We’re in a death spiral
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Mon, 06 Oct. 2008
The DOW is down about 600 right now. Yahoo Finance has the bad news.
Here’s the deal: many of us are afraid. That fear is changing our behavior (I’m hoarding, aren’t you?). That causes the market to go down.
How does the market stop going down? The death spiral will have to hit the bottom of our fears.
Where do you see

Help, I’m clueless about Web Service scalability
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Mon, 06 Oct. 2008
I’m really freaked out. I have one of the biggest interviews of my life coming up and I’m way under qualified to host it.
It’s on Thursday and it’s about Scalability and Performance of Web Services.
Look at who will be on. Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic, the company behind WordPress (and behind this blog)

So, you need a job? Man, do resumes suck
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Sun, 05 Oct. 2008
Since the economy is slowing down, I’m hearing of lots of you who are getting laid off and looking for jobs. Here’s my experience on the other side of that — being someone who is trying to hire someone.
Fast Company TV is hiring an administrative assistant. We advertised the job Friday morning on Craig’s List (which is where I got

Our disappearing web
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Wed, 01 Oct. 2008
Garret McMahon is right. He looked at the just-put-up “old Google” from 2001 (lots of fun to do searches and see what Google looked like back then, that index was done just a few days after I started blogging) and he noticed that lots of t

This is one contest I don’t care if I lose
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Wed, 01 Oct. 2008
Go help Kara Swisher win. She runs the “D Conference” and deserves to win just because she used one of my naked pictures. :-)

The kind of entrepreneur I like
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Wed, 01 Oct. 2008
Last week we were in Boston and met up with Mukesh Chatter, CEO of MoneyAisle. People ask me the kind of conversation I like having. This is it. A new business that I hadn’t heard of that is adding real value. A smart executive who can explain how it works clearly, cleanly

Economic Idiocy
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Tue, 30 Sep. 2008
Louis Gray nailed it last night when he wrote that there are no experts in this financial crisis.
In the past 18 hours I’ve read literally thousands of posts and have done almost nothing but hang out on FriendFeed. I’ve seen a LOT of idiocy. And these are supposedly from the smart

Salesblogger prepares for downturn
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Tue, 30 Sep. 2008
I met Scott Schnaars yesterday on my tour through Palo Alto. He’s a 15-year sales veteran of the tech industry and is working with Ross Mayfield at SocialText. He told me he’s already been video blogging to other salespeople about how to get through the bad economic times. I watched tonight. It’s not Wine Library TV, but it caught my attention. The name of the blog?

Silicon Valley prepares for financial storm of century
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Tue, 30 Sep. 2008
I was walking around Palo Alto yesterday afternoon, visiting startups to see what the mood is. One scene stuck out for me. I was walking to my car with Tapulous CEO Bart Decrem and a friend of his ran into us in the street and said “nice job getting funding last month.” They make apps for iPhone, including my favorite Twitter iPhone client, Twinkl

Anti-depression thinking: what do we do?
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Mon, 29 Sep. 2008
I’m watching the economic news this morning flow through FriendFeed and I can feel the fear. The depression. Apple is down 14%. Startups won’t get funded. Etc. Etc. It’s all there, if you want to follow along. Lately I’ve been clicking “Like” on a lot of unlikeable news (that’s how I share interesting stuff with yo

Two-word blogging
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Thu, 25 Sep. 2008
Lately I’ve been experimenting with saying less and seeing where that takes us. Today’s two word blog? Depression and Fear.

Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Thu, 25 Sep. 2008
I’m still getting around to see a bunch of cool things here in Boston as I attend the MIT Emerging Technology conference but the coolest thing just might be the badges. They are electronic devices made by nTAG Interactive. First of all they got the visual part right. You can read people’s names from a good way away. It’s amazing how many confere

Canon takes good PR and throws it in the trash
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Tue, 23 Sep. 2008
Amazing, remember last night when we were all slobbering over the new 5D MKII’s video capabilities? Well, today Don MacAskill, CEO of SmugMug, wrote that Canon had forced him to take down the videos. Why? He doesn’t quite know, but says it seems to be around the fact that SmugMug’s HD vi

Gadget lust in times of economic troubles
Robert Scoble via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogge on Tue, 23 Sep. 2008
Damn you Canon. Check out this post from Don MacAskill, CEO of Smugmug. It has all my photographer friends slobbering over themselves over Canon’s new $2,800 DSLR. Me too. I want one of these in the worst way.
