Thanks for contacting me. I'll need to reinstall Gears and see if I can recreate the problem.
I'll contact you directly.

Kudos to Google for paying attention!

Hi Ron, sorry you had a bad experience with Reader + Gears. It shouldn't impact your online experience since you have to manually sync and go offline for Reader. I'm on the Gears team so I appreciate your feedback. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions about Gears. BTW, what kinds of stuff do you work on?

Best,
Brad Neuberg

Re: Mike Arrington makes it clear who OWNS Steve Gillmor & Gang

Thanks Dave. I copied Canter from the transcript. But will now correct my post.
Probably MY typo on Stev G.

Marc Canter's name is spelled this way not the way you have it.

And Steve Gillmor's name has two "L"s in it, not one.

Yeah I was an editor in a former life. :-)

Every time I've ever heard Mike talk, he's had a sarcastic tone, but that seems like it's just him. There's nothing wrong with that.

Re: Alan Gutierrez says “Burn your feedreader”

Yes. It's the perfect number.

The basic premise is that it is ludicrous to funnel the world wide web into your inbox is ludicrous.

There is no good number. A low number and you may as well visit the page with bookmarks. A high number and your almost certainly dealing with the inbox problems of context switching without contextual cues.

Re: Now using DISQUS commenting system

as I recall (and the bits go whizzing by pretty fast, so this
"memory" may be "fals" ;) I saw a comment you made that showed up
in my FriendFeed.

I had high hopes fopr Disqus, but so far it \has not racheted up
teh comments re my blog. however, I have bneen a little slothful
re blogging recently.

Try to make SAMBA siit up and do tricks is sucking teh oxegyn out of the room.

I for one very rarely commented on blogs pre-diqus. Now I pan to make an effort to comment on blogs which use disqus. I love the whole concept. I like it as a commented and as a blogger having also implemented disqus on my blog.

Just curious, did you decide to follow me on disqus for any particular reason?

Re: Now using DISQUS commenting system

andycowl — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:43:00 -0000

Yes. I did see the link and I am well aware who Fred Wilson is.

He is a brilliant blogger, Venture Capitalist and Disqus advocate.

So much so that Fred has done mcuh more than either of us and actually some of his own hard-earned money in Disqus.

$500,000 in fact. Sure hope he doesn't ruin Disus by putting intrusive ads on the service :-)

Presumably, at some point, he would like to see a return of that investment though.

Fred Wilson is a fmous VC and blogger. I had a link to me (or so I thought).
http://avc.blogs.com/

thanks for commenting. I have high hopes that Disqus will reduce teh friction enough that my blog will get more comments.

I have a decent level of readership, but comments have always been sparse.

be well

andycowl — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:38:46 -0000

Disqus is brilliant. I enabled it on my blog yesterday. I love the Combo widget and the promptness and quality of support.

PS. Who's Fred Wilson ? :-)
