Yes. This. I "watch" a lot of projects in lieu of favoriting them and because of how "watching" pollutes the timeline, I find the timeline totally useless.

In theory I could just bookmark them using my normal system with a tag of "github" or something but the "Watched Repositories" widget is too useful to miss.

I'm building a browser extension that should solve this issue, basically a delicious for github.

It's not up for public use yet, as i've yet to replicate the watched repos widget inline with bookmarks but next weekend I'll have a crack at it.

I agree. The timeline is useless. But not that watch button, because i do have all projects i find interesting in one place. Thats absolutely ok for me and works fine.
