Stumped on who to vote for this November? What if the ballot were Harry Potter versus Atticus Finch? Vote for your favorite literary character, and support family literacy.

Random question for my FF followers: should I reduce the number of social sites I share here? I'm thinking that Digg/SU are somewhat overwhelming and would rather share only social media thoughts and ideas. Your opinion?
Barbara I think the already exists -- check the details of the hide function
- Brian Sullivan
IMO what you share and what people see are going to be different, due to the ability to hide types of entries. My opinion is "share it, let everyone else filter their own view"... the only exception would be for the blog type, since you can't filter one without filtering the rest.
- Phil G
thanx @Louis. Learn something new each day @FF. w00t!
- Barbara K. Baker
I'm with everyone else: let your subscribers shape the noise.
- Akiva Moskovitz
The only place where there is a flaw and being careful of what you include is in a issue is with RSS feeds/blogs where the user can only turn them all off or on - no individual switch currently exists
- Brian Sullivan
Depends on what you want your FF conversations to revolve around. If you want to keep your SU/Digg convos siloed @SU and Digg, then it makes sense.
- Katina Beckham French
Digg and Reddit feeds just create noise. However they are important to see what interesting stories are out there. Keep them.
- MikeonTV
Because we can hide whichever feeds we want, it is not an issue. I say share everything and let your followers filter.
- Rob Diana
I don't think you should. You should share everything that you can - and the onus is on us and Friendfeed to filter/cope. I'm against reducing things to the lowest common denominator in most cases!
- Andrew Girdwood
Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to remove my stumble at least. Maybe my delicious too. I hate to see stuff I like come here 3 times over.

i have reduced a few to reduce the noise, you may want to consider doing the same

I rarely pay attention to anyone's Digg, SU, etc submissions on FF but don't find it distracting when it's there. One thing I've noticed is that since people use some social media sites more for work interests and others more for personal interests, combining them all in FF creates a sort of mixed persona
- Adam Sherk
Akiva - that's a great way of putting it. I might quote you. Done. http://flipside.scribkin.com/post... Brian - I just removed my identi.ca feed because it would be categorized under 'blog' and therefore not easily hide-able if people don't like my pointless blathering.
- Phil G
I think my own Digg/Reddit/SU votes are getting too noisy for *me*. But thank you all for your valuable feedback :)
- Tamar Weinberg
hide is there for a reason, people here are hungry for noise so why stop

I read a lot of blog posts about why people write, and why people want to be at home more. This one is probably one of the most beautiful.

Hilarious episode of Amazing Stories that has become a cult classic. My friends and I used to have Family Dog parties and we'd all recite the dialogue as we watched.

Starbucks is getting their caffeinated hiney handed to them by Mickey D's, but they're not taking it lying down. Social media to the rescue!
