I am so sorry, but I have to say this because it is what came to my mind when I watched it: Robert 'Scobleizer' Scoble is, most likely, an asshole.
And that's what I can read all over PG's body language throughout the video.
And again, I'm sorry for this mini-rant.
- randallsquared 16y agoI have to say this because it is what came to my mind when I watched it You have to say this because it came to mind? Really?
- jaxn 16y agoIn my very limited interaction with Robert Scoble I have found the opposite to be true. I found him to be open and a good listener.
- blasdel 16y agoHe sure as hell wasn't at Startup School 2009 -- he was bouncing up and down in his seat during the presentations raring at the bit to be an asshole, and interrupted several in just about the rudest possible way (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=901438 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=901438).
- kloncks 16y agoI think whatever you saw is probably due to the fact that this was a very quick interview done outside in an impromptu way. PG's body language could have meant a million other things. Scoble's one of the greatest advocates of startups and not just in Silicon Valley, so I'll strongly disagree with the "asshole" description.
- chunkbot 16y agoI'm a great advocate of startups, but I'm also the first to admit I'm an asshole.
- AmericanOP 16y agoDon't confuse asshole qualities with competence and status. Scoble is one of the most wanted people in SV.
- guelo 16y agoI was a little annoyed when he interrupted Paul with unnecessary laughter a couple times, but that's probably just because I want to hear everything pg has to say.
