Hot on the heels of the release of the FriendFeed API, developers are already rolling out applications for all you FriendFeed addicts!
FriendFeedStats
Benjamin Golub, developer of Google Reader Shared Items aggregator RSSmeme, has released the first FriendFeed API application: FriendFeedStats.
What Does It Do?
FriendFeed stats gives you a statistical overview of how any user uses FriendFeed. You can view stats by hours, days, months, and services. For example, I have a total of 294 entries on FriendFeed, which FriendFeedStats also displays for your viewing pleasure. Here are screenshots of the breakdown of my stats:
Hours and Services
Days
Months
FriendFeed WordPress Plugin
On that note, Glenn Slaven is working on an awesomesauce WordPress Plugin for FriendFeed. It displays a notice and link right above your comments that lets you know how many people on FriendFeed have "liked" the post and how many comments there are surrounding it! Not sure how long it takes to update, but at this point, I don’t think too many of us would complain about it. This is definitely the highlight of the day for me and I’m really looking forward to this release. Go Glenn!!
Thanks to Frederic of The Last Podcast for breaking the news to the community! You can check out his post for more technical details also: First FriendFeed App: FriendFeedStats
LOVED IT? SHARE IT!:
I'm setting the script to run every hour, I figure that should be fast enough for most people. If there's enough interest, I suppose it could be configurable from the admin section.
Cheers for the post Corvida, that's my first awesomesauce! Woohoo!
It would also be cool if I could copy and paste a line of Javascript that shows my Friend Feed on to my own site like my cocomment feed: http://faceyspacey.com/about . It would also be cool if commenting could happen in this external rendition of my Friend Feed. It would be even cooler if users could login and signup for a Friend Feed account right on my site and start commenting in me feed on my site right away without going back to Friend Feed itself!!! Combine all that with “write once, read everywhere” type features like hellotxt.com does for status updates, and you got yourself a super publishing machine! I sure hope that Friend Feed does include more two-way interactivity like this. Twitter is cool, but only a 20th of the puzzle.
