In light of today’s news about Facebook buying up Friendfeed Louis Gray and myself decided this would be an opportune time to launch a new podcast relating to Social Media. These podcasts aren’t long drown out affair but rather quick little 20 minute snapshots of discussions about some hot topic to do with Social Media that catches out eye.
In this case it was the news that Facebook had decided it was time to remove a thorn from its side and buy Friendfeed. This podcast is out short discussion examining some of the why’s and wherefores of the deal.
Hope you will enjoy it – Louis and I did.
So far as I can tell, the podcast can only be played online via the embedded player and cannot be downloaded to play on an iPod. Am I just being dense?
Neat podcast. Both of your thoughts on Google Wave make a lot of sense, especially FriendFeed realizing they couldn't compete alone – which probably influenced their decision to sell while they had the chance.
