He has a very unique perspective on that situation.
Exciting that he is coming to Ycombinator full time. Expecting some interesting Ask PB threads in the future.

#3I wish Paul would have elaborated more on the Google/Facebook pissing contest. Having worked at both companies at the level Paul has, I would imagine he has insight into the personalities that are pressing the issues. Then again, it looks like Paul got to work on what he wanted to, which didn't involve this new conflict.
Edit: Or maybe confidentiality agreements with each company prevent him from giving a public opinion right now.

#6I read in another article today that a lot of Googlers are interested in switching to Facebook, reason being the possibility of considerable financial gain post Facebook's IPO.
I think Paul has written about his thoughts about [money](http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-to-do-with-you... "Paul Buchheit: What to do with your millions") before, just curious to know if money was at all in his calculations this time around

It's awesome until you're trying to build stuff for clients on their platform.

Q: Do you have any thoughts about the contacts sharing spat between Google and Facebook?
A: It's entertaining.
Q: How did the offer from Y Combinator come about?
Either the interview was edited because they couldn't get anything else out of Paul on this topic, or the interviewer was skipping class the day they taught how to ask follow-up questions at journalism school.
