I’ve been thinking about this as well this week — whether I want to continue to participate in Twitter, FriendFeed *and* Facebook, or if I can select one to be rid of. There seems to be a bit too much for me to keep up with, although your “older button” rule may help with that. I like the immediacy of Twitter (for things like the plane in the Hudson and the TVA coal ash spill), and the grouped conversations in FriendFeed. I like Facebook for some of the reasons you mention, and see it more as a tool for keeping up with people, whereas FriendFeed is maybe more for keeping up with things and ideas. I actually find FriendFeed less hectic than Twitter, because of the grouping of replies. Now, if these services would just be more redundant so I could feel better about ditching one!

Ed, I love your meeting idea and could really use that myself, especially at conference. It sounds like the Palm Pre might be the first tentative steps towards that since clicking on a name in email displays the standard contact info plus Facebook status, Gtalk update, etc. I’m pretty sure there’s a Pre in my future, and maybe they’ll have thought through how to make something like FriendFeed more manageable in a mobile environment. I’m still floored that FF is completely ignoring the mobile market. As someone from Facebook said during the Pre launch at the CES today, mobile users are the most active and engaged.
