Friendfeed search seems to have been broken for the last day or two, and still is as of this moment.

still isn't working? oddly, some searches work, while others don't
- Mike Chelen
yup, it has been. the whole site is falling apart I feel
- Holden Page
searches work intermittently for me
- Jason Miller
thrice click to search after entering thy query (not once, not twice, but thrice) and lo it shall work the third time 0_o
- Mike Chelen
I tried frf search thrice or four times during the past three-four days, but it didnt produce the results I expected even though I had input matching keywords.
- TrafficBug
search seems to work for me but is returning out of date results - only getting results from October - none yet from November. The ff page for users is displaying their recent posts but the API search is not.
- James Tindall
hmm - now the search results are showing posts from today but nothing in between today and the 31st of october. Again the ff site shows a lot of posts in this period but they are not being returned by the search API. for example: http://friendfeed.com/api... and the corresponding ff page http://friendfeed.com/atomless
- James Tindall
Search is still erratic; sort of working intermittently (there are often gaping holes in the search results). 50% of the value of Friendfeed lies in search -- I hope it is fully revived.
- Sean McBride
still not working on my end properly
- Holden Page
What do you think if FriendFeed exposes the Friend lists you're in ala Twitter? Thoughts?

I thought there was a way to do that...I could just be confused :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
HAHA Rap! Rah, there's no way to do it right now
- Jorge Escobar
If someone clicks through to something that tracks referrals while they're using a list, then, yeah, you'd see the list names. Sometimes I'll see what list folks have me on when I check my blog stats.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
That's correct pea. But the majority of people don't track and/or click through to your items.
- Jorge Escobar
I'd definitely would have to change my lists names. LOL
- Anika
That would not be a good thing to do after-the-fact. Better to make a separate public lists feature.
- LogEx
HAHA Anika -- I'm very SFW, so wouldn't worry. BTW, what list am I on *your* profile, Anika? Quick!
- Jorge Escobar
I only have one list, but I'd prefer that list remain private.
- Jason Huebel
Choice to make it public is fine. Private by default.
- Micah Wittman
Micah: absolutely, you choose to make private or public, like Twitter does.
- Jorge Escobar
I prefer how it is here. Users are given a choice to join a group. There's no choice being on a list.
- Rodfather
Rod, Groups and Friend Lists are two different things. I'm talking about exposing what Friend Lists you are in your friend's profiles. Like I have 4 Friends Lists: Influentials, Blog Readers, Cool Friends and Español
- Jorge Escobar
I would definitely need to rename my FFersILF list...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
ILF? Is that...
- Jorge Escobar
* hopes he's not on Rahsheen's list *
- John Craft
:: Hopes he is :: :P
- Jorge Escobar
It wouldn't be so bad. My lists names are so plain. :p
- Rodfather
Mine are fine. I've, at last, updated them today.

In the iPhone version of friendfeed, if you are not logged in and you try to comment, it goes to a signup page instead of a login page. So if you are an existing user you can't sign in. I reported this a few times on the contact us page months ago, but it still hasn't been resolved. Is FriendFeed fixing bug requests like they used to?
Tags/Categories: I would like to be able to tag/categorise my FF posts so that I (and others) can filter my postings down to those on a particular topic. Is there a way of doing this? If not, do we know whether FF have this on their road map. And if not, is there another service similar to FF that does provide this capability
Kol Tregaskes liked this
Feature request: would like a 'refresh ALL' button for the services imported in FriendFeed. It happens more than once that one or more service doesn't update (I've been refreshing Netvibes manually since August) and centralising the update would save a lot of time.

Can someone tell me is there a limit to how many characters you can type here in the box when you update??
Pavan, sofarsoShawn and Christopher Harley liked this
260 I believe sorry for the moron comment, ummm, however if you type over, it will just show a "more" which you click on to see the rest example here: ---> http://friendfeed.com/mikerob... his feed the dubai post
- sofarsoShawn
oh ok thank you very much...this seems alot better then twitter, how long has it been around?
- bbheaven
Shawn - There is a hard limit when typing the initial message (not 100% certain what it is, though). The "more" link only applies to comments.
- Curtiss Grymala
oh wow that is cool!!! and you don't refresh any comments just come up?? Thats really saawweeet!!
- bbheaven
oh yes sorry I misread, yup there is a hard limit for a post, been around four 4ish years i believe. & no refresh real time baby
- sofarsoShawn
I am very impressed LOVING IT!!!
- bbheaven
ur kidding me 4 years!!! where have I been?? and why are there no other like Big Brother spots here?
- bbheaven
or am I just not finding them??
- bbheaven
LOL check out this search of rooms http://friendfeed.com/groups... it may help you find similar stuff [or groups as they're now called]
- sofarsoShawn
Thank you!! I am a little lost here but hoping to get the hang of it...:)
- bbheaven
You can also make your own Big Brother group, very simple, check out the FAQs
- sofarsoShawn
I think I did make one but just not sure on how to get my fanbase of BB over here.
- bbheaven
So how many members are on this friend feed? I just can't get over that I have never heard of it!!
- bbheaven
Yeah it's supposedly dead, according to Scoble the madman, ahhh, to attract peeps list the room address on your site/tweet it as per the room, you can import video clips, pictures, audio, articels, etc etc it's hot shit
- sofarsoShawn
How can this be dead!! This is da shit!! In my opinion much BETTER then twitter!
- bbheaven
There's differing opinions this dude Robert Scoble --> http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... will give you the down lo on that, not to be mistaken with Alex the wise, his brother. All joking truly I love both Scobles
- sofarsoShawn
Two slowdown issues with FriendFeed: 1. The search dropdown takes an age. 2. Bringing up the list of your subscriptions via Add/Remove link on your lists is even slower.
Suggest showing the "selected" subscriptions by default for number 2?
- Kol Tregaskes
I don't mean to be discriminating, but is there a way to only show Friendfeed only in a certain language? More and more people are adding items & comments in rooms in their own language, which frankly doesn't add any value to my life.

I read in another thread that the FF team confirmed they have lost the firehouse from Twitter. They are trying to fix it (and not sure if that accounts for the looooong delays) but I don't think it's just a FF issue

*shrug* I can live with it
- Mo Kargas
hope it gets fixed, might try using identica more otherwise
- Mike Chelen
Say for example I like to get email when somebody posts comments in this thread => http://friendfeed.com/mmastra...? Is it possible or am I overlooking something?
The only way is to receive notifications via email for any post you comment on (if you commented on it) or liked (if you just liked it). There is no way to just subscribe to one post.
- Shevonne
@Shevonne Thanks for the info. I liked that comment(which I like to receive e-mail notifications), now am I getting emails automagically?? Hehe I enabled getting notifications for my discussions, but then I always get email for post I like. I can't for just a single post if i understand you right?
- alfred westerveld
No, it's something that people have been asking to get for a very long time (me included)
- Shevonne
Okay. Know also me because this way I can get email explosions if I get email for every post I like. But I might know a solution (hack). Have to think about it a little bit. Keep you informed ;). Thanks for the info.
- alfred westerveld
Hehe thought I could fake it using search, But I see you can't get search to inbox :). Just have to hope friendfeed might implement it

Did the 'service:' parameter change recently? I used to get an RSS feed of my bookmarklet postings by searching for 'service:internal' but that stopped returning new results after 10/31.
Mike Chelen and Kol Tregaskes liked this
It looks like service:internal is only returning posts that I submit from here but not bookmarklet posts. I tried service:bookmarklet and service:bookmark but those don't seem to do anything.

if you were to redirect your DOMAIN to your twitter or friendfeed account which one would you go for? (1. domain is single 2.hosting not required, use google sites)
Mike Chelen liked this
yeah i am experimenting about the response by posting it to multiple groups//.but it is also true that i was buying a domain just for using it for my twitter account, but now it seems if that goes though i would have to buy one for friendfeed too

Weird. My Twitter import wasn't working and I just had to manually refresh it which then imported a bunch of tweets from yesterday. Anyone else having issues like this?

Well it had been over 12 hours before an item came in which forced me to do the manual refresh.

My Twitter is all but unreliable at this point, but that could be because I'm used to them showing up instantly and anything less is unacceptable.

I notice same issue, on and off (update: just imported manually, 8 hours delay)

Is there any way to know, other than by the number of likes & comments, how many people actually read your content (and don't have it hidden away in some never-read list)?
Alex Scrivener, John (a.k.a. dendroica) and Kol Tregaskes liked this
Count of eyeballs that your post has passed through. I think they could put a "mark as read" thingie which could then count how many people marked as read.
- TrafficBug
kind of interesting how Twitter gave the ability to make lists public. More of a marketing gimmick, but at least it's something.
- Vincent van Wylick
I think this would be a wanted feature in twitter too. With people following hundreds of people, their attention span is limited to the first few tweets that they seem to eyeball, so it would be good to know just how many eyes' visibility span your message has passed through.
- TrafficBug
hey you guys remember Scobleizer complaining about the 140 char limit of twitter and adding that he can write an equivalent of a blog post here on friendfeed (yeah Scoble would be the first guy to be in it if you have something called Hall o Fame)

You can globally filter it out of every view by keyword with: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... :)

For example, I don't really give an f about #unseenprequels, so I'd rather not have them all over my feed. So it'd be awesome if I could just auto-hide anything with that

Yeah, that's pretty cool Micah, but it'd be better if it was built in natively.

Well, I wouldn't mind a wheelbarrow of rubies, sapphires and gold coins too ;)

That'd be nice too. In the meantime, your script's gonna have to do. Thanks a ton man.

My wishlist of possible additional FF features, folders for likes and comments, lists within friends, Calendars of my discussions, likes, and lists, a quicklist like YouTube for following current posts and saving to folders, adjustable number of comments per post, thread markup tools. Just came to mind. Relevance?

Is it possible to get support for the img.ly twitter image hosting service?
could we get at least the option that when we read something and reading the comments, the post won't go to the other page.. the pause button is to far to the tap if ur down..

Yes as the display keeps scrolling down, the pause button is not the first place to reach esp, when you are in the middle of a page.

It would be better to use these two quote symbols:❝ ❞ automatically in bookmarklet text quoted to comments instead of standard quotes characters as often the quoted text itself has quotes making the comment messy looking and hard to parse.
