Stickis and BlogRovR: the conversation is everywhere

Yes, we’re moving. It’s lucky we love the food at the restaurants around South Park though, because we’re going to continue being daily visitors there: we’re only traveling a couple of blocks. But there’s more: unlike the food, a lot else is going to change in the move.
Here’s the short, Twitter-friendly version: we’ve just been […]

Great news on the BlogRovR front: we have been nominated as a finalist, in the browsing category, for the 2008 edition of CNET’s Webware 100. Yes, we’re up against some serious competitors: Firefox, Google Reader, Internet Explorer to name only a few. Given that we are a browser add-on to Firefox and IE, and have […]

The New York Times always entertaining consumer technology columnist David Pogue has a post today I loved. He reviews the Flip, a stripped-down, bare-bones, one-button camcorder which has taken 13% of the camcorder market in no time.
He attributes this product’s amazing stickiness to its being able to be […]

It’s hard to escape kitchen metaphors on Thanksgiving day, especially as smells of an imminent dinner are starting to get very distracting. So there you go: we’ve been working on the 3.0 migration since the early alpha releases of Gran Paradiso were made available, so as Firefox 3.0 Beta is rolling out, our BlogRovR addon […]

Pete Cashmore has written a dynamite post about the validity of subscriber counts from blog aggregators, and by extension from BlogRovR which deserves a considered response and an explanation of how BlogRovR approaches this task.
Stowe Boyd and others have also joined in the conversation.
The short story:

Subscriber counts from most feed aggregators can easily include people […]

Occasionally we get an email or a review which is too good not to share. Some of these we quote on our homepage and download pages. I’d like to quote a cool and funny review of BlogRovR which we just found on YouTube. It was written by Jack Humphrey, from the […]

Hot off the presses, BlogRovR now supports searching within the blogs you’re subscribed to from the top of your RovR homepage. Not the first time we’ve done that in our products (Stickis has it), but this time, with a little help from our friends at Google, development was a lot quicker.

Arguably, there may well have never been such a thing as ultimate geek power; fine.
But I remember a slew of fluff pieces back in the first bubble that were all about the geeks’ role in the economy. More specifically, about how software programmers had suddenly taken over the kingdom and how they were, for the […]

Damn. I did it again: it’s not even noon yet and, just like the car talk brothers always say, I just wasted another perfectly good hour. Except, this time, I spent it tweaking my buddy list on Twitter and answering a deluge of invitations from folks on various social networks.
