Sometimes bad publicity is bad publicity. That’s funny, I stopped at “Cheezhead’s Jobster’s Mysterious Video Deletion.” and looked for more dirt on Jobster. Sometimes bad publicity is bad publicity.

]]> Comment on Facebook: Calacanis Smokes Crack; Scoble Gets It by Dennis Howlett http://www.chezpete.com/techblog/2007/07/29/facebook-calacanis-smokes-crack-scoble-gets-it/#comment-10 Dennis Howlett Sun, 29 Jul 2007 21:15:24 +0000 http://www.chezpete.com/techblog/2007/07/29/facebook-calacanis-smokes-crack-scoble-gets-it/#comment-10 I'm wary of what Calacanis says as I see him as an unashamed attention whore. At the moment he has Mahalo on the go and is looking for attention. What better way to sell that message (which is all about the personal and not the digital) than by deriding Facebook? But - there is always the potential for exhaustion from other things happening at Facebook.

The last paragraph. I have a point in my head that I just can't articulate just now. (ok here goes...) Maybe we're going through some sort of an evolution. We had Friendster..then MySpace...and with the developer platform all of a sudden Facebook looks like it's going to dominate. (I don't know where LinkedIn fits here). But then maybe Facebook got it just right...and then maybe it will be that way for a while and there won't be any innovation like you said...but then one could also say that period of lull is just because users are content for a while...and then when we reach the point of discontent again maybe something else will come along...the next Facebook. I guess the bigger question then would be how long that period of contentment will last. Kinda says something about the term "revolutionary." It really isn't "revolutionary" if everything else around you is going through it. You can cause a ripple only when the water is calm. I don't think any of that made any sense. A very insightful post.
