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. - Bret Taylor
Ace!! - Kol Tregaskes
Who the hell needs Google Wave when we have FF! - Travis Koger
lets test again and again :)- - Peter Dawson
I'm watching Peter. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Nice! In fact, double nice! :) - Andy Bold
Well I just saw Brett's change... right before my eyes! - Travis Koger
Nathan, cool, works well. - Kol Tregaskes
More real-time FTW :) - Ivan Zuzak
cool :) - Nathan Chase
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 :) - Tamara
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! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Nice! If only we could the timestamps now also have realtime. Remember the jQuery proposal (http://friendfeed.com/friendf...)? - David Schmidt
David, agree. - Kol Tregaskes
Wow, excellent improvement!! Thanks FriendFeed :) - Susan Beebe from BuddyFeed
Sitting here, watching Nathan going editing mad ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
I love this god damned website - Mark
seems ok as long as you slow down ;) - Nathan Chase
Great work!! - Edwin Khodabakchian
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
OK. can't seem to break it now :) - Nathan Chase
Huzzah! - Nathan Chase
@Nathan, FF devs do everything in Real-Time! - Travis Koger
hah i bet - Nathan Chase
Will the desktop notifier show edited comments or continue to post the initial comment only? - Kol Tregaskes
good question, Kol - Nathan Chase
Will edits on the title update in real-time too or just comments? - Kol Tregaskes
Nathan, that seemed fast. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
And will deleted comments/entries update in real-time? - Kol Tregaskes
I hope not. How else can we keep up with Cristo™? - Akiva Moskovitz
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs! - Micah Wittman
It's gone Mad on email notifications though. I am seeing the same comments multiple times via email. - Andy Bold from email
David Schmidt, Jammy wrote a user script to make timestamps live update: http://friendfeed.com/jammyle... - Micah Wittman
Thx Micah, but unfortunately I use Chrome. So, no extensions yet. At least not with the stable version. - David Schmidt 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
nice - Kevin Whalen
Thank goodness because I'm always hitting Post before proofreading, THEN finding errors. :P - CAJ, somewhere else
For (optional) training, there should be a wait-to-publish penalty if corrections occur too frequently. - τorƍue
@David: this link could help: http://friendfeed.com/chromiu... in Chrome use it along with Jammy's script here: http://userscripts.org/scripts... I'm a fan ;D - Bicentennial (Franc)
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). - Meryn Stol
Nice fix #FriendFeedTeam - Mitch
Woot! I'm surprised this wasn't done at the introduction of real-time. - Tanath
Somebody edit something. Edit: More, I missed it :P. - Tanath
Nice one... - AJ Batac
There we go! :D Cool. - Tanath
much appreciated - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Thanks FF team it's Great - Nimaa
I have a problem with FF comments. Why are they not nested. I can not coment on a comment. I need it very much. - Nitin Nanivadekar
nested comments +1 - 0M0M from email
Very cool. You're spoiling us Bret :) - Charlie Anzman
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
Yay - Tyson Key
yay nay just kidding yay - Vincent van Wylick
VERY NICE UPDATE! We also need this for deleted comments. - Alp
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. - Tyson Key
