I think that someone is spending a lot of time on facebook ;-) And I also
think it's a good idea and a great way to address the issue at hand.

If we gonna have in the future something like this
where we can put also the status in, then in
order to see the status
message
you could just hover the name of the user and you
are not gonna have to
click on it.
For me, expanding statuses and application and not pages is
inconsistency.
Also, we can have in the filters (don't know where) an "Expand /
Collapse
All" option for people that have a certain
preference in displaying.
IMHO, I think that the information and functionality of the "Changed
status" toggle adds unneeded complexity: when the user sees the avatar
icon in the activity stream she already knows that a "status has
changed", this information is already conveyed by the fact that an entry
of that type exists! Moreover a status update will contain, il 90% of
the cases, a single message so 90% of the "Changed status" expansion
will contain only 1 item.
For documents is different because changes can be a lot so the "4
changes by 3 contributors" conveys additional information.
What could be done to solve the "consistency" issue is to always display
the first item and hide the others in the collapsed list.
* So for single status updates you will have the status update directly
displayed.
* For multiple status updates by the same user you will have the last
one + a "3 more..." hidden behind the toggle
* For document updates with a single change you will just have the
change that has been done
* For documents with multiple changes you will have just the latest
change + "X more changes by Y contributors" toggle with the rest.
This would also solve the problem of having an activity stream filtered
only by "status updates" where the user has to click every time on
"expand all" in order to actually have the information which should be
available (and expected) by default.
WDYT?
-Fabio
