FriendFeed comments and likes taking up redundant space when no content yet available.

I love the layout of the latest rev of Twhirl, but for FriendFeed I see lots of redundant "no comments yet" and "no likes yet" lines repeating down the window and taking up space to reduce the number of events I can scan in one pageful.

I'd like it better if these were compacted up as side-by-side @ and [heart] buttons in the avatar / name / time bar for each event. Then, only show the in-context replies and likes when there's something to show.
