Any brave souls willing to give it a spin?

Like most of the cool Friendfeed userscripts, doesn't work with GreaseKit or Fluid. :-/ Ah well. Otherwise I'd give it a try.
- Mark Trapp
I tried it and it works great. Good work Hao!
- Ole Begemann
@Mark d'oh, ty for letting me know! @Ole thanks!
- Hao Chen
It works really well. Nice job. Looks like I was recommended the same people in the preview picture. Are we following all of the same people...? interesting.
- Brandon
@Brandon it's possible. are other people getting different results? btw, you gave me another idea...compare yourself to other users and show a % match based on subscriptions on the user flyout and profile page.
- Hao Chen
tried this one, and the other one: subscribe me. interesting...

for whatever reason this script freaked my Firefox browser out. It asks me to enter my ff name and remote key but that box just keeps reloading every tenth a second or so so you don't have time to enter it. Can't even quit out of firefox. Had to ctl-alt-delete and kill FF and restart.
- Thomas Hawk
worked ok...slloooow... froze up on me...restarted FF3 and FF, then re-ran..ok.

I think I might be subscribed to too many people for this to work. Ran out of patience with the spinning beach ball and decided to disable it.

Apologizes to those that had slowdown/crash issues. Could you please edit the script setting the variable MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS_PER_USER to a much lower number and try again? Then up it incrementally until you're satisfied with the performance. If this method works, please let me know what you set MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS_PER_USER to. Thanks.

@Thomas I think you have too many subscriptions for this to work right now. I'll post a fix.
- Hao Chen
Sweet! With this, I can't even complain about FF's broken recommended page.
- Phil G
Alright, I just posted a fix. It should be faster and less crashy. :)
- Hao Chen
Also, updated so that if you hover over a users' avatar, it shows you the number of mutual subscribers that person has and tells you a couple of them.

just tried it again in mac FireFox 3. Wont take authentication. Also it asks for user/pass, not user/remote key, but I tried both.
- Steve Isaacs
I really have to switch to Firefox... Finaly I got something I really want to do via greasemonkey... Well, let's wait for a more stable version of firefox 3 :-P
- Marcos Marado
Fixed it - lowered my max limits in the script - thanks!
- Steve Isaacs
@steve awesome! what did you set it to?
- Hao Chen
We just needed to see wich services they where on ;)
- JegerPhil - Phil

Hao - I just loaded Better FF Recommended. It would not accept my user name and password. 2:15 EST

Working on the username/password box issue..click cancel on it for now.
- Hao Chen
Just installed it. No errors, no slowdown... took about two seconds to render. Results completely different than the screenshot. CONCLUSION: Pretty damned impressive.
- Roger Benningfield
As soon I get home, I will take it for a test drive. Sweeet gm script Hao.
- Mike Fruchter
I used the FF API key and that seemed to keep it from popping up in my face over and over. Great script!
- Justin Korn
Other than the already known password request issue, it worked well. Picked up a few new people to watch.
- Jeremy Hall
you guys, I just updated the script. It's MUCH BETTER now! Optimized performance, cleaner UI, and configurable settings to find even more people! btw, use your remote key as the password if the login box comes up (you subscribe to someone with a private feed).
- Hao Chen
I love this script and thanks for the update. MUCH BETTER and the configuration settings are a nice touch.
