Perhaps this is like herding cats though? - Brian Sullivan

If I can herd cats into smaller groups, it'll help - Louis Gray

Shawn, almost everybody is there right now. Now, I go over the ground like a magnet getting black sand and pull you up. :-) - Louis Gray

About half way through the new FF curve (Decided the do the revisit Facebook thing today instead) but definitely a dramatic improvement now that there's lots more people here. Wait, does that say Techie?? - Charlie Anzman

"Popular, brand-name users"? What are those? I thought this was FRIENDFeed, not FanClubFeed. - Avdi Grimm

I suppose this is inevitable and an almost must-do for folks with too many follows. Even though I only subscribe to about 90+ folks here, I can feel the noise creeping in at times too, and have wondered if I should use the lists more proactively. But like cleaning up an inbox, it would take time to do it.. Well, at least I have one list right now - a list of all my colleagues. And, I think you have a good process there in sorting your follows. - Winston Teo

Avdi, the idea is as it says, to take the high traffic out and better reveal those who need more attention. Anybody here will say I treat A-List and Z-List the same... - Louis Gray

I'm updating my lists as a I go along. I'm basically on the main feed, and my lists Awesome Pix and Enterprise 2.0 a lot. Will continue to refine these over time. - Hutch Carpenter

My problem is that everyone posts on many topics, so I can't sort by the genre of the users posts. All of my subscriptions are people I know ONLY on friendfeed, so I can't sort them by source of contact. They're all on at random times of the day or night, so I can't sort them by apparent location. All I have is my home feed, a list for the ones my stats say I find interesting, and a list for the ones my stats say are interested in me. Any tips? - Slippy Lane

Slippy, you need to recruit your real-world friends into FriendFeed. - Ernie Oporto

lol, -1 for assuming I have real-world friends - Slippy Lane

i love the lists, give me access to much more info quicker - MG Siegler

Louis, excellent post as I happily find each time I read your blog! :) This list concept is really a great feature of FF and I am glad you're liking it. I need to fine tune mine some more... but it really does help deliver the best content to me and I am incredibly grateful for the filtering this provides...very neat! Thanks! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)

"At work and at home, I file all my e-mail. For example, I have top level folders for "Personal", "Family", "Commerce", and "Blog", and thinking of people on FriendFeed the same way isn't that much of a stretch." I never thought about it quite that way before. Nice post. Thanks - Roberto Bonini

Organizing my lists now - Caleb Elston

I am thrilled that FF offered the list functionality, but as a result, I've found myself looking at my "favorites" list 95% of the time and the other lists 5% of the time, so it's almost the equivalent to unsubscribing from most of my list. Then again, maybe that's not a bad thing. It avoids hurt feelings, it gives me an out, and I feel less drowned. - Adam Lasnik

Must read piece for first time FFers - Charlie Anzman

I'm sure it's a necessity for ppl with a huge # of subs; I'd rather not think about it cuz I know I'm "back page" material. Ah well. ;\ - Kimberly J

Kim, the "Back Page" is just a good way to sort. If I put you next to Scoble, maybe I miss it. - Louis Gray

I still have yet to organize my lists.. - Kyle Lacy

I usually create too many lists and categories and after awhile find I only look at a few so i consolidate. still trying to find the balance. - Lorraine Ball
