Here's what I asked myself:

how are you?

we're going to talk about diso today? is that right?

what is diso?

you say it's a social network, so how would it work with wordpress?

how is this different from myspace or facebook?

so who's involved in this project?

so what comes next?

how is this different than opensocial?

what's going to be the big win for diso?

so do you see this model applying in any other domain on the web?

what kind of support do you need?

are you talking to any of the bigger social networks? like facebook or myspace?

so who cares?

how will you draw customers away from myspace or facebook?

any last thoughts?

    It would have been a better interview if you did it like the way Colbert does his.

    I really want that friendslist portability.

    You know what would be even cooler? If when some people become friends on ClaimID they are friends everywhere automatically. This would be such a time saver. Less time doing the "paperwork" part and more time doing the real social networking.

    Interesting. I think I like the basic idea, but the context of friending is still important. For example, just because we might be friends on IconBuffet, that doesn't necessarily mean that we should be friends on the 1337 Sailors Website, etc.

    To draw an analogy, I should be able to cut and paste between any applications; that doesn't mean that when I copy something to memory it should automatically paste to the next application I switch to.

    I realized once that the best part about new projects is to have a chance to build a brand new FAQ (twitter.com/fczuardi/statuses/348696012). But you really took FAQs up to a whole new level with this schizophrenic video faq! :)
