Louis Gray
You can e-mail me directly to louisgray@friendfeed.com and they end up in my Direct Messages box. You can even DM yourself...
Don't forget share@friendfeed.com goes directly to your stream - Jesse Stay
And, as Louis showed here, you can send it to your stream, and other individuals to "tag" them and ensure they see it. - Jesse Stay
That's cool! - Robert Scoble
I use this to send photos to my stream from my iPhone - Jesse Stay
Didn't know about this, pretty cool. - Antoniu
The email subject line becomes the ff post title, and the email body (optional) becomes the first comment! - Micah Wittman
This is a really cool feature! I love it! - TheHenry from Nambu
Micah, attach a photo (or multiple photos) and they get attached as photos. - Jesse Stay
Jesse - Oh, absolutely. My mentions were just an added point to the discussion of sending pics by email :) - Micah Wittman
how does share@friendfeed.com know which feed to add to? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle, I think it picks your default feed, but I'm not 100% sure. You get an e-mail back with a confirmation link that you can then approve to go out to your stream. - Jesse Stay
Does this mean you can now DM any of your subscriptions even if they're not subscribed to you? That's cool. Is there a setting to block people from DMing you if you're not subscribed to them? [Edit - That doesn't seem to be the case, actually. I can still only DM users that are also subscribed to me. So was this just a reminder post or is there something new here?] - Tony Ruscoe
Last time I tried attaching a photo in an email to FF, it didnt work. I will try again. I believe it was user error. so if you are subscribed to me, you may see a few test posts. It's not critical as Twitpic and Flickr photo uploads work fine from my BB Curve. (Picasa uploads link the entire photo-album....maybe more user error) -- no one ever dm's me.... - Mike Nencetti
send pics to username+remotekey@mail2ff.com (works great, I just did it this morning) - MLx
MLx it also works natively in FriendFeed by sending to share@friendfeed.com. I use that all the time now. - Jesse Stay
MLx, you beat me to it! I've sent numerous pictures of ducklings from my iPhone. Works like a champ! - CAJ, somewhere else
Hey, awesome info thanks (haven't spent near enough time tooling up my ff syntactical skills ;) - Mark Essel
Mein gott...we work at FriendFeed!!!! - Mike Nayyar
*hands Louis a massive late pass* :) http://ff.im/2s7GS - chrisofspades
Bret's official post: http://ff.im/2sgJZ - chrisofspades
How can I get one of those email addresses? - Jannifer @wordsforliving
you have them Jannifer - Mark Essel
yeah Louis, chrisofspades said what I was thinking. This is cool but it has been out for a while already. :D - Josh Haley
http://friendfeed.com/share... has all of the details :) - Benjamin Golub
Hmmm, so do I even need email anymore? I could get all my mail here. The question is...will it blend? I mean, can I reply? - CAJ, somewhere else
I can't seem to get this to work for my account sadly. - Brandon Mendelson
@Brandon Send an e-mail to bjmendelson@friendfeed.com, it should work with all accounts, nothing to set up. If it doesn't work then you could contact FF and see if they can fix it. - Antoniu
For my Blackberry Curve, the email body is not the first comment, when I email to share@friendfeed.com - Mike Nencetti
Well, that is I was telling on Facebook... do you work on Friendfeed? - HECTOR ARTURO
Thanks for the reminder.. I already use the comment by e-mail feature of FriendFeed but forgot to try these other e-mail features. They seem great, as usual ;) - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Awesome, Louis, you're the ultimate - Juvenn Woo from fftogo
I know it's late (theoretically). Note there are still folks who haven't figured out the hide function. So when it came up today, I thought I would mention it. :) - Louis Gray
@321 Thank you. Still can't get it to work but I will ask the FF folks. It's probably something I'm overlooking in my settings. - Brandon Mendelson
hey louis- im a bit confused about this new friendfeed email thing becuz of the direct message limit that friendfeed imposes... i just forwarded a long email to myself using my friendfeed email address but the only thing that came thru was the subject heading.. so this email thing isnt that effective yet.. right? - Jason Pollock
Jesse: I'm emailing a photo from mobile to share@friendfeed.com (have also used username+remotekey@mail2ff.com.) Subject (title) and body (comment) arrives fine but the pic doesnt display. Mobile to Gmail is fine as pic displays in sent items but the Gmail to ff route seems to be a problem any ideas? - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Peter I think pictures aren't working right now on FriendFeed via e-mail. They used to work but aren't working for me right now. - Jesse Stay
Jesse have been in contact with Tudor Bosman about this and he has picked up that some phones send the image with a content-type of application/octet-stream instead of image/jpeg. He says they will add a workaround for this later tonight or tomorrow. - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
