The bottom of FriendFeed's page should have a "Best of day" link. That way people who scroll to the bottom of the page would be offered something new to do to stay on FriendFeed instead of leaving.

Why not just click on Older Items, and then you can see he same items you just saw (i.e. whatever items now have numbers 31-60) in a different order?
- j1m
j1m, at least the way I do FF is scan the page to see what's going on now, then scan the best of day if I want to read more. I had never clicked on Older Items until you mentioned it, and have to say I probably won't again. But if you had a "best of day" link at the bottom of the page, I would stay on FF longer.
- Matt Cutts
high engagement, poor recirculation. i imagine (hope) this will change in the future.

Please, bring back service icons near each post — it's very hard to scan information flow without them. Also hope you'll do something with new subscription module — it's unuseful while managing a lot of imaginary friends.

I think you guys should really embrace the idea of hashtags. Let us add them to other people's posts, having various services auto-tag imported items, let us search on them using filters. Tagging is one great way for us to get a handle on the volume of information here.
- Kevin Kuphal
What's with the orange and the green on the side? Its a bit ugly if you ask me. Also, is there a way to change this, as well as make the beta permanent? (I like living on the cutting edge).
- darnell
I too like the orange and green. It's the blue I'm not sure about. :-)
- Daniel Dulitz
I like the FF blue
- nouhad
Yeah, but it clashes with the logo. Either Friendfeed needs to change their logo, or get rid of the colors. Or (even better) allow users to change the colors. :-)
- darnell
Looks horrible to me, I think we should have a customizable interface more like iGoogle, I like the idea though, just more customization, like sidebar customization, friend lists, realtime widget, chat widget, all movable and arrangeable, there sure is enough space etc...
- Kyle Weller
I'm with Kyle and Darnell - I like being able to customize my GMail colours, and having that feature on FF would be cool
- nouhad
Ignoring 71 previous comments... I really like the new design! One request: allow the pause button to follow my cursor as a scroll down the page!
- Chris Messina
+1 Chris Messina. That would be an awesome feature.
- Beau Liening
Add a floating "COMMENT" feature at the bottom of each thread, so I don't have to scroll up to click "comment"... this is a weird experience in new beta UI
- Susan Beebe
@Ari: This is why I really think tagging is what they need to focus on. If we could each add #ffbeta or something to our own posts as well as others, you get the trending and other features that twitter already has. Combine this with filters and you really get some killer information management features.
- Kevin Kuphal
I really like having one UI instead of different modes (normal, realtime, miniwindow), but to support the old "mini window" experience, perhaps allow the right hand side bar with filters and subscriptions to be collapsible?
- Karl Rosaen
@Karl: API is key here. Twitter isn't massively popular because their website rocks. Twitter is massively popular because there's a massive layer of applications built on top of it. Build that for FF and you have the same potential growth
- Kevin Kuphal
I wish it could use more of the screen real estate of my monitor, given my normal window size, it has large amounts of unused space on either size of the content due to the fixed layout. Maybe a multi-column mode?

Is there a way to change my prefs over to to the beta so I don't have to keep entering beta.friendfeed...?
- Ryan Stanley
UI suggestion: there's a link to expand all comments, there should be one to collapse them as wel.
- Ryan Stanley
UI suggestion: after expanding comments you scroll all the way to the bottom reading the thread, then you have scroll all the way back up to click the Comment link. Why not have it at the bottom of the thread too.
- Ryan Stanley
Feature suggestion: FF needs a built-in way of referring to people publicly, just like Twitter's @. Perhaps use the same convention. But there needs to be a way people to address each other in public threads, so a user can make sure to be informed when people are talking or referring to them.
- Ryan Stanley
going to read through faq - roadmap of what made beta & what's going away would be nice - big concern for me is the lose of ability to expand lists to see individual participants - i find that one of ff's strongest features - that and block but i see from earlier in this thread that its will make it in later in beta (whew)...

A Pause button that follows you on page scroll could be more distracting than it's worth. But how about something like it appears upon a white space mousedown/mouseup event.

- Kyle Weller
Curious about how the new design will affect the iPhone version of the site...?
- Chris Messina
welcome qwerty. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Hmm, I tried to read this thread, but I never got to the bottom, because the unexpected shifts of the text just became too much after a while. Fundamentally, if the page keeps shifting up and down unexpectedly, it's hard to see how anyone's ever going to read it -- hence the many requests for a floating pause button, which would help. You could also imagine pause on hover. Being able to read down the page without having the text disappear seems to me like the #1 use case of ff.
- j1m
I like it.
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Of course, it's not really like you want Pause -- the real-time updates are great when they're below wherever the eyes are :-)
- j1m
Bret - Great job! There are certainly things to clean up before this interface goes to the main page. Rooms should REALLY be on the subscribed list on the right hand column. I would LOVE to be able to put Blank Lines in comments. I don't care if they count for a whole lines worth of characters (as opposed to a more common one character for the cr/lf) Blank lines make comments more legible and clear than just a runtogether paragraph.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I don't like how the interface STILL loses my place if I subscribe to someone while posting a comment (or even reading it!) I should be able to subscribe to YOU while I read YOU and not lose my page place. The Page should need to be refreshed to reset everyone because of the new subscription.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I don't know about the queued items, I like the real time feed, having selectable speeds instead of "over-caffination required mode" would be good. Most discussions this is irrelevant, but the discussion on tis new beta this morning (i.e. on scoble's feed) showed how insane that can be.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The real-time-only feed in the beta is causing Safari 4b on my MacBook use up a lot of CPU cycles, hence depleting the battery faster. I'm sure FF3 will too. Please consider an "ECO Mode" similar to the current standard mode, which only refreshes once every few minutes, for those running their machines on battery power. Without such an eco-mode, and with the rapid-fire pace of live updates, I fear that I won't be using FFeed much at all. Certainly not leaving that tab open for hours on end like I used to.
- Siddharth Deb
I don't know if I've done something, or you guys did, but when I look here, I only have a few services setup in the account, when I go to the old interface I have a LOT more -I'm not certain that everything is feeding through? (i.e. I have Digg and Disqus set up, I see the correct list of icons on the old interface, but on the beta "settings" popup, No Dice. Even if this is irrelevant to the actual data flow, please fix this to make me sleep well at night. ;)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
One more thing - Could we have a character counter in the comments? It would be REALLY nice, if my account is setup to post this comment to my twitter account, and it's going to post the link to this discussion, please Add the number of characters in the link (plus a space) to the total character count. That way I won't be truncating the comment and/or the URL when it gets to twitter.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Another thing: I used to be able to click the "More" next to a single discussion, and "Link to this discussion" Where is that? If this is an outmoded way of thinking please let me know. Otherwise, um...can we have that feature back?

I actually kinda like the grey... though it does look like it's an opportunity to let companies brand the background in some way.
- Frankie Warren
For cc to Twitter functionality, can the number of characters be a count-down instead of a count-up?
- Winston Teo
I'd like to second the notion that there should be a way to address an individual within a thread...the agreed upon "Rob:" works great, but maybe could be clickable so that there's no confusion as to which Rob or which Scoble you're talking to ;) (i.e. maybe a CTRL-Click or something on the person's name after their comment to start a new comment with their name at the beginning? )
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The grey background looks kinda dullish, and it looks like someone ran out of ideas for colours..
- Winston Teo
IMO avatars occupy way too much real estate now, I liked the smaller ones better.
- ✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ
thsi is nothing on the new design, but after being on here all night with no attention to a down twitter, I am reminded of this: It would be nice if I could set the post to twitter for comments and likes a) permanent b) off or C) on a per comment/like basis -twitter users say this "yeah, when ppl I follow flood me with FF spam ... I usually unfollow ... even block if it irritates me enough." And I would like to be able to be easily selective of what gets put through, and it would get more GOOD attn for FF
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)

@Stephen Mack: I'm certainly not willing to say it's the greatest board game of all time. It's a good game. I like it. My only complaint is that if you don't manage to get a good starting location, you can guarantee a loss before the game really starts. Other than that, it's a blast.

And clearly Race For The Galaxy, an amazingly great game, is a card game, not a board game. Not to disagree with Evan.

Catan, Carcassonne, et al., are great gateway games to introduce people to the wonderful world of Eurogames and away from the Milton Bradley/Parker Bros. stranglehold. However, there are far, far better games out there than these. Look into Agricole, Twilight Struggle, Through the Ages, and fun Ameritrash stuff like Arkham Horror.

The key is that experiments should replace endless debate, not complement it. And only promising experiments should be performed: they are a cost too. But what this the alternative: pick any shade of blue? Or let the Highest Pay Employee in the room make the decision?

I think I'm more or less alone in liking the new Google favicon. Yet I hate the new Pepsi logo (but of course, I hate Pepsi, being an Atlantan). There's something about the amorphous asymmetry that annoys me (yes, I know the Google logo is asymmetric as well, but it seems ok somehow).
- Joel Webber
I could learn to like the Google favicon, though the 'vibration' caused by putting bright green and red together, and the altogether Christmasy feel of the right side are hard to ignore.
- Kevin Fox
I also like the new favicon (certainly far more than the lowercase blue-g version, at least). I think the middle image above actually looks more like a piece of the old Pepsi logo than the new one.
- Laurence Gonsalves
ugliest thing g has done so far
- Min Liu
Great link between the images. Red and green, never thought of it but I made some observation, there's two sections of blue, which is a bit weird. And a lot of green compared to the yellow and red, probably to fit with those curves. (the bottom left corner of the upper part of the g)

I didn't like the original 'new favicon', but the current new one is so bad I finally started using the 'classic Google favicon' userscript.

im more annoyed by the change (for no good reason?) than the design. i was so used to the old favicon that for a long time after they changed to the blue one, it took me a few seconds longer every time i was going back to the google results tab in the browser, because i kept looking for the tab with the old favicon every time.

I actually kinda like the new Google favicon. At least more than the blue lowercase one. And maybe rather than 'like' I should say 'am used to,' since that was the extent of my feelings towards the initial Google favicon, too. I didn't particularly like it. I was just used to it, cuz it was the capital G. That's it.
- Chieze Okoye
Also, I don't think that design is good if and only if it's polarizing. I don't even know that I think that there is a causal relationship in either direction. I could get behind the idea that there is a correlation, but I've seen plenty of designs that are universally thought of as great (no polarization needed).

But in this case he said more on twitter than in the blog post title.
- Paul Buchheit
yes, but in the twitter message there is the need to point to the article, so this is why the headline have to be significant catchy and strong, in the blog the author think that he get his audience then the headline is less powerful.
- abdellah
Actually, I think it's just because Twitter encourages a more conversational tone, which is generally better than the usual title/subject "tone".
- Paul Buchheit
Limitation encourages more creativity
- John Samuel
better then !! resume the stuff, better from what point of view? it is better from the point that the twitter one is more appealing and this is the main job to do. in the blog post the headline have just to push people to read more, a better test would be to inverse I mean to post the blog headline as a tweet and the tweet as blog post headline :) and I agree limitation encourage creativity.
- abdellah
sounds like people need to think more about what their blog titles are. I've tried over the past six months specifically to think about how my blog title will be shared alone other places.

I agree, it is must likely that people in twitter will click the Link, it is more personal than choosing your post title. It would be a good Idea to check the titles on the post vs the tweets that led to them to see the whole picture. 10x

Sounds like he said it all in the tweet ?- makes you wonder why there was a blog posting at all. Neither the tweet nor the blog post title makes me want to read on so if the goal is to encourage reading the blog post I think both fail.

- Saurabh Arora
I stopped pushing my blog feed to Twitter and FF. I think it is more personal (and people are more apt to click) if I do the linking by hand with some context around it. However, I don't think I'd do what Matt did and add the 'short summary' bit.
- Scott Kingery
Before syndication, blog post titles were ornamental. Mine are often a convoluted pun that only makes sense after you've read the entry (like Diesel Sweeties does, only not as funny). I'm always horrified to see FF posting the title without any content, because they were never intended to stand on their own. (It's probably time to acknowledge the growing contexts and start writing more independent titles.)
- Seth
"I'm always horrified to see FF posting the title without any content" A good blog post title absolutely should work on its own, without any further context... what Nielsen and others call microcontent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... (edited the article to include Nielsen's definition). Whether it should give away everything is another question. If you're interested in Matt Cutts' writings in general, his book review title is pretty self-explanatory and might get you interested to click-through by
- Philipp Lenssen
Best Practice may be to have nice summaries in your blog feed. Matt's feed, for example, has limited-length excerpts from the post. If he added it as a Generic post with the proper checkbox checked that summary would appear as the first comment. Not ideal, but better than just the title...
- Kevin Fox
Kevin - any idea whether the 'Excerpt' box on wordpress would serve this function? I never put anything in there.
- Hutch Carpenter
You could also implement MediaRSS on your feed for an even bigger punch. Example: http://friendfeed.com/e...

I use MediaRSS and summaries in our Antarctica feed: http://friendfeed.com/kfury... I don't know if WordPress's 'Excerpt' functionality matches up with this, but I think so. I'm about to start using WP full time for my personal blog, so I'll definitely be checking it out.
- Kevin Fox
Cool - I'll try adding an Excerpt to my next post, see what happens.
- Hutch Carpenter
I use Drupal, but from observation of people on FriendFeed using WordPress, I believe you might need a plugin for Media RSS support.
- Mark Trapp
Yeah Mark, and it's spotty and undependable...
- anna sauce
I think it's fair to say that a title should stand on its own as a title, but it's not reasonable to expect titles to be summaries. Feed items can explicitly contain a summary. If one is provided, great! If not, why not show a snippet of the content?

This started off with me wondering if our realtime view (http://friendfeed.com/realtime) could have some kind of threading added in. It doesn't really work in a lot of cases, but by putting the code out there I'm hoping that it will inspire other people to come up with interesting new interfaces (and also show how easy it is to use our API).

I will get used to whatever UI you put on top of FF, so I'm not to worried about what sites it does or doesn't look like. This approaches what I would really like for FF, which is to set a rate of information flow (maybe even have some sort of dial). There are already recommended friends, which would be smarter when I have time to waste than surfing "everyone", but I could dial it way back on busy days. This would also help with discovery because I could add people to my home feed if I like their stuff.

Alan, maybe the problem was with your testers. It helps to have people who are experienced exploring new things.
