As with Twitter, the mix of voices will change with the # of people you follow. - Louis Gray

"A-Lister Feed" - Susan Beebe

Thanks :) And that's with a whole lot of workarounds! I wish there was an easy way to convert the JSON entries output to the HTML you're compiling server-side. But I'm halfway there, so no biggie - Aviv

Way cool!!! - Deepak

Once I perfect this one with the JSON calls for fetching multiple users, I'll continue the filters for comments threshold detection, entry age, new replies + notification on threads where you're active, and a whole bunch of other ones. And can imagine people want to take FF to the desktop?! ;) - Aviv

Awesome job! - Benjamin Golub

I would like filters by type...e.g. just want to look at Google reader shared items, just want to exclude Twitter, just want to look at items with comments, etc. - Elliott Ng

You've got engtech's by service filter. I have a "mute twitter" quick button (will be part of the next Filters package)... too many things to do! - Aviv

The Filters series is going to be quite powerful. I want to combine friend filters + search filters + comments/likes/activity monitoring... once I get the JSON>>HTML going, quite a bit will be possible - Aviv

JSON to HTML shouldn't be that hard....you could even do something fancy like analyze the current HTML structure and try to mimic it so that if FriendFeed ever changes anything you won't need to push out a new script. - Benjamin Golub

By the way, if you're using Sticky Search (and you should) - get the updated version which fixes the div overlay issue - Aviv

Yeah it's fairly easy.. then I use the FF calls to inject comments, etc. - Aviv

I am getting challenged for a user name and password - Michael Carter

That's not from the script - it's friendfeed.com/api for some reason - Aviv

Same here with username and password - Henry Burger

Not sure If I like this...It breaks up the stream of thought I get @ FF. Plus the pic above isn't progressive,"Who would you like to add to "Top-B-Listers"?" I thought we were past that.... - Anthony Farrior

I think it's useful when you just want to scan FF real quick and catch up with the rest later, or follow certain people at different times of the day, or track a bunch of people who share some common grounds (ie same employer, working on the same project, living in the same place, etc.) Later versions will include the ability to add additional filters such as services (ie one group where you can easily dig up all family photos on Flickr/Picasa). & Top-B-Listers was just an example I personally found amusing - Aviv

btw, is anyone still having issues with the user/pass when accessing friendfeed.com/api ? - Aviv

Bret - Send this guy some incentive. (Hire him?) This really is neat :) - Charlie Anzman

This is absolutely amazing and give friendfeed a huge usability push! - Thomas Hoppe

Does the "edit"-link work on someones group-feed? - Thomas Hoppe

Thanks Aviv, this is great. I'm still getting asked for the API credentials, yes. - Mitch

I'm not seeing the "Most interesting" group - Mike Reynolds

Very cool. - engtech

@elliotng: The latest version of my Friend Feed By Service script has a mute Twitter button. http://internetducttape.com/20... - engtech

Thanks for the feedback everyone. There's an updated version in the works (with the edit button actually working ;). Stay tuned... - Aviv

Added keyword filtering.. now that's sweet. Now, for example, one can create a group that catches all items that _discuss_ "Twitter" or whatever. Next is source-filtering - all NY Times items, etc. I love FF. (btw, not available just yet in the released version. Refactoring the code a bit and adding the new stuff) - Aviv

I still stand by it: Aviv should be hired. :-) - Voyagerfan5761

Aviv, will the "Mute twitter" button work on the public feeds as well as my friends tab? - Slippy Lane

Updated script is available (v0.8), please install. Includes a few bug fixes (most importantly one that will probably delete any groups previously created upon the next refresh of the Most Interesting people fetch (once every 24 hours). Other improvements include the addition of Imaginary Friends, as suggested to me by engtech (thanks again!) - they are now available in the drop-down box and can be added to any groups. They will appear on the next Friends refresh (once every hour). - Aviv

Please also let me know if for some reason the update via userscripts crashes Firefox. It happened a couple of times, and it could be related to the new 2.0.0.14 Firefox update that just became available. Waiting for feedback :) - Aviv

Aviv is there a way to add people from their user pages? i'd be happy with a pop up where i just can add a group to this person, but would have to remove it from the group editing. If easier: make popup with all available groups to either check or not check. Also - how do I backup my group work? :)) plus: awesome work again. - Nicole Simon

Nicole, great idea - I'll add it. I still haven't released the updated version, so I think this one will make it in... btw, one improvement is the ability to pick specific services when creating groups. I'll also give the backup option some thought. One option I came up with a while ago was to use imaginary friends for persistent storage, which would enable you to reload your groups from any computer. There are easier alternatives, but I think I'll go this route anyway.. Thanks for the suggestions! - Aviv

New version is available - adding the ability to select specific services and as Nicole suggested - it now adds a Groups column for each user profile where you can also add/remove a user from a particular group. Enjoy! - Aviv

I love flowcontrol. ;-) - Roger Chen

.. it really is amazing. Two versions - one does the JSON>>HTML processing on the client, the other is being assisted by a FF API proxy that performs the queries and all processing server-side. Future version will only use the API proxy wrapper - much faster and more efficient - Aviv

This is really damn handy! - Bryan Tsai

Glad you like :) btw, TinyURL has been having issues all day today (returning 500 errors here and there). If some URLs take more than a second or two to resolve - it's not the script, it's TinyURL (it does retry after about 8 seconds, so.. should show up eventually). - Aviv

Aviv rules! - Mike Reynolds
