Is FriendFeed close to being twitter + reddit?

FriendFeed can just add "Hot" rankings of submissions from friends, groups, and overall.

Why blog using one service and have social news in a separate service when you can have both in one place?

The fact that many posts to social news services are blog or "self" posts shows that this would be a compelling combination.

Reddit and FriendFeed are very different. Reddit tends to have single conversation about any one topic. FriendFeed has many conversations for a topic where each conversation is scoped by some social circle.

Reddit is a community, just like FriendFeed. That means making FriendFeed like Reddit doesn't replace Reddit. The people would need to move for that to happen.

FriendFeed, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook are all services I use to get interesting things from people I know. The main difference is the social graph: I know different people in each one.

Reddit is a community. FriendFeed is many communities.

Subreddits are pretty distinct AFAIK.
