in A tale of two photos on Flickr on Scobleizer
Robert,
Decided the Hugh @ LVCC pic was so good, that I had to have it as the skydome on my compiz-fusion desktop:

The image of my four-sided cube desktop (and all of my open apps) floating over the LVCC (and Hugh's head) is pretty cool.
Thanks for capturing the moment.

The interesting thing is that the Technorati curve appears to follow a shallow version of the Gartner Hype Cycle.

in Mowser stats for January - RussellBeattie.com on Russell Beattie's Blog Forum
90% of that U.S. slice is probably me. I use the site pretty much every day for something. I often bookmark my "mowed" sites. For example, m.technorati.com is broken, but putting s.technorati.com through mowser works like a charm.

in 2008 - The Year of the Small Idea on Marketing Begins At Home
Good one, David. To my way of thinking, the so-called "big idea" certainly has its place, but 98% companies are going to find that many such ideas are going to be the equivalent of France's Maginot Line -- easily outflanked.

in My Apologies to my friends and colleagues in Chicago on The Marketing Technology Blog
Sorry you couldn't make it! It was a heck of a panel. Lots of good stories, advice, and humor. This is my second time on a Josh-moderated panel and he was great.

in Don’t believe the hype on Marketing Begins At Home
Well-said...
Arrington still hasn't thanked me for the copy of "Fire In The Valley" that I sent him, just so he could learn that there was a silicon valley before 1995. Ingrate...

An extra effort, but it was totally worth it. Is this something that can be kept up, I wonder?

in Research is great, but Twitter is shipping… on Scobleizer
> Why? Well, it’s the iteration of
> things that gets us involved.
That's what people in this space like to *say*, I guess, but there's often a value judgment when it comes to the source. In other words... The degree to which the "release early, release often" ethic is championed by people who claim to value this publicly iterative approach depends *highly* on the product and who is producing it.

in Political use of social media: Edwards (1); Obama (.5); Clinton (NA) on Scobleizer
I'm in Chicago as I write this, so I'm trying to follow "Obamania" as close as I can.
My only question is this: Howard "Yeeagh!" Dean taught us that the social-media-geneity of a candidate isn't the best -- or even a "good" -- measure of a candidate's ability to get elected or even nominated.
What steps can we recommend to this year's candidates that would help them (and their supporters) avoid that trap?

in Newsflash: 98% don’t use RSS on Scobleizer
It's for this reason that I became a big fan of FeedBlitz. It pings your feed and serves it up as an opt-in email.
I personally prefer RSS as a delivery vehicle, but I realize it's not for everyone.

in Linux’ achilles heel: fonts on Scobleizer
I'm in full agreement with "Dileepa P" (#4). Mandrake 8.1 was great. The Drakfont tool was very easy to use, if I remember right. I never looked at subsequent releases, but I remember hearing tales of things breaking between 8.1 and 8.2.
I'm using Ubuntu now at home, but I was just talking to my buddy Tim about moving to Kubuntu. (Uses KDE desktop instead of Gnome.)
Right now, my main interface problem is getting Ubuntu to work in 1440x900. None of the remedies I've googled seem to work.
Haven't tried to migrate fonts yet either. We'll see how *that* goes.

in #29: I gave Douglas Engelbart a mouse and a book on Scobleizer
You can find the RealVideo of Dr. Engelbart's groundbreaking 1968 demonstration here, for which he quite deservedly received a standing ovation.
http://sloan.stanford.edu/MouseSite/
I did PR for SRI (agency side) from '97-'02 and had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Engelbart several times.
I have a number of stories of Dr. Engelbart, but what always struck me was his frustration that people were simply satisfied with his innovations from decades ago, forgetting that there is *so* much improvement to be made. "Sure, we've gone from here to here, but we have THIS FAR to go!" he once said in 2001, continuing with "That's why I'm grey -- I'm really only forty."
Honestly, people's tendency to tie Dr. Engelbart to the invention of the mouse (to the exclusion of almost everything else) is akin to reducing Edison's entire ouevre to the light bulb.
Or... As one wag put it (paraphrasing): "I don't know what Silicon Valley will do when it runs out of Doug Engelbart's ideas."
