This is a bad deal! I have accounts on Facebook, FriendFeed and Twitter. On a scale of 1-10, I rate them 8, 5, and 2, respectively. I don't want lowly '2' buying average '5' so it can wipe out the very useful '8'. Bummer!

FriendFeed has been more of a niche social media destination, never having grown to the size of a Facebook or Twitter, but it provides a more Twitter-like stream of status updates and real-time search capabilities for Facebook. The combination of Facebook with FriendFeed functionality puts Facebook in a position to compete directly with Twitter and Google.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/blogs/bizfeed/169987/friendfeed_buy_helps_facebook_compete_with_google_and_twitter.html">The FriendFeed purchase provides Facebook with the technology to incorporate more real-time status updates, and gives it a leading real-time search capability.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/278DCBC3-D9FB-4983-B50A-7DECA047625A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
