DISQUS

Loic Le Meur: Sponsored post by Robert Scoble

  • Scobleizer · 1 year ago
    I wanted to support TechMeme. It has brought me so much value over the past couple of years that I wanted to repay Gabe for all his work. But, on the other hand, this is the only way to get links to videos onto TechMeme. And, more and more of the influencers in the industry are on FriendFeed and Twitter and not on TechMeme and that's who I want to reach.

    It shouldn't be this way though. Techmeme was once the first stop for influence, and yet today its more and more mainstream. Sad, I've spent soooooo many hours on Techmeme over the years

    ah! I was sure I would get a great explanation in no time Robert thanks! I should be with you tonight I have to be at 0730 in Half Moon Bay... Congrats in supporting Gabe.

    Robert, Duncan, the idea that Techmeme is losing influencers to FriendFeed is something you only hear on FriendFeed, usually by people who aren't very influential, and who in fact still read Techmeme. In short, it's a complete farce. Robert, I very much appreciate the support and am pleased Techmeme is introducing your videos to influencers who aren't FriendFeed users.

    Gabe, I still believe TechMeme is "THE" source of news from influencers. FriendFeed is too noisy for me, and although I use it regularly, it's far from being a source of great news.

    Loic, it sounds to me like Seesmic needs to sponsor Techmeme.

    Funny: there's a whole FriendFeed comment cluster about this post here: http://friendfeed.com/e/7183a8d6-020e-f385-9a8e... which has some interesting conversations.

    I realize that the algorithm to Techmeme is its "secret sauce" and I'm sure a trade secret (as it should be). But Gabe needs to do more to discuss, in general tems, what the algorithm uses as criteria. I haven't seen much on this and I've read, over time, many people questioning what the criteria of the algorithm are.

    Gabe, I would love to sponsor Techmeme but in a creative way, live video comments on TechMeme entries for example, we should talk about it!

    I don't get your point -- what's wrong with trade advertising?
  • Loic Lemeur · 1 year ago
    John, Scoble is on Techmeme all the time by himself, no need for him to have sponsored posts that was my point
