ShareFacebook vs Twitter vs Friendfeed. Is Facebook doing to much & how are you using it?Facebook:
There’s been a lot talk about Facebook trying to copy Twitter lately with the new public profiles, instant updates and interface changes, but after taking a closer look, it’s seems that Facebook is copying Friendfeed more than Twitter. For example, over the past few weeks Facebook has added “friendfeed-ish” like features such as:
1. “comment” and “like” to status updates
2. group friend lists
3. social network content feeds into status updates.
Friendfeed:
It’s easy to compare Facebook to Twitter because of live status updates but Friendfeed has that too with its real-time updates. Overall, I think Facebook is trying to make changes to keep users on Facebook.com, which is smart for them. They see how others are using twitter plus Friendfeed and see the opportunity to add a wider variety of user-controlled features to fit the need of the super geek like a Robert Scoble to people like my mom (@gwensutton) who is new to social networking.
But everyone is not happy about the changes and don’t see the value of adding the features. They want to use Facebook to stay in contact just with their personal friends and family. Nevertheless I asked the question on twitter “A lot of people are talking about Facebook vs Twitter but to me Facebook is getting more like Friendfeeed …. your thoughts? and here is what a few tweeple had to say.
How are you using Facebook?

You are right. Facebook is looking more like Friendfeed then Twitter. They are the ones that should be worried. I have little use for friendfeed now that Facebook offers the same kind of updates.

I am a fan of email newsletters, have 2 versions one for my clients and one for generic permission list.
Lately I started a blog as well as entered into the twitter world. I have a facebook that was used for retaining my fiends only nothing to do with business.
So as you can see i am tweeting, blogging and newslettering. Tweeting help me keep up to date with my guru’s thoughts, blogging keep me in the habit of writing often and sharing often, newslettering helps me compile my best stories to be disseminated on a monthly basis, and target my groups keeping info relevant. E-news most important contribution to me is the metrics it provides.
Where does face book come in? I just started my business face book and 1) I am really concerned that one day i might do the wrong thing and add my friends into my business or business to my friends. 2) But now I am staring at my business face book – I don’t know how it can contribute to all my other platforms and communication tools. Any suggestions?
