Uh, you got some email there in your inbox. Like 875 of 'em. - Josh Haley

Kelly, I agree! I'm unifying our orgs' communications through it and all the pretty hook-ups:RTM, Gcal, etc. It's a thing of beauty. :) - Melanie Reed
Who here thinks Paul is sincerely sorry that he hasn't replied to our emails yet? :-) - Bruce Lewis
I like the Shiny theme. - Dimitrios Diamantaras
I don't think I could take a different Gmail theme. That would completely throw me off, at least for a little while. - Nate Pilling via twhirl

Yes, I have begun to use this as well - Melanie Reed
And you can use it from gmail too... requires FF 2.0. http://www.rememberthemilk.com... - Juan Pablo González
The addon for Gmail is really handy. Keep track of your todo lists without ever leaving Gmail. - Mark Wilson
Just discovered RTM (before searching for this post). I think this is probably the best task manager I've seen so far. Syncs with almost any device (iPod app is great), with Google Calendar, there's an iGoogle widget, it has Atom and iCal exports, etc. L-O-V-E it. I'll keep using it for a few more days of my trial, but I'm already planning on paying $25/yr for the pro account. - Jason Huebel
for those on Iphone, Gcal and Outlook - you can also sync All calendars including RTM by using a free exchange server at nuevasync.com . I update stuff in any of them and all the other Calendars sync/update "automatically".pretty nifty. - SnakeDoc
I'm a long time RTM user and love it. - Jeremy Kunz
Is it easier to use than the organizer on a windows mobile device? - John-David Lusan via fftogo
i love it too. haven't found a good Android app for it yet. the iphone app is great - Baratunde Thurston via twhirl
and there's a gmail labs plugin which doesn't depend on firefox extensions - Baratunde Thurston via twhirl
i've been using it for a while and love it. i ponied up the $25 for the pro account and the $9.99 for Todo on my iPhone (no RTM app at the time) and have been really happy. Now that I've tried the RTM app, I kind of like Todo better. No regrets here about upgrading to the pro account or the $10 for Todo. - Mark Foundos
How do you compare this with iwantsandy? I've been using iwantsandy and I'm pretty happy with it... - Jorge Escobar
never tried iwantsandy but in skimming a few reviews they look very similar but iwantsandy seems totally email-based whereas RTM you can add tasks etc via email but also via the web/google gadget/iphone app. - Mark Foundos
The more I use it the more I like its integration capabilities over that of iwantsandy. - Melanie Reed
Can I sync RTM with Outlook? I didn't find anything on their website. - Marcel Janus
For the PRO users: Does it worth to pay for premium account? - Gian

Well, Zee, I'm still waiting on Labs. And that was launched months ago on Gmail itself. I'm not hopeful :( - Matt Harwood
I SOOO LOVE IT, i'm rocking the ninja theme now - Gordon Swaby
i managed to get mine eventually...they did say there were issues apparently Matt - Zee.
Strange antics with the new themes and Gmail Resdesigned - guess there will be a new Stylish script posted soon. - Paul Nixon
I have Themes now. - Russellreno
i like the themes, but I hate the left side bar, whys they in white bars with yellow letters, what is up with that, i have granny eyes, for chris' sakes - Scarlett
Themes haven't shown up in my Gmail yet, sadly. I also doubt they'll ever be supported by Google Apps for Domains. :-( - Jason Huebel
I wonder if anyone on the GMail team is color blind - the default theme is full of blank areas for me. - Mike Taylor
It's not happening to my Gmail ATM but looking at the screenshot, some of the themes looked pretty stoked! :) - Jonathan Kong
Mike, I was thinking the same thing, I love the themes until you look at the left hand side - Scarlett
Scarlett, I just had to reply to you. It's the GWTW thing. Never got to do that till now.:) - Melanie Reed

FeedDemon - The best RSS reader for Windows. Period.
Thursday at 12:15 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
Other than being a desktop app, why should I prefer this to GReader? - Mattie Kenny
I meant that as an earnest question, btw. - Mattie Kenny
totally agree with Mattie.... why ??? - Tim
The best feed reader for windows is a Chrome shortcut to Google Reader - Mitch
I thought it was until I started using Google Reader - Michael Fidler
FULL ACK @Mattie - Marcel Janus
Mattie, hmmm...other than the desktop thing, it does not keep you tied to all-knowing Google, something which a paranoid nut like me feels happy about. Perhaps, this post can probably explain it better. http://tinyurl.com/2vrjaa - JazJaz via twhirl
I stay with Google Reader. There is no advantage. Have to agree with Mitch and Mattie. - Ryo
Please try the latest beta version for a week. - JazJaz
I stay with netvibes and/or feedly ;) - gekow
Flock Browser is far superior or if not I will agree wit Greader, Friendfeed and Twhirl :) - Ian Cleasby via twhirl
One really good reason to use a desktop reader is that some of them can monitor pages that don't have a feed and alert you to any changes. Essential feature for keeping ALL of your software up to date. Additionally, there are feeds you can't subscribe to in Google Reader, because they require authentication, and unfortunately that's not something Google Reader supports. - April Russo
I like Google reader. Period (lol) - Keshav Khera via twhirl
Has anyone done a feedly vs. FeedDemon comparison? - Edwin Khodabakchian
I like Google Reader too, but I am an administrator on 3 forums and have to subscribe to feeds for the admin boards, and that requires a reader that can accept a username & pass to log me in to access the nonpublic feeds. I also like having popup notification when new posts are made on these forums, so I can quickly delete spam within 30 seconds of it being posted. - April Russo
feedly is messy. google reader has toomany limitations and is visually all screwed up. i don't understand why newsgator doesn't make an rss reader similar to netnewswire. feeddemon isn't horrible, but it could be so much better. netnewswire is probably the best i've tried and continue to use. only for mac, but the best thing is that it's free. - Cee Bee
Cee Bee: Is there a specific part of feedly you find messy? - Edwin Khodabakchian
Excuse my novice-ship, but one condition I enjoy about feedly is that it allows me to both upload to my twitter and my friendfeed accounts, almost simultaneously, and the luxury of sharing it with other g-friends. Now, if feeddemon can do all of this, I'm sold.Sold I tells ya!! - Terence Washington
edwin -- i have over 600 subscriptions and found it a bit of a nuisance to navigate in the small space on feedly as well as view other people's shares. this goes the same for google -- it tries to fit too much into one space (notes, shares, suggestions, options, etc) whereas with a stand alone program like netnewswire, i can have all the options, settings and other gadgets for different functions not only in a separate tool bar, but menu as well leaving the dedicated rss reader to do what it does best - Cee Bee
cee bee - thanks for the feedback. I will pass that to the design team. - Edwin Khodabakchian
used to use that when I didnt have a Mac , it is a good one - johnpiercy
For those of you who don't know already, FeedDemon is the (slightly) lesser cousin of NetNewsWire. They both share the same parent - Newsgator. - JazJaz
Just started using this yesterday, and I'm convinced. I LOVE this app. - Flora via twhirl
Unfortunately I think any app has to be benchmarked against Google Reader. If not, it's nothing more than an RSS scraper. - Glenn Batuyong
have been using this when a) i had to pay for it and b) google reader did not exist. and still love it. if only for sentimental reasons .... - denise
I don't think I'll ever use a desktop RSS reader. I need my reader to be in the cloud b/c I read from 3 workstations. I love Google reader esp w/ sharing. - tsudohnimh
@tsudohnimh FeedDemon can synchronize feeds across multiple computers too. And you can also share items just like you do with Google Reader. Trouble is, not many people know about these features. FD can be customized to provide an uncluttered, aesthetic interface to read your feeds. - JazJaz
@JazJaz ty for the info. Does it also provide a web interface for reading feeds? - tsudohnimh
tsudo, FeedDemon syncs with newsgator, which on top of syncing each copy of FeedDemon with each pc you use, also syncs with their online reader at http://www.newsgator.com, also mobile at http://m.newsgator.com - Mike Kogelman
No web version mean me no like. I don't want to keep installing apps. I want cross platform compatibility. - Ernie Oporto

Smule’s Ocarina: This Is How You Build A Great iPhone App
November 7 at 3:05 pm - Link
"This is how an iPhone app should be done. As we pointed out in September, too few developers are leveraging the platform’s network effect to differentiate themselves, instead choosing to develop standalone apps that can be easily cloned. By being first to market with this app, Smule has safeguarded itself against the competition: even if another ocarina app comes along that is network compatible, Smule’s application will likely have the largest user base and will be very difficult to catch up with." - ♣genieyclo♣
"And if Smule is smart, it’ll keep making these virtual instruments, allowing it to share the same network to create a worldwide orchestra that would be nearly impossible to replicate (and it sounds like it will - the company has developed an audio platform called ChucK that will likely be applied to other instruments)." - ♣genieyclo♣

Capybara - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
November 6 at 7:20 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
"During the Christian celebration of Lent, capybara meat is especially popular as it is claimed that the Catholic church, in a special dispensation, classified the animal as a fish in the 16th century. There are differing accounts of how the dispensation arose. The most cited refers to a group of 16th Century missionaries who made a request which implied that the semi-aquatic capybara might be a fish and also hinted that there would be an issue with starvation if the animal wasn't classified as suitable for Lent." - Tudor Bosman via Bookmarklet

Public transportation makes less sense in rural areas. I should have come up with some better examples. A few others: sewer systems, curb-side recycling. Fortunately though, we have different levels of government, which helps eliminate some of these problems. - Robert Felty
