Tweetie is my favorite iPhone app - feature rich, supports multiple accounts, saved searches, etc.

in Got information overload? Get filtrbox, but don’t pay quite yet on VentureBeat
Dan, thanks for covering Filtrbox and for your feedback. A few minor corrections - we cover millions of sources in total, not thousands. The application does auto-refresh when new articles are found for recently added Filtrs, and we are expanding that feature to cover all of your Filtrs so the UI stays as fresh as possible for everything. We will be closely listening to the market vis a vis pricing and features and are committed to providing the best product we can at an attractive price.

Dan Kaplan Ari,

Thanks for pointing out the sources inaccuracy. It's been fixed.

As for the auto-refresh, I did find that some issues remain unresolved. When I added a new filtr, nothing containing the keyword appeared for quite some time, and when I made changes to an existing filtr (e.g. adding keywords to exclude from the searches), articles containing the excluded keywords remained in the feed, even after new articles came in.

That said, I do think that filtrbox is on its way, and with a few issues sorted out will be worth the money, indeed. I think that perhaps it shipped just a bit prematurely, which is why in the title I suggest that users not pay for it "quite yet."

in Happy birthday Lijit! on The Lijit Blog
Happy Birthday Lijit - another great milestone! Now, is the birthday based on when the product launched publicly or the date of incorporation? I can never figure out when companies really "start".

in Are You Listening or Just Hearing Me? on Learn To Duck
Daniel, great point about the focus groups. Its great to see more and more businesses starting to pay attention and engage in the various communities/mediums that are out there now.

Being able to take the feedback in and do something about it quickly is essential. I hope larger businesses figure out how to move quickly also. T

in Twitter Opens Their Messaging Platform on Stay N' Alive

does this mean we'll see a new flurry of twitter clones? or that Twitter now feels secure enough in its market position and brand that giving away the core messaging tech won't impact their growth?

in Macs are even more expensive than I thought (Scripting News) on Scripting News
Hardware manufacturers only have the right to take the failed hardware back for QA if it's a warranty event. Having you pay above fair-market retail for a replacement drive (ok, maybe they are charging 40 bucks for labor to install and reconfigure?) then ALSO taking that drive back is a flawed policy. Disappointing to see Apple with a policy like this. Makes me glad I know how to replace drives myself rather than taking them to the Apple store!
