Thanks Bret! :) - Matt Ruiz

Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend. - Bret Taylor

Great! Thanks! Love FF! - Scott Monaco

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. - Bret Taylor

This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Mark: http://friendfeed.com/bret... - Casey Muller

Lovely. Thanks guys. - Mitchell Tsai

Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest. - Drew Lucas

Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...) - Mitchell Tsai

WOW. that's really helpful！ - K.D.

Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro. - Louis Gray

Cool! - Josh Haley

Just curious - at what time of the day will we get these emails ? Midnight US-Time, or will it respect our timezones ? - Ahsan Ali

Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry! - Bret Taylor

Thanks Bret - Ahsan Ali

Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"? - 0M0M from email

Cool - Nimaa

This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution. - Kathy Fitch

Nice addition! - Michael Fidler

But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments? - Laura Norvig

@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count! - Alp

@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-) - Alp

Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists) - Benjamin Golub

Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :) - Paul Kinlan

Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks! - Jim Connolly

awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :) - Susan Beebe

Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too. - Meryn Stol

my inbox might say different, but I like that :-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev

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). - Kol Tregaskes

does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed .. - Friendfeed's Francisco

That's a cool feature - Xitong Liu

FWIW this isn't working for me any longer. Perhaps that has something to do with my Gmail settings though. - Mark J

Emails no longer get sent except for Subscriptions. The last non-sub email I recieved was July 15th, 2011. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

I still get them. - AJ Batac :)

I get these every day. - NotdaBOTTurlokin4

FriendFeed, please forgive for I have sinned. I have been seeing someone else behind your back. That someone is called Google+

alperyz, 士慷, C2.E0 and 71 other people liked this

Seriously folks, I think we've found a great new service. I hope you all at least give it a fair chance (when you get your invite of course). It's very slick, it's very FriendFeed-friendly (very similar to our beloved FF) and has users, lots of them and they are all interacting with each other and posting on all sorts of topics. - Kol Tregaskes

32 more comments

You'll find me over here for the moment: https://plus.google.com/1044055.... I've not been this excited about a new service since this very one I post on. - Kol Tregaskes

Yeah, but all I see is the same useless noise (crap) wrapped in a new candy wrapper. Slightly better features is fine, but unless it exponentially improves what has been said, it's just pixie dust on a dog turd - Johnny

I was impressed how well the hanging out feature worked. - Mike Nencetti

Waiting for Google to honour the invite i was sent.... grrrr - Roberto Bonini

I'm waiting for importing and exporting. And for the folks with a terrible combination of ADHD and OCD to get sick of it and leave, or to calm the hell down. - Victor Ganata from iPhone

What Victor said. - Derrick

Johnny, I see no noise. I use Google+'s circles (which are just FriendFeed-like friends lists). - Kol Tregaskes

Victor, I can't see that happening. It's all native and I think Google will stick to that. Possibly a good thing as it avoids everything simply importing their tweets, leaving and not using the service. You actually have to be active on Google+. - Kol Tregaskes

Kol. I have lists/circles set up too. I just see the same stuff there that I do here. And I'm not going to do all the work for no real benefit. And they better do something about import cause if it's just Google native, i don't want it. It has to be a central hub, not a closed garden - Johnny from iPhone

I can't wait to get an invite! It's about time someone else gave Facebook a run for their money, they have become complacent and arrogant and have had no competition up until now. - Technogran

You know, perhaps you guys are right and should just stay over here( please). Victor, make sure you give your customary block when you there. Jesus. - Joe from YouFeed

I wanna try! - Marissa

The feature missing is the ability to import from any random site (using either custom importers or RSS/Atom). Without that, it's just another gated-garden (not quite a walled-garden, but G+ wants you to create your content on G+ it seems). I create content all over the internet, not just one one site. - Andy Bakun

+1 mr bakun - chaz2b

FF's import feature is nice but when I look back on the best conversations I've had at FF, they're the ones that started on FF (or the bookmarklet), not the ones imported from Twitter/Tumblr/Flickr/Reader/etc. The imported items seem to generate less interesting conversations. - Amit Patel

One major flaw is that not even Google Reader (which is a major source of interesting conversations for me) imports into Google+, which just seems absurd. I don't see the benefit of moving from Facebook to Google+ if it's going to be more of a silo than Facebook is. - Victor Ganata

But they'll definitely import from Buzz some time, no? And Buzz does import from whatever else.. - Ruchira S. Datta

I hope so. The potential for Google to tightly integrate all its products seems like it would be a huge selling point, but the beta certainly isn't there yet. Google+ doesn't even have search! - Victor Ganata

Honestly, it feels like a real beta. Not a Google beta where they just leave the label on, but a real, not-ready-for-prime-time beta. - Alex Scrivener

+1 Alex... they're actively seeking feedback and releasing changes as they code them - Jorge Escobar

Very much agree Victor. Google reader is a big source of interesting conversations. I'm much less likely to read something in GR and then manually go to G+ and post a link. The browser note facility isn't perfect, but it's simple and immediate. - Todd Hoff

I have a feeling Google+ is going to have search. Intersecting search with circles may be tricky and has to be done perfectly... - Ruchira S. Datta

I think it's too early to say "it doesn't have this and that and therefore it's of no interest." The question is are they committed enough to G+ to improve it and add some of these requested features (which they didn't do with Buzz). The things they've done so far they've done quite well, which is promising. A better share mechanism from GReader and other sites would be great (could be... more... - Jandy

Hopefully I can try it out, soon. - Solveigh Calderin

Hope so. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Only if you are truly repentant... - Ladyepiphanybug

Oh, Google+ is certainly compelling. But is it going to make me abandon Facebook/Twitter/Friendfeed given its current feature set? Most definitely no. The devs seem to be way more responsive to suggestions compared to Buzz, but I honestly can't remember a major Google product that wasn't almost completely perfect out-of-the-box. I supposed I've been spoiled because of their previous misuse of the term "beta" :) - Victor Ganata

G+ is very good, but I still find myself comparing it to FF. And while dev here has stalled for the last year. It just goes to show you how strong they were before that both FB & G+ are emulating large portions of FF's environment. - Bluesun 2600

#kolgoogleplus - Kol Tregaskes

FF (like Soylent Green) is actually made of people. Just add your FF into an FF circle and pretend it's the new beta. Re: Twitter, NOVWL. - Goran Zec

I still find FF's UI (Helvetica theme w/ adblocked banner) superior to anything. And the real time stream is crazy impressive years later. And it seems bug free and the search works these last few months.

Is this what they call re-inventing the wheel? Apart from the 'front' (steer) wheel being at the back, this design/concept has been a round for a very long time. - Kevin J Hatton

Kevin, the Terratrike, a tadpole-type (the other one is "delta") tricycle steers in the front (Ackerman steering), not in the back, only Leo hasn't figured out yet how to adjust it properly and screw down the handlebars. This model is too small for him, as he'll soon be bound to discover, but there are other brands on the market, of bigger size and far better quality. - ianf ⌘

Thanks for the info ianf⌘, it is good to know that this wasn't truly representative of this new design. - Kevin J Hatton

Well, Leo's mouth-agape reaction was typical, representative of the initial awe one feels while riding a recumbent trike. It's like being in the fairground "radio cars" of the fifties. But he's quite mistaken that he is "very low to the ground." This is average height for such trikes, with eyes on the same level as in fast convertibles; there are competition trikes with 20 degree seat... more... - ianf ⌘

It is NOT too small for him and in fact was custom sized for him from the factory. He rides it daily and loves it. - Jeff Yonker

Thanks Enrique, I'll post some more soon. They are a little more obvious than these ones. As Luke points out; without being able to look closely it's impossible to tell. He's right; but up close it's more obvious. I'll upload the originals to Picasa later, and then you'll be able to zoom in with any photo viewer and see for yourselves. I can't believe how many people liked these. A few people have reposted them already. Thanks! - Michael Fidler

Absolutely awesome, Michael. You are extremely talented. Everyone should repost these pix and help to make you famous. You should be doing this full time - you obviously have some passion for this. Bravo. - Chris Loft

These are really beautiful, Michael. Do you sell them? - Shannon Jiménez

Chris, I would love to say they're mine, but it's not true. I've had them for a while, but I'll find the artists names. It will just require a little backtracking. Besides, they deserve the credit; all I did was find them:-) - Michael Fidler

Kol, I can't thank you enough! Kol found another post which helps to prove that these are done in pencil.

Yeah we know, thanks though, James. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Excellent pictures - how long did it take you to scan the photographs into Photoshop and then edit them? The only pencil that has come into contact with these "drawings" is the Photoshop pencil. A tip - stop trying to fool people into thinking you are a "real" artist, because all you are doing is cheapening proper artist's works whom have spent hours creating real pictures as opposed to a few minutes on a graphics editing package. - The Wimp

A bell does ring here. And I am remembering why I was so attracted to the tiger...and the lion for that matter. These are exact replicas of prints I had in our bedroom when I lived in Dallas. I had bought the prints (in color) at a department store, - Melanie Reed

Actually, I have learned quite a bit about these drawing since I made this post. Not only have I discovered all of the artists, but I've learned more about how they are created. They are always copied from a photograph or painting, but usually a photograph. It is extremely time consuming and detail orientated work. There are many other artists besides the ones featured here who practice... more... - Michael Fidler

the site spammed above must all be done in pencil too, right, thats why you posted it? - Iphigenie

I'm amazed that people are still posting these photographs of animals and calling them pencil drawings. This is at least the third case I can remember (and there are probably more) of this happening. The myth about them being drawings was debunked long ago. It's also funny that whenever they get posted the person posting them doesn't make it clear that they aren't the artist, exactly as you have done. - canadianmaple09

@canadianmaple09 I posted these back in March, 2009 when I was beginning to use FF regularly. I ran them through TinEye hoping to find their source, but it returned no results. When I ran through again yesterday, TinEye returned over four pages of results. If I had it to do over again, would I? Yes - Michael Fidler

The people you refer do don't join "just to slam" someone, they are concerned members of the online art community that want to see real art appreciated and fake art or photos being passed off as drawings revealed for what they really are. Artists such as Brian Duey, Armin Mersmann, Paul Lung, Zindy Nielsen,and many others do not receive the appreciation they deserve because of scams like this. - canadianmaple09

canadianmaple09, the worthiness of your motives notwithstanding (and they are worthy, definitely) you could definitely have approached Michael completely differently by say, giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than attacking in a highly accusatory tone. - Chieze Okoye

When you've seen these same pictures posted multiple times by people that just find them on the internet and claim they are pencil drawings, when it has already been established on multiple occasions that they are not, the "benefit of the doubt" approach seems a little too generous. People post these images and claim they're drawings to get views for their own site or blog or page or whatever it is they post it on. It's wrong and it needs to be stopped. - canadianmaple09

I can understand that, but you should also keep in mind that everyone is not as well-versed in the issue as you are. All I'm saying is that you would probably be more effective in this case if you weren't setting this up as a us-vs.-them, "must destroy with the validity my argument!" attitude when talking to a guy who's been actively having a discussion on the issue in what seems to me (having been around when he first posted the images and the follow up thread and what not) to be good faith. - Chieze Okoye

Look at his first comment here. People clearly thought he drew them. He doesn't set the record straight. He also claims that they "are actually pencil drawings" and that "I have more drawings too." Later he claims that you need to look at them closer to see they are drawings and that he will "post the originals". Once again, this makes it sound like they are his. This follows the same... more... - canadianmaple09

Greg and Chieze, thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. @canadianmaoles09, for what it’s worth, I share your concerns about giving proper attribution when sharing also. However, I admit that I'm more conscious of it now than I was at the time of this post. Nevertheless, I have never taken credit for anybody's work here other than my own! - Michael Fidler

BTW, I didn't realize it before, but I just noticed that you're new here too. I hope you like it so far and spend more time here. IMO, friendfeed is still the best thing around! - Michael Fidler

I would probably qualify as an image analysis expert, but there's no way to prove that online. One thing we can do is look at color. Even though the images are black and white,they're actually RGB images, meaning they contain cyan magenta and yellow. If you look at the image of the rhino you have posted then look at the photo of the rhino at the photographer's site you can see they both... more... - erik weisz

My Windows 7 experience thread (Clean install from Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, 1.73GHz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, Performance Index 2.9).

Installation actually happened this past Sunday. It's just as fast as you heard it is. LOVE that you can keep your old documents even for clean installs (they get put into a Windows.old folder) - LANjackal

Yes, it's FAST. I feel like I got a brand new PC. Not kidding. - LANjackal

Tip: If you can't stand the large icons in the Start Menu, download Ultimate Windows Tweaker here http://www.thewindowsclub.com/ultimat... and toggle the "Use Small Icons" in the Start Menu settings - LANjackal

Windows 7 <-> Vista networking support is troublesome if the machines aren't all 64-bit or 32-bit only. See here: http://friendfeed.com/tech-su... - LANjackal

It still takes way too many clicks to determine your own IP address. That's just silly. - LANjackal

Boot and shutdown times have been greatly improved for sure - LANjackal

I cranked the UAC settings up to the max, since I prefer to be reminded when anything that requires elevation is happening (the warning lets me think about what I'm doing, which I like). In 7, secure desktop loads a lot faster than it did in Vista, so the annoyance is minimal. - LANjackal

Graphics performance is superb. PCs without discrete GPUs will fly through Aero Flip 3D, which wasn't previously the case - LANjackal

Another (major) pro tip: Get Windows 7 Inside Out by Ed Bott. Excellent, excellent resource. I've been using that series since XP SP1 and love it. It will save you a lot of Googling and searching. It also comes with a PDF version on disc so you can search it from your PC too - LANjackal

Windows 7 now stores all your credentials (including server logins) under your Account Settings. Upshot: centralized management. Downside: If you're not aware of it, it can be annoying. If you enter the wrong credentials for a server, tell 7 to recall them and the login fails, all you'll get is an error message with no way to change the credentials from Explorer. You'll have to go back... more... - LANjackal

The above trend of centralization and simplification continues throughout 7. For example, you can't pin a shortcut to BOTH the Start Menu & the Taskbar. MS is really trying to eliminate redundancy not only in the OS but also in user behavior IMO - LANjackal

Earlier I'd posted that PS3 Media Server didn't work. Wrong. The trick is to reinstall the entire app if it can't install the service. I'm switching back to it and dumping TVersity, which seems to bloated for what I want it to do. - LANjackal

WMP 12 continues to be an unsung standout among media players. The newest development: the Play tab can now manage several playlists at once via its own back/forward buttons. What this means is that you can create instant playlists from searches WITHOUT losing the one you were listening to before, even if that one wasn't saved to a hard copy. If you prefer WMP folderize and rename your music files for you, ensure you change the Rip Music folder to where the tracks are actually located or it won't. - LANjackal

W7 just saved me $2K. How? Well, before I'd been planning to get a brand new high performance desktop from Alienware or the like. But my old laptop is so speedy after upgrading that I can comfortably shelve that idea and upgrading my LAN to 100% gigabit for under $200 instead - LANjackal

The new taskbar really really changes the way you think about multitasking. Since shortcuts and open windows are now represented in the same space, you're no longer glaringly aware of how many windows you have open - LANjackal

I love Win 7. I too saved money when I did a clean install on my four year old HP. BTW my PI is 3.1. - Russellreno

TROUBLE IN DRIVERLAND: Took a picture earlier tonight with my Canon, inserted card into reader on laptop. Nada. Turns out 7 never recognized it to begin with. Fortunately the driver question seems pretty common - it's right on the Toshiba Support front page. I downloaded and installed it and the reader works now. Also installed a driver for my WiFi adapter, just in case since I haven't had to use it yet and don't wanna find out it doesn't work when I actually need it - LANjackal

Update: WiFi card works - LANjackal

So, MS had publicly stated that all Vista drivers would work in Windows 7, and that's been mostly true from what I've seen. The fine print is that the installation process may not necessarily be the same & following the Vista instructions in 7 could result in some pretty odd - albeit reversible - problems. Such as this one: http://friendfeed.com/tech-su... - LANjackal

Major annoyance: it is a documented fact that Windows 7 (and perhaps Vista) will allow USB connections to "sleep" when they're not used for long periods of time (apparently this is a power saving measure) The problem gets worse when a USB hub is involved. My printer and hub often disappear from the PC if I haven't actively used them for a long time, and a reboot is the only thing that fixes it. - LANjackal

iPad jailbroken in a single day by iPhone Dev-Team member MuscleNerd | Early hack gets root on iPad - http://www.macnn.com/article...

iPhone Dev-Team member MuscleNerd revealed this afternoon that he has already managed to jailbreak the iPad after just a day of sales. The crack is a variation on the same "Spirit" jailbreak recently used to de-restrict iPhone 3.1.3 and, like the earlier technique, is believed to use a browser-based exploit as part of a trick to get root access and let unsigned apps run on the tablet. It's not yet evident how easily this could be made into an automated process for regular users. A jailbreak was virtually expected following the iPad's launch, but the rapid discovery has shown that the iPhone 3.2 firmware used on the device hasn't patched all of the security holes that were present in the 3.1.3 code. Most jailbreaks to date have used vulnerabilities either in Safari or the OS itself to grant unrestricted access. The combination of the risk to users and Apple's own general discouragement of jailbreaking has led to many of these jailbreaks being rendered inert over time with firmware updates. - The Real sofarsoShawn from Bookmarklet
