Experimenting with Friendfeed options for Twitter cross posting
Monday: share FF posts, comments, and Likes to Twitter - Mike Chelen
Tuesday: share FF posts and comments to Twitter, but not Likes - Mike Chelen
Wednesday: share FF posts and Likes to Twitter, but not comments - Mike Chelen
Thursday: share only FF posts to Twitter - Mike Chelen
I don't think it is a good idea to use cross posting because of a lot of duplicate posts which a lot of twitter users don't have interest in or other stuff. A lot of noise or something, but thats' my opinion and I might be weird jacksh*t ;) - alfred westerveld
it makes me really torn, because ff posts can be annoying to read in twitter without any context, yet otherwise all twitter friends are missing out on activities here. one advantage of experimenting could be to help figure out what causes duplicate messages - Mike Chelen
maybe sending only new posts is more comfortable for readers because this matches twitter's behavior of hiding @replies - Mike Chelen

start up the instance: visit AWS console https://console.aws.amazon.com/ and start instance ami-eb46a782 (32 bit ubuntu 9.04 desktop) small ($.10) or high-cpu medium ($.20) recommended - Mike Chelen

connect to the instance as root through ssh - Mike Chelen
partition the disk: cfdisk /dev/sdf - Mike Chelen
format the partition: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdf1 - Mike Chelen

yql128.gif
#yql opentables guide: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql... something similar to sunlight lab's open data table for legislators http://github.com/spullar... - Mike Chelen
source is #CSV file so method would be similar to http://www.yqlblog.net/blog... - Mike Chelen
results would allow creation of RSS feed and other metrics, similar to http://sunlightlabs.com/blog... http://data.sunlightlabs.com/data... http://github.com/sunligh... - Mike Chelen
needed because html scraping such as http://sunlightlabs.com/blog... doesn't work any more since the number of records no longer fit on one page - Mike Chelen

there is a version available on data gov wiki http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/wiki... - Mike Chelen
