I won’t write a post on it, but just some other infos:

- The dynamically sized right-column on my blog mixes various feeds, one of them is my shared items from google. There is more in that post I wrote a while back on Blog Lensing.

- Noting works not only on subscribed entries, but you can note anything with a URL (see the bookmarklet Google provides)

It seems you can’t condense the post on which you took the note

- I think you are allowed to clip the original data, so that it’s just a line or whatever. This is done by clicking the section above your note and below the title.

It’s no surprise that Reader does these things, it’s been part of google for a number years, and being google they have the man-power to get awesome stuff out of ideas. I’m just glad Google is more hacker than business oriented when it comes to their “thoughts” … yahoo and ms don’t counter because there is not much business logic in these things (at least from the start; most usable things can be used in business).

Other:

just as we “subconsciously” update our MAL lists (c’mon it isn’t that hard)

lol, I don’t like the update episodes issue with AniDB or MAL, its just too old-school. When developing the API for melative I made sure of two things:

1) you can update experience on a title and it will show real-time … so if you start/pause/resume/drop it will show (there isn’t a plugin to do this, but it’s available in the API)

2) the tasklist of “episodes” or whatever to watch, so called a Wishlist, conforms only to items the user designates, plus there was no other way to easily allow a tasklist of chapters, issues, volumes, episodes, etc all user-customizable. (this also has API methods so basically it can be done from the WP dashboard if one so wished to code a plugin that way)

The general idea is to have platforms which allow high-portability, 3rd party applications, etc…. essentially this is the same with RSS … thank god for it.

Even though AniDB and MAL have helper clients that auto-magically check off episodes or whatever, its the underlying concept, and its just me… I don’t see why it matters what episode someone has seen as compared to if they have completed the entire series or not, and even what they thought about the episode. So-and-so has seen episode 6 of bla … and?
