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
