"Today we are launching version 2 of the FriendFeed API for beta testing. We focused on making the API simpler to use, and we added number of compelling new features." Documentation: http://friendfeed.com/api...
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
nice, good to see OAuth support, this will enable a larger 3rd party ecosphere around FriendFeed, I hope
- Jeroen De Miranda
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.
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks!

Can you post the wget version of the command line?
- Gabe
Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget.
- Mark Trapp
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.
- Mark Trapp
Woowoo, bgolub's password is “passwd” ;-)

Amit: I wonder how many people tested that :)

Thanks to bgolub posting his password, I now have all of FriendFeed's secret documents about notorious users, useless metrics, Justin Timberlake's promoting FF on Oprah's show, hiring Colbert as a spokesperson, Ev Williams being just a “distraction”. TechCrunch is going to love this! ;)

- Micah
0.75 (926/1226) - still relatively new here
- mikepk
I only see my stats for the last week (17/14 = 1.21) Please tell me your 670 number is for more than just a week!
- Brian Johns
1.44 (566/391) for brianjohns (after week tally you should see a comma then 'all time' count - I can see it on your page)
- Micah
OK, sorry. I'm a total dumbass. I stopped reading after the weekly totals...
- Brian Johns
3.74, which seems way off of everybody else's. I wonder what that says. I comment a lot more than I like.
- Cyrus Lendvay

0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

- Lindsay
So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both)
- Micah
InPerpetualMotion(Gina k), I really liked this 'Like' of yours (in a series of pics, so I flickr fav'd it): http://friendfeed.com/e... and commented. Thanks!

A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology....
- David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39
- David HC Soul
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others).
- Micah
Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :)
- Micah
Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!)
- Micah
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas.
- Micah
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good!
- Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me.
- Micah
.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments.
- Bren
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it.
- Micah
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!!
- Chris Myles
Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine!
- Micah
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah
wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff)
- chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered?
- Micah
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.
- Bren
In 4 days it will be 1 year since my first recorded stat here. My comments/like were almost a 1:1 ratio then. Now comments are almost double likes for me.
- Micah
75,415 comments/1,286 likes = 58.64 - i wish the auto inserted comments didn't get counted... the true number is probably much much close ot my number of likes
- Chris Heath
1.97%. thanks again micah, this has been a great metric to measure my first year here on ff. As the year went (this being the first record of me being here that i've found): , 6.43%:1.25%:1.97%

Chris, Bren, thank you. And chaz2b, thank you too - glad it's a special marker for you. :)

63.58 (97,534/1,534) -- interesting that my last three digits are the same there, eh? (note, i already posted a month or two ago when i first saw this thread)
- Chris Heath
Last year my comments were around 7000 and likes around 2500, for a ratio of 2.80. I consciously chose to do more liking over the last year. As of today my comments number 10,782 and likes number 7,666, for a ratio of 1.41.

- Micah
Thanks, Morton. BTW, when you posted in February, it was exactly 0.13 also.
- Micah
Jenny, resistance is futile; embrace the rising tide of comments.
- Micah
Comments are more difficult and time consuming than Likes. I'd be happy about a high comment:likes ratio except that many are surely imported from feeds, while every Like is manual.

"For many, what Giacometti saw, as embodied in his work, was the loneliness of man. Carola, who was a patient and student of the psychoanalyst and cultural theorist Jacques Lacan—also a friend of the sculptor’s—demurs: “Lacan teaches us not to interpret things. You cannot interpret Giacometti’s work from a psychological or philosophical point of view without trivialising it. All these interpretations of his work as symbolising human loneliness or alienation are too simplistic, taking no account of their truly unique nature. “If Alberto’s extraordinary and indescribably complex works carry a message,” she adds, “it is about respecting the existence of things outside ourselves, a joyous message of affection and friendship. This is why his sculpture speaks to everyone.”"

Thank you so very, very much, everyone, for your thoughts, prayers & condolences. I honestly believe I have been carried this far by each and every one of them. The show's not over yet, but I have been strengthened and encouraged by you all. Thank you again, so so very much. It really means a lot.

Doctors say Mom's not responding to meds, and this morning, her condition has worsened to the point of near-catatonic non-responsiveness overall. Glad I got here in time last night to catch some of her before it got any worse. Dr also said he expects only 2-3 more days, but this could linger on for days or weeks, so we're setting up home hospice.
Thank you all so very, very much, it really helps. Mom always said she thought she could feel it when people were praying for her, and I can often feel being held safe by all your warm thoughts and wishes. She seems comfortable, at least. Quiet & sleeping. Me, I'm just trying not to lose it, but I'm allowed to for now.

I'm keeping you and your Mom in my thoughts.

Very rough situation. I hope for peace for your family.

I'm sorry to hear this. My prayers are with her. ((hugs))

As impossible (and unlikely) as it seems, according to the official record, as of 1:56 PM Central Time today, I will have been a mouth-breather for a full half-century. Quite frankly, if I'd known I was going to last this long, I might have actually come up with a plan.
Thank you so much, everyone for your wonderful birthday wishes. Haven't had much time to get back here to catch up, but wanted to at least pass along my humble, heartfelt appreciation and best wishes to all for a happy, safe and prosperous New Year!

I just hope Sarah Palin isn't in the movie.

The fact that a women's team broke the previous record is funny in the ha ha men, you suck, category, Mark. But yeah, it's way cool.

But in all fairness, it's not the main theme, but a back theme the cellos carry that pops out once and a while...which, now that I think of it, might be just a _little_ Christmassy.

Jealous! That's what we were supposed to do.

The snow has already started, from what I hear, altho the original forecast for today was near 50. Looks like this rain we're getting is moving on east. Hopefully, we won't get dumped on like last year, when Mom & I were snowed-in for a couple days!

The first time I heard this was on Andy Summers' album "The Golden Wire". He covered this very well, as it turns out! Still having a hard time stumbling across the English translation for the lyrics tho. Google just acts like it's in a Bing advert.

"The cookies in the picture were bought in an ordinary Swedish supermarket [2] on March 4, 1999. They are the actual Florentine Pogen cookies - the name is different in Swedish, the packaging is of course different from 1970s-style American packaging, but the cookies inside are the same. They are between 5 and 6 centimeters across, and only a few millimeters thin. (DAUGHTER OF A WEALTHY COOKIE? While a Florentine Pogen undeniably is a cookie, Zappa certainly wasn't using the term literally, as in daughter of a wealthy cookie. What he did mean exactly, if he meant anything more than nonsense, is not known (and will probably never be). Perhaps it is a derogatory description.)"

Just seems weird the scare-mongering media hadn't played that card yet. Maybe they were saving it for the Big Holiday Season.
