I keep secretly wishing I hit some sort of usage limit so I have to walk away. Damn you Friendfeed and your scalability! - Mark Trapp
It's a lot harder for me to walk away from FriendFeed than Twitter. - Michelle Martinez
I refresh often too - Judy Jones
F5 = crack - Hutch Carpenter
Welcome to da club? - Yuvi
I find FF more interesting as well. - Globecode
I resent the implication that ever-refreshing FriendFeed is not constructive! - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
lol@Hutch Indeed - Shey
It's gotten so bad that I have to regulate myself. I use a plug-in for FireFox called Leechblock that you can use to limit your time during the work day.: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Dan Kaplan
huh? F5 just blips my Mac's little sound level at me. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas F5 = Command + R on a PC. Refresh. - Parth Awasthi
Yes, FF is the new internet addiction. F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5... - Tad - the Meme Maker
The only way to solve this problem is for you people to post quicker ;) - Earl E Morningwood
Use LeechBlock, limit yourself to 5 minutes an hour, you won't be sorry. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason you essentially just told Amy Winehouse she should check herself into rehab - how likely do you think we are to match your show of discipline? lol ; ) - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
At some point we just need FF to auto-refresh every second and include a pause button so we can stop the action to read stuff that catches our eyes. That would be pretty freaky, huh? - Tad - the Meme Maker
it has been eating into my reading and sleeping time - RAPatton
What? Reading Friendfeed isn't constructive or creative? - Tom Landini
like right now, for example - Sarah Perez
Sometimes I interrupt what I'm doing (re-reading the manual for Twilight Struggle) just to check for new FriendFeed action. Totally addicted. - Akiva Moskovitz
I do that too. But now we're going to see the Incredible Hulk. - Robert Scoble
F5=Crack. Crack is Whack. Flickr = Crack. FF is the new Flickr. - Russellreno
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O... It helps if you don't notice the walls of the maze aren't very high and there are these people looking down on you. - Karim
RusselReno, I had to double-check to make sure that you weren't Steve Gillmor - Todd McKinney
@Todd rofl - Michael W. May

+1 rofl for Todd. And good one Russell. - Hutch Carpenter
and sometimes you just can't help a 'likey' even thought you didn't click ... right? :) - Charlie Anzman
a bigger screen real estate could mitigate this problem - Ramesh Ramloll

Yeah it's addictive :) - JegerPhil - Phil
via NoiseRiver
Wait that's not normal??? - Mona N.
FrF cries for TTS ;) - silpol
time consumption is simply the manual behavior. Get an auto refresher and save a micro second. ;) then again, if you want to remain aware, you have to read everything! - thecolor
use twhirl and updates come automatically to your desktop... no need of refresh, layout is awesome (discussions, etc) - Gustavo Munoz
via twhirl
If we could get paid for using FriendFeed, wouldn't we all have our own private islands? - possible248
More like one palm tree, a couple of rocks, and a sewage outflow. - Akiva Moskovitz
FriendFeed Addiction:) - Igor Poltavskiy
Nice discovery - saee:Dsharif
F5 FTW! - Susan Beebe
