It was similar to Facebook but not the same. KS: What happened that it didn't succeed? Because there were a bunch - there was Friendster, it was all friend oriented. I always joke it was like the Apple Newton of social networks where the product itself didn't succeed but it did influence - we invented the "Like" button, the way we did commenting sort of made its way into a lot of other social networks. And then I stayed through mid 2007 and then started a relatively unsuccessful social network called FriendFeed. I don't think we anticipated the response. I think when we launched it was like six of us. We also acquired Keyhole, which became Google Earth.

KS: And here to interview Bret with me is Recode's Senior Social Media Editor Kurt Wagner. He's also a board member at Twitter now and was formerly the CTO of Facebook. Quip was a corporate collaboration service that just a few weeks ago was bought by Salesforce for $750 million.
