DISQUS

I find with all this stuff I'm less interested in the news/speculation, and more interested in how this impacts my life.

What does this mean for Flickr, Delicious, Pipes and Firebug? Those are the pieces of Yahoo that have an impact on my life.

Unfortunately, only time will tell.

I haven't tried to kick the tires, but I do like it.

First in the day: netvibes which I have set up as a quick "check out the blog" as outlined here: http://internetducttape.com/2007/09/25/blog-mai...

Then it's usually Friend Feed to see what's new.

I have a few aggregator sites I use to check into communities.

I'm probably part of 5-6 distinct communities.

I use social media for personal use and to keep myself entertained.

Wrong url on cix.com

Try the scripts at http://ffapps.com

You'll be surprised at some of the added functionality.

Too cute. Love it :)

Yeah, they've been pretty useless since early 2007.

That's the secret to any social app... subscribing to the right people. You have to be ready to unsubscribe if they noise is overwhelming the signal.

Actually.. I don't use the API at all in any of those scripts.

I've yet to successfully be able to write anything interesting using public APIs only. They're always so limited.

I've been hacking together some Greasemonkey scripts to add more features to Friend Feed. The better Twitter integration mashup is pretty good, as it lets you use Friend Feed as your Twitter client without going back and forth.

I think Friend Feed is going to provide a better open social network than OpenSocial ever will.

While I completely agree that most long tail markets will not have enough traffic to justify their existence, the guy is smoking something if he thinks storage/bandwidth will be a problem.

Storage is cheap, cheap, cheap and only gets cheaper. Bandwidth not as much, but now traffic no bandwidth.

Doctor Strange Love

(again, don't want the prize, I already have it :) )

Heh. The script isn't doing anything that smart... all I'm doing is using features on friendfeed that are kinda hidden

One thing I like about Disqus: for some blogs it's very convenient to be able to access them as if they were a discussion forum.

But you're dead on with the javascript issue. I saw the exact same thing happen with Haloscan + Blogspot. You really want to have your comments as part of the blog and getting them out of external sites is a pain in the ass.

I want me some friendfeed.com/popular real bad.

Being John Malkovich

I have the movie, so I don't want to be entered in the draw :)

I haven't been in Google Reader this week.

FriendFeed all the way.

I find it's the commenting feature that I like most.

They are sitting on a goldmine though. They're inches from becoming a very competitive news aggregator.

There's so much metadata about what people are sharing and liking that they can do things with.

interesting idea... a wordpress plugin to reimport meta comments from delicious/digg/ff back into WP.

thanks dcadenas :)

awesome awesome awesome

Best Buy will usually tell people to use credit cards instead of debit because of that issue.

You can (and should) call your bank to increase the limit temporarily when you're doing something like buying a car or buying an engagement ring (both things I've done with my debit card).
