As a friendfeed user I must say: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!


I wonder how much of it was Facebook stock and at what valuation


Don't know about that yet - but techcrunch says its a all stock or mostly stock acquisition. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/10/first-interview-after-a...


Did friendfeed have a viable revenue model so far?


I think facebook wanted their technology. Facebook has fallen pretty flat on their "real-time" feed whereas friendfeed has thrived. Get ready for facebook to see a spike in how their real-time feed works ;-)


Probably wanted their team more than their tech.


Given that Facebook launched their realtime search today, that would be a pretty amazing integration time...
