The "Re-share" function has been replaced with a more powerful "Share" dialog.

Also, based on feedback, all the per-entry links are visible by default (nothing appears on hover).
- Bret Taylor
1UP Bret. Wasn't feeling the hover.
- Derrick
By "per-entry links" do you mean shortened URLs?
- Mitch
Mitch: I mean the "Hide - Reshare" links that are attached to each entry.
- Bret Taylor
I just noticed that!
- Anne Bouey
Nice!
- Ken Sheppardson
Yay! I just noticed this before I see this entry. Makes me happy.
- Anika
Uh, that's not going to be the standard bookmarklet from now? Please say no.
- Anika
Very cool... and thanks for including the "Share" URLs, particularly the short URL. Is the little "x" in the upper right to dismiss the window missing intentionally?
- Ken Sheppardson
Nice! I just would like ESC as a shortcut to leave it please (this is my reflex when trying to escape this kind of pop up)
- stanjourdan
Stanislas, that pop up sucks balls on my netbook screen since I can only see up to 'Post' but clicking off of it helped. Odd there's no 'cancel' button.
- Anika
wow nice.
- Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど
now how about that bookmarklet
- Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude... I can embed the chat on my site... WIN
- Johnny
where is the "cancel" hiding in the share popup ?
- Kishore Balakrishnan
Bret, looks like there's a bug or something: http://beta.friendfeed.com/directe...
- directeur
can the admins add the friendfeed-beta to the "to" list ?
- Kishore Balakrishnan
Thanks - great response to the feedback!! I'm very happy to see hide back.
- Robin Barooah
A close button has been added - sorry for the oversight.
- Bret Taylor
Why are those images showing up on every FF post?
- Andrew Leahey
Andrew, this happened to me (added image) and I deleted the post and recreated it.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Happened to me as well. Very strange.
- Andrew Leahey
you could've clicked on the gray area to close it too.
- Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど
I think the fact that it hasn't be noticed instantly shows how few people actually post text directly through FF.
- Andrew Leahey
Andrew: this is a spurious error, and we are pushing a fix now.
- Bret Taylor
Bret: What do you mean by spurious error? Was it a user error on my part? Not trying to bust you, just not sure what you mean.
- Andrew Leahey
Meaning it was not happening with all posts - it was an issue with one of our backends and caching. Let me know if you see the problem again.
- Bret Taylor
Gotcha, will do. Thanks for the quick fix.
- Andrew Leahey
This is awesome, thanks!
- Robert Scoble
yay!
- Shey
Can FF get any better? ....just wait 1/2 a day ;-)
- Mark Traphagen
cool; is the comment box gone?
- Anthony Citrano
Wow! This is quite amazing.
- Brandon Titus
Beta site only?
- NaHi
:) A lot can happen in a day: http://beta.friendfeed.com/micahwi...
- Micah
It's not working for me :(
- Richard Lawler
Impressive ... what is next?? :)
- Amani
cool new function! Just added a blog post with this dialogue - http://www.jeroendemiranda.com/friendf...
- Jeroen De Miranda
That is really great and useful. I liked Short URLs.
- Alp
I'm getting some bad results with short urls not pointing to the long URL it's supposed to, ending up in non-beta friendfeed and some other weirdness.
- Boris Gordon
Cool! Thanks =)
- Anton
Embed - no way!!!!
- Roberto Bonini
I suppose short URL <http://ff.im/2lx3d> will eventually point to the beta site, but how about it should do that RIGHT NOW? ;-))
- ianf ⌘
Bret, this is far better, thank you. I love that we can see the short URL (this could really to with being on the share box and the bookmarklet as well as the embed code. The quick links are very useful too. But it's still just a link to the post not actually opening the post up to new feeds (i.e. with sync'ed comments and likes). Would this be possible please?
- Kol Tregaskes
What I'd like to see is the possibility to share the comments when you reshare it to another feed.
- Brome
In fact you could combine this new share dialog box with edit post options and we could edit/add/remove the images, the link(s), the title and the feeds the post (the ability to remove from existing feeds and add to new feeds).
- Kol Tregaskes
Brome, yep basically open the post to new feeds (or edit existing ones).
- Kol Tregaskes
Really impressed and agree with Kol that this should be the standard dialog across all Shares
- Joe Dawson
is embed realtime? If so it could replace the comment section on blogs easily.
- Rahul Das
Rahul, I'm typing this comment in here: http://breakingnewsviafriendfe... to prove that yes the embed code is real-time. Now that is *excellent*!!! Shame it's in a window though.
- Kol Tregaskes
this is awesome. Now someone needs to come up with some ready to paste code for blogs and we would have an awesome commenting platform.
- Rahul Das
Much better distinction from "Reshare"(RT) which conceptually was more of a like.
- Michiel Sikkes
Waldemar, agree we really need the ESC as exit.
- Kol Tregaskes
Is it possible to unframe the embed code so it's a little tidier than this: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/blog...? For instances I have to set a height when I don't really want a limit. Either way, this is superb! And thanks to Wallace (http://beta.friendfeed.com/wallace... pointing this out to me! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Good point Kol. There is a problem when there are so many comments, tho.
- Roberto Bonini
Roberto, yep but not sure this is possible. It would be nice though. :-) The new way to blog? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Maybe. But I was thinking of doing that watchlist of mine using the embeds. What do you think?
- Roberto Bonini
And did you know this embed updates instantly????
- Roberto Bonini
Loving the new Share, thanks Bret. Would be cool if the Bookmarklet will have these options too.
- Majento
Roberto, yep it's real-time. Yeah that watchlist would work, just create a private post on your site and add the embed code. A little fiddly though.
- Kol Tregaskes
Bret, thanks. What about sharing via Gmail or email in general?
- Damond Nollan
Now I want the 'edit' form upgraded with the same 'To:' field, so I can add crossposts after-the-fact.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Everyone noticed the retweet icons down the bottom, didn't they?
- Johnny
I have a bit of a problem, at my resolution of 1366x768, if there's a photo in the re-share I can't see the "quick links" section at the bottom, and there's no way of scrolling this screen.
- Louis Simoneau
Great stuff but now I need this same functionality in the bookmarklet!
- AJ Kohn
sweet!
- .LAG liked that
Johnny, yep. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
ESC shortcut (+1 Waldemar) would be great!
- Jeroen De Miranda
Wud be great & really easy if Mail Invitations link had option for importing & selecting email contacts...rather than typing/copy-paste. Any plans for this?
- Roshan Ramachandran
perfect :)
- Zafarali
I'm having the same problem Louis. Would be great if we could scroll the share window.
- Sharon McPherson
cool
- Adrian
I like it! Would be nice to update the bookmarklet too. And please keep the original comments added to a post.
- TobiasVerhoog.com
Edit the bookmarklet to add "beta" to the address :)
- Roberto Bonini
how should we choose the groups to share the item in?
- Mahsa
Masha, click the Share link, when the box pops up, click the X to remove "My Feed" if that is not where you want to put the item. Enter the first letter of the group you want to send the item to and you'll see all the groups that you belong to that begin with that letter. Find the group you want and click on it.
- Sharon McPherson
You mean "FF should read our minds, one letter is one letter too many?"
- ianf ⌘
The new share function is pretty awesome.
- Andrew Trinh
Sharon, tnx. so we should memorize all groups' names! :-/
- Mahsa
I really like the new Share feature. I wish the "Like" feature had more control on how Likes get sent to Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
I love this! Just discovered it today.
- Brian Bufalo
this is frustrating. More specifically...the retweeting is frustrating. We need to be able to retweet without a (via http://ff.im/2lx3d) at the end and the urls need to be shortened if we're resharing a link from friendfeed. This is driving me bonkers.
- Zee.
Roberto, thanks for the tip!
- Michael R. Bernstein
and a RT is nothing without mentioning the name of the person we shared from
- Zee.
Zee: thanks for the feedback. To clarify, is the fact we prepopulate the textbox with (via ...) what is bothering you? You can delete that text. Or am I misunderstanding? Good point about making the username of the person who shared it more prominent.
- Bret Taylor
I was just clicking on the Share feature, thought it was new.. And it is! +1 to email, that's what I was looking for, sharing the FF entry via email for non-FF users! Promote awareness! :)
- Chris Chua
how do I get this new/improved version?
- Benin Brown
Benin: it is available at http://beta.friendfeed.com/
- Bret Taylor
great! .. more power to you .. :]
- pb:
I don't get any email options @beta.ff – Safari 3.2.1 on OSX 10.5.6. While I'm at it however, please consider making this Share dialog a little more compact. I read FF at 24p font size (tired eyes), and this dialog doesn't fit on my 13.3" (800px vertical) laptop's screen.
- ianf ⌘
This just makes friendfeed even more powerful. Love it.
