I recently got a Socialthing! invite from modern journalist and friend Brad King and signed up for FriendFeed at the same time.  I’ve been using these two services side by side to see what I think and get a flavor for what the buzz is about.

The thing is, I’m not sure that I even like mixing up all my networks in one place, even though social aggregators are so hot right now.

There’s something familiar and comfortable about going to each distinct site to find that separate content.  I know what to expect from each different network and they’ve all become like favorite hangout spots for me.  These social communities are not just about contributing and absorbing the content my friends are creating, but about the experience of going to a comfy, cozy place I’ve come to enjoy.
