So glad Tom came on.
Loïc has kept his mouth shut because he is busy consulting lawyers, PR Agents, and other people to make sure his ass is well covered.
Sounds like that would require full body armour.
Very interesting chat with Tom. I see events like this as a sign of the time: business geeks with ideas above their station and parasitical politicians trying to be cool wid it ruin things for the rest of us.
I guess the essence of that is nothing new, it’s just now this is happening on a “blog” or (supposed) unconference near you.
Cunts.
I think Scoble is so popular ’cause he worked at Microsoft and comes across in his posts as being a “normal” guy…not preachy or geeky-er than thou.
Domain names are not an impressive gift for the geek in your life.
Then you are dating the wrong (wo)man.
They can be a bitch to wrap.
The TV without Frontiers threat to videoblogging etc seems to have been avoided, for now:

Unfortunately I have little doubt that at some point in the future, FCC and EU etc will look at this stuff again. The politics of control have not diminished, theres no reason to think they will turn a blind eye in future. Already in the Uk there have been ominous noises about needing to control the net more because terrorists are using it!
Can you imagine the internet existing at the same time as the cold war? That would of been interesting!
What’s wrong with the homepage, Madge? When I visit the yeastradio.com homepage, following the redirect to podshow, I hear this annoying ticking noise every few seconds, the ticking sound that indicates the page is forcefully refreshed. Generally this is done to serve new ads, but this would be a rather fast change for ad impressions.
