No offense to Friendfeed fans, but I'm starting to dislike using the the app. I prefer accessing information or networks at their source or via IM, not via 3rd party connections like FF. Checking FF feeds less and less these days.

Just realized I can comment on here - you can tell how much I have used Jaiko :-) I use FF to give me an overview via its feed but tend to prefer using the source applications or 3rd party apps that allow me more interaction with contacts such as Digsby

Yeah me too. Lots of people are raving about the centralisation of the service, and I do see their points there. But for us old skoolers there's just no substitute from point of origin :)

I was looking at Friendfeed the other day and thought better of it, I recently closed down facebook, don't visit myspace any longer and will eventually make a decision regarding my 'twitter' like services and choose one - I looked at plurk and really didn't like it.

Oh yeah a point, I forgot to add a point to the last comment - I was about to say before I hit submit that I'm streamlining these non blog services anyway so don't need to have a central point of call for them.

Yeah Plurk is really uninspiring to me. I don't quite understand what all the fuss is about - IM updates don't work and the interface is hideously not userfriendly.
I'm with you on microblogging services (Jaiku, Twitter, Plurk, etc). I want to decide on one and stick with it. Problem is when others won't follow. Eg if everyone decides to stick with Twitter despite it's downtime dramas we're kind of stuck. I'm still now sure what to do about that. You point about muli-posting services that send a single update to multiple services is interesting. Haven't really thought about that fully yet.
As far as Facebook goes, yeah I deactivated my account 2 years or more ago after hearing about how shocking their moderation procedures, usage policies, and support quality are. It was a protest at the time and I've never regretted it - especially after hearing of the Beacon debacle from the outside. What a mess!
MySpace I keep active only because I've got friends there who aren't anywhere else on the web. Most of the time I avoid it like the plague but I will occasionally give in and visit the site only to run away regretting it quickly thereafter LOL
I wonder what the character limit is on replies to updates? I've written an entire blog post here!

Woah sorry about the IM essay. I was expecting Jaiku to truncate it somewhere rather than sending the whole thing through.

Recording State of Origin on two different machines. PC and DVD player. If it turns out well I'll burn you a DVD and send it out :)
