Tip: I use Google Reader a lot, and I'm lazy to select, copy and then paste on Evernote. So I just click on Email link in GReader and send the entire article/item to my Evernote email, then the article is pasted on my Evernote. It add two extra blue boxes, but no big deal. You can edit it later.

- Bill Sodeman
This is almost how I use "like" on FF now, but I have it automated. Every day I have a feed that pulls my daily posts and comments/likes into Evernote. Then if I ever need to remember that thing I liked I can just look it up in Evernote search. Easier than trying to find it again on FF, especially with the 8-page limit.
- Lindsay
@Lin-ZAY how do you do that?
- Leandro Ardissone ⍨
Leandro, I created a FeedBurner feed out of my post feed and another one out of my comments/likes feed. I set up the FeedBurner account to offer the email subscription option and then I subscribed to it with my personal email account (GMail). Then I set up filters in GMail to forward the emails to my Evernote email account. Wish I could skip that step but you have to confirm the FeedBurner email subscription. Works fine. I get two new notes every day with 24 hours worth of my activity.
- Lindsay
awesome, thank you :)
- Leandro Ardissone ⍨
Lindsay, you can skip that step. If you subscribe with your Evernote email address, FeedBurner should send the confirmation email straight to Evernote. You can then follow the confirmation link in your new note. Thats how I've done it. Hope that helps :-)
- David Adam
Oh, awesome, David! I never thought of that!

Cool, I just set it up your way, David. That actually opens up a lot of other interesting possibilities... I'm going to redirect some of the news letters and notifications I get to that address and also have my DailyLit.com subscriptions sent there. I'm excited!

Many people, even Google Reader users, do not appreciate the full power of Google Reader. It is my central command post for managing a wide variety of information -- anything that can be channeled as feeds.
- Sean McBride
I've found that GR doesn't handle feeds for comments on individual blog entries too well -- it skips some and displays them out of order.

it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken.

What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish?
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria.
- Thomas Hawk
Wow and Congrats!!
- Vox
Dude, you're a machine.
- Zee.
Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner.

- Russellreno
If you're asking in general whether you can export notes from one account and import them into another the answer is yes, definitely. I use that as a way to share notes with Tad. For my particular situation, I could do that, and maybe email myself the export file to download at home... or maybe email the export file to my Evernote email account and see if it would auto-import (I bet it would, though I haven't tried). So far I have just entered stuff in the web interface and that's been convenient enough.

Scanning and tagging clippings from magazines that would normally have sat around in a file folder, not being referenced as intended when I originally tore them out, or on top of my dresser, cluttering up the look of my bedroom. AND the text is searchable. Sweet.

You're becoming my organizing hero, Kate! I've done some of this too but not nearly enough. I wish it wasn't so labor intensive to scan stuff. What settings do you use, btw? And are you saving them as images or as PDFs?
- Lindsay
I'm scanning TIFFs to Preview, and then cropping and saving as PDFs to my Evernote "dropbox" which is just a folder with Folder Actions enabled and an Applescript to import the folder's content into Evernote (which I got from here: http://forum.evernote.com/phpbb...). It's not a totally smooth process, but it's getting me pretty good results so far.
- Kate O'Neill
In retrospect, and after having poked around in my newly-scanned files a bit, I now see that the text isn't actually searchable since they're PDFs. However, opening them and re-saving them as JPGs and reimporting them does the trick. Too bad I didn't catch this yesterday before scanning several dozen pages, but at least I caught it before I did a boatload more. :)

This makes me so happy. I have wanted a good way to organize my fonts for years and this is exactly what I wanted: the file, a sample capture, the source download link and license information at a glance. I can even add tags for each license to pull up a list quickly. Thank you, Evernote!!!

Tarpipe now has a connector for Evernote! I am going to use RSSFwd to send my FF posts to it so that they're automatically stored in Evernote too. That way I don't have to worry about "losing" something in the 8 page FF bug.
- Lindsay
from Bookmarklet
Lindsay, have you had any luck with this yet?
- Trent Olson
Not really with Tarpipe. I used FeedBurner and made a feed with an email subscription option out of my FriendFeed feed. Then I subscribed to it. It doesn't do real time updates like I wanted, but grabs everything that was posted in 24 hours and sends in one email. That's better than nothing. I tried forwarding it to my tarpipe workflow but it errored out. :( So I just forwarded it directly to my Evernote email address. That works, but it's not ideal.
- Lindsay
I got picture posting working after a bit. http://bit.ly/iSKQ It seems that the pipeline is still somewhat fragile as Dropipe failed the first time. Also the OCR seemed not to work that well.
- jho
@Lindsey I was trying to do something similar to that. I wanted Evernote to archive all of my tumblr entries (my tumblr also aggregates all my FF entries). I ended up using feedmailer to automatically mail tumblr's RSS feed to Evernote.
- David Adam
So far the FeedBurner feed has been consistent... I've actually come to appreciate the daily summary instead of individual posts since it captures all the conversation as well. Also made a feed for my Likes/Comments so I get two posts a day to Evernote. Feels a bit more "secure" that my FF participation isn't just falling off the edge of the 8 page cliff anymore.
- Lindsay
I might try your method, because I haven't been all that satisfied with mine. Also, is there any way to have these emailed/imported feeds automatically tagged or put into specific notebooks? For example a tumblr notebook/tag or a friendfeed notebook/tag.
- David Adam
I haven't found a way to auto-tag or have them put in the non-default notebook, David... I've been meaning to post some feedback to the Evernote devs about that. I want that feature too... Fortunately, since I tag everything, it's pretty easy to see those posts and tag them whenever I go back to the client, but it would be nice if it were done automatically, yeah.
- Lindsay
I agree, having things auto-tagged is a must-have feature.

Question, Why publish the same photos on 2 sites? (Flickr and Zooomr)
- Aline
I won't answer for Thomas, but in a lot of ways they are two different communities, often with separate members. For me, it's a way to get photos seen by and get feedback from different groups of people.
- RyanEs
RyanEs is right. They are two very different communities. Flickr is a much larger and widespread audience. Zooomr is a smaller group but a much more concentrated community of hardcore photographers. There is some overlap by some other members who like me post to both, but there are a lot of people that only use one or the other. By posting to both I can interact with both communities.

Thomas, ever thought of SmugMug as well?
- Roberto Bonini
Roberto, I have thought of SmugMug and I'd like to publish there as well. I have an account there but have just been too busy to concentrate on it. I plan on getting more involved there in the near future though. My limited experience there thus far was that I had trouble uploading some large sized images. But that could have been my connection. Now that I have fiber at home I need to try again and give it the time it deserves. It's a great site with a great engaged management team.

Thomas, I use SmugMug exclusively. I find that it is a great site with a really good user experiance. The privacy controls are also second-to-none. however, i wish that Gallaries could be looser in the sense that one photo may belong on more than one gallary (as is the case with Flickr sets, I belive).
- Roberto Bonini
I think sets work really well on Flickr. I use SmartSetr to automatically generate sets based on tags/keywords. I've got 541 sets on Flickr at present. I'm hoping to have at least 1,000 by year's end. http://www.flickr.com/photos...

I think so too Thomas. Thats why I'm thiking of opening a Flickr account as well. That and the favorites feature.

Ansel Adams - Tribute page by Carletto di San Giovanni [MySpace] - http://profile.myspace.com/index...

Adams was born in San Francisco, California in an upper-class family to Charles and Olive Adams. When he was four years old, he was tossed face-first into a garden wall in an aftershock from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, breaking his nose.

from Bookmarklet
Adams' father decided to pull Ansel out of school in 1915, at the age of 12. He was to be educated by private tutors and, with this, his father also arranged for him to take piano lessons and to learn Greek. From years of music his original passion was to become a concert pianist, but Adams became interested in photography after seeing Paul Strand's negatives. Adams long alternated between a career as a concert pianist and one as a photographer.

Ansel Adams first came to Yosemite National Park in 1916.
- Mitchell Tsai
Adams was an avid mountaineer in his youth and participated in the club's annual "high trips", and was later responsible for several first ascents in the Sierra Nevada. It was at Half Dome in 1927 that he first found that he could make photographs that were, in his own words, "…an austere and blazing poetry of the real".
- Mitchell Tsai
One of my favorite interviews was with Ansel's son, here: http://www.fastcompany.tv/video... -- did you know that the music on that video is actually Ansel Adams' piano playing? We have one of the few recordings of his music, thanks to his family.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I watched that video when you first posted it. Great interview and I do look forward to seeing more from the PhotoCycle series.
- Justin Korn
Robert: I like that FastComany's videos don't auto-play. I can open the video in a tab & listen to it when I have time. Fun to see Yosemite's Glacier Point again after 2 visits to Yosemite this summer. :-)
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mitchell Totally agree, it's little things like that I like on the web. Can't stand autoplay vids!
- Mo Kargas
Justin: the PhotoCycle series got a funding green light (thanks to a sponsorship from Adobe) and we'll be starting that up probably in October. Got some really fun ones planned for that. In the meantime, though, we just interviewed Rick Smolan, photographer behind the Day in the Life series of photo books. That should be out later this week or next week and is a good one.

The Top Five Ways to Make FriendFeed Better - http://thomashawk.com/2008...
Nikpay, Christian Anderson, Kol Tregaskes and 53 other people liked this
1. 1. Build profile pages. 2. Allow users the ability to rank their contacts and friends on a 1-10 scale.3. Provide a better way to include images with blog RSS content. 4. Provide better contact recommendations. 5. Make the "Hide" functionality work on every section of the site.
- Thomas Hawk
I will disagree with the "friend ranking" idea. As I said the other day in another thread, I think allowing for generic user-defined groups (not rooms) would be a fantastic addition. Ranking friends for "closeness" just seems like targeting a symptom not the real problem.
- Rob Diana
I think number three is especially important -- it could add so much to the site with a relatively small change
- Nathan Rein
Rob, without ranking your friends/contacts there is not an easy way to determine content from higher value contacts vs. lower value contacts. I think if each of us looked at our contacts we'd recognize that not all are equally interesting. With user-defined groups (i.e. group 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) you could accomplish the same thing sort of but you'd then not be able to use these groups to create a "best of" personal relevancy sort of page.
- Thomas Hawk
They could simply use the same stats they show us on who we find interesting for that ranking, though
- Jason Carreira
@Thomas, I saw it the other way, meaning only I know who my more interesting contacts are. To get your "best of" relevancy thing, maybe some "rated liking" would work, right? Or are you talking about people who are relevant, not content?
- Rob Diana
And these enhancements should be for advanced, not required for new people- as I think it would be intimidating until you got familiar with the usage
- anna sauce
Like it Thomas. I doubt I'd use the friend ranking feature, but I assume it'd be optional.
- Hutch Carpenter
Too much of the UI is hidden. There's a lot of power here and it's not as intuitive as it should be. I'd also like a real dashboard view, not just for groups of people I'm more interested in following, but also topics I'm more interested in following. I think there's too much interesting content that slips through here now unnoticed--or barely noticed--because more active content buries it. I'd also not mind some way of changing how FF updates itself; I may not prefer content float based on activity alone.
- abacab
Rob the idea would be that by your having the option to assign a 1-10 rating to any contact, completely optional and private, FF could then use these rankings to influence your personal "best of the day." Right now the best of the day includes 20 or so items based on everyone's overall activity. This should continue. But allowing a personal "best of the day" should produce a different basket of content by weighting content produced by your higher value contacts ahead of your lower value contacts.
- Thomas Hawk
Recommender systems take past activity to gauge potential value of matches to you... FF could do the same based on the metrics they're capturing for who and what you "like" and comment on... It would be compute-intensive but could be done in relatively static batches
- Jason Carreira
I'm a big fan of #5, would save me a lot of trouble. Great suggestions Thomas!
- Shey
@Thomas, ah I understand. So, we will have to disagree :) My thinking is that I may connect with people because they are interesting, but I may not like all of their content. I see how your version could work, as long as "likes" were involved. I need to think about this one.
- Rob Diana
(1) Profile pages are so important and something like name, small bio and home page would make a difference. (2) I have mixed feelings on ranking/filtering/grouping friends, it would be nice but I'm starting to think people don't really want to label their friends, that's so high-school. (3) #1 feature I'm waiting for! I becoming a fan of weheartit for my visual/photo bookmarks (http://weheartit.com/user...) but if try to add it to FF is kind of useless, the same goes to my photoblog or favorites RSS
- João Almeida
2) use how often someone interacts with a contact to rank contacts automatically. the hell with manual ranking
- Chuq Von Rospach
Chuq, you could use some sort of automated algorithm based on that as a default, but sometimes automated algorithms are not the best. The whole my TiVo doesn't get me when making recommendations sort of thing. By allowing users to tweak these ratings you might get a better degree of relevancy.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas: agreed. more granularity on the definition of "friend" is useful, but I really want the system to figure out what I find most interesting and encourage that, not force me into manual bookeeping, because most users won't.
- Chuq Von Rospach
Chuq, but power users would and these users still make up a large degree of activity on a social network. A recent study on Flickr showed that 3.7% of the users accounted for 60% of the photos on the site. http://thomashawk.com/2008... Frequently I miss content from high value FF users (even my own wife) because it gets lost in the mix. Allowing me to assign higher values to my higher value contacts would do a better job at ensuring I saw this content.
- Thomas Hawk
You could have a default ranking system based on what FF automatically thinks ought to be your personal relevancy ratings with an option to override a rating and submit your own for any given user.
- Thomas Hawk
make them look at me!
- NoahDavidSimon
I think you guys should use Noiseriver if you want all this personal ranking stuff. I don't think it has any business in FF directly.
- Rah-PM 2012
Please, god, quit telling me to throw one more site onto the pile of sites I already have to try to keep track of!
- Chuq Von Rospach
Hao's FF Better Recommender and User Profile scripts work wonders for me!
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Am I the first to suggest flags? The "Like" functionality doesn't provide the level of flagging I'm looking for. Let me set flags, either with labels or colors or numbers or anything. Just give more resolution (and help me avoid saying I "like" bad news).
- Yuval Atzmon
Hao's FF User Profile script is good. I use it myself. But scraping Twitter for a profile isn't the best way to go. Twitter limits profile character length to 160 characters and doesn't allow html. Flickr's profile pages look much better than Twitters'.
- Thomas Hawk
Why does the profile info have to be inside of FriendFeed? Why can't you just click the Twitter/Flickr/FaceBook/LinkedIn/etc. icon and view the full profile there? I know it's "nifty" for it to be one-click less, but is there really a benefit here?
- Rah-PM 2012
For me i'd like a way to get to the first occurence of a link or maybe the one with the most comments. maybe something like http://friendfeed.com/link... Sometimes on bigger stories the conversation is split across multiple items.
- Shawn McCollum
Good ideas Thomas, but I must say that for me numbers 1 through 5 would all be the same: Fix the discussion fragmentation problem! Every instance of the same URL and all the comments for those should be able to be viewed all together on one page, somehow. It doesn't need to be the default view, but I think it should be an option. Am I the only one?
- Daniel Smith
Rahseen, there is value to FriendFeed doing their own profile pages as it builds on identity at FriendFeed. It also provides consistency of user experience. There is value to the fact that all Flickr profile pages use the same format and it helps users digest the information more easily. Disparate profiles off site of FF don't provide the same user experience.
- Thomas Hawk
Shawn, aggregating links could also be a valuable tool. A "show me more of this item on FF" button that pulled in other places that FF the same url was being presented would be a helpful tracking tool.
- Thomas Hawk
I definitely understand what you're saying about profile formats and cohesive user experience, but I don't think they apply to FF. I don't feel like a user profile is part of what FF is about. I think it's more about the content the person is producing...not the person themselves. Each of us has a million profiles scattered across the net already. Why make us fill out yet another :)
- Rah-PM 2012
(1) I prefer the anonymity, rather than having profiles more obvious. (2) The personal 1-10 rank is a great idea. I posted it to the Feedback room http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Mitchell Tsai
re: profiles, why not give users the option? A - Import my profile from 'INSERT SITE HERE' B - Create a FF profile C- No profile for me, please

Smart filters - I'd love to automatically hide every post, item, entry, note with the words "Friendfeed" or "Twitter" in it.
- Eric P
@Eric, that is an excellent idea. Add "iPhone" to the filter list and I'd be in heaven!
- Jeff P. Henderson
FF supports Media RSS for blogs. You can use OurDoings, the hybrid photo-sharing/blogging site I developed to make a blog where FriendFeed will automatically pick up the photos. I'm sure we're missing features important to serious bloggers, but for a photo-centric blog I think it's your best bet: http://ourdoings.com/

http://friendbinder.com supports number 2, we call it interest levels which are from 1 to 5, selectable with a nice ajax star highlight (like on amazon etc.)

#1 Make FriendFeed not so ugly to look at. In the very least give that generic logo a once over.

anything to help find like minded people to focus knowledge sharing efforts has to be high on the list

Not sure about the profile pages, one of the nice things about FF is that it focuses on what it is that you're doing on other sites, and conversation around that. Creating FF profile pages may increase the pull toward direct content creation on FF, which may be self-defeating.
- Yaniv Golan
create a top "non friends" topic page because just like on their blogs many blogstars I follow just parrot each other and I would like a way to discover others and dump the self promoters. It gets tiring.

For those who like mind mapping, and visually organising your niches, this piece of software maybe what your looking for. Comes as a 30Day trial but then reverts to a freeware version. - http://www.thebrain.com/#-42

Not quite my idea of mind mapping, feels cumbersome and a bit overblown and costs $149 after the 30 days. Others may like it though, thanks for the link.

I like Freemind for mind mapping. It's easy to use and you can't beat the price (free).

It reminded me how much I like some of the online ones too - like https://www.mindmeister.com (basic version also free)
