We had some networking issues that were causing packet loss over the past couple days that (we think) have been resolved. If you noticed the site being a bit sluggish, it should be improved now.
bret neler oluyor? hani ben yaşadığım sürece ff kapanmayacaktı..hani ff'yi benim üzerime yapmıştın..nedir bu dedikodular???
- aynebilim
Bret yavşaksın olum sen. 2009'dan beri hiç mi siteye girmez lan adam. Olum ne Fb merklısı bir adammışsın lan sen. İnsan merak eder ne var ne yok diye girer de bir selam yazar. Senin amk lan ben. Siktin gül gibi siteyi şimdi de kapanacak diyorlar. Kapatacağına biz Türk kardeşlerine devret kardeşim. Biz domain falan alırız, sokayım boktan domainine. Yönlendireceksin sadece panelden. Ne dersin Bret? Hadi kardeşim bir düşün. gerçi girmiyorsun di mi sen buraya. Hay mk ya.

Hi Bret, we recently heard that you're shutting down Friendfeed - is this true? Please clarify this for the sake of FF Turkish Community :)
- DenizTuran
You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!
- Bret Taylor
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"?
- 0M0M
from email
This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)
- Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!
- Jim Connolly
awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :)
- Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..

I think there were a bunch of spam comments made to some 2009-era posts by FF employees. For some reason even after the spam is nuked, the post stays bumped.

Yes, I blocked a spammer that was bumping old posts about FF themes and what not.
- Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
Well, let's see this as an opportunity to raise a virtual glass to Ben and FriendFeed-that-was!

It probably had something to do with the Tornado 2.2 release. I noticed Ben was the one who posted about the release on HN earlier. Edit: Or it could have just been a spammer. *shrugs*
- Gimminy
I don't think it had anything to do with the tornado release - a spammer bumped a bunch of Bret's old posts today.

"As a devoted FriendFeed user, I have tried to convince all of my friends and family to join the site, but a handful of them never quite got their accounts set up properly. With our new Recommend friends feature, I can fix their FriendFeed experience by recommending subscriptions to them." Try it out at http://friendfeed.com/friends...
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else.
- FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you.
- Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible.
- FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it.
- Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about?
- Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like....
- FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug.
- Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog.
- Bret Taylor
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us?
- Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender?
- Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed.
- Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended
- Bret Taylor
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical)
- Meryn Stol
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant.
- FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.
- Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn)
- Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations

Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :)

If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

Miss Moxie is so smart. I set a ring tone for people I know, and have a default ring tone for random calls or for when someone rings my intercom at the front door. (about 75% of the time, when the default ring tone plays, it's grocery delivery.) Moxie runs and hides only when she hears the default tone. Fuzzy genius!
I had a dream several nights ago where I was doing a zombie run, only this one was with werewolves. There were only about five of us runners and a guy dressed as a werewolf was chasing us. I didn't really feel like running, so I dropped back until the guy caught up with me. He said "Um...I think you're supposed to run away."
Last night we went on the Winchester Mystery Tour Flashlight tour. It was great fun, but the entire time I was thinking about how I would haunt that house. Then at night I had a dream where I was haunting the house. It's a little fuzzy as to whether I was a real ghost haunting it, or just me turning it into a Haunted House. Either way I was...
... dressed in a old fashioned grey frock, and I was very pale. I found a spot to hide and when people came along I was going "woooo hoooo haaaa woooo" at them. In my dream I remember thinking I wasn't doing it loud enough to startle them so the next time I tried for louder. Well louder seems to have equated to actually making the noise out loud for real and quite loud. So loud that I half woke myself up and woke Kevin up fully. He then woke me the rest of the way up to find out if I was okay. Opps! Guess I shouldn't haunt in my sleep.

I think I've posted about it before but I've had for all of my life a ridiculous obsession with weird architecture. When I was a kid, a friend of my father's had a house which had a staircase that went to a door that opened up outside to nothing (they had a separate garage with a rec room on top and there was originally supposed to be a connecting hallway between the two buildings)....

You'd like it Akiva. If you actually want to see everything I would not recommend the flash light tour. The flash light tour is not signifcantly different from the regular, but it is a neat way to see the mansion. I think they should do more to make if different from the normal tour, but that is okay. It is a definite must see. Growing up I had a door in my closet that lead into a hole...

The restless sleep no doubt helped form a very entertaining, though violent dream that can only be described as a freaks and geeks coming of age / in over their heads movie as directed by Quentin Tarantino.
I feel really bad for the mostly innocent third parties who were eliminated by the stoner who be cleaner.
- Michael W. May
Another entertaining dream had to do with taking a driving tour of a couple of connected dreamscapes I'd not dreamt of in quite awhile. Time had passed, things were run down, grass overgrowning rusted things. It was rather like the difference in the Flint of the early 70s and the Flint of now. I wonder if that will remain so when next I dream those settings.

"Backing up Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis, Lin should learn a lot from these guys and provide some solid and efficient minutes off the bench. " - that's all well and good, but Monta Ellis is not exactly the mentor I'd want.

It's pretty exciting he'll be actually playing and getting good minutes.
- Rodfather
chris, last I remember hearing about Ellis and the Warriors (I'm more a casual fan than a diehard) was a couple of years ago, when he was tearing it up in the playoffs. What happened since then?
- Andrew C (✓)
Monta Ellis and Curry are still young so won't provide much mentoring besides working by example. Monta was still recovering from his knee injury a few years ago. This whole organization is work in progress at point. I hope the new owner and management will turn things around.
- Rodfather
...if the front office (new ownership) sets the right tone, it could be a good place for young player, but generally, if Nelly is still the coach, it will be tough, as that coach doesn't have a positive history with developing players

Yep, Nellie doesn't like to play young guys. I was hoping Nellie would be gone by the beginning of the season. He's going to have to play him since he's the backup PG though.
- Rodfather
Andrew, there was the moped incident, the negative comments he made after the W's drafted Curry, the injury problems, etc. I think he's still a bit immature to be tabbed a leader, but that could still change because as Rod mentioned, he's still young.

That just illustrates the fact that there isn't a lot of surface fresh water in the world, no?
- Victor Ganata
dont over-emphasize it - i think, that %20 is not by volume, its just by surface area, which comes to the fact that, if surface area matters, africa wouldnt have water problem, as malawi, tanganika and victoria lakes are in top 10 biggest lakes list:).
- İspartaküz
It's the most voluminous fresh water lake in the world, so if the 20% were surface area, which I'm pretty sure it's not, wouldn't it probably have more than 20% of the volume?
- Eivind
No, it's 20% by volume. Lakes contain most of the surface fresh water (as opposed to fresh water underground and in icecaps). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... for an eye-opening picture.

I made a small journey through FF-sphere. Just to see what other people did theme-wise. Whether they had wanted to be original or liked it more the way it was. So I jumped from 1 account to another by going to the 1st person that had liked or commented on an entry. Does it say anything? Do you have a theme that's especially YOU?
No, I probably made a mistake here. FFundercats is not an open account. It should be another one with green toy thingies.

Given how much cats hate water, how the hell did they ever develop a taste for fish?
- Spidra Webster
I imagine that they'd hang around harbors and shipyards b/c of the rats and people would give them fish. It isn't the best food for them, since they need taurine and I don't think most fish contain it (tuna doesn't). They were also sometimes kept on ships to keep rodents from the food supplies.

Then pause now to ask yourself the following question: "Am I dreaming or awake, right now?"

man, most of the ppl who liked this i haven't seen on FF in ages. maybe i'm doing it wrong.

for most of us we met here, stayed loyal here but the sun set long ago : ( what a rush of a time that was! now we find ourselves over at g+ telling stories of the good ol' days!
- michael sean wright
Meme-inless no more! always been an interesting world with you!
- michael sean wright
oh and... i do have some google+ invites left - email me nicefishfilms at g ma i l dot co m
- michael sean wright
I'm curious now - did google + make you come back to FF? Because that is v interesting.
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
yes, we did the podcast when ff was acquired by the book of face.. watched them absorb the real-time elements and i check in from time to time usually through this post as it brings back very fond memories. google + reminds me of the early days of ff - haven't felt that way about any of the social nets that have come since the facedbooked swallow up. heaven knows we've been on them all and they seem so ancient now -- quora anyone? google got it right with +. think it marks the next era for them.
- michael sean wright
Google + right now does remind me of the FF glory days and I am curious to see what happens next.

My girls romped and wrecked the futon, then crashed out for a while. Thought I'd get evidence that Madison actually sleeps - what a busy body she is! Love the "Why'd you wake me up?" look on her little face...
Another word and the forces will abolish all forms of Cilantro on this planet called Earth, message received from Planet Janet

Message to Planet Janet: you know you love it with cilantro, baby.

Now see this is the interesting thing: if anybody posts, then you have to. So if everybody keeps posting, you'll just have to keep up with us. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Debating tip: never try to get in the last word. Always give your opponent the opportunity to get in the last word. By some sort of mysterious karmic law, your persuasiveness will improve immeasurably. :)

Steven Perez isn't a Bunneh!!! As long as he doesn't respond.
- Gimminy
It's okay, he's got a Catch-22 now. Steven Perez isn't a Bunneh, so long as he doesn't respond. And we all know he refutes his Bunneh status.
- Gimminy
It was real hawt in the town that night! IF I EDIT 18 hours later like now - is your last still last if comments are disabled? A hawt question.
- Steve Cleary
Steven is a Bunneh!!! He responded when I said he wasn't. Bunneh's can win if they want.

I do indeed see where this is headed, and no sir, I don't like it. *calls upon the forces of Voltron

Sadly, the only Voltron to heed your call is the vehicle Voltron. And I disabled that yo-yo by pulling out the sparks plugs in the car feet.

hmm... 800+ comments on this thread, and this is my first, and probably last comment on this thread. I wonder should I read all the comments, or just post?

After half a month there must have been moment you thought it would not be a real big deal if you eventually should NOT have the last word, I suppose?
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
Ohhh, you mean that place, which is totally faked by a #viciousbunneh who was in cahoots with the government in taking all the alfalfa plants into an underground hidden bunker.

Now that I have achieved status of half-centurian, I request the next 50 days of last word in honor of my achievement of breathing.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Well, well, well. Has it been 50 days already?
- Steven Perez
I will allow you to have the last word. But to take that last word you are surrendering your honor to a den of sightless whores.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Eventually, the whole thread will go backwards to the beginning.
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
That sounds like more fun than I imagine you wanted it to.
- Steven Perez
from IM
It was a test. Honor is pride. A den of sightless whores is merely an event that you will carry forever. You have attained the 7th level of enlightenment.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
1203 comments, come on, you can do better than that.

Considering that this thread has only been around since August, and has been shut down for the last two months, that's not too bad.

2012 is just the begining of the 13th Baktun, the long cont calendar doesn't actually run out until sometimes after 4772, that is of course if you stick with only Baktuns and don't use the other 4 higher counts, I just think FF will end in 4217 on planet Tersanzar :)
- Tsali - A dude man
Ah, right thread. In that thread, it's asked what you think you smell like. In this thread, I told you what I think you smell like.
- Steven Perez
from IM
Cilantro, Strawberries, and Chilaquiles.
- Steven Perez
I think this has lasted long enough. We already know what has to be the last word, it's already in the original quote. I will put it as the closing comment. I think we will all feel relieved we can now carry on to do greater things. For ourselves, our loved ones and the world.
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
I dunno, the Akiva nipple-licking beach picture is pretty long, too. :-) Ah, and it looks like Mike Nayyar's last-word thread has more than 2200 comments in it. I guess we'll have to step it up over here, huh?
- Ordinarybug Heather
omg...that is a seriously long thread of comments....are you going for a record Steven?...didn't even open up so I wouldn't lose my page.
- ᏓᏰ #team Monique
beersage, that seems like an unfriendly comment. is it?
- edythe
Yes we are, @beersage, and you bumped the post so everyone can look at us some more. Thanks. We love the attention. BTW, @beersage, you may not be aware but the reason this is "news" here is because we met through Friend Feed. Those photos are from the first time we met IRL.
