Back on August 12, a few days after the announcement of the Facebook acquisition, <a href="http://empoprise-bi.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-do-friendfeed-users-feel-jilted-or.html" rel="nofollow">I postulated</a> that the relationship of some users to FriendFeed was like the first love of a high-schooler, and that when Facebook acquired FriendFeed, many of the FriendFeed users felt "betrayed" and "jilted." Perhaps my analysis was incorrect (although I personally still believe it's true), but there's no denying that people want to be <a href="http://empoprise-bi.blogspot.com/2009/12/empo-plaaybizz-farmville-foursquare-and.html" rel="nofollow">engaged</a> (and I don't mean this in the marital sense) with the software services that they are using. For whatever reason, fewer and fewer people are finding the FriendFeed experience to be engaging. Jorge, I found this post via a Louis Gray share.
