in Wired? Tired? Linkbaiting? I wish on Scobleizer
I think this video got the hype because this is the area that people are paying attention to. Where is search going - where is the attention going to end up.

You said a lot of things that were controversial and kid of out there, but it struck a chord because that's what people care about. Who is going to be the next Google? What is search going to look like in four years? Nobody knows, but you stuck you neck out there and took a guess. Will it be right? i don't think so. But at least it got us talking about it. If I really want to know about the future of search I'll listen to John Battelle. If I want to get some more crazy ideas, I'll listen to you again. And that's a compliment, by the way.

Mad props, and it was great chatting on kyle last night. (I think this is the longest comment i have ever made on a blog.)

in TripAdvisor Growing With Help of User Generated Content on Marketing Pilgrim
Actually when it comes to user participation, it's not the 80-20 rule. It's the Participation Inequality Rule (aka the 90-9-1 rule):

"In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action."

See: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/participation_ine...

in Digg StumblesUpon a New Way to Engage Community on Marketing Pilgrim
I don't really think it is StumbleUpon they are copying. What they describe is really just a recommendation engine, which has been around since web 1.0 days. If anything it's Amazon they are copying. Amazon probably has the biggest, most popular recommendation engine around.

in Cingular and Apple Dropped the SEO Ball with iPhone on Marketing Pilgrim
Well, apple now appears to have the #1 and #2 spots on Google. AT least when I do the search.

in Will Pligg Be the End of Digg? on Marketing Pilgrim
I think there are quite a few gaps in Digg that other sites can fill and take a little of the growth from Digg. "Tech" is still a huge vertical and narrower niches could find attract some people away from Digg. That's why I have started SEOyak.com, an SEO focused social news site. Digg has been banning a lot SEO sites so there may be some room here.

in Inflating Feedburner Readers to Game Advertisers on Marketing Pilgrim
It seems like this might actually be a bug at pageflake rather than an attempt at gaming, see: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/12/12/pageflakes...
