Steve, I had the same thought about the biscuits being condoms when I first saw this, but nutella is the awesome! especially on a crepe with fruit!
- Rachel Lea Fox
I did like it, but actually I don't like it at all (the thought of nutella on your fingers alone...). ;-)
- Ton Zijp
There's one celebrity and geek at heart that you've never interviewed Robert!
- directeur
Tomorrow I have the morning free, so am trying to find a fun company to interview. Then in the afternoon I fly to NYC for meetings with my bosses at Fast Company.
- Robert Scoble
directeur: you in San Francisco? I'd love to meet up.
- Robert Scoble
I'll give my old company a plug... Head up to mountain view and talk to Intuit about what they do to get ready for and deal with Tax Season.
- Brian Roy
Robert, come on! me a "celebrity"? :) No, I meant YOU! You've never interviewed yourself right?
- directeur
That is a funny thread...Create your own TED with the Scoble
- Lyn Graft
directeur: I don't like answering stupid questions! :-)
- Robert Scoble
I have an idea Robert: Let me make an interview with you. Me interviewing you about Social media, attention profiling, popularity, microformats and such things. Can we make it? :)
- directeur
Could you interview Sam Altman (Loopt) and get his feelings on Google Latitude?
- Justin Dorfman
Brian: Intuit is a good idea. I'm meeting with Symantec on Monday morning. Directeur: that would be fun! How would we do it?
- Robert Scoble
Robert - if you want a contact let me know... I can DM it to you
- Brian Roy
Robert, I'd really love to do it! Over skype, or IM if you want. We have different opinions on some things and I like debating them with you
- directeur
how long you in nyc for robert? maybe we could meet on friday morning if you have time
- Allen Stern
Brian, even better, I would love to be connected via email. scobleizer@gmail.com
- Robert Scoble
Allen: this time I'm just flying in and out and already have breakfast plans unfortunately. Grrr, maybe next time? I'll be in NY again soon.
- Robert Scoble
directeur: I'm game, but I need to figure out how to record a Skype call.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: All right! I'll try to figure out this too :)
- directeur
That's funny, I was just about to sit down with some TED videos for the night.
- xero
If you can't afford to go to TED, just announce a Twitter meet up in your home town. That's what I did. Maybe it will evolve into my own little TED conference. D
- MarkCarras
ok thanks anyway - i think my startup would make for a great video on scobleizer.tv
- Allen Stern
Robert - email in flight... connected you with 3 folks @ Intuit that should be able to get you some good insights.
- Brian Roy
Allen: can we do it late in the afternoon, say at 4? Can you come to 7 World Trade Center?
- Robert Scoble
Four company visits in one day? Pics or it didn't happen.

Robert, if you are ever near Champaign/Urbana IL, I can arrange for you to interview Jesse Reichler, a PhD student (Artificial Intelligence/Neural Networks) and the founder of a very unusual software company (donationcoder.com) that has been around for almost 4 years and growing fast. They have a very unique business model that I think you and everyone else would find quite intriguing.
- April Russo
Bruce: if you were following my Google Locate you would already have had proof. :-) -- we'll have videos up shortly of two of the companies.
- Robert Scoble
friday at 4pm? and btw i think its 7 world financial center not world trade center
- Allen Stern
That's a lot. You must have developed immunity to jet lag.
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
Allen: yup, Friday at 4 p.m., but call me first. My meetings might run long. I also need to get to the airport by 5:30, so won't have a big window. Oh, and the address is world trade center. http://www.mansueto.com/contact...
- Robert Scoble
interesting when i worked there it was wfc - i think 4-5:30 will be cutting it very close since you will be traveling in rush hour - let's just meetup next time - hope you enjoy nyc - you missed the snow yesterday - it's gone now :)
- Allen Stern
Michael: I can't afford BIL either. It costs money to travel and rent a hotel. Not to mention I can't always be away from home. I was away for Davos.
- Robert Scoble
I think u could have gotten sponsored if u really wanted to go.I'm guessing affordability was not the primary reason.
- Baba
Baba: not true. Money is not flowing in the streets right now.
- Robert Scoble
You can't afford TED? Put out a donation bin. A micropayment model propagated through Twitter. "Send Scoble to $conference". Each person donates $1-$5. That's how to leverage a massive subscriber count.
- Daniel Miessler
Just out of curiosity, how much does TED actually cost?
- V Mary Abraham
I really wish you could meet with some israeli-based companies. They sure need you feedback.
- Orli Yakuel
Orit, Robert should go with Jeff Pulver on one of the trips :-)
- Richard A.
Were the BIL & TED cons in LA this week intentional ? If so, where's Keanu, and are the people there having an excellent adventure?
- Enrique Gutierrez
from twhirl
LOL @Enrique although I had to come here to understand the joke. Tweet was cut off!

Seems to me, that if sequestration can be made to work efficiently, we shouldn't take coal off the table anymore than we should take nuclear off the table. Both coal and nuclear have bad images in the public eye, but we should judge according to outcomes, not emotion. Nuclear scares people for example, but most people think nothing of all the radioactive ash and particulates released by coal, an example of emotion trumping reason.
- Ray Cromwell
I am hosting NED, a hyper exclusive conference and you are invited
