Enable Facebook Comments on your Custom Domain - The Official Posterous Posterous

This is a pretty big step. As far as I know it's the first service to allow cross commenting between Facebook and blogs. I don't even think Disqus lets you do that yet.

Facebook Acquires Social Veterans in FriendFeed Deal « Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang | Social Media, Web Marketing

Facebook makes a play and acquires Friendfeed, a sharing and aggregation tool that helps people find out what their friends are doing. Read Friendfeed’s announcement, and Facebook’s blog post.

A few months ago the Facebook and Twitter deal fell apart, and Facebook knows it must open its community to the open web –not just behind a login in order to benefit from generating revenues through advertising and search advertising.

louisgray.com: Hi Facebook, It's Me, FriendFeed. This Relationship? It's Complicated.

So what's happening to this Valley? Is it as dire a situation as it sometimes seems? Are we really going to end up with four mega-companies: FaceBook, Google, Microsoft and Apple? Because if Google or Microsoft can weasel their way into acquiring Twitter, that's sure how it will seem. If the IPO market continues to be closed, and innovative companies can only knock on doors 1 through 4, that's not a good thing.

Facebook Buys Sharing Service FriendFeed | paidContent

Facebook has purchased social sharing service FriendFeed. Financial terms of the deal were not released, although FriendFeed had raised just over $5 million in venture funding.

Facebook has hinted in the past that it was interested in making an acquisition. In raising $200 million from Russian investor Digital Sky Technologies in late May, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the new cash opened the possibility of “strategic options.” And Facebook also reportedly made a bid for Twitter last fall.

Facebook Acquires FriendFeed (Updated)

Facebook has acquired FriendFeed, we’ve learned. We’re gathering details now.

At this point details on the acquisition are still very sparse, but it’s clearly a good match. Over the last year or so, Facebook has “borrowed” quite a few of features that FriendFeed popularized, including the ‘Like’ feature and an emphasis on real-time news updates.

Networking site cashes in on friends - Telegraph

I think this is a very interesting move by Facebook. Access to a social networks data and users for market research is obvious IMO and probably a really good move. It makes me wonder about what the future of marketing will be. Will all social networks turn into marketing and research companies?

Facebook to Copy FriendFeed's "Like"? [Video]

Has Facebook really ever innovated anything successful, or do they just copy everyone else's functionality? I guess that's another reason why Microsoft was such a good partner for them.
