I signed up for friendfeed a while ago, but I’m not hooked on it. It does indeed consolidate everything everyone is doing, but yikes, that’s way too much activity for me. Still, I haven’t played with it much to see if you can limit what parts of your friends lifestreams you can block out. If you can use it to set up groups and then just select what you want updates you to see, that could be great.

I’ve been invited to Friend Feed but have not tried it. If anyone does I’d be curious to hear what it’s like. I’ll admit I am overwhelmed by all this social networking. Does anyone really care what I’m doing right now? I guess not I only have 2 followers on twitter

I’m on FriendFeed, but never really use it. The vast majority of the content coming through is from Twitter, which I can follow better elsewhere. I’m not really that interested in a stream of links from other services (Youtube, del.icio.us, etc.) that my network thinks is important, but where the person hasn’t actually told me why. So it doesn’t really add any value for me. Just gives me even more stuff (read: noise) to look at with less context.
