FFunderlings,

After much consideration and heavy heartedness, a few tears, some lingering man-hugs and one or two moob brushes, we have decided to put the show on extended hiatus for the foreseeable future.

As you know, FFundercats has always been a boot-strapped organisation. Pressures with work, dedication required for our families and as a commitment to you, we have decided to take a long break. At this moment we can’t dedicate the time required to do the show, and FriendFeed, true justice.

Will we be back? More than likely. But we won’t be back until we can give it a red hot poke. If we are going to waste your time, we would like to put some effort into it.

When Facebook bought FriendFeed, we made a promise to go down with the ship and we will honour that promise. Josh just needs to draw a picture of Kate Winslet’s boobies and Johnny needs to have steamy hot sex with Leonardo DiCaprio in a ye olde car.

Mark may or may not still be on the bow of ship, singing adult-contemporary ballads… well… he is Canadian and his heart goes on… and on… and on.

We have been spoiled with the amazing support you have given us, and we are very grateful for it. Many of you have been there for us since Episode 1, which truly testifies to your threshold for pain.

We’ll still be around, doing this and that. Just that it will be at times other than 8pm Central/11am-the-next-day in Brisbane.

Love, Peace and Aloha,

Josh and Johnny
FFundercats

In this episode: GLENMODE ACTIVATED! We (and by ‘we’ I mean ‘I’ since Johnny had to get his hair done this week) get to sit down with Glen Campbell of Yahoo! News. We talk about how he made his way in Silicon Valley and talk about his podcast On Garner Road in which he interviews various people from around the web (so far, Friendfeed users) as well as how to become a multimedia superstar on Friendfeed. We discuss topics from Friendfeed from the past week. We also attempt to play an ukulele duet version of Stairway to Heaven on 2 ukuleles. Well, one each.
