an occasional view... at best... but if it wasnt there I bet it would be missed....

Do not have friends on glocals and this is on purpose as I hate updates. On all my activities posted i ask people to reply to my personal email as I can organise better since my activities are not restrcited to glocals members. Apologies as this is a bit of a non-comment and am probably in a minority.  Made the mistake of allowing friends on facebook and I avoid it âs much as possible.

Maybe I am old fashioned but i do not like a comoputer telling mewhat my friends are doing or saying.  I would prefer they told me 

I kind of like it as now I know where Charlie is and where I definitely won't be...

I do like the info on what is organised by people you know, I care less about their posts, doesn't bother me either.

Pretty similar to ThomasNL, I like to know what activities my friends post or attend, but I don't need to know when they left a comment in the forum.

I actually like it. It tells me at a glance what i want to know about my friends

The very reason why I have no friends on glocals. I occaionally like a bit of privacy and it is difficult to hide in Geneva

Thumbs-up on the updates.  I like them.

Thumbs up to updates *and* privacy. Perhaps we could have a setting to optionally allow/disallow one's postings from being displayed in other people's updates, or maybe further customize this concept.

And maybe a discussion, as to what the default setting should be.

I love the updates from friends ! I like to know what they're doing (they're friends after all) and there is the occasionnal good surprise, like Translator popping up again after a long stay in the desert. I wouldn't have noticed it without that feature

thanks to this feature I've seen u need to know whether updates from friends are useful or not...thanks to bustan's reply.so...

Glocals updates are a nice thing.  I say keep them where they are.
