Google Should Buy FriendFeed

It's simple. Google should buy FriendFeed now. The longer they wait, the more the asking price will be. I'm not talking wait Friendster long ... but the time is now to buy FriendFeed. If they don't, Microsoft, AOL or Yahoo! should.

Google's suite works the best with FriendFeed. The aggregator model of microblogging and lifestreaming is it. I thought it would come in the form of netvibes or iGoogle, but not everyone sees it that way.

PicasaWeb works incredibly well with FriendFeed ... maybe just as good as FlickR, but I'm a Picasa guy since the Hello days when FlickR didn't have a bulk uploader. But back then, just finding a free site to post photos to was tough enough. Yahoo Photos was around but you couldn't link to any of the photos because the links kept changing. That was also around the same time when blogger stopped offering their Pro level of service which allowed photo storage.

Anyhow. Buy FriendFeed. It's probably only a couple Billion, what's the worst that could happen? This gives you the best application to merge all of the services you offer. It's reactive and preemptive. Do it. Do it.
