There is this built into xenforo,
http://xenforo.com/community/recent-activity/
This gives all the recent activity of the site.

the danger of that is that it could turn recent activity into a chat room.The one thing I would like to change, and when the stable release comes out, I may hire someone to build it for me would be to have the ability to update your status on the top of that page similar to facebook. I think the status updates would get used more if it where there vs under the profile or the username drop down in the navigation menu.
But, this a small thing..

in addition to 'recent activity' there is also 'your news feed' which functions identically, but only shows updates from those you follow. it greatly increases the signal to noise ratio.Is there a page of all recent status updates of either my friends, or the whole site?
The comments/status posts are very well thought out, BTW.

i was running the latest 'show status updates' sideblock with the status input implemented (for about a day) and thats exactly what happened. people used it like a shoutblock.

If you are logged in you can post your status at the top.that ipb page works because people cannot enter their status update directly into a textfield on the page (at least not that i can see), instead they can only comment on exsting statuses. where that page would fall apart would be if people were allowed to reply to existing statuses by posting their own status update directly from the page. it then turns into a chatroom. i had the same problem with xenforo profiles until i actually removed the ability to post status updates from the profile (see sig), forcing them to 'comment' their replies.
Who said anything about competing with Facebook?The best way to compete with Facebook is to do something original, not clone them
people said the same thing about myspace and yahooI don't think you can compete with Facebook considering their userbase is considerably higher than XenForo's.
