Remember that time Scoble got his account jacked up by Facebook? Do you remember what was going on in Kenya at the time? All I’m saying is that there are probably much more important things for us to all give a shit about at the moment.

As is my custom, I try to put together a wrap up video for each day I’m here at SxSWi. Today was an interesting day, since I spent so much of it in the studio (and the time I spent at the convention center, most things appeared to still be under construction). I had a great time speaking to a good lineup of guests on the live stream (available over at SiliconANGLE during the days of the festival),...

Chris Brogan wrote Friday, I think it was, about how Twitter’s Lists are a way of resurrecting the “A-List,” and while they’re cool and useful have an exclusionary effect on people. I just took a look into creating my first ever Twitter list. I’m listed on over 1500 at this writing, so I figured I’d give it a go. Immediately, I realized what I’m not going to like about them: they will...

Political neophytes Dave Winer and Robert Scoble have been once again inflicting their beliefs upon the public.  This is not particularly new stuff from them.  Ever since the primary campaigns, Dave and Robert have been showing the world why they should stick to pontificating on technology rather than politics.   Dave Winer's post was entitled "I Am Not a Liberal," and revolved around the mistaken...

Robert Scoble has been hanging out with Mike Arrington a lot lately, or so it would seem. Ever since he was announced as a "TechCrunch Expert" back in mid-August, he's been channeling the fervor and unqualified attacks we generally only see come from Mike after he's been on a three week blogging bender with no sleep. And don't get me wrong - we all know Mike Arrington is a jerk. It's part of the persona...

I've actually never spent a whole lot of time on Fav.or.it. Whenever Louis Gray made a big deal of them a while back, I covered the back and forth and the finer points either side had to make, but I was in a place where I was all full up on early adopting and didn't have a chance to try out the site in great depth, only to look over the feature list and get an idea on how they worked. In my coverage,...

Friday evening, my fellow Mashable writer Steven Hodson sat in on a sort of round-table podcast with Profy writer Cyndy Aleo-Carreira, Inquisitr's (and occasional Mashable contributor) Duncan Riley, and Cyndy's husband (sorry, didn't catch his name!). It's apparently destined to become a weekly thing, and another instance of members of the alleged "rat pack" spidering out into all parts of the blogosphere. I...

The upload process took a lot longer than I expected (I need to encode to a slightly smaller format, apparently), but I managed to eek out an under-produced response to Robert Scoble's assertion that short-form inherently doesn't lend itself to high engagement (and is thus less prone to monetization). We'll test that theory. As I said, leave your comments (video or otherwise) here on the post, and...

I've been tasked to look into Kyte over at Mashable in connection with one of our side projects. I used the product a long time ago, and I'm sure the service has changed radically since then. The last time I used it, it would crash my browser half the time, and the other half, it wouldn't really play anything resembling video. None the less, it sounded like an interesting concept at the time. At...

My site (rizzn.com, for those of you viewing this somewhere else), is undergoing some major changes. Robert Scoble, a few days ago, was talking about his diminished influence via his blog somewhere (probably FriendFeed). That got me to thinking of the value of my personal domain simply displaying only my blog content and a list of headlines of what I write at Mashable. My personal influence is distributed...
