You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

Thanks Bret! :)
- Matt Ruiz
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
Great! Thanks! Love FF!
- Scott Monaco
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.

- Casey Muller
Lovely. Thanks guys.
- Mitchell Tsai
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
WOW. that's really helpful！
- K.D.
Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro.
- Louis Gray
Cool!
- Josh Haley
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!
- Bret Taylor
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"?

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
Nice addition!
- Michael Fidler
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)
- Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!

awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :)
- Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..

That's a cool feature

If you have an iOS device app, there's an option to have it read aloud any article in the electronic edition of the magazine (almost literally everything)

I used to listen to this as a podcast in Google Listen but somehow Economist broke that integration by changing formats (I guess people were filesharing the raw mp3s), but yes, love listening to Podcasts like the Moth Radio Hour.
- Joel Kotarski
Yes, that's a definite extra value for iOS with the subscription - hoping they do Android one day. This read aloud, is this a computerized voice or the actual professionally recorded audio edition (which is excellent)?
- Joel Kotarski
They have 3 different professional (real) readers. Same as online. I didn't check recently, there may be an Android version now... (they intended to)

Nice - good they use the same audio from audio edition. Bah, you got my hopes up - Android app still pending.

Shawn, I never said the data was wrong, those are pretty close to the accurate figures, just by eyeballing it. It's just a misrepresentation, via graphical presentation.
- Gimminy
They way you present your evidence makes all the difference, when it comes to deciding what you know. The figures are correct, but the graph is misleading.
- sofarsoShawn
Percentages are a reasonable method to use, no? The GDP and population grew significantly over this time scale; using absolute dollars would be at least as misleading.
- Andrew C (✓)
Andrew, percentages based on absolute dollars, are way worse, than just absolute dollars. I would adjust for inflation, and show the amount, not percentage. Doesn't mean I wouldn't use a bar graph, as representation.

absolute dollars are adjusted for inflation!

But yeah, percentage of GDP would be far preferable to percentage based on absolute dollars. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... )
- Andrew C (✓)
Percentage of GDP is a good metric for determining the runway, but I don't see it as a good metric of, an increase in the debt, comparison, since it's a variable asset not directly related to the sitting president. It's definitely better, but I think a flat number inflation adjusted is better. Percentage increase is just bad in comparing between successive periods, because as the...

Not taking action might be a choice - to call it an action is just confusing the issue. But confusing the issue is something you seem to specialize in.

Right now, Brian, as I sit on my love seat, I am driving my car at zero mph. To not move is still a subset of movement, just as zero is a subset of integers. Unless you think that zero mph is not a speed, in which case I'd have to ask who your Caesar is.

"On the contrary, I should say that for libertarians, liberty is the lowest of social values, lowest in the sense of being most fundamental, a sine qua non of a human action's being susceptible to moral evaluation in any way at all. Human freedom can be used for all sorts of actions, directed to all sorts of purposes, which are then susceptible to moral evaluation, but unless human...

Leaving Arizona: Tucson Group Pushes Secession - Truthdig - http://www.truthdig.com/eartoth...
Christopher Galtenberg, Russian Space Lizard, Heather and 2 other people liked this
"Organizers in Tucson and surrounding Pima County have launched a petition drive that would put their plan to secede from Arizona on the ballot in 2012, a movement born out of liberal disgust with the conservatism of Phoenix and other northern neighbors. The plan is undoubtedly a long shot, and the creation of a “Baja Arizona” would be the first successful split since West Virginia branched off during the Civil War. But at the very least, the “Start Our State” movement sends a signal to the country that not all Arizonans support measures like the immigrant-targeting SB 1070 or the escapades of Maricopa Country Sheriff Joe Arpaio. —KDG"

I think people are freaked out because they didn't authorize the storage of location data (the way you have to authorize any app that wants to know your location), plus it may be different people than the ones who use location-based services. And not only is it not opt-in, there's no opt-out.

Filters that reduce ‘brain clutter’ identified - http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...
Maitani, Jenny H, Christopher Galtenberg and 2 other people liked this
"Until now, it has been assumed that people with conditions like ADHD, Tourette syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia -- all of whom characteristically report symptoms of "brain clutter" -- may suffer from anomalies in the brain's prefrontal cortex. Damage to this brain region is often associated with failure to focus on relevant things, loss of inhibitions, impulsivity and various kinds of inappropriate behaviour. So far, exactly what makes the prefrontal cortex so essential to these aspects of behaviour has remained elusive, hampering attempts to develop tools for diagnosing and treating these patients. But new research by Julio Martinez-Trujillo, a professor in McGill University's Department of Physiology and Canada Research Chair in Visual Neuroscience, has brought new hope to these patients. He believes the key to the "brain clutter" and impulsivity shown by individuals with dysfunctional prefrontal cortices lies in a malfunction of a specific type of brain...
