This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

- Jeroen De Miranda
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.
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks!

Can you post the wget version of the command line?

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.

Please stop using ISP email (Gmail is free!). I just discovered that one relatively common ISP seems to be blocking some of our emails because they include the url http://groups.google.com/group... (with that removed, the message gets delivered).
John Mueller, romanzolotarev, Sean Kelly and 43 other people liked this
Spam filtering is too complex to be left up to random perl scripts or whatever these people use. Several months back, a different ISP was blocking our email because the from address included the word "friend" (as in "friendfeed.com").
- Paul Buchheit
i've noted a similar trend as well. most people on isp email (ahem, comcast & earthlink) have a setting that kickbacks anything that isn't coming from an approved list...and the default msg manages to come off as both retarded and pretentious in a "i need to stock shelves of canned food in preparation for y2k" kind of way. i think earthlink's notice even suggests you to CALL the person you're trying to contact so they can add you to their approved list. very annoying.
- James Miao
Sadly, for most people, using email that isn't provided by their ISP is like using a phone that wasn't provided by the phone company before Carterphone. You're playing with dangerous wiring, and 'who do you call if the bell doesn't ring?'.
- Robin Barooah
Big deal, Gmail is currently blocking yahoo-inc.com addresses. It is a hard problem and no one does it perfectly.
- Sam Pullara
Sam, it's very unlikely that they are blocking all of yahoo-inc.com. Perhaps you did a "Report Spam" on that address previously? (which could cause blocking for your account) Regardless, the fact that nobody is perfect does not excuse those that are awful.
- Paul Buchheit
Maybe it wasn't obvious, but just because an ISP is blocking some email messages with that URL in them it doesn't imply that the spam filter that it has is awful. It probably has just gotten a lot of spam with google groups urls in them.
- Sam Pullara
it is interesting how many people stick with their ISP email service. I guess it is hard to change your email identity especially if you have used the one you already have for long.
- Davide D'Incau
I was just going to post a question about best practices re: startups sending email. I am sending email directly from a server with SPF, domainkeys and DKIM all setup correctly. Yahoo still seems to want to put our emails into spam folders for some users. Any pointers on what to avoid (the emails I am sending are very short and contain only some text, a link and a unsubscribe link)/how to debug?
- Arvind Sundararajan
As far as I can tell, there aren't any great options. Some startups that don't have to send much mail just route it through Google. I think there are also some equivalent paid services, but I don't know how good any of them are. As you recall, even Gmail had trouble getting past broken spam filters sometimes.
- Paul Buchheit
I haven't used ISP mail for the best part of ten years. I've changed ISP three times in that time, so it would have been a pain in the ass and expense to keep telling everyone and reprinting cards etc. It's worth paying for a domain for that reason alone, or, nowadays using reliable spam-free email like Gmail. (I gave up on Hotmail and Yahoo way back).
- Ian May
gmail works great for me. I do not see any spam on it. Only stuff I am expecting to find there.
- Davide D'Incau
For our 20-person company, we've been using Google Apps + IMAP very happily for over a year.
- Jeremy Dunck
Even people in my own relatively tech-savvy family still use @aol and @earthlink addresses. It's not that they don't want to use Gmail or similar upgrade, its that they don't want to give up an address that they've had for 10, 15, 20 years. Weird when compared to a few generations later (kids today), when email addresses are treated as disposable identities. However, comcast and earthlink should just outsource email to someone more ... modern.
- DeWitt Clinton
I find it strange that people use ISP e-mail because they want to keep their e-mail address. My parents have changed their e-mail address at least once when they changed providers. Also, their ISP only offers POP3 access. No IMAP. Of course, of the free e-mail out there, only gmail offers IMAP (that I know of).
- Robert Felty
The only reason I haven't completely chucked my AOL mail is because I want to keep those screen names for IMing since I've had them for forever and a day. Unfortunately some family members only know me by those e-mail addys, so it's been a slow uphill battle to get them to start switching to either my hotmail or gmail accounts. I'll win one of these days...
- Hookuh Tinypants
Amanda: you can login as your AOL screen name in Gmail and chat there http://mail.google.com/support...
- Benjamin Golub
Oh I don't use the AOL app for anything anymore. I'm all web-based anyway, and I use Digsby for chat. But the problem is that if I cancel my AOL account, they will cancel my screen names. Which means I will have to get all new screen names because they don't release canceled names back into the wild for like six months.
- Hookuh Tinypants
Not sure what you are saying -- that everybody should only use Gmail? There is a whole range of email providers out there -- free, not free, self managed, outsourced with varying degrees of spam management. Gmail is better than most, but still screws up.
- Brian Sullivan
Back when we got our service from Verizon, they not only included a Verizon email address, but also bundled in MSN, including an msn.com (hotmail) account. I haven't checked the former address in years, but use the latter for my IRL personal communications.
- Ontario Emperor
I son't see any problem with a FFer promoting a given web service in their posts. Happens all the time in fact. Gmail is free and ISP email usually sucks. If you don't like gmail there are other options and you're free to post about them. And if Paul's talking about the same ISP that I have, they pull this kind of crap all the time.
- Vicarbott
Point taken, but the tangential question is why do you use a google group as your main vehicle for user support?
- Laura Norvig
Laura, I actually just replaced the groups link with a link to the friendfeed-feedback room. My point however is that I should not have to worry about a groups.google.com url or some other random detail causing email to get blocked by some dumb filter. I noticed another ISP that blocks our daily-summary emails whenever they include amazon.com links (from someone's wishlist). FriendFeed is full of links, so these naive filters will always cause problems for our users.
- Paul Buchheit
As an aside, I'm not quite sure that FF is yet profiting from our data. Google certainly is because of the ads, but FF isn't quite there yet...
- FFing Enigma
V, I would bet that Gmail protects your privacy better than your ISP does. That said, I agree that there should be multiple competent email providers. I wish that Gmail would open up their sender reputation data, since that's the most powerful and reliable bit in the spam filtering equation. However, even if they do that, most ISPs will still suck because they don't know better, don't care, and their customers don't realize what's going on.
- Paul Buchheit
Are there really ISPs who don't give end users control over whether to use the ISPs spam filters or not? I have ATT, which uses Yahoo Mail, and I can choose whether to use Yahoo filters or get the raw feed (and I do both, on different accounts). I do wish Gmail would let me POP/IMAP my spam folder, if I so chose, some of my Gmail accounts are obscure enough to never get spam and I don't want to miss anything.
- Tinfoil 2.0
"I would bet that Gmail protects your privacy better than your ISP does". Having worked at an ISP all I have to say is "here here!". People think Gmail is evil because they "read" your email to put some ads on it but don't care if your ISP sends your email through something like an IronPort to detect spam.
- Benjamin Golub
The irony is that those same heavyhanded span filters can't be particularly effective otherwise span would have been rendered cost ineffective by now.
- Robin Barooah
I said the same to mum in email tonight... she uses aol she sent pictures of her and dad on holinday in texas...they never showed..crap... i set up a gmail account for her..hopefully she will use it. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Every time Verizon/Yahoo gets a twich, my Mozilla Thunderbird goes down and cannot access the servers. But my Gmail still works. So I would like to go with GMail, completely, but, would I still be using the Verizon/Yahoo servers? Is GMail available through its own servers? Not completely savvy about this. Chris
- Chris Conner
Well, in defense of that ISP... Even Google doesn't use Google Groups, for some of its products because of the spam presumably.

Welcome to the world, Braden! You're a cute little peanut. Daddy hates those plastic packages with all the twistie ties, but it's for your own good. (guess he forgot to order the frustration-free packaging option. Oh well.) You'll be outta that thing playing and striking a pose with your brother and sister in no time!

Can anyone point me to publications/papers/research on Google Suggest? Naively, it seems to be like - "SELECT query,count FROM query_logs WHERE query LIKE 'user_query%' ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 10".
- Space Cowboy
@Cowboy: I don't know of any public papers, but I'm guessing there's a lot of offline processing to extract common queries and phrases. I seriously doubt it could be this fast coming out of a SQL database :)
- Joel Webber
Thanks Webber. I found a great post here (which also links to a patent): http://www.seobythesea.com/...

Two articles that were probably written when Google Suggest launched - http://www.slate.com/id... and http://serversideguy.blogspot.com/2004...

Found a related paper - "Efficient Type-Ahead Search on Relational Data: a TASTIER Approach" - http://dbgroup.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/ligl... - discusses query prediction in relational databases.

There is an app called CardReader for the iPhone (3GS or better) that can scan a business card, send it to a server to OCR it, then import that info into a new contact. It works pretty good on standard looking cards, but fails when the cards have a busy background or such.

I find a post-it note stuck to the bathroom mirror is quite helpful for remembering stuff. That way you'll be reminded that you are awesome first thing in the morning (or whenever you get around to brushing your teeth).

I'm craving a Taco Bell chili cheese burrito. I don't know why; I haven't eaten at Taco Bell for at least 8 years, and I don't even know if they still make said chili cheese burritos. Perhaps my memory of them isn't even accurate. Nonetheless, I must have one.

Your memory serves you correct -- they're called chilitos and were particularly delicious with sour cream Sadly, they were discontinued. A tragic day for chilito fans.
- Mona Nomura
Just had a cheesy bean and rice burrito the other day and it was pretty good. Apparently, the result of an enthusiastic line chef and the taco sauce bottle. ;)

There are only two ways to make BBQ sauce: sweet or right.

And right means spicy.
- Akiva
I'm not following you...is sweet right or wrong?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
BBQ sauce should *never* be sweet.
- I like big Botts
What should it be then? Tangy?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Savory. Anyone who introduces brown sugar, molasses, or maple syrup into BBQ sauce needs to be stripped of their tongs! Stripped, I say!
- I like big Botts
I wield my brown sugar with pride! *shakes brown sugar at Glen*
- ωαřмaiden ☆TeamOtto☆
Can you give an example of a store bought BBQ sauce that meets your specifications?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I like bbq sauce from all regions. It just depends on my mood. I don't, however, like it if it is cloyingly sweet. Most store-bought sauces are overly sweet and, if you look at their ingredients, often list HFCS as the first ingredient. That is not good.
- Katy S
Glen would not approve of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce that I like...and neither would Katy, hehe.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
I usually don't like sweet sauce on my meat. I'm not much of a fan of teriyaki sauce. I love salt. I like BBQ rub.
- Rodfather
Alex - I could probably handle it in small amounts, but not in larger quantities. I have a pretty big sweet tooth, too. I'd rather see actual brown sugar, molasses, honey, etc., in it though. BBQ sauce is one of those items I always read the labels for. It is...enlightening.
- Katy S
Only BBQ "sauce" I hate is what they use in North Carolina. It's just clear vinegar based. YUCK
- iTad
I once had a vinegar-based sauce that I actually enjoyed (albeit on chicken, not beef). It was in Nashville, TN, and it was essentially apple cider vinegar with red pepper flakes (just like you put on pizza) in it. Lots of'em.
- I like big Botts
What they call sauce looked like just nothing. When we finally asked for the real sauce, they gave us a bottle of Tabasco. D'oh!

A quote I just saw: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

LOL That's so true.

Isn't this the truth! lol
- Barbara Neitzel
However, as I've gotten older I've come to question the basis we've traditionally used to classify something a "weed" versus "useful" plant.
- Mark J
Oh yes, I agree. When we moved here, I spent a good time pulling up 3 different weeds. I found out later, that they were beneficial to butterflies. So, I keep some of them, but pull them in the places where it looks ugly. Now, I have a ton of butterflies in my yard during the spring.
- Anika
True. It works the same with people, too. Some of the "showcase" variety aren't very substantial when the going gets rough, but some of the "weeds" turn out to be incredibly insightful and resourceful. ;-)
- Mark J
Heheh... true!

And just experienced this a few minutes ago. Pulling weeds; struggling with them and accidentally pulled out a clump of society garlic AND an amaryllis. *sigh*

friendfeed consolidates my feeds & provides for discovery quite nicely and even if you discover something on your own you can still just add it as a group or an imaginary friend even (still works!) -- probably over 99% of my facebook activity is automated and the rest is my responses to people responding to my feed there... interesting how the strangers on friendfeed provide for a better online community than many afk communities
- Chris Heath
I check in atleast once a day in facebook, just to see what status updates are coming in.
- TrafficBug
I would guess a large percentage. Facebook has the funnel figured out. If they put a more compelling service at the bottom of that funnel, which they could certainly do with the talent they have, then they'll be locked into domination for many years.

Yep it seems like it's 'ok' for Christianity to be the whipping boy here. It's not right. I feel religion is generally a positive aspect of one's life. I know some people have had bad experiences with the religion they've grown up with, but to crap on others sticking with it is unfortunate. This is coming from a Buddhist.

I like mine. The browser is great, I am happy with the amount of apps and I love the how they have made it so easy to share pics on FB, Flickr and Twitter. I also really like the Gmail and Sprint Nav interfaces. I don't care for the on screen keyboard. In my opinion, Apple is the only one to get a keyboard right. The camera can be crappy if your subject isn't still. Also, if you have too many things running at once everything moves really slow.
