I don't think your method is very different from the one Ashley and I
were talking about. I created an "actions" table and tied it to the user
table. The thing is, I also tied it to my recipes, favorites, and
comments table. That way, whenever anyone adds a recipe, makes a recipe
a favorite, or adds a comment, an entry is added to the "actions" table.
That entry includes the id of the user so I know who did it.
When I list my feed, the view code is (truncated example):
<% @friendfeed.each do |friendfeed| %>
<%= link_to friendfeed.user.login, :controller => "users", :action =>
"show", :id => friendfeed.user.id %> favorited <%= link_to
friendfeed.recipe.title, :controller => "recipes", :action => "show",
:id => friendfeed.recipe.id %>
<% end %>
