Realtime feed returning friend's posts intermittingly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am calling http://chan.friendfeed.com/api/updates/home every few
minutes with authentication and saving and using the token each time.

2. I am calling from ruby, I have attached the file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect  the feed to only return entries from the authenticated user (in
this case mrjjwright).  I am instead and in error seeing entries every once
in a while from my friend's feeds.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac.

The realtime API only returns updates from the last couple of minutes, so it's 
possible that you are not calling it 
frequently enough.   Check the "incomplete" flag in the response.  If this flag 
is true, then you are not calling the 
API frequently enough.

Yeah I was aware of the incomplete flag and I will check that.  But how would 
not
calling the feed frequently enough result in getting the wrong messages in your 
home
feed?

I am sorry, I misread your description.  The realtime feed for 
/api/updates/home returns the same entries as the 
page at http://friendfeed.com and the corresponding realtime page at 
http://friendfeed.com/realtime. 

If you want to see your items only, then create a friend list containing your 
account only.  The realtime feed for 
the the friend list will show your updates only.
