"Owens, in an interview that aired Thursday on the NFL Network during halftime of the Bengals-Steelers game, says he is frustrated by his numbers and the Dallas Cowboys' offense. In his view, he says, if Dallas' goal is to get to the Super Bowl, the team "can't obtain that championship if I'm not involved in the offense."" - Mike Kogelman via Bookmarklet

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

"It appears in this video that President Bush's approval is in a sorrier state than polls indicate. In a video taken at the G20 summit, Bush walks across a line of world leaders without shaking or being asked to shake any of their hands. Whether the President is being rejected by the world leaders or he is rejecting them, CNN's Rick Sanchez aptly says that Bush looks like "the most unpopular kid in high school that nobody liked."" - Mike Kogelman via Bookmarklet

"Center-Left vs. Center-right Nation Although the Democrats won huge victories in 2006 and 2008, a Republican talking point for weeks has been that this is still a center-right nation and Barack Obama had better govern from the center-right--or else. The basis for this statement is that more people self-identify as "conservative" than as "liberal." However, Tod Lindberg, a former editor for the Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, says the definitions of these terms have changed immensely over the years. So has the boundary of acceptable behavior. Some examples may be illuminating. In, say, 1980, it would not have been acceptable for a Democratic candidate to have an unwed pregnant teenage daughter; now it makes a Republican candidate more human. In 1980, the Democrats would have been crucified if they had proposed nationalizing the banks; now a Republican administration de facto does it. In 1980, no Democrat even mentioned homosexuals in public, let alone argued that same-sex marriage should " - Mike Kogelman via Bookmarklet

The thought police are en-route... please remain in your seat. - Mike Kogelman via IM
The only police that are here asked me to pay the bill. - Robert Scoble
The two secret police officers waiting outside to take you in :-P - Amit Morson
Now that's good police work. Did they ask you to pay their bill as well? :) - Mike Kogelman
EEP. Be careful! - tanya
My credit is getting crunched! Damn communists! :-) - Robert Scoble
Hi Robert, I've been following your posts from China and I'm quite impressed. Are we witnessing a radical change in China ? Should we be worried that this change will bring a major impact to our economies (bigger than the one we have already witnessed) ? - Miguel Albano
They are probably not as concerned about foreigners saying that. It's kind of expected really. It can be easy to think situation is better than it is, but undeniably I share your belief that the democratic situation is slowly improving. We shall not forget that democracy and freedom of speech must be reached by willing people in their own tempo. - Monia
There's always a work-around - paul mooney
It reminds me what Roger Waters once said "Fear Builds Walls" chinese government must be afraid on giving power to the people... - Peter Palatnik
Is there a moo.com competitors there? I can't find any. - adolfo foronda
Damn, Scoble's charm always saves him ;) - Pranav Bhasin
the Chinese are at a cross-rounds, the fred exchange of ideas is good for the country but bad for the government. I'm sure they'll find a work around, the Chinese have been the ultimate pragmatist for centuries. - Robert Hafer
The question is, can locals do that? You're a foreigner, and in the foreign media. They want you to be happy with your stay and report good things about China. I'm not sure, until they become a non-Communistic country, that the locals have complete freedom over there. - Jesse Stay
you will never leave the country alive - sofarsoshawn
You have 30 seconds... - Carlos Granier-Phelps
Imagine if they did stomp on Scoble. He would get tons of press for it, they would look bad, and only Robert wins. So I'm sure it's a strategic reason he is being left alone. I used to get emails from a record label in China. Haven't for years. He just disappeared. - MarkCarras
It's in their best interest to make an American think things are becoming freer, really. See if you can talk to some locals about this stuff, maybe then you'll start getting some pushback. - Victor Ganata
News of the day. Blogger Robert Scoble mysteriously disappeared, never to be heard from again. - gfurry
Wait, wait, wait.... Hold on here... Irish giving anything away for free? - Mark VandenBerg
They don't monitor everyone, trust me. You have to be a person of interest (well, I FIND YOU interesting). - Claudia Cragg
Those are good questions, can a local do the same thing? - Daltonsbriefs
can locals get together in China and blog about stuff that's on their mind? a reminder that Scoble is at CNBloggercon. 500 of China's top bloggers getting together. are there still limitations and restrictions. yes. positive change in China has been an evolution, not revolution. the former requiring patience. the latter being the quickest way to shut down positive change. - Christine Lu
But can a Chinese blogger openly criticize the central government? - Victor Ganata
Can locals do this? What I've heard is that they have and they often get away with it. But once in a while someone gets thrown into prison for speaking out too much, or too harshly, so they've learned to be nuanced with their criticism, or use humor. Several people were wearing shirts with river crabs on them. That is a direct criticism of the government, but in a way that no government official would be able to throw them in jail for. People are very resourceful in coming up with ways around stupid rules. - Robert Scoble
When I was in China a couple of years ago, except for momentary censoring on CNN, I saw no incursions into my freedom - Francine Hardaway via IM
And, yes, locals discuss this, and many other items very openly. The newspapers here have tons of news about the milk poisoning. That is a huge change from when I was last here (the state-owned media would have never discussed something like that here). Is it perfect? No way. Far from it. But it's a lot better than most people realize and it's changing fast. - Robert Scoble
I want to buy some of these subversive river crab shorts. Or possibly a river crab tie. Can't we all get behind subtly sticking it to the man? - Occasional Headbanger
somebody ought to take a screengrab of this. - V for Veselka
Occasional: I want one that says "I've been harmonized." (Blocked by Chinese censors). A river crab one would be fun too. - Robert Scoble
Perfect! And for those of you who did not catch Headbanger's reference to River Crab: rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2007/09/eating-river-cr.html - lonnie b hodge
Yesterday, I was interviewed by a European TV station after my Bloggercon presentation and they harped on the political ramifications of the event. I am far more interested in the global connections that will come of you and Shel Israel, David Feng and others being part of an amazing gathering of bloggers from across Asia. - lonnie b hodge
Lonnie - I wasn't referencing that, but Robert's comment previous to mine, but that is completely awesome. Thanks for the info! - Occasional Headbanger
When you can read my blog of reviews for newer software that works on old slow 9x machines, from China (without using a proxy), we'll talk about it. Even my software site was blocked in China till I changed hosting at the beginning of this year. There is a whole lot of completely harmless non-political stuff that is blocked just to make sure other stuff on the same host can't be viewed. And this is how their actions affect ALL of us...not just people living in China. - April Russo
I mean, that's sort of what I expected. You can say what you like as long as you're careful and don't piss off the wrong people. But there's still that "as long as" part. - Victor Ganata

"Obama's life story is markedly different from all U.S. presidents before him, and the differences go far beyond his skin color. He is also the first president born outside the continental United States (he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii), and the first to have been a constitutional law professor by profession. But did you know his career ambition as a child? What his favorite food is? What his name means and where it comes from? What his nickname was in high school?" - Mike Kogelman via Bookmarklet
