Comparison of their search engine features.

Uber-geek Robert Scoble on Facebook buying FriendFeed
This is Facebook firing a shot at Google, not at Twitter. Twitter is mere collateral damage but Facebook knows the real money in real time is in search. FriendFeed has real time search. Google does not (although it’s bootstrapping there very fast, some of my FriendFeed items are showing up in Google within seconds now). [...]
Facebook buys FriendFeed
This is huge. Even if no one quite know what it means yet.
Facebook says they do not want to disrupt FriendFeed, plan to incorporate FriendFeed ideas into Facebook, and then maybe look at integrating them.

Should I quit blogging, asks Problogger
Problogger responds to the “Is blogging dead” meme that Steve Rubel and others have been posting about.

This trend will only continue and is probably not reversible. I increasingly use [...]

Twitter goes mainstream
Twitter is now being mentioned in the Sunday funnies, a sure sign it is going mainstream.
And Doonesbury is mentioning Facebook.
Twitter, the most important website since Google?

Why Facebook never listens to users and why it won’t start now
Uber-geek Robert Scoble responds to the current furor over the Facebook redesign and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg saying disruptive companies don’t listen to their customers.
