Just wanted to start a discussion... about the way social features are handled in VB 4. If I have this wrong, and there are ways to configure the site to do what I'm wanting it to do, then please let me know.. otherwise, wondering if anyone else finds the social networking features lacking.

My biggest problem is... I can't seem to find a way to offer an "activity feed" to users. Clicking on a profile takes you to the equivalent of a wall page, which is not very useful... these things are hardly updated.

What I want is for users to be able to get a Facebook style "News Feed" where it shows status updates and activities of friends.

It seems that when v4 was launched, it was heading in the direction if cloning basic FB functionality, but that doesn't seem to have progressed since then.

Anyone else feeling the need for the FB news feed functionality, or am I unique on this one?
