I don't know if anyone else has noticed but if you add your Friendfeed account link to your Google Profile, it pulls all the related accounts (Digg/Disqus/seesmic/etc). I wouldn't be surprised if Google launches a service resembling Friendfeed within the next month. A profile of your social circle could help Google rank your search results.

As a former salesforce.com employee, I recall all of the past and presumably on-going, courtship of the two consumer and enterprise giants. At the moment, Salesforce and Google Apps has a very tight integration whereby Salesforce even pitches the Google suite. (Even the platform has a high-level of integration - Apps, Sites, etc.) I wonder what part of the product design and implementation came from the 'know-how' of Salesforce and moreover, whether this is an indicator of some merger down the road.
