They say, the first step to recovering from an addiction is admitting you have the addiction, so here goes....
I'm addicted to Friendfeed!
I've been using Friendfeed for just over a month now, and it's grown on me so much, that it's become my homepage (take that iGoogle). Friendfeed is definitely this year's Twitter in terms of buzz, but unlike the one-trick-pony that is twitter (don't get me wrong, I'm addicted to that too), Friendfeed seems to have some major legs.
To me, one of the best tools in Friendfeed is the "recommended" friends list. I'll admit, I had never heard of Robert Scoble until Friendfeed insisted we meet each other. Now, I find myself drowning in social info overload catching up on Scoble, and my other very active friends.
It seems like there is at least one article written daily about Friendfeed, and most of them are very interesting, so I wanted to bring all of the buzz, articles, tools, and everything else into one list - the Ultimate Friendfeed List. I'm positive I'll miss a few items, but I've spent two days scouring the web for things related to friendfeed, so I feel comfortable that this list is the best around - at least until tomorrow. 
Here's a great explanation of FriendFeed from G4

I live in Orlando, and love Google Maps. We were blessed with street view on August 7th, 2007. They continue to expand the area covered, and I was lucky enough to see one of Google's camera-mounted vehicles traversing our streets - so naturally, I followed it..... for nearly 10 miles. I'm still searching the areas I followed the vehicle to see if I can find my car, but no luck yet.
I thought it would be interesting to add a list of all the cities that now have street view, and provide links to them, for your viewing pleasure.

Have you ever seen a movie that, for some reason or another, just sticks with you? Below you'll find what SURFING Magazine considers the Top 25 surf movies of all time. They polled dozens of surfers and filmmakers using a points system to create the list.
25. Second Thoughts (Timmy Turner, 2004)
The dawn of film-yourself filmmaking, as Turner and friends maroon themselves near Indonesian perfection and slowly go mental.
Highlight: Killing the goat, and the epic score at "The Right."
Available: The Surf Network
Movie Trailer
24. What's Really Going On (Mike Reola, 1995)
The yang Momentum's yin. It was raw, it was crude, but WRGO - along with its increasingly scandalous sequel - became the inspiration for everything from Jackass to reality TV to airshows. It also launched the careers of icons Chris Ward and Cory Lopez.
Highlight: Fourteen-year-old Chris Ward looking like a young Curren. The formal introduction of Randall.
Available: Ally Video
23. Big Wednesday (John Milius, 1978)

One of the great things about the search for significance and recognition is that pretty much everything has a name. So, when your buddy gets his first bonus check and decides to upgrade his kitchen (or at least talk about it at The Sizzler), and mentions getting curved sink faucets, you can tell him that he loves bibcocks. Tell him after he pays the bill.

From the Site:
There is no way to accurately put a value on blogs and blogging companies. All are privately-held and, as is true with many content businesses, the value of the company is based on what a buyer will pay. The figures we have put together look at advertising revenue and income from related businesses like conferences. We have not included blogs affiliated with larger media companies. It is too difficult to break-out what their traffic may be and how their income is divided with the parent. Some blogs are fronts for other businesses like O’Reilly Radar Those have been left out. A lot of big blogs do not make the list because they bring in very little commercial revenue. Treehugger probably falls into that category.
We looked at unique visitor and page view measurement services when possible: Alexa, Compete, and Quantcast. These services are often criticized for estimating website traffic too low. We have tried to take that into account. We also looked at data at blogs which gave their own ad rates and page views. Our estimated page CPMs are based on quality of ads and number of ads on each page. We looked at margins based on headcount and our opinion of how may of the people are full-time. Current growth rate based on our measurement sources was also taken into account. A site with traffic doubling year-over-year was give a higher multiple than one with flat traffic. Because not all blogs make money, we looked at multiples of operating income and revenue. These are completely estimates because of the tiny number of blogs which have been sold and lack of information about what the multiples may have been.
Finally, large blogs with big “moats” got higher multiples than smaller ones. Blogs with one founder who contributes a substantial amount of the content got lower multiples than those with several good writers. Blogs which appear to be well-funded or have operated for a long time got better multiples than newer sites or ones where it was not clear that there was a big pool of money behind them.
In short, the task of valuing the largest blogs is impossible. That makes it much more interesting than writing about the P/E at General Electric.
