You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

Thanks Bret! :)

Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
Great! Thanks! Love FF!
- Scott Monaco
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.

- Casey Muller
Lovely. Thanks guys.
- Mitchell Tsai
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)

Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro.
- Louis Gray

Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!
- Bret Taylor
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"?

But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)

Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes

- Josh Haley
I'm all for improving the format of notifications, but wonder (aloud) if it is such a smart move to include the Approve/Reject link right at the top (unless it only appears in private feeds to which someone has requested access). Right now we have the option of blocking/ rejecting a subscriber at any time but presumably not at the very outset. This may lead to more of a walled gardens' mentality, already very prevalent at FF.
- ianf ⌘
ianf: approve/reject is only for private feeds. Public feeds just have a link to subscribe back :)

Gmail automatically showed me the images in a subscription email, even though I never told it to (you know how gmail has the 'display images below' option). further, it doesn't give me the option to hide the images. not that I'd want to, but how are you bypassing gmail's security feature to hide the images?
- chrisofspades
Chris, we don't do anything special. I'm not sure how gmail decides what images to show, you'd have to contact them or check the gmail help.
- Casey Muller
Casey, you sure FriendFeed's founders didn't use some of their "we created Gmail" mojo? ;)
- chrisofspades
Chris, the "show images" only applies to external images hosted on other sites. Gmail doesn't show those by default because doing so would allow people to "bug" email. We include the images with the email so that they can be displayed immediately.
- Paul Buchheit
ahhhh that explains it. thanks Paul.

What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else.
- FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you.
- Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible.
- FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it.
- Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about?
- Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like....
- FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug.
- Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog.
- Bret Taylor
User-driven...I like.
- Josh Haley
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us?
- Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender?
- Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed.
- Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended
- Bret Taylor
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant.
- FFing Enigma
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical)
- Meryn Stol
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.

Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations

- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday.
- Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages?
- Mark Trapp
Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed.

- friday night
Why is wget questionable?
- Gabe
Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle.

This underground garage accomplishes two important things: you can safely park your car with the push of a button saving space at the same time. Cars can even be parked on top of each other thus offering an efficient system for urban areas too."

in italy it is forbidden by law to read the employees' email (as well as check their browsing habits). don't you have similar laws in the u.s. too?

(Disclaimer: I'm not the lawyer of anyone here. This is not legal advice.) As a high-level, general matter, employers in the U.S. can monitor employee email if they have a written policy in place that adequately discloses the monitoring to the employees. I knew someone whose entire job was to sit around all day tracking employees' web browsing for a large corporation.

My contract with my "employer" (an IT company in Poland) includes an article about how I use their office appliances, internet connection, company-given e-mail address and so on, although these items are not covered word by word... my lawyer told me, it could mean that they can use any of my e-mails as a proof of wrong doing according to their policies and that could give them the right to end my contract.

You went to google where people read your mail, right? At least before that early bug in gmail search was fixed.

As for the email issue, if I were ever working someplace that spied on my email, getting fired would be a good thing because it would mean I was no longer working there. One of the benefits of SV is that there are always other options.

- Tudor Bosman
My recollection is that the mutt *alphas* were of higher quality than many other products' shipped final versions. The spread of evil HTML mail (*cough* how about that, Gmail?) made it all the more pressing to use a mail-client which could suppress the obnoxiousness.

It's no different than what MSFT and Yahoo! employees did in that past. At these time the destination was Google. The important metric would be their persistency in their next destination (if they made the switch) or the mean time between their "i'm leaving" bluffs.

There's no way 150k is a mid level salary (without bonus). I looked at the disclosures for 2008 Google supported H-1B visas and 120k is the highest just 2 years ago.
- Doug Brooks
Doug, $150k is not uncommon for an experienced engineer in SV.
- Paul Buchheit
I think that the story is basically true, but that the numbers are somewhat exaggerated (or misinterpreted by TechCrunch), especially the $500k cash bonus.
- Tudor Bosman
I have some real numbers from recent such events, and while it's not cash, the number of GSUs being handed out are pretty astonishing. There's a serious bidding war going on.
- Piaw Na
You'd think Google could figure out the reasons people want to switch and use the money to fix the discrepancy. If you pay someone half a million dollars to stay for a year, they'll only stay for a year (and probably not be as productive in the interim).
- Kevin Fox
And I thought I did good with my 1 year stay bonus :P
- Juan Pablo González
interesting, I thought the conventional advice was to never take counter offers for fear they will just drop you at a more opportune time, but maybe if they're offering up that kind of cash, they are genuinely interested in keeping, not just blocking the exit of, the employees. also, funny how this is the exact opposite of the zappos pay people to leave approach http://blogs.hbr.org/taylor...

Just realized that a "mid level developer" at Google makes MUCH more than a "high level program manager" at a multi-billion dollar international. Wild guess that FB would have no interest in making me an offer (and that my company would laugh at me if I presented a FB offer to them expecting a counter). Ah, Silly Valley, you're still silly!

Google isn't the only company being poached from by FB.
- Mr. Gunn
Doug, there are several ex-Googlers commenting here, and none appear to disagree enough with the reported salary to point it out. Besides, the report said "mid-level" (not "entry level") which covers a wide range. There are some (non-senior staff) software engineers on your list that earn comparable amounts: e.g.: I-07330-3751869 147,000; I-08023-3822031 140,000; I-07352-3779209 139,000.

Why do people think 150k is over the top? $150k would be high here (Australia), but not crazy-high, and we don't have as much competition. If you include contract engineers I know quite a few people making that pretty easily. +15% + 4x stock benefits + 500K is nice though!
- Nick Lothian
Nick, I don't think $150k is over the top for Google. I think that $150k plus all the variable comp is over the top. Further, I think that outside of the small world of Google, FB, Twitter, etc, $150k for a mid-level developer is very high. Point of comparison: I work for a Fortune 5 company that also happens to be one of the 15 largest producers of software in the world (though...

At dinner with Peter Ho, former chief civil servant of Singapore. Love his approach to problem solving. #g2s

Why have my filters been pushed to the bottom of the sidebar. Please put them back, I don't want them at the bottom! :-(

Correct, I too want them up there, directly after Friends list which, btw., DOES NOT NEED additional groupings into Favorites/ Personal/ Professional taking up screen real estate. Also, renaming Filters to "Saved Searches" is the wrong move, esp. since the latter string is far longer. Incidentially, Groups Prefs do not work for me - Groups shows 4 items even though I tried to revert it back to former 2. If Friends, Groups and Filters are to be separate, I'd place Groups last.

Bump up text size to 24p, and browse it on a 13" laptop's screen - then you'll see how Filters (now Saved Searches) fall off the display.

Ianf: Your Friends panel shows all the friends lists that you have. If you want all your friends in one list, you can put them in one list and delete all the other default lists. But those lists were already there. And the string "Saved Searches" doesn't take up nearly as much width as the names of most of my groups. :)
- Karl Knechtel
There does seem to be a bug if you try to put fewer than 4 items in your Groups.
- Karl Knechtel
@Karl - there's no option to delete selected (empty) lists, not via the Browse/Edit Friends option at the bottom. Similarly, Groups panel seems stuck at minimum 4 items there.
- ianf ⌘
@Ianf: Select the empty list in question (you'll have to do each one separately), and click 'Delete' at the top. :) I agree this could be streamlined better.
- Karl Knechtel
Ahsan, yes FF should. There is no way I want my Saved Searches at the bottom there!! If you have a lot of Subscriptions is *very* annoying to scroll way down to get to, what I would say, is FriendFeed's second most important new filter behind real-time! Please put back or give us the option to select what boxes we see and where they are in the sidebar? #betakoltag-ob
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes ++ Ahsan and Kol, I have more Groups than Saved Searches - I use my saved searches more than groups. If your Saved Searches are falling off the page - try viewing at 90% 0r 80%. (Viewing at 100% is far too big for me, and I'm half blind.) -[

April, you made that tiger costume just for the wedding, right?
- Gabe
I actually made that tiger costume for a Halloween party at Oracle (where I used to work) in 2000. Afterwards, I decided to visit Paul at his workplace (Google) to show him my creation. I asked him if he wanted to try it on and at first he said no, but after some convincing ("Are you sure? It's pretty cool.") he tried it on. Before I knew it, he was going around the office demanding...

Hilarious.
- Akiva
At that point, that's when I turned to Gabe and instructed him to not let Paul wear the tiger costume to our wedding. Gabe replied something to the effect of "He has his own will. I can't tell him what to do." (correct me if I'm wrong, Gabe)
- April Buchheit
I just want to state, for the record, that Paul did *not* wear the tiger costume during the ceremony. He just wore it for the pictures afterwards. He did say that he was glad that he didn't wear it during the ceremony because it was such a hot day and the church didn't have air conditioning.
