That's quite a clever way of putting your experiences across. Information overload is definitely a problem regardless of the model, both FriendFeed and SocialThing will have to figure out how to reduce the noise like Facebook does in their News Feed. Mike: It's true that FriendFeed aggregates friends' activities but it only aggregates activities of the friends that you 'follow' on FriendFeed. e.g. If you add your Twitter service, it doesn't automatically aggregate tweets from your Twitter friends.
