Hao, this is awesome! Remember how people were saying in the FF Feedback room, how they'd like services to be linked, but not important the feeds? THIS is the temp. solution. WOW. Are you going to implement a way to filter individually?
- Mona Nomura
It doesn't actually do that, Mona. If your account is in Friendfeed, it goes into your feed. Hao Chen is merely making it easier to get the URLs from FriendFeed.
- Mark Trapp
Looks great. I guess I'll have to look into Social Graph API a bit deeper. It's so much faster than FF API for network data.
- Benedikt Koehler
Oops, I meant UN-LINK services so it'll stop pulling into their feed BUT still enable their friends to link to their respective accounts. Thank you for catching that, Mark.
- Mona Nomura
It should be possible to use the Social Graph API to find services that are not imported into Friendfeed as well as friends' services not on FF. It's a bit tricky because it requires a lot of separate requests. Right now, it's only using the SG API to find your subscriptions across the services you import on FF.
- Hao Chen
Thanks, just don't look at the source code. LOL
- Hao Chen
Hao, this is awesome, this is going to save me so much time! Thanks!
- Shey
Very cool. However, my tiny brain is not grokking " Remove Connections Already Subscribed To". Please to explain.
- Laura Norvig
Laura, it's not very accurate, but it's supposed to remove links to people's accounts on the other networks you already subscribe to. For example, if I already subscribe to Bob on Twitter, it might remove the link to Bob's Twitter page in the big list.
- Hao Chen
very kool Hao....Im finding my fellow FF on other services!
- (jeff)isageek
Hao, this is very cool; I just used it to great success friending last.fm users.
- Pete D
Hao, since I am the lone step child, any idea why it would not work for me. I typed in my ID, nothing happens, no spinning wheel indicating it is thinking. Just looks at my sad face....LOL.
- R. Ferguson
Hoa - This is great. Can you add Blip.fm?
- Russellreno
this is so awesome Hao - great job!!!!!!!! look out for random add notifications from me :)
- Morgan
How does that work?I type in some user name in it,nothing happen...
- Steve Chou
Steve, what browser are you using? Any JavaScript errors?
- Hao Chen
Glad to hear you guys are finding uses for it. @Russell Right now, the list of services it displays is the list of services being imported by people's FF accounts, and since Blip.fm isn't a supported service yet, I can't add that in easily. I'll think about how to use the Social Graph API more effectively to do those things though.
- Hao Chen
This is just excellent, not wholly accurate like you say but brilliant. Now all I need is to add more contacts on FF ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Never seems to work for my own username.
- Andrew Trinh
Thanks, guys. :) Andrew, ah, looks like Social Graph doesn't see your FF subscriptions for some reason. http://socialgraph-resources.g... I'll re-code this using the Friendfeed API to get your subscriptions later.
- Hao Chen
Very cool Hao! I like seeing which less-common services people actually use. My list (and top 25 services) is http://friendfeed.com/e... Does your system count me twice for YouTube because I have 2 YouTubes? (seems like it might, from the Blog counts).
- Mitchell Tsai
It's not working for me either when I input my username.
- Steve Lowe
Ditto steplow. Looks like it should be awesome but sadly it's drawing a blank for my username. :(

Benjamin: The juices in Belize are amazing. They make fresh juices at road stands, and fill used 1 liter Sprite/Coke bottles. Water is amazing. Sharks and rays swam through our legs. So used to tourists, you can touch them. Budget place for water stuff (as is the Red Sea - around Egypt & Sinai Peninsula). Egypt was 10 Euro for an 8-hr boat ride (including lunch & snorkel gear). Forget how much Belize was...
- Mitchell Tsai
I had such a GREAT time in Belize a few years back! What a great trip. Have a most excellent time Benjamin! Be sure to check out "Dready's" on Ambergris Caye and stay away from the kids who feed chickens to 25' crocs! :D
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Joel: What are your suggestions for Benjamin?
- Mitchell Tsai
We are only going to be there for 1 day (part of a cruise)
- Benjamin Golub
Joel: How does Altun-Ha compare to Caracol? I went to Caracol a few years ago. Met a guy from Houston who grew up there and never knew it was a Maya ruin until it appeared on the news ~5-8 yrs ago - "Hey, that's my hometown."
- Mitchell Tsai
Thanks Joel! I'll check out Altun-ha next time I'm in Belize also. Have you visited Tikal or any of the Mayan sites in Guatemala? I was thinking about visiting Tikal last visit, but did the closer Caracol instead. When I visited Caracol, it had only been excavated for 2-3 years, so it was new..
- Mitchell Tsai
I wouldn't recommend it in twitter, I almost lost 2 followers due to them seeing when I was playing a game via raptr, they most likely wouldn't care when I play get a silver medal for listening to A Skylit Drive.
- Greg
I want my song "likes" on the Zune to have an RSS feed. The same way Pandora and LastFM does.
- David Cook
Greg: how many tweets was it creating to scare them? I think that would be cool to see what people are listening to a lot, even if I don't necessary end up liking the music. One more way to discover stuff.
- Michael Turner
David: that would be pretty sweet! Again a good way to see what other people are discovering new stuff they like.
- Michael Turner
it lasts too long I rarely have the time for a full session

I cannot comprehend its sublime complexity. There must be a hidden meaning...*goes to Egypt to search through tombs and such to find the answer...*

Neat little service, not really got into it yet. Though it needs time to capture my apps. Will give it another look in a week or so time.

I've been running wakoopa for awhile. Here's my profile. http://wakoopa.com/a7an. I stopped running it work because I can't share projects that I'm working on.
- Alan Le
Bump. I recently encountered this and, as people in the community I am most prominent in come to me for software advice, I thought this to be useful. I just signed up to Wakoopa a few days ago, but I love the thought of just letting it run in the background to monitor my programs. Plus, we know it's safe. Anyway, profile: http://wakoopa.com/Neurario

they have hardware for this, too, if you need even better quality. I'd been looking into it for a podcast I still haven't done. Some really interesting "interview" solutions out there but none I looked at seemed awesome.
- Anthony Citrano
Been using the pro version ($) for awhile which has a ton of features. The podcast one is especially cool for Skype users. Just dial into Skype from a specific number you set, record a voicemail and it will post to your blog as a podcast. Handy.
- TDavid
Sounds cool. Do you know if it delays your feed long?
- Andrew Smith
i've tried this & it gave me nothing but headache...if anyone gets it working well - i'd love to hear about it.
- Zee.
So Yahoo loses Yang and SnakeDoc ignores the existence of Yahoo Pipes?
- thomasrdotorg
from twhirl
Thomas LOL ....BTW - I did post earlier on using Yahoo Pipes with Greader... I was around the Valley when they founded the company....Jerry Y. is an Icon.
- SnakeDoc
@snakedoc. I know. In teh blink of an eye, Pipes was history. Like Yang RLY.
- thomasrdotorg
from twhirl
awesome ... this is the sorta thing i've been looking for
- Jay
wow, that's really cool. Exactly the sort of thing I've been after. Makes me wish the US election was still going so I could do some rinsing ...
- Richard Crocker
Zee - what wasn't working on this for you? I've used it for quite some time and it does well for me. (BTW, I deleted the dupe thread and bumped this instead).
- TDavid
@SnakeDoc - As far as I knew FeedRinse has always been free... I use it for several feeds. The filtering works great for me but I have yet to get the channels to work. Do they work for anyone else?
- Lindsay
@Lindsay - nope, they charged at one time (2006) for premium features: http://feedrinse.com/blog... -- I have never used the channel feature so maybe somebody else can help you there.

Thexsixtyone.com - this music discovery site is the most enjoyable beta i joined in August, and using on daily basis. Thesixtyone is doing a great job with it's Bump system, user radio/profiles and community build-up. Beyond fresh tunes and smooth UI, Thesixtyone is a game, adding more to 'Play' - it's alive! Settings include auto-updates for FriendFeed, i hope they add more customized feeds, and improve the invite system.

OMGeroo! Great find Sean, Zee, Majenta is no name for a pirate, try MaRRRjento, or Majento during office hours ;-)
- Majento
The auto-updates t61 offers for FF are a wee bit flaky... I've had quite a few never show up... no idea why.
- abacab
i've been on the 61 for a couple of weeks now. i liked it for a few hours, but the music selection does nothing for me.
- Anika
I thought this would be just the same as Hype Machine, but on closer inspection it's like a stripped down version with none of the blogging parts. Which is good! Main rivals I guess could be Blip.fm, but I can see this being a great way to find new music :)
- CannonGod
If you have a huge movie collection, this is the program for you. Has script support to update movie details automatically from sites like IMDB etc. You can even keep tabs on who borrows your movies. And it's open source.

""Pencil is not intended to mimick web-oriented vector-based animation software such as Flash. Its main purpose is to make traditional animation. Neither does it try to rival commercial software targetting the professional animation sector. Pencil is intended to be a simple program enabling anyone to make 2D animation. ""

never heard of this - looks very impressive although i wonder how long it takes to get to grips with.
- Zee.
It's funny, because it reminds me a LOT of Futuresplash Animator (which became Flash 1.0) and super-early Flash. Boy, those were the days...and I don't miss them. ;)
- abacab
This is pretty cool. I've done a couple of animations. I love how simple it is.
- Stu Andrews
There's a youtube video that shows the workflow pretty well. I think it has a lot of potential. http://friendfeed.com/e... still need to play with it some more to really get a good flow going and create something cool.
- sergiooo
just amazing what's available to us nowadays.
- Zee.
Anyone find some help to really get this program working? I found it a little while ago and was really having trouble getting it to work properly.
