applecameron(Learn about Frienditto)
I tried using Frienditto's built-in search tool to find the friendslocked post(s) I added from my test LJ this evening. Any convenient way of looking for all of your posts that have been archived at Frienditto would be very helpful to those interested in have Frienditto remove material that was archived without their permission.
One: A search by username of the poster would be a very good idea, whether it checks for author's username or greps against the URL that the archiver feeds Frienditto when they submit your post to be archived. It does not seem to be available.
Right now, Frienditto's search checks only the Title and Description (entered by the archivist, not you) of an archived post, but not the URL itself.
Two: Use LiveJournal's built-in search on the Frienditto livejournal to search for your LJ username, to see if it's listed in any of the "this post has been archived on Frienditto" notices. That search, however, is actually an outside service provided by feedster.com, and it searches the RSS feed of your journal, if there is one, not your journal itself.
ETA: Interesting. Four hours ago or less, when I first was browsing the FAQ and submit page and whatnot, there was a link to create a Frienditto account (for $1 or something). That was for the private archive UI I mentioned in my initial post. I can't find it now.
ETA later: Edited in section Two to note that feedster searches RSS feeds.
