"What’s the most powerful, untapped information repository on the Web today? If you said Wikipedia, please go stand in the corner." http://research.microsoft.com/display... - Erhan Erdoğan
"Faviki's backend uses DBpedia, a community-maintained database created by extracting structured info from Wikipedia and turning that into a database which you can query.

"The basic idea of this site is that a brand exists entirely in people's heads. Therefore, whatever it is they say a brand is, is what it is. 1.2 million + tags and counting." http://www.brandtags.net/ - Erhan Erdoğan
"save hundreds even thousands of websites and retrieve each one again in seconds see which sites your friends found interesting join or create groups based around interests or projects find the sites you're really looking for e.g. Apple (computers) vs. Apple (fruit) "http://www.zigtag.com/ - Erhan Erdoğan
"Social bookmarking is a powerful tool in promoting a website. But going through all of those social bookmarking sites is very time-consuming and downloading all toolbars is madness!" http://www.socialmarker.com/ - Erhan Erdoğan
"Photos have iPhoto. Music has iTunes. But when it comes to PDFs, you're on your own. That is, until now. Now there is Yep and there's no looking back. Start Yep for the first time and it automatically shows you all your PDFs tagged based on where they were found on your hard disk. But the real fun begins when you start adding your own tags. You'll never go back to a hierarchical filing system again. " http://yepsoftware.com/index... - Erhan Erdoğan
"Notae keeps all of your thoughts together. It lets you tag each item with words that are important to you, not just with predefined labels. Then, when you need that data the most, Notae lets you quickly search your data by content or tag to find what you’re looking for." http://www.codepoetry.net/product... - Erhan Erdoğan
I tried ZigTag for several months. There were so few users, then I discovered that it was in development for years so I left. - Russellreno

It even provides special tools for fiction writers like word frequency counting and a progress meter to help you meet your daily writing goal." http://returnself.com/ - Erhan Erdoğan
Russell: I'm only saving ideas by reading and then sharing points that I noted. Ziptag is a good *idea* but not a good project : ) isn't it? - Erhan Erdoğan
Yeah I've abandoned Zigtag for now - Shey
"One of my favorite Facebook features is auto-tagging. It happened to me last night by accident and ended up being one of those very rare moments of using a product where I got a big grin on my face.

Tagging could have syntax to define personal personal tags "/Study 101/" and a community moderated (via up or down vote after addition) main set of tags "tech+/-, 2.0+/-, folksonomy+/-, /Study 101/".

Auto Facial Attractiveness Enhancement Engine
Auto Facial Attractiveness Enhancement Engine
This is amazing. I think we should automatically apply it to all profile photos ;) - Paul Buchheit
Facial discrimination? - Jason
Impressive. - j1m
Can I get one for the body as well as the face? - Dion Almaer
Very interesting. Hope they post the download link soon so that we can all play with it. - Brady Brim-DeForest
It seems as if the main problem with most people in the examples shown is their forehead is too short or too narrow. Wonder if there's a subtle clue that big brains are beautiful there! :) - Lindsay
@Jason - that's an interesting concept. Would you be more likely to trust the girl on the left or right? Would you be more likely to talk to either one of them at a party (or more intimidated by either one?). - Lindsay
Right one looks more dumb... - philsmirnov
Notice that for all the women they soften the jaw, while squaring it for men. Everyone also gets a slightly thinner face and upturned almost smiling lips. - FFing Enigma
@SB yeah and the forehead adjustment... almost like there is a triangle with the forehead at the point and they flip it so the chin is the bottom of the triangle... weird. - Lindsay
They are different women! Blame Paul! : ) - Erhan Erdoğan
impressive - accexine
Lindsay: whenever sketching generic faces, the face starts as an inverted triangle and the eyes appear a third of the way down from the top of the forehead; lips and nose appear below and above (respectively) a line 1/3 up from the chin. Looks like these pictures are rearranged to meet that particular school of drawing. - FFing Enigma
That is interesting yet odd. Seems that the faces are slendered with the software. - Jim Goldstein from twhirl
I wonder what would come out of applying their algorithms to face of black or asian person? Different countries have different concepts of beauty. - arty
This technology should be made available in eye glasses, just imagine how much better your work day can be! - Claude Betancourt
Paul - Think you should definitely add the option. "Click here to be beautiful without the expense of plastic surgery! .... and you may even get more 'Likey's" :)" - Charlie Anzman
Some of the stuff coming out of Siggraph this year is really freaky. How about combining this with the automatic video editing stuff? ;) - Joe Beda
without a doubt amazing. It's incredible how subtle the changes are yet massive difference. - Zee.
Huh, that's pretty crazy. Creepy, but cool. :) - felix
I haven't read the paper, but I wonder if it adapts to different notions of "attractive" (that changes from culture to culture ...) - Rui Pires
+1 @Claude I was thinking the same thing! Incorporate this software in wearable monitor glasses, and the whole world would be beautiful! I'll bet we can look for these on the shelves in the U.S. just before November. Social media and reality enhancement software have put Winston Smith out of a job. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
do i sense another manga-style meme starting? - anna sauce
So, if it turns me into Gilbert Godfried... what does that mean? - Ⓒⓗⓡⓘⓢ Ⓟⓘⓡⓘⓛⓛⓞ
You know, if these guys had gotten together with the realtime video+photo enhancement folks and approached the Beijing Olympic Comittee then that singing girl in the opening ceremonies might not have had to been replaced with a body double. (Yeah, I just brought three of this week's biggest memes together. I'll be here all week.) - Kevin Fox
The artist proportions were laid out by the Greeks as the perfect human, that's not being used here. This beautification engine, I think, builds on top of a previous study where some students tried to mathematically identify attractiveness. They had participants rate the attractiveness of head shots from yearbooks. What they found was there was a high correlation b/w the geometrically "average" face and high attraction. That "average" is based on the proportions of the di - xero
stances between the individual elements of the face and their relative sizes. IIRC the software adjusts elements so they statistically/geometrically complement each other. It's not actually working toward a golden set of proportions, but a set of proportions appropriate for the individual as defined by the masses. I wouldn't think of it as "facial discrimination" so much as "deviation from ones potential". - xero
I'm waiting for the first Facebook application that automatically enhances your profile picture like this. Every social network should run this on the avatars. Beautiful people! - Benedikt Koehler
Can you imagine the controversy if dating sites got a hold of this? - xero
@paul automatically apply it to all profile photos, huh? are you sure you ready for results? check my picture - try to see wonderful cossacks writing infamous letter to Turkish Sultan :) - A. T.
I wonder if they'll turn Mickey Mouse into Mighty Mouse - Dave Q
@Lindsay; A)Maybe/? 1=Left 2=Right 3=N/A - Jason
this will have a lot of practical applications to create a (virtual) world of beautiful (or more acceptable facially) people. - Apostolos Tsompanopoulos
Just a complicated high tech implementation of beer goggles. - Hayes Haugen
Chris' comment is sooo tempting - Charlie Anzman
This is what came up as the top Google hit for paul buchheit friendfeed. - Spidra Webster
I just read the first comment and may I ask why we should apply it automatically to all profile pictures??? Who are we gonna kid that way?! - ambidextrous

(19 photos) Today our four adorable kittens are having their little operations and then they come back to us for another week for recovery. In honor of their little snip snip I am posting a set of photos that Kevin took of me giving the babies their first bath about 3 weeks ago. Poor poor kittens, the water is going to get them! In order of appearance: Moxie (Black & White), Boomer (Grey & White, Denali (Brown Tiger), Nonny (Grey). - Photos all by Kevin. - Rachel Lea Fox from Bookmarklet
Looking back at these I can't believe how small they were only about 3ish weeks ago. - Rachel Lea Fox
I'm surprised your hands weren't bleeding a LOT by the end. :) - Ken Gidley
Ken, I had some pretty good scratches from these guys early on, but not too much from the baths. We actually gave them another bath a week later but didn't take photos then. They were not happy, but they trusted me pretty quickly (fools) so they complained but weren't too bad with the claws. I got them so young this time and I really think that helped with a lot of things. These guys... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
Yeah, it's really surprising how much they've grown over the last three weeks, both in size and personality. They were actually really good. They didn't like it, but I think they were too young to feel entitled to a dry world. If momma tells them it's time to get wet, "Hey, I'm the new guy. You tell me I need to get wet and soapy? I'm not gonna like it, but I won't argue much." A few weeks later and they're all, "Hey, that's not how the world works and you know it so let me down!" - Kevin Fox
Okay, off to pick up the babies from their surgery. House has been so quiet without them. Hopefully they are all doing just fine and don't even have any idea what just happened to them. :) - Rachel Lea Fox
Aww I hope they have a nice recovery! - joey
Kitties grow so fast :( (hehe I know, everybody does) - Friendfeed's Francisco

The new Facebook iPhone app (launched 15 minutes ago) is seriously awesome. Seriously. Awesome.
Oh good. It really needs to be better than the previous one. - Ragani Harris
It couldn't be much worse. - Derrick
Really? I actually thought the previous one was better than most apps of its complexity. Well, maybe you won't like this one either, but I'm curious to hear your feedback. - Kevin Fox
is it compatible with 2.x? or do you need 3? - Vicarbott
I've only played with this one for a few minutes, but it's leaps and bounds better than the older one, Kevin. My problem was that it would hang on stuff and the functionality would be borked. Good job, there sir. GOOD JOB. - Derrick
I'm pretty sure you need 3. Oh, and I had no hand at all in this product btw. I just like it. - Kevin Fox
Yep, just replaced it, and it fixes everything I hated about the old one. So far, anyway. - Jandy
It says I have no updates in the app store :( - Georgia
Oh, well whoever handled it did a hell of a job. - Derrick
The old FB app was top-flight when it was released, it's just that FB has dramatically redesigned the main site in the last X months and the mobile app was completely outdated. Finally we can actually interact with most of the core FB features. - Daniel J. Pritchett
It's pretty cool, although I don't have much use for being this connected to Facebook. The news feed section is what native FriendFeed apps should be aiming for: it's a great experience. Only thing I'd have liked to see it do is have inline comments/commenting: that seems to be avoided on all of these lifestream native apps, and I'm not sure why. Seems to work fine on the iPhone version of friendfeed.com. - Mark Trapp
Facebook comments are a lie, duh. It is pretty weird that random uncommented blips from streams get printed but the comments people actually take the time to make on others' stuff are hidden behind a jump. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Hmm, not showing an update available in the app store... - Brett Kelly
Brett: it's not available for upgrade, but if you uninstall the app and redownload it from the app store, it'll download the new version. Don't ask me why it does that. - Mark Trapp
I like it, for Facebook. But it still pales to FF iPhone interface for convo. - Josh Haley
It still secretly changes your privacy settings in some cases, I was hoping they'd fix that :( - Tinfoil 2.0
Even if you see "no updates," you can search in the App Store app for Facebook, install it normally, and it will update your previously installed version. - Stephen Mack
I'm shocked it didn't get denied like all the other apps I'd actually use! - Ace
Agreed. This is a vast improvement over it's predecessor. I'd go as far to say that it sets the bar much higher for other apps in it's class. - Andrew Terry from iPod

Baby Kitten Jackpot!!!!! 4 New Foster kittens and a new shelter!!! Exciting day! #foxfosterkittens
babies-2.jpg
babies-5.jpg
Show all
We now foster for two shelters, Palo Alto Animal Services and now the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. This is our first group with HSSV and they are just adorable. We decided to take on HSSV also because, well they asked. They were desperately looking for foster parents as they have had too many kittens this year, and Palo Alto has had a light year so I talked with everyone involved and so now we work with both. I hope it won't be too much to keep everyone's different rules straight and all, but everyone is so wonderful at both places that I think it will work out fine. These 4 were just picked up in a lot in San Jose, their mother is rather feral and ran off so these guys got brought in and I got called. Woo hoo!!! This is exactly what I needed to fill the little hole in my heart that Orion left behind. Seems to be 2 boys and 2 girls, but more updates will be coming soon I'm sure. My guess is that they are about 3.5 or 4 weeks old. We will have these guys at lest 4 weeks, maybe more. - Rachel Lea Fox
Some folks wish their cat would always be a kitten. You kinda get that wish come true. - Spidra Webster
SO CUTE! Exactly what I needed at the end of the hard day.... - Georgia
how do you all do it ?? I wish I could do the same.. have a foster home. Keep up the good works !! - Peter Dawson
God, following Rachel is better than cute overload. - anna sauce
Spidra, we do kind of get that. Except we also get the heartache of giving up each set so it does have it's price. Worth it though!! - Georgia, me too!! - Peter, it's awesome, and difficult and so rewarding. Thank you! - Aden, seriously, right!? - anna, AWESOME!! - Rachel Lea Fox
The first one is soooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - RAPatton from iPod
Aden, well right now they are all super timid and not so sure about me, but I keep taking short breaks from work and popping in on them and giving scritches and talking to them and they are getting interested. The all grey one looks like he will warm up first, the black and white girl (i think) is currently the most unhappy with me and the grey and white boy (i think) is an ostrich wanting to bury his head anywhere he can. It will take time, but they will warm up. - Rachel Lea Fox
Lucky muthda fru.... *grumbles like Muttley from Wacky Races* - Johnny
Awwww...Indy has little gray friends! - Katy S
Katy, totally... the all grey one looks a lot like Indy did when she was a baby too, except Indy's eyes were grey too! Here is our first litter of kittens with baby Indiana in it: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Rachel Lea Fox
Poor Johnny kitten... how will he ever get socialized? - Rachel Lea Fox
These are all from the same litter? What a variation in coloring! You are going to have so much fun! Actually, you are already having fun, aren't you? - Anne Bouey
Anne, yup, all the same litter. You can get some wild variation of kitten markings in a litter as not all the kittens in the same litter always have the same father. Here is a photo from a litter of 5 where there were also three looks, black and white, tiger grey and bermin white (one kitten is missing in the photo) http://www.flickr.com/photos... And yes, I am having a great time, even with work intermingled in. - Rachel Lea Fox
That's a lot of work Rachel, to keep all those kittens for nothing. God bless you. - Friendfeed's Francisco
Franc ☺, not for nothing... the love you get from the kittens, and the laughs when you are stressed out or upset, seriously, you can't stay upset when a kitten runs up to you or purrs on your lap. And it makes our kitties more playful and happy as well. Yeah, it's work, but it's so worth every bit of it. We love it. - Rachel Lea Fox
so true - awesome insight on pets phoenix - Ubuntu101 from IM
Rachel, that linked pic was great. Oops! I had not considered different fathers! - Anne Bouey
OMG, so cute!!! I'd love to find out more about your fostering experience, especially how you handle having existing cats in the house. BTW, don't you just love the new HSSV facility? - Rachel Garb
Lovely and beautiful! When can Jeanette and I stop by to snuggle the little fuzzballs? :) - Tudor Bosman
Rachel, the new HSSV facility is amazing! Feel free to ask me about fostering any time. I'll post more about our process at some point. Currently the kittens are on quarinteen as they just came off the street today. When they meet our older kitties varies, but our older kitties are used to Orion now so the transition should be easy this time, but these are also much smaller kitties and... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
Tudor, DM me about when you guys leave. The kittens need a day or so to adjust a little but we can work something out. - Rachel Lea Fox
I can't DM you -- you're not subscribed to me :| - Tudor Bosman
Just got my finger bitten rather hard a few times... these guys were still nursing at least part time up till today. You can see the stains from the mothers milk on the chins of the ones who are white there, and they are kind of unsure what to do with food. So I've been using Tina's suggestion of feeding them on my finger till I can lead them to the bowl. They are doing well but do seem... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
huh, I swore I was Tudor... well I am now. - Rachel Lea Fox
Finally got grey and white boy to eat, but I had to make kitten gruel to get him to do it. all grey and tiger have accepted me as their momma cat, black and white is considering it and grey and white is still reluctant but isn't fighting so hard since the gruel. Going well. These guys are showing signs of closer to 3.5 weeks old, so I think I will be getting up to feed them in 4 or 5 hours, just till I know they will eat enough. - Rachel Lea Fox
OMG - they are adorable - especially the little tuxie - love love love tuxies! - Bash
I adopted my dog Chase from HSSV. It was a good experience. He was classified as special needs due to being very afraid at the shelter. The foster family had taken really good care of him. - Lani from iPhone
Lani, his he still very afraid or has he relaxed. Any shelter can be hard with all the barking and people everywhere, very unnerving, but the foster homes can do so so much for the all of the animals! - Rachel Lea Fox
Oh so cute...I want one! I especially like the gray kitteh with the white nose. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
He is a real sweetie Alex. He was shy at first, would bury himself under the other kittens so you wouldn't see him, but now he ready for love and getting somewhat social. - Rachel Lea Fox
Chase is still afraid of various things when we are out. Low rumbling noises from trucks for one. But he seems to be happy and secure most of the time. He recently starting singing along with sirens. It is so cute. - Lani from iPhone
Lani, I just put this in another post for someone else, but might also be useful for you. Not sure if you have tried Feliway before but it is kitty pheromones which calm the kitty while in stressful situations. Might be helpful. http://www.feliway.com/gb... - Rachel Lea Fox
I'm in love with the little gray one. I want one, but then Louis wouldn't be able to breathe. Hmmm. - Kristine Gray
Kristine, they little grey boy is a little spitfire, he is rather awesome. It of course depends on how allergic he is. If he is mildly allergic sometimes exposure reduces it, it did with Kevin. His tolerance for other allergens is lower for having cats, but he doesn't have to medicate anymore. If he is a little worse than that, getting a russian blue cat could work as they have a... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
Thanks Rachel. I didn't know that about Russian Blues and they are beautiful kitties. Must get Sarah to give Louis big google eyes at him and convince him of the need for feline companion. - Kristine Gray

What do you think Megen? Time to start practicing? - Benjamin Golub from Bookmarklet
The bride didn't get to have nearly enough fun with that! - Rachel Lea Fox
awww... (did anyone else get a little misty-eyed watching that, or was I the only one?) - Andrew Terry
Andrew: I definitely started to tear up a bit. It just looks like they are so happy! - Benjamin Golub
What a sweet idea. Definitely unforgettable. - April Buchheit
I got super misty eyed. I loved that they had so much fun with their entrance. - EricaJoy
Hrm....nice, but now it makes me wanna do the Thriller dance up the aisle.... - Rah-PM 2012
I *always* cry at weddings, even with something this fun and whimsical. - Derrick
I wonder how many wedding rehearsals they had to have. - Gabe
I have seen much more dancing at a baptist church service. - EricaJoy from IM
Sean: It might be completely appropriate for them, their beliefs, and the people they invited to their wedding. Not to mention that I'm sure the church knew about it before hand and was ok with it too. - Benjamin Golub
Interestingly enough, when I showed this to my boyfriend, his response was "they aren't taking their wedding seriously." He couldn't answer me as to why serious equates to solemn in his head. I suspect it has something to do with his Catholic school upbringing. He denies that, of course. - EricaJoy
I was in a wedding where the entrance to the reception was kind of like that. The whole bridal party (except for me and the recovering alcoholic) was totally trashed. The wedding party thought they were really funny. Their friends found them mildly funny. The relatives were not at all amused. - Robert Felty
Speaking as the son of a man who got married on a carousel (I carried a Snoopy doll carrying a pillow with the rings on it) I thoroughly approve. Houses of worships encompass the breadth of society, and celebrate the diversity of the human condition. To say that they should cast even our most joyous occasions as serious and solemn is to be far sillier than this wedding was. - Kevin Fox
Meh. Your wedding should be what you want it to be. - Kevin Fox
+1 Kevin - EricaJoy from IM
++ Kevin a wedding should be about the couple and who they are. It should be about them joining their lives together. If that means they join in dance, then why shouldn't that be part of the wedding? Kevin and I took photographs of each other, our wedding party and our guests from the alter. Photography is a huge part of who we are together and we wanted that as part of our ceremony.... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
Well stated Rachel. - EricaJoy from IM
This is awesome. - Stephen Baugh
Yes, no one else should even THINK of trying to determine how others should get married, unless he/she's asked for his/her opinion. That's THEIR day. Why people think weddings should be dull events in uncomfortable clothing is totally beyond me. You'll have the rest of your life to get shoved into conformity. - MiniMage, enterRUPPted
Oops, now *I'm* doing it, sort of. People, I want to say I completely support your right to have a dull wedding in uncomfortable clothing, even if I can't comprehend it. Have fun! -- er, or no fun, you know, whatever makes you feel truly married :) - MiniMage, enterRUPPted
This was so fun. It reminded me of a friend's wedding last fall. The bride and her father did Devo's Safety Dance as the father/bride dance. It was instantly clear where the bride got her dance moves as well as her sense of humor. - Sarah Miller

Today, Google engineers announced a technology called PubSubHubbub that makes RSS/Atom more real-time, and they deployed the technology on FeedBurner. FriendFeed also added support for the technology, so if you have a FeedBurner feed, your updates should show up in FriendFeed within seconds rather than minutes after the feed updates.
To enable it for your FeedBurner feed: go to Feedburner, click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "PingShot" and enable the PingShot service. That will enable PubSubHubbub and send your feed to a number of ping services. - Bret Taylor
what, right now? i mean immediately? From today? - Zee.
Zee: yes, right now! - Benjamin Golub
Zee: yes, from today, though the technology is very much "in beta," so I am sure there will be hiccups. - Bret Taylor
Excellent, thank you Bret and FF, will switch this on now. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
WOW. - Zee.
Nice - thanks Bret! - Jim Connolly
RSS is back in the game... then - Yann Ropars
This is very cool - Edwin Khodabakchian
Once step closer to being able to build an open distributed twitter like system! - Edwin Khodabakchian
this has been done already by superfeedr.com - google's behind the game on this one, but def takes it mainstream. - Scott Magdalein
I don't understand. Updates won't appear on Feedburner in realtime, so what's the point? - ˈpɛbə
Peter: most blogging platforms ping Feedburner when you post a new entry, Feedburner pulls down the feed, Feedburner then pings the hub, then the hub notifies FriendFeed :) - Benjamin Golub
Thanks Benjamin. Alas, my feeds are not that sophisticated. - ˈpɛbə
We're still working out kinks so if you have any issues please send me a message! - Brett Slatkin
You lost me at "Today" I shall now just smile and nod politely - SteVe C
Where's the spec? - Dave Winer
Dave: http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn.... Edit: Brett beat me by nanoseconds! - Benjamin Golub
If I understand correctly this essentially turns any site with a feedburner feed into a real time publisher? But to read it in real time you need what? - BryanSchuetz
Since this is a Google thingie, does it work on Google Reader already? - Tarmo Aidantausta
FriendFeed can receive the pings *RIGHT NOW* - Brett Slatkin
guys, how long are we really talking before it should appear here? Seconds or minutes? - Zee.
The Reader integration is a prototype; more to come soon! - Brett Slatkin
no way, so Google Reader could technically go real time?? - Zee.
That would be cool, wouldn't it? =) - Brett Slatkin
I stopped reading here: "RSS isn't supported for simplicity." Laughing. Out. Loud. - Dave Winer
I better make sure i get post titles right the first time round..... - Zee.
Brett - any chance i could ask you a couple of questions via email or dm? - Zee.
Hey Dave that's my mistake. We support RSS! http://code.google.com/p... I need to update the spec. - Brett Slatkin
is that SUP's role take up by those rss accelerator? or SUP is losing a chance to propagate in this field? - huixing
Huixing: we plan to support all widely adopted real-time standards to make FriendFeed better. We are not tied to SUP only. - Bret Taylor from iPhone
Brett, why didn't you use the weblogs.com ping protocol? Your comment there about RSS, right up front, really captures the whole philosophy -- right? Let's just reinvent stuff that already works, so... Why? To break everything that already works? It won't happen that way. It'll only make your adoption curve steeper. - Dave Winer
Is this working for anyone else? Anyone getting near real time publishing to Friendfeed with feedburner? - Zee. from iPhone
Would you ping me (dave dot winer at gmail dot com) when I can use RSS with this system. I'll be happy to evaluate it and provide feedback if necessary, and endorse it if it works. Thanks in advance. - Dave Winer
Alright we've fixed in the spec Dave. Sorry for the mistake. Followed up. - Brett Slatkin
Dave you can use rss feeds http://code.google.com/p... - Darren Stuart
I agree why didn't ff just implement a ping server and just let people add it to their blogs? - Darren Stuart
Darren: you can use our public SUP in that way: http://friendfeed.com/api... - Benjamin Golub

Benjamin: thanks that just saved me a little work. Should be linked on the api page I think. ;) - Darren Stuart
Just enabled this myself, glad to be on the bleeding edge for once ! - Justin Long
Awesome. Just enabled it. Thanks for the details Brett. - Mark Krynsky
Mark, can you let me know if it works for ya? - Zee.
@Casey i can't seem to get it working - Zee.
Darren: it's linked from http://code.google.com/p... but yeah we should do a better job of exposing it. - Benjamin Golub
I had enabled from way before, let's see if the post I'm about to publish works. I'll DM you Zee if it does! - Jorge Escobar
can someone please let me know if they've managed to get this working? - Zee.
There's also a WP plugin I wrote that does the same thing. This might be a good option for anyone who's not using feedburner. http://wordpress.org/extend... - Josh Fraser
Zee, I set this up for my Empoprise-BI blog, wrote a blog post (using Blogger), and six minutes after posting I haven't seen anything in Google Reader or FriendFeed yet. So if you're not getting advertised response, you're not the only one. I'll test again at a later time. - John E. Bredehoft
cool...just want to be sure it isn't me alone - Zee.
Update - seven minutes after posting, the post showed up on FriendFeed (both in my feed, and in a group that receives the blog feed). Nothing in Google Reader yet. - John E. Bredehoft
Josh Fraser - nice! - Micah
John: The Reader integration we demo'ed was a prototype; more to come in the future! - Brett Slatkin
yeah, it seems 7 minutes is about how long its taking me for too (to arrive in friendfeed) - Zee.
Could you DM me the feed URL? I'll look into the details and figure out the issue. Like I said before, we're still working out a few kinks (the FeedBurner integration is initial support right now). So thanks in advance for your help in making it super fast! - Brett Slatkin
Ready? Go! - Jorge Escobar
Nope, nothing... published at 4:34pm EST - Jorge Escobar
Brett, the one i'm testing it on is http://zee.me/blog and the feedburner url is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/zblog1 - Zee.

If you're looking for another implementation of PubSubHubbub, I'd suggest you give a look to our http://superfeedr.com ;) Thanks for your time and feedback! - Julien
Heh, what's the idea behind the crazy name? ;) - Tyson Key
does self hosted wordpress natively ping feedburner? - Tyler Gillies

Nice to see XMPP more and more used on the web! It's a nice environment, also for cloud computing! - Egon Willighagen
Nice tech, strange name though. Wonder if Google has a projectname generator, feeds it some foundation words, and then watches it spew out 1,835391 suggestions in 20-sized chunks? Too bad they didn't pick up PubSubBuzz instead, rhymes better. Also, what was EVER WRONG with PubSubHubris? (fresh and full of promise). - ianf ⌘
This tech has been around for ages. It's getting much needed promotion right now, but it's not new. The name comes from XMPP's pubsub mechanism, with hubbub on the end. The option for PingShot has also been in Feedburner for months. - Marlin Forbes
I think that unless you have installed the pubsubhubbub plugin for wordpress, that feedburner still polls your content. It pushes your content out to other interested parties using the new mechanism, but it will still poll your feed. Correct? - Marlin Forbes
you can have wordpress ping feedburner under settings->writing add http://ping.feedburner.com - Tyler Gillies
great to see you talk today bret, thanks - sean percival
appreciate that - Hans Kainz
My feedburner feed updated in real-time but the blog post is still not published here on friendfeed? - Svartling

Our fifth year of firework photography, and probably our best! - Kevin Fox from Bookmarklet
Pretty! - Tudor Bosman
How did you shoot Glitter? zoomed all the way in, purposefully out of focus? - Tudor Bosman
My guess is that Rachel twisted the focus ring during a half-second or so exposure. That's one of our funner techniques. This was the first year that I shot exclusively with a fixed lens (105mm) and played more with exposure settings than focus. It added a nice dimension and let me catch shots in a way that I hadn't seen before. - Kevin Fox
oh my gosh! those are amazing photos!!!! :) how fun!!! - Erin "Wifey" Johns
stunning work - zeroinfluencer
All awesome, including the video! - Stephen Mack
Tudor, I'm really not sure exactly which things I did to get Glitter. Unfortunately I can't record exactly what I do for each one, I really wish I could, it would help a lot. Glitter is one of my favorites from this set and I have to say I have not gotten one close to like that before. I'm going to have to try and replicate that one at some point. What I can tell is that I was playing with the focus and moving the camera around in the air in addition to: ISO 400, f8, shutter 1.3sec, 300mm zoom. - Rachel Lea Fox
Stephen, funny thing... for a short time I was holding my iPhone to video the fireworks in one hand and my Nikon D700 in the other hand actually taking photographs. It was fun, but I couldn't pull that off for very long. - Rachel Lea Fox

Every NBA shot in 07-08 season
every nba shot in 2007-08.jpg
amazing - Eren Emre Kanal
I think there's something telling here - players are focused on hoisting up threes, working just inside the line, or layups. There's that conspicuously dark middle ring (I'm guessing 5-10 feet from the basket) that there are far fewer shots from. Either these are the hardest places to get a shot off (because of defensive schemes), or players aren't exploiting these areas to the fullest capacity. - Mike Nayyar
The dark middle ring is where you have to deal with the most defense AND you're less likely to get a foul call than driving for a layup - Roshan Vyas
Right. I think the inner peak are layups and if you're not getting that close you're better off with less pressure a few steps out where you can get a good arc. - Kevin Fox
I'm suprised about the corner 3s tho... that's a tough shot. - Roshan Vyas
I'm also guessing they're measuring release point, since a player's feet leave the ground farther out than most of those inside shots. - Kevin Fox
Corner 3's are where shooters camp out, and they're also the shortest 3's. - Dan Hsiao
The corner 3's are the highest percentage shot (both taken and made) because it's the shortest 3 pointer available. The best teams will exploit the hell out of that shot. - Mark Philpot
fascinating. - Alan Le
That's a pretty awesome graphic... Where did you find it? Or did you make it somehow? - Frankie Warren

This is total win. But an aside: how is that pillow thingy, or anything else, _that_ much fuchsia?! - Micah
Love! Make it fftogo on a phone and it's me at night. - David Cook

We added a 1-click login for Twitter users, so now it's easy for all your friends to try http://friendfeed.com
Picture 69.png
To RT, click http://twitter.com/home... It uses OAuth, so no password is required, and it automatically finds your Twitter friends on FriendFeed! It also imports your profile and picture. Big thanks to http://friendfeed.com/bgolub for making all this happen! (also, existing users can go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... to find Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail friends) - Paul Buchheit
fan bloody tastic! So we can post here and Twitterers can comment away without any complaints! The only think you need to try and do is bring in comments (about a share) from twitter into here! :) - Zee.
This is great...should help new users quite a bit. - Mark Krynsky
Bravo!!! Very nice! - David Cook
nice - Joe Azzara
thanks for making it effortless - Vedran Agovic
That's fantastic! Keep it up guys!! :) - iTad
I'm hoping this will help to entice people over here. I'd much rather talk to people via FF than Twitter - WoH: Minding her Steves
FrF + OAuth. Like. - tobe
Refresh your FriendFeed to see an updated first comment from Paul, including a link to RT this news: http://twitter.com/home... - Dan Hsiao
OK, I admit I'm dense. As an existing user will this help me find the folks I follow on Twitter? - Laura Norvig
Cool, is it possible we could have the ability to bulk import or non-FF Twitter friends as private feeds so we can track them in FF? :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Laura, existing FriendFeed users should just go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... and click on the Twittter (and Facebook and Google) icons to find their friends. Kol, not yet, but I'm hoping to add something like that soon (improved imaginary friends). - Paul Buchheit
Thx, Paul - guess I haven't been to that page since the launch. btw, I'm definitely coming around to the new friendfeed (colors notwithstanding). - Laura Norvig
Great to see the standards working -OAuth fro Gogole and Twitter login on Friendfeed - Kevin Marks
That's a great tool, Paul! Found a few from Twitter and Facebook I didn't realise were on FF...:) - WoH: Minding her Steves
Oh man, that is suh-weet. Works really well. - Laura Norvig
Paul, that would be wonderful, thank you. I'm keen to use FF as a kinda Twitter client. I'd love the ability to import my group I've created on Tweetvisor too but that would additionally require exporting facilities from Tweetvisor, and from asking them they've told me it's low priority (which is fair enough). - Kol Tregaskes
That's fantastic! Sharing with all of my not-yet-friendfeedified twitter friends. Thanks, Paul! - Eric Johnson
This IS good. Thanks for the hard work, Benjamin Golub. - Micah
this is fabulous!!! - Angela P.
It's so convenient for new comer like me! - tsssimon
Just tried it and it works great. - Iván Abrego
i have tried this too and am richer by 33 Twitter friends - jagannath rao
Nice work. Keeps getting better around here :-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
WOW! 313 new Twitter people! Amazing what the OAuth did. Amazing. That just completely Rocks! - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
That was just too easy, and found a bunch of Twitter people. I just subscribed, but I hope they participate. I'm sure I'll have to trim later. - Eric
Thanks for everything Benjamin and the others, that is really great. :) - Alp
I was subscribed to exactly 100 of the people I follow on Twitter. Added 93 more. Funny, this is actually helping me find people I *don't* want to follow in either place. - Laura Norvig
I'm looking forward to the "advanced imaginary friends" section which lets me as an existing FriendFeed user view all the twitter updates from people that don't use FriendFeed. - Brian Sloane
很好,继续努力 - Kunshou(困兽)
Sweet! - Don Strickland
Just posted this to my stream then saw this, Cool stuff Paul - Charlie Anzman
Some time ago I spent lots of time in removing my Facebook-Friendfeed integration, and didn't succeed, Facebook refused to remove it. Since that - no info about any other my services to Facebook, ever. - orie
Happy to hear that there will be an improved imaginary friend option! - Jacob
The improved imaginary friend feature will be great. No need to visit Twitter much then! - Pinksy
FriendFeed is constantly bringing new value to the service. I'm loving it! - Amie Gillingham
its relay cool - Kaspar Minosiants
great idea - andy brudtkuhl
Oh Thanks i was looking for something like this - Asahi
Is the imaginary friends feature completely disabled for the moment? Or am I just not looking in the right place? - Mark Jacobs
Mark: imaginary friends have been replaced by groups. - Robert Scoble
When is OpenID coming up? - Mohammad Abdurraafay
This feature is AWESOME :) Bravo! - Iain Baker
I just imported 8,000 new Twitter friends. Worked MUCH BETTER than last time. - Robert Scoble
Smart move guys. A quick way to grow FF users is to tap into the current hot properties. Can't believe other Social Networks are so slow to respond. - Neill Adamson
Paul, is there a way to sync it so that people I no longer follow on Twitter are unfollowed on FriendFeed? - Jorge Escobar
Great news on the advanced imaginary friends. That plus the ability to comment back to Facebook posts as easily as we reply to Twitter would be killer. - Kevin Kuphal
Finally! :-) - Richard Joerges
Not sure why this wasn't implemented a while ago but it's a welcome addition. - Jason Williams
None of my Facebook contacts are on ff. - JECO Photo
So how do existing FF members use it? - Tiffany Monhollon
Ca passe 50 fois par jour ce truc là sur FriendFeed ! C''est pas possible d'arr^ter, j'en ai marre de le voir franchement ... ^^ - Jean-Marie Gall™ from twhirl
Tiffany, existing FF members should go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... to find their Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail friends. - Paul Buchheit
Encore ?? C'est pas possible ! ;( - Jean-Marie Gall™ from twhirl
RT'd ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
@Robert cannot seem to do that with groups. What I want to do: Concentrate different RSS feeds (e.g. newswires) which do not necessarily have an account in any other social network into one imaginary friend's collection of feeds. - Mark Jacobs
Mark, "groups" (formerly "rooms") are able to import feeds just like regular users (and imaginary friends). See https://friendfeed.com/xoogle-... for example (imports the blogs of all known xoogle startups). The only thing special about imaginary friends is that they don't have usernames (or rather we assign a random 128 bit username). - Paul Buchheit
Paul, the DM option on imaginary friends should perhaps be removed. Also, imaginary friends do not show up on the search dropdown list when you type in their name in the search box. - Kol Tregaskes
Paul, is it possible to automatically create "imaginary friends" from twitter following list? What I would like is to read all my Twitter in FriendFeed; many of twitterers though are not on FF, so I have to create them by hand which is tedious. Also, it would be nice to allow to add them to some special list. - Ihar Mahaniok
Ihar, see my comment up in the middle and Paul's reply. Looks like FF are working on it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Nice tool, discovered some more contacts ! - François Granger
love this guys wonderful - Thomas Power
This must be the reason for all the new follows I've been getting over the last few days. Congrats! - Michael Fidler
That's actually quite useful. Thank you! - snapixel
Still would like an imaginary friend than making bunch of Groups to simulate peoples that doesn’t use FF. BTW, unlike the Facebook Connect login, when I tried logging in using Twitter, it made a new account for me on FF instead of opening my own (which also has Twitter activity added). - Natsuki Seika
ditto to natsuki... - Steve Austin
Wow, real nice and simply to add my Twitter friends :O - Rosenkrieger
Good move! - Lantrix
Is it possible to add this to a wordpress blog? - Arturo Pelayo
hi me sid m new member of dis site......... - Sidra Kanwal

Drool. I want an Aptera *so* bad, but I'm not sure I can justify it with 2 kids... - Steve and 3 other people
Couldn't they have made the center baby seat a kid seat instead? Just a little bigger? - Jared Oberhaus
BTW, these were just parked outside of work when I went to lunch, and got to take a look. They look great. I'm ready! - Steve and 3 other people

The Museum of Online Museums - http://coudal.com/moom/ - I have just killed a few dozen people's productivity for today. You're welcome.
I have to share this with my Museum Meetup group! - Lani
Let me know when there's a "Museum of Online Museums" Museum - Stephen Mack
Stephen: You're soaking in it. There's only one item int he collection so far though. - Kevin Fox

What's your favorite obscure keyboard shortcut? Mine is Command-Option-Eject to put a mac to sleep.
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Tab, Return - vijay
Fn-Shift-F11 to do a print screen while running Windows 7 in Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro. Obscure enough for ya ;-). It took me awhile to find this. - Alan Le
@vijay: Fatality! - Jemm
My second favorite is command-option-control-8 on a Mac. Go ahead and try it. It won't hurt. - Kevin Fox
Jemm, try it right now on FF ;) - vijay
command-shift-4 on a Mac (draw a rectangle as the bounding box for a screen-shot) - no name
WinKey + Shift + Up, Maximize window vertically (Win7) - Jemm
Ctrl-Alt-Down - works only if the Intel Graphic Media driver is installed, though. It turns your desktop upside down, use Ctrl-Alt-Up to reverse the effect. - Ray Metzen
@vijay: I tried it and the lights turned off next door. Neat! - Jemm
Ray, left and right arrows work, too. There's a checkbox in the Dell video driver settings to enable/disable it. We used to get tons of calls at the helpdesk until we started disabling it. "MY COMPUTER IS TURNED SIDEWAYS!!!" - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
Jemm, that IS "neat". But it's supposed to do other stuff too. Oh well, as long as it didn't rain Pink Elephants everyone's fine I guess. - vijay
Ctrl < and Ctrl > for moving through emails in a folder in Outlook. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
ha3rvey - yep, works in any direction. I've found though that the effect on unsuspecting users is best if you turn it upside down ;) - Ray Metzen
Ctrl UP/DOWN for talking to xbacklight. Sweet tweak! - Kevin Gamble
F11 for full screen firefox - Steve and 3 other people
Oh, and dare I mention gmail's (& readers) j & k & n & p. Those are probably my most pressed buttons. - Steve and 3 other people
@Kevin, thanks for the last one, it's much better now! - Лёша
it's actually: cmd+shift+4 space – takes a neat screenshot of a window with all mac's shadows and stuff. really great feature for a designer of any kind. I miss autoscrolling within the window while screenshoting, though. - Лёша
alt+cmd+esc ... or shift+s on boot-up so I can run applejack ... (mac) - Brandon
j/k on web apps that supports it. CTRL+T and CTRL+W on ff browser. ;) - AJ Batac :)
Windows+Pause/Break, brings up system properties. =p - Daniel Bruce
ctrl-shift-T to undo close tab on Firefox. It works in Chrome as well. - Alan Le
control-. (period) in Visual Studio to bring down the smarttag dropdown to add references, etc - Paul Whitaker
ALT + F4 repeatedly - Josh Haley
I can't believe I forgot ALT-TAB and it's little sister CTRL-TAB. - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)

We made a new thing: http://beta.friendfeed.com/
Why does the visible text read "http://friendfeed.com/?bc=1" but the link point to "http://beta.friendfeed.com/"? Can regular users change the anchor text when they post now? - DeWitt Clinton
Even weirder, you twittered that. - DeWitt Clinton
My guess is that FF is auto-demystifying the URL same as they would if he'd used a tinyURL. - Daniel J. Pritchett
I think you're right, Daniel. It reads "http://friendfeed.com/?bc=1" on the beta, but "http://beta.friendfeed.com” on the old site. Which makes me think they they expand the 301 redirect in both cases, but just have a missing feature to replace the text in the beta. [Edit: 302 redirect.] - DeWitt Clinton
congrats Kevin! nice work! - Mike
Is there a mobile redesign as well? most of my ff usage is on friendfeed.com/iphone (although i use a G1) - Steve and 3 other people
I like it a lot! - Kate Schmidt
Looks great. Well done. - Ross
The redesign is either a good thing or a bad thing, I really can't tell. I really hate it, enough that I don't think I will be able to use it when you push it to the main site. If ff looked and acted like this before I joined, I probably never would have bothered with it. So how can this be a good thing? My productivity may have a sharp increase after I abandon the site. - April
April I think I"m right there with you. I want to love this design...but it's like you need a dummies book on FriendFeed just to use it effectively now without getting a headache. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Kevin, I just saw a "poll" post in your FF (it seems to have been deleted). Are polls coming to FF? Would be great! - Jérôme
First minute of trying it: it feels fresher! Maybe this is the beginning of a new design trend in websites. Definitely like the "feel". - Olivier Tharan

This may be my first blog post on the FriendFeed blog... - Kevin Fox
