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
Great! Thanks! Love FF!
- Scott Monaco
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.

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

Works fine on Mac OS X 5.0.335 dev channel release. It looks like extensions are disabled on the extensions website and on Chrome internal pages, but if you go to like http://google.com the bookmarklet pops up just fine. You can try to remove the %20 in the action_url string, but removing it didn't seem to affect my usage either way.

If you could combine FFcheck with the bookmarklet, that would be very useful

- Jesse Stay
*ears perk up*
- Micah
Jesse, are you an advisor to kynetx (I see they're based in Lehi)? Do you know what their business model is - have they stated anything as such publicly. It certainly looks interesting.
- Micah
Micah, I am not an advisor, nor do I have any vested interest. I just really like what they're doing. Their business model is in building custom apps for brands interested, or in consulting. I'm not sure what other types of deals they do. Their developer platform is free though. You can ask @windley or @fulling on Twitter though and I'm sure they can answer more detailed questions than I'm aware.
- Jesse Stay
Of note, @windley wrote the Digital Identity book for O'Reilly, and has a very strong identity background. I fully expect them to go full force into the identity realm with what they're doing. Imagine completely customized context (such as this extension, but even more), through extensions, action cards, and bookmarklets, across all browsers.

"Greplin, the service that indexes and lets you search all of your online social stuff (Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), has just opened its doors to everyone. Earlier this week we reported on their new financing round from Sequoia Capital, and over the last couple of days they’ve let in everyone on the waitlist. And as of right now, you can use Greplin, too. Why would you want to use Greplin? Because it lets you search across all of your emails, Facebook data and Twitter stuff with one query. And they haven’t stopped there. You can also authorize Google Apps, Dropbox, LinkedIn, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Evernote, Yammer, Salesforce, Box.net, Basecamp, Google Voice, Google Reader, Google Contacts and more. And then find stuff in those apps with a single query."

It's sad that the first comment you received on the blog post was essentially, "I thought you were a hater, but now that you complemented Google, I like you again." The "you either like the things I like or you're against me" mentality, especially when it comes to company loyalty, is really unnerving and you shouldn't feel the need to be apologetic because of that. It's interesting to hear your perspective on Google, whether it's complimentary *or* critical.
- Mark Trapp
I wasn't saying "now that you complemented Google, I like you again." I was more saying "due to your well-founded explanations in this post and the last, I realize that your criticism of Google is logical, rather than emotional."

Graeme, it seems much more reasonable to assume good faith from the start.

Mark, I think it's useful feedback for anyone who writes to hear feedback both from first impressions and from careful consideration, so Graeme's comments are useful. For me, when I started reading this particular essay, it was awesome (the "if everything you do succeeds" part). Then, after carefully reading to the end, I thought it was all awesome.

Chronological, is still a huge weight for relevance with the majority of items. Cadmus succeeds, because it provides you the most relevant over a short period of time.

Y Combinator announces two new partners, Paul Buchheit and Harj Taggar - http://ycombinator.posterous.com/y-combi...

"We're delighted to announce that Y Combinator is getting two new partners, the first we've added since we started YC in 2005. In case anyone doesn't already know who he is, Paul Buchheit was responsible for three of the best things Google has done: he wrote GMail, built the original prototype of AdSense, and came up with the phrase "Don't be evil." After leaving Google he started FriendFeed, which last year became Facebook's largest acquisition to date. He's a good friend as well as one of the world's best hackers; for years we've considered him an honorary YC partner. We hired Harj Taggar earlier this year to work advising startups alongside me. He wasn't technically a partner, but we quickly realized that he was one de facto—that among us his opinion carried as much weight as any of ours—and that it would be mean of us to delay recognizing this officially. Harj's arrival significantly improved how well YC operated. He's a large part of the reason we were able to fund 36 startups in the summer 2010 cycle."

Paul: I doubt you can answer this one, either, but I'd love to know what it is about Facebook that is already pushing away entrepreneurial types.

I've got a backup of my Android system on my HTC Desire via ROM Manager (it's 2.1 and I have installed a 2.2 HTC ROM instead) but I'd like to get my messages (text messages) and bookmarks from the backup. Is this possible?

There are only a few files and most are .img files (disk Images files?)
- Kol Tregaskes
So how can I view the files inside it and when I can see the files, what am I looking for? Where are bookmarks and messages normally stored on Android?

You could also try SMS Backup+ http://www.appbrain.com/app...

Thank you, Siavash. :-)

Brian, that app *would* have been useful. I'll install and use it from now on but won't restore my current SMSs.

I don't use it all that much anymore, I moved everyone over to my Google Voice number. But it did save my bacon once.

Maybe this is what could propel humanity to come together and send a probe there or something. Oh wait, nah. What was I thinking??
- iTad
Tad, it is *20 light years away*. We do not currently have the technology to send a probe there (even for a brief flyby) in anything like a reasonable timeframe. As a culture, we've sort of lost the capability for executing long term (think 'multi-century cathedral building') projects.
- Michael R. Bernstein
If we made it a priority we could send a probe that could visit the planet and return information in less than a hundred years. The tech to build a probe that could reach 75% of light speed is probably within reach right now - especially if we spent a fraction of the world's military budgets on it. In my opinion now that we know there's a habitable world within reach we almost have a moral mandate to visit. If we know it's there, there may be someone/thing there just now realizing we're here.
- iTad
Hell in less than 20 years we could probably build a space-based telescopic array that could get a pretty damned good look at the planet from our own solar system. Maybe somewhere a bit past Jupiter's orbit...
- iTad
Agree with Tad. Also, it'd be a lot easier to photograph it (visible and interferometry) if we funded and launched either the Terrestrial Planet Finder or SIM mission. We'd probably get an answer then.
- Anthony Citrano
Tad, knowing that we use the planets gravitation to send a probe past our solar system. I wouldn't think that we would have the energy to go 20 light years away any time soon. I'm not sure if we can build a probe which reaches 75% of light speed either but, we wouldn't have the energy to send it that far anyway. But, like Anthony said, it'd be a lot easier to photograph it and that's what they are probably planning to do.
