good luck with that. i junked mine. opted for the hp2133; a superior box in every respect @ approx the same price range. The EEE we had ran an educational shell on top of linux not xp. We look at it for desktop replacement of student boxes and found that it did not meet our needs. But it is quite the conversation piece thats for sure. gl.
- Carlos Ayala
The HP looks sweet, it's a bit more expensive and has Vista not XP. The OPML Editor, if I remember correctly, does not run on Vista. So it's not an option for me, I'm afraid. I really only use two pieces of software for most of my work, the editor and Firefox. So if the Asus does both those things I'll probably get value out of it. Otherwise I'll certainly get the moneysworth in learning. It's been a while since I splurged on hardware. I have to do it once in a while.
- Dave Winer
Yes, we have the 2133 running both Vista and XP and we need 2 gigs on board for vista, if not....its a clunker. Thats why we have both. Our seeds were all beefy vista boxes. Our purchases on the other hand..not so much. So we run both OSes. The 901 will be perfect for what you want to do if you do not mind the screen size. Or you can always attach a 24" LCD to it. :)

that is awesome, didn't know these existed. I was checking the MSI Wind and see the Linux version is sold out on Amazon -- does anyone know where else to get them?

I've had a 701 with XP & 1GB RAM for a few months, and I love it. For me it's perfect for what I use it for -- mainly reading e-books on my train ride to/from work, and some web-surfing at home when it's convenient.

sam, I think the point is that if Twitter et al implement Open Microblogging, importing won't be necessary

It needs some "recommended friends" to avoid looking really lame to newbies.

Robert, you just want to get recommended there too. Come on, admit it.
- Kevin L
klecu: nice try, but I've been talking about this before I was on recommended systems here: http://thenextweb.org/2008...
- Robert Scoble
I'm still trying to figure out a reason to use identi.ca. Playing around with it. We'll see.
- Dennis Jackson
I don't understand why it was launched WITHOUT a Replies tab in the first place...
- Mark Douglass
I agree with Dennis Jackson, minus the "playing around with it" part.
- ChaCha Fance
Yes, it lacks some basic features, especially if people are looking at it who are coming from twitter. Not having replies really annoys me, enough not to use it.
- jjprojects
GOOD, that is an essential feature... neat to see it growing so quickly - not only with users, but also features
- Susan Beebe
big feature
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Yep - looks like identi.ca has been built correctly so far too. It *appears* to be scaleing up nicely after a few slow days early on.
- Jonathan Beckett
@critics: Identi.ca is worth supporting, because it is open source. The very reason means that it has the potential of attracting third-party developers that create plug-ins, improve the platform or simply host their own Identi.ca-installations. That's a huge thing. Think about Firefox: It is based on Mozilla/Netscape's code, which was created. AOL didn't do anything with it, but others came and created Firefox (and Flock, Sunbird, Songbird, etc.) because it is open. That's Identi.ca's biggest feature.
- sebmos
Next step must be API.
- Sergey Petrenko
sebmos: I'm still learning about Identi.ca. Your comment kind of pushed me back on the site to research it a bit. I can see this going somewhere. :)
- Dennis Jackson
Replies tab on Indenti.ca is big. I'd also like to be able to export my subscription lists. Edit/delete would be nice too.
- Jeff Evans
Nice to see this feature already. I was talking to the dev yesterday and was asking if I can jump in and provide a solution for it. Cool to see that the guy already did it himself :-).
- Alex Popescu
from feedalizr
Mark Douglass - Twitter launched without a replies function as well, you know. And it took a lot longer than a few days for it to arrive.
- Earle Martin
So if we wildly extrapolate identi.ca's usability increase, it could potentially surpass Twitter in 3 months and Friendfeed in 6. The question then is: will users migrate and become critical mass on the new service? By now we know that critical mass is more important than QoS, as evidenced by the bird and the whale.

- Alan Le
Agree with Alan Le. identi.ca doesn't seem like much of an upgrade. It's a distraction from a better solution - getting everyone over to FriendFeed.
- Jon Galloway
Yep, i'm with Jon there... I really don't see the fuss Identi.ca . Why are we getting excited over replies...ridiculous.
- Zee.
These products are all so new. There's plenty or room for experimentation.
- Harry Myhre
Thanks, Dave! And thanks to everyone who had comments and critiques. I know that people have a choice in which service to use. I'd like to make sure that a) the software has features equal or better to other µblog sites b) the architecture is truly scalable -- from small commodity web hosting to >1M user megaservices.

The point is though that it's not just about Laconica either (though I don't want to distract from what Evan has done). It's about developing microblogging platforms that can speak to each other. Laconica is the first of those, but because it implements an open standard (that will no doubt mature faster now) there will be others /that can speak to Laconica too/. I've written about this recently, http://pastoid.com/y0+.

Now if someone could just combine a FF / Twitter Adobe AIR app -- making sure that tweets weren't duplicated -- that'd be super! Otherwise, it's annoying to feel compelled to run both (and no, I cannot convince all my friends on Twitter to sign up for FF, nor do I feel like creating Imaginary Friends for all of them).

Twirl has not has issues, it just happens to rely on the twitter api being up, which is the unreliable part. As long as the FF API can keep up with demand an Adobe Air app that works as good as twirl would be sweet.

I would prefer to have the "via Alert Thingy"-tagline independent from the comment itself. I second that request.

Of course, some of us might feel that reading a few words of advertising along with each comment is, you know, not exciting.

@Turker: I wrote about that this morning, so yeah, I can confirm. It's still showing my hidden stuff as I type this. I think the fault lies with the FriendFeed API, though. So far as I know, there's no indication of hiding status available.

Thanks Bret. FF web interface is so fast and usable that it is not easy to switch to a desktop application. Nevertheless, good work Jeremy Baines.
- Turker Keskinpala
It really is a nice piece of work, but I find the whole dark/translucent thing too hard to read. I also miss the collapsing of long comment threads (like this one). In fact, I didn't realize how nice a feature that was until I didn't have it and had to scroll and scroll to get to a new comment.
- Chris Johnson
Can someone explain to me, in 42 words or less, why an app like this is better than just accessing FF over the web? Color me seriously confused. I'd try it myself, but I get an error anytime I try to download it (and yes, I have Air installed).
- Adam Lasnik
@Adam Lasnik - Firefox can't handle a lot of tabs (non beta) and I'd rather use Alert Thingy or bTittleTattle then leave FriendFeed open in Firefox. (via Alert Thingy)
- Corvida
@corvida ahh but, FF3 beta is solid and handles a wealth of tabs with great aplomb. :) I've got my eye on AT, but for now it taketh more functionality than it giveth. I suspect with all this attention, though, it will soon giveth a lot more!
- felix
Corvida, or you could do what I do when I want to keep one or two tabs open persistently and easy-to-switch-to (e.g., Pandora): open them in Internet Exploder. What I was hoping to hear was that this Air app offered intriguing / helpful "extras" that one doesn't innately get in the web version. For instance, I use Twhirl because it aurally alerts me to direct messages AND displays all messages to me in chron order on one scrolling page -- something not offered on the Twitter web page.
- Adam Lasnik
@Felix I FF Betas crash on me way more than FF2 and that's more important to me. @Lasnik I don't have IE installed =P Don't want to keep 2 browsers open anways, it's defeating the point in a way. I'm still wasting resources, though I think Alert Thingy is less of a waste.

Okay, just tried it on another computer. Not for me. I find it much harder to read/scan stuff on it vs. the web page.
