You guys should be looking at the Facebook OpenStream API (you probably are, but thought I'd mention it anyway). You could let users pull their entire FB newsfeed into friendfeed, comment, like, and push that activity back to Facebook. Huge opportunity there.
Colossal Marketing™, Thierry R. Andriamirado, Kol Tregaskes and 3 other people liked this
We were able to do this for a day or day but they closed down their RSS feed app due to privacy issues.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yeah, their new API allows for this, so you don't need to use RSS feeds. A user would just grant friendfeed access to their stream. There are restrictions on exposing that content to other people or making it searchable.. so this may not fit in to FF's strategy.

Quick weekend project I whipped up, using facebook connect. Not quite viral, but I haven't had to promote it at all. Looking for ideas on how I could make it a bit more engaging. I think people like the whole recruiting friends aspect. Maybe there are other fun social actions / interactions that could drive people to click?

Is this a facebook application to be added to facebook account?

It's a facebook connect website (external fb app). You login via facebook, it grabs your fb name/pic to add you to the wall, and you can send invites to fb friends from givingbutton.com

Hi everyone, Fraser from AdaptiveBlue here - the group behind Glue. If you have any questions please let me know, I'm happy to answer anything and everything. If you want to read a great review about the product here's one from Wired's WebMonkey blog. They have an excellent line that saves me from having to describe what the service does: "Glue is the single most useful social networking tool I’ve encountered and using it is actually much simpler than describing what it does." http://bit.ly/GlueWired

An image bookmarking site I built using the laconi.ca microblogging software (edit: no longer built on laconi.ca, see my my most recent comment below). You can also have your favorites auto-posted to your friendfeed stream (uses the friendfeed api). Would love some feedback!
- grag
Cool Gabe...checking it out now...thanks! Just added a few pics, thanks!!
- Susan Beebe
Just signed up - will have a play & let you know. Like the idea & simplicity of it...also, i'm not really using a simple service for this kind of thing - not even flickr, so it's a nice little niche especially with the FF integration. Needs a bit of styling...but that can come in a bit. It's a great way to catch peoples eye though & show you mean business - a spanking logo, simple design & attention to detail.
- Zee.
how do i find other users? subscribe to them, etc...
- Susan Beebe
some great pics on there though have to say
- Zee.
Susan: If you click on a user's name there will be a subscribe link under their avatar.

Looks cool, Gabe, I just signed up. I'll give it the full shake down soon.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Well, I'm back from that rabbit hole. Simple, useful - priceless.
- Russellreno
Gabe - got it! LOVE YOUR APP...this rocks!! nice work dude! :)
- Susan Beebe
I have a suggestion... is there a way that we can have things posted to FF in separate posts? Usually I post something to FF so it can have it's "own conversation". Having a bunch of random pictures I liked show up in one post doesn't give that a chance to happen... Just a thought. I like the service, just not quite thrilled with the FF integration the way it is.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Thanks for checking out imgfave everyone! Lindsay, definitely a good suggestion. I think it might make sense to have an option to pick between an hourly rollup of all faved images (like it does now) or having every image auto-posted separately. I'll think about this some more.
- grag
Zee: Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, my plan is to keep imgfave really simple and appeal to users who just want an easy way to bookmark images and share images (and push them out to other services such friendfeed twitter, etc..). A logo and some style improvements are definitely on the todo list. Got some other cool features I'm releasing soon :)
- grag
Gabe - Notice recommendation. Strand sends a notice when I have a mutual connect with a member. That saves researching on the site. FF does not do that.
- Russellreno
Hey Russell: not sure what you mean when you say send a notice when there is a mutual connect. Could you explain that some more?

Hoping to get some feedback on the new version of imgfave. I completely re-wrote the site, added ability to organize images into collections, embeddable widget, full keyboard navigation (arrow keys, space bar to fave), facebook connect integration. Mostly I'd love some feedback on first user impression. Is it confusing at all? User growth has been okay, but hoping this new version will jump start things.
- grag
Michael, what site would you want to import your favorites from? I've been thinking about a flickr import option, simply because people have been asking for a way to organize their faves on flickr for ages.

Do you think vi.sualize.us, ffffound, imgfave and other such image-faving/bookmarking sites infringe copyright? Sites like FriendFeed could be accused of this if you look at it this way!
Caroline, Svartling, Arash and 9 other people liked this
I've had someone complain that I've faved an image on vi.sualize.us and that I should remove it but I replied telling them they need to contact the site owner not me. Me personally, I'm happy for my photography to be bookmarked. They are not hosting the image, they are linking directly back to the image with the appropriate notice. My site and image gets more exposure and it's not being tempered with. Isn't it like any social site, like FriendFeed. Here we must bookmark and share tons of copyrighted material in image, audio, video or text form? What do you think?
- Kol Tregaskes
I am hearing this more and more. I also ran into this soon after joining FF; I faved a photo in flickr and it showed up on FF when my flickr faves were imported. The person sent me a note asking me to remove her photo from FF. I explained how FF worked with the flickr faves, she asked that I not fave her work as she wanted control of her work and did not want anything outside of flickr linking to her work. Short-sighted in my opinion, but I removed her photo from my faves. :/
- JA Castillo
I don't see what damage it can do as long as it is properly credited. On the contrary distributing content leads to more exposure and if that is the case eventually sales, see the recent example of the official Monty Python videos available on YouTube which actually led to more DVD sales.
- M F
JA, agree with you very short-sighted. OK I'm not copyright expert but I'm happy for people to fave any og my photos be it here, on Flickr or on my photography site. If you don't want your photos faved then don't post them on sites like Flickr!
- Kol Tregaskes
I've been exchanging e-mails with this person. It's actually not a vi.sualize.us problem another site. More news later but it doesn't sound good! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
I haven't really had any issues with imgfave. I've gotten a few requests to take down images, but people never seem to angry about it. I think most content owners are probably happy that their work is being shared. The more these sites can credit/promote the original source the better though. I noticed vi.sualize.us now shows extra info about flickr photos (the flickr user and image license). I plan on doing something similar on imgfave.
- grag
They may infringe copyright (according to strict DMCA interpretations), but most don't circumvent hotlinking protections (as far as i know) or making a Flickr feed private. It's up to the copyright owner to use the tools that exist on the host site.
- Rob Haas
Who knows until decided by a judge? That is the evil genius of lawyers. That's only half joking. :-/
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
In reality FriendFeed and vi.salize.us should respect the photo's rights, and privacy settings, the APi should be able to indicate the copyright and not grab non CC / PD photos
- Bastard Operator From FF
Ironically this scenario has just happened, FriendFeed have sent me a mail stating that posts of article about cut-out cars from artist, Yoshihiro Inomoto have been removed from here. Fair enough, no complaints from FriendFeed's point of view but the artist, to me, is silly. I said in my reply to FriendFeed but if the artist doesn't want any exposure that's exactly what I'll give them. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Strange how some people do not want free publicity. If you publish your work on the internet you want it to be seen by as many people as possible, I would think. If I link to a website, I don't claim to be the author therefore I'm not stealing anything or infringing copyright. I only share information, at least this is the way I see it.
- M F
In my experience, vi.sualize.us is very careful to make sure the author of the work is given credit. But, if I were to download a picture from Flickr and submit it as my own, their system will not catch it. I think they should check every image against a database like tineye, just so the photographers get proper credit for their work. We definitely don't profit from sharing their images here with others. I think it is the artist who gains from the extra exposure.
- Michael Fidler
Flickr provides a variety of RSS and even KML feeds : per user, pool you name it. If, for instance, I subscribe to any of these feeds and share an item in my Google Reader (or Feedly or whatever) technically do I infringe copyright? After all my shared items can be seen by other people. And what about all those sites that search and retrieve images from Flickr, even when they are not CC/PD?

A super simple rss aggregator. It's really nothing new for us tech / early adopter folks, but I think these guys are doing a great job appealing to the mainstream (I don't think "rss" is mentioned anywhere on the site).

Jump in and swim straight down. 3.8 meters isn't much, and the shark would be more interested in the seal-looking kayak than the weird smelly thing sinking to the bottom...
- Chris Hollander
I initially thought this was bogus, so I dug around.... http://www.whitesharktrust.org/pages...
- Neil Bernhart
"Although we had extensively tested the shark’s reactions to an empty kayak and had observed no signs of aggression, this gave us little comfort as we eyed a great white heading straight for us, albeit slowly. Just a metre or so from the craft it veered off, circles and slowly approached from behind. It did this several times, occasionally lifting its head out of the water to get a better look. Then it lost interest, and as it continued on its way we were able to follow a short distance behind."

oh god. I obviously hate myself because I actually clicked on that shark link and I am now officially scared out of my mind. Do not like sharks at all.

- Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ
Palin might've had an advantage except for the fact that what little executive experience she does have is fraught with corruption and abuses of power. Shitty executive experience = FAIL.
- Victor Ganata
And nothing says "guilty" like not showing up for your subpoena.
- Victor Ganata
I'm sure that her experience up in Alaska is great for a state like Alaska. But I'd love to see how she'd do in a city like Detroit.
- ::Kristen::
Good video. Thanks. As for Palin=FAIL, that's kinda my point. Everyone pokes fun at and attacks Palin, and no one makes good solid points as to why Obama is a better candidate than McCain. If you are just having fun, then thats great. If you are trying to make a point I don't see it. Its McCain that running against Obama- that should be (imho) where people focus their attention. If we're comparing VP candidates, then I'm sorry but I'll take Palin over Biden any day but I'm not basing my decision on the VP's
- Russell Holliman
One point though about the video and the resumes of the past VPs: they seem to *all* have more experience than Obama.
- Russell Holliman
I hear you can see Russia if you stand in the lobby and look out the window ;-)
- Jeff P. Henderson
She has foreign policy experience too, here's proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Jeff P. Henderson
I think people are concentrating on Palin's qualifications because McCain is so old.
- Gabe
And the hits just keep on coming... that's cool. Just remember, her limited experience negotiating with Canada (yes, Canada) again gives her more real foreign policy experience than Obama. Keep going after Palin and that's whats going to come back.
- Russell Holliman
Wow. Of course, I'm open-minded that a future president could come from humble beginnings. But I'd expect any potential future president to at least sound intelligent when they talk. And proximity to Russia doesn't count as foreign policy experience.
- Mike Reynolds
I'd still take her over Biden any day.
- Russell Holliman
So no one is worried that, given what little power she's wielded, she's abused it as much as she could? I'd rather have someone who was right than someone who was experienced.
- Victor Ganata
Victor: that's far from proven, or even a provable statement.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I'll definitely take her over Biden and she is more experienced than Obama. Between the outright falshoods circulated as "fact" about her, the chopped up transcripts and the general "hate Palin" meme it's not a shock that the FF / Twitteratti hate her (lets face it, she hurt Obama, she must me stopped) but that isn't important to the world at large.
- Soulhuntre
It's mind boggling that anyone thinks Palin should be the VP of our country. How can people overlook her corruption? Do we want a leader who cares more about helping her friends careers than actually doing what's right and serving our country?
- grag
Palin, and McCain's real sin in the eyes of many is that they refuse to feel liek they are bad people or that the USA is a bad puppy who must humble itself at the feet of European public opinion. These days pride in the USA simply will not be tolerated. As for her abuse of power? Every supposed case of this so far has turned out to be overblown or outright fabricated. Whereas Obama's acceptance of huge sums of lobbyist money and requests for earmarks is a actual fact. Glass houses and all :)
- Soulhuntre
Gabe: the same way people will overlook Biden's lies and racism I suppose.
- Russell Holliman
@Gabe - a good point, now go point that microscope at Obama's time in Chicago and you'll be surprised at what you find.
- Soulhuntre
Victor: you'd rather have someone that is right? Is that Biden? He's been contradicting Obama's policy statements all week. So who is right?
- Russell Holliman
Point that microscope at Obama and you'll see someone who has abused power and tied his fate to special interests and lobbyists in order to trade money for votes and support. But, Obama is a good person who occasionally does bad things for the cause, whereas McCain and Palin are bad people, no matter what they have done, or do. It's just that simple in the eyes of the Left.
- ComicList
Palin has been governor for not even two years, and she's already being subpoenaed? I'm too cynical to believe that Obama is clean, but c'mon. There's something fishy up there in Alaska, and I ain't talking salmon.
- Victor Ganata
If we refuse to admit that America is in trouble, then how the hell can we possibly fix it? The collapse of the banking industry and of the housing market, the quagmires in both Iraq *and* Afghanistan, the continuing disappearance of the middle class. I don't know about you, but these are not my definitions of a successful nation. Do I think Obama has all the answers? Of course not. But at least he's willing to talk about the problem, unlike certain other people.

Russell: re: Biden contradicted Obama, can I get a source?
- Victor Ganata
@Victor: Well said. I don't understand how Mccain could stand up there and tell everyone "the fundamentals of our economy are still strong". Not even the Bush administration has the audacity to say that. I want a president who will be honest about the problems we face and not underplay them to make us feel better.

Victor: quick link http://www.youtube.com/watch... Biden talking about *not* supporting clean coal, not supporting coal at all in American. Contradicts what Obama has publicly been saying for a while.

- Kristian Salonen
Remember seeing this site on Techcrunch awhile back. It has a great UI and obviously someone put a ton of work into it.. but somethings not working. Look at their traffic: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/newspon... If I were them I'd consider shifting my focus to a specific niche, such as gaming. Or possibly open up the platform so others could create their own news aggregators. Their technology seems to be pretty good.
- grag
@Gabe Ragland I concurred. The site is really stunning looking and the self-run technology is interesting but because of the latter, it lacks the social element. It's probably the social element that will drive and increase traffic. Users will like to have some control in news they submit but newspond is somewhat mechanical and some might say 'cold'.
- Jonathan Kong
@Jonathan yeah, i think the design could work really well for more vibrant media like images and videos.. but it just overpowers plain text and makes it hard to focus on the actual content.
- grag
I like the design, too, but I think it is also the problem: I can see only 3-4 headings on the frontpage while I'd like to see much more at a glance (like at TechMeme). -> vertical layout should be more compact to fit more items.

yeah, the friendfeed "passionates" are engrossed in the confessions room - it's a shame because it doesn't he;p with keeping new users on here. I'm a little concerned about the lack of new passionate users to be honest - there doesn't seem to be all that much.

I hope so Mo, because if we're not careful this place could quite easily die down and back into what everyone thought it just was originally - an aggregator
- Zee.
There could be a lot new users and discussions happening on friendfeed right now, but just amongst groups of friends (not in rooms). I'd imagine most users aren't that interested in interacting with strangers or meeting new people.. so that may be why things seem slow..

Sidebar = ugh. Left side is for navigation, right side is for filtering. And FF options are filters.

Yep, don't like the left side ... go back to the right
- Deepak Singh
From the blog: "We moved the sidebar to the left-hand side to make navigation easier for those with wide screens." But having a wide-screen actually makes the right-hand sidebar less obtrusive. And distance of mouse-movement is not a serious argument.

errr ... I have a wide screen ... two of them

- Neil Saunders
yep -- I like the sidebar on the right better too and agree with nav vs. filter argument. Aesthetically, sidebar on the right helps keep focus on the feed.
- Marko Bon
after some more usage HATE the left sidebar.
- Deepak Singh
The sidebar must NOT remain on the left side. English is read from left to right, and making users visually filter out auxiliary information to get to the main content is a bad design decision. And in terms of design creativity, the design of the sidebar is several steps back. In fact, not to harp on pessimistically, the new beta design is so much worse than the old beta design (which was pretty near perfect) it renders the web interface of FF unusable for me.
- Gregory Pittman
These responses are a measure of how good FF design *usually* is. I follow the feedback rooms and haven't seen any complaint about the right sidebar - certainly way less than the left. It's enough to make me drop the beta, for now.
- Neil Saunders
the only reason I aint sayin' I hate it is because I expect em to move it back to it's happy place on the right any minute now.
- Marko Bon
Well I'll be the odd one in the bunch, I like it on the left side - so far anyway.

best would be for us to pick an option, but why can't they make the left work like the right?
