um ... you probably should blur out those names... I'm sure your friends would appreciate that.

I do like the the fact that the feed is in real time but I'm not sure if I like the idea of everyone knowing what I'm doing at all times. Allthough real time is nice I do sense a bit of a privacy issue with some people.

Though the LiveFeed sounds like a good idea, I find it ridiculously painful to use. Perhaps I'm just missing it, but it seems that there's no way to filter out what you don't want to see (Mandy just found an egg on her page!) from what you do want to see (Cindy is moving to Washington! I'll post all the details on my blog tomorrow.)

Multiply.com has a fantastic filter system for their inbox that has certainly spoiled me, but certainly Facebook could do a little better than this.

Yes, I think so. Don't talk about their features here. Facebook is #1.
