FriendFeed API v2: Real-time, OAuth, file attachments, and more - http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009...
A. T., Bojan Babic, Taras Brizitsky and 202 other people liked this
"Today we are launching version 2 of the FriendFeed API for beta testing. We focused on making the API simpler to use, and we added number of compelling new features." Documentation: http://friendfeed.com/api...

OAuth? Sweet. Thanks a lot for all the new good stuff in the API: can't wait to use it.
- Mark Trapp
very nice. great work!
- Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど
Yet another reason to like Bret. :-)

Great!!!

nice!
- Daniel Rust
good job guys, I bet devs are jumping high right now
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Sweet, congrats!
- Ivan Zuzak
nice, good to see OAuth support, this will enable a larger 3rd party ecosphere around FriendFeed, I hope
- Jeroen De Miranda
After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages?
- Mark Trapp
Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed.
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks!
- Mark Trapp
Can you post the wget version of the command line?
- Gabe
Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget.
- Mark Trapp
Thanks God it is New API.
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
from iPod
Nice progress here with this release!
- Micah
I love it!
- friday night
Why is wget questionable?
- Gabe
Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle.
- Mark Trapp
cool : )

Woowoo, bgolub's password is “passwd” ;-)
- Amit Patel
Amit: I wonder how many people tested that :)
- Benjamin Golub
Thanks to bgolub posting his password, I now have all of FriendFeed's secret documents about notorious users, useless metrics, Justin Timberlake's promoting FF on Oprah's show, hiring Colbert as a spokesperson, Ev Williams being just a “distraction”. TechCrunch is going to love this! ;)

Mo, I'm a newb to the shared maps stuff, but I turned on collaboration and allowed anyone to edit the map. There should be an edit button and then you can add a placemark.
- Mark Krynsky
erm...Adelaide, SA, Australia
- Mo Kargas
Sydney, Australia.
- Andrew Trinh
Yeah, I don't see how to add anything to the map
- Rah-PM 2012
But you already have Rahsheen.
- Andrew Trinh
Well it's working because I see others are adding themselves...Make sure you are logged into your Google account.
- Mark Krynsky
After most have put their placemarks on, don't let anyone edit it because there's always someone out there waiting to fuck shit up.
- Andrew Trinh
This guide may help http://local.google.com/support...
- Mark Krynsky
@Andrew...good point. I just changed it from public to unlisted which only makes the map available to those with the URL.
- Mark Krynsky
Even so, last time we had the Confessions account details on FF it was tinkered with.
- Andrew Trinh
I added mine, but in the process of learning I think I nudged the Sydney, Australia points off a little. Sorry.
- Rob H.
Ok, think I did it!
- Bec Rowe @d0tski
Robert bought me a new house in the northern suburbs.

@Bec...nice. You are the first brave female on here.

Cool idea, Mark! I was thinking something like this would be fun the other day. Duly added myself - or at least the nearest big intersection. ;)
- Jandy
Mousing over the usernames shows your Google profile info...cool.
- Mark Krynsky
I marked a bus stop near my house. But not TOO near. :)

If you haven't yet...go add FriendFeed to your Google Profile...it will then auto-discover and allow you to add a ton of other profiles you have.

@Jill, make sure you are logged into your Google account and then click on the edit button above the list of names already on the map. You will then see the pushpin in the upper left hand side of the map.

Great idea!

Added. Seems like there are a lot of us in the Bay Area...we must do a get together at some point.
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
@Neal yea, we really need a FriendFeed meetup. I might be up there for Web 2.0 in March...or we can have one at SXSW if a large number of us are going. Let's plan and get the Upcoming page going.
- Mark Krynsky
Am I the only FriendFeeder in VA?
- Aram Zucker-Scharff
@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up?
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Maybe we can talk Paul & Bret into letting us invade the FF offices for a meetup in conjunction with Web 2.0? That would be sooooo cool!
- Mark Krynsky
Oooh, now that's a really great idea.

@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster.

What about famous people and royalty - are they going to be scanned? And if not, why not?
- WoH: Minding her Steves
I find those images to be dubious in that the clothed photo is clearly not that of the naked woman. The photos that I've seen tend to show clothing as well which would mean that if you inverted them you'd still see the clothing. I don't think these scanners are a great idea, mainly because they don't solve anything. however the FUD surrounding them on both sides of the argument is leading to too little actual truth being told.
- Kenton
MVB: so you can opt to be patted down? I hadn't realised that. Though if you had a colostomy or similar that would be a terrible indignity and possibly disastrous whichever way it was done.
- WoH: Minding her Steves
I think these images have been shown to be 'shopped. However, the scans are quite detailed, and if they are blurred for privacy then they have little security purpose (which is already minimal since there are lots of other places to hide bombs and there are infinitely more tactics and targets that they don't address).
- Tinfoil 2.0
And yes, the TSA still allows pat-downs as an alternative (I'll take a pat-down from someone looking me in the eye over some perv in a hidden room doing who-knows-what with my image any day of the week). Not to mention the unknown health effects of this kind of radiation. This program is wrong in so many ways. The devices do have hard disks and USB (allegedly 'disabled' in some unknown...

- Tinfoil 2.0
LogEx, they say that all they did was use a simple program to "invert" the images. If the image of the woman in the clothes was inverted we would see a picture of a woman with a green top and blue pants, not a nude woman. Of course, she isn't even standing in the same way etc.
- Kenton

keep in mind that I think it's the US where they're banning the use of this machine by minors because the image produced could be considered of a paedophilic nature by the law. And yes, you can see quite a bit of detail from these things - tho the linked images are fake.
- alphaxion
The images (not inverted) are from : http://www.bild.de/BILD... , as clearly linked in the prisonplanet article [edit: sorry, which was reprinted at doomdaily], and BTW, those original scanner images clearly have a blue tinge.

@matthew why don't they simply get rid of the scanner and resort to compulsory strip searches of every passenger and see how people feel then. Because this is all these scanners amount to - a strip search.
- alphaxion

- Josh Haley
because they both have the same issue - total abuse of human rights, only one is a little more convenient than the other due to technology, and so we're supposed to find this perfectly acceptable? I, for one, will request a pat down rather than walk through a technological strip search where there is no warrent for such an action.
- alphaxion
My understanding is that the current crop of body scanners uses software to "cartoonify" the image. body parts are deliberately fuzzed out. So this is kinda moot.
- The original Kevin
@Kevin - the article (and yes, I know there's question of it's credibility) says that the body parts aren't blured because that would basically sacrifice the security benefits (I mean, you could hide stuff in that area....). @Matthew, you may not see it as a violation but some of us who aren't really comfortable with strangers seeing us naked (and potentially persisting that image to embarrass us later), do see it as such. I wear clothes for a reason.
- Lindsay
Even if it is effective, I don't want to use it. I would opt for the less effective route of a pat down if I had to choose. If it's not effective, then yeah, let's drop it. But the article wasn't discussing the effectiveness. It was about the privacy implications.
- Lindsay
Lindsay, I based my comment on an NPR interview last week. It said they've developed an algorithm that displays anomalies on what amounts to an outline of the body. Specific anatomical features are not shown. Of course, I haven't seen an image so I don't know how true that is. And for those who think a pat-down is better than this technology, they can be even more intrusive with the added "benefit" of a total stranger actually touching your body. Just sayin'...

Matthew, the human rights issue is absolutely not secondary. If it's not freedom we're fighting for, then what? Would you give up all of your essential freedoms to guarantee absolute safety? It's not even a realistic trade-off. These scanners are not effective against many threats, are very costly, have potential detrimental health effects, are extremely intrusive, and terrorists will...

What's theoretical about it? These are installed in US airports today, and there are plans for many more. If you say rights are irrelevant at airport screening, then we should all just get cavity searched.

It's not a nudity hang-up with me, I'll strip down in a closed room for a guard (assuming no cameras, and everyone is subject including congress and other dignitaries - no special privileges) if that's what will REALLY work for a 100% guarantee, though I will fight for those who are insulted, offended, or just plain have religious or other conscientious objections to getting strip-searched. It's basic rights at stake with no due process.

They are bringing one into CMH; initially, they will just use it as a supplementary device

I was patted down in an airport in 2006 or 2007. One person was involved, and I was fully dressed. It is preferable to having PEOPLE looking at images of my unclothed body, and it does not make politicians and their bedmates richer.

It doesn't work, it's a technology designed to fail. Obscuring images for privacy hinders the accuracy. Does nothing for body cavities. Also, if our main threat vector is people coming in from overseas, why install these for use on purely domestic flights, or outbound for that matter (other than for fairness to other countries we expect to use them)? And then of course there's the easy...

I just want to point out that if it appears you get "full living color" from inverting an image from one of these machines (be it "millimeter-wave" or "backscatter"), that is just an effect of the color scale chosen to represent the data.
