I met with Scoble today
So today Robert Scoble came by the Macintosh Business Unit here in Silicon Valley to interview us. His blog has an entry about it.
While only Steve is mentioned in that post, I was there as well as Andy. I’m curious to see what will come out of that video!
One of the more interesting discussions that we had afterwards was totally random: how technology has enabled word of mouth advertising to affect movies. I didn’t realize that crappy movies could count on 3 good weekends in a row for word to spread in the 80’s. Wow! Today if you go see a crappy movie, everyone finds out right away.
Unfortunately, that’s one of the biggest problems of the Internet - it tends to accentuate the negatives. You see this in UseNet all the time: this sux, that sucks, alt.product.die.die.die. Nonetheless, it’s good to see some of the outstanding positive blogging that’s been going on about Halo 2 lately!
Now if only I could play without getting motion-sickness! Drat!
