  • ianbetteridge  I started writing a comment, but when I got to 300 words I thought I'd better do it as a blog post instead - it's at http://www.technovia.co.uk/2008/05/google-readers-new-features-a-bust.html :) The short version: FriendFeed is successful largely because it adds features that Twitter users have wanted for a long time, ie a proper threaded discussion view. It works for some people (like Robert) as a feed reader, because it's very "river of news" oriented (but if you don't like river of news, it's less useful). And Google actually already has a product which does everything that FriendFeed does, and more. It's called Jaiku - remember that? :)

  • ianbetteridge  A very good idea, Jo. I don't think that MPs actually realise the harm that having such a shoddy airport does to the country's image.

  • ianbetteridge  Well the point isn't whether they can co-exist, in that sense: it's that users show a clear preference for online properties on which they can "make their mark", as it were. How many current, high-traffic web sites don't include an element of user-generated content - usually a major one? That suggests that virtual worlds which fail to include UGC - as mirror worlds must if they are to maintain that "mirror" element - will not be particularly popular either.
