Friendfeed needs to time-stamp the comments.

Yeah, that is something that I have been thinking about.
- Kevin Bondelli
Less thinking more action ;)
- Alberto Reyes
A tooltip maybe on hover over the quote graphic. Keep it clean
- Andrew Smith
Optional feature - timestamp - not default.
- Susan Beebe
great idea!
- Sarah Perez
it must be part of the API, since fftogo seems to include a time stamp on the comments
- Trent Olson
I'm sure they do store the timestamp, even if it isn't currently displayed.
- Mack D. Male
Yeah, it's in the api, all comments & likes are timestamped
- Glenn Slaven
I think this is a perfect plan. The only issue I might have is that the time information might take-over the conversations. It might just look more cluttered than FF already is.
- Ryne Nelson
It would be useful sometimes.
- Morton Fox
concur, very useful to have. Make it a display option. Those who would think it's clutter can turn it off then.
- Alexander Falk
It is in the API (I use them in fftogo). I vote that the timestamp should appear as text when you hover over the "thought bubble" to the left.
- Benjamin Golub
All comments are time-stamped in AlrertThingy and feedalizr
- Stephen B
from Alert Thingy
Comments are time stamped in bTT as well.
- Francois Bochatay
from bTT
and also in twhirl
- Marco Kaiser
from twhirl
agreed. Timestamps are important
- Peter Dawson
What about a comment alert?! How do you follow conversations on ff!?
- TommaSorchiotti
Not sure if this will add to the functionality, but should be something they can try out...
- Dennis Goedegebuure
Not sure a comment alert is necessary. Comments bring the post up to the top of the timeline, which makes it available for anyone who is currently paying attention to Friendfeed. (Not sure why anyone would want their attention brought to Friendfeed if it isn't already there, that would be a huge productivity drain).
- Jason Wehmhoener
Please, please remember that the whole world doesn't run on PDT. I don't want to see timestamps in my FF in gReader and have to always try to guess whether the west coast is 17, 16, or 15 hours behind. If you must display timestamps, please put them in GMT. Setting the timestamps on my FF page/in my FF feed to be correct in my local timezone would be even nicer.
- James Polley
yeah ! and a hide fonction for each comment
- Jonathan
منم به فارسی تایید می کنم
- Kamal
we know which came first... but in n argument the comments can edit. that makes time stamping very important so we know when someone made a change
- Noah David Simon
a timeline function in general would be nice, make everything more timeframe friendly
- Ruben Llibre
Show times either in GMT or in my own timezone, and just make it a tooltip for the quote balloon or something. Don't want it to look cluttered.
- Pat Hawks
just make the time relative from each comment, so I know who said what when in perspective. like 5 minutes later Noah David Simon said. <--this opens up
- Noah David Simon
like i said earlier about plurk :)
- kosmar
Is i really important to know when every single comment is made? Only the last one would really be useful, could have 'last comment on june 1 at..." right beside the date of the post.
- John Duff
If the timestamp is a tooltip, then it isn't really "in the way." Maybe we can have all the timestamps as tooltips, except the most recent comment will have the timestamp printed out below it, like John said.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
I am so tired of entering an empty room and talking to myself for twenty minutes. lol
- Russellreno
A needed feature for sure I agree. I suggested this to the FF feedback room some weeks ago.
- Mike Fruchter
Any news?
- Amiroo ™
<--- try hover your mouse cursor on that little dialog icon
- topo
Sorry it's not more obvious, but if you hover your mouse over the comment icon you will see the time that the comment was made. Thanks for letting us know that it's hard to find! The feedback is much appreciated.
- Ross Miller
I believe they are timestamped but this data is not yet displayed.... you're right !
- David Berrebi
other than timestamp I also want to be able to like the comments individually =]
- Özgür D. Cyric
This thread shows what happens when nobody reads the comments before theirs
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Agreed. The entire time...
- Zachary Poley
from twhirl
Rahsheen, your point is awesome right now :)
- Zachary Poley

Social Media Desktop App Sobees Launches New Version - http://on10.net/blogs...
David Ziembicki liked this
Sobees, creator of a .NET/WPF desktop app for social media junkies, has just launched a new version. This latest release adds Digg to the list of supported services which already includes Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr, as well as RSS feeds, too. The Facebook integration has also been revamped to allow for the addition of the full Facebook stream – that means you can see the comments now, not just the updates themselves. One of the things the aggregator is good for is tracking a various topic across the social web. Sobees even offers a few built-in modules for following popular subjects. New modules in this release (which are, by the way, strangely called “bDules” – I know, I don’t get, either) include MLB, NFL, Soccer, and Tennis. Incidentally, “bDule” is also the name of another product by Sobees which is a single window application for tracking just Twitter and Facebook. One final improvement has to do with the aesthetics of the app. Before, there was a rather large and...
- Jeff Sandquist
I think sobees has a lot of potential and is a good showing for the .NET/WPF platform. Regarding sobees and friendfeed integration, in the earlier version friendfeed comments were visible but I don't see them in this later release and don't see options to turn them on. Hopefully I'm just missing a setting somewhere...
- David Ziembicki
Thank you. The FriendFeed issue is very strange, it was perfectly working some days ago. We will check it.
- Francois Bochatay
Anyone else have a problem with the sobee bTT client for FF? It spikes my CPU from 50-100%
Except occasionally during refresh, window resizing, playing video..., CPU should be at 0. If you mail me more information at info (at) sobees.com I would be happy to investigate.
- Francois Bochatay
What is the most annoying thing in bTT right now..
I think its SCROLLING!! They have programmed it in such a way that one item is counted one line.. Now, when I scroll with middle mouse wheel, system settings are such that it scrolls 3 lines.. So, bTT scrolls three stories (events).. Just imagine having one event with 57 comments (most prob scoble's one) and I want to see it in bTT, there is no way!! (Even if you click the scrollbar down arrow, it scrolls one entry at a time, and I just see 8 comments on my screen, how do I see rest of it, damn it!!)
- Jigar Mehta
I fully agree with you. We had to deal with the following choices: virtualisation of the items and scrolling issue (it scrolls from one item to the next) or no virtualisation and better scrolling but limitation of the number of items displayed. We are currently investigating how we can make it better. By the way, thanks for the creation of the room.
- Francois Bochatay
Francois, are you developer of bTT? If you are, many thanks for such a great tool development.. Way to go !!
- Jigar Mehta
The GUI is very nice: nice widgets, navigation over Flickr slides, zoom in photo, widget animation, auto-refresh. The drawback, it's crashing very often when scrolling. I'm using Windows XP, does anyone over there experiencing these issues ?
- ZakMb
Thanks for the feedback. Our testing on XP went fine, but we will make investigation on this specific issue.
- Francois Bochatay
Thx for the comment. Do you have plan to support handheld devices: WM , iPhone ?
- ZakMb
We are working on a Silverlight version which will be supported by some handheld devices (Window Mobile, Nokia, ...).
- Francois Bochatay
How would it be if, bTT gets capability to post to Rooms!!
Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider this in a future release.

important = anything not involving Jessica Simpson and/or Tony Romo

It's ok to miss something... You don't have to read everything. The cool part about FriendFeed is that YOU determine what's important. If I wanted it fed to me, I'd go to Techmeme, or some other service.
- Bwana ☠
that would definitely make FF THE killer app!
- julian_marain
from twhirl
Importance would be defined by the number of Likes and Comments.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Important things are different from one to another, so i guess it would need a filter.
- Nir Ben Yona
Search function is not powerful enough to express the notion of importance. :)
- Morton Fox
I guess they could use the Flickr model of interestingness?
- Gerard van Schip
If you can decide on a set of parameters that would normally catch your eye as important, I'm sure Greasemonkey can do the rest.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
from twhirl
How about make a search page and subscribe to the RSS feed in a reader with smart groups.
- Tom Landini
You mean, "I want a page that shows what important stuff I missed while I got my usual 3 hours of sleep last night without my internet IV stuck in my arm."
- Thomas Hawk
akiva wins the prize. Things that have likes and comments.
- Robert Scoble
Could there be some functionality like AideRSS?
- Alex Williams
perfect idea...just came back from kitchen with salmon for lunch and sat down to "catch up on Frienfeed", so this idea is perfect! thanks for suggesting it! hear that Bret and Paul?
- Susan Beebe
Me to; I have been working on a new GraffitiCMS theme for my site to bring FriendFeeds into the site in this manner. Looked at Scobles FriendFeed widget on his sidebar but that is just http://friendfeed.com/embed... also looked at Pirillo’s Social Me page-not sure what that is yet.
- Kevin Tunis
This is why when I hide things, I don't hide them if they have likes and/or comments. My important stuff is on my main feed. I go venturing out on the everyone feed.
- Bwana ☠
in case you closed that "second page" without scrolling/seeing all of it could come with another page - for the skipped bits ;)
- Tudor
from Alert Thingy
Now I know FF is really popular: I'm not the only user named Tudor any more.
- Tudor Bosman
I think "important" stuff is really just making a group/category of a select few friends, or a global tab of a combo of 'most comments + likes". I'm sure someone is building a firefox plugin right now! (never used the group plugin I've heard about already)
- karl dotter

Robert. Te best thing about ANY aggregating service is that life goes on when you leave it. Forget about what you missed. Look at what is passing by when you return. If you missed something it's old news already
- Alexander van Elsas
Does anyone else find it interesting that Robert Scoble defines what is important as what other people liked or commented on? I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.
- Rob Diana
Well, it's no fun to go back to something that nobody is discussing...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
FriendFeedMachine can sort items by # of comments or likes so that's a start: http://www.friendfeedmachine.com/ Also a good tool would be FriendFeedLinks at http://www.friendfeedlinks.com. But I believe where you add value is finding important stuff before others, so this may not work for you.
- Louis Gray
Something that shows most commented items!
- Dave Peck
The problem is, we start relying on social services for direct communications without taking the time to be "direct". It is a lower priority form of communication. The real answer is, if something is important, it should be sent directly. If it is big news, it SHOULD make it to the top of the various outlets (tech crunch, cnn, etc...) If not, I agree with Alexander van Elsas. Forget about it, it's old news!
- Joel Gray
@Ron Diana - that's the beauty of human filtering, ain't it? What do people who I trust find interesting.
- Hutch Carpenter
ffmachine looks cool, but I couldn't figure it out in less than 30s so I quit (:
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
@Rahsheen - that's sort of my experience as well. It's beta, so I hope the UI will improve.
- Hutch Carpenter
I didn't bother to look too hard, but I don't think I saw any Help or anything either. I hate when stuff looks really useful...but I don't know how to use it...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I also recommend the Greasemonkey scripts over at http://ffapps.com The group feature is really nice
- Bwana ☠
You do of course see the fault in Robert Scoble's FF strategy. If he only looks at things that others have liked, and we all do that, well, then there isn't much left to be seen. If you are truly a noise adept, then you make decisions without others doing it for you. No need to wait for likes. Be the first to like something (or not).
- Alexander van Elsas
There is already a thread started on the Feedback group for it. Or at least for some way of noting what you've already seen and what's new.
- xero
Completely agree!
- Marcie Lascher
Showing what is popular, either generally or with a chosen subset of people, would be a big Friendfeed plus. Actually, I don't know if I need that filter -- you've been a pretty good filter, just seeing what you like.
- Alex Hammer
Agree 100%
- richrecruiter
Soon, soon ;)

how do you define important?

Robert, I appreciate your efforts, but I'm afraid that if I follow you (and you follow me in return), I'll have to deal with a lot of noise, and a lot of hype. Once you get worked up about something, you have this need to talk about it all the time, and to impose your point of view (ex: FaceBook). That's why I unsubscribed from your blog a while back. I couldn't deal with it any more. You shot down two of my comments without even bothering to consider them. Take this for what it's worth, no hard feelings.

OMG!!!

don't want to ruin the party - but it's not a great app in my opinion - the interface needs a lot more work. The ratio of information per pixel is too low. It doesn't show if a story has been liked, commented on etc. unless you mouse over it. Resizing the app only makes the fonts bigger... Alert Thingy looks a lot more promising.
- Frederic
@Frederic True, but I actually like that you have a separate window for comments and likes, in order to save screen space, though I wish that particular section had the ability to resize the font also.
- Corvida
Resizing is a problem - but I scan my Friendfeed items by specifically looking for 'likes' and comments - bTT doesn't help me there. It's a good effort - just hope it gets better :)
- Frederic
I really wish you could go the the link of an item without having to select it fist, then clicking 'www'
- Glenn Slaven
Points taken, thanks :) There are plenty of possibilities and we want to further develop it based on your feed-backs. @Frederic We will add symbols to show if an item is commented/liked in the main flow. @Corvida we wanted to add a slider for the font sizing in the panel but we were afraid it would be too much. We will try again. @Glenn, the difficulty was to make it generic for all services, we will check what is possible.
