For Paul, I assume there is an incredible amount of self-satisfaction. Buzz has really brought the FriendFeed experience to a new audience, regardless of its name. Thanks for all your contributions, Paul. - Louis Gray

I really like Buzz, very cool... glad to see Google release something that integrates a ton of their existing portfolio of products together! Buzz is truly a game changer... wow - Susan Beebe

Flattered at least Paul? - Christopher Galtenberg

+100 Louis! - Susan Beebe

Buzz totally copied FriendFeed LOL :D - Susan Beebe

We'll see :D - Özkan Altuner

Friendfeed should live on. - Ashish

+1 Louis - Jay

Maybe we should all agree to just go use Buzz, let them shut down FriendFeed, and Paul, Bret, et al can concentrate on Facebook... ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

It must be bittersweet. Well put, Louis. Well put. - Akiva

I've had a FriendFeed gadget in my Gmail left column for ages ;) - Tinfoil 2.0

+1 Louis. Gmail, FriendFeed, Facebook.. Amazing job and ideas, Paul! - Thierry R. Andriamirado

@Fatih, it's a joke - Özkan Altuner

Three times and it's true. - aldenoneil

I guess I care more about ideas than specific instantiations. Hopefully they'll make the ui more like FriendFeed though :) - Paul Buchheit

Paul - I hope so too! - Susan Beebe

I agree with Paul. - Akiva

Agree Paul - current UX a tad clunky. - Hutch Carpenter

I want a FriendFeed in *my* Gmail ;( - Rah-PM 2012

Buzz even captures the Friendfeed comments and displays em in Gmail. whoa. - chrisofspades

Facebook(Gmail(Friendfeed(YoDawg()))) - Micah

Rahsheen, be sure to reload Gmail -- it doesn't show up automatically (or at least it didn't for me). - Paul Buchheit

Buzz is being rolled out slowly, over the next few days for the "non social media elite" (yes, sorry, it's true) - Christopher Galtenberg

You gotta be kidding me. I was the FIRST person Robert followed on Cliqset. I'm a social media god! - Akiva

chrisofspades, how are you getting Friendfeed into Buzz? - Kenton

Not in mine, yet. - DGentry

Kenton, it just showed up as one of the sites I could connect. maybe because I have my friendfeed connected to my Google profile? - chrisofspades

Yeah, I just noticed that that is how it picks those sites. I've added FF to my profile and I'll see if it comes through. - Kenton

Akiva - LOL :D - Susan Beebe

I WANT a FF in my gmail. How do I get it? - Claudia Petrilli

i can use it on phone, but not on PC. LAME - Jeff (Team マクダジ )

I was watching the announcement with my brother and I kept saying "just like Friendfeed", "just like Friendfeed", "just like Friendfeed" ... - Alejandro

STILL not showing up in mine!!! It does show up on my iPhone. I've been playing with it for the past hour, but really wish I could see in in a real web browser on a real computer! - Jeff P. Henderson

Jeff same problem here. Very frustrating! - BRҰANSAҰS

its like Pauls child FF reunion with its elder brother gmail :) - sirishkumar

Very funny post, Paul! - Michael Fidler

Not quite FriendFeed but close. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Paul, one thing that I am sure to miss on Buzz is, not being able to see all the awesome Googler's and Xoogler's feeds that I see here on Friendfeed. I wish there is someway Buzz remedies this. Really bummed about this. :( - Space Cowboy

Paul, same feeling here, but now that I see buzz map in iPhone/web app, that's pretty cool stuff. - Orlando Pozo

Paul, we need something like buzz map for friendfeed ;). - Orlando Pozo

Paul, Gbuzz privacy settings really suck, even blocking and reporting people as spammers don't work :S - Orlando Pozo from iPhone

Paul, did you know Google was working on Buzz when you sold FriendFeed? - Richard Cunningham

I love how friendfeed, with all of the love and effort that all of us have vested in it, gets to keep on reaching new places, even if it's not *exactly* FF. Nice one. - Iain Baker

Somehow BBS's aren't as portable as websites -- I closed mine when we moved as well. The final version was a 64kb Kaypro II with dual 170kb floppies running my own Z80-assembler BBS code acting as a Fidonet node. Gah, that dates me :D - John Mueller

If you weren't compiling your own BBS and running a Fidonet node you weren't a real BBS! Email? Who needs email if you've got Fidomail? - Reto Meier

Imagine spending your life as a Captcha, like Arlabl does. You only get around 5 seconds to ever show yourself to somebody, and you'll probably be hated for those 5 seconds.

One thing they got wrong: by 2012, Paul will have started his own country southwest of Alaska on an artificial island. It'll be called Free Festivusland, and it'll get the top-level domain “ff”. FriendFeed will then be http://ff/ — no dots or coms or nets or orgs. - Amit Patel

I think the web will be voice and audio driven in 10 years, or at least it will be available. There's even some startup now that can sense nerve pulses to the vocal chords to know what you'll say before you actually say it. - Mike Reynolds
