Update links on home page

* Updated http links to the https versions when possible.
* Updated links to Google Groups to match their new URL format.
* Updated links to other projects to match their new locations.
* And finally, updated link to FriendFeed to go to the Wikipedia page, because friendfeed.com is just a redirect to facebook.com now :-( :-(
