a page shows say, 30 entries, between two refreshes, say there's 2000 new entries by friends and friends of friends... you see what I mean? - directeur from NoiseRiver

We need some way to lens ACROSS content, to view things based on value / ranking / medium, etc. Already there's more content in even my shallow feed than I can comfortably follow, and few of my friends even use FF. - Alexander Williams from NoiseRiver

One word: BLOCK ;) - Mona Nomura

I expect we'll see more than you realize. Likes and Comments keep stuff bouncing to the top until you get a chance to see it. - Hutch Carpenter

I'm liking and commenting just to bounce ya twice. ;) - Internet's Tad

Best guess is that hyper growth is already being foreseen with numerous solutions. These guys are good! - Charlie Anzman

only if you subscribe to everybody under the sun. I'm sure scoble aleady has that problem here and on twitter - Brett Kelly

Block and Hide aren't nearly good enough for the things I want to do when updates hit several tens per second. I, really, want things like Boolean filters of near arbitrary complexity, feedback learning, and flexible presentation ranking, just to stay sane. - Alexander Williams from NoiseRiver

I'm telling you guys - Lindsay totally pegged it. FF is the site that just DEMANDS an Intelligent Agent to sift through the volcanic soil to expose the rough diamonds. If the FF devs have half a brain, they have a genius or two slaving away on that right now. - Internet's Tad

I agree, lots of stuff falls through the cracks through out the day. I think the 'best of' was added for this reason. I haven't really used it that much though. - Tsega Dinka

but all the good stuff is reshared... personally my eyes are trained to scan content quickly and efficiently. it weeds out what i'm interested in and not. if all else fails, there's always the "BLOCK" or "HIDE" options... - Mona Nomura

Resharing is data-cluttering, as I see it. I want a system that unifies references to URLs, for one. It tells me where that reference is made from (Rooms, friends, likes, whatnot), but only gives me a single thing to look out for any given referent. The actual rest of info is just useful metadata for building lenses out of. - Alexander Williams from NoiseRiver

You ask the wrong question with your prediction my multi-lingual friend -- the question is not whether we will see too much, but whether we will see enough? FriendFeed (with or without NoiseRiver) is an extremely good model for seeing "enough". NoiseRiver will allow the "noise lovers" to see even more :-) - Robert Seidman

As more people join, simply being good at managing who you follow will be more important and should keep the noise down. - Martin Bryant

Surely people like Robert Scoble are already at that level, he manages fine! - Joe Dawson

:-) - Mitchell Tsai

Joe's right. Bring it on! - Robert Scoble

Especially if one uses small screens and apps like twhirl to view the feed... - Henk de Kruyff from twhirl

We'll just need a CloseFriendFinder app to sit on top of FriendFinder - Craig Thomler

I don't see the problem if there is the right method to represent the contnet, in a away that the fruition of it by the user would be easier... - Edoardo Piccolotto from twhirl

Yes. There is the potential for much more clutter here than twitter, for example. FF needs enhanced filtering tools. - Ian Fogg

It's already happening for me. Need tags. Plus likes and comments only go so far. What if I like stuff only a few others like? How do I find that? - Larry Huffman

if more of my friends were on FF I wouldn't be subscribed to so many people I don't know - Samuel Bostock

the average user isn't going to be subscribed to that many people. and the mainstream will be much less "active" in terms of generating content than the hardcore early adopters. In short, I don't buy the argument. - Jamie

The average user doesn't use the majority of features present on mobile phones. In Portugal owning a expensive phone is a status statement, but most of them could use the cheapest mobile in term of features used. With software and web services it's the same, people use just a subset of the features, and they have to be in front of them. Power users and all it's likes and dislikes are useful to test the limits of a application, but besides that are not the voice of God. - Mário Pires

This is where the top posts of the day/week/month will come into play. I sure that someone will comment or like a post before it flits away. It does bear consideration though, put some brakes on the speed of posting perhaps? - Mathew A. Koeneker from fftogo

Maybe a combo of FriendFeed and Digg? people could set to only receive posts with X number of likes/comments...or based on the rep of the person posting... - Craig Thomler

If i could create "groups" of people by subjects relevant to me perhaps it would be more manageable. - Mário Pires

so there will be meta services (think summize). Cool. no problemo. - john conroy

Just look at the Everyone feed. Only imagine articles with 1,000 likes (ala Digg) and 500 comments (ala slashdot). Some people may want the raw feeds, we'll need new filters/views/trails/signposts/guides/topics etc... - Mitchell Tsai

@Mario Agree. GM script for Friends / Groups http://ffapps.com/filters/ - Hao Chen

I think we'll just end up hiding a lot more stuff - Shey, Jamaican of FF

I have the feeling that the FF staff will roll with the punches. Scalability! - Steve Isaacs

@Robert Scoble: you WON'T be able to manage that noise. It's simply a mathematical fact. Say, you see 30 post, and between two refreshes, 20.000 entries are posted. The next page will show the last 30 of these 20.000 new entries. You will miss the entries in between. Liking or commenting from FOAF won't help. Because the flow will run... fast. - directeur from NoiseRiver

Prescient in Twitter's case. For awhile it was so for FF too. I don't know about now however; things are slower. - Fulaan

Phew! Who bumped this??! :) - directeur

That would be me sir. - Fulaan

Hi, mohomed! That's so old, how did you find it? :) - directeur

I was looking for a post with an mp3 attached to it from awhile ago that I needed, but couldn't find it. It's some soft of new jazz from Turkey. A bald guy with blue was attached as an image holding some sort of instrument. But I stumbled across a bunch of good other old posts. - Fulaan

Could it be Mercan Dede? - directeur

You continue to amaze me monsieur http://friendfeed.com/directe... Thanks so much! - Fulaan

Thank you! Tout le plaisir est pour moi, Dhanaan! :) - directeur
