Google sees all of the Twitter profiles and counts those thousands of links. Google doesn't see Facebook profiles for many people, thus killing the number of inbound links it thinks that page has. This is more of a problem with Facebook than with Google, I would think.
But like I have said before and certainly not the first one to say it, competition is a good thing. The entire Facebook Connect / Google Friend Connect / Microsoft very quiet war only makes them all stronger and more apt to produce their best work and we profit.
Just a technicality: IE did not ship with Windows 95, at least not the retail copies. To get it you had to buy "Microsoft Plus", or get Win95 from an OEM. Later claims that IE was inextricably welded to Win95 are incorrect.

2. Sure it might be kind of embarrassing for Google that friendfeed is built by ex-Googlers, though one giant awesome company like Google can't just release things like that even in Labs without a huge amount of preparation to back it up.
Friendfeed although it's cool, is only used by a few tens of thousands of people regularly, and most current friendfeed users use it only to test it out, not as a really useful tool.
When Google plans to launch real-time features, it will be to be used by tens of millions of people and it has to be really useful and built in a way that makes sense.
Though, I wouldn't want to defend Google, I think that Google is way too slow at releasing new features, although they develop new awesome things faster than anyone else. Still I think Google has the responsibility to make everything work immediately. Especially the way Youtube is monetized yet, there I think Google is far from doing enough to make it work.

Makes me want to get me a truck of cement and get into the FireAnt nest way down in my yard!
They are though. Big time!
Smart developers have pen and paper and are patenting as much of the shift as humanly possible before it happens.
What if you could have patented web browsing? Or patented RSS?
Now is the time. Google can't pre-empt every utility surrounding this. It's first come, first serve.

This and Android's cupcake.
The Greek letters Chi (pronounced "Kai") and Rho are represented by the modern letters X and P. So, Cairo = Chi Rho = XP.
Now their way of thinking and building need to move into real-time.
Good luck.
The ants in the ecosystems are using a stigmergic system, a mechanism of spontaneous, indirect coordination between agents or actions, where the trace left in the environment by an action stimulates the performance of a subsequent action, by the same or a different agent. Stigmergy is a form of self-organization. It produces complex, apparently intelligent structures, without need for any planning, control, or even communication between the agents. As such it supports efficient collaboration between extremely simple agents, who lack any memory, intelligence or even awareness of each other.

No time to be installing fans so I rebooted to Ubuntu and because I use a browser OS I was back in business in two minutes. Most do not even need Windows anymore, they consume everything thru the browser. We are too close to the flame to see that but my best friends are a plumber and a commercial electrician.
They make great money, are working class guys like me, but when they use a computer they don't need more than a browser and I just made a full time switch to Ubuntu. Now if Chrome would finally release a stable build for Linux I would be all set. Why Chrome, it comes with Google Gears, offline access to your online Google apps.
Scoble is always ahead of his time here and Charbax, that is would changing news. The web browser OS is just down the road for the masses. Browser because it is not dependent on any OS, all you need to do now is boot a machine, the rest is waiting for you online in many different forms, not at home on your machine.
