I just read “Five Reasons FriendFeed Is Better Than Digg“. It has, obviously, five reasons why the author thinks FriendFeed is better than Digg. The first reason is that “FriendFeed is Personal”. I’ve quoted the text below, with my own emphasis added.

FriendFeed delivers interesting things from people I know or trust, whereas Digg delivers seemingly random value that doesn’t always fit my likes. Even getting down to subsections on Digg doesn’t satisfy me any more. It use to have a terrible tech bias to anything to do with Linux, but today the tech news doesn’t have much depth at all

Now, as you can see, I find the first sentence in the quote interesting. While FriendFeed makes it very easy to find what your friends think is interesting, there is nothing stopping you from clicking on the “everyone” tab (here are some users saying whether or not they use the tab, if you’re interested).

And what about Digg? Is it nearly impossible to see what your friends find interesting on Digg? You can totally see what your friends are doing on Digg.

Conclusion? Both FriendFeed and Digg enable you to see interesting stuff from your friends and other people, though FriendFeed makes it slightly easier to see your friends’ stuff and Digg makes it easier for you to connect with what’s going on in the world.

UPDATE: It seems that I originally published this blog post without a title. Sorry for that.
