I think friendfeed is eventually going to eat twitter's marketshare. It doesn't buy me all that much though, because I'm intentionally schizophrenic in the way I use the social web, trying (and, AFAICT, mostly succeeding) in segregating my personal, professional, and multiple web-social personae.

There's also the extreme danger of a) irritating the hell out of people who get five copies of everything you post, and b) feedback loops if you've used or are using multiple lifestream sites.

I get "confused, frustrated" with a lot of these newfangled 2.0 sites too. :)

I maybe have one or two real-world friends that are sufficiently geeky to appreciate anything beyond basic email and perhaps, just perhaps, standard IM. Asking them to join Friendfeed, Twitter or any other new service doesn't fly. They get confused, frustrated then give up.
