This is the kind of Scoble writing I like to read. A quality explanation of some of the things I think are on the most bleeding edge minds thinking about social networking's next step. AND THE PIGS ARE DAMN CUTE! - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

"but with out the personal data about the "liker" - and that's where the real value is, right?" - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Hopefully this means I can turn off the double notifications from GV (one to the GV app on the phone, and one to the phone itself) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

"Hmm. 1% huh? I guess one person's spam is another person's meat. While I do know that spam activity is down some on Twitter, IMO, it's nowhere near the 1% mark. Twitter has cracked down on some things that do reduce the rate at which "random" spammers (as opposed to spam-for-hire businesses) - likely clamping down on account creation rules has prevented a lot of the serialized account generation, and subsequent hashtag spamming. The most telling thing for me: I turned off the SocialToo auto-return-follow service, and stopped getting new followers. But I'm still unfollowing quite several spammers per day (now down to ~3500ish) Those spammers tweet rather heavily when active. And that's to say nothing of the regular worm attacks that they have "spamming" everyone. Usable information (conversation, quotes, utterings, "non-spam") in Twitter streams is nowhere near 91% as this graph would imply. What percentage of the tweets you look at are not actively selling you something?" - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Ads that actually get you to go in scan the code, do an action are going to be huge. Facebook rolling something out like this just begins to define the space for these kinds of ad networks. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

"Good.I think the judge made the correct decision - they're both telecommunications products, and Integra has had that product a while. No surprise the Nexus isn't selling. They should just pull the T-Mobile version off the shelves. It doesn't work $529 well, and it isn't worth paying the monthly price to have an EDGE phone. That can barely connect to the GSM network from indoors. People aren't buying it because they look in the forums and see that everyone is having massive trouble with them. It looked like they had the issues on the way to being fixed, so I went ahead and bought one. Huge buyers remorse. No 3G (in San Francisco), no support from Google, broken Google Android apps (like Gmail and Voice, Buzz too) As much as I loved it, I'm going to be hard pressed to buy another HTC or Google product." - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
