Just not working for me at all. Trying it out on my tumblr with the rss feed going into friendfeed.com/zee - nada. Here is the post i tried it on http://zsection.tumblr.com/post/76145823/i-know...

Has anyone apart from Mashable got this working?

Dan, you don't know what you're talking about... Soup.io as worst? Man, Soup.io would beat nearly the majority of tc50 companies in innovation & attention to detail. Your rankings here are enough for me to completely abandon your posts entirely. What a joke.

Re: FriendFeed Comments WordPress Plugin

Zee — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:02:25 -0000

Hi Glenn, sorry to bother you - I can see you've been swamped with support requests already. When you have a moment, can you tell me why the plugin doesn't seem to work correct at my blog www.proproductivity.com .

Firstly, although it links up correctly to the right post on frienfeed - I don't seem to see the comments from friendfeed appear on my blog & vice-versa (when I make a comment on my blog, it doesn't seem to appear on friendfeed) . Here's an example http://www.proproductivity.com/2008/how-to-tie-... and the post on friendfeed is here: http://friendfeed.com/e/8979f441-7738-525a-f5d8... .

Hope you can be of some help. Thank you

Dan, no doubt - all you've mentioned would/will be awesome...I am certain all that will come but I'm still getting used to multi-platform apps combined with webapps & loving every minute of it.

Dude, just because a service lets users customize their personal profile pages using css does NOT make it the devil of social networks.
And just because you may not be enjoying some of the conversations, doesn't mean that others aren't. I admit, there are the "hi's", "good mornings" etc...but there's a lot more of the other, decent conversations that often last hours with honest people, often not of the tech community which makes a change.
With regards to the designs however, there are some shocking twitter profiles & pownce profiles too - and on all these services, the thankful thing is you can just use your own theme and don't have to view other peoples to use the site on a daily basis.

For me, aside from Friendfeed, Plurk dominates the micobloggingsphre and deserves a heck of a lot more respect. And frankly, I'm surprised you've put it down this Wayne.

Re: Advertising and hiring

Zee — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 05:34:00 -0000

I've gotta say, the idea of other people writing on your own blog doesn't appeal to me and i'll probably unsubscribe. I'm here to hear your thoughts, rather than anyone elses. In fact, i would rather even hear you less frequently than have anyone else writing on this particular space more frequently. This is your blog, your thoughts, your opinions, your experiences. Techcrunch admittedly was a personal blog of Arringtons on web startups, but it's not quite as personal as a blog such as this on your experiences.

Anyway, just my opinion. I'm sure you'll still have a good bunch of readers, make lots of money etc...I just dont think i'll be sticking around i'm afraid. Hey, but great news on the blog redesign coming up!

Re: Brian Solis’ and Loic Le Meur’s real “PR” secrets

Zee — Sun, 25 May 2008 18:41:05 -0000

Awesome that you & Loic have responded in depth to Brian's 'Top-Secret' post - You are probably 'sold' products more than anyone else on the tech circuit, so hearing your direct thoughts on the matter is priceless. Cheers.

Re: Brian Solis’ and Loic Le Meur’s real “PR” secrets

Zee — Sun, 25 May 2008 18:45:02 -0000

One thing i disagree with is “you don’t need PR at all if you have a great product. “. The number of products i have come across who don't receive enough traction simply because they dont know how to get the message out is ridiculous. Good Product does not equal PR success, it requires work, it requires help and it requires a real push to make sure the right people are hearing about your great product.

Re: The passionates vs. the non passionates

Zee — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:00:49 -0000

Seriously great post Robert, probably one of the best I've read of your imo & an area which frankly has always lead to headaches.

Re: Cuil: Why I’m trying to get off of the PR bandwagon…

Zee — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:10:23 -0000

Man, another cracking post. I would honestly say tech PR is probably the most volatle of any kind - so difficult to get right, but when you do often you don't know how it happened.

Oh and about Evernote, yeah Robert...how *did* you miss that one for so long...? :)

Re: Cuil: Why I’m trying to get off of the PR bandwagon…

Zee — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:22:26 -0000

Oh and about bringing real value to my life...without a shadow of a doubt, the iphone although the ability to use many applications at once would be very useful Mr Jobs.
And 2, firefox - as a productivity tool - it blows any app I have every used out of the water (thanks to the extensions out there though - so thank you addon developers).

Re: Cuil: Why I’m trying to get off of the PR bandwagon…

Zee — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:47:44 -0000

@Robert And i would love to share them with you! I'm actually going to do a post about them so I send that over to you if thats cool with you

Re: Streaming video comes to iPhone…

Hey Scoble, i know you will anyway - but make sure you share a clip once you've given it a try.

Re: What do the freaking tech bloggers want?

Zee — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:30:07 -0000

f*ck me. pardon my French Robert - but i was reading that shaking my head at first thinking he's just going to go on & on about how poor things are & not really offer any real solutions...hence the "f*ck me" (as in "wow" btw). BUT you did they're actually bloody impressive. They are some very good points (particularly point 1 & 9 for me) & what I love is the personal nature to most of them...it's something which I have always wanted to see from the PR world & something which I am doing my best to ensure we do ourselves.

I feel like a real suck as* saying this again, but great great post.

Re: What do the freaking tech bloggers want?

Zee — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:36:06 -0000

ps. I really wish you'd let me redesign this blog of yours. I know you did quite recently but it seriously could still do with a big uplift - if ur interested zee@wedocreative.com .

Re: Mozilla gives the passionates one with Ubiquity

Zee — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:48:30 -0000

Absolute zero non-passionates as you call them will use the tool but the surge in passion is likely to go through the roof which should guarantee another couple of hears of the passionates convincing the non-passionates that Firefox is the best browser out there...which, if you look after it, it is.

Re: Startups: your web site sucks

Zee — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:44:10 -0000

Funny you say that, I did actually go through the Demo list earlier today and was stunned myself at the quality of some of these companies sites. The only thing that made them look impressive at time was the fact that they said that they were launching at Demo. You'd think after spending $18000 or whatever it is on the launch there - that they would have spent a good chunk on wowing their prospective clients when they visited their site.

There is nothing that puts me off more to be honest than an ugly site. In fact, 90% of the time I may even use a webapp with less features but an overall better interface simply because of the huge impact on my state of mind whilst using it. If i feel like a 3rd rate worker whilst using an app, i'm likely to produce 3rd rate work too...

Anyway, I agree with you here Robert.

If any web 1.0 styled sites with web 3.0 technology are out there looking for a slick UI - drop me a note at zee@wedocreative.com.

Re: Startups: your web site sucks

Zee — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:46:13 -0000

I also wish "Bob" up there had quoted one of his sites or whoever he is...these guys who leave these apparently bold statements yet don't leave who they are should be removed from comments imo - they are worthless.

Re: The “gold standard” of recent startups

Zee — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:19:56 -0000

any particular reason why the others I mentioned weren't put forward?

Re: The “gold standard” of recent startups

Zee — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:41:22 -0000

Thanks for the reply Robert. Yeah, i see u mentioned evernote up there. I see you mentioned GetSatisfaction - i'm pretty interested in these guys. It's interesting how they haven't started charging yet. I suppose they have got a million plus in funding...you think they're just trying to get companies on board, hooked & then charge them later?

Re: We’re in a death spiral

Zee — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:17:31 -0000

Yeah, hoarding a little no doubt - but i always do. But Robert, we need people like you to keep people positive...titles like: "we're in a death spiral" will just antagonise the situation...bringing more fear - particularly people like us that read your blog - startups & entrepreneurs. I know you mean no harm by it and you are only trying to stay realistic & on topic - but a little positivity will ya! :) We've all got something to contribute and as long as that is the case we'll get through the next couple of years.

Re: We’re in a death spiral

Zee — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:26:30 -0000

Robert, sugar coating - i agree, no sugar coating allowed. But "death spiral"... come on now... :)
Also, regarding the amount of power i ascribe to you - you may have a point there - but rest assured, a lot of young startups look to folks like you for thoughts on where the internet startup is going over the next few months. "Death Spiral" sounds like the scariest theme park ride ever - so if that's what you were implying then you hit the nail on the head.

Re: We’re in a death spiral

Zee — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:30:46 -0000

LOL Bombastic :) Yeah, i gotcha - don't worry, i do understand the power of headlines. I just think there's a little responsibility that comes with putting some of them out there, like this one which is scary sh*t! :)

He didn't unsubscribe from you did he over this did he? on what service?

Re: “Sky isn’t falling” blogger says

Zee — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:17:49 -0000

I haven't read all the comments - but have just read Deepak's and frankly I think he summed perfectly in the way I've felt about your recent tweets, comments & shares.

Re: Google Reader Adds New Features; Wants Your Del.icio.us and Twitter Habits

I've got to admit i'm a little confused by the notes feature - although i can definitely see the seo benefits as a number of notes i've made have already appear on search results...
