Paul Buchheit People Quotations

We created the 'Like' feature in FriendFeed because I realized that people wanted an easy way to let others know that they saw what their friends posted and appreciated it. Putting in those simple little gestures is very powerful.

I think the best kind of virality is a product that people like so much that they just want to tell people about it.

Only my phone number and email are private because I don't want random people calling me. But I like the ability to share everything.

Part of the excitement was just seeing how the world would respond. I kind of like uncertainty to some extent, because it's a little bit of suspense and excitement and adventure, almost, right? And you can learn a lot even if things don't work out. But not everyone likes adventure. A lot of people seem to be against uncertainty, actually. In all areas of life.

I like writing code. I like building product. I like making things that people like.
