Last week I wrote about FriendFeed and why I think there are good and bad parts of the service. Today NYC venture capitalist Fred Wilson posted an article which is worth reading where he basically agrees with me regarding the centralization of the conversation input.

I’ve put together the video below to go over my thoughts on the topic. The bottom line is that there’s no reason why FriendFeed can’t aggregate the comments from all of the sources and then allow the conversation to remain on the content creator’s location. It doesn’t matter if it’s photos, videos, text, audio, whatever, the conversation should be "centralized in, decentralized out." Will this work in 100% of the scenarios? Of course not but it will work in more than any other and probably 90%+ and is worth discussing. This model doesn’t take any additional time over commenting in FriendFeed. Rather than go on here, please view the video.

Most importantly it allows everyone to participate in the entire conversation and when that happens, we all win.
