There were some bugs in the "Twitter publishing" code that caused some entries to get published on Twitter when they should not, and others to not get published when they should. I've cleaned up the code to eliminate these problems, but it's possible some settings were lost. Please verify your settings at http://friendfeed.com/setting...

I apologize for any lost or unwanted tweets. Please let me know if you spot any other problems.

Cheers for this Paul. How cool is it that one of the founders of FF still gets his hands dirty in the code. Once a coder, always a coder :-)

Thanks Keith :) By the way, if none of your posts are making it through to twitter, it may be that you changed your password. To verify, simply click "Save changes" at http://friendfeed.com/setting... and we will check that your Twitter credentials are still good (and sign-out then back in to fix).
- Paul Buchheit
Matthew, in general all the same settings that the old ui had are available on the new one (plus a few more), though they are now divided on to several different pages. You should be able to reach all of the the settings by clicking on the word "settings" below your name in the top-right part of the page (the dialog shows a few, and links to all the others).
- Paul Buchheit
You can filter by service by searching for service:twitter (or whatever service you like), and of course that can be combined with other search operators as well. See http://friendfeed.com/search... for more.
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks Paul, sounds like you pulled an all nighter to fix these.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, unfortunately the code had gotten rather involved since it was trying to support both the old ui and the new (the old ui worked on a per-service basis instead of letting you decide individually on each entry), and the logic sometimes became inconsistent. I simplified it quite a bit, so there should be less room for bugs now :)
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks, Paul. :)
- Josh Haley
Nice try, Matthew, I congratulate you on being awake, and carpe-diem'ing Paul here, but have to disappoint you - if FF wanted us to have favicons, they'd already issued us our favicons. Do you see any favicons that made the transition from earlier version. No? You think Paul nuked them by mistake... be my guest, and I'll be looking forward to the next couple of years' worth of your pleading for favicons when you could be learning to live both here and thereater without them.

I'm a bit confused about the "Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter by default" and "FriendFeed (when there's no Cc box)" options. Are these exclusive? Does checking the first one mean all my FriendFeed posts will get posted to Twitter even if I uncheck the Cc box?
- Tony Ruscoe
Paul, thank you thank thank you for the "Check CC Twitter box by default" option!!! That's one step closer to only needing Friendfeed. I'm almost ready to dump Google Reader AND Twitter now!
- caj needs a haircut
Thanks Paul!
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Tony, the "cc twitter by default" option sets whether then checkbox is checked or unchecked by default in the share box and bookmarklet. The other option ("when there's no cc box") applies mostly to the API and other off-site interfaces, such as email (mail share@friendfeed.com) and IM. For any given post, only one setting applies.
- Paul Buchheit
I publish to Twitter by default but now link directly to the source. I figure that those finding outside of FF want to go to the source (while those reading on FF are already seeing the discussion).
- Mike Reynolds
Hi Paul, about 15 mins ago I "shared" an item from FF here to "my feed" and "cc Twitter". But still not showing up on Twitter. Just thought I'd let you know.
- Brian
Thanks Brian. It turns out there was a bug in the "Share" feature that sometimes caused us to sometimes not send the tweets (the new code errors on the side of not sending tweets). It's fixed now though. Please let me know if you spot any others.
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, that did the trick! Thanks for looking into that. BTW, that was a quick fix! Just shared an item on FF and it pushed thru to Twitter instantly.
- Brian
Hello Paul, when I try to publish just my google talk status to twitter and have "Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation" selected, it doesn't send the tweet. I'm not sure if this is because twitter seems to be having difficulty right now or if it's the lack of a source link because it's a google talk status?
- ehaab
ehaab, publishing to Twitter was broken this morning, so no updates went out. It should work fine now however, including publishing updates from Google Talk. Sorry about that.
- Paul Buchheit
thanks! it was driving me batty trying to figure out why it wasn't taking.

The one I got for my dad arrived 2 days ago. Mixed results so far. No netflix instant app (yet), have intermittent audio droppage when switching sources (I have optical audio out to my Denon deck). Overall, it's aight so far. Was able to share out content from multiple machines - music, pics, video.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Switching sources...inside boxee, or ...?
- Josh Haley
I'm talking about switching content sources (e.g. moving from content playing in an app to watching a movie). I've had the audio cut out several times during movie playback too (from content streamed over the net). This was only using optical audio out. HDMI direct to TV audio works pretty well.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I guess I don't have that problem since I stop the playback before moving on to another source/app. But in theory it should play properly in the background. Hmm.
- Josh Haley
Will see how well it works as I begin to configure some local content sources and whatnot. Overall, I'm liking it so far. Better than the Apple TV anyway.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Better than Apple TV without any local media yet is what I expected and is awesome. I've been using Boxee for 1.5 years now on a htpc and am looking forward to retiring it/re-purposing it.
- Josh Haley
We are going to run direct ethernet line to the boxee box at my folks place since the wifi signal degrades significantly in the area where their home entertainment system is. We experienced some pretty choppy playback due to crappy wifi connection when we set it up last night. When connected direct over ethernet, had no problems with streaming.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Oh, OK. Yeah, I have a direct connection for my htpc and will use that for the b-box. WiFi is so fickle.

Okay, all this enthusiasm for the BB has me thinking about trying out Boxee one last time on my mini. But I hold you guys personally responsible if that affront to all things usable called the "Boxee UI" scars my soul again.

Well, if you're used to Plex, I guess I can't blame you. We are entering the age of total GUI customiziation for our TV watching, which is pretty cool.
- Josh Haley
I admit to losing patience pretty quickly this time. Boxee refused to route program audio out over the mini's HDMI, the Apple remote went wonky, connecting to SMB shares worked one minute and then failed the next... I guess I was expecting the OS X build to be more mature at this point.
- Roger Benningfield
Out of curiosity, what's the word on Boxee's smartphone apps? My wife prefers navigating Plex on her iPad rather than messing with the remote and the 10' UI... it didn't occur to me to see if Boxee's WAF is similarly enhanced by a touchscreen.

"We already knew that Japan was getting a 25th Anniversary edition of Super Mario All-Stars to celebrate the birthday of the world's most beloved plumber, now European gamers can rejoice at the news that the compilation title is coming out in PAL territories on December 3. The game's packaging looks a little different than the Japanese edition, but it includes all the same content: updated versions of Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3, plus the Lost Levels (which were originally released as Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan). The great looking box set also includes a music CD that features tunes from the entire Mario series and a history/art book. So, the only question that remains is: WHEN THE HELL ARE WE GETTING THIS? C'mon Nintendo, don't Bogart the Mario."

Very inspirational. The guy has done amazing things, and I definitely get the message - right up until he starts in with the evangelism. Is it just possible he could have achieved the same things on his own - or with a support system that didn't carry the Jesus branding?
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Hi Mary, a heavy duty topic worthy of it's own thread, IMO http://is.gd/g3Ik
- michael silverton
Mary, I don't think it is a matter of Jesus "branding", it is his testimony, it is a genuine explanation of how he's been able to overcome his circumstances. I don't think Nick would be the man he is today if he would have "done it on his own"

Kelly, I suspect you're right. Especially since he's a preacher's kid. And I really do get that it can take a huge spiritual foundation to overcome big obstacles. But just once I'd like to see an inspirational story that doesn't turn out to be a lead-in to a Christianity message. Are we - as a culture - as Americans under the First Amendment - saying that nobody can overcome great obstacles who is not a Christian?
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Let's see some examples of great inspiration from the secular world - or the other religious and spiritual traditions. For instance - Stephen Hawking has lived decades longer than anyone with ALS normally would.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Mary, Please rewatch this video, no where was this pushing a Christian message. I heard God, witnessing God. I believe this was more a faith in God, which is not exclusive to Christians. :)
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
True. I made the mistake of watching a second video. And - the language in the first video is the lexicon of the Christian brand: witnessing, faith, God's plan. Witnessing and the idea of God's plan for a person or a community don't exist in, for example, Judaism, and the concept of faith in Judaism is rather nebulous, at least in the Reform tradition.

Male Birth Control Pill: What's the Hold-Up? - http://news.discovery.com/human...

"The birth control pill turns 50 this month. And yet, even though scientists have been working on a male version for just as long, there's still no pill for men. So, what's the hold-up? "Men make 1,000 sperm every second," said John Amory, a male reproductive specialist at the University of Washington, Seattle. "It's proven to be a lot more difficult to turn that degree of production off compared to one egg a month." Despite the challenges, experts say that men are closer than ever to having the option of a hormonal contraceptive."

3-Parent Embryos Could Prevent Disease, But Raise Ethical Issues | Wired Science | Wired.com - http://www.wired.com/wiredsc...
Jérôme, Louis Gray, Amit Morson and 3 other people liked this
"Researchers have produced human embryos containing DNA from three people, a biotechnological proof-of-principle with profound medical and ethical implications. To accomplish this, chromosomes were taken from one zygote — the single cell formed when sperm and egg fuse — and put into a zygote stripped of its original chromosomes, but left with its original mitochondria, which provide each human cell with energy. As they grew, the resulting embryos contained so-called nuclear DNA — the 25,000 genes responsible for physical and developmental traits — from two traditional parents, and mitochondrial DNA from a third."
- Tudor Bosman
from Bookmarklet
That would be a legal minefield as far as tracing things DNA helps with: crime scenes, genealogy, etc.
- Spidra Webster
@spidra: I don't think forensic DNA testing uses mitochondrial DNA, but it would certainly complicate tracing matrilineal ancestors. Plus they'll have to release a new version of the book, "Heather Has Two Mommies and a Daddy."

FriendFeed's new "Include @replies" feature -- starting April 6, FF is reducing noise by not importing @reply tweets from Twitter feeds (unless the account owner specifies they do want @replies included)
Myrna, A Mitchell, scott willeke and 117 other people liked this
By default, "Include @replies" is off. From now on (starting today, April 6), if you have a twitter feed as one of your services, FriendFeed will NOT import any @replies UNLESS you check this box. To access this feature (only necessary if you DO want to import your @replies), go to http://friendfeed.com/setting... then click on your twitter feed.
- Stephen Mack
Note that it does NOT apply to @mentions in the body of the tweet, those are always included whether or not this box is checked.
- Stephen Mack
Ahhh -- cool!
- Jorge Escobar
Ahhhh Now me understandy.....
- Roberto Bonini
After Twitter implemented this I ended up using Twitter very differently and would send @replies very freely, but didn't want them to go to my 3000 twitter followers or my 3000 FF followers, so I removed my Twitter import to FriendFeed. Now that I can choose to exclude @replies from entering my Friendfeed stream I can bring the Twitter back!
- Kevin Fox
Went to check the box to include them, and apparently... "We could not find the given account". -_-
- Penguin
Penguin, I get the same error. FriendFeed thinks my account is protected, too, and it isn't.
- Akiva
Paul and FF team, this is very cool, thanks for implementing this! (And thanks to Kevin and Ben for pushing Paul to implement.) I really like that this is UNCHECKED by default -- that means from this day forward, no more out of context @replies unless the account owner jumped through a hoop for us to see them.
- Stephen Mack
it's a good thing I already know all the people I'll ever want to meet, huh? no need to discover who my friends are talking to. :( :( :( the fact that this wasn't the case on FF was one of my favorite things about the site. really. One of, anyway.
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Marshall, I see what you're saying, but 99% of the time it's totally out-of-context and just noise. That's how I feel about it, anyway.
- Stephen Mack
Clarification from Kevin: This ONLY applies to @replies that are at the beginning of the tweet ("official" @replies). It will NOT exclude any random @mentions in the body (or if you use the starting-with-a-period-or-space trick).
- Stephen Mack
Nice! Who said FriendFeed is no longer innovating and the devs are all working on other projects. That's more than Buzz has produced recently.
- Jesse Stay
The great thing about this compared to Twitter is you can still enable @replies. Twitter there is no option.
- Jesse Stay
Akiva and Penguin McSparkles, what is the problem you are seeing? I just checked both of your accounts and they seem to be working fine.
- Paul Buchheit
Jesse, let's not pick on the little guys. They're working really hard to catch up.
- Bruce Lewis
By the way, just to make sure I reference the proper sources and give credit: This hasn't been officially announced on the FF blog or anything yet. The feature was added by Paul B. today. FFers found out about it from Paul's post (http://friendfeed.com/paul...), and the feature was first uncovered in Kevin's post (http://friendfeed.com/kfury...) by Jason Fleming. I stole wording from Brian Daniel Eisenberg.
- Stephen Mack
Interesting counterpoint by Jimminy here: http://friendfeed.com/jimminy... and blog post by Johnny here: http://friendfeed.com/jworthi...
- Stephen Mack
Paul, it seems to be working okay now, but when I initially went to my services to check the box to include @replies, I got the error "We could not find the given account" after clicking to save my changes. After a few tries and a couple minutes wait, however, it did let me save the setting.
- Penguin
Penguin, glad it's working now. Akiva, is it also working for you now?
- Stephen Mack
Thank God, they've updated FF with something!
- Ciaoenrico
Penguin, it was probably due to Twitter server timeouts -- we don't always do a good job of distinguishing between different types of errors.

- Ton Zijp
It looks like you could create an 'imaginary friend' (now a private group) and import someone's public Twitter feed and get all the @replies, regardless of the setting that the user choses on FriendFeed. Yes, you have to work to @stalk someone, but it is possible.
- Ken Gidley
I'm curious if anyone else a) is trying to turn this setting to on and b) finds that the setting won't stick? It saves without an error, but it also remains turned off.
- Bill Mason
Bill, still seeing the issue? Try setting it from a different browser maybe?
- Stephen Mack
from iPhone
Yeah, I'm still seeing it. I've tried it now in 3 different browsers, on both a PC and a Mac. The setting doesn't save.
- Bill Mason
Bill, that's bizarre. It saves for me. What if you create a new twitter feed for testing purposes, does it save if you create it from scratch?
- Stephen Mack
When I created a new account, at first it didn't work. Looking at it, I noticed that the 'updates are protected' box was checked by default even though the test account was not protected, so I unchecked it and it worked after that. So on my main account, I decided to toggle the protected updates box there too. And it magically started working with that box toggled to 'on' even though my account is not really a protected account. So, go figure. At least it works.
- Bill Mason
This would be a good thread for a "dislike" option. :) Count me as one who doesn't like the new feature, either. I'd much rather have had the option of whether or not to see *other* people's @ replies. It *will* reduce conversations on FF that would have been generated from @ replies - especially from folks with large subscriber bases...
- Thomas
Yeah, setting seems backward to me too. I don't care whether others see my @ replies or not, but I do care if I see their @ replies. I now have control over the thing I don't care about and not about the one I do.
- Ghworg
The feature I would like to see is a way to mention FFers in comments by using the @ symbol or some other character but alas that will never happen :(
- BRҰANSAҰS
Thomasserio and Ghworg, I see what you both are saying, but really this mirrors the changes that Twitter made. On Twitter now, you have to be subscribed to BOTH people to see someone's @replies. I think the change that was made here on FriendFeed last week best reflects the way that Twitter works.
