well i be darned .... we now can rejoice, since fast paced additions to already good product are surely fastly coming about off the feedpipe ... it'l be a hectic season of finest upgrades ... I'm sure they'l start with keyboard shortcutze. ... I mean Google Reader rules on that. Intelligent to the extreme. ..Google.com, on the other hand - are we sleeping? .. not even "/" ??.. and that...

- Tim Hoeck
Wow, looks like somebody bumped this!
- Kevin Fox
I think there were a bunch of spam comments made to some 2009-era posts by FF employees. For some reason even after the spam is nuked, the post stays bumped.
- Stephen Mack
Yes, I blocked a spammer that was bumping old posts about FF themes and what not.
- Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
OH HAI!
- Eric
Well, let's see this as an opportunity to raise a virtual glass to Ben and FriendFeed-that-was!
- Kevin Fox
It probably had something to do with the Tornado 2.2 release. I noticed Ben was the one who posted about the release on HN earlier. Edit: Or it could have just been a spammer. *shrugs*
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I don't think it had anything to do with the tornado release - a spammer bumped a bunch of Bret's old posts today.
- Ben Darnell
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.
- 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
Just curious - at what time of the day will we get these emails ? Midnight US-Time, or will it respect our timezones ?
- Ahsan Ali
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
Thanks Bret
- Ahsan Ali
Cool
- Nimaa
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 ..
- Friendfeed's Francisco
That's a cool feature
- Xitong Liu
FWIW this isn't working for me any longer. Perhaps that has something to do with my Gmail settings though.

Emails no longer get sent except for Subscriptions. The last non-sub email I recieved was July 15th, 2011.

We added a few features you might have missed recently: support for imgur.com thumbnails (http://friendfeed.com/search...) and "Best of" for users/groups on the iPhone (http://friendfeed.com/iphone...)

Rumors of FriendFeed's death are greatly exaggerated. (Thank you, Ben!)
- Stephen Mack
Thanks, guys :)
- Friendfeed's Francisco
Stephen, very happy to see new features like this, but I think the "death" part is the major users reducing their activity. I'd love to see some support from Facebook in promoting FriendFeed more to encourage those users to go back. Or maybe they don't want to? Regardless, bonus for me! Thanks Benjamin - you're awesome!
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, fair enough but major users always did come and go. Some of the departees who left said they were doing so because there was no new development. Clearly not all development is halted. Last week Paul hinted that FF may receive a major new feature, and characterized his participation as "20% time" -- I'll take that.
- Stephen Mack
I backed down off the all caps. The group "best of" is really useful, love it.
- Stephen Mack
Stephen, I agree - I'd just like some confirmation that Facebook cares about all this so I can know whether to focus my efforts on Facebook or FriendFeed or both.
- Jesse Stay
I noticed the best of on the iPhone the other day, wrote it out on a cake and then ated it.
- Josh Haley
Thanks for the update Ben
- AJ Batac :)
Jesse, I think you should focus where your users are focused. What do SocialToo users want? But if they want Facebook focus, you should still keep an eye on FriendFeed, since the future Facebook will look a lot more like FriendFeed.
- Bruce Lewis
Bruce, I'm not sure we know that.
- Jesse Stay
Paul Buchheit said the FB acquisition was attractive because of shared vision/direction. I would be surprised if a lot of that vision wasn't already embodied in this product right here.
- Bruce Lewis
not enough, best of day should be like a stream that can be traced back

Uh, it tells me that Scoble, among others, could use the recommendations. WTF? Perhaps I have too few subscriptions for this to work.

I'd still love an "e-mail this item" feature, similar to Google Reader.

great idea!

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.
- FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation?
- Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender.
- Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn)
- Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations
- Bret Taylor
from email
Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :)
- Meryn Stol
hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life....
- Bob DeMarco
I would like that deal, too, Scoble. I like this a lot.
- Ben Hanten
Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :)
- 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?

- 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!
- Mark Trapp
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
Thanks God it is New API.
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
from iPod
Nice progress here with this release!
- Micah
I love it!
- 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.

Pit bull. Maybe an abandoned 9th ward pup. (met one who had been adopted. Fell in love)

Talked to neighbor and landlord likes dogs, but isn't keen on "aggressive" dogs, meaning pits, rotts, and dobermans. Something about insurance.
- Derrick
In some places those dogs you listed will make your home owners drop you like a hot potato. (sad, rght?)
- Shannon - GlassMistress
our dog is listed everywhere as a lab mix, and she may be, but she's also got some rottie in her.
- Christina Pikas
If you spend a lot of time away from home now, I'd wait until things quiet down a bit to get a dog. Take your time, check out different breeds, maybe if you can carve out some time, volunteer as a dog walker (and photographer for their adoption web pages?) at a local shelter or two.
- vicster
Thinking about it, vicster, I actually don't spend that much time from home. School takes up a lot of my life and I was away because I didn't HAVE to be home. The bulk of my work could've been done here. I just think I'm looking for excuses. :( A good friend of mine has a dog walking business, so I'm going to spend some time with her on the job.
- Derrick
Oh, that's a great idea, D!
- vicster
That would be better! It's just like giving a crying baby back to it's parents ;)

Yes to the rental doggies - the dog walkers and friends with pups - just till you have time and are settled for one of your own

Have you thought of just being a foster home for a breed specific group? Gets your feet wet, you have the option to adopt if you find a true bond.

I'm calling a woman today to see about a dog I saw on petfinder.com Mixed breed. Not too bound by the specifics of a particular breed or type, but in pics even, this pooch kind of resonated with me. So, we'll see. Stay tuned.

D, tell him to double check. I know AllState, at least in GA, was fine with pit bulls. I called to ask when I was thinking about adopting a pup. EDIT: that's if you want a pittie. Big dogs may limit where you can live if though need to move though. Keep that in mind.
- tiffany
Pits are probably on the larger end size wise of what I'm looking for. Thinking beagle or cocker spaniel size. I'll poke around and take my time. I liked this pup but it didn't work out, so will wait until the right one does. :)

My stepmother has a 2.5 lb yorkie (full grown). When she was working (she is retired now) she would pop the dog in a large baby playpen lined with newspaper, with a little blankie, some toys, food, and water, and turned on the TV. This kept the dog out of trouble while she was at work, and contained any mess the dog might make. Yorkies have hair, not fur, so they don't shed like most...

Nice job Mark on Tesla. I'm a little late to the ball-game. Just sold some Tesla at 26.89 to lower my average cost to 25.86. Hopefully I can do more buys/sells to lower my average cost to your post-IPO 21. :-)
- Mitchell Tsai
I'm long on Tesla as well. Wishing I had purchased more.
- JCunwired
Tesla appears to be bouncing a little bit, so I have some buy orders at 25.14 and 24.13. No outstanding sell orders but I may sell some at 26.89, 27.89, and 28.89. The little stuff helps reduce my average cost (and my brokers like me...). I often buy 3X-5X the number of shares I want to hold for the long-term.

The domain of "news" for personalized news recommender systems will expand to include *all* of the information in one's life -- everything. And that is why the leading company for this product will rule the world -- think about it.

"sort social media users by number of mentions of Zyte" - my feed is full of "via @zyteapp" tweets
- Meryn Stol
We'll know great personalized news recommender systems when we see them because we'll go "Wow!" -- that damned thing is consistently pushing all my hottest buttons like nobody's business, and turning up valuable material and leads that I wouldn't have otherwise discovered.
- Sean McBride
We need a program that will objectively and scientifically measure the relative power and effectiveness of competing personalized news recommender systems. That should be doable.
- Sean McBride
I have that feeling with Zyte. At least compared to what I was used to. It's significantly, more than significantly better than other tools I've tried. But you can always be more wowed.
- Meryn Stol
There is no end of the wowing, or of the process of improving and optimizing cognitive and social processes with smart software.
- Sean McBride
Wouldn't the emotional response of the user be the best metric for that? Hook some test subjects up to some brain monitoring system.
- Meryn Stol
I like your thoughts on advanced search queries too though. But these approaches (i.e. logic-based vs statistical) can complement each other.
- Meryn Stol
Emotional response is one method worth exploring. Another: simple click mining. For instance: what is the rate of clickthrough for competing recommender systems? How many of the recommended items does the user click on or process in any way?
- Sean McBride
That's a lot of easier to measure. I think that after some days of usage, I click on significantly more news items in Zyte then I did when I started. I guess it's now at 50% vs 20% beforehand. That's a nice way of measuring the overall relevance has increased. When it goes up to 100% it means I'm spending way too much time reading news of course. ;)
- Meryn Stol
Zite is definitely showing some robust machine learning abilities. And that's the name of the game: continuous improvement in the flow of recommendations.
- Sean McBride
The better the algorithm, the more addictive this "news well" can become. Something to keep in mind. I suppose you are familiar with Nick Carr's thoughts (e.g. as put forth in The Shallows).
- Meryn Stol
But I would argue that superintelligent personalized news recommender systems could help overcome many of the problems that Nick Carr mentions with regard to information overload, shallowness, scattered attention, etc. An ideal personal assistant would help get one focused on the most important information in the world on the topics that matter most to one.
- Sean McBride
Personalized recommendations of everything is the holy grail... Ideally, I'm always presented with the best possible news, entertainment, etc. at any given time. I want a single source that tells me what the coolest possible things are at any given moment for everything, but filtered through a lens of what I've already dubbed as cool.
- Nathan Chase
Nathan -- high up on the list of recommendation domains: local events; fine-grained local events of all types. Also: local deals. What's happening right now (or in the near future) in my immediate vicinity that would most interest me?
- Sean McBride
Some recommendation domains: 1. activity partners 2. apartments for rent 3. articles 4. blogs 5. books 6. concerts 7. courses 8. deals 9. dissertations 10. doctors 11. email messages 12. employees 13. feeds 14. hookups 15. houses for sale 16. investments 17. investors 18. jobs 19. lawyers 20. lectures 21. magazines 22. meals 23. movies 24. music 25. new products 26. news 27. papers 28....

To Mark and others: what automated rules would you use to prioritize information in the world by personal relevance and importance?
- Sean McBride
Getting a handle on prioritizing personal interests: the number of times I've clicked 1. on a website. 2. on a feed 3. on an author 4. on terms contained in the title of a document 5. on terms contained in the full text of a document.
- Sean McBride
Another approach: permit users to declare their likes and interests in a single simple text file using ultra-simple markup.
