Top 10 Reasons Everyone should use FriendFeed (and Facebook and Twitter)

Ok, I'll admit it.  Facebook is a great social network.  Twitter is the ultimate realtime sharing service.  But head and shoulders above the rest is FriendFeed.
Don't get me wrong.  You should still use Facebook and Twitter, you should just use them together.  FriendFeed's power lies in it's versatility.  FriendFeed grabs all your networks and puts them in one place.


You post to Facebook: It goes to FriendFeed
You post to Twitter: It goes to FriendFeed
You favorite a YouTube video: It goes to FriendFeed
You add pictures to Flickr: It goes to FriendFeed
etc.

This brings me to my top 10 reasons to use FriendFeed.
  1. You don't have to take any effort after it's set up to share something
  2. Everything is in one place
  3. You can subscribe to users (Think "Follow" on Twitter)
  4. It's realtime, and everything that is commented on keeps moving to the top of your page, instead of continuing down the page.
  5. You can upload and share any file easily.
  6. You can have anything you want posted to Twitter or Facebook instantly
  7. You can set up groups of people that show up in your "Home Feed" (Main Page) and have other lists that you follow separately.
  8. No 140 Character limit (Ahem, Twitter)
  9. FriendFeed search is powerful, you can search specific people or everyone
  10. RSS Feeds (Think your blog, other blogs, or really, almost anything) can be imported easily
There you have it, FriendFeed is the best social network I know, and is ready to be used by everyone!
