This would be an alternative for "If your problem involves personal information, or you don't feel comfortable publishing your message to the discussion group."

Yeah, I'd like it too. And to underscore the usefulness of such a feature I created this room with the deliberate intent of deleting it as soon as "delete room" becomes available. http://friendfeed.com/rooms...
- Dominic Jones
I would like this feature too... if only, to give a room a fresh (content) start...

hey friendfeed, can you check out the "best of day, best of week, best of month" settings? I know that my subscribers "like" and comment on things, but these actions do not "kick" that content into the "best of" pages, OR, if it does, they only stay there for a little while before decaying. As it is, new/1/7/30 all look the same. thanks!
I'd like to have a widget by room. And why note to choose to include the messages rooms automatically in a general widget (optional in the room's settings).
Great idea I would like to see this, also I am intrigued to see how the API will incorporate this. AlertThingy and Twhirl will need to be tweaked!
- Joe Dawson
Would be very grateful for this feature, want to add FT Techfeed room to our blog (many thanks for the services feature just added)
- FT Update
Permission to bump this? It's been two months and rooms are still trapped in Friendfeed without an embed
- Chris Nuttall
I would like this as well... It's July and I don't see the capability to do it...
- Justin Long
Did we get this feature? Really would love this!
- Sumit Chachra
I really want Friendfeed to let me embed a room for an event. Also pull in flickr groups, video groups (youtube & qik), etc. Any ideas on embedding a room?
Note: When going to add/edit services for a room, the list of connected services does not appear like in the home feed.
- Rob Spectre
So when you're in the room's "Add/Edit services" page, can you click on any of the "Active Services" to the right? If so, that's where you'd choose to remove the feeds in question.
- Mitch
Sure you can. If you're the room's moderator, just open up the list you'd like to import and grab the RSS link from the very bottom of the page where it says "Other ways to read this." Then paste that as one of the room's services.
- Mitch
I was under the impression that you couldn't create a room using the same name as a user. For example, http://friendfeed.com/rooms... doesn't exist; it just redirects to my feed and doesn't allow me to create it either. Maybe this restriction was added after you created the "jobs" room nickname for which the "jobs" user already exists: http://friendfeed.com/jobs
- Tony Ruscoe
Tony is correct. There is a single namespace to avoid confusion between users and rooms.
- Bret Taylor
Will this remain like this "forever"? It makes names of (wider) interest less available and makes it possible for people to behave like things and snatch useful room names. For example: "opensocial" cannot be a room now, although it should be.
- Nenad Nikolic
@Nenad I also think it would be better if it were optional to have a room with your username.
- Benedikt Koehler
I hope FriendFeed will consider either separating user and room namespaces or at least offer an option for users to "lock" a room with their username. Furthermore, it's weird that a URL of a non-existing user does NOT get redirected to a room with the same name, while a URL of a non-existing room gets redirected to a user with the same name. Any comments from the officials? :-)
- Nenad Nikolic
So I added two feeds to a room for the same site: One for comments and the other for the blog's main feed. Then I decided I should remove the comments because they are flooding the room. The problem is, I can't. The two feeds are indistinguishable in the edit/add dialog.

Suggestion: in the friendfeed front page (maybe upper right corner), I would like to see a sign in form where I can type name and password. I don't really want to click on "sign in" link then type my name and password
I'm not sure about this, but if someone in a private room subscribes to the room's atom feed on a public aggregator like Google Reader, Bloglines, MyYahoo! etc. isn't the contents of the private feed going to become public? By removing the autodiscovery code for the feed, you make it harder for people to inadvertently compromise content that other room members posted with the understanding that it would be private. Personally, I think there needs to be a clearer definition of what private means on FriendFeed.
