Re: I read it on iReddit - the official reddit iPhone app arrives

Gotta be honest I am not noticing a difference in page load times. At any rate I would have thought that they are using the safari shell to do so in which case it should be the same load times. Maybe it is the distraction of the reddit dude??

Cheers - found it! I must be blind or something. Still gotta say that it is not that intuitive a place to be looking for it. Also be nice to have a list of "saves" through the app itself as well as the web page. Just a suggestion.

Using the app and it is pretty cool. One major thing - great that you can save a link on reddit - but where are they?? I can't find them anywhere - either in the app or on the site...

Thanks for testing out the Disqus comments :)

So does that make it good or bad?

The open source will be the decider IMHO - what people do with it that is. I can see a lot of servers running something like it - or maybe some services that pop out of the code - I dunno but being open source anything is possible. But I think it is what sets it a part in many respects and why it might get there in some shape or form. As far as a micro blogging service, same same. I am playing the wait and see thing now.

I am using FriendFeed a hell of a lot more. I hate Plurk - the interface is awful. twitter are yet to get their shit together... all bets are off for the moment I think.

I think that you have just reminded me what it is - I disabled 3rd party cookies on websites - I just found a distinct disadvantage - I am using Firefox 3 - they added that feature back in! I am an idiot... I'll let you know if it works.

Re: How to make FriendFeed useful: Drop the Twitterati

Dave_Gray — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:53:44 -0000

In some ways I agree. Dropping twitter from the stream will cut down significantly on the noise and as you say make it more useful. Mainly because you are left with more in depth material, as opposed to the - "eating dinner" twitter posts. But I would disagree with the idea of getting rid of people that are making conversations. But then I guess that depends on your idea as to what you want those conversations to be. I personally have not thought that these conversations were dominated by people talking predominantly about FF or twitter.

Please someone tell me why Disqus thinks I am unverified - I did register and claimed this profile above - now I think it thinks I am not the same person... weird.

Sorry Loic - unrelated :P

Bullshit is fine with me Loic... :)

Re: What a write off

StevenHodson — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:02:39 -0000

combined with stupidity :) .. being my daughter I can get away with saying that because of all people she should know better given that computers have been a peripheral part of her life ever since her mother and I have been together (going on 15 years).

Warned her though that if the machine comes back to me again with the same sort of problems that I have given her the sommon sense guidelines to protect herself with there won't be hours spent trying to rescue anything .. it'll be a straight nuke the machine and start over again ... maybe that way she'll listen and learn to what a cranky old fart has to say :)

I gather by the tags that her problem was the usual.

Actually, any relatively new PC will be able to output to ANY TV with the correct cable. :)

I've been using my computer with a TV connected to it since 1997, using it for slideshows among other things, so I don't really see the "innovation" behind this whole issue :D

Louis Gray — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:52:03 -0000

As for being "Gray"... I was here first. :-)

Scoble may like Qik now, but I bet it won't last. He has a short attention span. Is Kyte.tv over and done? What about Facebook and Twitter?

I listened because it was Dave Winer, and he has a good track record. But this isn't a revolutionary service in its current incarnation. Forget A-List. I respect the guy because he's accomplished real innovation, as opposed to talked about others who have (pick your A-list and B-List to fill in that void)

Re: You to can have a $600 slide show maker

StevenHodson — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:17:17 -0000

I haven't even taken a look at Qik and don't have any intention in doing so. Chances are next week it will be something else just as a couple of weeks ago it was Kyte.tv .. or however it is spelled - who knows anymore.

Re: You to can have a $600 slide show maker

Dave Gray — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:08:03 -0000

That is the irony imho - you don't need a Mac to do this! Any PC can do it with the right telly and the right cable. So where is the buzz in that?

I agree Dave is usually on the ball but, this is just another app for a Mac and not a great one. That is how much buzz it deserves, not the total flip everyone has done on it.

Not only am I the second "Gray" to post a comment and that comment is straight after that one (that is just freekin weird :P ) I am also here to say that I totally agree Steve.

Not only that I have to laugh at the fact that Scoble has found another useless medium to broadcast crap from in Qik! Geeze.

To me this is not that new in so much as you can ook up any decent LCD tv to a computer via the DVI slot... now you can treat it like a monitor - even show a slideshow! So I just don't get it at this point and time - or is it because Dave Winer came up with it that we are supposed to prick our ears and listen... please the days of the A-lister are done. NEXT!
