Picasa web albums now supports "collaborative albums" which means other people can, if you give them permission, upload photos into your albums. You are on the hook for any illegal photos put in your album and your quota is affected by their uploads. Why would I ever do this?

A friend and you join same event. You want to keep All pictures taken both by your friend and you in the same album - Peter Theill from iPhone

eh.. I guess I just wouldn't want to give up part of my limited quote to someone else - and or risk having my acct closed because my friend accidentally or intentionally uploaded a photo that violated the TOS - seems like way too much risk for very little reward. I'd rather my friend just had his own album of the same event and then I could link to it. - Bill Rawlinson

"Back in May at Google I/O, Google revealed its next masterpiece, Google Wave, created by brother brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen and Stephanie Hannon out of Google’s Sydney, Australia offices. Google Wave is a product that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web. “A “wave” is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more” (About Wave). The Google Wave invention signifies Google’s determination to maintain its leading position in the Web 2.0 products/service development. This post illustrates 7 features that truly make Google Wave remarkable." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

I hope so.... It would be awesome to be one the 100k - Jeannette Høvring

Well damn. I guess my skyscraper.im xmpp MUC for multilingual collaboration is going to be obsolete before anyone else tries it. - Dustin Sallings

It is still extremely slow so I look forward to any release they plan in the end of this month - Peter Theill from iPhone

I want to be among the 100k. That is to say, I'm not content with just ONE Wave account. *Ducks tomatoes* - Eric Geller

How do you get into the 100K to get invites? - Jannifer @wordsforliving

I so want to use this instead of SMS on my Palm Pre - Michael D. Carney

So what are your thoughts on #Facebook's acquisition of #FriendFeed? Do you think it's a good thing, bad thing? What do you think Facebook will bring to FriendFeed, and vice versa? What changes do you see happening to FriendFeed? Will FF be integrated into FF?

bad thing. I have a feeling FF will slowly disappear. Facebook will get marginally better. - Dusty Edenfield

Bad. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

what I have to say? I just hope that nothing will change for the users and that FF continue to improve our experience - Roberto

Ask me again in 6 months--if you still can. - Steve Lowe

It will be a great thing. With more people the FriendFeed experience will explode - Marcus

I share Roberto's opinion... - Chiara

Facebook was looking to implement more of a public twitter-style thing, but a lot of users didn't like that it seemed to be making private conversations more public. If they could keep them separate in some ways, this could solve that. This could be the public facing side of Facebook. I think its a good thing. - Ryan Massie

Not sure how my friends on Facebook will appreciate all the added stuff in my stream if they decide to integrate like that. I wouldn't mind as long as the core friendfeed functionality is there. Along with the search, filters and group features. We'll see, though - Fox

FriendBook? Facefeed? What will this new marriage be called? - Manu Ullas

Well, it can only help FB. I don't know what is going to happen to FF. Guess that is what is worrisome. I liked this place. - Yolanda

It would be great if FB promote FF a lot as FF would get the millions and millions of users from FB. But surely FF will be integrated into FB at some point. I feel very sad atm. I hope I'm wrong. - Kol Tregaskes

imho, it's good for many reasons, both for FF and FB. Better integration, content based advertising (based on comments, discussion topics and demographics on FB account) etc. FB successfully established a networking platform, yet, still couldn't be able to establish a healthy conversation platform (look for the useless fan pages + groups). FF would do it. It may also be the end of forum culture, and so... - Eren Kumcuoğlu

Not sure what comes out of it. Hopefully both services are kept separate as I use them for separate purposes. - Oliver Bouchard

Yeah, I agree Oliver. I use them both for separate purposes too. Not sure all my friends on facebook would be interested on all my shared stuff on friendfeed. - Dan Smith

Personally, I think it is the beginning of the end of FF from user perspective. From FF team perspective it is the end of the beginning. - Dilip Dand

Bad, bad, bad news. - Louise Bolotin

thumbs down .. I would have had it the other way around :) - Peter Theill

The only good news is that we'll see the end of "Show X new posts" in facebook soon when they adopt friendfeeds real-time feed - Oliver Bouchard from IM

I agree with Oliver Bouchard. That's something that Facebook has been lacking for quite a while. And I hate having to reload the whole pig of a Facebook page. - Manu Ullas

I'm happy for the FriendFeed team, it's great news for them but I can't help think that we can't have the two sites running side by side for too long. - Kol Tregaskes

I don't like the news, I preferred the two being separate; as far as I was concerned they were 2 separate networks for different groups of people. - Arthur Guy

congrats to the FF team. They made a great service! - Peter Theill

I just hope we can export the data before the site closes... that's going to be the biggest sadness... so much content that would be really disheartening to lose if the site closed completely - Nathan Chase

congrats to FriendFeed! facebook tried to mimic the service with real-time profile updates but the FF technology is apparently too good and UI too smooth that they had to buy it! I'd imagine facebook integrates the technology without using the Friendfeed name so as not to corrupt the native FF community with n00bs - Andy Sternberg

@cavlec Friendfeed doesn't have privacy problems, because it doesn't have privacy. But it will be a challenge for fb/ff to merge their streams without making the ff stream too private and the fb stream too public. - Oliver Bouchard from IM

Oliver... FriendFed has privacy in some very important ways: (1) Private feeds (2) private rooms (3) most importantly... you don't have to cough up any personal information to have an account on FF. - Tinfoil 2.0

FF teams have made a great and simple tool, so congrats to them, but I don't like the FB aproach and hope this will not "mixed" too much. Is it the "market law"? - Véronique Rabuteau

I'm worried that FriendFeed will turn into a walled garden like Facebook. I'm also worried by Facebook's repeated attempts to take ownership of users' content. Plus they don't really have a reputation for responsiveness to user concerns. - John (bird whisperer)

John I agree with you. The public outcry to the change in their ToS was what made them back off. - Manu Ullas

Agree with you 2 John. - Véronique Rabuteau

Too early to have an opinion... - Rasmus Lauridsen

logicalextremes: that's true. But friendfeed doesn't by far have as much private information as facebook. - Oliver Bouchard from IM

Not sure just yet, I think it will bring more users, but I love the tools that FF provides, not sure that FB will be able to integrate FF into FB interface and still provide access to all the great features that FF offers now? - Brian

#DONTSELLMYFRIENDFEED - sunipeyk

if FB bought FF is because they want to make money out of it. Therefore even if they keep it separate they will put ads on FF. But what I am most scared about is the proliferation of stupid applications and silly games with the only puprose of doing aggressive marketing. - gibilix

I think it's a bad idea. Twitter is full of automatic spam and Facebook is full or redundant apps. We need an independent platform somewhere to hide from the clamor of social circuses - Houseofmax

Not a good thing for FriendFeed. - Bryan R. Adams

As far as technology, I think they need it mainly for their Social-TV initiative to work, besides the obvious other services they offer. Most people are unaware that they have been continually upgrading their interactive/socialTV service over the last six months. They have already had two pay-per-view events which sold out at $66 a ticket. Facebook kept $22 and the balance went to... more... - Michael Fidler

I'm not very happy about it, but as long as Facebook leave it alone I'll be fine. Where else do we go? - Simon Tracey

Eh things like this mostly bad. - MR A

Wish I knew what they were up to. What I wouldn't do to be a fly on the wall in that room! - Toyota of Bellevue

Don't really know what to think. I use FF and FB for completely different things, so I don't want FF to go away. On the other hand, if FF disappears I'll have a bit more free time until I discover the next cool site. - Elizabeth

Elizabeth, well said! That's how I feel too. - Michael Fidler
