FriendFeed News

start winding things down. Beginning today, we will no longer accept new signups. You will be able to view your posts, messages, and photos until April 9th. On April 9th, we'll be shutting down FriendFeed and it will no longer be available. We want to thank you all for being such a terrific and enthusiastic community. We're proud of what we built so many years ago, and we recognize that it would have never been possible without your support. - The FriendFeed team - Benjamin Golub

See http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... for more information - it seems to also have impacted Twitter's Facebook app. Again, we are not sure if it is a problem on our end or not, but we are investigating now. - Bret Taylor

So, is it fixed?Every tweet, every everything is showing up as individual news feed posts for all my friends, this is too much and I'm likely to piss them all off. Options ... 1.Stop tweeting etc. 2.Ditch the FF Facebook application. Hmmm, it's a no brainer. Anyone got any updates on this? - Michael M Bailey

Welcome, Ben! - Kevin Fox

Contact me at([email protected]) so that i can get back to you with more details about me with my photos. Please do not write on the site write me here in my email address ([email protected]) - Selina Love

"As a devoted FriendFeed user, I have tried to convince all of my friends and family to join the site, but a handful of them never quite got their accounts set up properly. With our new Recommend friends feature, I can fix their FriendFeed experience by recommending subscriptions to them." Try it out at http://friendfeed.com/friends... - Bret Taylor

As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user? - Kol Tregaskes

"Today we are launching version 2 of the FriendFeed API for beta testing. We focused on making the API simpler to use, and we added number of compelling new features." Documentation: http://friendfeed.com/api... - Bret Taylor

This is indeed very cool, anybody started on a c# version? - Jesper Lind

To enable it for your FeedBurner feed: go to Feedburner, click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "PingShot" and enable the PingShot service. That will enable PubSubHubbub and send your feed to a number of ping services. - Bret Taylor

Great! - Brett Slatkin

Choose your theme at http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Bret Taylor

@Rick: Thanks. I get the idea. The twitter concept would be nice though. Like personalized version of the FF page. Now, if there were archive links now..... - Sven

"To share files on friendfeed.com, simply click the "Files" link underneath the post box and select which files you want to include. You can also share files by including them as attachments on emails sent to [email protected]." - Bret Taylor

Tried to share an .hta file with Micah yesterday....couldn't attach it. Tried to zip it and still couldn't attach it. Ended up tossing it in my dropbox and posting the link. :-( - April Russo (FForever!)

we are back - K.D.

siktirtmeyin datacenter'ınızı. FF gitti diye ödümüz koptu aq. - öküz

This means that, if you use a service FeedBurner, your subscriber totals will include FriendFeed subscribers in addition to subscriber counts from Google Reader, Bloglines, etc. For a lot of people like me, this will be a pretty significant boost in your overall subscriber numbers. - Bret Taylor

So that's what happened.... - Spot us

Thank you very much, Casey! :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Hey I wanna open a new account. - ♕Dr. Eynollah ♕

"Some third party software developers have made good use of the FriendFeed API to create some great FriendFeed iPhone applications. Stay connected to FriendFeed even when you're away from your computer with one of these iPhone apps (at our office, BuddyFeed and Amigo have been really popular)" - Paul Buchheit

I second the call for an Android app. - Alex

# We fixed some bugs with uploading photos # When choosing choosing which services to display on your profile, we added scrolling to prevent the page from being cut off for users with a lot of services # If you have your account open in multiple places and you change your password, the other signed in sessions will get signed out # Made improvements to the experience for picking usernames when creating an account or feed # If you have blocked a user, we won't show you any group invites they send you # As always, after you hide an entry, you can click on "hide other items like this one" for additional hiding options. - Paul Buchheit
