Re: A "Facebook" Thingie
Well all the nice Ajaxian/JQuery stuff is still very much in development (although functional in some cases), so you don't get a lot of that real-time updating right now, but I see your point. I don't know of a way to mimic this type of "live feed" that you speak of within Tiki currently.
Only thing that occurs to me is the minichat module, but that's not exactly a live feed, more a way for users to chat real-time (and it's a tad impractical when used in a column module... not wide enough).
I certainly understand what you're trying to achieve I just don't think it's possible right now. Having said that Tiki has good all-around features to build a solid community site even if it's not quite up to the "Facebook standard".
