ELSEWARES

Okay, not exactly press - more like PR - but still awesome. We’re all over Basecamp like white on rice and were happy to talk about it on tape.

We’ve been using Google Apps for Your Domain to handle elsewares.com email for months now, and we love it. And I spend a lot of time using Google Reader, which rocks. But there are a few bugs that have popped up while using these at the same time.

1) I can access Google Reader via google.com/reader/view or reader.google.com/hosted/elsewares.com - but these urls seem to access different accounts I didn’t even know I had. Feeds I subscribe to via one account sometimes don’t show up in the other one. And sometimes they do. So it’s all very confusing. Google Reader is not part of the Google Apps for Your Domain service (or it isn’t yet) so I don’t know what the deal is here.

I had a few really interesting posts “starred” in Reader. Now they’re gone, no matter how I log in. I don’t remember what they were exactly, and it drives me crazy that I’ll never know.

2) If I click on a mailto: link in Google Reader, I get this error:

I can’t be the only person having this issue with Google Apps, can I?

Real entrepreneurs, pitching to a real VC, in a moving elevator. This is such a great concept. Maybe next time there’ll be a killer pitch in the bunch.

Okay - if Joyent isn’t coming through with the goods, give me Foldera!

This chat with a Foldera developer on the subject of GTD is most tantalizing.

Greetings, Folderons. Send me an account, please.

I signed up for Joyent a few months ago and it was awesome, but frustrating. Important features were either missing or really difficult to make work, and there seemed to be only a few people discussing things on their support forums, so I cancelled and went back to our “I-have-that-somewhere-in-Gmail” system.

Now Joyent seems to be maturing and there’s talk of a significant upgrade soon. I’m still interested - but I don’t want to sign up and pay right off the bat, I want to take the system for a spin. So — will Joyent offer users either a stripped-down free plan or a no-charge trial period?
