Finding New Things with FriendFeed

I find myself becoming addicted to FriendFeed.  I started using the service about a day or two before it exploded everywhere.  I find that I"m actually discovering a number of things just by leaving it up all day.  Not only do I love finding out what's going on with the people I'm following, but their "everyone" public feed is great too.  Every now and then I'll click over there and just watch the stream of stuff coming from a ton of people, and I don't even know who they are.  Today I thought I'd see what searching for Dallas (where I am) in the public stream would get me.  I actually discovered that there's a WordCamp event this weekend here as a result.  I have no idea how I missed hearing about this before.  I'm thinking that since it is a WordPress thing, and I don't use WP, that I just passed over it if I saw it somewhere.  However, I'm now trying to figure out my weekend schedule and try to go.  It would be great to go and network with people, and try to learn more about WordPress.  And to think that I never would have seen this had it not been for FriendFeed.
