RT @christoform: Oh hell yea! @Chad_Hurley and @stevechen buy delicious. As an active user, thats great news. And great to have them back at it. Congrats!
I'd like to ask them to please upgrade their site.

More worrisome is that every single 'Hint question' they offer has answers that can commonly be found on Facebook. 'Mothers maiden name' or 'Fathers middle name' are no longer secure questions.
- Kevin Fox
Looks like they're not even IE6 generation, and people are already abandoning IE6, if only for IE8. I bet they haven't even updated since IE6 came out...

I won't even go into the form-validation logic.

If your FriendFeed to Twitter publishing isn't working, go to http://friendfeed.com/setting... and login again. Twitter disabled HTTP Basic Auth, so we can only publish your entries if you've gone through the new OAuth routine.
The real problem is Twitter to Friendfeed not Friendfeed to Twitter. Friendfeed doesn't import my Twitter entries. Friendfeed to Twitter now is working, thanks.
- catepol
Please fix Twitter to Friendfeed (with private Twitter account like mine Friendfeed doesn't work since Twitter decided to change OAuth settings)
- catepol
No problems with FriendFeed to Twitter. Real problem is Twitter to FriendFeed. Trying to create a new Twitter service (or to refresh the old one) on FriendFeed, it says me the Twitter account was not found.
- Maxime
I can't add my Twitter again, either. I get the same message as Ciaoenrico.
- Michelle M
Thanks a lot, Paul! They did this in the middle of my microblogging the Human Microbiome Research Conference last week, but hopefully this will fix it in time for the Lake Arrowhead MIcrobial Genomics meeting.
- Ruchira S. Datta
Yup---FF to Twitter is fine but T to FF it says my open account doesn't exist.
- Hedgehog
Thanks much, Paul. Friendfeed is still too great a product to let fall into disarray. The world will catch on eventually, I hope.
- Sean McBride
Yep, I can't get Twitter to import to FF, either. I tried opening my Twitter to do it, but that didn't seem to matter, so I re-protected.
- Lix
Yep, same problem for me as everyone else. FF publishes to Twitter fine, but won't import Twitter. Now FF can't even find my Twitter account, says it's not found.
- Jandy
FF publishes to Twitter. Ok. FF doesn't import Twitter. I've removed my Twitter account on FF. I want to add it again and now FF can't even find my Twitter account, says it's not found. (yes I have a private account on Twitter).
- catepol
Exactly the same as catepol. FF now says that my Twitter account does not exist...
- LaZiaElena
we all want to import our twitter posts into friendfeed as before
- catepol
same here: FF can't recognize my twitter account. It was made to share my kindle clippings, and I want to forward that feed here. Please fix it - we all love FriendFeed and want it fully working :)
- PaperDoll
publishing to Twitter stopped working again, i've signed in and out at the publishing preferences page several times and checked my publishing preferences. :(
- Ruchira S. Datta
I try to add my legitimate #Twitter account to Friendfeed but keep getting the message "We could not find the given account" every single time. Why is it so?
- Maqbool Bhat
Twitter to FriendFeed doesn't work, and I guess this is a tactical decision so that people would use FF to post on Twitter, but to be honest, I will give up FF if that's the case!! and simply stick to Twitter..
- HDG Ticaret
Same here I can't FriendFeed to find my twitter account... rather annoying
- Bren @ Headlines-Today
late to the party on this one but i am no longer found when trying to add my twitter
- Angela P.
What everyone else said. Need to go FROM Twitter TO Friendfeed.
- Derrick
+1. Getting the "We could not find the given account" error when trying to connect and import my Twitter posts into the FriendFeed.
- Южное Тушино, мкр 11
same problem as above - "We could not find the given account" - any idea what's wrong or more importantly, when it'll be fixed?
- dorwardmedia
same problem here Twitter to Friendfeed don't work
- Ozan Zırhlı
I have the same problem too - was told it couldn't find my twitter account. So when will Twitter to Friendfeed finally work for us? We seriously want Friendfeed to become more relevant in our social networking lives!
- Jenny Teo
I also cannot get my private twitter account to publish to friendfeed. Please fix
- librarianhope
I'm having the same problem: when this first cropped up, I removed my Twitter, tried to re-add it after signing in using OAUTH, but now it says "The given account is not found..." How do I fix this?!
- Meredith Sweet
I did that x3, & still no FF to Twitter posts happened. FF to FB publishing has quit for me, too. So I have discontinued using FF to post anywhere for now & will give a new try another day down the road. (So the help tickets I submitted are irrelevant now.)
- ShamanicShift
Also: I, too, have seen the error message that FF cannot find my Twitter account when I attempt to refresh -- and when I removed it to re-add it (as something else to try), it took MANY attempts (before my Twitter was back on the list of services),
- ShamanicShift
Same problem (my twitter account isn't even private). Stopped tweets importing 3 days ago.
- Ashalynd
same issue as above "We could not find the given account"
- Mardetanha
+1. Getting the "We could not find the given account" error when trying to connect and import my Twitter posts into the FriendFeed.

I'm authorizing app, and getting redirect back, but have no posting to twitter again. It's always "To post to Twitter, you need to sign in first."
- Ivan Larionov
Also often getting "Service Unavailable" from FF.
- Ivan Larionov
I love this interaction too. Though, that's a fade between two images... no zoom. At least not on Chrome. And they could also pulse the pin or something. I discovered the zoom from region to city pretty early... but it took me a while to find the zoom to intersection.
- Michael Leggett
Thanks Stephen. I'm really proud of the team on this one... they poured a lot of blood and sweat into the ranking algo. We tried a lot of different approaches for the UI too. We've been working on it for I don't know how long. Happy to see it getting out to all users.
- Michael Leggett
For FFers... here are my comments from my Buzz post...
- Michael Leggett
1. Watch the 2min video. It is a great overview of what is being launched.
- Michael Leggett
2. This is a beta launch. All that means is we're not being too aggressive and the functionality is opt in. It is launching over the next week. Look for a red "New! Priority Inbox" link in the top right corner of your Gmail. Click on that to enable it / learn more.
- Michael Leggett
3. Priority Inbox takes training. Accuracy should be helpful out of the box (~80%), but it needs to be > 95% to be awesome. That's where you come in. Use the +/- buttons to correct emails that are incorrectly marked important or not important. It might take a week or two... but trust me, it will get there.
- Michael Leggett
4. Priority Inbox gives stars meaning! Use them to pin to-do's to your inbox so they don't fall off the cliff or go hiding in some label. Even if you don't use the ranking aspect (you can click on a section header to change what shows up there and some of the options have nothing to do with ranking).
- Michael Leggett
5. Hidden gem: "Archive all visible." Click on the "Everything else" section title to see a menu of options. At the bottom of that menu is an awesome action called Archive all visible. I use this to keep my inbox clean while leaving all my new items (unprocessed) and starred items (to do's) alone. I don't read everything in this section, but I at least look at the subject.
- Michael Leggett
1. Correct any false positives / false negatives with the +/- buttons (this puts items in the correct bucket for processing).
- Michael Leggett
2. Read my New & Unimportant items. I start at the top and click "next" without going back to the inbox each time to pick what to read next (that decision is a waste of time). Star anything I need to come back to or has a to-do.
- Michael Leggett
3. Once done, my top section is empty and I have some tasks in my starred section. I skim the stuff in the "Everything else" section... might read a couple items... star if there is a task... and then Archive all using the "Archive all visible" under the Everything else section menu.
- Michael Leggett
The self cleaning nature of this inbox (once you read something in the top section, it jumps to either the starred section if starred or the Everything else section) takes a little getting used to. But it just means you stop being lazy and decide what to do with something the first time you see it.
- Michael Leggett
This sounds awesome, can't wait to try it!

""Did you ever hear of a diet which was fun to follow? A diet which would let you have two martinis before lunch, and a thick steak generously spread with Sauce Béarnaise, so that you could make your sale in a relaxed atmosphere and go back to the office without worrying about having gained so much as an ounce? A diet which allows you to take out your favorite girl for a dinner of squab and broccoli with hollandaise sauce and Chateau Lafitte, to be followed by an evening of rapture and champagne?" So starts a jaunty little pamphlet titled The Drinking Man's Diet that first appeared in 1964. It was published by an equally jaunty San Francisco bon vivant, Robert Cameron, who priced it at $1. (Cameron used noms de plume--first Gardner Jameson and Elliott Williams, later Jeffrey W. Roberts.) In two years, he sold 2.4 million copies in 13 languages. Now Cameron, 93, still jaunty, still a bon vivant and still admirably trim from following his own diet, is reissuing this classic. It can be bought for $4.95 through Amazon.com or through Cameron's own Web site (www.abovebooks.com)."

As much as "BP sucks right now", they're also the company that happened to have a bad disaster at the moment. It's hard to rationally dislike and/or boycott a certain brand of petrol more because of the current disaster. In other words, I have no reason to refute the notion that "All Oil Companies Suck™".
- George S.
A reason such as "all oil from this oil company comes from a specific country" might have more merit, though.
- George S.
The thing to hate about BP is how they're not fixing this in any reasonable timeframe. (Let the fire happen in the first place, didn't put it out, didn't stop the leak, etc.) The thing that sucks even more is that the flow of oil in the US goes Well->Refinery->Station. What that means is that oil from BP wells makes it to nearly every gas station brand out there.
- Steve and 3 other people
Oil is a commodity. It doesn't matter where it comes from, or who pumps it out of the ground, it all gets mixed together into the commodity pot and gets sold to the open world market. This makes it hard to hate on one particular company in any meaningful way.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Money is a commodity as well. Why should I care whether the gas I'm boycotting came from a BP rig? I'm making a financial statement, however small, against the company whose shortcuts resulted in this disaster.
