I ♥ the New Friendfeed UI
There are those that hate the new Friendfeed UI and then there are those, like us, who really like the new UI and like the direction that things are going. :)
Looking for some new folks to follow on Labor Day. List some of your favorites.

Is there a list (either RSS or otherwise) of the most active users or groups on FriendFeed. I know ffholic has one. Just curious if there is an official one.

No official one but search results from the group search are ordered by the number of users I believe.

Against the FF Takeover! - FriendFeed - http://friendfeed.com/against...
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.

I still don't understand what rooms, groups etc. are supposed to be or how they differ from feeds.
- Karl Knechtel
Karl, everything is a feed, so groups = feeds - "groups" (new UI) used to be "rooms" (old UI). Does that help?
- Kol Tregaskes
5. Easy inviting system should be a similar screen to the one we have for selecting what Subscriptions to show on your sidebar.

6. Notifications for group membership changes and list of groups we admin on the Subscription page: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
Great suggestions. This is one of the big things that bugs me about the beta UI.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Some good ideas here. Especially the stickies and invitations. Locking could well apply system-wide (i.e. in any feed).

Sure, possibly.
- Kol Tregaskes
7. Email notifications for groups (could help migrate users used to mailing list groups like Yahoo Groups: http://friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
8. The group description, name and username should be saved when you click to add services or change the group's picture. At the moment changes are lost. A warning should appear at least. Having them save would mean you wouldn't have to go into the group settings page twice, for example, to add a description and a service upon creating a new group.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm very picky about my urls, if I create a private group, can the url be "http://friendfeed.com/hoopsom..." ? Ultimately I'd like to be able to "tag" content and then look at all content I've tagged or labled by going to a specific url under my username. groups are more powerful than tags because I can auto-populate them in lots of interesting ways. I think of tags as a generalization of "like" I don't want to say that I like something just because I want to be able to find it later.
- Hoop
Hoop, no to the URL, groups are in the format: http://friendfeed.com/<groupname>. As for tagging, yep, simply add a # before a word and that turns into a link to the search for that word, e.g. #FriendFeed or for all my suggestions and bugs posts like this use #betakoltaglist

@tedtheteacher Well, for starters I will highlight only two of many answers: 1) The post above (and this comment too) went to the following locations: my FF feed, two FF rooms, my Twitter stream, a mention to you on Twitter, and to my Facebook Wall (plus a special FF FB App Tab); & 2) We can easily have a threaded discussion about your question which is open to others to chime in on and all involved can easily follow the discussion.

Thanks for chiming in LAN. Before FB implimented their 'sort of' real-time feed and extensive groups, I would have added both of those to FF's 'greatest' features too, but still FF tends to be more open then FB. Personally, my FB is pretty closed to only people I know and 'trust'. Sure I have some FB 'friends' that I've never met, but chances are I have 'met' and interacted with them on FF...

Twitter, I would say, is an ocean of information. Some of that data can be vauable to some, not to others, and some is just plain crap to all, but maybe the poster.

Easier bulk sub/unsub'ing would be cool. :-)

I agree with Kol, but don't think unsubscribing to all that are not subscribed to you is a good approach. You should sub to people that provide you value, not because you want them to sub back. Just my 2 cents...

I don't think you should really care if people follow you back, you should care that the people you do follow are interesting to you.
- Alex Scrivener
I see this a little different. It should be normal to subscribe back. But no problem.

- ianf ⌘
exactly. You got it. My policy is clear: Normally I wabt you to subscribe back or fuck off :). And a possibility to set up an automatic subscribe back/unsubsribing is a great help for me. I use this for a long time on Twitter. Socialtoo.com makes it possible. When there is such a feature, doesn't mean YOU have to use it. I want.
- Ryo / Fuck Facebook
from IM
So, in effect, in this medium where everything is voluntary, and nobody forces anyone else to do/ read/ or follow anything or anyone, you want to introduce a compulsory element: subscribe back or else. Failing that, at least an augmented method for getting rid of unwanted "non-followers" that already said "fuck off" to you. Wouldn't mass non-subscribing to unknown entities in the first place be overall easier to all parties involved?
- ianf ⌘
I would like a batch option to subscribe to people who have subscribed to me - there are too many clicks to do this manually - it becomes tedious.
- Chris Loft
I not worried if they follow me back, it's really up to them. Perhaps knowing who doesn't follow you back might be useful though but maybe a nice-to-have.
- Kol Tregaskes
FriendVenn can help make this process easier, although not automatic. http://ff.deasil.com/friendv...

Regardless of whether it's how you choose to use FF there are people who do want all reciprocal subs and people who don't care. There is no wrong way to do it and it's really rather petty and shortsighted, ianf, for you to presume that everyone must use the medium in a particular way. Personally I sub to almost everyone who subs to me and I agree with Ryo and Kol: managing subscribers...

- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Keep in mind though that if someone has email sub notifications turned off, it might actually be a while before they realize you're subscribed to them. I usually reciprocate immediately, but I don't get inundated with new subscribers; therefore I receive notification for each new one. How much time do you want to give them to reciprocate? 24 hours, a week, a month?
- Steve Lowe
You do realize of course that a person can subscribe to just your likes or just your comments without subscribing to everything you post?
- April Russo (app103)
Has anyone tried FriendVenn? Does that work pretty well?
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
So Ryo's and Kol's (and yours, presumably) arguments are "no wrong way to do it," while mine are "petty and shortsighted" - all because you can not find a better, non-personal way of attacking it? Noted.

- Ryo / Fuck Facebook

No ianf, I am not saying your way of doing it is petty and shortsighted. I'm saying you are acting petty and shortsighted by presuming that your way of using FF is the way everyone should be using it. The adjectives were chosen based on your verbiage here "Now you want FF to implement a manual, if not an automagick periodic mass-unsubscribe function in order to save yourself the bother...

- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Those words, you see, very clearly imply that Ryo's method of using FF and managing his subscriptions is clearly subpar to the way you feel they should be managed. Assuming that your method is superior simply because it is the way you do it is acting petty and shortsighted.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
So these absolutely couldn't be your petty and shortsighted (and worse) interpretations of my words, in effect accusing me of being your straw man, but must be my unquestionably petty and shortsighted means, daring to argue with someone else in public perhaps?
- ianf ⌘
Anyone who's interacted with me on FF knows that I am a fan of reasonable and even heated discussions in public: I participate in them all the time (such as now). Choosing to turn a heated discussion into an argument is a different matter altogether, and if you choose to do so I have no control over that. Not everything is a fight. And again, to Ryo: you will likely get a response from the FF team regarding your request if you post it in the FF Feedback room.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I see, heated debate: good; argument: bad (news to me who tends to view them both as forms of discussion–but to each his own). Perhaps you could divulge the precise instruments by which you declare one or the other. We [royal we] already know that your arguments are reasonable because they are, after all, yours; while mine (in a heated-debate-slash-argument with Ryo, though it felt more like molasses to me) are petty and whatever, simply because they're mine and not yours.
- ianf ⌘
Maybe a good middle ground would be a side-by-side comparison of who you're following and who is following you? Or maybe a list of follow mismatches in either direction? Personally, I would find that really useful as I make an effort to follow-back anyone who follows me and am not always sure I do a good job of it.

Err, I also like to post comments and THEN read up. Thanks, felix! That's a nice tool!

I wish I hadn't read this. I'm now subscribed to way too many people I know nothing about. It's probably a fairly good crowd, but with most posts being obscure-to-me twitter posts, it's not working out real well.

Chuck: I was lucky in that I put all the Twitter friends into a separate list. That list has about 1000x more noise than my other three lists. It's too bad that friendfeed didn't do that by default.

So right, Robert. I just setup an account the other day, and removing nearly 2k people from the HomeFeed on that account was a PITA.

Just in case anyone wanted to know my preference... I much prefer FriendFeed to Twitter. There are just too many fake/spam accounts like @ohdhuwfylewb who follow 1000's then get deleted. Now I have to clean up my followers or else I have to see, we'll just call them, 'un-wanted' profile pics.

Is that a factor of friendfeed's relative newness and lack of exposure as compared to twitter, or something inherent in the technology or implementation of friendfeed versus twitter?

I was contemplating the newness factor while I typed... Could be, but I also think the rise in mainstream news/tv promotion of Twitter definitely has something to do with it.
- Walt Ruppar
Just realizing I didn't really answer the question... The FriendFeed UI is also much more efficient to use. While you can get real-time, lists, & searches with client apps for Twitter, there's still no threaded discussions like this one.

1. I’m in favour of removing the service icons as it means less discrimination towards certain types of posts but still feel there is a need for a few services like Last.fm, that need to be clear to users: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
2. I like that there is no add link feature, it simplifies the posting process and makes the title a little tidier. Having the link at the end of the title is fine but perhaps that is one place where the full URL needs to be visible?: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...

6. Perhaps "friends list" should be changed to "subscriptions list": http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol #2: displaying full URL after a title is untenable in practice, since urls can be arbitrarily long (or is it 1024 chars at most?). So you'll end up having to shorten them anyway. Therefore it's be better to do away with the "http://www." bit entirely, show just the domain followed by "..." followed by a certain number of characters of the LAST element in it. E. g. this <http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment...> would become <guardian.co.uk/.../film-hitler>

9. There might be less spam in the FF-Feedback room if there was a clear guide after new users have registered. The first thing they see is the FF-Feedback group group entries on their home feed (as they are automatically subscribed to the FF-Feedback group). A quick overview or tutorial would really help. Perhaps new users should go through a mini questionnaire asking them of their interests and then FF suggests some groups they might like relating to their input.

Little icons next to the items showing what service it comes from would be an awesome feature, especially if you could click on them to filter by that content type.
- Mr. Gunn
Not sure what 3 is talking about. 4 seems hard to implement with so much posting being automated by services. 5 seems redundant if we can just have a quick way to repost things - then you can just repost it to a private feed that you create for the purpose. I have my own thoughts about implementing 11. Otherwise, very much agreed, especially 7 through 10.
- Karl Knechtel
Karl, for 3 the link probably explains it more but if you share something via the share box to your feed + another feed, say the Feedback group, if you go onto your feed it doesn't show you that that post has also been shared to the Feedback group.
- Kol Tregaskes
Karl, for 4, well it already does detect duplicates (as you can see in the old UI) so must be possible to check this *before* posting. 5. A reshare feature is certainly a workaround for this but it needs to reshare it properly (i.e not like the old UI reshare) and share the comments as well.
- Kol Tregaskes
Feel free to share you thoughts on 11, Karl. :-)

I explained my idea in the linked discussion (http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...). I'm pretty new here BTW so I really have no idea how things work in the old UI ;)
- Karl Knechtel
Ah OK, Karl. The reshare in the old UI basically is a link to the original post, so no comments are shared or synced. What would be nice is that the new reshare feature acts the same way as posting something to multiple feeds from the share box. So once you reshare it puts that post in that feed and all comments and likes. etc. are synced. Hope that makes sense? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Keeping comments/likes etc. synced has its pros and cons. Basically, it avoids confusion, but raises questions about privacy policy e.g. if something is reshared from a public feed to a private one or vice-versa.
- Karl Knechtel
Karl, very true, I don't think DMs between users only should be share-able. Only ones shared to your feed and groups. Fairly easy rule?
- Kol Tregaskes
It's not just about DMs... say I have an invite-only feed, and invite a few people in and they comment on my items there because I'm awesome ( ;) )... and then someone wants to re-share one of those items to a public group. Or say I want to re-share from the public group into my invite-only feed. What happens with comments?
- Karl Knechtel
Karl, then DMing from a private groups should be blocked. It's a goo point on posting from public to private. Any anyone suggest what could be done here?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm sure that isn't the only issue, either, although I can't think of more right now.

Well, thank you Kol for reheating this urlinfested missive - now I can kiss the rest of the day good-bye. Lots of interesting suggestions, some downright asking to be implemented, some misguided ones. Misguided, because you can't just pile features and options onto such a complex piece of software as is the FF without extracting a penalty in lowered usability/ raised complexity (and then there are the delicate problems of entropy and spaghetti code...).

Me, I'd gladly give up ability to share stuff to other blogs (=quite a big undertaking) if only I could unobtrusively link to and respond to comments, e.g. <http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...>

Ad #1: no dropdown menus, make it default behavior; #2: "ability to share a comment directly to a user" - like DM the commenter with commentID appended? nice, but perhaps too much of a luxury; #3: "display which posts are shared to where" – no, too much info; #4: "Duplicate post warning" - no warnings, has to be default behavior (preventing this, while noting the effort) unless posting...

Ad #16: I'm not against making FF Be-All-To-All-People, but that's asking for trouble: "(To make FF useful as a user's blog,) the ability to format, say, the first 3 comments from the share box before posting, this would need a comment box to return to the share box." You mean "format" as in HTML? Uh-oh. Wrong metaphor. Elsewhere: you want to share text and (apparently off-page)...

- ianf ⌘
Ad #17: The "little icons" are called "service icons" and the Beta.FF has withdrawn them. They're not coming back no matter how much you kvetch since their absence is central to the gentle visual hum-model that FF team has chosen for their project. Your (and others') longing for reinstatement of these is pure, but in the circumstances superfluous, emo. You CAN filter out posts based on their verbose "service:source" parameter, no need to do that visually on post-by-post basis.
- ianf ⌘
Oh, is that what they are called? It doesn't matter what you call them - I still want them back. They are functional and descriptive, as well as iconic. Is that official that they have been withdrawn and are never coming back?? How do you know this?? I hate scanning lines and lines of text - without some graphic 'feel' FF becomes too text based - and I start to go dyslectic. I wonder if...

1. Use brackets () to shorten your search text: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
2. To search for a group or user just start typing the name in the search box and options that match will appear in the dropdown.
- Kol Tregaskes
3. For adding photos via the share box use the image's URL instead of the long route of saving the image to you local machine and adding it that way.
- Kol Tregaskes
4. To quickly get to the advanced search page just click the Search button with nothing in the box.

5. In Firefox and Chrome at least you are able to drag and drop a user's name into the comment box. Perhaps one way to mark a comment as a 'reply'. Tip came from: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...

Another reason to do the namespacing thing I was getting at elsewhere (i.e. /namlhaz/feeds/johnqpublic wouldn't prevent Mr. Public from signing up later). Which also allows me to have a "webcomics" private feed while other users also have one. :)

Karl, this could be a reasonably good workaround for my request for categories. I'd still need to tag the entries in some way but could use, for example, http://beta.friendfeed.com/koltreg... for my photography tagged posts, which I could share out in a nice tidy-ish URL.

1. DMs to everyone regardless to if you subscribe to each other, but with a on/off toggle.
- Kol Tregaskes
IGNORE: 2. Public DMs (LOW).
- Kol Tregaskes
3. Change “Direct messages” to “Notices”: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
IMPLEMENTED: 4. IM alerts for DMs.
- Kol Tregaskes
5. DMs also shared to a public feed need to be far clearer so the user knows the message is publicly visible: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
6. Distribution lists for DMs: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... and http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Kol Tregaskes
1: I assume you mean a toggle like "accept DMs from people you don't subscribe to". 2: makes no sense to me. 3: Agreed. 4: +1, but a bad implementation could ruin the idea. 5: My gut reaction is that there are a lot of logical pitfalls lurking about here. 6: I don't really like the idea of distribution lists. If you just add to a feed, everyone can see it anyway. What we need is a way to draw subscribers' attention to the presence of a new item.
- Karl Knechtel
Karl, for 1, I believe DMs will be open to everyone regardless of whether each of you subscribe to the other. If so, then a toggle to turn it off for people who don't want to be DM'ed would probably be need.
- Kol Tregaskes
Karl, for 2 I think this can actually be done anyway, you can post to a user but also to your own feed, thus a "pulbic" DM. So can ignore 2.
- Kol Tregaskes
Karl, the idea for 6 came up from Alex as he sends out his stock market game results as DMs. If you look at one of these the list is huge and messy. Sure the names need to be seen but to have a dist. list that you can post to would be far easier to maintain than adding all those users every time you post to them. So it's more a private dist list you can create, edit and use.

can i delete a DM sended to me? i don't want to see it and his comments.
- Felter Roberto
a choice "comment only to sender" or "comment to all"
- Felter Roberto
Felter, you are able to delete the entry but that would delete it from your DM page and he feed. There is no way to remove it from his feed only and thus turned into a private-style DM. Interesting feature to have though.
- Kol Tregaskes
Felter, I think the two comments options would get very complicated. What does everyone think, though?
- Kol Tregaskes
if i receive a DM, my reply could be important only for the sender, why all the other have to read it?
- Felter Roberto
