The great thing about Friendfeed is that you can subscribe to someone and even fine-tune what you get. For instance, if you wanted to filter out Twitter messages, you could do that for either 1) everyone, or 2) just a particular person. Likewise you can choose what services you want to see from a particular person. Plus it’s a great place for discussions to happen about individual posts.
