Of course it is. But your post was snobby too. - Robert Scoble

here we go again... - Alex von Halem

He could have linked to a Seagate site. (j/k) Actually, the conversation will fragment whether we like it or not. - Ontario Emperor

Exactly. Those who want control will rarely find what they are looking for. You gain control by giving it away. - Robert Scoble

Scoble, right or wrong is "authentic", Risley, not so much. - Robert Seidman

"Those who want control will rarely find what they are looking for. You gain control by giving it away. " Scoble is right here. When people are proprietary about things, photos, the conversation, comments, it will always backfire. Robert is one of the most popular bloggers out there. It's like karma. - Thomas Hawk

I don't see any @scobleizer snoobery here at all ... http://tinyurl.com/5fpgdu - Mike Reynolds

He wanted the Google Juice that comes with a link directly to the post. Me? I didn't want to give it to him. That's the snobbery. - Robert Scoble

Very well said, Thomas. Robert, I like the "No Scoble Google Juice for you!" thinking. - Robert Seidman

Blood and ashes, this is turning into junior high. We have the right to discuss a post wherever we darn well please. If I post to my blog, and find a discussion about that somewhere else, I say "Cool!" not "They really should be discussing it on my site." - Brent Newhall

If we can perfect the technology so that it's easy to find all of these conversations, then most of the objections to conversation fragmentation will go away. - Ontario Emperor

Don't care about the Google juice, Scoble. Just surprised you did. - David Risley
