If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. If you’re not actively engaged, the news won’t come at you. For example, just the other day I stumbled upon an Apple press release from 2003.

This is no less true for the world of social networks. Networks like Digg, FriendFeed, and Facebook are seeing huge growths in value, but the little guys, the ones actually providing the meat and potatoes for those operations, rarely see a nickel. FriendFeed’s activity for me has ebbs and flows.
