Interesting indeed. Are you scanning the entire public feed or just specific users/rooms?
- Yuval Atzmon
One bug I've found: When you type a comment in to the Moopz interface and hit enter, it goes to the next line instead of activating the 'post' button. Confusing.
- Phil G
@atzmon, Moopz tracks specific users and only certain services (the users are the ones that the "Moopz" FF user has subscribed to. The list started with a small list of top conversation starters, but Moopz will subscribe to everyone who logs in via Moopz. To be honest, I am not sure how this approach will work out, but I am intrigued to find out. ;)
- Moopz
@J. Phil, thanks for the bug report. I will look into that. I should also try to setup the handy expandy-textarea feature of FF where the comment box gets bigger if your comment is longer than one line...
- Moopz
Are you planning to add search features? And can you tell a little bit about the person or people behind moopz?
- Yuval Atzmon
@atzmon, I just added a search feature. I am the person behind Moopz. I do Internet marketing, SEO, Movable Type plugin development and more...
- Mark Carey
Moopz or Mark - I like Moopz. I have tried them all now. I would want a tab that had all the features of Moopz but only looked at my subscriptions. Great work!
- Russellreno
BTW I tried search early this morning and it worked well as I recall. The tag cloud is a good addition, but I just proves once again that these sites are 1st tech sites. Instead of the My Friends tab you could do a Food, Music, Celebrity, Politics, Sports tab as an interim step.
- Russellreno
Nice one...I always thought that friendfeed had its own inhouse fragmented conversations...can't wait till you make a personalised version, unless FF beat you to it...and conversations by topic make this the new technorati tags (well a machine tag version)
- John Tropea
Much cleaner interface than techmeme.

Cool stuff, I love the idea of how likes are comments, forcing you to discuss. Good way to really auto-fill the documents ;p
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
Thank you Igor! Now fixed. Unfortunately it looks like the error was there since June 2 .... argh ;)
- Moopz
Moopz is FriendFeed's Techmeme :-) I'm liking it.
- Miguel Caetano
So My Journalists/News Peeps should weigh in here. Does this MOOPZ service limit the openness of your friendfeed by hearling only what the majority of folks are talking about?, eg. like the 6 o'clock local evening news aggregates what is "hot" topics that appeal to locals? This could be a great simplifier for the newscasters, but also make their content less interesting.
- derikp
Derik, since Moopz gathers info from friendfeed, and does not intrude on my personal account, it does not limits the openness of my personal of "my" friendfeed. It *might* serve as a way for non-friendfeed users to consume ff content without the need to join and jump into the stream.

@moopz - can you please merge/summarize the Likes like Friendfeed by default? I very much like the conversation merging but listing all the likes is noisy. Thanks.
- Jauder Ho
@Jauder, yes I was thinking about changing the default view for likes, such that the likes would be summarized by default, rather than interspersed with comments. Thanks for the suggestion. Note for those who may not know, there is currently a "display options" link in the top right that you can use to change some of the display settings, including displaying Likes as comments.
- Moopz
I figured that out right after posting. =)
- Jauder Ho
@Jauder, I have now changed the default view for Likes, so now the default is the summary of Likes, rather than interspersed with comments.
- Mark Carey
Looks like it's a pretty cool site, I don't like that it makes a new line for each new 'like'
- Aaron Myers
@Aaron, under "display options" you can choose to hide those "likes" lines. That said, I will probably add a "likes summary" element that can shown as an alternative to the interspersed layout....
- Mark Carey
There does not seem to be an option to do a "Like" from Moopz FWIW.
- Jauder Ho
from twhirl
@Jauder, there is an option to Like from Moopz. The Like links only show up after signing in via Moopz with your remote key, however...
