Interface good, colors bad.

I'm not sure Friendfeed will ever reach the masses the way Twitter has (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendfeed.com+twitter.com/?metric=uv).

Extremely interesting, clever article on the mischaracterization and underestimation of the Facebook's role in contemporary society, despite its seeming triviality by Greg Atwan, writer of "The Facebook Book" and "Privilege":

Excerpt:
"Facebook is the largest photo-sharing site on the Internet?easily beating out dedicated snapshot studio Flickr. This is no college-quad feat: Photos are only increasingly critical in spreading information, and Facebook?s photojournalistic capacity is still untapped. (It?s not unreasonable to imagine that this Depression?s Agee and Evans will have nothing but a Facebook album.)

More importantly, it?s the youth?s medium of choice for sending messages (it?s more popular than email), planning events, and organizing politically. Other sites (Friendster) have made good in the short-term by offering the sort of space Grigoriadis describes for nugatory gossip and amorous overtures, but Facebook has won the battle by getting its users addicted to its infrastructure."

Can't find the option to see updates from all friends (/username/friends), but few steps only to set a new filter. It's still there though.

Would take some time, but I think I'll get used to it. The thing I missed the most is the collapsed entry for multiple updates from same person in same service. That really saved place for Twitter updates.

Agreed with Andrew though, the colour is not that good, especially the background. Expected lighter tone.
