Re: Plausible Deniability Just Doesn't Cut It Mr Arrington

Very good analysis of the issues. I totally agree with you. Mike writes, 'the event organizers had it all wrong' and then continues, 'i read 10% of my email' and when asked by Rick if he'll do the show says, 'I said sure, if we can work out the details.'

Re: flickr images in space and time

I've played with the flickr geomap tool a bit and I'm not sure I totally get the value.

If your pics are of a time and place that you want geotargeted...it's sorta obvious where the pics were taken in the first place.

Techcrunch for example.

Great UI and integration of flickr...I just think there may be a better use for it.

Happy New Year to you David. May next year bring you lots of smiles and not as many dust-bunnies as last year. :)

I agree with your thoughts on Jewish funerals and Yom Kippur will always bring back the thoughts of wearing dress shoes that are too tight (since only being worn 1x a year.) I think a healthy dose of Yoga thrown into any religion could help anyone ... I find it more spiritually lifting than any traditional service I've sat through.

Re: Pissing off the blogosphere…

marc — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 19:12:26 -0000

Robert,
It seems like it's wishful thinking to *expect* your competitors to link to you for better reporting on a topic. At the end of the day, the sites you take issue with are your competitors. As far as I can tell, they did not steal your content and not credit you...they reported on the same story you did but did not link to you for more in-depth coverage. [Your point that you posted :30 minutes before they did is not material since they could have had more editorial review processes to go through including legal...which you probably do not.] Hoping they'd do this is one thing...but expecting them to and calling them out for not doing it... I don't think that's appropriate.

Because of your rant, I watched the video tour. It was interesting and entertaining. Perhaps that was the end-goal...

You create great content...you competitors shouldn't be expected to pimp it for you.

best,
marc

Re: Has Microsoft caught up to Google in search?

marc — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 02:38:04 -0000

Search is a commodity. Yahoo! and Google's SERP's are nearly identical to the un-trained (non-SEO) eye. Have a look: http://twingine.no/search.php?q=scoble&lang=

The difference in market-share comes from brand equity and (more importantly) DISTRIBUTION. People 'google' and advertisers spend budget with Google because of their vast network of publishers who syndicate their SERP's, adsense and domain-related adsense.

If MSN or YHOO wants to win here, they better marketing AND better distribution. The SERPS are just the commodity in this game.

Re: The secret to Twitter

marc — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 11:35:49 -0000

Robert,
I can't disagree with you more. Why not "follow everyone" then? I don't think you following that many people is "authentic." You don't read their tweets... how can you even claim to be following them.

It's a giant river of chatter... you look for the big fish (like Calacanis to borrow your example) and ignore the little fish. I don't follow you because although I've met you in person and think you are quality guy, the relationship with you on Twitter is a waste of attention because your attention is too distracted.

P.S. I don't think you even believe this position you're taking and are only doing it to get more comments to your blog.

Re: Newspapers Commoditizing Web Ad Inventory; Reducing Revenue in the Process

The real question is how are ad networks helping/hurting web-publishers (and their shareholders) and what will Yahoo's new network mean to all this once it has ramped up to full speed and continues to scale?

Re: Why I Stopped Using Twitter

marc — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 02:36:51 -0000

twitter users fall into two camps. People that add/follow anyone and those that only add their friends.

twitter has too much noise when you add anyone that adds you... be more deliberate and twitter has real utility.

going a step deeper...you also can divide those you follow into web-only updates and SMS notices...that too can make a difference in the utility.

YOU control the utility... saying twitter is a massive waste of time only points to your application of the tool...not to the app itself.

Re: How Do You Network on Different Social Sites?

marc — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 09:11:03 -0000

1) Linked-in used to be pure. Made up of those I only knew in "real-life." I've break that rule more often than I'd like if the background of the person sounds interesting and I think the connection can be mutually beneficial (read: beneficial to me since they've already determined they think it would be beneficial to them.)

2) Facebook. I hold a strong line here. I only 'add' people that I know. Period. End of story. I know people put 'value' against their network in sheer size but I prefer quality of network over that other perceived value because a) I appreciate the cleanliness of my FB in-box (only email in there is from people that won't spam me.) b) I have more personal information contained on FB than 'just my resume' so I therefore want to keep those links, pics, thoughts, videos, etc. slightly more protected from people I don't know.
