Oh definitely. I would LOVE to hear everyone's confessions. Why do you think I love reality TV so much? I'm ALL about the drama, as long it's not mine. - Trish R

Nom. Apparently I want to eat you all. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Win and NOM NOM NOM! - Abby Martin
Trent, you inspired me earlier with your comment about pecan pie - Pete Delucchi
OMG that was funny! - Matrixx333
add a scoop of vanilla and then you got yourself a 7 on the NOM scale. - Yolanda
Pete, i wish i was an inspiration for people to make pecan pies more often... - Trent Olson
I literally don't eat sweets *except* for pecan pie, which I a pretty damn sweet pie. I love seeing yet another abstract corner of my life appear on FF - Marko
what about folks with nut allergies? - Glen Campbell
Akiva will not eat his slice of pie! He is a non-nutter. - Rochelle
Too true, too true. - Akiva Moskovitz
Sorry allergic types, you'll have to pick the pecans out, or give up your extra slices. You can have extra whipped cream though. - Pete Delucchi
mmmm....pecan pie - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)
Wicked, already have a slice with my name on it - Michael W. May
aw man :P - Shey
Heresy alert: I *hated* pacan pie when I was younger. Too sweet, sticky, nasty. Then, someone asked me to make it for them. I used my mom's recipe, and I got sorta famous around my church and at work for making it. Now, I really like it. Especially warm with vanilla ice cream. nom^(n+1) - Harvey Simmons
is it ok if I just like pecans and not so much pecan pie? just asking. - Bren
My sister is the reverse, Bren. She likes the pie part, but, not the pecans. - Yolanda
I can see that...I'm just not into the super sweet...give me some nice dark chocolate (like 68% with pecans in it) and I am happy - Bren

my comments about @scobleizer insulting 70 startups
9 hours ago - Link
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/2008/09/... - 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 at WeDoCreative
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 at WeDoCreative
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 at WeDoCreative
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/Pfxjt... - 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 at WeDoCreative
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
Look, Robert do have the same rights than any other one in a free world. He may tell you his opinion about topic. If people do rate the opinion of one person, in this case scoble's, it's not a problem of Robert, but of the people who think an opinion by a specific person is more worth, than any other one. - Ryo
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 at WeDoCreative
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 @TotSpot
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 $18000!!! on a product launch at DEMO. And you knew that your company was going to be mentioned before the actual event...you would create a really well designed intriguing, inviting, impressive landing page which made potential journalists & bloggers think "woah, this look interesting & impressive...i'll look out for these guys". - Zee at WeDoCreative
i gotta say, i'm pissed off Loic has just jacked the debate & discussion...what happened to listening to your community Loic? - Zee at WeDoCreative
Zee: I think there's something to that...I think it's a stretch to extrapolate from suboptimal PR strategies to products and the companies behind them 'sucking' ...there's limited time/$ and a lot of things to do... - Michael Broukhim @TotSpot
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

"When I was a kid - 12, 14, around there - I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn't play ball, I couldn't dance... So, I started to draw and to write. I was... lucky that I didn't have anyone to copy, be impressed by. I had developed my own style, I was creating before I knew there was a Thurber, a Benchley, a Price and a Steinberg. I never saw their work till I was around 30." - Anna Haro
