I was one of the lucky ones that got their hands on a Streamy invite from the great people over at Mashable. I have been messing around and exploring Stremy now since yesterday and now im willing to share what I think about it.
My first opinions of Streamy is that it looks beautiful, the use of AJAX in this is used very well. From how you navigate between pages, to switching views of your rss feed. Streamy is a very customizable and shareable environment. For example you can have your feeds display one per line, in a two per row pattern, or how ever you like it. The help menus are very helpful and designed nicely to move to the corresponding areas where you should be looking to do things.
The social aspect of Streamy is very promising, you can comment, add friends, share stories ith a simple drag and drop, copy and paste to save or send to a friend. The sign up process was very simple and there was no confusion on how to do what I wanted to do. Built right into the environment is an IM client where you can talk and share stories, RSS feeds and more. Anothe rcool aspect of it is there are audio alerts for certain things. Simply click on the speaker icon at the top to disable sounds.
One of the first things that came to mind when looking and exploring was, there are no advertisements at all. Whether it stays like this or not, its up to them but its cool for now. The text is very easy to read and you can change themes. The colors and loading graphic is very
I have been a huge fan of rss and recently switched over to google reader. Being such a fan of Google, I literally use 90% of their products from GMail to Google Earth to AdSense etc. but I do have to say, I have no interest in Google reader anymore. Streamy totally replaces that now and as much as I love Digg,…it will keep me away from Digg a bit also,..so maybe this product is really worth its hype in a sense that could really be a Digg killer.
Now For the Pictures!
I just want to say a big thank you to Mashable.com. I entered a contest on why I want a Streamy invite. I guess I was one of the lucky winners. I really appreciate this. You guys at Mashable are great and I have been watching you grow over time. You rock Mashable! If you want to check out the official Mashable contest, you can take a look at it here.

If I get any spare invites and anyone wants one, let me know.
There is a lot of buzz going on about how the source code of Facebook got leaked. First off I would like to say it technically did not get leaked since Facebook servers produced the PHP error code out into his browser window. So everyone saying it was leaked should rephrase that. But anyways!
Trae McNeely, a graduate of the University of Oklahoma is the one who everyone is talking about. Initial thoughts were saying that he worked for SlashGear as an author of their blog, but now says he’s the owner and operator of WMDTalk forums where the source code was posted.
Apparently he sent an email to Mashable saying it was him who posted it for educational reasons. Other sites like FacebookSecrets, a blog on blogspot has the actual code on their site (until it gets taken down by them or a higher authority)
Facebook is claims this to be illegal, but since he didn’t actually leak anything im siding with Trae on this one. Honestly, if Facebook decides to file lawsuit on this one, that would be completely ridiculous since its own servers produced that out put of code.
