Just like Thwirl and Snitter totally changed the way I interact with Twitter and drove up my usage as a result, Alert Thingy is doing that for FriendFeed.
As Dennis says, who btw I ripped off the title for this post from, the result is that I am evolving in my behaviors with social networks at a fast cycle rate. The result is that I haven't logged into Facebook in months and find little reason to resume.
With regard to comments escaping the blogosphere, I'm finding myself engaging in more discussion threads as FriendFeed comments attached to items, something I find both very convenient and very concerning.
