"Facebook's purchase of FriendFeed, an obscure social-media platform, is potentially momentous. To understand why, we must understand FriendFeed, a start-up that is ubiquitous among techies and unknown to everybody else. It's a sleek application that acts as a clearinghouse for all of your social-media activities."

Excellent and perceptive article and a no brainer purchase by Facebook.One only wonders why it took them so long

Washington Post, who you callin' obscure? ;-)

Indeed, "obscure" has suspect or somewhat negative connotations! Guess the Post is still catching up ...

You tell 'em, Laura.

Michael, it took so long because friendfeed didn't want to be bought. i'm sure it was a tough decision, but they did eventually decided to sell and let's hope it was all for the better

facebook and friendfeed together are a game changer. I'm surprised more people don't seem to understand why

LOL no kidding, FF is really only FB's rival on the world wide net, 50ms Twitter was only going for bout 70 with a huge user base discrepancy, both negotiators, those on each side knew it for about 2 years, I've been told. Remember Louis G, it's all about the river duh...Know who contributed to that article?

Who do you think contributed to the article, Shawn? I didn't see any quotes. It was more of a summary.

Time for another sosial media platform?

Wow - I would say Apple has you locked down pretty good. Pretty high transition cost if you want to go somewhere else. :)

I like to get a report on my app usage. That byline RSS reader looks cool. Any other GReader apps come close?
- Andrew Smith
@Andrew Byline rocks. Waiting for Netnewswire to upgrade though.
