While I agree with your premise for Goog to try and be a center, I'm not sure Friendfeed would have done the job. Are you on FriendFeed? I don't think it was the most intuitive, user friendly interface and design. The guys were great engineers and had big ideas, but if the design was simpler the masses would have probably flocked to it rather then to facebook and twitter. Think Dave's right and Goog should try and be more offensive when it comes to social media, just not sure if Friendfeed would have been the right move. Hi Anu, thanks for the comment.

They needed a more consumer front end then Facebook did. Imagine if this was the centrel commenting system for Google Reader, Google News, Picassa, YouTube, Google FriendConnect, Google Alerts, PubSubHubub, etc. It could've been the switch board between the products. Something that would make you not leave Google and find the different properties. I agree with Dave McClure and I think this could have been an offensive move for Google to be the center.
