I have 11 of 'em. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I have 5 right now, and one private room. - Phil G

good overview for the uninitiated - i have 8 imaginary friends currently - mike "glemak" dunn

I love my imaginary friends. Waiting to hear that Scoble has 20,000 of them. - Michael Markman

I have too many real friends to have time for imaginary ones! :-) - Robert Scoble

Hmm. I've been using this but have missed a couple events from my "imaginary" friends (who are blog-only, but those are blogs I've followed for a long time, and I want to look at every event, if there are new ones) in the noise of "actual" friends (have more sources, and are noisier... and there are other followers to "bump" the interesting events for me.) Is there a technique to make sure new posts from imaginary friends bubble to the top until they've been dismissed somehow? I can't see imaginaries "replacing Google Reader" (or Bloglines for that matter) until there's some sort of unread/checkoff feature for them. - Wade Dorrell

I set them up for the unenlightened twitter denizens so that I could see their tweets here. It was interesting, though, to see that they won't be deleted when the "real" person sees the light.... - Linda Mills

what I'd like to see is the ability to add "imaginary" sources to the accounts of real friends. There are a couple people i follow who don't import, say, their Twitter feeds, or their bookmarks, into Friendfeed, but I still want to see them. The way things stand now, I could create an imaginary friend for those feeds, but I want to splice them into existing accounts instead. - Nathan Rein

Assigning a feed to a private room is a great way to take private notes on feed items. - Tom Landini

Update: "For some reason, I totally blanked on the fact that Justin Korn wrote up his experience using FriendFeed as an RSS reader and organizer on his own blog. I feel especially bad because I encouraged Justin to write it! Honestly, I feel like a complete heel. When it comes to giving credit, I have a thing or two to learn. My unreserved apologies, Justin." http://blog.justinkorn.com/index... - Phil G

Thanks J, but my name is Korn :) Thanks for the credit. - Justin Korn

Oh, and thanks for the encouragement as well. I needed the extra nudge. - Justin Korn

Meh. I suck, sorry. - Phil G

I disagree. - Justin Korn

Ok ok. We are both awesome. But I promise to do better in the future. Thanks for the great idea! - Phil G

I have 8 imaginary friends. - Mitchell Tsai

I've added quite a few, mainly for my favourite flickr users as I get to see ALL their photos and not just the latest 5 like on flickr itself. - Kol Tregaskes
