I'm not an addict, but I check in regularly Same reason I use Twitter: Interesting conversation and links. - Mitch Wagner

Also not an addict, but I find it very useful for keeping track of information. I also use it to bookmark and promote websites. A lot of peeps are subscribing to my feed suddenly. - Anita Cohen-Williams

Wouldn't call myself an addict, but it's much easier to have conversations here. You can also send DM's, import your Twitter peeps that are also on FF, reply to tweets, group users. The upgrades they've made in just the past 2 weeks are great. - Sharon McPherson

still just testing waters, but you might want to read this on why to use it: http://is.gd/ummU - WDavidStephenson

Addict. Right here. It's the conversations, community, search and DM functionality. Mostly the people, though, but that's going to depend on who's in your FF community. - Jandy

I'm an addict. Why? Best community on Internet by far. - Robert Scoble

It's not quite addict-level yet, but it's certainly a step ahead of Twitter in terms of aggregating conversation in one place. It's a step, but it's still lacking in the UI department. But we're starting to see the worth of SM. Still nothing that a good filter with Twitter can't accomplish. So it's a companion tool. - Brad_King

I like how it brings all of your communities into one place. You can look at the river of info all at once. - Justin Whittaker

Comments, customization, the community, conversations, searches, aggregation. - JCunwired

I broke up with Twitter in March and went back to FriendFeed too. Still building my account, but I love that I can pull all of my fav sites into one place. The connections seem more meaningful on FF - not as clipped, plus you have way more control over what you want to see from your connections. - Stefanie Hahn

I'm with JC - especially the community. - Brent - Yes I am

I can quit any time. :) - Morton Fox

I am pretty new to friendfeed but I feel more involved in ff than twitter. It would be unfair to compare twitter to ff though. - Ashish

Also, discoverability. I only saw your post because Sharon commented on it. Friend of a Friend increases your exposure (both the exposure of what you post and what you see) exponentially, giving you a much larger engaged network than you have most places. - Jandy

I first read about FriendFeed awhile back -- and registered but never used it. Then Robert Scoble happened onto "my scene" and spoke to my SFSU PR class and introduced FriendFeed to all of us. I'm not an "addict," but I do like it. Allows conversations like this that Twitter does not -- and they [to me] are more "substantive" than Facebook. - Shari Weiss

Nice people finding me cool stuff from all the nooks and crannies of the web. Great supplement to gReader when needing a little downtime. - Toby Graham

i agree... i just joined recently, and i'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to "unclutter" my view. seems like a lot going on, and i only have about 30 subscriptions.. - Robert de Castro

Robert, judicious use of the "hide" function should help unclutter your view. You can hide things from specific services if you find them too noisy. Also, what MVB said - create filters from searches to hone in on things you're really interested in. - Jandy

Yes, I'm definitely an addict...because the people here are great and so is the content that they bring in/create. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

just getting into it after signing up a few months ago. Really getting "social media" burn-out and looking for a way to manage it. It seems that with Twitter, FB, Linked in (and on, and on) is less about "connecting" to each other, but actually creating tons of individal social circles, which are becoming very time constraining to follow. Freindfeed allows me to connect the dots more.... - Tim Robb

thanks.. i'll have to give those a shot! - Robert de Castro

Addict same reason as Alex - The Amber

::raises hand frantically:: It would be easier to find a reason NOT to be addicted than to list all the reasons why I am addicted. - David Cook

I'm not an addict, I can quit any time I want *looks around shiftily* - FFing Enigma

Yeah, right, Tina. It's in your freakin' display name. :p - Jandy

LOL! But it wasn't always, I just got lots of grumps about the first one. - FFing Enigma

@Barbara Ludwig: Welcome back. We expect that you will be moving to the neighborhood this time. F2 is amazing. - David Damore

Addict. The great people, conversations and content discovery. - Mark Krynsky

my plus: non scattered conversation - Toni @ NavinoT

Addict? Afraid so, why, just love being part of a great community... at last I've found one on the net and it's FriendFeed. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

i'm addict since the new beta version that made me participate more and more - stanjourdan
