Bullish China

Facebook+Friendfeed

Few days ago, Facebook successfully acquired FriendFeed. This is another big event after the merger of Microsoft-Yahoo.

FF with its team will become new member of FB, Currently, the acquisition amount is undisclosed but FriendFeed looks happy with the acquisition and the joy was expressed in a recent post on their blog.

I would like to describe FF a strong competitor to Twitter, as one of successful microblogging service providers. Unthoughtful, Facebook win this round after their failure of bidding Twitter, I expect the combination will bring a bit pressure to Twitter.

Google, I suppose they should worry more even though the search giant is having the obvious ambition in exploring their new social tool after trying to buy Twitter.

Anyway, whoever wins in the business market, we final users will benefit from these simple and elegant service to share information, that’s we desire.
