home run for FF.. Facebook will be able to give developers a treasure trove of data one thing that Twitter is dominating on right now. Twitter has a huge developer community but isn't managing that. Here FB is poised to be huge

do you have a small amount of FriendFeed shares Robert?
- Torsten Eckert
NOOOOOOO. Damnit! I am praying that Facebook doesn't wall up Friendfeed. I was starting to build a site around Friendfeed :(
- beersage
beersage: as Facebook is trying to break their users into a more public world, I doubt that you really have anything to worry about there.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Starting to listen to this now. Hoping you are right, Rob.
- beersage
I hope so to. But regardless, I think that it was in reality necessary for FriendFeed to sell to really put the technology in front of a sufficient number of eyeballs. Facebook is probably the best acquirer that FriendFeed could have. (I would have not felt the same had FF been acquired by Google)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
The thing with Friendfeed though is how I can share things outside of a 'wall.' I prominently feature the FF widget on my site. I'm just concerned of losing that capability as I was tinkering with delivering a new site w/ content primarily running through my Friendfeed account. I am to this day unable to do much outside of the wall. I am unable to subscribe to Fan Page updates in Google reader for instance. That is what concerns me about FB acquiring FF given my goals.

Robert sounded quite breathless in that interview. Thanks Robert.

This deal was about getting Paul and the team and nothing else
- Stephen Pickering
@stephan, are you serious? FB is buying a concept, a technoloie, a structure, a content and a user list
- abdellah
Unconvincing Paul Buchheit, the team is more exited of being part of bigger story - logical for them to move on
- patrickdh
now how could a team that left google resist under a unique perception system, where the leader vision is upon any thing
- abdellah
They want a way to turn their white pages into a yellow pages and the only guy on Earth who knows how to do it, is Paul
- Stephen Pickering
It was only about the technology and the people. Most people are on also FB anyway.
- James Myatt
My guess is that Paul got a tooooooooon of options and will soon be the No.2 guy at Facebook
- Stephen Pickering
Glossing over of that "short term" question by the FF boys. It just seems more about the individuals at FF than it does the users of FF. "Their (Facebook) long term goals" Nice interview, Robert!
- Melanie Reed
Well, it looks as if pass-through of FriendFeed Likes, Comments, etc. to Twitter is down. Will it be for good? Did Twitter do this in response to the acquisition? Or is it just a regular (though curiously timed) hiccup?

Amanda: it's not a big joke. I spent two days with the chairman and another day yesterday. When we fail you we've messed up totally. What services are you using?

Just managed hosting. Frankly who cares whether you met the Chairman, I would be more interested to hear you spent a week in their call center but that would not allow you to drop a big "I'm important" name.

Because live and dynamic interaction is where this has all been going from the beginning. The only reason we were doing it the other way was a limitation in the technology that isn't there anymore.

hey, why not. Better, hook with Twitter, and everytime I have an @me, it sends me an email as if someone commented on my blog or replied to one of my comments, and I can reply to this message from my email. Twitter should be more like Disqus! Real time is just a buzz.

I'd also like a few more basic features to work in Disqus. Like allowing readers to subscribe to *all* of a post's comments via email - currently they can only get emails when someone hits the little Reply button below a comment of theirs. A lot of folks like following all comments on a post once they're in on it. Also would like to be able to moderate trackbacks without workarounds, and to have the whole Moderation section work much better ...

- Patrick Jordan
Uh, duh, cause it's more useful. Live web updates (like beta.ff) allows you to participate in real time if you're able. Gets a touch closer to actual human conversations from the average comment board. And live commenting on a blog or FF doesn't necessarily demand all attention like IRC or IM would tend to make you feel you have to stay participating. Remember, some people still have fun with the conversation and add value even though they don't realize it's live - they just read a stream, add a comm...

@ Giannii - my support experience may not be typical then - but over the course of submitting four separate queries, I've never had timely or effective response. My first query sat on the forum for 7-8 days with no response until I searched out a Disqus Twitter account and (twice) tweeted asking whether Disqus provides any support. Another consistent thing on all my queries was that there would be no response for quite some time, followed by a request to try something I had already stated I'd tried in my
- Patrick Jordan

- Wayne Sutton
Cont'd: original post. All four issues ended up being genuine problems / bugs / missing features as well - so they were not user error type stuff. Again, mine may not be the typical experience, but having had very poor response on four separate queries over a period of 2 -3 weeks does not strike me as just a single off day or bad luck kinda thing either ...

I don't need live comments.
- Steve Wilhelm
Live comments would be great!
- Kol Tregaskes
The real question here is whether it would be smarter and easier to bring blogging here (and have FF entries replace blog entries) rather than bringing real time commenting to blogs.
- Brian Sullivan
This is very interesting. If Disqus had live comments and seamless FF integration all packaged together ready to plug into your website/blog/whatever it would be clearly different to any other system. Juggling various sources of information and discussions on multiple platforms is time-consuming so if you offer a solution to that you will win. Show how ppl can feed everything into FF and from there in and out to their sites...or whatever way so that it can all be bundled and managed. Keep us informed!
- WorldofHiglet
@ Giannii - thank you. I like Disqus a whole lot - its features are great, if support is improved it will really be the bomb ...
- Patrick Jordan
Disqus, Friendfeed and Twitter shld merge, and make this integration a lot easier for all of us.
- William Mougayar
I agree with William M. Social network feeders need to lead the new era of collaboration. If universities can do it and disciplines can do it, then sites need to get on board and either merge or work together more coherently to offer better integration for users
