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! :)
- Matt Ruiz
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.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Lovely. Thanks guys.
- Mitchell Tsai
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?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
WOW. that's really helpful！
- K.D.
Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro.
- Louis Gray
Cool!
- Josh Haley
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 Taylor
This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
Nice addition!
- Michael Fidler
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@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!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
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)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)
- Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!
- Jim Connolly
awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :)
- Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.
- Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-)
- 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
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..
- Franc, a rememberer
That's a cool feature
- Xitong Liu
Emails no longer get sent except for Subscriptions. The last non-sub email I recieved was July 15th, 2011.

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
1.78 (8529/4782)
- Micah
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
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.

Shoot. Now I need a subscription.
- Josh Haley
I'm all for improving the format of notifications, but wonder (aloud) if it is such a smart move to include the Approve/Reject link right at the top (unless it only appears in private feeds to which someone has requested access). Right now we have the option of blocking/ rejecting a subscriber at any time but presumably not at the very outset. This may lead to more of a walled gardens' mentality, already very prevalent at FF.
- ianf ⌘
ianf: approve/reject is only for private feeds. Public feeds just have a link to subscribe back :)

Gmail automatically showed me the images in a subscription email, even though I never told it to (you know how gmail has the 'display images below' option). further, it doesn't give me the option to hide the images. not that I'd want to, but how are you bypassing gmail's security feature to hide the images?
- chrisofspades
Chris, we don't do anything special. I'm not sure how gmail decides what images to show, you'd have to contact them or check the gmail help.
- Casey Muller
Casey, you sure FriendFeed's founders didn't use some of their "we created Gmail" mojo? ;)
- chrisofspades
Chris, the "show images" only applies to external images hosted on other sites. Gmail doesn't show those by default because doing so would allow people to "bug" email. We include the images with the email so that they can be displayed immediately.
- Paul Buchheit
ahhhh that explains it. thanks Paul.

Are we?
- Kol Tregaskes
Given the summer lineup for this year, I'd say so. You have Oblivion, World War Z, Pacific Rim, After Earth and sequels to originals, rather than recycled properties, in Riddick, Despicable Me, Monsters Inc., Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Most of these are top tier, fully marketed releases, as opposed to smaller independent films, like "Moon," that get a limited release.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Moon, BTW, being one of the most underrated sci-fi movies ever...
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
I thought so, though I could see why it didn't get wide distribution. It reminds me strongly of the original science fiction from the mid-70's - a rather small film with big ideas. It isn't any of the currently fashionable space genres - splashy invasion, low tech invasion, horror,) so studios probably didn't know what to do with it.
- Jennifer Dittrich
i bought a copy of "Moon" on the strength of some production stills. :P
- Joe Silence
I loved, "Moon". Great post, thanks @Kol Tregaskes.
- Harold Cabezas
from Android
Moon was great.
- Kol Tregaskes
Can you name any other upcoming original sci-fi movies you'd recommend? Sure, there are some but I'm not seeing a great deal. Scary/horror movies seem to be the biggest genre for original movies, Sinister being a recent release and Mama. Upcoming movies include Purge, Conjuring, Apparition, Possession. etc. There are also some good sequels: Haunting in Connecticut 2, Insidious: Chapter 2, Last Exorcism Part 2.
- Kol Tregaskes
Do we think Ender's Game and Elysium will be good?
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, I think horror is a cheaper genre, hence why more new filmmakers jump in there instead of sci-fi and why studios or indie productions make those instead of original sci-fi films.
- Andrew C (✓)
from Android
Cheaper in what way? Cheaper to make? Cheaper quality?
- Kol Tregaskes
I forgot one sc-fi movie coming up: Interstellar
- Kol Tregaskes
I guess I just listed 8 films up this year through September (though admittedly, I don't know the UK premiere dates.) Horror can be lower budget to film, especially the "found footage" genre, or something that takes place on limited sets (interiors, or stuff that can be shot on a lot, rather than on location.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
Cheaper cause less VFX needed. Horror is often the real world + one supernatural element; sci-fi is frequently an entire replacement world. Even low-budget indies like Robot Stories that are set in the near future still have to do more fancy sci-fi cars and floating screens to sell their setting.
- Andrew C (✓)
TBH, I'm not really worried how much they spend on making the movies, it's the end product that counts. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
And sci-fi can be cheap too, Monsters for example - which was an excellent movie.

I like Esteban (and Stefano and Etienne) but it doesn't really address the core Steve/Steven/Stephen/Stephan debate -- if your given name is one of those and then you switch to another language's version but it's not your cultural background, that's pretty pretentious.

As a card carrying member of the "v" club I knew I made the right choice when a Stephen moved into the school yard in 4th grade. To make it worse he pronounced it "Stefffffen." We knew there could be only one. He hit me with a metal pole I still have the scars on my knuckles from his braces. I think that fight was over a 4 Square incident but it did solidify that "ph" is the devil's work.
- SteVe C

- Stephan Planken

I was originally supposed to be a Stefan, but it turned out to be a mass distinction, not a specific name, so I became Ulrich. And since nobody in the US can pronounce that, it turned to Uli.

And in light of the unstoppable success of G+, the plan worked out beautifully!
- Andrew C (✓)
Well I think Google+ is a success but I don't think it's a replacement for Google Reader in anyway. I've tried to replicate my feeds from Reader with G+ but some sites simply don't use it or don't post all their posts on the RSS feed. I will be looking for a replacement.
- Kol Tregaskes
And no feedly isn't anywhere near as good as Reader. It was interesting how many sites came out saying they weren't going to replace Reader once it died. Clearly there is still a need for an RSS reader.
- Kol Tregaskes
And yes, to say I was hugely disappointed would have been an understatement.
- Kol Tregaskes
I was being sarcastic earlier, but today Buzzfeed brought the numbers: G+ drives far far less traffic than Reader, and Reader itself is way behind Facebook. ( https://friendfeed.com/arc315... )

When someone hires you and expects you to do a job, you don't get to pick & choose and reject the many projects that would be way over your head. That would be a good way to get yourself fired and replaced by a more capable, experienced developer. So, I figure...
