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
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)
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?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
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!

Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"?

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@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!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
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)

Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)

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 ..

I respectfully throw myself at the feet of the Court Of FriendFeed and beg for special dispensation since I have only learnt that Friday the 5th of June is Donut Day at 1am on Saturday the 6th. I seek leave to engage in the festivities one day later to atone for my trespass on this most......... wait for it.......... holey day
You doughnut-picture-posting folks are just cruel. I never buy donuts but that photo the other day with the young guy munching the donut must have worked on me subliminally cuz when I got back from lunch I discovered I had stopped at Starbucks and bought an apple fritter.

This morning we changed the format of FriendFeed subscription email messages to include more information about people who subscribe to you. Please let us know if you see any problems, and keep an eye out for more email improvements in the future.
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.
- ianf ⌘
ianf: approve/reject is only for private feeds. Public feeds just have a link to subscribe back :)
- Benjamin Golub
I noticed this one! Such informations about people who subscribe to me on FriendFeed are useful, and makes it easy to quickly get in the conversation. Thanks for the good job!
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
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.

pstp bev prohib "The cost of enforcing Prohibition was high, and the lack of tax revenues on alcohol (some $500 million annually nationwide)[citation needed] affected government coffers. When repeal of Prohibition occurred in 1933, organized crime lost nearly all of its black market alcohol profits in most states (states still had the right to enforce their own laws concerning alcohol consumption) because of competition with low-priced alcohol sales at legal liquor stores. Prohibition had a notable effect on the alcohol brewing industry in the United States. When Prohibition ended, only half the breweries that previously existed reopened. The post-Prohibition period saw the introduction of the American lager style of beer, which dominates today. 4 -14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki......

The history of civics dates back to the earliest theories of civics by Confucius in ancient China and Plato in ancient Greece.

With Paul's departure from Facebook today (November 12, 2010), I've heard several FFers talk about who's still at Facebook. I've seen various different numbers, none of which I think are accurate. This is my attempt to be more accurate. Information comes from publicly available sources where available. I drew on the list of FF employees from http://friendfeed.com/about... and http://blog.friendfeed.com/.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Overall status as of November 2010: Of the 14 people who were ever FriendFeed employees, 8 are still at Facebook (Ana Y., Ben G., Bret T., Casey M., Dan H., Jim N., Sanjeev S., and Tudor B), 5 have departed from Facebook (Ben D., Gary B., Kevin F., Paul B., Ross M.), and 1 is unknown (Goutham P.).
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
OK, took some editing but I think the above is accurate. If anyone knows where Ross M. or Goutham P. are now, please let me know!

Updated Jim's entry. He's apparently left Facebook. (I think I remember him confirming this when I had lunch with him last month!)

So, of the 12 official FriendFeed employees: Currently, 5 of 12 are still at Facebook (Ana Y., Ben G., Casey M., Sanjeev S., and Tudor B), and 7 of 12 have departed from Facebook (Ben D., Bret T., Dan H., Gary B., Jim N., Kevin F., Paul B.).

I like Block's Matt Scudder series. He wrote porn in his early years and kind of played with that genre in the standalone Small Town, which I liked with reservations. (Could have done without the extended sex scenes, but as a post-9/11 tribute to New York it's dandy.) I admit I really dislike that cover. I wouldn't remove or cover the book but I might make a face whenever I looked at it.

everytime I see this cover in LSW I wonder what sort of internet room I've been transported to... then I realize where I am

Oh man. I missed the point that this book wasn't written in the 1970s. What is up with that font?
- Laura Krier
INORITE?! I am totes lodging a complaint about that!
- RepoRat
Remember this one, folks? Just got ANOTHER complaint, this time asking that we take this "pornographic" book away from where "impressionable teenage boys" can see it.
- laura x
Impressionable teenage boys have NO BUSINESS seeing typography that bad!
- RepoRat
I keep thinking she will change her mind and decide to go prep some dinner with that knife -- impressionable teenage boys are also learning all sorts of bad habits about food utensil cleanliness.

Indeed, I do. I was so jealous when someone posted from the west coast about eating crepes filled with Nutella, whipped cream and strawberries, but there was nowhere I could go for that. I was in Cincinnati yesterday and took advantage of Jungle Jim's proximity to pick up some things I can't find in town, and when I saw crepes (which I will NOT make myself), I nabbed 'em! Now I need the other three ingredients.

Reckon the comments in mutiple languages, I think the love for Nutella is a worldwide phenoma. <3 I think Nutella is the key to world peace. ;)

Nope. Neither the chocolate nor the hazelnut flavor seems to pop out to me, it just tastes sweet. I'd rather have the fresh ground chocolate peanut butter from Whole Foods.

Keyko, stop rebumping same old posts. Now Nutella makes me throw up. Would you still like something that you see 3/4 times per day?

Hi :) I'll write recipes with nutella a.s.a.p :P

No, it's disgusting. The worst such hazelnut cream produced, sticky, oversweet and at the same time flavorless. There are bunches of much better similar creams around, not necessarly hugely more costly: Novi cream is hugely better and still in the same price range!
- Alice Twain
Alice come on... a little spoon of Nutella could make you less ... :P
- Eta e basta
use translate button keiko :) (I know It doesn't perfect)
- SanalMutfak (M)
@Eta, nutella is disgusting. not hazelnut creams. The point is that nutella has next to no hazelnut in, that's part of what makes it so bad. Again, try some better hazelnut creams, stuff that does not feel like sugary glue in your mouth but rather is silky with a distinct taste of toasted hazelnut. You will taste the difference.

In Italian, "Slurp" is an onomatopoeia, i.e. this word means that someone is licking him/her own lips while thinking about the goodness of a food.

"Look, I'm not going to claim that Luigi Cozzi's Starcrash is a 70s sci-fi masterpiece (although I may privately think so, at times), but it is tremendous, Saturday matinee entertainment, and remains one of my personal favorite intergalactic epics of the era. (In fact, I'm listening to John Barry's score for the film right now!)"

Peter, as you can see is a strange-shaped cloud.
- keiko-san
Hadi, in English pls ...... I don't understand Chinese ..... ^o^
- keiko-san
i did a mistake, those in the pics are "Cap Cloud" - Cap cloud or cloud cap is a stratiform, orographic cloud that hovers above or over an isolated mountain peak, formed by the cooling and condensation of moist air forced up and over the peak and lenticularly shaped by horizontal upper level winds. The cloud appears to remain essentially stationary.

The inner beauty of a Woman ♥♥
Like an oyster in the ocean,
its outer shell so plain and dull,
but when you look inside of it,
there’s a pearl so beautiful.
The most beautiful women are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depts. These women have an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.

خیلی زیبا بود مینا جان:-) این سخن در مورد آقایون هم صدق میکنه، فرا جنسیتی است به نظرم. مرد یا زن، زشت یا زیبا در ظاهر، بعد از زمانی چشم به زیباترین یا زشترین عادت میکنه و تنها چیزی که هیچوقت در مقابل چشم آدم یکنواخت جلوه نمیکند زیبایی و حسن درون آدمهاست که البته بس نایاب هست

Mr. Worthington can somehow get away with saying things that would get me blocked by everyone and then mysteriously found murdered in another state.

I so, so, so wanted to visit this area when we were in Madagascar but evidently its very difficult to get to and going there would have been our entire trip. We did see baobabs but they were the smaller variety in the south.

Um, that's ride and uncalled for and she can go find some other roof to shelter her if she's gonna be that way. I will bundle her off for you, if you require a bouncer. "Bish, my house may be shabby but we have a BOUNCER and dont take any shit."

She makes a point of mentioning it every visit. Couches it in blaming our landlady for not replacing our carpets or drapes.

How about that awkward moment when you tell her to go fuck herself. I can't believe the shit that people think it is okay to say to someone else.

Send her to my place, she'll think your place is a castle! Or else tell her if it's not to her satisfaction, she's welcome to do the work on it herself.

in 1984 there was a similar snowstorm. i was studying there, and remember people digging in the snow to get to the car. skiing on fifth avenue, etc. after the snowstorm we had a few days of sun and freeze, and new york reminded me of 'the great frost' in virginia woolf's 'orlando'.
