How do I embed my FF stream on Posterous? - phil baumann

I've embedded this thread on a Posterous entry: http://e-lusion.posterous.com/what-is... :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it? - Sean

my posterous: http://mystrongmedicine.posterous.com - Sean

Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@ Phil Kol beat me to the explanation - Sean

Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript. - David Gross from email

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no? - Alex Schleber

They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists. - NNR from email

I've tried a couple today and the images don't come in and the imported text is messy. Works just fine in Google Buzz so if I could work out while my import is messy in FF then it would be a viable option for posting a few articles to both FF and Buzz in one click. - Kol Tregaskes

I see Twitter being down, for many folks, like a power outage. Everyone stops... rubs their eyes, looks around, and eventually picks up a book. :) - Louis Gray

Pretty much. I was polling people about something, but I guess I could go... uh... - Jolie O'Dell

Hacked by "Iranian Cyber Army" according to TechCrunch -http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Atul Arora

I am mainly curious to see if Google/Feedburner will automatically tweet my new blog post now. That's why I even found out, because I checked. - Louis Gray

Yes, Atul. (See the Google Reader share on my feed) - Louis Gray

Louis - my bad. Was lazy not to scroll down to the bottom of the screen :) - Atul Arora

I got an error from DISQUS when I posted to your blog - Ankush Narula

Totally. Where else we gonna go? FriendFeed is, in that sense and to some people, like Twitter's less hot but totally more willing friend. Dang. - Jolie O'Dell

Ankush, I got your comment, successfully. - Louis Gray

Yes, no one will hack FriendFeed. - Jose Alvear

Jolie, FriendFeed is much hotter, but there is an entrance fee and bouncers. - Louis Gray

yes... it posted to DISQUS... but I get a cross-site pop-up from DISQUS that wanted me to reconfigure my twitter connection - Ankush Narula

Are we still talking about apps?? - WoH: Minding her Steves

Louis is right - I've seen peeps get bounced. Good times :) - Micah

Question is: How many blog posts will get written about it? And how many will have BREAKING in the headline? And... what's the point? :) - Louis Gray

Isn't a daily Twitter outage almost expected these days... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

This seems like a bit more than the regular outage. Am I wrong? - David Damore

oh one more ... Twitter is like a really hot chick with a heart condition and tendency to get raped every now and then... - Ankush Narula

A tendency to get raped... Yup. I'm definitely over the Internet for tonight. Peace, y'all! - Jolie O'Dell

I predict FriendFeed traffic back up this month :-) - Jesse Stay

Why isn't there ever a Farmville outage, it has more people and money is even involved.... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Louis, my question is how will you ironically work the word BREAKING into one of your blog posts by tomorrow. *taps toe...* - Micah

Is it a requirement, Micah? - Louis Gray

Interesting that http://search.twitter.com/ seems to be working fine. - David Damore

Tech Crunch: "Update III: It is suggested that if you use the same password on your Twitter account with other accounts, now would be a good time to change your password on those other accounts. Because of the scale of this hack, it can only be assumed right now that Twitter has been completely compromised." - David Damore

Louis, yes, it's practically required now - MaryB voted on it! - Micah

Somehow, I just got a new Twitter follower 1 minute ago. :) - Louis Gray

Was it @IranianCyberArmy ? - Ankush Narula

Google Reader is borked in Chrome at the moment. - Vezquex

That's unpossible! - Louis Gray

I would use it to make notes on the books I read on kindle. Select a paragraph I find of interest, notes on something I want to research further, reference for tweets, posts I would make on the subject. For instance, currently reading Tear Down This Myth on kindle. Would love to have notes on this I could reference from Evernote. - Dinah

To the new Kindle DX, I would send (or retrieve) the PDFs now stored in Evernote. If Evernote integration were listed as a feature, I would probably be clicking the final button to buy the KDX. - Ken Morrill

@Dinah - Is there a way to have the Kindle mail your notes? You could use the email address provided with your Evernote account to slurp them in. I can't remember how the Kindle exports them. - Lindsay

@bluecockatoo that's a great idea! I work for a church that is trying to find a way to distribute the music we've written in pdf form to the performers.... using evernote to storethem, then emailing them out and accessing it via a Kindle... great now I have to go order one to play with. - Jim Edwards

Does the Kindle read RSS feeds? Public notebooks generate RSS feeds. - Peter van Teeseling

Yes, but I do like the potential - Francine Hardaway

I'm completely for having a fair vote, but I'm not sure that I'd want to try and align FriendFeed with a particular candidate, which is what a green logo would imply. - Kevin Fox

Many iranians using proxies to access FF. and therefore their IPs changes to fake IP . - آدمیرال

@Kevin, totally understandable. - EricaJoy from IM

If Iran thinks they have nothing to fear, then why block Friendfeed? - Frode Stenstrøm

Frode: because the government is like China: they believe that by retarding the flow of information they will reduce the threat of protests and governmental overthrow. - Robert Scoble

Very reminiscent of the prelude to the fall of the Shah - Alan Morris

I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access. - Bret Taylor

Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information. - Robert Scoble

is it a joke? iranian users seems the %90 of friend feed. it could not be real! - Fırat Demirel

Firat: There are no units on the vertical axis of the chart. - Ken Sheppardson

Firat: This is a chart of traffic from Iran, not of FF's total traffic. - Kevin Fox

Firat, i doubt that this graph is a percentage graph... probably more likely that it's measuring hits, sessions, or total data transfered (mb, kb, etc) - Chris Heath

Kevin: what impact did this have on FF's overall traffic? - Robert Scoble

Robert: Iran is the #6 country for FriendFeed in terms of page views per day. - Bret Taylor

something is cooking out there... - mehdi

Thanks all for answers. i told that it could not be real.. :) excuse me, i ve just read Bret's notice and looked at breaking point. i saw what i've missed before.. bad news for ff and iran.. :( - Fırat Demirel

These statistics are incredible, especially the normally heavy useage of FF in Iran. - Curt Mercadante

Bret Taylor, we can tag our pix and vids about iran election by an english keyword such as 'iran' or 'iranelection'. I think it will help to ff non-persian users to find out more about unrests in iran. - آدمیرال

Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices.

Authorities blocking the internet are just reinforcing solidarity between people, can't they understand ? - stanjourdan

Stanislas: not to mention they encourage their smartest and richest people to leave (the ones who have technical skills). There's a reason why Silicon Valley has 10,000 or more Iranians living here. Their government sucks and the people are getting tired of it. Of course if their government was great I would never have met my wife (who grew up in Tehran). So, there is good to come out of a crappy government! :-) - Robert Scoble

it has always seemed to me that the iranian user base is ENORMOUS here. wow. unbelievable. - edythe

It is interesting how much civil unrest that is brewing across the globe towards their governments. The knee jerk reactions in attempting to block certain websites shows how much they didn't expect the net to become such a widespread conduit for cutting through the bs and informing those that wish to know. I wish those who take a stand all the best. - alphaxion

:( - Roberto

Another way for those that are in Iran is to access through Netvibes (but I don't know if it works or if it's blocked too), adding Friendfeed, Gmail and so on such as modules - Roberto

If anybody in Iran feels up to it, can you temporarily disable your proxy and run a traceroute to friendfeed.com and twitter.com then post the results here? - EricaJoy

Bret and Paul, can you let us know if the traffic comes back, which would tell us they've unblocked FriendFeed? - Robert Scoble

Robert: absolutely, we will let everyone know when it comes back up - Bret Taylor from email

Yes, Friendfeed is blocked in Iran. Right now the papers and TV channels here are ‎controlled by the government and our access to satellite channels is blocked too. ‎Friendfeed and Twitter are quite vital for us now. Our main source of exchanging ‎information and news is Friendfeed. Via Friendfeed we let everyone know that where ‎people need help and where to go and how to help them and... more... - Selma

Selma: does https://friendfeed.com/ work for you? - Bret Taylor

Nope, they have blocked all https addresses, we have had to sign in to Friendfeed via anti-filters for the past few months. - Selma

The Iranian websites that people used to exchange information about the election protests ‎in Iran are under cyber-attacks by the government forces and from anonymous sources. ‎Many of them are down right now. These Iranian websites were our few last remaining ‎channels to inform people. What can we do about that? Is there anyone out there who can help us with this?‎ - لوطی امین

i was 53rd active user in friendfeed until this filtering. now i can open FF with proxies and if i can fine. a Vpn but many Vpn here come from companies that have relations with security services, i thunk they allow us to bypass filternig and then, they will arrest who has wrote against their goals - اکانت قدیمی خیزران

Can't we transfer the data/databases of the sites you, iranian guys, use to any new domain we could buy? I want to help. Not by throwing rocks to "security service" forces, but, at least, by making possible for what YOU have to say to go public, worldwide. - Zackatoustra

Could http://dev.ctor.org/f2p, http://frienddeck.com or http://peoplebrwsr.com work for friendfeed? - Alexandros Georgiadis

Very sad. - Parth Awasthi

The reason I ask is because if you can email a post, then try sending it to share@friendfeed and also to YourUserName@friendfeed. Then when someone comments you'll receive an email about it and you can comment back to the thread via email as well. - FFing Enigma

Just curious if anyone has tried TweetCaster from Handmark yet. It's a new client for the BB. It's free. It's pretty. It's slow on my Curve 8320. I can usually only see 2 tweets per screen tops (which is pretty annoying). It's got a ton of cool features like Trending Topics, Nearby tweets, Search, etc. I'll play with it for a few more days before deciding whether to keep it or not. UberTwitter is not nearly as pretty but I can get so much more info on the screen. - Bryan Zirkel

I forgot, it also supports multiple Twitter accounts which is pretty fancy pants. http://www.handmark.com/company... - Bryan Zirkel

I have about ten folders with broad categories and one for fast news which is the one that gets old quickly, the others can wait and I don't mind if they accumulate articles. - M F

Group everything like you have done. I then have a folder with just the 5 or so feeds I read daily. The search function means you can be quite broad with your categories. Like M F above says really. - Toby Graham

I don't need to organize my feeds: I subscribe only to must-read full-text feeds, I toggle full screen mode (u), I read quickly by hitting j/k, I star articles that deserve further reading (s), I share (shift+s) or email (e). So far it's a perfect process for me. I don't bookmark & label Friendfeed entries, why should I do so in Reader? (I actually put my feed in broad categories when subscribing, but it's only for stats) - Jérôme

I didn't know about full-screen-mode. Thanks for the tip Jérôme. - Fred Yankowski

This is a good question. I'm enjoying the feedback. Personally, I have my feeds organized by topic (i.e. Higher Ed, News, Technology, etc.) as well as by priority (Priority 1, 2, and 3). This allows me to easily locate my most important feeds when my account gets out of control. All others are marked as read. Each time I add a new feed, it is given a priority as well as a subject tag. - Adam

Oh, nice.. Organize by priority is a good idea. - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

I simply put all the feeds I consider must-reads into a folder and leave the rest as is - LANjackal

I have one folder called ___DAILY READS that's the stuff I read every day. Everything else is filed away like yours. Works for me. Oh and LOVE FEEDLY!! - sean808080

I organize them by priority to be read so that i adapt the number of entries i read with the time i have to do it. I had previously sorted them by topic, but since i changed i'm more efficient :-) - stanjourdan

No organization. I just browse down the list and read what catches my interest at the time. - Todd Hoff

how do you set up viigo for friendfeed? thru rss feeds? I never noticed anything before. Is this something that just came out in a new version? - Matt Thompson

it's more like a pre populated RSS reader. They just added twitter support and audio streaming for podcasts, but I haven't had the chance to check it out.

A better question to ask: What program do you use to browse the web? || My mother is a Chrome user but wouldn't be able to answer the browser question. However she would have been able to answer the question I posed above. I use Mom as the basis for the brains of non-techy folks. - Miss Elle

my mom should be able to answer that correctly, only because i've been using that word in phone troubleshooting. and i would say it makes sense that people don't take "browser" as a particular term. this is the future. - viav

"A Google street view camera snapped photos of 2 men moments before they assaulted and robbed a teen of £140 ($232 US) and his cellular phone in the Netherlands. The victim, a 14 year old boy from Groningen, a town 110 miles north-east of Amsterdam, discovered the photo of himself on Google’s street view and realized it also showed his two attackers preparing to rob him. The boy went to police, who had previously been unsuccessful in solving the case and showed them the photo." - Andrew Trinh from Bookmarklet

all this stuff with street cameras, Google street view, crime, makes me think - lets wait i think 2-3 years, ...... we will, maybe all of us, for free, have access to real time 1 foot detail live satellite feeds from around the planet .. for surveillance of the crime, and better, for other news , .... it will be real kuul .... - pb:

"It appears that Google has reserved a million phone numbers from Level 3 for use with Google Voice. This is a very good indication that the company will be opening up its doors for business in the near future. Google Voice will change the way you send/receive phone calls, listen to voicemail, read text messages, etc. When you subscribe to Google Voice, the only phone number that matters is your Google Number — it will forward calls/texts to the phones of your choosing by following certain rules around time of day and contact groups. In addition, it also has a wealth of powerful features that let you do things like listen in on messages and “pick up the line” on a different phone or device without dropping the call." - arnaldostream from Bookmarklet

I must have tried Evernote five times, but can't really get what is SO useful about it. Maybe it's the "how" - can someone direct me to how they use it and why it's useful to them? As far as paid apps, Pandora, Carbonite and Extra Storage on Google. That's it. - Vince DeGeorge

freshbooks is great for small business invoicing. I use Pandora One also and Remember The Milk. trying Action Method (really good!) - Julian Seery Gude from BuddyFeed

Spotify.com, ProvideSupport.com, EverNote.com and soon e-tipi.com :-) - Elian Chrebor

@elian what does Spotify premium brings? I would subscribe for an offline and/or iPhone feature. E-tipi probably but I hope you won't have to pay ;) - Jean-Charles VERDIE

Can someone tell me what lynda.com does? And what do you get extra with a paid Pandora account? - Mark Traphagen

Mark: Lynda offers professional video tutorials or classes on pretty much any software imaginable (classes are streamed in browser via QuickTime and range anywhere from 2-12 hours. Pandora One is the pay Pandora account. It offers more skipping per day, double the bit rate quality (192 - huge difference from free account) and also a longer timeout period. - Mike Bracco

I thought the bit rate quality with Pandora One wasn't going to be a big deal but it's night and day...big difference. - Mike Bracco

Thanks, Mike! - Mark Traphagen

I pay for Flickr, Plaxo and Me.com - Boris

Flickr is the only thing I pay for. At work we pay for Wufoo and love it. - Laura Norvig

Netflix, DeviantArt and that is it. That is all I pay for online besides GoDaddy for web hosting. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

spotify :). - Tobias W.

I only pay for one at this point: Flickr. I am considering Evernote as well. - Adam

Likely Evernote. still test driving it. - Carolyn Chan

No test driving necessary for me, now a premium subscriber :) - LANjackal from IM

giganews unlimited usenet for $25/mo is always tempting - Mike Chelen

Other than my Web hosting, I don't have any paid subscriptions to online services that I can think of. I tend to gravitate toward ad-supported free services. - Fried Curdys
