After shooting this interview with Sanaz Ahari and Steve Rider I wrote a fun blog post titled: Hadi Partovi, what are you thinking?

That's cause this small team (now three people) is doing an innovative news portal, er, RSS aggregator, over at start.com.

They just updated that site too, details are on the start.com blog.

Anyway, hope you enjoy meeting this team as much as I did. The interview started in Sanaz's car so you can see what MSN's location looks like.

If you just want to see the demo, skip forward to about 14:00.

Just a coder learning the ways of the Developer.
Any chance I could get Steve Rider to look at the following blog post?

There seems to be a bug in their RSS Feed reader.  It doesn't parse Dave Winer's titles correctly.

Just a thought.

p.s. Hey Scoble?  Any idea why you didn't pick up this post in your any of your egoFeeds?  Pubsub or Technorati?  I was sure I submitted my site to each of those services to be spidered.

<shrug>

Oh well.
Hi, Version 1 had a link so once I had set up my feeds I could use this link to access the same feeds on another PC without setting up again.

I love v3 but where is the link that allows my feed to be seen on my other computers

Lol, The puzzle is easy if you look inside Puzzle.js

Did Microsoft buy the start.com domain name or did they own it from day one?

It's a nice project, but I don't see it's future if it stays something like this. There is stuff like this around, friends of mine use it local on there pc. Sure it is nice to bring this to a larger public, so my mom/dad can use it, but will they stay using it?

The 'WOW AMAZING' factor is missing, there is nothing inside me that tells me I need to replace google.com for the start.com homepage.

Anyway keep the good work up!

Edit oops: I just noticed the START preview image is a button =) This is better I can add my own feeds.
Cool enough, the idea is very nice.

And Scoble, please do more exercises for your audiences. I can hear your breathy voice clearly from the video when you go up the stairs. Smiley

Well this site made IE crash on first vist. lol

Just saw it posted on Slashdot like it was the newest thing since sliced bread.  Looks like it got slashdoted as well.

I was reading some of the comments and boy does it get ripped to shreds by the anti-MS zealots.  It just gets shredded because of who owns the site
