Nice :) Thanks Robert - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

nice scoop! - Marc Ostrick

@Brian How many times have we heard that line before? :( - Rodrigo Jaroszewski

I hope they made a bunch of money, because they SOLD US ALL :( - team bonino

Robert, was this really posted 5 hours ago? - Daniel Chow

Robert: Say "cool" less! - Stephen Foskett

I was thinking the same thing. Count how many times you said "Cool" Robert ;) - Andru Edwards

This acquisition is most likely going to suck for users, but congrats to the FF team. Once Google announced Wave, selling to Facebook was probably the only remaining exit strategy worth the money. - Chip Ramsey

last comment 2 hours ago on FF by Paul Buchheit, FF CEO, was just " :)" http://friendfeed.com/paul #friendbook - Jacopo Gio

I don't know if i'm excited by the possiblities of this move, or frightened by what this could mean. - John Czwartacki

I hope they don't spoil it for us. I just want to keep coming to Friendfeed.com - Mark

If they had no plans of shutting down FriendFeed and rolling features into Facebook they would have said so right away to avoid speculation and to reassure FF users. I am trying not to be suspicious, but I am. - Inside Alaska

I'm in the same camp Alaska - Keith - @tsudo

Andru: it was about 100 degrees outside where I was doing the interview. I was trying to think cool and keep my cool. Heheh. - Robert Scoble

Maybe now we'll be able to integrate Facebook feed with FF & twitter - Justin Long

Faceborg...Googlebook...time to move back to StumbleUpon? Guess we should have seen this coming when FriendFeed got integrated into FeedBurner. - Gail Gardner

This interview is pretty funny... the person interviewing sounds like he just wants to ask questions for the sake of asking questions...;-) ... thanks for the insightful interview but.. - Sherif Mansour

In the interview, it was said that FriendFeed was not in immediate danger and could have continued for a number of years on their own. I'm not quite sure if that is true, because FriendFeed didn't develop their own business model. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

About integrating the social graphs, my social networks on FF and FB had different purposes. I don't have any friends on FB whom I haven't personally met, whereas I subscribe to some people I don't know on FF just because their feeds are interesting. On a related note, the FB graph is undirected and the FF graph is directed. - Ruchira S. Datta

@Scobleizer interviews Paul Buchheit, cofounder of FriendFeed RE acquisition by Facebook. - Deano @ Byron New Media

Rough transcript: http://friendfeed.com/brlewis... - Bruce Lewis

Paul and Brett jumped at the chance to increase their user base a thousand-fold. Whatever comes out of this is going to be huge. - Vezquex

You are right vzx - Nicolas Gosset from IM

"tremendous opportunity" is so vague. Opportunity for who? What opportunity exactly? Or is it just the opportunity to allow the friendfeed employees who weren't already rich to get rich? - Laura Norvig

Laura: it's every engineer's dream to change the world of 300 million people instead of a few hundred thousand people. That's why this is a tremendous opportunity. - Robert Scoble

Sigh. I guess. It's just very hard to think of Facebook as a life-changing venue. - Laura Norvig

Robert: Thanks for this - some information at last! - Jim Connolly
