At Supernova I got a chance to sit down and talk with Bret Taylor of Freindfeed, which, along with Seesmic, is one of the most interesting silicon valley web startups. Friendfeed enables conversations around media objects such as twitter messages, favorited news items, and blog posts. My friendfeed ID is therefore. Here’s part 1 of the discussion.

my favorite videos from the Real Time Exhibition.

I’ve been experimenting with Seesmic, which is a form of threaded video conversations. It extracts the kind of reply-to conversations that have sprung up on YouTube in the last few years. The environment makes me want to be absurdist and performative. This is because every kind of recording (audio or video) I’ve ever done has always been some form of performance, so the tendency is still there with Seesmic. Basically on this night, my first on the platform, I turned myself into a caricature or avatar. The full thread with responses is here. btw on the last video when the blue light goes out that was an accident. The light is my screen saver and it went to sleep mode.
