FriendFeed Wish List

June 13th, 2008 | Tags:

Dear FriendFeed,

Please add the following features:

  1. I love how when I hover over someone’s name I can subscribe to them and see if they’re subscribed to me.  Please also let us add a few sentences to introduce ourselves.
  2. When I hover over someone I’m not subscribed to I’d love to have a link to a “Similarity Matrix” - something showing how often we’ve “Liked” the same threads and how often we’ve commented on the same thread.
  3. When I look at the list of people subscribed to me, PLEASE make it obvious for me to tell which ones I’m not subscribed to.
  4. Similarly, please give me the option to always subscribe to someone whenever they subscribe to me.  I do this anyway.  I figure that if they later turn out to be spammers I’ll be able to easily block them.
  5. I don’t like the idea of giving out kudos, brownie points or positive karma to FF users, but I do think I’d like users to be able to mark someone as an obnoxious troll.  We could each set a threshold for trolliness and once a user hits the threshold we wouldn’t see any content from them.  Can this be done without allowing a huge amount of griefing?  Maybe if the threshold only looks at your friends’ negative karma points or whatever.  Currently though, this isn’t a big problem.
  6. Let us set up new FF views - how about a tab that only shows threads with X or more Likes and X or more Comments?  I don’t want to lose the ability to see everything, but I’d like a way to occasionally dial down the noise.

That’s enough for now.

Thanks guys!

Tad
