Friendfeed, give me filtering please. I don't give a shit about US domestic issues thanks. - Mo Kargas

this story bugs me too. - linkman77

What sucks is people I don't follow, but say, Mona N follows, I get all their diggs. So my feed is absolutely coated with the same story and X comments. I can't see anything but the diggs. It's ridiculous - Mo Kargas

Hide all the diggs, sorry. But Mo, do you understand how awesome this is? In just a few hours, the story made it to 'popular'. It's the power of the internet, seriously. - Mona Nomura

oops, directions. Click 'hide' on a digg entry --> hit options --> click, 'hide all entries like these' (don't worry, the entries are at the very bottom of the page, so tomorrow, when it dies down, you can un-hide, if you want :) - Mona Nomura

I like to click on certain streams like mona's and then just bookmark it so I get just one person's. I bookmark all my favorites so I see all they have done. I do wish there was a page of no friend of friend stuff though. - Shawn aka ringking from twhirl

Not your fault Mona, just another example of why FF needs some sort of comprehensive filtering. I'm glad the issue has risen for you, but I simply don't care about it. Thanks for the tip ! - Mo Kargas

It sort of felt like you were pimping the story. I decided to skip over it for now. - Mathew A. Koeneker

No prob. - Shawn aka ringking from twhirl

Mathew: Fair enough. I do not know the man, personally, only through FriendFeed. However, after reading his piece, I felt strongly about the situation since: 1. He did no wrong. and 2. It is NOT ok for people to be treated in the way that he was. Instead of reading, complaining, and moving on with my life, I decided to do something about it. If that's portrayed as 'pimpin', then so be it. :) - Mona Nomura

Shawn: Thank you for the kind words about my stream, and I'm glad you enjoy it :). There is a way to turn of FoF option... I have to look, brb - Mona Nomura

I'm wearing out my "hide" button because of this story. - Louie

Mona N, I did what you suggested, I swear it came up with 'hide friend of a friend' stories? - Mo Kargas

Mona: No harm, no foul imho. It just seemed to pop up a too virally. If it is still around tomorrow, I will read it. - Mathew A. Koeneker

From bacon to spam? What has become of the quality meat? :P - Mark Forman

Mo: Yes, I just tried it, and that's exactly the way to do it :) And I was digging through my account settings, and such LOL!! Louie: If you read a few lines above you, you'll find out how to hide more efficiently ;) @Matthew: I don't feel this strongly about topics, often. so hopefully you'll come around to reading the story ;) Thomas Hawk does amazing things for the FriendFeed community, and this is the least that I felt I can contribute! =) - Mona Nomura

@Shawn: If the Friend tab is too 'noisy', and you'd prefer to filter by individuals, there's always the RSS option! - Mona Nomura

@Mona: That is what I do now. I have one for you, Chris Pirillo, Leo Laport, and a few other people. Just wish I could have a page devoted to the people I subscribe to. Ohh well. - Shawn aka ringking

Mona: those hide options don't help me at all. I don't want to hide all of member x's entries, or all diggs, or blah blah blah. FF needs a filter option so I we can hide all of these repeats. I read, I dug, I'm over it. - Louie

Then join the FF room and bitch at them, Louie. I don't develop for FF.. :) btw, you can hide all 'digg' items for tonight, then un-hide... btw, why aren't you on AIM you bastard! @Shawn: I wish I can offer a better solution, but that's all I can think of right now =( - Mona Nomura

Maybe I should drop a suggestion of that on the friendfeed forum or something. - Shawn aka ringking from twhirl

Mona: I never said you did. I just meant that your suggestion didn't apply. Anyways, back to the Olympics. - Louie

@Mona: It's cool. I've had FF running for like a month and still trying to figure it out :) - Shawn aka ringking from twhirl

Shawn: FF may seem a little hectic, but once you get used to, it's SUPER addicting. Btw, Louis Gray has some AWESOME write-ups on FriendFeed features and functions. They actually helped me A LOT! ;) http://www.louisgray.com/live... - Mona Nomura

I feel quite dumb and figured it out on my own. I just go to hide something and then goto the options of hiding and it says hide friend of friend. So I got it the way I want it now. - Shawn aka ringking

Dude, I'm RIGHT with you! It took over a month, to figure out how to post via bookmarklet.. and I'm *still* learning new features and functions everyday ;) But I'm glad you were able to customize it the way you wanted to! Once I got used to it, I no longer go on my Google Reader, since FF provides me with all the latest headlines (and diggs HA!) - Mona Nomura

@Mona: So true. I love FF for it being a RSS reader. I have a couple of imaginary friends. I wonder how many people know about that feature? - Shawn aka ringking

Shawn, I think you JUST may have done your part with informing :) Mo: Sorry to hijack the thread. But hopefully it was more helpful, than harmful :D - Mona Nomura

@Mona, no worries, no harm done at all, your help is just what I was after :) - Mo Kargas

It's amusing Friendfeed is like a chatroom we start on one topic and then somehow get to another which is not really related at all :) - Shawn aka ringking

This is why I only ☻ "Like" the original post by Thomas Hawk. - LouCypher
