Lol Robert is having all the fun, you didn't mention what they are doing there :P you now 3 or some - Keith Dsouza

I would prefer you finish our Scrabulous game on FB... - Wayne Porter

Robert's always up past 2am, and they're all geeks. They're all probably just fiddling with their iPhones Twittering and FriendFeeding right now ;-) - Jesse Stay

Heheh. http://twitter.com/blonde20 is in my bed too. I'm so lucky and @maryamie is gonna call soon and ask "wtf?" - Robert Scoble

Jesse: you know us too well. - Robert Scoble

Jesse, lol, Hi Robert, u b nice now! - Myrna

rolling eyes and shaking head in amusement - Kim Landwehr

I've been to too many of those "gatherings" :-) - Jesse Stay

Must be cuz you are a cheerleader. - Oldengrey (Jay)

Funny thing is some of them have been virtual - Jesse Stay

Jesse: shhhhhh. - Robert Scoble

*blank stare* - Mo Kargas

Mo: you know Paul and Sarah are hot, right? - Robert Scoble

Sounds like my normal Saturday night. And Paul and Sarah are hot, but not as hot as Ayelet! - sean percival

Sean: Ayelet was in my bed too, but I figured you wouldn't believe that! :-) - Robert Scoble

Who wants to call Scoble's room? - Mark Drapeau

Mark: it's 204 but everyone just left. Sigh. - Robert Scoble

You might actually have to sleep. - Bruce Lewis

Bruce: sleep? What's that? - Robert Scoble

I think there's a wikipedia page that explains it. It's awesome. Not as good as FriendFeed, but sleep is a close second. - Bruce Lewis

Who says geeks and nerds are boring? - George Hall (Australia)

George: not me! - Robert Scoble

+1 Robert. - George Hall (Australia)

Hey Robert!!!!!!! - Myrna

You're cheating. You said you were going to sleep. - Myrna

How many convos do you have to close now? - Myrna

not a fan of Umair's, Gabe? - mathew ingram

Garbage is fun too read. - Wayne Porter

I think the author needs to Google the following: "Austrian Business Cycle Theory." - Chris Rossini

chris, the whole post is about umm...austrian economics. gabe, thanks for the personal attack. i hope the rest of you guys enjoyed it, anyways. - umair

I think civility has hurt me. Happy you're LOL though. FriendFeed comments really deliver in that dept. - Gabe Rivera

Wait, what happened to "Gabe, LOL"? You're giving me some good ideas on how to creatively abuse the "edit" function. - Gabe Rivera

1) i dont think everyone has to like what everyone else likes - that makes for an intensely boring world. 2) gabe/mathew - i like you both and respect your opinions, but i feel you both seagulled your negativity here rather than share a constructive viewpoint. 3) i shared it because its interesting - like it or not, its interesting. - Jeremy Toeman

look. i get the feeling i stepped on someone's toes or that there is something personal going on here. apologies if i offended anyone - the post was meant to be positive, in every sense of the word, for all of us. - umair

@Jeremy: I can't say I ever feel much of a strong desire to run to the defense of Mathew Ingram but unless I missed something he sea-gulled no negativity here. his comment basically went ignored, so it can't even be accused of egging on any of the trollism that followed... it's not fair to presume that Ingram "owes" the thread a "constructive viewpoint"... his comment, to me, looked casual and I read it with a humerous undertone... more conversation with his friend Gabe, not an attack on Umair... - Matt Shaulis

Those were Larry's words. I tend to agree with your wording Wayne. - Scott Jangro

Nods. Sometimes I have to step and remember- you can lead a horse to water... - Wayne Porter

think Dana's piece highlights the tremendous upside to better, more relevant, advertising - Adam Kazwell

Bear in mind the quoted study was done by someone at *AOL* marketing. - ⓞnor

Think that's a very good point - would be interested to see Yahoo and Google's performance - Adam Kazwell

I bet everyone's done their own version of the study. I wonder how you'd do a comparison. Run lots of ads representing a sample of the actual ads shown? How to determine that without access to the query stream? - ⓞnor

The study seemed to focus on banner ads, especially the deceptive ones promising winnings. Does this apply to text ads? - Kevin Fox

I would like to see an "ad" defined today. - Wayne Porter

Kevin, you're right. This study she references doesn't apply to text search ads -- just banner/display ads. - Ginger Makela Riker

It's unfortunate that most internet marketers do not focus on brand awareness but on clicks. - Andreas Gohr
