i’ve been meaning to post a list of things i’d like to see friendfeed do…well, fred beat me to it. i agree with him completely and had a number of his on my list…here are a few more that fred didn’t mention, most of which focus on data (think flickr…everyone wants stats!):

1) display all my items that have activity (not just what i’ve commented on) in reverse chron order and listed by most commented and liked

2) allow me to get a daily email update of the activity - even if i’ve logged in recently :)

3) items should be deduped and global stats for each item should be front and center…explore putting it in the UI next to each item (# times this item was shared, # comments, # likes, # clicks, etc.). if it’s too cluttered, at least make “stats” a tab…

4) let me see the most popular items (shares, comments, likes, clicks, movers and shakers (”interestingness”)) over different time periods across my items, my friends’ items, and all of ff…and, turn those into rss feeds :)

5) allow me to share/rebroadcast any item directly from within ff

6) search should be full-text - ff should index the landing pages of all shared links

7) please create a smaller logo :)

re fred’s list, i especially want the ability to display thumbnails of images from blog feeds ala flickr, explode blog posts, and post comments back to flickr ala twitter…

i’ve tried all sorts of things with feedburner and yahoo pipes to create a good feed of me, and i settled on using pipes to splice flickr into my wp source feed with feedburner on the front-end (this works better than the flickr splicer in feedburner as each photo can have flare). that seems to work for my readers (i.,e not too much content), but if you want my complete exhaust, use this feed as it’s a true feed of me…

for those that don’t know, rick created a cool site to help folks understand superdelegates…here’s some CNN coverage as well…

both sam and anil game me some tips - thanks! the way i tried initially yielded some not so great results (i.e., too many items/updates)…i’m going to play around with some once-a-day summarizers next week. but for now - i’ve switched the feed back to just the blog items…

sorry if i flooded your reader :)

and, go bears! i had to take a pic of this in case it doesn’t last…yes, as a cal fan, i’m used to disappointments :)

- why journalists should blog…and, scott karp’s new social network / news aggregation company targeted at journalists and consumers - very interesting…

- david berlind’s take on twitter…i agree…

- new local page from topix? looks like a real newspaper…and, nice article about charlie from google…sign me up…

- facebook monetization and metrics from seth goldstein, etc.

- CDN pricing…a nice detailed view into that world…

- cage-free egg shortage!

- newspapers are screwed…or no, they’re not? plus, media tribes from jeff jarvis…

- great facebook newsweek profile and new facebook ad network from videoegg

-

- social to do lists from dabble. they’ve “outsourced” social networking to facebook. but, how many apps focused on to do lists do we need?

- union square ventures on hiring a vp of enginerring / CTO. great great advice.

- wine marketing via blogs. nice web2 strategy from stormhoek.

- how to read a chapter a day via email or rss…

as an aside -> i need to find a way to start blogging regularly again…i might just resort to shorter posts like this one.
