    I hate the twitter feature altogether on FF. I follow you already on twitter, don't need to be able to see it again inside FF. I can't log onto Twitter *and* FF. One of them has to go.

    That's true, but I think a lot of people like myself are even more frustrated with RSS readers — boring plain text with badly formatted images (if there are any) and more subscriptions than we know what to do with.

    FriendFeed definitely has it's issues, it's still early but it has potential.

    I think your idea of the "volume" control to display the types of stories you want to see in your FF is an excellent idea. Personally, I'm on Twitter more than almost any other social networking sites, so I get enough Twitter updates. It is the sites that I don't spend as much time logged into that I would like to get an aggregated friend activity overview of.

    If Friendfeed integrated something similar to the Facebook controls, that would be awesomesauce! Great suggestion Shey!
