Hasn't worked for me either. My Links and Your Notes do, but not the Status
- Gary Rudolph
Same problem here. Anybody from FF feels like helping?
- Carlo Mastrogiacomo
same here, I follow the seemingly obvious instructions by FF, but error message gives no clue what went wrong. Hard to know if facebook of friendfeed is source of problem. it might help if an example url was displayed. I get 'format not supported" for http://www.facebook.com/feeds... This is the link that google reader (as my default RSS) accepts.
- Lane Rapp
Same problem for me, nothing to do for the status feed :(
- alfredo
Like Gary Rudolph, My Links and Your Notes supposedly work, but not the Status for me.
- Angela Granfield
There are some clues that I've been collecting - search on facebookstatusbroken to see my latest comment with a collection of them. Some accounts can use the methods posted, but others cannot. YMMV.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
added to the broken list. Please someone help!
- JorgeR
It isn't just FriendFeed, as I've been having trouble with Alert Thingy, too. I fear that Facebook has gone and broken itself somehow.
- Miss Elle
Finally worked after following these instructions http://friendfeed.com/about... to set custom Privacy settings for "Status and Links" and check "Allow friends to subscribe to my status" (confusing thing was that even before changing this settings, I was able to find the "My Links" URL ok)
- Mike Chelen
i still have the problem. even though i checked my privacy setting in facebook...
- Amin
I find it difficult to grasp why this is such a long standing issue, without a definitive statement on how to fix it, or why it won't be fixed anytime soon. (since mine works, I know this must be possible to fix)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
This is crazy I have been looking for answers to this question for like 2 hours now and can't find any solution that works.
- Sean Pisano
Blame Facebook, they just won't let anything outside it's service. :-(

it works for me. i even added people as imaginary friends that dont have friendfeed

I thought after the acquisition it would work but it still doesn't work for me.
- Frederick Bvalani
It's ironic that Facebook puts up such "barriers" yet lets so many crappy broken and ANNOYING apps seemingly run rampant! Just sayin...

minmax: that is because the walled system depends on the judgment of a small group for approval, whereas a more open system enables a larger pool of users to rate and comment resulting in a higher quality of evaluation

Also having same issue. Freindfeed suggests using the freindfeed app for facebook, but that does not seem to work. The freindfeed app sends my post to freindfeed, but not to facebook status or twitter. As a side note, I have had no problems using www.posterous.com to update all services. One email and its done. I still would like to figure out how to link friendfeed facebook and twitter through freindfeed.
- David Imielski
having same issues with ff updating fb status, won't work... but posterous works everytime...
- Douglas Sandquist
Following the FriendFeed instructions, I got Links and Notes to work but I get "It appears that Facebook does not provide a Status feed for your account." I don't see anything denying my status under Privacy or News Feed under the new facebook, but I'm at a loss. Why is facebook not publishing my status feed? Any ideas or solutions under the "new facebook"?
- Ken & Kiyomi
don't know whether it will help or not, but I have the same issue in my account :/ notes & links are fine, but for the status, this message appears in the settings :/
- Serdar Dalgic
No solution yet? I'm experiencing the same problem right now when trying to recreate my Facebook service here. It used to work before without any problem about the status.
- Rodrigo
Everyone might be getting this same error already or very soon. Facebook updated their security and APIs again yesterday, prompting them to review their Privacy Settings when they log in.
- Ken & Kiyomi

Yes, I did that... and my status updates should be public.

Vicky & I really enjoyed playing outside with Kiyomi during her first time outdoors in the snow. It melted so quickly, gone by the end of the next day, but we're hoping we'll get more snow again soon! Kiyomi really is a delight in the snow! :)
- Ken & Kiyomi
She's gorgeous! Glad y'all had fun. :)
- Laura Lou Who
Thanks! Normally I enjoy the snow, except for the shoveling and driving around other Virginian drivers in it. I think this winter will be even more fun since Kiyomi enjoys being out in the snow so much. Hopefully we'll get more snow this winter than the weak amounts we got these last few years.

I've wondered the same, but if you watch your Windows Task Manager, you'll see that all the chrome extensions spawn as separate chrome.exe processes independent of your browser window. Unlike firefox with a thread or more per extension, Chrome runs independent processes for each extension. I'm current using Facebook Notifications, GMail Notifications, Web Developer Mini, chromeTouch,...

My last Twitter thought... People now have businesses based on Twitter being up (iPhone apps and such) and Google and Bing are now paying coin for the fire hose. How long until the reliability of Twitter becomes an issue?
I believe the reliability of Twitter will improve to a level that it will no longer be an issue. Twitter is maturing and the Fail Whale may someday be a relic, or just during "scheduled" maintenance.
- Louis Gray
Louis, that very well may be true, but a year ago not a few people thought the problem would be fossilized by a year later, and here we are :)
- Micah Wittman
since it's free, they have a lot of time.
- Mike Nencetti
I wonder if the Google and Bing relationships included a service level agreement of some kind. I'd also like to see if Google and Bing are getting the same reliability levels as the freebie users; in most enterprises, paying customers would get priority access to server resources.
- Kevin Shaum
Wasn't the parting of ways with Blaine Cook ( a year and a half ago) supposed to signal the end to their problems (at least that was the story at the time) -- it seems the problem was elsewhere and still exists.
- Brian Sullivan
I am not attempting to sound naive. I talked with Ryan Sarver today, their Director of Platform, at LeWeb, and it was a good discussion. Twitter is growing up. It doesn't have to be my favorite, but it is a utility, and one that is funded well, and has sharp execs. The company is learning how to scale. Despite the occasional whale (like I got today), it's miles ahead of 2008. Understand my lack of favorable bias. :)
- Louis Gray
Well I'm glad they are improving their platform. I wish them no harm and would hate to see them get all lawyer'd over reliability.
- Johnny Worthington
The reliability would have been much less of an issue if we had multiple interoperable microblogging services. Email is reliable enough to base a business on. Do you think this would have been the case if the only email service available was, say, compuserve?
- Yaniv Golan
I would hope most serious businesses don't use Twitter or Gmail as their sole source of communication. I'm already wary of having Gmail check my other mail accounts as IMAP for the same reason (people panic when Gmail goes offline for a couple hours). Should any company with more than a handful of employees be using free social networking sites to base their communications on?
- Ken & Kiyomi
Same here. I fell asleep last night listening to the sleet on the roof, saw that the patio was covered in sparkling ice. Woke up listening to a heavy rain, but still took it easy driving to the Metro this morning.
- Ken & Kiyomi
I have a feeling we'll have to take the roads easy a LOT this year. :) It looks like it might be a rougher winter than we've had for a long while. Though as long as I can make it to work, I think I'll be happy.

Anti-piracy laws are getting out of control. If it keeps going the way it is, pretty soon you won't be able to buy a movie and watch it with your friends, you'll have to log names and pay individually for each showing. It's really ridiculous the direction anti-piracy laws are taking.
Anything in particular that prompted this? So far I'm enjoying Hulu, but I'm still not buying many movies or shows from iTunes. I don't like the idea of spending $10-$20 on a movie that I might not be able to play in 3 years when my iPod or HDD dies. I haven't seen too much intrusion by DRM into my movie watching aside from the difficulty of copying a Blu-Ray, but the "digital copy" doesn't annoy me too much.

Mostly they idiodic lawsuits against people doing nothing wrong, I guess. I just heard something about a woman being put in jail for taping about 2 minutes of a movie at a party with her camera. It's getting insane.

It's melting quickly here, I suspect most of it will be gone by afternoon. Forecasting 20's for tonight, so tomorrow's Metro will be icy & cold. How much did you get on the ground there? looks like 3 inches here on grass, less on roads & sidewalks.

These mobile broadband hotspots are awesome. I wish I could just buy the hardware and use it with my existing 'unlmiited' data plan though instead of having to get a whole new line of service for it.

Veo: I'm using an "unlimited" Sprint plan on the U300. Sprint caps me at 5GB/mo on 3G, no limit on 4G. I average about 7-8GB/mo between the two.

Cologne stink or lack-of-hygiene stink? Sadly, I know too much of both riding the DC Metro in the morning. I actually care a menthol stick to discretely palm under my nose when I sit or stand next to a real stinker.

Lack-of-hygiene. I still have no idea who it was. I turned my fan on and aimed it away from me, but it didn't help that much. Fortunately, I haven't smelled it since.

The "Golden Age" of American Saturday morning cartoons? I was glued to the television every Saturday morning in 1985, watching NBC from 7:30am until 11:30a. All chores and homework had to wait until afterward. ...and then I discovered anime! "Galaxy Express 99" left a lasting impression on me, "Akira" blew my mind. :)
- Ken & Kiyomi
I especially like the third picture in this set. While stopped at a light, Kiyomi was busy staring at the traffic while I was busy staring at the camera. I'm pretty sure she'd make a driver than me. I'm certain she'd make a better driver than Toonces the Driving Cat.

Your personal data files (bookmarks, passwords, mail, address books, etc.) are stored inside a profile folder, in a separate location from the program files for your Mozilla application. (The program installation directory also has a "profile" folder, inside the "defaults" folder, but this contains program defaults, not your user profile data.) When you first install your Mozilla application, a profile named default is created automatically (you can create additional profiles using the Profile Manager). The folder containing your user profile data is located a few levels below the C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data folder in Windows XP and 2000 or the C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming folder in Windows 7 and Vista. These folders are hidden so you need to take some special steps to find the profile folder, as explained below.
- Ken & Kiyomi
Mozilla applications store a user's personal information in a unique profile. The first time you start any Mozilla application, it will automatically create a default profile; additional profiles can be created using the Profile Manager. The settings which form a profile are stored in files within a special folder on your computer — this is the profile folder. The installation directory also includes a "profile" folder but this folder contains program defaults, not your user profile data.

To Amory Lovins — a veteran energy expert and chairman of the Rocky Mountain Institute — there's a much better green reason to be against nuclear power: economics. Lovins, an environmentalist who is unusually comfortable with numbers, argues in a report released last week that a massive new push for nuclear power doesn't make dollars or cents. In his study, titled "The Nuclear Illusion," he points out that while the red-hot renewable industry — including wind and solar — last year attracted $71 billion in private investment, the nuclear industry attracted nothing. "Wall Street has spoken — nuclear power isn't worth it," he says.
- Meryn Stol
It was a good article, but it was brief and glossy. I might agree with the economics of "it should live or die on it's own" only if we weren't still building coal-fired plants. Economics alone is a poor reason to base our energy decisions on... we simply can't get the same energy output from a solar farm, windmill farm, or wave generator that we do from a coal plant. At least nuclear...

- Ken & Kiyomi
Ken, true. Still, the question remains: Why so little private investment? Aside from "economics" (too little financial return) there could be a host of other reasons. Maybe the government doesn't want private money in the plants, preferring to own the plants themselves. I have no clue. But I do need to figure this out. I'm also not sure about who ends up owning the wind and solar farms. Perhaps the "71 billion" investments in these sectors refer to investment in the manufacturing companies.

Good morning, friendfeed! It was a brisk 36°F as Kiyomi, Vicky & Ken took a walk around our neighborhood. Kiyomi enjoyed the cold, crisp air with the frosty leaves underfoot. Ken was bundled up in boots, jeans, sweater, and coat. Vicky was dressed for the cold as well, taking pictures with her gloves on. (via http://friendfeed.com/dog-lov...)
Kiyomi has her own friendfeed account, which usually has much more Kiyomi-specific content than my account (which contains tech, work, idleness, and geekery as well). For more pictures, video, and stories about Kiyomi, our 7mo Shetland Sheepdog, feel free to subscribe to her friendfeed. Thanks! - Ken, Vicky & Kiyomi Foreman

If it were just cold today, I think I could have tolerated it better. It was cold and there was a stiff breeze blowing over the lake. I kept my sweatshirt tight and my hood up for most of our "walk" (run). Autumns and Winters, I wish I had the thick double-coat of a Sheltie. I envy you, Kiyomi.
