Yes, I do.

There is a list of rooms here: http://blogoscoped.com/friendfeed/rooms

Instead of placing a link to all my web accounts eg, Digg, YouTube etc, I can just share my friendfeed account URL. It also incorporates digg comments into my feed. I can now take control of my scattered web actitivies.

It has a lot of potential with just a few tweaks here and there.

its nice webapp where you get to know what serious people are reading or sharing. Like digg but far wider in scope. Comment troll is noise there Most of the times I stumble on good site/article and really really nice pictures from flickr and yes its unlike twitter. Twitter is like IM and you are allowed to communicate through status message. Its hip but how useful?

I can't help but think of Twitter every time someone mentions FriendFeed. I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying this, but FriendFeed now is exactly how Twitter was at the time of the SxSW rage. Everyone who wasn't using it "didn't know what they were missing" and it was going to be "the greatest thing since sliced email" and whatnot... Flash forward just several months, and the fad is over. These things can't sustain themselves, they take too much work, they're huge timesinks, and they have no real & tangible long-term benefits for their users. They may be fun at first, but as soon as the novelty wears off the number of users will also drop - as will he number of hard-core users that can't hear the service's name without wetting their pants in excitement.
