You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.

I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email.

Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier.
- Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys
- (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys!
- Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).

Been there, done that Jesse. For a while in the 90s I considered myself to be a hardcore anarcho-capitalist.

All I want is to be able to use FriendFeed as a Twitter client. I know I'm not alone. Why is it that Friendfeed doesn't allow you opt IN to including the ff.im link back to the conversation. How the heck do I turn this off - sometimes I want to link back to the conversation, but sometimes I don't. Users should have the choice.

This one change would literally result in a mass-exodus out of Twitter.com as people switched over to FriendFeed. This is the one reason no one uses friendfeed to update twitter - because every freakin message gets cut off and has a link back to friendfeed. It's so unnecessary. I get that they want people coming back to Friendfeed, but all this really does is prevent people from using friendfeed for content creation. Just be a better Twitter client, Friendfeed. Give us what we want.
- Steffan Antonas
i've always seen it as necessary since ff is so much better for conversations than twitter is - imho of course ;)
- mike "glemak" dunn
I would use Friendfeed exclusively if it weren't for this one annoying feature. I could completely ignore my Twitter clients if they made this one change. people hate the ff links Twitter posts because it shows that youre...ahem...not using Twitter.
- Steffan Antonas
while I'm on this rant...Friendfeed also needs to give users the option to turn off "auto-expand" for links within each post. It's a major knock to usability - nobody wants to see the entire link to anything. no one cares and it makes cut and paste a pain in the butt.
- Steffan Antonas
The reason for the short URL in the tweet sent to Twitter is due to FriendFeed's duplication detection: if the link wasn't there, and you fed your Twitter account back into FriendFeed, you'd have an infinite loop (Post something to FriendFeed, which then gets posted to Twitter, which then gets posted to FriendFeed, which then gets posted back to Twitter again). The shortlink tells...

- Mark Trapp
The link shouldn't have be used for loop detection, the source paramter is returned via the API so that should be enough surely.
- Paul Kinlan
Paul, I believe it's part of their duplication strategy, not necessary all of it. Benjamin Golub said this wrt the link on June 20: "You cannot post to Twitter from FriendFeed without the ff.im link at this point in time. The link is used to provide context and a way to get to the conversation (comments and likes) on FriendFeed. It is also very useful when we crawl your Twitter so we do not re-import entries that were created from FriendFeed causing duplicates."
- Mark Trapp
Agreed. FF is very close to a perfect Twitter client.
- Ted Roden
Mark - I believe that Paul makes a good point RE: the duplication of content issue.
- Steffan Antonas
@Jason and @Ted - I agree with you on how bad Twitter is at conversations. Friendfeed is fantastic at this, but not every post is meant to be a conversation. While you might have solved the duplication issue with a ff.im link being posted to Twitter every time, it doesn't solve the human issues it can cause. #1 Many people follow a link expecting something other than exactly what they...
more...
- Steffan Antonas
Please don't misunderstand - I LOVE friendfeed. I just think that this tweak would really improve the human part of the experience and get more people using Friendfeed exclusively.
- Steffan Antonas
@Mark - Let's also not forget that many people who use twitter, don't use FriendFeed. The argument that having a conversation in FriendFeed = better doesn't work that well when it requires people to set up an account first (even though I think they should ;-)).
- Steffan Antonas
I don't see why FriendFeed's only path towards being useful is to be a Twitter client: it's a social network on its own that happens to allow cross posting to Twitter, much like Flickr or Google Reader or even Facebook. It's to let your Twitter friends know that you're doing something on FriendFeed that they should check out. While there are many people who use Twitter that don't use...

Absolutely right on the money. If this was changed, I think we would see a lot more interactions. Right now when FF posts to Twitter it just looks like spam.
- Ben Hanten
@Mike - What I'm proposing wouldn't stop you from including the ff.im link if you wanted...all I want is to be able to have the choice to turn it off or include it every time I post. I'm not saying that Friendfeed should focus on being a Twitter client...I'm saying that since it allows you to update Twitter, you should be able to chose whether you include a link back to Friendfeed in your Twitter update preferences. That's all. I think there are a lot of people who would appreciate that small change.
- Steffan Antonas
@Mark - Thanks for being so involved in this conversation. I appreciate your candor and your opinion. I hope that you don't think that I'm suggesting that the only way that FriendFeed could be useful is to be a Twitter client. Please see my previous comment to mike above.
- Steffan Antonas
@Ben - I think a lot of non-friendfeed converts and Twitter purists have similar feelings...which is what I'm alluding to. It's not necessarily right, but a lot of people who use twitter exclusively have a negative reaction to the ff.im link - which ends up hurting who? The person posting! So what happens? people stick to twitter for twitter and friendfeed for friendfeed. One small change could pull more people into using Friendfeed for everything.
- Steffan Antonas
ah choice - ok got it (not that i think ff/fb would do it since their goal doesn't seem to be a twitter client)
- mike "glemak" dunn
@Mike - haha. yeah all I'm talking about is the choice. I'd think that ff/fb would love this option because it pulls people away from twitter and gets them to stay in friendfeed - isn't that what a Twitter killer would want to do...ie become the primary place for posting?
- Steffan Antonas
Nicholas - see Paul Kinlan's comment: "The link shouldn't have be to used for loop detection, the source parameter is returned via the API so that should be enough surely"
- Steffan Antonas
Yup, I wish for that too.
- Meryn Stol
Yeah. That would be the other problem. I agree. It's irritating. FF should automatically subtract the # of characters the link will take up and factor it into the character count.

I have the very same disks. I was recently reminiscing about them and my inability to throw away tech detritus on SuperUser (http://superuser.com/questio...).

Turbo C 2.0 was pretty much the pinnacle of C compiler speed. Everything from then on was slower because they keep on adding features. The whole Turbo C is probably smaller than a typical C++ STL Hello World program.

Did ya play it till your fingers bled? :)

It was `95 for me, my friend gave me Borland C++ 5.5 and the "Problem Solving and Abstraction in C++" book

I bought Modula-2 for the Amiga in the late 80's and had no clue what I was doing.
- Rodfather
I had a somewhat irrational dislike of C back then. So I did Pascal.
- Wirehead
I stuck with BASIC variations forever... GFA Basic, AmigaBASIC, STOS, AMOS... until I bought a "Learn C Programming" book around '92. That put me off code entirely. :D
- Roger Benningfield
I remember the Turbo C debugger was the first proper IDE I used. That DOS GUI create watches on variables blew my mind. My first departure from printf debugging.
- Tom Horn
Borland may not have invented the IDE, but as far as I'm concerned they perfected it.
- Gabe
Wow, Turbo Assembler, C++ Framework!! Somewhere I've both on the original Borland box :-)

Ah, good old Turbo C (Turbo Pascal was good too). I'd have to disagree slightly that it was all downhill after 2.0 -- I thought it was a great product up through 3.1. But they took a serious nosedive in the 4.x period, with the switch to Windows. After that it was all Watcom for me, at least for DOS/Windows games. The tools were ugly, but they worked really well.

Jesse - Wondering if one geekdom goes with the other. Passed General class back when you had to appear in person in the NYC Fed Bldg. I was 11 .... Big guy with a cigar watched if you were cheating :) Memories. Baskind ... Why am I not surprised. Think we were separated at birth or something ... what's next??
- Charlie Anzman
I was the Rochester, NY hamfest. I was never a ham though -- we just went for the tech flea market. I always loved overhearing conversations where people referred to each other by their call sign (e.g. "I just had lunch with WA2AAB and KA0GQI"). I guess it was kind of like Twitter ;)
- Paul Buchheit
i remember turbo C. What is wrong with me.
- anna sauce
Were you part of the old RTI/Apache clique?

I paid much more for ordering Turbo C 1.0 - but it was so exciting to use a real programming language.
- Oliver Bouchard
Those were good days and investment as well.
- James Stratford
'92? seriously? I was at high school running a pirate ftp site out of my dorm room (ethernet baby!) ME and a buddy were hacking up our own version of dikumud running on the schools sun "server". I don't know when I got my first C compiler, but it must have been < 1990. I remember it came on a disk in a "Teach yourself C" book. Good times.
- Joe Beda
Joe, this was my "first real C compiler" because I first tried to learn C by downloading some freeware C compiler from a FidoNet BBS along with a "learn C" text file (I was very cheap). The problem is that the compiler was not complete, so half the things in the "learn C" text file didn't compile. C was my first language (I never did Basic or any of that), so I was also learning to program, not just learning C. Needless to say, it was difficult.
- Paul Buchheit
I approve of this thread.
- Ted Roden
My first C compiler was in a class at a community college around 1989. We used Mix C, which seems to still exist: http://www.mixsoftware.com/product...

Paul, exactly - Ham Radio was the original "microblogging" network. Not only were we required to keep our messages short, we couldn't use a real alphabet. Imagine if Twitter were all Morse Code. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Hams!!!!! Funny, I just saw this and earlier today I posted a pic of my dad with his gear. http://ff.im/5CH8z He (and many others) is disappointed that learning morse code is no longer required.

BTW Paul: those aren't low-density floppies. If those are 360k, they are double-density floppies. Regular low-density floppies held either 160k or 180k depending on whether they were 8 or 9 sectors per track.
- Gabe
13 years late to the party (1969), I started using C in 1982. Started with Fortran, 6502 machine language (e.g. assembly language without the compiler), Basic, Cobol. Most of my "coding" is in Excel & HTML these days.
- Mitchell Tsai
I had those 'Turbo-C' compiler 5.25" floppies too, Paul! Aw.. souvenirs..
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
Yes, Turbo-C rocked! Turbo-C++ too. And Turbo-Pascal was a revelation! (at least for me: changed my life ;-))

I used Turbo Pascal. My first C compiler was THINK C (on the Macintosh).

It'll be funny if this 2009 thread bounces to the top ... Just did a search for my own call sign to be sure it was current .... Paul ... I remember the Rochester Hamfest well .... but I don't remember doing lunch? :)

Social Media Tip: Have you noticed Twitter's search archive doesn't go back far in time? Use Friendfeed.com instead.

I've taken to using FF to archive all my social media doings – it's great when I can remember reading/watching something but can't remember where it was. Best part? It doesn't matter if I digg, delicious, tumblr, whatever – it's always on friendfeed.

pardon my east coastness, but what exactly is "the valley" n CA?
Chieze Okoye, Ted Roden and James Stratford liked this
I've always understood it to be the Los Angeles basin, where all the little cities have squished together to become one big L.A. But being from Oregon, I could be wrong . . . 8-)
- LJF Wolffe
It's "the other side of the hill" from LA proper. When people say "The Valley", they mean San Fernando Valley. It's a bowl of suburbs being toasted to a crisp.
- Anika
Thanks for the good explanation. As another East Coastie I was wondering the same thing. The topographical maps hardly show a difference, especially if you don't know exactly where to look! :)
- James Stratford
I'm bored, so I did this: http://img2.pict.com/29.... The "LA Proper" section is a bit simplistic - West Hollywood and Santa Monica are their own cities, while all of the San Fernando Valley is actually in the City of LA, despite being on the other side of the hills. A bunch of the area south of my "LA Proper" is also City of LA. EDIT: Possible the east side of my LA Proper circle, as well - my geography knowledge breaks down over there.
- Jandy
Thank you. That was very helpful. Now I know where the Valley is; I was totally in the wrong place! 8-} Appreciate it!
- LJF Wolffe
No, no, no Wolffe. It's not "the Valley" it's "The Valley". You must capitalize both words for maximum pretension. ;)
