Radio Review part II (i actually miss AbbeNormal's entry names, which is funny because it really bugged me that i had to come up with names at first -- i guess i want the choice)
These have also been posted to the Radio discussion.
Radio is slow for me (OS X)
I guess i should expect it from a web-based app, but Radio is slow! Often takes several seconds between clicking on a link and getting a response. My Web Server Log page (that's yours) verifies this, showing 3-4 seconds typically, and up to 7-9 even for 15k files. For comparison, IE accesses bigger pages from Apache much faster.
Fatlogic has a similar experience, on Windows.
OS X even froze up (even the mouse!) for about 10 seconds at the top of one hour, and i think iTunes may have stuttered once or twice when i'm accessing the desktop website heavily, but i haven't been able to replicate those. I even had a complete freeze-up today (no kernel panic visible, and alas i had telnetting turned off), but like many OS X users, i run a lot of beta software, gNat and ASM in particular are implicated but i'm getting off-topic...

In the prefs it says: "Radio UserLand can send email to let you know when there are errors, where it stored a picture, or let a friend or colleague know that you've posted something"
The rest of the features i list below don't exist yet AFAIK, but that first one is clearly supposed to be in here somewhere. I can't find it. Help?
Discussion? (or was this a marketing design choice to push people who wish to respond to get their own weblog? Evil...)
Search?!?
Moazam Raja has already ranted about those two, and he's right -- *and* because there was no discussion tool, i couldn't let him know i agreed (and point him to an answer for another issue he had). Until Moazam+Raja+Sun on Google worked.
But in a way the biggest one is the Edit button at the bottom of each item. Thinking back, seeing those buttons for the first time (i played with Radio 7 briefly--or was that Pike?) was an event that connected weblog and wiki for me forever.
Okay, if it isn't clear from all this, you can't be this frustrated with a product and not be really excited about it (hey, this is how i often feel about PikiePikie -- which runs my other weblog, AbbeNormal).
Oh yeah, finally linked here from there.
