“In trying to register my microblog with FF, I have accidentally deleted my main blog posts from FF (same domain name as microblog). Is there a way of getting them back?”
“I have my own microblog. I registered the feed as blog. How do I prevent FF from linking to the posts? They should only appear as messages (like Twitter). See my feed for examples.”
I'm thinking that "liking" something is similar to "starring" something in Google Reader... it is left up to you how you want to use it. You can star something to refer to later, to mark as something to finish reading later, to email to someone, etc. I'm not sure there's a defined purpose for "liking". - Adam Darowski
I'm with you re:liking=starring. Just seems that if you comment on something it should automatically become liked. - Noah Carter
They have the same effect. In my case, sometimes I have nothing to add but I found the item interesting. So I "like" it. :) - Alejandro S.
Noah, suppose your comment is that you disagree with someone's post? There are plenty of ways that commenting is not the same as liking lol. - Marysia
“Where is "show hidden items"? I've accidentally hit "Hide" instead of "Like" and want to recover. Don't see the alleged "Show hidden items" choice at the alleged "bottom of my feed." Can someone be specific? Thx”
OK, so I've found it floating by page. Now I hit "Un-Hide" and just get the circle thingy and it never un-hides! FF, make this easier! How about a "Hidden Items" in the right sidebar along with the comments and likes? - Charles Balazs
More info (not that anyone may care). I had a Greasemonkey script that hid visited items. I hit the FF limit for hiding items! >57K! - Charles Balazs
I don't like the way that scrolling locks to the top of each entry - longer entries are unreadable. - Richard Bradshaw
I was using FF in Twhirl but I always end up going back to the website itself. Haven't really found an application for FF that I really like. - Chris Rodgers
I use Twhirl for it....It's all right....not spectacular but like Chris I havent found anything I really like for FF - the_IT_factor
Twhirl is great for Twitter, not so much for FF. I keep it up so I get notifications when something new and interesting is up. That's about it. - Brian Bufalo
I am subbed to a lot because they cover a wide variety of topics. It is a hit or miss thing - I only catch the latest of when i check in which is generally a few times each day. - Ruth Ferguson
@justin - that works great for twitter, but not for friendfeed (so far as I can tell). For instance, your comment didn't show up in my summize.com feed - Rob Williams
I'd like to add mine also. But until it's supported you can send it in as an RSS feed (like a blog). Think of Utterz as an audio blog with RSS. But hopefully they'll support it soon. - Rob Williams
“I definitely want an option to disable FriendFeed auto-refresh. By the time I've read a linked entry, and come back to like or comment, the entry has disappeared from the front page. I'm not going to hunt for it.”
“About adding stuff: how does FF decide what to allow imported and can we suggest stuff? And it would be cool if the favicon for rss showed up instead of the rss icon.”
“One thing I like about FF is that an item moves back to the top of the list when someone comments on it. It makes it easy to see where the discussions are. But it brings with it a problem ... it's difficult to know how far you have to read before you're reading old stuff. How do you deal with this?”
this has been one of the things I've found difficult also. I like the gReader modeil where I can mark things read/unread/readlater (star) - Rob Williams

“Know what I'd like to see from FriendFeed? A short little bio on a person's profile (yes, like Twitter). Would be nice to get a quick idea of who someone is, where they work, etc. without having to extract that info from the aggregated feeds.”
“I've been reading FriendFeed in Google Reader. Just wrote about two hang-ups. First, imaginary friends apparently aren't in the RSS feed (booo!). Secondly, the way they handle "more" links is inconsistent and annoying. http://tinyurl.com/5tyqha”
You can either click in the icons on the left, or you can use the search. For example: service:blog will show you only blog items. The same for friendfeed, googlereader, twitter, etc. - Alejandro S.
ok cool - thanks - do you use both FF & Twitter? I'm starting to see the the value of FF - Noah Carter
I only have a Twitter account so I can reply to people from here. I don't really use twitter, I'm not that interesting. ;) - Alejandro S.
I wrote recently about how I de-cluttered FriendFeed by removing Twitter feeds (or any other services for that matter) that I read elsewhere. http://tinyurl.com/5s9v5q - Adam Darowski
Adam - Eureka! - Thank you!! Your post explained it perfectly. I'm starting to like this room! - Noah Carter
If a Twitter item shows up in FF you can comment on it here, and checking a box below the comment, you can make it show up in Twitter as well. - Alejandro S.
