Try http://friendfeed.com/search... It's also fun to watch the embedded search on the blog blog post (http://friendfeed.com/search...). You can see people discussing the blog post, from the blog post, in real time!

Impressive! Now you can save real time searches as embeddable widgets. That's just awesome! This is a massively POWERFUL feature. Thank you FF team!

Lol, you flipped the switch before the post came out as far as I can tell. I was searching for it and I couldn't see it.

Good work. Much-anticipated.

@Jesse: It's a dead twitter command "track keyword" sends you realtime updates whenever the word is used. Think of it like realtime google alerts for friendfeed.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I'm pretty sure Gillmor et al kept calling it "track" because that's what Twitter called it back when they had it for a week.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
On a related note, live embeddable searches mean that I can hack together my own FF embeds for the pages that don't have them yet, like say "comment:dpritchett" http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, Twitter never had this - this isn't "track"
- Jesse Stay
you guys rock.
- Karoli
...wowsers! Very nice!
- JA Castillo (جاسون)
The blogpost said they're working to implement "keyword notifications" Jesse, that will be "track"
- Frankie Warren
Twitter's brought back track, it's just no one cares. You can now have updates by keyword on Twitter pushed to you, via XMPP, just like track used to. Gillmor says that's not track.
- Jesse Stay
That's why I hate the term "track" - no one knows what it is. The way Paul is explaining it, as real-time search, is a much better way of explaining it.
- Jesse Stay
I guess we're still missing the realtime notifications piece that folks want. You can shape the firehose to watch terms in realtime but you can't yet get it pushed outside of FF via email or IM?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, Twitter has that right now, but Gillmor says that's not track

- phil baumann
Yay! This is the killer feature (once it's in the API, of course ;)
- Brandon Titus
I'd love to see a blog post about how this is implemented. Real-time search has some interesting problems.
- Chris Lamprecht
I take it back - I can't integrate this into my blog until I can filter it to a single list. I really need an embed for "comment:dpritchett list:e20" except lists are still virtual in that no one other than me can see them unless I use the atom export.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Awesomeness! I'm loving this right now.

Wow you guys rock!
- Alfredo
I am sloooooooooooow. But what/where is the template to make the embeddable widget. please?
- Marg Uerite
You're right Jesse - it's not exactly Track but it's getting a lot closer. The old Twitter Track allowed you to set up multiple search terms (e.g. track iphone) and get those delivered to your IM with zero time lag. At any time you could type "track" to see what you're currently tracking and "untrack" to untrack something - e.g. "untrack iphone". There are some third party tools that...

- Mike Doeff
Paul, is there a way to change the title of the embed? The long search string looks kinda bad.
- Jesse Stay
Mike, Twitter offers that today. Gillmor says it's not Track.
- Jesse Stay
Marg, after you do a search, click the "Share / embed search" link to get the embed code.
- Dan Hsiao
Jesse, are you sure? Can you provide a URL describing this feature? I think you're referring to Twitter Search (and saved searches) which is totally different.
- Mike Doeff
Mike, it's in beta and available to developers, but it's back, minus SMS support: http://staynalive.com/article...
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, when / where did Gillmor say that isn't track? I'm pretty sure that Steve just wants the old track brought back, with some filtering capabilities added (the old Track didn't filter out blocked accounts).
- Mike Doeff
Yay! Have been eagerly awaiting this. :)
- Rick Turoczy
Mike, he's said in various comments. Looks like Track to me... Heck, it's even called "track".

Highly addictive--great stuff! I did notice that if you do a search like [google] you'll see dupe stories streaming by quite a bit (e.g. the TechCrunch story about Google Voice shows up over and over right now). Not sure if it's possible to de-dupe based on destination url a little bit more?

Just checked the label on my supplement and realized that even with one serving of powder a day my protein intake is still at or below 0.5g/lb body weight. I eat so little meat that I'd have to have 5 or 6 powder-enhanced milkshakes to meet quota. Guess I need to start eating more lean meat.

Most of the meat I eat is lean, I just don't make a daily habit of eating a slab of chicken or anything.

It looks like I was thrown off by the fact that the USRDA of protein seems to be 50g rather than the 182g I'd need to hit the "one gram per pound" maxim.

Tuna, yogurt and peanut butter are always nice sources to help out with your protein intake. Also, you can try looking for a powder option that is high in whey isolate (not concentrate).
- Rob
quick primer on protein - yogurt is a carb food, peanut butter is a fat food - the majority macro-nutrient determines the type of food it is - so for protein, cottage cheese, lean meats, some reduced fat cheeses, eggs, and protein powders are protein foods - you can get some complete (all 10 essential amino acids) protein from yogurt, quinoa, milk, and a few other sources - protein in...

FriendFeed Makes Its Search Results Real-Time Too - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
"@Eric - It would be a lot more useful to you if the search had been techcrunch likes:1 comments:1 that would’ve tossed out 90% of the chaff. That said, I understand why MG didn’t do that - it wouldn’t look nearly as fast with 10% of the flow."

This is why people should have to have some sort of license to keep exotic pets. Or maybe they just shouldn't keep them. I don't know.
- LLL
Apparently the owner should have had a permit, which he did not have. People can be really stupid. I can't imagine keeping a predatory animal like that near children. Making a pet of an un-domesticated animal can be dangerous. I don't blame the snake - I blame the adults.
- Katy S
The good thing about the owner is he can probably hook his house up to one of his trucks in the yard and move to a different place. Snakes are not pets.
- vosey
Snakes can be pets- but I don't know why anyone would keep a python.
- Kårín Dalzĭel
"...at least 12 people have been killed in the U.S. by pet pythons since 1980, including five children." How horrifying.
- DGentry
I have no problem with snakes as pets, but people have to know what they're doing. An 8 ft python and a 2-year old child are not a good combination. Plus, those Burmese pythons get huge!! Most people can't handle that sort of snake long-term. It's just irresponsible.
- Katy S
Golden retrievers kill people too- again, it's not the pet, as much as the owner.

The thought of snakes doesn't sacre me or anything, b ut I can't imagine keeping one as a pet...
- Ian May
"A pet Burmese python measuring more than 8 feet long broke out of a terrarium and strangled a 2-year-old girl in her bedroom Wednesday at a central Florida home, authorities said. Shaiunna Hare was already dead when paramedics arrived at about 10 a.m., Lt. Bobby Caruthers of the Sumter County Sheriff's Office said."
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I'm assuming the terrarium top wasn't heavy enough. I have friends who have pythons and kids and they make sure the snake is in a secure cage. You don't keep a python in a terrarium with no heavy cover. Those things are strong. I had a friend who had his covered with plywood with concrete bricks on top and the snake would still get loose and it was young. Cage is the way to go.

"Enter Yammer’s PR department. They took my blog post and linked to it on their forums and then tweeted it. There’s nothing wrong with that. But they created a new title “Yammer Enables Fewer Meetings – Saves Forrester $10,000 a Month” – yikes that’s not what I said! In fact the blog post did not mention the name Forrester – this was quite deliberate. I don’t speak for Forrester and did not want anyone to misquote me."
- Daniel J. Pritchett
"Then they made a fake case study. They took an image of me they found online and image of Forrester’s corporate office, and crafted what appears to be a case study. They took an excerpt from my blog and edited it to say what they wished I had said. Neither I nor Forrester were contacted by Yammer to give permission to endorse them. "

When school is in, about 40 minutes from Marina Del Rey to Malibu, all along Pacific Coast Highway. I take the sideroads (which may or may not be quicker) up to the 1, then drive along the ocean for 25 minutes. It's pretty easy to stay sane when the Pacific is your view along the commute.

i dont think its a tactic that works. the 'public taunting' of sorts can actually backfire.

There is no tactful way to force someone to respond to you. I'd just forward the original email with a "hey have you made any progress on this" lead or if that failed I'd try actually calling.

No way.

No, I'd leave 'em alone. But there may be clever ways to get their attention using the @ reply.

Never follow up publicly and always give a few days response time at the very least for e-mail. If you needed a faster response, you should've used IM and if it was critical, you pick up the phone.

- Sameer
Part of getting a quick response is also asking the right question. The more complex the answer to your question is, the more likely people are to be paralyzed by indecision, put it aside until they have time to write up a proper response, and then forget about it entirely. Do your best to streamline your conversation partner's decision tree.

Funny discussion by @peterkim and @markstevens20 about the need to give your kids unique names in a social media world http://friendfeed.com/bhc3...
Meryn Stol, Jorge "JungleG" Escobar and Anika Malone liked this
It's the new personal branding kick - kids with unique names can still snap them up as .coms and twitter handles. I manage to be the first dpritchett on plenty of services but I still get wayward emails addressed to other dpritchetts.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Indeed, "Meryn" works quite well for me. I'm able to register with my first name on most services. My parents were *clearly* ahead of their time. ;) Also, give them a last name which is pronounceable in English if you don't have one.

Yes, Hindi. Even watching the abundance of YouTube videos on learning it doesn't quite help. They're either boring to me or they don't give me any translation because they're made for kids.

Some people hire overseas tutors for their school kids via Skype. Maybe you could do that or work out a free arrangement where you take turns practicing English and your chosen language with a remote partner.

Daniel, that's how I do Spanish. There's a guy in Colombia who works with my Spanish and I help him with English. I don't have that with Hindi and I've realized that none of my friends here are useful since they mostly speak Punjabi or Urdu. They can't even read it, which is something I've come across here with my Spanish-speaking friends. They can speak Spanish, but they can't read it.

You get extra credit for trying then. How about a short review: audience ( guessing all since you mentioned your dancing abilities :) ..., options to turn off backgound? , Easy to follow..., worth the price..., do they have "a learn this' option, best thing, worst thing...
- SportyGeek (Tracy)
Audience: Tween and up due to racy dancer outfits ;) Doesn't assume you know anything about dancing. Each lesson starts off with a few simple steps then builds on it until you've got the rudiments of a dance down (like say Samba).
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Options: Each chapter is a dance (samba, merengue, chacha, a few others) and you can play it either with a spoken instructional audio track or with an instrumental audio track. The instrumental tracks seem odd since the instructors' lips are still moving but I suppose it would be nice on viewing #200. Oh, there's also a warmup segment with a bit of stretching while dancing in place.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Easy to follow - not bad really. I tend to get lost after about the fifth or sixth new step when the implicit difficulty ratchets up to "moderate" but I figure that just gives me something to aim for in future sessions. I can always stick to the simpler steps while I'm puzzling it out.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I haven't noticed a "learn this" option for inspecting particular moves but I'll shout if I notice any great features hidden in the menus.

Best part - sexy dancers making sexy dances easy and fun. I don't mean that in a creepy way, but it's a nice way to feel good about yourself while Cheryl and Maksim lead you through some sensual self-expression.

Price - couldn't tell you, my wife bought it. I'd say it's worth $20 to me. Edit - looks like it's $10 or so on Amazon. Sure, why not.

Djangobook Chapter 3: Views and URLconfs - http://www.djangobook.com/en...
"You can do that with Django (and we’ll tell you how in Chapter 7), but one of Django’s core philosophies is that URLs should be beautiful. The URL /time/plus/3/ is far cleaner, simpler, more readable, easier to recite to somebody aloud and … just plain prettier than its query string counterpart. Pretty URLs are a characteristic of a quality Web application. Django’s URLconf system encourages pretty URLs by making it easier to use pretty URLs than not to."
