FriendFeed News

FriendFeed is now available in Persian! Thanks again to all of our Persian users — it has been extremely exciting for us to see FriendFeed so widely used around the world. You can set your language preference here: http://friendfeed.com/... - Bret Taylor

:)) ممنونم استاد - ستاره کریمی

I'm really sorry about this. I know how annoying unwanted email is :( - Paul Buchheit

freaked me out this AM when i saw my inbox *stuffed* w/ FF items from my search groups. glad you guys posted this notice - i found it in my first search on the issue. - MikeAmundsen

Here at the office, we use it to forward all of our mercurial changelog emails, server push notifications, etc to a private group. That way, we all see what's going on in real-time (thanks to the notifier: http://friendfeed.com/setting...), and can easily discuss them from the FriendFeed interface. To add a secret email address, click on "Import a service" in the "settings" dialog of any group. For regular posting, you should continue to use the normal email interface though ([email protected] or [email protected], see http://friendfeed.com/share... for details). Thanks to Tudor for writing and launching this! - Paul Buchheit

You guys have been busy - Johnny

Sweet! - TheHenry

Did you miss us? - Paul Buchheit

To RT, click http://twitter.com/home... It uses OAuth, so no password is required, and it automatically finds your Twitter friends on FriendFeed! It also imports your profile and picture. Big thanks to http://friendfeed.com/bgolub for making all this happen! (also, existing users can go to http://friendfeed.com/friends... to find Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail friends) - Paul Buchheit

Hi...Iam new member of dis site...I like it...! - Nima Tamang

I apologize for any lost or unwanted tweets. Please let me know if you spot any other problems. - Paul Buchheit

nice - Zaki WOlf

Could this also have delayed / stopped verification emails from being sent? Should I re-send them? - Tony Ruscoe

Tony: yes, our system has an email backlog now. It should catch up soon. Sorry for the issues! - Bret Taylor

You can post to a room by emailing <groupname>@friendfeed.com and direct message by emailing <username>@friendfeed.com - Bret Taylor

So should we replace the old <username>[email protected] with [email protected] ? - scott willeke

We launched! - Bret Taylor

design (layout, interaction) had been mostly better in old variant, but AJAX engine you use in new variant just rocks (old ajax code was dead meat slow crap for desktops on steroids) - piikummitus

Also, based on feedback, all the per-entry links are visible by default (nothing appears on hover). - Bret Taylor

This just makes friendfeed even more powerful. Love it. - Angus Neil

We have separated Groups (the new name for "Rooms") into its own section, and we have renamed "filters" to "Saved searches" to make things simpler/clearer. Saved searches have simper URLs that can be shared, and friend list operations have all been added/cleaned up. - Bret Taylor

Dont like it. No longer can get Twit Conversations to show up in Groups.. only in Home even if I add it to Groups! - Greg

This is the first of a handful of direct message and email enhancements we have lined up - feedback is appreciated! - Bret Taylor

New to Friendfeed but this looks like a great feature! Thanks - Medical Alarm Concepts

23:30 PDT, actually, which is 06:30 UTC. - Tudor Bosman

Ah...so that was what was going on when I couldn't access :P - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

It it the reason that Mail2FF doesnt work now? (it used to work a few days ago) I get text garbage instead of the pics... T_T UPD: Oops. It works again. - Don Miguel

While we're on the subject of languages: could you please add some Right-to-Left (RTL) support for Arabic/Hebrew? No need to mirror or translate the Friendfeed UI, just let us control the directionality of specific entries or entire feeds. Thanks. - Yuval Atzmon

That's 11pm PST today, in case you were wondering :) - Sanjeev Singh

So no more than 33% downtime in the next half hour, then? - Chris Charabaruk

yep. - Sanjeev Singh

Well, I didn't notice anything. Everything went well for you guys? - Stefan Moluf

Done. Please let us know if anything isn't working for you, thanks. - Sanjeev Singh

Sanjeev - Does it have to be FriendFeed-specific? - Mitch

Good one, Mitch! Sanjeev, my earnings to spending ratio doesn't seem to be working for me - could you work on that? kthxbai. - Laura Norvig

:) - Private Sanjeev

...and we're back in business. - iTad

ISP's DNS i guess. Beta visible :-D - Majento

cool，不过抄袭中国某个东西很严重，哈哈 - chenhui tan

I like the look and feel but miss the popular groups etc... there is no real way to track where the group "action" is that I have found and would hate to see a step back in the group area. Will there be something similar? Is there already and I can't find it? - Allison

Thanks for heads up, Bret. - Micah

The crawl should now be completely caught up, please let us know if you see any problems. - Casey Muller

In the meantime, you can always manually refresh your external services at http://friendfeed.com/setting.... Sorry again for the trouble. - Bret Taylor

The issue has been fixed, but it will take a few hours to catch up from the position it was in. I will post here when it is fully caught up from the delays earlier this morning. - Bret Taylor

cool idea guys :) Pretty logo too~ as usual ! - Susan Beebe

A logo for every day! - Jonathan Wright

Try it here: http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Casey Muller

IDEA: This notifier would be the perfect vehicle to work out showing direct responses to posts I've made. Showing responses to posts that I've commented on would also be a big help - as the current process of going to my http://friendfeed.com/nathanc... page and combing through the posts to see what's been updated is not ideal. So some thoughts for you - to have that functionality as toggles in addition to selecting from one's Lists. Thanks! - Nathan Chase

wonders how search work on this key-value system - NaHi

Bret: You suppose you could help us out over here? http://friendfeed.com/e... - Ken Sheppardson

Thanks for posting the status on this here. Wondered what was happening. - Andrew Shuttleworth

Good News for all my friends in China, Thanks to friendfeed ! - geek2live

Now I can live without ssh proxy, thank you, FF. - yinhm
