I wish I could join you... :( - Pico Seno

Cisco is giving me access to executives who usually never talk to the press. They are announcing a bunch of stuff soon for data centers that's going to push the industry forward. I wonder what IBM, HP, and Sun are doing (Sun has a press conference next week too -- it's going to be a big week in datacenter/enterprise land). - Robert Scoble

I'm learning more about datacenters than I ever expected to know. - Robert Scoble

Pico: the people I'm meeting have lots of cool stories about the networking industry. I interviewed the team yesterday that was Cisco's first acquisition. Been doing this stuff for a long time. - Robert Scoble

Robert: I'm looking forward to learning more about your meetings with Cisco executives. Have you made contact with key folks in the Emerging Technologies Group? If no, let me know, I can make an introduction for you. I have a key relationship within this group who is focused on creating the next $1B business unit for Cisco. They brought telepresence to market and held the Cisco IPrize contest; which my team came in second. Well we were one of 12 finalists but as far as I'm concerned we came in second! - B2B Specialist

Surely its just fibre channels, fast buses and redundancy? I agree that a lot of the stuff that Cisco does, is the unsung frameworks that we all take for granted in the Twitter-verse et al. But what is really exciting that Cisco are doing, I'd really like to know? Yours ex-networking guy with Cisco training to boot. - Ed Richardson

Ed: not even close. Come back Monday. - Robert Scoble

Chris: I did this interview a couple of weeks ago, not sure if that covers it: http://www.fastcompany.tv/video... , would love more introductions. - Robert Scoble

irvin, let me Google that for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=SXSW - Robert Scoble

Sleep is important. Good luck on Saturday! - Alexander Ainslie

Are you talking to Cisco about their purchase of Pure Digital? *wink* - andy brudtkuhl

I shall return expecting news of gifts of technological excellence - Ed Richardson

We usually keep all the smart-guys locked up in the lab somewhere and only let talking heads like myself out to play - we thought it would be fun to do a thing we call 'Cisco Unscripted' and give very unfettered, unscripted, pretty unfiltered (there are a few bleeps you just HAVE to edit) to the people who do the real work, invent the technologies, build the products, etc.... - Douglas Gourlay
