<p>As I'm sure most of you know, <a class="reference external" href="http://facebook.com">Facebook</a>
|
||
decided today that it was going to buy
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="http://friendfeed.com/kennethreitz">FriendFeed</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>My opinion might be a little biased... I just discovered FF
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="http://kennethreitz.com/blog/friendfeed-is-awesome/">recently</a>,
|
||
and I must say that I've been thoroughly impressed with the service
|
||
so far. I've been spending an increasing amount of time on it every
|
||
day, and It's most certainly a breath of fresh air from the clogged
|
||
mob-congestion of Twitter.</p>
|
||
<p>So apparently someone at Facebook realized this and decided to join
|
||
forces.</p>
|
||
<p>So what is Facebook after? Absorbing the competition? I don't think
|
||
so. Did you know FriendFeed is operated by only 11 people? and it
|
||
rocks! That's definitely 11 people who are extremely talented and
|
||
know exactly what they are doing. Something Facebook needs. They
|
||
have been trying to put something together that works as well as FF
|
||
for while now. The two merging might not be that bad, as long as FF
|
||
marches on. My last favorite social site,
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="http://pownce.com">Pownce</a>, was shut down when
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="http://sixapart.com">Six Apart</a> purchased them for the creation
|
||
of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.movabletype.com/motion/">Motion</a> – an utter
|
||
failure.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>:</p>
|
||
<p>Luckily, the two companies announced today that FriendFeed will
|
||
continue to remain a separate, fully functional entity from
|
||
Facebook. Facebook will be integrating features of FriendFeed. Good
|
||
news! Lets see if it happens.</p>
