Facebook Buys Friendfeed (Threat to Twitter?)

August 10, 2009 in Business with 1 Comment

The news of Facebook buying Friendfeed is probably unwelcome news to Twitter today.  After almost a week of Twitter troubles and the fact that I many are still struggling with using Twitter with Firefox (me included), I can imagine there are some looking for an alternative.

Mashable has a great post about what this change in social media could mean for Twitter.  Read that post HERE.

Anything that will make my social media useage easier is a welcome addition for me, but it will be interesting to watch how this plays out over the next few months.  One thing for sure, Facebook is not afraid to change things quickly and in the world of social media changes happen fast.  Read a previous post about that HERE.  Some of my Facebook friends who have sworn off Twitter may soon have an alternative option.

Would you drop Twitter if Facebook offers you a better solution?
