I can’t bring myself to use it. I dread seeing the update. It’s just too much noise and one more thing I don’t have time to keep track of.

@Louis I’m honestly starting to wonder if they are paying you to cheerlead for them. I might like it more if they are giving out cool pom-poms.

I’ll “absolutely, positively” you in a second.

Count me in Mark. I just don’t find it extremely useful. There is just too much coming in to be able to get to the good stuff. If I really want to follow all the things a person does, I’m going to find ways to make sure I can pay attention to all those places.

Hi guys,

FriendFeed does have those filtering options. Click the “Hide” button, you can hide

- just that entry
- just that service for that user
- that entire service

Under the “More” link you can unsubscribe from the user.

I’m with you Mark. I’ve been fooling with it for a few weeks now, and am about ready to give up.

Don’t remember where I saw this, but I thought the description was appropriate when the writer referred to FF as a “noise aggregator”.

I totally see your point. I have mixed feelings about it. I love it, I’ve added it to Facebook and it’s been great (so far) but it is a lot of information overload.
If Friendfeed were to add filtering options to let me choose which activity feeds should be reported (like Facebook does) it would be much more manageable and a very powerful aggregation tool.
