I tried doing a 1-9 system for bloglines... it works for a while.

You know the problem, you can subscribe to someone who posts a REALLY good post in every 10 - perhaps with the other 9 being random stuff which gets in the way.

It IS very hard IMHO and perhaps even more in FF due to the dynamics of a lifestream/microblog.

I love ALL my friends in twitter, ff, bloglines, but i honestly don&#39t always have time to check how their cat is doing after the operation and getting through that level of information - even when speedreading - can be VERY hard.

I eventually found that my key RSS feeds failed to update and the FF widget was too limited so I defected to Lifestream.fm which supports more services and has a better widget.

Justin, Thank you. I&#39m still wrangling with what I will use the home feed for. If I do use the home feed, I want a clean slate. This is another reason why I&#39m doing away with it for the time being. It&#39s a time consuming process building these blocks, but so far proving to be effective.

Mike, yet another great post and thanks for sharing your organization method. I have started to dip into organizing my FreiendFeed subscriptions into list as well, but find that keeping EVERYONE on the home page is still useful for the "flood." Also, with keeping everyone in the home fed, I don&#39t need to organize every last person in a list.

Tagging would be great and I&#39m guessing/hoping the Friendfeed team is working on it.

Rebkin, thank you. Lists will defiantly give you a whole new view of FriendFeed. Spend a few mins of your day sorting through your subscriptions and organizing them. It&#39s definitely worth the reward.

Mark,with lists now I can check up on those people with a little more frequency. I check the lower tier lists about 3-5 times a day. My interaction is a lot lower, compared to page A. It basically equates to controlled fake following as you mentioned. List creation is forcing me/us to almost look at every members feed with a magnifying glass for proper categorization. This gives fake following a whole new dimension.

This is extremely cool. I was meaning to ask how you did with the lists. As I said in an earlier comment; I feel that I&#39m missing out on a lot of good stuff by NOT having them sorted up...and, mind you, I have very few compared to you. Thank you for sharing this... I&#39ll take time out and do this very soon and I think I&#39ll get greatly rewarded..

Mike, with your separate A, B, and C pages, how often do you find yourself checking out the lower tiers? I have a somewhat similar setup, but I find myself essentially fake following the people outside the top tier.
