"Facebook is not copying Twitter; it's copying FriendFeed, who originally copied Twitter"

Hmmmm, so what do we call this?  Lifestream? Micro-portal?

"First of all, Facebook is not copying Twitter; it's copying FriendFeed, who originally copied Twitter. Where Obasanjo describes two different models - phone book and micromessaging - there already are three, including personalized aggregation or what I will call the micro-portal. Facebook already had part of the last functionality, so its opening of the micromessaging stream consolidates all three legs of the tripod."  Please Standy By, Steve Gillmor, TechCrunchIT
