I did not fall for the recent Phishing scheme so one of three things has happened, my password was hacked through a flaw in Twitter, one of the many services (NOT twply) that I gave my credentials to has hijacked it, or someone guessed the password.

Same here, actually. I haven't been able to log in or to reset my password since about 11am today. I did not fall for the phishing attack either. I was using Power Twitter, which I installed yesterday. I can still update Twitter and get my DMs via SMS, but otherwise I'm locked out. Thankfully, there are no stray posts yet on my timeline. I sent Twitter a bug report through their help screen earlier today, but haven't heard back from them yet.
- alex de carvalho
Power twitter did NOT affect my account at all. That's just a Firefox add on and it does NOT ask for your password, so I doubt that would be an issue. I think this is more of a pointed attack to go for twitter's management; PR attack. Notice how pointed the accounts are that were hacked -- many *high profile* accounts...that's not a mistake, that was done on purpose. Leo was a victim and I hope they catch that / those jerks!

It's nice that they have the API limit moving up, but it still doesn't offer the response time that I desire.

Good vid / reasoning Robert, but one question. You put a high value on the "real time" nature of Twitter (for good reason), but are you really highlighting the real time nature of Twitter via Google Talk? i.e.: is the "client" adding some of that value? If so, could FF in GT be of equal value?
- Kevin C. Tofel
The client is certainly adding some of the value and, yes, I'd LOVE to see XMPP in FriendFeed so I could do the same thing here.

- John McElhenney
my guess is that you already have a lot of followers on twitter and will stay there to the bitter end because it is the path of least resistance. Eventually the features that make twitter so great will be available on other platforms, plurk for example, and while it's easy to stop a spammer on Plurk (as soon as the first person exposes the spammer/bot no one will follow them unlike twitter where scrape bots have the same juice as anyone else.

- Peter Dawson
As long as there is no (realistic, scalable) way to check people's identities that works for everybody (so no credit card) and is free (or companies won't implement it), all this talk is useless.
- sebmos
@Peter Dawson - Beside being an account that wasn't created by Obama's campaign, this account didn't do anything wrong. It's definitely not a "troll", as it didn't comment useless stuff, etc. I'm having a difficult time seeing the problem with THIS account.
- sebmos
The account does not claim to be Obama, and clearly is not slandering Obama. Further, even if it WAS on Obama's behalf it wouldn't "be" him anyway. As for the whole squatting hew and cry, think of the nightmare. How popular would someone have to be before they could demand the special status of "he who gets to use one name everywhere"? Does Scoble get special treatment but a smaller person is just screwed? First come, first served is fine. In cases of slander or fraud there are already laws.

- Bret Taylor
@scobleizer: It also does a bit of what you want for individual services as well. Here are the best Twitters from the past day: http://friendfeed.com/summary.... Click the service icons to restrict the "best of" view to a single service. It doesn't let you send the link out to anyone since it is entirely personalized, nor is it the generalized search interface you described, but it is a step in that direction.
- Bret Taylor
Also looks like the date can go from 1 thru 30. greater than 30 reverts to 30
- Atul Arora
Bret: that's very cool. It's amazing how few things I actually have missed. But, this will be useful to check in on. One thing I do wish it had was "big things since last time you were here."
- Robert Scoble
Next? I'd love to have a way to see a true reverse-chronological view of the "Everyone" feed, but let me filter by "n" Likes and "n" Comments.
- Robert Scoble
How about, do a time stamp of the last time Robert logged in, and every hour afterward, do a screen capture of every single update from everybody he follows, save it as a massive PDF file, and send it to him via e-mail attachment. Repeat every 60 minutes.
- Louis Gray
@Louis Gray: That'll make FF go twitter!
- Yuvi
uh-oh.. going 'twitter' is launching as an idiom..
- sedgewick
Awesome idea Bret. Hey, we'd be honored if you could speak at FOWA this year (http://futureofwebapps.com). Interested?
- Ryan Carson
perfect! now i only need to convince most of my friends to update their webbrowse behavior. most of them still didnt make the jump too rss and sharing is done mostly by skype :(
- Chris Hofmann
Great addition. I'd also like to see it applicable at the individual user level.
- Mark Krynsky
Been really looking forward to this since seeing it mentioned on "The Dan Farber Show"! In typical FF style, great feature with simple, clear implementation. Yummy!
- Matt Frog
This is very cool. As soon as they provide an Atom feed of this, it'll be the most kickass service ever.
- Eric Florenzano
hmmm, this is my top post. Nice one
- Andrew Smith
This is a great addition, shows that they are listening to what people want!
- Joe Dawson
Oh, now see, this is just awesome.
- Vince DeGeorge
Can we get a favorite button for stuff like this :)
- Rob Diana
They should call it A-list juice
- Jamie
I want a feed for this feature!
- Marcus
Very nice feature, for me, given the addiction, I suspect the "day" one will be the most used to make sure I didn't miss anything good. :)
- felix
Bret: Yeah!! Great feature!! I've been waiting for this one! woo hoo! :)
- Susan Beebe
Feedback: 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day look pretty good. 14-day and 30-day summaries seem swamped by the last 7 days (Maybe searches in 10-30-days should have older items weighted heavier than in 1-3-7 day summaries). Awesome! This really helps with the "Page 11" (Search past #300-399 fails design). My Friends feed (of 149 people) only goes back about 4 hrs. Everything past that is lost... Wish my regular Friends feed would save 24+ hrs. Nice job Bret!
- Mitchell Tsai
Thanks, Bret! That's why we love friendfeed :)
- Kenichi Matsumoto
ooh, what's this? ok, same thing I already talked about. awesome!
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Bret, you are an absolute genius. Every time I hear you speak (or write) I am just more and more impressed.
- Alex Hammer
Search by service for Top 100 YouTube pictures, Blog articles, Google Reader/Del.icio.us articles, Last.fm songs... We can search for "&service=picasa&num=100", "&service=flickr", "&service=blog", "&service=googlereader","&service=delicious" See http://friendfeed.com/e... for multiple Top 100 searches from the past 1-2-3-7-14-30 days.
- Mitchell Tsai
Search for best 100 articles from past day with "&num=100" See http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Mitchell Tsai
Thank you! Arigatou gozaimasu!
- Mike Reynolds
Well, I must say it works! I've already found three things I had missed this week and really interest me.
- Andrés David Aparicio
wow, that's actually kinda...useful!
- Sarah Perez
This could prove beneficial, what is the algorithm they are using?
- Chris Miller
My guess would be comments and likes
- Bwana ☠
Hmm.. And this is the first item in my personalized recommendations? I guess it works :)
- Dimitri Glazkov
What's very VERY cool is that service filters work with this as well http://friendfeed.com/e.... EDIT: I just saw Mitchell already posted this feature. I should have known, he's always on top of these things :)
- Bwana ☠
Awesome!
- Daniel Spradau
Nice, that was the thing to do. I hope to get something like that for Twitter and I think it's still possible to make.
- fbrunel
I bet FF hires Mitchell to code up queries!! LOL good stuff here Bret & Mitchell!!
- Susan Beebe
@Bret: I'm sad you don't support APML.
- directeur
Susan: I'm just too lazy (and retired May 2007). Now I code in Excel & FriendFeed (rather than Fortran 66 & Cobol). I just bookmark my own FriendFeed posts in Safari & Firefox rather than make too many Safari bookmark-sub-menus. Getting too lazy to write HTML or LAMP. ;-) Headed to Yosemite in a few days after the Harmony Festival this weekend - Robert Scoble's Ansel Adams visit was too tempting :0)
- Mitchell Tsai
Awaiting for more kick-ass features from FF! Great work!
- Winston Teo
This is great Bret. FF keeps getting better.
- Michael Carter
great addition to the functionality!
- Jeroen De Miranda
Are there plans to extend "best of" to FF rooms? Depending on the number of members and activity, that could be really interesting.
- Tom Landini
This is so incredibly awesome. FriendFeed just returned to the same level of utility (for my usage patterns) as before the launch / noise onslaught. :-)
- Kevin Scott
awesome, thats useful! now i need direct messages, go one
- Alexander Oelling
Bret Taylor is amazing!
- Alex Hammer
I find it interesting on how this feature is at the top of "best of the month." Seems kinda pointless.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Finally back on a full computer after a nearly two-week absence (no, I didn't go to Peru, I went to Alabama). Looks nice.
- Ontario Emperor
Great addition! Next feature request: let me filter by people I really know vs. people I just like to follow so I can see what my "real" friends are doing at a glance.
