Name dropping! Ask him about verified accounts.
- Benjamin Taylor
Or you could ask him how he is reacting to the fact that his service is now the go-to for breaking news in Iran. A historic day for them. But I'm sure asking about spam updates is important too. Geesh!
- Mike
@ev must be marveling over the responses Robert is getting on FriendFeed over this!
- Michael Forian
Tell him sorry I couldn't be there this time
- Jesse Stay
We are at the Ritz firering and I was talking with my friend Luke about how Twitter is kicking ass over CNN and Ev said "what about Twitter?" I am trying to figure out how to give him shit about suggested followers. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I'm curious as to what he thinks about Google's microblogging search
- Shawn Farner
Will you not stoop to any level Robert? lol! I would love to know about long term platform/architecture stability if you guys are still hanging out.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
:-) You should teach him how to do searches on FF so he can really see what people are saying about Twitter. I should get me one of those Palm Pres -when I saw one jailbroken the other day with a "modprobe" line I was hooked
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
guruvan, you should have supplied a few sample ff-searchpaths right here, so Scoble wouldn't have to bother beyond clicking while @ev stirs at the outflow mouth agape.

ianf: was the tail end of the conversation - not enough time (but you're right) -it's pretty late here in NY too.

Robert: Back in the 1970's, when he was living in London, Arnie (The Governator) - Visited the gym where I boxed. I was about 10 and he said "This kids gonna go a long way - he's got an attitude!"
- Jim Connolly
Ouriel: it was very surreal because Twitter is on the cover of Time Magazine, is the hottest thing on the Internet right now, totally kicked CNN's behind yesterday in Iranian coverage, and @ev just pops up in my life unexpectedly.
- Robert Scoble
I'm a bit surprise it's surreal for you Scoble. I think it's awesome and probably exciting, but not so far from reality you lives in.
- Orli Yakuel
Orli: my life is surreal often, but I wasn't expecting to run into @ev in my backyard tonight. At least not at this moment in time. I think yesterday will be remembered as an important day on Twitter for a very long time. CNN is off the rails.
- Robert Scoble
I guess this whole twitter experience is surreal for @ev too :)
- Orli Yakuel
Orli: plus, I have been pretty damn critical of Twitter lately, which made our chance meeting even stranger and just a bit uncomfortable. Which added to the experience.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: it's not that @ev is a complete stranger to the spam festival in his service, so I guess he has some sort of understanding to the critics around.
- Nir Ben Yona
Doubly surreal for those of us with lower profiles, Robert. :) But in a good way.
