We just launched an update to... - Paul Buchheit

There's a bit of a pause in Safari 4 Beta (Webkit) but other than that, it's great. - Akiva

The pause (about 100ms) is intentional so that they don't appear when the mouse is just passing over an entry on the way to get somewhere else. - Paul Buchheit

amazing! You folks are an example of how internet solutions should be done...Quickly, cooperatively and in real-time - Tweet Feeds

Wouldn't mind seeing the hover links appear underneath the user icon rather than on the opposite side of the column. - Akiva

Paul, gotcha. Makes sense. - Akiva

And "To:" In the Bookmarklett!!! - Ken Sheppardson

thanks! - Jay

Just tried it - slick! - Martha

Excellento - Chris Loft

I was wondering where that went. - Michael Fidler

I don't think the 100ms pause helps, it makes it feel slow IMO. Other than that, much improved. - Eric Florenzano

Mama's not happy. http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... - Anika

I like it. Any chance of seeing the changes seen in the reshare box in the general purpose bookmarklet in the immediate future? - Mark Trapp

It's just become much harder to hide a bunch of things quickly. Otherwise it's ok. - Robin Barooah

I think it's fine. Good work. - Jim: coffee enthusiast

Glad it's back. Think it ought to be grouped with the others, or at least everything in the same place. I didn't think the old implementation was lacking much. Maybe something in between? - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

And the bookmarklet has been upgraded so you can share to multiple places! I'm super happy about that. Not so sure about the link placement on the entries, though. I sort of like the contextual visibility, but I think I like it from a "that's cool-looking!" perspective rather than a usability one. Not sure I would've noticed them without your post. - Jandy

Damnit, it has not. If I hit the bookmarklet while on FriendFeed, it shows the reshare box, with the ability to share to multiple places. But if I'm on some other site and hit it, it shows the old one. WUWT? - Jandy

Jandy, I don't see a new bookmarklet at all. - Akiva

The new bookmarklet hasn't launched yet, but it's being use for reshare, which is why you may see it on beta.friendfeed.com (but nowhere else). - Paul Buchheit

Interesting side effect of the links on the right side is a potential for obscuring the author line: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Mark Trapp

Thank You! - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

Don't think I'm a fan of the delay. The links don't obscure anything, so I don't see the harm in showing them immediately. - Jason Wehmhoener

I think maybe the delay should be shortened a bit. - Akiva

Gotta say I'd rather the buttons next to all the other buttons (like, comment, etc), what was the rationale for having them up the top? - Glenn Slaven

YAY!! - FFing Enigma

I would like it if 'hide' ended up back with the other buttons. I use it all the time and I don't want to have to target twice with the pointer (once to bring up the bar and once to hit the link), but link and reshare are much less common operations, so for me it's ok for them to be less accessible. - Robin Barooah

If you want to use the new bookmarklet, open the properties of the link on your browser and change the url from friendfeed.com to beta.friendfeed.com - Glenn Slaven

Glenn, thanks for the tip. I didn't think of that. - Jandy

I do remember that folks never looked under "More" for stuff, but I'm not a fan of having the per-entry actions in two different places :-/. Also, with everything else real time, the delay before the links appear seems sorta disconnected. - Ken Sheppardson

Very cool. - Andrew Leahey

why fail mark? i'm curious - Zee.

can the mouse over effect work even when the cursor is on the white space of a block? - Kishore Balakrishnan

if the "like" is always visible, why not the same for "link reshare hide" - Kishore Balakrishnan

agree kishore - Rob Shillingsburg

Hi Paul.. any pointers on letting people know, and finding companies to help trial a content management site that I'm launching? - Calvin Pert

Duck ... mainstream is coming .... :) - Charlie Anzman

I like it a lot. - April Buchheit

I am also finding that when I am aiming for a link within the entry itself that's over to the right hand side, the tools are popping up and distracting me as I try to target. - Robin Barooah

LOVE it... - Johnny

Thanks for your work! Though now (with delay) it takes a bit more time to scan through the page and hide entries that deserve hiding. You know, sometimes I instantly see that I'll hide this, and delay just slows it down... though giving me time to rethink. =) Just to points: 1. 'Link' on the post page is unnecessary? (linking to itself); 2. maybe it's unnecessary at all? I was happy with timestamps... =) - Anton

Messing around with this, noticeable change in my behavior already based on cursor location; I either hide everything or I comment. I'm on a 10" screen and I don't want to move from Hide all the way to Comment or vice versa. One thing's for certain, there's no way I'd use FF on my 17" laptop for an extended (more than 5 min) amount of time. - Anika

Post management on the right, post interaction under title, works for me... - Johnny

Even more so than I'm stoked on the upgrades (keep 'em coming though) - I'm stoked on the way you guys are running your shop here. I like the attentiveness to users, I like the personal responses to bug reports. I like the advance notice of downtime. And I like the environment and communication that that kind of treatment promotes. The Friends that feed me here are great because of that. Thanks! more more more ;-) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Nice, but the bottom padding of, let's see, .toplinks extends down to far and can cover links. - Maxwell Terry

Rob, I so agree. Whoever heard of a developer coming off the mountain and socializing with the folks - and actually telling us about features and how they work? I absolutely love it - Paul, you remind me a little bit of the owner of a very good restaurant, circulating among the tables and making sure everyone's having a great time. - Mary B, VALUE author

That was fast... Thank you! - Susan Beebe

ah thank you!!-though i would never have known it was there if you didn't mention i had to hover over the link ( I saw an earlier post mentioning this feature and I was like "huh? where?" :) - Kelly W.

And I really like the fact that you put Link up there as well. Of course that may have been up there a bit, but still it makes things easier. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

why can't i reshare the conversation to someone who don't use the FF? - tianhou

Yay ! - Ahsan Ali

It's less clutter, thanks! It could be nice for these three actions to appear next to the mouse, maybe? - Count Caturday

hmm, let's try on tablet again -- people say FriendFeed in beta is much quicker on Nokia Internet Tablets than current (presumably bloated with JS) FrF - Отборнейший бред

hmmm on N810 it has weird feeling while refresh is done... - Отборнейший бред

Oh no, "Hide" is so far from "Like" now - Кофе без сахара

Very happy to have reshare back; don't like the position (too far from other controls), don't like the mouseover (distracting, especially with the delay, and seems to interfere with other links if they extend out that far). Please just bring back "more"! - Bill Hooker

Love it! - Roshan Ramachandran

I like new position of Hide (I use hide as "mark it read") - romanzolotarev

Paul, wud be great & really easy if Mail Invitations link had option for importing & selecting email contacts...rather than typing/copy-paste. Any plans for this? - Roshan Ramachandran

Please, bring "hide" link back to main controls area. It's very unuseful in a new position: 1) too far from main mouse route; 2) opens with a delay. It makes filtering process a pain when one of the most used links is put away. Filtering is one of FriendFeed's killer-features and one of it's core functions. - Yury Vetrov

cool... but with touchscreen device I can't perform the mouseover action. - Francesco M.

^^^ oh yes !!! mouseover sucks big time - Отборнейший бред

Paul, thank you for adding the reshare but it's just like the old UI. Is there no way posts could be shared properly, i.e. synced likes and comments? It would be ideal to just open the post up to new feeds not create new posts with new comments, etc. It would help with cutting down duplication. - Kol Tregaskes

I agree with Kol. Would be great as an option to reshare with the original likes and comments. - Jesper Lind

Also the Reshare link should be next to the Comment, Like and Hide links, this is where all "action" links are and makes sense to put them to together not dotted around in different places. - Kol Tregaskes

And I appreciate the "Link" link might make things clearer to some but it's pretty easy to grab the link from the timestamp so we have 2 links on the post doing the same thing. I think all you really need to do it make the timestamp look like a link, i.e. change the text blue like other links. - Kol Tregaskes

I hate it: hide should go back to its place, near "like", since clicking it where it is... is hard and unintuitive. - Marcos Marado

It's really great! - Ninh Nguyen

Should it be Link - Hide - Reshare instead of the current order? - Ninh Nguyen

I don't like how the background obscures content if the item was posted to multiple feeds that span the entire top line. How about making them appear next to the existing Comment - Like links instead? - Tony Ruscoe

looks great - Peter Efland

Wow. This feature has been revamped in less than 24h, based on feedback. That's why Friendfeed rules in real time! - Jérôme

Now that's what I call "responsive to users". Kudos. - Bill Hooker
