Testing out a Twitter retweet using Favorites. First, import your Twitter Favorites into FriendFeed as an RSS/blog feed, using a URL like http://twitter.com/favorit.... Next, tell FriendFeed to post your imported entries to Twitter via http://friendfeed.com/setting.... That's it.

Once done, in Twitter all you have to do is Favorite something (the star that no one uses). This will get posted in your Favorites RSS feed which will be imported into FriendFeed. Then, FriendFeed will post this to Twitter and will look something like: lancearmstrong: @taylorphinner breaks the US record in the "kilo" going 1:01. As he says, "slayed it".
- Mike Reynolds
Hootsuite will allow you to import RSS in a similar manner and will poll X number of updates per hour (where you can specify the number X) in addition to allowing you to pre-pend additional notational text in front of the tweet (so you can add "RT" for example)
- Chris Aldrich
I recently started to play with my favourite Twitter feed using Yahoo Pipes with the intention of feeding it back to my Twitter account. I used Pipes to add the suffix '#fav', but didn't take it any further.
- Chris Marshall
Very cool Chris and Chris.
- Mike Reynolds
I'm doing this as well Mike - Thanks for the tip
- Bwana ☠
Problem with this is it will add the ff.im link to every tweet. Maybe a better way would be to use a service like Twitterfeed?
- Pat Hawks
I don't mind the ff.im link because I want people to come here to discuss it
- Bwana ☠
I wish the delay were't so long...you lose the instant feel
- Bwana ☠
Does this happen automagically? Can I favorite something on Twitter, and have it autoretweet? Is that the point of this exercise?
- Mike Shields
Yes Mike, that's the idea
- Bwana ☠
ok, that's huge.
- Mike Shields
Still having a little problem with this. How do I create the RSS feed itself?
- Mike Shields
just an FYI @Pat Hawks: you can't use twitterfeed to post back to twitter from your twitter favorites feed.. "Twitter does not allow posting of twitter feeds back to twitter..." is the error message provided by twitterfeed - its too bad because twitterfeed gives you the option to prepend RT: if you could get it to work.. I suppose you could pipe the feed then use twitterfeed to circumvent the restriction
- Bill Rawlinson
kool. i am gonna set this up for myself. thanks!
- (jeff)isageek
I set this up but the retweet didn't happen the way I wanted it so I created a pipe at yahoo pipes to help http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes... put your username in the field, hit "run pipe" then click the "get as rss" link and use the address it takes you to as a service here.. then reshare that service to twitter.. It will prepend the retweeted item with RT: @ so that the original author is cited as normal and the RT: label is present.
- Bill Rawlinson
Not seeing how to reshare to Twitter automatically... :(
- Mike Shields
Thanks a lot like it
- Geris
Is this still working? Mine doesn't seem to be pulling anything in at the moment. ( using http://twitter.com/favorit... )

Nicely done. I suppose you POST crawl data into it or...?
- Aviv
Nope, I hit a special URL (using curl via cron from my server) and App Engine does the crawling
- Benjamin Golub
Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense
- Aviv
Yes, and it's crazy fast!
- Benjamin Golub
what about rssmeme? or is there too much crawling involved?
- Aviv
technically with rssmeme you could have the crawl super fast if you add all the google shared feeds to google reader and then have AppEngine hit up Reader (although not sure if urlfetch supports cookies). That should make for an interesting hack
- Aviv
I'm going to look into getting RSSmeme on App Engine next, it's just a "bit" bigger than FriendFeed Stats :P
- Benjamin Golub
After DNS propagates the old URL (http://www.friendfeedstats.com) should point to the App Engine...I hope

Nice! Looks like it went pretty well. Of course, that means all the data is gone now :P

I think this is more of a "send the friendfeed traffic to facebook" than any kind of technical leverage. My biggest concern here: in order to exchange dialogue with people on facebook I need to be friends with them vs. being able to do it on friendfeed without having to friend them up. I find this valuable as there may be a topic or 5 that I want to engage with user "X" on, but I don't...

It depends on how they integrate it. Did they buy it for the search engine, or did they buy it as a potential for extending the reach of Facebook into real time conversations? It's all about the life stream now right? So probably Facebook's attempt to stake a claim there.

Actually, this could be death for Twitter when you think about it. The people I know who are in FB are not likely to add TWO more nets to their lifestream. FriendFeed makes more sense for them. Maybe Twitter just stays as the dumb pipe it's become for many of us here.

Just like most acquisitions, it could be good and it could be bad. I trust that FriendFeed will live on as FriendFeed, only sharing their tech with Facebook. Possibly more integration between the two sites. If you were FF/FB, what would you do?

Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook are three entirely different animals. Facebook eats Friendfeed and poops out little bits of content that once belonged to us. Twitter continues to thrive as the broadcast conversation-wannabe that it always was.

The biggest thing here, at least within the Twitter context, is that this merger will combine 'verified' identity (in terms of Facebook user ID being slightly more 'real' than Twitter) with real time status updates.
- Dan Patterson
I'm looking forward to what this brings to Facebook. I have enjoyed both networks but wondered when FriendFeed/Facebook would face-off and/or be absorbed by the other. I think FriendFeed's tech will improve the Facebook experience.
- Jacob Sloan
FriendFeed + Twitter = disruptive. FriendFeed + Facebook = one more app for FB . Facebookers dont know the power of FriendFeed. I agree with : "" So FB failed to buy Twitter, - so they buy FF which is just a UI for twitter.. - Nick Halstead ""
- Rocky
Most likely scenario is Facebook assimilates the FriendFeed guys, has them work on improving Facebook newsfeed/realtime/status, and lets FriendFeed die a slow unmaintained death.

Robert, it means all the time you invested building friends lists and updates there will go to Facebook :-)

It's a good time to sell to Facebook, cause Google Wave is imminent and is going to destroy all of Facebook, Twitter and FriendFeed. I think FriendFeed employees might even go back to Google eventually as soon as their contracts with Facebook are up.

- Jonathan.Rivera
If you ignore all the crappy apps and just comment and post photos, your main feed on Facebook is fundamentally a pretty similar experience to FriendFeed - people post stuff, people comment on it. That is, at-least, the way my network tends to use Facebook. The main difference is that Facebook defaults to being very closed and private while FriendFeed defaults to being very open and...

But I hate their bookmarklet, the weird delays when I post anything, the comment system, and I hate the Photo gallery tech. I love the FriendFeed community, but would love bringing the FriendFeed technology over to Facebook even more. If only Facebook could buy Flickr next...

I dont have as many as that Thomas, but it's something i have to do almost daily as well. If only there was a block all, would make so much more sense. Maybe its a feature they will now implement just as we can 'hide all' over here.

got all the page requests done, now I'm working on ignoring all of those crappy little apps and I get this: No Network Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/reqs.php': A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet. sigh. I thought Facebook was supposed to be "fun."
- Thomas Hawk
Sounds like a cop out to me Thomas, if you really like FF and do not prefer FB, why waste your time learning FB? FF won't go away for a while, and there may just be an other shiny new service that pops up out of the wood work to take it's place in the future. There always is isn't there? A great big gaping hole of opportunity just opened up for some other service to fill.
- Jeff P. Henderson
As several others have pointed out, many people use FB & FF to do entirely different things. Many people do not want to mix their personal friends with their on line friends. Not sure how merging the two services would actually work. It would not work for me any more than if FF and Linkedin were to merge.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Facebook is closed and icky. Do not want.
- Lurking Grue
why invest significant time in FF going forward if it's going away.
- Thomas Hawk
I will tell you this, it is an absolute pain in the ass to have to ignore all these little app requests one by one by one. Why can't they just have a button that ignores them all?
- Thomas Hawk
I get immediate gratification out of FF, but personally I don't see any long term loss if I continue to participate utill the day it goes away.
- Jeff P. Henderson
The thing about Facebook is that "making users' lives easier" isn't necessarily a core value. There are lots of UI decisions that are so apparently hostile it makes me question Occam's Razor.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Thomas, as FF in definitely being integrated into FB in the long term I'd agree. :-(

I don't see the point of Facebook acquiring FriendFeed. They are pretty much identical services (well, FF represents just the News Feed portion of Facebook) I don't see how they can incorporate FriendFeed into Facebook. If they really did buy it, then I see this as them going for programming talent more so than the IP and will leave FriendFeed to wallow and die off. Much like Google did with Jaiku when they bought them for the human talent at Jaiku.
