Moopz - Aggregating and Augmenting FriendFeed Conversations

July 9, 2008 9:01 PM - Sign in to comment - Link

About Moopz — Moopz is a new service that brings together conversations about web articles, blog entries, and other web links. Moopz takes items and comments from FriendFeed and presents them in different ways:Moopz aggregates FriendFeed conversations that are discussing the same link. For example, three different people may share the same link to an interesting story. Seperate conversations may then arise on each of those items on FriendFeed. Moopz pulls those conversation (and "Likes") and presents them in a single combined thread.Moopz reduces duplicates. A web link may appear in multiple items on FriendFeed. One person may share the link by boomarking... [Tags: friendfeed, moopz]

Just launched. Read more at http://moopz.com/about - Moopz

Just trying moopz out. http://moopz.com/ - Kenichi Matsumoto

Moopz - Alessandro

very interesting app you got there. - Rob Diana

Moopz. Where is the search? - simonpure

Moopz - simonpure

I will try to get a search box up there sometime today ;) - Moopz

Interesting indeed. Are you reading the entire public feed or just specific users/rooms? - atzmon

One bug I've found: When you type a comment in to the Moopz interface and hit enter, it goes to the next line instead of activating the 'post' button. Confusing. - J. Phil

@atzmon, Moopz tracks specific users and only certain services (the users are the ones that the "Moopz" FF user has subscribed to. The list started with a small list of top conversation starters, but Moopz will subscribe to everyone who logs in via Moopz. To be honest, I am not sure how this approach will work out, but I am intrigued to find out. ;) - Moopz

@J. Phil, thanks for the bug report. I will look into that. I should also try to setup the handy expandy-textarea feature of FF where the comment box gets bigger if your comment is longer than one line... - Moopz

Moopz - Dieter Schwarz

Are you planning to add search features? And can you tell a little bit about the person or people behind moopz? - atzmon

@atzmon, I just added a search feature. I am the person behind Moopz. I do Internet marketing, SEO, Movable Type plugin development and more... - Mark Carey

okay, search box is up and running now... - Mark Carey

Nice site dude! keep rocking. - ani625

Moopz or Mark - I like Moopz. I have tried them all now. I would want a tab that had all the features of Moopz but only looked at my subscriptions. Great work! - Russellreno

BTW I tried search early this morning and it worked well as I recall. The tag cloud is a good addition, but I just proves once again that these sites are 1st tech sites. Instead of the My Friends tab you could do a Food, Music, Celebrity, Politics, Sports tab as an interim step. - Russellreno

Nice one...I always thought that friendfeed had its own inhouse fragmented conversations...can't wait till you make a personalised version, unless FF beat you to it...and conversations by topic make this the new technorati tags (well a machine tag version) - John Tropea

Moopz aggregates FriendFeed conversations that are discussing the same link. - Mitchell Tsai

Moopz - Mitchell Tsai

For example, three different people may share the same link to an interesting story. Seperate conversations may then arise on each of those items on FriendFeed. Moopz pulls those conversation (and "Likes") and presents them in a single combined thread. - Mitchell Tsai

Moopz augments each item with summaries. - Mitchell Tsai

Some items on FriendFeed are very short and don't provide much information about the link ("check out this link http:/nourl.to/dfg"). Moopz tries to augment items by displaying a short summary and image (if available) to provide more information. - Mitchell Tsai

Moopz provides a "Popular" list of items most active in the past 24 hours. - Mitchell Tsai

looks interesting - not personalized but seems to work well around themes of conversations - works off remote key & anything you do there appears back in ff proper - very nice :) - mike "glemak" dunn

I'm still playing with it. Like some features, but the interfaces feels different - like doing the NoiseRiver thing... One thread appeared to be abbreviated (or not quite updated) - the Scoble VC thread from yesterday. But these are just early thoughts. - Mitchell Tsai

agreed on abbreviated - thought it might just be a lag effect based of api velocity - i subscribed to the rss feed in nnw so i can see how it does on iphone - see if popular stuff that i might miss in the normal flow of ff (which i like) bubble up better - noiseriver hasn't been useful for me but i know a lot of folks like it... - mike "glemak" dunn

FriendFeed + Moopz = very, very handy. Thanks, Mr. Tsai - Dave Lovely

I like the kind-of-random hot stories of the day (like Pixdaus.com's rand). Maybe a different mix than FF's built-in best-of? Haven't looked much yet. I'll be waiting to hear what your experience is like when I wake up in the afternoon. :-) G'night mike. - Mitchell Tsai

You're welcome Dave. See this old July 18 thread from Mike Arrington about Moopz http://friendfeed.com/e/92c51934-0fc8-6eee-940f-a0428eeb505a "Moopz comes from developer Mark Carey, the creator of the FriendFeed MovableType plug-in, a bi-directional comment plug-in for FriendFeed and MovableType comments. Moopz is actually powered through MovableType, and largely by that plug-in." - Mitchell Tsai

ok one more cool thing (then i'll stop hijacking your thread mitchell) if you cut & paste a ff title and do a search for it in moopz it'll find the other offshoots - really useful for multiple rss shared items - worked perfectly as far as i can tell - mike "glemak" dunn

Don't worry about hijacking the thread. Most of my conversations are on my Del.icio.us and picture posts, since I don't blog much. FF's cool in that every single post (Blog/Twitter/YouTube/GoogleReader) can become it's own chat room. It's good to hear your tips! - Mitchell Tsai

If they make it personalised, ie your feed with combined articles, that would be excellent - Kol Tregaskes

Much cleaner interface than techmeme. - Tabrez Iqbal

Dear moopz team, my name is alex schulz and i am the designer of the project:" follow up" robotic luggage. I have an urgent request to: please unpublish the project. Here ist he link: http://moopz.com/2008/10/follow-up.html The project was posted on one internet platform and unbulished very quickly. Unfortunatelyothers picked it up from there. the project was an competition entry for a design competition held by a company and has no linking to any real product by the company. As I do not want to cause confusion about the facts I am kindly asking for your help to remove the project. Other bloggers have already been so kind and removed the project and I am hoping for yourquick help. Please unpublish the project. Do not help spreading the project further Thank you very much.. best regards, alex schulz - alex schulz
