This is a good talk, though I enjoyed watching him talk about Friendfeed knowing now that it has been bought by Facebook. At around 17 minutes:
"Everyone says 'We`re building something different' and whatever, but then they go and flip for 20 million dollars or something, and your like, well then you weren't really doing something different, were you?"
"So, but we really are doing things differently."
- shii 15y agoIn all fairness, Friendfeed was really different. I have been on a lot of different forums and sites online in my time, and I've never seen as robust a realtime discussion forum that aggregates your online identity like Friendfeed. Awesome discussions and groups from its heyday. Really active "rooms" and threads were amazing to participate in without hitting F5. Friendfeed was really something special. I'm surprised more people aren't using it as an intelligence and research/exploratory tool -- it's great for that sort of thing. Cool tools like Tornado were also built at Friendfeed.
