There is a lot of history to this picture. It was taken in Mike Arrington's back yard at the last Techcrunch party to be held in his house. This was a launch party too for our book Naked Conversations. It sounded like a good idea at the time. JD Lasica shot the photo and my wife and dad were within a few feet.

Speaking of which, I always wondered at the default gray background choice of the first Netscape browser(s). It looked too sophisticated to have been accidental.

If Iran thinks they have nothing to fear, then why block Friendfeed?

Frode: because the government is like China: they believe that by retarding the flow of information they will reduce the threat of protests and governmental overthrow.

Very reminiscent of the prelude to the fall of the Shah
- Alan Morris
I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access.
- Bret Taylor
Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information.

Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices.

So, there is good to come out of a crappy government! :-)

It is interesting how much civil unrest that is brewing across the globe towards their governments. The knee jerk reactions in attempting to block certain websites shows how much they didn't expect the net to become such a widespread conduit for cutting through the bs and informing those that wish to know. I wish those who take a stand all the best.

i was 53rd active user in friendfeed until this filtering. now i can open FF with proxies and if i can fine. a Vpn but many Vpn here come from companies that have relations with security services, i thunk they allow us to bypass filternig and then, they will arrest who has wrote against their goals

The reason I ask is because if you can email a post, then try sending it to share@friendfeed and also to YourUserName@friendfeed. Then when someone comments you'll receive an email about it and you can comment back to the thread via email as well.

Beautiful. Does couchdb actually require that? I assumed you could use JS or something.
- Paul Buchheit
Google shows almost as many results for "couchdb javascript" as "couchdb erlang", so apparently you *can* use couchdb without Erlang.
- Gabe
couchdb clients use JS for logic that executes on the server. Is this cartoon really about couchdb? I don't see any mention of it.
- Gary Burd
I think he was telling you to F* off.
- Will Higgins™
it's a joke, you sweaty nerds :) you can use any client, since you just run GET's n PUT's and whatever on port 5984
- mike
Gary: The comic is a thinly-veiled rip on couchdb. Couchdb is written in Erlang, but its queries are all written in JS as functions with an implicit foreach(row in database) around them (the "map"). Then you can write aggregating functions in JS (the "reduce") that get the map data and combine them somehow. Couchdb isn't a database so much as it's a storage engine upon which you can build your own database.
- Gabe
This is really true for any cloud data solutions -- Hadoop does this for you but with Java/Pig/... instead of Erlang

Feature Request: provide a method for limiting a search to just your home feed.
Amit Patel, Maxim Grinev, Shevonne and 5 other people liked this
Home feed doesn't show up in the drop-down menu when one does an advanced search, and I'm not sure what the correct term would be, if there is any, for using the list: operator. It'd be nice to search it just like any other list.
- Mark Trapp
As the homefeed is just like any other friends list that allows you to remove and add feeds I think this would be a very good idea.
- Kol Tregaskes
If you go to your feed, and try to search for something, you don't get something saying "Search [term] in [yourusername] results? Or you can use "from:[username]"
- Shevonne
Shevonne, from:<username> only shows entries that user has posted. I think Mark is suggesting a kind of "list:homefeed" operator like we have for all our user-generated lists.
- Kol Tregaskes
Oh...I guess I don't use lists, so that is why I didn't understand. Gotcha...Sorry Mark!
- Shevonne

- Kol Tregaskes
Just add everyone & everything to "Home" and "pseudohome" and when you want to search do it from "pseudohome" until friendfeed adds that feature.

NEW BLOG POST: Monitoring Content Can't Be This Easy. LazyFeed Says It Can. http://blog.thelettertwo.com/2009...
Maxim Grinev and Louis Gray liked this
Today, Google engineers announced a technology called PubSubHubbub that makes RSS/Atom more real-time, and they deployed the technology on FeedBurner. FriendFeed also added support for the technology, so if you have a FeedBurner feed, your updates should show up in FriendFeed within seconds rather than minutes after the feed updates.
Danny Peck, Donald Townsend, ZSV and 244 other people liked this
To enable it for your FeedBurner feed: go to Feedburner, click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "PingShot" and enable the PingShot service. That will enable PubSubHubbub and send your feed to a number of ping services.

- Egon Willighagen
Nice tech, strange name though. Wonder if Google has a projectname generator, feeds it some foundation words, and then watches it spew out 1,835391 suggestions in 20-sized chunks? Too bad they didn't pick up PubSubBuzz instead, rhymes better. Also, what was EVER WRONG with PubSubHubris? (fresh and full of promise).
- ianf ⌘
This tech has been around for ages. It's getting much needed promotion right now, but it's not new. The name comes from XMPP's pubsub mechanism, with hubbub on the end. The option for PingShot has also been in Feedburner for months.
- Marlin Forbes
I think that unless you have installed the pubsubhubbub plugin for wordpress, that feedburner still polls your content. It pushes your content out to other interested parties using the new mechanism, but it will still poll your feed. Correct?

Also, I don't know think it would take a whole lot of work to make (strip) android and make it work based on a browser and maybe...
more...
- Tim Hoeck
Whatever it is it will need to address media - both consumable (think Netflix) and personal (my photos and my mp3s). Not to mention Google needs to get their head on straight about Android branding.
- Hayes Haugen
First reaction is that it is a misstep to separate this from their Android efforts.
- Hayes Haugen
Android has to be closer to an OS than Chrome, since it is actually on OS. Chrome does device management etc? An OS does a lot more than execute javascript in processes.
- Todd Hoff
I think currently the only OS that doesn't have a security hole is one that is locked in a closet with no network connectivity and no input or output devices.

Dave misses that FriendFeed search can be constrained by groups of people YOU pick. This is the real "track" that Steve Gillmor keeps talking about. Oh, and by the way, my blog items (via RSS) get into FriendFeed within 60 seconds. Anyone figure out how I do that?
- Robert Scoble
I agree with Dave, though. Real Time search raises more questions than it answers and FriendFeed's UI has too much duplication and not enough tools to help you manage it. Until that happens it's going to be as geeky as a command line interface. Lots of people will use it, yes, but there's something better out there and the minute a company figures it out we'll go "of course" just like we did when we saw the Mac UI.

I think I'm going to scream if I hear "track" again - someone please define it for me
- Jesse Stay
Wow, great work!
- Meryn Stol
I stand in awe of your hackfullness.
- Ted Gilchrist
Good work. Much-anticipated.
- Louis Gray
@Jesse: It's a dead twitter command "track keyword" sends you realtime updates whenever the word is used. Think of it like realtime google alerts for friendfeed.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I'm pretty sure Gillmor et al kept calling it "track" because that's what Twitter called it back when they had it for a week.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
On a related note, live embeddable searches mean that I can hack together my own FF embeds for the pages that don't have them yet, like say "comment:dpritchett" http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, Twitter never had this - this isn't "track"
- Jesse Stay
you guys rock.
- Karoli
...wowsers! Very nice!
- JA Castillo
The blogpost said they're working to implement "keyword notifications" Jesse, that will be "track"
- Frankie Warren
Twitter's brought back track, it's just no one cares. You can now have updates by keyword on Twitter pushed to you, via XMPP, just like track used to. Gillmor says that's not track.
- Jesse Stay
That's why I hate the term "track" - no one knows what it is. The way Paul is explaining it, as real-time search, is a much better way of explaining it.
- Jesse Stay
I guess we're still missing the realtime notifications piece that folks want. You can shape the firehose to watch terms in realtime but you can't yet get it pushed outside of FF via email or IM?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, Twitter has that right now, but Gillmor says that's not track
- Jesse Stay
/me prints up a few hundred "That's not track!" t-shirts
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Killer feature. I'm watching news about Honduras scrolling by. Very useful.
- Chris Baskind
Jesse: Oh, i'm with you... Real-Time Search is a better term :)
- Frankie Warren
BTW, integrating this into my blog right now
- Jesse Stay
Me too Jesse. Making a new static page for that comment:dpritchett search I mentioned
- Daniel J. Pritchett
this is definitely cool and all, but what about API? We are falling way behind on feature sets :)
- Tim Hoeck
It's like an alternative to watching TV, in a literary sort of way.
- Ted Gilchrist
awesome!:)
- m.0
kewl!
- phil baumann
Yay! This is the killer feature (once it's in the API, of course ;)
- Brandon Titus
I'd love to see a blog post about how this is implemented. Real-time search has some interesting problems.
- Chris Lamprecht
I take it back - I can't integrate this into my blog until I can filter it to a single list. I really need an embed for "comment:dpritchett list:e20" except lists are still virtual in that no one other than me can see them unless I use the atom export.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Awesomeness! I'm loving this right now.
- Anthony K. Valley ©
Wow you guys rock!
- Alfredo
I am sloooooooooooow. But what/where is the template to make the embeddable widget. please?
- Marg Uerite
You're right Jesse - it's not exactly Track but it's getting a lot closer. The old Twitter Track allowed you to set up multiple search terms (e.g. track iphone) and get those delivered to your IM with zero time lag. At any time you could type "track" to see what you're currently tracking and "untrack" to untrack something - e.g. "untrack iphone". There are some third party tools that...
more...
- Mike Doeff
Paul, is there a way to change the title of the embed? The long search string looks kinda bad.
- Jesse Stay
Mike, Twitter offers that today. Gillmor says it's not Track.
- Jesse Stay
Marg, after you do a search, click the "Share / embed search" link to get the embed code.
- Dan Hsiao
Jesse, are you sure? Can you provide a URL describing this feature? I think you're referring to Twitter Search (and saved searches) which is totally different.
- Mike Doeff
Mike, it's in beta and available to developers, but it's back, minus SMS support: http://staynalive.com/article...
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, when / where did Gillmor say that isn't track? I'm pretty sure that Steve just wants the old track brought back, with some filtering capabilities added (the old Track didn't filter out blocked accounts).
- Mike Doeff
Yay! Have been eagerly awaiting this. :)
- Rick Turoczy
Mike, he's said in various comments. Looks like Track to me... Heck, it's even called "track".
- Jesse Stay
BTW this is on staynalive.com now (look in the sidebar): http://staynalive.com/

for my italian friends: stica...

from fftogo
Jesse - you can hide the ugly search bar with a little quick CSS - it's <h1> under an easily identified class.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from IM
Daniel, good idea - I'd love to change the title more than that though.
- Jesse Stay
just a few minutes work and I have a FriendFeed realtime search embedded in a blog http://www.amsterdam20.nl (web 2.0 event)
- Jeroen De Miranda
Yeah
- Brian Sullivan
FF guys: we like your style :) --- way to go!!

I think I'm going to cry

I want to 'Like' this *twice*! many thanks!

The first step in a storystreaming platform!
- Kevin Sablan
Whoa. Wow. And Yes! Fantastic work, FF team.
- Micah Wittman
Good stuff although should support negative operators such as I should able to search my name in the all posts NOT coming from me. I've tried "from:-username" but it doesn't seem to work.
- Ferruh Mavituna
OK, you guys are wicked talented! It's kind of scary, but I love it. So what's next? Just kidding:)
- Michael Fidler
Ferruh: you just have it a bit backwards... try -from:username instead :)
- Ross Miller
WOOOOOOOOOOW. Friendfeed is really pushing some cool features out :). Friendfeed is the best :)
- alfred westerveld
How can we embed FriendFeed search?
- Mike Reynolds
Mike - There's a link at the top of the search just beneath the red bar.
- Mitch
A box will pop up, take the HTML code from the bottom of that box.
- Mitch
Thanks Mitch!
- Mike Reynolds
Nice the embedding code can be dynamic.... <iframe src="http://friendfeed.com/search..." frameborder="0" height="600" width="400" style="border:1px solid #aaa"></iframe>
- Mike Reynolds
Thanks @Ross it works fine now, love the RSS output.

Woo! So: will this cause a FF server meltdown anytime soon?
- Tim Tyler
very good!
- standin
Highly addictive--great stuff! I did notice that if you do a search like [google] you'll see dupe stories streaming by quite a bit (e.g. the TechCrunch story about Google Voice shows up over and over right now). Not sure if it's possible to de-dupe based on destination url a little bit more?
- Matt Cutts
two months after redesign, we have access to real-time search. good news bc my preferred search engine is friendfeed. ;)

We are there, in the battle against Twitter

Best search engine became better :)

I can't say enough how amazing this is. So, I ordered a bottle of real-time translation to go with this magnificent feast of real-time search :D http://friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Micah Wittman
Just to show what is possible now with this feature, I've built SteroidFeed: Go here to see it as well as download the files: http://friendfeed.com/lph... Latest version is 1.01.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
It's amazing!
- Lizunlong
I've been waiting for this since the new UI, excellent, thank you Paul and FF! I'll give this a play later. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Micah, really looking forward to having your scripts work in Chrome. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
This is great. Well done, guys.

Awesome :D
