FriendFeed update. Paul Buchheit wrote me and... - Robert Scoble

I don't know if that's a good idea for you, Robert. You might be better off making a clean break from FriendFeed. - Bruce Lewis

Thanks Robert, that's great news! Paul, hope you feel better... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Bruce: FriendFeed=Facebook. So, I'm interested in what he's doing and I'm a big fan of Facebook's. Twitter needs some competition. The Fail Whale is getting to me. - Robert Scoble

Another reliable update. - ashish

I know it's a stretch but can we gather specific questions for Paul to answer? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

When other sites like twitter come out with new features, you want to be at the front of the excited crowd. FriendFeed will make you into that curmudgeon who's always saying, "So what? They did that two years ago at FriendFeed." - Bruce Lewis

I guess the rusty wheel gets the oil... - Cjay

Cjay: I've been working on this interview since before Facebook bought FriendFeed. :-) - Robert Scoble

manielse: well, the interview isn't on 100% yet and now that I've talked about it in public who knows what will happen? But if it does happen of course we'll get you involved. - Robert Scoble

Cjay: I might be a rusty wheel, but remember two things: 1. I put many many thousands of hours into FriendFeed before the sale, bringing my audience over here at great risk to my personal brand. Lots of "experts" like Mike Arrington told me I was wrong to do that. 2. I'm still here. - Robert Scoble

OMGAWWWWW he still has "it" - sofarsoShawn

oh im sorry Robert thats "The squeaky wheel gets the oil first" hehe, wasnt saying your are getting old or anything. - Cjay

I hope Paul gets to feeling better soon. He's a great guy. - Phil G from iPhone

sofarso: I never lost it. :-) - Robert Scoble

But yes I would agree that allowing and or resting your personal branding on a service thats based on a cloud application with it's roots depending on a social network model is very risky. - Cjay

Cjay: actually it's not. It just looks risky. - Robert Scoble

To those giving Scoble crap for being on FF, aren't you tired of that? You all have been doing that for at least a year. Enough. For us on FF, we'd love to see an interview, thanks. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Paul, get well soon - Shane

Well, I'm done for tonight. Thanks you Robert for the chat... - Cjay

Good luck for the interview, Robert and thanks for the update. Hope Paul gets better soon. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Thanks everyone. I'm actually not "very sick" though, just "kind of sick" -- it's mostly messing up my sleep. - Paul Buchheit from iPhone

be well! - Laura Norvig

Chicken soup - but stay away from those soul books ;) Hope you're up to speed soon, Paul. - Micah Wittman

Looking at the time-scale, doesn't that actually answer the question? You don;t wait THAT long to deliver good news or to debunk a false rumour that killings your platform (well, Zucks platform). - Jim Connolly

Paul - sorry to hear that! (it's 2:30 am here, I can empathize with your sleep problem) - Susan Beebe from BuddyFeed

Eric, sorry if it sounded like I was giving him crap. That wasn't my intention. I think Scobleizer has a serious career decision to make: http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin... - Bruce Lewis

The problem i see is that social network cloud applications seem to live in peoples heads rent free. - Cjay

Hope you feel better, Paul. - Kol Tregaskes

That will be an interesting interview, thanks for posting this update. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Can't wait for the interview!! Thanks to you and Paul for keeping us updated!! - Rosemary Sorg

:? - CW™

Robert, you will never leave FriendFeed as long it is here:) - Patrik Johansson

+1 Patrik - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Robert, do you think Twitter is too unreliable or do you think the competition is healthy? - John Cass

Feel better soon, Paul! - Ruchira S. Datta
