Robert Scoble
A geek who grew up in Silicon Valley and loves talking technology at http://scobleizer.com . I'm also the troublemaker @ http://www.building43.com for Rackspace.
@vwadhwa I hope to read many more of your posts in 2010. BTW: if you draw out the @techcrunch trolls in comments you've done good! :-)

Part I — Hot Startups to Watch in 2010 - http://scobleizer.com/2010...

not one of these companies is a game changer.For once maybe u will find some company that has a product/service that is a total Game Changer for society as a whole.Not companies that are offshoots of the Social media Landscape experiment.Seems like you are helping fluff of companies in that space specifically only.
- Baba
What makes a startup "hot"? Is it traffic or uniqueness etc?
- Mark
Mark what makes a start up hot is based on a highly scientific formula, it is highly subjective and based on how much fluff you can create.
- Baba
Well if Robert says these are hot startups, I am sure half will be out of business in 2011 :)

Rob La Gesse might correct me, but I am doing a few things for Rackspace. 1. I am its eyes and ears in Silicon Valley and SF tech regions, out of which a large proportion of its potential customers comes.
- Robert Scoble
2. I watch for trends, new technologies, new companies, and things that Rackspace should pay attention to, learn more about, or build partnerships with.
- Robert Scoble
He's lucky to have you, you're the best eyes/ears I've ever seen!! :)
- Susan Beebe
3. I do a video show for http://building43.com that helps share these things with the world, along with our own internal learning.
- Robert Scoble
4. I represent Rackspace on conference stages around the world, most recently at LeWeb which is the largest independent web conference in the world. Next week I'll be on stage a couple of times at CES.
- Robert Scoble
Well, if we are doing our jobs right, I won't have to correct you - we'll be in sync - and we are :)
- Rob La Gesse
5. I watch a large chunk of the tech industry on social networks like Twitter and Facebook and help Rackspace respond to customer pain and ideas. When Rackspace was down last month I pointed customers at information and more in real time before even Techcrunch wrote an article.
- Robert Scoble
This is exactly what companies need to do everywhere. This is a terrific customer service model.
- Susan Beebe
6. I work with high profile customers like Techcrunch and Mashable and make sure they remain happy with Rackspace. If not, at least they now have someone to call and yell at and/or make fun of in blog posts. ;-)
- Robert Scoble
7. I study the world's best customer-focused companies and pass learning onto Rackspace. This past year I've visited Zappos and Tiny Prints, both highly service obsessed companies. In past I've visited Target, Boeing, and many other companies.
- Robert Scoble
You also pass me leads, introduce me to people that might need hosting, introduce me to audiences that need cloud, etc. It's all about finding the influencers - and that's what you are really good at. It's a complex role that Robert makes look easy. It isn't.
- Rob La Gesse
Thanks Susan, I appreciate that!
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, Rob, lots of people don't see that part of my job, in 2010 Techcrunch switched from another hosting company to Rackspace and that led to this video: http://www.rackspace.com/blog...
- Robert Scoble
But really I'm paid to make sure that Rob doesn't sleep. :-)
- Robert Scoble
@scobleizer - not sure if I sleep better or worse working with you. Guess it depends on the color of the wig, and who you are kissing ;)
- Rob La Gesse
Rob: and Techcrunch didn't even publish the worst pictures! :-)
- Robert Scoble
i can assure you rob doesn't sleep - he's called me at 2am before!
- Allen Stern
Allen: he does sleep. Just not that often and not on a predictable schedule.
- Robert Scoble
actually, i don't think Scoble sleeps either! hehe :) Then again, who in the hosting business does? LOL
- Susan Beebe
I've been with Robert when he didn't sleep the night before :-)
- Jesse Stay
uh, that sounded bad...
- Jesse Stay
Why this sudden need to validate your work Robert?
- Brijesh
Because someone asked and I aim to please and to be helpful on this new year.

Yay Robert! ;)

I'm close to signing up for Rackspace Cloud based on your work Robert.
