"ITA Software is proud to introduce Needle™, a revolutionary platform for acquiring, integrating, cleansing, analyzing and publishing data on the web. Using Needle through a web browser, without programmers or DBAs, your data team can easily: * acquire data from multiple sources: A simple tagging process quickly imports structured data from complex websites, XML feeds, and spreadsheets into a unified database of your design. * merge, deduplicate and cleanse: Needle uses intelligent semantics to help you find and merge variant forms of the same record. Your merges, edits and deletions persist even after the original data is refreshed from its source. * build and publish custom data views: Use Needle's visual UI and powerful query language to configure exactly your desired view of the data, whether as a list, table, grid, or map. Then, with one click, publish the data for others to see, or export a feed of the clean data to your own local database."

Switched away from memcached gem hack (http://github.com/chuyeow...) by using Tokyo Tyrant in place of memcached. Feels clean and perf seems good!

FriendFeed's new "Include @replies" feature -- starting April 6, FF is reducing noise by not importing @reply tweets from Twitter feeds (unless the account owner specifies they do want @replies included)
Myrna, A Mitchell, scott willeke and 110 other people liked this
By default, "Include @replies" is off. From now on (starting today, April 6), if you have a twitter feed as one of your services, FriendFeed will NOT import any @replies UNLESS you check this box. To access this feature (only necessary if you DO want to import your @replies), go to http://friendfeed.com/setting... then click on your twitter feed.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Note that it does NOT apply to @mentions in the body of the tweet, those are always included whether or not this box is checked.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Ahhhh Now me understandy.....
- Roberto Bonini
After Twitter implemented this I ended up using Twitter very differently and would send @replies very freely, but didn't want them to go to my 3000 twitter followers or my 3000 FF followers, so I removed my Twitter import to FriendFeed. Now that I can choose to exclude @replies from entering my Friendfeed stream I can bring the Twitter back!
- Kevin Fox
Went to check the box to include them, and apparently... "We could not find the given account". -_-
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
Penguin, I get the same error. FriendFeed thinks my account is protected, too, and it isn't.
- Akiva
Paul and FF team, this is very cool, thanks for implementing this! (And thanks to Kevin and Ben for pushing Paul to implement.) I really like that this is UNCHECKED by default -- that means from this day forward, no more out of context @replies unless the account owner jumped through a hoop for us to see them.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
it's a good thing I already know all the people I'll ever want to meet, huh? no need to discover who my friends are talking to. :( :( :( the fact that this wasn't the case on FF was one of my favorite things about the site. really. One of, anyway.
- Marshall Kirkpatrick
Marshall, I see what you're saying, but 99% of the time it's totally out-of-context and just noise. That's how I feel about it, anyway.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Clarification from Kevin: This ONLY applies to @replies that are at the beginning of the tweet ("official" @replies). It will NOT exclude any random @mentions in the body (or if you use the starting-with-a-period-or-space trick).
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Nice! Who said FriendFeed is no longer innovating and the devs are all working on other projects. That's more than Buzz has produced recently.
- Jesse Stay
The great thing about this compared to Twitter is you can still enable @replies. Twitter there is no option.
- Jesse Stay
Akiva and Penguin McSparkles, what is the problem you are seeing? I just checked both of your accounts and they seem to be working fine.
- Paul Buchheit
Jesse, let's not pick on the little guys. They're working really hard to catch up.
- Bruce Lewis
By the way, just to make sure I reference the proper sources and give credit: This hasn't been officially announced on the FF blog or anything yet. The feature was added by Paul B. today. FFers found out about it from Paul's post (http://friendfeed.com/paul...), and the feature was first uncovered in Kevin's post (http://friendfeed.com/kfury...) by Jason Fleming. I stole wording from Brian Daniel Eisenberg.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Interesting counterpoint by Jimminy here: http://friendfeed.com/jimminy... and blog post by Johnny here: http://friendfeed.com/jworthi...
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Paul, it seems to be working okay now, but when I initially went to my services to check the box to include @replies, I got the error "We could not find the given account" after clicking to save my changes. After a few tries and a couple minutes wait, however, it did let me save the setting.
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
Penguin, glad it's working now. Akiva, is it also working for you now?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Thank God, they've updated FF with something!
- Ciaoenrico
Penguin, it was probably due to Twitter server timeouts -- we don't always do a good job of distinguishing between different types of errors.
- Paul Buchheit
This is great - thanks guys!

WIN you need to only look at my feed to see why it's necessary: http://friendfeed.com/sofarso... it's throttled with tweets ~ if you go back a page or two, as I'm pretty sure this feature was in place yesterdayish
- sofarsoShawn
when filtering the feed we get from people we follow, can we filter them back out? I already have too much "non interactive" twitter noise in my feed... guess i should just remove all their twitter, if they dont interact here :D
- Iphigenie
Good, I like it.
- Amit Morson
hell yeaaaah! that's great :)
- N.Onur ATAHAN

- Meryn Stol
Why isn't it configurable through the Advanced Twitter Settings?
- Amit Morson
Amit, but that's for how FF publishes TO Twitter, not how your feed from Twitter comes into FF.

Not only that I've been waiting for this for more than a year, but also because I see some new developments here for the 1st time in ages... :-)
- Ton Zijp
It looks like you could create an 'imaginary friend' (now a private group) and import someone's public Twitter feed and get all the @replies, regardless of the setting that the user choses on FriendFeed. Yes, you have to work to @stalk someone, but it is possible.
- Ken Gidley
I'm curious if anyone else a) is trying to turn this setting to on and b) finds that the setting won't stick? It saves without an error, but it also remains turned off.
- Bill Mason
Bill, still seeing the issue? Try setting it from a different browser maybe?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
from iPhone
Yeah, I'm still seeing it. I've tried it now in 3 different browsers, on both a PC and a Mac. The setting doesn't save.
- Bill Mason
Bill, that's bizarre. It saves for me. What if you create a new twitter feed for testing purposes, does it save if you create it from scratch?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
When I created a new account, at first it didn't work. Looking at it, I noticed that the 'updates are protected' box was checked by default even though the test account was not protected, so I unchecked it and it worked after that. So on my main account, I decided to toggle the protected updates box there too. And it magically started working with that box toggled to 'on' even though my account is not really a protected account. So, go figure. At least it works.
- Bill Mason
This would be a good thread for a "dislike" option. :) Count me as one who doesn't like the new feature, either. I'd much rather have had the option of whether or not to see *other* people's @ replies. It *will* reduce conversations on FF that would have been generated from @ replies - especially from folks with large subscriber bases...
- Thomas
Yeah, setting seems backward to me too. I don't care whether others see my @ replies or not, but I do care if I see their @ replies. I now have control over the thing I don't care about and not about the one I do.
- Ghworg
The feature I would like to see is a way to mention FFers in comments by using the @ symbol or some other character but alas that will never happen :(
- BRҰANSAҰS
Thomasserio and Ghworg, I see what you both are saying, but really this mirrors the changes that Twitter made. On Twitter now, you have to be subscribed to BOTH people to see someone's @replies. I think the change that was made here on FriendFeed last week best reflects the way that Twitter works.

"It’s funny, yes, but it’s a fascinating glimpse at just how confused many people are about how web sites and browsers work. They don’t use bookmarks, they don’t type “facebook.com” in the location field. They just Google for whatever they’re looking for and assume the first result is correct. All this argument over whether the iPad is too simple — if anything it’s probably still too complex."
