I was watching this video of Robert Scoble discussing his feed reading system. I found it quite interesting and Scoble, as always, seems so honest and enthusiastic about what he does. You can tell he really loves it. Nice.
Of course there were snippets that undoubtedly would rile up some segment of small struggling tech bloggers, […]

Kent Newsome asks the question:
“What is so much better about Facebook (and MySpace and other similar platforms) than an ordinary blog on a popular platform- say WordPress?”
I joined Facebook a little over a month ago - and while it does have it’s uses, it in no way would serve as a replacement for this blog […]
