"EtherPad is not likely to win a price for its user interface design, but it might just be one of the most useful web apps we have seen in quite a while. EtherPad allows you to instantly create a workspace for text documents that you can then share with your colleagues, clients, or friends. Every edit to the document will immediately appear on your co-workers' screens in real-time." - Frederic via Bookmarklet
Re: Etherpad Seems easy enough. As I watched the screencast on their site, it made me wonder whatever happened to Netmeeting and whether there is a Web 2.0 app that does the same thing Netmeeting did. - Brian Schwartz

Authors have the option to release "lite" versions of their application. Most applications would lose their money if there was a "try before you buy" because those novelty applications are useless after the first run. Just thinking of the profits perspective. - Andrew Trinh

I don't want to be overly harsh, but my god, isn't there more important things than a glib comment to get worked up about. The whole response to this is overboard by a factor of 1 million - Duncan Riley
Aye, agreed. I'm tired of reading it too, people being a bit too sensitive. - Mo Kargas
It's Sunday. No hard news, and sometimes, piling on is fun for some. Note that my comments were more toward Motrin getting their act together on brand management, and not dumping on them for the ad, which did miss the boat. - Louis Gray
Must have been a really REALLY slow news day - Adam Turetzky
Tired of it too, and am suspect that it's representative of the actual target demographic. At least it's better than the asshat who started the Save My Starbucks site when they closed a whole bunch of shops. - AJ Kohn
Only in America. - mojay
Louis, I don't think it did miss it though. A couple of heated up people on Twitter doesn't equal the majority of the population. I could immediately relate to that ad, and I bet my wife could. I can relate to the fact that putting my son in a sling did want to make me cry from the pain in caused my back ,and the peer pressure to do so (which started I might add pre-birth at the compulsory anti-natal classes the state dictates here.) - Duncan Riley
thank goodness for some sanity - what is this the weekend so everyone needs even the stupidest thing to get all worked up over jeezz. - Steven Hodson
I think they are just looking for something to pick on them since they are a J&J company. And J&J companies are on the hit-list for the anti-prop 8 crowd. Just the vibe that I've gotten from this non-event. - John Rubier via twhirl
bah. who cares. there's worse ads out there than this. seriously if anyone finds this offensive they need a life, stat. - Terry O'Fee
Amen, Duncan - you said it exactly. And I like Motrin, nothing will change that. They've already built a reputation with me. - Jesse Stay
+1 Terry - Jeff P. Henderson
I think this is hilarious about a bunch getting upset over a Motrin ad that is in itself harmless when there are ads out there that do everything they can to make men look like complete idiots and mothers who let their kids run rampant throughout the house and act like nothing is wrong with a great big smile on their face. If you want to get pissed off at stereotypes in advertising there are a lot better ones that treat the family unit as nothing but a complete joke .. - Steven Hodson
++++ Duncan - Lindsey
I'm offended that people are disregarding those of us that are built differently and require Motrin for carrying babies in slings. You think they could be a little more considerate, sheesh. :-P - Jesse Stay via twhirl
This whole thing is ridiculous. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Word, you should Tweet about it. Protest or something. #motrinhelpsmecarrymybabbyinslings - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
#antimotrinmoms? - Jesse Stay via twhirl
god, there's more "serious" sites writing this story up as a "Serious" pr disaster. three words: gigantic fucking bubble. Oh, and lazy reporting with a complete ineptitude to offer independent reasonable opinion. Pass the crack pipe, I want to get off! :-) - Duncan Riley
Duncan, the Social Media Trolls have nothing to talk about after the election! ;-) - Igor The Troll
301 million people in the United States. About 50 complained on Twitter, and apparently that's a PR disaster :-) lol - Duncan Riley
Motrin is Smart! Getting free PR via Guerrilla Marketing! - Igor The Troll
A new category is born -- IN: Blogger Moms --- OUT: Soccer Moms - Wayne Schulz
Duncan, good job pointing out this BS! There always needs to be a contrarian in media! Enlightened minority is more powerful than ignorant majority! - Igor The Troll
this seems to follow my sheep post from last week - Allen Stern
We have become so PC in this country that it's kind of sick. The commercial, like all commercial nowadays, sucks, but who cares. I'm a mom, and I really could give a damn cause I actually have a life. - Shevonne Polastre
Allen: I think that you are right and we are seeing the lemming effect again. I have seen comments that folks are sending e-mails to their pr folks to not let that happen to "us". - Mathew A. Koeneker
What I though when I read this was ' Patronising? Really?' I just don't see it. Even if it was, so what. Calling advertising patronising is like calling politicians political. She has her own silly agenda, which appears to be working. - Chris Nixon
Well this is either great Guerrilla Marketing or Brian Connolly 2.0 - Igor The Troll
I found the commercial pretty cool, in that the animation, on-screen text, and voice over really did push the message. I don't think I have to ask my mom if she carried me in a sling, but if there is research out there to say that it does cause neck, back, and other skeletal aliments, why not bring it up? - Terence Washington
agreed. Whats the fuss all about ? - Sumit Chachra
As a Bjorn wearing dad, I liked this commericial and didn't find it offensive at all. Also, I love these typography driven commercials. - Alan Le
Alan, of course you didn't find it offensive. Baby Bjorns give you backaches! Good carriers, like wraps and Mei Tais, do not. - Laura Norvig
Laura, so that's the secret, I had a Bjorn thing as well. God it hurt :-) - Duncan Riley
Look, my wife just gave birth a month ago. Believe me when I tell you, no matter how well or ergonomic they make a baby carrier, it's still gonna hurt a mom's back. Heck, they hurt my back (I should disclose that I have many other back problems non-mya wrap related.) I wish the feministas and others who didn't like this ad just STFU and go back to protesting Prop 8. - Sean McGee

Love this app. Sluggish on Windows Vista but works great on the mac. - Kamath ॐ
mac has decent photo snapping built in, and I like ScreenFlow for video :P - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

A great application I've been using for a few months now. - Paul W. Swansen
Big fan. Works like a charm on a mac! - Nice Fish Films
mjc, using preview takes too many clicks and the keyboard shortcut is clunky. And besides jing manages my screenshots/videos for me and lets me upload it to flickr, screencast etc. I have to try out screenflow! - Kamath ॐ
I prefer Skitch for screenshots and, like Mr. Cohen, I opted for ScreenFlow for video. ScreenFlow + Hulu + iPhone = Bliss! - Christopher Harley

"The idea was to lampoon the terrible search engine capabilities of the Cuil search engine, while providing a functionally stimulating idea about the interrelationship between tangential things." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
"One Cuil = One level of abstraction away from the reality of a situation. Example: You ask me for a Hamburger. 1 Cuil: if you asked me for a hamburger, and I gave you a raccoon. 2 Cuils: If you asked me for a hamburger, but it turns out I don't really exist. Where I was originally standing, a picture of a hamburger rests on the ground. 3 Cuils: You awake as a hamburger. You start screaming only to have special sauce fly from your lips. The world is in sepia." - Jess Lee

I'm uncool, I've been a fan of MS for a long time. Screw the Apple cool, Microsoft is a good company with quality products. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
arguing about the grip on the hammer. ;) - "Oldengrey" Tannenbaum
Paul Thurott. LoL. - Missile-TOW
I'll do better than that: I am a certified MS Systems Engineer - MCSE with Security & Messaging on Windows2003 Server platform ... 7 certifications / passed 10 exams. Aughh! *face palm* tragic i know - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Aram LOL :) - Claudio Cicali
Vista pride, biches - John Cozen
It's becoming a different company under new leadership and the haters haven't quite caught up to that. They're still fighting the browser wars of 10 years ago. - Sprague D
I like their mice and Streets & Trips. Microsoft is good at some things. - Morton Fox
Sprague D - MS was a great company under Gates (who, by the way, on a personal level looks like a saint next to the ego-maniacal Jobs) and has always produced good products, quite a few of which were not browsers. Microsoft has always been a good company. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
By the way, since I'm digging a hole here with the Apple people, I also liked the Gates/Seinfeld ads. :P - Aram Zucker-Scharff
sadly, that's true - the first reaction about the windows live updates I got yesterday were pretty much: who cares? of course there are a few million hotmail users who will care, but they're not cool enough, I guess... - Frederic
liking jay's comment :) - mike "glemak" dunn
Yeah, let's all celebrate the news that they're releasing IE6 for Windows Mobile... you heard me right! IE6! Yes, it's almost 2009 and yes I said IE6! http://blogs.zdnet.com/microso... - Glenn Batuyong
Ah, but Microsoft doesn't make hardware. Unless you count mice. Or the Xbox 360. But still. - Victor Ganata
And I bet Scobleizer knows just which Chinese factory those things are made. Spill it, RS! - jamesdkirk
Random: Why is outbrain going crazy on this post? It is recommending that I go to a post about Febreze-to-go Fabric Refresher... Is Microsoft lemony-fresh? - Aram Zucker-Scharff
If I did know where things are made I probably can't tell you, sorry. - Robert Scoble
I will say this, though. PCH just bought Microsoft Dynamics to manage its supply chain. Oh, and I see a LOT of Windows machines in China. - Robert Scoble
Heh, I wonder what percentage of those machines have legitimate licenses? - Victor Ganata
Victor: more than you might expect. But there still is wild copying here. You can buy Windows and Office for a dollar or two in the streets. - Robert Scoble
Having administrated Microsoft domains since 99, I have to say that a combo of Active Directory, Exchange and a windows OS is extremely well done when it comes to corporate management. Throw in the other services that bolt right into AD and I have to tip my hat to MS, it's a very powerful system. I also believe passionately that MS should have used a wizardised AD-Lite in Home Server and shitcanned all versions of windows other than Pro/Ultimate and not charge as damn much! - alphaxion
I'm a PC! - Andre Maltais
andre: we're all PC's, just we all wear different tshirts and some think their tshirts are the only ones people should own ;) - alphaxion
The Xbox 360 is the only product of theirs that I love. (Rich) - Rich Harris
Kudos Steven. All so true. The decade ahead is going to be totally fascinating in tech. - Charlie Anzman
That's a great read, Steven Hodson. I think some departments/divisions inside of Microsoft are cooler than others. D - Alan Le
They are trying to turn it around, but they've still missed the point on many subject areas lately. They're starting many cool products, but keep missing the point on them, or just leave out blatantly obvious parts. And their marketing sucks. Though, I do still like them. - xero
I claim to be an insane Linux fan, but compared to other insane Linux fans out there, I'm quite moderate. I don't scream for the end of Microsoft. Torvalds said it best when he remarked, "Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect." (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/f...) - possible248
From a purely web design point of view, for all the IE glitches I actually love the conditional stylesheet option. Other browsers will still glitch, but because they're *not supposed* to have inconsistencies, they have no elegant way of solving them. - Robin Cannon via twhirl
thanks @Charlie and @Alan - Steven Hodson
@xero I totally agree that their marketing sucks but that comes being too corp-centric ... If I was able to I'd fire half the marketing teams and setup two totally separate marketing departments one for corp and one for consumers because they have no idea how to do consumer marketing IMO - Steven Hodson
@possible248 as I said in the comments on the post to one person - I have respect for people who can intelligently articulate their disagreements with Microsoft and their products but I have no patience for rabid fanbois type bullshit - Steven Hodson
I am so not down with the "I'm a PC" ads. I don't know about you, but I'm not a damn machine. - Victor Ganata
I too am uncool. I like MS and I really can't stand Apple. Sorry. - David Cook
Great post, Steven. I'm a PC, too. Yeah, I work for them...but I don't get paid to like them - that's my personal opinion. I was beyond excited when they asked me to join up. I don't need to work there - I have plenty of places I can blog and make money, like RWW for example. I just happen to think that Microsoft still does some pretty cool stuff & it's fun to write about. Oh, I'm not a FTE, btrw, just a blogger. - Sarah Perez
Thanks for the sentiment, Steven. I've been sufficiently annoyed by MS that I was displeased with them for a while. Until I realized one down how much of their stuff I use; functional, good stuff. And no... unless they do something huge and push really hard with it... not going to out-Google Google. See under: Yahoo. - Ruud Hein
The cloud is theirs for the taking, but only if they move fast enough. - Victor Ganata
I don't make business or technologial choices based on the cool-factor alone. Microsoft has still some work to do on the consumer side, but the dev and server side are really the reason why I'm so interested on everything they do. - Jemm
I use microsoft products when they work for me, and not when they don't. I have a hard time buying into coolness. But I've never been a cool guy. - Piaw Na
BASIC 2.0 made me a believer, but Windows 98 killed it for me. - Victor Ganata
Most of us like to talk in white or black, but objectivity's domain is always in the grays. - sameer
