Agreed, it won't really work outside of Gmail. Out of sight, out of mind and all that. It really needs clear privacy settings, clear demarcation of email contacts and social contacts (with the option for contacts to be in both).

Why not just disable it? It's not difficult.

Who is angry? I'm not. They need to fix the privacy issues but not pull the whole thing.

It's a great idea in light of Facebook incorporating more email features into it's services.

I love Buzz (and Reader). Wave was oversold and seems just like realtime message boarding. There is an intense amount of hate being generated for Buzz. <anecdotal>It seems a lot of people seem to dislike the intrusion into Gmail, ma

No, there are different games for different people. There are distinct genres as well as games targeted at specific demographic segments (e.g. tween girls).

What indication? Are usage metrics on those features public knowledge or something?

Then turn it off. I'm okay with chat in Gmail - when I want to chat. If I don't want to chat I simply sign off. Simple enough. Options are good.

Winer and the majority (all?) of those commenting act as if Gmail has been this walled-off pristine email client. WRONG. There is chat, RSS feeds, SMS, Calendar, Docs, Location and iGoogle gadgets, etc all bundled up in Gmail if you want th

Agreed, I think it looks nice and catchy. It might need some design work I'm not qualified to comment on.

Interesting service and I agree with most of what's been said here. I have to reiterate the naming choice - it really does make me think of "faux", which would in turn cause me to hesitate passing out the URL to show my resume.

Agreed, it's really the repetition that is somewhat annoying. Announce/launch days can be doubly annoying. The truth is, there's only so much to their products - especially the 'locked down' ones - that we don't really need THAT much inform

I hesitate to call something like this an operating system but it's pretty cool.

The tools are also not there yet. In order for HTML5 to really gain momentum there needs to be a set of tools that are as easy to create with as Flash.
260.
by robotron 17y ago
It does have interesting points but just comes across as a defense of Flash, even with heavy mention of not necessarily wanting to see it survive.
261.
by robotron 17y ago
"Disclaimer: This post is not about defending Flash." No, it really is. This is just as annoying as anyone claiming that HTML5+extras means the immediate (or even near-term) death of Flash.

I can see why this post was downvoted but you've got some good points.

Our household has notebooks, netbooks, DS Lites, PSP's, a Kindle and Android phones. I don't think we need another gadget.

This experiment is definitely worthy of a post. I haven't looked at how he did that or the "CSS Bird" shadow effect but I'm impressed that can be done without Javascript.

How do you come to the conclusion that it was because register_globals was turned on? There's not even a valid reason to turn that setting on, with legacy not even being an excuse.

"Big" means that you can hire the people to create your in-house framework or whatever.

Well, I purchased an Android phone late last year. Most everyone else I know who wants a smartphone already has one. Bad timing, maybe?
