1. I’m in favour of removing the service icons as it means less discrimination towards certain types of posts but still feel there is a need for a few services like Last.fm, that need to be clear to users: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

2. I like that there is no add link feature, it simplifies the posting process and makes the title a little tidier. Having the link at the end of the title is fine but perhaps that is one place where the full URL needs to be visible?: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

3. I like that the share box remembers the last feeds I posted to: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

4. I think the Saved Searches should be moved back OR ideally we given the option to select what boxes appear on the sidebar and in what order: http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

5. I like that "filters" are now called "saved searches" - it makes sense and makes it easier to understand, especially for newcomers. - Kol Tregaskes

6. Perhaps "friends list" should be changed to "subscriptions list": http://beta.friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

@Kol #2: displaying full URL after a title is untenable in practice, since urls can be arbitrarily long (or is it 1024 chars at most?). So you'll end up having to shorten them anyway. Therefore it's be better to do away with the "http://www." bit entirely, show just the domain followed by "..." followed by a certain number of characters of the LAST element in it. E. g. this <http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment...> would become <guardian.co.uk/.../film-hitler> - ianf ⌘

7. Creation of a new feed is confusing. At the moment we have to go into the Groups page and create new "groups". Perhaps the Create new Feed should be resurrected to the bottom of the sidebar?: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

8. There is some confusion with the FOAF feature and where it works and where is doesn't work: http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - Kol Tregaskes

9. There might be less spam in the FF-Feedback room if there was a clear guide after new users have registered. The first thing they see is the FF-Feedback group group entries on their home feed (as they are automatically subscribed to the FF-Feedback group). A quick overview or tutorial would really help. Perhaps new users should go through a mini questionnaire asking them of their interests and then FF suggests some groups they might like relating to their input. - Kol Tregaskes

agreed with 9, because it's great to direct people to the room but confusing if they are not aware of what is happening - Mike Chelen
