The tone of that exchange struck me as very naïve. Furthermore, the entire thing seems like “transparency theatre”, in that I suspect the only people in the world who give a hoot about what went down during the interview are the participants themselves.
Time to put down the Scoble koolaid and do transparency where it counts.
- GuiA 13y agoTransparency is one of those things where more is always better. Even if your assumption were true and no one cared about the content but the participants, how would that be a bad thing? Chad Whitacre created something really clever and novel with Gittip. In the light of your harsh words, can you claim as much? :)
- whit537 13y ago> Time to put down the Scoble koolaid and do transparency where it counts. Okay. Where does it count?
- randall 13y agoIt really depends on what you're trying to do. I think running gittip as an art project / science experiment is good for them... but does missing a mention in techcrunch positively affect the outcome of their business? Business / product design / commerce / fashion is all about making compromises to further a larger vision. Art / science is all about a POV / exploring. I think that's where it differs.
- erikpukinskis 13y agoSentences of the form "(business/art) are all about _____" are ludicrous. Do you really think that all businesses share a single aboutness attribute?
