By changing the HTML code on its search engine results pages, Google has rendered some automated search engine ranking programmes - and some other, non-violating tools - useless. - Andrew Girdwood
“Asking the FF audience: what do you use to engage in the FF community? The web interface, Twhirl, Alert Thingy, or something else? What are your thoughts?”

A simple but effective job site - one that searches through loads of other job sites but does so without a horde of annoying ads in the way. - Andrew Girdwood
“Random question for my FF followers: should I reduce the number of social sites I share here? I'm thinking that Digg/SU are somewhat overwhelming and would rather share only social media thoughts and ideas. Your opinion?”
Barbara I think the already exists -- check the details of the hide function - Brian Sullivan
IMO what you share and what people see are going to be different, due to the ability to hide types of entries. My opinion is "share it, let everyone else filter their own view"... the only exception would be for the blog type, since you can't filter one without filtering the rest. - J. Phil
thanx @Louis. Learn something new each day @FF. w00t! - Barbara K. Baker
I'm with everyone else: let your subscribers shape the noise. - Akiva Moskovitz
The only place where there is a flaw and being careful of what you include is in a issue is with RSS feeds/blogs where the user can only turn them all off or on - no individual switch currently exists - Brian Sullivan
Depends on what you want your FF conversations to revolve around. If you want to keep your SU/Digg convos siloed @SU and Digg, then it makes sense. - Katina Beckham French
Digg and Reddit feeds just create noise. However they are important to see what interesting stories are out there. Keep them. - MikeonTV
Because we can hide whichever feeds we want, it is not an issue. I say share everything and let your followers filter. - Rob Diana
I don't think you should. You should share everything that you can - and the onus is on us and Friendfeed to filter/cope. I'm against reducing things to the lowest common denominator in most cases! - Andrew Girdwood
Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to remove my stumble at least. Maybe my delicious too. I hate to see stuff I like come here 3 times over. - Jim Kukral via twhirl
Share everything you can... we can mute what we don't want to see. - Sean Reiser
Just come and post a little more often on FF! - Igor The Troll
i have reduced a few to reduce the noise, you may want to consider doing the same - jeff selig
I rarely pay attention to anyone's Digg, SU, etc submissions on FF but don't find it distracting when it's there. One thing I've noticed is that since people use some social media sites more for work interests and others more for personal interests, combining them all in FF creates a sort of mixed persona - Adam Sherk
Akiva - that's a great way of putting it. I might quote you. Done. http://flipside.scribkin.com/p... Brian - I just removed my identi.ca feed because it would be categorized under 'blog' and therefore not easily hide-able if people don't like my pointless blathering. - J. Phil
I think my own Digg/Reddit/SU votes are getting too noisy for *me*. But thank you all for your valuable feedback :) - Tamar Weinberg
hide is there for a reason, people here are hungry for noise so why stop - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Google has changed the definition they used for what a doorway page is. On the Google Page, it now reads: Doorway pages are typically large sets of poor-quality pages...... - Andrew Girdwood
We think short skirts and large bags could be the next items banned from Venice after Tuesday's shocking arrest of an alleged Italian voyeur with an affinity for bums. - Andrew Girdwood
The Wii’s all-white, but it’s hardly a raunchy unit. So, if you’ve been looking for ways to sex-up your console, then how about a private pole dance? - Andrew Girdwood
Google has just begun supporting Unicode 5.1, less than one month after it was released. It's now available in search, so people speaking languages such as Malayalam can now search for words containing the new characters in Unicode 5.1. - Andrew Girdwood
I've been using Blogger since 2004. As a basic blogging platform, it works. But when I read yet another account of spammers taking over the service, it made my blood boil. The problem isn't just that Google has failed to put all of the security and anti-s - Andrew Girdwood
The move made by O2 and Carphone Warehouse to offer Apple's 8GB iPhone for £100 less than the standard price has proved successful - in a week. CW has no more left to sell, and O2's apparently down to the last few. - Andrew Girdwood
A US court has ruled that users have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their internet surfing records and that police must obtain warrants from higher than usual courts in order to force ISPs to hand over records. - Andrew Girdwood
