MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too.

You can display different template content based on "page type".. individual post vs Search or tag vs Main page. Currently Widgets must be added directly to the template.

Let's say you have a Facebook like operation - you have 300 million users. You run a very very good web site and 99.9% of the people are thrilled. Only .1% need help each month. That's 300,000 people a month. 30 days a month that's 10,000 people a day that think they deserve an email.

Instead of slamming Facebook for not allowing access, think of the avalanche of email. If it's your company how do YOU pay the people to respond? How do you organize that army of people? With bosses? Now you have to pay them too.
- Ibrahim OZTURKCAN
I would like to email a developer too - I can't even imagine running a place this big. I have no suggestions for them on how to give more personlized customer service. I look forward to hearing yours.
- Ibrahim OZTURKCAN
10,000 people per day * 7 minutes each = 70,000 minutes PER DAY / 14400 = 5 emails PER MINUTE, this equates to a staff of about 20-25 people when dividing by 3 shifts. Assume an average total annual cost per employees of $80k (includes benefits, salary, taxes, etc) = $2,000,000/yr
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Do you want to pay for that? (likely by viewing more, stupider, ads)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I certainly don't want email based support (not search-able) but facebook (and google) HAVE to support customers better than they currently are!! Considering facebook has over 1000 employees I think dedicating 2% directly to customer support is NOT unreasonable. Software updates and algorithms don't necessarily make happier customers, that takes a dedicated team. Support doesn't scale...
more...
- Chris Myles
yes it is. but facebook is just a sample. i think they only support for advertisers. others (users) are have to use like you said, search-able help page. @rob, i wont pay $1,3k/mo for one employee (total 60). i dont know urs but there are hundreds of people thrilling for $500/mo in our country. $80k is too high for an average.
- Ibrahim OZTURKCAN
after creating a new ticket, ebay cs replies over 5 days later.
- Ibrahim OZTURKCAN
$500/mo doesn't meet the minimum wage requirements in the US. A full time worker earns no less than about $1100/mo (before taxes). Most support engineers earn more in the range of 3500-6000/mo..With some lower end in the 1200-2000/mo.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
anyway, $1mio is a big budget too.
- Ibrahim OZTURKCAN
best would be to hire/train support specialists and pay them per email they respond. Also you can pay more if the customer/user is satisfied. This way, all you need is to control the level of service. In theory every support staff will try to respond as much as she can to get more money. With a dispatching system (machine learning in it) the dispatcher assigns similar support inquiries...

It doesn't look like wordpress puts media elements in your feed. You could find a utility that adds the media elements .. (I'm not sure if feedbuster handles video). Worst case you could add a hidden image that ends up in feed.

@dalmaer Google does use OpenSearch in every data API. It's on my TODO list to put it in more places, too: https://groups.google.com/group...
I talk a bit about JSON formatted search in that thread, in particular the JSONC syntax for rich data feeds. My hope is that early in 2010 we'll have enough of a consensus around a JSON format to document it in the OpenSearch spec and start paving the cowpaths.
- DeWitt Clinton
The two places I'm going to focus on in the near term for OpenSearch support are Google Custom Search and the Ajax APIs. The first is just a matter of sitting down and getting it done. The second is a matter of making sure our JSON data formats are consistent enough to do it well across multiple products and with some alignment with third-party APIs.
- DeWitt Clinton
Is JSONC in anything beyond Picasa yet? I really like the idea
- Kevin Marks
Yeah the JSONC is pretty slick..

Before you comment, you must use both FriendFeed and Wave regularly to have an opinion on the matter ;-)
- Jesse Stay
My opinion: I think FriendFeed rooms make excellent real-time collaboration tools
- Jesse Stay
I'm having issues with the unorganized mess that is Wave, even in a collaboration setting. With a few more tools to enable better sharing (they're close), I think FriendFeed could accomplish what Wave is doing in a much more organized and better way.
- Jesse Stay
FriendFeed would also need to standardize, and open source the entire platform (beyond just Tornado)
- Jesse Stay
wave could be used as the backend for the next version of friendfeed - it allows for threads, edits, attachments - all distributed
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Bear, good point - is it necessary though? Could FriendFeed just open source its existing technology and enable a protocol to standardize it all?
- Jesse Stay
This graph is interesting: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendf...
- Jesse Stay
If you trust graphs ;-)
- Jesse Stay
IMO Wave is a bit too much. I like how organized FriendFeed is - I'm about to encourage the Waves I'm on to move over to rooms over here because it's much easier to track the conversation and collaboration over here.
- Jesse Stay
i'm just saying that the document that is the core of each wave and it's method of storing changes *could* be used to form the threaded conversation behind each post in friendfeed. that's the part of FF that they haven't opensourced - the data model.
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Jesse, I use wave at work for my 5 person team... It has cut intraoffice email by 90%.
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
I agree. However I think they would be just as good just open sourcing what they already have rather than implementing completely new technology to power it all. FriendFeed already has a threaded conversation model - they just need to open source it and they'd have the same thing as Wave.
- Jesse Stay
Johnny, how do you like it as compared to just using a private FriendFeed room?
- Jesse Stay
BTW, I agree it's better than e-mail. So is IRC in some contexts ;-)
- Jesse Stay
Um, as far as I can tell from people who know about these things, federation of shared real-time data across servers is not a "they can just do it" level of difficulty.
- Chieze Okoye
Jesse... I like it cause we deal with a lot of changing PDFs and images etc. FriendFeed is good but I was able to pitch a Google product to my boss better.
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Johnny, the convincing towards adoption is a biggie, I understand. I'm hoping Facebook decides to push FriendFeed more in the future, and that they see this. With that, I think more people and businesses will have trust over it as a collaboration tool
- Jesse Stay
Well that leaves me out since nobody ever talks to me on the Wave.
- Judy Jones
friendfeed is more accessible from a variety of devices, I think it is more intuitive, wave has a much bigger learning curve
- Robert Higgins
Big difference is that you can't embed things like maps etc or have bots do cleanup/translation/etc - but if it's just text, links, images etc (the stuff that ff does do) and you're looking for just conversation/collaboration/brainstorming then friendfeed is great ... friendfeed is to wave as twitter is to friendfeed
- Chris Heath
Chris, Good analogy. I don't think facebook needs most the advanced functions of wave but the friendfeed features would certainly improve sharing and interaction within Facebook. For business collaboration the embeddable objects and bots of wave make it far better than a private FF group.
- Chris Myles
I totally agree Chris... I do agree with Jesse's other guess (at least I think it was Jesse) that FF is the Facebook R&D playground for new features (like the OAuth thing that just happened) -- or at least that would be a good idea for Facebook to use FF in that fashion
- Chris Heath
I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this one. A thought provoking and interesting idea.
- Mark Davidson
from BuddyFeed
Chris.. Hopefully R&D will include *easier ways* to share more content IF facebook actually wants data to search (especially for pages). Adding an RSS feed is horrible if your content includes ANY embeds/iframes.. So Page Notes are out (unless you just add a feedburner summary). I can add apps or flash (to improve my page) but then what DATA is available for facebook to search?
- Chris Myles
I wanted to use WAVE for fiction writing collaboration with another couple authors but I'm not finding it intutive certainly not as simple as a wiki would be. I'm not Mr Tech so that could be barrier but these are not functions that either ff or twitter can really replicate so I do wish I got got wave
- WarLord
WarLord have you tried Google Docs for collaboration? You could back it up with a private FF group for side discussions.. You could probably even load the document change feed into the group for discussion (although I just checked and that feature seems to have disappeared !?!?!).
- Chris Myles
One thing that I'm missing from FriendFeed for it to be Wave-like are gadgets. Like a certain conference gadget(shameless plug). IMHO gadgets are the most powerful piece of the Wave puzzle. FriendFeed groups would be killer for Wave, the stuff you can do with Groupy bot is kinda cluttered and disorienting.
- James Williams
I've actually been looking at Etherpad lately as a way to possibly make a Wave-lite experience in hopes of getting people to graduate to Wave.
- James Williams
Chris thats a good thought I had some small stuff on Google Docs but that plus FF group might be a soft way to get everybody moving then if we move to wave as we get comfortable...
- WarLord
James, didn't Google just buy Etherpad?

Bruce, that's fine, but I'd love for FriendFeed to say that. Otherwise I'd love to see them allow us to ignore the tweetmeme button.

How would your blog communicate that certain images should be ignored other than omitting them from the Media RSS feed?
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
Bruce, FriendFeed can ignore any image they like. It's their service.
- Jesse Stay
I don't want FriendFeed to decide which images to include. I want to decide what images to include. It's my feed. (I'm not joking or being contrary. It works the way I think it should work.)
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
Yes, but you could decide which images FriendFeed blocks on FriendFeed. Personally, I don't want web bugs in my stream - I think they should kill them. It opens up for some interesting uses of the site, but I think it's dangerous.
- Jesse Stay
That would work until you clicked through to the blog post. The problem has to be solved at the browser end.
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
I don't mind the Tweetmeme button on my blog. I mind it on FriendFeed. That's beside the point though - the point is web bugs can be embedded by anyone in a post to FriendFeed, posting cookies, tracking IPs, and possibly more. If that's what FriendFeed wants I'm fine with it - it seems like an issue though.
- Jesse Stay
I'm sure it was a conscious decision. They know how to make their own thumbnails.
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
Jesse: I don't think there is any security hole here. Certainly any external pieces of media can track you but it can't do anything serious like, for example, access FriendFeed cookies. Disabling third-party cookies solves your problem of being tracked across the web.
- Benjamin Golub
The Tweetmeme plugin for wordpress allows you to put the image at the bottom of your RSS posts. I keep it at the top on the actual blog and at the bottom for RSS so I can avoid this problem.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Isn't this problem on you, the content publisher's side? You told FriendFeed to read a mediaRSS-enabled feed that pointed to images that you don't control. You introduced the ostensible third-party tracking on your own site, embedded that tracking into your feed, and had FriendFeed import the feed. I'd rather have FriendFeed import the feed as accurately as possible and have you remove...

- Mark Trapp
In your RSS feed, you have two lines in every item block that need to be removed to fix this for you: <media:thumbnail url="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebu..." /> <media:content url="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebu..." medium="image" />
- Mark Trapp
Mark, no, that problem is FriendFeed's. If they don't want 3rd-party images that can dynamically produce content, set cookies, etc. on their users' computers they need to stop that practice. It doesn't sound like they want that though, so it sounds like it's no one's problem in that case. I was just raising what I thought was an issue. If they don't think it's an issue then I guess it's fair game.
- Jesse Stay
Embedding offsite images from RSS feeds is not unusual -- for example, Google Reader does the same. As others have mentioned, if this is a concern for you, there are browser config options that will address it across all sites.
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, thanks - that's fine. I just wanted to be sure the FriendFeed team was okay with it. Now to come up with some cool technologies that utilize that. :-)
- Jesse Stay
it is important for publishers and users to be aware of these technical implications. this is a good feature for some purposes, and hadn't been apparent to me before, thanks for pointing it out

iit's a moot point since there aren't any friendfeed users any more

About that whole idea of disallowing 3rd party images in friendfeed posts: That might make it impossible for some people to have any images displaying with their posts if their images are not hosted on the same domain as their blog, which would be the case with Blogger's *.blogspot.com blogs. Plus, even if you whitelist the domains Google uses for Blogger image hosting, it still creates...

Personally I wish more sites would come up with dynamic images that can be passed around via feeds (and email, facebook). The friendfeed image embed works great and gives people a snapshot of dynamic content without having to click through just to find out nothing has changed. I'm not sure what facebook's safe_image.php does but you can see the latest retweet counts in your facebook notes (http://www.facebook.com/note...) but not your media elements!!
- Chris Myles
April.. I use flickr with blogger (they have a better integration with blogger than picasa for single images with captions etc). The sad thing is Blogger doesn't even include media elements for non-picasa images..including you-tube videos etc. It makes it hard to generate enticing feed summaries with thumbnails (via custom scripts, friendfeed, facebook).
- Chris Myles
For a long time, since before you could upload pics to Blogger, I used a folder on my software site to hold all the blog images I used on my personal blog. Everything was handled through WLW, from creating thumbnails, watermarking, and uploading it all. When I changed hosting, I had to start using the integration with Picasa Web through WLW to do it because WLW doesn't support FTPES,...

I agree with Johnny. The mere cost of generating enough followers and building yourself up to be a 'trust agent' a la Chris Broggan far exceeds any business value that can be derived.

Actually it appears to be a half-worked job. The imported status updates from Twitter via FF in FB still have the FF icon and it seems that is putting people off. The imports need to be turned into proper native FB updates. These imported updates could also be in people's filters.

Kol: the FriendFeed icon is there because the story (or status update) was created via the FriendFeed application. There is no way for us or you to remove that icon. It is for all intents and purposes a "native" FB entry
- Benjamin Golub
I love that the friendFeed team is still working on updates. Any chance you can make it on a "per-update" basis though? For instance, I don't like Twitter going to Facebook, but I may not mind others. Or, at a minimum, I'd love to check a box on my Friendfeed status and have it go to Facebook instead of Twitter.

I've noticed one slight difference between application posts and native (link) posts.. The "view in applicationx" replaces the share button, which makes sharing an application posted link a multi-step process!!

How do you build a page from the ground up and "transfer it" as a traditional consultant would? just wondering
- Chris Myles
Chris, you can add as many admins as possible. They can either add you as the original owner of the Page, or you can also set the Page up under a company name, having the company administer and own the Page rather than an actual person.

It's only the original owner of the Page that you can't change.

Jesse Thanks for the notes.. The last bit is the part that seems Consultant unfriendly.. I don't want to own it, I want to develop it and transfer it as a service. Unless something has changed recently, you CAN'T set it up as a company name, it has to be owned by a person (at least according to all of facebook's documentation http://www.facebook.com/help...). Also being unable to change a page type makes it critical to get it right in the first place and most people don't set it up correctly.

Maybe I'm being anal but it's the following (repeated multiple times) that got my attention. "Maintaining multiple accounts, regardless of the purpose, is a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Use. If you already have a personal account, then we cannot allow you to create business accounts for any reason. You can manage all the Pages and Socials Ads that you create on your personal account."

I just tried setting up a business account and a page.. I couldn't successfully add any Admins until I published the page !?!? Strange.. I'll make it work but it doesn't seem right.

Right now the best way is to set it up as a business account - that's the only way, unless you already have someone to deliver it to, in which case you'll want to have them set it up and hand over to you to manage.

Try deleting your cache and google cookies. Then close/re-start your browser and re-login. Might fix it.

Jesse. If you add a note and share, do you know if the article is shared correctly as you? Or do you get a share error or no error but the article does not get shared? Is it always the avatar of the same other person or do you get a random set?
- Edwin Khodabakchian
I've never come across that issue with Reader but it wouldn't surprise me. I have had problems with feeds not updating like they should. Feedly is great IMO only if you have less than 100 feeds. Any more than that and the organization becomes disorganized, if that makes sense.
- Jason Williams
Edwin, the avatar seems to change randomly - it will be one for awhile, and then it will change. Shares always get shared as me, but will be shared as the wrong article (I've only reproduced this with notes). I've mentioned this before but no one responded. Is there an equivalent to the FriendFeed Feedback room for Google Reader?

Edwin, yes, it's consistent

Jesse: since we suspect the share-with-note issue is browser-specific, we still need to know what browser you're seeing this with.
