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

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

rooms + filters - andy brudtkuhl

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

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

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

What do you think about the new Friendfeed User Interface? Check this Poll: http://is.gd/r1DI - Yaron Orenstein

You would think. - Phil Glockner

ESPECIALLY the pop(up/under)s. I haven't noticed one since I started being on the internet! (Which was with Firefox, btw) - Yuvi

I just dumped 8 feeds from my reader that only gave partial feeds and included ads on those posts. - Tony C (Unrated) from fftogo

yeah partial feeds are the devil - (jeff)isageek from fftogo

true that. Green Options, one of my fave collections of green blogs only does partial feeds and it drives me nuts when I'm on my phone. - Cat Laine

Regarding partial feeds, you can try this tool: http://labs.echoditto.com/fulltex... .. please read the blog post to get the author's intentions for the tool. - Phil Glockner

Obviously, people are looking for the click through traffic and then visibility to their advertisers ... but it bugs me too (a lot) and I almost never share them unless they're really beneficial. Time to monetize your feeds gang :) - Charlie Anzman

agreed. agreed. agreed. agreed. - Yah, what he said! - Tim Hoeck from NoiseRiver

I don't do much page design any more but it looks like Adobe InDesign. Thank god quark seems to finally be fully dead - Stefan Hayden

In-design and CS3 blow out quark! - orionstarr

I had a lot o arguments with my college my first year (7 years ago) because they were teaching quark and didn't believe me when I said it was on it's way out. - Stefan Hayden

I know every company I worked out for awhile there was using Quark, annoying! - orionstarr

Colleges generally don't care about what's "on it's way out" -- only "what they've already paid for". ;) - xero

I guess they just kept arguing that quark was the "industry standard"... my argument was that the industry sucked. So I guess I was not very convincing either. - Stefan Hayden

You mean the print industry? - orionstarr

haha.. I just meant whoever used quark.. though seeing how my senior projects were all websites I definitely did not want to be part of the print industry. - Stefan Hayden

Didn't people stop using Quark 10 years ago? Or was that PageMaker? - Larry Kless
