MG: you can also embed a real-time feed for a room in other web pages, so you can embed a real-time view for your next liveblog event (we thought of you when enabling that feature).

Amazingly awesome. If friendfeed were a person I'd have the hugest crush on it.
- EricaJoy
gotta say it's immensely satisfying to use the share bookmarklet in one page and see it pop up instantly on the mini window
- Karl Rosaen
Time to watch FriendFeed scroll on ... and on ... and on ...
- Great Scott!
It probably does make a person more likely to post a comment or reply, because you know the other person just posted what you're commenting about. Shorten the feedback loop, increase the throughput...

Nice work guys. You've re-invented crack.
- Ryan Kuder
Yah, chasing the comment link is annoying. I am working on something for that now. The update rate was not exactly this high during a lot of our testing ;)
- Bret Taylor
Am I missing how to embed the realtime somewhere?
- Ryan Kuder
to keep congruence with the normal page, i'd like to see 'likes' show up here too
- Karl Rosaen
can u imagine the redraws if that were the case? I was thinking about this myself and it seemed a good idea till I actually implemented it.
- Prolific Programmer
yeah, i suppose so, glad to hear it was tried out (i assume u work at ff?). maybe 'most liked' graph on the side or something that would update as the votes came in... or not
- Karl Rosaen
Is there a way to just watch one persons feed in realtime? not their friends just them.
- Shawn McCollum
I have to respectfully say I'm not a fan. While I suppose it could be interesting for live blogging, etc... I'm a proponent of thoughtfulness over speed and quantity. We already have enough twittering in the world, enough 24-hour live news coverage. We don't need to know more sooner. We need to understand more better.

But wait, how do I flip it? I want new things to arrive on the bottom, like in all my other chat clients. I have a much easier time reading from top to bottom. (Also, can it auto-pause when I'm not scrolled to the live end of the feed? And if not, can the pause button stay in view when I scroll?)

I didn't see the real-time update here,maybe my office computer is too slow,or maybe it is the issue with IE6.
- Steve Chou
Now it is working,and it is awesome...

Also, why no list of accumulated Likes? And I miss the More button. (As you can tell, I'm completely addicted.)

I like this. But I really would like a view for a specific user WITH likes and comments all together. I want to integrate this on my blog, defacto to make it my blog. But without my likes it's missing something.

Mine doesn't seem to be updating... is it possible it can only handle a couple of feeds at a time. The room I'm embedding probably has 3 or 4 dozen feeds. I know it's gotta update more often than once an hour. Ugh.
