What's wrong with geek elitism? Geeks are in fact a dominating[1] group in society, atleast on an intellectual scale.
[1] Have you noticed that half the population is below average?
- thadeus_venture 15y agoIt's tiring because it's unjustified. There is a spectrum of users, not two separate sets. Scoble is saying what he is saying because it's emotionally satisfying for him to feel like he is part of some elite, while basically he is just a well known blogger. The tone in this article reinforces my prior suspicion that he is a douche. Such hubris also clouds his judgement apparently, as I disagree with him on who will adopt this. G+ currently has the potential to be a completely mainstream product.
