Re: It’s too late for Dave Winer and John Battelle to save the common web - http://scobleizer.com/2012...
"100% agree with Wes. I can rather easily leave Facebook and if it wasn't the fact that personal contacts live there, I'd be off it in a heartbeat. Facebook would be as dead to me as MySpace as I can easily use other services to communicate socially. RSS gives me much more value for consumption, you just need to know how to manage it and how to import the data important to you."

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 :)

- 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

FWIW this isn't working for me any longer. Perhaps that has something to do with my Gmail settings though.

Re: 2012 brings a pause in the disruption - http://scobleizer.com/2012...
"Disruption will come in different hardware types over apps in 2012. Raspberry Pi & HDMI MHL Sticks (Roku), Augmented Glasses, Smart Watches, Gesture & Voice, Driverless Cars, etc. Some will take a couple more years to mature to consumerism but certainly we will have little pause and I'm sure a few surprises will come in software and web apps. Been a fan of Janrain for many years..."

Re: QuickPoll: Will tablet sales eventually surpass PC sales? - http://www.computerworld.com/s...
"The Simple Term "Tablet" vs "PC" is very vague. You will see more laptops converge into two pieces where the monitor is the main device. Some will look like the Asus Models and be strictly a Mobile OS, others will have Windows/MacOSX and hopefully even both depending on your needs. I'd like to believe that this will further transform to something that adapts to you so your "device" is just a form factor service with a "Smart VDI" Technologies (Virtual Desktop) that displays and syncs (for offline periods) with cloud data. So I may be using a Smartphone and then switch to a Tablet with almost the same experience with the same exact apps and data just optimized to the larger size screen. This also opens the entry way to the explosion of Smart Watches (or FitBit form factor) being your personal Wireless Hotspot. This allows one to just carry one form factor screen at a time (ie. not be tied to a Smart Phone) decoupling the 4G and basic communication stack. The design isn't very far..."

Re: You Can’t Hate Religion and Love Jesus - http://www.patheos.com/blogs...
Micah liked this
"As an Agnostic, who grew up Christian, I can relate to what he was "trying to say". I interpret his word "Religion" to mean "Organized Religion". Maybe its because I was bitten by the Church in the past but "Organized Religion" and "Jesus/God" can certainly be separated. The Church and Organized components are the marketing and brainwashing components that lead to a very wealthy set of enterprise brands with lobbyist power."

Visual Studio on Windows, TextMate and XCode on OSX...
- iTad
The reason I ask, is I have a half dozen language specific editors, along with my general use of Notepad++.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
If I do write a code, I will go with vim just because it seems compatible with all major Operating systems. I tried ultraedit for one my class and it has plenty of options/features. Wish I could write a code though :)
- Ashish
emacs, because I don't know how to use vi ;)
- Victor Ganata
depends on the language. generally Dreamweaver, Visual Studio, or Notepad++, or whatever's available.
- chrisofspades

- Melly Botts
LOL Melly
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
E-TextEditor - It supports most of the TextMate addons.and UNIX shell tools on Windows.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Vim for pretty much the same reason as Ashish, that and I haven't found one that I truly like. *edit I love Vim, don't get me wrong, but I haven't found a gui one that i like.
- Scott (Honey Boo-Boo!)
Heh, Scott.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Eclipse (w/ CFEclipse and PDT) mostly; Dreamweaver for layout-related stuff; NotePad++ or TextPad for basic stuff. I use Eclipse the most because of its versatility (Java, ColdFusion, PHP, JS, CSS, etc).
- Adam
Just found that Vim can withstand 808 MB of text file.
- Ashish
Impressive.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Coda and sublime
- AJ Batac :)

Vi
- Todd Hoff
Visual Studios for Windows and BBEdit on the Mac.
- ronin
Yeah I switched to sublime(1), and then sublime X which became Sublime 2. Around the beginning of last year.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Dreamweaver just because I'm so use to it (plus work installed it with the CS5 suite) and it helps with letting me know there are errors in my jQuery. I would like to give Coda a whirl but I'm primarily a PC at work.
- Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
from Android
mostly vi since I live in CLI. For larger projects, eclipse.
- imabonehead
emacs for non-root, vi for root. old habits.
- Kevin Johnson
vi or TextWrangler
- Tinfoil 2.0
ed, sed, or awk
- I like big Botts
Dreamweaver for me. The reasons: I have it, and it's functional. The code completion and function hinting is really nice, so that's a plus.
- Curdy G
vi/vim with syntax-aware coloring enabled.
- Brian Johns
TextMate (or SciTE on Windows).
- Micah
from FFHound(roid)!
Vi, I started with Vi, continued with Vi. Probably will end up with Vi.
- samet
I'm good with vi/vim or emacs. I've mostly stuck with vim, but I think it usually depends on what language I'm working with.
- Rah-PM 2012
Visual Studio for Microsoft platforms and... wait..I don't support other platforms :)
- Jemm
Notepad++ simply for its multi-language highlighting support and "replace text across all open files" feature. lol @Melly
- Benny Bucko <Team Melly>
Benny brings up another feature I use in Dreamweaver quite a bit; I love being able to search/replace an entire folder or search/replace all open files

Re: Microsoft says the future of TV and entertainment isn't about Windows - http://www.disqus.com/people...
"I'll be the first to admit that Windows and even Windows Media Center isn't perfect for the TV or for average consumers but it still is one of the best, most robust options out there. The beauty of Windows is that it goes well beyond Windows Media Center and can handle virtually all A/V content that exists both online and through Cable/Sat/OTA TV. The XBox in this manner is too constrained much like a Roku or Boxee Box. Kinect works just fine with WMC but is somewhat of a gimmick. Something new will come out for TV but appliances and game consoles so far have been good for secondary TVs in the house but lacking for the primary TV. That all said, I'd love to see the XBox working with the new SilconDust Prime Cablecard systems."

"In the interest of starting my week off right, I want to share this boozy banana pound cake with you. It’s not overwhelmingly alcoholic, but it’s got just the right amount to brush the stardust out of your eyes first thing in the morning, and best of all, it pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. This is a dense, buttery pound cake, so a small slice is all you need to get you going, which is great, as it freezes well and thaws quickly. I added some chocolate chips because, well, why not, along with cinnamon and cardamom. The crusty caramel bottom, which also includes bourbon, may be the best part of this pound cake. It crackles when you cut into it, as well as when you take a bite, and if that doesn’t draw you to this cake, I’m not sure what will!"

- djchuang
#3
- pala
#1
- DJ Stevie Steve
#2, you look thoughtful and trustworthy.
- Stephen Mack
#3, #1 looks too mug-shotish and #2 looks a bit ... smug. #3 says you're an amiable confident guy. (Or that's what *I* see FWIW)
- AJ Kohn

- Ceren Şekerci
Love the smile in #3!

- Corinne L
#3

#1 looks like a badge photo. #2 makes you look like you're smug and cocky. #3 is the winner. Friendly and open.
- EricaJoy
I like the first one. I think you look friendly
- Julie Parker
#1 = everything looks just right, #2 = too pompous, #3 = 笑点低 (so easy to be amused)

I think you should use your FF profile picture, but barring that, the third one is my favorite of the three above.
- Vicarbott
I thought you only wanted to use the original one you used back in the day at google. BUT 3.

3 or 1

#3 if you don't go with Kevin's suggestion
- Anne Bouey
#3

- Laura Norvig

I like 3. There is unfortunate distortion caused by your glasses in 2 and 3 but your smile is best in 3.
- Benjamin Golub
#1
- Oguz Serdar
#3 - didn't look at comments before I answered, but I was tempted! Never met you in person but either #1or #3 seem the most like the person I *think* you are.

Now looking at comments - this is a very cool game! We draw so many conclusions when looking at a photo!

- Kol Tregaskes

I would love a invite. Circles is a good idea, I just wonder how it is implemented. Can I see when that I am in your "PITA" circle or can someone see when I put them in the "BAT SHIT CRAZY" circle? I wonder if they added any of the cool features from WAVE to this? I also wonder what will happen with Buzz when/if this starts to grow?
- NotdaBOTTurlokin4
Circles is the key for me. I want to try it before I make any judgements. WHERE'S MY INVITE!!!?!?!?
- AJ Kohn
Are they going to do circles better than Facebook does friend groups? I spent a whole day creating friend groups on Facebook to control sharing, and I never use them. I just share everything with everyone.

Just watched the tour. Wow. That does look very cool. With realtime integration into mobile (hopefully they don't leave iOS hanging) this could be very cool. But FB will still be there for all of your past girlfriends and enemies to find you.

I definitely use friend groups in Facebook, which is why most of you have never seen all of my Cafe World and Gardens of Time updates, or my detailed biometric industry comments. (Comments on new nieces are publicly visible.) For me, it's premature to leave Facebook, though.

The Food Lab: Wicked Good Lobster Rolls | Serious Eats - http://www.seriouseats.com/2011...
Eric, Laura Norvig, Апофеоз этого психоза and 6 other people liked this
"He's absolutely right. Roasting a lobster in the oven (I found that bringing it up to 135°F in a 350°F oven worked very well) gives you extraordinarily aromatic meat with a much more intense, sweeter flavor. Roasting is also a slower cooking process than steaming or boiling, leading to more evenly cooked meat"
- Andrew C (✓)
from Bookmarklet
" This leaves us in a rather sticky situation: Cook too fast by steaming and some of the meat gets rubbery. Cook too slowly by roasting, and the meat sticks to the shell. Solution? Steam the lobsters just until the very exterior of their meat just sets--about one minute--remove it from the steamer, then finish it off in the oven."
- Andrew C (✓)
Also, remove the tail and claws from the body before you roast - article explains why.
- Andrew C (✓)
Never made a home-made lobster roll but roasting the meat makes a lot of sense and wished more places would think of that as I'm usually ended up disappointed with the taste vs price.

"I saw the opposite happen to me personally a few weeks back and it really affects me while i'm trying to sell my existing house while my new one is on the verge of being completely being built. My house has been on the market for 3 months now and many people look at Zillow as being an 'official source' of appraisal. The change they did a few weeks back actually suddenly dropped my house's value down $30K on top of the downward trend that was already occurring before the Zestimate change. this has forced me to drop out price yet again mostly due to perception plus more competition of new houses being put on the market in my local area. I'll be dealing with double mortgages in a matter of a month or so but Zillow could have done a much better job at its readjustments in my opinion but I hope that they are right in their new calculations for better accuracy in the future."
