Glad you used the Bookmarklet to post this link, haha. - Eric Florenzano

In the general case it's hard for FF to find which images are content, unless there's a Media RSS feed. I was reminding FF developers every so often about MRSS since I wanted it to work for OurDoings, but now that I'm using the API. When people first post stuff to OurDoings it's not always in final form. Now people get it ready first and send it out via the API the same way they were already sending it out by email. So I'm no longer in a hurry for MRSS feeds to work on FF. Somebody else bug them. :-) - Bruce Lewis
