Great thought, Thom. The progression of all these vectrors to get in touch with you is BECAUSE of the feeds though and, since I am on a social network regression binge, feeds are, in fact, becoming much more important again... in fact, that's how I read this post first :)

I suppose you can't really say RSS feeds aren't important because they're what enables all of this Friendfeed stuff to happen.
But at any rate, to answer your questions, I'm still using individual RSS feeds. I don't use Friendfeed and I'm not sure I really see the need for it - I like everything (blogs, twitter, Flickr) to stay in their own separate boxes myself. And I'm not that concerned if I only read one aspect of someone's output and miss out on all of the others.
