On August 10th, 2009 Facebook did something that thousands of people now hate them (or hate them more) for. Facebook bought Friendfeed for $55 million. Thus assuring the end to the best social networking site to date.

I created this group on Facebook for everyone who is on Facebook and is either sad or disgusted by the news that came out today about Facebook taking over Friendfeed. I know that it won't matter and we can't stop it, but at least we can have a place on Facebook to maybe make a stance and complain away from Friendfeed.

Just to let everyone know I plan on also using this group to chronological keep track from this day forward with whatever happens regrading all this.

Where is the FF equivalent of this group?
- Kamilah Gill
they probably just crawl the database on a certain schedule. What is that schedule ffholic-ers?
- Laura Norvig
Are we talking about the user stats, and especially subscriber and subscription counts?
- Baris Seker
There are over 330k users to crawl and ff has API bandwidth restrictions, so we can't open up the flood gates all the way. We give precedence to higher ranked users, because their entries climb the charts much quicker. Currently, we're updating about 40k users in a day. On top of that, we're following 20k rooms, and the public feed.

“How many times a week do you check your stats on FFholic? Me personally, I do so usually once a day. I just like to see where it says I'm at activity wise.” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
I just logged on and hadn't visited in months. Lot of really neat folks are subscribed to me. More interested in who I am subscribed to. Not sure what activity points are though.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
activity points have to do with how often you like and comment. Very useful when you're looking at the "most popular" users, http://ffholic.com/Users... You can see that some of them, like Kevin Rose, are very inactive here - they just happen to have a lot of followers.
- Laura Norvig
Hmm, this thread was way back in October. I'm now the 960th most active user.

See Building43 later and see if you like how we embedded the friendfeed widget into wordpress. I also have done that over at http://scobleizer.com -- let me know if I can help.

Still trying to find my way around here. Just curious...does anyone reading this have MS? I do and would love to chat with others who may have this horrid disease.
How to give Admin rights? Hi fellows : I've got a question : I've created a (private) group to "chat" with friends. I'm the only administrator of that group, but I'd like some of those friends to be admin, as well. I'm pretty sure I've seen someday, somewhere that this action was possible... Could you show me the way back to this magic link? Thks!
I'd love to see more search options in FFHolic. Would like to be able to search for users by activity points. For example, search for users with 0 activity points. I find it interesting to see who is using Friendfeed just for listening (or who signed up and then abandoned the service).
Hi. Still waiting for an answer to this question. Not to be funny, but this is the most frustrating room I am in, because it is so hard to get any question answered.

I've noticed that too, Mo. Through the day the number does drop. I'm like wow... they count by the hour?

I am so confused by this Yo, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed.

Occasionally. I find the like compatibility checker (linked at the top of the page) to be more useful in finding new people to follow, though.

So how does that work, I put my username in and hit submit?

I also noticed that when I enabled the widget on my blog, I got unwanted borders around all my images which had the style class "thumbnail". Not sure why that happened. They went away when I removed the widget.
