Very interesting.

Activities seems to be going for replacing the history tab - am I seeing this 
right? I was expecting activity streams an expansion of the 'your friends' feed 
on my user profile. I. e. while on the history tab I get a complete changeset 
listing, on Activities I see summaries of people or places I'm interested in 
(how the latter would work is not fleshed out at all atm in OSM). I'd like to 
understand better where you see activity streams falling between functionality 
we now accomodate under the History tab and the friend feed.
