Hi Sean,

sorry, I didn't point it out correctly. I was not talking about public  
activity streams. I was referring to personal activity streams such as  
activity streams for followees and subscriptions. I thought John already  
have a spec for them. So, it might be prudent to let him answer this, to  
see how it makes sense for the UX to have several bubbles and therefore  
several timestamps in the db.
When there is only one timestamp, just logging in (because the user will  
be redirected to dashboard immediately) will cause all bubbles to  
disappear.
