Find Friendfeeders Across The Web - v0.1 - http://haochen.me/ffweb/

This tool finds all the sites that your Friendfeed friends use and allows you to filter the results by service.

Please test, and let me know if it works. Suggestions gladly welcome.
- Hao Chen
Wow.
- Rah-PM 2012
Hao, this is awesome! Remember how people were saying in the FF Feedback room, how they'd like services to be linked, but not important the feeds? THIS is the temp. solution. WOW. Are you going to implement a way to filter individually?
- Mona Nomura
It doesn't actually do that, Mona. If your account is in Friendfeed, it goes into your feed. Hao Chen is merely making it easier to get the URLs from FriendFeed.
- Mark Trapp
Looks great. I guess I'll have to look into Social Graph API a bit deeper. It's so much faster than FF API for network data.
- Benedikt Koehler
Oops, I meant UN-LINK services so it'll stop pulling into their feed BUT still enable their friends to link to their respective accounts. Thank you for catching that, Mark.
- Mona Nomura
Great job Hao
- Zee.
It should be possible to use the Social Graph API to find services that are not imported into Friendfeed as well as friends' services not on FF. It's a bit tricky because it requires a lot of separate requests. Right now, it's only using the SG API to find your subscriptions across the services you import on FF.
- Hao Chen
Thanks, just don't look at the source code. LOL

You're welcome. This is me though: http://www.xkcd.com/196/

Very cool. However, my tiny brain is not grokking " Remove Connections Already Subscribed To". Please to explain.
- Laura Norvig
Laura, it's not very accurate, but it's supposed to remove links to people's accounts on the other networks you already subscribe to. For example, if I already subscribe to Bob on Twitter, it might remove the link to Bob's Twitter page in the big list.

Being able to sort the URL data output by either person or service instead of only by person would be nifty.
- Laura Norvig
Laura, like grouping all twitter links together for example?
- Hao Chen
it worked Hao!!!!
- R. Ferguson
How does that work?I type in some user name in it,nothing happen...
- Steve Chou
Steve, what browser are you using? Any JavaScript errors?
- Hao Chen
Glad to hear you guys are finding uses for it. @Russell Right now, the list of services it displays is the list of services being imported by people's FF accounts, and since Blip.fm isn't a supported service yet, I can't add that in easily. I'll think about how to use the Social Graph API more effectively to do those things though.

This is just excellent, not wholly accurate like you say but brilliant. Now all I need is to add more contacts on FF ;-)

"Google provided an unusual surprise on Saturday as it revealed that it's testing fully automated robot cars.

Test cars have driven over 140,000 miles of real traffic, going distances as far as San Francisco to Los Angeles where earlier robots have only driven short distances."

"In what could be a breath of fresh AIR, (pun intended), Adobe Systems today announced that their AIR platform has been opened up to Android devices. The Adobe AIR platform will allow devs to publish ActionScript 3 projects as native Android applications (.apk's) for installation on Android devices. The AIR apps can be downloaded like any other application from the Market, or 3rd party sources. This is good news for devs and Android users alike, as it is going to allow rapid development of some of our favorite AIR apps to our Android Handsets. Because AIR is a universal platform, devs can reuse their current code to simply port their projects over to Android with very little tinkering."

I can't remember; certainly not unsupervised. It's not like they're speculating; like you said, they were able to play with the device, and I'm sure they've had tremendous early access information from Apple, given what Apple's trying to do with it. Even if they didn't, there's a ton of publicly available information, and even more if you are part of the developer program. The only...

Doing a little more research on Newsweek's coverage of gadgets on its cover, I thought the Kindle coverage was interesting. A week after it was released, they had a brief review of the device, and it wasn't that good: http://www.newsweek.com/id... but the cover story was about Bezos, Amazon, and the Kindle revolutionizing books: http://www.newsweek.com/id... It doesn't seem like Newsweek needs to think highly of a device to write a glowing cover story.
- Mark Trapp
So the article itself was largely about Apple and the broad view of what the iPad means. Not quite as sycophantish as the cover would let on. That said, it's fascinating that Lyons specifically says he had doubts about the iPad during Jobs's presentation but those doubts vanished when he held one. It's interesting because the day of the presentation he went on record with a pretty disappointed appraisal of the device, and so far as I know he hasn't played with one since. http://www.newsweek.com/id...

It appears Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing got access to a review unit: http://www.boingboing.net/2010... If she did, I think it's likely that Newsweek got one, too. Edit: looks like every major tech journalist got a review unit: http://gizmodo.com/5506824...

I don't know why I find this fascinating, but one other detail; Nightline featured the iPad tonight and gave some insight into the advance access: they rounded up a bunch of reporters at an Apple Store, and let them play with it for an afternoon.
