DISQUS

speaking of "community," what i find intriguing is that we're still chattering about a non-event more than two days after the arrington post. hats off to arrington, though. when it comes to stoking an artificial flame to draw clicks, he does it perhaps better than all the rest. but that has always troubled me. i don't pay much attention to techmeme as a accurate barometer of web influence - but it does generate a self-reinforcing effect within that circle of posters/readers. but the pack journalism nature of the exercise is dreadful to watch. it's almost like clockwork. first arrington posts, then scoble adds a paragraph, then dave winer, maybe you, too, matthew, and all the others, etc. etc. it's conversation but - well, i'll leave it to the community to decide whether it's important conversation, or just artifically ginned up for the sake of drawing clicks to a particular web site

he had a great post but it makes no difference whether it appears on techmeme. that site is full of so much self serving whining and garbage that it's totally irrelevant to all but the tiny circle jerk which infest it

hahahahahaha.

you naied it.

arrington & scoble...are there two more untalented blowhards in the blog universe. amazing that they've come to dominate the conversation. sigh. i suppose that's a talent.

but kudos to you for calling their BS

as a reader, i don't have access to these guys. i wish you had actually interviewed the people at friendfeed rather than reprint what these blowhards have to say. i can't speak for other readers but i prfer gettingthe straight scoop, not the derivative stuff. they're just being lazy, talking about people talking about other people talking. ad infinitum
