I’m not using FriendFeed, and maybe I should. I have a limited use of Twitter, but find it very useful to follow friends and industry news. The reason I don’t use twitter more is the limited conversation visibility and transparency: I have been frustrated by the lack of visibility I have on a thread of messages (not me to many, but external to me, so as a spectator). Of course there are third party tools that allow this, maybe like Summize but it requires an extra effort to get to them - an we all know web apps are great for limiting efforts.
On the other side, FaceBook mini feed has been there for ages. Unfortunately, it is limited to Facebook’s news, not like FriendFeed. And the status updates are great and usually funny to follow. But my frustration was that it was a one way communication system. How many times have I wanted to comment on items in that mini feed ??
So the news this morning that Facebook is introducing mini-feed comments and comments tracking is great news ! But Twitter might be in a difficult situation now, and the two features are going to be stepping on each other’s toes.
