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?

I hope it's a good thing, but I'm pretty sure it will turn out to be a bad, bad thing.
- Irma Vermaat
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 Lorè
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
Great thing for FriendFeed employees who manage not to be laid off. Bad thing for those who are laid off. Bad thing for FriendFeed users, many of whom came here to AVOID Facebook's persistent privacy problems.
- D0r0th34
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.
- LogEx
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 (a.k.a. dendroica)
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
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.

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...

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

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.

RIP FriendFeed! http://bit.ly/fhOux

Likely, Facebook acquired the talent from Friendfeed, as we've noticed that Facebook has emulated their features over past months.

Do you think twitter could lose some users who will stay on friendfeed ?
- Guillaume Simon
the answer is no guillaume.
- Orli Yakuel
friendfeed must be tired of all these booty calls it gets whenever twitter goes down. I really do like ff better. It's just that everyone's at that phrat house.
- paisano
I agree... But i think i'll stay on friendfeed, seems it's easier to have interesting users feedbacks on ff
- Guillaume Simon
n'empêche y"a ke sur FF que tu peux lire un truc aussi énorme que Orli Yakuel a plu à Guillaume Simon... mieux que meetic le truc...
- Emgenius
I'm using them both, and ok with that.
- Orli Yakuel
@Orli what specific use of ff do you make ? same question for twitter ?
- Guillaume Simon
I think it is a good thing for Twitter to go down from time to time. It makes people either appreciate the quiet or other awesome services like FriendFeed.

Jeremiah: I think live/life streaming is becoming the ultimate resource and information sharing medium as people come upon things whereas blogging is still a core content voice. From the core voice in blogging, live/life streams facilitate real time conversation.
- Jason Cronkhite
for me, yes.
- Scott Magdalein
Life streams are like water rushing by you, it carries a lot of information, but its hard to catch it. Every once in a while the stream comes to a large area and slows down, that is what Blogging is to me a way to slow the stream down and capture information that is important. So no they are still different but connected.

I think so too. Let's see how Google Wave is going to change the game later that year ...

Twitter-Zweitaccount für Privates? Muss jeder selbst entscheiden. Meine Meinung: Was zu privat ist wird nicht getwittert.
