Friendfeed may be owned by Facebook, but they aren't going to make drastic changes to it. If anything, the service will have even better support. I understand that something like this could change the culture by bringing more mainstream people to the service, but that was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. I say good for them, if Facebook does drop the ball, I'm sure that there are smart entrepreneurs who will step in and build another one. This is all much ado about nothing.

I REFUSE to do business with a company that invades the privacy of even NON-MEMBERS. Facebook BEACON gathers purchase data of ALL the transactions made by customers of its BEACON partners, even of NON-FACEBOOK USERS! http://pcworld.about.com/od/onlineprivacy/Facebook-s-Beacon-Ad-System-Al.htm Due to the horrendous PR backlash, Facebook offered a way to members to opt-out of displaying that information. However, there is no way to entirely opt-out of Facebook's gathering of that information altogether. Needless to say, I refuse to do business with Facebook's Beacon affiliate websites, as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Beacon#Partner_websites I don’t care who Facebook buys or how good its features get.

I feel the protocol could certainly be used to make a social media service like FriendFeed. I’d like to try Google Wave too.
