A new definition of ignorance - no Twitter!
- michael_dorfman 18y agoScoble is fast on his way to becoming the Dvorak of his generation.
- dennykmiu 18y agoI actually remember John C from the days when he wrote for PC Magazine (I am only four years younger than him). I enjoyed his writing and I even enjoy him as a guest host on TWIT. I would argue that Dvorak is quite different from Scoble. John reads a lot, knows a few things in depth and has original thoughts of his own.
- m0nty 18y ago"Hint: sitting on a couch and drinking beer isn’t going to help me get to my goal." That's ignorant: saying that someone who doesn't have this guy's whizzy high-tech lifestyle is just a couch-potato with zero motivation. Technology used to be about productivity, but most of what happens now has nothing to do with work -- it's about fun. It would have been better if this guy had just admitted that rather than writing 2000 words of nothing much at all.
- greyman 18y agoI think that Mr. Bob has very valid points, but the question is whether Scoble is the right person to address them to - for him it's a job to play with new tech and review it. Anyway, it's interesting that Bob has a 3-letter .com domain registered (bly.com), so he isn't that much behindhand as it might look.
- GHFigs 18y agoIn this post, Scoble writes 1200+ words on how awesome it is to be Scoble. A flock of smug webcocks eat it up and pat each other on the back for being so on top of things and not "ignorant" like the poor deluded soul that had the gall to send email (email! how quaint!) suggesting that the Emperor might be looking a tad scandalous.
- Tichy 18y agoWhat cell phone is he using? Edit: I found some references to a Nokia N82, is that it? Sounds good anyway.
- axod 18y agoUsing twitter to keep up with the Mars Rover??? why oh why...
- snorkel 18y agoIf the rover had crashed and stopped responding then that somehow would seem appropriate.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI think he rather succinctly managed to prove the opposite of his point.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI do especially like "Is it better to change Milan’s diapers or answer another email?" I think diapers are a little more time-sensitive than just about any email. Ok, a lot more time-sensitive.
