“If only posty wasn't so bloody ugly.”

August 12 at 3:33 pm - via Posty - Link

have you some suggestion to improve Posty? - funkyboy

honestly, just drastically improve the UI - and possibly (although i realise not easy) a way to combine all feeds into one. But UI is priority. - Zee at WeDoCreative

“Given Posty can publish to Twitter and Identi.ca at the same time, it's all I'm using these days for tweeting, replies and friends' tweets.”

I like TweetDeck as well, but Posty doesn't make me choose or double-post. It also can post to FriendFeed, Jaiku and Pownce. - Louis Gray

I didn't know Posty worked on indenti.ca as well, thanks Louis - Mo Kargas

wait a minute. is www.posty.com the single worst website i've seen in quite a long time or, and this is quite possible, am i missing something? found the download at http://spreadingfunkyness.com/... - Christian Anderson

http://spreadingfunkyness.com/... is the URL. - Louis Gray

now if it only were something else then Air. don't need another memory hog. - Alexander Kucera

Posty is awesome. I also love Ping.fm - now available from friendfeed thanks to a greasemonkey script. - Sarah Perez

ping.fm is my choice. Excellent service. - Hakan Dahlstrom

The screencast on the Posty site shows "Hello from Posty" as the message being posted and when it shows the resulting post on FriendFeed, it's "Hello form Posty." :) - Gus Perez

@Mo If you want more news about Posty send me a message to posty AT spreadingfunkyness.com @Alexander I chose Adobe Air as cross-os platform. I agree with you that it is a bit memory hungry. @charlie with Posty you can also interact. @gus I recorder many takes, it wasn't easy to find all the services responsive in the same time span. I probably misplaced some window. Thanks for notifying the error. - funkyboy via Posty

I am using http://Ping.fm for mult-posting needs...works VERY well!! Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook, Jaiku, etc... - Susan Beebe

hellotxt.com supports twitter ff and Ident and there m.hellotxt.com has a very userfriendly mobile interface - fotographic

@rahsheen: agree on general principle... but i think all of them -- twhirl, posty, tweetdeck -- are all good starts... it's all still 'beta' software - .LAGizmoto

They are definitely good starts, but I agree with Roger in that things could be done a lot more efficiently and I don't see why they exist as they are now. It's kinda frustrating because all the pieces are there, but nobody has put them together "right" - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

@LAG. Its always beta so for me there is no excuse. @Rah glad you agree. My angle was admittedly harshly worded but Dave wrote a really nice one talking more about how to fix the problem rather than how it was broken here - http://tinyurl.com/58z3ny Cheers Rah for sharing ;) - Roger Kondrat

In general I agree. But let me explain the other side of the coin. I receive lot of feature requests for Posty: "it could do this, that, bla bla bla. It is very rare that alls the requests/suggestions are harmonizable in a coherent application. Users have this tendency to suggest features for their personal use, and that is the way it is meant to be. But the programmer/designer has to evaluate whether a feature makes happy a few users and unhappy, or indifferent, the rest. Personally that is the way I am trying to work on Posty. Hope it will be successful. - funkyboy via Posty

Can I not just rely on one service to replicate my posts across all these other services using some sorta extensible open api ? Twitter being the biggest whale in this ocean atm would ideally be the primary source of sorts but so lacks in other areas of the social graph ! Looking for a friendfeed in reverse I guess ? Scratch that invert it grrrr how frustrating ! love FF shame it makes regular folk run away in fear brains a melting :) - David Smith

hellotxt if for some reason you don't like ping.fm - K Welch

@David coz a lot of us have different audiences on each service. eg. I am invested in FF and twitter and pownce, in that order and just cross post to jaiku. - Shivanand Velmurugan

Was very impressed with the 'new' Twirl - Using it since Loic posted it last night. Giving this a spin now .... - Charlie Anzman

I particularly dig the Posty screenshot. - Louis Gray

I thought you would Louis :-) Apol for not linking to you, I'd already written the post and screenshots are the last thing I do pre-publication. - Duncan Riley

No problem at all, Duncan. I didn't link to you because my story went first. :-) - Louis Gray

LOL @ Louis - of course you like I like - what's not to like?! :*) I like it! - Susan Beebe

Louis, by a matter of minutes....I'll have to be quicker next time ;-) - Duncan Riley

This is good...I have been a Twitter user for the past couple of months or so. I waiting to see how this will pan out...but from side whatever works is good enough. - Suhit Anantula

Sarah, saw yours first + linked. - Duncan Riley

I really don't care, - sarahintampa.com is not a business :) - just poking fun @louis - Sarah Perez

still, good job in picking up on Posty plus the changes. - Duncan Riley

Oh yeah, Sarah, my Tweet was 11 hours ago, so I totally beat you. http://twitter.com/louisgray/s... :-) - Louis Gray

Well, I received my email from Cesare over 11 hrs ago and had already composed the blog post in my brain, so technically.... - Sarah Perez

OK I have to stop now, going to fall out of my chair laughing :) - Sarah Perez

yeah, but you both didn't find Identifox, so there :-p - Duncan Riley

well, actually....a friend on identica told me about it (http://identi.ca/notice/128192) and I updated my post with that news :) lol - Sarah Perez

@Sarah: you're welcome :) but don't click that link now...looks like identi.ca is down... - Trent Olson

@David Smith, the whole point of openmicroblogging is to do that kind of federated network for you. So, YES, but we have to get the other services to sign on. - Evan Prodromou

ping.fm FTW! - Ernie Oporto

Seriously though, it seems like identi.ca is just copying everything twitted does with a huge lag. Anything new could have easily been tacked onto twitter as others have done, instead of going to the trouble of creating a whole new posting service to fracture the community. It may have uptime going for it but that is only good while they are small. Will they scale any better? - Ernie Oporto

Ok. Let's start an auction! How much do you bid to receive the notification of the new version Posty TEN minutes before the rest of the group? Place you bid ;) - funkyboy via Posty

I refuse to answer this question! - Michael Narciso

And this is why more girls don't go into the tech industry. So many guys who couldn't get dates in school are overly obsessed with boobies even as adults. Not that there is anything wrong with boobies. But, come on, grow up. Your ruining it for the rest of us. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

Alright, who voted... confess. - Michael Narciso

Ok, I really am having a hard time commenting as I'd like - one thing that comes to mind, I hope the winner chooses to keep herself clothed. I'm definitely not against nudity...it's a matter of ... well I guess dignity? Man, I'll be quiet now. - Susanne "Renee" Bullo

I've kind of lost my taste for any kind of blogger nudity after seeing Feldman with his shirt off. - Jay Tannenbaum

I agree with @Susanne, I don't want their innocence ruined because of some stunt like this. - Michael Narciso

I like that, according to the TechCrunch article, Playboy didn't disclose to the women what they "win." Way to be open and upfront with everything. I seriously doubt the need for any of these women to actually take the "prize." - bmiraski

I'd really don't see this as a step backward, this may sound silly but I would totally do it (with the help of a trainer before hand). Obvoiusly Playboy has a huge readership of men, many who probably participate here on FF or Twitter, and I'm not convinced that these men are objectifying women by buying an issue of Playboy and seeing those women with their clothes off. That's just me though. I am curious to know if these female bloggers would be more likely to something akin to a Maxim spread - to me there's little difference, both sell sex. - Jennifer Van Grove via twhirl

I'm a very picky reader - when I do religiously read a female write blog or site, I tend to have a very large amount of respect for them. If the winner chose to go ahead with PB, absolutely all of my respect for that person would go out the window. This would hold true for either gender. It just screams "they'll notice me more if I'm naked". MHO - Susanne "Renee" Bullo

@Susanne that's obviously your choice, but it seems pretty narrowminded. I don't see how anyone's blog content is any less interesting or loses value if they chose to pose nude. You should be reading for the content and not because you morally approve of everything that blogger does. - Jennifer Van Grove via twhirl

Heterosexual men want to see women naked if they're even remotely attractive. That's not incompatible with thinking they're good writers with interesting things to say. - James Joyner

@Jennifer I actually am pretty open minded. What puts me in this particular frame of mind is the fact that as a female I had to fight my way into the "boys club" of web development - it took me years to be taken seriously. So I have an enormous amount of respect for women in the tech/internet field. The bottom line is the content of that blog would be colored in my mind. Period. - Susanne "Renee" Bullo

I'd prefer female bloggers keep their clothes on. Trainer or no trainer - please. - Sonciary Honnoll

respect, heck, i lost respect for covida this week, and she was fully dressed - gregory lent

I'd prefer if everybody blogging naked. In that scenario nobody is frayed upon for being a woman. And we still get to see all the naked parts! - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Maybe laptops should be a requirement ? - Brian Sullivan

I've known speakers who welcomed laptops at conferences, hoping people would blog their talks and get a broader discussion going. - Steven Kaye

It's interesting how whenever friction is eliminated there are always those that react by adding friction - Mark Forman

Speaking as an educator, I find this vaguely disturbing. If my job as a teacher is defined in terms of constant competition for students' attention with whatever electronic stimuli they happen to have on their persons, I certainly will always lose. I know you're not talking about classrooms here, but it seems like a parallel case. I'll never be as interesting as a hot girl's Facebook profile or last night's Comedy Central videos. Never. - Nathan Rein

Isn't this just 21st century of getting kids to not doodle on their notebooks in class (I don't make much distinction between conferences and classrooms in this case, stand and deliver, heh) - Eric Rice

Yah, I think being more interesting than that hot girl's (whatever) is pretty much your job as a teacher. - Jason Wehmhoener

How about we ban conferences that nearly require laptop use but do not have plugs and/or WiFi. - Josh Lowensohn via fftogo

One of my fav teachers of all time was Mr. Doria he was a nut. Made learning fun. he's goose step liek a Nazi when teaching related history. Make dumb jokes about being a big electric fan. Here it is over 30 years later and I remember like yesterday. Agreed-be more interesting than mentos youtube and kids will give you their hearts and minds. People are hungry, just don't always know where a good meal is to be had. - Mark Forman

So, give a 17-year-old kid a choice between Dostoevsky and Spider-Man, and may the best man win, huh? - Nathan Rein

nathan-I would of said IronMan but I think you get it... - Mark Forman

I think 17 year olds are a little young for existentialism. - Jason Wehmhoener

Jason-yeah but not for wiki post on it... - Mark Forman

Teaching aside, conference speakers have even more responsibility to be engaging. While many teachers and students are in mandatory situations, everyone chooses to attend (or not attend) a conference. - Jason Wehmhoener

J-good point optional and often very expensive. - Mark Forman

No way. With the costs of conferences AND travel so high now, I think now more than even we need to share conference sessions broadly. - Tris Hussey via twhirl

Tris-nah make em all webinarbarcamp thingies - Mark Forman

I think that sharing is an essential element of conferences, and that sharing adds value for the conference organizers, and quite possibly for the speaker -- particularly if all those people are blogging about the speaker's eloquent coverage of the topic at hand. =) - Eric Hamilton

Unfortunately (to switch sides for a second) I think many people go to conferences simply to take a vacation on the company dime. I can see where they could end up becoming a distraction. - Jason Wehmhoener

What did we do before laptops? Oh, yeah.. Paper and pen/pencil. Drawing stick figures during the same lectures. What's changed, except the technology?! - Les

I don't know about everyone else, but computers change my behavior. I can hardly carry on a conversation with my own wife if my laptop is open in front of me, let alone pay proper attention to a speaker. That's not true with paper and pencil. I wouldn't want to deliver a lecture to a room full faces half-hidden behind laptop lids any more than I would want to do it in a sports bar surrounded by TV screens. The lecturer is not just a content delivery machine; s/he is a human being. Interaction is key. - Nathan Rein

Laptops are essential for conferences. For capturing, communicating and working while there. As much as I would like to be fully emersed at a conference I still need to stay connected to everything else going on - but I also use it to gather info (devonthink pro, etc.). A laptop is essential for my conference experience. - Tony

I'm at a conference in DC. Both myself and a coworker have our laptops with us but leave them at the hotel. I take occasionally notes on my iTouch,. but all the session slides are available on line. 50% of the those in attendance have their laptops out and are typing all the time. Un-scientific sample.... no one I looked at seemed to be blogging the event. About 1 out of 5 were note taking, the rest were reading emails and looking at unrelated web sites. To me it seems all a show to look important. - Kevin Shannon

Laptop should be banned during meetings! During a conference I might not be attracted by a presentation and I can check email or work. During a meeting, if I am not attracted I should not attend, instead of checking emails. how many of you have a boss like that? - funkyboy

Lapdances? Definitely shouldn't be allowed in.. What was the question again? - Mark Forman

Mark - I'm all for lapdances at conferences. I don't care how geeky the topic is... I'm THERE, man! ;) - Eric Hamilton
