When you edit your comments on FriendFeed, those edits are now reflected in real-time in everyone's feeds. No need to refresh the page to see the edited comments.
This should improve the experience for some of the more "colorful" discussions on FriendFeed :) Thanks to Gary and Casey for implementing this change.

actaully I had two browser windows opened ..but the other one did not get refreshed
- Peter Dawson
This is bad...it's kind of addicting to just watch people changing their comments in this thread :)

Oh thank you so much, FF devs. I am horrible at reading what I type sometimes and end up with typos. I correct them anyway, but most never saw unless they refreshed. This is awesome!

Ok here's a question - what will BackType pick up as my final comment here? if i can continue to edit it? probably just whatever it is when it happens to hit the comment
- Nathan Chase
That's the kind of attention to detail that makes FriendFeed so good - thanks!!!!!!
- Jim Connolly
Thx Micah, but unfortunately I use Chrome. So, no extensions yet. At least not with the stable version.

from email
@Nathan: Unfortunately, we capture every edit of your comment (can look at that as a + or -, but we'll likely address it in the future)
- Christopher Golda
which makes it pretty much like google wave.
- Rohit
Tis true, David. I'm as eager as anyone for Chrome to catch up.
- Micah Wittman
THis is a really neat thing to watch. I saw it happen yesterday in one of my posts.
- Rick Cogley
Indeed, who needs Google Wave now? ;) Great addition. I do hope that comment field changes become versioned (at least optionally) with history of changes. I do like the ability to clarify my wording, but I also like the permanence of immutable comments (like with regular blog commenting, for example).

Please Please Please, can you do the groups listing updates also so you don't have to refresh the screen to see the last time one of the groups was updated?
- Travis Koger
VERY NICE UPDATE! We also need this for deleted comments.

Re: BackType - I've noticed that they'll recrawl your comment if you modify it, within a few hours, after some testing. Not sure if it always happens though, but I've seen at least 4 reappear after I've modified them.
