Robert Scoble writes about insults 70 hopeful startup companies
“I just visited every one of these companies. Boy do they almost all suck (at least their Web sites and if their sites suck, I can’t believe their products are going to do much better).”
Who the hell are you, Robert? You’re not an investor, you’ve no idea what it takes to make a successful startup company. You’re not running one, there’s not much sign of you ever having run one from your Wikipedia entry. You studied part of your Journalism degree – did you miss the ‘ideal’ that you’re meant to espouse.

It isn’t about winning or loosing or which conference they made it to, its about them and their product, wives and loved ones have been left behind, Kids haven’t seen Dad’s for months, credit cards are massively overdrawn and careers are being risked.
Robert this is insulting, its insulting to them, its insulting to me as an entrepreneur, I always had you down as the guy in our corner, helping the start-ups, giving us a little bit of that Scoble shine.
You lost that for me tonight buddy.
I agree with Pat entirely. Robert is disappearing up his own arse. He’s got less and less interesting from his blog because he’s always chasing after the next big thing – I stopped following him once he tarted migrating his clan to Friendfeed and the Laconi.ca and I have no idea where these movers and shakers are now. And frankly I don’t care.
You’re the Critic, Robert. And no-one likes that guy.
I suppose it isn’t enough that Scoble blesses companies and products that really aren’t that great…
If they all kissed his ass tomorrow, he’d say he’s always loved them. A regular politician, Scoble is.
The only thing Scoble is good for is dropping names and promoting the cr*p he gets paid to endorse.
To paraphrase GB Shaw, those who can do, those who can’t criticize it.
It’s a bit annoying reading some of the stuff the A-listers produce. I mean, it’s not very inspiring!
Who died and made them Web 2.0 gurus anyhow?
Aren’t we all in this adventure anyhow? And, some of us choose to use the tools that work for us and our business, rather than choosing the ones that are just ‘cool’, but useless and/or time-wasting.
