If Arrington truly saw it coming, as he implies that any rational person would have, wouldn't he have had a chat with the founder of a company he invested in letting him know he should prepare for this?
- benologist 17y agoMy favourite part is this: "As long as we keep moving and innovating and both partners treat each other in a fair way, I think we will all be safe, the hole is big enough and there are many other holes." Now that everyone can see it coming even if they're not Arrington .... the solution is to be agile and build other things on top of their platform.
- qeorge 17y agoSeems a little nitpicky. Arrington was one of many investors in Seesmic a long time ago, when the idea was video comments. I actually think its pretty cool that he's not pulling any punches here. And "seeing it coming" or not, the Twitter client seems like its working much better for Seesmic than the video comments idea ever did. I think they should just keep plugging away, doing things that Twitter won't do (such as running a ping.fm-like service).
