You aren't worthy of a flame from me.
Are.
A.
Zune.
(was that pretty good? ;) I hate being mean...)
Oh, and tell the cameraman with the neckbeard he is cool too.
So are you admitting that you're not People-Ready???
And I think you should consider giving me an invite for coming to Leah's defense ;)
sorry you asked for it
And you're one of them.
You can keep Pownce and your invites.*
Oh, and *truly* sorry about the whole ponce thing up there. I just looked up the word in Dashboard's dictionary app, and I hadn't realized how offensive it is...
I have to say I'm curious, though: if a ponce is "a man who lives off a prostitute's earnings," how is that different from a pimp? Or is this ponce of a man somehow the prostitute's charity case (like the Dan Akroyd character in Trading Places)? Anyone?
This is exactly the reason I quoted to argue against Pownce becoming a twitter/jaiku killer. (http://tinyurl.com/3d3gjk). Way too many social networking apps, taking the fun out of the whole process.
I did indeed email the joost.com guys and got an early invite out of it. And then the (Dutch) founders proceeded to tell everyone the name should be pronounced 'jewst', when it's actually 'yohst'.
But I take that a little too personal :)
an elegant aggregator for all our existing social networks, one that looks/feels like a designed environment rather than a clumsy mashup, would be the obvious thing.
not an insult, i know. sorry, i already tossed too many in my regular life today.
Your new nickname? Uncle Junior.
Your haircut? Just like Grandma's.
Your reason for being? So I can *blame you* as the stock default when things don't go my way.
And if you need one more, here's one from the nine-year-old:
I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're not as cool as you think you are...
As for the insult, I only insult people when they deserve to be put down. And as a Dutchman, i'll even insult people without knowing it ;)
So what's next for Scoble? Leo mentioned he will NOT be getting an iPhone so I imagine we'll see Scoble camping out in front of the Apple store waiting for the iPhone release just to ensure additonal bragging right. :-)

The Robert Scoble corporation is turning into Microsoft.. (well minus the billions of dollars and pink zunes)
Where do all you people find other people to be social with on these services? None of my physical friends are even the slightest bit interested in this sort of thing, which would make Pownce pretty useless to me. The closest I would come is my wife's recent infatuation with Facebook (which I'm not on), and even that is a stretch.
I don't know if it's because I'm in Australia, or because I'm geeky/techy and my friends aren't or because I don't work in the IT industry or whatever, but I find social networks to be somewhat cold and distant. I'm often left with the feeling that most of these recent 2.0 phenomenons seem to me to be based in North America and eventually, maybe, they will filter out more broadly from there.
It all seems to be passing me by...
I'll still wait until the morning to see if anyone can outdo you.
Seriously, I'm on all of these things so you can always try them out with me.
"Robert Scoble , leading industry social letchworker pimps out yet another desperate attempt to demonstrate his public value. His generous offer of 4, count them ! 4 invites to the latest Cool social networking tool Pownce. Robert if you really need 4 more friends to make up your 7 dwarves social networking can we suggest some Yahoo CEOs whose time is going spare, you'll be in good company"

" I cnt beeleef dat Rose wud nvite scobal, Rose why r u doing this to us? Scobal is such a micro$ft fan boy he wont show it da respec it deserves"
In the Style of [old style wired publications ]Wired:
"[from page 43] We shall see. Robert Scoble industry opionineer and tech journal..[cont page 16]. [From pag 10] How well this will go down is yet to be seen [ cont page 40]. BUY BIG CARS . [From page 4] ist takes a new spin on fanboyism buy asking to be insulted whilst he offers invites to POWNCE [cont page 34]. [from 10 issues ago ] . . . " * yep theres no insult, this is WIRED magazine , no one gets insulted !
In the Style of Jason Calacanis:
" If anyone thinks that Robert Scoble is being anything less than a Social Networking pimp handing out invites to he latest social hotness Pownce then hes smoking the hard candy and no mistake. If you look closely at my Mahalo search page http://mahalo.com/RobertScobleSocialNetworkWhore you can still see he in no way eclipses the level of interest and friendship I have generated, so here you go Robert here the first down payment on that twitter friends collection"

"Cmon Robert this isnt news its not even fun with 200 pre approved friend invites on the new apple IPhone theres never going to be anything more interesting than playing with this iphone and if you cant see that your living back in the days when it was safe to by IBM and Altavista was the one true search page. Oh and one more thing: Free Pownce invites with every iPhone"
What, they're not over?
Robert is the next unibomber - he will continue his "roid" rage pumped up on every social network he can push into his veins until he does finally run away to the mountains, grow a really long beard, build a fortified "camp" and literally mail bomb any one who ever signed up as his friend on one of these new fangled contraptions.
Dear Sir, while I understand that the decline* of TechCrunch is upsetting. Hacking into poor Robert's blog and turning his readers against him is an unspeakable tactic. It does you no honor. Also, what gave you away is the promotion of ponce. Couldn't help yourself - could you?.

Robert Scoble, you are Dvorak's brown Zune.
(hey, its the best i can come up with at 1AM!)
Sure, you're on them, or any number of other well known "web celeb" but that only makes it possible to try things out. Isn't the real driver for these services interaction with your friends? I mean, you seem nice and all but what is the chance of any substantial or meaningful interaction on a personal level? (that doesn't sound right, but hopefully my point gets across)
Maybe I'm just being a whiny shut-in because since my son was born just over a year ago the only time I manage to get out of the house is to go to work or play soccer (even that is only 6 months of the year). Limited social interaction on many fronts. Raising a child completely separated from extended family is a considerable time sink.
I probably should just get out more.
Your business plan makes pets.com look like amazon.com
"Sod off you most disagreeable orifice of the rectal area."
How's that?
ok, don't kill me... are you related to that oscar winner who played that guy?
you know the one.
the one that would claim not to be related to you, but likely are, yes, him.
"are you related to your twin brother?"
Your mind is so open - so open that ideas simply pass through it.
You're the stupid person's idea of a clever person.
Robert Scoble: The only genius with an IQ of 60.
Robert, are you always this stupid or are you making a special effort today?
Brains aren't everything. In fact in your case they're nothing
Don't let you mind wander - it's far too small to be let out on its own
I don't know what makes you so dumb but it really works
Second is looking at who's on the social network and seeing what they have in common with you (technology, web 2.0, photography, podcasting, etc.). Once you find someone who looks interesting, check out their friends and you'll find other people of interest. You can also following interesting people (like Scoble and Dave Winer) to find out who/what is attracting their attention in real-time.
I don't think you have to be based in North America to get involved with social networks.
4. A robot may injure Scoble or, through inaction, allow Scoble to come to harm.
He'd be GINGER! Snickering and FAT!
Should you not believe me so,
Check this page - I nailed him on this and showed you that fat, wailing, ginger minger of a cat years ago :-)

1. If a bird tweeted as much as Scoble, it would have a seizure.
2. Rumour has it that Robert Scoble's life and identity on earth will in a small matter of time cease to exist, and will only be visible via lifestreams on the internets.
3. If the narcissystem were a UPS package, Scoble would be half-way to New York by now.
4. Number of internet friends Scoble has: 67 jillion; number of friends he actually knows: 7.
5. If Scoble were a web browser, he'd be NCSA Mosaic: old, slow, and without style[s].
6. If Scoble were an operating system, he'd be

French insult are the best !! ( All it's just joke of course )
After all, if the bulk of traffic happens while I'm asleep, it's hard to not feel a little out of the loop at times :)
I don't care. This wouldn't have been news 4 years ago.
Scoble stop being the whiney arrogant person you are about everything. There's a rehab center out there for your problem.
Or if your looking for a classic:
Your mom blogs better than you.
The reality is the people who read your stuff, and even your close (real life) friends only associate themselves with you because they feel sorry for you. It's like they are doing their "good deed"....giving the bum by the road a dollar or two, not for the bum, but so they feel good about the life they live...and how it's better than the miserable bum.
I hope you get it together before your child enters the world. What kind of role model are you really? Then again, maybe a new child will give you the motivation for life instead of this childish popularity contest.
Ya, the contest is over ah? That means I don't care about your stupid invite for a service I don't want or need.

:P
MySpace looks better than you!
eh...
That's about what I would expect since you used M$crosoft as a platform to launch your husky ass to a level of attention a walking talking BM like yourself should have only achieved in their own masturbatory fantasies.
Plus I heard from Mike Godwin that your a Nazi.
