AmpliFeeder - FriendFeed

Finally took a look at Amplifeeder. Would be nice to have thumbnail images of all the themes on the design settings page. That will make it easier to pick a theme.

The hosted version has them, but yes I agree. - Paul Kinlan

Fwd: We are still developing on the API, amplifeeder is officially launched and in the news (http://thenextweb.com/2009...), the good thing about Amplifeeder is that it is just a skinning engine for what ever feeds and data you have. Friendfeed was a good choice at the time for all the profile...

http://ff.amplifeeder.com/ now only supports friendfeed's oauth as an authentication mechanism. You can get your account at http://ff.amplifeeder.com/login

Amplifeeder on Friendfeed supports custom domains (see http://paul.kinlan.me - is the same account as http://ff.amplifeeder.com/user...) I am just curious for the demand for having custom domain generally available? Would you want it to look like your stream is hosted under your own domain?

For sure! The attraction to me of Amplifeeder (AF?) is to collate and present my entire online presence with as little effort as possible (for me and my readers/followers). If AF is to be effective for me it needs to show up in a search for my name or niche before my blog, Twitter, facebook, friendfeed and the rest in between. A friendly URL is the first (and IMHO essential) step towards this. To move a step ahead, how about an integrated ping service = even less SEO work for me :) - Twittergator

If you want me to show you how to set the custom domain up give me a shout. ;) - Paul Kinlan

How do you see Amplifeeder fitting with Google Wave?

Erm, this version of Amplifeeder is built upon Friendfeed so I suppose the question could be how do you see FriendFeed fitting with Google Wave?.... I am not sure yet, it will be interesting to see some of the things coming out of Wave - ( ps, if anyone can get me a Wave account I would be super interested ) - Paul Kinlan

What is the value proposition to me of AmpliFeeder? What does it offer me over FriendFeed as a return for the investment of my time? Unless you can answer that question compellingly it may be difficult to gain traction.

The need for a personal space on the web is not going away. Blogs and personal websites take time and effort to keep up to date. AmpliFeeder 'auto-generates' a personal space by aggregating your online activity in one place. there is zero investment in time. FriendFeed is awesome, but its not something you are going to point your vanity domain at. AmpliFeeder makes your aggregated feeds look good. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... - jonpauldavies

Defiantly, Jon has hit it on the head. We are providing you a way to point a domain at your Friendfeed stream and a set of themes that allow you to personalise the way your content appears to everyone else. An example I always use is that http://paul.kinlan.me points to my http://ff.amplifeeder.com/user... account (which is reflecting my Friendfeed configuration) - the only effort required is to point my DOMAINs cname at Amplifeeder. - Paul Kinlan

When you change the design on the admin page it would be cool to see a preview. - Kol Tregaskes

Design: Insight - getting test entries with missing service icons, I think there are in place of FF entries. - Kol Tregaskes

Design: Irresistible - love this design a lot, though getting duplicated pics from flickr faves. - Kol Tregaskes

Design: Interzone - I get a blank window when I select any comments links, e.g. http://ff.amplifeeder.com/user... - will test on other designs. - Kol Tregaskes

Admin: would be cool if we could post pics from the microblog page too if possible: http://ff.amplifeeder.com/user... - Kol Tregaskes

Thanks Kol... I will check these out. - Paul Kinlan

Just realised I probably need to put a link to the lifestream from inside the admin pages. - Paul Kinlan

Yep. :-) Also, I'd put a link to the service in the group description. :-) If you add the full URL it would turn into a link. - Kol Tregaskes

Cool, will get jon to put the link in. - Paul Kinlan

Do you think there it would be cool to have "groups" as a /group/*, essentially a lifestream for a group. - Paul Kinlan

I need to pretty print the date on your theme you have. - Paul Kinlan

middle click (open in new tab) is broken - Vezquex

cool, will have a look, I suspect it is because they are not hyper-links but window.open's - Paul Kinlan

There are some beta invites to test a new hosted version of Amplifeeder - it helps if you have a friendfeed account too. Post a comment here if you would like an invite.
