I joined Friendfeed this past week, but it's not nearly as elegant or immediate. I DO NOT want Twitter to die/ go away/ wither. Here's what I like about Twitter, and what I don't see the other services doing in the same way: that I can see who is being followed, who is following whom, what I might want to grab/ latch on to/ learn from, who I might want to send to ...all those things. Friendfeed is way too difficult to do that in -- for me at least. Why? Twitter somehow manages to focus the noise. I like that -- because I have <i>great</i> ears and perfect pitch. I can find what I need and want, and Twitter is useful for my noise tolerance.
