FriendFeed, aka I’m a sellout.

I’m still not in favor of any service that takes a full post feed and turns it into a headline one, but I wanted to conduct my own little experiment with what the service looks like from a user perspective, because obviously it’s become a huge hit with many in the blogging world. Part of me just wants to see if there’s something that I’m missing when I look at it. So, I created a feed and subscribed to a couple of folks over there. Maybe using it for a few days will change my mind. I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.

Anyway, if your one of the Friendfeed users, here’s my feed:

Also, while I have your attention, tell me why you use it. What’s the big attraction? so far, I’d have to say I don’t really see it.
