brilliant video on Lazyfeed now I am going to use it properly
- Thomas Power
True, Holden. I try to use my fake voice. :) (You haven't heard the voice-overs on the twin videos?)
- Louis Gray
why is LazyFeed invite only?
- Damir Zubović
Damir, LazyFeed is invite only because I am not in charge. Ethan and Claire know I would like to open it up to everyone.
- Louis Gray
Tnx for info. Greetings from Slovenia.
- Damir Zubović
Your password's too short :-P
- Jesse Stay
the word "password" is too short?

- Damir Zubović
Louis, yes.
- Jesse Stay
BTW, what screen capture software are you using?
- Jesse Stay
I hand-coded my own screen capture software using a derivative of Objective C, mixed with .Net and AJAX, Jesse.
- Louis Gray
Louis, I need an iPhone app then - will you build me one?
- Jesse Stay
but seriously, what screen capture software did you use to make that?

Hi Louis Thanks for the heads up about Lazyfeed. I have tried to register but it needs an invitation code. Can you or anyone in your network please let me know what I should put in? Thanks
- Jane Finch
Very well done, I now have a better understanding of how it works. Anymore invites? Thanks

Is there a WordPress plug-in to automatically push new posts to FriendFeed via the API?
Nicola Greco, Robert Higgins, (jeff)isageek and 100 other people liked this
Instead of just having a new post show up as a title and a link when the system gets around to checking your feed, you could push an excerpt and an image to FriendFeed the instant the post goes up.
- Ken Sheppardson
There is a WordPress plugin to support SUP, which would accomplish the "instant" part of your goal: http://wordpress.org/extend.... To get images you just need to support MediaRSS (I believe there is also a WordPress plugin for that).
- Benjamin Golub
Cool, where do I sign...........?
- Kevin J Hatton
Nice idea!
- Don Bonaddio
Nice. I will use this... Thank ;)
- Semih Masat ™
Benjamin: I knew somebody'd mention SUP :-) I'd rather not add some intermediate service/protocol, I just want the ability push directly via a single plug-in, preferably with a UI component that gives you control over what image or images are added, select the excerpt, select what groups the post goes to, etc.
- Ken Sheppardson
What I want is probably similar to what Ken you want - something to push the title & link& image as a post, and an excerpt as a comment to FriendFeed, which would then go to Twitter. The group selecter would be ultra cool on top of that
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Yeah, I'm using PUB-Sup, but what would be even more interesting is something that pushes, and tracks comments of the pushed post at the same time. I'd like to have real-time comments on each blog post.
- Jesse Stay
You're too cool to just grab your own RSS feed?
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew: Yes.
- Ken Sheppardson

- Matthew DeVries
Ken: Have you seen this one: http://sudarmuthu.com/wordpre...
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Just found it, looking into it now
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
WP-Sup (http://neothoughts.com/wp-sup/) + MediaRSS (http://wordpress.org/extend...) plugins will do the job
- Bwana ☠
Rob: Cool. Looks like Sudar's around http://friendfeed.com/sudar Maybe he'll drop by...
- Ken Sheppardson
Just sent him a tweet. Hopefully he'l join us :) Looks to be in india
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The SUP plugin doesn't add an intermediate protocol. It does exactly what FriendFeed wants from your site. It adds a line of code to your header and pings their API everytime you publish. Works perfectly to publish posts realtime to FriendFeed (and then on to Twitter, etc.) In fact, I've still not got used to publishing a post and seeing a notification on my desktop from FriendFeed from my post a half second later.
- Joss Winn
OK, I get it, guys. I know how SUP works and I know you can use SUP and MediaRSS to accomplish what I want. But I don't want to ping some API to tell it to go pull something from a feed... I want to make a single call to the FriendFeed API designed for creating entries http://code.google.com/p...
- Ken Sheppardson
Shouldn't be that hard to build. You can do it Ken :)
- Bwana ☠
Bwana: I think Sudar has already. :-) I'm going to put his implementation through its paces over the weekend.
- Ken Sheppardson
Oh ok cool... Hmmm.. I'd try it, but I'm not sure how it'll affect Backtype Connect on my blog. I want to be sure the FF comments get pulled in correctly.
- Bwana ☠
Bwana: not sure exactly what you want to try - but in general any entry that links to your posts will be connected by BT Connect -- we do of course try our best to cut out things like auto snippets of text that appear as comments when using the FF bookmarklet.
- Mike Montano
Mike - I just wanted to be sure if I remove my RSS feed from FriendFeed and use this solution, will my comments get pulled back into my blog. I gather the plugin would have to only link to my blog from FriendFeed, and Backtype does the rest
- Bwana ☠
Yeah, it seems like once the plugin creates the entry on FriendFeed with a link to your blog post, you're home free, no matter how that entry is created.
- Ken Sheppardson
I like I like
- Michael Ehline
Hi Guys, nice to know that the Plugin (Post2FF) which I created around 9 months back is of use to someone :) I am take the code dust it off and will add the new features that you requested. Stay tuned :)
- Sudar
Awesome! Thank you very much Sudar!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Of note, Sudar: it would be most handy if we could select the link that is published on the entry - either the linkt ot the blog entry or the ff.im link. (wasn't clear to me if the API actually supports this?) On most of my blog posts, I'd like to direct people straight to the post, but someone or some entries might prefer linking to the FriendFeed post/discussion
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I am done with the modifications to my Plugin to add new features like choosing the room to which the link to be posted, selecting images etc. Will release it after completing the testing. If anyone is willing to do beta testing, just ping me.
- Sudar
I'd love to give it a try :-)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Yay Sudar with his remedy to dust off (Post2FF)

@Chirag, You can install WP-O-Mattic WordPress Plugin (http://devthought.com/project...) and use the FF rss as input to publish from FF -> WordPress. (I haven't tried it, so not sure if it will work 100%)
- Sudar
@Sundar: Thanks I will start working on that.

As I understand it SUP won't work for Feedburner feeds.
- Rutger Blom
I am interested in using Sundar's plugin. Is it compatible with WordPress 2.8.3?

@Skyler Call, It should be compatible, since it doesn't use any functions which were changed in 2.8+ Anyways I will check it and will bump up the supported version in readme file.

Kol, are you on Chrome on XP/Vista? Inside a VM? Is your script file in C:\scripts and named friendfeedcommentbottomlink.user.js ?
- Micah Wittman
Coolness! Is there a way I can align the [Comment] text to the left rather than the center? I tried modding the code, but I'm not good at parsing javascript. EDIT: I'm also using AJ's Cleaner FriendFeed style, if that makes a difference.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy, yep, just give me a second. *scanning code...*

Jandy, line 79 (or there abouts) starts with: [CODE]$(this).after('<div class="bottomCommentLinkDiv" style="margin:-.5em 0 1em 40%">[/CODE] —change the 40% to 5px (or whatever margin-left spacing you want :)

Thanks, Micah! I was looking in totally the wrong place. That worked perfectly.

Ok, great. Glad the script is helpful to you :)

Micah, Vista and it's here: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts with the rest of my scripts. And it's called "friendfeedCommentBottomLink.js".

Kol, try changing the script file name to exactly: "friendfeedcommentbottomlink.user.js" and restart Chrome (with "--enable-user-scripts" flag of course). I tested on XP, you're on Vista, but let's normalize the other factors at least.
- Micah Wittman
thanks; just installed it. [edit: removed it, kinda fugly. :( ]

much needed mod
- MikeAmundsen
Ok, thanks for the feedback everyone here. I just posted v0.24 which now has some key layout/style options in a Configuration section near the top of the script. The default position of the "[ Comment ]" link is left (instead of centred). I had originally gone with centred because I found my mouse pointer was thereabouts when I was wheel scrolling up and down the page, so it was a shortest-distance-to-the-target that drove the decision. But April's style is better looking, so it's the default config now :)
- Micah Wittman
how about combining with the expand comments button since it is only needed on very long discussions
- Mike Chelen
Mike Chelen, but an important use case is you've already expanded a long thread, have read from top to bottom and are now ready to comment (the expand N more comments link is gone at that point).
- Micah Wittman
Issue with the latest update: It's adding like links to a user's own items, which as we all know you aren't allowed to like your own stuff.
- April Russo (app103)
Thanks, April - I'll fix that.

Awesome. I'm going back to FF 3.0 to read FriendFeed until Greasemonkey is available for 3.5 (what's taking so long?)
- Brad Kligerman
How do we "disable enter key submits comment?"
- DarknessFalls
@DarknessFalls: Right-click the Greasemonkey icon. Select "Manage User Scripts..." Highlight the friendfeedCommentBottomLink script and click the "Edit" button. (If this is your first time doing this then you will be prompted to locate a text editor. Windows has Notepad.exe, and Mac has Textedit in Applications.) Find the enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit setting near the top of the script and change "false" to "true". Save the change and refresh the Friendfeed page and you're done.
- Andy Bold
@Micah: One thing that I have noticed - when you enable enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit the comment entry box does not resize. It stays stuck in single-line mode. I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 on Mac. :)
- Andy Bold
Andy, I must have something set wrong somewhere because when I try to edit, a window opens to the Firefox directory. No file to edit. Where does Greasemonkey store the scripts?
- CAJ, somewhere else
Alan, it will be different per machine, for instance Firefox stores my scripts something like: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\agf0etrd.default\gm_scripts\friendfeedcommentbottoml\friendfeedcommentbottoml.user.js But you don't have to go there directly if GreaseMonkey has been associated with a text editor. Right click, manage scripts, then there a button or checkbox of some sort that allows you to choose an editor (notepad.exe, or whatever).
- Micah Wittman
[[[ FUNCTIONALITY CAVEAT HERE ]]]: Andy, regarding box resizing - yes, I should state the caveat that (until I can figure out a way to achieve a more nuanced approach in the code) the keypress event bound to the comment box is disabled, which includes multi-line and re-sizing, and character count display (when it goes past the threshold). I'll make this clearer in the post. Thanks!
- Micah Wittman
Alan, What Micah said :-) Any Mac peeps reading this can find the scripts in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/SomeRandomString.default/gm_scripts
- Andy Bold
<ahem> After reading the Title Bar of the window, I now realize Greasemonkey was asking me for my default editor. Whoopsie!
- CAJ, somewhere else
No prob, Alan.
- Micah Wittman
Micah, thanks for clearing that up! I'll file it under "Feature" for now, and install this : http://userscripts.org/scripts... :-) (Been meaning to do this for a while anyway. It's one thing from Safari that I miss in Firefox - the ability to re-size any text box.) (Edit: Blah - script doesn't work. Never mind. :)
- Andy Bold
Alan : I just updated my original post. Thanks for reminding me that Greasemonkey does this! :-)
- Andy Bold
Andy, no problem. It's a shame Greasemonkey doesn't ask when it's installed. THAT would be the time I'd expect configuration questions. :)
- CAJ, somewhere else
was anyone able to get the bottom comment and like to work on Chrome 2.0 on Vista?
- Harold
@Kol: not sure why my last comment didn't bump this back up to the current topics... but were you able to get this working on Vista & Chrome 2.0 ?
- Harold
Harold, it's not just you. Chrome 2 has some odd hangup with certain general purpose code that should execute fine but doesn't. When I (or someone else - please let me know) figures it out, I'll update you. I'm sure it's frustrating for you, I know it is for me. Stay tuned :)
- Micah Wittman
Harold, I think the reason our comments aren't bumping this up to the top of this group is there's an algorithm that considers the age of the post (based on creation date I'm thinking) as part of the decision to bump to top or not upon additional comments.
- Micah Wittman
@Micah, I started working on integrating the bottom comment with the Cleaner Friend Feed script. If I get it working, I'll be sure to let you know.
- Harold
Harold, cool. Keep me posted.
- Micah Wittman
Harold, if I remember correctly last time I was in the code with Chrome 2, execution never even made it out of the GM_wait function.
- Micah Wittman
Micah: the comment box would appear the first time you click expand, so it is ready when reaching the bottom of the post
- Mike Chelen
Mike, ok, I get you now. I should be able to work that in as a configurable option. Thanks!
- Micah Wittman
Micah: hey great, that would be cool, thanks for all these great FF tweaks, been having a lot of fun trying them out!
- Mike Chelen
How much overhead is there in running greasemonkey? Any chance FriendFeed will finally fix this themselves after all this time?
- Internet Strategist
A FriendFeed intern just acknowledged my request in another thread for them to look into fixing these usability issues.
- Internet Strategist
In my experience, the overhead of the greasemonkey extension itself isn't perceptible. The script(s) you have activated on the other hand can be - it all depends on what the script tries to acheive and how well optimized it is (lag can often be a consequence of scripts that make requests to other web services that may not be responsive).
- Micah Wittman
Thanks Micah. I may test it. I just realized there is already a "fix" for the screen jumping when you subscribe that works on at least some pages although it can be a little tricky. Right click on the Subscribe link and open it in another tab.
- Internet Strategist
Micah just started using FireFox 3.5 and when trying to install this received this error message: Script could not be installed [Exception...

I know how to install greasemonkey scripts in genereal (in firefox) but apparently, .... *trails off to go up and read again...* oooooooooooooh. see, I thought I'd commented on a post regarding some hack I'd read about for running some greasemonkey scripts in Chrome. that's my 2nd serious blonde moment this week. *sigh* so. uh. it's ok. *runs to find the hack she's now wondering if she dreamt rather than saw*
- Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Nathalie, that's completely understandable. Where things can really go off the tracks is when one sends a txt to the Twitter short code instead of the spouse's cell number. The iPhone can really help make a magical moment like that possible. Not that I'd know or anything :D

There were some bugs in the "Twitter publishing" code that caused some entries to get published on Twitter when they should not, and others to not get published when they should. I've cleaned up the code to eliminate these problems, but it's possible some settings were lost. Please verify your settings at http://friendfeed.com/setting...

- Keith Bennett
from Nambu
Thanks Keith :) By the way, if none of your posts are making it through to twitter, it may be that you changed your password. To verify, simply click "Save changes" at http://friendfeed.com/setting... and we will check that your Twitter credentials are still good (and sign-out then back in to fix).
- Paul Buchheit
Are you kidding me, there's actually some settings and options somewhere in the new friendfeed?! *passes out from the news*
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, in general all the same settings that the old ui had are available on the new one (plus a few more), though they are now divided on to several different pages. You should be able to reach all of the the settings by clicking on the word "settings" below your name in the top-right part of the page (the dialog shows a few, and links to all the others).
- Paul Buchheit
Where are the settings to turn back on the service icons, to sort by service?
- Matthew DeVries
You can filter by service by searching for service:twitter (or whatever service you like), and of course that can be combined with other search operators as well. See http://friendfeed.com/search... for more.
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks Paul, sounds like you pulled an all nighter to fix these.
- Robert Scoble
So to filter by a service, I have to know the service, which I won't know because the icons are gone, and I no visual queue by which to see it's a new service, OH and I need to write a separate filter, myself for all 2000 services that can feed to FF? Does that seem right to you?
- Matthew DeVries
Yeah, unfortunately the code had gotten rather involved since it was trying to support both the old ui and the new (the old ui worked on a per-service basis instead of letting you decide individually on each entry), and the logic sometimes became inconsistent. I simplified it quite a bit, so there should be less room for bugs now :)
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks, Paul. :)

Matthew: Seems logical to me. You can read, so you can see if an entry came from Twitter, or Facebook, or Flickr (or even Flickr Favorites). And anyone importing 2000 feeds into FriendFeed is required to change their surname to Scoble. ;)
- Andy Kruger
I have an idea, how bout next to each post, say next to the How long ago, you put something, say, the favicon for the service that posted that feed, then when I click on that icon, it takes me to all of that person's posts using that service? Wouldn't that be a great way to do it? It would certainly be a sever load neutral feature. In fact I think once you put it in, you'd never ever...

Nice try, Matthew, I congratulate you on being awake, and carpe-diem'ing Paul here, but have to disappoint you - if FF wanted us to have favicons, they'd already issued us our favicons. Do you see any favicons that made the transition from earlier version. No? You think Paul nuked them by mistake... be my guest, and I'll be looking forward to the next couple of years' worth of your pleading for favicons when you could be learning to live both here and thereater without them.

No, I just use the scripts to put them back, but that is such an inelegant hack for something that should have it's own option to implement.
- Matthew DeVries
I'm a bit confused about the "Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter by default" and "FriendFeed (when there's no Cc box)" options. Are these exclusive? Does checking the first one mean all my FriendFeed posts will get posted to Twitter even if I uncheck the Cc box?
- Tony Ruscoe
Paul, thank you thank thank you for the "Check CC Twitter box by default" option!!! That's one step closer to only needing Friendfeed. I'm almost ready to dump Google Reader AND Twitter now!
- CAJ, somewhere else
Thanks Paul!
- Edwin Khodabakchian
Tony, the "cc twitter by default" option sets whether then checkbox is checked or unchecked by default in the share box and bookmarklet. The other option ("when there's no cc box") applies mostly to the API and other off-site interfaces, such as email (mail share@friendfeed.com) and IM. For any given post, only one setting applies.
- Paul Buchheit
I publish to Twitter by default but now link directly to the source. I figure that those finding outside of FF want to go to the source (while those reading on FF are already seeing the discussion).
- Mike Reynolds
Hi Paul, about 15 mins ago I "shared" an item from FF here to "my feed" and "cc Twitter". But still not showing up on Twitter. Just thought I'd let you know.
- Brian
Thanks Brian. It turns out there was a bug in the "Share" feature that sometimes caused us to sometimes not send the tweets (the new code errors on the side of not sending tweets). It's fixed now though. Please let me know if you spot any others.
- Paul Buchheit
Appreciate the heads up Paul. Simple example of how companies can connect with their audience.
- kilbuda
Paul, that did the trick! Thanks for looking into that. BTW, that was a quick fix! Just shared an item on FF and it pushed thru to Twitter instantly.
- Brian
Hello Paul, when I try to publish just my google talk status to twitter and have "Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation" selected, it doesn't send the tweet. I'm not sure if this is because twitter seems to be having difficulty right now or if it's the lack of a source link because it's a google talk status?
- ehaab
ehaab, publishing to Twitter was broken this morning, so no updates went out. It should work fine now however, including publishing updates from Google Talk. Sorry about that.
- Paul Buchheit
thanks! it was driving me batty trying to figure out why it wasn't taking.
- ehaab
I think it's still broken. I just posted via the Bookmarklet and CC'd twitter... no go. EDIT: my latest one just posted, must be intermittent.

Hi Paul, Mine is still not working. I have also checked the setting page.

I think so too!
- Michael Fidler
I agree with you, that Posterous will become a major player, but right now I don't like how a lot of people use it. For a lot of people Posterous seems to be just a plain hub for all their multimedia activities (picture/audio/video sharing) but nothing else. There should be more behind it (IMHO). I like your approach to Posterous, this is the way it should be.
- Georg Mahr
The only feature Posterous really needs to become "the next big platform" is a Backtype-like integration of external comments, esp. from Friendfeed and Twitter.

I have to sign up for this. I think i could use it well.

I really like Posterous, but the next big platform? I'm not so sure.

I'm rooting for posterous because they validate what I think is a big space between media sharing and blogging, a space I'm working to be in too.

Thanks for posting Steve, and I agree with one of the comments that Posterous should add some sort of social commenting.
- Wayne Sutton
I'm right there with you, Steve. It is refreshing to focus on content. Sure, I miss my Wordpress blog at times, but as a designer, I know that beautiful things come from exercising creativity within parameters: twitter capped us at 140 char, and posterous gives us all the same gallery space to make our own, without all the anxiety for the extraneous (putting a widget for here, writing a...

I honestly believe Posterous CAN be at least ONE of the next big platforms. We (us, are they still saying techies?) love to talk the talk about web 2.0 and worlds of Google's Wave, but if anybody benefits from Google, it'll be bloggers who post directly from Gmail to Posterous. We often boast these days that "content is key" is passe, and new language is needed. But the bare bones of it...

nah. Posterous is great and fun, and I´m a fan. But when it comes down to it its all about the quality of your content, not about how fast you can get your content out to various micro-services or if you can post from your Iphone. I think (or hope) we will see a reaction where bloggers go back old school and actually think through what they write, that would be a welcome change... well, good old quality vs quantity I guess.
- Peter Efland
That's just it. Technology moves forward, and if the old school way was flawless, mico-blogs would have been stillborn. The opposite has happened, babies everywhere, and Posterous might be Bam Bam.

I would stay with tumblr :)

I like Posterous a lot, but I'm not sure it brings enough to the table to get me off of Tumblr.

I signed up some time ago then I've not been using it. I love tumblr and I see duplicated features. Anyway people using a social network drives its success, not features!

It's taken me a while to get round to using Posterous after setting up an account ages ago. We have started using it at work to log docs and messages in a big cross team project. It really comes into it's own as a collaboration tool. I have since started using my own one and it's pretty addictive! http://yellowbag.posterous.com/
