i'm not sure - on the 'active rooms' - the 3rd most active room is called "Science21" - yet the last bit of activity in there was on Monday! What's going on there FFholic? :) - Zee.
Your algorithms are pretty good, but they are only serving to fuel my addiction...please make it stop! - Alex Scoble CISSP
where are you seeing the stats on the most active rooms? - Ruth Ferguson
FFholic....Jennifer Leggio doesn't like it when you re-tweet her posts.... - Sean McGee
Zee, looks like it's probably because there are some conversations on there with over 100 comments each. The algorithm blends number of users, and numbers of likes and comments as well as recency (that's not a word is it?) of posts. - Laura Norvig
Actually, maybe they don't even take into account how recent the posts are. Hard to tell. - Laura Norvig
I'd like to know what goes into determining the Most Discussed post. - Monique
Actually we look at the character count total of each post and find posts with more wordly comments. Only comments sent by someone other than the original poster are taken into account. - Baris Seker
Why are rooms missing from the most active room list? US Politics comes up as #6 in a search, but doesn't appear in the main list. - Steve Isaacs
You're probably looking at the English rooms list. That room doesn't have a language assigned to it yet and that's why it is only in the All languages room list http://www.ffholic.com/Rooms.a... and not in English rooms. I admit that it is an issue though and we will get on that. - Baris Seker
the algorithm doesn't seem that much good.I guess date and kind of activity have got no points in ranking,furthuremore other services entries should not be considered as FF activity.Is FFholic being updated ? - Enigma

“Poll: On FFHolic web pages and RSS feeds, would you rather have a link to the FriendFeed page or to the original post (ex: original blog post)?”
FF item gives both a link to the original and additional features (like, comment, reshare). Why settle for less and link to the original? - ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod
And: I wish the RSS feeds for FFHolic would include the full comments on items, like Friendfeed's Best of Day RSS feed. - Sean McBride
“There are two screenshots below. One of them is when we are signed in, the other one is when we aren't. Some entries do not show up when we are not signed in which means only we see what we share... We are confused... Is this a bug or what? Any ideas?”
It's a good thing that you credited the right Scoble. Thanks for that. :) Of course this brings up the questions, how will you figure out what discussions are high quality? - Alex Scoble CISSP
I don't see you guys responding. It's been over 10mins...LOL. What makes a high-quality discussion? - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
We believe high quality discussions doesn't have 1 word comments like "Wow", "LOL", "HaHa" and etc. Do you think it is true and do you have any suggestions to improve it? And actually do you find the current most discussed entries list useful and high quality? - FFholic.com
Request: RSS feeds for Most Discussed English Entries on FriendFeed and Most Liked English Entries on FriendFeed. - Sean McBride
The meaning of "Most Discussed" vs. "Most Commented" is hard to distinguish. I don't think "Most Discussed" is the right label. - Laura Norvig
FFholic: this entry (one of mine) occupied the number 1 slot on FFholic's Most Discussed English Entries earlier this evening: http://tinyurl.com/42dvdq Later in the evening it disappeared from the list. What happened? - Sean McBride
Most discussed entries have more wordy comments than average. We have a simple algorithm but I think it is pretty successful at picking out the hottest discussions. - Baris Seker
Great -- found the icon for the RSS feeds. This is a valuable service you folks have put together. You are doing much of the data mining I requested from Friendfeed a few months ago. - Sean McBride
Baris: how do you define "more wordy"? Total number of words in the discussion? Total length of the words in the discussion as measured by characters? Vocabulary level of words in the discussion? (I have a special interest in automated methods for measuring the cognitive complexity of texts.) Thanks. Again, love your work here. - Sean McBride
Do you guys track "most blocked"? Might be doing us all a service. - "Oldengrey" Tannenbaum
Jay -- an even more interesting metric to data mine -- social networks which engage in the most blocking. - Sean McBride
Baris -- regarding the RSS feed for Most Discussed English Entries: is there any chance you could include in the feed the text of the initial entries, with clickable links to the Friendfeed discussions? Currently the feed only provides clickable access to the links pointed to by the entries. - Sean McBride
Sean: Internally we were debating whether we should give the original link or the friendfeed link on the entries. I'll post a discussion and see what people think. Thanks - Baris Seker
Baris -- I for one would like to be able to see both the original and Friendfeed links for entries, as well as all the comments (as in the feed for Friendfeed Best of Day). What do you think? - Sean McBride
Baris: Might this be possible with FFholic? Rank Friendfeed users by number of links PLUS likes PLUS discussions PLUS subscriptions shared with me. (Shared discussions: users who have made comments under the same entries I have made comments.) - Sean McBride
FFholic: Make this list for everyone in friendfeed!! : )) For our all subscriptions! - Erhan Erdogan
Inherent problem with lists. There will always be solid people (and brilliant new people) left off. It's a decent reference for techie followers As for me, I'm following Alex :) - Charlie Anzman
Cool data analysis - notice the high number of subscriptions AND subscribers...very neat! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Charlie, I totally agree with you, some people will always be left off the list. Given the size of the list, there will be plenty of people missed. Robert also had a caveat to his list, he uses FriendFeed as an aggregator. So there will be people not "active" on FriendFeed, but active on Twitter or some other feed. - Rob Diana
FFHolic, is there any chance of getting charts like these for everyone? That would be very cool. - Rob Diana
Any marketers using FF or FB data on their own sites for demographic segmentation? Just wondering if we should ask, are you on FF? or FB? etc. - Alan Edgett
This also shows Robert is not only following "big name" bloggers. He's following the people he likes, regardless of how popular they are. - Michael Krigsman
I'd like to know what "Techie" means. It could be subjective. Because most of the people I know ARE techie but they're not on that list. - AJ Batac
New FFholic Toolbar released. It has some cool new features. Embeded "Share on FriendFeed" bookmarklet and FriendFeed timer ;) Now you can check how much time you spend on FriendFeed... We also have direct search on FFholic, quick links and etc... - FFholic.com
via Bookmarklet
No offense, but I don't need this to tell me how much I'm on Friendfeed. I know I'm on it most of the day. - Mathew Ballard
Too bad it's only for Firefox. I have been using mostly Safari recently (moved from Firefox since it was slow compared to Safari). - Daniel Schildt
