I have succumbed to Twitter. Join my, er, exclusive band of followers.

“In an attention economy information overload is a serious concern. Services that can aggregate activity streams — things that command a lot of our attention — and make sorting through all that information easier are welcome. “

“It’s a pretty good bet that if you’re not making a Twitter or Facebook application, you’re probably making a lifestreaming application.”

“Inot only is there a separate discussion on FriendFeed, there may be hundreds of separate discussions within FriendFeed on the very same topic or link (because different people are sharing the link, and different people have different friend groups).”

“Now the discussion around a post has completely fragmented: people are saying stuff about your content on Twitter, Delicious, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Facebook… pretty much anywhere except for the post where you originally wrote it.”

“FriendFeed is more like another social network rather than a simple aggregator. That seems to be a deal breaker for many people — although others see it as a benefit.”
