Umm, ok. So click and start typing is too hard if you're Steve Rubin. Did your mom help you add that comment?

Haven't had the chance to see Google Wave yet. Even though it's being released in Google's constant state of "beta," I wonder if usability feedback will help fine tune it.

This was true until Google Wave. Still remains true for Apple.

I don't think so, no. I've been prompted for updates twice previously by the alpha build, but just manually forced an update check, and it tells me I have the latest version.

Nuts, that's too bad! Is there a later build?

I just checked, and there is no option to install a portable version like there is in the desktop 3.0 version. I'm guessing that may just be due to this being an alpha, but that's just a guess.

I didn't notice any problems with data integrity. I had it installed on the same machine with the 3.0 version, too, and sometimes went back and forth between them (although I think I had the local database file for each in a different location).

Great. Any issues with data integrity either?

Good question- I will check it out when I get home this evening and report back.

Can you install it on a USB drive too?

I have to agree with your thoughts here. I love the new Web client and have made it my default.

@Chris I email in the embed link as an iFrame and it works great (they recently added iframe support). Also, I send the YouTube link directly as someone suggests below.

Re: Blogging is back…

In July of 2008 I saw the same thing. I said the importance of blog linking was declining.

http://louisgray.com/live/2008/07/importance-of...

It is still important to be engaged with the community, but it just doesn't drive traffic. I used to think maybe it was because I had gotten more visible (like those who read Robert probably know who I am already), but it is true across the board. My top traffic sources are Google, followed by Friendfeed and Twitter.

Yes where is the "FriendFeed this comment"

Re: Blogging is back…

Long ago (circa 2005-2006) a link from Scobleizer.com or Techcrunch would send thousands of people to my site. I was linked to by both sites in the last month and barely saw a blip - although many came under "direct" and Google which could have been your RSS feed.

Nowadays, though, a link from twitter.com/mashable or twitter.com/garyvee can send thousands of readers. That's part of the reason why I moved from a blogging platform that can syndicate out and also bring back comments in from these same networks. So I agree, gravity has shifted. (leaving this on Frienfeed too under your post)

In this ADHD world, you have a point Steve. It's amazing to me that the faster technology gets, the less time we seem to have. Shouldn't the inverse be true?

Re: I Still Rather Like Blogging

This is a good discussion to have- one that the fragmented nature of Twitter would make it impossible to do.

I think that the "optimal" answer sits in between blogging and status updates. I would like to see the feature set Posterous and Friendfeed merge so that I can manage all my inflows and outflows from one interface but have it go everywhere.

That said, I still think about the future of long form content in an attention-starved world.

We're pulling for you. Thank you for being so open.
