		<title>Twitter just made FriendFeed more valuable for me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a rather strange and silent move, the Twitter honchos decided to tell you how to use Twitter. They&#8217;ve turned off the ability for you to see @replies to people you&#8217;re not following. So say for instance @shayera says something and I reply to her. Well, my handful of followers also following @shayera will see [...]]]></description>

Last summer when I was first introduced to Hulu, I thought it was a nice service. There were a few movies on there that my kids enjoyed, some clips of TV shows I had once found amusing, but for my taste it was definitely lacking.
