- Michael Nielsen
Looks nice on first glance, and it seems easier now to reach rooms. The friend lists should be a great way to organize my imaginary friends which are basically topic subscriptions. The "Add/ Remove friends" link is confusing at first because when you don't have any friends in the list yet, clicking it will result in nothing (making you wonder if it's broken). The message sharing post...

The above is essentially a baseline Mac Pro replicated using the cheapest minimum required components to build. The difference? A negligible $5.67. Those who claim that they can build "the same" PC for half the price are at this point baseless. Also note

- Michael W. May
from twhirl
Agree with the comments: "If you're stupid enough to pay retail for a Dell, then Apple just might be the computer for you." and then "The author's main point is that Macs are similarly priced to PC's. Then halfway through the article, he states that MAC prices are at a premium because it's from a top-shelf manufacturer and it is sold to cater to a "lifestyle." Did you read the article before you posted Leo or just stopped at the headline?

- Henry Burger
A quick way to save $177.49 would have been to install Leopard instead of Vista.
- David Lounsbury
Even during the times when Macs are significantly more expensive than similarly spec'ed PC's, you can never put enough emphasis on the app's that come pre-installed on the Mac, right out of the box, and just as important, the visual appearance and design that goes into making them look... well, I know it's just personal taste, but Macs just look great.

Wow - I use Friendfeed the opposite way.
- Steve Rubel
why would you do that? Seems like way too much... I've been moving in the opposite direction - removing people I've been following so I can have far less noise
- Jonathan Greene
I went from 10 to 100 a little over a week ago and it certainly made things significantly more interesting. FriendFeed is taking a lot of my attention away from Techmeme, and providing a much broader view of what's going on out there.
- Larry Rubin
Tad, it took me a long time, maybe 3 or 4 hours. I don't have or know of a script to auto add reciprocity. I think Scoble had one for Twitter but I don't know of one for FF yet. Basically I went to who subscribed to me and then cmd-clicked them all into new tabs and one by one went through adding people.
- Thomas Hawk
Jonathan and Steve, there is no need to remove anyone when you have the "hide" feature. If someone is too noisy you just need to hide whatever is causing the noise. I'm discovering lots of new interesting people this way. I love it. Even when someone twitters in a language I can't read for instance I can hide their twitters but still get their great flickr photos or flickr faves. selective hiding by service rocks.
- Thomas Hawk

I"m still not sure how you can possibly keep up with the information blitz that comes from 1000+ contacts. I get Scoble's meme about 'noise' over 'news', but I don't know how you sort out the useful nuggets from the rubbish.
- Daniel Norton
Daniel, you can't, not when you're subscribed to that many. It's like a firehose. The info just keeps coming. I honestly have no idea why Thomas and Robert and others do this to themselves. You'd need to do nothing else all day but to watch the FF or Twitter page if you wanted to keep up with it all, and even then I think you'd miss a lot of updates from people.
- Raoul Pop
I don't follow thousands of people on FriendFeed or Twitter, but even with the hundreds that I do follow, I feel like I'm dipping my toe in a rushing stream. Luckily, there is search. And in FriendFeed, comments and likes keep things bubbling.
- Ontario Emperor
Is there an easy way of doing this in bulk, or did you click subscribe on 1000 accounts?
- Duncan Riley
At what point does it become too much to handle?
- Morton Fox
Duncan, unfortunately there was not a way to do this in bulk. Morton, I'm not sure it will ever be too much to handle thanks to hiding things. It's a balance.
- Thomas Hawk
FriendFeed should scrape Flickr for when your FF contacts start a post in a group thread on Flickr. There is currently no way to track this on Flickr and it would be invaluable for staying better connected with your Flickr contacts.
Paul Mison, Lou Rech, Grant Bierman and 4 other people liked this
Keep those cards and letters coming. There is so much interesting action on Flickr that could be exploited.
- Russellreno
I'm always surprised that FF doesn't do more in the way of aggregating identities For example if an imaginary friend from a service joins FF give me the option of making them into a 'real' friend. Or tell me who on FF I already know from elsewhere and give those people greater weight in the recommendations. Or make the recommendation algorithm time-based so that I get different people recommended to me over time
- Adewale Oshineye
I wish there was a way that I could see all of the people who are subscribed to me that I am not subscribed to yet on FriendFeed. I can see everyone who is subscribed to me, but there is no way to filter it that I know of to show who I still might want to subscribe to.
Madsimian, Lou Rech, Garrett Fitzgerald and 24 other people liked this
You can do what Scoble did and just post an open request. For what it's worth, you're not subscribed to me. :)
- Nathaniel Payne
I look at it as a recurring process of seeing people's comments, what they blog about, what they share/bookmark. I've also used the friends-of-friends feature a lot for finding new subscriptions. It's a slower process, but each subscription is based on something that clicked with me. A good way to build out your subscriptions.
- Hutch Carpenter
Mouse over their name and you can see if they you are subscribed to them yet, or they to you.
- Robert Scoble
good point, ff lacks some sort of mass division of people into subscibed/unsubscribed, just as with following/following you.
- Iain Baker
Yeah, just like the glowing comment icon, it would be neat if there was a visual cue when someone commented or liked something who was subscribed to you but you were not subscribed to (and/or vice versa). Was the english that I just wrote?
- felix
@Nathaniel, thanks! just added you. Scoble I think you are right. That's probably the best way to do that for now, but what a pain. And what happens 3 weeks later when I want to do it again.
