Umair, who is so right so often, said:

The real point is: Friendfeed is a next-gen, open version of Facebook’s social feed.

That’s how I think of Twitter too. But the problem with open is that it’s messy. It’s not neat and clean like Facebook. It requires work. And so I’ll be doing more work now. But most importantly, open also means a platform for innovation. FriendFeed was a great innovation. And so someone is going to innovate again on top of FriendFeed to bring some focus to all the conversations we are having.

And that’s a good thing.

The big nod that FriendFeed gets is: <blockquote>Social media will continue to escalate for the foreseeable future, but it will become increasingly unlikely that you'll have accounts for every service out there. With FriendFeed, you don't have to, because of its network of networks, you can just coast along with the few accounts you're comfortable with, but still have access to friendly content across the board. This is the true innovation and it's the reason users will adopt FriendFeed over an RSS wrapper like SocialThing!</blockquote> I think I'm going to give FriendFeed another look. I just wish there was another way to digest it.

I think the comments and the likes are what make FF interesting, fun, and addictive. I find the signal:noise ratio to be pretty high, even though I'm subscribed to 150 people and approximately 900 people are subscribed to me.
