I haven't logged onto facebook for a month. The only thing that will probably change that is a link on FriendFeed pointing to a discussion on Facebook... - Robert Seidman

Will my comments and associated thread show up in my mini feed as well? - Palin Ningthoujam

too late baby! :) - directeur

Trying to find something in the news feed to comment on. - Hutch Carpenter

I thought the new design was the priority here, geez give me POP3 and I'll be excited, this is just a rip-off, not cool facebook, not cool - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Is it live yet? I'm not seeing any type of 'Comment' button. - Hutch Carpenter

Odd. Was there about a half hour ago. The comment bubbles are missing now. Smooth roll-out. - Mark Trapp

Now the kid tackling Jesus... Does he go to hell? - Chris Reed

If I were to play ball with Jesus, would he let me win all the time? - Thomas Brox Røst

he is not exactly dressed to play baseball.... :-) - Baard Overgaard Hansen

that is frightening. - Sean Hanna via twhirl

Tacky - RAPatton

I can't figure if this is serious or a joke. The latter I hope. - Brian Sullivan

Unfortunately, there is a huge "Christian" branding effort out there. It's disgusting to me, and I'm a Christian. Look hard enough, and you'll probably find Jesus underwear. Might even find Jesus condoms. It's the same as green-washing to me. Unethical businesspeople found marketing buzzwords and gimmicks that sell, and they're exploiting them. - Raoul Pop

weird - Michael VanDervort via Alert Thingy

Yikes. I'd love to find some of these to photograph. My Jesus Christ set on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/t... - Thomas Hawk

@Brian After viewing the source site, I'm afraid it's actually serious. - Daniel Shaw

I like this. Jesus is pretty cool and I don't think he minds - Elliott Ng

Jesus is way cool. - Thomas Hawk

Ironically, I suspect many people would have a real problem if someone that looked and dressed like this was coaching their kids. - Andy Roth

Andy Roth: :) - edythe

As much as it pains me to say it, but I think Jesus is trying to "round third base," as they say, in that golf miniature. - Mark Trapp

@Raoul I hear ya - Shey

Jesus is just all right with me (but he's got as much a hand in helping you swing anything as I do) - Michael W. May

On further reflection: Jesus needs to choke up more on that bat. And is that girl seriously trying to tackle Jesus? Doesn't she know He went all-conference last year? - Mark Trapp

Incredibly strange but also rather entertaining! How many yards does Jesus usually rush for? - Nicholas Kreidberg

That robe would get in the way, but he would be awsome on a flooded field. - Russellreno

omg, I've had the hockey one for years at work. Lauren got it as a gag gift for ray, who hates gag gifts, so I ended up with it. - Misha

Believe it or not, I actually have one of these on my mantle right now. It is of Jesus tearing up the slopes on skis: http://flickr.com/photos/sacca... - Sacca

That rocks Sacca! - Hutch Carpenter

This sounds like a very useful and necessary feature - Mike Doeff

How would it be if, FriendFeed gives you list of checkboxes when you click on "Subscribe to <person>" which allows you to select items you want to subscribe to!! Afterall, If the contact is already follwed in twitter, I would not want to subscribe to his twitter feed on FF as well!! or, say I dont care what he diggs, I should be able to uncheck that item and should be done! - Jigar Mehta

Jigar, when you Hide an item, you get a message saying "See options for hiding other items like this". When you click that message, you're given the option to hide all entries from that service by that user, or all entries from that service altogether, with the option of not hiding entries that have likes or comments. Unfortunately, the "blog" category is a catch-all, and FriendFeed treats all blog feeds as the same feed for the purposes of hiding entries. - Chris Anthony

+1 - Tyler

+10 (can I?) - Voyagerfan5761

lol, you can try! - Slippy Lane

this is especially relevant as people with more than one language need otherwise to go for two accounts on friendfeed so you are not getting for example my german content. - Nicole Simon

Ontario, this feature has gotten a lot of attention and has been added to our list. - Ross Miller

Use tools that pull things together: Digsby, FriendFeed, etc. Be careful with the thought of "managing your time," though - that sounds a little too close to "work." Unless you're a Social Media Manager, you should be using these networks to connect to interesting people and have fun, don't worry about the management of them. - Vince DeGeorge

Deal as much of it as you want-can, leave the rest for good. - Doruk via twhirl

I haven't tried Digsby yet, I'll have to look into that one. Thanks! - Natitude

Let FF be your #1, use Disqus commenting and try different services when extra time is available. I agree with Vince as well, it should not be management as much as learning to integrate everything into your life as you spend more time with it. - Julian Baldwin

Stop sleeping. Focus the majority of your time on the site where you feel most at home/productive. For me that's Pownce, for my friend Josh it is StumbleUpon, for my friend Eliesha, it's Facebook. I think different services appeal to different personalities. I'm on a lot of services but I can't check them all every day. Most days it's just Pownce and SocialThing, and the others I work in when I can. - Heidi Cool

Here's my social media consumption workflow: http://www.louisgray.com/live/... - Louis Gray

Hmmm…the sites should be competing for my time. I will surely be spending the most amount of time on the sites I find most useful! - Ethan Klapper

I find it hard to keep up with everything. You kind of have to divide your time. - Jeremiah Hoyet

Great post. I start with email as well, then a quick look at Twitter, browse headlines on my Netvibes pages & feeds in Google Reader. I have to use FriendFeed more especially now where there are discussions going on in rooms. - Ellen Moore

Why Manage? Leverage them! - Igor The Troll

Yes, don't manage the accounts, manage the content that people vote upon and get it seen by the right people. - HollowMarkeD

wow great to see this pick up again... all good ideas - Natitude

Thanks for the blog post Louis! - Natitude

I have created a sort of profile hub for all my accounts. check out the top of my picture blog http://mikeontv.com/ - MikeonTV

holy smokes, you are everywhere lol That's a pretty neat idea though. - Natitude

@Natalie. I have been meaning to update it too!!! - MikeonTV

@Mike - you put me to shame *hangs head* lol - Natitude

Mike, I have the same thing but in my right sidebar widgets. All my properties! Oh, and you give me the finger! Here is one right back at you! http://www.igorthetroll.com/bl... LOL - Igor The Troll

I have the same question. I want to meet and connect with people with similar interests but with Jaiku, Twitter, Friendfeed and etc. it is a daunting task. I understand the use of the word "manage" because you've got friends and relationships in disparate places to keep up with. - Vaughn

FOCUS & Testing - test 10 of the social media accounts out for a week or two, give them all a dedicated amount of time, and then narrow it down to your top 5. - Nate Moller

Pick a few that give the best ROI and ignore the rest. - John Wesley

Thomas, you can either use the Bookmarklet (as the original post did), or the Reshare link. - Paul Buchheit

Paul, Will rooms only be allowed one admin or can we add more admins? Can administration be transferred? - Thomas Hawk

At the moment there is only one admin, but I'm sure that will change in the future. - Paul Buchheit

Paul when I use the bookmarklet it just shows the link, how do I get the cool image thumbnail like you've got here? - Thomas Hawk

When using the bookmarklet, you can mouse-over images on the page and click on them to add to the share. We have a video that demonstrates this (http://friendfeed.com/share/bo...) but I think we need to make the ui more obvious. - Paul Buchheit

it also seems like certain group names are unavailable to create new rooms and also unavailable to join. For instance "Flickr" You can't seem to create a room named that but if you go to the http://friendfeed.com/rooms/fl... domain it shows file not found. - Thomas Hawk

ahhh very cool. Thanks for the tip Paul. - Thomas Hawk

I really like the way to share images using the bookmarklet! - Joe Dawson

it's a great feature but how can i search for a room?.. - minus-one

I think it would be useful. Shouldn't FriendFeed have something like that on the site? - Alejandro S.

I would certainly keep an eye on the blog: http://blog.friendfeed.com/ Most features and how to use them are there. - Vince DeGeorge

This would be very useful. Didn't find the "Link" generator until yesterday, and only started using the bookmarklet yesterday. - Mitchell Tsai

@Louis - And I thought I was the only one worried about too much FriendFeed on the blog. But hey, I'm just writing about what I'm enjoying right now. Folks will either read it, or they won't. - Hutch Carpenter

Yes. How about 7 ways to use the Hide button? - Elliott Ng

Nice! - Shey

YES I can! My mommy bought me a wooden US states puzzle as a kid and it worked! I still remember them all ! LOL - Susan Beebe

Wahoo! Done in 4:39. What great fun! Here's the Canadian one - http://www.sporcle.com/games/c... (I missed one :-() - TranceMist

finished in 6:37! For some reason I forgot all about Kentucky - Shey

did it in four minutes. Spelling tripped me up! - Jason Kaneshiro

Canadian provinces for @Shey - http://www.sporcle.com/games/c... - Mike Reynolds

done in 54 seconds! whoo hoo! - Shey

Nice Shey (on the Canadian one), I'll try. But first, I did the US states in 2:17. - Mike Reynolds

wow that blows away any one else's US time -- nice! - Shey

Yeah, Brian Solis took this last night at the Fast Company party. - Robert Scoble

Like Elvis ; ) Yes! - Erhan Erdogan

Scoble: I updated the photo credits. Now I just need FriendFeed to add a link editor. :-) P.S. Hope you had a cool drink! Stopped doing much alcohol after turning 21, and it was legal... - Mitchell Tsai

: ) @m.ollman interesting thought you have! And now that s my turn: "Super-Like +16" : ) We need a AdultFriendFeed in near future i think :)) - Erhan Erdogan

I super-like 'Love'. - Akiva Moskovitz

Even better, charge us $1 to use it and put the money in the kitty for a beer fest. - Robert Scoble

I've been going back and forth whether we should include a "hate" feature - or, more accurately, an "acknowledge" feature. For example, if we read a compelling story about family abuse in Austria, I feel bad saying that I "like" it. - Ontario Emperor

do you "like" it or "like like" it? - Alex Haar

What about liking comments? - Glenn Slaven

what does one do when he encounters a story that is worth sharing, but doesn't "like" the premise of it? how about a customizable "like," sort of a fill-in-the-blank (i.e. grantfox laments/abhors/loves/super-likes/etc.)? if i have to "like" another red sox story i might go on FF strike... - grant

@Glenn liking names? :p - Erhan Erdogan

It's a step in the right direction but - only if you and the other 3 founders agree - you really should (I think) build out the stats features. You have a variety of small tools to filter out noise, but no good quick way to slice and dice posted information, especially in terms of popularity etc. Even a rating/feedback system (which I realize might turn into a popularity contest which would defeat the purpose) might be one option. - Alex Hammer

i like it, will you be able to do downgrade a superlike to a simple like if something you superlike more comes up? - MG Siegler

http://friendfeed.com/e/82d1ed... : ) I will buy the domain Adultfriendfeed.com; who will help me for project? Scoble? - Erhan Erdogan

@Ontario Emperor: I've the same conflict myself. Perhaps 'Appreciate'? - Akiva Moskovitz

Super-Like feels like McDonaldization of FriendFeed. - Atul Arora

While reading an item on Scoble´s Friendfeed page regarding Marissa Mayer trying to kill Google Reader (one of the products I really use a lot) I noticed that i had a problem with this "like" feature in Friendfeed; I find this news about Marissa Mayer "interesting" but i was somehow hesitating to give it a "like" in Friendfeed. And very few of the others did "like" this news either. The Friendfeed tag could be renamed to "interesting" (along the lines of Flickr´s interestingness). - peter huesken

I would definitely add a "like" to a couple of the comments. A customizable tag would be cool but probably impractical. So I think (as someone mentioned) marking a post/comment as interesting or appreciate has a better semantic connotation. - Phil Ashman via twhirl

I remember my bet again. http://friendfeed.com/e/700121... But i lost it : ) - Erhan Erdogan

ooo... then you could sell likes, and they could be like little icon gifts, and... er, nevermind :P - Adam Lasnik

What about commenting on likes and super-likes ? What about permlinks for comments ? What about threaded comments ? - peter huesken

I'd like "Like" - "Love" - "Hate" ... Hate works like "like," but something you disagree with. | edit: eh, "Hate" may be too strong... how about "Dislike" - Vince DeGeorge

Ok this counts as 1 of my SUPER LIKES :-) (feature must include a BIG happy face :-) - Susan Beebe

Well, basically you want a rating system. How about "Like it", "Love it", and "Genius"? - possible248

Adult FriendFeed :) Ha. - edythe

@edythe Guess smthg, how many people will subscribe to you at the adult one ? : ) I think Arrington or Scoble won't have any chance at this :D - Erhan Erdogan

How about a VOTING system with 5 stars - you can click 5 stars for awesome! - Susan Beebe

Stars are too much work. I have to do those over on FastCompany.tv and I far prefer the simplicity of a link I click on. Plus it works on iPhones. Stars? Too difficult on that UI. - Robert Scoble

I kinda like that :) - Deepak

I dunno, I think it's kinda so-so. Maybe I like it, a little bit. sorta. - Jason Wehmhoener

That's what you think! Super-Like x1000. In yo' face! - April Buchheit

Yeah..yeah..and when you super like 10 others, you get a whole new set of super-likes with little cute characters! Invite 20 people to super-like and unlock 5 super-likes a day!!! Oh wait..this isn't Facebook. Make it so. - Bwana McCall

Nice feature as long as we can get a "top super-likes" page. - Mike Reynolds

I guess that if you don't "like" the item, you can just make a comment. It has the same effect. Being able to reply directly to a comment would be great, the conversations would be easier. I'm not a fan of the "stars" system, though. Report as SPAM. That would be nice too. - Alejandro S.

Why don't we just admit Orwell was right and start using "good," "plus good," and "doubleplus good?" Or count the number of "likes" something gets. You could call it a "digg" instead of a "like." - Karim

Oh wait, is "digg" taken? - Karim

Limit it to 1/day and call it “LOTD” — Link of the Day. - Amit Patel

brilliant! - Aviv

Crap, I just realized @Chris Reed said what I was gonna say. Paul - Go for THREE. - Charlie Anzman

Make it. and for experiment puposes..make it paid - Varun Mahajan

please, make it so. and a "silver bullet like" that you can only use once per day - Charles Hudson

Will this allow you to un-superlike? if so, that might be a problem as some people would abuse it. - Mark Krynsky

"LOL" button on Fridays - Aviv

@erhan erdogan: i'll bet you cash money that Arrington and Scoble would *both* get better prospects than me on Adult FriendFeed! and I am with @Aviv about an "LOL" button on Fridays. Because it kind of made me LOL. - edythe

edythe: what's Adult Friendfeed, btw? - Aviv

@Aviv: ha. Erhan Erdogan thought there should be an r-rated (x-rated?) version of FriendFeed -- if you go through all the comments on this post, you should be able to follow the thread. I think he's actually gone out and bought the domain. :) - edythe

Double-Plus Like! Like++ - Ashton

Unlike Like-- hide-with-prejudice - Ashton

Super-Dee-Duper! - Ashton

one thing i was thinking about the other day was separating out the 'like' and 'share' functionality a bit. the combined functionality worked really well when the network was smaller, but i feel like i get a lot of items in my feed that people 'liked' rather than 'loved'. (and i just end up muting them which is a shame as it sidetracks my new item discovery a bit..) maybe super-like (aka love) could over rule like hiding preferences... - Alex Gawley

I think 'super like' sounds weak, maybe go along the lines of 'highly recommend' ! - Joe Dawson

The problem with super like is keeping all the comments in continuity. At first you super like jumping over tall building, but later you decide to super like flying. - RAPatton

That sounds cool - I'd also like to request a don't like... There's been a couple of times I could have used that - Paula Hawk

Levels of liking-ness (this has gotten very abstract) can be annoying to manage. Separating "like" from "save" or "star" might work. You can like something but not enough to hold on to it? Users could filter out stuff from other feeds that isn't liked by a threshold of people or saved or starred by anyone? It's worth exploring the thought in general, as all of these low-barrier-of-posting services can reach deluvian proportions quickly. - Justin Duewel-Zahniser via twhirl

@Paula you could hide the story if you don't want to see it! - Joe Dawson

Thanx Joe, It's not that I want to hide it, just want another way to voice my disapproval! :) - Paula Hawk

"Star This" would be great because I always lose a blogable(?) link I saw earlier but couldn't find later... - Anthony Farrior

I like the simplicity of like. - engtech

How about keeping Like the way it is, but creat a Hot 100 page of the most liked and commented on based on a rolling 24 hour period. Perhaps Casey Kasem could count them down. - RAPatton

A couple thoughts. If someone super-likes something, I assume that means other users should understand that of all the content to read, the super-liked content stands above it all. Time-constrained members could focus only on the super-likes? Right now, the number of likes and comments serves that purpose in some ways. Also, if there's any notion FriendFeed has of creating some sort of "what's hot" list, would super-likes count more than regular likes and comments? - Hutch Carpenter

Maybe after you "like" something the "like" button would change to a "double like" so you could express more liking of the content... counts as an extra like... maybe you get a platinum smiley? - Ross Miller

I mark this post double plus good. - Justin Duewel-Zahniser via twhirl

Fantastic, fantastic suggestion.. - Matt Harwood

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the concept. Unless you're using it to rank/sort posts. - Bill Bittner

how about this feature - I wanna put my friends(selected) likes as my likes. I mean likefeed [ subscribe to likes ] - Nayan

how about key board navigation for FF...... - sirish

super-like sound so facebookish. I'm sure that'll raise a younger crowd! - Alex von Halem

Agree with Alex, it sounds like 'super-poking' and all similar other facebook stuff - Ronald

How about multiple likes for the same item - Jason Kaneshiro

Most of the users of FF are so advanced and probably high profile. I don't think they (we) will bother with super-like, send-me-super-like, send-your-friend-super-like or any other Facebook style features. :) Alex is right, it sounds so facebookish. - Arda Kutsal via Alert Thingy

@Arda: I would hope that one goal of ff is to get to the masses, a la other successful social networks... I for one am still waiting for Tila Tequila and Obama girl to get their feeds started. - grant

http://spock.com tried a fancy "Spock Power" thing...would give Scoble even more weight! I like Scoble's simple is easier answer (esp for mobile phones). At last night's Silicon Valley Innovation Institute http://svii.org, I was asking BrightIdea's CEO if his business clients preferred only "likes" or both "likes/dislikes"(It varied), and discussed "liking systems". http://brightidea.com Evening's discussion was Social Networking as used by businesses. Dreamfish http://dreamfish.com was also there. - Mitchell Tsai

I think I like systems with just "likes." If there were "dislikes" they'd just be used by jerks to try to hurt other people. I don't think it'd reduce noise in the system. It'd be like building a roadway with potholes. - Robert Scoble

We had a discussion of how "likes only" seems to support brainstorming, but evaluation phases of innovation might need "rating systems or like/unlike". I wonder if REALLY popular FriendFeed threads might be able to use a "moderator"; e.g. just the Top 10 threads of each day or Top 100 threads of the month... (perhaps you could turn the moderation feature on/off depending on your mood). There was a "Second Life" book which talked about "un-like" wars on newbies. "Like/unlike" gone crazy in "Second Life". - Mitchell Tsai

As soon as I see "Like" and "Really Like," I'm going to start using one or the other. "Really like" waters down "Like," turns it into a pale, bland complement. Why would I use "Like" if I can "Really like"? I vote to keep the current, simple system. - Brent Newhall

Brent: I "really like" your comment. Good point. What I'd rather have is a filtering system so I can see only those items that have two "likes" or more. I guess that already is a "really like" system. It just requires two people to be involved. - Robert Scoble

How about a Slashdot-like system where you can set your personal threshhold to (A) 0-5+ "likes" (B) 0-5+ "comments" (C) ignoring/include comments written by the "poster" (D) temporary hide-lists #1-10 which you can select from a pull-down menu (E) semi-permanent black-list? - Mitchell Tsai

Or have a way to search on most commented/liked stories in a set range 0-12, 12-24 etc for a set period as well. Otherwise you would have old stories continually bumped to the top! Edit just seen by @Louis Gray that FriendFeedMachine serves this purpose! - Joe Dawson

I like this idea. This could be a great "noise cutting" feature. - Brandon Titus

I have to agree with Louis. There are less clicks but makes it more scary to click on it. Btw, are we going to get the mute function back? - Turker Keskinpala

I'm in the same boat as Louis - it seems more confusing to me now than it was before, but then I was so used to the old way. To me the power in the hiding function is not in hiding one specific post, but in the broader filtering mechanism hidden in the 'hide' options. I preferred the mute option over this. - Frederic

When i select "hide", then "undo", plz send the cursor back to the previous location on the page instead of putting me back up at the top of the page. = lost - Susan Beebe

I like the new way. - Roger Chen

I actually think people will find great use for a "Done! - Keep" pair. I think that sense of control will be great for most users and they wouldn't mind the extra clicks. People would be clicking Done! quite a bit, I think. Only thing to figure out is what to do with the comments - I'd group those entries and let the user see updates depending on the weight that they carry (number of comments, specific users, etc.) - Aviv

With the new Hide functionality (which I prefer over the previous one) - users will still have that nagging feeling of possibly missing out on a good conversation or not being able to easily find it later for reference or whatever reason. One bug I did notice is when you hide, scroll to the bottom, and click the Refresh [hidden entries] link - it displays the Undo info box for the last action (edit: looks like that was fixed :) - Aviv

Not to be overly picky - it might be a good idea to gray out the hidden entry div (the benefit of the feature is not immediately apparent to the user, IMO - still a bunch of text that hasn't gone anywhere), and also lose the "Hidden entries can be found" 2nd line after the first few hide actions (at that point the user gets the idea). Also, the text in italic (and especially the long underlined link) seems a little scary I think - a subtle yellow checkmark or something light would add a lot. - Aviv

I don't think it'd be a bad idea to add another action button in the middle there - "Unhide if commented" or some shorter text - Aviv

I'm with the Traditionalists on this one. In the old days it took two clicks to hide and we liked it! - Kevin D. White

Wow, I make a suggestion 9 hours ago, and it gets implemented! Either you saw my suggestion, in which case I'm touched and impressed, or you didn't, in which case Friendfeed should be inspected for paranormal powers. - Ranjit Mathoda

I like it! - April Buchheit

Using it more I think I am starting to like the new one. A question though: Since there is an option to "hide entries like this", does it mean that the first click on hide just hides a single entry? If so, it is even better. - Turker Keskinpala

Eh. Nevermind. I'm actually kinda liking the change. - Kevin D. White

Turker, that's correct -- "hide" only hides the single entry. Perhaps we need to improve the wording. - Paul Buchheit

i like it. it's quicker. today i was hiding a lot and i felt very slowed down by having to click more than once...plus i was at work and needed to be able to scan *quickly* -- :) - edythe

i am with Susan Beebe on the hide/undo bit. taking you back to the top of the page is indeed bewildering. took me a while to figure out where I had been... - edythe

hide from main friends page only? I only want hide from individual comment= pages (the ones that annoy me, eh?) or the persons page that annoys me (eh?). Rarely from the friend page that I have to navigate to and around and back to find the hidden hide. - Ashton

I like the fire and forget for the new hide, but, the resulting ui seems out of place. The undo is certainly frightening. - Ashton

is it hide, hide this entry one, hide this entry only unless it has comments ... yes, wording needs update. - Nicole Simon

The undo function is *extremely* frightening. It reloads the page and you lose your place. It would be easier if it would restore inline just like it hides inline. (I still like the old way better, but that's after about ten minutes of thinking, so we'll give it a bit longer.) - Voyagerfan5761

This is the first time in FriendFeed I wish there was a "Dislike" button. Hiding is very easy now, but when you UNDO it, the page snaps to the top, and you loose track of what you were writing. Plus, I like to tell FriendFeed the reason I'm hiding, as I don't actually do it that much (I hide only Scoble's and Calacanis' Twitter posts that have no comments, because I already receive them on Twitter itself, and they're many). Please, keep it the old way. - Rodrigo Jaroszewski

I like the old way. In fact, this new way confused me and I lost track of this post for a minute. To me, HIDE is about hiding people or specific streams from people. There's no way I'll devote time to hiding individual posts, especially projecting into a future where I may follow several hundred people. - Mike Reynolds

Mike, I think the merit of hiding individual posts comes into play when you are no longer interested in a post but more people keep commenting/liking and pushing the post to the top of your page every time. - Turker Keskinpala

In general, I'm *really hating* the acknowledgement messages that reload the page and bring me to the top of the page. I completely lose my place if I add a friend, etc. - engtech

Agreed with engtech. In the case of unhide, it's not that big of a deal, how often are you going to unhide anyway? But subscribe to someone on the third page, and you not only go to the top, but also back to the first page, ugh. - James Prudente

Undoing a hidden entry takes the focus to the top of the page, this occurs because of the yellow status bar that is displayed on the top of the page. I expected it to show the entry. - Shakeel Mahate

By the way, I like the UI for the hidden entries on a page, it is shown separately and it allows me to hide it again. Very cool - Shakeel Mahate

btw is it possible that there now no more "hide friends of this friends" option? this is particular annoying since there are suddenly so many fof entries - Nicole Simon

oops, now the blinkety-blinking is back - edythe

Stop consuming information. It's simple. If you give in to your impulses to constantly gather more information, overload is inevitable. Lust for knowledge is different than a quest for wisdom. You don't HAVE to know what EVERYONE is talking about. Back in my day we called that being "nosey" :P - Bwana McCall

For me, I have to force myself to tune out. I need to be willfully disconnected. I like knowing things but find the expediency and urgency of that knowledge to be less necessary as I get older. I can wait a few days to find something out and, if it's really important, the info will find it's way to me. - Jason Toney via twhirl

Information overload - (1) I try to use intuitive thinking & "grok" approaches (2) Let my computer & the Internet do the low-level remembering for me (3) enjoy smelling the roses - and boy did I find the most fragrant rose yesterday when parking to shop in Berkeley at the Bittersweet Chocolate Cafe http://bittersweetcafe.com - Mitchell Tsai

It's actually not that difficult. Figure out what provides the least amount of beneift/enjoyment and remove it from your routine. If it's a hassle to get through all your content then you have too much. - David Klein

(1) Serendipity - I don't need to see everything, just stuff that catches me at the right time. (2) RSS - bring the things I want to track to me (like RSS-ing FriendFeed searches for topics). (3) Don't follow everybody. - Hutch Carpenter
