in Google Offers Mobile Friend Finder With Latitude Service (But Not For The iPhone) on Thom Allen Weblog
I'm not at all surprised that Google didn't build this with the iPhone in mind. Google and Apple are very competitive in the mobile space.

Phil Windley I'll have to give that some thought. That would be a good topic.

in CommuterLink Is Looking Pretty Tired on Windley's Technometria
I got stuck in Provo Canyon trying to get to Heber and finally drove around through SLC later that night. I was equally disappointed in the lack of information on the closure. I had my wife looking for information online, I was listening to the radio and looking for info over my blackberry. Nothing.

In this day and age there is no excuse for that.

in Yellowstone, Jackson Hole Trip on Stay N' Alive

Great post. I just spent a few days in Jackson and I loved it - my new favorite place! I'm planning my next rip now. As part of that I think we'll stay in Jackson and use that as a base camp to explore Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Fun stuff!

Albert Einstein said:

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

So don't be shy about putting out new theories. Frankly, most of the world couldn't give a crap about Dave Winer and Danny Sullivan. Most of the people who went after you are nobodies. Wired magazine's content gets worse and worse so who cares about them as well. In the valley, we tend to get wrapped up in our echo chamber. Most of the world couldn't care less about any of this.

Here's my advice for what its worth:

-In the future bounce theories off other people to get their take. If they agree then make it a collaborative effort. Just think if you could have pulled guys like Dave Winer and Danny Sullivan into the mix and they agreed with you on this. Think of how powerful it would have been for the three of you to present the theory together. At least the Valley would be paying attention.

-Forget Calacanis. People are sick of him. Anytime you introduce him into the picture its going to automatically piss off a lot of people who will come after you for just that one thing. I think you need to distance yourself from Jason.

-Make sure you have your facts and stats straight - valleywag sucks but they legitimately took you down on this point.

-People are not as excited about techmeme and Facebook as you think they are.

-RSS isn't that cool. Its only been adopted by 5% of Internet users. RSS may never cross the chasm. Its time for technologist to realize that.

-On an off topic note, I think your star is much brighter than Podtech. Podtech is working against you at this point in your career. I hope you are thinking about your options here.

For what its worth, keep up the good work and good attitude. People still respect you for having an opinion and no one will care about all this in a week.
