sometimes it makes lips look really good though. - Thomas Hawk

FriendFeed lists can help to filter the stuff you don't want to see. Set up a 'business' list and you're chapstick free! - AJ Kohn

look i like a little chapstick now and then but how is making a list going to remove the stick? - Allen Stern

@Allen: You create a list of folks who don't participate in those sorts of memes - or at least their propensity to do so is less. So a 'strictly business' type of list gets me ... a news I can use *only* type of view. It's not 100% and I didn't adpot lists right away, but I find them VERY useful now. - AJ Kohn

yea but what if i like the dude or dudette most times but not the chapstick times? see thats why ff needs to operate like what it is, a forum - Allen Stern

seeing lips is a good thing. - Thomas Hawk

Nah, it's all about the firehose. - Victor Ganata

*shrugs* I hear ya. I know I probably give people problems in this way. I post business, marketing, bicycling, humor, food and LOLcats. I'm like Victor though, I love seeing ALL the data. - AJ Kohn

Allen: The very LAST thing the internet needs another message board and forums *shudder*. If you want a message board and forums, there's 2 x10^700 of them out there to hang out on already. - Matthew DeVries

I'm the same as AJ. I'd much rather see all kinds of stuff in one place than having to visit 50+ forums to keep up with all the things I find interesting. Because I'm lazy like that. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Personally, I'd like to see a timed function. Have separate groups you delinate friends into and then say group 1 I see all the time, group 2 only between 7 to 5 and group 3 i see always except between 7 to 5. - Sidney

Seriously. No one would've ever heard of Friendfeed if it was nothing more than another message board with forums. - Victor Ganata

Nevermind, Robert says we're all going back facebook now, someone start putting all the CD's and books into boxes, I'll start taking the pictures down......bother - Matthew DeVries

it's ok everyone - i am glad ya'all disagree with me :) - Allen Stern

The value of a forum is the people on it. At the moment, Friendfeed has a good group of people. Eventually that'll change, and we'll all move on to whatever next the tech elite declare "Greatest thin evar". Personally I miss Usenet and wish everyone would go back to that. - Eric P

women's lips especially. - Thomas Hawk

it is a message board, but with multiple modes of input.a traditional message board wouldn't have allowed us to have this conversation around your tweet. - chrisofspades

...I am sensing a theme to the posts by TH, but I cannot seem to put my finger on it... - JA Castillo
