P.S. The couch doesn't seem too bad. I'd guess it's closer to the computwitter, isn't it? ;)
Nice to see you back Robert, did I see somewhere you are attending VON, if so will see you there
Your video sucks
As Kathy Sierra would say (well, sort of), you're not in trouble when people talk crap about you. You're in trouble when people simply do NOT talk about you at all.
I dunno...maybe it's cool for older people to know every little move you make? Governments should be proud that people are effectively choosing to join survailance networks...who needs privacy anyway hahah ;)
Sounds like it could be popular among teens but I'm a bit surprised at the popularity in the older generation.
BTW, thanks for adding me to your cast o' thousands the other day. Appreciated.
AND... I'll be in Long Beach March 30 - April 4. Any chance of a get together? Long shot... I know.

It's a creative challenge to myself to come up with a new idea for a startup each day, inspired by the fantastic work that Steve Poland is doing over on www.techquilashots.com and the stuff going on at Cambrian House.
1) Letting your social circle know where you're going? "We're hanging out at XXX this Friday..."
2) Reporting even little events as they happen.
"Bad traffic accident on the ##. Find another route." "It's a Boy!!" "Dad just hit a hole in one!!" "Derek Jeter just walked in to our restaurant..."
3) Making it truly possible to liveblog. Rather than wait until after some event happens to read someone's liveblog - we can see it happen in real time.
_______ is almost the same as Facebook's "status" feature.
We are even integrating it into our social media public relations plans for select clients. (One of them wants to test using it to send coupons to customers phones - "show us the coupon and get...")

And I would definitely disagree with you. One mention about how Twitter is awesome from the likes of you or Steve Rubel is worth more than 1,000 hate posts from little guys like me. Notice that most of the Twitter-hate is not coming from A-list bloggers- you guys all love it, because you have thousands of adoring fans(would they be called Twits?) In conclusion, your opinions suck :)
I must disagree with your "pay to hate" service. That's similar to Mark Cuban's "there's no such thing as bad PR." If people are hearing about a product or service for the first time, they will associate the negativity of criticism with the product and they will likely form a negative impression of the product. That goes double if it is from a source that they trust. Opposite works too. So if all the heavy hitters were bashing twitter all weekend, I have a feeling there wouldn't be as much band-wagoning. In the end, it will take a lot to overcome that negativity if the impression is encoded. So I would not sign up with the "pay for hate" service.
Just another 'cult of personality' central service, more fun for the connected party people or group events, over much real world use.
@Robert - couch works, as long as it's the red one.
@Ilya - I am calling them Twats: http://lagesse.org/index.php/2007/03/14/twitter...
Rob

From a "follower" and not a "friend" :-(

1)Maryam rules! Hope the couch is comfy.
2)Your videos don't suck!
3)The T-word doesn't suck either, but I loved it for its immediacy at the event rather more than its sanity. I don't know that I could keep it up and have a day job. :)
4) there's enough hate in the world without having to pay for it.
5) I see a future that combines the T-word with the ZeFrank approach. 5 second video real-time from people.
Your wife is right Robert.
I'm not married but my girl told me she'll format my drives if I don't remove the sms notive service :)
mobile cell phone providers should be frothing over this but I'm also interested in seeing what happens when the spammer crowd finds ways to join in on multiple devices...
As those that "don't get it" being "twats". clever. But we get it. Group text messaging with history. With the ability of spammers to chime in. What am I missing?
I'm not being paid by any company other than PodTech and I will also disclose anytime that changes.
Also, spammers? Demonstrates you don't use it. If one shows up I simply "unfriend" that account.
But something i disagree on my own is Robert's hype about twitter.
I was on it. No longer on it. I didn't find my life was being "enriched" and I found it hard to hang out with "stars"
But most marketers don't get this. They want everything in a nice tidy press release that's been proofed by 15 executives and revised at least 20 times. Press releases no longer serve their purpose, in my opinion. 99% of them are DOA. You can instantly tell if a magazine, newspaper or blog article was pulled from a press release - because they're so damn bland, and usually avoid any kind of critical discourse.
