FriendFeed is really a special place in the narrative of Internet sites with large social networks. It introduced so many new ideas and was the fastest and easiest way to get news and see all the ripples of information passing online. You would see the beginnings of viral content early on FF better than anywhere else, and its commenting and sharing features are unreplicated anywhere else. Was truly an amazing place when I used it heavily for 2 years back in 08. I did notice a heavy influx of Turkish and Italian users in the latter days of pre-acquisition era. Still a pretty good tool, but its best features were the people to follow who would help curate the news sources for you and have discussions, but most of the old English-speaking guard have left unfortunately.
