You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend.
- Bret Taylor
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.
- Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email.

Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included?
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest.
- Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...)
- Mitchell Tsai
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry!
- Bret Taylor
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"?

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution.
- Kathy Fitch
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments?
- Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count!
- Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-)
- Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists)
- Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :)

Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks!

Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too.

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).
- Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed ..

"5. Mariah has a five octave range. Her voice is an alto; she can cover all the octaves between an alto and a soprano. According to the BBC, "Such a range is so unusual because the human voice is very limited and we use only a small part of it. This makes it very difficult to expand the vocal range and articulate such high notes. Exploiting the range we do have comes down to physical aspects, like body structure and the length of vocal cords, technique and psychological attitude."

Also, not to get all side-tracked and emotional, but this is when I knew FriendFeed was more than just your average socnet. You were in the military, obviously and we had interacted a bit but then you were stationed overseas AND I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU. You talked about running (either not being able to or running all of the time?) and I was like aren't we at war? I was so concerned cause that's just how I am and then you were back and I was so proud of you. Anyway. Emotional. Happy birthday.

Awww, shucks man. I was running several days a week along the (inside of) the fence line of our base in Afghanistan armed occasionally with a cell phone but usually just my ID. I was more worried about being run over by big ass vehicles than anything else. Sounds silly but I really did appreciate your concern. :) C'mere ya big lug. *big two-armed hug*

"by Deutsche Grammophon. Karajan was there, inviting everybody. And everybody was there: Bernstein, Giulini, Solti, all these super “monsters” were gathering; and even more important, at the same festival. Salzburg, during the Karajan times, was the Olympus; all the greatest conductors, best stage directors, best singers. So to arrive to Salzburg in those years, where the entire city was full of posters of the conductors and singers… and to see your face in the shop windows, was a kind of proof that something important happen"

I love hard boiled eggs....my GI system does not. Just the whites for me.
- Mary Carmen
Everybody, we now know what to send Holly for her birthday. Dozens upon dozens of hard boiled eggs.
- Akiva
I love hard-boiled eggs. I eat them a few times a week, like this morning for breakfast, or sliced on a sandwich.
- John (bird whisperer)
Akiva, that would put you on the fast track to the top of The List.
- holly #ravingfangirl
this is one of the few foods that i hate in every way - taste, smell, texture. the whole package.
- holly #ravingfangirl
I almost always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge for sudden onset snackage. Bit of Baconsalt, bit of grains of paradise? Flawless victory.
- Akiva
I love the yolks. The texture of the whites can be a little rubbery, but I push through it. I prefer a good egg salad, really.

I have those - with a little salt and pepper - for breakfast at least one or two days a week. High-impact protein without mess, what can be better?

LOL. also, i have no idea how me judging you gets you more, but... go on with your bad self.
- holly #ravingfangirl
If you are judging me, you aren't eating them yourself, are you? No, of course not! This means that there are more yummy eggs for me to boil until they are nice and hard and then eat. That's how you judging me gets me more eggs. It's not really about the judging. It's about you being too icked out to eat my share. Or your share. Which I presume I could have?
