Bay Area Next Week
Scott and I will be in the Bay Area next week, taking a few meetings and catching up with some old friends. We might even squeeze in a little development time1. Get in touch if you’d like to meet up.
We were also talking over the idea of spending an hour or three at a coffee shop on Wednesday evening or Thursday ( in Palo Alto area?) to meet with local alpha testers and anyone else who’d like to come by and chit chat. We could have a little FeedLounge demo set-up too if there are people who’d like to play with it. Would this be of interest?
- It might be more fun to get a couple developers together and try to keep them from working. [back]
Jesus, release the damn thing already. You’ve been posting about this thing for months. Nobody cares about the servers and the hardware installations. You act like you guys are creating the next Windows. For all the talk and work you are putting into this thing, its just an RSS aggregator, how different can it be from the millions that are already out there?
Come on, Henry, behave. Feedlounge is pretty cool, and it’s not as technically simple as you might imagine.
Henry,
We want to release. Really we do. Imagine you are in our shoes, you have something you really want to show the world, but you know the moment you launch, thousands of people will jump on. If the application cannot scale to handle it, you, the user, are going to be angry that it “doesn’t work”. No one would believe that the application was useful, because no one could use it.
We do not want that for either of us (you the potential user, and the FeedLounge team). Please be patient with us for a bit longer.
Scott
When you going to be in town? I’d be interested in seeing a feedlounge demo.
Woo henry. Easy there. This stuff isn’t as easy as it seems.

I’d be interested in meeting you guys in Palo Alto. I’m not one of the alpha testers but I’ve been following the product.
Same as Tony, but in Berkeley (East Bay).
I have been playing with Gregarius http://gregarius.net/ recently, and am curious as to how Feedlounge compares. Knowing Alex, I expect nothing but the best (aside from tiny fonts), but I’d like to see it.
I’ve used Gregarius and although it is a neat application, I’m willing to bet FeedLounge will set the standard of web-based RSS applications…hands down.
Wednesday Night in Palo Alto
When: Wednesday, September 20, 2005, starting at 6:30pm PDT
Where: Borders Bookstore in Palo Alto on University Drive
We will be hanging out on Wednesday evening, happy to chat to anyone who wants to drop by. We will also gladly give demos of FeedLo…
