I wish you could add a 'Bookmark' link apart from the standard "Comment-Like-Share-Hide" for each thread/conversation/wave. Currently I go through Share > Short URL to find the url to bookmark a particular conversation or thread. It would be easier if there is just a "Bookmark" link.

Can't you do it by right clicking the timestamp and bookmarking directly? The one left of comment? This particular conversation is named http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Zu from AOD

Thanks E.Bailey-2010s Zu's FF! I only wish they had made this clearer like a clearly labeled "Bookmark" link or something like that! Right clicking on the timestamp works for me ! - TrafficBug

Is there way when you subscribe to a particular person's feed, you also get to know all the places they commented on? Currently it seems friendfeed only tracks those items which are originatingly shared by the concerned person to their feed. Or am I missing something?

Mmm.. what do you mean? Like everywhere on the Web? If it's comments, Backtype exists for that purpose. http://www.backtype.com/zjemily shows to you every move I did since I subscribed, where I comment and say it's me, anywhere. - Zu from AOD

In addition to (or instead of) subscribing to someone's feed, you can sub to their comments, which surfaces comments they make on other's posts that may not appear via FOAF alone: Go to "http: //friendfeed.com/<USERNAME>/comments" and click Subscribe to Comments. - Micah

Thanks Everyone! - TrafficBug

How do I add a line break when I type in some text to be shared in Friendfeed, if I press Enter, the "Post" button starts activated. I even tried Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter, the likely alternatives.

Fwd: Wow... I'm depressed now. Went on MoMB to try to find a service for RSS to Email and ended up browsing through a bunch of beta apps that I had followed and used for a while, most of which are no longer around. Couldn't find a single RSS to Email service that's still up either. (via http://friendfeed.com/bluecoc...)

Another thing is that I would like to be notified via email of threads of interest that I choose when I post to them. Takes a hard time trying to find something you remember you posted to and was of interest and it has scrolled beyond the first page of your 'my friendfeed' page (the page you get after login)

I'd like a 'star' system which allows me to click on a star and then track that thread in a 'starred' list then have the usual notification options. - Kol Tregaskes

Maybe you could subscribe to your comments? I thought of this and it gets me to think of it again. A query like this enables you to find anything you liked or commented on including a certain term "Apple comment:me OR like:me" that you could also do for any user. If that is possible, then try to do it, save the search, and have that. Else, put a hashtag like #trafficbug-noted (as Kol... more... - Zu from AOD

When you are reading something in the main page of friendfeed if there are new updates the display starts scrolling down for pulling up the update which is quite disconcerting. May be you can take a leaf from how search.twitter.com shows "3 new updates" or something like that which unless clicked wont pull up the updates.

Just hit pause and refresh with manually. - Kol Tregaskes

also if you move the mouse over the post it will pause - Mike Chelen

++ Mike Chelen, I'm using that technique when I get a call, treat it, get back to the page, and because I'm active moving the mouse between panels/apps it gets to pause, as soon as the call end, I have to deal with 300+ queued items, and with a proxy, you can be sure it flows down like crazy , exactly when I get back to the web page hehe. That is a valuable tool when in a rush. 1. Shake a bit 2. Not interesting? Stop shaking, 3. Else, repeat. - Zu from AOD

is there an app/program that fits this usage scenario: I would add varying lengths of text (text snippets) and it would keep on adding them into a 'black hole', and provide a search interface (bring up results as I start typing). I have been using Treepad to categorize and archive text snippets, and it has really grown a lot... any alternatives?

I am not looking for indexing documents on the local drive - that would be done by Google client or x1, the prob with treepad is that, you would need to spend time opening the correct treepad file and then navigating to the right folder in the left... I would also need to take backups and the backup would need to be single or spliced files (user defined size) (but this point is not that important). - TrafficBug

I'm not sure what do you want. But have you researched about evernote？ - yezi from fftogo

I did check Evernote, but it stores my stuff on the web. I would like something where I can store my data locally, and a minimal program, I think Evernote is kinda bloated. A notepad like interface where I can copy paste text, and it goes into a free form database, and when I start typing in the search bar, the relevant text snippets that contain those words would appear in the search results - very simple really, I already checked google desktop - it indexes files - I would like less files, not more... - TrafficBug

I tried Connected Text wiki and was turned off by the number of buttons in the toolbar. - TrafficBug

I found what I originally wanted: Cintanotes.com! It lets me tag notes and operates like a black hole of notes into which all notes go with tags. When I start typing it brings up results! Superb! - TrafficBug

Atta Bug, Traffic. - Russellreno

++ Cintanotes, good app. - Zu from AOD

Fwd: I sometimes get the message 'Oops! there was a problem, Learn more..' when trying to add comments to items in Friendfeed. The error message disables the "Post" button altogether, sometimes I know it is just my router losing an intermittent network connection, so if the Post button was nt disabled, i could just hit it again and it would work....

Could you make the Post button still enabled, even in the event of an error while posting, so it can be clicked again... - TrafficBug

If it was to comment/like/expand comments on a post, and this one was deleted to be reposted, or changed, then this occurs, almost 90% of the time. When I use my proxy at work, it takes about 4-7 seconds for a like to be put on the post, if the individual has deleted it, imagine the latency I had, still looking at the same post, some hours after it was deleted, then this would occur for sure. - Zu from AOD

I got a Google Wave invite, but I got nothing in my Google Wave inbox for quite some time now! Where can I find public waves (interesting ones) to subscribe to? Or do I have to be *invited* to a wave to become part of it (blip)?

Ok found this from a lifehacker article - "In fact, if you're feeling lonely in Wave, the first Wave search you should try is with:public." - TrafficBug

Found this after some searching: "There is wavedirectory.net (a site I built when I started waving in October 09) where you can find public waves sorted by popularity. That should get you started. You can also list your waves there by adding wavedirectory@appspot.com to the conversation. Note that only the wave owner can add their wave to the directory. Hope this helps." - TrafficBug

do you not know about the Complete Guide to Google Wave? http://completewaveguide.com the authors are Adam Pash and Gina Trapani (the lifehacker folks) - Chris Heath

Thanks Chris, I will take a look at it, it looks too hefty a read for me. I wanted something to get started quickly to access public waves to see how it works... - TrafficBug

it's a work in progress, since wave is changing still - i find it best used as a reference - Chris Heath

Fwd: What is the difference between GetGlue and MyLikes.com services to share your likes/tastes/dislikes etc. Any users with experiences using both, can compare and contrast the good/bad/ugly of these services? Which one should I choose as the better of the lot? Is there an alternate service along the likes of these two? (via http://friendfeed.com/traffic...)

January 30, 2010 - Comment - Like - Share

Never used GetGlue.. MyLikes.com is nicely made, it's like FriendFeed but for products, that you search for pictures and videos at the same time of posting so you can add to the "recommendation post" you create, your like, and between those are campaign related likes, which pay when tweeted/URLs clicked on. Budgets are defined by the campaign creator, so you promote until there's no money on that campaign, that's basically how it works. Influencer VS Advertiser. - Zu from AOD

I've only used GetGlue. And in all honesty I love it and AdaptiveBlue continues to make improvements to it. Now, I should disclose that I am close to the inner circle doing beta testing, etc. and get free swag. - Mathew™ aka Youngblood

Have an idea for Google - automatically populate interest categories based on previous click throughs on ads, for example if I clicked on a shopping > electronics ad before, then probably it can add this category to my ad preferences and show electronics shopping ads... - TrafficBug

Since RSSCloud plugin has been released, (for quick rss pings for your blog posts to reach rss readers) should we go ahead and install the plugin in wordpress blogs? WPD already have it? Can anybody confirm?
