I am only here reading this blog article because I saw the link on my FriendFeed! It's a great tool to use to both find useful and interesting links, and also to have another channel to publicize one's own. If you get a reputation for posting interesting articles I think it will help get more traffic to your blog, and not less.

Steven - One of your best yet. I noticed Kevin Rose earlier today on Twitter and Friendfeed. On Twitter: "With Twitter, FF, etc.,etc. Do I really need a blog?" (paraphrasing - I didn't capture it). He had earlier responded to criticism of Digg within minutes of the comment posting to Friendfeed. I reacted to that post immediately and 'Twittered' back to Kevin something to the effect "The conversation (about needing a blog) has been tossed around on FF a few times, and the answer for many is probably ... no. (in 140 characters :) The landscape is changing , and in my view, it is VERY positive. Good things are being recognized and bad things are being exposed ... without any commercial interruption.

Did you today's Newsweek story about microblogging? Similar to Eyebee, I saw this link off a tweet someone just sent me.

One last reach on this one. I have to wonder how many people are actually reading the Newsweek Online Only edition. What I do find interesting is them spotlighting a new young Edelman employee with no mention of Steve Rubel.

Awesome points Steven, especially this one: "For us this means less competition and less noise for us to fight our way through in order to get through to the readers."

Twitter and FriendFeed create discussions, not steal them.
