Facebook agreed to acquire FriendFeed yesterday.  This is one more step in the race to create the ultimate social media portal. There are so many options online. One or two will eventually become the standards.

The Big Three right now are  Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter.  Twitter is the newest and the biggest game changer. Tweeters are the most informed people on the Web. Both Facebook and Linkedin have improved their status update systems as a result of the popularity of Twitter.

Now that Facebook has acquired the extreme information overload version of Twitter known as FriendFeed, it is opening up opportunities to infuse updated information from the outside world within its traditionally walled-off community.

It would be good for photographers to watch how Facebook applies the real-time FriendFeed applications to Facebook.  It may open some doors offering more influence and public relations to a larger audience within the growing Facebook community.
