how do you delete a friendfeed group?

Have the same question - chiming in for some enlightenment on this
- Morten Blaabjerg
I am also wanting an answer for this question.
- extremesh
If you are the admin, remove everyone else, then unsubscribe yourself. Once there are no subscribers, the group will disappear (although you can still reach it if you keep the direct URL of the group).
- Will King
If everyone was deleted, the URL for that room would still be taken, correct? No way to make the URL available as well?
- Rob Williams
from email
If you are the Admin of that group, you can easily change the name of the group and make the URL available that way. But a pure delete would of course be more elegant.

Delete group would still be a nice feature to implement :)

I thought my Mac would handle this job but it didn't deliver like I wanted. An OTA HD episode of Numb3rs, captured with the Terk antenna, dropped a 5.78 GB .eyetv file on my hard drive. Conversion for the iPhone took 67 minutes and yielded a 632 MB H.264 AAC file. The CPU was, as you can see, pegged. Safari labored while the conversion took place.

Am I to believe that EyeTV hardware, i.e., EyeTV 250 Plus or the Turbo.264 HD Video Encoder can outpace my Mac? Maybe I'm just impatient and should run these conversions in isolation when I don't need to use my computer for any other tasks.
- Christopher Harley
I have Hazel send video's that need encoding to my Mac Mini upstairs. When the Mac Mini has finished its encoding, Hazel then sends the encoded video back to my MacBook and is inserted automatically into iTunes.
- Paul Grav
I've considered tasking my other Mac but it's an 800 MHz PPC G4. I'm certain that conversion times would be abysmal. But, then again, I'd have my primary machine free for the duration. I remember Merlin Mann talking about Hazel http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel... on an episode of MacBreak Weekly. I need to grab it.
- Christopher Harley
And therein lies the rub. Should I buy another piece of hardware to hang off this machine or wait and see what encoding performance looks like under Snow Leopard's OpenCL? Am I right in assuming that some of this load will be shared by the GPU during conversion?
- Christopher Harley
Here's more on OpenCL from Apple: http://www.apple.com/macosx... "...a structure that will be familiar to programmers, who can simply use Xcode developer tools to adapt their programs to work with OpenCL. They don’t have to completely rewrite applications to use OpenCL. They need only rewrite the most performance-intensive parts of their application in OpenCL C."

Ask Friendfeed: How do I refer to another friendfeed user, like the @username in Twitter? I want to make a comment on one of my entries and reference another user so people can connect to her. How do I do that?
The only way I know is to drop the URL of the person's comment into the comment box.To refer to a specific comment, copy the URL from the timestamp of the comment. Under each headline, there's a timestamp (something like "20 hours ago" or "July 16." Click that to go to a page that contains just that comment (and its conversation), and copy the URL to the comment. For instance, the URL...

How do I post to feeds/groups (the things with the # and * signs?) from my FF or IM? Or do I have to go to the groups in my browser and post from there? I mean, the default sharing/posting is to my feed, but there are tabs to add things... and stuff... and whatchamacallits lol ;-)

Jim, not sure I follow. Do you want to post to a group? If so, you just did (i.e. this post has been posted to the FF-Beginners group). :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Is there a special syntax like the @ symbol for posting to a group from my own feed, or when I share something from another feed? I would post a screen capture, but there appears to be no option to do that here. So I did it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- ThatJimGuy
There are a couple ways to post to rooms (the term for groups in FF). In each post there are some menu items (such as "Comment" and "Like"), one of which is "Share." If you click the Share link, the top line in the pop-up box is labeled "To:" and defaults to "My Feed." You can send that same post to other feeds, or rooms, by typing part of the name of the room. For instance, I post...

How do I increase the number of feed I see on the friendfeed homepage? I don't want to keep clicking the older post links every minute.
If I understand correctly, you want to see more posts on the home page? I don't know of a way to change the number of posts showing, but here's a trick: copy the RSS feed link at the bottom of the page and use it in a news feed reader. That way you can go through all the posts at your leisure without worrying about when something will scroll off the bottom.
- Will King
I want to like Friendfeed but it always seems too noisy. Seems it aggregates too much and too much is going on. Perhaps I'm using it wrong?
A couple keys to controlling the noise. First, break your home feed up into lists. Next, learn about FF saved searches. If you're only interested in certain topics, saved searches can get the stream more focused on what interests you. You might want to visit the group http://friendfeed.com/ffss .

How do I get friendfeed to auto post for instance my shared items from Google reader to twitter? Bare with me I am a friendfeed noob.
Click "settings" on the upper right of any FF page under your name. On the pop-up, click the link "Twitter publishing preferences." On the Advanced Twitter Settings page, below the headline "Post Entries From" make sure Google Reader is selected. Be sure you've added Google Reader as one of your services, as well.
