Google can just buy friendfeed back
Google can just buy friendfeed back in a few months, once it’s working really well. And provide all sorts hosted micro-blogging of solutions based on the open-source Jaiku code.
Friendfeed is already much more powerful than twitter on many aspects.
It’s kind of the same way using Open Social and FriendConnect that Google is going to take over facebook. Even though all users are not going to migrate overnight, they can easily migrate in a few months. The more and more people will register accounts and import all their feeds in the Google products, the faster the migration of all the users will happen.
