It's Cheaper In The Long Run To Pay For A Professional

It’s Cheaper In The Long Run To Pay For A Professional

By Chris Yeh on August 20, 2013

I firmly believe in the truth of the old saying, “It’s cheaper in the long run to pay for a professional.”  It’s an axiom that applies in nearly any situation, from decide whether or not to attempt to fix your own plumbing problems, to dealing with groupies if you’re a young All-Star. Yet while most […]

The Cloud Dissipation Problem

The Cloud Dissipation Problem

By Dave Michels on March 15, 2013

Google has decided to kill Reader. This is not the first time a product I use and value has been discontinued. I continue to use lots of products that were discontinued, such as my TV and car. The difference is my TV and car continue to work just fine. I can still get service, and […]

The Death of the Feed

The Death of the Feed

By Chris Yeh on April 12, 2011

I remember in 2001 when I first heard about RSS. Back then, we still called them weblogs, and there were so few blogs that it was news when a new one started. For example, I distinctly remember reading excitedly about a promising new VC blogger named Jeff Nolan from SAP Ventures. At first, I just […]

Scoble is Wrong When He Says He is Wrong:-)  Full Feeds Still Rock

Scoble is Wrong When He Says He is Wrong:-) Full Feeds Still Rock

By Zoli Erdos on November 23, 2009

Wow, I’m sensing another TechMeme Storm rising (and a certain analyst would call it a circle j***, but that’s another matter). Robert Scoble says he was wrong when he said In 2006 he wouldn’t use any news aggregator or feeds that aren’t full text. I think the Scobleizer is wrong now that he says he […]

Has Twitter Finally Killed Summize?

Has Twitter Finally Killed Summize?

By Zoli Erdos on August 26, 2009

Since today appears to be Twitter-day (which day isn’t?), I’m adding my 2 cents. Summize has always been fast and reliable. In fact in the days of the worst Twitter outage, with Reply and other functions disabled, Summize was the savior of the Twitterverse.  But now that Twitter acquired Summize, I’m seeing it dead quire […]

Aggregation May Be Dead, But No One Has Told the Advertisers

Aggregation May Be Dead, But No One Has Told the Advertisers

By Ben Kepes on August 26, 2009

Just getting my own 2 cents in on the theme du jour – Zoli’s had his, and Marshall has come back with a blistering post. But anyway… Over on ZDNet, Sam Diaz posted what can only be described as a silly post 9actually one of my blogging heroes Bob Warfield called it just that) in […]

Oh, No, the RSS Debate Again…

Oh, No, the RSS Debate Again…

By Zoli Erdos on August 25, 2009

The “Email is Dead” theme is so last year, this year’s classic is the “RSS is Dead” debate, resurfacing every three months or so. Today it was likely sparked by the Googlers themselves, prompting Sam Diaz @ Between the Lines quickly declare he was no longer using feed readers.   But Marshall Kirkpatrick says he “uses […]

The Challenges of Allowing Offline Usage in a SaaS Based System

The Challenges of Allowing Offline Usage in a SaaS Based System

By Guest Authors on August 17, 2009

So I was reading an article recently about the latest Google Reader and how it still can’t be used offline with full features. In particular the article focuses on its inability to allow you to read articles offline  and then flag those articles as already read, such that when you get back online Google Reader […]

Google Reader Gets Improvements, but Offline is Ignored Again

Google Reader Gets Improvements, but Offline is Ignored Again

By Zoli Erdos on August 13, 2009

Whenever a Google product gets updates, tiny or big, there’s a chorus of praise … which is OK, after all everyone needs link-bait, but what about some critical thinking?  Today’s big new is additional social sharing and “mark as read” controls – they are all useful, you can read the details from any of the […]

How Many Times Can We Bury Bloglines? Google Reader Rules. But How Good is That?

How Many Times Can We Bury Bloglines? Google Reader Rules. But How Good is That?

By Zoli Erdos on August 10, 2009

Image by cambodia4kidsorg via Flickr TechCrunch put Bloglines in their Deadpool today. I think it’s long been there.  I wrote my  R.I.P Bloglines piece months ago, when Bloglines represented a whopping 4% of our feed readers, down from 25% 3 years ago. I declared: There is Only One Feed Reader – Google and I’m afraid […]

Moving Beyond RSS (Maybe)

Moving Beyond RSS (Maybe)

By Guest Authors on July 23, 2009

Something weird is happening with me and RSS. I should preface this by saying that I’m a *classic* late adopter (insert irony here) for a ton of things (I don’t have an iPhone; hell, i don’t CARRY a cell phone 90% of the time), but a semi-early adopter for other things. The things I tend […]

Bear with me for this somewhat long post, ‘cause I am not only discussing the sweeping changes Gmail made today, but in the end will also tell you what they are going to do next year – or perhaps after that. Gmail Changes The Gmail label changes announced today and to be released to accounts […]

Bloglines Offline, But Who Cares?  It's Been  Comatose Anyway.

Bloglines Offline, But Who Cares? It's Been Comatose Anyway.

By Zoli Erdos on May 9, 2009

The weekend’s non-news is that feed reader Bloglines is down. Who cares… in fact has anyone noticed it?  The once dominant feed-reader has been on the decline for years, and no, the decline did not start with the sale to Ask, but long before. Ask apparently failed to sell it, does not know what to […]

The Bogus RSS Debate

The Bogus RSS Debate

By Zoli Erdos on May 6, 2009

Why Bogus?  Because it’s not a real debate.  It’s just bombastic statements, and a perfect link-bait – which I admit I’ve just taken. Steve Gillmor no longer uses Google Reader, he gets all the information he wants from Twitter, so he declares RSS dead. He says the race for real-time is already won.   I agree […]

There is Only One Feed Reader - Google

There is Only One Feed Reader – Google

By Zoli Erdos on April 14, 2009

Let’s face it, Game Over, nothing stands up to Google Reader.  Last time I checked Feed Reader stats on my personal blog, I could observe Bloglines decline, but it still had significant market share, almost equal to up-and-coming Google:   Three years later Google Reader has 52% share, while Bloglines shrank to a pitiful 13%. […]
