I love friend feed that is no surprise, I send many people to my friend feed site rather than having them track me in the many other places I hang out. But sometimes it would be great to have a suppression system for some threads that just show up, and seem to linger on for days.
I don’t want to unsubscribe, but I also don’t want to see pictures like this early in the morning. Frankly unless the tangent is forever, then really, I will unsubscribe. I don’t mean this to be offensive to anyone, but really, I don’t care about mocha latte’s (which caused one unsubscription), and frankly I love my eggs scrambled, I don’t want to think about them as an ovulation. I don’t want to think about baby chickens either. This is not what I want to see when I am drinking coffee and thinking about bacon and eggs for breakfast.
**Warning – Don’t click on picture unless you want to be grossed out**
The best median then for this is to provide a suppression system that I can use to drop threads in the friend feed system that I have no particular desire to know anything about. Unfortunately that system does not exist, but really needs to.
We all go off on tangents at times, that is to be expected, but I should be, at the very least, be able to remove the articles I don’t care about on those tangents, while keeping subscribed to the person that I want to remain subscribed to.
Please friend feed make this happen, the sooner the better.

Uh, “Hide” doesn’t do it for you?
I created FriendFeed Savior ( http://friendfeed-savior.bjornstar.com/ ) for people who want control over hiding things. It simply notifies you that there’s a something you didn’t want to see in the post and gives you a link to unhide it if you really want to see what it is. It doesn’t use “magic” like FriendFeed’s current hide button. You add words to the list and it hides posts with those words, simple and effective.
Bjorn, wrapping it up now to see how it works, great thanks!
