Apologies if this has already been covered to death, but I keep finding random folks in my feed that I didn't actively subscribe to (although I'm sure they're lovely). Anyone else? A beta problem perhaps?

You mean they show up with <Name> friend of <Name of someone you are subscribed to>?
- Alex Scoble
Same here. I was automagically put in the Beta Feedback room and a couple others. I just figured it was Beta related. I've had FoaF turned off foreva-eva
- Paul Reynolds
These folks are friends of people you have subscribed to. The new beta doesn't state that. When somebody you've subscribed to "likes" or comments to a thread, then it will show up in your feed.
- Dawn
You can change this so it doesn't happen in the settings.
- Dawn
You can turn it off in your settings if you don't like it.
- Andrew
The "friend of" entries always say "Paul commented on this" or "Paul liked this". If you're seeing other entries, please post a screenshot so that we can debug. Paul Reynolds, you should not be in Beta-Feedback unless you joined that room -- see http://friendfeed.com/setting... to check your subscription history.
- Paul Buchheit
Where do you turn it off in your settings for the home deed, Andrew?
- Alex Scoble
You will, however, see posts sent to Beta feedback if someone posted it to their feed and the room at the same time and you're subscribed to their feed.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Alex - I lied. It isn't in the settings. You have to hide a FoF message and then click the "hide other posts like this" button to see the option for turning off FoF stuff.
- Andrew
Thanks, Andrew.
- Alex Scoble
Tina: I bet that's what I'm seeing. I forgot you could cross post in the new Beta.
- Paul Reynolds
You can turn it off, as indicated above - although this is often a great source of new information (and friends).
- jcunwired
Actually no, this isn't a "Robert Scoble commented on this" FoaF type of thing. Just random folks. If I click over to their profile, FF indicates I've already subscribed to them, at which point I can unsub. I've been cleaning them up, but will post screenshot if/when it happens again.
- Sarah Lane
I've noticed a couple random posts on the "My Discussions" page like that. They only caught my eye because they're not in English, don't have the FoaF notation, and I haven't Liked them. I've just been writing it off as beta-ness.
- Ken Sheppardson
Somehow I got 1000 new subscriptions myself. It's kind of jammed up my feed. This happened to me once before when I enabled the Friendfeed app on Facebook. At the time, Scoble said it had happened to him. I turned the Facebook app back on when beta emerged on Monday and got a bunch of new subs. I immediately removed it from Facebook and so far no more new subs. Might be a coincidence but... I'd sure like a way to manage subscriptions. Maybe an "erase all and start over button."
- Leo Laporte
That's happened to me more than once, too, and I can't figure out what's causing it.
- Trish R
I think that you'll see not just the people you subscribe to, but any entry that they "like" or comment on. I don't like it either.
- Ghodmode
from twhirl
One way to help me manage the bloat: add a "Delete" item to the drop down on the Friends page in standard view. Then I could select all and delete en masse. Paul Buchheit or Bret Taylor, are you listening? (And is there a bug in your Facebook app?)
- Leo Laporte
Ghodmode, that's not what is happening to me. I am actually subscribed to people I did not subscribe to, not just someone showing up as FOAF by someone I'm subscribed to liking or commenting.
- Trish R
I just checked - I thought it might be the "add friends from twitter" tool but all of my new "friends" are from Facebook, not Twitter. For me, anyway, it's a "feature" of the Friendfeed Facebook application. As soon as I uninstalled it the auto-subs stopped.
- Leo Laporte
Leo: We have an easy way to manage recently made subscription modifications: http://friendfeed.com/setting.... There's no bug with the FriendFeed Facebook application; it's supposed to auto subscribe you to your friends (which for most people is a small number, not 1000s) http://friendfeed.com/about...
- Benjamin Golub
And here I thought Sarah Lane was actually interested in what I had to say *sob*
- Mike Nayyar
I think it has to do when someone you're subscribed to comments to someone you don't know. You don't get subscribed to that person, but the original post to which your "friend" replied to pops up in your feed.
- Jean Sebastien Dussault
from twhirl
I verified today that I'm getting posts in my timeline from people that I'm not subscribed to and rooms I'm not joined in. I'm not on the beta site.

Guys, have you noticed that sometimes the number 1 search result on google also has a list of links pointing to parts of the result website. Click on the pic to see what am I talking about. Does anyone know how can we achieve this for our websites, once we do manage to get them ranked #1? Thanks folks.
Michael Roberts and 3rdincome liked this
If your site gets a bunch of Google juice, your navigation gets included in the results. I think it's a factor of those individual sub-pages ranking as well.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
It is done automatically by Google, we cant control it, i remember reading it is mentioned so somewhere in the google webmaster tools groups.

- Isha (Marysia)
Oh, is it something to do with MacExpo and Merlin Mann's presentation (referencing Twyla Tharpe's book The Creative Habit)?
- Lisa
Lisa, congratulations on doing such a great interview. Very professionally done, and it was great listening to such a cool interviewee.
- Ritesh Lal
Sorry Lisa and Yes Marysia I am talking about Twyla Tharpe's box (made me giggle when I listen to it) but the idea of the box for each new project, the scratching around with ideas and then the hard part that follows actually making something out of all of the information you have collected, got me wondering about his box.

i was so happy to see this. i mean, seriously, i've been longing for a president that "gets it" when it comes to technology, and wants to truly stay in touch... and then they were trying to take that away from him? good for him for sticking to his guns on that issue. i think he'll be a better president for it.
- Shawn C. Reed

I'm more interested in his foreign policy and his solutions for our economy than I am about him being able to play with a crackberry. It's cool, but very far from being as important as some are making it out to be.

I don't care if the NSA has approved of him using the device. It just seems like an unnecessary risk to me. Anything can be hacked in this day and age.
- Ken McNamee
he wouldn't be using it for anything top-secret, that's for sure. i agree that anything can be hacked, but i don't think that's too much of a concern with what he'd be using it for.
- Shawn C. Reed
Shawn, how do you know what he'll be using it for? Also, history is filled with instances of intelligence agencies compiling seemingly innocuous communications into a broader picture of events that may transpire. All Obama has to do is one day tell someone he is looking forward to spending some time back home and the next day mention that he's craving a particular meal at a restaurant, etc. It won't take long before an enemy can figure out where he will be at a specific time and exploit that.
