Robert Scoble and I ran into freshly-acquired FriendFeed cofounder Paul Buchheit at a brunch on Sunday. I pulled out my trusty Android myTouch and with his permission asked him a few questions about the sale to Facebook a week ago.
Apologies for the audio quality - Powerset's Barney Pell, BillShrink's Peter Pham and others were chatting loudly nearby (which led to a side discussion with Pell on the exact price Microsoft paid for Powerset in 2008). A full transcript of the interview is below.
A few interesting details came out of the interview with Buchheit. First, the deal was actually signed on Sunday evening (August 9), and these pictures were in fact taken that evening, he says.
Buchheit also says that the WSJ got the price wrong, but won't give more details. Says Buchheit: "The more people say about the deal, the more wrong they are. There’s a lot of inaccurate things being reported...There have been a lot of details and for some reason, the more details there are the further they get from the truth."
On whether FriendFeed will live on as an independent product:
