When I try selecting service icons to display on my profile, the list of services scrolls off the bottom without any way for me to scroll down the list.

Try scaling down text size to a minimum, though it may not be enough anyway. It will have to be solved in some other fashion, though preferably not with simple scrolling list

Eric, yep lots of people have raised this issue, so hopefully FF will fix this soon. :-) But agree with Ian above and give that a go as a workaround.
- Kol Tregaskes
Thanks guys. I have tried shrinking the text size, but then I can't tell which service is which. I hope FF fixes this soon.
- Eric Geller
Eric, there's another workaround, though it is taking the problem to the extremes: acquire a second, preferably portrait-form screen and reconfigure main + auxiliary displays as virtually stacked on top of one another [they don't have to be in RL]. Then render the page on both ;-)) I don't know how long is your list of services, but it ought to suffice for 100+ lines.

This was great. It shows he's not actually a journalist, because he's not asking for opinions and information. He knows what answer he wants, and he keeps interrupting them looking for that answer. His frustration at the end is priceless.

I think it would be cool if friendfeed asked if you really wanted to repost a link that had already been posted by anyone else...prompt you with something like "Perhaps you weren't aware, but someone already posted a thread with this link, would you like us to bring you to that thread instead so you can comment and or like it?"

- Manuela

- Erik Gulliksen
I would hate it to be just "somebody else" -- I suspect lots of the same links are posted to different groups but don't cause seeing the same link over and over again -- which I think is what it would be good to prevent. Maybe it could occur based on some algorithm -- posted by someone you subscribe to and potentially seen by some percentage 50? maybe of people that subscribe to you.
- Brian Sullivan
Yeah, Brian, I agree, it shouldn't be mandatory and perhaps it is based on people that you are subscribed to or are in your FOAF sphere, but it would still be good to know, allowing a friendfeeder to make an informed choice.
- Alex Scoble
Good idea. It shouldn't be too difficult.
- Rutger Blom
I like the concept but not for all of FriendFeed. Just tell me about duplicates in my little corner please.
- Seek Ground
SG, I would agree. If it's a duplicate in my "Subscription Circle", I don't want to send it out AGAIN. I've seen a number of posts repeat each other. Some by days, some by minutes.
- CAJ, somewhere else
I agree with Seek Ground
- Soup
I'd agree that that's a good start, although giving me the option to turn it on to all of friendfeed would be great too.
- Alex Scoble
Maybe kshep ' s ffcheck http://beta.friendfeed.com/kshep... bookmarklet could be adapted for a client side hack.
- Micah Wittman
But what would be interesting then is to see how many people shared the same link. Good test for popularity of what you are writing for your FF audience.
- Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
then it wouldn't be any fun pointing out that you already posted the item like, months ago to the person.
- Josh Haley
So in other words, you want Digg.
- Mike Nayyar
Mike, I am now aborting our love child. No, I don't want Digg! Digg sucks. I want friendfeed to have the feature I described above which would not suck and which would increase the awesomeness of friendfeed by 5%!
- Alex Scoble
Josh likes the bitch slap approach.
- Morgan Haley
Yeah this debate is interesting! It's a kind of respect towards the others FFers, but on the other hand, resharing links also enables to share the items for his own circle of friends who do not automatically see your likes.
- Stanislas Jourdan
Meanwhile, there's http://ffcheck.com
- Ken Sheppardson
I thought they'd tried a "similar items from..." before, no? Now all that's left is the similar items when someone's feed brings in multiple references to the same item.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

- Simon Wicks
Wow FFcheck is great indeed!
- Stanislas Jourdan
Now to all of us : do we have to share it or not ;-) ?
- Stanislas Jourdan
Stanislas: Why would you? Just comment on/like an existing entry. ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
that was my point ;-) But this is so great that I want to share this to my friends who may not come here. Would you mind if I reshare it ?
- Stanislas Jourdan
I'd rather if the reshare option credited the original poster.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
If they were to do that, wouldn't it cause the number of comments to sky rocket? I don't know if I'd have the stamina to read that many comments all the time. Could I filter the comments to include only my friends/contacts?

I often reshare a link from Google reader because a heck of a lot more of my friend use Reader than friendfeed. (When asked why not friend feed, their response was --- it's kinda redundant)
- Piaw Na
I like this idea
- (jeff)isageek
The Feedly extension does this to some extent, too. It pulls in FF convos to items you read in Feedly, and has a little floaty thing on every site that tells you if its been posted on digg or FF before (it's not always right, though). You can one-click search for the item on FF as well from the floaty thing, but it searches all of FF. I usually end up narrowing the search to my subscriptions, because I don't care if I double-post some random person's GReader share with my awesome bookmarklet share. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Yeah, well it wouldn't mark a native friendfeed post as being the same as what's coming through greader anyhow. It should (RIGHTLY) give friendfeed native posts priority.
- Alex Scoble
Love the idea of reducing duplicates... sometimes I don't bother posting stuff thinking some one is bound to have shared it already so no need for more noise. But a prompt would be great.
- Sally Church
I don't think it's a good idea. A major reason why FriendFeed is not Reddit is because there are actually multiple clusters of people who associate with each other by choice, rather than one giant one. That's fundamental to the design and is as much the reason why the conversations are good quality as is the so-called 'moderation'. I don't just want to join a conversation about a link - I want to join a conversation with people who *I* think are diverse and intelligent, and I do so by getting my links...
- Robin Barooah
...by subscribing to people who have hosted such discussions before. The so called 'trolls' or just people who I don't understand or benefit from, can associate with people they like and not me and so the community automatically segments itself into groupings that people enjoy.
- Robin Barooah
dups don't bother me. now with things going so much faster, dup checking would slow things down. peeps just need to get over it being "rude" in some way.
- BEX
Now you are just being rude, BEX. ;)
- Alex Scoble
*arms crossed* Hmmph

I would enjoy that Alex. It's very Digg, but useful in keeping the noise down here.

(Jandy - thanks for the feedly feedback. we will make "search my network only" a preference)
- Edwin Khodabakchian
80,000 likes and comments on one post? Don't know if that would add or subtract to the value of the information. Smaller groups of people find each other and coalesce around info they like or wish to comment on. Forcing everyone to meet at the same place might just take away the intimate feel of FriendFeed and turn it into MassFeed. Not sure about this idea.
- Patrick Yaeger
I don't know if I would like it or not... I think an option would be good.
- Evan Travers
I think we just need a link to the others persons that shared the item (for the reasons given by Patrick and Robin)
- Stanislas Jourdan
I think a simple warning to say this post already appears in this or these feeds (with links to those posts so you can comment/like) would be most welcome. FF must be able to do this as the dup detector already does this (the only difference is it does it after posting). Kinda like a Digg duplicate detector. I'd love this!
- Kol Tregaskes
I say Do It!
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
It worked for Digg. It's a good idea, plus it will prevent anyone from yelling "DUPE!".
- Matthew
I'd like it if that link went in my feed too, effectively giving it a bump, but yeah, great idea.
- Chris Nixon
I think the solution isn't too let people know that they are reposting links, but to group similar stories together like Google News or TechMeme with one massive conversation at the top. Yesterday, I wanted to find the FF conversation for the crazy pastor who got beaten by the cops. A quick FF search of his name yielded over 500 links between digg, delicious and tweets. Eventually I found the only one with a conversation attached, but it took way to much searching.
- Davis Freeberg
Another issue arises when different news networks report on the same story: the content is the same but the sources are completely different ie washingtonpost.com vs CNN
- sofarsoShawn
I use either feedly or ffcheck before posting if I see that something has already been posted by someone directly on FF and received comments and likes I don't post it. If I think it is something important and worthwhile I can bump the original entry by adding a comment. Obviously there is a huge amount of duplication with news channel and blogs reporting the same stories but I think there should be inbuilt ways not to see the same things from the same source over and over again.
- M F
yes, i do not say much in case it has been done before, and i missed it.
- Tatty Gibson
Alex: What's the exact problem here? You want to see _every_ comment by anyone posted about a particular link on FF? Or your want to not see the same link posted multiple times in your own feed? I have a feeling that there's a real, solvable problem, but we're missing it because we're focussing on one proposed solution. Feel like starting a new thread?
- Robin Barooah
I've already done a very good job of laying out the problem and the solution. You can feel free to start a new thread for a problem that you have and give your proposed solution.
- Alex Scoble
I agree with bex and most certainly don't think that something that worked for digg should become the punchlist for friendfeed - I use search on title to find similar posts and comment there if makes sense
- mike "glemak" dunn
Great idea for a new feature, I think it would also be worthwhile if FF told you the date that such a link was last shared, and who it was that shared it.
- Garin Kilpatrick
This would be an awesome feature - similar to Diggs in a way and it improved Digg alot by its implementation imo
- Nicholas James
Alex: I've read all of your comments in this thread and I don't see you state what problem you're solving. You say that you'd like the feature of being able to see if someone else has already posted a link so that you can comment there instead of reposting - and you explore this idea. You say clearly *what* you want, but you don't explain why. And honestly, I have no interest in starting my own thread about this, but I am interested in knowing what you are thinking.
- Robin Barooah
Good idea but if I want to post a link that a Scoble had already posted, any discussion I wanted to have with my friends on it would get lost in your discussion. The option should be their but opt in only.
- CJPhoto
That's why it would be voluntary on whether you still post or not, but everyone should be notified that they are about to repost.
- Alex Scoble
This is a noticeable problem when you use Feedly (and also partially solved by it, as I believe someone here has pointed out). Every news item has several different FriendFeed posts related to it :-(
