Hate it. - Sweyn via twhirl
I'm so confused. That's what my GR has been looking like at least since last month. The last time I visited before that, was probably in July, so memory and all that, but I thought it always looked like this. Am I missing something? - Anika Malone
it's looked like the first image or the 2nd Anika? - Zee.
The first,because I didn't notice a second image. Now, I see the difference. It's not that bad. The blue on the sidebar, is ugly anyway. Reminds me of Yahoo! circa '94. - Anika Malone
@Anika @Zee you gotta see the second image (with the little arrow) -- that's the new one - Jorge Escobar
lol... - Zee.
Personally a big fan of the new look, much cleaner and professional - Matt Harwood

“Esquire's cover charge”

"It began in 1933 as a lad's mag of sorts, but Esquire soon had more serious aspirations. It was publishing the likes of Truman Capote and Dorothy Parker, and needed covers to match its content. So, advertising whiz-kid George Lois obliged with a run of 92 trailblazing covers dating from 1962 to 1972. He packed provocative concepts into simple but powerful composite images which would squarely confront the turbulent times and grab the public's attention; images such as Andy Warhol drowning in his own soup can, and Muhammad Ali being skewered like St Sebastian (above). And it worked - during his brief tenure the magazine's circulation soared from 500,000 to 2m." - Anna Haro

Leo, could you explain me how to insert audio in the posts like you please? - Didier Lahely
It probably has to do with enclosures in the RSS feed. - Jason Huebel
I'd like to know also, if you get a chance - Tom Mack
If the audio is in the feed, FF will put the player in itself. I have my Utterz feed listed in FF, and when I leave an audio post FF puts that little player in too. - Ciaoenrico
Please change "Steve Gibson's comments" to "Steve Gillmor's comments" on the description page for this episode. :) - Dr. Apps via twhirl

Yeah. i noticed too. Super easy to do stuff now. Not the annoying tabs everywhere. Looks great. - Nathan Gilmer
Google Reader got an interface update too. Its like Christmas on the internet. - Nathan Gilmer
Sweet, that must mean that version 2.7 is imminent. - Mark Krynsky
Played around with 2.7 a bit on WP.com and really looking forward to the WP.org release. Nervous about upgrading though with all the plugins and all. - Graham English
They had a countdown to roll-out, too! Hey Robert. :) - Mona N.
I'm also really looking forward to the 2.7 release on WP.org. Ditto the concerns of Graham on upgrading though especially since the Podpress plugin already doesn't really support the current version. - Phill Ramey
I've been using 2.7 for a couple of weeks and haven't had any problems at all so far. - Matthew Bennett
wow. Just tried it too. Very impressive: I really like how you can customize things. Interesting to see the speed at which wordpress is mutating compared to blogger. I am wondering why google is not pushing harder in this front. This is one of the few services on the web I pay a subscription for. - Edwin Khodabakchian

I think we have not reached the bottom until now. Worse luck! - Marcel Janus
wow, crazy. tell her to contact me if she needs any development - Jason Pratt
I am trying to remain personally optimistic, but I don't believe the bottom has been reached. - Louis Landon
This is what I love about being a student and working with other students. I can do everything much cheaper. $1 mil would probably fund my current business for 2+ years easily. - Daniel Zarick
It'll get worse before it gets better. Next two quarters will be tough. - Patricia
@Louis Landon Me too. I still hope thing will get better. - Marcel Janus
Eventually, things will get better. - Patricia
how people/firms/investors respond in bad times is much more telling of their character than how they respond in good times. they're doing it because they think they can get away with it. that window will close. - Bryce Roberts
Look, things are really bad and getting worse. They will eventually get better as Patricia says, but it will be hard for very many people. No one is really insulated, but there's no point in panicking or worrying about what you can't fix. However, we all should try to understand WTF happened and learn from it. I just shared a speech today by Charlie McCreevy of the European Commission in my timeline that everyone should read. It's simple and clear. - IRWebReport.com

Just look at the Container Ship Time Charter Assessment Index. It's down from 1 022 points in February to 416 points. - Marcel Janus
If I may be honest, I'm sick of reading how bad economy is. Heck, what is the economy? Isn't it but the sum of single business and their relations? If a single business is in trouble, then likely because it isn't producing something useful, isn't able to sell it or doesn't have the funding and the stamina to survive the dip. Maybe on the big scale it isn't that different. Maybe we weren't producing the things that we needed. Maybe we didn't build good, strong relationships. Maybe we, as a society, have become crybabies and simple lack the stamina to push through this. - Dushan Wegner
The guy at dinner that Robert mentions was Jordi Soler (@jordisoler). He's really remarkable. He's running a family-owned business that trucks containers around Europe, and is totally plugged into the web tech scene, reading all sorts of blogs, signed up to lots of services, etc. And a really nice guy. - Terry Jones

Nice to have you visiting our fine country for the weekend. Gives me hope that you're maybe able to tell us all about some amazing "something" from the UK. :) - Matthew J Hendrickse
I am here in London for the first time and loving it. Working on getting a visit to Google's HQ with no luck so far. - Johnny Makkar
Bring thermal undies, the weather is atrocious at the moment. Not that it's great under normal circumstances. - KateB
Look forward to hearing what you're up to here Robert - Drew B
welcome. it's a lovely place - Sofia Gkiousou
Robert, nice to have you in London. What about the Sunday meet up, you talked about earlier today? - Bastian
I feel like I haven't seen much of you. When does LeWeb start? - Francine Hardaway via twhirl
Have fun... http://portlanders.ning.com is the best place in the uk ::o) here we have the only olympic site yet to be finished. the sailing. :o) - Rob Sellen
Drew: mostly we're just here to visit with Maryam's brother, but I'm looking to meet up with geeks and on Sunday night we're doing a meetup, too. Email me scobleizer@gmail.com for details about that. - Robert Scoble
You should get the train down to Brighton - an hour south of London. It's the UK's equivalent of SF. Loads of small tech companies and a great geek community. - Jamie M

Increasing the number of people doesn't necessarily make the selection of material better. Plus, you also end up with a lot of duplication. - Morton Fox
Louis Wins! Flawless Victory! - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Morton: heh, the repetition tells me it's important! :-) - Robert Scoble
Morton, with the new grouping feature, the duplication just bubbles the story up again. This promotes the "importance" angle while complimenting the "freshness". - Rob Diana

Looks interesting. I seem to recall checking out a similar service a few weeks back. What would make it more useful would be to see all the account feeds in one location in addition to posting to the various Twitter accounts. Finally, plans for a fee. I like free. - Kenley Neufeld
