Dozens of "Mini Feed Must Die" facebook groups have sprung up, and blog posts and discussion, at least among my group of friends, has all been decidedly negative. TMI, and too easily accessible. True, none of the information is new, but these features make it TOO easy to get it. At the very least there needs to be options to disable, restrict, and control what get's published and seen on these feeds. The reaction has decidedly NOT been love.

The company obviously would like to use this to encourage more frequent user visits, and to redirect those extra visits to other areas of the site, to increase overall stickyness. Also the feed as shown on the site is more rich than just a stream of content titles, including "types" and images. Feed won’t become RSS available anytime soon.
