Re: A River of TWiT

If this works, it will be a "proof of concept" for XMPP and real-time streams. I would like to see some type of integration with twit army. I hope twit army does not become obsolete once twit.im launches. Still, I am very excited about all of this, I think Leo, Steve Gillmor and the rest of the gang will be seen a true visionaries just as Dave Winer was for RSS. History is being made.

Are you kidding me? That should *be* his business card :P

Leo, you have one more thing to add to your business card or resume: "Featured on a recaptcha"

Ok, if twitter is Netscape take 2, then what company do you think will buy twitter, and bail them out when things are going wrong?

PS and the reader isn't clever enough. And doesn't care! Well, mine at least. Technical blogs, maybe not.

Well Dave, not to use a cliché, but great minds think alike.

Exactly my thought -- couldn't have said it better.

Claiming that multiple feeds would be "too confusing" makes it sound like the reader is not clever enough to sort out the feeds on his or her own without mayhem. I tend to expect the utmost intelligence out of readers who were the ones who willing subscribed to the feed to begin with. Let people choose what they want.

99% of people don't care if they're reading an excerpt or a "hand-crafted" summation, imho. Granted they're not the same but you're just trying to decide whether to click through. And offering multiple feeds is just too confusing for an everyday non geek.

And if you really care, as a publisher, you could always do an atom feed, which can have a summary _and_ fulltext. But it's much better to have one feed. One less meaningless decision for people to make -- just click the autodiscovered RSS feed tag and you're off.

Hahaha. Another fine example of fine viral marketing by Obama fans.

I want the 2000 McCain back!! He has dulled down so much since then, and has turned into a bitter idiot.

This user-generated content that folks make for Obama is brilliant; however, when it comes to presidency, I would much rather have a technology illiterate old man(John McCain), than a foreign,economic novice who has NEVER held one minute of executive power.

Let's face it, truncating the feeds is a bit janky and is not nearly as intelligent as a handcrafted summarization.

I always feel deceived when RSS feeds are not full text. I like my stuff compartmentalized and not open in a huge number of tabs, which is what happens with partial text RSS feeds.

This may be the thing that will end up propelling FriendFeed ahead of twitter. I really hope this happens, FF is much more elegant and forward thinking.

"Regarding Apple, I think there will be an "ultra-portable" mac out this year."

I'll go out on a limb and say that you won't ever see a Mac in this form factor. The EEE isn't competing against the MacBook; it's competing against the iPhone.

Re: Comcast figures it out (Scripting News)

srod710 — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:55:28 -0000

Cable companys like comcast need to wake up; the future is not televisions or phone, but IPTV. They must change their strategy. No longer should they be a "cable" company, but a company that provides multimedia and services over the internet. As for their new policy, many power users should be semi-happy about this change. Comcast= the Gestapo

The folks at asus really have their ract together. Regarding Apple, I think there will be an "ultra-portable" mac out this year.

You can only say that if you contend that mainstream media are liberal. They aren't. They're corporate capitalists.

Until recently, the dems did not do many non-liberal interviews eiether! I respect Obama for finally sitting down with o'reilly...not easy to do.

Re: Why FriendFeed is growing faster than Twitter (Scripting News)

They know the UI sucks, but I bet they are working on the API so third-party developers can make UI's that are much nicer for different kinds of users. We need a bunch more features before we get a UI redesign, though. For instance, I want to pull out of the database all items that have "n" or more "likes." Since I can't do this it makes it very frustrating to pull out the high value bits and show them to newbies. There's a lot more that needs to be fixed, too, before the UI gets sugared up.
