Facebook has released the Open Stream API enabling developers to bring your personal activity stream to the outside world. This has some very large implications, including - my prediction - that it will kill off FriendFeed, but not Twitter, and that it further establishes the groundwork for a Facebook advertising platform.
Why will FriendFeed die, but Twitter live? FriendFeed’s identity is an aggregation platform, and while can do everything that Twitter can do (and more), it’s lacking the one essential quality that will carry it into the future… personality.
