Several bloggers have weighed in on FriendFeed:

Duncan Riley of TechCrunch asks: FriendFeed Is This Years Twitter, But Why? -- complete with a pie chart ... and an answer by Bret Taylor of FriendFeed in the comments.

Louis Gray replied: Duncan Riley Misses the Point of FriendFeed

Mark Evans wonders if Louis was "the little shove that got FriendFeed over the ledge".

Brij Singh has a more plausible theory: Gladwell! Your Tipping point is biased in favor of ex-Googlers

Jeff Nolan of Venture Chronicles remains skeptical: "I think FriendFeed is pretty cool, but I still don't know why it's a must have." OK; there's plenty more, but that's a good start.

Carla Thompson of The Guidewire is a fan, but suggests that people pay attention to Constructive Criticism of the service

Umair Haque of Bubblegeneration tied the site to one of his longstanding themes: Edge Principles, FriendFeed Edition

Bob Warfield of SmoothSpan includes it as part of a larger worry: Web Services Not Web Sites: Monetization Just Got Harder

And, that's mostly from people not on the list!
