You're like #1 activity-wise on FF, you're the top of the leaderboard on Chris' Geeks site, you've got at least 3 blogs updated on a regular (daily??) basis, and you seem to be active on Facebook and I'm guessing MySpace and probably several other social networks I don't even know about.

Science Proves Exotic Cars Turn Women On | Autopia from Wired.com - http://blog.wired.com/cars...

"David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff -- a measure of their arousal -- after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the charts. The econobox, however, left everyone colder than a January day in Nome. The study was commissioned by the ultra-exclusive British insurer Hiscox (we swear we're not making this up), which was curious to know how people respond to high-end luxury cars."

Heard this story on the radio the other day - the key factor is that women don't give a stuff what the car looks like - it's all about the noise, baby. If you got a little junker of a car, just punch a hole in the exhaust to get the ladies revvin'.....lol

you need proof of this? ask Noam Chomsky and he will change his mind about women in sports cars in 5 years. Guaranteed. The official quote from Chomsky about WMDs in Iraq now is of course there were WMDs in Iraq, because we gave it to them and now we have 50% chance of a dirty bomb going off in the United States in the next 5 years. I still disagree with him... but it makes me want to...

Chomsky: "This is even sometimes discussed. You can find it in the strategic analysis literature. Take, say, the invasion of Iraq again. We're told that they didn't find weapons of mass destruction. Well, that's not exactly correct. They did find weapons of mass destruction, namely, the ones that had been sent to Saddam by the United States, Britain, and others through the 1980s. A lot...

Yuvi, not really :) It is more knowing the underlying psycho-biological process of partner selection :) Females as well as males look for competitive advantages in the other gender. Research proved that females dig more into guys who dance well - the same line of htought - because not many males dance well and those who dance well convey a message of good physical state, coordination, open-mindedness,etc. - messages picked up by females.

Noah, dancing is not the exclusive determinator. IT is only one of many :) In politics and show business - the examples you tampered - I have to say it doesnt much work, as you said:) the reason being that it is either not visible or relevant to what they do (like in politics) or everyone is/becomes good at it (like in show business)! In both cases advantage ceases to be a relevant advantage.
- Hayk H.
my sister is a professional ballerina. She is in the Joffrey. The general behavior of most in the ballet world is one of deciet and sexual disfunction. from wife beaters to cheats... to drug problems. It is not a positive trait for women to see in a man. you are right that there are many variables. Certainly Barishnokov does well... but he does well because he is powerful and he did not do as well with the ladies when he was younger... despite what his bravado might say
- Noah David Simon
on the other hand men do like to see Salome dance and will cut off John's head for it. Dance is confusing. At first it might seem like Michael Jackson is "The King of POP"... but that sexual tension is not there for Bill Gates. I'll take the car over dance skills. Thanks, but no thanks. As Freud said.

Farahnaz, Jeff McNeill, Shivanand Velmurugan and 36 other people liked this
I agree. In no way am I trying to rip on Scoble, I just agree that it is difficult to launch a startup and that you can't just group a bunch together and say they suck. Especially when you are Robert Scoble. Tons of people read what he says and just believe it's true without actually checking. Not that he is wrong all the time. but in this instance, what he says goes a long way and can hurt the companies that are actually good. Maybe I'm off base here, just my two cents as well. :)
- Niall Connellan
I think Robert made a big mistake here. He should not have done this. Judging startups that have not even launched yet by their websites in one minute... come on!
- Loic Le Meur
I don't get it -- if their websites suck (in Scoble's opinion) why shouldn't he say so. (And I have been through it Loic, many times.) People said my websites sucked, sometimes they were right, and sometimes not, but what the fuck, people have opinions, that's just the way it goes. In your world everyone hides what they think, I'd rather live in a world where people are expected to say what they think. We'd solve problems faster. Esp startups who have websites that suck. Maybe they'll fix them and succeed.
- Dave Winer
And Loic, btw, Scoble worked for my startup. Just FYI.
- Dave Winer
hey Dave, yes, people have the right to say startups suck before they even launched and by spending a minute on their website, sure. I also have the right to say my friend Scoble sucks for saying that, right?
- Loic Le Meur
I love your face in the thumbnail for this video, Loic!
- Zach Landes
From what I gather, Scoble was saying the websites suck, not that the actual startups are bad, wasn't he?
- Derrick Kwa
here is the real truth: Opinion never caused a startup to fail. Let Robert say what he will. Let others say what they want. I hope those startups at DEMO bust ass and succeed through effort. I hope the startups at TC50 do the same. Those that allow the stones to break the glass houses deserve to fail epically.
- Micah Baldwin
you are wrong Scoble said they suck, not only the websites: "I just visited every one of these companies. Boy do they almost all suck (at least their Web sites and if their sites suck, I can’t believe their products are going to do much better)" from http://scobleizer.com/2008...
- Loic Le Meur
Loic: I know you're French, but read that again, now read it again, but slower. It implies that I visited the sites, and that the sites suck. I then infer that if your Website sucks, it might infer that your product sucks, but I don't quite cross that line. I'm going to answer you next. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Agree with Zach about the pic, Loic. It's priceless!
- Michelle Trent
Robert, what got me started is this shortcut you made "I can’t believe their products are going to do much better". How can you judge a product not even launched by a crappy website? WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT A COMPANY WEBSITE anyway? I don't even have one for Seesmic. In fact, we're building one, I will ask your advice.
- Loic Le Meur
Loic: my point is that first impressions matter. A lot. My first impression of Seesmic still stands today. My first impression was seeing this really cool conversational video site that was different from any other I had seen previously. Now THAT was a launch. These? Well, OK, let's rejudge them on Friday. See ya then!
- Robert Scoble
Wow, this is getting crazy, I think that people need to understand that everyone comes from a different perspective, Robert Scoble didn't understand the effect this would have on everyone because he has never actually been an entrepreneur. It is not his fault that he has different life experiences than others because everyone takes a different life path and Robert's is as a blogger.
- Andrew Fielding
Loic, everyone cares about a startup's website. It's the first thing most people see when checking out a new product & it has a huge impact on the visitors attitude & vision for what the startup will be - surely you don't disagree with that?
- Zee.
By the way, Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, in a separate post here on FriendFeed, said the same thing that these sites really sucked. So did Andrew Baron, founder of Rocketboom. I'm not alone here.
- Robert Scoble
The fact is Robert made a statement about the quality of the landing pages of these soon to launch products and thought most of them sucked - and frankly I agree. Where he screwed up was he then implied that their actual products/companies sucked too and that's where the uproar lies..it's as simple as that. If Robert was writing for TIME Magazine, this story would be have been reviewed by a half a dozen people before going to publication & that critical error would have been pointed out....
- Zee.
however this is his blog and in the tech/web industry carries almost as much weight at a TIME magazine article and so it's understandable why so many people are pissed off.
- Zee.
Robert, the more you comment, the more I disagree. Nobody gives a shit about a company website. Does Friendfeed have a company website? here is my video comment with more about this http://seesmic.com/video...
- Loic Le Meur
Zee: if I worked at Time the story would have gotten killed because their editors don't care about startups. Oh, and if it were run it would be in four weeks in a back of the magazine where it wouldn't have gotten noticed anyway. But, you are right, it would have been fact checked and edited and all that. That's what happens to my FastCompany magazine column.
- Robert Scoble
Friendfeed does have a company website Loic & it actually looks pretty damn inviting.
- Zee.
Robert thanks for the compliments on Seesmic, really, but this is not a company site, it is our product, that is the whole difference. The startups you are talking about have not even started yet
- Loic Le Meur
Loic: I think we're talking past each other. Let's remeet on Friday and then we'll compare the actual website and product (if they are different -- I don't think they are. Unless you think that Zoho is different from the spreadsheet inside).
- Robert Scoble
Robert, deal.
- Loic Le Meur
Nice to stand-up for the lil' ones trying to be "the little engines that could". Until Scoble comes up with a brand new idea and forks his own dime down for the start-up...then @loiclemeur it appears we've all been *had* by @scobleizer. Scoble just needed another article. plain and simple. yet it's the good fight to stand-up and help the little ones.
- Jes Tu
I think scoble's post will make me and others put more effort into out sites. It's a positive influence on the web. Needed to be said.
- Andrew Warner
Not continuing the discussion Loic?
- Zee.
Loic, I appreciate you standing up for these start-ups here, and I agree with you...being in the middle of the whole startup thing myself, I've found myself to be a real believer in 'get something out there' -- even if its not perfect, polished, and with all that marketing jazz around...I think even Scoble deep down agrees with that
- Michael Broukhim
And before you guys start insisting that sartups can't look any better before they launch, checkout how causecast.org setup their landing page. Quick and easy to create, but it's also a good representaion of the company.
- Andrew Warner
Jes Tu: in my career I have worked at four startups and a fifth small company. I've put my own sweat into these things, which, for me, IS money.
- Robert Scoble
Loic: would you allow a site you were about to launch look like some of these sites?
- Andrew Warner
Michael, surely if you were going to go & spend $18000!!! on a product launch at DEMO. And you knew that your company was going to be mentioned before the actual event...you would create a really well designed intriguing, inviting, impressive landing page which made potential journalists & bloggers think "woah, this look interesting & impressive...i'll look out for these guys".
- Zee.
i gotta say, i'm pissed off Loic has just jacked the debate & discussion...what happened to listening to your community Loic?
- Zee.
Zee: I think there's something to that...I think it's a stretch to extrapolate from suboptimal PR strategies to products and the companies behind them 'sucking' ...there's limited time/$ and a lot of things to do...
- Michael Broukhim
I think its inevitable that we judge a product by the company website - first impressions. In this case -the products haven't even launched yet. If they haven't launched yet, there is nothing for the website to do - they are just place holders at the moment. Will Scoble say they are great if the real website do some utterly neat AJAX? And maybe do some neat SAAS tricks as well? Both Loic and Scoble have valid points.
- Roberto Bonini
@Scoble “Loic: I know you're French, [. . .]” OK: that was offensively condescending. There is no grammar ambiguity in what you wrote, and you did cross that line. Cultural hint: apologies would be welcome.
- Bertil Hatt
Loic: I would love to know how the meeting went between you and Robert?
- Thomas Cook
" I did not really appreciate Scoble's comment about you being a French" I had missed this one but I know Robert this one is clearly a joke. Where is it? On this page?

Igor, please don't post irrelevant links on my posts =\

...and Maid Cafes are a disgrace to my race. That sub culture is creepy
- Mona Nomura
Dubai is going to be a big draw... all great beauty comes out of great corruption... renaissance Italy is no exception. we still should keep after them for the cultural tyranny that is against free expression. beautiful though and so is the maid cafe Igor. Also Mona N. you are kind of hot... what is the corruption behind you? Igor is irrelevant here... but I can weave it right back into the conversation. the beauty of friends is we allow that.
- Noah David Simon
Noah I think for Mona being she grew up as a Japanese American it is a bit hard to deal with some of the Japanese culture! We all have prejudices against certain behavior! I can rant about Russia even though I only lived there for 9 years as a young boy! Mona Japanese culture is every where! I would not be surprised if you will see some Maid Cafes in USA!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Oh and sorry for the link, but I figured people around you are interested in Japanese culture whatever the shades or colors of it are! Let's show different aspects of what Japan is!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
er... um I disagree Igor. love ya buddy... but the mere fact we are talking about it means we are putting the gears on to import it. still ur right in saying the difference is huge between the variable-american and the variable. I think Israelis are a total different people from me, but I still back their asses up because they are family. er back to dubai. nice looking waterfalls. you should see the ones in NY

Noah: We'll see re: Dubai. But from what I'm reading, it seems as tho many have lost as opposed to gained. As for the irrelevant link thing, I'll address Igor myself :) And thank you for the compliment ;)
- Mona Nomura
Igor: 1. I do not see any reason for that link to be presented in this Dubai thread. The only thing I can think of is shameless self promotion. Diverse conversations with digressive tendencies are indeed great but let's be honest with ourselves. Was that link to the maid cafe video posted on your blog really appropriate for this thread? Honestly, not once did anyone bring up Japan... Maid cafes and Dubai correlate as much as apples and like... gorillas. Yes gorillas, not even oranges.
- Mona Nomura
2. You know nothing about me, my back ground, my family, and upbringing. Thus it's quite inappropriate to speak for me based upon what you think I am about, no?

Roberto: I think the problem is more that businesses don't trust the cloud. While these issues are technologically solvable--and I'm sure that services exist that don't crash, or leak data, or whatever--CIOs need to look at the existing situation. And right now, the cloud has problems just as geeks are pushing CIOs to consider it.

The first 5 times I used the site it timed out while trying to bring up the download page. Then after an 8 second delay I got it to come up. This site is so slow it is unusable.

This is real? I can't believe this is real. This is like every user experience with Windows ever: if the Chairman of the company who makes the software has the problems (and is pissed off about it), and most of the issues he's talking about haven't been fixed after five years, 1) how much power did Gates really wield, and 2) what the hell?

@Stuart Woodward I completely agree with you. I'm a Microsoft solutions architect and my respect for MS has just leapt ten-fold

it is good to know that Gates has similar issues as me... to bad for him he can't ditch MS for Linux or Mac like I did.

I'm not entirely sure this email is genuine - but even if it is almost every issue raised has been dealt with... if it was even true in 2003. As someone who uses and supports Linux, OSX and Windows Vista systems both personally and for clients the simple reality is that Vista is a good desktop OS and Server 2008 is a SUPERB server OS.

I am not sure how Linux and OSX have better usability than windows.. not the case for me and a lot of people I know..

From post: "Now one of my strongest held feelings is centered around how I think this whole thing being called social media is nothing more than a new buzzword that has absolutely no meat to it. I have written many times how I believe that social media is nothing more than an empty catch phrase that people like to flash around in blog posts to give the illusion that this Web 2.0 thing has the power to change our society. Then this morning I came across two posts about the same event but from totally different perspectives that made me take some time to think about this social media idea in a new light."

"Territorial disputes “The number of territory markers predicted road rage better than vehicle value, condition or any of the things that we normally associate with aggressive driving,” say Szlemko. What's more, only the number of bumper stickers, and not their content, predicted road rage — so "Jesus saves" may be just as worrying to fellow drivers as "Don't mess with Texas"."

@rambn: +1!. I also find the Calvin peeing on something stickers to be insanely annoying.

From the abstract: "Aggressive driving may occur when social norms for defending a primary territory (i.e., one's automobile) become confused with less aggressive norms for defending a public territory (i.e., the road)."

I love it when people put huge advertisements for the manufacturer of their vehicle on their back window, like a three-foot wide Chevy emblem. Why do you care how Chevrolet does, unless you're a stockholder, which I'd bet you're not.
- Dave Roth
In some other (mostly third world) countries, vehicles are fantastically decorated with lights and spangles and colorful murals. American roads are boring and bland by comparison. Driving in those countries is different, but as far as I know the drivers aren't any more obnoxious, so I think this is a culturally relative thing.
- ⓞnor
Note that this study's conclusion were based on a survey. Nobody was observed driving on an actual road. I'm pretty skeptical, but you have to love comments like "If you don't like being tailgated get out of the left lane" (said with total seriousness).

@ⓞnor: that belongs on a bumper sticker!

This is pretty funny, as i was commenting to someone a couple weeks ago that I noticed a direct correlation between the number of bumper stickers and blind fanaticism. Perhaps its not a rage thing but an "irrational" thing.
