in It's Easy to Say Startups Suck When You Have Never Started One on Loic Le Meur
Loic
I really appreciate that you had the cahones to start this conversation, I followed it up but it was your seesmic video that got me thinking.
Looking forward to shaking your hand on this matter in San Francisco this week

Louis
This happened to me last year
I didn't give someone the attention they felt they deserved and they made my (and my company) life a misery. I think there is no right or wrong way to deal with this owing to the fact that you cannot be dealing with a sensible person.
In my case I had to acknowledge the person (and their encyclopaedic knowledge of the mobile industry despite having never worked in it) and they eventually went away. Hope it sorts itself out and you can get back to normality.

in Twhirl is raising funds at a $4.2 million valuation on Loic Le Meur
Lol
Nice to see the humour in this post, now if I could calculate my total tweets per month as a factor of total overall tweets, maybe I could raise some funds on my username.
its @patphelan by the way

in Twitter’s cost in productivity? Zero on Mathew's comments
Matthew
Thanks for the post, if I had wanted to join the techmeme troll parade I think a post on Scoble/Facebook he loves it/he loves it not would probably have been an easy way to do it.
The really dumb part of your post was your assumption that my analysis confirmed that Twitter was a waste of time.
Never in the post did I say mention that Twitter was a waste of time but just point ed out the time usage, in fact I am a huge Twitter fan and everyday user.

mathewi A fair point, Pat. You may not have said Twitter was a waste of time,
but unless I'm mistaken, the whole point of your post was to put a
dollar value on lost productivity as a result of Twitter use, so I
think the implication is obvious.

in Twitter's business model (Scripting News) on Scripting News
I believe that over-simplifies it slightly Dave
Twitter's issue is not the USA where users pay to recieve a text but the rest of the world where SMS costs are in the region of 10c per unit.
With Twitter having recently reduced the SMS limit to 250 a month they are still looking at a negative $25 per user per month outside of the USA.
I believe like you there are numerous ways to make Twitter pay and I think we may be seeing the first of these in this qtr.
Nevertheless I totally agree with you on being the original guy and think Evan and Biz will do very well out of Twitter.
Just no Facebook to buy Twitter rumours please :-)
