Here is an exciting feature that would really spice things up. We are using the flag module for a lot of light weight (no approval required) favorite users type functions by just flagging a user's bio module as a favorite node. Is there a way to create an activity feed that would allow you to see the activity of the authors whose bio nodes you flagged? Kinda like the buddylist acitivity function where you could see all of your buddy's activities, but in this case, you would be able to see the general activities (node creation, comment, etc) of the all the authors of the nodes that you flagged? This would be supremely awesome to see!

Short answer - currently, no.

Long answer - we do have flag integration, but this shows you what people have flagged, not quite what you're looking for. You're essentially wanting to use flag as the determining factor of what to show a user. Currently, we utilize other friendship-type modules (user_relationships, buddylist) to determine who sees what by having these provide blocks.

You could possibly modify the /contrib/flagactivity/flagactivity.module to provide such a block.

With 6.x-2.x, such a feature will be much easier to implement through a view relationship or through a hook_activity_grants() and hook_activity_access_grants() which will be able to make such a determination. @see DEVELOPER.txt for 6.x-2.x's hook implementations.
