Absolutely. One word: overstimulation. Friendfeed is too much for some people, and Twitter is a neat little app with definite staying power. Digg and Reddit are news-based feeds, but CNN.com and other news outlets are still around and kicking. It'll be interesting to see the resulting balance between the two, but there will certainly not be a blowout of one by the other.

whether a fan of the bald eagle or the venerable dodo bird, either certainly have a niche of a chance!

Yes. Both have a good following and can make it.

twitter - not sure, as it has service problems. but twitter like service of course will survive as it is different from friendfeed.

Yes, both can survive, but I think twitter will be more lively, and with added features, more viable and important to media spread.

The question is can either survive.

He with the greatest market share wins. That would be Twitter and their stupid FailWhale.

Why not? Different strokes for different folks...

i believe that the services can both survive as they serve different purposes
