That email stuff is a blatant rip-off of Posterous.

The more I read about the new Friendfeed beta, the more it feels like a Frankentwitter, collecting various features from other services and injecting them into the Twitter UI. I wonder what they'll end up with. I hope it's better than Twitter.

It's natural for it to borrow ideas for features. After all, it started as an open version of Facebook's activity stream.

Post-by-mail is a very old feature. Blogger.com has had it for a very long time, for example (as have other blogging services).

Also, FriendFeed has had post-by-mail (originally called mail2ff) since before Posterous even launched.
