Ok, so I built a little tool to batch-unsubscribe from FriendFeed users. It will be styled later, but it does the job. http://ffbatch.brettkelly.org - please test it out and let me know if it breaks :)
Hey Brett, I think you should make the input field type for the Remote Key into password instead of plaintext. Just for a small layer of security.

ah, yeah, I actually meant to do that before posting it :)

I'm just used to sites that show some brief example of how they work, or that have a screenshot or whatever :P

No, don't bother hiding the passphrase. How often are you using something like this from a public computer, or where someone can see your screen?
- Michael R. Bernstein
Brett, it would be nice if the tool showed some metrics next to each name (comments, likes, some kind of mutual compatibility or engagement measure) and let you sort by that as well.

This is great Brett! Is the source somewhere or is it closed source?
- EricaJoy
I may open the source up at some point, but I have large plans for the FF API (not necessarily selling anything, but plans nonetheless). We'll see how it goes :)
- Brett Kelly
No worries, what I want to do isn't possible yet anyhow. :)

Create a way to subscribe to all subscribers. Subscribers aren't exposed via the API (yet) so this seems either very hard or impossible now.
