WSJ: “Facebook Inc. said it has acquired FriendFeed, a start-up that allows users to share links and status updates online, folding in a potential rival that struggled to take off. – Facebook paid nearly $50 million for the company, in a combination cash and stock offer, according to people familiar with the matter.”
TC: “This acquisition is a very smart move by Facebook to bolster its product, especially as it relates to the real-time web. One thing it does not do however, is make Facebook simpler. I’d still argue that Twitter has an inherent advantage over Facebook because it is so much simpler to use, resulting in a much lower barrier to entry. But naturally, with the complication comes a lot more data, and data is ultimately be the key for a larger battle for the web, so it’s a trade-off. – Where this leaves FriendFeed as a service is still up in the air. The team has said FriendFeed will continue to run as-is for the time being, but made no promises about the future. Cox’s comments seem to indicate that FriendFeed will be a sort of farm system for the big league Facebook, which I’m sure will piss off plenty of FriendFeed devotees.”
AdAge: “Hopefully, through the FriendFeed acquisition, Facebook will make it easier to search these updates. It’s hard enough to search for anything on Facebook, though the network has indicated that it plans to focus more on that experience. Now imagine if on Facebook you could search what consumers are publicly sharing anywhere; that search functionality would make Twitter Search seem like a kid’s plaything.”
NYT: “It’s a logical fit for Facebook, which has slowly been shifting its focus to becoming more of a real-time social broadcasting service. – But the bigger win for Facebook may be the technical talent that comes with the deal: FriendFeed’s founders were involved in the creation of Google’s Gmail service.”

Advertising Industry Outlook
Advertising is not getting better, but is not getting any worse: Probably it will never recover; http://bit.ly/g6XvV
Google: “For the last several months, a large team of Googlers has been working on a secret project: a next-generation architecture for Google’s web search. It’s the first step in a process that will let us push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions. The new infrastructure sits ‘under the hood’ of Google’s search engine, which means that most users won’t notice a difference in search results. But web developers and power searchers might notice a few differences, so we’re opening up a web developer preview to collect feedback.”
TC: “Search Engines are like sharks: If they stop moving, they die. – Google, as the king of search engines, obviously has been doing that constantly throughout the years. Some of the changes are noticeable, but most are subtle tweaks on a rolling basis. – But today, the company has begun testing a new engine for its search product that’s a big enough change that it felt compelled to let the world know about it. Codenamed ‘Caffeine’, it promises to ‘push the envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness and other dimensions.’”
Cutts: “Google recently opened up a preview of our new Caffeine update, and I wanted to give a little more background on this change.”
RWW: “From a consumer standpoint, Caffeine is identical to regular Google search save for shaving off a few precious half seconds. But for search engine marketers, the new indexing system adds another hurdle to their jobs. While it’s likely that Google will have at least a month head start in outrunning them, in the past savvy keyword specialists have always managed to make their mark. – To help improve Caffeine, search in the sandbox and click the ‘Dissatisfied? Help us improve’ link to offer feedback.“
