Coincidences are fun, and this one is pretty cool. So yesterday I posted about Friendfeed needing two things to make it complete. Well strike one out of the list, because search has been done as Techcrunch, Mashable and the guys at Friendfeed themselves are reporting. I know when to say a product is lacking, and I know when to praise - this is time for the latter, for this simple modification, my friends, just made Friendfeed worth my time and account.
Now I can actually see what my friends are saying (or creating) about design, userexperience or development - these are just examples, obviously. And I can do site-specific searches (something I also asked for ) which is down right amazing. And (I just tried), I can get RSS feeds for these searches. Friendfeed people, you got me. I’m a full-on user from this moment on. You win - actually, I do, because my information overload is soon to be gone.
Note: I’m re-reading my post and it sound...

A few years ago, not a lot of people used RSS, and those that did, didn’t really subscribe to that many feeds. We limited ourselves to a small set of sites and sources to keep up with because of the limited nature of the tools we used (browser bookmarks, and our memory for remembering URLs). We’re now at a time when the tools exist to help us not have to remember.
This could be you, right?
My RSS reader keeps track of hundreds of feeds for me, and I’ve grown used to...

I’ve been (and so has the rest of the team here ) pretty quiet during the last few months. Mostly because we were pretty busy working on Totspot ( blog ), which we launched with a group of really smart people . Totspot is a social publishing platform for parents and their kids. It’s a pretty niche market, but an exciting one too.
Totspot started out as client work and it became our single focus for months - definitely worth it, for several reasons. One: i...

Two years ago, Robert Scoble and Shel Israel documented in “Naked conversations” how blogs where changing businesses and their engagement with consumers. 2006 was in fact what you might call the year of the company blog. Companies left and right, big and small, opened blogs to engage in conversations with their costumers and fans. This brough the barrier of communication - previously assumed huge and unbreakable - down to waist height. Anyone with a little interest could get in touc...

This is not my typical post - be forewarned. It has little to do with entrepreneurship, innovation or technology. It is, though, about the “computer” in you - your brain. It’s Jill Bolte Taylor’s speech at this year’s TED, that was posted on their website a few days ago, that I just finished watching. Jill Taylor is a neuroscientist that experienced a stroke a few years ago and gets to tell the story.
Now, before the video itself. The way Dr. Jill Taylor describ...
