That’s right, I’m changing up the headline. Instead of “Episode XX Recap” I’m going for something a little more creative. Don’t try and stop me. I’m out of control. However, I will say here that this is the official Quick’n'Dirty Podcast recap of our lovely episode 12.
During our brief hiatus last week my partner in crime, Aaron Strout, posted the “Best of Quick’n'Dirty,” which highlighted all of the fun we’ve had over our first eleven episodes (Listen: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10 11). We came back with a bang during episode 12 (if I do say so myself) with a very special guest – Paul Buchheit, co-founder of FriendFeed and innovator extraordinare. Paul talked about the transition from FriendFeed to Facebook, all of the innovation left for Facebook to do, and about how if he had to announce the acquisition over again, he’d do it in a way that wouldn’t scare FriendFeed loyalists. If you want more, you’ll have to listen to the interview.
Other fun stuff:
- Social Network: We talked about Foursquare. Yes, again. Why? Because when we discussed it some weeks ago I was being snotty about it, saying that I didn’t see the value. I was capital-W wrong about that one. Now I am an addicted user of beloved Foursquare. I’m a superuser! I’m a mayor! I want more points! I even go out just so I can check in somewhere new.
- Featured Twitterer: And this week we highlighted my former co-worker and current performance management thought leader Nenshad Bardoliwalla (@nenshad). He knows how enterprise technology and enterprise 2.0 operates better than most people I know. Definitely worth a follow.
- Point / Counterpoint: So, our duel this week was about iPhone versus BlackBerry. Aaron is an iPhone user and I’m a #blackberryloyalist, as I say on Twitter. We talked about reliability, apps, the touchscreen keyboard and AT&T. I also made some pretty snarky comments, but what else is new?
Tune in next week when we’ll, well, it’ll be a surprise. Remember you can always listen to the replays or find us on iTunes by searching for “QuicknDirty.”
recaps of all eleven, they are here… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10 11

Aaron has a long history of convincing people that “no, really, you should try that and here’s why” – he talked me into using Twitter almost 2 years ago and it has completely changed how I think about marketing and communications. I’m not sure that FourSquare will have *quite* that effect but it is definitely some serious social lubrication :)
