Why is everyone reacting so violently? You have no idea how it'll play out. - Gus

Because, thanks to FriendFeed's inability to give a single clue as to what's up, the only thing we can do at this point is freak the eff out. - Brad Williamson

Is that really all you can do? - Gus

Yeah, a lot of things are being kept quiet, and I don't think that the original FriendFeed will stay the same. Chances are that it will either be changed to the point where we don't like it, or just removed completely--but with FriendFeed's real-time and search features implemented into Facebook. It's a big win if you want Facebook to become more like FriendFeed, but bad if you like FriendFeed itself. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Is everyone a prophet these days? sheesh... - Gus

I like this! - Eduardo

FB took the people behind FF and plenty of users are not terribly confident that FF will continue to be developed or maintained as it has been in the past. - Joe Silence is not Santa

If you want to know how the FB acquisition of FF will turn out, look at Google's acquisition of Feedburner. Feedburner is still a very useful service, but it innovation stopped once it was bought, and you can no longer get questions answered. - ComicList

Comic: All they will commit to is not shutting down FF in the "near-future," or "near-term," or however it was phrased. FF is going to go away, so I don't think that analogy will hold -- this situation is even worse than that. - Christopher A Carr

ComicList: the question is - how many services have facebook acquired? google aquired alot and learnt through trial and error what the best practice is - facebook hasnt had that expirience yet! - Chris Clayton

make me sad - 阿石

THIS IS EXCITING!! the only reason i joined FF in the first place!! - Ann Okafor
