While I'm at it, is there a way to subscribe to "My discussions" so activity shows up on the Home feed? I know I can get notifications, but I want them in the main stream.

Ian, if the person posting the discussion is on your home feed list, then that activity does show up on your home feed. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Ok, but if the person isn't on my home feed list, it doesn't show up (e.g., your reply didn't). It would be nice if it did, otherwise I might miss it.. - Ian Murdock

The differences (if not distinctions) between one's own feed, Home, and My Discussions can best be explained as Ego, Aggregate, and Sieve channels. The first one contains every post you ever initiated; second all other subs you signed for; and third a LIFO-cumulative record of everything you ever contributed to (incl. Likes, which really should be thought of as Flags, whether one... more... - ianf ⌘

Also I want this for the real-time API with home. Or a real-time API for discussions. - YungSang from FriendFoo

I understand the differences. But I can subscribe to Groups--why can't I subscribe to my discussions? - Ian Murdock

Because you'd be subscribing to an already aggregated parts-view that may or may not include threads from groups you are not subscribed to, only visited intermittently? Apparently this is how FF wants us to distinguish between Home- and Outhouse-held debates. - ianf ⌘

I still want to track the posts which I liked and/or commented at the public stream and search results, without opening the "My discussions". - YungSang from FriendFoo

Is there a way to "mute" certain services from a friend's stream? I use Google Reader to read blogs and Tweetie for Mac to read Twitter and don't want to see duplicates.

Don't you just want to use "Hide?" You can then choose to "Hide" a specific service from a friend. For example, you can hide StumbleUpon entries from me but see them from others... or you can hide StumbleUpon entirely. You should be able to see those options when you click on Hide. - Tamar Weinberg

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! - Ian Murdock

Hmm, no Gillmor Gang's on iTunes since April 19. @stevegillmor is this your way of saying that RSS really is dead? : )

LOL @Steve :) - Roberto Bonini

so instead of giving a useful answer your lolling us? - franzstehrn

RSS is no more dead than TCP/IP or SMTP or any other transport protocol we no longer see. How relevant it is in the real time world vs., say, XMPP is another question... - Ian Murdock

Agree with Ian. - Roberto Bonini

I also agree with Ian...as I said on the original thread on this issue, RSS is only dead in the sense that it is ubiquitous and unlikely to be further developed. However, some transport protocols should be killed rather than be dead in that fashion. RSS is fine as far as it goes. - Neal Jansons

Acronyms are dead - Matt Terenzio

What about recursive acronyms? GNU, anyone? :p - Neal Jansons from IM
