That annoying FriendFeed ‘feature’ people like
excerpt
Some software can be palatable with simple toggles: on/off. That’s my solution for the FriendFeed team regarding this ‘feature’. I discovered odd behavior with the aggregator site, FriendFeed, where I have around 400 people following me. I followed roughly

There is an option on FriendFeed, where you can block "Friend of a Friend". If you follow me and I say something dumb like "Bulldog puppies!!!" to Calacanis, you can hit the "Hide" button and block "Friend of a Friend" entries from me. -
Good lord, that is the most un-clear thing ever. Taking screenshots now and posting a correction/update.
-
Seriously though - I like the friend of a Friend and have discovered new content this way. There's some noise but no more than someone's music/photos that I could filter but am too lazy too. I just ignore it.
-
I hear ya, I'm just trying to not get the noise I don't want while not zapping 'everyone'...Besides, who are we to discover? We only link to the same five people anyway, lol. I KID. Well, a little.

Oh the del.ici.ous irony of it all. Just subb'ed to Eric Rice on Friendfeed having seen this great post via, err, Friend of a Friend.
I'm off to play Grohl's song 'Friend of a Friend' now. -
I saw this via FoaF, too. Imagine: if that feature didn't exist, half of us commenters wouldn't be here right now! :D
-
Trying to avoid endless repetition in social media. Everyone shares the same damn top story on techmeme or follows the same people. I KNOW calacanis and scoble and these guys and have unsubbed and yet still get content. Know how people get all uppity with the 'well if you don't like it don't read it blah blah"? Basically, I'm attempting that, and it fails.
Side effect: Yes, you miss out on people. -
Why would you want to block 'Friend of a Friend' ? It would be like Dave Grohl blocking Kurt Cobain.

Heh

I was about to comment that the Hide function would take care of this for you, but Louis beat me to it. :-)
-
It's not lost on me that the 'Hide' function I need is hidden three clicks down.
-
Pardon? How is it hidden three clicks down? It's right next to Comment and Like. Not following, obviously. :-/
-
It doesn't have the expando-arrow like More does, indicating choices. Click Hide, the click More hide options, then click the actual choice. I was being half-sarcastic, but yeah. That's a bit much.
-
Phew! Missed the chopping block! That was a close one!

Thanks for pointing this out Eric. Hopefully my FF stream through twhirl won't be an exact copy of the twitter stream right next to it. -

I may have spoken too soon. I just deleted FF from Twhirl and then started the account again. The tweets are still showing up. How is that possible? They are not showing up on the FF site. I guess I should contact them about this. :-/ -
Twhirl might not be reading the "hidden" bit from the API data yet. I know FriendFeed sends the info out...
