Maybe it's just my perception, but I think the Google and former Google employees I'm following on FriendFeed use the service much, much more than that of Twitter and Facebook employees (with the exception of FriendFeed employees, which themselves are mostly former Google employees). Not sure what that means though. I'd love to see some stats.

Meaning that Twitter and Facebook employees don't use Friendfeed? I would assume they use their own services. - Louis Gray

My curiosity is in the fact that FriendFeed isn't owned by Google - do Google employees just have more time on their hands? - Jesse Stay

Or, on the side of Google, are Google employees just more likely to try out more than their own services? - Jesse Stay

No. When FriendFeed started, it was first used by friends and family of the team, and many of the friends who were likely to try it were current or former Googlers. Thus, much of the discussion was about Google and it was a natural fit. I remember that the open discussions around Google at the end of 2007 when it was much more mysterious to me was one of the major drawing points for me to the service. - Louis Gray

Louis, ah, interesting - that would make sense. - Jesse Stay
