There is a simple 2-steps solution for that ;-) 1) Make sure the notification service sends messages of the type 'normal' and not 'chat'. The latter is only meant for chat. The first is more like email. 2) Switch to Coccinella and leave the new message dialog open the whole day (minimized in the task bar). Only process all these messages once a day (or a few times). More urgent chat messages will still be visible and there will be no mix of urgent chat messages and 1000 feed notifications. A plus is that Coccinella has no annoying "blinking xmas tree" feature... > But anyway, enough ranting.

Yes, "User Blogging" is definitely some XEP that is missing IMO. Currently people abuse (IMO) presence state messages for sharing interesting URLs, things they are doing, and so forth. IMO this presence state message should only be used to tell e.g. you'll be back in 5 minutes. User Blogging feature wish: * Twitter style blogging * support for tags (so your contacts can opt to subscribe to only a specific tag) * clients will be able to provide a separate interface with history * SoC 2009 project for integration with Wordpress B-) > The difference with the other PEP stuff coming > into clients today is that, for the blog case, you probably want to be > able to turn off auto-subscription for a certain number of contacts > (as opposed to e.g. tune information, where it doesn't really matter, > as it doesn't interrupt you). I think clients just should provide an interface that does not annoys the user with every blog update. E.g., it can display a simple *non-blinking* icon next to the contact in the roster to indicate that there are new blog posts of this contact. <snip> -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze.
