I can understand your hesitation, sometimes it can seem a little cliquey. Personally, I just comment where I think it's appropriate and I can add value or awareness to the conversation.

Try letting go and see how it feels :)

I hear you on the issue of exacerbating the inherent problems of the echo chamber by narrowly defining who can access your posts on FriendFeed. I believe groupthink is a more acute threat than social faux pas yet I still find myself biting my tongue and not commenting on certain posts. I hate to sound needy but group acceptance plays some role in this race toward transparency. I guess my admitted reluctance leaves me a bit more opaque.

I echo your FF comment, "In my opinion, the echo chamber is waht you make it."

Well, some of the conversations are worth having, like who owns comments, conversation fragmentation, etc. Others like "OMG the iPhone 3G is coming", there just is not too much to add. As you say, the whole blogging and echo chamber thing is what you make it.
