Money talks... We need space and bandwidth immediately. I'll risk it alone if need be- And will manage in the interim as well if need be.

I'd be happy to offer up my server - it's not being used for much right now. I have a good deal with a fully managed hosting provider that is *really* good. Just let me know if people are interested. - Patrick Lightbody

10 Suggestions To Improve FriendFeed's Beta

August 27 at 1:54 am - Link

TheThirdEye, Dave Martin, mr-mojo-risin, Andrew Terry and 103 other people liked this

Well put, Louis - I think you covered all my frustrations - Jesse Stay

2, 5, 7, 8 are my favorites. I'd also like to add the ability to hide certain post that match a keyword, e.g. McCain etc.. - Tibor Holoda

Show 34 more comments

Tibor, you are right. Forgot that one. A rooms directory also seemed to small for a list of ten. - Louis Gray

Feel free to make it 11 point long, it seems everyone's a sleep still anyway ;) - Tibor Holoda

Good points. I'm particularly keen on 1, 2, 6 and 7. Reshared to Friendfeed Beta room btw. - David Young

I commented on it. Mostly love the suggestions. - Robert Scoble

1 and 10 I really like. - John Worthington

#9 is essential. - Mo J

I'd also like to see Disqus comments to be treated as comments, which by implementing Louis suggestion in point 2, will make more sense i guess. Comments are comments, posts are posts. In case there will be no link to which the comment is added, it could work like posting a link with the Disqus comment under. Btw, @Robert, you don't have Disqus hooked up in FF ;) - Tibor Holoda

Excellent post Louis. You are pretty much spot on with those 10 suggestions. - Mike Fruchter

Tibor: I don't like Disqus pulling in comments here. Often I want different communities to remain separate. I'll manually pull in comments or point out when I've made comments that FriendFeeder's should be aware of. Like I did here. - Robert Scoble

FriendFeed is a lifestream aggregator and I use it to aggregate all my various 'outputs'. Disqus comments are just one category of my 'outputs'. Therefore, Disqus comments are perfectly valid and *do* belong in my FriendFeed stream The fact, that such comments may be out of context to people bending FF into a Social Media Forum is an unfortunate consequence. - Andy C

11. add user definable font size. the new beta makes me squint :) - h1ro

#9! I hide things liberally and it does bug me, when I click on page 2, I'm seeing page 1 all over again. - Yolanda

Free booze?? - john conroy

Great suggestions Louis, I would also add: The Ability to Hide Specific RSS Feeds and Search All Entries by URL - Shey

and go-faster stripes, a background of babes in bikinis, and intermittant embedded hilarious fart noises. - john conroy

I have to so that FF has been growing well with the current feature set. Like all areas of activity contraints can sometimes be helpful. FF needs to innovate itself, rather than copy straight from Twitter (DM's), Facebook (profiles) etc. 2,4,10 are most important. The issue here is not so much what features we want as how can FF grow into a mature platform. - Roberto Bonini

Robert: I see your point, but i still think it would be a good thing to handle Disqus comments as comments, not as posts. User decides, if he wants them appear in his FF stream or not - like in your case. - Tibor Holoda

Great List Louis! #2 is my favorite one. - Peter Hoffmann

Tibor, I agree with you (Robert, when are you going to enable Disqus on your blog?). For the blog owner it's much easier to consolidate into one place if they can tie your comments straight to the FriendFeed post itself instead of an entirely new post. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

One more suggestion - tagging. I want to be able to tag individuals, both in my posts, *and* my comments if I'm talking about them or something they might be interested in. - Jesse Stay via twhirl

Excellent list. My top priority though, isn't on there - (as per Shey) renaming or separating "Blog" posts, so individuals can hide your blog vs. another "blog" .. I'd also like it easier to determine which services I am/am not showing per individual. Just give me some enable/disable checkboxes on the users page. Strands did this right. - Tim Hoeck

Great suggestions Louis. One clarification on #4 -- most people never see this "default" list because they were either invited by another user, or they import friends from email or facebook. The recommendations are then based entirely on who their other friends are, and will make a lot more sense. - Paul Buchheit

Indeed some good suggestions. My guess is that the reason that #2 (duplicates) has not been implemented yet, is that it is very tricky to do right. If they do manage to implement it and get it right, I will be very impressed. I would not be too surprised though, since Friendfeed has some really sharp people working there. - Robert Felty

Excellent List and some good suggestions in comments as well. I really would like to see 2,3,5,6, & 10. The share on FF bookmarklet should be more like Tumblr's. I would also like to be able to filter my feed to prevent duplicates. I would like to cross post my tumblr to my main blog and twitter but in doing so I create more noise for my FF stream. If I could filter out posts from blog or twitter that started with "XYZ" then I could cross post freely without worrying about FF noise. - tsudohnimh

@Paul, thanks for the comment. I did test by signing up to just one individual, as if they had invited me, and by changing the one person I subscribed to, the recommended friends did change. That said, if you check out recommended friends in Facebook, there's the option to "X" out people you don't want and provide more. Plaxo also does this well. - Louis Gray

Re: #1 and #8 I would like to see profile information that I can search, so I can find FF folks who are geographically near me or who are in my profession or who share a common interest with me. Great post - thanks! - Courtney McGough

Pownce should worry about #10. FF will soon have to worry about cannibalizing its data suppliers, and what that means for ongoing openness. #! & #2 are the big ones with me, and I just don't see why FF enabled fake followers. - Logical Extremes

being 1st or 2nd is all that matters in that particular field.... 3rd placings and below would normally whither away - Mark L via twhirl

I am really getting confused. I just commented on the post. Now I see the comments here as posts. Totally agree with Tibor, messing posts together with comments, be it from Disqus or anywhere else, does not increase transparency. - Jan Horna

#7 - want to make sure i understand that concept of "fake follow" - home feed contains all friends by default & you can then add them to a list/grouping to subdivide them for easier readability - to remove them from the home feed you have to actually de-select them when you add them to a list and then never go to that list again - is that what "fake follow" is - if so, way to much work for no return and only lame*ss self absorbed status mongers will be doing it - imho of course :) - mike "glemak" dunn

#5 - My thought would be to make an invitation-only private room. Wouldn't this solve the partial-distribution problem? - Mitchell Tsai

Mitchell, it could, and some do, but that's a room, and not a feed. Unless the room data permeates the feed, it could get missed. - Louis Gray

I like your list. One other feature I'd like to see is to filter by service in whatever view I am in. - Jeff P. Henderson

The absolute killer feature for me would be, if FF will recognize languages of the posts, or at least to differentiate between english vs. non-english and allow filtering. Would that even be possible or did my brain just farted? :) - Tibor Holoda

(sorry for cross posting) Firstly, I'd like to add to Louis' list the capability to search rooms and then to search inside rooms. Secondly, I must confess that support for a basic profile would be useful. But as always I'd encourage the reuse of data (so importing it from whatever source the user decides). DMs might be usefull, but I haven't felt the need for them so far. - Alex Popescu

I usually don't like to speak about things that are not ready, but this post was catchy. I currently have a prototype that deals with de-duping the resource links. I haven't looked into de-duping pure messages, but my gut feeling is that this might be even easier. I hope to find the time to deploy this app sometime soon. - Alex Popescu

About private messaging: at first I thought this was a silly idea for ff, until I realized that the private messages could just show up where ff items normally show up, e.g. private comments. - j1m
