Hmm. This does not look that different to me in my gmail. But maybe that's because at work I have no camera in my pc. Hangout is an option but chat is the default.

I never use it in GMail, I either log in with Pidgin on my machine at work or I used GTalk on my phone but now it's Hangout and I can't tell whether it shows me as "logged in" to everyone in my Circles or not. It shows my "Frequently Contacted" and they're people I have NEVER chatted with ever.

So much this. I had it for about six months in high school. So frightening, yet so dead. Since then, whenever I say to myself, "I'm so depressed," I generally know that actually I am just sad, dissatisfied, and discouraged, because I don't actually have that scary complete lack of feeling that I had in high school.

It kind of freaks people out when I say it, but a year like that is what drove me to finally record an album. I got so far into not caring that I figured I didn't need to care anymore about neurotic things or fear of the future.

A few times I've tentatively touched on not caring, but I never got to armored level. It's mostly been the self-bullying and dead fish. I think I've never been as low so I've never had such extremity, but I've been down so long I've learned to muck through.

"Have you ever seen the historic train trestle in Willow Glen? Few have. For 90 years, it's been hiding just blocks from downtown -- one of the last reminders of San Jose's Old West past: a 200-foot long, 25-foot tall wood-timber trestle spanning the Los Gatos Creek. But go see it soon. The San Jose City Council has voted to demolish it. We need to tell them: Stop! For years, residents and city planners alike have planned to preserve this iconic trestle and make it the crown jewel of the Los Gatos Creek Trail where it joins the new Three Creeks Trail. It easily can be adapted for trail use by building a new trail deck and railing."

Oof. You have more tolerance than I do. Honestly, with a child like that, there's no reason for you to worry if they hate you or not. They are responsible for the behavior of their child and if he's searching for sex, then he probably saw it at home or something. Not touching your stuff without permission is another thing they should teach him.

After weeks of twitter import working, it has broken again... and now even the backup I use (Twitter Feed) has broken too. Is this normal, or is this due to Twitter's 100K tokens policy?

Twitter's shutting down the version of the API that is in current use by Friendfeed, afaik. So that may be permanent. The 100k tokens policy probably wouldn't apply to Friendfeed, they probably have access to somewhere around 300k tokens. https://dev.twitter.com/blog...

Backtype kinda imploded their own service; it's not like they changed an API and Friendfeed didn't update.

Backtype was acquired by Twitter, for their Hadoop tooling and analytics. Twitter shut it down.

How hard would it be to write our own Twitter-to-RSS service to use as a custom RSS option for FF?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
from iPhone
Technically probably not hard, but still beyond me. But I took a look at the Twitter dev terms of service, and I think that kind of thing might be against their rules.
- Andrew C (✓)
Advanced Tweets kind of works. I don't think it's against their terms if they make any provision of ownership to the author (the questionable case would be retweets). And yeah, it's not hard, just kind of costly.

Can someone please explain Duck Dynasty to me.
Micah and Sir Shuping is just sir liked this
Heh. Haven't seen it yet, but a friend at work tried to explain it to me because his son was offered a PA job on it and actually turned it down. I believe the deal is they are a large in-bred, eccentric family who made a bunch of money inventing those duck call thingies duck hunters use, and now they are on a reality TV show. That's all I know.
- Laura Norvig
Short answer: No.

The hurty-boobs pregnancy thing is no joke. No. Joke.
Oh, ow :(
- Jennifer Dittrich
Apparently it gets worse as time goes by. The first three months have been kinda low grade sore and more ultra-sensitive. All of the sudden this week it is like OW DONT TOUCH ME EVEN THE SHOWER HURTS!!!!!
- Mary Carmen
And I never had sore boobs as a PMS symptom, so this is totally new to me. I basically Google ever new ache and pain and weirdness. "XYZ while pregnant" and I am amazed at all the things that happen. Hormones are crazy. Like right now my body is in process of increasing my blood volume by 50%. This means peeing all the time, limbs feeling like they weigh 200 pounds each and exhaustion. WTF? How do people do this 10 times?!?!?!?
- Mary Carmen
You just wait - after the kid is born? I nearly duct taped mine together to keep them from moving at all, it hurt so bad when they did. I did sleep in a bra that was as sturdy as cast iron, though, because otherwise - ouch!
- WebGoddess
I just upgraded to maternity bras....these things are complicated.
- Mary Carmen
Get at least one that is a cup size bigger than you are now and built like an iron maiden. That will be the one you sleep in while your milk is coming in. It makes a big difference!!
- WebGoddess
Tmi, but I went up 4 sizes from pre-preg to nursing bras... But I feed twins. And whoa yeah discomfort at 3-4 mo is nothing compared to the first few weeks after... But you should have some time btwn now and then when it's better.

There's a gazillion weird things that happen. At one point I started getting PUPPP (it's a thing!), and I took some weird folk remedy and got rid of it. DO NOT read "What to Expect When You're Expecting." I liked uplifting stuff like Ina May Gaskin.
- Laura Norvig

I don't want to Google PUPPP do I?
- Mary Carmen
Aw man. Too late.

What was the folk remedy and did it work??????
- Mary Carmen
I don't like when boobs are in pain... not one little bit.

The weirdest pregnancy side-effect I've heard of (though it's not rare) is RSI.
- Spidra Webster
RSI? repetitive stress injury? Or am I missing something/
- Mary Carmen
Maybe for the fathers http://www.instantrimshot.com
- Johnny
lol
- Mary Carmen
Yes, that RSI. Some women get it during pregnancy. I guess the hormonal changes make them more susceptible to it than they'd be had they not gotten pregnant. (In other words, it isn't only related to doing more repetitive movements.) Took me a while to come up with the right keywords: http://www.google.com/search...
- Spidra Webster
MC, it was dandelion root. Worked great! Also, PUPPP is not very common. I'm an arse for mentioning it. Pregnancies make one want to share their own stories, I think.
- Laura Norvig
from iPhone
The RSI is from the hormones responsible for the softening per labor stage of those pelvic bones. Carpal tunnel braces are good for your wrists. Lumbar belly support gadgets are good for the pelvic pain and potential labial varicosities.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
from FFHound!
Thanks Janet. My back has been killing me. I think I'll look into some support.
- Mary Carmen
Yep. I totally got carpal tunnel whatever when preggers. The real bitch was sciatica.

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！

Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro.
- Louis Gray

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!

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
