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 c…

FriendFeed has surpassed Twitter in that I can change my status in GTalk or place a message in the FriendFeed and it is like writing a tweet.

How much innovation has Twitter done? FF can absorb that functionality so easily...

No

I find it pretty humorous when Scoble gets a hard on every time he's able to bring up FriendFeed. Plus, the site is REALLY ugly. Like, really, really, really ugly.

You can clean up ff to make your eyes not want to explode with userstyles

I do as well. I really think it's the best of the social media programs out there - particularly since twitter stopped working. FF is also evolving frequently, yesterday they added multiple admins to rooms as an example (much like a cosys or admin on irc). If you haven't given it a chance, I recommend you do.

I really shouldn't have to. That doesn't look like it would do much anyway. The site has no structure, the logo is stupid, and the default user icons are ugly.

More importantly though, I'm not into the functionality it offers.
