Re: When You Comment, Show Some Class

Totally agree, especially when it adds nothing to the post, the conversation or anything at all. But it takes all sorts to make the world go round :)

Thanks for coming by Andrew!

Re: Who Do You Think I Should Interview For The First Mixergy Book?

scottpurdie — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:33:44 -0000

Ah right, another great one is the guys at 37signals, but maybe their story has been heard too much but they are always good for a tip.

To be honest it would be cool to hear about people i havent heard of before, thats why i like Mixergy so much.

Cheers Mike,

What im doing now is using tumblr as the library for all the brilliant stuff. Re-blogging everything wasnt practical and it could look bad.

Thanks for the kind words and offering a helping hand.

Hey Mike, my blog includes content that has really helped me get going as an entrepreneur in tech.

I’m just sharing what might help a new guy who needs a hand. I’m linking to the original posts so a newbie can go by and see even more awesome content that can help them kick ass.

Its more of an appreciation of their brilliance than poaching.

Your blog looks great.

Thanks for leaving me a comment Mike.

Hey Loic, I think the whipping is coming from people who are shitting themselves and want everyone to feel like that. Your attitude to taking the company forward is awesome. Id just love to see you making money!

Cheers

Re: First Thoughts On The N95

Qik and Kyte work great for me - Kyte probably tips the scales because they load pictures too. Iv got the N95, the UI is miles away from competing with the IPhone.

Edinburgh Fringe - Stephen K Amos is a brilliant comedian worth seeing perform at The Pleasance.

Hi Fred, I use O2 and they have a load of bolt-ons. I bought the N95 sim free and use a pay as you go sim, but add monthly bolt-ons depending on what i think il be needing. http://www.o2.co.uk/mobiles...

I stay just outside Edinburgh in Roslin, if you need any advice about Edinburgh, il do my best to help out. Edinburgh at Fringe time is awesome.

Re: PR secrets? bullshit.

scottpurdie — Mon, 26 May 2008 08:33:41 -0000

Awesome, Loic. I think most people want to communicate like they would in a face to face conversation, minus the jargon and bollocks. Its adding fluff to a business or product, probably because its not good enough.

I admire that you get involved and are honest in your post and comment with people, it shows your listening. Its a habit il get addicted to i think.

Cheers

Scott

Its refreshing to read and see a company that is listening to users and updating their service. That in itself is a massive lesson to a lot startups. Great advice from Loic and Jason. Cheers. Scott

Re: Loic Le Meur Blog: Seesmic du Jour 147: Successful copy cats

scottpurdie — Fri, 16 May 2008 08:29:51 -0000

I think its innovative, as long as they are twisting the idea to fit their target markets - like the Spanish Digg. Do we still call them copycat ideas if they become better than what they copied? I think most peoples problem with it, is the word copycat.

Re: My reasons why video comments will work (and why you have to try and give them a chance)

scottpurdie — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:17:23 -0000

Another positive is that there are people who can express themselves better by talking, rather than writing!

Re: Disqus and Seesmic Pair Up For Video Comments

scottpurdie — Wed, 14 May 2008 13:17:38 -0000

I think its great - as well as what Scoblrizer said, you also get to see someones passion, style and actually have a conversation, im starting on Seesmic soon and I think il be able to state my thoughts and opinions better through video. I prefer to present than write!

Re: Loic Le Meur Blog: Where should an entrepreneur start a business: Europe, USA or Asia?

scottpurdie — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:37:09 -0000

The revenue focus is popular in Britain, especially with the strong financial industry here. Is there anything, in your opinion, that Europeans do better than in the Valley?

Re: Loic Le Meur Blog: Where should an entrepreneur start a business: Europe, USA or Asia?

scottpurdie — Mon, 12 May 2008 11:51:57 -0000

Hi Loic, Im from Sunny Scotland and I think it makes sense to start a new business from the valley. For me, im a business grad and trying to find a great team to build a new web business is tough. One example is the adoption of a new idea, Scot's seem to be scared to make a mistake and i think new ideas are better received in the US, especially with the strength of the community. Cheers, Scott Purdie
