DISQUS

Robert, can you please look into the feed and make it work on miro?
your podtechshow used to work just fine.

Feed of scobleizertv seems to be not working in miro.

mal abgesehen davon, dass die Idee eines Printmagazins über das Web an sich schon recht abstrus ist, zeigt die Frage, dass man dort offensichtlich keine Ahnung hat, worüber man schreiben könnte.
Man sollte sich dort mal die Wired zu Gemüte führen.

wow, shocking.

No, seriously. does that surprise anyone? It actually says nothing about webadvertising but it says something about advertising. just because these kind of numbers are available for webadvertising doesn't mean it is per se worse than say tv-ads. what do you think would be the clickthrough-rate on tv-ads if there were any and it would be measureable? exactly.
webadvertising comes with two more features than the normal ads from the analog age:
1. people can click through to the product
2. targeting can be made way better (long tail yadda yadda)

that is spot on.
Some time ago I started filtering some of the feeds I'm subscribed to. For example I can't stand Duncan Rileys posts on techcrunch. so I filter them out.
All the emerging teamblogs are throwing out way too much posts per day and forgetting a few very important lessons in blogging:
1. Blogs also function as filters. There is no such thing as filtering then you publish 10+ posts per day on news in your niche.
2. I started reading blogs like techcrunch because of the voice. arrington was good, really good, in tracking down hot new startups. and eventually he became an authority. now, then you bring in new authors you have to be really careful because you can easily water down what the blog used to be about. readwriteweb does a stellar job in hiring great blogger. techcrunch recently not so (imho).

a lot of the hassle would be solved if blogs with high output would provide topicrelated feeds -channels so to speak-.

but still, the landscape is changing. (funny thing is we here in germany are around 2 or 3 years behind and it's interersting to watch those different states of blogging evolving)

like a commenter on techcrunch said:
"So to sum up, it’s a unrealistic rumor, reported by a fake blogger who heard it somewhere, supported by nobody else and you reprint it, without asking for a statement from Scoble? And now you ask PodTech to open up their finances so that you are happy?! You really can’t be serious about that."

Techcrunch is really going downhill a bit these days. It's not even in my highpriority-folder in greader anymore. ah well

It's really interesting that everyone always jumps on podtech. why is that so?
and why didn't the peeps at techcrunch call you? thought you knew each other. this is all going to make it into Daniel Lyons upcoming book :D

btw. love your videos. keep it up. (although I prefer them shorter, like the edited highlights-videos from your producer)

"Usually while I’m sleeping Europe and Asia are going full tilt."

that goes the other way round as well. I live in Germany and I follow you and some others from the US (like dave, marshall kirkpatrick and some more), usually around 3:00 to 4:00pm the US-people start to kick in. until then it's mostly us europeans for me. :)
the funny thing is: even more than with blogging, twitter brought to me this subconcsiousnesslike sense of one earth, of people being connected on the planet everythere. I mean a few years back I really didn't think about different timezones and all, why should I had to anyway. Now I get remembered of that every day, most of the time (when being online and yaddayadda).

that sounds stupidly pathetic and probably doesn't make any sense. :)

Guter Tipp. Danke!

Or like Techcrunch linking to the crunchbase-entry instead of the actual website they review. which starts to annoy me big time

Good arguments, Robert. You miss one point though: probably only a small minority has houndreds of friends on facebook. And you're probably the first and only one yet to reach the 5000-Limit.
As the Facebook-Team focuses on a network based on real-life-contacts maybe their main priority isn't Scalability in those high, everestlike areas?

The newsfeed actually shows when someone removes an app.

"I bet the next social network is actually going to look at Flickr to see if there’s any photos of us hanging out together."

you'd be really out of luck if you were a German then. :D


(btw. the flickr-riot is still going on here in Germany)
