Why Friendfeed failed and Twitter succeeded
San Fransisco: Twitter is the hottest social networking application when it comes to microblogging world way ahead of others. Taking up the challenge against Twitter was the a potentially threatening rival Friendfeed. In a majority of Twitter Vs Friendfeed discussions we encountered that the Silicon Valley's geekerati's were highly impressed with the more technologically sophisticated and feature-rich, Friendfeed. Although, Friendfeed has been backed by kudos from all corners, but I could never see it neck-to-neck with Twitter. Even comparing Twitter and Friendfeed as Microsoft and Apple respectively, could be a metaphor of sorts, drawing to more than factual conclusion. Recently things took an abrupt turn when social networking ace Facebook acquired Friendfeed. What emerges from the turmoil is, Friendfeed could never pose any real threat to Twitter anymore and will they be able to take on Twitter under Facebook's shadow? The site's loyal users are still waiting for news about whether the social network and aggregator has a future.
