    Excellent article by Quentin Hardy about !Gplus "Google+ And The Master Plan" http://ur1.ca/4mnac

    about a year ago from web at San Francisco, California, United States

      @stav Was with him until he called Scoble an "uber-influencer". Who does Scoble influence? Ask 20 people _IRL_ & 19 won't know his name.

      @stav The one outlier will have seen his photograph & think he's Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

      @joshix but he's an "A-list" blogger!

      @stav Anyway, Scoble is the opposite of an influencer. He's a gigantic pilot fish.

      @joshix Agreed. But some technorati can't help themselves and follow his bloggings. I like Quentin Hardy, though.

      @stav Is Hardy kinda lead tech guy @ forbes? B/c their tech reporting is generally pretty intelligent.

      @stav (The reasons for that pretty obvious: Forbes is about $, & they don't buy the change-the-world BS but report from $ angle.)

      @joshix Is this the same Forbes whose mobile app I recently dumped b/c their tech reporting seemed so clueless?

      @joshix He's the Silicon Valley guy (tho' based in SF). There are other techies at Forbes. Also, he called Scoble's !Gplus article "naive".

      @lnxwalt300 I dunno. I'm going to out myself on a bit of polite conversation here and admit that I read almost no tech news...

      @joshix Absolutely, tech is big on Wall Street. It can swing the market!

      @lnxwalt300 ...because I consider _almost_ all tech journalists the worst, frothiest, marketeering-est journalists in the world.

      @stav 'bout the only thing market's got left anymore, eh? Btw, did you see recent Economist debate '"resolved: we're in a tech bubble"?

      @joshix We are in a mild tech bubble (eg. Pandora not exactly setting market on fire). BUT, we need bubbles. Good for !jobs & the !economy.

      @stav Tend to agree. Cycling overlapping bubbles was the Clinton genius.

      @stav However, that Clinton way also included money for people other than just investment bankers.

    • Stav Prodromou Stav Prodromou President Barack Obama , joshix

      @joshix Yes. Clinton was ultimate bubble hypester. Kept talking upbeat after he beat Bush 41. Market loved it. !Obama needs to do the same.

      about a year ago
    • Stav Prodromou Stav Prodromou President Barack Obama

      More personal and market income meant more revenues for Clinton to dole out. Again, !Obama needs to emulate Slick Willy. Talk positive!

      @stav Those bubbles only benefit a few who get in and get out before the crash. Most people are hurt more than helped. #economy

      @stav Obama can't make people feel anything. Makes me feel like I'm in the back of a lecture hall in a 400-seat poli sci class. Zzzz.

      @joshix Actually, I agree. Tech journalists are unabashed fanboys, if they know anything at all.

      @lnxwalt300 Like @zach & I were talking about some time back, very little tech news is written by the journos or outlets. It's advertorial.

      @lnxwalt300 I know because I've written an embarrassing amount of it, bought & paid by the company doing the selling.
