Whyfore does the share@friendfeed share from phone/email not work anymore? There was a 3 day delay on the last things i tried to send
Weird. It worked perfectly for me on Friday when I sent a pic from my iPhone. - Curtiss Grymala
I tried sending something friday night and it took 3 days :( - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet

FriendFeed will now update your Facebook status when you update your FriendFeed status (or statuses pulled into FriendFeed from other networks like Twitter)! - http://www.facebook.com/apps...

There seem to be no official news so I've posted this as I've just found it on Facebook. Is this a good or bad thing? If I didn't want this but still wanted FB to import my FF posts what would I do? Basically I'm after a filter of what is imported from FriendFeed to FB. I'd like to filter out @replies and certain services. I don't want GReader posts being imported from FF to FB, can I filter these without affecting FF or GReader? - Kol Tregaskes
Quote from the comments: "The reason for this change is the old Facebook API methods the application used are being deprecated very soon: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index... If you don't want FriendFeed updating your status please uninstall the application or revoke permissions at: http://www.facebook.com/editapp..." - Kol Tregaskes
i've been doing this from my FF settings for a awhile. - Thom Kennon
It's done this for a while. Back 6 months ago or so, the FF app for facebook was really buggy and didn't work for me anymore. Wonder if they ever fixed it. - Bill Kinney
No, it's been importing the status updates but they've not been turned into FB status updates. That is the difference. Bill, works fine see here: http://www.facebook.com/koltreg... - Kol Tregaskes
similar to how Twitter has worked then? that's cool. i turned that off recently, as my family kept complaining that i was too noisy. i could only imagine if I sent FF there. - Bill Kinney
Actually it appears to be a half-worked job. The imported status updates from Twitter via FF in FB still have the FF icon and it seems that is putting people off. The imports need to be turned into proper native FB updates. These imported updates could also be in people's filters. - Kol Tregaskes
Do. Not. Want.... I stopped Twitter updating my FB status because my FB friends complained I was making their streams too noisy. I want to cross-post my FF stream into my FB stream, but now there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent FF from making a status updates without disabling the whole app... - Andrew Terry
yeah, i gave up on that app a while back. native facebook can pull some things like Youtube likes, flickr, etc. It's slow to update but it works. - Bill Kinney
What the heck is a FriendFeed status? - Michael R. Bernstein
Starting a thread, no more, no less. - Richard A.
I'd rather continue to syndicate into FB from here using the feed. I like the idea that each one is a little advertising link for my FB peeps to click and find out about Friendfeed, - Thom Kennon
Michael, anything that is a status update, such as Twitter and Gtalk. if you post a tweet and it comes into FF it will then go into FB as a 'FB status update' but it's not a native FB entry and still had the FF icon which is annoying. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Kol: the FriendFeed icon is there because the story (or status update) was created via the FriendFeed application. There is no way for us or you to remove that icon. It is for all intents and purposes a "native" FB entry - Benjamin Golub
I love that the friendFeed team is still working on updates. Any chance you can make it on a "per-update" basis though? For instance, I don't like Twitter going to Facebook, but I may not mind others. Or, at a minimum, I'd love to check a box on my Friendfeed status and have it go to Facebook instead of Twitter. - Jesse Stay
I've noticed one slight difference between application posts and native (link) posts.. The "view in applicationx" replaces the share button, which makes sharing an application posted link a multi-step process!! - Chris Myles

DM issues: For the past 3 months, I've not been receiving all my DMs. I see them in my email, but they're not showing up on the site. If I try to reply via email, they get bounced back. I know that happens when someone deletes it, but I know not all of these are being deleted.
Replying by email has not been working for me either for at least the last month - RAPatton from iPhone

I'd like an end to phantom or undetectable bumps.
1) when a post is liked, then quickly un-liked, I think the bump from the like should also be taken off - that is, I guess, it would go back to the last bumped timestamp. - Andrew C
2) similarly for comments that are deleted for a bump without a trace. - Andrew C
3) and if the bump has come from someone I've blocked or who has blocked me, I can't see why the thing's been bumped up to the top so ... it'd be sweet if the thing didn't get bumped in my view. - Andrew C
bump - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
See, I don't mind if the bumping comment isn't deleted. - Andrew C
Wait 'til I delete it... - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
But at that point, it'd just be a hole in the conversation, and my later reply would still be the last bump. - Andrew C
2a) or, if deleted comments left a trace behind, a "[deleted comment]", say, that would also be fine. - Andrew C

I now notice that it is really useful to get alerts for "posts I commented on" - but it would be really nice if there's a way to unsubscribe to certain posts that are simply "too active" and that I no longer have any desire to follow... e.g. http://friendfeed.com/akiva... ... :) #friendfeed #feedback
Agreed: Two active looks like SPAM and I unhook as quick as I can. Accurate observation there - ThatDBD
Nice addition to friendfeed wishlist! I too think we need to have the option of unsubbing from certain threads that are 'too active'. In other words, a checkbox that allows 'subscription' by thread would be nice. - TrafficBug
I wouldn't mind not seeing that post again myself. - Akiva Moskovitz
Related: I had this problem with a year ago with Flickr also - if I commented on any active photos, I will get so much noise on my Recent Activity feed that it becomes impossible to manage. Great that Flickr finally implemented the 'hide this from my feed' feature. Would be great if Friendfeed can follow suit. Alternatively, do the reverse and allow 'sub to this thread' - either way it would be a good feature to implement. - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

FriendFeed search is unavailable -- fixin' something or just busted?
probably maintenance... search has been acting up lately... hopefully fixin' for good this time - Chris Heath
still down? - Mike Chelen
Seems up now - Chris Heath
Egon Willighagen
Who should I ping for support for feeds for the main Source Repository websites such as SourceForge, GitHub, Gitorious? I can add a general RSS feed for them, but rather see a new category of dedicated feed types. That way, people can simply enter their account name, and have FriendFeed take care of the details (like with the other dedicated feeds)

Fwd: I'm posting something from GTalk i wanted to post onto my feed and another group in the same time like " @weloveapps @me something" it's only posting on the 1st item, can we change this later? (via http://friendfeed.com/friendf...)

Like RAPatton, I've lost those abilities on my iphone, but also on my desktop (running Firefox 3.5.5) - I also apparently can't comment on anything or I'd have responded to his thread. :)

I almost always get an Oops, error when I'm editing a comment, is this a general problem, which shows it duplicated which leads me to delete it. What causes them so I can avoid them? FWD'ED (http://friendfeed.com/bigstar...) I've started a block list on Facebook. I probably should had done this a while back, and the people I put on it have probably forgotten...

As far as I can tell, the error comes when you're editing a comment to a post while someone else is also posting a comment. I ignore any doubling. I just reload the page and it goes back to normal. - Spidra Webster
Jannifer @wordsforliving
I can't add a comment or anything!
because of this -> # , delete your history plz. - Parfe
yep, the ajax aspect seems broken - RAPatton from BuddyFeed
Ok, I cleared my history... now I can add comments - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Sorry about the downtime, the bug should be fixed in a couple of minutes.
And, we're back. - Tudor Bosman
I see what you did there. - Itachi
Jannifer @wordsforliving
Is it me or is something wonky with FriendFeed today? {*cough* - I blame Facebook j/k}.
It's fixed. You saw nothing. Hail Friendfeed. This is a message from the Ministry of Truth. - Itachi

So, anyone know what's going on with this?

I've tried the bookmarklet on two different machines. Same result. - Steven Perez
Yep, same's happening for me - Glenn Slaven
Is there something screwy w/Javascript on the FF site? Cause I get this same issue plus I can no longer do anything on FF (like, comment, etc) if I'm on Firefox or Chrome. Works fine on IE7 still though. =p - ronin
Hm, now seems to be working again. - ronin
Works now. - Steven Perez

http://friendfeed.com/static... -- this file is probably broken. Please, friendfeed team, look into it.
Fixed, fix being pushed right now, we should be fully up within 2 minutes. - Tudor Bosman

Ah seems back to normal now
Brian Sullivan
Can't comment, like, share, edit posts. Posts don't allow sending to multiple groups -- FF seems borked.
RAPatton
on my iPhone, I've last the ability to post, like or expand through the browser this afternoon (all Ajax ops); I am able to post via buddy feed and other browsers. rebooted the iphone, so I don't think it is the issue.

I noticed that the FriendFeed bookmarklet does not work on Adobe's site. e.g. go to http://labs.adobe.com/technol... and click bookmarklet, it just stays blank forever. Any reason for this?

Does email here on FriendFeed still work? I sent an email via share@ yesterday and still don't see it here...

I'd really like stats about ff.im shortlinks (like bit.ly) as I pass my links often through FF to Twitter
I use ff to shorten links and comments to fit into twitter. just like you and to send duplicate message to FB. but Not sure if that application working right now. - Henning Bjerre
Hi! - Duc Tao Bui
Chicisimo
Hi Everybody! How can I automatically make the pictures on my posts, visible on Friendfeed? Instead of just showing the title and link, I want FF to grab and show the thumbnail, similar to how Facebook does it. Any ideas?
Thanks! - Chicisimo
If you use MediaRSS it will auto-import the images attached - Jesse Stay
Thanks Jesse, I need some more help with that. All I can find is the wikipedia entry with some services that I tried some days ago... any specific service you'd use? Thanks again! - Chicisimo
Chicisimo are you using Wordpress? What blogging platform are you using? I assume this is for a blog. - Jesse Stay
MediaRSS plugin for wordpress. Feedbuster for anything else http://code.google.com/p... - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Jesse, yes I'm using wordpress - Chicisimo
In that case #1 of what Rasheen said :-) - Jesse Stay
Thanks Jesse and Rasheen:) I'm going to try that! - Jesse, I thought you were based in California, but I see you live in TX... in any case, isn't it a bit late for you:)? - Chicisimo
Chicisimo I grew up in TX, but I live in Utah right now - one hour earlier, but still late. This is normal for me though :-) - Jesse Stay

Hi everyone! I'm trying to delete a twitter status update at someone's request & removed it from Twitter but still shows in FFeed (which in turn shows on FBook etc..). I have no "drop down" edit button to do this anywhere. Help! It's a serious situation...how do I remove it? Anyone ? Muchos Gracias!

Hello Friendfeed. Recently the atom feed I'm getting from you guys is no longer valid. As a result, my website / Google gadget cannot parse or display this. I've tried removing what appear to be invalid entries but as soon as I do the invalid entry is the next one in the list :-/ Please could you take a quick look?...
This document http://api.friendfeed.com/2008... is 404ing. I think this may be related! - Bonstio

I'd like to add my linkedin profile to my FF profile' services, but a message occurs: "We were not able to get your current position from that page. Make sure to select 'Full Profile' and check 'Current Positions' on your LinkedIn Public Profile page." What's this? My LI profile data is right... I have 3 current positions, is there the problem ?
Can anyone from the FF team help Gino? - Kol Tregaskes
i had also gotten this problem too - Harun Sarac
I had too :/ - Berhan(Toraman İnsan)
me too.. any one knows how to resolve? - Tim Thompson
FF crew mailed like that, this is a problem about FF engine.. Sorry!. ups. - Berhan(Toraman İnsan)
#LinkedIn is a very tricky service to aggregate, as a social media journalist who also works for a social media researching firm, I can tell you that Linked-In we have the most negative results with across the board. I'm afraid I cannot give an exact fix but I want to ask; do you have the free service or are you are you a paying business member (or business plus) all will function differently. - H0llywoodWh0re
@h0llywoodwh0re free service... - Gino Tocchetti
I have the same issue. I wonder if it is due to my multiple current positions, because I am a freelancer with three current contracts right now. - Michael G. Hurston
