Why Friendfeed won’t and can’t kill Twitter

Some minutes ago, I commented on a Friendfeed enty. I wanted to share the comment, because it can explain my opinion about the Friendfeed vs. Twitter discussion:

FF can’t kill Twitter. We are talking about different things for different audiences (FF = sharing content published somewhere else / Twitter = getting fast information, personal experience/opinion without clicking on a link). That’s a simplified example ;). And by the way it’s also a matter of the users. There are much more of my friends using Twitter (300) than using (not just having an account) Friendfeed (10). That’s what really matters for me.

But I agree with you. FF needs some new features that make it easier for us to handle with FF. But it will still be something different. At least in my opinion. Features I want: Liking comments, Permalink for comments, SMS/Mobile, …
Probably the only reason for not using Jaiku/Pownce: not enough friends of mine there using it regularly
