James, you're comment is unsettlingly ambiguous. I'm going to assume you mean "redefining" as in "raising the standard?" Yes, I'll go with that.

Oh! Indeed! Raising the bar is what I mean. :-) (Thought that would be obvious. My bad.)

I don't have a good feeling about this one ...
- Boris Gordon
I think FF will certainly change (or, worst case, cease to exist).
- Brett Kelly
maybe FF can just be the test box and we're all beta users, then port what works over to FB ... everybody's happy? yeah, it'll never work.
- John
My guess is FF will pretty much freeze it's feature set and code base. FF engineers will start working on adding functionality to Facebook, and at some points 6-12mo from now, FF will go the way of Pownce.
- Ken Sheppardson
I think the probable outcome is the Feedburner scenario; it still works, they just stopped innovating.
- Gerardo Capetillo
when will they realize we do not necessarily want everything linked together. it is not always about trying to hide your idenity has it is just using different social media tools for different purposes.

I think Facebook will just kill Friendfeed

That's the spirit. I'm tired of the "when are we jumping" posts - this is the right attitude.

That's because you're "pro-Facebook", Jesse... of course you'd be tired of the anti-Facebook backlash.

FriendFeed = labs.facebook.com

I don't have a good feeling about this either. Hopefully FF and FB get better, only time will tell.

Does this mean I'll have to log onto my facebook page? I've been ignoring fb since January.
- Dale
Facebook is going to just "flop" friendfeed, i can see it... but i would hate to see it end that way, friendfeed is that social networking site that really matters, and us "true" early friendfeed users will alway remember it as the best site ever!
- Bryce Campbell
Ken, I'm not just "pro-Facebook". I understand it. I know the team. I also understand FriendFeed and somewhat understand their team as well. I think I'm more qualified to say that than anyone.
- Jesse Stay
I don't see this as a good sign for FF....innovation will be geared for Facebook, FF could be a FB labs sort of thing, but it's not the same. I have yet to see mergers or acquisitions not kill off or turn whatever was eaten into a dead pile of junk. Time Warner -- AOL anyone?
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
FriendFeed will change about as much as Flickr changed after Yahoo took over.
- Gus
I think that this will end up seeing FF becoming the central feed for FB. Possibly something along the lines of the public timeline for Twitter, but with FF becoming the public timeline for FB.
- Andrew
Andrew, exactly. I think Facebook desperately needs and wants something like this. I don't expect it to go away.
- Jesse Stay
Somehow I don't believe that FriendFeed will survive this. Let's enjoy it as long as it's still around.
- Patrick Harms
Yahoo! bought Flickr and Delicious. Conde Nast bought Reddit. Those are still around and in good form. Let's hope FriendFeed gets better instead of disappearing.
- Jeff Harbert
When something that you use is bought up by a giant I think that you feel that you lose something.Looking forward to seeing the outcome.Ger
- gerald miller
Agreed, don't slow it down
- Marc Cooper
wel see
- Ranjit Wassan
I'd love to see Mike be right - FF = labs.facebook.com - Keep the innovations happening here on FF, and see those innovations find their way to the Facebook feed. While that would necessarily mean that FF innovations would have an eye towards how those would work on Facebook, really, where's the harm in that?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Given that the code of the two platforms is completely independent right now, I really can't imagine why Facebook would want to divert engineering effort to extending FF.
- Ken Sheppardson
I just don't think FB can pull it off. They have so many 'brokens' in FB all the time
- Lee Kent
Leo Good Day, Sir. I'm on here an hour and I like it, I'm a big Twitter fan. I think it's exciting personally, a lot to like and some cool features like direct ermail back to someone if you have email alerts. Facebook, seems to me, will only make it better. Cheers and thanks for all you do, I'm a fan.
- Paul Roberts
Don't you think they will change it, Leo? I'm not as excited about this as you are. I like friendfeed but I'm not much of a facebook fan. I don't know if I can learn to love it. I guess I'll try. But I don't know if it's gonna happen. I think friendfeed as we know it is no more.

Wow. That's crazy. I'm a huge fan of Things and CulturedCode. I am now definitely not a fan of this Nirvana nonsense.

Ah, I'm no lawyer. From brief websearching, it appears the legal line is that look and feel cannot be _copyrighted_ ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ), but trademark is something else.

- Akiva
Last bit: http://answers.google.com/answers... - while 'trade dress' is a possibly viable line of IP protection (it falls under trademarks)... I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that both look so much like Apple apps - iTunes in particular - that CulturedCode might not have a whole lot of room to claim the look & feel of "Things" is _their_ trade dress.
- Andrew C (✓)
I believe that Cultured Code has a valid argument here. It's one thing to follow a standardized look-and-feel and another to go down to duplicating some of the icons used in the order in which they were used.

I started to use Newsgator over Google Reader lately. The reasons: seamless offline sync w/mobile, desktop and web; which Google doesn't do.

for which reasons do you want to use a desktop client? If you use an online reader, you should allways be able to access it, don't you? Doesn't a desktop client take up space on your HD (not much, granted, but still)?

Another advantage of a desktop client is the ability to let it save post indefinitely.

- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
With the most recent beta of FeedDemon synching with Google Reader it is easy to get the best of both worlds (Google Reader online + Offline desktop reader). I have found Newsgator's online service to be slow and feature poor. The Newsgator Go client for BB is very nice, though it dos not work offline.
- Sean Brady
I've just done the opposite, switched from NewsGator/FeedDemon/NetNewsWire to Google Reader - ever since the last release of Feeds for iphone. That was always the missing link for me, having a decent app that synced on the iphone to my online Mac/PC feeds. The Google Reader web page on iPhone whilst good, is no match for a proper application. On my PC/Macs though Google reader in browser is perfect for me.
