Improve FriendFeed for your friends by recommending subscriptions - FriendFeed Blog
"As a devoted FriendFeed user, I have tried to convince all of my friends and family to join the site, but a handful of them never quite got their accounts set up properly. With our new Recommend friends feature, I can fix their FriendFeed experience by recommending subscriptions to them." Try it out at http://friendfeed.com/friends... - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
Nice! Friends, please send me recommendations :) - joey
Excellent feature, gooood idea! - Susan Beebe
Very cool =) - FFing Enigma
Cool stuff. - Mike Bracco
Uh, it tells me that Scoble, among others, could use the recommendations. WTF? Perhaps I have too few subscriptions for this to work. - Fred Yankowski
more good stuff - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Finally a better recommendation - directeur
I'd still love an "e-mail this item" feature, similar to Google Reader. - Jesse Stay
great idea! - Edwin Khodabakchian
Cool! Beats the heck out of #followfriday!! - Larry Hawes
What am I supposed to get when I click the 'recommend friends' link on someone's pop-up? Currently, the popup just goes away and I don't get directed anywhere else. - FFing Enigma
Fred: yah, unfortunately, you can only recommend people who you are subscribed you and who are also subscribed back to you. - Bret Taylor
Mark, I didn't submit a bug report since what is supposed to happen wasn't actually spelled out on the blog post or here; this might be the intended functionality... I hope not, but it's possible. - FFing Enigma
Tina: it is supposed to pop up a dialog. Sorry for the trouble - we will look into it. - Bret Taylor
At first I did not understand this, but now that I am checking it out, it is brilliant and addresses much of what we have complained about. NOW what will we complain about? - Liza + = ?
Just to confirm Bret, the first image in the blog post is what the pop up is supposed to look like, right? Because that's nothing like what the ff.com/recommend page looks like.... - FFing Enigma
I notice that new subscriptions are automatically added to one's home feed. I consider that kind of a bug. - Meryn Stol
Tina: yes, that is correct. The http://friendfeed.com/friends... page is just a list of people that we think could use some friend recommendations since they have few subscriptions. If you click on any of the "Recommend" links on that page, you will see the same, standard "Recommend friends" dialog. - Bret Taylor
User-driven...I like. - Josh Haley
Where would we find recommendations that others suggest to us? - Fred Yankowski
@Bret, who receive the recommandation see also who is the recommender? - Roberto
Fred: You will receive an email as well as a notification on the top of your feed. - Ross Miller
Roberto: yes, they see who recommended - Bret Taylor
Bret, if I recommend friends to people who haven't signed in for a long time, will they get email? A lot of my bored friends are not active FF users I think. (quite logical) - Meryn Stol
Not getting the pop-over when I click 'recommend' on the friendfeed.com/friends/recommend page either... FFox 3.0.12 if it's relevant. - FFing Enigma
and can I see who has accepted my recommendation? - Roberto
Roberto: You won't be notified if they accept/deny as the recommender. - Ross Miller
Ross: Ah, it just appeared on my feed. Cool. (And thanks Meryn) - Fred Yankowski
Meryn: yes, they will get an email with your recommendations - Bret Taylor from email
Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :) - Meryn Stol
hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life.... - Bob DeMarco
I would like that deal, too, Scoble. I like this a lot. - Ben Hanten
Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily. - Natsuki Seika
Definitely better than #followfriday. - Bernie Goldbach
As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user? - Kol Tregaskes
better - solncee

FriendFeed API v2 officially launching - http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009...
"Two weeks ago, we launched version 2 of the FriendFeed API in beta. Since then, we've watched how developers have been using the API and collected a lot of their feedback. We've implemented some changes, and now, we're ready to remove the beta label!" - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
A two weeks beta in the 2.0 era sounds almost blasphem! Congrats! - Simone Ruffilli
Congrats to Ben and Gary for all their hard work getting this out the door. And thanks to all the developers who have been sending us great feedback the past couple weeks. - Bret Taylor
now.we.play /-) - Nicolas Voisin
Bret - Think we'd all be interested in a longer list as more apps make use of the API. Great stuff - Charlie Anzman

ISMB/ECCB
Keynote: Bonnie Berger - Computational biology in the 21st century: making sense out of massive data
ISMB/ECCB 2011 kicked off, Michal Linial is introducing the first keynote speaker - Venkata P. Satagopam
algorithmic challenges to increasingly massive amounts of data - how to avoid situation becoming intractable? - Shannon McWeeney
Berger showing a graph where data are growing faster than computational powere can handle (MIPS vs. bases / day) - Iddo Friedberg
10 fold increase in sequencing vs doubling in computing capacity - Shannon McWeeney
Not just a bigger cloud -- > need better algorithms - Iddo Friedberg
3 challenges areas - compression, signal from noise, patterns across species - Shannon McWeeney
Need to exploit fact that "new" data is similar - utilize redundancy "compressive genomics" - Shannon McWeeney
Work directly on compressed data rather than compress --> decompress - Iddo Friedberg
use case from fly genomes - Shannon McWeeney
Compression accelerated blast caBLAST - Shannon McWeeney
Redundancy in genomics can be exploited --> CaBLAST. Works on compressed data. Size of compressed DB is proportional to the size of non-redundant data - Iddo Friedberg
coarse analysis on compressed data - refined analysis on relevant regions - Shannon McWeeney
Run time much faster - Iddo Friedberg
never have to uncompress - potential for huge gains - Shannon McWeeney
use case 2: signal from noice (medical genomics) - Shannon McWeeney
Can't find cablast online... - Iddo Friedberg
Berger moving to NCBI GEO and medical trasncriptomics - Iddo Friedberg
Indexing GEO using UMLS -- Unified Medical Language System from NCBI - Iddo Friedberg
UMLS is an ontology of medical concepts.http://www.nlm.nih.gov/researc... - Iddo Friedberg
Concept enrichment in umls tool: concordia - Iddo Friedberg
Using UML and Concordia to analyze tumor origin - Iddo Friedberg
Thanks for the coverage! - Ruchira S. Datta
Lab has several interesting tools like IsoRank, IsoRankN, Struct2Net, RNAicut, Mangoose and more - Venkata P. Satagopam
(network connection is bit bad) - Venkata P. Satagopam

Heard a great story today. Manuscript rejected 4 times (w/o review) because it had "too many Polish names on it". #cultureofscience
\o/ - Graham Steel
Matt, welcome to the world outside of the Commonwealth ;). In case anybody wonders, none of these were PLoS or BMC journals. - Pawel Szczesny
BTW, Neil says it happens down under too http://twitter.com/#!... - Pawel Szczesny
No way!!! - Björn Brembs from iPhone
I've heard similar anecdotes about reflexive dismissal of manuscripts because the authors come from a particular country or region, or because you can tell from the style and grammar that the authors' first language isn't English. I'd argue that this is reason not for hiding author names from reviewers but for making reviewer identities known. - Bill Hooker
how do you know it was because of the names ? - Pedro Beltrao
Pedro, experts in the field praised the idea when received privately the manuscript, yet it's being rejected within at most 6 hours from sending is (the shortest was 45 minutes) - it's clear that a gatekeeper didn't read past the title, author names and affiliations. The quote is actually from one of the experts - he mentioned exactly that reason as a major flaw of the paper. - Pawel Szczesny
My husband's cousin found that he had applications accepted when he wrote "Thor" instead of his real first name, Ihor. I wonder if, as an experiment, you could submit a paper as Paul Chesney - prove that the papers are getting rejected because of the national origin of the authors, and do some sort of expose? By the way, if any of these are US-based journals, you might even be able to sue or something. - Christina Pikas
Here's a study of AJR's acceptance rates by country: http://www.ajronline.org/cgi..., also see this BJP editorial: http://bjp.rcpsych.org/cgi.... If a journal or editor is a member of WAME (World Association of Medical Editors) and they're making decision based on country of origin then they're explicitly breaching their policies:... more... - Matt Hodgkinson
Matt, thanks a lot for the pointers. I've forwarded them to my colleagues. - Pawel Szczesny
