Re: XSS in Feedly and cookie manipulation.

Edwin Khodabakchian — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:37:59 -0000

Thanks for helping make feedly better. Notes regarding the cookie manipulation: 1) the server will verify if the user is a pro user independently from the cookie (which is only used by the UI) so it does nor really give you access to feedly Pro. 2) we are following your advice and adding a mechanism to detect if the cookie has been modified and lock out the account so it is not recommended to try this.

Re: Feed reader developers -- here's an easy way to differentiate your service

Edwin Khodabakchian — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:33:52 -0000

Dave, this is a very good suggestion. You can count on feedly to implement this in v18 or v19. -Edwin

Re: Why The Hell Should I Pay Feedly For These Basic Features? - by Brian Proffitt

Edwin Khodabakchian — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 22:14:19 -0000

Hi Brian. Today's launch was about sending a clear message that you are the customer and not the product and allowing our most passionate users fund the future of feedly. The fund collected today will help us invest in both hardware and innovation. Like for feedly standard, feedly pro will iterate and get richer over time - resulting in more users upgrading - resulting in more innovation. v1 of a product is always the hardest and we are grateful that 5,000 feedly backers believed and invested in us today. The next 12 months are going to be interesting.
/Edwin, feedly co-founder and CEO.

Re: Ideas for rebooting RSS

Edwin Khodabakchian — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 17:09:01 -0000

These are good suggestions.

1. Definitely. We could leverage the work twitter has been doing for twitter cards and the work facebook has been doing for open graph and allow some of that metadata to be projected into the feed element and the item element.

2. The challenge with that is people enter a lot of bogus tags. There is a need for a mechanism to weave out "spam".

3. Good idea.

4. Probably a good idea.

5. It would be valuable for pollers to be able to have access to archive information. Is that the problem you are trying to solve?

Try feedly :-) (just to prove that we let you click through and add comments). Hope you are doing well and the new venture is developing nicely.

Re: Why Twitter's \"Information Network\" Strategy Is Under Pressure From Facebook & Google Plus

The brand pages by themselves are not an interest graph but the connections between the users and those brand pages and the impressive level of conversation and engagement on each post is. No?

eric. we patched the desktop version to fix the scrolling performance bug. Please make sure that you are running 6.0.401. Regarding the ability to mark an individual article as read on the tablet, we hear you and are looking at new gestures for 7.0.

Hi Jeff, I think that you are wrong. Just look at the Facebook porsche https://www.facebook.com/po... page or the Facebook federer page: https://www.facebook.com/Fe... A great example of interest graph and permission marketing. Isn't that a great foundation of an interest graph?

Re: Scripting News: Google doesn't get it

Edwin Khodabakchian — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 02:38:47 -0000

Let me try to clarify. You write "They need an API with one call, one that posts a tweet to their service." If they offer this, you will have an army of automated bots posting to Google+. This would go against the current intention of having a manual intent behind each post.

Re: Scripting News: Google doesn't get it

Edwin Khodabakchian — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 02:33:09 -0000

Agreed. I think that Google is limiting "write" operations to the +1 button to make sure that all the information posted to Google+ has a clear manual user intent associated with it. A smart way to keep the signal to noise ratio high.

Have you looked at Scratch http://scratch.mit.edu/ Coding visually little games is a great way to expose kids to programming concepts. My 8 year old daughter likes it.

It would be interesting to see Apple enter the TV market. May be what we are experiencing is the end of hardware and the beginning of (pre)-integrated systems. May be HP realized that they could not compete with Apple unless they owned all the pieces of the stack and come to the realization that they do not have DNA and muscles to put all the pieces of the stack together.

Re: Open Question: What Tech Stories Do YOU Want to Read?

Edwin Khodabakchian — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 04:09:37 -0000

Education is also going through the beginning of an interesting transformation: Khan Academy, Gaming, Mobile devices, communities and gadgets are all interesting driving forces...Having visibility into what's happening in that space could also be interesting.

Re: Open Question: What Tech Stories Do YOU Want to Read?

Edwin Khodabakchian — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 03:42:13 -0000

Richard, I think that you have a good list. I would add Android and Windows Phone 7 to the list: continuously seeing new phones and apps...Not easy as a consumer to understand how they compare...

On which side of the fence do you stand? Can we experiment new forms of education (outside public schools) or it is just a matter of better training and supporting teachers working in the public system? Are there cultural/scale issues which would make creating a Norwegian-like responsibility driven system in the US impossible?

Re: louisgray.com: ChromeOS Now Supports Multiple Displayed Windows

Edwin Khodabakchian — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:01:22 -0000

Thanks for the heads up Louis. Does ChromeOS automatically update to include all these Goodies or there is a specific channel/build you have access to? (It might be time for me to unwrap my ChromeBook).

Hi Peter, When you build a house, you use different materials for the foundation, the framing and the finish. Having clear separation between your data model, your services and the UI usually results in much more robust applications. A REST+JSON contract means that you have more freedom as to how to implement the UI (native, html5, etc...) and how to implement the back end (java, etc...). I think that the reason node.js is awesome and gaining a lot of mindshare is less about JS and more about eventing/non-blocking IO: an increasing number of the back end services are smart proxies which mashup different end points...something that fits perfectly the Node.JS model (and is not trivial to do at scale using other existing technologies).

Re: Scripting News: Finding the archive of a feed

Sam is right. The Google Reader back end actually allows you to go as deep as 1000 entries.

Any idea which part of this is native and which part is just a frame version of m.facebook.com?
