Feedly Revisited

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

A couple of folks sent me tweets or messages asking me to reconsider Feedly, because they had added a “cloud” feature, where you could use the service in a web browser, exactly as I had described in my post yesterday. So I am definitely going to check that out again and see how it fits with how I like to work with RSS. So my thanks to them for reaching out!

In the meantime, the Old Reader blog post has been updated with this little tidbit:

UPD: We have received a number of proposals that we are discussing right now. Chances are high that public The Old Reader will live after all

So I’m going to check out Feedly, and hold out some hope that Old Reader will stay public, and then simply choose the one that makes the most sense for me. Ahh I love having a choice! 😉

Any service, streaming video, audio, websites you visit, etc. is using the connection that has already been paid for and passed on to you. Taxing each individual service simply creates a situation where there is one connection using the infrastructure, being paid for over and over again and then being passed back to you over and over again.

“For example, hacking is much more prevalent now than it was even nine years ago,” he said. “Now, it seems unreasonable to think that a computer connected to the Web is immune from invasion.” As a result, Tor users “cannot reasonably expect” to be safe from hackers, he added.

Could Facebook Be Creating a Facial Recognition Tool to be Used by the Government

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

NPR has a story this morning talking about Facebook’s facial recognition tools and the potential risk to our privacy that comes along with it. One of the things I like about this story is the explanation of modeling, and how without a model, facial scanning doesn’t really work. It’s comparable to the conversations I’ve had…
