"We just launched a new set of customizable FriendFeed widgets for spicing up your blog or web site. There are several ways to embed FriendFeed, and you can pick as many of them as you want." - Paul Buchheit
Woot! - Kemal Yaylali
Find your embed widgets here: http://friendfeed.com/embed - Bret Taylor
where's the HTML only one like Twitter?? Don't want your widget. - Mark Bean
YAY yayayay!!! - Edited to add: thx for linking to the CSS too, will make integration easier. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
it was necessary to develope these widgets. but as Mark said, there must be tidy versions. I want to use in my blog with my css. - Mücahit Yılmaz
Mark: the CSS is completely documented, so it should be easy to customize: http://friendfeed.com/embed/cs... - Bret Taylor
You can use your own css, the details are here http://friendfeed.com/embed/cs... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Doh, dup post with Bret. Bret wins, obviously ;) - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Thanks for more options but still JS only. :( The likelihood of any site I don't maintain allowing me to use JS is slim to non. Please add 1 flash widget? Pretty please? With sugar on top? - Erica Baker
FWIW, in http://pastebin.ca/1186734 I've put my FriendFeed badge setup. Stolen elsewhere, I forgot where, thanks to the original author. Hope it helps. - Cesar Cardoso
For those that are using the feed widget, note that you can change num=x in case the defaults of 1,5, or 10 aren't what you want. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
me again - it seems not to be picking up my default CSS values like the other widgets - it still insists on showing up as a white background black text. See http://pflix.com for example. - Mark Bean
It is live on my site now. http://www.louisgray.com/ - Louis Gray
http://benjamingolub.com to see the badge in action :) - Benjamin Golub
Mark, the white is div class = friendfeed widget and needs to have the background overridden, it's set to white (obviously). The classes in the nested divs below it should inherit the new BG color. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
See bookmarklet in action: http://kemal.bioeng-network.or... and badge in about page: http://kemal.bioeng-network.or... - Kemal Yaylali
Live on mine http://www.isthisstupid.com but currently unstyled. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Would be a nice option to have one without Javascript - richrecruiter
Paul, Bret and Team - you guys really rock my day! nice work!! keeeep it up!! woo hoo! - Susan Beebe
thanks Brett. I added to my blog - Photo Larry via twhirl
Where is the Flash and Picture version? - zgjie
Great, we really needed this! Thanks :) - Sébastien
Enjoying new FF badge http://scabr.com/ :) - Igor Poltavskiy
Nice work! Can we please have a "all services except blog" option on the Feed Widget to cut down on the echo over at my blog? - Richard Chen
Thank you, I like the clean Friendfeed look. It's, friendly! - Larry Kless via twhirl
Great work Paul and the team, just decorated my Blog with the widgets and it felt like Christmas! - Joe Dawson
nice work....will add soon to my blog - Arjun
Nice but as others have said, those of us not self-hosted (e.g. wordpress.com) can't use js widgets - Neil Saunders
I was thinking about replacing my blog with an api app... this will do the equivalent without any work on my part :D - Tai

"When the builders of the Maple Ridge Wind farm spent $320 million to put nearly 200 wind turbines in upstate New York, the idea was to get paid for producing electricity. But at times, regional electric lines have been so congested that Maple Ridge has been forced to shut down even with a brisk wind blowing." - Shannon Jiménez

Democrats Put Plug-in Hybrids on Main Stage | Hybrid Cars
Wednesday at 10:30 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"In speech after speech, the Democrats pointed to Senator Barack Obama’s plan to put 1 million plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on American roads by 2015—and to rebuild the American auto industry in the process—as the cornerstone of his plan for energy independence." - Karen Padham Taylor via Bookmarklet
Like to plug-in hybrids, dislike to direct Governmental manipulation of auto industry. Give me a tax credit if you like, but a president can't and shouldn't rebuild any industry. - David Knight
The subsidy going to a half-solution like plugin hybrids could fund a grad student's work for a few months. Research is the only option to get an alternative energy source that is cheaper than coal. - Ivan Kirigin
plug-in hybrids... designed to compromise here and there just for sake of oil industry NOT dying in very short time... - silpol
Short terms solutions DO have a place (esp. if you want to get elected), but I agree I'd love to see the gov't get more into the R&D business. It may not be entirely logical or cost effective but the push to Mars excites me for this reason (and you know, all the dorky sci-fi reasons) - David Knight
@David Knight - re: govt manipulation: agreed on principle, but what about in the case where an industry is stonewalling out of greed and plain stubbornness? Don't the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? I'm buying a car right now and I'm shocked that 11 years later after my previous purchase, cars are _still_ getting the same mileage (other than select few hybrids)! That is just disgusting. - Steve
Hybrid sales and production are rising and hopefully the costs will be coming down (maybe are already?) Demand and profits are hard for companies to ignore, and if they do then the shareholders will eventually take care of that. I have no problems with legislating MPG requirements, but manipulation coming from the Executive branch (as the quote seems to indicate) seems very wrong. - David Knight
If lots of people had been buying cars based on fuel efficiency, carmakers would be competing to get better fuel efficiency. If people instead buy cars based on how many cupholders and DVD players they have, carmakers will compete to get more cupholders and DVD players. - Amit Patel
morons. hybrids are not America's future. they are Japan's past - Noah David Simon
I see your point, no technology more popular in another country could ever be useful here and with the stagnant state of technology in general we'll certainly never see any useful advancements in our lifetimes. Thank you for showing me the light!!! I'll head over to the car lot and order my Flintstones car tomorrow. - David Knight
funny but America made a huge gamble by not investing in hybrids, but in full electric cars instead. We need to stop kicking ourselves for not making that compromise. We did the right thing. - Noah David Simon

He hates Canada? Seriously? Wow. What did Canada ever do to him...wait, I'm not sure I want to know... - Abby Martin
What is this country you refer to as "Canada?" You mean North Michigan? - peter
America Jr? - Casey Muller
Now, now boys. Play nice. I grew up in the States so for me those comments are just silly but for some citizens of the True North, them's fighting words. :) - Abby Martin
actually canada is the second biggest country by land area (just behind russia) - if this whole global warming thing ever takes off, they will be the big winners :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... - bob
well, "just" behind it by 7Msq km, or almost half, or by an area larger than all but 6 countries. - j1m
I'm so annoyed by this article, the title is effed and MA is pure hating on Canada :# - Mo Jawhari
haha j1m, perhaps i shouldve used 'only' - the point being that just because its mostly empty doesnt mean that canada is small :P - russia will be an even bigger winner with the global warming - bob

Thanks FriendFeed Team. You guys rock! - AJ Batac
Great features, digging the groups - Cains

It's the Gmail/Reader interface, but w/ the nav on the right side -- shocked I am, shocked! :-) - Paul Wilcox
Wow! Neat. - Atul Arora
It's very nice! All the superlatives have already been used :) - Rebkin
The the new list feature is heck cool... just created test. Wondering how we can share list now :)- - Peter Dawson
A link to cancel a comment with no hack! YAY!!!! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Mona, poster names are still links they're just styled differently so they don't look like the other links. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
beta.friendfeed is my new friend !! lots of new stuff to play with.. 8-10hrs lag with list data ..but a very very powerful feature. !! Way to GO TEAM FF !! - Peter Dawson
Love it. If this does not go mainstream, I don't know what will. - Vinay | विनय
Coming up next: gamma.friendfeed.com - Jim Norris

Thank you for the lists. - Paul Arterburn
Good job guys. I am disappointed you used Peter Astley, and not Rick Astley. Lost opportunity. - Louis Gray
looking great :) - sergiooo
My favorite is how the blog has like 2 comments, and Brett's link to it has almost 30 comments. - Dustin
Yummy* Friendfeeding just got better. - Jonathan (Vacation Boy)
This could be very good... but where 's the Rick Roll? - Bill Sodeman
OK: That's a long enough beta period. Let's do it live! - Chris Baskind
I want to start a pool -- (a) first blog to hit techmeme with an article on the re-design, (b) blog with most articles about the re-design (within 2 days starting now) - Wayne Schulz
LOVE IT! - Kyle Lacy
Why not position:fixed the right nav? Like this: http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed... - Michael Leggett
The share button no longer appears in my feed. This is counterintuitive. Otherwise, it's been a great experience so far. - Michael Nielsen
Where's the "me" tab? Everything else I LOVE! - Jennifer Van Grove
Michael: if you're viewing your feed from the main address, there is a 'sharing' box up at the top, and the options (comment, photo, link) appear once you begin typing. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
click on your name Jennifer, above right - Tibor Holoda
@Jennifer "My Feed" in the sidebar replaces the "me" tab. And like Tibor said, your name works too. - Dan Hsiao
you launch this right after takeoff from scoble to berlin - coinkydink? :) - Allen Stern
@Stupid Blogger: Thanks, I'd figured that out, was just pointing out what seems like a bug in the current UI. - Michael Nielsen
Looks nice on first glance, and it seems easier now to reach rooms. The friend lists should be a great way to organize my imaginary friends which are basically topic subscriptions. The "Add/ Remove friends" link is confusing at first because when you don't have any friends in the list yet, clicking it will result in nothing (making you wonder if it's broken). The message sharing post form is also confusing because you don't quite know what to enter into it; a link, or a message, or...? The fact that it says "Share a link, message, or photos" doesn't really help. Also wasn't sure how to remove a friend from the home feed after moving them to a special list feed. Took me some seconds to find the Delete List icon, because I was looking near the "Add/ remove friends" link navigation. Wasn't sure if I like you created so many default friend lists for me (personal, favorites, professional), though I guess it may be useful to get the point across. I think I'm liking how names aren't underlined, though not so sure a - Philipp Lenssen
Try Friend recommendations. - Chris Baskind
I love the new info bubble. Super better than the old one :) - AJ Batac
Looks like the logo now clicks to the Friends view, as you'd expect. Same as You + Friends. - Chris Baskind
can't seem to access the beta site: Service Unavailable We encountered an error on your last request. Our service is new, and we are just working out the kinks. We apologize for the inconvenience. - Thomas Hawk
Awesomeness, very useful, and solves the biggest problem of noise reduction! great! - Aditya Kothadiya
awesome! Working now. Anyone know if there is a pagerization greasemonkey script yet for the beta site? - Thomas Hawk
One word: wonderful. - Brandon Titus
thanks for the iteration.. it's a great step forward - Travis Parsons
like the new functions, but not the new layout, it just doesn't look like friendfeed and a bit feel like google groups (caused by the side bar maybe). miss the old layout... - Baron Mok
It is kind of cool! - Steve
great design!! - ricardo valle
on minor thing: on the main page, Post button and "Show best of: day - week" overlaps if you narrow the browser window. - Dennis Seah
Fantastic! - Mo Jawhari
We need a "remove from home feed" button under the friends settings. Or there must be an option that we can choose the list which shows on main page. For example, i want to see only "Professional" friends' feeds on the main page. - Selim Yoruk
Cool new FF! - Igor Poltavskiy
Time stamps for comments? :( - Marcos Messer
Threaded comments??? - Jigar Mehta
So many small details and improvements, make SO much difference. - Martin Añazco
At last, I will be able to add to my feed all the people who subscribe to me, and it won't impact on my main source of infobrainment. It looks nice, too. Looks like you guys have pulled another one out of the bag. +1 - Slippy Lane
Hopefully the Greasemonkey scripts I have installed will work with it. - Steven M. Cohen
looking good friendfeed crew! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Funny that they turned it on when I was flying to Europe. Looks awesome! - Robert Scoble
that is so frickin' sweet! - Jeremiah Palmer
I'm truly amazed at how good the UI is. The subtle touches like the use of blue links in just the right places or the contextual help like "How does hiding work?". Really great job. I think mioNews just became a little less useful to me, since FF now natively has friend groups. Oh well :P - Patrick Lightbody
please have an option to set font size! - h1ro
It has a great feature in allowing me to separate different people into different lists - that will be worth the whole interface change in itself. I hope that rooms also have embeddable feeds tho! - Justin Long
FF is in a frenzy. This is 16 hrs old and 3rd on my Best of the Week. Congratulations Bret and team. - Russellreno
@Marcos: you can hover your mouse over the comment bubble in front of a comment to get its timestamp. - Dan Hsiao
nice design, keep on! - Alexander Oelling

This is really cool... One thing though, the reason I gravitate towards coffee shops that have latte art is that there is a high correlation between latte-art and good coffee... Now with these machines, it might no longer be the case :( - Bindu Reddy
