If Twitter did buy these companies, they could turn them into premium services which would probably help them pay the bills.

Friend feed is more content syndication, their only real competitor in this is ping.fm. There will always be a market as simply its growth is never ending. Social Media is heading to evolve even more, it wont stop for a long time. Why would that be a threat, they all do different things.
