To market, to market ! Facebook eats FriendFeed ($50M, mostly stock). Its like the elephant eats the mouse as FriendFeed only counts 12 employees, of which 4 founders coming from… Google ! And it appears the deal was ongoing since 2007. OMG !

FriendFeed will survive for a while as it is. Facebook wants as a priority not the product, but the creativity of the team. What for ? Obviously to catch up with Twitter, in a better way. FriendFeed is really convenient when it comes to dealing with easy social conversations. Twitter looks more like a one shot machine. Even if you can re-Tweet, FriendFeed simply does it better. And within Facebook, you get it : the killer app !

Wise move gents !

Now will Microsoft buy Twitter ? :-)
