Facebook users freak out, CEO responds (Download Squad)

Sep 6th 2006 4:31PM I just started a group called "Students *For* The New Facebook".

For one, as best I can tell, no one else has, which is surprising.

Secondly, I actually think, as you note here, that current facebookers just don't see how beneficial this can be on a site like Facebook.

Of course, I was only able to invite 60 people (I'm in no way an avid facebooker), so no telling if it'll spread.

Maybe you guys can help get the word out.

What are your favorite Firefox add-ons? (Download Squad)

Jul 26th 2006 5:03PM I've got 50 extensions installed, but if I had to choose 5, it'd be:

1. Tab Mix Plus
2. IE Tab
3. Googlepedia
4. Yoono (for synching bookmarks)
5. Metawishlist Toolbar (to keep track of the stuff I want so I'm not scrambling for birthday/Christmas ideas for myself)

RSS Readers: SOUND OFF! (Download Squad)

Jul 23rd 2006 11:32PM I third reblog (after comments no. 57 and 75). I've been using for about 5 or 6 months, and it is bar none the best RSS reader out there. Check out Lifehacker's article on it ( http://www.lifehacker.com/software/feature/how-to-set-up-reblog-killer-server-side-feed-reader-160825.php ) and then check out my "published" feed ( http://www.4guysandawiki.com/michael/refeed/out/?user=1 ) from my own site to get a small taste of what it can do (all the items I choose to "publish" get thrown into an RSS feed I can use to go back and check out later).

It's a river of news style app, and like the two previous commenters mentioned, requires your own web space, MySQL, and PHP, but can also be hosted too. A simple cron job will update it as you feel necessary (every hour for me), and from there on out you can pick through all your feeds to your heart's content.

*Highly* recommended.
