Hi Dave
I don't see the need to tie the 'feed_entry' to any other models
except for the user. All that's being passed to the table are strings,
and you only want to see the messages associated with a certain user's
network (i.e. other users)... Or maybe you want to see messages
associated with recipes.
It really just depends on what you want to do... it's all possible
(that's the beauty of it!!!)
cheers for the thoughts
