@Nils I actually like the way that it summarises activity to a particular individual (say, if one of my friends has posted a lot of tweets in quick succession), but I think that the more services you add to friendfeed, the harder it would be to take it down to the granular level.

That said, if you COULD separate out conversations on the same networks (i.e. all the people who used twitter could converse on a twitter tab for example), then that would add significant value.

@Corvida - I know exactly what you mean, it is only an option but it is one of those really cool tools that I just can't leave alone!!

It is much like Facebook's "Friend's in Common" feature but there seems to be no end in sight!

It can get a bit much yes, but as Corvida says, you don't need to track everything. I would like for Friendfeed to become a bit more granular. For now, I have it open quite a lot and I check in now and again to see what's happening "above the fold", so to speak. But I'm not yet actively using it though, as I do Twitter.

Not necessarily. The option is there just incase you have the time and WANT to connect with other people sharing similar interests. You're not obligated to use it though.
