Try lists and filters, does the trick for me. - Mike Reynolds

Filters are great, but take a lot of time to setup - the constantly monitor will be a challenge for a lot of people. - Tony

I kinda got used to "real-time" on Friendfeed by choosing the "real-time" option every so often on the original interface, just going to be a matter of adapting. - Ed Richardson

JustSignal is a solution for all of this. Yay, Brian - Francine Hardaway

Maybe a smart filter creator that works like the suggested people to follow and help you build them out would be a killer feature. - Tony

I think we need some advanced feed settings, so we can set criteria which tells FF or Twitter what we're most interested, and it puts that content (either from specific people or topics) into a cache for us to review at our leisure. - DanielthePoet

rooms + filters - andy brudtkuhl

This isn't that different to Twitter or any other similar service. You have to keep monitoring the stream if you want to stay on top of it all. Being able to pause the stream is handy though. - Paul Jacobson

But JustSignal is going to have to hold more posts - Francine Hardaway

lists, filters, and private feeds - Damian Holmes

As I've said three times, this is good for breaking news, but not for "real" life - Francine Hardaway

you can set keyword search in your filters that may help with not missing something - still tons of room for semantic value there. - Yann Ropars

The problem is, if I want to comment, I have to throw my pebble in Jeremiah's stream, and Robert's, and KSheps, etc. - Francine Hardaway

Francine - Hold more posts? Not sure what that means. - Brian Roy

The "My Discussions" link at the top right is going to save conversations on Friendfeed! (looks like the former "comments and likes" link. Use the "My discussions" link to stay in a conversation. - Susan Beebe

Francine: my real life happens in real time. The thing is this demands total attention. - Robert Scoble

Couldn't agree more. You can't sit watching real-time feeds everywhere, all the time. - Trevor Childs

Robert: That is true but this could really kill productivity so judicious use of the "pause" button or the "close my browser now" button may help at times ... - Paul Jacobson

I wish we could set meta-level EXCLUDE filters. - Mike Reynolds

Robert - yep! - Susan Beebe

I agree 100% great way to follow news but impossible to use without blowing every minute of the day - Todd Cochrane

Filters organize. They don't help for when you step away from your screen for hours or even a day. RSS readers are superb at this. What you need is a product that can offer you the real-time information while you're present but then allow you to totally pause the flow, mark your spot, and start tracking in an "archive" or "offline" mode, allow you to then catch up in a Google Reader/RSS fashion and then resume real-time activities. - Kevin Kuphal

Amen, Jeremiah. - Melanie Reed
