Well actually I should clarify one thing. NoiseRiver first goal is to highlight and rank content, the filtering (hiding) side of it is just an option. It computes the level of interest depending on your "interests" and neighborhood. Thus even if you "don't like" someone that much and if he/she provides good content you like, then the total rank of the entry will change on these two parameters. Of course, if you simply want to filter on keywords, you can specify it in the NoiseRiver's interests settings. Also, as you said, If you want to block someone, just do it in the main FriendFeed website... at least until they provide the "block" feature in their API :) Thank you for the mention!
