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! :)

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.

@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!

@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)

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)

- 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 ..

What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else.
- FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you.
- Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible.
- FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it.
- Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about?
- Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like....
- FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug.
- Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog.
- Bret Taylor
User-driven...I like.
- Josh Haley
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us?
- Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender?
- Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed.
- Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended
- Bret Taylor
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical)
- Meryn Stol
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant.
- FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.

Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn)
- Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations

Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :)
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.
- Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday.
- Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

Giant Rabbit Fossil Found: Biggest Bunny Was "Roly-Poly" - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news...
Halil, Anna Haro, Jessie and 8 other people liked this
"The Easter bunny came early this year for a few scientists working on the Spanish island of Minorca (see map). The team has just announced the discovery of Earth's biggest known rabbit species, an oddly unbunny-like giant dubbed Nuralagus rex—"the Minorcan king of the hares." The 26-pound (12-kilogram) prehistoric species was about six times bigger than the common European rabbit, found on most continents, according to an analysis of several bones. Study leader Josep Quintana is no stranger to giant Minorcan rabbit fossils, though it took a while before he knew exactly how big a find he'd uncovered. "When I found the first bone I was 19 years old, I was not aware what this bone represented. I thought it was a bone of the giant Minorcan turtle!" said Quintana, a paleontologist at the Institut Català de Palentologia in Barcelona. (See "Easter Surprise: World's Oldest Rabbit Bones Found.") The animal, which lived about three to five million years ago, had several "odd" features that have never before been seen in rabbits, living or extinct, according to the study."

Mark, you are somehow late to the party, but this community already provided quite extensive feedback when Research Blogging was launched (2008?). And it's frustrating to see exactly the same mistakes repeated again. My comment wasn't directed at you.
- Pawel Szczesny
from iPhone
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I assure you, we are paying attention. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, which is why we are planning on open sourcing this project. However, there was an issue of timeliness; we needed to get the site launched quickly because of the growing fragmentation of the science blogosphere.
- Dave Munger
We worked especially hard on the login system, but had to move to a backup plan (wordpress+janrain) in order to meet the site launch deadlines. I'd appreciate more details on what you see as the ideal system.
- Dave Munger
We believe we have innovative ideas for categories as well, but again in the interest of time, had to move to a simpler system. Unlike ResearchBlogging, this system is designed to be easily upgraded.
- Dave Munger
More feedback: The username restrictions are a bit harsh. Capital letters aren't allowed, but you don't find this out until after you try to register.
- Mr. Gunn
Dave, instead of "quickly because of the growing fragmentation of the science blogosphere" you wanted to write "quickly because of Science Online 2011 coming", right? Fragmented blogosphere could wait a month or two...
- Pawel Szczesny
Neil, Thanks, version tracker should be up soon. I would, however, dispute your contention that Open ID/OAuth logins are all that are required. I've been bitten in the ass by Open ID when a site I was using for authorization shut down, locking me out of all other sites. Some users find open authorization systems confusing. IMHO, better to have multiple options. But I agree, the different options could be presented more clearly on the site.
- Dave Munger
Pawel, indirectly, yes, but #scio11 was a great way to get visibility and attract volunteers to help build the site. Launching a more refined system 2 months from now wouldn't necessarily do that. I'm not sure I see the harm in launching a site that is basically functional now. What do we gain from waiting?
- Dave Munger
Why do you require a login at all? NB I haven't thought through the implications of not having one, so I'm being lazy and asking you to do my thinking for me. FFTTMTFO (feel free to tell me to...). :-)
- Bill Hooker
Bill, this is mainly an effort to reduce spam. And with OpenID you actually don't need to login as long as you're logged in to twitter, facebook, gmail, or some such.
- Dave Munger
Dave, gain from waiting? Probably none. However, I felt like it needs to be said that site is half-finished (first comment). But more importantly I didn't like you haven't been honest with your first comment ("growing fragmentation of the science blogosphere" vs "#scio11 was a great way to get visibility and attract volunteers to help build the site" written later). What was the point of this comment?
- Pawel Szczesny
Pawel, I guess if you don't believe me then there's not really anything I can say here to convince you, other than to repeat what I have already said. We built the site because of a perceived need -- fragmentation in the science blogosphere. We set a deadline because that's how you get things done. We announced it at a major conference because we wanted to reach as many people as...
more...
- Dave Munger
Dave, it's not about believing (although I must admit I'm not giving benefit of doubt to science writers of SO community), but rather about clear communication. I've assumed you understand the difference between motivation to launch site at all and decision to launch early, hence the comment about "honesty". If you don't see that difference, indeed this discussion becomes pointless.
- Pawel Szczesny
Pawel, I guess it comes down to the question of whether we launched too early. You think we launched too early, though I haven't heard you articulate any clear reasons why we should have waited. I don't think we launched too early as we have a functional site that is useful to many people. Yes, it needs more work, but it's useful now. We have now set up a site to track bugs, but I would say the bug tracker is not perfect yet. Should we wait to launch that?

That shift made the airport signs, which reference a heading based on magnetic north, incorrect. But what causes the magnetic field, and why is it shifting? The planet has undergone several magnetic polar reversals in its past, with north becoming south and vice versa. Are we due for another shift? We'll talk about the planet's magnetic field."
