One more thing: All of our iframe embeds (including search) support a css=URL parameter to enable custom style. We haven't documented it yet, but see http://friendfeed.com/buildin... for an example and howto, and http://www.building43.com/ to see it live.

But how do I customize the title so it's not the long search string?

Paul, first tried to embed in the post, but did not work out. Then I embedded the search in a sidebar widget, that worked: http://www.amsterdam20.nl - any tips how to make the embedding working in a regular WP 2.8 post? Or is this not possible b/c it is an iframe? TIA!

Is there any chance of losing the scroll bar? I know you can manually increase the height but would really like this frame to automatically grow on my site. Or is this technically impossible atm? Either way, a very cool feature. :-)

Paul.. thanks for the "undocumented update".. it's nice to have such open access to what's happening at FriendFeed. I'm used to the "Wall of Silence" from Google and THAT gets old and extremely frustrating fast.
- Chris Myles
Cool. I just discovered the embed flag yesterday. I like loading the feeds in the firefox sidebar.
- Peter Warnock
Kol, I think you are a little out of luck.. since an Iframe is just a "window" to another URL, the main page needs to define the size. Without it the browser would need to load every iframe page just to determine how to render the main one. However It would be nice to have an embedded option that allows the "N more comments" concept (more details here http://ff.im/4fGzH), it takes up...

Chris, so the iframe is not the way forward? What alternatives could achieve this? I don't mind putting in some code to embed my FF posts properly (with a frame).
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, I'm not sure where you got the impression I don't think Iframes are the way forward, I was addressing your issue of "losing the scrollbar". An Iframe is the only way to get "real time" updates.. you could always roll your own javascript, ff API , DOM based utility but it would only get you the content at the time of the API call. If the FF team thought http://ff.im/4fGzH was a good...

- Chris Myles
So there is no other way to get real-time updates without an iframe? Once we can get rid of the scrollbar then I can use it on my site.
- Kol Tregaskes
FF can only update pages they own! BTW in its current form I think the benefits of an embedded FF post (or group etc) far outweigh any minor side effects of a scrollbar. I'd love to use friendfeed as my entire blog commenting system, I'm just waiting for a couple of things (http://ff.im/3TfED) to automate the process.

We would love to embed a private room on internal Deki Wiki. The last time I tried it still had the sidebar. I will try again to see if you have made it possible to do this.

Dave misses that FriendFeed search can be constrained by groups of people YOU pick. This is the real "track" that Steve Gillmor keeps talking about. Oh, and by the way, my blog items (via RSS) get into FriendFeed within 60 seconds. Anyone figure out how I do that?
- Robert Scoble
I agree with Dave, though. Real Time search raises more questions than it answers and FriendFeed's UI has too much duplication and not enough tools to help you manage it. Until that happens it's going to be as geeky as a command line interface. Lots of people will use it, yes, but there's something better out there and the minute a company figures it out we'll go "of course" just like we did when we saw the Mac UI.

Jeronen - you're awesome - thanks for the tip on the plugin.

It definitely is a great idea with the real time track but in real-life in practical usage it is not very useful yet. You do not get much information other than a bunch of mentions of couple of the most prominent links on the topic.

How do I watch a real-time search for anything about Google or Android or Google Wave or ARM holdings or white spaces. I'd like to only see results liked by at least 1 other FriendFeed user, let me rate reliabillity of other friendfeed users, I want similar entries to be somehow grouped (could be something like TechMeme) so we can automatically combine all our discussions grouped entries somehow at one place (perhaps under the most relevant of the entries)
- Charbax
Charbax: here's a search for "Google" or "Android" or "Google Wave" or "ARM holdings" with one like or more. You can't yet group entries. I hope FriendFeed really works on the duplication problem I'm seeing. http://friendfeed.com/search...

@Jesse: It's a dead twitter command "track keyword" sends you realtime updates whenever the word is used. Think of it like realtime google alerts for friendfeed.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I'm pretty sure Gillmor et al kept calling it "track" because that's what Twitter called it back when they had it for a week.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
On a related note, live embeddable searches mean that I can hack together my own FF embeds for the pages that don't have them yet, like say "comment:dpritchett" http://friendfeed.com/search...

Daniel, Twitter never had this - this isn't "track"

The blogpost said they're working to implement "keyword notifications" Jesse, that will be "track"

Twitter's brought back track, it's just no one cares. You can now have updates by keyword on Twitter pushed to you, via XMPP, just like track used to. Gillmor says that's not track.
- Jesse Stay
That's why I hate the term "track" - no one knows what it is. The way Paul is explaining it, as real-time search, is a much better way of explaining it.
- Jesse Stay
I guess we're still missing the realtime notifications piece that folks want. You can shape the firehose to watch terms in realtime but you can't yet get it pushed outside of FF via email or IM?

You're right Jesse - it's not exactly Track but it's getting a lot closer. The old Twitter Track allowed you to set up multiple search terms (e.g. track iphone) and get those delivered to your IM with zero time lag. At any time you could type "track" to see what you're currently tracking and "untrack" to untrack something - e.g. "untrack iphone". There are some third party tools that...

Voel me nog wat onwennig met Friendfeed maar je artikeltje werkt zeer verhelderend. Thanks.
- Peter de Kock
Dank je. :-) Voordeel van FF vind ik zelf dat je je sneller thuis gaat voelen dan op Twitter. Zogauw je je feeds hebt toegevoegd staat er nl al iets van je op de service, waardoor 't stapje richting comments geven (of 'likes') stukken kleiner wordt. Maar wellicht dat dit mijn persoonlijke beleving is; je komt er zelf snel genoeg achter. ;-)

The dragging and dropping of tabs is really cool - I'm having fun dragging and dropping tabs in multiple windows :P
- Wang Yip
It seems to be really really fast.
- Peter Stuifzand
speed now is comparable to Google Chrome - will probably use Ffox more often now; I hope it is also more stable than previous version
- Jeroen De Miranda
thanks, I love it.
- azadeh
Subjectively, it doesn't seem as fast as chrome to me, atleast on startup. Start both FF3.5 and Chrome, and then quit them. Set them to a homepage of about:blank to see a bigger difference,. Now, relaunch. On OSX, I find Chrome starts atleast 2x quicker. Objectively, on my own benchmark, http://api.timepedia.org/benchma... , FF3.5 runs twice as slow at Javascript/DOM execution compared to Safari 4 on OSX. I'm amazed Nitro does such a good job compared to V8.
- Ray Cromwell
I tried it out two days ago at home and it completely broke FriendFeed for me. I went back to 3.0 and the problems persisted. I had to re-install 3.0 to get it working right. Ugh.
- Kevin Fox
I just upgraded. So far it's really snappy. I had no problems with FF (yay!).
- Cyrus Lendvay
Upgrade? Speedy. Browser itself? Not so much (not at all in the same ballpark as Safari 4 or Chrome). For static pages, it's fine, but for complex apps, it's still sluggish.
- Joel Webber
Joel: maybe it is my laptop, but I can't stand Safari 4. Even loading that initial fancy 3D recent pages screen takes forever. I know everyone says it's fast, but I just don't experience it that way. Can't wait for the final version of Chrome for the Mac.
- Bret Taylor
Just upgraded. Fastest 3.x version from what I've seen so far.
- Burcu Dogan
You can disable the Saf4 'top sites' stuff. It's laggy to render, I agree, an un-needed gimmick. I prefer Chrome's top-sites. FF is still the top browser as far as extensions and developer friendlyness go, but I think they long ago lost the speed war to WebKit based browsers, especially on mobile platforms. All of that developer friendliness, XUL-goodness, etc adds bloat to the UI layer.
- Ray Cromwell
Plus, I'm really peeved that they decided to ship with a nasty regression to Event.relatedTarget (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu...) that we told them about some time ago :(
- Joel Webber
@Bret: I'm with you on that -- I hate the top-sites page (I've been too lazy to disable it, but still). They also moved the tabs back to the bottom at the last minute, which blows. But my biggest complaint about Safari 4 is that they seem to have added the --now_with_more_bloody_beachballing build flag. I also happily await a fully-baked Chrome-on-Mac.

no omnibox -> firefox only second choice
- Chris Hofmann
The new Firebug1.4 that goes with firefox3.5 seems like a step backwards: there is no way to turn it on only for specific tabs and not others, and if I have gmail open then turning on firebug for any tab quickly brings firefox3.5 to it's knees (I'm on linux).
- Evan Parker
this one is really great... but did they have to break Tab Mix Plus?? :)
- Tim Hoeck
Bret - I just downloaded it, based on your post, and WOW you're right it ROCKS :) thanks!

Will it restart my current windows after the upgrade? Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't and I don't want to lose my 26 windows.

- Gregor J. Rothfuss
@rothfuss: I installed Chrome 2 for linux about a month ago and it wasn't quite ready, installed chrome 3 just now and it appears to be a bit more fleshed out. We'll see if it is good enough to replace FF3 for me. How is the js debugger?
- Evan Parker
Thanks, John! I forgot about the dev build.
- Tim Hoeck
Tim: you probably don't need Tab Mix Plus any more. In FF 3.5, you can drag tabs among windows (and into new windows) and doing so doesn't even reload the page any more.

Friendfeed Management Team: Noticed their slow yet steady pace of product enhancements. Only once did they do a large revamp, this tool is slowly being evolved. What are they doing?

Doing things and talking about them, or worse, talking about the process used to talk about them, are (surprisingly to some) not in the same order of magnitude of productivity. Big companies like to make the assumption that talking is the ONLY way to do things. Excellent small teams operate like "expert brains" that just get stuff done. Bravo to "just get it done"!
- Michael Herf
Kevin, you blog, but my point was you don't blog every new feature. Often you just launch features and let people gradually discover them. Maybe I just missed a few blog posts or something, but that's been my observation.
- Jesse Stay
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, either - I think it's smart.
- Jesse Stay
My only concern when I hear the Agile, Rapid, SCRUM or the "Just get it done" methodology mentioned is the fact that some developers who use those methods don't use them correctly. Without proper testing and documentation, developmental work is just looking to fail. I hear plenty of developers use the words but not understand the correct method. Beta testing is NOT the work of the demographic you are marketing to, and upgrades are no laughing matter if you don't know what you could be breaking or changing.
- Kathleen Forden
I just checked and you can still monitor updates by viewing their changelog which is still live at http://changelog.friendfeed.com/ although it may not be updating.
- Mark Krynsky
This I mentioned during our video at Plaxo. It's like being a frog in boiling water.
- Louis Gray
Louis, you act like we're all dying here ;-)
- Jesse Stay
good observation! combined with the rockbottom stability; very fast solving of bugs I conclude that the development process must be top-notch. Otherwise this incremental releasing of new features would be much more difficult. No suprise if you know that Paul and some other Friendfeeders previously have developed Google mail and Google maps; Google mail now having more than 100' mailboxes (must be very solid architecture and very scalable as well)
- Jeroen De Miranda
Releasing things frequently increases quality independent of any testing simply because things get *really* tested (by real users) and fixed at a much faster rate. Weekly code pushes sound more stable, but they require an order of magnitude more testing inherently, because when you find a bug, you can't push out a fix for seven days.

Tibor, I've been saying this on the FriendFeed Feedback Room thread a few times, would be invaluable, except I'd do it as a avatar-list-select deal similar to the way you can mass-subscribe to your Twitter followers already on FF. See http://friendfeed.com/friendf...

Would mass follow abilities make Friend Feed more susceptible to spamers though? I am not sure of the answer to this. I would like the bigger follow capability like twitter. I also like the more sincere follows here on Friend Feed that come from group interaction.

- Shawn Hickman
Robert: I actually disagree. In fact FriendFeed can be an excellent spam filter for Twitter. Twitter's lack of Folders really is a major weakness where in FF we can better classify the follows in regards to Signal vs Noise (or Ham/Spam if you will).

How does spam control differ between Twitter and FF? Speaking of spam, how to control (if at all) abuse or over use of the Building 43 FF stream? The more subscribers the group gets, the more chance people will want to pitch their schtick on the stream, particularly if it shows up on building43.com's frontpage...
- Andrew Eglinton
good point Andrew; I guess in the case of the building43 group it might be to leave the group ;-) - that still leaves a functioning FriendFeed to you; on twitter the experience is getting really bad....
- Jeroen De Miranda
Agreed, Twitter is a giant link/spam farm. Will FriendFeed's converation/humanist function be enough to save it from going the Twitter route? Or does any communication platform that goes 'mainstream' run the risk of becoming a spam centre?
- Andrew Eglinton
worrying is also address spam - i.e. spamming on my twitter address. with increasing number of people that I follow, I increasingly rely on the search on my own name; spam might make that impossible in the future. I guess some 3rd party addon might come to the rescue....

I like how Jay refers to the Atlassian products as 'lustful' (I totally agree)

I love Altassian, especially JIRA. Best trouble ticketing system out there, IMO.

We used some products too, really good impression of modularity and customizability.

It's cool to see Atlassian following Axosoft's lead: http://bit.ly/Ttrx and http://bit.ly/mUFvV - We wish them success to raise money for a great cause.

Interesting stuff; btw great presentation of Jay!

Working on an article about FriendFeed for the Dutch edition of Lifehacker. I'm already working on collecting articles about it on Delicious, but more suggestions for articles about the pro's & contra's of FriendFeed are welcome.

Hoi Toon, goed idee! Langzamerhand wordt FriendFeed ook in Nederland wat populairder. In deze post http://www.jeroendemiranda.com/friendf... laat ik zien hoe Krispijn Beek van MinEZ, Samuel Driessen (OCE) en ikzelf al sinds januari informatie verzamelen over Open Innovation (innovatie 2.0): http://friendfeed.com/innovat... .Nu 39 leden. Gebruik dit gerust in je artikel als je wilt!

Helloo Toon,

Hello Toon, te snel op enter gedrukt... Ik zou in je artikel even uitleggen hoe je met FF start. Dat vinden heel wat mensen lastig (waaronder ikzelf). Maar als je het eenmaal gebruikt is het fantastisch.
- Samuel Driessen
Mensen, ik ben te snel... Sorry dat ik 'Toon' schreef, het moet 'Ton' zijn.
- Samuel Driessen
klopt, het is wat lastig om het te leren, wellicht ook goed om te laten zien dat allerlei tekortkomingen van Twitter door FriendFeed effectief zijn opgelost. Robert Scoble laat genoeg voorbeelden zien.

Was niet mijn idee overigens, Samuel & Jeroen, maar van Frank Meeuwsen. Hij wilde wel 'ns begrijpen wat ik er nou zo fascinerend aan vond. Wat ik precies ga vertellen in m'n artikel weet ik nog niet, maar ik ga in ieder geval proberen te belichten wat de voordelen van de service zijn, hoe je 't kan gebruiken voor diverse doeleinden ook. Daarnaast moet 't ook betrekking hebben op...

Ik heb op http://www.tobiasverhoog.com/2009-04... ten tijde van de laatste beta een blogpost geschreven met voordelen en voorberlden. Ben benieuwd naar het artikel. Hopelijk krijgt het FF mede een beetje op gang hier.

Google Code Blog: Introducing the Virtual Keyboard API - http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009...

"Inability to input text in native language has been a problem for many non-latin script based languages. This may happen for many reasons. Sometimes, users do not have the keyboard layout for their native language installed in the system they happen to be using (for example, a tourist using an internet cafe in a foreign country). Sometimes, such a keyboard layout is not well developed or not widely available. It is worse for web developers because there is no way they can ensure that their users have access to this very basic input technology. To address this issue, today, we added Virtual Keyboard API into the Google AJAX Language API. With this API, developers can help their users to input text, regardless if they have the native keyboard layout installed in their Operating Systems or not. " -Manish Bhargava and Frank Tang

quite helpful in many European countries -e.g. when working in Germany on a notebook with US keyboard; when writing in German

Can anyone recommend a plug-in or other easy way to add meta tags to a Wordpress post on a post by post basis? For instance, I'd like to add some Facebook share meta tags to some of my posts or pages, and I want to customize them on an individual basis.
Kol Tregaskes liked this
The Thesis theme makes this easy, but I don't know of any plugins that do this.
- Cecily
I ended up using custom fields to add the meta and link tags specified by Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/share_p... However, Facebook is just ignoring them. Rather frustrating, as I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do to get the share preview working properly in Facebook.

Thesis enables entering meta data; works just fine!

Krispijn, mooie plaats om te werven voor 'community of talents'! (P.S. heb dit commentaar toegevoegd in de FriendFeed widget op Mijn Pagina op http://ambtenaar20.ning.com/profile... )
- Jeroen De Miranda
just copy & pasted a Friendfeed group on 'Innovation 2.0' in my homepage on 'Civil Servant 2.0' http://ambtenaar20.ning.com/profile... (scroll 3 pages down) - nice example of the web 2010 vision! 'Innovatie 2.0' is an initiative started by some civil servants of the Department of Economic Affairs, using LinkedIn groups.

Is dit een voorbeeld voor het Innovatie 2.0: Community of talents evenement op 1 juli?
- krispijn Beek
ja we kunnen inspiratie halen voor Innovatie 2.0 uit de open source software communities. Erg mooi voorbeeld vind ik de beweging rond WordPress, een erg innovatief business model gebaseerd onder meer op het GPL licentiemodel.
