Pipes: FriendFeed API v2 (proof of concept) - http://pipes.yahoo.com/loucyph...
Pipes: FriendFeed API v2 (proof of concept)
Pipes: FriendFeed API v2 (proof of concept)
Thanks a lot. - Ahmet Alp Balkan
LouCypher, I filled in each type of field (except audio) and clicked Run Pipe, but nothing appears to have happened. - Micah Wittman
Micah, it worked for me. I posted this entry using this pipe itself. - LouCypher
Lou, you declare explicitly »This Pipe may require all fields to have values before it will run successfully. Please provide values into any empty field above and press "Run Pipe."« but then your [=this] posting has nowhere near the number of apparently required elements. If the values/args can be [nil] or »""«, or maybe »" "«, please indicate that. Above all, I'd like to read a usage scenario in which this could be of, hmmm…, use [over and above mere proof of concept]. - ianf ⌘
Yay. Generated http://friendfeed.com/thedod... like a charm, audio and all. Well done - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod
How much time did it save over posting that in the old, "missionary" fashion? - ianf ⌘
@ianf, only fields with * are required, you can leave the other fields empty. - LouCypher
so, you're essentially using a pipe to post to friendfeed? - chrisofspades
@Chris, I do sometimes, using v1 API http://pipes.yahoo.com/loucyph... - LouCypher
@Micah and @Genie, did you enter the correct remote key? http://friendfeed.com/remotek... - LouCypher
Lou, I just re-tried in Chrome and it worked! (I used the remotekey each time). My first attempts wre in Firefox - my guess is there's was a conflict with Firebug (or maybe NoScript, but I allowed all domains *shrug*). - Micah Wittman
I see. I don't have Firebug on my Firefox, that's why. - LouCypher
Firebug in the latest version of Firefox has been temperamental. Frequent browser restarts while dubugging JS helps. - Micah Wittman
Anyway, nice job on the pipe, LouCypher. Just released, and there's already exciting things popping up using the new API v2 :) - Micah Wittman
I used this image URL http://friendfeed-media.com/1dbdccc... (no extension) and it worked for me. What's your image URL? - LouCypher
I may be misreading things in a wider [than Pipes] context, but I thought the new FF API v2, as per recent Firehose announcement (which presumably relies on it) no longer required RemoteKey use? "[FF Firehose] is controlled by simple OAuth. This also means users of FriendFeed-based applications will no longer need to get their special key to manually enter as was previously required" <http://staynalive.com/article...> - right, this isn't an FF-app… - ianf ⌘
Unfortunately, that's the problem with Yahoo Pipes, you can't use OAuth with it. - LouCypher
This looks cool, but with FriendFeed's 3 mp3 files a day limit - you could only use it once a day to upload audio files. - Chris Loft
That's for upload only, the API is using/hotlinking mp3 URL from other server. You can post as much as you want. http://friendfeed.com/zoolcar... - LouCypher
Is there any way to add video attachment support? Thanks - Mike Chelen
@LouCypher Thanks for the group invite! :D - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
Excellent! This is really useful. Thank you. - Len Lynch
whoa. Flashback! - Micah Wittman
Mike Chelen
so this to post multiple pictures and audios at the same time? Explanation would've been helpful. :) - ugurarcan
ugurarcan: hehe yes that is one of its features, thought it was clear from the form image - anyway there are more details and q&a in the via link http://ff.im/5wjhJ. regular ff posts can include multiple images and audio files, only if they are uploaded, or imported from a feed - whereas with this pipe, they can be manually entered :) - Mike Chelen
ahhh gotcha. thanks. i saw the link which is where i got the idea but busy around here, didnt have time to read in details. - ugurarcan
it works pretty nicely, only issues had so far were that errors don't include much info for troubleshooting - Mike Chelen
Looks good, thanks for making giving this some visibility! I will be using this. - Len Lynch

@Denys, I fixed the slash problem. Sending option will be included in the v2, not now. I want to ask you that, what were the inputs when you tried to send the image and got the exception? - Kaan Şengül
@Kaan, I add & quote; (w/o spaces) to post's body. - Denys Davydov
Very nice! worked better than I expected. very fast, no errors :) - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)
@Bicentennial (Franc L), thanks.. If I have time, I'll improve its ability.. - Kaan Şengül
@Kaan funny, just had 1st issue with ffsendimage: this fatal error http://pastebin.ca/1589376 then, after reloading: http://pastebin.ca/1589377 but all the shares went to my feed, I noticed that later. here's my post: http://friendfeed.com/ocurro... - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

Cristi's wonderful work :) http://friendfeed.com/cristi - Michael W. May
cool, it is greatly appreciated! any idea where there is a post about it? - Mike Chelen
I don't know that he's ever posted about it directly in one unified post. He's commented here and there on it along with others giving him props ( http://friendfeed.com/search... and http://friendfeed.com/search... ) - Michael W. May
Holly Rae, FFer
Can anyone help me post an animated .gif - when I upload it doesn't not play.
just upload it to soup.io or meme.yahoo.com and add you user to your setting - shâhin
Oh. Well, I gotcha. Thanks will try. :) - Holly Rae, FFer
not@all :) - shâhin
Wait a second... I have Y. Meme action but no RSS feed from it and no way to hook Y. Meme into FF. - Holly Rae, FFer
DOH. Sorry found Meme RSS active when I actually view my profile. I've become very spoiled here in FF. - Holly Rae, FFer
add a custom rss like this one http://meme.yahoo.com/apolun/ - shâhin
So as you may see I am finally successful. Thank you. - Holly Rae, FFer
greeting :D - shâhin

My new FriendFeed app: "FFSPY": Find out who stops following you on FriendFeed! (help spreading please, reshare, like...)
FFSPY allows you to find out who unsubscribed from you by sending you hourly, daily or weekly reports via e-mail. Try it now: http://ffspy.com - Alp from Bookmarklet
kan cikmaz, aklini basina alir insanlar. Postlari insanlarin hosuna gimtiyorsa ogrenmek hakki. guzel bir tool - denizoktar
"Post to FriendFeed on your behalf" Why? What for? - Nikos Anagnostou
@Nikos it is not a message created by us. It is a generic message from FriendFeed. We don't post anything. - Alp
Next up: FFHitman: "Make people think twice before unfollowing you on FriendFeed again." - Meryn Stol
ohlala süpermiş bu - Hakan İyice
Meryn, haha that was great :-} - Alp
@Meryn, haha that was great. - Alp
comments? - Alp
i'll be sure to comment when report arrives. - bora "head" basman
one way to read the alerts in friendfeed is by using a group with a secret email address added - Mike Chelen
Am I actually supposed to care if people unsubscribe? Apparently I'm too self absorbed. Never occurred to me to try and find out. - Eoghann Irving
106 of my friends unsubscribed from me today, supposedly. - Franz Sittampalam
@Franz, there is a bug and I'm trying to solve it. Could you check that ffspy is listed here: http://friendfeed.com/setting... and inform me after that, please? - Alp
@Alp, it's not listed there but the website recognizes me and is setup to email me. What should I do? - Franz Sittampalam
@Frans, sorry I pasted wrong URL, could you check out existance of ffspy at here: http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Alp
@Alp, yes it's listed there - Franz Sittampalam from IM
@Dave, if you have doubts, you can revoke ffspy at http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Alp
@Franz, thanks for your help, I'm still investigating on the issue, this is a very rare situation but happened on a few users among hundreds. Such an interesting bug. I'll inform you when I figure out. - Alp
Alp, thanks a lot - no biggy, I just thought I was very unpopular this morning :p - Franz Sittampalam from IM
Oh, don't worry about it :) - Alp
If I were to use that, it would be redundant. - PJ Edwards
Thanks for your opinions. I hope it may be useful for someone else. - Alp
Alp, dude. You are awesome. You should work for FriendFeed. - AJ Batac
Wait. You are only 19 years old? Whoa. - AJ Batac
Ehm you can see all my apps here http://www.ahmetalpbalkan.com/ - Alp
tanx - مصطفام
Next, you need to develop an app that lets you unfollow someone *without* setting off an FFSpy alert. (More seriously: I *like* the fact that FF doesn't notify someone if I unfollow them.) - Kevin Shaum
Kevin, maybe we follow some people for trends, news and good stuff. Sometimes it does not matter whether they do follow us, or they don't. - Alp
The logo might a bit dramatic............you know with the blood and all lol - Franz Sittampalam
all this time you are working on a new app? - testbeta

@peykan @sargardani, what are you talking about? - Ahmet Alp Balkan
Why would you care? Just asking... - Fossil Huntress
it only matters to ppl with a trophy mentality. vindictive ppl, at that. very MySpace. :P - Joe Silence is not dead
why does it have to be vindictive? maybe the point is to notice if you make mistakes or do something that upsets people without realizing =D - Mike Chelen
I don't get it. Why would anybody care who is following them? - Otto
@Fossil @Otto, nevermind, someone cares, so more than 800 people using it. - Ahmet Alp Balkan
@Ahmet: Thank you for not answering my question... I was asking, why would people care, not how many people use the service... - Otto
Otto, you know some people have obsessions. They really care about who follows them. That's just obvious for some nations, they do care this trivial thing. - Ahmet Alp Balkan
application is good thats all that matters and alp has been working on a great lot of apps for friendfeed, i am looking forward to some great unique service of its own from him, i don't care who follows me but @otto it does give some happy moments when you are followed by someone of high integrity and expertise, helps one have a smile on one's face :) thanks for the app though, i too tried it but i don't really care if someone leaves ;) - testbeta
is that a ... good picture for software? ? ... just saying ... don't get me wronk / - Petr Buben

friendfeedPoll user script - released - Report statistics on a friendfeed thread used as a poll / survey - http://userscripts.org/scripts...
survey-says.jpg
kol-poll.jpg
Report statistics on a friendfeed thread used as a poll/survey. To customize possible answers (between 2 and 5 answers supported), in Configuration set answer1Array and answer2Array (and arrays 3 to 5 optionally). Each array can contain a single version of the answer word/phrase or multiple such as var answer1Array = ["Yes","Affirmative", "Absolutely"]; When viewing an individual post, the link Calculate Poll appears in the upper right corner of the page - click it to run or re-run a poll report. - Micah Wittman
The default configuration is: answer1Array = ['Yes','Yep','Yup']; and var answer2Array = ['No','Nope']; - Micah Wittman
That is BRILLIANT man! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Thanks, Haggis. - Micah Wittman
I was wracking my brain trying to figure what question would elicit the uniform responses of 'toothpaste', 'lemon' and 'orange'. Thanks for the link Micah! - Kevin Fox
Kevin, new theme names? *hint hint* :D - Micah Wittman from iPhone
Awesome. Glad my laziness may have spurred this. I just tested it and it worked great. Just a bit pesky having to set so many variables in the array for a poll like the one I created. - Mark Krynsky
Mark, you're absolutely spot on about the pesky nature of setting variables in the script itself. Creating a user interface for saving settings for user scripts like this is a pain (for one thing, can't use Greasemonkey data storage functions if I want straightforward compatibility with Safari/Greasekit). But the nature of this script may make it a bit easier than some because it's run... more... - Micah Wittman
Mark, regarding "spurred on" - you were the final straw :) - Micah Wittman
This is a wonderful idea, although why not make it simpler like just a simple survey system like what Google Docs uses. -- Like this one provided for the Themes Question -- http://friendfeed-media.com/8e11391... - Matt Ruiz
Matt, yeah, actually I participated in that one. A poll application naturally is better at the business conducting a poll. But, on a conversational system like ff, poll-like questions benefit from programmatic tallying only if they grow to a significant size. In many cases, a formal poll might not get much participation, but a casual question native to ff does. - Micah Wittman
would it be possible to have the results update automatically when a new comment is posted? great script, thanks! - Mike Chelen
also, is there an example topic where this script is in use? - Mike Chelen
Mike, this is a great example post to run the Calculate Poll script on: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah Wittman
friendfeedPoll [v0.1.1] released - Added auto-refresh of poll calculation upon comments being added (or deleted). Thanks for the suggestion, Mike :) - Micah Wittman
Micah, very nice! it is so cool to see the total change live - Mike Chelen
also found the topic from the screenshot :) http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Mike Chelen

Does anyone have a Greader "Send to" feature enabled for ff? Or is there a good way to send something directly from Greader to a particular ff room etc... (including pic etc...)
Denys Davydov
Can anybody make GM-script for quick add ff-username in reply? In format @username. For now I should move username to reply field and change http://friendfeed.com to @. I think it's not very hard work, but very useful.
how about #username then it is hotlinked - Mike Chelen

Tebrikler güzel uygulama olmuş http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes... buradakinin uygulamaya geçirilmiş ve daha geniş hali galiba buna mp3 ekleme özelliği de ekleseniz çok daha iyi olur bence. - Damat Ferit
Gerçekten iyi oldu bu. Resim ekleme işi baya sıkıntılı oluyordu ff'de. Bazen defalarca denemek gerekiyordu bir resim eklemek için. Tebrikler. - Burak Budak
Yukarda Kol'un bahsettigi olay nedir? - Ahmet Gülşen
Kol, "FF'de bu zaten var, FF'i kullandığımdan beri fotoğraf dialog kutusuna adresi yapıştırıyorum" demiş. Denedim oldu, bilmiyordum ben de böyle bir özelliğin olduğunu. Tabi birer birer göndermek var, on tanesini birden göndermek var... Teşekkürler Kaan, güzel olmuş. - Tufan Tunç

Güzel çalışma olmuş. Tebrikler. - Ersin HAN
bunun ne işime yarayacağını halâ anlayabilmiş değilim, tek esprisi birden fazla resim mi? bir de niye upload yok, sadece adres veriyoruz, verdiğimiz adresin resim olup olmadığını kontrol ediyor mu? - Necmettin from IM
@neco uploadı zaten ff üzerinden yapabiliyosun. olay link ile işi halletmek - Orçun İlbeyli aka Nucro
upload'ı da buradan yapabilmeliyim, diğer durumda bu servis pek birşey ifade etmiyor. - Necmettin from IM
@Necmettin, resim olup olmadığını kontrol ediyor, upload'ı düşündüm ama maliyetli olduğu için ona dokunmadım. Sen yaparsın upload'lı olanını, biz kullanırız :).. - Kaan Şengül

I started posting to FriendFeed on September 12th, 2008 (353 days ago) - Burak Budak
@Ladybug Heather @Sahandram USE F5 Please. Everybody is trying to launch it and server is too busy. - Alp
Mine says 15 days ago, which is NOT true. Weird. - Niklas Pivic
MIne says 0 days. Which I know is far from the truth as well. - Ruud van Wijngaarden
Guys we're looking for first entry you've posted manually from FF, not imported from twitter, last.fm etc. It works for many people. ::interesting:: @Ruud it must be a bug, I'm checking out. - Alp
Mine says 2 days ago - definitely not true! - Martin Bryant from iPhone
failed for me, unfortunately.. - Gökşen
Right, but it just shows when you first post was, yeah? I joined several weeks before I ever made a first post. - Rochelle
@Rochelle, shows time of your first manual FriendFeed post. - Alp
@Jeff use F5. - Alp
Okay. I wish it would show (or someone would develop an app that shows) when I actually joined the service. This should be called "When Did You First Post to FriendFeed", then, since that's what it shows. It doesn't show when you joined FriendFeed. - Rochelle
Apparently I joined today... lol - Mike
It says I joined today. Which is completely wrong, even with your definition of the app's functionality. My first manual FF post was definitely not today. - Mattie Kenny
My first post to FF definitely wasn't 2 days ago. Ah well. - Martin Bryant from iPhone
@Rochelle thanks edited. - Alp
@Martin could you try it again please? - Alp
It says I joined today. Er, no, that's totally wrong. Not much good, I'm afraid. - Neville Hobson
it also says i joined today. therefor: useless. plus, i agree with @rochelle, the date you first joined is not the first day you first posted. - Ralph Reijs
Yes, I agree with you but friendfeed allows us to reach this data. I think it is still funny. Many people learned when they've first posted. http://friendfeed.com/whendid... - Alp
Alp - it's not working at all for me now. Overloaded? I'll try again tomorrow. - Martin Bryant
@Martin server is too busy now, you can check it out later. It includes Bookmarklet entries during the calculation now. - Alp
Errors on me: "Duplicate entry '255' for key 1" :-( - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, oh noes. Please wait. - Alp
I get Duplicate entry '255' for key 1 as well - €€€€€€€€
@Kol @Outsanity it must be fixed. F5 please. http://whendidyoujoinfriendfeed.com/logout... - Alp
Why is a FriendFeed sign-in required? - John E. Bredehoft
To get the data via the API and all that mess - €€€€€€€€
@John it also won't work for private feeds without sign-in process. - Ahmet Alp Balkan
Don't need that site to tell me. Friendfeed sent me the email verification mail on February 29th, 2008. - Irma Vermaat

April 15th 2008; 503 days ago. If I'd known my 500therversary was coming up, I would have celebrated! - Andrew Terry
It did a good job on my account. My first post was on July 2nd of this year, but it says that it was on July 8, 2008 which is actually the day I joined. Not bad! - MF
Can it be a coincidence that I joined friendfeed on the same day as MF; July 8th, 2008? I guess it is a small world after all! I wonder if we have anything else in common. - Michael Fidler
i was invited on october 2nd, 2007 ;) a lot has changed in the meanwhile. - Mario
Remember when Robert Scoble brought all those people he unfollowed over to FF? I joined that very day. August 7, to be exact. - Dennis Jernberg
oh, my first post: I started posting to FriendFeed on May 23rd, 2008 (465 days ago) - Mario
I just realized that there's something wrong with the date it gave me. I joined twitter on July 8th, 2008, but i joined friendfeed months before I ever joined twitter. I would really love to find out exactly when it was. Does anyone have the wording of the conformation email sent out around this time? I searched for it once but I couldn't find it using "friendfeed", or "thank you for joining", etc. - Michael Fidler
Micheal the only email form the service I have is "Friendfeed email address Verification" - Jimminy

Doesn't work for me, it's months out. Does it take into account entries posted with the bookmarklet? - Kol Tregaskes
First comment would be nice to + first joined proper. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Kol, it counts bookmarklet etc. internal entries. - Ahmet Alp Balkan

When's it coming to the UK? ;) - Nicholas James
Nicholas, I'm not sure about it. Most probably in a few weeks, it seems nobody wants to use this in the US, so maybe we will never launch for UK. Even Turkish people are using it a lot but American friends haven't liked it. We included launching for Iran in our plans. - Alp
Alp, many of the American people may not prefer to send sms because of additional fees. They have to pay additional fees for texting on top of mobile plans they bought. Most of the plans include unlimited-calling but they don't have texting options. Perhaps, that's why American people do not want to use FFSMS service. (40-50 Cent'in hesabını yapan çok.) As I remember, mobile operators in UK have unlimited texting packages. - Cem
I read that as FFS MS rather than FF SMS - I liked mine more ;-) - Graeme Spice
Thanks, Alp. - Micah Wittman
Oh, you're welcome :) - Alp
Thanks for the update Alp - Nicholas James
That's great! Now I'll just wait till they have it in the Netherlands as well - or move to the states, whichever comes first ;) - James Kuypers
@James I've no idea about how many of FriendFeed users are from Netherlands or other European countries. I think Russia and UK are the at the 1st and 2nd place about FriendFeed usage. Do you have any idea? - Alp
and Canada? - Zachary TG
It maybe launched soon. - Alp
great idea...i also hope it will launched in Italy very soon! :-D - bevero

friendfeedTranslate user script - Translates title and comments of a friendfeed entry (e.g. Farsi to English) - http://wittman.org/friendf...
communicator.jpg
In the Configuration section of the code, you can change the language From and language To settings. When viewing a single friendfeed entry, near the upper right corner by "Tools", the the link to perform the translation will appear (e.g. Translate Farsi to English). Tested/compatible with Firefox and Safari. - Micah Wittman
cool idea :) - Susan Beebe
The script utilizes the google translation api, of course. - Micah Wittman
Thanks, Susan. - Micah Wittman
friendfeedTranslate 's permanent home is here http://wittman.org/project... (where previous versions will be archived). - Micah Wittman
yay! I've been asking about this for a few weeks. I will use firefox for FF for a while so I can use all of your scripts. edit: I usually use chrome - metalerik
Well done Micah! Installing and taking it for a spin now. Thank you. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
@micah Just wanted to let you know that the permanent home site is giving the "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" message in Chrome 3.0.189.0 - metalerik
metalerik, thanks for letting me know. I removed the secure protocol in the above link - it got there by mistake. I only pay the piper for one signed SSL certificate, and it's on a different domain, so that's why you got the warning. - Micah Wittman
Thank you, Brian. Let me know how you fare with it. - Micah Wittman
Here's a recent post about people wanting a language filter where I wish for a translation button (did I mention yay!) http://friendfeed.com/friendf... I just went back there to link to this post. Hope that's cool. - metalerik
Thanks, Micah, Awesome of you to invest the time to enable this. I am personally appreciative and I have friends that will also be, I am quite sure. :) I hope to eventually share the messages I have received as a result of signalling others efforts. - Eric Logan
Eric, your words are very much appreciated, Eric. I hope this helps people understand each other, even if only just a tad more. - Micah Wittman
Micah sorry to be gushing but I think this is huge. I mean really huge. - metalerik
are you not seeing the translate link? - metalerik
Thanks, I got it, :) - Eric Logan
metalerik, re. linking to the post - absolutely ok (you probably saw I commented over there already too). Thanks for the feedback :) - Micah Wittman
ok cool. I was just messing around and tried to get the from to work with "auto" vs. "fa" or whatever. I wonder why it doesn't work. Do you know? - metalerik
I was planning to experiment with auto language detect in the next update to two. Let me look something for a second. - Micah Wittman
metalerik, just set var languageCodeFrom = ''; (empty string) - wow, that's all it takes to get auto-detect working, and the first post I tried just now with Farsi in it worked! http://friendfeed.com/infinit... - Micah Wittman
duuuuuuuuuude! pls hold. :) - metalerik
(that's your friend K.D.) - metalerik
Great, Micah! What's the translation service (e.g. Google Translate) under this? - Roberto from fftogo
I was using Highlight2Translate Script for this job! Thanks Michah! - Alp
Welcome, Alp. - Micah Wittman
UPDATE RELEASE [v0.1.2] - Added auto-language detection handling (in Configuration, you can set an explicit language with var languageCodeFrom; the default is set to auto-detect). Also added an autoTranslate option in Configuration. To automatically translate title/comments when a single entry page is loaded, set var autoTranslateEnabled = true; - Micah Wittman
well done!! - K.D.
No problem, K.D. This feels like the most important user script I've worked on. I hope everyone who needs it can find it :) - Micah Wittman
thank you again, I'll share this script to other groups, the auto-detection is unbelievable cool!! - K.D.
This is probably great, and this is going to sound like a stupid question. How do I make this work? View a single entry? How do you do that? - Gilbert Harding
You win once again Micah! Another great script. Thanks for all the time you pour into making things easier for everyone. :) - Simon Wicks
@Gilbert: To view a single entry click the text that says when the post was posted (e.g. "4 hours ago" or "5 seconds ago") - Mark H
Also... awesome script. Feels like the world just got a little bit smaller. - Mark H
Mark: Thank you, something else I have learnt today. - Gilbert Harding
My quick couple of screenshots using friendfeedTranslate under Safari 4.01 w/GreaseKit: http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... - Jason Huebel
Another screenshot of comments being translated: http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... - Jason Huebel
Micah - This IS the most important script I've seen in a long long time and the sole reason for me to reinstall Greasemonkey on Firefox. Mad props to you. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
It would be nice to have this built into FriendFeed. Any possibility of that happening? - Brian Sullivan
Brian, hold on, let me pickup the the red phone in the Commissioner's office ;) - Micah Wittman
FOR ALL AVAILABLE GOOGLE TRANSLATION API SUPPORTED LANGUAGES SEE CODES HERE: http://code.google.com/apis... - Then in the script's Configuration section, change var languageCodeTo = 'en' to whatever code matches the language you want a post translated TO. - Micah Wittman
This is great, Micah... I've been mystified why that last piece is always missing... the auto-translate from languages you don't understand. This really should be built into the low-levels of twitter, friendfeed, etc., so that static stuff is translated once and shared if poss., the dynamic stuff just cache invalidates any translations.... or something like that. - Richard ¿digame? Walker
This is one of my favourite auto-detect translated pages so far: http://friendfeed.com/lovepho... - man, even as rough as programmatic translations are today, it really helps open up inaccessible worlds :) - Micah Wittman
Another fun thing I learned in translation today: "what in English is called the bungee cords, but in Russian formerly known as espanderom"[translation] http://friendfeed.com/spb... - Micah Wittman
UPDATE RELEASE [v0.1.3] - No new features in this one. Minor code cleanup. Reference copy of Google language codes added to Configuration section. - Micah Wittman
There's a bookmarklet now too! See http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah Wittman
That looks like..Scotty, beam me up shit - Chris Harris
Micah: you might have a use for the JS script in one of my projects: http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums... My friend Krishean did the script for it (the same guy that did the dragable bookmarklet hack). I have another version from him that I haven't compiled yet, that self-updates the language list, so I won't have to release a new version if Google decides to add new languages. - April Russo (app103)
Thanks again, April. I'll check it out asap. - Micah Wittman
SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.1.5] - Added autoProtocolMatchingEnabled and onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures Configuration options. Now a secure protocol (https) for the current page is detected and all script references will be set to https in that case. Since userscripts.org does not support https, the onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures options controls whether to use that feature (which connects with http) or not. ~~~ As requested here: http://friendfeed.com/baiyssy... - Micah Wittman
SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.1.6] - Fix to v0.1.5 so that onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures only prevents feature use if a secure connection is present. - Micah Wittman
SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.2] "Real-time" http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Micah Wittman
Thank you Micah. Well done again - zsafwan 
Great work. But I found one issue that after the translation, some links are converted to plain text that no longer work. - Yinfei Zhang
That's a good point, Yinfei. I'll see what I can do for a future release. For now, if you go into single post view (click timestamp) you will see the original html which should always have the working links. Thank you for the feedback - I really appreciate it. - Micah Wittman
Install page now has "Alternate configuration (keepOriginalTextInRealtime ON)" for user script and bookmarklet language versions http://wittman.org/project... - Micah Wittman
SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.2.3] - Comments in single post view were not being translated. Fixed. http://wittman.org/project... - Micah Wittman

Hahaha lol :) you really like Resource Models, you have a generator?? :) - Ahmet Alp Balkan
Can you use it or develop something based on it without understanding its resource model? Yes, I much like it. Do you know my confusion of room/group/feed/friend/subscription of FriendFeed? Now I need to understand what's news/status/photos/links. Should be fun. - NaHi from f2p

Why do you use 2nd level domains for your apps? - Alex Kapranoff
@alex what's your suggestion? - Alp
I would probably use smth. like fftoolbox.com/ff<tool>. - Alex Kapranoff

@Alex, this domain is perfect for this tool... - Hüseyin Mert
Great!! - 4hmt

works like a charm. thanks ;) - İbrahim Uzun [ j ]
You DO use cookies for login sessions. (I mean that I see your site is using it). - Alex Kapranoff
Alex, I think it is our choice, eh? - Alp
The choice of domain name is of course yours that's why I asked about the reasons behind it :) I thought that it's an uncommon scheme. Single sign-on would still be handy. - Alex Kapranoff
I think someone will use it. ;) - Ahmet Alp Balkan

This service was awesome a month ago when I first found it. Thrilled that you've worked out the bugs and that it's live now! Congratulations! - Chris Aldrich
@Chris, yes we proceeded to FF-API v2 and solved some problems with sponsorship :) - Alp
One easy and useful feature to add, would be a character counter (or countdown) so that those who cross post to Twitter or who broadcast out via SMS can keep track of their post length for it's appearance on other services. Again, this is one of the most useful tools in all of social media! Thank you again. - Chris Aldrich
