Great interview. Personally, I’m very big on FriendFeed and Twitter. Duncan sounds like he’s very much coming from the content producer side.

Nice to hear him talk a little bit about mg at venture beat as well. also his idea that broad blogs rather than blog networks might see a lot of growth.

Having a family myself, I agree with Duncan that he needs to get his weekend back. Family first!

FriendFeed is good for a few things

1. If you want people who use it to read your content, and you don’t have an account, they would have to create an “imaginary” account.
Think of it as providing an RSS or email subscription on your blog

2. I have seen people who don’t use SU share or like content that has appeared in Friendfeed – if that helps others then great

3. Links – though Technorati don’t seem to like indexing the content, it will provide data for Google et al

I hope Michael finds another writer who has an interesting point of view. Looking forward to the new blogs.
