Yeah. Just click the Hide link and then you can set the options to always hide posts of friends-of-friends - Grant Gochnauer
It only show you things that your friends liked or commented on. This is the core function of ff so you don't want to turn it off. If you're seeing too much junk, you have the wrong friends :) - Doug Brooks
Next question -- does Friend Feed have a way to respond directly to someone or start a conversation with a specific person? - Grant Gochnauer
@Grant, you can always comment. There's no "direct message", though. - Paul Reynolds
@Paul Reynolds I thought that was the case. However if you comment or post something, the person you want to contact might not ever know if they aren't your friend yet :D.. @Paul Buchheit -- maybe a new feature? :D - Grant Gochnauer
I like the friends-of-friends, my issue is that certain friends add all their followers, then I end up with huge list of random people that my friends don't actually know (making FF less useful as a utility for me).. does that make sense? - Kevin Rose
You'll never make friends if you don't venture outside your bubble. Just saying. - Aaron Brazell
the whole point is that you are only seeing posts that your current friends are liking or commenting on. The logic being that your friends are only recommending items of interest for you. It's also a great way to discover other interesting feeds. If you are consistently seeing bad articles try unsubscribing or hiding specific people that are providing the bad content. - Doug Brooks
Noob! Click hide. It works for me. Welcome to the dark side, Mr.Rose. - Mike Lewis
Took me a little digging to figure it out too... Robert Scoble has way to many friends who like to post. - Keith Rowland
I'm a victim of Scoble's friends flooding my FriendFeed. Going to take awhile to get used to this site. - Sam Houston
Kevin we are only separated by 6 or 7 degrees. But as the above posters suggest, dump some of the big time emitters of material. - Steve P
Nice clicked on hide and that did it for me. That sht was bugging me. - nick
I unsub'd Scoble for precisely that reason, and F became much more usable. Subscribing to someone on Friendfeed isn't a matter of establishing a contact... it's picking an information editor and peer. - Roger Benningfield
I wouldn't mind seeing this wither Kevin - Think a reshare to the Feedback group would be good. It's not the friends of friends that really bugs me. It's the feeds that are being attached to them (IE: If I want 'NewsJunk', I'll subscribe.) - Charlie Anzman
You can always view someone's home page & discussion page (even if you don't subscribe), so subscribing on FriendFeed is more of a "if you need to see stuff as-soon-as-it-happens..." - Mitchell Tsai
It'd be amusing to be able to see 'blocked-by-a-friend' posts. It'd be full of people in Scoble's timeout. Oh, and plenty of IgorTheTroll. - Akiva Moskovitz
I was getting to the point of wanting this turned off. Thanks for asking the questions as I was getting fed up with Friend of Friends. - Edward
