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.

Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?

this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.

Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!

@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

Cool! Beats the heck out of #followfriday!!
- Larry Hawes
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.

- 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?

FF only works as a feed reader if you like "river of news". If you don't, then it isn't good enough.

I will not follow you on that one. A think both have very different missions. GReader really is a tools while FF is also a communication device

With out google reader or twitter, FF would not be what it is today. Remember it's a big circle jerk. I do not see FF killing google reader nor twitter any time soon.

- Tim Hoeck
FF certainly doesn't have enough people talking about every single topic I subscribe to. I'm glad you guys aren't preachers at a church, the end of the world would have supposedly been last week.
- Shawn Farner
For me, Google Reader is an even more essential part than Twitter of my FriendFeed experience. So ... as said before... FriendFeed will _not_ kill Google Reader or Twitter, etc. What is happening, however, is that often, the items in Google Reader are arriving after I've already read them via FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
These things always go on through June. Then we have the killing. Or something like that.
- Michael Markman
Eric Sausse, you have a good point, you cannot add just a feed in Friendfeed, they first need to be registered there and added their feed. But FF could add that very easily, adding feeds from people who are not in FF. Then it would put pressure on them to finally jump into the bandwagon
- Loic Le Meur
I agree with Louis & others - GR feeds FF for me.
- R. Ferguson
You can "just add" a feed in FF -- check out the imaginary friends feature
- Brian Sullivan
FF lets you publish your *filtered* google reader shared items, together with other stuff, to make an impression of you and your interests. That's how I see FF: almost a snapshot of a personality. For me GReader is a tool that you can use to filter items into your FF.
- IanBlackburnold
Brian Sullivan, thanks I was wondering the imaginary friend thing! now I know. Here we go, no need for Google Reader anymore...
- Loic Le Meur
yeah, I wont use FF for all of my feeds, I am subscribe to way too many and have already my routine with it. FF is more of a discovery + conversation experience for me
- Gilbert Corrales
from twhirl
Ian, right: I don't want people to form an impression of me based on my subscriptions to D:Listed, TMZ, The Superficial, and Perez Hilton, unless they are really really important, then I'll share the story. And now I've tipped my hand. But anyway: there's a community for feed discovery already: Tuluu. GReader + FF is about what's interesting from the feeds.
- Mark Trapp
I'm with the GReader feeding FF crowd on this one. I use GReader to get the news I want and FF to share it and create conversation. FF is a great discovery tool but I still read a ton of stuff in my feeds before it appears on FF. The UI is set up better for conversation rather than just information digesting IMO.
- Devlin Dunsmore
@devlin I agree... i'm finding it very hard to read pages and pages of link/comments on FF.
- Gaurav Sikka
I hope FriendFeed doesn't kill Google Reader. I find them both vital but I couldn't substitute one for the other.
- Kevin Fox
Again, this isn't going to happen. Services don't always have to exist just to kill other services. Especially ones that do different things
- MG Siegler
its funny season on t'internets
- Jamie
FriendFeed adds much value for me, but the only thing it's killing is time and maybe Scoble's marriage. I wish Loic would work on something more productive like getting Apple to make Seesmic videos work on the iPhone!:-)
- Robert Seidman
We like having a choice for everything we do, but on the other hand, we expect (and sometimes hope) one choice to kill another. No wonder the world can't live in peace all together ;)

I never liked Google Reader's UI, but I feel right at home with FriendFeed.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
So true, but time flies too fast when im on friendfeed, i cant stop reading and sending messages! Great conversations though!
- Scott Purdie
going to have to disagree ... couldn't possibly get through all my feeds via FF - just too many for the FF interface
- timepilot
Google Reader is a feed reader, FriendFeed is a feed generator. Sorry, they serve completely different purposes (at least to me). No killing here.
- dgw
friendfeed doesn't allow me to categorize sources, nor can I tag or flag specific feed items in a way that makes it easy for me to refer back to later. for al the hype about friend feed being where the "conversation", it seems like a really poor utility for that. I see that on this blog post alone, the "conversation" is distributed across friendfeed through google shared reader posts, twitter references, disquss comments. The techcrunch "Twitter" post is even a better example. fractured conversation.
- bernie
agreed FF no replacement for reader
- ben rogers
from twhirl
When will folks realize FF is something NEW? IT isnt goign to kill much of the other stuff.
- Soulhuntre
from twhirl
would love keyboard shortcuts for FF too
- Loic Le Meur
FF is useful as a human filter on the old echo chamber of tech but could never replace a feed reader. gReader shared items into FF is part of the signal for me, but, not a replacement. Much like RSSMeme and it's FF filter. And then there's the twisty bit where I read FF via a feed readier in the first place ...
- Ashton
I'm still new to FF, but I like the search function that Google provides to even the oldest of the feeds. Not sure I would want the number of feeds I subscribe to coming through to FF. I like the combination of posts and conversation along with a few updates from other services like flickr or Digg. I think the 'conversation' would be seriously degraded with the addition of a number of RSS feeds. I would need to see how well FF handles growth before moving from Google Reader.

Works in single post and stream modes. Tested on Firefox and Safari.

I started the group ffhacks to house a concise listing of user scripts: http://friendfeed.com/ffhacks . If you have a script that works on the current version of FriendFeed, and you're its author, write a comment on http://friendfeed.com/ffhacks... with the link and I'll share the original friendfeed post to the group.

Does it only work to other users with the script enabled?

The anchor is the comment <div> container id which has been there all along; there simply has not been a user interface to conveniently access it. So yes, a URL with the anchor will work for anyone regardless of script usage (tested in Firefox & Safari).

- Micah
#hashanchors should have been there by default, so that you could spend your time on more creative things rather than fixing FF. In fact, absence of this key element of hypertext, granular addressability, tells me that FFeeders really do not care for comments - they're ffodder to the OPs, which are the only ones that rank anything in the hierarchy of submissions around here. I don't...

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages?
- Mark Trapp
Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed.

- Mark Trapp
Nice progress here with this release!
- Micah

- friday night
Why is wget questionable?
- Gabe
Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle.

im getting my android apps from the amazon marketplace already, and they took my credit card to give me my "free" angry birds rio, very clever

Kindle platform vs iBooks?
- Tim Jones
the amazon marketplace is amazon's

Except perhaps for Buzz. ;-)

4sq is more mainstream than Latitude. Im seeing 4sq deals in Sugar Land, TX which is a suburb in Houston
- Kashif Khan
latitude keeps turning itself off with every google maps update on android
- Kevin Marks
Latitude regularly sends me reminder emails that it's on -- unlikely I'll forget.

google navigation is probably hugely used

Google navigation is big. thats one of the highlights of an android device

- Jerome Hughes
good that google is thinking long term?
- Tim Jones
surface
- Jerome Hughes
microsoft still most profitable of all tech companies
- Tim Jones
Tim: I like that about Google. But Microsoft has TONS of R&D too (which led to surface and Kinect)
- Robert Scoble
Kinect was acquired, no?
- Ian McGee
Ian: the hardware was licensed from a startup in Israel.
- Robert Scoble
(But agree in general; R&D is good)
- Ian McGee
But they were already doing lots of work on new input methods.
- Robert Scoble
& IBM does more basic research by far for this reason, hence Watson
- Jerome Hughes
Amazingly MS left Kinect open -- that's driving lots of activity. Witness implementation of Google April fools joke
- Ian McGee
Ian agreed.
- Robert Scoble
MSFT getting smarter about open source
- Kevin Marks
Apple's sterile, totalitarianism gives me the scary chill vs more fun, woolly, throw it in the wall and see what's sticks approach
- Tim Jones
for old folks, it's a fashion, for young folks, games are life
- Jerome Hughes
It's not about playinggames
- Ian McGee
Think of it more as improved feedback, attention to user experience, corner store friendliness
- Ian McGee
andrew... fun wins!
- Jerome Hughes
the gamification approach is less attractive overall than a phatic one
- Kevin Marks
is silence in radio like white space in print?

to disrupt, an established company typically needs a skunkworks operation that can handle different business drivers as good opportunities

The envy economy
- Ian McGee
Google paid off Apple to have their search boxes in their products
- Kevin Marks
that delusion does seem to parallel MS w/ Vista, plenty on that in the Elgan "LP's first blunder" post
- Jerome Hughes
Money comes through search advertising on Android
- Keith Teare
not direct
- Keith Teare
App stores are a fringe business for both google and apple, but core for amazon
- Kevin Marks
Google gives to me for free
- Tim Jones
But Android is NOT that interesting fro developers yet. Size of units shipped not the key number. It id $ spent though app store
- Keith Teare
gCheckout for me
- Jerome Hughes
Android is new Symbian
- Keith Teare
ubiquitous but boring
- Keith Teare
Business trusts both Google and Amazon with their credit cards.
- Alex de Soto
very true, Alex
- Jerome Hughes
consumers don't care that developers are concerned about Android
- Tim Jones
Andrew, it tells you validated information vs. possible trolls
- Jerome Hughes
and Elgan points out that they have plenty of building blocks that need an integration that's a party
- Jerome Hughes
Aardvark is still asking questions, but at much lower rate.
- Ian McGee
sustaining innovation in search vs. an integrated solution that could disrupt search
- Jerome Hughes
Goog hired Ed Chi to inject social scents into search http://rww.to/hY9AYg
- clive boulton
"we can't do that because it would disrupt the cash cow, and our current customers say they don't want it"
- Jerome Hughes
yyyyyeeeeeeesssss!!!!!
- Robert Scoble
google doesn't tend to worry about disrupting the cash cow
- Kevin Marks
<== routed trucks by shuffling 96 column cards on a table like the one on which your iMac sits, Robert
- Jerome Hughes
"we can't do that because it would disrupt the cash cow, and our current customers say they don't want it", and still we continue to make most money in tech -Microsoft
- Tim Jones
Tim: I've seen lots of companies that used to be market leaders and used to make a lot of money who are gone now.
- Robert Scoble
Microsoft will just take longer to fall because people hate change but the change is afoot!
- Robert Scoble
whatever Microsoft is doing continues to work
- Tim Jones
after years and years of MS bashing
- Tim Jones
Tim: absolutely false. If it was working the stock price would go up.
- Robert Scoble
or they'll do other things that matter in skunkworks operations, possibly, if they can resist squashing success
- Jerome Hughes
ok ok i like the cr-48 over my xp netbook
- Tim Jones
But Googles core is search and advertising. Not that useful if you want to beat Facebook and Twitter
- Keith Teare
Going back to the core won't help
- Keith Teare
But better than professional execs
- Keith Teare
"professional"
- Keith Teare
Enron's stock price was also going up at one time
- Tim Jones
better to innovate in a skunkworks
- Jerome Hughes
or many
- Jerome Hughes
Page and Ballmer should swap , lets see what happens
- clive boulton
need to make everyone a skunkworks. challenge is collaborating
- Kevin Marks
Skunkworks has the advantage of being able to ignore existing customers & revenue streams
- Ian McGee
Google should focus on how to better index social, not on creating a better social.
- Alex de Soto
so they can compete with what they might eventually subsume
- Jerome Hughes
/nod Jerome
- Ian McGee
skunkworks was the way Google Wave was developed, outside of the USA.... did not work out...
- Jeroen De Miranda
it only works if tested by a market, etc.
- Jerome Hughes
and even then, not only
- Jerome Hughes
Wave was great !!! but none of my friends were on it. The concept of invite only killed it imo
- Kashif Khan
oops, "only" = "
- Jerome Hughes
they stopped doing Wave or stopped doing LSD?
- dlature
"always"
- Jerome Hughes
Levy's next book should be on the impact of LSD on the software industry
- Ian McGee
were they perhaps not allowed to? that's what usually takes down the disruptors in the skunkworks
- Jerome Hughes
As a CS student at that time, it would have been perfect for our software projects and classes

cycling 50m riding two trains vs. driving 2 hours to & fro said BF = more fun & costs less
- Jerome Hughes
cliveb: because time wasters buy more beer than productive people. :-)

And yes, a whole company around UI. That is what APple's doing

Or maybe it's UX. At bottom, that's what all companies are built around

the browser doesn't work on the TV

I thought the PS3 had a browser that worked pretty well.

i'm not even convinced apps will
- Jamie
I have a PS3 and browsing on it is just terrible Jim. control pad as an input device really isn't ideal
- Jamie
ffs, everyone send your good health vibes to Borthwick.
- coldbrew
really wish I could browse on my iPad and flick to the tv
- Jim Posner
The Apple iOS device platform is also very adaptable or extendable. Medical devices, sensors, etc. will easily hook up. I'm sure Android and MS will move in that direction.
- Alex de Soto
the Quick Bar

i agree Robert....hate it

Hate that part of the new Twitter app too. They did add some interesting features though. You can turn "Ignore local trends" in the settings and turn off pinstripes, whatever that is.
- Alex de Soto
I was happily using the official Twitter client until this update and I'm sure that myself and others will now explore all the 3rd party alternatives again....not good for them.
- Mark Krynsky
Hillary says VoA should become more like AJE. Wonder if the US could produce a credible network.

Hey! I just turned off pinstripes and local trends and the little black bar went away!
- Alex de Soto
The spice must flow.
- coldbrew
Time to check out Seesmic or Echofon (easier than petitions)
- clive boulton
Interesting Alex...I turned off local trends yesterday but it had no effect. Pinstripes I didn't try but will now.
- Mark Krynsky
Oh no! The little black bar didn't really go away. :( Sorry Mark
- Alex de Soto
local trends are an optional setting.
- Mark Krynsky
Do the deal sites have twitter feeds with substance?
- coldbrew
Mine doesn't have it, guess I haven't updated yet
- Stephen Pickering
pinstripes
- Aron Michalski
it doesn't remove it, just make the annoyance local :)
- Naor Mark
Yep! Sorry. I thought I'd give it a shot.
- Alex de Soto
No Alex...those settings do not kill the bar...
- Mark Krynsky
PER device.
- Aron Michalski
it makes the annoyance less local
- Kevin Marks
People that pay more than $55/ device for 3g are lost.

Funny. We're using Nexus One on AT&T and it's anything but a brick. In fact, I'm not sure I've even noticed that 3G isn't available. I previously had another Android phone from Rogers that supported 3G on AT&T, and they are virtually identical in performance.
- Ward Mundy
There is lots of analysis saying the google phone web site is the true game changer and not the phone. Anyone agree?
- Jim Posner
Jim, I agree to an extent. Unbundling the phone/carrier is the game changer. no question.
- Karoli
Jim, I think that is the sleeper hit for the first quarter. Instead of the arm-twisting that Apple had to do with AT&T to get the network behavour they needed, Google is now going to make it so that the US carriers *have* to change or be left behind as niche phone vendors
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Apple is a consumer hardware company that invested heavily in the OS to help drive the consumer experience - that's a lot different than the Microsoft and Google focus. They all approach consumers from different starting perspectives.

As a first generation phone the Nexus One is as equally impressive as the first gen iPhone.

TMobile is an excellent data carrier but yes, if you live in the boonies you may have issues

Instead of coverage talk about customer service, etc. Things that are not geo-specific.
- Chaim Krause
The days of coverage being local are long past. To be competitive, coverage needs to be there, coordinated across regions.
- Karoli
Exactly why it's good that a lot of the apps on the iPhone can be used without the cloud.

- Ken Sheppardson

- Ken Sheppardson

- Susan Beebe
Ken, carriers need to become seamless. I choose my carrier based on carrier, not based on handset.
- Karoli
Bye Steve, thanks for a great show.
- Karoli
Which do/did you chose first, Karoli: carrier or handset?
- Ken Sheppardson
it's always been handset choice for me - but then again I change phones in 2-3 year cycles so i'm never locked into a contract when I decide to move.
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I think the typical smartphone decision process these days goes (1) Do I object to iPhone for some philosophical reason or do I so hate AT&T so as to not buy one? (2) if so, which carrier am I on now, (3) what's the best phone on that carrier.
- Ken Sheppardson
that was a 2009 era decision tree - I think the availability of android phones on all of the carriers will now change that for 2010. (or at least I hope it will)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
with android, there are choices. alot of people like a keyboard
- Tim Jones
There'll be a point where mechancial keyboards are completely replaced with virtual keyboards. (the physical keyboard becomes an object of nostalgia)

You CAN remove yourself from lists. @mathewi just block the person who made the offensive list. @stevegillmor and I have tested it out.

That's a rather crappy solution. What if my mom puts me on a list that's "people who are just precious" and I decide that's embarrassing professionally? Now I have to call her to coax her into delisting me when she gets time. Or I can block my mom. Both solutions are kinda lame. Oh well, hopefully Twitter will add more nuanced solutions to this problem soon.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
i thought twitter lists were like rooms here on friendfeed, but i guess it's more of a myfollowfriday type (hype?)...maybe they can tick lists as private by default, then users can make it public later...for now...i'm using lists as rooms like friendfeed
- brainno722 (Peter)
Daniel: That does seem kinda crappy, doesn't it. However, the block/unblock has worked for me in this manner before. If somebody is following you, and you don't want them to, you can block then unblock them, and then they're no longer following you. Of course, you're not following them anymore, so you can then refollow them. I expect that lists might work the same way. When you block...

Chris, I hear you on 1Password. I do wish there had been a smoother transition regarding the 64-bit issue. I upgraded my keychain but my data wouldn't convert properly, so I downgraded off the beta and have to run Safari in 32-bit mode. But it's still a great app.
- Micah
I have all three browsers open every day as part of my work, but Chrome is the one I like the best. Safari's quality is pretty high, but it has some weird quirks like the developer tools not allowing you to inspect off-domain iframes and auto-unzipping downloaded .zip files (horrible feature for trying to update your Android ROM). Chrome also got me used to tabs on top, something I couldn't go back on now.

SocialToo Launches Anti-Virus Solution for Twitter - http://blog.socialtoo.com/2009...

"It’s time we put an end to worms and viruses on Twitter. You wouldn’t want to be on a PC without anti-virus protection. Why would you be on Twitter without SocialToo? Consider SocialToo your vaccine for the Social Web." #iamanadvisor

Why would you need an anti-virus for twitter? I mean, no offense, but if your antivirus can't secure your browser, you probably have bigger worries than twitter.
- Joel Bennett
Joel, for the same reason millions are being infected by the current worms going around Twitter right now. The fact that it's happening means they need something to protect them - either it's getting past their anti-virus, they don't have it, or this goes far beyond what any desktop anti-virus program can fix. The fact is if they were using SocialToo right now they wouldn't be infected.
- Jesse Stay
How do we get this kind of thing exposure to those who really need it? People who are not techie?
- Eric - seven eleven
Eric, word of mouth - be sure to spread it to your friends, family, etc. We're also working to get the site in a better state for those not familiar with Twitter so it's easier to understand.
- Jesse Stay
Holden's right though - we'll also be working on our end to get the word out.
- Jesse Stay
Holden, we're still working all that out, but I was able to fix today's worms much, much faster than Twitter was. We're also working on tracking trends of keywords people add, along with the DMs people block and mark as spam. All that will add up to enabling us to identify the malicious DMs and stopping them before most people see them.
- Jesse Stay
Regarding price, we're still talking about that - November 1st the new premium plan will go in place that will include anti-virus. I'm not sure what it will cost yet - we'll notify everyone before that happens though and give them the chance to opt-in. I'm still not sure, but my thoughts are that the DM e-mails and reporting will still be free and the automated anti-virus launched today...
more...
- Jesse Stay
Call me myopic, but I still say this is like buying a new AV "just for email". My bet is those "millions" of infected users weren't protected (at all), and the real story is much bigger than protecting people from clicking bad twitter links.
- Joel Bennett
Joel the other advantage this gives you is you never receive the infected DMs. This sits right on top of your Social Networks and scans them before you even receive them. I know of no anti-virus product that does that.
- Jesse Stay
Holden *currently* just Twitter. I'd like to cover other networks too though. I have a few ideas.
- Jesse Stay
Wait, so ... they have to use a specific twitter client for this to work?
- Joel Bennett
Joel, SocialToo managing your DMs sits in between Twitter and your e-mail or Twitter DM box, period. It doesn't matter what client you prefer, it zaps offending keyword strings that are associated with spam or phishing.
- Louis Gray
Oh, so they're checking the DMs all the time and have permission to delete them?
- Joel Bennett
Congratulations on the launch, Jesse! That'd be cool for many people I guess. But, but... I'm running Linux ALL the time :/ Most of worms won't harm me, let alone that I wrote my firewall and know what happens in my machine :)
- directeur
Holden, that's the marketers job. Jesse, me, and other devs all arround the planet code to solve problems, and bring new ideas, marketers sell it :)
- directeur
Directeur unfortunately when you only have your own software development skills to market your product you have to let your code do the marketing. Enable as many ways as possible for users to tell their friends. That and 2 great marketing experts as advisors really helps as well. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Directeur, regarding Linux - I run a Mac - that doesn't mean I'm not exposed. These worms are spread by people clicking a link, thinking they're on Twitter or some other familiar site, giving their credentials, and boom, it spreads to more users.
- Jesse Stay
If I ever get time I'd like to write a book on marketing for coders. There are ways of expression and promotion with code that I don't think many developers know they have access to.
- Jesse Stay
Agreed, Jesse! :) I run my own business actually and these truths come to bite me everytime I have to pay a bill. All of the work I talk here on FriendFeed is for fun only, I don't care for marketing that much, because I have nothing to sell, but I actually need it to make the fun spread, so marketing is inevitable. Anyway... congrats again! Wishing you good luck! :)
- directeur
Thanks Directeur - I appreciate it!
- Jesse Stay
Make it very obvious what this feature is. It wasn't easy for me to find. It should be a big red button that says TURN ON TWITTER ANTI-VIRUS. (Just a suggestion)
- Eric - seven eleven
Thanks Eric - that will be much more obvious as we adapt the user experience shortly. I agree - it's not very straightforward at the moment.
- Jesse Stay
@ChrisSaad true but I also don't have to give those comments any distribution. On FriendFeed I can even delete and block.
maxilprof and Jeroen De Miranda liked this
I don't see how you are providing distribution. The display is happening in an application attached to the browser. You are saying that because your writing causes me to have a thought you then own that thought. If I want to use a Google product to store and display that thought that is MY right not yours.
- Martin Johnson
It is no longer "go where your customers are", but rather "bring the location of your customers back to you"
Johni Fisher, Jeremiah Owyang, Jeroen De Miranda and 2 other people liked this
or is it more like "stalk your customers wherever they are"? ;)
- Kate
Not yet.
- Louis Gray
Kate, no, it's let your customers come to you, but use the environments they're familiar with to participate right on your own brand. Check out my latest blog post for a good explanation of what I'm referring to. It's a merging of the old and new marketing - I think we're entering an even newer era of marketing.

Gillmor Gang w/ Facebook's Bret Taylor on Tornado rerunning today 1PM Pacific http://www.building43.com/realtim...

Wondering about hosting for Tornado, Bret Taylor says you might need your own box. If only there were a hosting co. that focused on the real-time web.
- Cliff Gerrish
Bret said you could use EC2, but you will need more than the cgi access most PHP hosts give you - effectively need to run as root to have the python process listening on port 80.
- Kevin Marks
It's interesting to see a framework (Tornado) that takes the changed landscape of internet identity into account - bundles of identities.
- Cliff Gerrish
Well, it could do more there - talking with Bret they don't actually bind them themselves, but by building in support for multiple versions that is useful
- Kevin Marks
Seems like it's the first step in that direction. Now that Tornado has been open sourced, there's a path.
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff: EC2 is nice, but expensive for a sandbox ($72 / month). Rackspace Cloud has 256 meg virtual servers that are about $11 / month. Great deal if you ask me. I had Tornado running in about 30 seconds on my RC VPS. The ability to programmatically clone servers with their API makes it a really nice place to launch something like a Tornado async app which could makes use of many low cost, low powered servers for dedicated connections.
- Derek Gathright
Derek: thanks for the tip.

Yes, thank you, Derek!
