Facebook is now positioning itself as a micro-blogger, stating that it's news feeds are "the world's biggest source of published information." Blog-Dots anyone?

Quoted: Zuckerberg describes the news feed service as a new, revolutionary way in which to absorb information. The information we have online offers a new way to learn about various topics, save notes from class, and find information. While the news feeds were initially a cause of much controversy, the service has quickly become as one of Facebook’s central features.

Quoted: The functionality of Facebook’s news feeds is very similar to other services growing in popularity, like Twitter and Jaiku, offering a news feed for yourself and your friends. They are all integrated with SMS technology to keep the updates going when you’re on the move.
