CEans,

We are addicted to Gmail. We eat, drink & sleep Gmail. So we began our hunt for the engineer who created it. We found out that the creator of Gmail is also the creator of Adsense - Internet's #1 website monetization program. We seached more and found out that the creator of Gmail & Adsense is also the man who gave Google its world famous tagline "Don't Be Evil". We digged deeper and found out that the man behind Gmail, Adsense, 'Don't Be Evil' is also the man behind FriendFeed! We requested him for a Small Talk and he agreed. We jumped with joy.

We are extremely proud and happy to have the engineer who changed the world forever - Mr. Paul Buchheit. Check out our Small Talk with Mr. Paul Buchheit:-

I liked his answers. We all should learn something from "launch fast and iterate". 😀

Great interview 😀

I liked this=- "For me, work is much more enjoyable if I know that it matters to other people and that it's somehow improving their life."

I liked only one thing of my use.

"A lot of times people think that hard problems demand complex solutions, but we've found that the opposite is often the case, because complex things quickly become unmanageable and incomprehensible"

I completely agree with it and I think all CEans here should follow it in their life also. 😀

PS: Well, this reminded me of one of my old thread also.😉

Excellent interview.

"I just wanted something that was different and memorable and that would make people a little uncomfortable"

I liked the above sentence very much !!! so we can make people uncomfortable sometimes to make something good 😀😀

NICE INTERVIEW
"I think empirical and experimental methods tend to work the best because the world is simply too complex to predict what will happen in advance"
because its real the experimental methods will output the best results

I really admire the way google always keeps most of its product in Beta stage and how google labs comes up with new features almost every week !!

would have loved to ask him to elaborate more about this ability to throw more feature enhancements on gmail etc...

Mr. Buchheit does not work for Google anymore. He's focused on Friendfeed now 😀
