Loic, I must commend you on your honest and direct approach to this unfortunate situation. I wish you and the team all the best! - Jim McCusker
Great work my friend. I only roll with 4 wheels of truth on a chassis of honesty from now on. Its gross how much I had to lie in the past to cover up for our VCs. - Aaron deMello
Gregory you are stupid. There is only one Segway and it is my personal money. But you are right, I am cutting that too, just nothing to do with Seesmic. You are my first stupid comment of the day if I do not count the trolls. At least you are not anonymous congrats for that. - Loic Le Meur

The goal with Mix is to better network, problem-solve and share ideas among Best Buy’s 160,000 employees. Around 24,000 employees are already active on Blue Shirt Nation, so the conditions are ripe for Mix to become widespread. - Neville Hobson
Isaac Asimov himself doing a Radio Shack ad is unbelievable. Great find. - Josh Haley
My father worked on a computer in Surrey in the early 70's that occupied 5 floors. I always teased him about it. Seeing these ads, I think I'll stop with the teasing.. Pretty awesome ! - embee
I was reading a post today by Mark Cuban where he was talking about what it takes to become rich and I started thinking about what he was saying in relation to blogging; and the business of being a blogger. What follows is a few conclusions I have come to over the three years I’ve been doing this and reading Mark’s post. The thing is that some of them go against the current malarkey that a lot of famous and rich bloggers post about how to get there. - Neville Hobson
if you;re on vista neville I think you may have issues. Stephen Waddingorn tried to use my 2 dongle weeks ago and 3 told him that it wouldn't work because of a Vista compatibility problem. - Paul Fabretti
Well, the packaging and 3 support said Vista is definitely supported. It's not a compatibility issue, it's an installation issue where 3's instructions don't match what you actually have to do. - Neville Hobson
Key point: "Long-term, I think that comments are the most crucial interaction point for blogs, and an area that deserves a lot of investment and innovation. Comments really haven’t changed in a decade, and it’s time to spice things up a little." - Neville Hobson

During New Labour’s long spell in office, the world has changed. The new worries of terrorism and immigration favour parties of the right across Europe. New Labour, meanwhile, has yet to hit upon a distinct and persuasive approach to the new, strategic problem of climate change or the more immediate one of mayhem in the global economy. A deficit of imagination is a problem for any administration, but a crippling one for governments of the centre-left, which tend to live and die by their ideas. - Neville Hobson
Nonprofit I help- it happened to to us too- we just waited 30 mins and DreamHost figured it out - anna awesomesauce
This so sucks. it happens a lot more than people think. - Janet Fouts
Thanks everyone. The site is indeed up again. I'm on the road now so it's been 5 hours or so since I looked at this. Finally a response from DreamHost support. Hardly satisfactory, though. A blog post to come. - Neville Hobson
