A lot of the people I follow on Twitter also have FriendFeed but never use it for anything other than repeating Tweets. Why is that?
I used to be an avid FF user but since the user interface change I find it much less useful. I can handle a busy info stream in TwitterFox but not via a web page and since FF went all twitter-like I just keep in touch via a bunch of searches pulled into my RSS reader.

I've been trying to get my head around PeopleBrowsr but I still haven't really started using it. I generally keep Tweetdeck and a browser with FF running all day.

The messages that bounce between participants in the conversation can be seen as a wave bouncing between walls.

Is there any way to make an RSS feed consisting of the text of the updates from another feed with the link for each update added after its text so that the new feed can be used as a not linked one through Ping.fm, although still presenting a full link?
I mean, if I have a feed where there's an update "A" linked to a "B" URL, I want to be able to obtain a feed where the update text is "A B", so that I can use it as a not linked feed at Ping, with the "B" link not being shorted, as it's inside the update text. I want to have the full link somehow, in order to make automatic updates to Plurk from YouTube favorites with the video automatically appearing there.

TortoiseSVN for me, coupled with command line SVN, lots of scripts, hooks and Trac.

I'm a sucker for the command line, but the team here uses subclipse -- we also do asset management with SVN, and those folks use Tortoise
- Joe Rosenblum
Hmm, friendfeeders are ++TortoiseSVN, but I haven't experimented with it yet. I use emacs plus the command line when I'm deploying/debugging on the server, but Eclipse seems like a warmier, fuzzier development environment in general.

Just learned a new acronym about "Hippo": Highest Paid Person's Opinion. Bad for website decisions.
Gilbert Yap, Type Micah, Steve Matthews and 27 other people liked this
HiPPO is often used in the context of website optimization. Take a typical SEM scenario- Google AdWords keyword driving users to a landing page. How do you determine the best combination of imagery, messaging, call to action buttons, etc. to present on the landing page to drive conversion. For many customers, the HiPPO makes these decisions. Unfortunately, the HiPPO rarely gets it right. Website optimization is about using data to determine the best combination of factors on a page to drive conversions.

If you do not like the beta version of FriendFeed, can you explain why and what you would like changed to please you?
AJ Batac, mjc, Iván Abrego and 5 other people liked this
I guess it comes down to how I use FF. I don't sit in FF all day watching & interacting as things happen, instead I use it to catch up on the links & discussions at the end of each day.
- Andy Murdoch
So, the old version suited me better - it was static, showed a lot more information and helped me find people's accounts on other services. The beta wants to keep me on the page all the time, which is not how I work.
- Andy Murdoch
Just the idea of forcing everyone to use real-time instead of keeping the way it was, having the non real-time and real-time. Yeah, I can pause the real-time, but sometimes I don't want to.
- Molly, New Ears :P
Andy, have you used the pause button? Once paused the site is back to the old static state and you can move from one page to another the same as you can with the old site.
- Kol Tregaskes
I thoroughly love the majority of the beta release (especially the messaging system, it's very robust if you try it out). I'm working around the realtime 'feature' right now, but ideally I would like for each of us to have the option to choose how quickly our page refreshes, ranging from never to a every few seconds/minutes, to real time. That's all.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I just started using it and it's a huge change-- it would be nice if there was a document explaining all the new feature and changes, and how some of the new features maps to the older version (if you used to do this, now you would do this). If there is something like this available, it isn't obvious. People resist change and this version is a biggie. Creating something that will ease the transition will be key to keeping users once you roll this out.
- Kelly W.
Kelly, go to http://blog.friendfeed.com and there should be a post outlining the changes there.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I want the service icons back, and Rooms being separate from the other feeds in the Subscriptions panel. The rest I can live with.
- Alejandro
thanks guys :)
- Kelly W.
Pavan, I've suggest that the screen should not moving but the post you are looking at scrolls down when new posts come in.
- Kol Tregaskes
I didn't realize how much I rely on the service icons in combination with the user identity to facilitate hiding things that I'm not interested in. Also, the real-time updates without some indication as to /what/ updated (e.g. a "like" added or which comments are new) is very distracting. (Yes, I see that the bubble graphic highlights for just a moment, but the time is too short.) Also, real-time is nice, but I would prefer an option that sets the non-real-time as a default for pages.
- Peter Murray
anahita, just hit pause.
- Kol Tregaskes
A Stylish script in Firefox (http://userstyles.org/styles...) has handled most of the CSS/UI issues that I have with the new beta.
- Peter Murray
My biggest gripe is that I HAVE to hit pause. Should be the other way around. I should have to hit play to get the real time going. I dig it on the comments, but I don't like real time on my feed. The way friendfeed did it before the beta was what I liked.
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Jonathan, it's fairly simple to hit pause though, so I'm OK with it. Once you hit pause it is the old FF.
- Kol Tregaskes
Well, I understand you're okay with it. But the way they handle real time / standard refreshing every few minutes is going to be a deal breaker if it doesn't improve or keep those of us who hate "real time" in mind.
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
I'll also repeat what I've heard from others and agree with. The look to the beta is very uninspired. There's a lot that could be done with the old minimalist style and AJ Batac's script proves just how great FF can look. What I see when I check in to Beta right now is an eyesore.
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Tags to build a "Best of" listing would be nice ... but the width of the page is wrong
- LPH™ and his dog P™
LPH, you mean create you own Best of page? Could you do this with the advanced filters, e.g. filter on posts with 10 comments and 10 likes?
- Kol Tregaskes
Ryo, exactly.
- Kol Tregaskes
Jonathan, have you tried pausing FF? I agree with you on the look, if you're not using AJ's script it looks bloody awful! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
By removing the service icons they have made FriendFeed absolutely useless in terms of discovering new blogs, new services. They guide one to post only on FriendFeed, rather than on the blog that was posted. The point of FriendFeed was to track and discover friend's online presence, and this reformat is totally aimed at keeping them here. There's no point in posting here if I can't drive traffic to my blog (not that my blog is great or anything).
- Matthew DeVries
Also, the filters don't work right, nor do the rooms, all of that was well summarized in this thread: http://beta.friendfeed.com/solacet...
- Matthew DeVries
I would like the service icons and filtering by them back for starters. I think that was very intuitive and easy to explain to newcomers.
- Araceli
I forgot: the Rooms should be separated from the other subscriptions. It doesn't make sense to have them all together, making them hard to find.
- Alejandro
I don't like real time
- Vicey
Matthew: if you go to Subscriptions>Edit, you can select which subscriptions to show up in the panel. I selected all my Groups (Rooms)
- Alejandro
vicey, have you tried hitting the Pause button? It reverts the whole site back to the static mode you have bee using on the old FF.
- Kol Tregaskes
"Real Time" is annoying as all hell, and should not be the default view. Worse, there are several views that don't have the pause button or the pause button doesn't hold. Several functions - list management notably - have been buried so deeply as to be nearly impossible to find. I do not like that there's no distinction between rooms and people and imaginary friends, and I don't like being required to give imaginary friends their own URL. I miss the service icons.

Things I miss that I just aren't anywhere near as good in the UK (mostly food). Posted in hope someone will prove me wrong with a great reference :D
1. Yogurt. I don't know what is wrong with the dairy industry but yogurt is lame-to-vile in the UK (and even worse in the US). If you don't believe me go buy some next time you are visiting France - just have a look at the yogurt and dairy dessert isle and you'll get a hint. I think in part it is because UK yogurt is almost always nearly fat free and with sweetener but even when I find half-fat or full fat yogurt it is far from having the texture and flavor I can get from almost any yogurt in france or germany. *sigh*
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
2. Fruit and Veg. Again, go to a market or supermarket in Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, Belgium (anywhere) and compare with what you get here. Far less choice, and more expensive. Yes, it probably started because the UK is an Island but nowadays it is not any harder or more expensive to ship fruit to the UK than to Denmark. (My personal gripe is apricots, been known to bring crates of 10kgs back from the continent :D) There are a few exceptions: apples and some plumbs, potatoes, swede & co, cabbage.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
3. Veal - I know there is some somewhere but butchers, even very good ones, just don't carry it. So no osso bucco for us :(
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I'll explain the yogurt problem. UK/US didn't get into yogurt till the 70's, as a diet food (came along with the cottage cheese craze). That's why it's almost always low fat or fat free. Plain yogurt is difficult to find in small containers because it generally is sold as a substitute for full fat sour cream, but getting harder to find even in the larger containers because of the...
more...
- April Russo (app103)
At least it explains it, but there's just no excuse for calling powdered milk solids mixed with a gelatinous base "yogurt" - most of them have no ferments involved so technically couldnt be called yogurt. And I agree with you, greek and bulgarian yogurt are just the best (the french call them "bulgare" style too)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
4. Stewing meat. It seems that there are about 5 cuts of meat on each animal, in the UK. What happens to the bits that have more flavour (but also more texture) - the ones that make great stews or hotpot etc. Does it all go to industrial food production? Or how do I need to explain it to the butcher to get the right meat?
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle for veg and meat you must go to a large indoor market if there's one near you. The difference in price, freshness and flavour is astounding. I don't know if Bradford has a good market, but if not try Leeds. There's some great stuff there if you look hard enough (and can carry it home).

Re: Woobius Scribbles — Document control - how hard can it be? - http://www.woobius.com/scribbl...
"The only successful document control I've ever seen implemented was based around document reference identifiers. Every document (and piece of source code and email and so on) had a reference like this: CO/PR/TY/00001/V Where: CO - company identifier (companies change names more often than you imagine) PR - project identifier TY - document type. There were about 200 different document types but most people only ever dealt with about 6 and we could remember those off by heart. 00001 - a "next-out number" taken from a big register kept for each project. V - version number The system was imple enough that it would work for paper as easily as electronic documents. People actually used because it was simple and they could immediately see the benenfits."
