00:00:56 ◼   ► that aspect of the washington we didn't talk about it last show I think it's [TS]

00:01:00 ◼   ► worth talking about [TS]

00:01:02 ◼   ► and the identity problem in general I the concept is that the thing that you [TS]

00:01:30 ◼   ► phone will have phones now and if we're gonna have some sort of device be [TS]

00:01:34 ◼   ► resource of identity it would've been the phones by now and wants people to [TS]

00:01:37 ◼   ► try to do that in various ways so this idea that maybe the maybe the phone is [TS]

00:01:43 ◼   ► too big or too expensive for the battery doesn't last long enough for you have to [TS]

00:01:46 ◼   ► take it out of your pocket or something else that this would be slightly more [TS]

00:01:49 ◼   ► accessible than to give us another crack at making this magical identity thing [TS]

00:01:52 ◼   ► where r identification is securely carried around this by this little [TS]

00:01:56 ◼   ► physical dongle when you sit down your computer the tax that you are you [TS]

00:02:00 ◼   ► because you're the one wearing the watch it on my phone lock your screen and [TS]

00:02:03 ◼   ► logged in [TS]

00:02:04 ◼   ► in when you walk into a room of plays the music that you like to put things on [TS]

00:02:08 ◼   ► your tab when you swipe it when you buy things at stores is the fantasy scenario [TS]

00:02:29 ◼   ► everything you own has to be created by the same company and purchased recently [TS]

00:02:32 ◼   ► because even if Apple roll this out it wouldn't work with all the past Apple [TS]

00:02:35 ◼   ► hardware probably would have to get new stuff for the very least you need to [TS]

00:02:39 ◼   ► update software so I think the scenario will continue to be a fantasy but while [TS]

00:02:45 ◼   ► nothing is actually announced this is the time to indulge in that fantasy I [TS]

00:02:48 ◼   ► suppose so this person basically just wants to enable the pictures on the wall [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► from the movie antitrust did you ever see that abomination I did not you [TS]

00:02:59 ◼   ► should it's Ryan Philippe philippi or whatever and Tim Robbins tim robbins [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► basically plays Bill Gates and Ryan Phillippe philippi whatever is a crack [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► programmer in so they go into quote-unquote Bill Gates house and as he [TS]

00:03:14 ◼   ► goes in between rooms like the the lights dimmed to a certain level and the [TS]

00:03:20 ◼   ► pictures on the wall which are all like LCD displays show different pictures I [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► think this was based on something that job supposedly had in his mansion job [TS]

00:03:29 ◼   ► said Gates had in his mansion but the theory being that this watch could kind [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► of an evil that it in other words it's always on you and just like he said it's [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► always personalized to you and I would like to lower power than a phone so I [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► guess it wouldn't charge is easily so right I don't really see this happening [TS]

00:03:46 ◼   ► in that way with watches I mean it rather I don't I don't see watches [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► changing anything you know i i think first of all one big problem with this [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► is that I think there's gonna be a lot more phones and watches out there and [TS]

00:04:02 ◼   ► you know my theory from last episode was that the watch would really just be a [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► phone accessory and wouldn't you know I don't know if I outright said it but I [TS]

00:04:14 ◼   ► but my theory here is that it wouldn't be anything but [TS]

00:04:17 ◼   ► it's like a Bluetooth headset with no device that it would just be in a [TS]

00:04:22 ◼   ► communicating over Bluetooth Low Energy and it would just be a peripheral to [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► your iPhone or maybe iPad and iPod Touch will be interesting but for all the [TS]

00:04:35 ◼   ► reasons why we don't yet have this magical automatic identity thing with [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► these devices I think all those same reasons are going to continue to make it [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► impossible for us to have that with watches also or rather impractical for [TS]

00:04:50 ◼   ► us to have that with watches all the same reasons apply you have weird [TS]

00:04:55 ◼   ► privacy and security issues you have a big boil the ocean problem you have a [TS]

00:05:02 ◼   ► lot of just weird [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► incompatibilities in reality because it wouldn't you know it reality it wouldn't [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► be one company making all these things that all work together you know you [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► would have you know what you have now you have Apple doing pretty well with [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► the iPhone but then you still have enjoyed used to have Windows Phone east [TS]

00:05:18 ◼   ► of all the things you have all the people who have iPhones a small portion [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► them have max but a lot more of them have Windows PCs and some of them have [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► iPads and some of them don't end so people who have maximum time Android [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► devices people who have iPads and Android phone there's there's there's a [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► giant diverse environment things have to work in these days and for something [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► like identity to work that well and to be that ubiquitous I think it would you [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► have to have one company so dominant in the field that it could make everything [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► for almost everybody and I don't think we're gonna have that for at least the [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► next decade and hopefully large were better off not having that you know this [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► is somewhat somewhat well something you said a moment ago [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► segue somewhat well to a post my friend Eric will endure wrote the post which [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► I'm pasting in chat let me kind of take you on a little mental journey so we [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► talked to last episode about you know what is the thing that I was that this I [TS]

00:06:21 ◼   ► watches solving and also [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► you know what's the challenge of it in the challenges that there's really not a [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► whole lot of input that can go into this and also not a lot of output that you [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► can get from it and so you know what already fixes that in Eric pointed out [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► well [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► Siri could be a good answer for that and I think part of the reason I'm bringing [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► this up is because I'm so excited at the thought of a dick tracey watch which I [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► joked about at the end of the last episode but the thought being hey you [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► know syria could solve a lot of these problems of an input-output for and I [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► watch and the other thing that occurred to me that I didn't bring up was a DQ [TS]

00:06:59 ◼   ► during the keynote at about an hour and 42 minutes said something about how hey [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► series gonna have a little more control over the things the phone can do in the [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► example he used I think was thing or things like brightness and one or two [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► other things maybe even Bluetooth which maybe wouldn't be relevant in terms and [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► i watch but I thought it was an interesting idea that perhaps some sort [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► of really syria-based integration could work well with the watch now on the [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► other side of the coin to argue with myself and with Eric I don't know if a [TS]

00:07:31 ◼   ► dick tracey watch as much as I G O can say I want it would be a really socially [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► acceptable thing I think they would be a little awkward if we all walked around [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► talking to our culture our risk but then again we all walk around staring down at [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► our crotches so I guess it can only be but so bad I guess my problem with so [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► much of this is is you know basically why don't we have this now what what's [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► stopping us from doing this with phones already because really it with when it [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► comes to things like capturing input and having sensors and everything [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► the phone already covers pretty much all of this area that there's not a whole [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► lot of ground that a phone in your pocket or bag or jacket doesn't really [TS]

00:08:09 ◼   ► cover their end and there are you know some certainly the some things are [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► things like biometric information [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► pedometers style things you know those things that the phone either doesn't [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► reliably have or [TS]

00:08:20 ◼   ► or or just can't get practically but unless you know press against your naked [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► late all the time when I'm sure somebody does a lot of people behind for most of [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► these things that we think of as oh it will allow us to do X Y and Z almost all [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► of them you could do with a phone and we aren't doing with phones and I think [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► it's worth asking why and and looking at it with some healthy skepticism of well [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► if this isn't working with phones are for not doing the set with phones [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► there's probably a really good reason for that and it's probably not going to [TS]

00:08:55 ◼   ► change if we have a microphone or some sensors or any ink screen or anything [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► else [TS]

00:09:00 ◼   ► stuck to our wrist instead of in our pockets a serious thing is weird though [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► because I don't see how it could ever provide experiences this even as good as [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► it is on the phone because it never have to communicate with the phone to do the [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► serious thing so it would be like using surrender from which already is not [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► snappy only delayed by one more hot because it's not the phone is gonna talk [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► to the series service itself it's not gonna have you know 3G wireless gonna be [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► talking to the phone phones gonna be talking to syria service and then you [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► know little game of relay back and forth and it has all the same problems as [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► serious you know say something hopefully weight as you stare at it and wait to [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► see how an interpreter misinterpreted what you said and wait for an answer it [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► is not day a snappy experience even ignoring like the whole how do you feel [TS]

00:09:44 ◼   ► about talking to yourself [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► type of thing I do not see people are you serious game when you're conversing [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► with it and then use it for a very focused tasks rarely and I don't see [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► them maybe they feel like they need to do it in private but people tell me I [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► used to set reminders are used it to answer text messages when I'm in the car [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► whatever those are all times when they're not with somebody your friends [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► are secretly using Siri when you aren't around because they you know people feel [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► more comfortable talking to their thing using speech recognition 1010 me when I [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► do speech recognition to like read my articles with a dictation it's more [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► comfortable that when no one is in the room hearing you say fragments of [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► sentences issue voice commands [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► no oh yeah I know I would definitely say also that you know whenever I have to [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► use Syrian public III will usually try to use it as quietly as possible and [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► often I will do the thing where I pick up the phone and put it to my ear [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► because most people to know that also trigger Siri with the project up the [TS]

00:10:42 ◼   ► proximity sensor and you can just talk into it like a so it looks almost like [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► you're talking to someone on the phone while you're giving a commander [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► secretary and a very stern voice your by restaurants remind me to tell my wife I [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► love her when I get home anyway so I mean is there anything really knew that [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► we think about the watch now I mean one thing we initially article also by [TS]

00:11:14 ◼   ► response I gotta put this in in the notes that lost it but somebody [TS]

00:11:19 ◼   ► basically outlined what Bluetooth Low Energy does and and what what makes [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► possible and and white so much better and in the context in response to our [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► percent last week in the context of the of the iWatch and I hope it's I hope [TS]

00:11:35 ◼   ► it's not called that because it the name is already starting to sound stupid in [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► my head and it probably means all those trademark application and i thought i [TS]

00:11:43 ◼   ► published it too and MacBook terrible so I really do hope that that if this [TS]

00:11:51 ◼   ► exists it's either a very small scale thing at first like the Apple TV now [TS]

00:11:57 ◼   ► which is like you know everyone's so excited about something for TV and they [TS]

00:12:01 ◼   ► release the Apple TV as we know it today which is like okay it's nice but it's a [TS]

00:12:05 ◼   ► pretty small scale problem-solver and and so if they would make a watch it [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► could be that right it could just be doing things that are very similar to [TS]

00:12:15 ◼   ► what the people on the other things like that do now which is basically show [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► notifications on the watch and and maybe having some minor sensors like a like a [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► fit better FuelBand equivalent but not doing a whole lot else not having a [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► microphone for Siri you know maybe maybe they had those things later on but just [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► starting out with a nice simple problem said they can do really well with all [TS]

00:12:36 ◼   ► the existing hardware [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► and have great battery life and not be as giant bulky thing on your wrist not [TS]

00:12:42 ◼   ► look ugly not look like a loner convention happening on your wrist and [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► and just do that really well I hope that's what they do because i dont you [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► looking at everything else all the things they could possibly that would be [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► all these crazy transformative ideas it seems like for a lot of them they have [TS]

00:12:59 ◼   ► extremely bad old practical or technological restrictions that would [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► really prevent them from being good yeah I think about the i watch the more I [TS]

00:13:08 ◼   ► keep coming back to I feel like the only way it's going to be really in trying [TS]

00:13:13 ◼   ► and I still think the only way it's gonna be really interesting is if it [TS]

00:13:16 ◼   ► aggregates sensors in a new and clever way let me give you a couple examples in [TS]

00:13:20 ◼   ► the original iPhone as opposed to having hit to hit a button to rotate the screen [TS]

00:13:25 ◼   ► from portrait to landscape it added an accelerometer in order to do that [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► automatically in order to prevent sheik dialing somebody or cheek hanging up on [TS]

00:13:36 ◼   ► someone had a proximity sensor in order to turn off the display and turn off the [TS]

00:13:41 ◼   ► touch input when the thing is up against your head and maybe that's not [TS]

00:13:45 ◼   ► aggregation strictest sense but I feel like taking sensors that we have today [TS]

00:13:49 ◼   ► like a Fitbit or something like it and taking either new sensors are the [TS]

00:13:53 ◼   ► existing sensors in and putting that data together in a new and interesting [TS]

00:13:56 ◼   ► way that's what I feel like an iWatch would do that with differentiated but [TS]

00:14:01 ◼   ► how specifically I don't have the faintest idea that Samsung would do it i [TS]

00:14:05 ◼   ► watch copy they would make it so that when you used the same site iPad equip [TS]

00:14:11 ◼   ► them whenever that is [TS]

00:14:13 ◼   ► you can wave your hand in front of it without actually contacting the screen [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► to do gestures because it would have to be there to do things sort of like that [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► with a single device but once you have two of them yet to sort of start [TS]

00:14:24 ◼   ► thinking like Nintendo ok 12 cents on my wrist and the screen over here and if I [TS]

00:14:29 ◼   ► wave my hand this is you know that the sensor can recognize my jesters without [TS]

00:14:34 ◼   ► me physically interacting with the other device and use it you know that type of [TS]

00:14:37 ◼   ► thing I assume Apple would pass on most things like that because non-contact you [TS]

00:14:43 ◼   ► eyes are not particularly [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► nice feeling but guaranteed Samsung would do it just because it's possible [TS]

00:14:49 ◼   ► they seem to try everything is technically possible at Rideout shipping [TS]

00:14:53 ◼   ► on divisive people like me to do you know when he launched but it was the [TS]

00:14:58 ◼   ► most recent one the s3 as far but whatever it so whatever the most recent [TS]

00:15:03 ◼   ► one was a member of the end and it had the cover featured had the tilt [TS]

00:15:07 ◼   ► scrolling and all those all these crazy things get the eyeball tracking to see [TS]

00:15:10 ◼   ► when you're looking at the video like you know if we can do it if it does [TS]

00:15:14 ◼   ► anybody I mean we heard a lot about those when it was launched I haven't [TS]

00:15:18 ◼   ► heard a thing about them or actually have to be awful because like it if they [TS]

00:15:22 ◼   ► were if they had many of them had passed the threshold into being so reliable [TS]

00:15:27 ◼   ► that they really useful they were quickly spread elsewhere but if you [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► don't see them everywhere else it means that the technology does not quite ready [TS]

00:15:34 ◼   ► so the eyeball thing like if that was reliable enough that it felt better than [TS]

00:15:39 ◼   ► actually having a play pause button would be everywhere but it's not because [TS]

00:15:42 ◼   ► it's not that reliable yeah well let's go to things that are reliable talk [TS]

00:42:47 ◼   ► Dropbox exist as a popular in the reason we are interested in their Davis or at [TS]

00:42:51 ◼   ► least Im interested in this story prize because it's from Dropbox people already [TS]

00:42:55 ◼   ► have Dropbox accounts already paid for Dropbox many applications already [TS]

00:43:03 ◼   ► integrated with Dropbox using existing API for file storage so that's an [TS]

00:43:08 ◼   ► advantage that many many other things they're supposedly gonna start your crap [TS]

00:43:12 ◼   ► do not have right even you know even Google made Google com oversight ball [TS]

00:43:17 ◼   ► right but then how many applications already integrated with Google data [TS]

00:43:21 ◼   ► stores like it's a it's a bigger hurdle overcome his Dropbox like you're already [TS]

00:43:24 ◼   ► there you're absurd already talking to it this is basically the equivalent of [TS]

00:43:28 ◼   ► instead of just documents doc iCloud storage it's like their equivalents kind [TS]

00:43:34 ◼   ► of sort of not really cordis think we're here hope you're not just storing files [TS]

00:43:41 ◼   ► your story something that's not just a linear stream of bytes in a single named [TS]

00:43:46 ◼   ► entity right that's where the similarity and scored eight assists holder [TS]

00:43:50 ◼   ► percent objects tour thing and this is much simpler this is you know basically [TS]

00:43:55 ◼   ► scandalous fields with and basically tables so table and his records records [TS]

00:44:02 ◼   ► of an idea that mean value pairs and you can do one small level nesting [TS]

00:44:06 ◼   ► underneath that and that's it i I look at these things i think is interesting [TS]

00:44:10 ◼   ► to see how are they going to offer like they're definitely not going the core [TS]

00:44:15 ◼   ► data room where they say just use your objects in memory and will magically [TS]

00:44:18 ◼   ► synchronize them and it with the persistent across all these applications [TS]

00:44:22 ◼   ► and you can just the rest your application just behave as if memory [TS]

00:44:25 ◼   ► make everything work it's not quite doing you can just you know sort of [TS]

00:44:31 ◼   ► speak to a database over a wire and will do updates as I guess every resident [TS]

00:44:36 ◼   ► databases [TS]

00:44:36 ◼   ► between they want you to be able to store records in this thing and get [TS]

00:44:42 ◼   ► notified when there are changes to the Reds his records and but they don't want [TS]

00:44:47 ◼   ► you to have to implement your own conflict resolution this is where the [TS]

00:44:50 ◼   ► rubber meets the road like what if I do different things at different price of [TS]

00:44:53 ◼   ► the line they come back to changes what do I do to sort things out and looking [TS]

00:44:59 ◼   ► at their documentation briefly it seems like your choices are minimal all the [TS]

00:45:03 ◼   ► conflict resolution seems to be automatic choices like biggest and [TS]

00:45:07 ◼   ► smallest value wins some of value wins and that's about it doesn't help me if [TS]

00:45:12 ◼   ► I'm trying to synchronizing address book you know those policies seem like it [TS]

00:45:15 ◼   ► would be helpful [TS]

00:45:16 ◼   ► local versus for most wins I didn't even seem to be any date stamping type things [TS]

00:45:22 ◼   ► in there you could tell which one happened at a different time [TS]

00:45:24 ◼   ► synchronization and complication that so I'm not sure what target audience this [TS]

00:45:28 ◼   ► thing is but like any kind of service they're real proof is going to be [TS]

00:45:33 ◼   ► reliable is it fast and is it easy to program for in a way that doesn't block [TS]

00:45:38 ◼   ► my application when you know the change don't come in and in that respect it [TS]

00:45:43 ◼   ► looks like it has some advantages over iCloud coordinator wade existed in that [TS]

00:45:48 ◼   ► you don't you don't need to be online for changes to take effect locally and [TS]

00:45:53 ◼   ► remote changes can come in whenever they want so you shouldn't be blocking as [TS]

00:45:57 ◼   ► long as you can write your local disk and even read from your local disk so [TS]

00:46:00 ◼   ► that's good yeah there were i I also looked at the API in the documentation [TS]

00:46:05 ◼   ► and there are a couple of things that that piqued my interest [TS]

00:46:09 ◼   ► firstly in this is outside of the documentation quite obviously dropbox is [TS]

00:46:14 ◼   ► cross platform and let's suppose for the sake of argument that even core data and [TS]

00:46:19 ◼   ► iCloud worked flawlessly which is a pretty funny thought just to begin with [TS]

00:46:23 ◼   ► well it's still Apple centric and even though I speak for all three of us and [TS]

00:46:29 ◼   ► saying we're all in on Apple platforms not everyone is like that we talked [TS]

00:46:33 ◼   ► about that earlier in this very episode and so dropbox is cross platform which [TS]

00:46:37 ◼   ► is really nice so if I was psychotic enough to want to write not only an iOS [TS]

00:46:42 ◼   ► app on Android app I could presumably use this Dropbox did a story epi in [TS]

00:46:47 ◼   ► order to get data between them [TS]

00:46:49 ◼   ► additionally like you mentioned John it's not Street sequel and while core [TS]

00:46:54 ◼   ► data you'll get smacked on the rest if you call it [TS]

00:46:58 ◼   ► database it isn't a database just like you said some object persistence or [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► object graph persistence mechanism in the generally speaking behind the scenes [TS]

00:47:07 ◼   ► its sequel lighters SQLite or whatever crap its must be pronounced as well as [TS]

00:47:12 ◼   ► this like you said John is his own little more flexible than that which is [TS]

00:47:16 ◼   ► nice [TS]

00:47:16 ◼   ► obviously there's lots to that and that could be bad but generally speaking it's [TS]

00:47:20 ◼   ► nice but the other thing that was really interesting is they have a datastore web [TS]

00:47:25 ◼   ► inspector and I glanced at it very very quickly and it appears that even regular [TS]

00:47:32 ◼   ► people not even necessarily developers can go in and inspect the datasource [TS]

00:47:37 ◼   ► stores associated with their Dropbox account and I think that's both very [TS]

00:47:41 ◼   ► good and arguably maybe not so good because it allows developers to go in [TS]

00:47:47 ◼   ► and see exactly what tables and records and things are stored in their own [TS]

00:47:51 ◼   ► Dropbox but that also gives some amount of visibility for user now it is read [TS]

00:47:56 ◼   ► only through through this web interface but it's still more visibility then you [TS]

00:48:02 ◼   ► may want now to argue with myself briefly maybe that's a good thing after [TS]

00:48:07 ◼   ► all in the sense that if somebody storing a bunch of data that I don't [TS]

00:48:10 ◼   ► want them to store I could go see that and then remove that out but I don't [TS]

00:48:14 ◼   ► know it just freaks me out for the idea of users seen exactly how on persisting [TS]

00:48:19 ◼   ► data well that's good because then you could shame people who start plaintext [TS]

00:48:22 ◼   ► passwords and stuff you know go and see it as they can see your story my whole [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► address book or hey this is my plain text whatever service never know but [TS]

00:48:31 ◼   ► it's interesting I reason to put that Lincoln [TS]

00:48:33 ◼   ► in the show notes that is interesting that they launched with that of course [TS]

00:48:38 ◼   ► of course is going to be web interface to see how do you develop an application [TS]

00:48:42 ◼   ► if you don't have visibility into what we're doing the datastore and their and [TS]

00:48:45 ◼   ► their Davis stories so much simpler like it is it is just very simple and [TS]

00:48:49 ◼   ► primitive compared to the amazing record is supposed to be doing for you mike is [TS]

00:48:54 ◼   ► up to you to figure out [TS]

00:48:56 ◼   ► no schema name value pairs lists you know you're gonna get notification is [TS]

00:48:59 ◼   ► something change will give you a list of record ideas you figured out on a [TS]

00:49:02 ◼   ► whatever like it's really primitive and things are kind of annoying to dinner [TS]

00:49:07 ◼   ► yet to write all your own logic to deal with these you know the updates and [TS]

00:49:11 ◼   ► stuff but it's easy for developers to understand in time and again but proved [TS]

00:49:16 ◼   ► to be much more important than the amazing framework especially doesn't [TS]

00:49:18 ◼   ► work right the amazing framework is awesome thanks to you versus the simple [TS]

00:49:21 ◼   ► one that doesn't do as much for you but what it does do is easily understandable [TS]

00:49:24 ◼   ► any developer and that gives even like a novice or mediocre developer fighting [TS]

00:49:29 ◼   ► chance of using your API to do useful work because maybe the using [TS]

00:49:32 ◼   ► inefficiently maybe they have the right kind of called themselves but [TS]

00:49:35 ◼   ► conceptually the way it works is like you know it is simple enough they can [TS]

00:49:39 ◼   ► wrap your head around it so they never get themselves into a situation where [TS]

00:49:42 ◼   ► they have no idea what's going on they just perhaps make an efficient code so [TS]

00:49:46 ◼   ► you know her but look at their performance and and how reliable the [TS]

00:49:52 ◼   ► services and stuff like that but I think they have a big layup and everyone else [TS]

00:49:56 ◼   ► in movies are already all have Dropbox accounts I am I think the first five [TS]

00:49:59 ◼   ► megabytes per application that use does not count towards your Dropbox quota so [TS]

00:50:03 ◼   ► we just want to use the Starlight preferences or small knots estate [TS]

00:50:06 ◼   ► information are you using this data storage that doesn't count towards a [TS]

00:50:14 ◼   ► drop box code enforcement you go over that then you start using the person's [TS]

00:50:16 ◼   ► drop a quarter which is great for Dropbox because then eventually if [TS]

00:50:19 ◼   ► you're free user limit because using application customer and so virtuous [TS]

00:50:24 ◼   ► cycle so I'm cautiously optimistic about this now what are the implications for [TS]

00:50:29 ◼   ► Apple because one could argue that this season iCloud but according to iCloud [TS]

00:50:36 ◼   ► but not done by Apple and hopefully actually functional [TS]

00:50:39 ◼   ► so does this light a fire under Apple's keister and make them make court date on [TS]

00:50:43 ◼   ► iCloud actually work or do you think they don't care they don't care i mean [TS]

00:50:47 ◼   ► there are people there who do care obviously and people who were on that [TS]

00:50:52 ◼   ► team obviously do care quite a bit and are working their butts off I assume [TS]

00:50:55 ◼   ► however you can simply look at what Apple does look at the results you can [TS]

00:51:00 ◼   ► tell that iCloud is really seen as an accessory and the company and especially [TS]

00:51:04 ◼   ► the iCloud developer API is the same KPI's and stuff that Apple themselves [TS]

00:51:11 ◼   ► barely uses for their own apps you can look at that stuff and you can very much [TS]

00:51:15 ◼   ► see this is like this is not a very high priority for the company again you know [TS]

00:51:21 ◼   ► so I'm sure it's a very happy for people working on it but you can tell that it's [TS]

00:51:25 ◼   ► not getting the resources it needs a second priority it needs because look at [TS]

00:51:30 ◼   ► the last year not much has really changed and the WWDC keynote didn't have [TS]

00:51:35 ◼   ► a section of the keynote we can talk about whether they said what their [TS]

00:51:39 ◼   ► policy about iCloud cordero was going forward that was not in the keynote baby [TS]

00:51:44 ◼   ► was in the state of the union member well they they mentioned in the state of [TS]

00:51:47 ◼   ► the union but we can talk about but I believe it's safe to say that they [TS]

00:51:51 ◼   ► basically said like give us another shot in as many words but I I just don't see [TS]

00:51:59 ◼   ► any we we see this with almost all of Apple's online services especially the [TS]

00:52:03 ◼   ► ones that Apple themselves doesn't really rely on very much we see that [TS]

00:52:09 ◼   ► they just don't really put that much effort into them [TS]

00:52:12 ◼   ► well you know even ones that are ostensibly flagship features like [TS]

00:52:17 ◼   ► messages like that's that's apples applications and important that by [TS]

00:52:21 ◼   ► application it obviously got attention because it was messy redesign it still [TS]

00:52:24 ◼   ► doesn't perform its basic functions in every level matters even when Apple is [TS]

00:52:28 ◼   ► totally using like nothing that you like or don't know what he uses but the point [TS]

00:52:31 ◼   ► is that it uses an online service that Apple informants and it is a flagship [TS]

00:52:36 ◼   ► application and it is the stores work so that's their them using it is not a [TS]

00:52:41 ◼   ► guarantee that their online services worker but it certainly helps but it [TS]

00:52:45 ◼   ► just seems like you know Apple still has a lot of that tunnel vision [TS]

00:52:50 ◼   ► that they are infamous for wear something gets a whole lot of attention [TS]

00:52:54 ◼   ► but then everything outside of the immediately obvious first interesting [TS]

00:52:59 ◼   ► thing that they're working on it gets pretty neglected for a while and you [TS]

00:53:05 ◼   ► know it's it's still a sign of of Apple being a smaller company then there than [TS]

00:53:11 ◼   ► their success and their money and their their sales and their presence would [TS]

00:53:16 ◼   ► indicate that they still are very small company was very small teams relative to [TS]

00:53:20 ◼   ► all the stuff they do and so how they prioritize their resources it still is [TS]

00:53:26 ◼   ► very much a a zero sum game with them like they don't just had a brand new [TS]

00:53:33 ◼   ► team to address brand new things are doing [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► move people around and be paradise other things to prioritize certain things like [TS]

00:53:41 ◼   ► they don't just like by more people out of nowhere and they have the street [TS]

00:53:45 ◼   ► department all the sudden and you know we've talked in the past about how [TS]

00:53:49 ◼   ► Google is so good at just applying way more brute force engineering to problems [TS]

00:53:55 ◼   ► than Apple usually does especially the services area and I just don't see any [TS]

00:54:00 ◼   ► evidence of Apple changing that anytime soon so anything like this that is [TS]

00:54:05 ◼   ► basically a major online service that's really tricky to get right and has lots [TS]

00:54:10 ◼   ► of substantial designed tricks technical challenges and and service challenges [TS]

00:54:17 ◼   ► and big data challenges I don't see Apple ever doing well as a Apple making [TS]

00:54:22 ◼   ► life harder here by Dropbox has chosen to make it simpler AP I like it it does [TS]

00:54:29 ◼   ► less stuff for you in this just simply write much simpler than I got caught in [TS]

00:54:33 ◼   ► a far far simpler right so that gives them a fighting chance of getting it to [TS]

00:54:37 ◼   ► work correctly having a small API to developers can pick up and it's like a [TS]

00:54:40 ◼   ► philosophical difference between the team that is responsible for doing these [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► kind of services for Apple philosophically apartment like look they [TS]

00:54:48 ◼   ► already had carded a people already have court in applications where you gonna [TS]

00:54:51 ◼   ► say to those people [TS]

00:54:52 ◼   ► hey we want your applications to work with iCloud but core data doesn't work [TS]

00:54:56 ◼   ► with iCloud so rewrite your thing to use something more like the Dropbox Inc API [TS]

00:55:00 ◼   ► like that would have been [TS]

00:55:01 ◼   ► a tough sell back when you know I clog court it was introduced by Russell [TS]

00:55:05 ◼   ► excited but I have a court application and they tell me more like I don't think [TS]

00:55:11 ◼   ► if you told them okay well you don't have to throw out or did it and use this [TS]

00:55:15 ◼   ► new API that totally unlike korda much simpler you have to do a lot more coding [TS]

00:55:19 ◼   ► to get it to work but trust us that the telephone companies know you're a price [TS]

00:55:25 ◼   ► have to be small simple and semantically you know easy to understand because [TS]

00:55:30 ◼   ► that's that's the way to do it you if you try to make something big and [TS]

00:55:33 ◼   ► complicated your API is gonna be big and complicated on on the client side and [TS]

00:55:36 ◼   ► service going to be really hard to implement and efficient manner in scale [TS]

00:55:39 ◼   ► and all those other things so don't do that but Apple is so far [TS]

00:55:42 ◼   ► sticking to their guns and seeing where they do have key-value store in like [TS]

00:55:46 ◼   ► they could enhance key-value store over the course of a year to make we make it [TS]

00:55:49 ◼   ► matches Dropbox API and remove all their stories limits could tell you stories [TS]

00:55:53 ◼   ► really just return the data and they would have it the equivalent of this and [TS]

00:55:57 ◼   ► by all accounts key-value store doesn't work products is simpler to do less stop [TS]

00:56:00 ◼   ► for it but they know we want to we want to make it work magically over the [TS]

00:56:06 ◼   ► internet and it's a big complicated AP I would like to court cases both on the [TS]

00:56:09 ◼   ► client and the server and if anything goes wrong bad things happen and we need [TS]

00:56:13 ◼   ► more debugging tools and it really hard problem and the size of the teams to the [TS]

00:56:17 ◼   ► Dropbox date API is probably like one tenth of the people who are trying to do [TS]

00:56:22 ◼   ► the core data thing and yet they'll probably do more successful because they [TS]

00:56:25 ◼   ► chose it as something simpler now they the only thing that I wonder if I didn't [TS]

00:56:31 ◼   ► see specifically noted in the API documentation is it what about sharing [TS]

00:56:35 ◼   ► so I keep coming back to my example of sharing a grocery list with my wife and [TS]

00:56:40 ◼   ► it seems like the this Dropbox datastore epi would be perfect for it except that [TS]

00:56:46 ◼   ► I didn't see any mention of sharing but maybe I'm mister Johnson yup notice [TS]

00:56:49 ◼   ► anything I think it's kind of like just a datastore for your application right [TS]

00:56:55 ◼   ► it shared tonight user on multiple devices but not really great service [TS]

00:57:00 ◼   ► that you know well there is there is a JavaScript API as well and I i haven't [TS]

00:57:07 ◼   ► verified this happened I would assume you could use that like maybe from Notre [TS]

00:57:12 ◼   ► or the other server-side JavaScript [TS]

00:57:14 ◼   ► interpreters so you could probably run this server side with job with their [TS]

00:57:20 ◼   ► terms that you still need to like authenticate as you to get a datastore [TS]

00:57:26 ◼   ► so if I authenticate is me and my cassini cases downstairs I guess you [TS]

00:57:30 ◼   ► could come in on some of the service then write like if you are on your own [TS]

00:57:34 ◼   ► web service that that used this I would imagine you could you can whip that up [TS]

00:57:39 ◼   ► you know you could just have have a few pages that they do that you know about [TS]

00:57:43 ◼   ► the authentication for you and and you authenticate your own people who's who's [TS]

00:57:49 ◼   ► gonna see what although if you go through all that you might as well just [TS]

00:57:52 ◼   ► have your own sync service on your server yeah I mean that's what it sounds [TS]

00:57:55 ◼   ► like it but since they have sharing for their file AP I i mean this is this is [TS]

00:58:00 ◼   ► like their version one right so maybe the next version they add you know [TS]

00:58:04 ◼   ► obviously they know about sharing the to have some means for you take the same [TS]

00:58:08 ◼   ► file and shared amongst many people and revoke sharing and and all that other [TS]

00:58:11 ◼   ► stuff it seems like that would have to come for these days or so they haven't [TS]

00:58:15 ◼   ► checked out in like you have a datastore datastore have tables tables have [TS]

00:58:18 ◼   ► records they could do the sharing it probably the datastore table level and [TS]

00:58:24 ◼   ► it wouldn't be crazy but maybe not [TS]

00:58:26 ◼   ► yeah I doubt it but I give this two thumbs up I think this is definitely [TS]

00:58:34 ◼   ► well tentative two thumbs up I think this is definitely a good start if it [TS]

00:58:38 ◼   ► actually works I think it's a very simple yet at the same time with you [TS]

00:58:42 ◼   ► were saying John kind of robust way of syncing data that's a very low cost of [TS]

00:58:47 ◼   ► entry both financially and in terms of effort and so I think this is really [TS]

00:58:51 ◼   ► cool and although I'm not sure I disagree with you guys in that Apple [TS]

00:58:56 ◼   ► won't care about this [TS]

00:58:58 ◼   ► it also makes me wonder especially if adoption is really high [TS]

00:59:04 ◼   ► well but I I hope in and I wonder that if adoption of this Dropbox datastore [TS]

00:59:08 ◼   ► epi is really high if Apple start to pay attention and really do something about [TS]

00:59:13 ◼   ► iCloud and and iCloud in CoreData I should also say that I I know that there [TS]

00:59:18 ◼   ► was a session or two about iCloud in CoreData at WTC but I've not yet watched [TS]

00:59:23 ◼   ► them so I don't know [TS]

00:59:24 ◼   ► know if that was just Apple groveling I don't know if perhaps I was seven [TS]

00:59:28 ◼   ► there's going to be massive improvements I truly honestly don't know but those of [TS]

00:59:32 ◼   ► you who do have a developer account should go check it out and I should take [TS]

00:59:35 ◼   ► my own advice on that issue I've seen those sessions and there is news to be [TS]

00:59:39 ◼   ► had there interesting thing you didn't mention to tie back to top shows what a [TS]

00:59:46 ◼   ► news reader decide to use Dropbox datastore as its sync service obviously [TS]

00:59:51 ◼   ► you can use it to get your feeds for you and give you your content but just [TS]

00:59:54 ◼   ► keeping track of which things you read and haven't read seems like a fairly [TS]

00:59:58 ◼   ► ideal you know so you don't wanna make someone sign up for your own service you [TS]

01:00:02 ◼   ► want to use the account that they already have that they pay for you don't [TS]

01:00:04 ◼   ► have to run the servers you just have to store some state information about last [TS]

01:00:07 ◼   ► red state and articles of marked read and favorited a referendum edited you [TS]

01:00:12 ◼   ► want to keep its basically you know you make up the data story that you want you [TS]

01:00:16 ◼   ► still might need to service to federal your feeds into all that stuff but that [TS]

01:00:20 ◼   ► this other part of it for synchronizing which things are red and even just [TS]

01:00:25 ◼   ► having the applications themselves that's the future I know thats torturous [TS]

01:00:28 ◼   ► but in the old days that's what things you should do it how about town using [TS]

01:00:30 ◼   ► the newswire now it's possible this is this could be a piece of people you know [TS]

01:00:36 ◼   ► reading it be I need anything more than that what if you mix that with this new [TS]

01:00:43 ◼   ► background and stuff where it could be a nice combination I agree with what I [TS]

01:00:48 ◼   ► think about the same Marco and that I don't know if that's really sustainable [TS]

01:00:51 ◼   ► but it's a very interesting approach I might my big thing with it is that if [TS]

01:00:58 ◼   ► your gonna run if your gonna be having like feed singing and stuff like that [TS]

01:01:01 ◼   ► there's a lot of advantages to running your own service for to do that there's [TS]

01:01:06 ◼   ► there's only things you can do in the background when the app isn't running [TS]

01:01:09 ◼   ► but you can also won the biggest industries in particular is parsing them [TS]

01:01:14 ◼   ► and and you running into people's weird malformed feeds like it you know if you [TS]

01:01:19 ◼   ► can if you can adjust your partners on the server side immediately and have [TS]

01:01:22 ◼   ► that apply to everything for everyone immediately instead of having to like [TS]

01:01:26 ◼   ► unto them into an app update and ship the updater have some kind of weird [TS]

01:01:30 ◼   ► system you have like server-side definitions of what the Apple interpret [TS]

01:01:33 ◼   ► and then you have [TS]

01:01:34 ◼   ► to add new things it can do to accommodate some reason you feat [TS]

01:01:38 ◼   ► condition there there certainly are a lot of reasons but readers in particular [TS]

01:01:42 ◼   ► 22 still have a service plus now we have like 15000 reader services and that's [TS]

01:01:48 ◼   ► what I was thinking of is to say you make a reader at and you want to let [TS]

01:01:51 ◼   ► people pick from the umpteen other reader services that are gonna do this [TS]

01:01:54 ◼   ► feat parsing for you that right but you also want to add value in your [TS]

01:01:58 ◼   ► application you and you also want so you have awesome ideas for features but [TS]

01:02:02 ◼   ► three out of the four things that you support for you know Iration during [TS]

01:02:07 ◼   ► don't support the speeches you need some layer on top of that to add your own you [TS]

01:02:11 ◼   ► know [TS]

01:02:12 ◼   ► enhancements so I may be one of them you know three and four don't support like [TS]

01:02:16 ◼   ► favoriting or something like that [TS]

01:02:17 ◼   ► well you can store information about your favorites where do you want to run [TS]

01:02:20 ◼   ► a full service now you could but if it's simple enough you could just use Dropbox [TS]

01:02:23 ◼   ► has your back and you know Dropbox iCloud or two possible options like a [TS]

01:02:27 ◼   ► value story I wrote about how much do you have to enhance that the back and [TS]

01:02:31 ◼   ► otherwise you're forced to do with the lowest common denominator of all your [TS]

01:02:36 ◼   ► services so one of the folders or something like well I guess I can't [TS]

01:02:40 ◼   ► support for older kids where would I could track my fault as well keep track [TS]

01:02:43 ◼   ► of locally but then synchronize [TS]

01:02:44 ◼   ► just synchronizes on iOS devices I club but i wanna have a web version blah blah [TS]

01:02:48 ◼   ► blah well there's the Dropbox data so that's what I'm thinking like an [TS]

01:02:51 ◼   ► enhancement layer so that your application can be better than the [TS]

01:02:55 ◼   ► umpteen services it supports maybe but then they also has a problem with a [TS]

01:03:00 ◼   ► particular there's the problem then of like you only get that benefit if you [TS]

01:03:05 ◼   ► use that application on all your devices that you browse feeds from and so you [TS]

01:03:10 ◼   ► only get like it if not newswire adds features that only work in that newswire [TS]

01:03:15 ◼   ► then you have to use net newswire on Mac and iPhone and iPad as you if you refuse [TS]

01:03:21 ◼   ► all those places to go but if you use feedback has your back and then you can [TS]

01:03:25 ◼   ► use any iOS device supports feedback and get you won't have those fancy features [TS]

01:03:29 ◼   ► but maybe you like a different reader better on the other platforms and [TS]

01:03:32 ◼   ► presumably you like it better you know for whatever reasons but you're not [TS]

01:03:35 ◼   ► tired you're not like nursing and then you're not actually tied to the same [TS]

01:03:38 ◼   ► here every replicas [TS]

01:03:40 ◼   ► the basics lowest-common-denominator sinks everywhere because everyone the [TS]

01:03:43 ◼   ► news feeds Feedburner every year [TS]

01:03:45 ◼   ► your third party service and the basics are not on particular platform you have [TS]

01:03:49 ◼   ► enhancements and if they do a good enough job with their clients maybe you [TS]

01:03:52 ◼   ► want to use those enhancements platforms like you know like basically you're [TS]

01:03:57 ◼   ► saying all have different readers into a platform that means that either the [TS]

01:04:00 ◼   ► reader is unavailable for the platforms or water may be ahead different feature [TS]

01:04:03 ◼   ► desire someone from a different Peter desires then you don't care that those [TS]

01:04:08 ◼   ► enhancements that using your Mac dark elsewhere but if you do care about these [TS]

01:04:11 ◼   ► awesome features in the not quite what you want to use the iOS version of us so [TS]

01:04:15 ◼   ► you know nothing is nothing is going to give you everything you want which is [TS]

01:04:20 ◼   ► don't give me lowest-common-denominator features give me my choice of readers [TS]

01:04:23 ◼   ► every single platform synchronize everything between them that's never [TS]

01:04:26 ◼   ► gonna happen because it's just not it's like it's not a solvable problem so you [TS]

01:04:31 ◼   ► have to pick and choose I think this this type of solution where you use a [TS]

01:04:35 ◼   ► common back and furloughs come down a fraction howdy and then individual [TS]

01:04:38 ◼   ► applications are free to enhance the front and using some other service [TS]

01:04:41 ◼   ► that's that's pretty close to two ideal you know I guess that it causes weird [TS]

01:04:49 ◼   ► issues in other ways though like for instance let's say it was shipped [TS]

01:04:54 ◼   ► newswire and uses you know feat band or feed Wrangler or any other services or [TS]

01:05:01 ◼   ► it can use them and then you're saying where it uses some other back and [TS]

01:05:05 ◼   ► whether it's their own a Dropbox whatever to add bigger things to it and [TS]

01:05:10 ◼   ► then let's say feed been freed Wrangler add to their own services that [TS]

01:05:15 ◼   ► capability and another client sadly [TS]

01:05:18 ◼   ► newswire than a top that because then they're removing the competitive [TS]

01:05:22 ◼   ► advantage they have over other features its relations like that if people really [TS]

01:05:28 ◼   ► do this once we get real numbers though they'll be like look ok and its support [TS]

01:05:31 ◼   ► for these five back end but in reality ninety percent of users use these two [TS]

01:05:34 ◼   ► back and so right away I can eliminate those in the back and some having to [TS]

01:05:37 ◼   ► support them as kind of a pain as well as different backgrounds and other two [TS]

01:05:41 ◼   ► remaining features actually some of the stuff out including myself is available [TS]

01:05:44 ◼   ► in both of them I think mall developers would be happy to say oh great well the [TS]

01:05:47 ◼   ► two remaining ones I support have this feature so I can shift it off [TS]

01:05:50 ◼   ► onto them but there's always a tension between how much of the value of my [TS]

01:05:54 ◼   ► application is reliant on the value with third-party service that I don't control [TS]

01:05:57 ◼   ► and it's great that you can have different clients in the same [TS]

01:06:00 ◼   ► third-party service but you are just you know it [TS]

01:06:03 ◼   ► some respects at the at the mercy of that third party service like if they [TS]

01:06:07 ◼   ► take away a feature that you are relying on so it's good to have someplace to you [TS]

01:06:11 ◼   ► know either if they take away food you can shift it to your backend and if they [TS]

01:06:15 ◼   ► had a feature you can take it out of your back and if it is now part of the [TS]

01:06:19 ◼   ► new lowest-common-denominator you signed to support this is just an unhelpful [TS]

01:06:22 ◼   ► period now because people are supporting as much as they possibly can be done now [TS]

01:06:25 ◼   ► things are going to shake out but I have to think is going to be instead of seven [TS]

01:06:29 ◼   ► of them is gonna be like two or three popular ones left standing after a year [TS]

01:06:32 ◼   ► and I think actually already seen that shakeout happening now and then I I [TS]

01:06:36 ◼   ► published my numbers earlier today from what from what I can get it seems like [TS]

01:06:41 ◼   ► feedly is by far the most popular alternative mostly because it's free and [TS]

01:06:46 ◼   ► I believe it when the only 13 New Glarus second I i think is free but that has [TS]

01:06:52 ◼   ► premium features that you can optionally by end users been around forever it's [TS]

01:06:58 ◼   ► been around a long are believed it was four years it's been way longer than the [TS]

01:07:02 ◼   ► other services have and then feed Wrangler and feed Ben are basically [TS]

01:07:08 ◼   ► neck-and-neck they're they're very similar in that they're both paid [TS]

01:07:12 ◼   ► services run by very small teams I believe they're both run by single [TS]

01:07:16 ◼   ► people and our people might have to anyway very small teams and and then [TS]

01:07:24 ◼   ► there's pretty much after that there's a pretty big drop-off like besides that [TS]

01:07:29 ◼   ► handful like there is literally my list is feebly news blur net newswire clients [TS]

01:07:35 ◼   ► not even using a service fee trailer and Friedman and everything else is is like [TS]

01:07:40 ◼   ► less than half of those dropped a drop off pretty quickly and so I think we're [TS]

01:07:44 ◼   ► already seeing that very few services are are showing up now that being said I [TS]

01:07:50 ◼   ► don't yet have numbers for dig reader or AOL and those are those are pretty I [TS]

01:07:55 ◼   ► i've heard a lot of mentioning those I don't know how they are but we will see [TS]

01:07:59 ◼   ► new entrance next year as well sure [TS]

01:08:03 ◼   ► haven't come out these are the guys who scrambled to get something ready was [TS]

01:08:07 ◼   ► going around and in general they tend to be small people about this some bigger [TS]

01:08:11 ◼   ► slower moving in today and during this field who knows when they can land [TS]

01:08:14 ◼   ► something that does this do if they do crazy things whole time and I would say [TS]

01:08:19 ◼   ► feedly is not likely it feeling is likely to burn out I think because they [TS]

01:08:26 ◼   ► they have a very large staff and their free and I assume their venture funded [TS]

01:08:32 ◼   ► as well as a result of all these things and generally companies that are on that [TS]

01:08:36 ◼   ► trajectory don't stand in for the long haul their chances are feeling is going [TS]

01:08:41 ◼   ► to either shut down or we're more likely get bought by somebody and possibly [TS]

01:08:48 ◼   ► dramatically change the service as a result you know a year or two later or [TS]

01:08:51 ◼   ► monetize it at some point in the decision is bound to be annoying right [TS]

01:08:56 ◼   ► so I I'm guessing feeling is gonna is going to explode quickly and then burn [TS]

01:09:00 ◼   ► out and then news blur feed Wrangler and feed Ben I think are all in it for the [TS]

01:09:06 ◼   ► long haul and we'll see what happens with that mean and I'm sure it's always [TS]

01:09:11 ◼   ► gonna be a free option from somebody that gets popular [TS]

01:09:14 ◼   ► thats feely RA weller dick I don't know I don't know it's gonna be like in the [TS]

01:09:19 ◼   ► year but I bet this March services that are run by individuals and have [TS]

01:09:22 ◼   ► sustainable business models will will last long time especially newport has [TS]

01:09:26 ◼   ► already been around for like four years so obviously like that's a stable [TS]

01:09:29 ◼   ► product right so we'll see I was pleased to see though that your subscriber [TS]

01:09:36 ◼   ► numbers didn't plum in by virtue of Google Reader going away and and I think [TS]

01:09:42 ◼   ► we all kind of figured that would be the case especially for for a site like [TS]

01:09:45 ◼   ► market or well I think that there was hope at the very least and from [TS]

01:09:51 ◼   ► archive.org which caters to nerds I think you perhaps are seeing [TS]

01:09:56 ◼   ► kind of outside of the normal case situation wearing you'll get a lot of [TS]

01:10:04 ◼   ► subscribers moving to other platforms because we're all nerds I'm curious to [TS]

01:10:09 ◼   ► hear for something more mainstream say like a CNN or something like that how [TS]

01:10:14 ◼   ► things change because that's not catering to nerds its catering to normal [TS]

01:10:19 ◼   ► humans you who may or may not care that's true that's not really true like [TS]

01:10:41 ◼   ► what our senses and it's not very regular to see to hear a regular person [TS]

01:10:45 ◼   ► talk about it I don't know I mean these numbers shirt big you know a guy I feel [TS]

01:10:52 ◼   ► like RSS is one of the things that I'm sure I'm sure it's much more talked [TS]

01:10:57 ◼   ► about and maybe more actively used by nerds and certainly of course is the [TS]

01:11:01 ◼   ► whole class of applications that are powered by powered by our site and that [TS]

01:11:06 ◼   ► that use it some other way to clipboard and those tend to do way better than [TS]

01:11:10 ◼   ► anything just use RSS kind of Broadway we use it but even if it's just nerves [TS]

01:11:17 ◼   ► there's a lot of nerves like I learned this I learned my apps like you know [TS]
