It probably had something to do with the Tornado 2.2 release. I noticed Ben was the one who posted about the release on HN earlier. Edit: Or it could have just been a spammer. *shrugs*

You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
Great! Thanks! Love FF!
- Scott Monaco
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Lovely. Thanks guys.
- Mitchell Tsai
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?

this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.

Just curious - at what time of the day will we get these emails ? Midnight US-Time, or will it respect our timezones ?
- Ahsan Ali
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!

Thanks Bret

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.

But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?

@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!

@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)

Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)

Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!

awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :)
- Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..

Rumors of FriendFeed's death are greatly exaggerated. (Thank you, Ben!)
- Stephen Mack
Thanks, guys :)
- Friendfeed's Francisco
Stephen, very happy to see new features like this, but I think the "death" part is the major users reducing their activity. I'd love to see some support from Facebook in promoting FriendFeed more to encourage those users to go back. Or maybe they don't want to? Regardless, bonus for me! Thanks Benjamin - you're awesome!
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, fair enough but major users always did come and go. Some of the departees who left said they were doing so because there was no new development. Clearly not all development is halted. Last week Paul hinted that FF may receive a major new feature, and characterized his participation as "20% time" -- I'll take that.
- Stephen Mack
I backed down off the all caps. The group "best of" is really useful, love it.
- Stephen Mack
Stephen, I agree - I'd just like some confirmation that Facebook cares about all this so I can know whether to focus my efforts on Facebook or FriendFeed or both.
- Jesse Stay
I noticed the best of on the iPhone the other day, wrote it out on a cake and then ated it.
- Josh Haley
Thanks for the update Ben
- AJ Batac :)
Jesse, I think you should focus where your users are focused. What do SocialToo users want? But if they want Facebook focus, you should still keep an eye on FriendFeed, since the future Facebook will look a lot more like FriendFeed.
- Bruce Lewis
Bruce, I'm not sure we know that.
- Jesse Stay
Paul Buchheit said the FB acquisition was attractive because of shared vision/direction. I would be surprised if a lot of that vision wasn't already embodied in this product right here.
- Bruce Lewis
not enough, best of day should be like a stream that can be traced back

Cool! Beats the heck out of #followfriday!!
- Larry Hawes
What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else.
- FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you.
- Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible.
- FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it.
- Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about?
- Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like....
- FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug.
- Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog.
- Bret Taylor
User-driven...I like.
- Josh Haley
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us?
- Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender?
- Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed.
- Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended
- Bret Taylor
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant.
- FFing Enigma
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical)
- Meryn Stol
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.
- Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn)
- Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations

- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday.
- Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

- Josh Haley
I'm all for improving the format of notifications, but wonder (aloud) if it is such a smart move to include the Approve/Reject link right at the top (unless it only appears in private feeds to which someone has requested access). Right now we have the option of blocking/ rejecting a subscriber at any time but presumably not at the very outset. This may lead to more of a walled gardens' mentality, already very prevalent at FF.

Gmail automatically showed me the images in a subscription email, even though I never told it to (you know how gmail has the 'display images below' option). further, it doesn't give me the option to hide the images. not that I'd want to, but how are you bypassing gmail's security feature to hide the images?
- chrisofspades
Chris, we don't do anything special. I'm not sure how gmail decides what images to show, you'd have to contact them or check the gmail help.
- Casey Muller
Casey, you sure FriendFeed's founders didn't use some of their "we created Gmail" mojo? ;)
- chrisofspades
Chris, the "show images" only applies to external images hosted on other sites. Gmail doesn't show those by default because doing so would allow people to "bug" email. We include the images with the email so that they can be displayed immediately.

"Other than maybe death and poverty or something, is there anything sadder than being so frustratingly close to the holidays yet still trapped at work? Definitely not, girl and guy that’s eavesdropping on me while I’m talking to this hypothetical girl. What you need is a little pick-me-up—for example, the smooth, blue-eyed soul sounds of late-’70s/early-‘80s hitmakers Hall And Oates. And right now their satin-smooth, soft-rock sounds are only a phone call away thanks to the Callin’ Oates hotline. Simply dial 719-26-OATES and you’ll be tapped into the national emergency Hall And Oates broadcast system, where you can choose from one of four songs: Press 1 for “One On One,” 2 for “Rich Girl,” 3 for “Maneater,” and 4 for “Private Eyes.”"

Orpheus' music was so powerful that no one could resist it—not even the fairest maiden. He chose the lovely Eurydice to be his wife. But their joy was brief. As Eurydice walked through a meadow shortly after their wedding, a poisonous snake bit her. She died, leaving Orpheus alone and deeply saddened. Overcome by grief, he decided to travel to the land of the dead to get her.

It looks like people are solving it, so hopefully I'm not spoiling it: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Tab, Return. It's a variation of the Konami code (which nets you 30 lives in Contra) adapted for the keyboard. Figured out the first part from Paul's clue, but it took going through the minified Javascript to figure out a) that they didn't use the original Konami code like Google does and b) what they used for keyboard equivalents for "select" and "start."

Is there even enough information to know the answer?

I think so. It took her 10 minutes to saw through it once, so it would take 20 to do it twice (and create 3 pieces).
- Lix
Yes, 1 board divided into 2 peices by 1 cut. 1 cut takes 10 minutes. So to get 3 pieces it takes 2 cuts, thus 20.

Lisa, yeah, this is totally making me think about, "People who can do, do; people that can't, teach."

Doesn't the 20 answer assume some information about the direction of all cuts that isn't supplied? Or is the picture supposed to be enough to imply that ?

Brian, I'm pretty sure the only way you could solve this is to make the assumption that the cuts were the same. Otherwise, you must know distance of each cut, which isn't provided.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
The line-drawing is unrelated, and is to remind students to use chop sticks when going out authentically for sushi.
- Micah
Like I said -- the information supplied is not enough.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian it absolutely is, otherwise the question is useless. The assumption's that are asked is that the board's are similar, and the cuts are across the same axis.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Maybe the "just as fast" is supposed to indicate that it takes the same time for each cut.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, why would you switch directions when cutting a board? Besides wanting to split it's width, it's generally not done, and it still wouldn't make the teacher anymore correct, I'd say it would make the teacher even less correct, because there would be no cut at all.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
If it's "just as fast" per board, then it's 10 minutes each board.
- Micah
Regardless the 15 correction can never be correct. At least the 20 answer is reasonable.
- Brian Sullivan
"Just as fast" makes the teachers second assertion wrong. Just as fast = same rate in my mind, therefore 10mins per cut.
- Mo Kargas
The comments are interesting (some terrible). Basically, it appears it could be 10 mins a cut, therefore 30 mins total. Taking into account the first ten minutes that have elapsed, the answer would be 20.
- caj needs a haircut
Brian, the 15mins isn't always wrong, if the second board was 3/4 the width, it would only take 7.5 minutes to make the cut. 7.5 x 2 = 15 . :)
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Wow. You guys are WAY over-thinking this. 1 cut takes 10 minutes for 2 pieces. 3 pieces means 2 cuts at 10 minutes each. 20 minutes. As my favorite high school algebra/trig teacher used to say, "Keep it simple, stupid." Also, my phone auto-corrects trig to Trogdor.

But that would mean it was not "just as fast"
- Brian Sullivan
Possibly, but not guaranteed to be unrelated: http://friendfeed.com/micahwi...

Lisa, I'm not overthinking the initial problem, I'm overthinking Brian's variations.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Sorry for the diversion -- I have been talking about stuff like this with my son -- who is about to become..... a math teacher.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, and understood where you were coming from, but one thing that they also try to teach congruent to math is problem solving, which involves, less than perfect data, either missing or irrelevant distractors.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Aaargh! I'm supposed to be napping! I love math.
- Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™

The stupidity of the teacher's correction is making my eyes go crossed. Regardless of the correct answer to the problem, the teacher's logic isn't just flawed, it's idiotic and I question why they would be allowed to teach. Yes, I'm harsh. I also expect the people educating me to put as much effort into knowing the subject as I do.

I had a math teacher that used my tests as the answer keys and told anyone that handed theirs in before me to go check it again. (Quite dangerous practice, if you ask me. Never trust a dyscalculic to make your math test answer keys.)
- April
I was sidetracked when I first saw this. It sort kinda made sense when I first saw the answer, but the comments weren't there yet. There is this thing called reality. You don't suddenly get a much sharper saw or develop much stronger arms, or a faster rotating saw.

You should read some of the comments gathering at the original Post - interesting.

One cut takes 10 minutes because Marie works for the city.
- Jemm
Or CalTrans. (with 4 other employees watching)
- Hookuh Tinypants
This came up for another search, and I realized there is another reasonable solution to get 15. If the board is a square, then you can cut it into 3 pieces by spending 10 minutes cutting the board in half(10 minutes), and then cutting perpendicular to the original cut, which would take half as long(5 minutes). 3 pieces in 15 minutes.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I think it was just that the grader misread it as "2 /cuts/ = 10 minutes" not realizing that 2 pieces implies one cut.
- Kevin L
At first glance that was the assumption I made, too. However, if they're smart they should be reasonable and realize the error.
- Kevin L
Also another good reason to always show your work and list assumptions. I realize that's not something elementary grade kids are keen on doing, but this shows the importance. If the person taking the test had jotted down "2 pieces means 1 cut, 3 pieces means 2 cuts, t(3 pieces) = 2*t(2 pieces) = 20 min" then you would see the logic.
