LouCypher, I filled in each type of field (except audio) and clicked Run Pipe, but nothing appears to have happened.

Micah, it worked for me. I posted this entry using this pipe itself.
- LouCypher
Lou, you declare explicitly »This Pipe may require all fields to have values before it will run successfully. Please provide values into any empty field above and press "Run Pipe."« but then your [=this] posting has nowhere near the number of apparently required elements. If the values/args can be [nil] or »""«, or maybe »" "«, please indicate that. Above all, I'd like to read a usage scenario in which this could be of, hmmm…, use [over and above mere proof of concept].
- ianf ⌘
Yay. Generated http://friendfeed.com/thedod... like a charm, audio and all. Well done

How much time did it save over posting that in the old, "missionary" fashion?
- ianf ⌘
@ianf, only fields with * are required, you can leave the other fields empty.
- LouCypher
so, you're essentially using a pipe to post to friendfeed?
- chrisofspades
@Chris, I do sometimes, using v1 API http://pipes.yahoo.com/loucyph...
- LouCypher
@Micah and @Genie, did you enter the correct remote key? http://friendfeed.com/remotek...
- LouCypher
Lou, I just re-tried in Chrome and it worked! (I used the remotekey each time). My first attempts wre in Firefox - my guess is there's was a conflict with Firebug (or maybe NoScript, but I allowed all domains *shrug*).
- Micah Wittman
I see. I don't have Firebug on my Firefox, that's why.
- LouCypher
Firebug in the latest version of Firefox has been temperamental. Frequent browser restarts while dubugging JS helps.
- Micah Wittman
Anyway, nice job on the pipe, LouCypher. Just released, and there's already exciting things popping up using the new API v2 :)
- Micah Wittman
I used this image URL http://friendfeed-media.com/1dbdccc... (no extension) and it worked for me. What's your image URL?
- LouCypher
I may be misreading things in a wider [than Pipes] context, but I thought the new FF API v2, as per recent Firehose announcement (which presumably relies on it) no longer required RemoteKey use? "[FF Firehose] is controlled by simple OAuth. This also means users of FriendFeed-based applications will no longer need to get their special key to manually enter as was previously required" <http://staynalive.com/article...> - right, this isn't an FF-app…
- ianf ⌘
Unfortunately, that's the problem with Yahoo Pipes, you can't use OAuth with it.
- LouCypher
This looks cool, but with FriendFeed's 3 mp3 files a day limit - you could only use it once a day to upload audio files.
- Chris Loft
That's for upload only, the API is using/hotlinking mp3 URL from other server. You can post as much as you want. http://friendfeed.com/zoolcar...

Mike Chelen, Laura Norvig, rowlikeagirl and 23 other people liked this
The ffcheck bookmarklet gives you a quick way to find out if there are any existing items on FriendFeed related to the web page you're viewing. Simply drag the bookmarklet onto your bookmarks toolbar, then whenever you click the link a list of FriendFeed items will be overlaid onto the page you're viewing.

from Bookmarklet
coooooooooool
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
perfect!
- Patrik Johansson
is there a way to go through my contacts only?
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Dobromir: Not that I know of. It's not authenticating at all, i.e. it has no idea who you are. In fact, you don't even need to be a FF user to use it. I don't know if the API allows you to retrieve a filtered list.
- Ken Sheppardson
Also, that sort of circumvents the intent. [ Well.. my intent at least :-) ] The idea is to promote discovery and connect you with folks you might not know otherwise. Rather than have 30+ people all start threads on an item (as shown in the screen shot), this lets you join the existing conversation instead of resharing something. Your Like or Comment will put it in your followers' stream without you having to reshare it.
- Ken Sheppardson
so I though, I asked because feedly can do something very similar, but again it searches the whole friendfeed instead of the users home feed, anyway cool enough :-)
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Just made a quick fix. Should work with Chrome now.

Brilliant thanks, Chrome needs it :)

cool... i like ... this bookmarklet will come in handy - good work @kshep!

I just grabbed ffcheck.com and moved this over to http://ffcheck.com, so if anyone is so inclined they can delete the bookmarklet that points to kshep.net and grab it again from there.

Great tool for discovering other FFers who are interested in a topic. You can click on entries within the page ffcheck produces. Or you can print the page. Well done, Ken Sheppardson.

Does ffcheck still work? Just asking because I haven't gotten it to work in a few days, even after dumping cache (which usually fixes weird transient JS errors.)
- Andrew C
I hope so. It's still useful to me. kshep, did you intentionally pull it down? ffcheck.com/javascript/ is 404'ing. Also is the code here: http://userscripts.org/scripts... a current or an old version?
- Micah Wittman
No, I didn't pull it down... it's needed two clicks in my dev channel version of Chrome to work, but other than that it was cranking away... or so I thought... let me take a look...
- Ken Sheppardson
nice!
- .LAG liked that
Should be back. Sorry about that.
- Ken Sheppardson
I should note that in Chrome 4 (My default browser...I'm on the dev branch) you have to click the bookmarklet twice. I've been putting off resolving that in the ffcheck code, but it's probably time to dig into it.
- Ken Sheppardson
Great! Thanks, Ken.
- Micah Wittman
The code at userscripts.org is pretty old. I branched off from that for the version that's hosted at ffcheck.com. As it says in the "About" page there on userscripts, it really just demonstrates how the API works. Honestly, I haven't touched this in forever. Y'all are going to make me try to remember how it works, aren't you? :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
I always thought it should be a core part of the tool because it worked so well, too many fragmented discussions get started without it!!
- Chris Myles
I think that in chrome you've had to click twice for a long while... since version 2 of chrome or something (i think) - oh and if you do mess with the code a bit of animation would be nice while it's loading... even if it's the most simple of blinking periods - just to indicate that it is working and not stuck

It's an image for a talk - making the point that the while the internet harnesses lots of small efforts to create content (whether you like that content or not) that the barriers to entry and the effort required to do a "small piece of science" are higher
- Cameron Neylon
@Cameron why would you say the barriers to entry are higher? Is it an argument around how the availability of "easy content" is much higher, so to generate a small amount of quality is a bit harder (analogy: if everyone's giving free giveaways its a bit harder to start selling for something)?
- Benjamin Tseng
The point I was trying to make was that - take a picture of a cat write a witty caption and you've done something "useful" in as much as you've created content that someone might appreciate. Doing that for a scientific image is a little harder - either because there is more effort in coming up with the caption, or what it means, or because you need a lot more training to make apposite...
