"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

Would be a nice option to have one without Javascript - richrecruiter

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

@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

They are different women! Blame Paul! : ) - Erhan Erdogan

impressive - accesine

Lindsay: whenever sketching generic faces, the face starts as an inverted triangle and the eyes appear a third of the way down from the top of the forehead; lips and nose appear below and above (respectively) a line 1/3 up from the chin. Looks like these pictures are rearranged to meet that particular school of drawing. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

The artist proportions were laid out by the Greeks as the perfect human, that's not being used here. This beautification engine, I think, builds on top of a previous study where some students tried to mathematically identify attractiveness. They had participants rate the attractiveness of head shots from yearbooks. What they found was there was a high correlation b/w the geometrically "average" face and high attraction. That "average" is based on the proportions of the di - xero

stances between the individual elements of the face and their relative sizes. IIRC the software adjusts elements so they statistically/geometrically complement each other. It's not actually working toward a golden set of proportions, but a set of proportions appropriate for the individual as defined by the masses.
