There was actually an app like this called Spoof I believe for jailbroken iPhones that would let you do this, but charged for it via packs of pre-paid minutes. You could also spoof your number at the same time. Clearly will not work with the current SDK.
- Josh
love it. will have to look into whether the SDK will allow this or if the phone is totally sandboxed from apps.
- doc brody
I'll save you the trouble: sandboxed. It conflicts with the PHONE part of the app, not something they're gonna have anyone mess with. Especially as this one could be used ... to kill someone ;)

Scheduled Screenshots: Does anyone know of or use a service that automatically takes a screenshot of a specific URL on a set schedule and saves it in the cloud? I'm looking for something to do this and then automatically email the screenshot from the service into my Evernote account. Ideas?

if you use Firefox, get iMacros and you can set whatever you like up: screenshots, emailing, etc
- Vin Turk
Which OS? You can take screenshots (and create evernote notes) with applescript
- Brett Kelly
Brett: Thanks for the suggestion (I'm on a Mac). That would work if my computer was powered up and was online but if I wanted a screenshot taken of site XYZ everyday at 1PM for example, there could be times when my computer wasn't on. Ideally it would be a third party web app that would take the screenshots and automatically email them to me or allow me to download later.

Have you added the FriendFeed widget to your blog yet? If not, why not? http://friendfeed.com/embed

if we could embed our entire friendfeed page onto our site & have one click signup for non-friendfeed members. That would be superb.

Paul - because WordPress templates frighten me.
- Patrick Lightbody
Paul - did you fix the word wrap issue for comments? e.g. on my blog comments cascade across the column into the right margin - http://blog.infinitelymeta.com/reef-ta... not a big deal at all. just wondering. great work on the beta btw.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
you know what Paul - ignore what I said....apart from letting people sign up directly via the widget. Then my friends/family who aren't on friendfeed can comment directly plus you get a whole bunch of new 'non-techy' members.
- Zee.
Does WP allow iframes?
- Paul Buchheit
I tried a couple of times to get it to work, but even with setting the width, the comments still sprawled outside the border of the widget and looked ugly.

Still using the original script on the front page, but did add 'Share on FriendFeed' to the Blogger post template today. Awesome.
- MLx
i haven't because i'm trying to figure out where to put it on my blog.
- Morgan
Not sure Paul. I'm using Chris Pirillo's Social Media theme. Not a WP guru myself. Willing to test though.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
FYI: Adding the widgets (other than the "Share on FriendFeed" link) to self-hosted WordPress requires zero knowledge of WordPress templates. You login to WordPress, click on "Design", then "Widgets", and add a "text" widget and paste in the code.
- Benjamin Golub
No because my blog sidebar is too narrow and changing the widget width cuts the text off mid-line. May redesign my blog one day when I'm bored.

I did, before Godaddy lost the location of my blog they host and I can't get it back :(

can you remove the border from the widget? And is there a way to make the background of the widget transparent?

I did it. I would like some CSS options right in the widget editor--colors, fonts, etc. :D

Used it as an experiment in the 'blog that posted itself' recently. Great. Now I'd like to use it in sidebar as widget. Can't change text size tho'. Too big.
- Kate Foy
Ditto Loic - but switched to the newer wider one. Would love to be able to do like 7 or 8 in instead of 5 OR 10. Try to keep the stream clean there for others. Think 7 would be perfect but one size doesn't fit all :)
- Charlie Anzman
you can do different numbers, just change the num= variable. I use num=12

@Peter thank you!

I don't feel like my friendfeed content meshes very well with my blog. I enjoy friendfeed quite a bit, but I don't really feel the need to try to get more people to look at my friendfeed. I did try it a couple months ago before it was really public, when I noticed it on your blog, Paul. I do use the friendfeed comment plugin. Maybe I will add a share on friendfeed button.
- Robert Felty
Nope - hosted wordpress.com doesn't allow widgets
- Hutch Carpenter
Absolutely, I've had the widget on the blog for about a month. KnowtheNetwork.com
- Keith - @tsudo
nope, because I made my own version ;)
- Pascal
I did install it but I don't really like its size. I'd like something narrower and with a smaller font. I don't know if this is something I can fix with CSS magic, but that's not my thing.
- Robert Konigsberg
From my point of view: How exactly would it help the readers of Blogoscoped? What's the problem it would solve? Not everything I say on Friendfeed is relevant to the content of Blogoscoped. Now, give me a widget that I can customize to make it be relevant just to a single specific blog post and I will give it a try perhaps... an RSS feed for "comments on URL xyz" (where I can make xyz be a Blogoscoped permalink of a new post) would be interesting :)

- Ryan Stanley
Just added it to www.woodysworld.tv under What's the Word. Carries my Twitter, Flickr, Youtube and Pandora. Customized CSS. I'll be changing title to "My Friend Feed"
- Jim W
When will the fact that the comments do not wrap when using the widget on my site be corrected? Please update us. :)
- Dennis Metzcher
Dennis: that is by design so that long comments don't cause the widget to be super long in narrow places. You can make comments wrap with this CSS: .friendfeed.widget .feed .entry .comment { white-space: normal !important; }
- Benjamin Golub
Yes, but I just moved it to the sidebar (it was on the bottom, because the comments weren't wrapping). I am not fond of the background color, and I don't know what to do with the CSS. http://miniaturemage.blogspot.com
- MiniMage, enterRUPPted
when i use the css to wrap comments, at the beginning of each line of the comment there displays a different 'comment' symbol. very weird.
- Patrick
I've just learnt of this today and already adapted it to my Google Blogger, but I find I can't embed it on wordpress.com blog. Pity. It's something that would greatly add to blogs.
- George Hall (Australia)
Hi George: you should be able to embed the image versions of our widgets on your wordpress.com blog. Just pick "Image" as the format.

I agree that these cookies are like crack. They are the shiznit for sure. They are the only cookie I don't like with milk because the cold milk makes the frosting all weird and hard and waxy like.
