Paul Buchheit

For those of you who don't like Twitter or FOF or whatever. - Paul Buchheit

superb. - Max Hartmann

Still doesn't allow you to hide all twitters without comments for everyone. - Chris White

Chris, it should. Just click on "more hide options" and the last one is what you want. - Paul Buchheit

very nice!!! Being able to hide all twitter posts make a huge difference. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Great really great joke : ) I want something really, Paul. A dislike smiley?! It will be interesting, i think. - Erhan "peanut" Erdogan

Paul, okay, the verbage confuses me. It says "Hide ALL FriendFeed entries, which sounds scary. Also, I don't know if it applies to all of a particular person's posts, or to a particular type of posts. Also, it's bad when you hide the thing you're trying to comment on. :D - Chris White

"Advanced super hide" then - great work! - Todd McKinney

Smart move. That's proven to be a popular feature in Plaxo Pulse. :) - John McCrea

Hmmm. And also. I want to make a comment, to comments directly. This new comments may be under directly comments. In a different color or a little line space. ?! - Erhan "peanut" Erdogan

Great functionality, but in general I'm pretty happy reading whatever my friends post. - Mike Reynolds

I was thinking the same thing as Chris was. Maybe "internal entries" would work better? - Michael Ryan

Very nice. Very nice indeed. I'm sure we all thank you for this one. Now can we have it on the "everyone" tab, which I do scan thru from time to time? :-) - Slippy Lane

Nice work. Aside: I have inadvertently hidden a stream from an acquaintance. How do I check it this is indeed the case (maybe she's just sulking) and unhide, if necessary ? - Andy C

Andy, go to the bottom of the page and click on 'show hidden entries' to see what would have been on the page but isn't due to hiding. From there you can 'unhide'. - Kevin Fox

You're right Chris, it's kind of confusing when the service is Friendfeed. Fortunately, nobody would ever want to hide those :) - Paul Buchheit

Thanks Kevin but at the bottom of the page I see 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Older » Other ways to read this feed: Feed ©2008 FriendFeed - About FriendFeed - FriendFeed Blog - API - Terms of Service - Privacy Policy but no 'show hidden entries' or am I being stupid (again). I reserve the right to delete this, if so. - Andy C

@Andy: That means that no items on that page were hidden. It's not a guarantee that you don't have any 'hide' settings, but that none came in to play on that page. Try paging back a few pages and see if any of them have something hidden, or search for your friend and see if that friend's posted anything in the last few days. - Kevin Fox

So with Super-Hide here, when is the port of Super Poke? - Louis Gray

OK so I can hide 'Janet's Blog entries' but Janet has 3 blogs and I am interested in 2 but not her retro musical tastes. What to do ? - Andy C

Tell Janet to stop posting about retro musical. It's in all of our best interests. :) - Chris White

@Chris White: You're right. Plus it always ends up with some talentless 80's British crooner singing 'Never gonna give you up'. I know she's pledging her undying love for me but, frankly, I'm sick of it. - Andy C

And there was much rejoicing. Thanks, Paul. :) - engtech

Hey I noticed if you go into hide and then cancel the hide option is no longer availabe on that post. I guess it doesn't matter since you can do whatever you need from another entry, just thought it was strange. - Devin Anderson

Confirming Devin's report, though I found it disorienting to have the option disappear. It happened on this entry, and I thought that someone on the back-end had disabled hiding of the super-hide announcement. :D ¶ Lacking the ability to put in a line break to separate points, I think we need a control panel that summarizes all of our hidden content and allows deleting those settings without finding a page that has one of those items on it. Adding from such a page would be nice as well. ¶ - Voyagerfan5761

Why does there have to be a "more hide options", why can't you just offer us all 3 options in the first place? - j1m

Jim: because the operations beneath the "More hide options" link are extremely dramatic (you could select that option, a new friend signs up, and you would never see their entries because of your previous hide operation). Since the options aren't likely necessary for most situations, so we didn't want to make it too tempting. - Bret Taylor

The hide option shouldn't be disappearing. What browser are you using Devin and Voyagerfan? - Paul Buchheit

@Paul: FF 2.0.0.13. Just tried it again, though, and it stuck around. Devin, still having the problem? - Voyagerfan5761

How to post a message with a pic like this one? - Lizunlong

Lizunlong, http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.c... - Paul Buchheit

This'll work, thanks for satisfying one of the top requested features (in my community fragment anyway ;) ). PS: Not to be an interface astronaut, but "More -> Unsubscribe from Paul Buchheit" seems to be somewhat related to the Hide function, and perhaps could be integrated into what's currently called the Hide dialog. It's a very similar user intent; some fragment here is creating too much noise and the user wants to take action. But perhaps unverbose the dialog if it's ever gonna be expanded. - Philipp Lenssen

This was most awaited. Thanks - Rohit Srivastwa

Good idea Philipp. I'll add that to my list. - Paul Buchheit

It's like you read my mind, thank you. An improvement for me would be "Hide [specific type] entries from friends of friends". I thought I also ran into the hide-option disappearing issue, but then realized that it only shows up in the main feed, and not when looking at a specific person's feed. Confusing? - emilie

nice ^__^. it wolud be great to have something like "reblog this" (republish this entry in my feed) option also... - minus-one

Just had an thought as i went through and hid Scoble's twitters. I chose hide his twitter unless there is a like or a comment. i figure I'll let the community decide if his ramblings are interesting. Then I thought - what would happen if everyone did that... - Alex Gawley

@minus-one: that happens if you 'like' something... - Alex Gawley

@paul - should liked or commented entries show up in the 'me' tab? i'd like them to. - Alex Gawley

I think the Hide All option is extremely broad. I would probably use it only when (if?) some people grouping feature is introduced (ie. white list) - Aviv

GREAT STUFF! - Charlie Anzman

@Paul I'm using Firefox 2 but after logging back in this morning the hide option is back for this post. - Devin Anderson

Can you include "hide" links on user pages as well? I'd like to click on someone's page, see that their tweets are all uninteresting, and then hide them from there. - engtech

I am sorry ...but I amunable to locate the feature on friendfeed .... - viki saigal

oops - i must be blind ..found it - viki saigal

Can you put the Hide link on user pages? like if I go to http://friendfeed.com/engtech -- I should see hide links under the entries. Quite often I'll look at friends pages to cull the services they use that I'm not interested in. - engtech

And other weird stuff I'd like. Instead of just having a &service parameter, I'd like to be able to do an array of services, and be able to do "notservice". Sometimes I want to view everything BUT twitter, other times not. - engtech

For some reason superhide doesn't work for me — tried to hide Disqus stuff from certain user but no luck — it still appears in the feed, instead of being hid above the paging links. :( - Urbansheep

i am happy that it also fixed the positioning problem as in when you where too low on that page; now it pops in the middle. - Nicole Simon
