I am actually VERY excited about FriendFeed going to Facebook. This is a HUGE win for both companies! More later.Meryn Stol, Hutch Carpenter, Michael Wuensch and 63 other people liked this+1 (without the more later ;) - Orli YakuelBig news. - phil baumannOh, I can't wait to hear how this shakes out... - Travis TassetWith any luck FB will rework the UI to make it more friendly and it can gain some market - JamesAbsolutely. Great deal all around. Congrats to everyone involved. - Tom GuarrielloIf Facebook uses the FriendFeed interface, then I would agree it is a great idea. - Rob DianaI'm hoping for better, faster feature development. - Jeff Harbertyes, definitely win-win - Wolfgang Heinrichhuge win for both companies ?? is it a win for the FF community ?? who comes first ?? the business or the users ?? I bet you within 6 months, I wont be using FF as much as I use it now !! - Peter Dawsoni agree - facebook has been getting on my good list this past year and I just love friendfeed. - Chris JacksonJust as I re-dedicate myself to using FF, FB acquires them. If FB can integrate FF's deep feature set, it would be a win-win-win. - Jim DuncanTrue or false: Facebook needs FriendFeed more than FriendFeed needs Facebook. - Joel ZehringI'm excited too, but at the same time I'm afraid facebook may make some wrong moves with their acquisition. We've seen this happen before. - Steven Rodriguezthis is not a good day for Twitter.... - GiorgioI fully expect to just see FriendFeed as a separate entity to go away with its technology being absorbed by Facebook. - Mike FlynnI, for once, indeed welcome our Facebook overlords! - Apostol ApostolovVery True. - Steven RodriguezJoel: Absolutely true. - Adam ReyherI caught Robert's reaction to the news on my iPhone: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Robert J Taylor from iPhoneIf this makes it so I have one LESS place to go to follow my social media, then it will be great. I already have too many different places with different people and different conversations for differ purposes that overlap and make it unnecessarily complicated. - David RondeauFF > FB? not great, actually. diversity is better than monopoly. and i'm concerned about aggregation features getting deprecated (in the name of progress and chrossing the chasm and all that jazz.. of course ;) - jacekThis is a IP, technology and talent grab.. I don't see the 2 sites being consolidated - Dave SeniorMy hopes - opening of the Facebook walled garden towards FriendFeed, official Friendfeed integration into your newsfeed and/or dedicated FriendFeed channel in Facebook. - Apostol ApostolovIt may be a big win for both companies but is likely a big lose for FF users. - Brian SullivanFriendFeed functionality on Facebook would be nice. The reverse, not so much. They're trying to address two entirely separate purposes and as such, need to remain completely separate. - Adam ReyherI hope Facebook turns into FriendFeed. That would be great! - WoI'd really love to see the real-time threaded conversation feature of friendfeed be adopted by facebook. - Steven RodriguezLooking forward to your analysis Robert - Ken SetoI can see development of FF slowing down as the team brings the tech over to Facebook - Dave SeniorIndeed, Brian. FF devotees should be pissed over this. I can't believe Facebook will do anything but carve out a few choice pieces of FF meat - likely making them even more Twitterish - and dump the rest. FF will be gone within six months. - Shéa BennettThis is a huge win for both companies, and a huge fail for every net surfer. - TiTiyeah it may not be that bad. maybe i'm exaggerating. - Edgar RodríguezWell, I think the FF team can certainly help the Facebook UI. But, all I take away from this is FF going away. - YolandaOne thing to consider is this: If we have "trusted" the FriendFeed people not to screw things up, hopefully we can trust them to make sure they're still in control in the terms of the acquisition. - Adam ReyherYes, Robert. Like TiTi said, huge win for both companies, huge fail for the people who like FriendFeed. "Welcome to FaceFeed! Would you like to take a quiz?" - Zach FlauausI think this is definitely a huge win for both but maybe not for the users. I think it could be good or bad for users but I hope that Facebook will allow FriendFeed to continue and push the envelope with emerging technologies. I imagine this is Facebook and FriendFeed teaming up against Twitter. - Brandon Titus.-( Good for Friendfeed, but horrible for people that like friendfeed and hate facebook &their UI or where FB is blocked - Del_may be - Ahmet SoyataIt's good timing. FF uniques fell almost 10% in July. - Shéa Bennettthis is bad news for twitter, me thinks. - Brian RiesAbsolutely, Robert. Its a very good tech acquisition for Facebook, they get a great team with a well developed technology stack. It lets the FriendFeed founders get a good, early exit. - DGentryI hope so. I know my initial reaction was not as negative as most of the others I'm seeing in my stream. Maybe I'm just being naive. - Herb HernandezHopefully this means the power of friendfeed will be utilized. Awesome news - MarcusThis is why I follow Mr. Scoble, yes that is Mr. Scoble :) always has his fingers in the breaking news. - dennis podgorskiI'm fired up about this union between FriendFeed and Facebook. With the exception of my social media group, I've used FriendFeed primarily as an aggregator--despite it's being my favorite GUI and functionality. I think this is going to bring the substance to FriendFeed that it's been missing. Very exciting! - Jim WI have a hard time drawing my line of Public v Personal. I use Twitter & FriendFeed for public use and I use Facebook for private use. I have not even once made a status update on Facebook. I am not sure I want FriendFeed on Facebook. I am intrigued about the possibilities of integration but I am not sure I will adopt. - thestaticfrostThe power of FF will be used -- but it won't be pretty and won't be for good. - Brian SullivanI have to agree with Robert on this. I think this is likely to be a great deal moving forward. I'm excited about it, and happy for the FriendFeed crew. They've done an AWESOME job. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)I am not as excited about this. I don^t like Facebook as much - nchengai think this is going to add more value to Facebook - Lee Kentconcur robert - mike "glemak" dunnThe ability to block applications and tweets easier in Facebook would be a win for me. - Mark BeanIt certainly makes sense, and I agree that it adds value to FF. I wonder how many of the 250 million users of FF will be using it in its current form. - courtney bensonJust surprised this didn't happen earlier. Facebook has been mimicking FriendFeed's functionality for a while now. Nice that FF is finally getting paid for their R&D efforts. - Aaron StroutI think this will make me drop friendfeed or facebook - Nicolai RyghPlease explain - this may be win for Friendfeed - but as far as us the users/fans... we're the big losers in this right? I really really can't stand Facebook :-( Help us have hope... - Jannifer ❦ruination. - Dead SilenceI will wait and see approach @ all - polou/indigo_bowhere is the explanation, FF have t sell the soonerr, better then laterr, they choose the right momment, wave is there and it is a big promise - abdellahwhen Google start wave, they surely shown their non desire to acquir FF it was implicite - abdellahAll Your Feeds Are Belong To Us - Ian TindaleI'm hoping for the best. - Jim ConnollyThe idea here is growing on me. I see the business case...I'm still not sure as to the impact on Twitter and different users who prefer one tool over another and/or use the two differently. - Derek ShanahanI'm trying to defer my pessimism...but I feel an "I Want Sandy"-type fail in the wings. As for FF needing to sell, that wasn't the case; the founders had the money to keep it going for as long as they wanted, basically. We'll see, I suppose. We'll see. - Ken KennedyThis is really interesting. This will bring a bigger pool of social media services to people. As it is now, regular folks don't venture further than Facebook, with this acquisition, many will realize that there is a plethora of great other services and social media websites that they can engage in. - Rami TaibahYa know when you get a bad feeling about something - I have one about this deal. Can't put my finger on it, but it don't feel right. - Jim ConnollyFriendFeed now to get BIGGER than Twitter? - Jim Connolly"when Google start wave, they surely shown their non desire to acquir FF it was implicite" - I think that probably covers it. - John CraftIsn't this the kind of daring move that Yahoo should have made? - Andrew WarnerSeems like a HUGE win for Facebook. Not so sure for the future of FF, though. - Chris WoodThis is really interesting. This will bring a bigger pool of social media services to people. As it is now, regular folks don't venture further than Facebook, with this acquisition, many will realize that there is a plethora of great other services and social media websites that they can engage in. On the side of the coin, I am kind of worried about FB privacy issues and data portability - Rami Taibahis there a dislike button anywhere? I did exactly the opposite FB never appealed, FF rocked... - Valeria MaltoniFriendFeed will not be the same place, in terms of the community, but this keeps friendfeed around for a while. Awesome! Where's Arrington? Did he reopen his account? - Benjamin Taylor
