    And I commend you, LG, for taking the time to organize your subscriptions. I hope everyone sees how much time and effort you put into making everyone on FriendFeed feel equal - regardless of who they are, who they know, and where they're from. You rock!

    Great way to organize.

    So... pretty much like how I've been using feed readers for the past 3 or 4 years?

    looks like a great system. I have been working on organizing my lists as well.

    Great "how-to" post! Honestly I was trying to figure out how to use these shiny new tools. So throw everyone on the back page and sort accordingly...I like it. An interesting side effect to this is that now you probably spend even more time on FF because it's easier to digest at your own pace, mission accomplished guys *tips hat*...

    How many cupcakes will it take to bribe you to organize my feed for me?

    What I want to know is how many cupcakes will it take for me to get into Louis's A-list list.
  • Louis Gray · 1 year ago
    The "Front Page" is my "personal A-List", and I believe you are already there. The traditional "A-List" is for those people who are very well known, have huge followings and engagement. Taking them out of the main feed makes it more likely for others producing great content, as you are, to be visible.

    But if you want to send cupcakes, I'll send you my home address.

    I can't organize your feed without your FriendFeed user name and password... so go ahead and post it in the comments right here for everyone to see, and all will be well.

    Very good information. Thanks for sharing your methods to organize the madness, Louis.

    Yeah, prioritization is good. People may not be happy to show up on the back page - but it's about your sanity and not their ego!

    I can't figure out how to remove people from my home feed and still have them in my other lists. The home feed doesn't have the buttons at the top to add/remove friends. Is there something I'm missing?
  • Louis Gray · 1 year ago
    John, if you do a mouse-over on any name in FriendFeed (on the beta)
    you can see they are part of your "home feed". Click "Add/Edit" and
    you get a small pop-up that shows the lists they are in, with
    checkboxes. Uncheck "home feed" and check the list where you want
    them, and you're all set.
  • John M. · 1 year ago
    Thanks for your help. I ended up doing a search in the FriendFeed Beta room and found the info I needed. I discovered that you can do the mouseover thing, or you can also click on your friend's name and you get the Add/Edit link there too. You just can't do it from the Home Feed. You have to do it to each friend individually.

    Thanks for the explanation Louis, it is something I glossed over yet it makes FriendFeed usable for us normal folk.
  • Ari Herzog · 1 year ago
    Useful stuff, thanks for posting what you do and think of FriendFeed's lists. Now I need to absorb it.
  • k1v1n · 1 year ago
    This was a very helpful post. I followed your lead and have set my lists up accordingly. It would be nice if the Home list was treated like every other list. Would be nice to me able to remove people in bulk.
