FriendFeed's ability to rise above the noise, and capture peoples' attention is fascinating when you try to break down its versus all the other wannabes out there.

IMHO friendfeed is a solid service, and delivers the goods beyond the hype. It's the stickiest site I've tried since Twitter. Louis has done a good job, but it’s not the whole story.

Awesome. To bring the discussion full circle, I think it is fair to give the people at FriendFeed some credit for their ability to launch a service that has immediate use to some, can create enough buzz to deserve the attention of many and still keep the platform simple enough that it can evolve in many different directions. In particular I was attracted to the potential that FriendFeed has to correlate your activities across the social-web and infer the big themes that you're interested in. If you share a post in Google Reader, then twitter about it, share it in Ma.gnolia and digg it, chances are a common URL is used across all of them and tracking it may lead to uncover where there is lots of activity.
