When I'm designing an interface I try to put the stuff people do/use most within a single click.

Would be really nice if they'd use that useless "Feed Sidebar" real estate as a user-configurable links area, so that (for instance) I could put the search bar there, and the "My Posts" page link, and links to the forums I use most like "Editorials and Other Articles" and "Videos and Multimedia"... and maybe one or two of the ones I subscribe to. Not a "feed" which I always find deeply annoying and distracting, just links, which give me the control to find what I want with a single click.

wistfully,
Bright
