What you all are missing about Google
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 04, 2008
I’m surprised that even Kara Swisher has missed this. The bloggers are going nuts, once again, over the email that a Google lawyer sent to Microsoft regarding Microsoft’s proposed purchase of Yahoo.Here’s what’s really going on:1. Google doesn’t mind this deal going through at all. Google knows they will be able to outrun a “Microhoo.” Why do they know that? Because they’ve been...

Microsoft researchers make me cry
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 14, 2008
It’s not often that I see software that really changes my world. It’s even rarer that I see software that I know will change the world my sons live in. I can count those times pretty easily. The first time I saw an Apple II in 1977. When Richard Cameron showed me Apple’s Hypercard. Microsoft’s Excel. Aldus’ Pagemaker. And something called Photoshop, all in his West Valley Community...

What made me cry: Microsoft’s World Wide Telescope
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 27, 2008
Lots of people are asking me questions about what made me cry at Microsoft a few weeks ago.If I told you “a telescope” you’d make fun of me, right? Tell me I’m lame and that I don’t deserve to be a geek and that I should run away and join the circus, right?Well, that’s what I saw.Or, more accurately, the World Wide Telescope.Like I said, sounds lame. How could that possibly be the...

What to do if you’re laid off in 2008 recession
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on January 23, 2008
It’s sad to hear about layoffs at companies like Yahoo. Right now it seems like a bad time to be laid off. I’m here to offer some hope.I laid myself off in February 2002. Remember that time? It was far worse than what we’ve seen so far in the economic turmoil of 2008. It seemed like EVERYONE was laid off. There was even a Website, fuckedcompany.com, that tracked layoff after layoff. No good...

Google starts linking social networks
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 01, 2008
Let’s see. I’m on Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress, Upcoming, Pownce, Plaxo, Yelp, MySpace, Flickr, Dopplr, and a few others.The problem? They don’t know about each other.Google, today, with its new Social Graph API, is trying to hook all of those together. Another problem? If you’re a developer and build a “foograph” your new application doesn’t have anyone on it. There’s nothing...

Hanging out with a fast company (emphasis on fast)
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 19, 2008
OK, I see the challenge is on. Jason Calacanis, founder/CEO of Mahalo, tonight, told me he had to find something better that whatever I saw at Microsoft last week that made me cry. I didn’t realize just how far he’d go to outdo Microsoft.What I experienced tonight made it impossible to cry.Why?Well, let’s just say that my tear ducts are now implanted on the back of my skull.So, what did...

The shy Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on January 26, 2008
Yesterday morning I woke up early. Was sitting in the hotel lobby at 7 a.m. trying to check email when someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Mark Zuckerberg, founder/CEO of Facebook, which now has 68 million active users (people who’ve signed on in the past 30 days).He invited me to a breakfast with Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf. We walked together to the breakfast, which was...

Google Reader’s new “share note” feature: the video review
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Shared by Robert Scoble One thing is FriendFeed now says it is importing these headlines. I wish these comments had a LOT more features.I love the idea of Google Reader’s new “share note” feature, but find it lacking in implementation — watch along in this video review.What’s really wrong with it?1. It’s breaking on my machines. No way to cancel note that I can see, and UI is not...

Microsoft to buy Yahoo: Ray Ozzie roars
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 01, 2008
OK, everyone is already talking about Microsoft buying Yahoo. But what I find interesting is that Bill Gates is out and now Ray Ozzie is roaring. Microsoft has been so damn boring since I left in June of 2006. This shoots the boring in the head.Why is “Microhoo” not boring?No, not my pet service Flickr. But, damn, Gates could have bought that for $40 million. Instead Ray and Kevin had to...

Twitter integration the new shiznit
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 01, 2008
Lots of systems are integrating into Twitter. The Qik.com live cell phone streaming system lets me tell my Twitter followers that I’m sending live streaming video. I just hit “55″ on my phone and it automatically sends a message to Twitter.Now Kyte.tv is doing the same thing.Twitter could become the new presence infrastructure company if this trend continues. You might never even read...
