Find Friendfeeders Across The Web - v0.1 - http://haochen.me/ffweb/

This tool finds all the sites that your Friendfeed friends use and allows you to filter the results by service.

from Bookmarklet
Please test, and let me know if it works. Suggestions gladly welcome.
- Hao Chen
Wow.
- Rah-PM 2012
Hao, this is awesome! Remember how people were saying in the FF Feedback room, how they'd like services to be linked, but not important the feeds? THIS is the temp. solution. WOW. Are you going to implement a way to filter individually?
- Mona Nomura
It doesn't actually do that, Mona. If your account is in Friendfeed, it goes into your feed. Hao Chen is merely making it easier to get the URLs from FriendFeed.
- Mark Trapp
Looks great. I guess I'll have to look into Social Graph API a bit deeper. It's so much faster than FF API for network data.
- Benedikt Koehler
Oops, I meant UN-LINK services so it'll stop pulling into their feed BUT still enable their friends to link to their respective accounts. Thank you for catching that, Mark.
- Mona Nomura
Great job Hao
- Zee.
It should be possible to use the Social Graph API to find services that are not imported into Friendfeed as well as friends' services not on FF. It's a bit tricky because it requires a lot of separate requests. Right now, it's only using the SG API to find your subscriptions across the services you import on FF.
- Hao Chen
Thanks, just don't look at the source code. LOL

Very cool. However, my tiny brain is not grokking " Remove Connections Already Subscribed To". Please to explain.
- Laura Norvig
Laura, it's not very accurate, but it's supposed to remove links to people's accounts on the other networks you already subscribe to. For example, if I already subscribe to Bob on Twitter, it might remove the link to Bob's Twitter page in the big list.

How does that work?I type in some user name in it,nothing happen...
- Steve Chou
Steve, what browser are you using? Any JavaScript errors?
- Hao Chen
Glad to hear you guys are finding uses for it. @Russell Right now, the list of services it displays is the list of services being imported by people's FF accounts, and since Blip.fm isn't a supported service yet, I can't add that in easily. I'll think about how to use the Social Graph API more effectively to do those things though.

This is just excellent, not wholly accurate like you say but brilliant. Now all I need is to add more contacts on FF ;-)

Notice that for all the women they soften the jaw, while squaring it for men. Everyone also gets a slightly thinner face and upturned almost smiling lips.

- accexine
Lindsay: whenever sketching generic faces, the face starts as an inverted triangle and the eyes appear a third of the way down from the top of the forehead; lips and nose appear below and above (respectively) a line 1/3 up from the chin. Looks like these pictures are rearranged to meet that particular school of drawing.

The artist proportions were laid out by the Greeks as the perfect human, that's not being used here. This beautification engine, I think, builds on top of a previous study where some students tried to mathematically identify attractiveness. They had participants rate the attractiveness of head shots from yearbooks. What they found was there was a high correlation b/w the geometrically "average" face and high attraction. That "average" is based on the proportions of the di
- xero
stances between the individual elements of the face and their relative sizes. IIRC the software adjusts elements so they statistically/geometrically complement each other. It's not actually working toward a golden set of proportions, but a set of proportions appropriate for the individual as defined by the masses. I wouldn't think of it as "facial discrimination" so much as "deviation from ones potential".

Point blank. You are a moron if you ride without a helmet. Sorry, but that's true and you're just going to play into Darwinian theory should you continue to ride without one.

This isn't as extreme as this but when I fell off my bike onto a sidewalk and broke my arm, I thought I was fine for a while.

I realized that if I wasn't wearing my helmet on the 2 minute trip down the road, I probably wouldn't be typing this comment right now! Not that I'd be dead but I would have suffered some head damage, limiting my ability to do most things.

Twitter's Cap of 2,000 Following In Action!
Jacob, dgw, Sullivan and 56 other people liked this
As mentioned earlier today, Twitter seems to have capped your ability to follow at 2,000 people, which just so happens to be exactly where I am. The goal, in theory, is to stop marketing-oriented spammers, but it could be another way to reduce stress on the system. So what should I do now, delete "less favored" people, or wait for Twitter to figure this out?

- Louis Gray
Twitter needs to build in groups functionality a la tweetdeck for following 2K+ to even be practical.
- Nicholas Molnar
Louis: You need to convince the new people to head over here :)
- Justin Korn
I'm just curious what the rationale is for following that many people.
- Paul Rodriguez
Well, maybe that's why Louis always seems to know what's going on before anybody else.
- Rah-PM 2012
I've noticed that most of the time I get followed by somebody with a big number, it tends to be marketing play. It triggers the email to you and then you go look and click on their bio link which takes you to the pitch. Very irritating. I always block em.
- Mark Schulz
@Paul Rodriguez, I was wondering that too. I wouldn't have even guessed there are 2000 interesting people in the world </cynicism>, but what fascinate me is that i'm following like 83 people and only about 14 of them tweet regularly. I can assume most of those 2000 do not tweet regularly. Add in the fact that I'm a WAHM to two toddlers, and do other stuff, there'd be a lot of stuff I'd miss.

Very interesting. System limits is going to be a topic that we all work through in this early phase of the Social Web. It seems to me that it's reasonable to cap the number one follows to 1,000 or 2,000. On the flipside, one would clearly like to enable a very high number of followers. With respect to bi-directional connections, the real number should max at 1,000 to 2,000...
- John McCrea
So where is the point following 30k people? You might as well hit the main timeline. The only thing that is bad about this limit is that it was not there from the beginning.
- Alexander Kohlhofer
@kevinrose: 56K+. Losing 54K+?
- Igor Poltavskiy
so what's going to happen to those who follow over 2000?
- Wayne Sutton
you follow two. thousand. people.??? never mind twitter; there may be a law against that.
- jeneane sessum
I like the new limit. I cannot see how anyone would be able to legitimately follow (and pay attention to) more than 2,000 people. Frankly, even that limit seems higher than it needs to be. If it helps keep Twitter a little more stable, go for it.
- Dennis Metzcher
Couple thoughts: the limit impacts the ability to use the service as a direct message router -- for some people. It also reinforces the need for dectralized microblogging -- so if you want exceed the limits you can do so on your own infrastructure. Lastly, nothing prevents you from following everyone or a subset of people through RSS/feeds.
- Chris Messina
Are we sure that Twitter has set a 2,000 limit are or we cranking up the rumor mill? I've seen image before with respect to my own account - an account which just reached 1,000 followers today. According the Twitter rep who contacted me, I got - ahem - put in "Twitter Prison" for "Aggressive Following" My ratio of Followers to Following was kinda out of whack - at that time I had only ~800 people following me while I was following ~2,800 - They suspended my ability to follow more people. I removed 2K.
- Vincent Wright
I don't understand the motivation for following 2K people if you're not a spammer... someone explain?
- Jason Carreira
Jason: For a entrepreneur/VC/angel networker, it would be very easy to hit 2,000 contacts (assuming you used Twitter like a rolodex). From one networking meeting, I might pick up 0-100+ business cards (more at conferences), and during a heavy season I could be doing 7-10 meetings/week. As a angel, I might want to follow 5,000-10,000+ projects/people. Anyone might have a really good project 2-10+ years down the pipe... I've got cartons/boxes of 3-ring binders of business cards in plastic sheets.
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mitchell @Charlie - Rumors aside, do you think the cap is a gesture towards monetization? Going after the power networkers? Seems you would have good cause to pay for a Twitter Pro, or would it just not be worth it?
- joneilortiz
I use Twitter as both a professional development tool (following people who say useful and interesting things abt health / edtech / social media / libraries ...), a personal tool (friends and folk who are amusing), and a reference tool (following a lot of news streams and information resources). You can hit 2000 fast. A friend says that people are imagining new ways in which Twitter could be used, but Twitter seems bound and determined to force them back into some small box of how it "ought" to be.
- Patricia F. Anderson
I would happily follow more than 2000 people, heck I am almost there. And I don't need to see every message. With Tweetdeck it's manageable. I see some Friendfeed users here have thousands to tens of thousands of subscriptions, should we also say it's good to have a cap here? No, please no. I understand that perhaps it has to do with monetization or stressing the system less, these are alas viable reasons.

Mo: I've got a lot of Australian friends, but it's a big country (duh). It'd be cool if Facebook allowed 2-3-4-5-6-level searches because we don't have any Facebook friends in common yet, so we're at least 2-degrees apart (aside from knowing each other through FriendFeed).
- Mitchell Tsai
I guess 2+ level searches are easy to implement, but simply take too much resources to run. I've seen it with FFSixDegrees. It's no problem to include the 3rd order network of a person, but then I would have to work through not only 500 but 20,000 contacts. Anyway, I would guess that you can reach the whole network with 4 steps.

[Mon 8/4/08 1:24 pm EDT 7:25 pm CEST-German time] Benedikt: I just regenerated my diagram with your link. Sorry I forgot to do that before I went to sleep last night. You can trace your connections on my Nexus now (through Timo Heuer, Mike Fruchter, and Susan Beebe). I like tracing the 2-3-4-5-6 level connections of people through the different areas of the network. Love to see a Nexus-like thing for FriendFeed. Maybe you can talk with the Nexus people to share code?
- Mitchell Tsai
There are a lot of unexpected connections between my friends on Facebook & LinkedIn. Many surprises! Mona: How did you meet Alex Perlman? Do you guys know each other in person, or via Internet? Chances are we have more friends in common...they're just not on Facebook. Only 5-7% of my real-life friends are on Facebook.
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mitchell: Nexus is great, I have something quite similar in mind. But there is a difference between the 2-3-4-5-6 level connections in this graph and the "true" 2-3-4-5-6 degree connections as in the 6 degrees thesis. In the first case the network consists of the actual links between your FB contacts. In the second case, the shortest links between people would be calculated using all FB users. In the nexus, say, Benjamin Golub and Alex Perlman are 3 nodes apart. Using all FB the distance would be less.
- Benedikt Koehler
Benedikt: Good observation about the distances. Real-world connections would be even more different. Two communities show up very strongly interconnected in my Facebook (dance & FriendFeed), but they also are heavy social networking groups. My family/relatives are light social networkers, so you don't see a dense concentration of relatives (I have ~60 1st cousins, 26 aunts/uncles, etc...),

@ajbatac here's a challenge for you :) in this widescreen version, move images to the right so that the post text and comments float to the left of them. I'm not sure i'll actually like that but i'd like to see how it looks (and i'm too lazy to play around with it myself any more :) but I'm thinking it'll help space the post better. Also, WRT to the ".subscribebar", i added the class to the ".bar" class and it made it light and nicely consistent with the other headers. Just another option. Thanks again.
- ·[▪_▪]·

No, sorry, it only moves filters and subscriptions even farther to the right.and makes the text look very tiny and lost.

CleanerFriendFeed? The whole concept is built on a fallacy that the wider the text column, the easier it will be to read it. Wonder if you've ever heard of saccadic eye motion, i.e. the very mechanism by which we, representatives of genus Homo Sapiens, scan and acquire text in 50-to-60-something character chunks, "saccades." Having to scan across entire wide monitor actually lowers comprehension and the reading rate. The narrow main text column in the Beta release is actually close to perfection.
- ianf ⌘
Ianf ⌘ Not everybody who has good reading comprehension reads this way. And with respect, I've read of too many scientific studies that will refute themselves the next year, several years later or not even that long. But I appreciate the group who can read in this manner.

Okay, so it’s not really a blueberry cheesecake but I didn’t know what else to call it J. It does have some delicious blueberry pie filling on it though. This is the cheesecake that I made this year for Thanksgiving. After all, what could be better for Thanksgiving dessert than a cheesecake? It was so good and it absolutely got devoured in no time. The highlight of this cheesecake is the crust. The crust is a combination of vanilla wafers and 3 different types of nuts – almonds, walnuts and pecans. A great way to make the crush is to crush all of the ingredients with a rolling pin. I feel the addition of lemon juice in the filling makes a huge difference in the overall flavor, and a little vanilla doesn’t hurt either. If you are looking for a delicious cheesecake recipe give this one a try. You don’t be disappointed. Enjoy.

Yeah, seriously using the Twitter website for Twitter is like driving a car out of the factory with just wheels bolted to the engine, nothing else. The API is there but you're only getting the bare magic without the proper experience.

But, I keep going back to the twitter web interface. It's a matter of critical mass of something something.
- Mike Nayyar
@vivek ... case in point... people transform technologies to be useful... they have done so with twitter, they will do so with ff... being part of the GSM spec means nothing... handsets had to support it and support for it grew after a lont time and bitwise... look at the practical uses, not theoretical papers, if you want to understand trending (as opposed to "possibility").

Stella McCartney was inspired to create Lucky Spot as a response to the beauty of Belsay Castle with it’s medieval architecture and mystical quarry garden. According to Belsay Castle officials, “she wanted to create something magical, romantic and visually stunning. She designed a jewelled curtain of thousands of Swarovski crystals that hung in the shape of a horse from the ceiling in the Castle’s Great Hall

What a load of blather. Male geeks aren't very good at thinking like non-male non-geeks - this is not news. But declaring dramatically in this way that "the Semantic Web may end up being gender biased" is making a storm in a teacup. The phone book "example" is clearly not relevant to today's situation. By the way, regarding the phrase "Some argue that..." sorry, but over on Wikipedia we call those weasel words.

Also, from the linked interview: "Alison Adam analyzed the well-known ontology CYC... She revealed that the knowing subject implicitly assumed by the system is a white, middle-class male professional." Oh really. Check out this excerpt of a review of where she said it: http://muse.jhu.edu/login...
- hex
In fact, Google Books has a preview of Adam's book. (http://books.google.co.uk/books...) Quote: "...the AI idea of search and goal seeking... harks back to Aristotelian notions of goals, and can also be seen in terms of the phallocentric urge to a unitary goal described by postmodernist thought."

I like the piece. My take on the future of social media: "Better than Real-life". This will be the guiding principle. Of course social media can't beat "air" and physical proximity for every use case, but it will do so in increasingly more areas. The clever mediated interaction models will keep growing with audio and video always at your disposal.
- Meryn Stol
The reason we turn to social media is that for some use cases, it's better than "real-life" interaction. Geographical distance is no concern, and conversation can develop asynchronously. Then we have conversation-discovery through search, etc, etc.
- Meryn Stol
While I agree with your three key points, I am worried that the advent of greater transparency does the opposite of what one would assume. Much in the same way as Leo Laporte suggested that people can no longer aim to collect all the information themselves, transparency means that while the information is available, those that have the time to ensure that the information is valid become more rare. In such as fashion (as was done in WWII) the shear volume of information is then the barrier to be overcome.
- James Fridley
And so again this argument all comes back to effective filtering (what ever that may be) by peers that we trust (for what ever reason), just so long as it is not just the number of twitter followers...
