So Twitter-like for now, I stopped caring.

Tough choice for my future communication service... Google Wave or Threadsy???
- Philippe
Signed up for it and filled the survey which is a nice way of extracting information from people that are eager to try it out.
- Usman Bashir
What's the deal in the survey where we promise not to blog about it?
- Vezquex: God of FF
Too early to tell what it's like Zee as it's just a request for an invite. Is the promise not to blog a clever marketing ploy I wonder? One thing - it always frustrates me that when I fill out my UK address on most sites it still insists on my filling out a state (or I can't register). We don't have 'states' in the UK so why try and appeal internationally and then limit it to US subscribers - unless we make up an address as I just have!
- PaulJohnson
I just put UK when it asks for my state, most forms dont seem to bother checking its really valid as long as you put something in :)
- Simon Wicks
Seems like Threadsy sits between FriendFeed & Google Wave. Frankly I'm not willing to invest in another product till after trying Wave with others.
- CannonGod
CannonGod: but how long will it be until Wave is accessible by the general public? I thought it was gonna be a while like a year or more.
- Bryan Lee
I'm with CannonGod on this one if it sits between FF and Wave - seems better to just invest in Wave
- Wang Yip
@Bryan: Google Wave is expected for release by the end of September. Threadsy might have known this and decided to release just before to get some coverage.
- CannonGod
I sent in email and survey some hours ago. Still nothing.
- Manuel Mas
Just got my invite and started playing with Threadsy. So far I like the AJAX-y inbound box. Can't test the unbound box too much because overall my friends are not into social sites. Bummer!
- Philippe
Is there anyone out there with a better video demonstration of the product?
- Manuel Mas
Had my invite but suddenly lost access to the site. When I tried to log in one day after first successfully accessing the site, I got this error message: "couldn't log you in with that information". :(
- Philippe
I tried to reset my password and I get this message: "success! we just sent an email to you at". I did not leave my email address out of this message, this is exactly what I get on my screen and one day later I am still awaiting my password reset. I have a bad feeling about this one... :(
- Philippe
Trying it out now but cant seem to add facebook or any other services expect gmail & twitter.
- Usman Bashir
Whoa! This comment stream escaped my notice. We're trying to get threadsy invites out as quickly as possible to everyone who requests one. Thanks for your patience!
- scott
trying it, wish there was a way to filter the twitter stream
- Kim Landwehr
NO DAMN WAY!! FF is the best the greatest ever.. no real alternative
- FFTornado
Got my invite on Friday night but I haven't tried it yet. The lack of OAuth etc for the various accounts makes me a little worried about putting in my details. For Gmail you just enter your username and password. There's no 'getting permission from Google' stage. It's a shame because I really want to try it...
- Martin Bryant
Martin Bryant: Thats the exact issue i have with it, i did try it out but giving it login details to so many important accounts is the wrong way forward they should look in to other methods of solving this issue like the OAuth, Facebook Connect & etc.
- Usman Bashir
It's great for Facebook and Twitter, but it lacks the features of a full email client. This is a good trend in computing, where people can choose apps independent of the protocol.
