Sicuramente scriverò una banalità già nota ai più, ma lavorando a fondo con le API di FriendFeed, mi sono reso conto che è possibile mettere in Hide un post *solo* quando si consulta la timeline principale (il feed Home per intenderci). Se si esplorano i gruppi o le liste, invece no.
[quesito tecnico linguistico] Ogni elemento (o thread) inserito su Friendfeed è definito (da specifiche) come "Entry". Come lo tradurreste in italiano: "voce", "elemento", "articolo", "post", ... boh ?
@giuliana, conversazione non è male. Forse è un pò lungo ... :-) @Sara, anche a me piace entry, ma non è troppo anglofono (e poi non farebbe a cazzotti con "commenti" ed "é piaciuto a" ?

Now having done some more work against the API, I have to say that one of the greatest things about Friendfeed is the way it normalizes content from a bunch of different sites better than raw RSS could ever hope to. I find this inspiring.
But why, oh why, does the v1 API have more detail than the v2, specifically related to attachments? Seems like v2 needed a little more love and someone was going to get back to it before releasing it, but it never finished getting attention.

Acc, io non ho FFHOUND. Peccato che non ne esista una versione lite per verificarne le funzionalità e decidere se piace + o - di BuddyFeed.

@clock: hai ragione, al momento la navigazione funziona devo includere tutti i comandi. sto cercando una soluzione carina per le shortcut (credo che opterò per lo style popup di android)

A me basta che mettiate il supporto al multitasking e poi posso pensare di comprarla

Ffhound è meglio di buddyfeed e anche di parecchio. Io lo testo volentieri eh

come già scritto la navigazione è completata e anche qualche comando (like,hide....) sto curando molto la parte di ottimizzazione di memoria (al momento 0 memleaks!). Se ce la faccio spero di farvelo trovare sotto l'albero di natale ma non ve lo posso promettere :-P
- ✔ Crino
Crino confidiamo in te :) Ah, una cosa; per favore non fate come la 1.1.1 che si poteva installare solo con firmware 4.1 o superiori. Secondo me dovreste dare la possibilità anche a chi ha firmware inferiori di installarlo, cioé dal 4 in su, giusto per la compatibilità del multitasking...no?
- Valle
Max non dire minchiate tu. Se io ho il firmware 4.0 e non voglio passare al 4.1 per quale motivo un'app non mi deve funzionare? Non sto parlando di firmware antichi ma di quello precedente... Ci sono migliaia di app e giochi che hanno compatibilità da firmware 3.1 e ogni volta che c'è un aggiornamento dell'app o del gioco la compatibilità non cambia. Non vedo per quale motivo FFhound non possa fare lo stesso...
- Valle
Is there a way to get the filename for attached media, as it existed on the filesystem of the user who did the upload? The alt and title attributes are set to the uploaded filename on the friendfeed website, so it shows in a hoverover tooltip, but I can't see where to get this in the API.
Found it in the v1 API; gonna try to merge it in to the v2 thumbnails list my code is already setup to handle. Maybe someone wants to risk breaking things and could add a new "title" field to the thumbnail objects returned in v2?
- Andy Bakun
are we already able to "share to" FFHound?
- Marcos Marado
you can share any text, image with FFHound, but you can share entries from FFHound with any other app on your device which supports share command ;)

e nient', mi dice l'anonimo che i feed di extratorrent in realtà non contengono link ai torrent ma alle pagine del sito, quindi a tutt'oggi gli unici feed che servano a qualcosa sono quelli di ezrss - che però ormai vengono aggiornati ogni morte di papa. è desolante, siamo circondati di cretinetti che pensano solo a raggranellare quattro spiccioli coi banner, così bisogna continuare a fare tutto a manina...

Ok, so I built a little tool to batch-unsubscribe from FriendFeed users. It will be styled later, but it does the job. http://ffbatch.brettkelly.org - please test it out and let me know if it breaks :)
ah, yeah, I actually meant to do that before posting it :)
- Brett Kelly

No, don't bother hiding the passphrase. How often are you using something like this from a public computer, or where someone can see your screen?
- Michael R. Bernstein
Brett, it would be nice if the tool showed some metrics next to each name (comments, likes, some kind of mutual compatibility or engagement measure) and let you sort by that as well.
- Michael R. Bernstein
This is great Brett! Is the source somewhere or is it closed source?
- EricaJoy
I may open the source up at some point, but I have large plans for the FF API (not necessarily selling anything, but plans nonetheless). We'll see how it goes :)
- Brett Kelly
No worries, what I want to do isn't possible yet anyhow. :)
- EricaJoy
from IM
Create a way to subscribe to all subscribers. Subscribers aren't exposed via the API (yet) so this seems either very hard or impossible now.

FriendFeed API is broken now. My FF Apps are screwed. FriendFeed's example OAuth App is also broken. http://friendfeed-api.appspot.com Sometimes FriendFeed becomes down and it SUCKS. However, we have a ***2010 DUCK***... Holy crap. Thank you FF Team. Happy new year, OK?
Alp, the API works for me - can you clarify what error is occurring for you?
- Bret Taylor
Bret's response is why I love FriendFeed - would you get a response from Ev or Biz, or even one of the higher up devs on Twitter? (Thanks for staying involved, Bret)
- Jesse Stay
Bret, API is not always working. For example just 1 hr ago http://friendfeed-api.appspot.com/ this login was not working for anyone, however it works now. I stopped some of my apps since sometimes users could not login successfully. IMHO, there is a problem with OAuth. This problem started this week and my apps were up for months. Many of my developer friends observed that even example...

I just wrote a simple program which can download a public user's feeds (+attachments) and save them to your local file system. This program has been written in java under the GNU Public License (freeware). You may download the program and the source files from - http://www.speedyshare.com/files...
Thanks Farhad. It's just a simple program. It doesn't download private feeds. If you have a private feed, you have to make it public during the backup process. If I find some time, I will make the next versions which should be able to do more :)
- ؛ patrick
I haven't done much error handling. If there is any issue, please let me know and I will fix them
- ؛ patrick
Thank You man. It Works! I download all my feeds, images and music files!
- Serkan Algur
cool :) I am glad it worked for you. you can actually use it for other people as well ;-)
- ؛ patrick
u're right but some people can say 'this is not ethic' but i can use :)))
- Serkan Algur
No, don't get me wrong. I meant, if someone is not technical, you can download their feeds for them. That's what I did for a friend of mine.
- ؛ patrick
You're right again :) Actually i didn't think about technical/non-technical people side :D Thanks Again!
- Serkan Algur
@Serkan, you are welcome. I didn't have much time to make it executable. It's hard for most of people to run programs from command line :))
- ؛ patrick
پتریک به کامنتم توجه نکردی! من میرم خودکشی میکنم :دی :)))
- Nima Nilian ★彡
@sia, did it cut your socket? I think you are right because I was able to download all my feeds but the second session failed in between. You have the source. You can actually change the source and run it for a single feed
- ؛ patrick
ها ها ها - بابا جان برو روی استارت ِ ویندوزت کلیک کن. بعد تایپ کن "سی ام دی" و انتر رو بزن. کامند پرامپت باز میشه. بعد باید اون یکی رو که توی نقل قول گذاشتم تایپ کنی و به من بگی چی میگیری
- ؛ patrick
سزار جان اینی که گفتی دقیقن درست. نیما و بقیه دوستان هم باید به این مرحله که تو هستی برسن که بتونن برنامه را اجرا کنن. نکته اش در اینه که نباید روی فایلی که پسوندش ".جار" هست دبل کلیک کنی. توی همون کامند که هستی، باید بری توی اون دایرکتوری که برنامه هست و دستوری که توی فایل "رید-می-دات-تکست" هست را اجرا کنی. توی کامنت بعدیم برات دوباره می نویسمش که اشتباهی چیز دیگری نزنی
- ؛ patrick
c:\myfolder> java -jar ffbackup.jar patrickestarian c:/backup/ff
- ؛ patrick
میتونی با هر تکست ادیتوری بازش کنی. میتونی هم با برازر (مثلن همین فایر فاکس) بازش کنی. ولی معمولن بهترین کار اینه که یک برنامه اکس ام ال ادیتور استفاده کنی
- ؛ patrick
LOL, is that supposed to be good for me? :))) and BTW, did it work for you?
- ؛ patrick
Thank you! and I am glad it's helpful. I am working on a better version. If time permits, I will add directs and other discussions to the backup.
- ؛ patrick
I'm trying this out. Advance many thanks for continuing to code apps for FriendFeed. You rock!
- AJ Batac
Thanks AJ. Please let me know if you have any problem.
- ؛ patrick
@Greg, that's what some other users reported. Did it die when it was downloading an mp3?
- ؛ patrick
ok, thanks. I will try to find the problem and fix it.
- ؛ patrick
Thank you very much for this! I dropped a link to this post in Archive Team's IRC channel. Maybe they will add this to their list of site specific backup tools on their wiki: http://www.archiveteam.org
- April Russo
I am having the same problem with it dying while trying to download an mp3. "Unknow content type: audio/mpeg Downloading (5428511 bytes) ... to: ERROR: Could not perform the request. The root cause is: java.lang.StringIndexOu tOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1"
- April Russo
Thank you very much April. And sorry for the inconvenience. I spent a few more hours on the program and version 1.1 is on the way. It must fix the OutOfMemoryError and OutOfBoundsException and also I have new features such as authentication, direct and discussions, and better file names. I am a little tired now. Hopefully I will release it tomorrow. Please stay tuned ;-)

Given that FF search isn't working so often, I could use this to make a copy of my stuff and search locally. However, I just haven't got the tech-savvy to make this work. Sounds cool for those who can.
- Spidra Webster
I commented back on that link Patrick. Pasting it here:
- AJ Batac
1) I have more than 30GB of free space and running a machine with 4GB of RAM 2) I was here when it stopped. http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... don't know if that's the reason. So honestly I don't know how to answer your question. Question: If I run it again, using the same parameters. Would it: a) Start where it ended? b) Overwrite the current XML files c) Create duplicates?
- AJ Batac
@Spidra, do you have problem with running the program? please let me know what you have done so far. You have to 1- download the file from the URL that I provided in the title of this link. 2- extract the .zip file under c:/ffbackup 3- open README.TXT and follow the instructions 4- if still you have problem, send a comment here and I will help you with that
- ؛ patrick
@AJ, thanks. I saw your reply. I have made a new version (1.1.0) which should fix that problem. I will post another link when it's ready. Thanks again

آره نیما. حتمن اگر فرصتی شد اون رو هم انجام میدم. فعلن دارم ورژن بعدی این برنامه رو کامل می کنم که برای کسانی که به راحتی نمی تونن برنامه جاوا اجرا کنن، کار راحت تر بشه. در ضمن امکانات جدید هم بهش اضافه کردم
- ؛ patrick
hi patrick, i dont why but i couldn't run the files. one of jar files (ffbackup.jar) does not respond at all and the other one (ffbackup-src.jar) shows an error that says "could not find the main class: org/patrickestarian/ff/Backup.Program will exit." how can i fix this? thanx for sharing..

Hi everyone! I'm trying to upload an image to FF through my iPhone app.. I authenticated using OAuth and I am able to post an entry with title, links, etc. But when I try to add a file, the request times out. I'm using ASIHTTPRequest to build the POST request. Any idea?
I'm trying with Basic Auth, too, but it still returns "Request timed out".. it's strange because the body of the request is correctly built, and I'm using ASIHTTPRequest for a lot of other POST requests, with no problems...
- An Imaginary Boy
anyone was able to upload any file (images or whatever) to FF using the python library at http://code.google.com/p...? if not, maybe using a different (still python) solution? I'm stuck on this, any help will be appreciated, thank you
thank you benjamin, but i can see all the examples with curl uses the remote-key, is it possible to use it with oauth too?
- esorciccio
It should. Just sign it the way you normally would
- Benjamin Golub
uhm the way my application sign in right now is passing oauth stuff at every single call in the urllib2 requests. btw I was trying to integrating Poster in the "official" python library... actually I don't want to switch to curl because I'm having problems on a single operation :P (thanks anyway)
- esorciccio
You should be able to do multipart/form-data encoding and file uploads with urllib2. A quick Google search revealed a bunch of interesting looking articles.
- Benjamin Golub
yep, I'm looking for that since yesterday or so :) the fact is all my attemps for now are unsuccessful. I don't give up but I'd llke to find something ready to use sometimes :P
- esorciccio
well, i tried out a lot of sample code found on the web but each try ends in a 401 or i get my app freezed waiting a reply from FF. it's such a waste of time for a "dead SN walking" like this, so i give up :)

This is a FFHound's preview for Android. Graphic and layout are inspired by official Twitter android client. Icons, colors etc... must be still completed.
@Maxime: certo ;) ...la versione su cui sto lavorando per android sarà portata su iphone e ipad con le stesse funzionalità (os permettendo) ;)

Esiste un apk dell'applicazione (anche in fase beta)? Grazie.
